Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm - Chapter 982: Burial

Just as Gu Zhang was about to send someone out to inquire, the young eunuch sent by Gu Fei came over and said in a low voice: “The emperor has passed away. The princess asked the family to get things done quickly.”

After sending the eunuch away, Gu Zhang and Gu Qing looked at each other. Gu Zhang said to the housekeeper: “Quickly, put away the red lanterns and other things at home.”

“Tell the kitchen not to buy meat and fish for a month, and throw away any meat and fish at home as soon as possible.”

Gu Qing looked at his father, “Dad, my mother and siblings are in charge of these matters. We have to quickly change our clothes and enter the palace.”

Mrs. Chen panicked, “Should I go?”

Gu Zhang waved his hand, “No, you should go when the burial is held.”

He directed Mrs. Chen, “Hurry up and take your daughters-in-law to make some sets of mourning clothes so that we can wear them and enter the palace.”

Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked the housekeeper to open the warehouse and get white cloth.

Let Lanzhi and Li Chunhua take the needlework lady to do it first.

Mrs. Chen herself took Qin Xin around to see if there was anything in the house that was not in compliance with the rules and she had to put it away quickly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked around, and Qin Xin pointed to the gold hairpin on Chen’s head, “Mom, we are looking everywhere, but we forgot to look at our own heads. We can’t wear this gold hairpin anymore, we have to take it off. “

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took off all their jewelry and changed into plain clothes.

Two sets of mourning clothes were prepared first, and Gu Zhang and his son hurriedly put them on and entered the palace.

When the two entered the palace, Xiao Yu was holding tea in front of the soul. Gu Zhang and his son were kneeling outside the door, waiting until the ceremony was over before they could go in.

The palace was completely deserted at this time.

Everywhere he looked, there was a vast expanse of white.

Even Xiaochi changed into linen mourning clothes after breakfast and knelt before the spirit.

By nine o’clock, almost all the princes and ministers had arrived.

Xiao Yu had just laid incense in front of his soul. Master Su suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Xiao Yu. He kowtowed several times and said, “A country cannot live without a king for a day.”

“The emperor has left for the west. Everything in the court is complicated. I sincerely ask the prince to take over the throne before his death.”

All the officials in the Qianqing Palace knelt down and kowtowed.

King Zhao and King Shu were stunned for only a moment and kowtowed to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu declined three times and his ministers begged three times before Xiao Yu accepted.

This is just a simple succession in front of the soul. The personal eunuch of Emperor Daxing presented the jade seal, and all the courtiers knelt down and shouted long live.

This simple succession ceremony was to clear Xiao Yu’s name and to facilitate the issuing of various instructions.

The official enthronement will not be held until the Daxing Emperor Zi Gong moves out of the palace, and then an auspicious date can be chosen.

Because the craftsmen worked day and night to make the coffin from golden nanmu wood, and it needed to be painted forty-nine times. It would not be completed until the twentieth day, so there was no big burial.

It is September now, and the temperature is not too low. A lot of ice cubes were used in the Qianqing Palace to barely keep the body of Emperor Daxing from rotting.

The funeral was not held until the twentieth day.

On this day, officials of the third rank and above, imperial edicts and imperial edicts of the third rank and above, as well as all the clan members, all entered the palace for the burial ceremony.

Everything in the palace was filled with human heads.

Xiao Yu knelt at the head of the officials, while Gu Fei and the Queen Mother knelt at the head of the female family members. They knelt down, kowtowed and cried at the orders of the ceremonial officers.

The body of Emperor Daxing was placed in a coffin, which was sealed with ninety-nine nails.

When the Qianqing Palace was holding a funeral ceremony, several eunuchs carried trays into the Yuntang Palace.

The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read slowly: “By God’s decree, the emperor has issued an edict that the concubine Rong will be deprived of her title because of her evil intentions and will be given a cup of poisonous wine.”

“The concubine Zhang has a gentle and docile temperament. The late emperor loved her very much and ordered Zhang to accompany the late emperor underground.”
