Chapter 100: National funeral

It is not a surprise that the empress dowager died.
She was very old, she was not sober many years ago, and her body was good and bad. It was not tough. The ceremonial department had already made some preparations for the funeral in advance. Appropriately, it didn't seem to be panicked because I changed the Lishu Shangshu only years ago.
After the great funeral was struck, the entire beam immediately entered the state funeral period.
The emperor Yiliang ritually commemorated the 30th day of filial piety. The priests followed the sacrificial offerings.
At the same time, this incident also brought several additional consequences.
First of all, Xie Yu's case was determined to be a punishment, but due to the country's funeral, he was not executed, and he was sentenced to migrate to Qianzhou. Two months later, the Xie clan clan was stripped to a prince.
The marriage of Liang Chu was also suspended, and only exchanged the marriage contract.
This time Da Chu offered to marry, this was originally for the purpose of getting married, freeing up his hands to settle Burma, but now the other country is mourning. Except for self-defense in accordance with the ceremonial system, originally it was not possible to take the initiative to raise troops outside the country. , Prepare to pay condolences and return to China.
On the one hand, Princess Jingning grieves over the death of her grandmother, on the one hand, her marriage period is pushed by, and she is relieved. For a time, her heart is full of sorrow and joy, and she has mixed feelings, but she even cries to death.
Princess Yang, who lived in seclusion in the mountain temple, immediately set off to return to Beijing to keep filial piety after hearing the newspaper.
Both Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi were no longer knights and no companions, but the old man who had passed away had loved and cared for every junior for many years. Later, the identity was awkward, and the situation was quite different from before, but the two still accompanied their mothers to return to Beijing and lived in the Princess Palace of Linyang.
The party battle that was in full swing was temporarily stopped by the bell of great funeral.
During the thirty-day spirit-keeping period, all princes must stay in the palace, not allowed to return to the house, not allowed to take a bath, sleepless without bed, no food, no need to eat, daily kneeling on the knees, morning crying sacrifice.
Where did the crown princes and Yuwang who had suffered so much, at first started to support it, and then they gradually couldn't support it, as long as Emperor Liang was not there, the sadness on his face would be reduced more or less. Will do some small violations to please the master.
Because this filial piety is really harsh, if you do n’t want to do something, I ’m just afraid that the spirit-keeping period has n’t arrived and the person will die half a piece first, so it ’s still my body that matters.
Anyway, the two people violated the rules together, and no one could sue anyone. The ministers of the sacrificial minister did not dare to say that they were not.
At the beginning of the two of them, although the other princes were more convergent, they inevitably followed suit. Instead, they were the body of Jing Wangjun, pure filial piety, full of courtesy, and meticulousness. They were very different from the princes.
Because King Jing ’s throne is only the county king, he rarely stands with Prince and Yuwang on grand occasions. At this time, everyone stays in the same filial piety hall for thirty days. In the eyes of the high-ranking ministers, it was really a matter of opinion.
On the 30th day of filial piety, Mei Changsu did all in his room.
Although Dr. Yan knew that this would do great harm to him, but if he was not allowed to express his grief, he would be afraid of being depressed, and it would be even worse, so he could only take care of it.
Because he was only willing to eat white porridge, Li Gang and Aunt Ji tried their best to hide that he added some nourishing herbs to the porridge, and he was also careful not to be noticed by him.
Fortunately, Mei Changsu was sad and trance, but did not pay attention.
Because the big men were all circled into the palace, the entire imperial city was closed for day and night curfew, and the security was strictly guarded everywhere. I was afraid that there would be some cases of adultery and robbery during the funeral period. These 30 days have been very quiet. There were no unexpected incidents. Li Gang and the recently rushed to the capital of Zhenping, except Mr. Thirteen, the situation is still under stable control, trying not to let Shouxiao's patriarch take care.
After the expiry of the spirit-keeping period, Quan Yi left the funeral. This four-year-old, nearly 100-year-old empress dowager, was sent to Wei Ling where she was buried with her husband who had left her for more than 40 years.
The coffin drove out of Zhuque Avenue in Miyagi, mourning all the way, and paper money was flying.
The Su Mansion, which is a block away from the main road, can also clearly hear the high and sad music. Mei Changsu knelt down in the gallery to salute, his eyes red, but he did not cry.
After the funeral, the emperor returned.
But because everyone was tossing about, they just walked and walked through the field, and then came home to see their relatives and took a good bath and took a nap.
The Mei Changsu suffered from simmering in this month, but the disease was unavoidable.
Fortunately, Dr. Yan has been on the sidelines, not as dangerous as the previous few times. There are a few symptoms of blood, fever, cough, night sweats and dizziness. Taking a dose of medicine during the attack can also be stressed.
After an afternoon of lethargy, Mei Changsu was sober at night, and was sitting on the bedside, watching Fei Liu origami.
Looking away, I glimpsed a white post on the case, which was sent by Fei Qi, a special envoy from Yunnan, the chief of Nihuang County. He arrived yesterday and only wrote the words "please take care of your brother". Sad, he left aside, thinking that Li Gang and others did not dare to deal with it at random, so they always put it on the book case.
"Fei Liu, get the post."
The teenager fluttered and completed the task quickly.
Mei Changsu unfolded his post, stared at the hidden characters in the four beautiful shows, and appeared to be a half-day god. He also called Fei Liuzhan to come over, took off the veil, put the post on the flame and lit it, watching it slow Slow down to ashes.
"Burn?" Fei Liu blinked, a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter," Mei Changsu smiled faintly. "Some words can be carved in my heart."
The teenager leaned his head and did n’t seem to understand, but he was not the one who was troubled by this. He quickly sat on his bench and continued to fold up the paper man, probably because the paper man ’s head had been folded badly. Patiently, he lost his temper, stepped on the ground and stomped on his feet, shouting: "Hate!"
Mei Changsu beckoned, motioned him to take a new piece of paper and sat down by the bed, then folded it slowly and folded out a beautiful paper man with head and limbs, pull this hand and the other one will follow At the start, Fei Liu was very happy, a smile appeared on his face, and suddenly said: "Fool me!"
These two words are really confusing, but Mei Changsu understood it and looked at him blamefully, saying, "Brother Lin Chen taught you the method of origami, it's right. I didn't lie to you. Learn not to injustice others! "
Fei Liu looked at the paper man in hand and whispered, "Not the same!"
"There are many ways to make origami people.
What I would do was taught by my grandma ... As a child, she often gave me origamis, paper cranes or something, but I did n’t like it at that time and always wanted to slip away from her and run out to ride a horse ... "
"When I was a kid?" The teenager was very confused. He probably couldn't imagine Brother Su also being a kid, his mouth slightly open.
"It's a lot younger than we do now, Fei Liu ..."
"Wow?" Fei Liu marveled.
"Bring another piece of paper and Brother Su will fold a peacock for you."
Fei Liu was very happy. He picked a favorite piece of beige paper and blinked without blinking. He watched Mei Changsu's every movement very seriously.
When the peacock's tail gradually formed, Fei Liu suddenly turned around and shouted, "Uncle!"
Suddenly, Mei Changsu stopped his hand movements and commanded, "Fei Liu went to pick up the uncle."
"peacock!"
"When the uncle is gone, Brother Su will continue to give you a discount."
Because the beloved origami activity was interrupted violently, Fei Liu was very dissatisfied with the culprit. When he was brought in, the handsome face was as heavy as ink stains, and the cold in his body could almost send several hailstones I was puzzled, and I didn't know where I got this little guy again.
"Big Brother Meng sits." Mei Changsu handed the peacock semi-finished product to Fei Liu, let him play aside, he fell back, and sat up a little more, and hurriedly came to help him.
"Big Brother Mongolia has been tired for a month, so it's easy to change shifts. Miyagi is afraid that he is still busy. If he is free, why not go back home and rest?"
"I don't worry about you," Meng Zhi looked at him carefully under the light, and saw that she became thinner, and she couldn't help feeling sour, persuading, "Although you and the empress dowager have deep feelings, but she has enjoyed the age of aging, how can it be considered a mourning , You still have to take care of yourself. "
Mei Changsu lowered his eyes and slowly said: "You don't need to persuade, I understand the truth, but I can't help it ... Last time I saw my grandmother, she took my hand and called Xiaoshu, whether she really recognized it or not , Or screaming casually, in short, she must remember Xiaoshu in her heart, and then shout that name ... I always hoped that she could wait for me, and now I do n’t even have this thought ... ''
"Your feelings of admiration, the empress dowager and heroes are aware, and have long felt it.
She loved you the most since she was a child, and you must not be so sad for her.
I heard that when Princess Jinyang gave birth to you, her old man could not wait for you to enter the palace on the full moon, so she rushed to Lin Fu to see you in person.
When I was a bodyguard in the palace, I often saw the Empress Dowager carrying a group of children, but the one she liked the most was always you.
Although at that time, you were really naughty ... "
"Is it?" Mei Changsu's eyes flashed slightly, but there was a warm smile on his lips. "I have often remembered those things in the past few days ... Every time I went into trouble, my grandma came to rescue me, Later, Dad found out that as long as she did n’t hit me, Grandma would n’t intervene too much, so I thought about some punishment methods that do n’t hit me, but they ca n’t stand me more than blame ...

"I know I know," Meng Zhi also smiled nostalgicly, "Once, what happened to you ... Probably to break something important for the first emperor, Lin Shuai was very angry, obviously he was in the car On the hunting ground, he did not let you learn to ride and shoot with me. Instead, he stuffed you with a bunch of children, punished you for supervision, and allowed no mistakes. At that time, you were a big child yourself. "
Mei Changsu nodded his head, and was obviously also impressed with this matter. "At that time, I would rather run alone to fight a bear than to bring a bunch of noisy boys.
Jing Rui was still quiet, but that Yujin, running around didn't stop in half a minute ... "
"So you took the rope and tied him to the tree?" Meng Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Jing Wangyong, who was so kind to accompany you, said he was tied ..."
"But the person who punished the kneeling was me until the grandmother rescued me ... I felt very wronged at the time, and I thought clearly that Jingyan said why he still punished me ..." Mei Changsu smiled and smiled. And coughed again, only half a day before stopping, gasping and continuing, "Recalling these things, I felt like an ice ball roasted by the fire, warm for a while, cold for the moment ... "
"Xiaoshu ..." Meng Zhi felt a cramp in her heart, and wanted to persuade, but couldn't find the right words. The iron-forged man couldn't help but red eyes.
"Don't be sad," Mei Changsu said in return, comforting him. "Grandma is now settled in the earth. I have also passed the most sad days, and it is much better now.
It ’s just that people who can accompany me to talk about the old things in the past, and now you are the only brother, so it is inevitable to say a few more ... "
Meng Zhi sighed and patted him on the shoulder. "Actually, I am also very contradictory. I want to talk to you more and let you remember that you are not only Su Zhe, but also Lin Shu, but Fear of talking too much, but it will cause you to be sad.
"
"I understand your kindness," Mei Changsu raised his eyes, his eyes dark and deep, "But neither Lin Shu nor Su Zhe, it's not a piece of paper, so I can bear it. live.
There are so many things to do in the future, how can we fall down halfway? Brother Meng, I believe I must be able to reach the last step, and you have to believe me. "
When I heard him say "the last step", my heart trembled involuntarily, thinking about it and not knowing why. Busy Qiangyan smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you. With your talent and heart, why can't you do it?"
Mei Changsu smiled gently at him, leaned back on his back pillow, and coughed twice, urging: "Go back earlier, and accompany your husband-in-law.
You see, I ’m okay now, there is nothing to worry about. After one day of this shift, the commander should be busy again. "
Seeing that the hour was indeed early, and afraid of delaying Mei Changsu to rest, he stood up and said the last sentence: "There is a matter of urgency, and now you are most important to recuperate, other things must be left behind, Anyway, it ’s not urgent at this time, Xu Er's plan is more secure. "
Mei Changsu nodded, not allowing him to stay any longer, summoned Fei Liu to deliver guests, the teenager was anxious to break the peacock, and executed this instruction very efficiently, almost even pushing out and beating the loyalty. .
At that time, it was Erchang, Mei Changsu listened to the distant clappers on the street, stroking his filial piety, and tried to stabilize some swaying minds.
Now that the first step has been taken, then ... we must stick to the end ...
The teenager flew back and passed half a peacock.
In fact, only the last process is left, turn it over one by one, and then pull out the fan-shaped tail feathers, the shape and spirit will emerge.
In the exclamation of Fei Liu's joy, Mei Changsu slowly raised the peacock in his palm and muttered: "Grandma, have you seen it?"
