Wei Wuhou

Chapter 629 The Emperor's Funeral

(Brothers, it is still updated so late, everyone should vote for it!!)
After meeting Ji Wanyue, Wei Wuji's life in Shangluo became more glorious. He went to the palace every day to wait for lunch to start, which became the time he was most looking forward to.

It was in this state that the whole wake-up process became more interesting, and time began to speed up relatively speaking.

In this way, the time came to the 12th day of April in the 16th year of Zhou Wangzhao (the [-]th year of Weihou), and it was time for the emperor's funeral.

However, Wei Wuji and other envoys no longer had to guard the cold mourning hall to live, which made them have a faint smile on their faces when they should have been greatly sad.

Although the Zhou Dynasty is declining now, the emperor's funeral is still grand, and it is no different from the specifications when the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world 200 years ago.

It's just that if the current Zhou family wants to maintain this scale, it has to devote all the power of the whole country to bear it.

Wang Jun was all dispatched to escort the entire funeral procession, plus various honor guards and ceremonies, the entire funeral procession had nearly 3 people.

And Wei Wuji himself was in the middle of this procession, and around him were envoys from various countries who came to mourn, and they all rode to follow the Zigong of the emperor.

Someone once joked that there were two most beautiful moments in Zhou Tianzi's life, one was the enthronement ceremony when he succeeded to the throne, and the other was the funeral ceremony before Wei Wuji's eyes.

In Wei Wuji's view, it is completely unnecessary to waste limited national power on a dead person, not to mention that the Zhou family at this time is no longer what it used to be.

But he still underestimated the extravagance of the Zhou family. When Wei Wuji really saw the huge underground palace of the emperor, he really realized what the emperor is.

The cemetery with a radius of more than ten miles taught Wei Wuji a real lesson. It turned out that a person's burial place can really be so big.

Sitting on the horse, looking at the various ceremonies going on in the distance, Wei Wuji couldn't help sighing: "Today, I really learned a lot!"

Originally, after saying this sentence, there should be no more content, but at this moment, a voice sounded in Wei Wuji's ear, saying: "If you have seen the cemeteries of other emperors in the Zhou family, you will not be so emotional!"

Wei Wuji turned his head to look, and found that it was Prince Chu Xiong Jun who spoke.Since the two broke up unhappy that time, they haven't even spoken to each other.

At this time someone was talking together, of course Wei Wuji would not raise an argument, so he calmly asked, "Why is this? Could it be that the cemetery of other emperors is even bigger?"

Xiong Jun nodded, and then said: "According to Zhou etiquette, the emperor's cemetery is five miles from east to west, and four miles from north to south...Eighteen miles in a week!"

Speaking of this, Xiong Jun couldn't help pointing to the cemetery in front of him and said, "Look for yourself, is this cemetery eighteen miles wide?"

Although it is impossible to measure it accurately, Wei Wuji can still make a rough estimate. The cemetery in front of him is not as big as Xiong Jun said.

Therefore, Wei Wuji couldn't help sighing: "The power of the whole country can't maintain the dignity of the emperor, this week..."

Wei Wuji didn't continue to say the following words, and Xiong Jun also understood what he meant.

Then Xiong Jun continued: "You're wrong again, it's not that the Zhou family can't maintain the dignity of the emperor, but that some people don't want to maintain this dignity..."

Wei Wuji couldn't help feeling interested, and asked, "Who?"

Xiong Jun pointed forward and said, "Of course it's the one in front, the new emperor!"

"Emperor Ji Zhao was seriously ill and couldn't take care of the matter, and the crown prince Ji Xiao started to control the court and announced his intention to reduce the size of the royal tomb!" Xiong Jun said calmly.

The story suddenly took a turn for the worse, and it was the intention of the new emperor, Ji Xiao, to reduce the size of the royal tomb.

Wei Wuji couldn't help but look at the new emperor in front of him, and saw that the other person's face was so dark that no one could see why.

"It seems that Prince Xiao from back then has to look at him with admiration now!" Wei Wuji exclaimed.

Over the years, not only has he been growing up, but Xiong Jun and Ji Xiao in front of him are also growing up, and even Tian Yuwen, who is far away in Linzi, will also grow up after this big defeat.

At this time, Wei Wuji couldn't help saying: "It seems that this new emperor still has expectations for Zhongxing Zhou's family!"

The meaning revealed in Wei Wuji's words was his disdain for the new emperor, and now there is still a chance for the Zhou family to make a comeback.

Sure enough, Xiong Jun sneered and said, "If Ji Xiao alone can turn things around, then the river must flow backwards!"

Wei Wuji couldn't help laughing, this Prince Chu is straightforward enough, and now he is on the land of the Zhou family.

But after thinking about it, Wei Wuji also felt that it was normal. Now that Chu State sent troops to attack Wei, it was just an excuse through the Zhou family.

The troops of the State of Chu came and went to and from the Zhou family, as if entering their own courtyard, so naturally they had no respect for the Zhou family.

At this time, Wei Wuji was also a little bit dissatisfied. Everyone said that Wei Guo was a tiger and a wolf, and he didn't respect the Zhou family... But in fact, it was the Chu people who repeatedly ran amok against the Zhou family.

Xiong Jun didn't expect Wei Wuji to have so many thoughts, so he heard him continue: "In this world, after all, the big country has the final say, in my opinion..."

When he said this, Xiong Jun turned around in a rare way, and said to Wei Wuji very formally: "Maybe in the next ten or even twenty years, it will be you and me who will dominate the ups and downs of the world!"

Wei Wuji couldn't help being stunned, and then wondered how this person would compliment him...

But looking at Xiong Jun's serious face, he realized that the other party was not joking, and that the other party really thought highly of him.

At this time, Wei Wuji felt a little embarrassed, and only heard him say: "You are the prince of Chu, you will definitely have a place in the future, but I am not sure!"

Xiong Jun was taken aback by these words, and then he sighed, the person in front of him is indeed not the rampant Mr. Wei Guo three years ago.

"Those brothers of yours are all incompetent bastards...the only one with some skills is the one from Xiangping Daying, but in my opinion, he is not your opponent, Mr. Wu Yang!" Xiong Jun said casually.

Wei Wuji couldn't help being a little speechless, Xiong Jun was a little uncharacteristic today, and even made him think that this guy had taken the wrong medicine.

In fact, Xiong Jun still has some words to say. He admires Wei Wuji's record in the north from the bottom of his heart.

Xiong Jun thought to himself that he could not do better than Wei Wuji even if he changed places with Wei Wuji, or he must have done better without him.

Wei Wuji didn't think about these things at this time. As a Wei countryman, he should protect the dignity of Wei country now.

Then he heard him say in a deep voice: "Prince Chu, how about my elder brother, please be careful with your words... The prince can also speak out!"

Wei Wuji's words were considered a threat, but Xiong Jun didn't care about it, because he thought to himself that he would not be wrong.

At this time, the lengthy funeral ceremony also came to an end, and the Zi Palace of Emperor Ji Zhao was also slowly moved to the underground palace.

The era of Emperor Ji Zhao, who has reigned for 12 years, will also end with the closure of the underground palace.

But for the whole world, the era of the five kingdoms' struggle for hegemony will continue, and there will be no change due to the death of the emperor.

After all, this world is the era of the strong, which is why Xiong Jun dared to speak about the general trend of the world, but dismissed the Zhou family.
