Chapter 54 Nostalgia under the Qianling

On the second day of the eleventh month of the third year of Yifeng, the weather was already very cold, and Liu Xianli's body was finally buried after fifteen days of being laid in the mansion.

Before Liu Xianli's funeral, Emperor Li Zhi announced the resignation of the dynasty to commemorate the funeral of Liu Xianli, and the funeral should be paid by the treasury, and the sword was given to the class, and the feather treasure and advocacy were given.

When the funeral was said, the crowd who came to Liu Fuzhong to see off Liu Xianli lined up for several miles, almost all the high-ranking officials in the court came, and the Chinese book ordered Hao Chujun and the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Dai Zhide presided over the funeral on behalf of the imperial court, and read out the inscription written by Emperor Li Zhi before the funeral. In his memorial speech, Li Zhi greatly praised Liu Xianli's loyalty and bravery, and asked the hundred officials, especially the military generals, to take Liu Xianli as an example, and at all times, they must be loyal to the country and bravely kill the enemy.

After a memorial ceremony, Liu Xianli's coffin was officially funeral, in front of the funeral queue, there were Jin Wuwei's sergeants to open the way, countless cars, waiting to go outside the Mingde Gate, and held a ceremony to comfort heaven and earth.

The funeral officials were ordered to come to the funeral, but the funeral officials did not send Liu Xianli's coffin to the cemetery, but only sent it out of Chang'an City, and after the ceremony outside the city was completed, these officials also removed their filial piety clothes and turned back.

After setting off from Chang'an City, only Liu's family, relatives and friends were among the funeral crowd, as well as some of Liu Xianli's acquaintances and colleagues, Wei Xuantong, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Xiaojie, the deputy general of Liu Xianli, who was released, all sent Liu Xianli's coffin to the cemetery before returning to Chang'an.

Starting from Chang'an, it is nearly two hundred miles to Liangshan, where the cemetery is located. The car was slow and the distance was too long, and the funeral crowd walked for nearly three days before arriving.

On the way to rest in the evening, the three brothers of Liu Yi knelt down in front of Liu Zhenli's coffin all night to keep a vigil for their father. Liu Mai knelt in front of the coffin closest to him, and kept chattering to his father who was lying inside about what happened during this time, comforting his father, saying that his father was wronged and received a high-level posthumous gift from the imperial court, all of which was the result of the efforts of the third brother Liu Yi, and also reassured his father that the three brothers would work together to revive the family.

Perhaps it was the imperial court's decree to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Liu Xianli has been transmitted to various places, and the people know that along the way to the funeral, some people also spontaneously went to Liu Xianli's coffin to bow down and put on a pillar of incense to show respect, which made Liu Yi also very pleased.

Liu Xianli's mausoleum is located more than 170 miles away from Chang'an City, Haoqi County, that is, the territory of Qianxian in later generations, and Li Zhi's future Qianling Tomb is about ten miles southeast of Liangshan.

Although it is said that the emperor Li Zhi and the empress are alive for two days, the Qianling Tomb has not been built, and there is only one name, but the area of the Qianling Mausoleum has been listed as a royal forbidden place, and ordinary people can no longer produce and live here, which also makes this place seem very desolate, and there are almost no people to see.

―――――――

After the construction of Liu Xianli's tomb was completed, most of the mourners returned to Chang'an, and Liu Mai, Liu Yuan, and Liu Yi, the three brothers Liu Xianli, lived next to the tomb, dressed in filial piety, and guarded the tomb for their father.

Because Liu Xianli died in battle a few months ago, the 7749 days after the burial have passed, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, and it has to be made up, so it is also on the forty-ninth day after Liu Xianli's burial that the heavy filial piety on the three brothers can be removed.

The three brothers got up early every morning, first cleaned up the area around Liu Xianli's tomb, cleaned up some of the soil that rolled down, replaced it with offerings of incense and candles, and then quietly knelt in front of the tomb, lowered their heads, and bowed to Liu Xianli.

Because there were also a few snowfalls during the heavy filial piety period, the three brothers also had to remove the snow and ice from their father's grave.

These 49 days of filial piety ceremony were very hard.

After paying homage to his father's tomb every day, Liu Yi often stared at Liangshan Mountain and the surrounding scenery in the distance.

He also came to this place in his later life, that is, when he went to Xi'an to play during that vacation, he came to visit the Qianling Tomb, the mausoleum where the two emperors were buried---.

The topography of Liangshan is a little similar to that seen in later generations, the location of the three three peaks has not changed, but there are not as many buildings as in later generations, and there are not as many farmlands and villages under the mountain as in later generations, nor so many apple trees, and it is impossible for people to cultivate and live in the royal forbidden land.

On that trip, Liu Yi first went to the tomb of Princess Yongtai where the Qianling Museum is located, and after seeing the princess's underground palace that was killed by Wu Zetian's staff, he went to the tomb of Li Xian, the prince of Zhanghuai, thinking that these people who were originally Wu Zetian's descendants were really pitiful, and they died so miserably.

Those who went to Qianling again, also went up to the Liangshan ridge where Qianling is located, and glanced at the entrance of the Qianling underground palace that was said to have been accidentally blown out by a few peasants who fired cannons and blew up stones, and was still in Yaya at that time, and now the Qianling underground palace has entered the palace and already knows that if he has tens of thousands of horses in the hands of those who wanted to dig up the Qianling people in ancient times, he will definitely be able to dig up the Qianling, and the treasures in it can be enough to squander dozens of lives.

The changes in the world are really impermanent, Liu Yi never thought that now he is standing at the foot of Liangshan, where Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are not buried, but he is guarding the tomb of his father, Liu Yi once again can't figure out what is going on, and can only sigh that there are too many things in the dark, and such things cannot be explained by the so-called "science".

When Liu Yi was caressing the inscription written by Li Zhi and written by Pei Xingjian, he was also thinking, I don't know if Liu Xianli was buried in the original history, and if he was buried in Qianling, he would also be in this position, and he also regretted that he didn't do his homework well when he went to Qianling in later generations, and learned about the relevant situation.

What a miraculous thing it would be if you could have the foresight and pay homage to this father in your "previous life".

It's just that all this can only be imagined, and cannot be made up.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Yi has the idea of trying to integrate into this era and influence the course of history, just let everything change because of his arrival, Liu Yi has already thought about how to do it.

Seven seven forty-nine days later, after the end of the fasting festival, the three brothers also took off a heavy filial piety clothes, they also had to go back to the house, perform some rituals, comfort the family, and then come back to guard the spirit.

It was already the middle of December, the weather was very cold, and the three brothers Liu Yi left some family members to take care of the tomb, and they also hurried back to Chang'an...;
