A few days later, it was a big burial in Qishan.

To the west of the Chang'an sacrificial ground is Xi'an County, and further west is Qishan.

Qishan, the mountain of the dead, the place where the remains of the first emperor were cremated. Not only the first emperor, but also the previous emperors; Not only the previous Ming Emperors, but also the emperors of all dynasties!

It is said that in the past, the emperor was buried in the imperial tomb after his death. The Imperial Tomb has two disadvantages, first, it is easy to steal. This shortcoming is okay, just make a sturdy one, but the difficult one is the second shortcoming: there are too many emperors, and there are not enough places. Do you think, how many dynasties and how many emperors since ancient times, if there are not 100 million emperors, there will be 10,000 - and there will be more - so many emperors, even if there are 20 million square kilometers in the world, it will not be enough! Therefore, the later emperors burned all of them.

The funeral procession had to walk from Chang'an to Qishan, from noon to evening, and it was the emperor, the royal family, and the ministers who carried the 10,000-pound coffin of the emperor!

Not everyone can carry the hall, only a very human minister has this qualification.

I saw hundreds of superb ministers in white mourning clothes carrying a large platform, on which was the golden silk nanmu coffin of the first emperor Zhu Zhaotian.

Emperor Zhu Honghua walked in front with the coffin, the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng was on his left, and the tenth prince Zhu Hongsi was on his right.

They were flanked by the rest of the adult princes, all of whom wore yellow dragon robes.

Behind them is a group of Wu Yangyang, the imperial officials, Beijing officials, magistrates, generals, etc., Dongfang Chengping is crowded in the middle, and his head can't be seen at all if you don't look carefully.

The weather was so hot, so hot that His Majesty the Emperor wiped sweat with his left hand, fanned his right hand, and occasionally drank a glass of ice water.

The lot around the road had been closed a few days ago, and it had been emptied within ten miles, leaving no one behind, and even the windows in the rooms had to be left open, and the drawers had to be left open to prevent assassination.

The walls and houses were covered with white linen, and the floors were covered with new marble, and even the plaques of the shops had to be covered.

From the Chang'an sacrificial field to Qishan, there were people of grief and crying all the way, no less than a million people! These people are not idle people, there is not a single commoner among a million people, they are all scholars, and they are strictly selected high-ranking scholars. I think when I lived to be 20 years old in our county, I had never seen a single scholar, and there were a million of them here! You think, these people must be carefully selected, and how dangerous it would be if they mixed in with an inferior person! If the emperor is assassinated, how can this be done?

The entire Imperial Army of the Forbidden Army was dispatched and stood guard at a distance of three meters and two to block the fanatical and sad crowd and prevent them from rushing forward too sadly.

But the crowd is so sad! I saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes rushing out of the gap between the two forbidden armies, and suddenly stopped four or five meters away from the coffin, as if there was transparent glass to stop him. He lay on the ground and wept, snot and tears flying all over the sky, he beat his chest and scratched his hair as if it were his own father who had died—no, it was more painful than his own father who had died.

The royal cameraman, who had been pointing at the emperor all along, was now slapping at him. What a good subject—that was the headline on the front page of the Royal News the next day.

The crowd was even sadder.

The body of the former emperor and the pace of the emperor tug the hearts of millions of subjects, how people wish that time could stop, stop, stop, let people take another look, let people look again, let people look at the first emperor who died after doing his best, and look at the emperor who is wise and martial arts, loyal and filial piety. The emperor's kind face appeared in front of people's eyes, and the kind voice of the first emperor sounded in their ears, because they were all holding portraits of the emperor, and the will of the first emperor was also played on the loudspeaker - "I handed over the Ming to Honghua".

The deceased emperor and the emperor who carried the coffin passed slowly, slowly passed, and people were reluctant to leave for a long time, unwilling to leave for a long time, unwilling to leave for a long time, as if waiting for the emperor to return, because only when the emperor returned, the funeral of the former emperor was over, and they could leave.

People are so sad, as evidenced by the fact that thirty kilometers and seven hours are indicated.

In Qishan County, Chang'an County, Gyeonggi Province, the Ming Empire, at seven o'clock in the evening of August 28, the first year of Honghua of the Ming Dynasty, the body of the former Emperor Zhaotian arrived in Qishan.

Qishan is the third mountain in the Ming Dynasty. The first mountain is the holy mountain, and the holy mountain represents the beginning. The second mountain is Mount Tai, which represents the process. The third mountain is Qishan, which represents the end.

The royal mourning music sounded, and people sang the "Daming Lamentation":

-

We will always remember you

The Sacred Crown

A supple face

Reign of mercy

until

There was no more silence

We will remember you

Your courage

Your sword

Your prophecy

until

True repentance

We will meet you

until

Lasting

the winds of change

At the time of the dissipation of all things

Waiting for you

Risen again like a god

until

Apocalypse

I can't help but think of the prophecy about Qishan in the King James Daming Teachings.

The first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Dayuan, was the reincarnation of the Son of God, he was the initial and the ultimate, he was the cause and effect.

He came down from heaven to earth and promised perfection and eternity on earth.

He gives hope to people but keeps his sins to himself.

He didn't die, he just slept.

When the Ming Dynasty ends, he will resurrect from Qishan and rebuild the Ming Dynasty.

Like, reincarnation.

At this time, the setting sun hung in the west, shining on the cremation place of the first emperor from the pass of the western peak of Qishan.

The burning coffin generates a pillar of light, white in the distance, yellow in the distance, and red when approaching.

Thick smoke rises everywhere, and the golden silk nanmu burns with some aroma. At the bottom is a blue flame, followed by white, red, and black, and at the top is black smoke reaching into the sky.

The ravens circled around the black smoke, and the eagles swooped over them.

If you don't look at the coffin of the first emperor, but stand tall and look at it, you will see that the first emperor's smoke column is only one of them, because there are hundreds of smoke columns of his concubines around.

The people of the major denominations began to dance, to do the practice, to chant the sutras, to pray the prayers, may the emperor above heaven rest in peace!

At this time, the royal sacrificial procession put out all kinds of pastry dishes, red wine and white wine, and the Confucian leader and royal priest Kong Youli knelt down, and said after nine bows: "The first emperor is going to the underworld, don't save along the way, you should eat and drink." ”

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. Most of them have been burned, and only a few ashes are still smoking.

In the end, Emperor Zhu Honghua came to the pile of his father's ashes, and behind the emperor stood hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of forbidden troops.

The emperor knelt, and all the others knelt as well.

I also knelt down, but it was so crowded that my knees could only kneel on the calf of my boss, the director of the Guangchu Division, and hit him with an "ah" sound.

The emperor said: "Rest in peace father, the emperor must be like you, be a good emperor praised by everyone, let the world be smooth and enjoy peace forever!" ”

All the people cheered: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live", and so on and so on until the Emperor got up.

This is the end of the funeral of Emperor Zhaotian of the Ming Dynasty.

Qishan remained closed, leaving the Royal Guardian Army to defend it and wait for the new emperor to die before opening it.

The emperor took the car back to the palace, and people with a bit of status also took the car back, and of course I was too.

We had just walked for a while when the car stopped.

The emperor got out of the car.

All the retinue and the forbidden army also got out of the car to protect the emperor.

Emperor Zhu Honghua said: "It is better to go to Xi'an County to observe the people's feelings." ”

Jin Yuguang, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood up and said, "The emperor personally experienced the people's feelings, which is the blessing of my dynasty." ”

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng - wait, he doesn't seem to be the prince anymore, I don't know what his position is now, just call him the royal brother or directly Zhu Hongfeng, because he has not been crowned the prince - said: "Yes, go in and have fun." ”

The tenth prince, Zhu Hongsi, stood up: "Big brother, have you forgotten the national ban on entertainment?" Xi'an County has been sealed. ”

Zhu Honghua: "Well, really? ”

Jin Yuguang: "Banning entertainment is an attitude, a wish, not a scene. Presumably, the emperor and the subjects of the world were not happy to see His Majesty's hard work and sadness. Just imagine, if Your Majesty keeps filial piety for three years like in ancient times, the city and town also boycott the market for three years, and the imperial examination for three years, then how can it be the most important thing to be the common people in the world? ”

The Emperor nodded: "Well, I think so too. ”

Zhu Hongsi continued: "What will people in the world think when they see His Majesty going to Xi'an County to have fun? ”

Before the emperor could speak, Jin Yuguang said: "The ban on entertainment is just etiquette. "Tao Te Ching" says, lost morality and then virtue, loss of virtue and then benevolence, loss of benevolence and then righteousness, loss of righteousness and then courtesy. Your Majesty does not shy away from small gifts, it is for the sake of the avenue! Besides, it is impossible to ban entertainment, otherwise what will the people eat? ”

Zhu Hongsi: "If the ban is out, it must be enforced!" ”

Jin Yuguang: "So Your Majesty is going to Xi'an County to see how the implementation is." ”

Zhu Hongsi was about to say, but the emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alas, little brother, what are you doing with such ink, it's okay to accompany me and my eldest brother to take a look." ”

Zhu Hongsi shook his head and took a step back: "No, you can go." ”

He turned around and got into the car and left.

The emperor laughed and said, "He has so many wives at home, of course he won't go." ”

The rest of the people laughed.

So the emperor went to Xi'an County with a large number of imperial troops.

After the emperor left, the people sighed, as if to say, "This emperor can't do it!" ”

Nothing to do with me, I went back to the palace with the army.

This is the funeral of the former emperor.
