Chapter 629 The funeral of the emperor
(Brothers, it’s updated so late, so everyone should vote for it!!)
After meeting Ji Wanyue, Wei Wuji's life in Shangluo became a little brighter. Every day he went to the palace to wait for lunch to start, which became the time he was most looking forward to.
It is in this state that the entire wake process becomes interesting, and time begins to get faster.
In this way, the time came on April 18th in the 12th year of King Zhao of Zhou (the 16th year of Marquis of Wei), and the time for the emperor to have funeral was up.
However, the envoys such as Wei Wuji no longer had to guard the cold mourning hall to live, which made them smile on their faces when they should have been very sad.
Although the Zhou Dynasty is now in decline, the emperor's funeral is still huge, which is exactly the same as the specifications when the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world two hundred years ago.
However, if the Zhou Dynasty wants to maintain this scale, it must devote all the whole country to withstand it.
Wang Jun all dispatched to follow and escort the entire funeral team. With various ceremonial guards and ceremonies, the entire funeral team had nearly 30,000 people.
Wei Wuji himself was in the middle of this team, and around him were envoys from all countries to attend the funeral. They all rode horses to follow the emperor's coffin.
Someone once joked that there were two most glorious times in the life of Emperor Zhou. One was the ceremony of ascension when he succeeded to the throne, and the other was the funeral ceremony before Wei Wuji.
In Wei Wuji's view, it is completely unnecessary to waste limited national strength on a dead man, not to mention that the Zhou Shi was no longer the same as before.
But he still underestimated the extravagant intentions of the Zhou Dynasty. When Wei Wuji truly saw the emperor's huge underground palace, he truly realized what the emperor's honor is.
The cemetery of more than ten miles is truly taught to Wei Wuji. It turns out that a person’s bone burial place can really be so big.
Sitting upright and looking at the various rituals that were constantly underway in the distance, Wei Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "Today, I really have gained insight!"
It was originally said that there should be no further text, but at this time, a voice sounded in Wei Wuji's ears and said, "If you had seen other emperor cemeteries in Zhou's room, you wouldn't be so emotional!"
Wei Wuji turned around and found that it was Prince Chu Xiong Jun who was speaking. Since the two of them left unhappily, they had never even said anything.
At this time, someone was talking together, and Wei Wuji certainly wouldn't argue, so he asked calmly: "Why is this? Are the other emperors' cemeteries even bigger?"
Xiong Jun nodded and said, "According to the Zhou Li, the Emperor's Cemetery is five miles long from east to west and four miles long from north to south... eighteen miles from zhou!"
Speaking of this, Xiong Jun couldn't help but point to the cemetery ahead and said, "You can see if this cemetery is 18 miles wide?"
Although it is impossible to measure accurately, Wei Wuji can still make a judgment after roughly estimating that the cemetery in front of him is not as big as Xiong Jun said.
So, Wei Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "The power of the whole country cannot maintain the emperor's decency, this week's room..."
Wei Wuji did not continue to say the following words, and Xiong Jun also understood what he meant.
Then Xiong Jun continued: "You are wrong again. It's not that the Zhou Dynasty cannot maintain the emperor's dignity, but that some people are unwilling to maintain this dignity..."
Wei Wuji couldn't help but become interested and asked, "Who?"
Xiong Jun pointed forward and said, "Of course it is the new emperor in front!"
"The emperor Ji Zhao was seriously ill and could not take matters. It was the prince's Ji Xiao who began to control the court and announced his intention to reduce the specifications of the royal tomb!" Xiong Jun said calmly.
The story suddenly changed and it was the meaning of the new emperor Ji Xiao, which reduced the scale of Wang Ling.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but look at the new emperor in front of him, and saw that the other party's face was deep at this time, making people unable to see what was going on.
"It seems that the prince Xiao had to look at him with admiration now!" Wei Wuji sighed.
Over the years, not only is he growing up, but Xiong Jun in front of him is growing up like Ji Xiao, and even Tian Yuwen, who is far away in Linzi, will grow up after experiencing this big defeat.
At this time, Wei Wuji couldn't help but say, "It seems that this new emperor still has expectations for the Zhongxing Zhoushi!"
The meaning revealed in Wei Wuji's words was that he was disdainful of the new emperor. Now Zhou Shi still has a chance to turn the tables.
Sure enough, Xiong Jun sneered: "If Ji Xiao can turn the world alone, the water of the river must flow back!"
Wei Wuji couldn't help laughing. This Prince Chu was also direct enough, but now he was on the land of Zhoushi.
But after thinking about it, Wei Wuji also felt that it was normal. Now that Chu State sent troops to attack Wei, wouldn’t it be directly borrowing the road through the Zhou Dynasty?
The Chu army traveled between Zhoushi and Zhoushi, as if they were entering a family yard, and naturally had no awe of Zhoushi.
At this time, Wei Wuji felt a little uneasy. Everyone said that Wei's hearts are like tigers and wolves, and they do not respect the Zhou Shi... But in fact, the people who repeatedly rush to Zhou Shi were the people of Chu.
Xiong Junke didn't expect Wei Wuji to have so many thoughts, so he listened to him and continued: "After all, the great power has the final say in this world, it depends on me..."
When talking about this, Xiong Jun turned around rarely and said to Wei Wuji very formally: "Maybe in the next ten or even twenty years, you and me will be the one who dominates the ups and downs of the world!"
Wei Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, and then he wondered how this person would compliment him...
But looking at Xiong Jun's serious look, he realized that the other party was not joking, that the other party really looked down on him.
At this time, Wei Wuji felt a little embarrassed and heard him say, "You are the prince of Chu. In the future, the heroes will have a place for you, but I may not be able to do it!"
This made Xiong Jun stunned, and then he sighed that the person in front of him was indeed no longer the prince of Wei who was rushing around three years ago.
"Your brothers are all incompetent rats... the only one with some tricks is the Xiangping Camp, but in my opinion he is not your Wu Yangjun's opponent!" Xiong Jun said casually.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but feel speechless. Xiong Jun was a little abnormal today, and even made him think that this guy had taken the wrong medicine.
In fact, Xiong Jun has not said something yet. He admired Wei Wuji's record in the north from the bottom of his heart.
Xiong Jun thought that he could not do better than Wei Wuji when he was in a different place, or he would definitely not do better than him.
Wei Wuji did not think about this at this time. As a member of Wei, he should now safeguard the dignity of Wei.
Then he heard him say in a deep voice: "Crown Prince of Chu, what about my brother? Please be careful about your words... The prince can also cause trouble!"
Wei Wuji's words were considered threatening, but Xiong Jun didn't care about it because he thought he wouldn't read it wrong.
At this time, the lengthy funeral ceremony ended here, and the coffin of the emperor Ji Zhao was slowly moved to the underground palace.
The era of the emperor Ji Zhao, who had been in power for twelve years, will also come to an end with the closure of the underground palace.
But for the whole world, the era of the five countries fighting for hegemony will continue and there will be no change due to the death of the emperor.
