The night was vast, the mourning was bursting, King Lu knelt in front of the coffin and cried with grief, Princess Lu and others covered their mouths with a handkerchief, crying very reservedly. The mourning stopped, the crying stopped, King Lu put incense on the concubine, and walked out, Princess Lu looked up, and then lowered her head and continued to put paper money in the brazier. King Lu would leave for a period of time every night after the sacrifice.

King Lu went out of the mourning hall, went to the study to wash his face, and changed into a bright yellow dress embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. King Lu moved the mechanism in the study, and the bookshelf slowly moved to the left and right, revealing a small door, and King Lu took the candlestick and walked in.

In the secret passage, after walking for a cup of tea, King Lu arrived at a secret room, and there were already several people sitting in the secret room, two of them were his staff, and the rest were depressed four or five officials in the court. ”

"Flat." King Lu helped, "All the secretaries don't have to be polite, they all sit down and talk." "Before he succeeded in seizing the throne, King Lu was already proud to consider himself the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the personnel have been arranged, just wait for Your Majesty's order, the soldiers can rush into the palace, arrest the deposed emperor, and let him write the edict of Zen." A burly man said.

"Everything is up to you, it's done, the ministers are my founding fathers, and I will share this splendid country with you." King Lu is high-spirited and authentic. These days, King Lu has seen the ministers he has attracted one after another, and these few people he saw tonight are the most important generals, and they are the main force to attack the palace on the day of the funeral.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Everyone said excitedly. Who doesn't want to be a marquis and worship a general, a very popular minister, but after half his life, his hair is about to turn white, and he is only a fourth- or fifth-grade official, and there is no hope of promotion. Seeking wealth and danger, gritting his teeth, stomping his feet, in order to support King Lu's rebellion, anyway, it is the Tang family's country, and anyone can sit on it.

King Lu promised a bunch of things again, and he must make these people more loyal to him, and the day after tomorrow is the last moment, and he will not be defeated if he wins.

A quarter of an hour later, King Lu returned from the same way, and after returning to the study, he changed out of the dragon robe, put on the filial piety suit, put the dragon robe back in the Migli, and said to himself: "I will wear you openly in the future." ”

King Lu went out of the study and went to the mourning hall. Princess Lu in the mourning hall maintained the posture he had left in the same way as before, still burning the paper money. King Lu swept his eyes and found that Concubine Kang and his three sons were not in the mourning hall, "It's late at night, let's go back to the room to rest." ”

Princess Lu stood up slowly, and with the support of the maidservant, she and another side concubine left the mourning hall, and the concubine was not qualified to come to the mourning hall to mourn.

One night passed, and the next day was the day before the funeral. You Shizheng, there will be a send-off ceremony, Fu Zhixing and Yan Hao are Shen Shizheng came over, Zou Shizi, Yan Rong, Zhang Weide, Jiang Shi, Zhao Yanqing and Yan Ying and others have already arrived, everyone first went to the spirit to put incense on Concubine Shu, burned a few pieces of paper money, and then sat and chatted.

At this time, a servant girl came to pour tea with a pot, and accidentally poured too much, and the tea overflowed from the cup, wetting Yan Hagi's sleeves; Yan Rong's face sank, "What's the matter?" ”

"Madam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the slave didn't mean it." The maidservant hurriedly wiped the tea on the table with a handkerchief.

Yan Hagi chuckled, not intentionally, but intentionally, but she responded to all changes with the same attitude, to the point that it depends on the person who designed it. "Wipe the water dry, and go down."

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." The maidservant quickly left with the teapot.

After a while, Princess Lu came, "Xiaoxiao, the subordinates have rudely wet your clothes, I have newly made clothes there, go and change them." ”

"No, it's a little wet, you don't need to change it, it's hot, and it's dry in a while." Yan Hao refused, King Lu was about to make a move, so she didn't want to have too much contact with Princess Lu.

"Xiaoxiao, I didn't take care of my subordinates and wet your clothes, you should be angry, I apologize to you." Princess Lu owes herself.

Seeing that Princess Lu put her posture so low, so that Yan Rong and the others didn't know what to say, Yan Hao also saw Princess Lu's intentions, got up and said: "You don't have to change your clothes, I'll go burn the paper money, and just dry this with fire." ”

Princess Lu successfully separated Yan Hagi from Yan Rong and others, and she could talk to her, "Xiaoxiao, you help me, King Lu wants to rebel, I don't want to, please tell Lord Fu and the prince, my mother and I are not of the same mind as King Lu." ”

The last time Princess Lu told her that the palace was quiet, Yan Hao knew that Princess Lu and King Lu were not fellow travelers, "I will tell you." ”

"The prince invited six groups of monks into the mansion, but only the first batch of monks of these six groups of monks are doing things in the mourning hall, and the other five groups of monks are hidden in the courtyard of the mansion. Princess Lu continued.

"Thank you for informing me." Yan Hagi said softly.

Princess Lu passed the news to Yan Hao, and she was also relieved, she was not afraid of death, she was afraid that King Lu would not die.

At the beginning of the unitary period, after everyone had dinner, they began to hold a send-off ceremony, which was preceded by a flag gong umbrella fan and an official title board of the deceased, followed by a drummer and a middle-aged monk to guide the guests forward, followed by relatives with foreign surnames, immediate relatives of the clan, and finally the filial son of King Lu was supported by two subordinates, holding a paper tablet in his hand, and walked to an open place to burn.

Then the monk blows and recites the mantra of the past life, and after the completion of the ceremony, the king of Lu thanked the guest and sent the guest away. Relatives and clan relatives with foreign surnames should stay in the mourning hall and keep the spirit until dawn, which is a companion.

Companionship, commonly known as "sitting at night", is the wake of the deceased's relatives until dawn; Kyori regards the companion as the day of the funeral, and there is only the heart of entertainment, and there is no meaning of mourning.

After leaving King Lu's mansion, Yan Hagi told Fu Zhixing what Princess Lu told her, "After King Lu is defeated, can you plead with the saint and don't implicate Princess Lu?" ”

Fu Zhixing replied: "Princess Lu did not participate in the rebellion and will not be implicated." ”

The night passed, the day dawned, and a new day began.

"Xiaoxiao, put this on." Fu Zhixing handed a piece of soft armor to Yan Hao.

"Are you sure that King Lu will do something today?" Yan Hagi took the soft armor.

"Today is his last chance, and if he doesn't do it, he won't have a chance." Fu Zhixing said indifferently. Tomorrow morning, the Holy One will ask him for his sin.

"Are you wearing one?" Yan Hagi asked as he put on soft armor.

"Worn it." Fu Zhixing helped Yan Hagi tie the belt.

Yan Hagi put on his coat, on a hot day, wearing close-fitting soft armor, it was like wearing a cotton jacket, it was so hot, he couldn't help but say to the harmful King Jinglu, "People, it's not good to be too ambitious, you should be peaceful and content." There are thousands of mansions, and you can sleep one foot at night; Ten thousand acres of fertile land, three meals a day. ”

"King Lu's head is to look tall." Fu Zhixing took Yan Hao's hand, and they should go out after breakfast.

Yan Hagi chuckled, "You're wrong, King Lu's long head doesn't show any height." "King Lu's height is about one meter six or six or seven by eye, and he is a head shorter than the chubby King Gong.

It's okay to laugh at home, and when they go out, both of them laugh solemnly, Fu Zhixing helped Yan Hagi get into the carriage before turning over and getting on the horse. An Guogong and Han have found a good reason not to go to the funeral.
