Chapter 70: Rather is really a filial son
Just as Liu Rong and the others were resting in the small wine shop, the dust was flying and rumbling in the distance.
Everyone in the wine shop got up to watch, only to see a large group of people and horses going in the direction of Baling.
Wei Qing's eyes were the best, and he could see from the banner at a glance that this was King Liang's people.
It's interesting now, King Liang actually came.
Liu Rong looked at the men and horses of King Liang in the distance, with a playful expression on his face, and said: "Uncle's flag guard of honor is really magnificent, and it is not much better than my father's emperor of heaven." β
This sentence is a bit murderous, and if it spreads, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the world.
In fact, King Liang's approach was neither an encroachment on etiquette nor a violation of etiquette.
These banners of his Son of Heaven were all given to him by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Every time he travels, he rides out by thousands of rides, which is the specification of the Son of Heaven, and it was authorized to him by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
When Liu Rong's younger brothers had not yet been divided, the closest princes of the Han Dynasty were Liang and Dai.
Liu Shen, the prince of the Dai Kingdom, was the third brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and helped the Han guard the northern frontier.
Liu Wu, the prince of Liang, was the second brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and helped the Han to defend the princes of the East.
For these two princes and kings, Emperor Jing of Han almost responded to their needs, gave them sufficient materials, food, grass and armor, and completely regarded them as confidants.
The love of brotherhood is like brothers, the Huns and other princes are eyeing each other, and the three brothers must be warm together.
Now that the king Liu Shen has passed away, his son Liu Deng has succeeded to the throne, and the relationship is not as close as that of Liang Guo during the brotherhood period.
In addition, the princes were powerful, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty intended to use Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to help him resist the distant princes, so he rewarded the king of Liang very much, and even made an exception to give him the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.
It is said that King Liang did not transgress the etiquette system because these were given to him by the Son of Heaven; But there are some things, even if they are given to you by the Son of Heaven, you should not use them, so King Liang also transgressed the etiquette system.

"Let's go too." Liu Rong commanded.
These days, King Liang has been in Chang'an, and Liu Rong has been in contact with him several times, but he has never confronted him head-to-head.
Now, following this opportunity, he just wanted to meet this uncle for a while.
This person is not simple.
The horse galloped fast, and after a short time, he came to the tomb of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the construction of the imperial mausoleum was generally the responsibility of the general Shaofu, and the construction began at the place where the emperor ascended the throne, and it was not finally completed until a few years after the emperor's death.
The whole project is very huge, including the construction of the mausoleum palace, the sealing of soil, the cluster of burial pits, the construction of the cemetery, the burning of funeral maids, the manufacture of burial objects and so on.
The ancients paid attention to treating death as life, and the construction of the emperor's mausoleum was to build a palace for the emperor to use after his death, and the rules could not be lower than when he was alive.
It is said that every year, one-third of the world's wealth is consumed on the construction of the imperial tomb.
Liu Rong had come to Baling in his previous life, and at that time this imperial tomb was called the Jiangcun Tomb.
In later generations, after more than 2,000 years of hard work by official and private tomb robbers, this place has long been turned into barren grass, which makes him sigh very much.
Now, he personally witnessed the original version of the Baling Tomb, and saw that it was majestic, not losing the palace in Chang'an City, which made him feel extremely shocked.
This was still built under the condition of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's frugal burial, and the mausoleums of other emperors should be so luxurious.
Take all the ointment is the emperor's tomb.
γγγγγγ
Liu Rong and others galloped to the front and all dismounted to show their respect for Emperor Xiaowen.
He left everyone outside, and only brought Wei Qing into the room.
Similarly, the men and horses of King Liang were all waiting outside and did not enter.
Because Liu Rong came this time, mainly to check the scene of the tomb robbery, it was not a formal sacrifice, so everything was simple.
The two of them first walked along the long Shinto Road, which was flanked by various tomb beasts made of stone, as well as many stone figures.
After passing through several layers of stone gates and stone bridges, they came to the stele hall.
In this hall, there are stone tablets that record the great achievements of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Rong performed his first sacrifice here.
Further on, there is the Hall of Enjoyment, that is, the sacrificial hall dedicated to the god of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
The sacrifice here is more complicated: Liu Rong first offered sacrifices (sacrifices, drinks, etc.), burned incense and inserted it in the incense burner in the middle of the incense table, and knelt down to bow four times.
Then, Liu Rong got up, took the jade silk from the official who was in charge of guarding the temple and worshipping beside him, and respectfully placed it on the incense case; He took another wine jue, raised it above his head, poured the wine on the ground, and knelt down to bow four times.
Subsequently, Liu Rong got up and repeated this action three times, each time the thing on the incense table was different, called "three offerings", and the subsequent actions were the same, lifting the wine lord above his head, falling to the ground, kneeling and bowing four times.
After the three offerings, a petty official in charge of etiquette read a congratulatory text in a strange tone, and Liu Rong couldn't understand what he was saying, anyway, it was stinky and long.
After reading it, he burned the blessing, took a piece of meat from the sacrificial offering, and let Liu Rong eat it, and the sacrifice was over.
γγγγγγ
After passing through the Xiangdian, Liu Rong passed through several palaces one after another, but fortunately, the etiquette of each palace was very simple and did not take much time.
He walked all the way, and soon came to the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Han.
It is very close to the residence of Emperor Wen of Han.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, most tombs would have sealed soil, but the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Han was an exception, and there was no sealed soil.
Because he himself advocated thin burials, he specially ordered that luxury should not be allowed and no sealed soil should be set.
So what Liu Rong saw here was just some lush trees.
Under these trees, there are no fewer hidden buildings than the above-ground buildings that Liu Rong has seen before.
The underground palace, the outer pit, the attached burial tomb, the burial tomb, the sacrificial pit, etc., are all buried under the surface.
One of the most important locations is the resting place of Emperor Wen of Han.
He was wrapped in the burial utensils of the Son of Heaven such as the Zi Palace, the toilet room, the golden jade clothes, and the yellow intestine inscription, which were occasionally used by the princes and important ministers as rewards.
Before the Qin and Han dynasties, nobles generally only performed sacrifices in the temple, commonly known as temple sacrifices.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there has been a tradition of tomb sacrifices.
The Han Dynasty believed that "the tomb, the place where the ghosts and gods are, and the place of sacrifice", it is too appropriate to sacrifice here.
Liu Rong slowly came to the bank of the emperor's tomb.
When he arrived here, Liu Rong's heart was both excited and nervous, it was the first time he had such close contact with Emperor Wen of Han.
Liu Rong was walking and walking, and suddenly heard the sound of wailing, which frightened him to the core.
Mom, don't have zongzi!
When he got closer, he realized that it was his uncle, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was crying loudly here.
It turned out that Liu Wu had just finished the sacrifice and was lying on the ground wailing.
"Father, the child is too late, please forgive meβ"
"The destruction of my father's mausoleum is the fault of my sonsβ"
"Father, do you know, I want to kill you-"
He cried heartbroken and heartbroken, telling his feelings of missing Emperor Wen of Han and asking Emperor Wen of Han to forgive their brothers' mistakes, which made the listeners sad and those who saw them cry.
Liu Rong stood behind and watched Liu Wu's performance quietly, and said secretly in his heart: "I'd rather be a filial son." β
He is a traverser, so he naturally can't understand Liu Wu's feelings for his biological father, Emperor Wen of Han.
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the emperor and princes were exemplars.
The three brothers of Liu Wu are all filial piety people, which can be seen from the nickname.
Liu Qi is Emperor Jing of Han Xiao, Liu Wu is the King of Liang Xiao, and Liu Shen is the King of Acting Filial Piety, all of which have a filial piety character in their nicknames.
Among the three, Liu Wu is the most filial.
It is said that whenever he knew that the Empress Dowager Dou was sick, he was often sad, "he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, and he often wanted to stay in Chang'an to serve the Empress Dowager." β
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Dou loved King Liang very much (and the Empress Dowager also loved him), and always wanted to let the younger son be the prince of the eldest son.
