Chapter two thousand and seventy-seven into the coffin
Time flies so fast that it has come to the time when the old emperor will be laid to rest as calculated by the Qin Tian Jian. The little princess and the old prince have already changed their clothes and walked into the Qianqing Palace again. Even Zeng Yi and the others have their heads tied with white robes. Cloth strips. In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's queen, concubines and others were still crying in front of the emperor's corpse.
The old prince sighed, stepped forward and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come!"
As soon as the old prince said these words, the concubines of the old emperor cried even more sadly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The old prince turned around and motioned to the maids and eunuchs next to him. Several maids and eunuchs immediately helped the queen and the concubines, while the old prince took the little princess and began to bury the emperor.
The emperor's burial posture is different from that of ordinary people. Instead of leaning forward, he lies on his right side. His right arm is bent at the elbow and his hand is placed on the side of his head, forming a bucket shape. The whole body looks like a Big Dipper. This means , the emperor did not die, but took the Beidou Emperor's chariot to ascend to heaven and traveled a long distance. Therefore, the emperor's death is also called "Da Xing", which means that the distance traveled is extremely long.
The emperor's burial consciousness was very complicated and cumbersome, but Zeng Yi didn't care too much. His attention was all attracted by the treasures buried with him in the emperor's coffin. Zeng Yi didn't know about the other burial objects. Zeng Yi became extremely jealous when he saw the burial objects found in the old emperor's coffin.
"Made, what is that? The legendary white jade cabbage! Damn it, the one next to it is Jade Ruyi! And the shiny golden one, it must be inlaid with gems!" To be honest, it was during the time of encoffining. Internally, Zeng Yi actually had an idea in his mind to dig the emperor's grave in the future! But Zeng Yi also knew that the Central Plains was different from the island country. The royal family in the Central Plains really controlled the country. On the surface, they guarded the ancestral tombs. There are thousands of elite troops, and there are probably experts stationed behind the scenes.
The very tedious burial ceremony was over, and the emperor finally lay in the coffin made of golden nanmu. However, the emperor's funeral had just begun. Only then did Zeng Yi know that on the day of the emperor's death, After setting up all the records and the grand mausoleum, the Daxing Emperor's Zi Palace was placed in the high-ranking officials, kings, dukes, princesses, and other high-ranking aristocrats, and they were allowed to go home to fast. Of course, now that the royal family has withered, the direct descendants Only the little princess and the old prince who succeeded to the throne are left. In their current condition, they cannot go home to bathe and fast.
Ministers and officials from various government ministries and agencies must stay together in their own yamen dormitory to fast and are not allowed to go home. As for idle officials, they must gather at the Meridian Gate to fast and stay. After the fast period, civil and military officials below the king are not allowed to have fun, and are prohibited from wearing mourning or marrying. Marriage activities. The soldiers and civilians in Beijing must take off their crowns and tassels and wear plain tassels for twenty-seven days. They are not allowed to marry within one month, are not allowed to have fun within a hundred days, are not allowed to slaughter for forty-nine days, and are not allowed to do so for twenty-seven days. Be sure to pray and offer sacrifices.
If according to the regulations, Zeng Yi, as a third-grade Yuan Dynasty, needs to go to the Yamen of the Duwei Mansion to bathe and fast. However, as the little princess and the most trusted person, Zeng Yi is the busiest at this time. How can he return to the army? Fasting in Duwei Mansion.
After the edict was read, the news of the emperor's death quickly spread throughout the capital, and spread throughout the Central Plains at an extremely fast speed. The ordinary people in the capital were all panicked. Being in the capital, they were used to seeing changes in imperial power, and they all knew about it. Every time the imperial power changed, there was bloodshed. These ordinary people did not need orders from the court. They did not dare to go out until the situation was unclear.
Players, on the other hand, have no worries. There are even some curious guys who are still asking when the emperor will be buried. On the one hand, they want to see the emperor if they have never seen the funeral. On the other hand, they are actually looking for the emperor's funeral objects.

With the wealth brought back by the army, the origin of the wealth can be known with a little guessing. This is why there is a rumor in the world that Zeng Yi and the others made a fortune by robbing tombs.
It was also because of the example set by Zeng Yi and the others that the players immediately started thinking about it. According to reports from the imperial imperial guards, the guards of the Imperial Tomb had killed no less than dozens of sneaky people in the Jianghu in the recent period! The Imperial Tomb
It was heavily guarded and players could not dig it. The ancestral graves of some wealthy families were in trouble. Players even later extended their reach to the graves of the ancestors of Jianghu sects. According to rumors in the Jianghu, a player dug the grave of the ancestor and got a secret book.
, although he was later wanted by the sect and chased by top-notch masters, the consequences were ignored by many players. Anyway, in recent times, whether it is the imperial tomb, the ancestral graves of a wealthy family, or the tombs of the predecessors of the sect, they are all very dangerous!

However, abnormal situations still occurred in some places. The Northern Army reacted most fiercely. Although the hardliners of the Northern Army stationed on the northern border were trapped in the island country, there were still some among the Northern Army who had many concerns about this.
Some people with strong opinions even began to propose going to Beijing. However, these people and the majority of the troops were captured by the moderate faction in the Northern Army. The moderate faction finally got in touch with the little princess, and the little princess continued
It is an established fact that they will never be dragged into it by the hardliners.
There was also some chaos in the south. On the day when the news of the death of the emperor came, traces of some cults appeared in the south. These cults began to spread rumors in the south that the world was about to be in chaos. Fortunately, the court was well prepared and Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of the south,
The Shenhou immediately began to investigate and hunt down those evil cults. Basically, as long as Zhuge Shenhou was stationed in the south, these evil cults would not be able to make any big waves. Even Zhuge Shenhou was interested in taking advantage of the emergence of these evil cults, designed to lure them out, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
