Chapter 133: Unswerving
Today, the emperor ordered the posthumous king of the town, the prince of Zhenguo, and the lords and sons of the Baifu to go out for funeral today, and they need to bury people before the sun rises.
At the end of the Yin period, all the people in the White Mansion gathered in the front hall.
When Mama Qin helped the red-eyed Dong into the mourning hall, several ladies and children had already arrived.
"Fifth brother and sister, it's hard to walk on the snowy road today, and you are heavy, so don't go." Dong looked at the fifth lady Qi with a towering belly.
Qi gently held his abdomen and choked up: "Me and the child...... I have to send the heroes of the Bai family on their last journey! ”
Subsequently, the eldest princess, dressed in white and holding a tiger head stick, also came with Mama Jiang's hand.
"Mother's ......"
"Grandmother ......"
All the people bowed.
"Mother, you're going too?" Dong asked.
The eldest princess nodded, her eyes fell on Bai Qingyan, but she saw Bai Qingyan hanging her head, not looking at her, nor stepping forward to support her like she did on weekdays, the sadness in her heart was irrepressible, she said: "Send me the last journey of the Bai family's boy, I can hold it!" ”
Dong sighed and cheered up, "Steward Hao, open the door!" ”
"Open the door ......"
Steward Hao roared, accompanied by the creak of the wooden door, hung with white lights, and the six vermilion lacquer doors of the magnificent Zhenguo Mansion opened together.
But Dong never thought that outside the Zhenguo Mansion, ...... There were so many people with lanterns!
There are also young or old officials of the noble family, who stand quietly in the snow, in front of the black and gold door of the town's mansion.
No one told them the time of the funeral in the Zhenguo Mansion, and they came here early to wait...... I want to send this loyal martyr.
Dong saw his younger brother Dong Qingyue dressed in military uniform, standing at the forefront with several military generals in the court, wearing filial piety cloth and carrying lanterns, and his posture was tall and handsome.
This made Dong Shi think of the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the people accompanied the Bai family to wait for news here, and thought of the people of the city carrying lanterns and snow on the fifth day of the first month, and welcoming the Bai family hero home at the south gate with the Bai family.
Dong's heart was surging with emotion, and the tears finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Last night, Dong Qingyue didn't sleep all night, shuttling through the homes of the generals in the court, and asked the generals to come with him to carry the coffin and send the town king Bai Weiting for a ride.
Seeing that the door of the mansion opened, Dong Qingyue, who was holding a bright lantern in his hand, put down the sheepskin lantern and knelt on one knee in the marching salute: "The last general, Dong Qingyue, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals!" The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
Shi Panshan, the military general standing beside Dong Qingyue, knelt down with red eyes and fists: "The last general, Shi Panshan, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals!" The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
"The last general, Jiang Ruhai, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals! The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
"The last general, Zhen Zeping, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals! The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
"The last general, Zhang Duanrui, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals! The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
The military generals who came quickly jumped off their horses, knelt behind them, and shouted: "The last general, Liu Hong, send off the king of the town, the prince of the town and the young generals!" The soul of the Bai family army is immortal! ”
The second lady Liu looked at the generals standing outside the door in the goose feather snow, kneeling down one by one to send off the heroic spirit of the Bai family, and finally couldn't hold back her voice, and the whole person leaned softly in Bai Jinxiu's arms, beating her chest and crying bitterly, for her dead husband and her deceased son!
The third lady, Li, cried uncontrollably.
On the contrary, it was the fourth lady Wang, who was grief-stricken on the day the seventeenth son of the Bai family came back and wanted to crash into the coffin and die, she stood quietly in a corner, her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, her eyes had already lost their brilliance, like a puppet who did not know joy and sorrow.
The fifth lady Qi turned around, biting her lip tightly, and didn't dare to let go when she tasted the smell of blood, for fear that she would not be able to restrain her wailing.
The people standing at the door all knelt on the ground and cried, wailing and screaming to the heavens, shouting for the king of the town and the prince of the town...... The young generals who shouted that the Bai family was full of good years, but died to protect the people.
Steward Hao wiped away his tears with his sleeve, restrained his crying, and sang: "Kneel ......"
The people on the long street had already knelt and wept silently, and the Bai family also knelt down slowly.
"Say goodbye to ......"
Bai Qingyan bowed with tears and bowed...... She swore to the Ying Ling of the Bai family that she would sacrifice her life to protect the widow of the Bai family.
"Goodbye......"
She bowed twice with tears and bowed twice...... She swore to heaven and earth that she would make the blood debts of those who owed the Bai family repay, and she would not be a person if she did not swear this revenge!
"Three Worships ......"
She knocked her head to the ground and bowed three times...... She swore to her grandfather that in this life she would inherit her grandfather's ambition and do her best to protect the people and restore peace to the world.
"Reciting the sacrificial text, the life of the Ming princes ......"
Xiao Rongyan stood behind everyone in a fox fur, staring silently, like a person outside the party who couldn't get close to him in the goose feathers and heavy snow.
The emperor of the Great Jin did not understand...... In the past hundred years, the Jiangmen Town Guogong Mansion has been crowned with high merit, but this Guogong Mansion is really the backbone of the Great Jin!
The Bai family fell ......
It is to remove the shoes of the Great Jin Kingdom and remove the armor of the Great Jin Kingdom.
In the troubled times, the countries are vying for power, each fighting for its own war, Xiao Rongyan dares to assert that once the generals of the Bai family die, the Jin Kingdom, which dominates one side, will definitely have no chance to win the world.
Looking from afar, he saw Bai Qingyan get up and subconsciously took a step forward.
I only heard the woman's voice clear and sonorous, calm as warm water, not as deafening as she opened her mouth several times in front of people, and the lingering admiration hidden in it touched people's hearts.
The eldest princess looked at the people who shook the world with their cries outside the door, and looked at the generals who came in military uniforms to send off the heroes of the Zhenguo Mansion, and suddenly remembered when her father died. And the people wept at that time...... The officials also cried, but they didn't cry as sincerely.
Her hand holding the Buddha beads tightly tightened and loosened, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart.
Bai Jia...... More popular than the royal family!
It was obviously a very simple funeral, and no one was notified of the time of burial, but the military generals of the court, the relatives and nobles of the capital and the most ordinary people, they all came, although the momentum was not as huge as when her father was at the funeral, but it was more tear-jerking and more touching than that.
She suddenly remembered that a few hours ago, in this mourning hall...... Her granddaughter said that the dignity of the Bai family is not in the bloodline, in the integrity, in the brave heart of life and death for the people, and in the loyalty and courage of sacrificing oneself to protect the people!
Therefore, the people really remember the Bai family and read the Bai family......
The foundation of the Bai family lies in the four words of serving the people and loyalty.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and remembered her husband Bai Weiting's words...... Unswerving.
The sound of her granddaughter reciting the prayer rang in her ears.
"I asked my grandfather, why is it unswerving? My grandfather replied, "I wish ...... Return the people to peace, build peace in the world, unswervingly, until death. ”
