Chapter 280: Grave Digging and Grave Digging
Jin Tao was temporarily appointed as a reception envoy, and during this time he specially accompanied the envoys of the Celestial Empire.
Listening to Cai Qianhu's request, he was surprised: "How can there be a grave in the afternoon, or tomorrow?" ”
"Our Daming is going to the grave in the afternoon." Cai Bin was not negotiable: "Gonggong Huang is the emperor's envoy to Daming, and now he has unfortunately passed away, if we don't go to mourn, we won't sleep peacefully." ”
"Well, well." encountered such a domineering errand, Jin Tao could only do it.
~~
As soon as the carriage was arranged, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty set off immediately.
On the way, the brothers interrogated Jin Tao again, the cause of Huang's father-in-law's death.
"This subordinate doesn't know very well, only that Huang Neishou suddenly hanged himself in the autumn of last year, and later heard that he was talking nonsense, crying and laughing impermanently before he died, and he was afraid that he had a brain disease and was caused by madness." Jin Tao replied carefully.
"Have you seen the biography?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.
"The Heavenly Empire sent to hang himself in the country, how could such a big thing not be called an autopsy." Jin Tao said: "The autopsy found no traces of harm, and I was buried in the court." ”
"Since someone has already been sent to report the funeral, why don't you send his coffin back with you?" The third child stared at Jin Tao's eyes and asked.
"Oh, this seems to be in accordance with Huang Nei's last wish." Jin Tao swallowed and said: "I heard that he has expressed to Li Yuanjun several times that he wants to be buried in his country after death and not return to Daming." Naturally, we have to respect his wishes. ”
"That's right." The third nodded and exchanged glances with the sixth.
This guy is obviously, because the opposite is true. The prince told the sixth child that every time Huang Gonggong played, he would say that he was old and frail, missed his homeland, and begged for permission to return to China.
How did he get to this Jin Tao's mouth, but he became Huang Nei's servant and didn't want to return to China?
Who should I trust? Naturally, the elder brother believes in the eldest brother......
~~
Not only is there a small amount of food, but the buildings are also low, and the city is naturally not much bigger.
As for the tall yamen of Tamna, they were more magnificent than the Goryeo royal palaces, and that was because they were built by craftsmen sent by the Yuan Dynasty.
Kaeongseong City was built by the Goryeo people themselves, and naturally it is full of small family spirit.
After the tea effort, the group arrived at the Xingguo Temple in Lijingli in the north of Kaijing City.
The Goryeo people believe in Buddhism, but Heungguksa Temple is a royal temple, and the common people cannot worship it, so it is quite pure.
Jin Tao explained his intention to the host, and the host of Xingguo Temple personally brought the envoy of the Heavenly Dynasty to the stele forest in the backyard.
Under the shade of pines and cypresses, a huge tomb stands there quietly, and a tombstone is erected in front of the tomb, which reads 'The Tomb of the Ming Messenger Huang Neishi'.
Cai Bin and Lin Mi set up the sacrifices with their own hands, lit incense and candles, and meticulously worshiped the Huang Gonggong who had never met.
Brother Zhu Zhen stood solemnly behind the two envoys and also expressed his condolences to Eunuch Huang. At this moment, the brothers really realized the close connection between the envoy and the country.
Life and death, honor and disgrace, are related to the national system.
After the condolences were finished, Cai Bin and Lin Mi slowly got up.
Jin Tao just wanted to say, let's go back? It's getting dark.
But he heard the former say something that made his heart tremble.
"Grandpa Huang, we'll take you home."
"What?" Jin Tao was stunned.
"The official said that we are going to take Huang Gonggong home." Cai Bin repeated, waving his hand.
The second child led a few Yu Lin Wei, showed the heads he brought from the guest house, and surrounded the tomb covered with withered grass.
Apparently prepared.
Jin Tao hurriedly stretched out his arms and stopped: "Envoy, what is this for?" How can a man dig up a grave and disturb the deceased? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will is to bring Huang Gonggong back to China. Naturally, we had to take his coffin back to the State Guest House, and when we returned, we would take it back to China for burial. Lin Mi said in a deep voice: "Jinsheren, the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be disobeyed either. ”
"Yes, yes, I know." Jin Tao had been to Daming, so he naturally knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the most powerful prince throughout the ages. But that doesn't make them dig up their graves.
"At least wait a minute, wait for the lower official to ask the capital hall for instructions, right?!"
"Tell me a fart!" Cai Qianhu pulled him casually, and didn't put him in his eyes at all and said: "Huang Gonggong is born as a person of my Heavenly Dynasty, and death is a ghost of my Heavenly Dynasty, so naturally I am in charge of it." Why should you ask your court for instructions? Dig! ”
Jin Tao was powerless, and was pulled by the martial arts, so he sat on the ground with his butt, and watched as the tall soldiers of the Celestial Empire cut open the grave three times and divided five by two, and dug down for a while, finally revealing a fine mahogany coffin.
"Be careful when lifting the coffin." Cai Bin told his officers and soldiers: "The movements should be steady and light, and Huang Gonggong should not be hurt again." ”
"Yes." The soldiers answered the call, removed the floating soil from the coffin little by little, and then went down to the rope, shouted the trumpet, and slowly lifted the heavy coffin up......
~~
On the west side of the Goryeo Palace, there is a magnificent yamen.
The big flat in front of the door is a mile square, there is a high flagpole on the big flat, a blue flag is hung on it, and a line of gold characters on the flag is particularly eye-catching - 'all review the envoy'!
The Metropolitan Envoy is the Metropolitan Hall, the center of power that oversees all civil, military, and political affairs in Goryeo.
In the grand metropolitan meeting hall, there is a long table.
On the left and right of the long table, there is a row of chairs. At first, only the governors of the lower provinces, the Central Council, and the three divisions of Goryeo were qualified to sit here.
Later, as the power of the capital hall continued to expand, the number of people involved in the joint sitting also expanded, but there were still only 20 seats. Only the civil and military ministers at the top of Goryeo are still qualified to occupy a position here.
On the left and right of the long table, the two chairs at the top are the positions of the left and right attendants under the door.
As for the chair on the throne, it was prepared for the king's occasional ride. Of course, most of the time is empty.
At this time, it was already dark, and the candlelight was swaying in the hall, and only Li Renren and Cui Ying were there.
After the two returned from the State Guest House, they have been discussing in the capital hall how to deal with these stinky Ming Dynasty envoys.
Finally, it came to the death of Huang Neishi......
"Well, you won't say that his coffin was also brought on board?" Cui Ying complained about Li Renren.
He is older than Li Renren and has great credit, so Li Renren can't have a seizure, so he can only say in a muffled voice:
"What I was thinking at the time was that they would definitely want to see Chen Li and Mingsheng, if I lied, wouldn't I be exposed when I asked? That would be a big problem. ”
"But what if they want to open the coffin for an autopsy?" Cui Ying asked in a deep voice.
"You shouldn't be so reckless, right?" Li Renren didn't believe it.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." Cui Ying said in a sullen voice: "The old man will send someone to dig up the grave tonight, and the dead in the coffin will be replaced, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”
"Alas, okay......" Li Renren thought for a moment, this is indeed the safest.
As soon as the two finished discussing and were about to go their separate ways, Jin Tao sent someone to hurriedly report that the envoy of the Celestial Empire dug up the grave of Huang Neizhi and wanted to bring the coffin back to the guest house......
"Hey? What do the Jinshe people eat?! Cui Yingden burst into a rage and said: "No, they must be stopped!" ”
ps. First issue and then change.
