The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 799 Funeral 2
(I'm very sorry, if it is not necessary, it will never be more anti-theft. Funerals are really hard to write!)
At the main hall, it took nearly 10 minutes to lift Emperor Zigong out of the main hall under the support of fifty strong men.

At this moment, outside the Changle Gate, a large number of guards of honor have already lined up.

At the front of the line are 64 banner guides holding high the Manmin Umbrella.

Behind them was supposed to be the emperor's guard of honor, with a total of more than 600 people, all of whom were filled by Yong Jun.

Twenty minutes later, the emperor's Zigong was carried out of the Changle Gate, followed by the coffin-carrying wrestlers changing shifts.

The outside is more spacious and can accommodate more people to carry the coffin, so the number of people has increased to 120 people, which is also the emperor's regulation.

On both sides of Zigong, there are more than 300 monks and priests, who are constantly reciting sutras.

When Zigong walks up the imperial road, the band playing behind them follows, and there are more than 600 people in the three classes.

And further back, there is a funeral procession in the true sense.

Zhao Yanxun was at the forefront, and behind him were more than a hundred vassal kings. This was the first time that such a situation had occurred since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.

Behind these vassal kings, there are a group of high-ranking court officials, and the middle and low-level officials have to go back to the government for a while.

As for the concubines and concubines, they will continue to mourn in the main hall after everyone has left, and they will not leave until Emperor Tai'an is buried.

It took almost three days before and after this incident, which meant that they had to wait in Changle Palace for three days.

Half an hour later, the Changle Gate was closed from the outside, and apart from the serving eunuchs and maids, there were only a large number of concubines and wives left.

Among these people, Concubine Duan's status was the most respected, so she knelt in the front and middle position.

On the back right of her, Xue Baojun was kneeling, followed by Lin Jingyu and Huang Rongrong, and finally the other concubines.

As for the large number of feudal princes and concubines, all of them knelt outside the hall.

Different from the hustle and bustle just now, this place has completely returned to silence, and it can even be said that the silence is a little scary.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed boring here, but it still had to kneel and wait.

Of course, ordinary people need to strictly abide by the etiquette system, but Concubine Duan can go to the side hall to rest.

Zhang Fengxiu used the excuse of serving Concubine Duan, and followed to the side hall, seeing Xue Baoyun's eyes flashing coldly.

In front of so many people, Zhang Fengxiu rushes to serve Concubine Duan, which is tantamount to proving that she is not a good daughter-in-law.

It can be said that Zhang Fengxiu's impetuous means offended Xue Linhuang and the others.

After entering the side hall, Zhang Fengxiu told Concubine Duan about being bullied while beating Concubine Duan's leg.

"Are you distracted while mourning?" Concubine Duan asked coldly.

Originally Zhang Fengxiu was complaining, but Concubine Duan would have such a reaction.

Knowing that the matter was messed up, Zhang Fengxiu hurriedly came to Concubine Duan and knelt down, kowtowing in extreme panic: "The concubine is guilty!"

In front of Concubine Duan, she didn't dare to play tricks.

Zhang Fengxiu wanted to make trouble at the funeral, which really made Concubine Duan very angry.

Emotionally, Concubine Duan didn't want her husband's funeral to go wrong, but intellectually, Zhang Fengxiu was stupid to do so.

If something goes wrong, Huang Rongrong will be punished or not, but Zhang Fengxiu will definitely not end well.

After getting along with each other these days, Concubine Duan has re-understood her son, even if she does things, she has to worry about Zhao Yanxun's attitude.

Thinking of Zhang Fengxiu being as stupid as a servant, not only did Concubine Duan examine whether she still had the need to cultivate this girl.

And in this silence, Zhang Fengxiu feared the most. She knew that her fate was uncertain.

"Get out!"

Concubine Duan uttered these three words, and Zhang Fengxiu was hit so hard that she lost her mind.

Concubine Duan's words were Yizhi. Seeing that Zhang Fengxiu didn't respond, a court lady immediately stepped forward and took her out.

Seeing that Zhang Fengxiu was sent out and seemed to be out of his mind, all the concubines in the palace couldn't help whispering.

"quiet!"

Xue Baoyun turned his head to look behind, and everyone fell silent.

…………

Two days later, Emperor Tai'an's Zi Palace finally arrived at the mausoleum after a long journey.

The imperial mausoleum occupies a vast area, but the construction has not been completed.

Fortunately, the main hall and Shinto have been repaired, barely allowing the funeral to be held.

A ceremony was being held in the main hall, and only Zhao Yanxun and the close clan were inside, while other feudal lords and ministers were kneeling outside.

Although kneeling is also tiring, for these people outside, it is tantamount to resting.

"It is said that the Yong army is invincible. I met you in the past two days. It really lives up to its reputation!"

"Who says it's not? Zhao Yongshen really doesn't know what to do if he wants to learn from others!"

This is the vassal kings talking in a low voice, as long as there is no big commotion, the etiquette officials will not come to trouble them.

"Prince Ning's lineage is already estranged from us. Emperor Taizong was kind enough to keep them, but I didn't expect these people to be so restless!"

The vassal kings of the Jin Dynasty, except for a few conferred by Taizu, are all descendants of Zhao Hongzhang, so they naturally dislike King Ning's family.

In the eyes of these people, as long as the vassal kings of the Qin Dynasty are not dead, there is absolutely no chance for Zhao Yongshen to spy on the throne.

"Now the world has been settled, and the throne is vacant... Will you come forward to persuade me to come in?"

"That needs to be reminded by Uncle Yu, I handed over the paperwork when I set off from the feudal land, and handed over two more after I arrived in Beijing!"

"I have one more than you, and I only delivered the fourth one yesterday!"

Hearing this, the old King Yu showed bitterness. He needs to remind these juniors, after all, he only made one book.

"After the burial of the first emperor, the position of emperor... must be settled!"

"I hope so!"

If they settle down early, they can return to the fief earlier and continue to live a good life behind closed doors.

Everyone chatted in low voices, and soon half an hour passed, and the ceremony in the hall ended.

Next, it was the time for the burial in Tai'an Emperor Zi Palace.

In the main hall, the Tai'an Emperor's Zi Palace, which had been placed overnight, was lifted up again by the warriors, and slowly carried out of the main hall to the underground palace.

But Zhao Yanxun and others stayed in the main hall, and the next thing they had to do was to wait.

Everyone in the hall had sad faces, and they had maintained this expression for three days, but everyone's mood was different.

Looking at Zhao Yanxun who was kneeling in front, the brothers behind were envious and jealous, but they had to keep playing, begging Zhao Yanxun to sit on that dragon chair.

On the other side, Zigong was carried close to the underground palace. Along the slope repaired in advance, the wrestlers carried Zigong down the underground palace, and then retreated one after another after the resettlement was completed.

Next, the eunuchs organized the funeral objects to confirm whether they were placed neatly.

After the inspection was completed, the eunuchs also withdrew one after another, and the next thing to do was to seal the underground palace.

Of course, this closure is only temporary.

It's just because beside the coffin of Emperor Tai'an, there is still an empty coffin, which was reserved by Concubine Duan for herself in advance.

In other words, among the many concubines of Emperor Tai'an, Concubine Duan was only allowed to be buried with the emperor, even though she was not officially registered as a queen.

It is very unsystematic to do so, but the court collectively lost its voice on this.

The three-day funeral ceremony finally came to a successful conclusion for people like Zhao Yanxun.

After the burial, everyone will return.

There are more than 1 senior officials of the clan, plus funeral ceremonies, and accompanying escort soldiers and horses.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yanxun took off the hat on his head, and there was no sorrow in his expression.

"The old era is over!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

This sentence also means that a new era is coming.
