Zhuo Qihua

On the eighth day of November, a mighty convoy drove out from the main gate of the palace.White flags, black gauze, yellow chrysanthemums... the whole Xixiang City seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and there was no hustle and bustle.The convoy drove into the streets of the inner city, and the convoys of princes, county kings, and courtiers who were already waiting by the street joined them.

Siping Emperor Mausoleum, King Wu who has arrived ahead of schedule is leading people to arrange it.Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu and other "retired" veterans who also came here early also prepared to pay homage to the Holy Emperor and Empress.The entire imperial mausoleum is full of yellow chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums.The Empress was not keen on flowers and plants during her lifetime.There are plum blossoms, wintersweet, peach trees, bauhinia and other flower trees planted in Xiangfu Palace. At that time, the emperor requested that there should be flowers in Xiangfu Palace all year round.Therefore, the emperor's mausoleum where the emperor and queen are buried is also planted with many plum blossoms, wintersweet, peach trees, and bauhinia.Around noon, Emperor Kangjing's big body appeared in the imperial mausoleum.Everyone in the palace and court should come, and those who can come have come.

After everyone arrived, they each drank a bowl of hot soup and ate a few pieces of snacks to cushion their stomachs. At 1:[-], Emperor Kang Jing led all the people who came to worship to stand on the worship square of the emperor's mausoleum.The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were buried deep in a certain place directly opposite the square.No one knows exactly where it is.No one knew the detailed layout of the imperial palace, not even Emperor Kang Jing.The depths of the imperial palace are densely covered with organs.After the coffins of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress were brought in from the entrance of the imperial palace, they slid down a slope, and then various organs in the imperial mausoleum would automatically send the coffins to the designated place where the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress rested.

Inside the coffin, there are funeral objects accompanied by the Holy Emperor and Empress.The other funerary objects of the Holy Emperor and the Empress are in the four divisions of East, West, North, South.The funerary objects were brought in and placed by manpower.After the people who brought the funerary goods into the imperial palace came out, Shi Yu, Lin Xieshan, Wu Wang, and Pan Beigu respectively activated the organs of the four funeral imperial palaces.Those funerary objects will be sent deeper by the mechanism one by one, and the surface layer will also change into another appearance.Where the institution is and what institutions are in the buried emperor's palace, only the four of them know.The drawings are in the minds of the four of them.And the four of them would not reveal the secrets of the agency even to their own children.The secrets under the palace of the Holy Emperor and the Empress will be buried in this world forever with the passing of the four of them.

The worship ceremony has not yet begun, and many people at the scene are already weeping.The snowflakes fell, and even God came to meet the sadness of this day.As the only child born to the Holy Emperor by the Holy Empress, King Ning knelt in front of the huge tombstone of his father and mother, and put the diaries written by his mother and father to his father one by one into the brazier.Feng Xi, Hui'e and Chang Jing also put the clothes, bedding, etc. that had been sorted out from the master's bedroom of Xiangfu Palace into the brazier one by one.Next to the tombstone is the monument of the achievements of the emperor in his life and the monument of the mother's rites in the life of the queen.

"The Supreme Emperor... 俍俍..." The white-haired Shi Yu knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, "Old minister... misses you... misses you..."

"The Supreme Emperor... 俍俍..."

Shi Yu's thoughts aroused the thoughts of many people.The veterans who were already in their twilight years slumped on the ground feebly, crying out how they missed the Supreme Emperor and 俍俍.Three years later, they still couldn't figure out why the Supreme Emperor would go before them, and why he had to be buried.

Emperor Kang Jing was in tears.Every year on this day is suffering and grief.King Ning wiped away the tears on his face, and said in a low voice, "Father, Dad, if you have knowledge underground, please entrust your brothers with a dream. Tell them, you have already started a new life in another world, and you are in another world. The world has met and fallen in love again...Father, Dad, I miss you very much, Mother Jia, Father De, Mother Ming, Concubine Ximu, Father Zhao, Mother Chun, and the others... Brother Huang, Sister-in-Law ...everyone misses you very much...”

Nan Rong Ximata and Nan Rong Che wept silently and handed the diary to their parents (uncles).In the imperial mausoleum, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes howled, but it couldn't cover up the grief that filled the sky.

The imperial palace has been closed, and the pens, teacups and other items left by the emperor and empress in Xiangfu Palace will be sent to the ancestral temple.In the oil portraits of the ancestral temple, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen, one is majestic and the other gentle.The portrait of the Holy Emperor is from the Holy Queen, and the portrait of the Holy Queen is from King Ning.On the portrait of the Holy Queen, the Holy Queen is dressed as a queen.This was painted by King Ning for his mother and father at the request of Emperor Kang Jing after the death of the Holy Empress.The queen's attire is the regret of the Supreme Emperor for the life of the Holy Empress Zhuo Ji, and it is also the regret of Emperor Kang Jing and many others.

After the day's sacrifice, Empress Dowager Jia fell ill.King Wu and Shi Yu also violated the peace.Emperor Kang Jing sat in his room resting in a depressed mood, and Lin Xieshan came.

Seeing His Majesty, Lin Xieshan knelt down, and Emperor Kang Jing asked his attendants to help the old man up quickly.Lin Xieshan refused Xiao Ding's support, kowtowed his head, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a merciless request, and I hope His Majesty will grant it."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Old Duke, please tell me."

Lin Xieshan kowtowed again, and said: "I want to be buried next to the emperor's tomb in a hundred years. I will leave a last word. The funeral of the old minister doesn't need to be a big deal, and the tomb doesn't need to be too big. Just a pit , a mound of earth, so that the old minister can continue to be the courtier of the Supreme Emperor after his death."

Emperor Kang Jing took a deep breath.

Lin Xieshan kowtowed: "Old minister, I beg Your Majesty to give you permission."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Help the old man up."

Xiao Ding and the two eunuchs stepped forward to help the old Duke up.Emperor Kang Jing: "Old Duke, sit down."

Xiao Ding supported Lin Xieshan to sit down.Emperor Kang Jing raised his hand, and everyone in the room retreated, he said: "I understand the old man's feelings."

Sui Guogong, who was once in the prime of life, is now in his dying years.Emperor Kang Jing went on to say: "Father, you have ushered in a new era of the development of the Mata country and created a prosperous age of Yong'an. This prosperous age is also the loyalty and achievements of the old Duke, Xinglehou, and Uncle Wang...you people. "

Lin Xieshan immediately said: "The old officials and others are just following orders, and the wise one is the Supreme Emperor. The merits are due to the cooperation between the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager Shun."

Lin Xieshan said something he knew in front of the emperor.In fact, Emperor Kang Jing also knew that everyone in the court should know the achievements of Shun's mother and father, otherwise why would people like Lin Xieshan be so loyal to Shun's mother and father.

Emperor Kang Jing pondered and said: "The old Duke has made outstanding achievements in his life, and he has a deep friendship with the former emperor and his ministers. I will consider the old Duke's entreaties."

As soon as Lin Xieshan heard this, he immediately stood up and was about to kneel and kowtow, but Emperor Kang Jing hurriedly stopped him.

Not long after Lin Xieshan left, Shi Yu, whose body was out of harmony, came.As the number one fan of Empress Dowager Shun and the best president of the fan support club, Shi Yu's request is the same as Lin Xieshan's.After death, I want to be buried near the emperor's mausoleum, even if I die, I still want to continue to follow the Supreme Emperor and 俍俍.Emperor Kang Jing also said that he would consider it.After Shi Yu left, King Wu and King Xian came.

In the imperial mausoleum, King Ning applied for the emperor's brother to be the master, and the urns of Aunt Hua and Wang Bao were sent to the imperial mausoleum from the side palace of the imperial mausoleum.After Zhang Xian followed the two masters, his bones were buried in the side palace of the emperor's mausoleum.The main palace where the emperor and empress were buried in the emperor's mausoleum was closed and could no longer be entered.However, the side palace can be entered.The Supreme Emperor left a side palace where the other concubines were buried after their deaths, but the Empress Dowager Jia and the others did not want to disturb the peace of those two after their deaths.Zhang Xian was buried in the side palace where the attendants were buried.The so-called attendants are actually sculptures. Among these statues, there is only a pair of black coffins next to these statues. Now, two urns will be placed in them.

When King Ning came back from the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Ding hurried forward and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Ning, please go and accompany Long Live."

King Ning: "What's wrong, brother?"

Xiao Ding lowered his voice even more: "The old Duke, Xinglehou, and the two old princes came here and implored Long Live to allow them to be buried next to the emperor's mausoleum after their death. Long Live is very sad."

King Ning pursed his lips tightly and said, "I'm going to see Brother Huang."

Xiao Ding sent His Royal Highness Ning Wang there, and then opened the door.King Ning walked in alone, and Nan Rongke, Nan Rong Ximata, and Nan Rong Che who came back with him were waiting not far away.

Walking into the house, seeing the emperor sitting there with a sad expression, King Ning's nose was a little sore.He said: "Brother."

Emperor Kang Jing raised his eyes and sat up straight: "I'm back. Come here and have a rest, your face is turning red from the cold."

King Ning walked over, sat down beside Brother Huang, and hugged Brother Huang as he did when he was a child.Emperor Kang Jing hugged his younger brother: "You are so cold, are you ready?"

King Ning nodded: "Uncle Lin sent it in for me." Uncle Lin is Yi Lin.

Emperor Kang Jing: "They are the people who are close to Shun's mother and father. If they can continue to accompany Shun's mother and father after death, they will die without regret."

King Ning still nodded: "Well, this is also the wish of Wang Bao and Madam Hua."

Emperor Kang Jing took the initiative and said: "Lin Xieshan and Shi Yu came to me and said they wanted to be buried next to the emperor's mausoleum after death. I said I would consider it."

King Ning raised his head: "Brother, will you agree?"

When there is no one in private, King Ning's address for the brothers with the closest relationship is extraordinarily "civilian", but it also makes the brothers feel very caring.

Emperor Kang Jing: "My father abdicated. None of Lin Xieshan's important officials and veterans were greedy for power. I can't refuse only this kind of grandeur and heart. My father and my mother created a prosperous world for me, and made great achievements for me. Set an example. In the future when the crown prince ascends the throne, Lin Xieshan and the other veterans in the court will set an example. It's gratifying."

King Ning smiled: "Old Duke and the others will be very happy."

Emperor Kang Jing touched his younger brother's face: "They will be happy, but I don't know if Father is happy."

King Ning blinked, and laughed again: "That's right."

Before he was alive, the Supreme Emperor always disliked the group of followers who could not get rid of him wherever he went. If the Supreme Emperor knew that Lin Xieshan and the others would follow after his death, he would probably dislike him even more.

After laughing, King Ning persuaded: "Brother, mother and father and father may start again in another reincarnation world now. They know that you have been so sad for their departure, and they will feel sorry for them." King Ning thought After a pause, uh, father doesn't necessarily feel distressed, but father certainly does.

Emperor Kang Jing stared into his younger brother's eyes, and asked a question that he had suppressed for three years: "Wan Zhen, do you know why Shun's mother and father know so much?"

King Ning froze for a moment, his eyes clearly dodged.Emperor Kang Jing: "You know."

King Ning avoided his brother's direct gaze, his heart beating wildly.Emperor Kang Jing didn't ask, but said: "In the box left to me by Shun's mother and father, there is a letter and a key."

King Ning's pupils tightened, and there is a key?He looked back at his brother.

Emperor Kang Jing: "In Xiangfu Palace, there is a secret room. In the letter, Shun's mother and father told me how to enter that secret room. In the secret room, all the missing books written by Shun's mother and father are inside."

King Ning looked at Brother Huang and said, "I don't know about this."

Emperor Kang Jing: "What do you know?"

King Ning hesitated whether to say it, Emperor Kang Jing: "Do you know, the end of the world?"

King Ning took a deep breath: "Brother Huang! Did your mother and father tell you?"

Emperor Kang Jing: "What do you know?"

Dad told Brother Huang about the end of the world, and King Ning organized some words, saying: "Father said that his soul came from another world in the future after a thousand years... That world, the technology is highly developed. Later, the end of the world came... "

Emperor Kang Jing listened quietly, his eyes were deep.

"Father is the top brain power user. In order to protect the vaccine formula, he died with the zombies. After waking up, he became the newborn son of the Zhuo family in this world.

Dad was sent to the palace by Zhuo's family. Originally, he wanted to eat and wait to die in the palace, but he was accidentally discovered by his father, and then he left the West Third Courtyard and became his real servant.

Dad has always suffered from physical and mental disabilities, because in his original world, there were only men and women, and there were no brothers.So my father refused to have a child, saying that I was a fish that slipped through the net. "

Emperor Kang Jing hugged his younger brother again.The younger brother is not a fish that slipped through the net, but their precious treasure.

King Ning took a deep breath and said, "Dad always told me that death is a reincarnation in another world, because Dad is like this. He said, if he is gone, tell me not to be sad. Brother, you still I remember one time when I was chatting with my dad and I was in a bad mood, you asked me what was the matter, but I didn’t tell you, I just said that I had a serious talk with my dad?”

Emperor Kang Jing: "I remember."

King Ning: "That's when my father told me. He said that my father was getting old, and he made an agreement with my father. If my father left first, he would go with my father. He was afraid that he would not have time to explain the future. , so he told me in advance and gave me the box. Dad allowed me to be sad for a while, but don’t be sad all the time. Even if the emperor doesn’t order Dad to be buried, Dad will go with him. Dad said, his soul, in the In the hands of the royal father, in the next life, he and the royal father will definitely meet again. They will definitely love each other again."

Emperor Kang Jing: "It will definitely."

Speaking of this, King Ning was a little embarrassed: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Knowing what his younger brother was sorry for, Emperor Kang Jing said calmly: "The Queen Mother and the others all understand. If it wasn't for the generosity of his mother and father, if it were someone else, the Queen Mother and the others wouldn't say a good death, I'm afraid they would have been expelled from the palace long ago, and I would not What do you think about the position of prince. In this life, father, emperor and mother are in love, but they can't stay together forever. I also hope that in the next life of reincarnation, they can guard each other, and no one else will intervene."

King Ning hugged his elder brother: "Brother, thank you for your understanding."

Emperor Kang Jing: "Rationally, I am willing to believe what Shun's mother and father said. Emotionally, I cannot accept that they leave me so suddenly."

King Ning: "If the father and father were in bed for a long time, we would be mentally prepared, and it would be better. Father died suddenly, and father followed without leaving a word, so it was even more unacceptable. But, brother , father and father, why didn't they look forward to their next life. The universe may be composed of countless parallel small worlds. I prefer to believe that father and father are now in another small world, continuing another life."

Emperor Kang Jing hugged his younger brother tightly, closed his eyes forcefully, and opened them again, he said: "Wan Zhen, come back and see Brother Huang when you are free."

King Ning: "I will."

Emperor Kang Jing didn't ask his younger brother if he had inherited the supernatural ability of obedience to his mother and father, and King Ning didn't tell his brother his father's advice to him. In the future, he and Tianbao would not return to Mata if there was no new emperor's edict.Saying this now will only make the emperor sad and embarrass the prince.

After accompanying the emperor for a long time, King Ning said: "Brother, Che'er and I want to give Father and Mother a gift, come and see it tomorrow."

"it is good."

Emperor Kang Jing didn't ask what the gift was.

A minister wanted to see the emperor, so King Ning resigned.Leaving the emperor's place, King Ning took his son and nephew to visit the Empress Dowager Jia, and talked with the Empress Dowager Jia to comfort her.
