In an instant, in this gloomy and cold majestic underground palace.
The old man's words directly made Zhu Yunxi's hair stand on end.
He understood what the old man meant, and he even knew what the old man wanted.
He loves the glorious Ming Dynasty, but he also knows that there are things hidden in the depths of the Ming Dynasty that are deeply disgusting and even unspeakable.
In fact, this phenomenon is not only limited to this era, but has appeared endlessly throughout history.
People die!
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of sacrificial burial, but it has gradually declined since the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, it has recovered from the Liao, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties. Until the Qing Dynasty, the Emperor Shunzhi buried more than thirty concubines.
People were strictly prohibited until the Kangxi Dynasty.
The most criticized aspect of the Ming Dynasty is its burial practices!
That is the cruelest way to force a living person to follow death.
The reason why Zhu Yunxi didn't particularly like his fifth uncle Zhou Wang Zhu was like this. After Zhu's death, his mausoleum formed a ring, and the periphery of the underground palace was surrounded by tombs of the same size as each room. Among them, the woman who was buried was
The youngest is only fourteen years old.
Emperors Hongwu and Yongle were buried with many palace officials, including Renzong and Xuanzong, until the Yingzong ban.
In fact, it was the eunuchs and maids who served the prince Zhu Biao after his death...
Now, now, right now.
However, the old man suddenly brought up this matter very abruptly, which made him frightened and caught off guard.
"Um..." Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and then said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you today? Regarding the invisible matter, you..."
"At our age, we are buried up to our chin. If we go one day earlier or later, some things will not be explained clearly. We are afraid that when the time comes, we won't be able to say it even if we want to say it!" The old man sighed slowly, "We also know that when a person dies, he is dead.
, there’s no fucking next life, no fucking hell there is the underworld!”
"But, this guy gets more and more confused as he gets older! We are also confused, because all we think about are these things all day long!"
It is estimated that the old man was stimulated by the news of Fu Youde's death. In the past few years, Wang Bitang, Fu Youde, and some other founding heroes have passed away one after another. The old man suffered several serious illnesses one after another, and his energy was no longer what it used to be.
"Grandpa Huang, don't think so wildly..."
"We are talking to you about business!" The old man looked serious and looked at Zhu Yunxi, "Grandson, even if we die, you will still listen to me, right?"
Zhu Yunxu's heart was full of complex emotions and contradictions, and he did not dare to look into the old man's eyes.
"After we die, those who have never given birth to children!" the old man continued, "if they stay in the palace, they will also go to the cold palace..."
"Actually, we already have a posthumous edict on this matter. But we are afraid that you will stop me when the time comes, so I want to make it clear to you now!" The old man continued, "Grandson, you have to make me feel at ease regarding this posthumous matter!
"
The old man is right. If that day comes, if people are really forced to die for burial, it's okay if Zhu Yunxi doesn't know, but if he knows, he will definitely not allow it.
This is not a matter of filial piety or not, but...this matter actually has nothing to do with filial piety.
If they are forcibly involved, it will not even be regarded as foolishness and filial piety. Moreover, it will leave a big stain on the old man, allowing future generations to ridicule and curse him.
Suddenly, the old man became angry and said, "You are just like your father back then. When you were a child, you were sensible and obedient, and your mouth made people happy. When you grow up, you start to have good ideas and support us!"
Seeing Zhu Yunxi continue to lower his head, the old man took a few steps forward and whispered, "It's not like he died in vain. Those who follow us and have brothers and nephews at home can be promoted to the Jinyi Guards and be rewarded with official positions. They can be given money.
field!"
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi raised his head and rejected the old man for the first time in his life. "Can you let your grandson think about it first? My grandson suddenly heard this and was a little confused!" As he said that, he looked around and continued,
"Moreover, I am still saying here that my grandson is not at ease!"
"What's so unreliable?" The old man's words turned out to be soft. "Dasun, are you just looking at your grandfather and me, alone over there?"
People are so contradictory when they get old. Just now they said they didn't believe there is another world, but now they are afraid of being alone there.
Zhu Yunxi persuaded with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, you have already said that when you go over there, you want to see the emperor's grandmother, your father, and the concubines who have been away for several years..."
Suddenly, the old man's expression became extremely complicated, "We have killed too many people, and we are afraid that by then, your grandmother and your father will not be in the same place. By then, we will not be able to see them, and there will be no one around us.
We are alone!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi felt a little heartbroken.
Burial is a symbol of the supreme power of emperors and generals who transcend the human world.
But burial is also the fear of death.
The old man in front of me is extremely real at this moment.
"You are the emperor, how could you..."
"Emperor?" The old man laughed self-deprecatingly, "My great grandson! During the Qin Dynasty, some people said that princes, generals, and ministers have the right to live in peace! During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, some people said that the emperor was the one with strong soldiers and horses!"
"Being appointed by Heaven is just to fool ordinary people! When you become an emperor, you crawl out of the dead and kill all the opponents. You are killed by murder, not dropped from the sky!"
As he said that, the old man let out a long sigh and said, "We know you are soft-hearted, so I won't force you anymore. I'll let others handle this matter quietly when the time comes."
"It's not that my grandson doesn't listen to you!" Zhu Yunxi would never allow human death.
He said, "Look, don't you want your grandson to be a benevolent king? If your grandson...is it still benevolent?" Then he looked at the huge coffin not far away.
"Besides, the Imperial Grandmother is listening. She is always charitable when she is here."
"Yes!" The old man also turned his head, looked at Queen Ma's coffin, and whispered, "If I tell you this, if my sister knows, she will scold me in the future!" He said with a grin, "We will spend the rest of our lives.
, I’m not afraid of anything, I’m just afraid of your grandmother scolding me.”
"Tsk, tsk, when she scolds people, she can scold them to the point of losing their souls, and she can scold them to the cracks in the ground!"
Seeing that the old man's attitude had softened, Zhu Yunxi quickly said, "Grandpa Huang, let's go back!"
"Stay a little longer!" The old man looked around again, "This is a rare occasion!"
With that said, the old man slowly walked towards Queen Ma's coffin with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, Park Bucheng moved a chair and followed him.
"Sister, are you cold?"
The chair appeared silently behind the old man. He sat down and spoke slowly in a rare tender voice.
"We sent someone to give you new clothes, don't be reluctant to wear them!"
"You are the queen and our daughter-in-law. I am conquering this world so that you can enjoy your happiness, isn't it?"
"Be diligent and thrifty all your life, don't treat yourself badly anymore. Dress nicely. Only when you dress nicely will you look handsome!"
"You must be lonely in this underground palace on weekdays!"
Zhu Yunxi suggested that when the old man spoke, the emotions in his eyes were very vivid.
"We also know that you are lonely, but this is our home and we cannot let outsiders in."
"It's like the new house we had when we got married. It could only have you and me!"
Having said this, the old man's body moved forward slightly, and his palms gently touched the cold coffin.
"Hey, when we were young, we were always fighting outside and we asked you to guard us!"
"Now that I'm old, you have to stay and wait for us. It's hard on you!"
