Chapter 1149 Sensual dogs and horses (1)
When the emperor died, the whole country held a national funeral ceremony.

Sacrifice to heaven, earth, ancestral temples, and community rites.

The royal family paid filial piety to express their condolences. Because it was the official date, the coffin should not be kept for a long time. It was kept iced and moved to the mausoleum for burial after seven days.

During these seven days, the Southern Qin capital was plunged into a deep mourning, no weddings could be held inside or outside the capital, and no music could be heard.

Civil and military officials, princes and grandchildren, concubines and concubines, courtiers and family members, etc., were all sad.

Xie Fanghua has been living in Qin Yu's bedroom. During the past seven days, there were wailing sounds from all over the palace walls. Some people were real crying, some people were fake crying. The prospects of how many girls in the palace are bleak, and some of them are only in their twenties or eight years.

No one came to Qin Yu's dormitory to disturb her, Qin Yu was always busy and didn't have time to come back to the dormitory.

Except for Shi Hua, Shi Mo and others around her, she never saw anyone else.

Even Yan Chen didn't know where to go.

The only quiet place in the harem is now the former prince's bedroom.

Every morning, noon and evening, Shi Hua and Shi Mo boiled a soup and brought it. After Xie Fanghua drank it, he sat in the room facing the window.

A sitting is a day.

Seven days later, the emperor's coffin was moved to the mausoleum for burial.

Early in the morning, Qin Yu returned to the bedroom.

Xie Fanghua hadn't seen Qin Yu since he left the Emperor's bedroom that day, and now he was almost unrecognizable when he suddenly saw him.

He is dressed in filial piety clothes, his face is haggard, and his whole body is full of thick and heavy sadness. The whole person is much thinner. The clothes on his body used to be as gentle and elegant as jade, but now he is obviously thinner than the clothes, loose and loose, and thin. Bone sharp.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo greeted him out, and when they saw Qin Yu, they were startled, and hurriedly saluted, "May the emperor be blessed!"

"Exemption." Qin Yu waved his hand, "Where is Fanghua? What are you doing?"

"Miss hasn't left the room for the past seven days, she is recovering from her injuries." The two said in unison.

Qin Yu nodded and walked towards the door.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo opened the curtain first, Qin Yu stepped into the threshold, and saw Xie Fanghua sitting in front of the window at a glance, looking out, he smiled and walked in slowly, "I heard that you Stuck in the room for seven days?"

Xie Fanghua nodded, "Are you tired? How did you become like this?"

Seeing that she seldom cared about him, Qin Yu smiled a little more, and said in a gentle voice, "No one thought that the father would go so suddenly, and many things were not prepared. There are too many things to deal with when caught off guard. In addition, There was a war on the upper border, so..." He rubbed his forehead, "It just became like this, isn't it ugly?"

"It's not too ugly, it's just a little scary." Xie Fanghua smiled, saw him sitting over, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Qin Yu nodded, "After an hour, it will be an auspicious time to send the emperor's coffin to the mausoleum. I'll come and ask you, and you can go with me to see you off."

"Go and bring breakfast, and bring a bowl of the decoction I prepared to the emperor." Xie Fanghua ordered Shi Hua and Shi Mo to drink.

Shi Hua and Mo Mo responded and went immediately.

Xie Fanghua poured another cup of tea and handed it to him.

Qin Yu looked at her with warm eyes, exhaustion seemed to disappear all at once, took a sip of tea, and waited for her to reply.

Xie Fanghua said, "I will go to the mausoleum with you to see off the late emperor for burial."

Qin Yu put down the teacup, smiled and nodded.

Shi Hua and Shi Mo brought breakfast, Qin Yu and Xie Fanghua ate together, Qin Yu drank the soup, Xie Fanghua got up to change clothes.

For the emperor's funeral, it is natural to dress plainly and elegantly.

Xie Fanghua came out in a plain white dress, Qin Yu had no objection, and the two left the bedroom together.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, everything has already been prepared, just waiting for the auspicious time to send the emperor's coffin out of the palace to the mausoleum.

Civil and military officials, royal family members, courtiers and family members, and concubines in the harem all lined up on both sides, silently bowing their heads, waiting for the auspicious time.

The emperor's jade chariot has been prepared, as has the empress dowager's phoenix chariot.

After Qin Yu and Xie Fanghua arrived, everyone raised their heads together. When they saw Xie Fanghua beside him, they all lowered their heads silently, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Except for the queen mother and the British prince and his wife, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Excuse me." Qin Yu waved his hand and handed it to Xie Fanghua, signaling to follow her to the jade chariot.

Without any hesitation, Xie Fanghua put his hand in his, and boarded the jade chariot with him.

Seeing this, Princess Ying took a step forward, trying to stop her, but Prince Ying held her hand, signaling her not to move rashly.Princess Ying stopped in her tracks, looked at the jade chariot with the curtain falling, and sighed secretly.

"Auspicious time! Let's drive!" Someone shouted.

The emperor's jade chariot led the way, carrying the coffin, and all the civil and military officials followed the coffin and left the palace gate.

The common people along the street spontaneously knelt on both sides of the road, and the funeral procession hurried out of the city gate and headed for the imperial mausoleum.

The curtain in the jade chariot was blown up by the wind, faintly revealing Xie Fanghua's face sitting beside Qin Yu.

Ever since the crown prince brought Miss Fanghua back to the capital, although no one has commented, they have secretly speculated whether the crown prince and Miss Youxiangfu divorced because of Miss Fanghua. On the road, but everyone knows that she lived in the former prince's palace, and now she is burying the late emperor, and the new emperor personally invited her to go to the jade chariot for the late emperor's funeral. Although it has not been announced to the world, the implication here is, It is obvious.

Miss Fanghua was originally the little concubine of Prince Ying's mansion, and now she rides on the jade chariot with the new emperor after she announced to the world that she was dismissed.

Such a thing can be said to have no precedent in the history of Southern Qin Dynasty.

In ancient times, only emperors and empresses could share a chariot.

However, none of the Confucian and ritual-educated officials of the Manchu Dynasty raised any objections to stop this matter, which is rare in the world.

Because Qin Yu, the prince, has always won the hearts of the people, and because he solved the crisis of Lin'an City, he is highly respected by the people.The people along the street spontaneously shouted, "Go ahead, the former emperor, long live the new emperor, long live, long live!"

The shouts continued until they left the city.

The team left the city and headed for the emperor's mausoleum in Xishan, winding for more than ten miles.

The imperial mausoleum was not too far from the capital, but it was not close either. After walking for half a day, we arrived at the emperor's mausoleum.

After the procession stopped, Qin Yu and Xie Fanghua got off the jade chariot, and the guards of the imperial mausoleum opened the gate of the mausoleum, and the auspicious time had just arrived.

Qin Yu ordered to perform an etiquette.

After the Annunciation ceremony, Qin Yu brought Qin Qing and other princes to place the coffin on the precious bed in the underground palace of the mausoleum. Afterwards, the stone gate was closed, and the glazed wall was built to seal the entrance of the Jedi Palace.

After a short rest, the Yu Sacrifice was held again.
