Chapter 68: The Tomb of the Sun King I

Most of the heroines in the harem can't see their future anymore, and their hearts are gone, so they don't take the emperor lying on the hospital bed seriously, and they are busy with their own interests every day, and they don't go to the palace of Concubine E to watch it.

Concubine E's heart wanted not to serve the emperor, but the emperor couldn't move for a while, so he could only wait quietly for him to die.

Time is flying, a half a month has passed, the life of a generation of Ming monarchs in the ancient kingdom of Loulan finally came to an end, died in the early morning of 92 BC, the harem heroines and important ministers gathered again in the palace courtyard of the concubine, kneeling on the ground, doing superficial crying.

Lan Qi'er's heart is really sorry for the emperor, her age is really not big, she is in the prime of life, and the country is the best time for strong development!

The emperor passed away first, and how the Loulan Ancient Congress will go in the future, I really can't think about it, in short, the country that has finally settled down may not be stable again.

There are sacrificial officials in the ancient country of Loulan, the first emperor died, and the throne was vacant for a while, but fortunately, the queen in the harem was alone, and there was Lan Qier above the court, and the two reached reconciliation and tolerance for a while, and under the guidance of the sacrificial officer, they each played a role.

The ancient country of Loulan is located in the desert Gobi, the temperature in summer is very high, the burial time of the first emperor dragon body cannot be delayed, the princes are in front of the protons, and it is impossible to come back to worship the father.

In the harem, according to the ancestral system, with the assistance of the sacrificial officials, the queen presided over all the preparations before the burial of the first emperor.

Of course, Lan Qi'er was not idle, listening to the arrangement of the priest above the court, all the matters that needed to be prepared before the burial began step by step, and Lan Qi'er also did it herself from time to time.

For a time, Loulan Gu can be said to have stopped all entertainment activities, a large number of white flags have been hung inside and outside the national shrine, the emperor's spirit card has been ready, and under the arrangement of the sacrificial officials, it has been erected in the ancestral hall.

The people in the ancient country of Loulan have faith and worship the sun god, and the sun god is the god of the ancient country.

Through the death of the first emperor, Lan Qier learned from the mouth of the sacrificial officer that the tomb of the monarch was built in the shape of the sun totem, which is the highest standard tomb, and the standard level of the whole race tomb is very strict, and the whole national tomb is divided into four types, the first is the sun coffin of the Son of Heaven, the sun tomb, the second is the seven-star coffin of the princes, the sun tomb, the third is the tomb of officials and nobles (including harem concubines), and the fourth is the coffin of the people, which is not a tomb.

Lan Qier and the officials under the guidance of the sacrificial officer, out of Loulan City, began to build the sun coffin of the Son of Heaven for the emperor, the sun tomb, this tomb is so grand, with the Praetorian Guard soldiers under the command of the sacrificial officer, in the southeast of the Peacock River began to excavate, not only Lan Qier saw it for the first time, experienced, all the ministers were also the first time, because the sacrificial officer was established with the development and strength of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, so there was the classification and development of the tomb, the appearance of the drawings.

The death of the first emperor can be said to be a time to verify the talent of the sacrificial officials, and all the ministers are also concerned about what the emperor's tomb looks like.

The prototype of the new residence of the first emperor has slowly appeared over time, and has appeared in the eyes of everyone, the tomb of the Son of Heaven is really peculiar, the middle of the tomb is a garden pit with a diameter of three meters, like a sun, someone began to hammer the log stake with a hammer around the dot, the round wooden stake is not the same thickness, outside the dot first surrounded by 81 fine wooden stakes, it is a circle surrounded by points and points, the first circle is completed, the special person began to measure the ruler, draw the dots, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard began to choose the stake again, Of course, the second circle of wooden piles is thicker, and 81 again, and so on to nail into the sand nine circles, after all this is completed, the work is not over, and there are a few craftsmen carrying dye barrels, and they began to draw yellow plant dye on the circular section of the round wooden pile, this yellow dye is irradiated by the sun, it will dry immediately, and it will begin to reflect, and people dare not look directly for a while, the preliminary completion of the coffin of the ninety-nine heavenly son is completed, of course, this is preliminary, and the whole process of the emperor's burial can only be tomorrow, The preliminary imperial tomb is already quite peculiar.

The Praetorian Guard naturally left a team of men and horses to protect the tomb, Lan Qi'er and the others returned to the city, because of the important matter, all the personnel returned to the court, and from time to time there were ministers in and out of the court, doing what the sacrificial officials ordered.

Lan Qi'er sat on her chair and looked at the dragon chair from time to time, the dragon chair was empty, the emperor was no longer there, and tears poured out of her eyelids.

The queen has already prepared all the items for tomorrow in the harem according to the instructions of the priest, and is waiting for the burial tomorrow, of course, she is thinking about the future.
