At the beginning of April, in front of the square of the Four Seas and the First Temple, the state funeral finally entered the last link, and the funeral was accompanied by a temple person singing: "The auspicious time has come, and the spirit rises." ”

The coffin of the first emperor was slowly lifted by one hundred and eight wrestlers, passing through the center of the square, followed by the treasure chariot, the divine silk chariot, and the dragon roll...... The Son of Heaven's honor guard is no different from when he was alive, and he is still extremely arrogant.

As the coffin of the first emperor advanced, all the ministers, all the royal relatives, and the descendants of the first emperor followed him to give him a funeral, followed by hundreds of shamans and shamans who prayed for the blessing of the first emperor and chanted sutras.

As the new monarch, Mu Sheng naturally had to accompany the coffin of the first emperor, but he could only walk, he could not take any means of transportation, and had to personally help the spirit to go to the emperor's mausoleum to bury the first emperor to show filial piety.

The huge funeral procession came out of Qingyang Palace, and the streets of the city were full of ordinary people kneeling to see off the emperor, and there were bursts of crying from the crowd to express their sorrow for the emperor.

The team marched to the outside of the city, tens of thousands of elites of the northern army lined up in a phalanx and half-knelt on both sides of the road to bow their heads and mourn, the funeral procession passed through the military array, and the generals and soldiers on both sides of the army changed into a long snake formation, guarding the honor guard of the first emperor on both sides, and went to the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum hundreds of miles away.

When the first emperor Zigong passed through the military array, the soldiers of the northern army had solemn faces, and the eyes of the soldiers obviously had an inexplicable reverence for the first emperor, their fathers had followed the first emperor around, the southern conquest and the northern war, the mouths of the veterans of the northern army still circulated the legendary stories of following the first emperor to sweep the world and destroy the country, passed down from generation to generation, and the recruits were naturally affected by it, and a person's influence could reach this extent, which was indeed not comparable to ordinary emperors.

When Mu Sheng saw the eyes of the soldiers of the Northern Army, he sighed in his heart, maybe it will be difficult for him to surpass the great deeds created by the first emperor in his life, and it is already very rare to be able to keep the family business well and not lose his family, and now that the first emperor has passed away, an era is about to end with the immortal death of this great emperor.

At the same time, Mu Sheng was also secretly relieved in his heart, as long as he could make good use of the influence of the first emperor in the future, the military heart, and the people's heart, although Huo Zheng had been the prime minister for more than ten years, even if he had different intentions, he would not dare to act rashly.

Walked for almost an hour, the huge funeral procession stopped in front of a temporary Lu Hall to rest, the so-called Lu Hall is a temporary camp, for the funeral team to temporarily rest place, all the civil and military officials, members of the clan have entered the rest and recuperation on the road again, if you have been walking on foot like this, there must be someone who is not physically able to fall behind, there are many people in Qingyang City spontaneously followed, helping the old and the young all the way to follow the first emperor's team to the funeral, it can be seen that the first emperor in their minds of the high status.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng was moved in his heart, so he called the accompanying officials to distribute the excess food and drinking water in the camp to the people who came to the funeral.

The rest is almost, the temple people shouted, the team continued on the road, in the afternoon, the funeral procession marched for two hours to the cemetery at the foot of Li Mountain, Li Mountain is not high, but by the mountains and rivers, it is indeed a blessed land of feng shui, now here is already a sea of people, the emperor's tomb room Shinto is in front, it seems dark and deep, only wait for the end of the sacrificial ceremony to officially bury the coffin of the first emperor.

The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum is the place where the first kings of the Jin Kingdom are buried, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter here.

Mu Sheng glanced at the luxurious imperial mausoleum that cost countless manpower and material resources to build in this era, and secretly said in his heart, the emperor's mausoleum is as high as a hill, the surrounding environment is pleasant, and there are tall newly carved stone statues on the road along the way, which seems to be silently guarding the emperors who have been sleeping here for generations from generation to generation.

In fact, it looks like a well-maintained forest park, with carefully trimmed plants, neat stone slabs on the pavement, almost spotless ground, and a large hall built in front of each tall emperor's mausoleum for future generations to worship, which is not at all as dilapidated as the tombs of later emperors, leaving only a dirt bag overgrown with wild grass.

Perhaps only with the passage of time, the complete decline of a dynasty, this place will gradually become deserted, no one to take care of, the founder of the new dynasty usually does not spend money to maintain the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty, once the dynasty declines, this place is also destined to gradually cripple, and finally can not escape the fate of drowning in the long river of history.

Perhaps one day in the future, what will really attract you here is precisely the countless treasures buried in these countless imperial tombs, and these legendary treasures have repeatedly lured a group of outlaws who are desperate for life and death. People always hope that the wealth of their life can be brought to the ground to continue to enjoy happiness, but they don't know that in the end, they will leave alone, and they can't take anything with them, even if they are the king of a country in their lifetime.

At this time, Fengchang Zhang Xi came forward to meet the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please come to the stage to present a gift and hold a burial ceremony." ”

Mu Sheng heard this, slightly bowed, he slowly climbed the high platform to worship the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth in the sound of the horn of mourning, after the ceremony, the shaman chanted the sacrificial text, hundreds of wrestlers carried the coffin of the first emperor and shouted the trumpet placed on the wooden track of the Shinto under the rope traction, the coffin slowly slid into the tomb, and then a dull vibration sound came, all the organs in the tomb were activated, seven heavy stone doors sealed the tomb in turn, and a group of mausoleum guards entered in turn to cover the sealed soil layer after layer, and the burial ceremony was over.

Mu Sheng, as the chief priest of the state funeral, led the members of the clan to worship and worship incense to the first emperor in the main hall in front of the emperor's tomb, and the slightly smaller god next to the first emperor's throne was just posthumously named the spiritual seat of the former emperor's empress Zhao Ji, that is, Mu Sheng's biological mother, Mrs. Zhao, so that his identity is the son of the prince, and the legitimacy and legitimacy of inheriting the throne are beyond doubt.

After a series of sacrificial ceremonies, the funeral ceremony is completed in stages, but the state funeral is not completely over, all parts of the country are still during the funeral period, during this time, the royal family is not allowed to marry, not allowed to set up banquets, not allowed to gather, the common people are more lenient, within 100 days are not allowed to marry, not allowed to gather, boil up, two or three months will pass.

As a member of the clan, the seventh prince who followed him all the way to this place saw that the coffin of the first emperor had been buried, and he seemed to have let go of some worries in his heart, and he kowtowed a few times in front of the first emperor's throne, and then came to the new monarch to resign, preparing to return to Ling Xuanzong.

Gongzi Zhen came to the emperor, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the first emperor has been buried, and the minister should go back, and the minister has come to bid farewell to Your Majesty." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly: "Seventh brother, or you can stay, I remember that your mother, Mrs. Pang, is still alive now, and now that the first emperor has passed away, Mrs. Pang has to move out of the palace to live, why don't you stay by her old man's side and pay homage to filial piety?" When the time comes, I will specially order that Mrs. Pang will prepare a mansion, and everything will be treated according to the old practice in the palace, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Gongzi Zhen was moved in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what to say......

After thinking for a while, Gongzi said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to be so extravagant, the minister is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, he is used to it, staying in this lively Qingyang City, the minister is afraid that he is a little uncomfortable, if Your Majesty is willing to fulfill our mother and son, the minister hopes to take his mother to Ling Xuanzong to spend his old age, so as to make up for the regret that the minister cannot be filial piety in front of his mother over the years." ”

The widows and descendants of the first emperor are generally not allowed to leave the capital Qingyang without authorization, and there is a palace outside the Qingyang Palace, which is specially used to place these people there for the rest of their lives.

Mu Sheng listened to it, and thought about it for a while, as if he had done a lot of things that broke the routine recently, and now he just asked Gongzi to take his mother into hiding, but it was nothing.

Mu Sheng agreed: "It's okay, you can go to the sixth uncle Gongzi Qing to arrange this matter for you, he is in charge of managing the affairs of the clan, I think he should buy me a face." ”

Gongzi Zhe was overjoyed when he heard this, and wanted to kneel down to pay respects, Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Seventh brother, they are all their own brothers, why do you need to be like this." ”

The relationship between the two brothers instantly became like a brother born to the same mother, and on the way back, there was nothing to talk about, and Mu Sheng didn't know why he had a good impression of Gongzi Zhen as soon as they met, maybe he was the only monk among the princes who could practice in general.

Mu Sheng sometimes thought to himself, if Gongzi Zhen was not a descendant of the first emperor, nor was he his imperial brother, but just an ordinary person, he really wanted to keep him by his side and entrust him to reuse, but unfortunately his bloodline meant that he couldn't give him even a little power.

In the past Jin history books, there are too many examples of bloody massacres between royal relatives for the throne, even if they are brothers, they can't resist the temptation of power, and they still put each other to death with blood and blood, and the whole country is in turmoil.

After the funeral ceremony of the first emperor, the funeral procession returned to Qingyang City, Huo Xiangguo and other important ministers of the court immediately began to prepare for the succession ceremony of the new monarch, and the entire court began to be busy again from the inside out.

After the official burial of Emperor Zhaowu of the first emperor III, more than 20 days have passed, at this time, a huge curtain was hung in front of the palace of the four seas, indicating that the funeral was temporarily suspended, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony had to be prepared.

In the East Palace, Mu Sheng, as the acting emperor, finally took off his white filial piety clothes, and at this time, Zhang Zhong, a permanent subordinate official, came to try on the new monarch with the new emperor's crown clothes to prepare for the upcoming succession ceremony.

Mu Sheng put on one after another cumbersome clothes, and after wearing almost them, he came to the front of the bronze mirror to take a look at his crown dress, the size felt still a little big, this set of clothes used in the enthronement ceremony naturally could not be made ready, they were all ready-made for improvisation, or they were worn by the first emperor, and after he officially succeeded to the throne, there were naturally professionals who customized a set of well-fitting crown clothes for him, because he still had to wear any grand ceremonies in the future.

The crown dress is the official dress of the emperor's enthronement ceremony, with twelve crowns on the head, the sun and the moon on the shoulders, embroidered with a variety of complex patterns of mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, the style is not too strange, this set of clothes is derived from the tradition of Yu Tianzi when he succeeded to the throne during the Yu Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom gave a complete inheritance after seizing the world.

It's just that this different world because there are two moons in the sky, the shoulders of the gown are embroidered with two moons, the left and right shoulders are the new moon and the Xuanyue, the two moons appear at the same time every night, it is impossible to embroider only one, as for the huge golden crow sun, it is embroidered on the chest of the clothes, the gold thread surrounds the sun, the golden crow hangs in the middle of the day, it looks extremely luxurious, in order for this golden crow hanging sun can be perfectly presented on the chest, the crown dress is different from the usual clothes, it is a round neck placket, and the left side of the dress is directly tied to the right side. Only in this way can the integrity of the black sunset be perfectly guaranteed.

Mu Sheng stretched out his hand, extremely satisfied, as soon as he wore this dress, he really had a bit of imperial majesty.
