The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 133 Burial
"Impossible, you must be talking nonsense!" Upon hearing that Daiyu was helping, Madam Wang subconsciously began to refute.

Jia Zheng had already lost his patience with her, so he just sneered, "Believe it or not, I am here today to inform you that if the palace wants to investigate our family in the future, then you will take the responsibility."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Wang stared with disbelief.

Jia Zheng still wanted face after all. He looked away and continued, "This is the best way. Think about Baoyu. If you don't plead guilty, are you going to implicate Baoyu? Don't forget, he even married his family. It didn't work out."

When Mrs. Wang heard about Jia Baoyu, she immediately fell silent.After all, as a husband and wife, she knew Jia Zheng, so he couldn't say that.So obviously, that's what the old woman meant.Mrs. Wang secretly hated at first, and then smiled wryly. In the past, she used Baoyu as an excuse to make Jia Mu compromise, but now it is really a turn of events.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "I remember what the master said."

When Jia Zheng heard her agree, he felt relieved, seeing that she couldn't bear to see her silver-haired temples, he subconsciously comforted him, "Things may not end there, and you don't have to. So worried."

Mrs. Wang's heart was ashamed, she nodded numbly.Jia Zheng sighed, didn't say anything more, and just left.

……

For the next period of time, nothing major happened, and finally it was the day of Emperor Jiading's burial.

Everything in the palace was ready, first seventy-two people carried Zigong out of the Shenwu Gate.Then the royal family, officials, and common people came out in full force.In the funeral procession, the sixty-four banner guides walked in the front, holding up the soul banners.The second echelon is the emperor's Lubo honor guard team composed of [-] people. They hold weapons, flags, paper bindings, and burning.The bearers who carry Zigong wear filial piety uniforms and rotate in three shifts, each shift has [-] people, and each bears a weight of about [-] catties.Behind the Zi Palace are the heavily armed Dragon Guard soldiers, and finally the civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor.

In the funeral procession, there are also a large number of monks and Taoist priests. They are dressed in cassocks, holding law enforcement weapons, and constantly chanting sutras.The entire funeral procession stretched for more than ten miles, from the palace to the mausoleum, and reed halls were set up along the way for the funeral procession to rest.This funeral journey of hundreds of miles can be described as protracted.

The days of the emperor's burial were all auspicious days calculated by Qin Tianjian in advance, so although the whole team walked for five full days, they were still orderly.Compared with other people, Mu Xu is much busier. He is not only responsible for guarding Zigong, protecting the safety of the emperor, his relatives, civil and military officials, but also martial law along the way to prevent the common people from disturbing him. Xu was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink his saliva.

Fortunately, there was no surprise and no danger along the way, and finally arrived at the mausoleum of Emperor Jiading.Construction of this mausoleum began at the beginning of Emperor Jiading's accession to the throne, and by the time of his death, only half of it had been completed.In the end, there was no other way. In order not to delay the auspicious day of the burial, the Ministry of Industry had to hire [-] civilians who worked day and night to complete the construction a few days ago.

The burial process after entering the mausoleum area is relatively simple. The funerary objects will be placed in the mausoleum in advance.The specific procedures of this stage are usually not recorded in the history books. Of course, this is to prevent the emperor's tomb from being stolen, and it is usually carried out in secret.

When Emperor Jiading was officially buried, the whole team speeded up a lot in vain without the encumbrance of Zigong when they returned, and they returned to Shenjing City in less than three days.Mu Xu personally sent all the nobles who attended the funeral in the palace, apologized to Tu Zhen, and left the palace gate.

After he walked out of the palace, he stretched his body and let out a long sigh of relief. He was quite tired these days, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.He had already made up his mind that once the enthronement ceremony of Tuzhen was over, he would formally hand over the current errand. At that time, he would only have the post of commander of the Dragon Guards on his body, and it would be easy in the future.Speaking of which, he has traveled through time for so long, but he really hasn't experienced much. The decadent life of the princes and grandchildren in ancient times is quite yearning when he thinks about it sometimes.

Mu Xu thought wildly all the way back to his palace.He went to his yard first, took a hot bath under the service of Yinglian and the others, changed into his normal clothes, and then went to pay his respects to his grandmother.

As soon as he arrived outside Songhe Courtyard, he heard yelling and shouting from inside. Mu Xu carefully identified, besides his own sister, there seemed to be the girl Tu Ying'er.He couldn't help but wonder why this girl is here.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, he saw two girls playing and fighting with each other, while his grandmother was sitting on top, looking at them with a smile.It was Chuntao who was sharp-eyed, the first to see Mu Xu coming in, and immediately shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is back!"

Seeing that his brother hadn't come back for many days, Mu Tong screamed excitedly, and immediately left Tu Ying'er behind and rushed over.Mu Xu touched his younger sister's hair with a smile, and seeing Tu Yinger's unhappy face, he couldn't help but joked, "Yinger, what's wrong with you, you can hang a bottle of oil on your mouth."

Tu Ying'er snorted, "Tong'er is not loyal enough. As soon as my cousin came back, he left his old friend aside. Of course I will be angry."

Everyone in the room was provoked to laugh by her words, and she was even more angry. Mu Tong hurried to her side again, took her hand and said, "Okay, Sister Ying'er, it's my fault, how about this..." I don't know Mu Tong leaned on her ear and said something, and Tu Yinger nodded excitedly.

Seeing that the two little girls were having a good time, Mu Xu ignored them and walked up to the grandmother to say hello to her.

Concubine Zhang took his hand, sized him up carefully, and sighed again and again, "Oh, look at you, why have you lost so much weight? This is not okay, you have to make up for it later."

Mu Xu didn't argue, and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma. In the next few days, except for the new emperor's enthronement, I will be free for the rest of the time."

"It's more or less the same." Concubine Zhang smiled with satisfaction. She wanted to say something more, but she saw Mu Tong and Tu Ying'er holding Mu Xu's arms from left to right. She could only shake her head and look at these two ghost girls. What's the matter again.

Mu Xu looked at the two people hanging on his hands, and said helplessly, "Tell me, what do you want to do for brother?"

The two girls looked at each other, and Tu Yinger said, "Cousin, I heard you just said that you have been free recently?"

Seeing Mu Xu nodding, the girl rolled her eyes and continued, "Then can you take Tong'er and me for a walk in the street? We've been in the mansion every day recently, and we'll forget what it's like outside." He also showed a pitiful expression.

Mu Xu didn't say yes, but instead asked her, "I haven't asked you yet, why are you in our house, aren't uncle and aunt worried?"

Speaking of this, Tu Ying'er became proud, and she raised her chin and replied, "Father and brother are busy recently, and mother and concubine don't have much time, so I said I would come to my cousin's house to play, and they naturally agreed." gone."

"Then it's too early for you to be happy. Uncle and cousin have finished their work today, and they will definitely arrest you tomorrow at the latest. I think it's impossible to go shopping in this street." Mu Xu said intentionally.

"Ah!" Tu Ying'er was dumbfounded. Seeing that the little sister was not strong enough, Mu Tong went out in person, "Brother, you must have a solution, right? Go and talk to your aunt and the others so that sister Ying'er can go back a few days later. ,is it okay!"

Tu Yinger's eyes lit up, and together with Mu Tong, she took Mu Xu's hand and acted coquettishly.Mu Xu was so entangled that he had no choice but to smile wryly, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you guys, so why don't I agree?"

"Yeah!" The two girls let go of Mu Xu and danced happily.Concubine Zhang got a headache from the quarrel, and hurriedly said, "Since your brother agreed, let's go out and play, grandma and brother have something to talk about."
