Chapter 2672 Canonization and Winning【5】

In front of the door of every household, there is a sacrificial shed, incense burners, offerings, soul-drawing flags, and bamboo strips or grass-tied water bridges. The head of the family will lead them to kneel down, burn paper money, and recite scriptures. Funeral for the emperor and empress.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The dull and heavy tripod bell kept ringing, and the sky was still dark, but there was already a lot of traffic in front of the imperial city gate, and all the courtiers who were qualified to come to the funeral had arrived and were waiting to line up to enter the imperial city.

When Mao hour arrived, the gates of the imperial city opened, and General Yuan appeared with the Minister of Rites, shouting: "King Wei ordered, when the time comes, all my lords, please enter the imperial city to bury Emperor Huai of Chu!"

The first one to enter the imperial city was Qin Sanlang.

Wei Changling came to see Qin Sanlang in person: "Greetings to the Marquis of Qin, the second master asked the late general to lead the way for you, please."

Wei Changfeng and Wei Changwu have returned. With them running errands for Wei Xiao, Wei Changling can always follow Qin Sanlang.

Qin Sanlang knew that stability was needed now, so he did not refuse. He nodded and went in with Zhang Zhong, Meng Hong, He Min, Jifeng, Cong Wenshan and other confidant generals.

There were many military generals coming from the northwest, and the rest were led by General Cheng and General Dai respectively... General Dai was particularly panicked, feeling that he was not qualified to lead the generals into the palace for the funeral of the empress, and mingled with the ranks of Marquis Qin or General Cheng. Just recharge the amount.

But there are three lines of defense in the northwest. He is the leader of the third line of defense and must be the leader of the generals of the third line of defense.

There were too many ministers and generals coming for the funeral, and they had to be searched before they could be released. It took more than an hour before the last batch of ministers and generals entered the imperial city and hurried to the ancestral temple in the imperial city.

At this moment, Wei Qi led the civil servants and generals, and under the guidance of Ouyang Zhang and Qin Tianjian Jianzheng, they were doing the arduous funeral arrangements step by step.

Ouyang Zhang shouted: "Kneel down!"

Wei Qi had to kneel down with all the civil and military officials.

Ouyang Zhang shouted: "Bye!"

Wei Qi took hundreds of officials to pay homage.

At the beginning, Wei Qi was fine, but the emperor's funeral ceremony was too heavy. Just kneeling in the ancestral temple took an hour... Wei Qi was also in his forties, and it really tired him out. That's enough.

By the time the coffin was lifted, Wei Qi was so tired that his legs were shaking. The dead soldiers disguised as soldiers hurriedly supported him to prevent Wei Qi from falling down.

"Emperor Huai of Chu is on a grand tour, and all the ministers and generals will cry at the funeral three times!" Ouyang Zhang shouted, and reminded Wei Qi: "King Wei, please cry first."

After Wei Qi heard this, he stared at Emperor Jingyuan's coffin, wishing he could smash it. But for the sake of the throne, he could only suppress all his anger and start crying loudly... He couldn't just cry, he had to read the instructions given by the Ministry of Etiquette. Ci'er made Wei Qi so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After Wei Qi began to cry, his ministers and generals also began to cry.

After crying three times, Qin Sanlang and Wei Xiao led 106 people to carry the coffin for Emperor Jingyuan.

"Lift the coffin, Emperor Huai of Chu, go big, go big, go big!" Ouyang Zhang shouted, Qin Sanlang and Wei Xiao lifted the coffin of Emperor Jingyuan, and followed Wei Qi slowly leaving the ancestral temple and heading towards the imperial city Xiushan And go.

The imperial city was very big, the beautiful mountains were not small, and the etiquette was very complicated. It took a full hour before they arrived at the cemetery.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the empress's coffin also arrived at Xiushan. After another kneeling and worshiping ceremony, the coffins of the emperor and empress were officially buried. After another ceremony, the burial began.

After the burial, they had to offer sacrifices, which took another half an hour.

By the time he was able to get down to Xiushan, Wei Qi was almost tortured to death!

He hated Emperor Jing Yuan so much in his heart that he was already secretly planning how to dig Emperor Jing Yuan's grave!

But Emperor Jingyuan was the emperor after all. Even if he was only temporarily buried in Xiushan, the tomb was heavily guarded by soldiers, and the Qin Dynasty's internal eunuch was left to guard his tomb.

This was a job that Qin's eunuch asked for. The Empress Dowager, Wei Qi, and Qin Sanlang all tried to persuade him, but he still insisted on guarding the emperor's tomb for ten years.

Ten years later, if he is still alive, he will move his tomb to the northwest with the emperor and empress, and settle down completely in the northwest to take care of him for the rest of his life.

But he is already very old and may not have ten years left.

"Inner Inspector, if anything happens to you, please ask someone to send me a message, and I will definitely help you." Qin Sanlang was worried about the Inner Inspector Qin, so he made this special statement.

"Thank you, Marquis of Qin. I have taken note of it," the internal eunuch of Qin urged him again: "Marquis Qin, please leave first."

King Wei stopped and looked back. If you don't come down the mountain, the Wei family will be worried.

"Well." Qin Sanlang glanced at the tomb where the emperor and empress were buried together, turned around and left, catching up with Wei Qi who was waiting for him, and said: "King Wei, I want to go to the palace the day after tomorrow to pick up the things that the empress left for me. Walk."

The day after tomorrow is the day when the Queen Mother will lead the Chu family's female relatives out of the palace and move into the villa, officially becoming common people.

"Sure." Wei Qi agreed and said, "If you are free tomorrow, come to the palace. Uncle Wei will hold a family banquet. Then call your cousin and Mr. Feng, and we can catch up on old times."

This guy has many soldiers and horses, so he has to be stabilized.

Qin Sanlang knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Wei Qi was very happy when he saw that he had agreed. He originally wanted to chat with Qin Sanlang for a few more words so that he could show his "deep uncle-nephew love" to the ministers, but today's funeral made all his efforts in vain. , I really couldn't hold it any longer, so I asked the ministers to rest for a day tomorrow, and then they were helped by others and hurried back to the palace where they lived.

I fainted from exhaustion as soon as I entered the palace.

Zhong Huan and the others soon found out about his fainting from exhaustion, and they secretly laughed at him.

In addition to Wei Qi being tired and fainting, Mr. Ouyang Hong couldn't hold on any longer... He was an octogenarian, and there were so many things going on during this period that his body was exhausted long ago. After returning from the funeral, he called everyone in the family to the house where he lived. Looking at the room full of juniors, he smiled and said: "Yes, they are all here well, not a single one is missing~"

I originally thought that the Chu Dynasty was at its end, and the Ouyang family, as the family of the founding heroes, would definitely end up with the whole family destroyed. However, I didn't expect that before his death, His Majesty actually did something to give up the country and save everyone.

Ouyang Zhang cried: "Dad, please stop talking and have a good rest...I'm getting better now. You really don't need to..."

Ouyang Hong raised his hand, wiping his tears like Ouyang Zhang did when he was a child, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, this is a joy and a loss, and this is the best ending for me."

Then he said: "You have done a good job. I am relieved to leave the Ouyang family to you."

After finishing speaking, he rested for a while, then looked at the people in the room and said, "I already told you what you need to say when the two sides were negotiating. Just remember it... I won't say more."

As soon as these words came out, there were already bursts of sobs in the house, especially Ouyang Yu, who couldn't help crying and said: "Uncle, hold on, wait for my grandfather, he is already on his way back, If he can’t see you, he will die with his eyes open!”

These words made Ouyang Hong smile: "I taught your grandfather, he will only be happy for me."

What he fears most is that after Da Chu is gone, the world will fall apart again and the Ouyang family will be destroyed. But now, although Da Chu is dead, other things are perfect.

that's enough!

Ouyang Hong waved to Ouyang Yu again and said, "Yu girl, come here."

Ouyang Yu was stunned... was her uncle calling her over? But with so many people in the room, why did she, the least promising person, be called over to talk?

Ouyang Yu was so flattered that he didn't dare to move.

When her father saw this, he was extremely angry and hurriedly slapped her on the arm and said: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come over quickly!"
