Chapter 338: Burial

On February 20, the sky was beautiful, and in the day of Gao Huan's burial, the sun was shining.

Yuan Shanjian stopped outside Luoyang City, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, whether or not the Gao family was close, but he wanted to send Gao Huan to the mountain.

Bi Mountain, Gao Huan Mausoleum.

"Carry the coffin, support the spirit, and send off the martial king."

As the ceremonial officials chanted, the soldiers lifted Gao Huan's coffin from the chariot given by Yuan Shanjian and sent it to the tomb.

Eight close people are needed to help Gao Huan's coffin on its last journey.

Gao Cheng, as the eldest son of his grandson, was naturally among them, and the remaining seven candidates were also selected by him early, namely:

Gao Huan was the long history of Jinzhou Assassin History, and Sun Teng, a native of Huaishuo, as a friend of Weimo and an important participant in Xindu Jianyi, Sun Teng undoubtedly had to occupy a place.

Although Sima Ziru had never participated in the establishment of Xindu, he was also Gao Huan's running friend when he was in Huaishuo, and the relationship was irreversible, so Gao Cheng also included him as one of the eight.

Gao Longzhi's surname is Xu, but he is also a brother of the same clan recognized by Gao Huan, and he served under the account when he was in Jinzhou.

Because Wei Jing, Lou Zhao, Wei Digan, Duan Shao, Hu Lujin, Gao Yue and others are all serving in other places, and Dou Tai is still on the way back to Luoyang, such as Cai Jun. Liu Gui died of illness early.

The remaining four people, Gao Cheng can choose according to his heart.

As an important hero of Xindu Jianyi, Gao Aocao, the general of the Gyeonggi Army, as Gao Huan's recognized uncle and Gao Cheng's general, is loyal, and he must be counted no matter what.

Xue Guyan, the former general of Jinyang, rebelled with Hanlou, and after returning to the imperial court, he was recommended by Liu Gui to go to Jinzhou to follow Gao Huan, during the first western expedition, Gao Huan was chased and killed by He Basheng, it was Xue Guyan and Dou Tai who were in danger of savior, so that he was able to escape by luck, Gao Cheng could not forget Xue Guyan.

As the governor of the tent, He Batren followed Gao Huan to break with the Erzhu clan in Xindu, and had many military exploits, as one of the generals mentioned by Gao Huan on his deathbed, Gao Cheng also counted him in it.

The last place, as a means of grace, Gao Cheng gave it to Peng Le.

Before Peng Le returned to Gao Huan, his resume was not very glamorous, but he did follow Gao Huan step by step from Jinzhou, and he can be called a great achievement.

And the people mentioned by Gao Huan when he was dying were Zhu Hunyuan, Liu Feng and others, because they had never participated in the construction of Xindu, they were not chosen by Gao Cheng.

Including Gao Cheng himself, among the eight people, only Sima Ziru was able to skip the threshold of Xindu Jianyi by relying on Gao Huan's identity as an old friend.

The so-called Fu Ling, in fact, has no real benefits, but it represents the friendship with the deceased, and more importantly, the preference of Gao Cheng, the person who mourns the main mourner.

Perhaps in the future, when you make a mistake and want to be punished, you can cry out: 'I have shed blood for the Gao family, and I have supported the spirit of the high king.' ’

may be able to get a lighter punishment, of course, it is not certain, after all, everything depends on the mind of Xiao Gaowang.

The torch illuminated the dark tomb road, and when he walked to the tomb, he saw that everything was indeed as Gao Cheng pretended to be Gao Huan's testament, everything was simple.

There is no gold and jade burial in the tomb, even if it is pottery, it is definitely not commensurate with Gao Huan's identity and merits.

"My lord, don't add any more funeral goods."

Sun Teng is already sixty years old, as soon as a person is old, it is easy to miss the old man, he has been friends with Gao Huan for decades, and at this moment, seeing the old friend's tomb so shabby, with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but persuade him.

"The testament of my father, those who are sons of men, dare not disobey them."

How much Gao Huan said about the testament, no one except Gao Cheng knows, but judging from the number of civil and military ministers that Gao Cheng has won over these days, those who say Allegro can't compare to He Liuhun's sharp mouth.

Gao Cheng is not reluctant to give up those gold and jade artifacts, although there has been a frugal style in the Qi Palace, but it is true that he is not poor to this extent, but once Gao Huan is buried thickly, he has to worry about whether those craftsmen and people will rob the tomb to get gold, disturbing He Liuhun's peace.

The original owner, like many rulers, chose to kill all the craftsmen to keep the secret of the mausoleum for Gao Huan, but there was a craftsman's son who knew where the mausoleum was, and after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he dug for gold.

As a modern person, Gao Cheng definitely can't do this kind of thing.

Between the thin burial and the thick burial, Gao Cheng weighed it again and again, and chose not to seal the tree, and buried He Liuhun thinly, just like the story of Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao's tomb was not discovered until later generations, the funeral from Jane is the main reason, Cao Pi launched a pen to hype that there is no burial gold and jade artifacts, and it is not valued by tomb robbers, because it is not sealed or tree, there is no identification, in the Northern Song Dynasty, no one knows where its tomb is, so there is the legend of the so-called seventy-two doubtful graves.

Of course, in addition to pottery, Gao Cheng still left some things in Gao Huan's tomb, such as Zhang Shiqi's masterpiece "Gao's Entrepreneurship Record" was published and engraved into an inscription and buried in Gao Huan's tomb.

If it is really like Cao Cao's tomb, it can wait until later generations to be discovered.

Presumably, the book "Gao's Entrepreneurship Record" can allow future generations to better understand this period of history, such as King Xiao Gao's robbery of horses, and Erzhu's anger; He Liuhun was persecuted and had no choice but to betray the master.

Besides, Gao Huan himself has only read this paragraph, and Gao Cheng has always hidden the content behind it, and now the whole text is buried with him, if you know under the spring, you can also take a look occasionally to relieve boredom.

Sun Teng saw Gao Cheng's resolute attitude and the so-called Gao Huan's legacy, so he no longer insisted on it.

The coffin fell steadily on the coffin bed, and the other seven people who were ordered to help the spirit cried as if their liver and intestines were broken, Gao Cheng knew that according to the rules, he should also cry along, but this time there was no repeat, he looked at the coffin, and just wanted to say goodbye to Gao Huan quietly, and the crying of others only made him feel noisy.

Gao Cheng frowned and said:

"You wait and go to the graveyard first, and come back later."

Since entering the King of Qi, on formal occasions, Gao Cheng has also been called lonely, but in private he still calls himself me, we, Yu, etc.

Everyone didn't dare to disturb their father and son to say goodbye, leaving only a torch, and they walked out of the tomb one after another, waiting for Gao Cheng to come out in the tomb.

In the tomb, only Gao Cheng was left caressing the coffin and was silent.

After a long time, everyone saw Gao Cheng come out with a torch, his eyes slightly moist.

Walking through the tomb and seeing the light of day again, the sun made Gao Cheng's eyes slightly astringent, he rubbed his eyes, and everyone behind him came out one by one.

Gao Cheng turned around and watched as the tomb door was slowly closed, and the sealing stone rolled down the landslide behind the door, holding the tomb door against it.

'The world belongs to me, and the underworld also asks my father to fight for it first. ’

The scorching sun is like fire, the era that belongs to Gao Huan has come to a complete end, and the new high king stands on the high platform of power, and he is alone.
