Chapter 313: Martyrdom
The rice and rice ceremony is completed, and then it's time for the small gathering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis ritual was simplified a lot during the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty advocated thick burials, but... Well, just because even the Tang Dynasty had to improve the promotion of thick burials, you can imagine that this ceremony used to cost a lot of money.
In the Tang Dynasty, only twelve sets of carefully carved and prepared clothes were needed. But do you know how to do it before? The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was the most extravagant, and he wanted to use finely broken jade pieces to get something like armor.
Can you imagine, right? In ancient times, iron armor was strung together piece by piece, but the emperor used jade. Then, connect it with a golden thread. Mother, no wonder Cao Cao went to rob the tomb, hearing such news, Li Chen wanted to dig the tomb.
This situation lasted until the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Pi, who escaped the Han Dynasty, did a good deed, and he won't waste anything with this kind of extravagance in the future. What to do after that? Because of the unstable political situation, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that more than a dozen or even twenty sets of clothes were established as clothes.
All of the above were what **** Zhen told him, which made Li Chen feel a burst of surprise and disdain in his heart. This old eunuch actually has a lot of knowledge, and he is not just a palace fighting master. And what made him disdainful was that Cao Pi would say this, eighty percent of the reason was not thrift, but because of the war, the population plummeted, and they were all killed, so he had to order saving, otherwise every emperor would do this, and his descendants would go bankrupt.
However, if he could have predicted that his Cao family would collapse in a short time, he probably wouldn't have given this order.
These things were busy for half a night, and those who cried and cried, no matter what their status, dispersed. When it comes to dawn, it will be a little small, and there will be a performance at that time. Gather stamina.
Li Chen didn't have the life to leave, although he was also very tired. But he still had to keep the spirit, and he wanted to take the opportunity to say something to Wang Cairen, but seeing that she was also gone, he just left.
After changing his clothes, Emperor Daxing placed himself on the mourning bed, and then a group of Ling people came in. It's a Lingren, not a performer. They were responsible for making ice cubes, and because of the long time of the funeral, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, they had to place ice cubes under the funeral bed. The person in charge of this is called "Ling Ren", and a special Ling room is set up to provide ice.
Li Chen doubted, is there really a Ling room? I saved a bunch of ice cubes all day long, and waited for the emperor to hang up and refrigerate him? In case the emperor does not die and lives for ten or twenty years, these ice cubes will also be preserved for ten or twenty years?
Li Chen thought about it casually, and didn't care much, anyway, he just wanted ice and got some saltpeter to make it. Then, under the guidance of a small eunuch, Li Chen walked to the resting place. After the Zhu Ming Gate, then through the Liangyi Gate, to the early Tang Dynasty Emperor's bedroom, the Liangyi Palace.
The place is really big enough, Li Chen secretly felt to himself. Where the ancients were stronger than the modern people, it was the land. The per capita unit is much stronger than that of modern people.
After entering the Liangyi Palace, several palace maids were about to come up to change Li Chen's clothes. Li Chen opened his hands and was at their mercy. changed into light clothes, but Li Chen didn't feel sleepy, put a cloak on his head, and walked out.
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Chen looked at the moon in the sky, in a daze, thinking about the many things that had happened since the crossing. Suddenly, he thought of Zhang Baogao, the person he once wanted to deal with, but now he is dead, but it is not Li Chen's hand.
At one time, Zhang Baogao threatened him, he was an ordinary businessman at that time, but he was the god of the sea in Silla, whether it was money or power, he was much more powerful than him.
He had plotted to deal with him, and he thought of a way to easily clean up Zhang Baogao, and he didn't have to do much.
However, all this did not come in handy as he used his magic power, showed his magical powers, and pretended to be a ghost. The Silla people and even those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Yangzhou were frightened and did not dare to jump out to die again. Li Chen didn't care.
I didn't care about it then, and I don't care about it now. His vision has gone further, and those obstacles have become ringworm scabies. It's just that Zhang Baogao can't escape death after all.
He was killed by the Assassins, and the Silla nobles sent someone to assassinate Jang while he was drunk. This is what happened not long ago. The reason is the same as what Li Chen thought at the beginning. The stubborn Silla aristocratic forces were unwilling to let a commoner like Zhang Baogao enter them.
First of all, he tried his best to oppose the king of Silla to take Zhang Nu as the queen, so angry that Zhang Baogao raised an army, planning to kill back and come to the side of the Qing monarch, and I didn't want to think about who gave you the throne at the beginning. As a result, shortly before the army, after a night banquet, Zhang Baogao was so drunk that he was killed by an assassin sent by the nobles.
Li Chen also planned to send people to Silla to spread rumors and force the Silla people to destroy the Great Wall. Later, because of the shift of attention and the high horizon, Zhang Baogao no longer regarded Zhang Baogao as a great enemy, so he did not send anyone to act. As a result, even if Li Chen didn't do it, Zhang Baogao was still pulled out by the Silla people.
'That's?' At this time, there was a lot of firelight flashing, waking Li Chen up, and he looked over, it was next to the Liangyi Palace, the direction of the Wanchun Palace, which was temporarily used as a place for the concubines to rest. Probably something happened and saw a lot of fires flickering.
'What's going on?' Li Chen followed the firelight and walked towards the Wanchun Palace. After passing, Li Chen heard the reason for the commotion... Wang Cairen was martyred.
In order to avoid suspicion, Li Chen did not go in, but just listened at the entrance of the hall. Several eunuchs and palace maids were talking in low voices. Li Chen listened, and those eunuchs and palace maids didn't notice it. First, the sky was dark, and second, Li Chen put on a cloak in a low-key manner, and these eunuchs and palace maids didn't recognize who he was.
However, if they didn't recognize it, they didn't recognize it, these eunuchs and palace maids had never even entered the scene, except for saying some truths that they had guessed randomly, that is, some secrets in the palace, there was nothing related to this time.
'What are you doing here, it's all for our family to return to their original position.' At this time, a sharp voice sounded, Li Chen turned his head and looked, it turned out to be **** Wu, he followed **** Zhen, and drove those onlookers away with a loud voice.
'It's so unruly, Emperor Daxing went, and these people dispersed, father-in-law, you must rectify it in the future. , worthy of being an excellent dogleg, at this time, I don't want to pat myself on the back, Li Chen praised this **** martial arts.
The onlookers were driven away, Li Chen was exposed, Li Chen stepped forward to greet Magong Palace, and followed the **** Zhen in.
At this time, Wang Cairen's body had been put down, in the main hall, covered with a white cloth, and there was only one maid beside her who was crying so hoarse that her eyes were red and swollen, Li Chen recognized it at a glance, this was Dihua, the little maid who was sent by Wang Cairen to report the news before.
'Is this how it was that the talent was not long ago?' **** Zhen came in, his eyes swept around, to see if anyone could give him an answer. The question is still **** martial arts.
It's just that this Ma Gonggong is probably cautious, and some onlookers of the palace ladies, eunuchs, and the concubines of the emperor are scattered in fear. Some of them were originally responsible for the cleaning of this hall, and some of them were concubines who were temporarily placed here, and no one stayed at this time, only Ogika remained.
Ogika silently took out a letter, the envelope looked thick, and there was a carp painted on it. After Zhen took it, he opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper, which did not write anything, only wrote a desperate poem, saying that he would go to Jiuquan and serve the emperor of Daxing.
'Grandpa Ma, what is written on it. Li Chen pretended to be curious, leaned over to look, his face was still stupid, **** Zhen signed the letter, and explained briefly, so that he had to say that he wanted to bury Wang Cairen and Emperor Daxing together.
If the king pleases, he can take the maid back to the palace. Seeing Li Chen's clumsy comfort, **** Zhen began to cry again, and said along the water, he only thought that Li Chen had a special taste, and he didn't think much about this maid.
The next day, the sky was light, and the drums sounded in the Taiji Palace, although there was an accident, but the whole ceremony still had to continue.
In the sound of drums, the door of the Taiji Palace was opened, and the civil and military officials and the women with official qualities were positioned in order, and the etiquette made the emperor and the prince in place, and everyone present cried. When the inner confessor led the kings and others to take their thrones, the deacons gave an order, and the people wept in unison.
Then, in the midst of the unified order, the crowd stopped crying again. Only Li Chen didn't, under the **** Zhen's instructions, he cried heartbreakingly, and even feared that he wouldn't cry enough, **** Zhen also took dogwood and other spicy things to stimulate his eyes, and he had to cry if he didn't want to cry now. He cried as if it were not his nephew who died, but his own son.
With him taking the lead, someone else cried, but this time it was uneven. Finally, Li Chen felt the spicy meaning in his eyes subside, and he stopped crying, and the others stopped, not letting the ceremony go on.
Li Chen's performance made **** Zhen nod secretly, sighing that the son can be taught. If Li Chen is disobedient, or obedient but stupid and doesn't know what to do, he can't do anything, the problem is that it will be more troublesome.
In this link, there are many people who have problems. Don't say crying, some emperors will laugh. It's okay to laugh, and the plot should be a little lighter than running to the funeral to have fun. Li Chen actually wanted to emulate Emperor Wu of Jin, and he didn't cry at the funeral, and some courtiers persuaded him, why don't you cry.
Emperor Wu of Jin probably wanted to say, Lao Tzu almost laughed, you still want me to cry, beware that I will make you cry enough when I come to power.
Of course, he wouldn't say that, but he didn't cry either, and said very smartly, "If you mourn, you cry, how often!" When the grief is to the extent that you cry, there is no routine. This sentence was actually praised by the courtiers.
After the courtiers finished crying, Xiao Ji continued, and finally dressed the emperor again. At this time, the nineteen sets of clothes that were placed in the hall in advance and placed on the east seat in the middle of the hall were taken out and began to be put on for the emperor of Daxing.
Li Chen wanted to say, it's good that this is a dead person, who can bear this sin. The living were tortured to death. (To be continued.) )
