Chapter 100: After the Funeral

On the day of the funeral, hundreds of officials walked together.

The coffin came out of the Taiming Gate, and Ling Husu and the harem, as well as the ministers, followed him out on foot, crying all the way.

Outside the palace gate, Linghu Su and the ministers changed horses, and the harem took a sedan chair and went out of the city along the South Street.

Along the way, all the people knelt down and worshipped, and the cry shook the sky.

Chen Ze has merits and demerits and loves the people, so for this emperor, most of the people really love him.

The imperial tomb is in the southern suburbs, about 30 kilometers after leaving the city, and in this way, the huge procession cried and moved over, which was really sad to hear it.

Along the way, many people spontaneously issued memorial ceremonies, so that Hu Su would dismount to express his gratitude.

Muji led the monks of the Qingtian Temple to accompany them, and they would spend their souls in the imperial tomb and perform the ritual of requiem.

It was probably in the afternoon that the procession arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum.

After the coffin was parked in the mausoleum, Linghu Su and Su Liu led the hundred officials and the harem respectively to the dedication hall to pay respects.

Wuyin and the monks recited the requiem mantra, Ling Hu Su led everyone to kneel and worship four times, and then offered sacrifices, in the shouts of the sacrificers, worshiped and worshipped, and worshiped so that Hu Su's head swelled, like a soul flying out of the sky. There are countless things like what kind of congratulations, sacrificial wine, etc.

Su Liu and other concubines only need the initial etiquette, unlike Linghu Su, who repeatedly kneels and worships, especially the Chen clansmen of Linghu Su's generation, who have to kneel and bow from beginning to end.

After a series of messy etiquette, Hu Su felt like he was about to fall apart.

Finally, at dusk, all the rituals were completed, and Ling Husu was finally able to return to the capital.

After the imperial mausoleum, there is a special person responsible for completing it, so that Hu Su needs to return immediately.

It was already night when he returned to the capital, but it was not yet completed, and the old emperor's spiritual seat needed to be sent to the Ancestral Spirit Hall for offerings.

So, the hundred officials followed behind Ling Hu Su, the spirit seat in front of Ling Hu Su, step by step into the first spirit hall, in the meantime, under the command of the sacrificial personnel, everyone knelt three times and kowtowed, and then kept offering wine, reading the blessings, worshipping and worshipping, so that Hu Su was almost numb.

Isn't it a funeral!

When all the etiquette was completed, Linghu Su sent Su Liu back to the Tassel Palace, and he fell directly on Su Liu's bed and couldn't get up.

"When you're so old, do you still want to sleep with your mother?"

Linghu Su had to get up and leave sullenly.

Before dawn the next day, Ling Husu led the hundred officials to the Xianling Hall again, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

After doing all this, it was time to go to court, but Ling Husu directly gave an order that seemed ridiculous to many people.

"Everybody goes home and sleeps, and they don't get up until lunch."

"Your Majesty, this ......"

Without letting Wen Zhong finish speaking, Ling Hu Su ordered the eunuch to drive people away, and he himself came to Qianyuan Palace, looking at the pile of music on the table and his head hurt.

"This can't be done, it's too much, do you want to get a cabinet, or the military aircraft department or something, help me share the duties, you can't let me decide big and small things!"

Ling Hu Su sat in front of the desk and asked the accompanying eunuch Xiu Yun to help sort out the folds. Ruyun didn't follow, so Linghu Su let her continue to live in the princess's mansion, and when she ascended the throne, she and Cheng Jin would be married. Ruyun cried and cried to continue to serve him, Ling Hu Su was not allowed, he was serving the princess before, and now he is serving the emperor, his identity is different, and there will be more trouble.

"Sort out the folds of the third grade and above for me, and send the rest to the two prime ministers tomorrow, so that they can make their own decisions, unless there is something that cannot be decided."

"Yes!"

When he was hungry, a palace maid brought a meal, and Hu Su watched it while eating.

"Your Majesty, rest for a while! The slave maid was distressed. ”

Xiuyun used to be a little eunuch beside the old emperor, specially trained for the next emperor.

Ling Husu smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at me as a woman, I am in good health." ”

He was wearing plain clothes, and the imperial robe specially used to wear during the memorial service had not yet been prepared, after all, no one knew that it would be the princess who would be the emperor, and the ones prepared in advance would not be used.

Xu Yi was old, so Linghu Su asked him to retire in the palace and help train some masters.

In the afternoon, Wen Zhong and Fei Qing hurriedly entered the palace and knelt down when they entered the Qianyuan Palace.

Hu Su was shocked, and he was busy supporting the two old ministers.

"Wen Xiang, Fei Xiang, why bother with this big gift."

Wen Zhong said: "The ministers are guilty, sleeping at home by themselves, don't you know that Your Majesty is still working hard, so you hurried here." ”

Fei Qing also said: "Your Majesty is diligent, and we admire it." ”

Ling Hu Su smiled and gave a seat, and said, "The two of you are old, and you are too tired these days, so as not to burn your body." Have you had lunch? ”

Wen Zhong shook his head, and Fei Qing nodded and shook his head.

"If you haven't eaten, you haven't eaten, and I haven't eaten yet, Xiuyun, prepare a meal, and I want to have lunch with the two adults."

Actually, Linghu Su had already eaten it.

"Your Majesty, no need, let's deal with government affairs first."

"No, no, people are iron and rice are steel, how can you have strength if you don't eat."

The two old ministers wanted to see the excerpts, so Ling Hu Su didn't give it, and when Xiu Yun came to report that the meal was ready, Ling Hu Su led the two old ministers into the inner hall.

The meal was full of a table, it was very rich, Ling Hu Su frowned, and reprimanded Xiu Yun: "Next time, you don't have to be so extravagant and wasteful, we are only three people, four or five dishes are enough." Forget it this time, don't take it as an example. ”

Xiu Yun was good at observing words and feelings, and when he heard that Ling Husu's tone was just for show, he knelt down in a panic and promised to change his ways in the future.

"You two may be seated."

"No, no, the old minister doesn't have to sit, Your Majesty, please sit."

"How can you eat if you don't sit."

"Xiuyun, you help the two adults to sit down and eat, if they don't sit, you are a capital crime."

Xiu Yun and the eunuchs around him were shocked, and hurriedly approached to persuade Wen Zhong and Fei Qing.

The two of them were grateful, and after Ling Husu sat down, they also sat down.

"That's right! Just have a meal, don't really think of me as an emperor, besides, I haven't officially ascended the throne yet! Think about it before, when we were dealing with government affairs together, you were my teachers, and it was only natural for students to invite teachers to dinner. ”

Despite what Ling Husu said, the two of them still didn't move their chopsticks.

Linghu Su ate it by himself, and although he was not hungry, he still made a delicious appearance.

"I don't care about you anymore, I'm hungry, do you like to eat or not. Anyway, there are a lot of twists and turns today. ”

Wen Zhong and Fei Qing glanced at each other, nodded together, picked up the chopsticks, and ate slowly, in stark contrast to Ling Husu's gobbling up.

The eunuch next to him couldn't help laughing, so that Hu Su was not annoyed, and Xiu Yun scolded loudly.

"Xiuyun, it's nothing, laugh when you should laugh, cry when you should cry, there is no need to suppress your emotions. Hehe, my food looks a little ugly, but isn't it a time saver? It can not only fill the stomach but also save time, and no matter how ugly it is, it will be beautiful. ”

Wen Zhong praised: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

So, the two prime ministers also gobbled up, and it seemed that they were really hungry.

After eating, Ling Husu called for refreshments.

"Government affairs will not be dealt with for a while and a half, don't rush. Let me ask you two if you are tired, especially when your father is seriously ill. ”

"I'm not tired." The two of them spoke in unison.

"Don't talk to me, to be honest, whether you're tired or not."

The two old ministers roughly understood Ling Husu's temperament and temper, and then said: "It's really a little tired, after all, all big and small things are handled by us." ”

"Let's form a central body, then! If you think about the name or something, the role is to help me deal with political affairs, no, to help you. ”

Wen Zhong: "......"

Fei Qing: "......"
