Chapter 1790 The era of Lord Yongzheng is here

The majesty, magnificence, and solemnity of the underground palace are still very shocking.

Because the mausoleum of Emperor Kangxi was stolen three times, and the damage was so severe that it was very difficult for archaeologists to even conduct research. In order to prevent further damage, the country has completely sealed the tomb.

So in modern times, Gu Youran was not able to enter the underground palace to see it with her own eyes, she only saw the Dingling Tomb of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

It feels like the geomantic omen is better if it is built in the middle of the mountain, and the rest is not worth seeing. It may be because all the gorgeous funerary objects have been stolen, so Dingling is left with a piece of tranquility.

The mausoleum of Emperor Kangxi is in the shape of a semicircle as a whole, with those with high status in the front and center, and those with low status in the back.

Like all cemeteries, the mausoleum is very quiet, only the crisp chirping of birds can be heard, it is very quiet and pleasant.

Not everyone can enter the core of the underground palace. The funeral procession is only allowed to go to the periphery, and they are not allowed to enter again. They have to cry outside.

The custom before the Manchus entered the customs was cremation rather than burial. Even Emperor Shunzhi died of an illness, so he was cremated after his death. Now the ashes of Emperor Shunzhi are buried in the Xiaoling Tomb of the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty instead of his body.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, starting from the Kangxi period, it gradually merged with Han culture. Therefore, after Emperor Kangxi came to power, the original cremation customs of the Manchus were changed, and gradually changed to the burials advocated by the Han people.

In his life, Lord Kangxi was the first to do so in many aspects, and now even the way of burial is the same. He is the first emperor in the Qing Dynasty not to be cremated.

Gu Youran couldn't see how the ceremony inside was carried out in the end, and faced the majestic building complex with everyone, feeling the last glory of this great emperor.

The main hall in front of the mausoleum is the largest of the mausoleum ground buildings. It was called the Lingen Hall in the Ming Dynasty and is now called the Longen Hall. Only the hall of the emperor can be called the Longen Hall, and the concubine’s bed is called the Xiangdian. Wangye's garden is called Xiangtang.

The Long En Hall of the Grandfather in front of you is particularly magnificent, with double eaves on the top of Xieshan Mountain and five rooms wide. On the platform in front of the hall, there are bronze tripods, bronze cranes, and bronze deer, surrounded by bluestone and white railings.

Some of the back ones are single-eave Xieshan tops, five or three rooms wide, and some have corridors.

It looked very majestic and solemn.

Gu Youran looked up at the beast on the eaves, and felt that the dust of Lord Kangxi was finally settled here.

What he left behind was a feudal empire with a vast territory and a period of rapid rise.

The era of Lord Yongzheng has come.

My fourth master, are you ready?
Still the same sentence, no matter what, I will help you in the same boat.

……

After the holy grandfather was carried into the underground palace, the tomb was sealed.

Immediately, the officiant ceremony was held in the Long En Hall.

The subject of the topic is to write the tablet, which is inscribed by two university scholars after kneeling and prostrating three times. Then, they put the written tablet on the seat and offer incense and scriptures.

After the ceremony, the god tablet was escorted back to Beijing by the emperor and ministers, and placed in the Taimiao on the east side of the Forbidden City.

So far, the funeral ceremony has come to an end.

Even though Gu Youran followed him for a while, she didn't have time to say a word to Fourth Master, and she didn't even look at Yaoyao.

Across those clans and ministers, it was as if thousands of mountains and rivers were separated.

It was the first time that Gu Youran felt the fourth master's uneasiness after he ascended the throne. I'm afraid that such restraint by rules will be indispensable in the future.

She understood that after entering the palace, she would be different from before. Even if the fourth master pampered her again, she would have to follow many rules, otherwise those old ministers' spitting stars would drown her.
