Chapter 763: The Human Emperor through the Ages
After the death of the emperor, the palace was filled with a sad and solemn atmosphere for a long time.
Several palace attendants carefully walked into the palace, washed his body and put on his shroud.
As Gu Xu’s soul gradually dissipated, the backlash of the laws of heaven and earth also slowly receded.
The thin black lines on his skin that were as dense as spider webs began to fade away little by little, and finally disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
As a saint with eternal youth and immortality, his complexion became rosy and healthy after death. If he hadn't already lost his breathing and heartbeat, others might have thought that he was not dead at all, but had just fallen into a deep sleep temporarily.
After the burial, the coffin will not be buried immediately.
The mourning hall is placed in the Fengtian Hall of Zichen Palace. The coffin will stay there for twenty-seven days for civil and military officials to pay their respects.
During this period, the incense continues and the sorrow and joy subside.
At the same time, Gu Qingyan, Gu Xu's daughter, was persuaded by hundreds of officials in the name of "a country cannot live without a king for a day". After "three resignations and three concessions", she finally inherited the throne "reluctantly".
Of course, this is what history records say.
The actual situation is that Gu Qingyan completely collapsed when she learned that her father had left forever and would never walk around with her again or give her teddy bears.
She fell to the ground and cried loudly, her cries mixed with heartbreaking shouts: "I don't want to be an emperor! I just want my father!"
She cried hoarsely, Before the tears fell to the ground, a blazing flame several feet high suddenly rose from his body, reflecting the entire hall like a blazing sun.
If it weren’t for the defensive formations in the palace that firmly suppressed this energy, I am afraid that the furniture in the house would have been reduced to ashes, and the entire hall would have been reduced to a sea of flames in an instant.
In the end, it was Zhao Yan who held her hand and nodded for her to agree to the advice of the civil and military officials.
It can be seen that the new emperor is young, and the power of the country will be controlled by Zhao Yan, who becomes the empress dowager, for a long time to come.
Next, a ceremony called "Posthumous Ceremony" will be held in the palace to determine the temple name and posthumous title for Emperor Daxing.
The discussion went extremely smoothly, and the title of "Emperor Taizu Wen" was quickly adopted unanimously without anyone raising any objections.
"Wen" is the highest rating among the posthumous titles of Emperor Dahuang.
The latitude and longitude of heaven and earth is called Wen, the moral knowledge is called Wen, the kindness and love for the people is called Wen, the emperor's virtue is wide and spread is called Wen, the sound and teaching of the four ends is called Wen, and the reputation of the state is called Wen... This posthumous title brings together the outstanding achievements of Wenzhi and martial arts. , outstanding contributions to the country, as well as all the wonderful qualities of high moral character and benevolent character, can be regarded as the highest praise.
In just a few years of Gu Xu's reign, the world of the wilderness has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the end, in order to save all living beings, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to resolve the disaster.
Everyone thinks that he deserves this posthumous title.
I have to mention another thing here.
A few years ago, Daxia officials gathered in this same palace to discuss a posthumous title for Emperor Tianxing. The word "spirit" was quickly adopted unanimously, and no one objected.
During the period when Emperor Daxing lay dormant in Fengtian Hall, an unexpected episode occurred in Dahuang——
Two years ago, Gu Xu led four "divine generals" who were chasing him. Traveling through time and space, we came to this era.
Standing alone in a corner of Fengtian Hall in a daze, the Night Emperor first sensed the abnormal fluctuations in the laws of heaven and earth.
She immediately understood that Gu Xu from the past needed her help at this moment.
Without any hesitation, her figure flashed and disappeared from the place like a stream of light. In an instant, she rushed to the battlefield in the northwest Gobi. Seeing Gu Xu alive again, Ye Huang had mixed feelings in his heart.
She couldn't help feeling that her past self was like a stubborn piece of wood. Even though the person she liked was still alive, she stubbornly maintained unnecessary pride. When he left, I suddenly realized that I wanted to cherish it, but it was already too late.
At the moment when the past Gu Xu was about to disappear, Ye Huang stepped forward desperately and hugged him tightly.
Obviously he was still in the seventh realm at that time, and he did not have the strong Taoist aura that made the dragon clan obsessed.
But Ye Huang still held him, sniffed him lustfully for a while, and even couldn't help but kiss him.
It seemed that he himself was enough to fascinate her.
At this moment, she was extremely eager to have more powerful power, powerful enough to rewrite history and reverse the flow of time.
…………
Twenty-seven days later, it was the auspicious day for burial.
First, seventy-two people carried the coffin out of the palace gate, and then transported it to the mausoleum.
Gu Xu's mausoleum is located in the upper reaches of Luohe River, not far from Luojing, with superior terrain and beautiful scenery.
Normally speaking, most of the emperor's tombs were built during his lifetime.
However, due to the short reign of Gu Xu and his young age when he died, the mausoleum could not be built in advance. In desperation, we could only urgently mobilize a group of practitioners recently and use the formation to speed up the construction, so that we could quickly complete the construction of the mausoleum.
At the front of the funeral procession were sixty-four banner-ushers, holding high the flags and umbrellas of all peoples in a solemn and solemn manner.
Following this was the emperor's Lubu honor guard, holding various weapons, flags, and various forms of paper utensils. They were majestic and impressive.
Behind the coffin were the fully armed Imperial Guards, and then the procession of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and a continuous stream of cars and sedans.
Although Gu Xu had explicitly stated before his death that if he died, the people should live their lives as usual and their livelihood should not be disrupted by his death, let alone mourn him.
But on the day of his funeral, almost all the people in Luojing spontaneously came to see him off. Even people from surrounding counties did not hesitate to travel long distances just to see his coffin from a distance. To commemorate the king who gave his life to protect all sentient beings in the wilderness.
Zhao Yan held Gu Qingyan's little hand and sat quietly in the carriage, following closely behind the coffin.
"Mother, why are the people shouting 'Eternal Emperor' to my father's coffin?" On the way, Gu Qingyan listened to the cries of the people outside and couldn't help wiping his tears while looking up with some doubts. The head asked Zhao Yan.
"The 'Human Emperor' is a most benevolent and virtuous king in the ancient legends of the wilderness. It is said that he has shared the joys and sorrows with the people, defeated all ghosts, calmed the floods, and benefited all people. He has countless outstanding achievements," Zhao Yan explained softly, "Although the 'Human Emperor' Emperor' It may not have really existed, but in the eyes of today's people, if the 'Human Emperor' really came to the world, the great deeds he accomplished would only be the same as what your father did."
The coffin is finally here. was transported to the mausoleum.
When the auspicious time comes, everyone buries the coffin into the tomb and places the funerary objects properly one by one. After completing all the rituals, everyone crawled back, locked the door to the tomb, and destroyed the key on the spot.
Immediately, they exited the mausoleum and began to fill the tomb with earth until the burial was completed.
This process is called "covering the palace".
From then on, the late emperor and the world were completely separated from each other and belonged to two worlds.
