meet again

The days of kneeling to the spirit were extremely long and extremely tormented.

In the last few days, all of them had pale faces, red eyes, and could not straighten their backs when kneeling.Occasionally get up, swaying, walking floating.

Even the prince couldn't stand it anymore.Kneeling every day, eating cold food and drinking cold water.

Eunuch Yang felt sorry for his master, so he quietly asked someone to cook ginseng soup.When the prince was eating, he served it as a vegetarian soup.

The prince took a sip and looked at Eunuch Yang.

Eunuch Yang said in a low voice: "There are still a few more days, His Highness is in critical condition, so we have to make it through."

The crown prince had to take the lead in sending off the spirit for burial.The prince must not fall down.

The prince exhaled slowly, and drank all the ginseng soup in silence.

After drinking the ginseng soup, my hands and feet gradually warmed up, and my body regained strength.Finally survived the last days of the vigil. 49 days are over.Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second brother," King Qin's hair and beard was disheveled, his eyes were red, looking at him in distress, "I will send my father's coffin to the imperial mausoleum for burial tomorrow morning. Tonight, I will go back to my residence and rest for a while."

The plump King Zhao has lost a lot of weight. He has not eaten meat or vegetarian food for many days, his complexion is yellow, and his eyes are dull: "Brother said yes. I also want to go back to the palace, and I will enter the palace at five o'clock tomorrow."

The handsome and suave King of Han was not much better, he was unshaven, dirty and smelly.

The prince cheered up and nodded: "Kneeling on the 49th, everyone is very tired. Go back tonight and have a good rest. Tomorrow, we brothers will send the father to the imperial mausoleum together."

According to the funeral rules, all princes and grandchildren have to walk to carry the coffin.It will take five or six days at least to add burial once and for all.

As for the female relatives, they don't have to accompany them.

King Qin and others took their children and grandchildren back to their residences to rest.The prince, grandson, father and son also returned to the East Palace.This filial attire cannot be changed. After Emperor Long'an is buried in the imperial mausoleum, the filial sons and grandsons will replace all the filial attire and burn them in front of the emperor's tomb.At best, take a shower secretly and tidy up your grooming.

The princess looked at the thin and haggard prince, feeling distressed in every way, and reached out to caress his face: "Look at how thin you are."

The prince felt sorry for his wife just as much, and said in a low voice, "You have also lost a lot of weight."

The princess has always been a person who "don't care about common things".During this period of time, she had to stand out and got angry because of Man'er's affairs, and there was a trace of fine lines around her eyes.

"It's finally over." The husband and wife talked privately, and there was nothing to be taboo about.The princess murmured softly: "Ordinary people, keep vigil for seven days. We knelt for 49 days. It's really tiring."

"In the early morning of tomorrow, send the coffin of the emperor to the emperor's mausoleum for burial, and the funeral will be over."

The prince's eyes flickered, and he hummed: "These few days, you just stay in the East Palace. No matter what happens, don't leave the East Palace easily."

After a pause, he continued: "I will take half of the guards away, and the other half will stay in the East Palace. Also, I will also keep Feng San'er."

Feng San'er is the adopted son of Duke Yang, and he has been able to work as an errand for more than two years, and he is already the prince's capable confidant.

The princess was a little surprised: "Aren't you taking Feng San'er to the imperial tomb?"

The prince said casually: "There are many people available around me, and it doesn't matter if you have Feng San'er alone. The East Palace must keep a smart and reliable person. Feng San'er is just right."

Keeping Feng Shaojun in the East Palace is because Feng Shaojun is quick-witted and good at responding.Secondly, Feng Shaojun is a daughter after all, so it is not suitable for her to go to the imperial tomb.

Of course, the second reason is that it is inconvenient to export.

The crown princess trusted her husband the most, and when she saw that the crown prince had made arrangements, she kept silent.

……

On this side, Eunuch Yang is also carefully instructing Feng Shaojun: "His Royal Highness will keep you in the East Palace, you must cheer up and guard the East Palace. You must not let the Crown Princess and Grandson Concubine have any accidents."

Feng Shaojun is so keen that he can detect the subtleties as soon as he hears it: "Yefu means that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Eunuch Yang said indifferently: "Be prepared, be careful."

Feng Shaojun complied.

Eunuch Yang said again: "Your Highness is going to the imperial mausoleum, and he will order five hundred personal guards to accompany him, and Shen You is among them."

For the emperor's funeral, Shen You was not left out.

Feng Shaojun looked up at Eunuch Yang.

Since Eunuch Yang's city mansion would not reveal anything, he continued: "The East Palace also has five hundred personal guards. His Highness also left Commander Liao behind. If you need anything, you can go to Commander Liao."

Commander Liao is the commander of the Eastern Palace's personal guards. He is around [-] this year. He is highly skilled and very loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Feng Shaojun nodded again.

One should be asked, no need to elaborate.

After dark night comes a brand new day.At five o'clock, the prince led Qin Wang, Zhao Wang, and Han Wang out of the palace to help the emperor's coffin to the imperial tomb for burial.The civil and military generals of the third rank and above in the imperial court also accompanied them.

Accompanying him were [-] Emperor's personal guards, [-] Eastern Palace guards, and [-] imperial guards.

As the personal guard of the Eastern Palace, Shen You stayed by the prince's side every step of the way, even closer than the grandson Zhu Yun.

The heavy golden nanmu coffin was placed on a special carriage pulled by eight white BMWs.The funeral procession of thousands of people moved forward slowly.

After walking for a whole day, I only stopped twice in the middle, each time for only one stick of incense.Drink some cold water and eat some dry biscuits to wrap your belly.Even at night, it doesn't stop, just keep going.

After walking like this for three full days, they arrived at the imperial mausoleum.

When the coffin entered the emperor's mausoleum, the extremely tired prince let out a breath quietly.

Next, all the princes and grandsons went to change their filial piety clothes, burned them in front of the emperor's mausoleum, kowtowed their heads, and the funeral was over.On the way back, you don't have to walk anymore, you can take a carriage.

At this point, it was getting late.Tonight, I will rest in the imperial mausoleum for a night, and then set off to go back the next day.

There is a wing room in the imperial mausoleum for resting and changing clothes.The prince entered the wing room under the service of Eunuch Yang, and just as he unbuttoned his clothes, there was a change outside.

The prince's complexion changed suddenly, and the movements of his hands stopped suddenly, his gaze was like a gust of wind: "Yang Jinghe, go out and see what's going on!"

Eunuch Yang was not as agile as a 40-year-old man, so he pushed the door open and went out.As soon as the door opened, the sound of arrows swishing and screams poured into the ears.

Eunuch Yang's expression also changed.

The prince has been secretly guarding against King Qin and others making troubles.However, no one thought that they would choose to make trouble at this time.Emperor Long'an's funeral is not over yet!
Listening to the movement, there are more than one shouting and killing sounds, both in the east and south.That's where the Imperial Forest Army was placed.As for the five hundred personal guards of the Eastern Palace, most of them are in front of the eyes, guarding the Prince's side.

Commander Liao was left in the palace, and now, Shen You has the highest official position among the personal guards.

Shen Youjun's face was as cold as ice, and he drew out the long knife at his waist. With a slight movement of the long knife, a shocking cold light flashed, and he shouted angrily, "Protect Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
