56 Before the coffin, the people were terrified
The news of "Sima Zhengyi" spread quickly, and Sima Yue also took the edict he had previously stamped with the jade seal of the country to announce to the world, so that Sima Chi would succeed to the throne, and he was the Taifu to assist the government. But who doesn't know that Sima Chi is a nerd and has never participated in major government affairs.
On the second day after Sima Zhen's death, Sima Yue beheaded Zhou Mu, the minister of the ministry, and his brother-in-law Zhuge Meiyou, because the two of them persuaded Sima Yue to abolish Sima Chi and establish Sima Qin, the king of Qinghe, and let Sima Yue coerce the young lord to command the world. Sima Yue then beheaded the two people left and right, and no longer killed his relatives with the family of two, so the above table abolished the decree of the three tribes.
This move made everyone incomprehensible again.
The civil and military officials who were still in the court and the soldiers who followed Sima Yue all the way did not dare to speak, and Luoyang City fell into a dead silence.
Sima Yue said that because Sima died of illness in a hurry, the imperial tomb had to be repaired again before the body could be moved over for burial. Therefore, at present, the spirit of Xianyang Palace is suspended, and hundreds of civil and military officials have to burn incense and worship every day. The queen's ladies must keep vigil day and night, and must not leave at will.
His movements were extremely fast, and he had already sent Mai to the hands of people in the harem such as Tianyuan Palace and Pear Flower Garden, and he and other officials were also Mai, and it was difficult to hide their grief. The Luoyang Imperial Palace is also a piece of white cloth, which makes people feel frightened.
Because Sima Yue is still killing people, those who oppose him to establish Sima Chi and oppose his implementation of the new policy, as long as they dare to say that they disagree, they will be killed immediately. Just like Gou Xi, the general who has been charging for him, he doesn't want to be on standby in Luoyang, and plans to take his troops back to Gunzhou to recuperate. As a result, Sima Yue beheaded him in court on the grounds of "great disrespect during the national funeral".
When the news reached Yang Xianrong's ears, she was taking a group of concubines and beauties in the harem to put incense on Sima Xin's coffin at noon today. The sun is in full bloom, and many people are dizzy and crumbling.
After Lu Zhu whispered to Yang Xianrong about the front hall, he quietly hid in the crowd and disappeared, and Cui Xi immediately stood beside her.
Yang Xianrong looked at the rising green smoke and said nothing.
She lost a lot of weight, and her sackcloth white clothes looked very wide on her body. His face was pale, his eyes were blue, but there was always light in his eyes, and against the background of the gold-inlaid jade earrings in his ears, there was a kind of bleak beauty.
Although the concubines and beauties were also dressed in sackcloth and white, they were also tired after kneeling in the mourning hall and crying for a few days, and a few of them covered their legs with wide clothes, and quietly sat cross-legged and listened to the monks and Taoists chanting.
Because they already knew the news that they might be "martyred", these concubines were somewhat desperate from crying and making a fuss at the beginning to kneeling here in exhaustion.
However, since even the queen had to be buried together, they felt that they could accept it.
People are like this, and the subordination psychology is extremely strong.
After the sheep offered incense, he retreated to the mourning shed belonging to the queen. Zhang Lianghoe quickly brought some hot water over and said softly, "Queen Mother, drink some tea." ”
Yang Xianrong's hand trembled, reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip, sure enough, it was clear tea, it was a clear tea belonging to Mingyue Tower.
"This was sent by Qin Wuwei, he said that Lord Mao was still kneeling in the front hall, and he came over to see the situation first." Zhang Lianghoe's voice was very small, with his back to everyone, and only Yang Xianrong could hear his voice. "Cao Tong has already looked for them, and he will arrange it as soon as possible."
"Don't let Cao Tong come back." Yang Xianrong lowered his head, as if looking at the pattern of the teacup.
"yes, this kid is quite clever." Zhang Liang hoeed the teapot, "I heard that the imperial tomb was washed by the flood, let alone buried, and even people couldn't get in, so it was delayed." ”
"There's still time, there's no hurry." Yang Xianrong put down the teacup, stood up and looked at Sima Xin's coffin, which was a huge coffin with black paint, and began to build his imperial tomb and prepare for the aftermath as soon as Sima Xin ascended the throne. After so many twists and turns, he finally came in flat, which was considered a good fate.
Seven more seriously injured palace people in Tianyuan Palace died, and the whimpering sound was unstoppable all night. Lan Xiang's injuries are also very serious, and she feels unbearable pain even when she moves. Yang Xianrong originally wanted Cui Xi to stay by her side, but Lan Xiang refused to live or die, saying that the two of them were left in the Yang family, and they couldn't leave anything.
Sima Jing suddenly grew up a lot overnight, and quietly stayed by Lan Xiang's side, pulling her quilt with her little hands, and looking at her with her eyes. made Lan Xiang cry again, and swore that she was already good and could accompany the little princess to practice martial arts.
In the end, Yang Xianrong still let Forsythia and Mama Coriander live with Sima Jing and Lan Xiang, so that it is convenient to take care of each other. At such a moment, Tianyuan Palace was almost empty.
After another seven days, several harem concubines fell, because they were guarding in front of the coffin for days, and the bodies of these women could not bear it. Yang Xianrong couldn't support it anymore and passed out a few times.
The appearance of Yang Xianrong fainting in front of the coffin made all the civil and military officials feel distressed. So Sima Yue ordered that those concubines and beauties in the harem could take turns to come and bow down, and they didn't have to stay here all the time. The queen sheep is weak, and it can also be changed to incense every three days.
However, the 7749 day vigil must be present. He asked the new emperor Sima Chi to stay here without having to go to court, and said very appropriately: "This is also an example for the people of the world, showing your respect for the emperor." ”
Counting, Sima Chi is two years older than Yang Xianrong. Although he is a nerd, he is also a burly adult man, and he should also be inherited from the Sima family, and the whole person looks a little stupid. There is no enthronement ceremony yet, so he is still just King Yuzhang, wearing the prince's robe and kneeling in front of the coffin to kowtow to incense. He was followed by his two princesses and a prince, who also seemed to be not prosperous.
Yang Xianrong stood aside, watched them bow down in a very regular manner, and then knelt down towards Yang Xianrong, kowtowing deeply, she suddenly felt very bored in her heart, so she took two steps back and said: "The prince should not make such a big gift, just to the emperor." ”
"As it should be." Sima Chi's face had a sad look, but there was even more fear in his eyes, he just glanced at Yang Xianrong, and then lowered his head, "The imperial brother died suddenly, and the younger brother was also shocked. ”
"Maybe it's as it should be." Yang Xianrong sighed and went to support Sima Chi in vain.
However, Sima Chi did not stand up immediately, but said in a very low voice: "The younger brother will definitely not let the queen mother be buried, and the imperial brother will never agree." ”
