Chapter 982： Burial

Chapter 982 Burial

Just when Gu Zhang was about to send someone out to inquire, the young **** sent by Gu Fei came over and whispered: "The emperor passed away, and the princess asked the family to get things done quickly."

After sending the **** away, Gu Zhang and Gu Qing looked at each other. Gu Zhang said to the housekeeper: "Quickly, put away the red lanterns and other things at home."

“Tell the kitchen not to buy meat and fish for a month, and throw away any meat and fish at home as soon as possible.”

Gu Qing looked at his father and said, "Dad, my mother and siblings are in charge of these matters. We have to quickly change our clothes and enter the palace."

Mrs. Chen panicked, "Should I go?"

Gu Zhang waved his hand, "No, you should go when the funeral is held."

He commanded Mrs. Chen, "Hurry up and take your daughters-in-law to make some sets of mourning clothes so that we can wear them and enter the palace."

Ms. Chen hurriedly asked the housekeeper to open the warehouse and get white cloth.

Let Lanzhi and Li Chunhua take the needlework lady to start the work first.

Ms. Chen herself took Qin Xin around to see if there was anything in the house that was not in compliance with the rules and she had to put it away quickly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked around, and Qin Xin pointed to the gold hairpin on Chen's head, "Mom, we are looking everywhere, but we forgot to look at our own heads. We can't wear this gold hairpin anymore, we have to take it off. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took off all their jewelry and changed into plain clothes.

Two sets of mourning clothes were prepared first, and Gu Zhang and his son hurriedly put them on and entered the palace.

When the two of them entered the palace, Xiao Yu was holding tea in front of the soul. Gu Zhang and his son were kneeling outside the door, waiting until the ceremony was over before they could go in.

At this time, the palace was completely deserted.

Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white.

Even Xiao Chi changed into linen mourning clothes after breakfast and knelt before the spirit.

By 9 o'clock, almost all the princes and ministers had arrived.

Just after Xiao Yu had offered incense in front of his soul, Master Su suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Xiao Yu. He kowtowed several times and said, "A country cannot live without a king for a day."

“The emperor has left Hexi. Everything in the court is complicated. I sincerely ask the prince to take over the throne before his death.”

All the officials in the Qianqing Palace knelt down and kowtowed.

The king of Zhao and the king of Shu were stunned for only a moment and kowtowed to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu declined three times and his ministers begged three times before Xiao Yu accepted.

This is just a simple succession in front of the soul. The personal **** of Emperor Daxing presented the jade seal, and all the courtiers knelt down and shouted long live.

This simple succession ceremony is to rectify Xiao Yu's name and to facilitate the issuing of various instructions.

The official enthronement will not be held until the Daxing Emperor Zi Gong moves out of the palace, and then an auspicious date can be chosen.

Because the craftsmen worked day and night to make the coffin from golden nanmu, and it had to be painted forty-nine times. It would not be completed until the twentieth day, so there was no big coffin.

It is September now, and the temperature is not too low. A lot of ice cubes were used in the Qianqing Palace to barely keep the body of Emperor Daxing from rotting.

The funeral was not held until the twentieth day.

On this day, officials of the third rank and above, imperial edicts and imperial edicts of the third rank and above, and all the descendants of the clan went to the palace to perform the funeral ceremony.

The palace was filled with darkness and everything was human heads.

  Xiao Yu knelt at the head of the officials, and Gu Fei and the Queen Mother knelt at the head of the female family members. They knelt down, kowtowed and cried at the orders of the ceremonial officials.

The body of Emperor Daxing was put into a coffin, which was sealed with ninety-nine iron nails.

While the Qianqing Palace was holding a funeral ceremony, several eunuchs carried trays into the Yuntang Palace.

The **** unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read slowly: "By God's decree, the emperor has issued an edict that the concubine Rong is guilty of plotting evil. She will be deprived of her title and given a glass of poisonous wine."

“The concubine Zhang had a gentle and docile temperament. The late emperor loved her very much and ordered Zhang to accompany the late emperor underground.”
