After a long drought, it is a rainy day, and a foreign country meets a familiar one.

Dong Zhongshu met Yuan Gusheng when he was in trouble, the two of them were very happy to swim together, under the invitation of Yuan Gusheng, Dong Zhongshu came to Wei Qihou's mansion, and the sudden good news made Wei Qihou overjoyed, and he was so happy that he almost greeted each other.

Dou Ying was so hospitable, sent someone to dress him up, put on the best silk clothes to set up a banquet for hospitality, listened to the voice of silk and bamboo and admired the beautiful beauty, Dong Zhongshu was moved to a mess: "It is a great luck to meet the prince and marquis!" There is no way to repay the great kindness! ”

"Dong Sheng doesn't have to be too humble, I heard the name of Dong Sheng for a long time, but at that time, Dong Sheng had no intention of refusing to be invited by many parties, and today I have to see the early repayment of the year's volunteers."

The two of them felt a little like each other in tears.

Dou Ying's heart was very emotional, Dong Zhongshu was also a famous Confucian in Kanto, and he was a little miserable when he was tossed and almost lived on the street.

If it weren't for the fact that Jia Ding heard that there was a Confucian student in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, he hurriedly asked Yuan Gusheng to come to the rescue, but he was afraid that Dong Zhongshu would face the miserable situation of being homeless.

Counting the small character Kong Wu who sat with him, the four Confucian students talked about wine and talked about their life aspirations like confidants, and out of a sense of mission to Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu proposed a plan to revitalize Confucianism.

"Revitalizing Confucianism? What's the saying? ”

"Poverty leads to change, change leads to change, Tangwu Revolution lies in a change, and it is time for Confucianism to change."

Yuan Gusheng was surprised: "It's change again? ”

"What? Anyone mentioned change? ”

"Yes, it's Kong Wu, the head of the Kong family."

Dong Zhongshu was slightly startled. Looking at the young man who was too clean, with a faint smile on his face, and a strong self-confidence all over his body: "Lu Guo Kongwu meets Dong Sheng." I have heard for a long time that Dong Sheng is a pedantic man, and he is willing to worship you to study "Ram Spring and Autumn". ”

"What a rare young talent! He will be an amazing hero in the future. Dong Zhongshu nodded and retracted.

Kong Wu consciously expressed his expression very well, so he talked eloquently: "I advocate that the reform lies in the mixing of Confucianism and law, absorbing the governance policy of Legalism and criminal name, and combining benevolence and filial piety to summarize the new learning, so as to resist the impact of Huang Lao's new learning." ”

"Do you have a clue?"

Kong Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was only a fledgling at his age. There is still a long way to go before we can thoroughly understand the Six Classics, and sorting out the new learning will only be even more difficult.

Yuan Gusheng and Dong Zhongshu looked at each other and smiled, it is good for young people to dare to think and dare to do it, and to have hard work and blood. The ability to solve dilemmas is slightly skewed.

Dou Ying didn't want to be cold, and said instead: "Yesterday, I sent someone to send a message of worship to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and I think there will be a reply in a few days." ”

"When, exactly? I'm going to get ready. ”

Dou Ying said helplessly: "You may have to wait, because the coffin of the first emperor is about to enter the Yang Mausoleum." ”

The Confucian students were stunned. The "Weekly Rites" stipulates that the Son of Heaven will be buried in seven days. Buried in July, the first emperor died on September 26 last year, and it is exactly seven months old at the end of April today.

On April 26 of the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, outside the six ques in the south of Chang'an City.

Liu Che was wearing a pure white robe, holding the coffin of the first emperor on foot, on both sides of the coffin were several sons of the first emperor, namely Liu De, King of Hejian, Liu Yu, King of Lu, Liu Fei, King of Jiangdu, Liu Liu, King of Changsha, Liu Pengzu of Zhao, Liu Duan, King of Jiaoxi, Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan, Liu Yue, King of Guangchuan, Liu Ji, King of Jiaodong, Liu Cheng, King of Qinghe, and Liu Shun, King of Changshan.

The Han family etiquette has always paid attention to the first hundred virtues and filial piety, and it is an ancient ritual for a filial son to support the coffin to send his deceased father to the funeral. The Ninety-Five Honor of the Son of Heaven can be exempted, but no Son of Heaven is willing to make exceptions.

Liu Che is a filial child. In the past few days, he has been remembering the first emperor day and night, seven days before the burial, he entered the state of isolating the four walls, fasting and bathing to maintain a pious heart without distractions, and he wanted to send the first emperor into Yangling with a pure filial piety heart.

The Empress Dowager sat in the carriage and did not move, her cloudy eyes had long since lost sight, and she seemed to be dead.

The princess Liu Xuan, the chief of the museum, sat opposite, the first was already gray, the concubine Hou Chen Chan died, and the princess Liu Shu, who had not yet given birth, became a little widow, according to the Han family etiquette law, the widow should go back to her mother's house to live, and then the mother's family rearranged the family affairs, as long as she was under the age of 30, she had to remarry, and if she did not remarry, she would be taxed several times according to the unmarried woman.

Princess Longxi went home, no longer called Princess Longxi, her new name is Princess Qu Shun, and she lived at home for less than half a month before she hurriedly married Qu Shunhou Chen He and became the daughter-in-law of another Chen family.

Liu Xue is very sad, she has always been very good to Liu Shu, the princess of Longxi, and she was counting on her son Chen Chan to give birth to a son-in-law, so that she could hug her grandson and enjoy the joy of family at a young age, but Chen Chan was too angry, and she didn't care about her wife who was like a flower at home, and she was looking for flowers all day long and asking Liu if she was not in shape, and every time she said that he kept saying that it was a man's true colors.

And he died in the true nature of a man.

When the person died, his wife remarried, and he married Chen He, who had beaten Chen Xuan, this kid is not a good bird, and he kicked over a family affair arranged by the family to marry the daughter of the liehou, at that time he was just a little child, and almost didn't get angry with his surviving father Chen Kui, so no one among the liehou said goodbye to the Qu Shunhou family anymore, the father Chen Kui just died on the front foot, and Chen He ran around like a rabbit spreading a rope.

Now, the most spurned Qu Rebellion Hou Chen He ushered in the dawn of life, and the twenty-three-year-old gangster not only entered the Yulin Riding Gangster, but also married Liu Shu, the former princess of Qu Rebellion.

And the longshou Hou Chen Chan, who was praised by everyone back then, came to the end of his life in praise and applause, and the Longshu Hou died in the country, and even his wife became the daughter-in-law of the enemy.

The princess of the pavilion Tao was a little puzzled.

The world is impermanent, and the poor child suffers inhuman humiliation and suffering, while her enemies live a nourishing life.

The Queen Mother sat in another carriage, the first time she had called it a carriage alone, and did not serve by the side of the Queen Mother, as was customary.

Picking up the white cloth curtain and seeing the carriage opposite, the mother-in-law Dou Yifang and the eldest sister-in-law Liu Concubine were full of sadness and put down the curtain. Wang Wan suddenly smiled.

After decades of suffering and humiliation, she finally survived to the moment when she raised her eyebrows, and she made countless efforts for this day.

Wang Wan suddenly turned her head. He instructed lightly: "From now on, except for the morning and dusk of Changxin Palace, the rest of the arrangements should be removed, my emperor's life is hard, for the sake of my mother, I should think more about the emperor, and serve the queen mother and hand it over to the princess of the pavilion." ”

The convoy supporting the coffin went out of the south gate to circle the city for half a week, and millions of onlookers stood on both sides of the road. Seeing off the first emperor who ruled the world for 16 years, many people also shed tears, perhaps they still remember the credit for repairing Chang'an City. As long as Chang'an City is still in the heart for a day, that credit will always be remembered in the hearts of every Chang'an resident.

The long convoy of funerals passed through Weiqiao and slowly arrived at the destination Yangling.

Yangling is adjacent to the Changling Tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao, and the scale and height of the construction are comparable to that of Changling. A cart of funeral goods had to be entered first. The proclamators kept calling their names.

The more the ministers listened to the moon, the more they heard about it, and the funeral goods were far less than expected, which did not seem to be in line with the thoughts of the first emperor when he was alive.

"陛xià......"

Bai Zhihou Xuchang's words were silenced halfway through, and all the funeral goods were loaded into the mausoleum so quickly, which was dozens of times different from the prediction in advance.

One billion yuan was a very huge number in the early Han Dynasty, and the funeral goods of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang were less than 100 million yuan. Emperor Taizongwen's funeral goods Liu Heng only cost tens of millions of money, and Emperor Xiaohui's funeral goods only cost tens of millions. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the living conditions were poor, and there were many people who were poor and could not eat, so it was normal for the emperor to lower the funeral standards.

But in the era of increasing prosperity sixty years later, Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao, died of illness and the funeral goods amounted to 2 billion yuan, you must know that he was only a prince and king, and in the face of the emperor who was far richer than himself, the funeral goods were turned to 20 billion yuan.

Why is there only 1o billion money.

Liu Che knelt in front of the coffin and was indifferent.

“…… The first emperor reigned for 16 years, the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the disaster of the country and the people, the conscientious and conscientious 16 cold and summer, created the peaceful and prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, repaired Chang'an City to benefit the people, built a temple and a statue of Tai as the state religion, 16 years of the four people are rich and all industries have recovered, live and work in peace and contentment, the country and the people are safe, since the Han Xing for more than 60 years, the population has doubled, the national strength has increased tenfold, and the merit has been great to enter the Taimiao Gaozong, and enjoy the incense of eternal admiration. ”

The confessor Ji Di held the sacrificial text in his hand and his voice was high-pitched and loud: "The first emperor left a will before his death: It is not easy for the Han family to govern the country for more than 60 years, so far the people have worked hard to cultivate the fields to get a food and clothing, but the wind of thick burials has ruined the thrifty folk customs in vain, and the people have collected the funeral goods at no cost at all costs for the burial of their parents, exhausted the last trace of surplus wealth and owed usury like a mountain, and worked hard for 20 years to pay off foreign debts. The living are suffering, the dead are uneasy, and future generations should take me as the standard, the emperor's funeral goods shall not exceed one billion yuan, and if the national strength declines and then be reduced as appropriate, the funeral goods of the princes and kings shall not exceed 100 million yuan, the princes shall not exceed 50 million yuan, the marquis shall not exceed 20 million yuan, and so on until the common people shall not exceed 5,000 yuan......"

Wrong! This is an overkill!

Almost everyone present raised their heads, and they looked at the young emperor, even if the tone was very similar, but everyone who was familiar with the first emperor knew that this edict did not exist at all.

The smart man immediately thought of a thing, Liu Che said what he wanted to say through the mouth of the first emperor, and he wanted to abolish the practice of thick burials.

Prime Minister Xu Chang grabbed Cao Shi's arm and said, "Shaofu, do you know the ins and outs?" ”

Cao Shi wanted to break free, but he was surrounded by Shangqing on the left and right, and said helplessly: "I don't know much either!" ”

"I don't believe it!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

Cao Shi raised his eyebrows: "If you ask me about this kind of thing, it is better to ask yourself in your own hearts, what does the edict of the first emperor mean?" ”

Several old Shangqing glanced at each other, this kid was shrewd like a monkey, he just didn't jump after digging the pit, and kept saying what the emperor's edict was.

The coffin of the first emperor was slowly sent into the depths of the mausoleum, and Liu Che stood outside the door of the tomb and watched quietly, which was his last farewell to his deceased father. (To be continued!)
