Chapter 1066: Why did the Queen Mother settle things
Chen Shubao on the left and right cases, the evening memorial ceremony.
After the morning ceremony, the emperor knelt down to send the spirit to set off from the south gate of the Ludian.
The place where the spirit drives, the minister of civil and military affairs within 100 miles kneels in advance to greet the right side of the road 100 steps away, waits for the spirit to drive, and then goes to the house, and kneels three times and knocks nine times outside the Yellow Man City.
At the end of the evening ceremony, the civil official is at the end of the blue flag, and the military attache is at the end of the blue flag.
When the spirit crosses the gate bridge, he should send two ministers to take turns to sacrifice wine and burn money.
Generally speaking, the average person walks at a speed of 30 kilometers a day.
But there were many people along the way, and the funeral procession alone was more than ten miles long.
In addition, from time to time, there are three knocks and nine bows, and there are car sedan delays.
Therefore, it is only possible to travel about 20 to 25 kilometers a day.
Finally, in the early morning five days later, all the staff arrived at the cemetery.
After arriving there, the funeral procession for dozens of miles knelt outside from the cemetery.
And the underground palace is in the middle of the cemetery.
A treasure city was built around the underground palace.
In front of it was built a square city.
There is a Ming Tower built on it.
There are two monuments in front of the underground palace.
It is densely packed with words written by the fourth master himself.
It is all written about the glorious deeds of the Holy Ancestor during his reign for decades.
Even in the case of condensement, more than 4,000 words were written.
The reason why there are two monuments is because one monument cannot write so many great achievements.
In addition, one piece is written in Chinese, and the other is written in Manchu.
He advocated the principle of employing people during the lifetime of the Holy Ancestor, "the Manchu and Han families".
Immediately afterwards, it was time for the fourth master to personally choose the name of the mausoleum for the Holy Ancestor.
I saw that the minister of the Ministry of Rites presented a few names that had been chosen in advance to the fourth master kneeling in front of the underground palace.
The fourth master took the list of mausoleum names presented and selected them attentively.
But he didn't take the pen from the minister.
After choosing a name, he did not hesitate to bite his middle finger and circle the two bright red characters of Jingling with blood.
The meaning of "Jing" is "tall" and "admirable".
And the use of blood to mention the name of the mausoleum, this situation is unprecedented among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
It is enough to show that the fourth master is filial piety and sincerity to this old father.
Seeing this, the funeral procession for dozens of miles began to howl and cry.
They didn't cry because of the fourth master's actions.
But because of this situation, everyone who is in the funeral procession will cry.
The harem concubines want to cry.
Princes and nobles, civil and military officials will cry.
Moreover, I have to cry a lot.
The more sad anyone cries, the more filial piety they are.
At this moment, the cry of the cemetery was higher and higher.
The crying of more than ten miles, walking in every place around, stained the cemetery with a layer of sadness.
Ruoyin, as the queen, is not far from the fourth master.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with an onion-dipped handkerchief, and whimpered loudly.
In the end, it's a queen, it's a woman, she still can't do it when she cries, it's a bit out of shape.
Ruoyin secretly raised his head and glanced at the fourth master kneeling in front of the underground palace.
I saw the man's broad body swaying slightly.
The hands that came out of the cuffs were tightly clenched into fists, as if trying to suppress their emotions.
He lifted his head and closed his eyes heavily.
Suddenly, in that tall and generous body, there was an earth-shattering scream.
The voice was deep and low, hoarse with grief.
It was like thunder rolling in the sky, thunderbolts, and it was heard far away in the sky above Jingling
The shock made everyone present dizzy, and it was difficult to distinguish things.
Then, one after another, a mournful cry came out of his body again, breaking through the sky.
At this moment, Ruoyin seemed to hear the sound of the whole world collapsing.
In the past, no matter what happened, it didn't matter if the sky fell or if you lost your son.
Even though his body was full of wounds, the fourth master never frowned.
It was as if she had never seen him shed a single tear.
This time, it was the first time in so many years that she had seen this man cry.
Just when Ruoyin had mixed feelings, he actually heard a disappointing voice behind him, "Cut, it's writing with blood again, and it's crying so loudly, who is making a show for." ”
You don't have to look back, Ruoyin knows that this is the voice of the Ninth Master.
Only him, just by listening to the voice, can know that this person is extremely sinister.
In the eyes of others, the fourth master is a bit of a play.
But only Ruoyin knew that this was the reluctance and heaviness of this man for his old father to be buried in the underground palace.
and thanks to the old father's trust before his death, and the complicated feelings of being willing to hand over the Qing Dynasty to him.
Moreover, if the father is lost, he will not weep or shed tears.
What is the difference between such a man and a cold-blooded animal?
Ruoyin didn't know how long she cried.
I only know that the fourth master, under the arrangement of the minister of etiquette, personally supported the coffin of the Holy Ancestor, sent it to the underground palace, and placed it on the treasure bed.
After everything was settled, the fourth master withdrew from the underground palace with a group of personnel and sealed the stone gate of the underground palace.
With a "boom", the stone door closed tightly under the attention of everyone.
Then, the fourth master and the civil and military officials "said goodbye" in front of the altar, and sent officials to worship the god of the mountain and the land.
In this way, the tedious funeral of the emperor finally came to an end.
When it was over, the group returned the way they came.
Since there is no need to bow and bow nine times, and halfway through, there are people looking for their own mothers and going back to their own homes.
In this way, the way back is less congested and faster.
In fact, it only took three days for everyone to return to the capital.
However, when I arrived on the outskirts of the capital, the sunny weather suddenly became cloudy.
The sky was bright and replaced by a heavy gray black.
Dark gray clouds squeezed the sky, heavy, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
It was so oppressive that the whole world was silent.
The indifferent wind shuttled violently, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings
Ruoyin lifted the curtain, and saw a dazzling lightning in the sky, which seemed to split the sky in half.
And, accompanied by a deafening thunder, it gives a terrifying feeling.
Just as she was about to lower the curtains.
From a distance, I saw the carriage of the fourth master turning at the intersection.
The man, he also happened to lift the curtain.
The eyes of the two people collided together as if they had an electrocardiogram.
Somehow, Ruoyin suddenly remembered what he said when he was in the Heart Cultivation Hall that day, he pillowed on her lap.
He said: When the Yong'an ceremony of the imperial examination is completed, I will compensate you well.
Thinking of this, Ruoyin smiled shyly at the man and lowered the curtain.
Immediately afterward, it began to pour rain in the sky outside.
Ruoyin, who was sitting in the carriage, faintly heard a loud noise outside.
Seemingly, there are also women's cries.
It's like something big has happened.
"Banmei, you go and ask and see what happened." Ruoyin commanded Banmei outside the car.
"Okay, the minion will ask." At the same time, the carriage stopped.
After a while, Banmei returned.
I saw her open the curtain and said nervously: "Niangniang, it's not good, the thirteenth master suddenly fainted." ”
