Chapter 40: Workers strive for the throne with all their might
Gonggong Kong Ren had a bad heart and made a big fuss about the funeral of Xuanyuan Guojun, which caused public anger.
However, because of Kong Ren's skills and martial arts, people dare to be angry with him but dare not speak.
Because of this, he calmly persuaded him to hold a worship ceremony next.
Who knows, Kong Ren has distracting thoughts in his heart, and he can't listen to the advice at all, so he eats hard and soft.
In a fit of rage, he ordered the samurai to take him out of the mourning hall and lock him up.
At dusk, the herald ordered the pine lanterns to be lit and the torches were to be lit, and everyone was invited to worship overnight.
Funerals and funerals in ancient times were very elaborate and very strict.
Here is a brief introduction to the key points of funeral management. Needless to say, bathing and washing the deceased and wearing longevity robes, it is still used today;
Building a funeral tent, setting up a mourning hall is also called a sacrificial hall, placing spiritual plaques, etc., and these things have different practices in different places.
The so-called funeral shed and mourning hall are places where the deceased are parked, which are generally located in the main house.
The coffin welcomes the door, and the front is placed on the table, and there are three dry, four fresh, five livestock, six fruits, bowls, chopsticks, and funeral plates on the table;
There is also a bowl of half-cooked rice with pillars on it, which is called "inverted rice";
In the middle of the table is placed an "inverted headlamp" with the wick facing downward.
These indicate that people will go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death, and there will be people who have established families behind them, and the family members will be prosperous.
Behind the offering table, there is a white cloth or curtain as a shadow body, on which are pasted the words "Lay" and "Spirit".
When it comes to wakes and worship rituals, they are generally based on the direction in which the deceased's head is parked inward, and the filial piety relatives are divided into men on the left and women on the right side of the deceased, which is called the wake. During the wake, some straw or straw (grain straw) is laid, which is called "lying grass";
Generally, the guardians regard the eldest son, eldest grandson, and eldest great-grandson as filial piety.
"Wearing linen and wearing filial piety" is heavy filial piety, where the emphasis on filial piety is mostly children for parents, wives for husbands, grandchildren and granddaughters of the father's death for grandparents, including nieces and nephews, wearing plain clothes, hemp ropes, wearing filial piety hoops, women wearing white scarves, wearing hemp and white shoes.
The five suits are divided from the filial piety clothes, and the five suits are divided into: chopping decay, Qi decay, great merit, small merit, and hemp.
The so-called five suits are one service from the self up to the grandfather's generation, and then count each generation from the self down to one service, commonly known as the "eight generations";
After the fifth service, it is not considered a kinship, it can only be regarded as a "family".
Among the five suits, "beheading" is the highest level, the heaviest mourning, and the lowest level is "hemp", which is the lightest mourning.
Due to the different ranks, the filial piety period and mourning clothes are different. "Cutting the decline" and keeping filial piety for three years, and "Qi decaying" keeping filial piety for one year.
And said that the chief priest of the funeral of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor this time was Mr. Li Mu, the minister of the country, and he saw that Gonggong's Kong Ren was forcibly "invited" out of the mourning hall, and he didn't want to see this situation, but he had no choice but to shake his head and sigh: "Alas, why tear your face?"
I saw him holding a golden pen in his hand, and asked his filial son to take the three green inkstones, and wrote two long couplets on both sides of the coffin.
Shanglian wrote: Black and white impermanence comes to congratulate, and the bull head and horse face greet with a smile.
The next link wrote: The golden boy holds the pot and the spring is always there, and the jade girl holds the case for a long time.
This golden boy and jade girl, the two fairy children, were originally the righteous son and righteous daughter of Nuwa Niangniang, after several reincarnations, but now they are the soul protectors of the undead in the world, and they are specifically responsible for escorting the souls of the dead in the world to the west safely, so that the souls will not be harmed on the way.
Li Mu knew this, so he wrote this.
Of course, at this time, the idols of the golden boy and the girl stood on both sides of the gate of the mourning hall.
He also asked someone to paste paper work for Xuanyuan Guojun, "Jinshan Silver Treasury", "Deer, Crane, Sheep and Horses", "Hades House", as well as gatehouses, tea rooms and other supplies, all of which are exquisite and complete. It is believed that these articles are burned and sent to the underworld for the deceased to eat.
The wakes are divided into three, five, and seven days, and the seven days of the wake are already very solemn.
When the seven days expired and the mourning began, the sacrificial activities were stopped and the funeral was held as scheduled.
Before the funeral, the Empress Feng, Dahong and Chang Xian and other civil and military ministers knelt on the left and right respectively.
After scattering some paper money in front of the spirit, Li Mu personally handed over the torch to Zhuan.
In front of the Yellow Emperor's Spiritual Hall, he lit 7749 pine lanterns, and the incense burner and offerings were placed on the table.
I saw him barefoot on incense, and began to kneel three times and bow nine times, each time he knelt down and bowed three times, and his forehead touched the ground "dong dong" sound.
After praying, he knelt down in front of the spirit and offered a prayer in tears and shouted: "The death of the monarch and immortals has made the world mourn and make all the people lose their souls; the death of the ancestors has made me suffer from the pain! Since the two emperors of Yan and Huang have ruled the world together, the monarch has displayed his ambition to save the lives of the people in the world as his own responsibility, and strives to help the true meaning of governing the country; he has toured Kyushu, pacified the people, eliminated demons, and set the world, and his feat has moved the heavens and shocked the people of the world; making guides, giving birth to the five elements, producing yin and yang, planting grains, and drawing arrays are all the miraculous feats of creation! The monarch has dedicated his life to the Li Shu of the world, with a kind of virtue and benevolence, His tolerance and generosity are deeply loved and admired by all the people, and he is really a model for us. Thanks to the love of the monarch, I will remember the teachings, shoulder the heavy responsibility of ruling the world, never dare to slack off, and swear to fulfill the grand wish of the monarch to help enrich the people, worthy of the vast sky, worthy of all living beings, in order to repay the great kindness of the monarch......"
After the ceremony, the coffin was dispatched.
The filial sons and grandsons of the Yellow Emperor and their dependents knelt on both sides, and Fang Xiang held the jade seal and Fang Tian's halberd in front of him to open the way.
The two ministers of the country and Li Mu walked in front of the coffin while throwing "road money".
Dahong and Chang Xian each held a blade on the left and a right, while Wang Shan and Wu Xu followed closely behind and lined up on the left and right respectively, and Wei Kun was broken.
Along the way, the sound of golden cymbals and copper cymbals shook the world, and the reed pipes and bamboo pipes resounded in the sky;
Tens of thousands of people, wailing and weeping, all sad, step by step, the mighty Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was buried on the bridge mountain.
Besides, because of the "funeral" of the co-workers, he had no choice but to order the samurai to take him out of the mourning hall, and even did not let him participate in the funeral of the monarch, lest he have another incident.
After the funeral, he knew that he was a bit excessive, so he discussed with the two ministers how to explain it to the co-workers.
First of all, Li Mu said: "Please forgive the young general." ”
He smiled and said, "Sir, please speak." ”
Li Mu said: "It is indeed unreasonable to make a funeral together, but it should not be to this extent. Now that the major general is in charge of the world, he should seek common ground while reserving differences, and value peace. Co-workers are narrow-minded and intolerant. However, people have the feeling of meeting, and the minister is willing to accompany the major general to meet with the co-workers, if the two generals take the overall situation as the priority, and reconcile, the world is peaceful, wouldn't it be beautiful. ”
After hearing this, she smiled disapprovingly and said, "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." The reason for this joint work and funeral is well known to us, and he fully exposed his ambition to compete for the throne with the major general. It is conceivable that people with such ambitions may have already lost their minds. ”
After Xiang Feng, he smiled slightly: "Sir, don't worry, if Kong Ren is a person with both ability and political integrity, he should be able to sit on the throne of the world after being supported and recommended by everyone, and we will also do our best to assist." ”
Li Mu said: "The young general is kind-hearted and magnificent, if Kong Ren also has this idea, the two generals will work together to be a blessing for the people of the world." ”
The queen of the wind smiled, "I hope so." ”
Zhen Yan nodded and said, "What Mr. Li Mu said is very true, I would like to apologize to General Kong Ren in person. ”
The queen of the wind said: "The young general is a person who regards the general situation, and since this is the case, the minister is also willing to accompany him." ”
Zhen Xuan was happy, and said to the two ministers: "Please persuade the two gentlemen to make peace, please." ”
Let's say, the three of them went together to see the place where they worked together.
I saw a few big men at the door, all like iron towers, and when they saw the three of them coming, they were busy paying homage and saluting.
Zhen Xuan asked, "Is the general of the Gonggong good?"
A samurai said: "In the first two days, I kept shouting and scolding, slamming doors and hitting walls, but in the past two days, it has been much quieter. ”
"Open the door, and I'll meet the general." ”
The samurai didn't dare to slack off, opened the door and flashed aside.
When he and the two ministers entered the house, they saw Gonggong lying on the bed with his eyes closed, presumably he had already heard the arrival of the three of them.
The three of them looked at each other, knowing that the co-workers were still angry, so they bowed their hands and said with a smile: "The general has been wronged in the past few days, and today I specially apologized to the general, please forgive the general." ”
The co-workers still had their eyes closed, and they didn't seem to hear him speak at all.
Seeing this, the queen of the wind wanted to step forward and say something, but was stopped by Li Mu.
Li Mu bent down and smiled softly at the Gonggong: "Presumably the general is still angry, please calm the general's anger." Mr. Fenghou and I accompanied Major General Gao Yang to visit the general, how about the general have something to say in person?"
"How dare you!" Hearing this, the co-worker suddenly jumped up from the bed, his eyes widened and he pointed angrily and shouted: "Gaoyang Xiao'er!
Zhen Xuan didn't bother with him, but still said with a smile: "The general's words are wrong. I have come here today to sincerely apologize to the general, and I have no other intentions, and I also want to have a good talk with the general, so please don't be angry. ”
Gonggong said: "There is nothing to say now. ”
Zhen Xuan sighed: "I did have a radical mistake for the general's actions that day, and I regretted it afterwards. was also young and vigorous, and when he saw that the general only cared about the mourning and forgot the funeral etiquette, he was anxious for a while, so he made an rude move to the general, which was really a last resort. ”
Feng Hou also stepped forward and said: "The young general sincerely apologizes, please forgive the general." Now that the monarch is gone, everything in the world still needs us to unite as one, and many people are watching the two generals, everyone knows that the two generals are together in the world, and the two generals are divided into chaos in the world, and we must not destroy the peaceful and prosperous world that the monarch has worked so hard to create in our hands. Please think twice, general. ”
He secretly said in his heart: Another lobbyist, "I have to be in love"! It has been a few days since the monarch was buried, and I am still forbidden here, what is the reason? After the wind said that "the world is peaceful," what does it have to do with me if it is not too peaceful? No matter what kind of rhetoric you say, this time I will definitely have a showdown with Gao Yang'er!
Thinking of this, he glanced at the three of them with his eyes and asked Zhuan, "May I ask what crime I have committed, and do you want to imprison me?"
He smiled and said, "What is the general's crime, please leave at any time." ”
"Alright, I'll go when I'm too long-winded. Gonggong raised his legs and went out, but was stopped by the samurai guarding the door.
Gonggong pointed at the samurai and turned his head and sneered and asked, "Dare to ask Gao Yang, what does this mean?"
Seeing this, he retreated from the samurai. The co-workers ignored it and strode out the door.
Li Mu hurriedly shouted behind him: "General go slowly! I have something to say!"
No matter how much you call, the co-workers will not turn back.
