Vol 7 Chapter 50: funeral


Except for important things that cannot be reached, such as Alexis, who commanded the army to fight in Dawny, most of the veterans, even if they were chief executives in the field, rushed to the mourning hall of Kunogolata for worship. There are also many middle and lower level bureaucrats of the kingdom who also come to mourn.
More is the people of Turui, who provided great help to the Turai people who were burned and lost their homes in the past, and in the next ten years or so, Both Kuno Gorata is the chief executive of the city. Turui can have today's prosperity. Kuno Gorata has a lot of contributions. How can the people not care about his kindness! Therefore, on this day, the Turui people did not talk about rugby competitions happily, nor did they go to restaurants to have a drink, but the worshippers outside the halls were always in constant stream.
However, although everyone is sad and solemn, there is almost no crying scene, which is relatively quiet. This is different from other Greek city-states. Funeral families in other city-state halls even hire professional crying people to add a sad atmosphere to the entire funeral process. According to the Hades Code, the soul of the Denia's deceased can enter the Elysee Paradise according to his performance before his birth. It is a beautiful paradise. It is a blessing rather than a suffering, so the relatives and worshippers do not have to Too sad, otherwise it is cursing the dead into the purgatory.
The ceremony to commemorate the remains continued for one day, and the next morning, the funeral was buried for Kunogolata.
The relatives put the remains of Kunogora into the raft, and there were also some sacrifices for their use in the final journey to Hades and Elysee. The raft was placed on the carriage, the carriage was pulled by four black horses, and the relatives were dressed in black crepe, guarded around the carriage, and slowly moved forward.
Behind the carriage is a member of the royal family headed by Daves, a high-ranking official of the kingdom, a veteran and his family. They are also wearing black crepe and look solemn. The people who heard the news consciously lined up behind, gradually merging into a long dragon that could not see the tail, so that the patrol station in Turui had to send more people to maintain order.
The funeral team was specially equipped with more than a dozen flute players and trumpeters. They played a solemn and solemn and melancholy elegy, rendering a solemn and mysterious atmosphere for the entire funeral procession.
In front of the carriage, Plesinas sang Haldis carols with more than a dozen black robes, sprinkled the streets with clear water, and led the funeral team to the hills of Pluto.
Eight guards of the court guards lifted the raft and took a steady step to a small temple on the side of the Temple of Hades, the of Hades - the death Tanatos The temple was built after the South Italian War.
There was an incineration tank in front of the temple. The guards put the raft into the pool, and the priests began to inject olive oil through the pipes around the incinerator.
The relatives of Kunostora, such as Sostatus and Deca Oklata, were mournful. Others also bowed their heads and prayed silently. Only Daves, wearing a white robe, walked to the incinerator and opened his arms. Shouting to the sky: "The great Hades, the Dionian citizen Kunogora, is once again in prison. I am your devout people, and I ask you to give him what he did during his lifetime. The well-being that should be enjoyed after death!"
After that, he took the torch from Plesinus and put it into the pool.
At the same time as the raging fire ignited, dozens of saints sang in unison, and the soft singing voice rang through the hills, washing the sorrows of the people.
The raft was turned into ash in the song, but the funeral was not over. The relatives of Kunogorata took out the unfinished bones from the incinerated ashes, wrapped them in new linen and put them into the pots. in.
Davers also spoke loudly to the people who came to the funeral about Kuno Gorata’s great contribution to the Kingdom of Dionia before his death. He also announced that the bust of the Kuno Gorata will be in the Goddess of Hades. The Pantheon of the Temple is with the Kingdom of Dionia! His ashes will be placed in the Temple of Death and be blessed by the underworld!
With the completion of these two things, the funeral ended.
Many veterans and bureaucrats are no longer comforting when they say goodbye to their relatives, but congratulate them.
Before, the veterans also participated in the funeral of Scommbras and Baalilipi, but the funeral of Kuno Gorata not only participated in the most people, but also enjoyed the glory after his death.
The ashes must be placed in the temple to be enjoyed by citizens who are loyal to the kingdom, diligent in their lives, and have enough merit. It is even harder to enter the Pantheon. It must be a great contribution to Diaonia and even affect the development of the entire kingdom. After entering the temple, it is also a glory to write a biography and a famous biography. Since the establishment of Dionia, only one of Heraclitus has been in existence for more than ten years, and now there is Kuno Gorata. For many veterans and bureaucrats, the funeral of Kunogora is their envy. And the goal of fighting for it, this is exactly what Dafos hopes.
For the ordinary people, they do not have such a big goal. The cremation of the main temple in Hades after death is their greatest hope, because the cremation of ordinary corpses is carried out in the ordinary Temple of Hades. Only citizens who have made meritorious deeds can obtain the qualification to be cremated in the main temple of Hades by applying.
The person who approves the application is not the Senate, but is decided by the priests of the Temple of Hades. The final decision is in the hands of Davis, because he is not only a king, but also a priest of the kingdom. The descendants of Hades. However, under normal circumstances, he let go of the decision of the priests headed by Plesinus. In the end, he can look at it. Only the important characters in the kingdom will need his decision to make a decision. Is it possible to enter the Hall of the Spirit, the Pantheon? Death Temple, wicked prison qualifications.
After the funeral of Kuno Gorata, the football finals continued and everything seemed to return to the past.
Only the veterans felt subtle changes. The president of the Senate’s rotating chairman added Anta Orris, and his seat moved to the central area of ​​the front row of the venue.
When Dionia was first established, the position of the rotating chairman of the Senate was the rotation of the veterans. It only played a role in maintaining the order of the venue, and there was no real power. After the South Italian War, Davers became the king. He did not let the veterans come to serve as the rotating chairman because of the "new veteran and too many egoes." Several veterans have taken turns to take up this position, usually for ten days.
At the same time, he also asked the Senate to give the rotating presidency more responsibility, so that they are responsible for organizing each meeting of the Senate, and the main topic of each meeting is decided by King Daves and the rotating chairman of the Duty. When Foss attended the meeting, he would upload it to ensure that the meeting was conducted according to the wishes of the king. In the absence of Daves, he had the right to guarantee the smooth running of the meeting, and even commanded the guards to dispel the veterans who interfered with the meeting, and only reported the results to Daves after the meeting.
It is precisely because of the increased power of the rotating chairman that this position has become an important indicator of the status of a veteran in the Senate.
Previously, the Diagonal Senate was the rotating chairman of Kuno Gorata, Cornelus, Sedore, Vesba and Lucias. Today, Kuno Gorata died, and Anta Orris filled the vacancy.
In addition, there is another change. At this time, while the Sicilian veterans such as La Odesian were guilty of dereliction of duty, Naxos, Sikuri, and Katana also had some bureaucrats involved in the incident and were traced. They were all recommended by the elders of these criminals. Therefore, Dafos took the opportunity to make a big leap in the Senate. He believes that the reason why the Kingdom’s bureaucratic management committee failed to make a good job in selecting the middle and lower-level bureaucrats is because it is not affected by too many other veterans in the Senate. Fair appointment of bureaucrats, and the appointment of low- and medium-level bureaucrats should not be the intervention of the Senate...
At the beginning of the establishment of the alliance, the duty of the bureaucratic management committee was to draft candidates for public officials in the cities of the alliance, which was finally approved by Daves, but each time the candidates in the list would be read out in the Senate, so that the elders could know. Sometimes they will object to some of them, the committee will make some adjustments with reference to their opinions, and Daphus will not do too much obstruction, because that is Davers control the Senate, so everything is under his control. under. In the past few years, with the expansion of the territory and the increase of bureaucrats, Davers has spent half of his time dealing with political affairs in the palace. The control of the committee cannot be as strict as before. EbookFREE.me~ This time, Dave Asked the office of the Royal Bureau of the Bureau of Management to relocate to the palace, and no longer discuss the issue of bureaucratic appointment in the Senate. Of course, the veteran objected, but he threatened to say: he is considering whether to let Seta against the kingdom. Officials from other cities also conducted investigations to avoid a recurring series of malfeasance cases like Sicily.
In the end, Davers’s proposal was passed and the committee moved to the second floor of the palace.
..........................................
On the second day after the funeral of Knogorata, Kerry Thorpe was received by Daves.
For Sparta’s request to
renew the covenant that was about to expire for another ten years
, Daves and the Senate had little argument and agreed to this request.
After all, the focus of the Kingdom of Dionia is in Italy, followed by Sicily, and there is not much interest in the Greek natives of the dispute, whether it is Davers or the veterans. The calm ten years ago gave Diaonia plenty of time to absorb the displaced, expand the population, develop agriculture, trade, and expand the land... They certainly want to continue to have such a peaceful surrounding political environment.
