The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 798 Funeral 1
(Egg at the end of the chapter, concept map of the protagonist's filial piety!)

On the first day of October, at dawn, the Qian'an Palace was brightly lit.

Zhao Yanxun opened his arms and let the eunuchs dress him.

It's just that today is different from the past. Today he is wearing a white jacket, the outermost layer is a round collar robe made of linen, and the leather belt around his waist has also been replaced with hemp rope.

There is no doubt that he is now wearing filial piety.

Not only him, but the maids, eunuchs and guards inside and outside the palace are all wearing plain clothes today, just because today is the time for Emperor Tai'an to be buried.

When the emperor dies, it is customary for the whole country to wear mourning.

It's a pity that Emperor Tai'an died when the end of the world came, and later encountered Zhao Yanxun's death, which caused his funeral ceremony to be messy.

But no matter what, after Emperor Tai'an was buried today, everything was settled.

Finally, a plain-colored Yishan crown was put on Zhao Yanxun's head, which meant that his dressing was completed.

With a calm face, Zhao Yanxun turned around and walked outside the hall.

A group of eunuchs followed immediately, and there were already chariots and sedan chairs waiting outside Qian'an Hall.

"Get off!"

The chariot sedan moved forward, slowly heading towards the harem, and finally stopped outside the Xianfu Palace.

In Xianfu Palace, Emperor Tai'an and Zhao Yanxun's concubines were all wearing filial piety clothes made of linen.

And these women are all centered on Concubine Duan. On this day that should be sad, Concubine Duan is in a pretty good mood.

After paying respects to Concubine Duan, Zhao Yanxun led the group of women towards the back of the palace.

The Zi Palace of Emperor Tai'an was parked in the Changle Palace behind the palace.

At this moment, outside the Changle Palace, there are already a large number of officials in plain clothes kneeling on both sides of the imperial road, the number of which is at least three to four hundred.

In other words, all the officials who could come were here except for those positions that could not be separated from others.

Inside the Changle Gate, kneeling were higher-ranking officials and feudal lords summoned to Beijing by Zhao Yanxun.

After leaving the Shenwu Gate, Zhao Yanxun separated from Concubine Duan and the others, and he was the only one who could take the chariot and sedan along the imperial road to the Changle Gate.

Even leaving aside the majority of people, Zhao Yanxun still has a lot of guards of honor, including more than 300 eunuchs, maids and guards.

The sky is getting brighter now, but it will take another half an hour before the sun will rise from the east.

Soon, his sedan chair came to the gate of Changle, attracting a group of officials to bow down and salute.

At a distance of [-] feet from Changle Gate, Zhao Yanxun's sedan chair landed, and he had to walk in next.

He got up early today, but many of the officials present got up in the middle of the night and had been waiting here for more than an hour.

With his head held high, Zhao Yanxun walked on the royal road, flanked by noble officials, and behind him were Huo Anlinquan and other eunuchs.

Entering the Changle Gate, Zhao Yanxun continued to walk in. At this moment, he could already see the Zi Palace of Emperor Tai'an in the main hall ahead.

When Zhao Yanxun passed by, the vassal kings who entered the capital from the south quietly looked up at him.

At first glance, Zhao Yanxun was only more handsome, and nothing else was surprising.

But after a few more glances, he felt that he was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his power was too awe-inspiring to look directly at.

Soon, Zhao Yanxun walked up the stairs and walked into the hall.

There is also a group of people kneeling in the main hall, they are the brothers and sons of Emperor Tai'an, and they are the closest group of people by blood.

In addition, there are a large number of Taoist priests sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures around Tai'an Emperor Zi Palace.

And the empty futon in the middle in front of the Zi Palace is reserved for Zhao Yanxun.

When Zhao Yanxun stepped into the hall, his eyes fell on the god in front of him, and he sighed in his heart.

To be honest, Emperor Tai'an was very kind to him, and almost fulfilled all his wishes when he was in the domain, so Zhao Yanxun's sorrow at this moment is from the bottom of his heart.

Kneeling on the futon, Zhao Yanxun took a stick of incense from the eunuch, bowed three times to the god in front of him, and then handed the incense to the eunuch, who inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Next, there were various tedious etiquettes, and the whole process lasted for nearly an hour.

When all the ceremonies were over, the sky was bright and the sun was high in the eastern sky. "

This also means that it is time to raise the coffin.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, more than 50 wrestlers in plain clothes entered the hall, and the next step was the coffin of the most pendant.

But before the coffin is raised, there is one more thing to do.

At the entrance of the main hall, the ceremony official shouted: "My condolences..."

His shout seemed to turn on the switch of everyone's tear glands, and all the officials and princes inside and outside Changle Palace cried loudly.

Amidst the waves of howling and howling, dozens of warriors were already in place and lifted the coffin under the command of the ceremony officer.

The mourning music played, and with the sound of crying, Emperor Tai'an's coffin slowly moved outward.

Men were crying inside and outside the main hall, while in the side halls on both sides, concubines and wives were crying.

In the side hall on the east side of the main hall, Concubine Duan knelt facing west, and behind her were the concubines of Emperor Tai'an and the concubines of the vassal kings.

Others may be pretending to be crying, but Concubine Duan, who has always been cruel, is really crying at this moment.

The crying and howling sounded in her ears, together with the desolate mourning, were tear gas to Concubine Duan.

Looking at the Zigong, which Emperor Tai'an slowly moved out of in front of the main hall, Concubine Duan cried even more.

Emperor Tai'an had favored her for many years, even though Concubine Duan was hard-hearted, she gave birth to a deep affection.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... why did you just leave!"

In the side hall on the west side, Xue Baojun was kneeling at the very front, and behind her were Zhao Yanxun's concubines and higher-ranking wives.

Everyone here basically has no intersection with Emperor Tai'an, so they can't talk about any relationship, so most of them are crying fake.

But some people are thinking about other things while pretending to cry.

For example, Zhang Fengxiu, who was kneeling at the back, was staring at Huang Rongrong in front of her at this moment, her expression was full of coldness and resentment.

Huang Rongrong slapped her, which still makes Zhang Fengxiu feel bitter about her.

She first reported this matter to Xue Baojun, but the princess made up with the mud directly, and then nothing happened.

Originally Zhang Fengxiu wanted to sue Concubine Duan, but she stopped after thinking about it. After all, this put Concubine Duan to the front, which might displease Concubine Duan.

Zhang Fengxiu suffered from being dumb, but she remembered the hatred, and she thought of revenge all the time.

But today's timing made her smell an opportunity.

Just as she was thinking about how to make Huang Rongrong "disgraceful" at the national funeral, Lin Jingyu, who was in the front seat, said: "My lord, if someone is distracted by mourning, what should I do?"

Xue Baoyun in Prince Yong's Mansion undoubtedly has the power of "life and death" in this side hall, which also means that she can't make mistakes in every word.

"The country's loss of ceremonies is a crime of disrespect, and it should be severely punished!"

This sentence was naturally extremely correct, and it also made everyone in the hall cry and howl, their voices were much quieter, and they all wanted to watch the fun.

In fact, Xue Baoyun didn't want to make any troubles at this time, and Lin Jingyu's sudden opening made her very upset.

But she still suppressed her anger and asked, "Who is disrespectful?"

This sentence made Lin Jingyu stand up again. If she didn't name the specific person, then she would be disrespectful.

"Zhang Fengyi lost his mind just now, that's why my concubine asked this question!"

Lin Jingyu answered very cleverly. Although she named Zhang Fengxiu, she didn't directly say that she was disrespectful.

But these words made Zhang Fengxiu understand that Lin Jingyu had noticed her performance just now.

At this point she has two choices, either explain or plead guilty.

Of course Zhang Fengxiu couldn't plead guilty, she just heard her say: "My concubine is in unbearable grief, my heart is like a knife being twisted, and I forget myself, please forgive me!"

This explanation barely made sense, Xue Baojun didn't want to be troublesome at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Lin Jingyu and Zhang Fengxiu looked at each other, and they both saw the coldness in each other's eyes.

In fact, Lin Jingyu didn't want to be troublesome, but this Fengxiu wanted to touch Huang Rongrong, but she had to "extraordinary problems".

Huang Rongrong, who was the person involved, was completely unaware of the confrontation just now, but was pleased with Zhang Fengxiu being "named".

The wives behind the concubines sensed the storm in the palace in the future from the exchange of words between the concubines.
