Chapter 128 Posthumous Name: Ling
As the death knell rang, Liu Hong slowly closed his eyes!
Before Liu Hong's death, he still did not change his absurd nature. With an edict to enthrone the officials, he almost flashed the old waists of his ministers!
The bell rings inside and outside the palace!
The concubines, officials, palace maids and eunuchs in the palace all bowed to the ground, crying in real or fake!
A few people were crying for Liu Hong, such as Prince Liu Bian, Tenth General Attendant Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Shangjun Academy Jian Shuo and others.
In addition, most people are crying for themselves. For example, Queen He and the concubines in the harem. When they think about spending their second half of their lives in widowhood, their tears overflowed from the corners of their eyes as if they were worthless, and they couldn't stop them!
The above-mentioned people always cry for Liu Hong or for themselves, but they always cry sincerely, at least they look quite like that!
On the other hand, the ministers cried that the more fake they were, they were as fake as they were. They each had their own thoughts and were both concerned about their own interests and gains and losses. How could they have the time to care about Liu Hong's life and death!
As long as it does not affect one's own personal interests, Liu Hong's life or death seems not as important as he imagined!
Han Bao looked at Liu Hong who had a smile on his face with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but frown and thought: "So what if you are the emperor? You have a ridiculous life, work hard for a lifetime, have fun for a lifetime, and finally have a smile on your face?"
Han Bao sighed, shook his head with a firm look on his face, and said to himself: "This kind of life seems to be no fun!"
At some point, Cao Cao came to Han Bao's side. He patted Han Bao on the shoulder gently, and said in a voice that only two of them could hear, "Zi Tong was deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he was promoted to the prefect of Nanyang and was appointed as the general of Zhennan. It is really gratifying!"
Han Bao shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The prefect of Nanyang and General Zhennan are not what he wants! He only wants to return to Liaodong and reunite with his family!"
Yuan Shu came forward after hearing the sound and quipped, "Why do I have a hard time? I will go to Nanyang and take the post of Nanyang Prefect. Even if Zitong returns to Liaodong to reunite with his family, what is Zitong's intention?"
Han Bao was overjoyed, raised his palm high, and wanted to swear with Yuan Shu, saying, "A gentleman's word..."
Yuan Shu smiled embarrassedly, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Don't chase, don't chase! I'm just a joke, don't take it seriously!"
Han Bao curled his lips, snorted coldly with disdain, and turned his head aside, ignoring Yuan Shu and others!
Liu Hong has been weak and sick since childhood. After becoming an adult, he lived a life of extravagance and debauchery every day, which led to his health deterioration. Since this year, he has often experienced symptoms such as fainting and vomiting of blood. Therefore, in everyone's opinion, his death was only a matter of time, and this is no longer a secret in the Han Dynasty!
The officer has already prepared everything for Liu Hong, and the big master has prepared everything. After his death, he can go directly to the process and put it in a coffin and bury it.
The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and General He Jin took Liu Bian with one hand and came to the emperor's bed, indicating that Liu Bian kneels down to Liu Hong's body!
After the salute, Liu Bian personally buried Liu Hong with the help of officials!
The emperor's coffin is the coffin, made of golden nanmu, which is extremely exquisitely made and has a very luxurious decoration. After the coffin is made, it must be painted with 70 to 49 paints inside and outside.
After the funeral, the coffin was parked in the West Palace, and there were elixir flags outside the palace gate. The emperor's elixir flags were woven gold and nine dragon silk.
The emperor died and mourned the country, so he had to issue an edict to the whole world.
From Liu Bian to the point of being mourned, princes, princesses, and other princes and nobles went home to fast. The three dukes and nine ministers and officials in the capital had to stay in the dormitory of the department's yamen to fast. Without an imperial edict, they were not allowed to go home privately.
As for the idle officials, they gathered outside the Nangong to fast and stay.
A few banquets were set up in the palace to make the use of crying day and night. All officials were dressed in plain clothes and cried outside the Nangong Gate.
When princes and ministers enter the West Palace, they need to visit the coffin, and princes and grandchildren must wear mourning clothes to salute on the steps of the osmanthus, and princesses and other princesses must gather in front of the banquet hall.
A minister issued a will in the corridor east of the main hall, instructing his ministers to add rituals and festivals.
At this time, Liu Bian was going to stand outside the West Palace and face the west. When the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei came out with the will of decree, Liu Bian had to kneel down and kowtow. After Yuan Wei walked over with the will of decree, Liu Bian bowed again.
When Yuan Wei walked out of the West Palace, Taichangqing bowed three times and knelt down and received it.
The palace started from Liu Bian and the kings and princesses, starting from the day of the country’s demise, and was killed for three years, totaling twenty-seven months.
After the fasting period expires, civil and military officials from the royal family are not allowed to have fun, and mourning and marriage activities are prohibited.
The military, civilians and commoners in Beijing must pick their crowns and tassels and wear plain clothes for twenty-seven days. They are not allowed to marry within one month and have fun within one hundred days, which is any form of cultural and entertainment activities. They mainly refer to literary and artistic performances, slaughtering within forty-nine days, and prayers and sacrifices are not allowed to be held forty-nine days.
Before the emperor's memorials and documents were removed, the emperor used a blue pen to write memorials and documents. He could not use a red pen to write them. He would use a blue pen instead. This is called "blue comment".
From the beginning of the day of the mourning in the capital, the bells were ringing 30,000 times, and the mourning activities must continue to run throughout the entire mourning period.
On the second day, a ceremony of issuing the imperial edicts will be held in front of the Nangong Gate.
All mourning clothes must be taken after twenty-seven days, but Liu Bian had to say a few polite words at this time: "Wearing filial piety clothes is a filial piety that a son should do. The twenty-seven-day system is difficult to follow!"
When the ministers heard this, they had to advise them to put state affairs first and take off their filial piety clothes according to the will. After repeated persuasion, Liu Bian took off his filial piety clothes for difficulty, and moved to Nangong to live in Qi for three years.
The spiritual carriage of the late emperor was enshrined in the Anshou Palace, where there were three meals a day. All the utensils from previous funerals would be made by craftsmen to be buried with a reduced version.
After twenty-seven days of the coffin being parked in the West Palace, it was moved to the funeral palace for temporary storage and waiting for burial. The coffin stayed in the funeral palace for no periodic period, mainly based on the time of completion of the mausoleum, from a few months to a few years to a long time.
Liu Bian was in charge of Lu's system. After a hundred days, he was in charge of the Nangong government and ordered all the ministers to give their posthumous titles.
The ministers did not be polite to Liu Bian and directly designated Liu Hong's posthumous title as Emperor Xiaoling.
"Ling" is a bad posthumous posthumous, indicating the corruption and absurdity of the government during his administration.
If you are not diligent and become famous, it is called spirit; if you die, you are called spirit; if you see gods in your life, you are called spirit; if you are confused and not damaged, you are called spirit; if you are good at offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, you are called spirit; if you know ghosts and gods, you are called spirit; if you do not follow the emperor's decree, you are called spirit; if you are smart in virtue, you are called spirit.
In history, monarchs with posthumous titles "Ling" are not a good thing.
For example: Duke Ling of Jin was killed by training dogs to kill ministers, Duke Ling of Zheng was killed because of a bowl of soup, King Ling of Chu was slim waist Jianzhang Huatai and finally hanged himself, Duke Ling of Qi was arbitrarily deposed and led to civil strife, Duke Ling of Cai was lured and killed for killing his father, and Duke Ling of Chen was killed for being misconducted and frivolous.
Emperor Ling of Han favored eunuchs, sold official positions and titles, and foul the palace, so it was very appropriate to give him a posthumous title of "Ling".
Liu Bian is timid and dull, so he would not be the opponent of the ministers. After a painless game with the ministers, he was defeated without any strength to fight back!
Liu Bian shook his head helplessly, and said in grievance to Liu Hong's tablet: "My son is unfilial and he has to blame his father for his heavy trust!"
