Chapter 31 2

--two-- Emperor Shunzhi issued an edict to the world, soliciting famous doctors from all over the world to come to the capital to treat the imperial concubine; Emperor Shunzhi sent ministers at home and abroad to worship gods and pray for the imperial concubine; However, the imperial concubine's illness became increasingly serious and there was no improvement. Fulin personally went to the Biyun Temple in Xishan to worship the Buddha and pray for the imperial concubine-before this, he had only done such things for the illness of the empress dowager. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Biyun Temple is in the green sea of ​​Xishan, so quiet that it is not like the world.Accompanied by the abbot of the temple, Fulin walked into the main hall.The abbot presented a bunch of incense sticks reverently, Fulin took it, and solemnly lit it on the long burning lamp in front of the Buddha, "flutter", the small flame jumped, the incense sticks were lit, and green smoke floated up.Fulin held the incense stick devoutly, and looked up at the whole body of the huge Tathagata with benevolent eyebrows, kind eyes and solemn Dharma appearance.

"Flop", the little flame jumped again and went out.A chief eunuch rushed in at a chaotic pace, knelt down as if knocked down, his face was full of panic, did he not catch up and said: "Qi, long live, the imperial concubine is critically ill!" Fulin's face suddenly became serious Changed, put the incense stick in his hand on the incense burner, turned around and left without saying a word.Those endless steps are endless!Fulin was so anxious that he even ran across the belt, jumping down three steps at a time, and the eunuchs who followed him were panting for breath, but they couldn't catch up with him.He ran to the gate of the monastery, took the imperial chariot under his banner, grabbed the reins from the guards, got on the horse, and whipped the whip fiercely. The black horse raised its front hooves, let out a long neigh, leaped forward, and flew down the mountain like a flying arrow.When the chief eunuch saw it, he yelled and jumped in a hurry. While running, he pointed at the dazed imperial guards, Yijia, Leopard Tail Squad, and Long Spear Squad, and shouted: "Follow up! You idiots, what are you doing?" Stay away, chase after me!" The eunuch dared to call the guards "idiots", which is not bad!But at this moment, no one can remember these ups and downs. The guards woke up like a dream, jumped on the horse, and chased down the mountain with a huff.So the road from Xishan to Xizhimen was like a fierce long-distance horse race, and the pedestrians on the side of the road were frightened and scattered: a black and bright horse galloped suddenly in a storm, and behind it was another group of horses with yellow horses. Dust came from the ground.No one can count how many people were knocked down and injured along the way.People didn't know what happened, until they followed up with a group of cavalry armed with heavy ceremonies who couldn't run away, they didn't know that it was the emperor who was on patrol, so they quickly knelt down on the side of the road obediently.

The guards caught up with the emperor in front of Xizhimen.That's because the officials in front of the gate didn't know who the person on the dark horse was, so they stopped the horse and asked for taxes.Fulin raised his hand and gave him a whip, ready to gallop his horse to the door.Just because of this delay, the guards arrived and shouted: "Get out of the way! The emperor is here!" The officials were so frightened that they knelt down beside the road and kowtowed like garlic.Fulin had already forgotten about him, and was about to enter the city with the whip, but the guards rushed to the front of the emperor obediently, beat the horse and galloped, shouting loudly: "Get out of the way! Officials, soldiers and civilians, everyone, get out of the way! The driver is coming!" In this way, more injuries and greater disturbances were avoided.

Fulin didn't pay attention to all this, didn't see or hear, only one idea supported him: "Quick, quick! Faster! I must see her! Even if it's the last time! Quick!..." Xizhimen, Xin Jiekou, Xisi Pailou, and Xi'an Gate all flew past them, leaving them far behind.The steeds carefully fed by the Imperial Horse Supervisor have probably never run so wildly. One seems to be fished out of the water. The sweat sticks the horse hair together and ticks down again.A man is no better than a horse, and his clothes are soaked inside and out, clinging tightly to his body.But the emperor was still frantically beating the black steed under his crotch, only when the profuse sweat was about to blind his eyes, he wiped it off hastily.

This whirlwind passed through the Jinao Yudi Bridge and blew straight to the Xuanwu Gate①.This is Da Nei, the Forbidden City. Anyone who comes here has to get off the horse and sedan chair.The guards did not dare to violate the prohibition, so they all reined in their horses and were about to dismount.Suddenly heard "crack! Crack!" two violent whips, the emperor's whole body was almost attached to the horse's back, and with a "swoosh" he rushed into the Xuanwu Gate like a gust of wind!The guards didn't have time to blink or react, they were just stunned and helpless.

Fulin lost his ability to respond to everything else, and almost instinctively, he galloped his horse into Shunzhen Gate, ran rampant in the Imperial Garden, broke through the East Gate, and galloped on Dongyi Long Street.Since Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty built this unparalleled and splendid palace group more than two hundred years ago, no one has dared to risk his life and lead a horse to pass through the yellow tiles and red walls of the Chongchongjin Palace. The violent sound of horseshoes resounded among the high palace walls! Fulin could only hear the sound of the wind, the sound of horseshoes, and the cries in his heart that were getting tighter and louder: Hurry up!quick!

Chengqian Gate flashed past, and the panicked faces of many court ladies and eunuchs flashed past. Fulin went straight to the apse bedroom before reining in his horse.As soon as he jumped down, the horse gave a limp hoof and collapsed.Fulin didn't even look at it, and rushed into the bedroom.Ah, isn't it her?Lie there peacefully.Didn't she tell him to wait for him to come back early?He was about to run to her bed, but someone stopped him.Who dares to be so bold? He looked up and saw his mother.But I couldn't see clearly, I just felt that her face was as white as paper, but there were two very red spots, what's going on?He has no time to think, he wants to talk to his Wu Yunzhu.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang stopped her son again, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "My son, you are late!... She has already..." The Empress Dowager couldn't continue, she turned her face away and cried bitterly. Fulin didn't understand, but opened his eyes slightly, looked at his mother, then looked at her, pushed away those concubines and nobles who came to support him, took a step forward, took another step, drifting like a sleepwalker... Suddenly, he threw himself in front of her, and stretched his hands over her nose and mouth. "Ah!" he cried out in pain.

"Ah!--" He let out another long and tragic wail, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and it was like the dying howl of a wounded beast; then, he spurted a mouthful of blood toward the sky, fell on his back, lost perception. The concubines who had come to Chengqian Palace to cry for Concubine Dong were now crying for the emperor again.They panicked, gathered around and rubbed their temples, and relaxed their chests, all in a mess and out of order.Only the empress dowager wiped her tears and ordered all the concubines to go away, and asked the eunuch to carefully carry the emperor to the long couch in the middle, and ordered the imperial doctor to be sent quickly, and she sat beside her son.

The doctor will come soon.The concubines gathered in the room and listened quietly.This was the imperial physician who had just watched the imperial concubine die. When he first saw the emperor, he panicked, his face turned yellow, his hands trembled, and beads of sweat rolled down his neck.Trembling, he knelt forward, lowered his head, stretched out three fingers and pressed on Fulin's wrist, tried his best to balance his breathing, took a moment to check his pulse, let out a long breath, bowed his head and said: "To the Empress Dowager: The emperor is suffering from severe pain, overworked, and fainted for a while. After the student prescribes a dose of herbal medicine that soothes the chest, calms the qi, rejuvenates the mind, and calms the convulsions, it will recover. Please rest assured, the empress dowager." The imperial doctor retreated, and the empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief. The concubines in the back room were relieved and cried again.They were really terrified just now.The queen came out, looked at Fulin who was still in a coma, and said to the empress dowager: "Emiang, do you want to send the emperor back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" The empress dowager glanced blankly at the empress and shook her head.

"However, the Chengqian Palace is so chaotic, sister Dong E's...is still in there, the emperor is lying here, I'm afraid it's inappropriate..." The queen lowered her head and said in a low voice. "No, you don't understand!..." The Empress Dowager sighed, and turned her head to hold the bursting tears with a handkerchief.Yes, no one knows her son better than her. Once he wakes up, the first thing he will do is to see Wu Yunzhu, even if she is moved to another place, she will definitely not die, and her illness will definitely recover, right? "The empress dowager shrugged her shoulders, even if she was seen from behind, she could be seen crying. "Emiang, what's the matter with you? Let's go to Chengqian Palace to see Wu Yunzhu, let her tell you a few jokes, and you will be relieved of all your worries!" The Empress Dowager couldn't bear it anymore, left her seat and walked away .There was an uncontrollable sob from the back room.The queen who was originally standing at the head of Fulin's couch turned around and walked to the place where the empress dowager had been sitting. Now, this is the Chengqian Palace..." "What?" Fulin sat up all of a sudden, and said in surprise, "What are you talking about? It's obviously the Palace of Mental Cultivation!" opened. Full of suspicion, Fulin first saw the couch he was lying on, and then slowly looked around.Fulin's brain was like a huge rolling stone, turning clumsily and laboriously, very slowly and bluntly, his indifferent eyes swept over the concubines and palace guards who stood silently everywhere, their red and swollen eyes did not attract his attention .His eyes fell on the wall: Song Dynasty's "Wind and Rain Returning Boat Picture"; The red, yellow and blue three-color porcelain pots are planted in order to harmonize with the white flowers and green leaves. Isn't this her elegant opinion? ... What kind of horizontal scroll is that?so familiar!Ah, Zhang Ling's "Calling Immortals" in the Ming Dynasty! A flash of lightning broke through the fog of chaos, and he trembled violently, remembering everything!Suddenly, his face changed drastically, stern, solemn, and cold, with two black eyebrows flying high on his pale face, and two fire lights in the depths of his black eyes.He stood up all of a sudden, without shaking, staggering, or rushing, not looking like a patient at all, and walked slowly towards the bedroom with firm and heavy steps. How can he be so calm?What is he going to do?All the people looked at him in panic and made way for him in fear.Eight court ladies and eunuchs followed closely behind him, none of them dared to ask him a word, the expression on his face was terribly cold. Wu Yunzhu's face was like life, but it was more serene and more peaceful than in life, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was grateful for her final liberation.This is a fairy carved from white jade, so beautiful that it makes people cry, and so holy that it makes people kneel.Fulin stared at her silently, stood motionless for a long time, then knelt down, took those cold little hands from her chest, pressed them to his face, and shed a few hot tears.He put her hand back carefully, looked at her with a smile, and whispered, "Wuyunzhu, my Wuyunzhu, wait for me!" Pulling out a sharp short knife from the scabbard inlaid with beads and inlaid with gold, he gestured to Wu Yunzhu's body, as if to show her her determination to die for love, then turned the blade and stabbed her throat very calmly. When he pulled out the dagger, people were shocked, some of the concubines screamed, and the empress dowager and empress rushed forward regardless of their identities.The eunuchs and maids who were closest to the emperor were physically strong, and because Fulin's movements were so solemn and calm, the eunuch grabbed the knife hand and snatched the short knife away.Two extremely powerful maids hugged him from left to right, making him unable to move. "Prince, you can't be confused!..." The empress dowager shouted out of breath. "Your majesty, you can't!..." The queen shouted almost at the same time as the queen mother. But Fulin didn't hear these words at all.Suicide was prevented, which actually aroused his rage.He suddenly became crazy, and suddenly there was an astonishing force from nowhere, he pushed left and right, broke away from the two maids, kicked down the eunuch next to him, and shouted loudly He shouted: "Who dares to stop me, I'll tell him to die immediately! I'm not going to live, I just don't want to live!..." His eyes were like red coals, and his face was as red as a fire.He shook off the crowd, lowered his head slightly, and slammed into the wall violently.The eunuchs and maids swarmed up to stop him, and they fell to the ground together with Fulin wrapped up. The cries, shouts, and screams were in such a mess that they almost lifted the roof of the temple. Fulin got rid of the entanglement of the crowd again, looked left and right, and clearly wanted to make a third attack.Empress Dowager Zhuang rushed to him recklessly, crying and shouting, "Fulin! Just kill me first!" Fulin was stunned.Since he was sensible, no one dared to call him by his first name.When I took a closer look, I saw the distraught mother in front of me, and the mother said such words again!Fulin was taken aback, hesitation appeared in his eyes, and behind the hesitation, a star of reason flashed. "Do you want me to pour you another glass of ice water?" The Queen Mother drank again.Fulin shivered and fell to his knees in front of his mother. The empress dowager slumped down on the chair, gasped for a few breaths, tried to calm down for a moment, and finally managed to speak in her usual gentle tone, but her voice was still trembling: "Wu Yunzhu still reminded her in the end, she Said: The death of a child today is the destiny. The Emperor Wanwang cherishes himself and loves himself. He attaches great importance to the great cause of the ancestors and the people of the country. There is no need to mourn. She knows the general situation and cares about the overall situation. How dare you forget the ancestral heritage for your own love? How can you be worthy of Wu Yunzhu?" The queen approached, knelt by the emperor's side, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Dong E said repeatedly when she was dying: the concubine will go. The Empress Dowager and His Majesty are in love with each other. The Empress Dowager will be half a hundred years old, and she mourns for the concubine. Although the concubine dies, she can't feel at ease... My sister takes care of the Empress Dowager, and she will miss her even when she dies. heart!..." The concubines also knelt down around the empress dowager, the emperor, and the empress.The whole room knelt down.Voices of pleas and entreaties filled the palace, and tears flowed endlessly.They begged the emperor to remember the painstaking efforts of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine who passed away, and they must not seek short-sightedness.Fulin was in a daze, neither dead nor alive. In the end, probably exhausted, he collapsed to the ground and passed out again. That night, everyone in the inner courtyard of the palace was sleepless all night, and the lights in all palaces were lit until dawn. Fulin never left Chengqian Palace, so the Empress Dowager and Empress had no choice but to accompany her here.The concubines returned to their own palaces, terrified all night, not knowing what else would happen. Many lords burned incense and prayed, asking God to bless the emperor well. For the next two days and nights, twenty-four strong maids and eunuchs guarded the emperor day and night in shifts to prevent him from committing suicide again.All things that could cause harm, such as knives, sticks, heavy objects, even vases and foreign clocks, were all put away, so that the emperor had no room to take advantage of.I don't know whether it was the empress dowager's loving and rational teachings that played a role, or the imperial doctor's more and more powerful herbal medicines to soothe the nerves and calm the soul. After the commotion was turned upside down and people turned their backs, on the third morning, Fulin finally calmed down down, and fell into a faint sleep.The empress dowager, empress and concubines and palace supervisors also breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them seized the opportunity to rest and recuperate. The Empress Dowager Zhuang was exhausted, but she couldn't sleep.Fulin's fuss about looking for life and death has aroused so many things in her mind!She couldn't help but think of Fulin's father and her husband, Huang Taiji.When her elder sister Guan Suigong and Concubine Chen passed away, Huang Taiji was also so sad that she would faint from crying and fainted. She would not drink or eat for six days, mourning day and night for half a year, and shed tears as soon as she passed the old palace. The next time, I went to the grave of Concubine Chen to drink and cry bitterly.It was precisely because Huang Taiji couldn't bear such grief that his physique and spirit became weaker and weaker, and he died of a serious illness a year later.The son and the father are exactly the same. They are both wise kings with great achievements, but they are both too sentimental.The affection is so deep that it becomes a demonic obstacle, which makes it impossible to deal with it, and it is difficult to extricate yourself. Concubine Chen is the older sister of Empress Dowager Zhuang, and Concubine Dong E is the goddaughter of Empress Dowager Zhuang. She knows both of them well and loves them very much.However, one of them took away her husband's affection, and the other occupied her son's heart. As a wife and mother, how could she not have an instinctive disgust?However, Empress Dowager Zhuang is different from ordinary women, she knows what kind of scope should be limited to this disgust.Therefore, when she went to Chengqian Palace to visit Fulin again and faced a tricky situation, she easily dealt with it. Fulin has moved to the main hall of Chengqian Palace.According to the rules, the main hall is a place to salute, and people cannot live in it. Now for the sake of the emperor, we have to make an exception.Fulin was still very weak, half lying and half sitting on the imperial couch.The Empress, Concubine Shuhui, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ke and other lords sat around and accompanied them. Whether they wanted to or not, they were all sobbing, whispering about the many benefits of the imperial concubine. Seeing the empress dowager coming in, the emperor and concubines stood up to greet her.The Empress Dowager sat down on the square chair beside the couch in a calm and casual manner.As soon as she sat down, Fulin knelt at her feet: "My son is unworthy, disturbing the mother, tiring the mother, begging the mother to forgive the son's crime. But the son has a wish, and he hopes that his mother will fulfill it. " Seeing that he was no longer as crazy as he was two days ago, the Empress Dowager expected that there would be no danger of suicide, so she said kindly: "As long as it is reasonable and courteous, the emperor will just obey the orders." Doesn't Fulin say anxiously: " My son will mourn Wu Yunzhu with the Queen's ceremony." The hall was extremely quiet for a moment, as if frightened by the emperor's words.Concubine Shuhui, Concubine Kang, and Concubine Ke lowered their heads desperately, not daring to look at the queen's expression; the queen's face turned red immediately, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes. The embarrassment and grievance made her really want to jump up and escape from the palace.The empress dowager frowned and looked at Fulin worriedly, as if worried that he was still insane.After a long while, the empress dowager shook her head lightly, and said kindly: "My lord, this is unprecedented! The empress is clearly here, and Wu Yunzhu is obviously an imperial concubine, and it is appropriate to treat her like an empress." This is not in line with the country and the court system. All the ministers in the court must have different opinions, and the disputes cannot be resolved. Why bother to come?" Fulin said sadly: "I have lost all thoughts today. If the mother refuses to invite me, I will cut my hair and wear it Go to the mountains to learn Buddhism, and no longer participate in human affairs!..." The Empress Dowager felt sad and angry, and wanted to say many things but could not utter them.At this moment, an extremely strong wish rushed out of her heart: May there never be a dark cloud pearl in the world, and may the cursed world never allow this pair of infatuated sons and daughters to meet!This is really the great misfortune of the Qing Dynasty!If she can be the master of the next generation of emperors, she will never allow him to have a favorite concubine, and never let him fall in love with her! ... Unexpectedly, the empress wiped away her tears, knelt beside the emperor, and said to the empress dowager: "Mother, sister Dong E has served the emperor for five years. Rang, I don't want her to pass away... Burying with the ceremony of a queen is really in line with the original intention of my son and wife. If the officials in the court have any objections, they can express their intentions. In this way, even future historians cannot make this move the emperor It's over..." Fulin felt surprised, and gave the queen a grateful look.Seeing this, the queen felt sad and relieved at the same time, her face blushed again, but tears rolled down.The concubines were also very surprised. Although they dared not discuss privately, they exchanged many different glances with each other. Empress Dowager Zhuang let the depression in her chest dissipate for a moment, and said calmly: "Since the empress is considerate of the emperor's heart and does not feel jealous, why should I go against the good intentions of your husband and wife?" She turned to Fulin: "The emperor told the empress what he wanted. Show the court officials. As for the edict, it can be said to follow my will." Fulin was overjoyed, and once again kowtowed to his mother, and the queen also knelt down. The next day, the emperor issued an order to the Ministry of Rites: "According to the imperial edict of the empress dowager: the imperial concubine Dong E's family is filial, Shuyi is well-written, talented and virtuous, and she is in charge of internal affairs. Now that I have passed away suddenly, I feel very sorry for it. I will posthumously confer the title of empress to show favor and praise. I would like to follow the benevolent orders and posthumously confer the title of imperial concubine Dong E's family as empress. The Ministry of Rites will discuss and hear about it after the ceremony." On the fourth day, a grand posthumous ceremony was held in Chengqian Palace, where Concubine Dong E was posthumously named queen. On the day of Concubine Dong E's death, the Empress Dowager Zhuang saw the emperor's life and death. "Now, Concubine Dong E has become Empress Dong E, and Fulin issued a series of imperial edicts on the occasion of the empress's funeral: summoning eminent monks from the south of the Yangtze River and Mount Wutai, and sending Chinese envoys to the palace to worship Empress Dong E, and to set up water and land ashrams. ; Solicit skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build a ghost house for Queen Dong E; order scholars Wang Xi and Hu Zhaolong to compile "Quotations of Queen Dong E", and order Jin Zhijun, a university scholar to write "Biography of Queen Dong E"; order the cabinet from August to December In the first month of the month, all the blue ink was used in the memorial to express condolences. Next year, the new square will restore the vermillion color; order the ministers to discuss posthumous titles; order the whole country to mourn. ... From the entry of Manchuria to the unification of the world, in seventeen years, the imperial court has not held such a grand funeral.Therefore, from Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang in the north, to Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in the south, across the Hexi Corridor in the west, and to the seashore in the east, on the vast and vast land, there are spiritual seats and white flags fluttering everywhere, which became the first national mourning that shocked the world. Fulin locked himself in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and did not allow anyone to disturb him, expressing his thoughts in silence.It has been more than six years since we met for the first time, and the past is vivid in his mind. There are traces and images of her everywhere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which makes him feel hurt.Fulin gritted his teeth, didn't look at anything, let his thoughts surge, and wrote quickly, pouring all his gratitude into the pen.However, tears follow the text, more tears or more ink?Are the lines of writing written in ink or dyed with tears? After the first seven days, Empress Dong's coffin will be moved to Shouchun Hall in Jingshan.Fulin will burn this sacrificial rite in front of her coffin tonight.Writing articles has never been like today. Grief is like a spring, writing is like a spring, and tears are like a spring.I only hate that the writing is too slow, thousands of words are written without modification, and the hand keeps writing in a single wave.After he finished writing, he seemed to cry bitterly, and the depression and sadness in his chest eased a lot.He walked out of the warm pavilion and out of the main hall. The tables and chairs under the corridor were for the little inner eunuch to copy the emperor's imperial pen. At this moment, their eyes were red from crying, sobbing and sighing choked up.Seeing the emperor coming out, he quickly knelt down. Fulin picked up the transcribed paper, folded it, looked at it, and said, "Why are you crying?" The little eunuch hurriedly said, "It's really Long Live God's sacrificial oration that made people cry, and the slaves couldn't bear it anymore..." Fulin turned around abruptly. , hurried away. It was already the twenty-sixth day of the eighth month, and after the second drum, Fulin changed into plain clothes, the inner eunuch carried a lantern and guards, and quietly walked towards Chengqian Palace.Fulin's idea was to take advantage of the silence of the night to get together with Wu Yunzhu alone for the last time to express his sincere feelings.In the lonely autumn night, as if he understood his mood, even the wind died down.The sky is full of stars, Yinhan is silent, because of the darkness of the moon, the starlight is extraordinarily clear, and the flickering light reminds him of Wu Yunzhu's talking eyes... When he approached Chengqian Palace, he could hear the voices and crying of a bannerman. Voice.How is this going?From the third day after Empress Dong's death, every day, Li Guozhu sent Li Guozhu to summon Monk Inxisen to Chengqian Palace, where he went to the hall to burn incense, and Fulin also accompanied Ling Xiaoshen.It's so late now, is he still in the mourning hall?It turned out that the empress dowager, empress and concubines were crying in the mourning hall, and they also came to see empress Dong off. Fulin greeted his mother, and the concubines greeted the emperor. After the ceremony, the emperor sat under the empress dowager's left hand and comforted him with a forced smile: "My mother, don't be too sad, you should go back to the palace early to rest!" Before Empress Dong was about to leave the palace At this moment, the empress dowager's grief suddenly became extremely intense. She looked miserable and said to Fulin in a sobbing voice: "She is really the best spouse of the emperor! I hope that you two will be reconciled forever. In my old age, who would have known the middle way! From now on, who can serve me like her? Who can follow my heart and agree with me like her? Who can I talk to when I have something to say? Shall I plan and plan together?..." How could she have said it incoherently?Fulin bowed his head and was speechless, the cries of the empress and concubines became even more mournful. "Stop crying so loudly, please restrain yourself a little!" The empress dowager turned to the concubines.But they were not willing to listen, the crying continued, and no one responded.You must know that their crying is not just for grief, but also contains grievances, injustices, and dissatisfaction with what the Queen Mother said.The queen mother sighed, burst into tears, and said: "Are you people heartless? Why didn't you even answer me? She listened to me, she would never behave like this!...Let's go, all of you go back to the palace Go! Don't add to my sadness here!..." Fulin also waved his hand in boredom, and the concubines had no choice but to withdraw knowingly.Afterwards, Fulin asked his mother to stop mourning and go back to the palace. The Empress Dowager looked at him suspiciously, and he smiled wryly, "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager also left, and Fulin was alone with the coffin.The little eunuch brought the golden stove, and Fulin faced the mourning hall, picked up the sacrificial oration written by him, and read it word by word.At the beginning, I still wanted to read aloud; then the tears flowed out along with the words, and I couldn't hold back; at the end of the reading, my voice was hoarse, my chest was wet with tears, and I could hardly finish the article.The little eunuch held up the fire with tears, and Fulin personally burned the sacrificial text page by page in the golden furnace in front of the spirit. After Fulin sacrificed, he sat silently in front of the coffin.After thousands of turns, it is always difficult to let go of grief, even if you want to close your eyes and rest for a while, you can't do it.Wu Yunzhu has gone, everything about Fulin has gone with her, only this useless body is left! ... At dawn, nearly a hundred officials of the second and third grades of the Eight Banners who were ordered to come to Chengqian Palace to be the coffin of Empress Dong were already waiting outside Chengqian Gate.Monk Inxisen was also ordered to raise the coffin for Empress Dong.After Ningxi paid homage to the emperor, he raised incense sticks in his hands to Ling Xiaoshen, and said in verse: "How many times have you picked up and made new ones, who will know you after Ziqi is gone? Tianxin has a photo of the moon gate, and everyone on the road puts their feet on it." OK!" Standing aside, Fulin suddenly held back his tears and asked, "If you can't take a breath, where will you settle down?" The monk bowed to the emperor and said, "Thank you for making offerings." Fulin bit his lips, tears flowing down the river. The thin cheeks slowly flowed down. Thirty-two second-rank officials of the Eight Banners who carried the coffin, dressed in mourning clothes and white caps, stood in their respective positions and raised their bars on their shoulders.Indenxi pointed at the coffin with a Buddhist staff and recited verses: "Walking through thousands of Qi, sitting alone and becoming delusional, and what to do, you have to go just right." He pointed up with his staff and shouted: "Get up!" The officials worked hard together, and the heavy coffin rose from the ground, slowly leaving the main hall full of white curtains. Fulin said, "Thank you monk for the promotion." Inden Xisen said: "The holy car is precious." The officials carried the coffin down the platform and moved towards Chengqian Gate. Suddenly, the maids and eunuchs of Chengqian Palace rushed up to block the road and cried bitterly.Seeing that a few court ladies were about to cry and faint, it was useless for the spirit guardian minister to scold and scold, and he didn't dare to use the whip and stick in front of the emperor, so he was at a loss for a while.Fulin came over and looked at these servants who were crying like mourning, feeling very emotional and speechless for a while.Later, he asked very kindly: "Why are you blocking the way?" A eunuch cried and replied: "The servants are reluctant to part with Mrs. Dong E!" Fulin smiled and said. "She's gone, you're going to give out the title of Palace Mistress, don't you want to?" "No! I don't want to!" The eunuch shook his head desperately.They couldn't be more clear, don't look at those lords who are crying sadly now, in the future they will vent all their resentment towards Empress Dong E on them, the old people of Chengqian Palace. A court lady cried in panic: "Then it's better to go with her!" "Oh, good girl! I want to go with her but can't... Well, you get out of the way for now, I have something to say to you!" The maid, The eunuchs didn't dare to disobey their orders, and the coffin finally left the Chengqian Gate and entered Dongyi Long Street. Fulin looked at the weeping servants carefully, and said slowly: "My wish cannot be fulfilled, but I can fulfill your wish. You all go with Empress Dong and serve her well for me!" The crying sound suddenly The enhancement was doubled, and some people actually cried and passed out.Fulin nodded in admiration, and stepped out of the palace to deliver the coffin.Yinxi caught up with Fulin outside Chengqian Gate, bowed and said: "The emperor's mourning is indeed pure love. But my Buddha is merciful and merciful, and God has the virtue of good life. I dare to ask the court to save many people from being buried..." Fulin said with a face Yi Shen said unhappily: "Sacrificial burial is an old custom in the country. Otherwise, who would serve Empress Dong? Besides, I want to go with her, but I can't.
