Chapter 19: The Funeral
Zhao was babbling, and when he heard the nameless fire of the second prince, he took off the boots on his feet and smashed them, and said angrily: "You old dog, you dare to shirk if you do something bad!"
The shoe smashed over, Zhao Enough didn't dodge, and watched it "bang" on his head, smashing his head back, and the next moment, like a tumbler, it bounced back again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time the smash was not light, and there was a blue patch on his forehead, but Zhao Enough was fine, and even said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins......
The outbreak of anger in his heart was only for a moment, and after venting, the second prince felt better and calmed down a little.
"Forget it, forget it, I really can't blame you all for this, this guy is not so easy to deal with. ”
Calm down, reason returns, the second prince knows, there is not much point in discussing whose fault it is, or who to punish, and it is imperative that it should be rearranged and fight again.
"By the way, you just said that you stopped Shi Zhongchu's management plan, but back then, he assisted the boss and planned to pacify Dingyang and the county. ”
With a turn in his mind, the second prince suddenly asked.
Zhao Enough nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, it is the one who manages the plan, formerly known as Guan Youwei, this person is not only excellent in strategy, but also extremely deep in cultivation, and is a rare master in China, not inferior to Shizhong Chu." ”
The second prince snorted coldly: "The boss's luck is really good, along the way, there are talents to assist, and there are such talents, but unfortunately I can't use him, since I can't use him, then I will destroy him." ”
What he said was terrifying and murderous, showing the domineering spirit of a generation of heroes.
Zhao Enough immediately patted and said: "What His Highness said is very true. Kyoto is the territory of His Royal Highness, the time, place, and people all belong to His Highness, and no matter how much the prince has the means, he will never be able to turn over any storms. ”

Three miles away from the palace, there is a city, an ordinary inn backyard, a tightly sealed room, two people sit.
Although it was evening, the sky was not dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still sufficient, but in the room, there were only a few faint spots of light, falling on the walls and floors, and the rest of the place was dull.
The two of them sat opposite each other, in the dim shadows, unable to see their clothes or their faces, all of them were blurred.
"Childe, you really managed to reach Kyoto, and you are still safe along the way. ”
"Mr. Lao bothered, everything is fine. I concealed my identity along the way, kept a low profile, and really did not alarm anyone, and arrived in Kyoto safely without wind and waves, thanks to my husband's plan. By the way, Mr. and Gu Shaohua are together, but it is still going well. ”
"They weren't so mentally retarded, they wouldn't have been completely unaware of the tricks I used, and they also sent a lot of people to kill them, but they were all sent away by me. It wasn't until outside Wangjing Town that the master they sent stopped us, it was the first swordsman Shi Zhongchu, who was stopped by me and let Gu Shaohua go first. I later inquired that he had fought at the gates of the city, and I heard that he had been wounded, and that he was going to be severely wounded, or even killed, but he was finally rescued. ”
"Oh, you know who came to the rescue. ”
"I don't know, but it should be the person who has a heart for the son, and he should be regarded as the son. ”
"Well, that's fine, he's safe, and I'm relieved. ”
The eldest prince Shen Jue was very pleased.
Letting go of a matter of concern, Shen Jue asked again: "Sir, since we have entered the city safely, what should we do next, go straight to the palace and ask to see my father?"
Guan Youwei categorically vetoed: "No, absolutely not, that person must have laid a net and is waiting for Gongzi to break in, once he acts recklessly, he will not step into the trap." ”
"What should I do, please teach me sir about it. ”
Shen Jue also knew that this would not work, but he just said it on purpose, wanting Guan Youwei to find a way for him.
After pondering for a moment, Guan Youcai said: "We can ...... like this"
――――――――――
After only one night, Kyoto was boiling, and the news from the palace and the court shook the whole city several times, from the princes and ministers to the peddlers and pawns.
The Emperor of Qi, a generation of emperors who had been in power for 29 years, died yesterday night, and the news came out, and the whole country mourned.
Well, the whole country mourns or something, it can't be taken seriously, but because of the death of the emperor, the people are not allowed to eat meat in March, and they are not allowed to wear brightly colored clothes, and I don't know how many people are dissatisfied.
At the same time as the death of the emperor of Qi, it was announced to the world, and the second son of the emperor inherited the edict of the emperor and succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and the enthronement ceremony was held three days after the funeral.
In ancient times, when a direct family member died, it was often necessary to keep filial piety for three years, but the royal family was different.
The funeral of the king of a country, after all, is different from ordinary people, and it is not enough to describe it with a beautiful funeral, and the emperor's mausoleum alone needs to be built for more than ten years, or even decades.
On the day of the funeral of the emperor of Qi, the whole city of Kyoto was torn with a white cloth, a piece of plain silk, whether you want it or not, everyone's face will be more or less with a trace of sadness.
The funeral procession was extremely large, from the princes and ministers, down to the Praetorian Guards, afraid that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people, traveling several miles, starting from the palace and going to the imperial tomb.
The emperor's family has always paid attention to pomp and circumstance, often what festivals, weddings and funerals, how extravagant and wasteful how to come, this can show the royal style.
A generation of emperors died, and the funeral naturally could not be shabby, it was not a beautiful funeral that could be described at all, the guests who attended, the important ministers of the court, the princess, the strong cultivators, etc., were all heavyweights.
The funeral items are also luxurious, and they have to be pulled by several carriages, such as gold, silver, jade, jewelry, weapons and armor.
The funeral procession was solemn and mournful, with a large number of people, but they walked forward quietly, without making a little movement and sound, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.
Along both sides of the street, thousands of people dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling there, at a glance, into a line of white color.
When the people came to see off the emperor, they may not really be out of their original intentions, they may not really love and respect him, and they are more forced by the government.
In the ancient imperial society, the impact of the royal family's every move on the people was too great, especially the death of the emperor, which would toss the people fiercely.
The long funeral procession slowly went out of the city, in addition to the funeral ministers, princesses and harem concubines, there were also a large number of forbidden soldiers who guarded them, and the military spirit was full and strong.
The funeral procession went out of the city, and there were still people following, although it was only a small number of people, I don't know if they really cherished or respected the emperor, or they were arranged, and there were still many people who followed, at least thousands.
In the crowd of ordinary people, there were two inconspicuous people, wearing a wide suit, all white, and in a patch of white, they couldn't distinguish each other at all.
