Chapter 58: The Funeral
Xinjun's plan has already revealed the tip of the iceberg, and his will to complete the entire plan is also frankly displayed in front of the few people in the know.
Under his strong suppression, Jiang Yashuang only used the excuse of resting in the middle of the night and went to the East Palace to see the crown princess - according to his expression after he returned, this should be the last one.
Since then, Jiang Yashuang has been guarding the spirit of Emperor Daxing, and he can't keep himself restless, and the new monarch is very dissatisfied with his previous attempt to dismantle the stage.
For the sake of the crown princess, he let him go to the East Palace once.
After that, he clearly sent someone to keep an eye on him, and he followed him wherever he went, making it clear that he would not be given any chance to make trouble. Even Qiu Yulan was affected and completely cut off contact with the outside of the palace.
In the eyes of most people who don't know what's going on, of course, this is because the new monarch is determined to support King Huijun to come to power, so in order to prevent Jiang Yashuang from making trouble during the national funeral, he will strictly guard against it and take all possible measures!
The mood of the Huijun King Party is really happy!
They are happy, and the Chongjun Wang Party is crazy - but they simply don't have enough force to threaten the new monarch, and the leader is still detained in the palace and can't get out at all, no matter how crazy they are, there is nothing they can do!
In such turbulent days, the wake finally ended, and the new monarch led the members of the royal family and the Manchu Dynasty to bury the coffin of Emperor Zi of Daxing.
At this time, it is important to pay attention to thick burials.
Basically, people who are a little older have to start building mausoleums for themselves.
Before Emperor Zhaode ascended the throne, he picked a piece of feng shui treasure land for himself in his hometown Kui County.
However, at that time, he was only the Duke of the Kingdom, and after ascending the throne, his identity was different, and the tombs built in accordance with the standards of the Princes in the past were of course not suitable for continued use - fortunately, otherwise the funeral procession would have to accommodate the speed of the coffin, which would have been slow, and if it was really buried in Kui County, it would not have been a year and a half to go back and forth.
The entire royal family and the Manchu Dynasty patronized the burial of the emperor this year, so how can it be done?
Now this hastily built imperial mausoleum, which has not yet been completed, is actually not very close, according to the itinerary of the funeral procession, it will take at least two or three months to go back and forth plus the burial ceremony.
The funeral coincided with the autumn rain, although it was all official roads, but it was also very difficult to walk, so this time is estimated to be directly running for three months.
In the bumpy palace car, Qiu Yulan persuaded the two young sons not to lift the curtain and look out, so as not to invade the car, while looking at the capital that gradually disappeared behind the team and sighed: "I don't know what this capital will be like when I come back?" ”
Her father-in-law obviously planned to close the net at the time of the funeral - Qiu Yulan judged it because the "crown princess" was in better health and could barely get up, so she insisted on sending her father-in-law on her last journey!
Counting the time, the real crown princess should have passed away.
Now this is just a repetition of the scene last time when the "King Lu" went to Lu Di with the Empress Dowager Rui.
"Now that I think about it, my father-in-law said to the public that my mother-in-law's injury was hit by a rockery, and it seems that I had a plan!" Thinking of the figure who was supported by the new monarch to stand firm when he set off - his figure was indeed very similar to the crown princess, his face was veiled, and the traces of bandaging under the veil were revealed when the wind blew, which was an explanation for why he covered his face.
Donggong has always only said that the crown princess was injured, as for where and what kind of trauma, it is more ambiguous.
Now there are many people who think: "It turns out that the crown princess hurt her face?" No one dared to say anything before the strange way. ”
"Although Your Majesty is about to hug her great-grandson, her royal body is still healthy, and the crown princess is already old and decrepit, and now she is still injured like this...... The three county kings are all old, especially the king of Huijun, I am afraid that he will have to move into the East Palace when he returns to Beijing! I don't dare to have other thoughts, but if I can have a son and a half daughter, I will be a golden branch and a jade leaf after all, a phoenix and a dragon grandson! And fortunately, there is a big age gap with the brothers and sisters above, and they can't threaten anyone, so they can enjoy wealth with peace of mind, and they can also give their families a dip! Of course, there are many people who think like this.
These discussions were mixed in the long line, and occasionally a word came to Qiu Yulan's side, and she listened quietly and said nothing.
This reaction made Hibiscus and the others feel a little uneasy, and gradually stopped caring.
After the ears are cleaned, the journey becomes very boring.
Fortunately, a group of children are in front of them, and just coaxing them to serve them every day is enough to pass the time.
When the team finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum, looking at the mausoleum that had obviously not been completed fifty percent of the progress, Qiu Yulan was quite speechless: "How can you bury the emperor's grandfather like this?" "On the bare mountain, there are traces of unfinished work everywhere, okay?
This can't be blamed on the Ministry of Rites for not being dedicated enough, after all, Emperor Zhaode has only been on the throne for a few years? The imperial mausoleum is not a trivial matter, especially Emperor Zhaode, as the founding monarch of Great Qin, his imperial mausoleum will affect the entire Great Qin in the eyes of people at this time. It took a year just to pick a place - this is already a symbol of the great Qin's blessings, after all, it is not surprising for ordinary people to spend more than ten years choosing a cemetery, let alone the royal family?
Who doesn't want to give future generations a good place to pass on to future generations?
But is it easy to find such a good place?
After finding it, we will start construction, and with the transportation conditions and construction standards at this time, it is good to be able to repair it to this point - this year is only the third year of Zhaode!
"The main burial chamber has been built in a hurry." Jiang Yashuang was not surprised by the scene in front of him, as Emperor Zhaode's favorite grandson, when this place was chosen, he also came to see it once on behalf of Emperor Zhaode, of course, he understood that the current progress was the result of his uncle Zhuang Mo's hard work.
"Just bury it like that?"
"That's all there is to it!" Jiang Yashuang said lightly, "You can't wait here to build it, right?" ”
That's going to have to wait until what year and month!
Since the venue is not powerful, no matter how much effort is put into this burial ceremony, of course, it will not be too brilliant.
After finishing the ceremony easily, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return to Beijing - at this time, there was an urgent report from the capital that the remnants of Qianrui were entangled in some forbidden troops!
The officials who accompanied the funeral were in an uproar!
In particular, the guards who sent the letter said that there were a lot of rebels, and that when he broke out on the orders of his superiors, the outer gate of the palace had already been breached-the situation was so critical, and the emperor of Daxing had already been buried!! ”
For the new monarch to return to Beijing to suppress the rebellion, the civil and military officials are actually very confident, no matter how to say that they are the masters of the general of Zhenbei for decades, and the Beihu who is a soldier in the whole people has been killed by him like something, just a rebellion in Beijing, it would be a joke to say that the new monarch can't put it down!
However, confidence is confidence, Xinjun is no longer the general of Zhenbei now, but the supreme of the Ninth Five. When the courtiers heard that he was going to settle the matter in person, they must have to persuade him: "Your Majesty's body, how can a mere thief be worthy of Your Majesty's presence?" All the ministers in the court have those who can share the worries of His Majesty! ”
The civil officials said that they considered that the emperor had to have the emperor's shelf, and he couldn't just go to the field in person at every turn just because he could fight, and lose more value?
The generals are going to the last sentence of Chiguoguo - such a ready-made opportunity to show their faces, let it go, it will be thundered!
Although it is said that Qianrui Yu has gathered a lot of Janissary rebellions, because the new monarch brought hundreds of officials and many dependents to the funeral of Emperor Daxing, the accompanying troops are of course not expensive, and now the total number of troops on the Jingshi side is only how much?
And those who can be brought out are elites, and in the eyes of everyone on the emperor's side of the tomb, this battle is completely because some people in Qianrui are tired of jumping out and giving them credit!
Naturally, everyone is vying to be the first.
"It's useless to fight!" In the temporarily built palace at the foot of the emperor's mausoleum, Qiu Yulan listened to the noise coming from the main hall, and thought in a complicated mood, "The person in charge of counterinsurgency this time must be nineteen!" ”
Xinjun has suppressed the Chongjun Wang lineage for several years in order to dig a pit, and now almost everyone who should jump into the pit has jumped in, he is ready to fill in the soil, of course, he has to lift up the real heir!
What kind of rebellion is this, Qiu Yulan estimates that ten out of ten is caused by Xinjun himself!
The purpose is to let Jiang Yashuang show his face, so as to prepare for his next announcement of his intended heir.
"Even if the remnants of Qianrui rebelled against the entire Jingshi's forces, it would be impossible for them to succeed in the rebellion!"
"Anyone who knows a little bit about this can deduce this."
"Then why are they rebelling?"
"Of course, there is a purpose, even if it is a dead man, it is impossible to send it to death in vain."
"For example, the rebellion in Beijing is actually just a cover to attract attention, and the real intention of the remnants of Qianrui is actually Xinjun - taking advantage of the nineteenth army to return to Beijing to quell the rebellion, they call the chess pieces of Xinjun's left near to assassinate Xinjun!"
"It's a pity that the new monarch is deeply blessed, and the crown princess is eager to protect her husband, and she is a substitute for herself, but unfortunately the fragrance and jade have fallen......"
"Everyone knows that Xinjun has always respected the crown princess, otherwise he would not have been managed by her for so many years - who would believe that Xinjun would sacrifice the crown princess to play a bitter trick? After all, at Xinjun's age, even if he has a son, he may not be able to see him grow up with his own eyes, and among the three sons now, the two sons-in-law are all born to the crown princess! For his son, no one believed that the new monarch would let go of the crown princess! ”
"It's like even Emperor Zhaode and King Lao Ji didn't think about the reason why King Huijun was deserted, and it was not King Dun who contributed the most, but Xinjun himself!"
"In order to save the death of Xinjun, Xinjun has a loving wife, no matter how much Xinjun has an attack, some people should be!"
"It's time for this play to come to an end...... Also, it's been a few years, and the people who have been kept in the dark may not know, but even the chief director Xinjun himself, I'm afraid he should be tired, right? ”
Qiu Yulan looked up at the moon in the air, smiled bitterly, threw the half-pulled rose in his hand into the lotus pond not far away, and turned around to go back to the house - Xinjun's arrangement is eight out of ten. Nine is like this, many people and things have been sacrificed in this process, and it can be said that it is the Qingping that opens up the future of Great Qin with blood, tears and white bones.
The biggest beneficiary is not necessarily Xinjun himself, but his successor Jiang Yashuang.
Husband and wife are one, and Jiang Yashuang's interests are also equal to her interests.
But she couldn't be happy at all - how could she not bear the guilt together while enjoying the benefits?
She now understands that her husband found out the truth but concealed his painstaking efforts, not only for her to confess in front of her in-laws, but also for her not to be tortured by guilt, right?
"After returning to Beijing, find a reason to take Bao'er over and raise it with Ying'er in the future!" Qiu Yulan entered the house, and saw her daughter who was chasing her younger brother all over the room, and thought abruptly, "There are also Huan'er, Gui'er......"
Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled to herself, "Sure enough, Yiyu can die-when did I get so high?" ”
Recalling the ruthless decisions he made against the Lu clan and the Yang clan in the past, it seemed like a few lifetimes ago.
If you can calculate the time, it is only a little over ten years so far.
The years are gentle to cruel - unconsciously, just a negligence, turning around is already a change of people.
