Ordinary people spend three days in the mourning hall after death, and then they are buried. There are also rules for the first seven days.
There are even more rules after the emperor's death.
Emperor Jing has been dead for more than two months. Among them are the three-day ritual of the royal family, which also involves the construction of temples for worship. Officials also participate in the sacrifices. They have to visit the temple every seventh day, which will last for seventy-seven forty-nine days.
After three to six months, Emperor Jing's coffin will be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
Not only is Your Majesty concerned about whether Emperor Jing is really dead, there are many people who are concerned about this matter.
Zhang Xuezhou even thought of the strange things he saw and the sounds he heard when Rong Tianding recited the "Grave Sutra".
"Your Majesty, do you feel it? If you can't hold on to the dragon spirit of this great Han Dynasty, even Xiao Xiao can take a piece of flesh off of you!"
Zhang Xuezhou read what Rong Tianding retold.
He initially thought that Rong Tianding's recitation of the "Grave Sutra" had contaminated Chang'an City's luck, which in turn led to the new emperor being reprimanded. Now it seems that the other party was not talking about them.
Zhang Xuezhou stood up and looked in the direction of the imperial city, and finally sat down again.
He's been having bad luck lately, so he doesn't participate in exciting things to avoid getting into trouble.
Sitting from the second watch to the third watch, and counting from the third watch to the fourth watch to pass the time.
When Zhang Xuezhou began to feel hungry again and had to tighten his belt, he saw figures in fancy clothes running wildly past the street where Dong's Mansion was located.
"Since your Excellency has come to Chang'an City, why are you sneaking around and doing such disgusting things!"
Zhang Xuezhou's more familiar voice came, and another even more familiar voice sounded.
"Li Guang, the Chief of Guards of Weiyang Palace, congratulates everyone for a long time. Now that you are here, don't leave!"
If Cheng Bushi's voice only made the runner give in, Li Guang's voice made the runner frightened.
The sound of galloping was heard from behind, and another arrow shot through the darkness.
"What a Willow substitute!"
Cheng Bushi rushed out of the street and reached out to grab a black figure in the darkness. He felt the wood was broken and he threw it back casually.
"You have to practice catching with both hands!"
More than ten seconds later, Li Guang arrived galloping on a white horse.
He glanced at the arrow he had stuck on the willow stake, constantly assessing the trauma the other party had suffered.
After a while, Li Guang could only complain.
Stationing in Chang'an City does not mean sending troops to fight. Everything that needs to be dealt with is completely different from that in the military camp.
For example, when chasing a murderer, they need to capture the victim alive to identify his accomplices, which makes Li Guang's arrows more likely to wound rather than kill.
But Li Guang didn't expect that he shot the opponent, and Cheng Bushi hadn't caught the opponent yet.
His complaints made Cheng Bushi shake his head.
"I'm the only one who's good at being beaten. It's too difficult for you to ask me to take the initiative." Cheng Bushi said, "You continue to pursue, and I'll protect His Majesty, so as not to be attacked by Xiaoxiao while you and I are out, and then you end up with a small mistake. big!"
"She has used magic to escape far away, so she won't chase her anymore." Li Guang waved his hand and said: "The palace was stolen again. I'm afraid the few thieves we killed will be difficult to offset this crime."
Cheng did not realize that Nan was too far away from his post without authorization, and Li Guang apparently did the same.
Whether it is to catch thieves or to protect the safety of the emperor, everyone can clearly distinguish the importance of this.
The two of them looked at each other, turned their reined horses, and then rode off in the direction of the imperial city.
"It's a pity that my relationship with General Li Guang is average!"
Zhang Xuezhou glanced enviously.
Li Guang is the number one figure in the Northern Military Region, and his official rank when entering Chang'an City is obviously not low.
According to the opponent's behavior of riding the horse at this time, and being able to freely use archery to kill in Chang'an City, the opponent obviously has extremely high real power, which is far more effective than Dong Zhongshu's empty position.
But just thinking about Li Guang's cold face, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his relationship with the other party was useless, and even Li Guang might not remember a small person like him.
"I don't know if this person is dead or not!"
When Cheng Bushi and Li Guangyuan were waiting, Zhang Xuezhou ran to the street to take a look.
He picked up the broken willow stake and touched the sleepy bug in his pocket.
"What a high maintenance person!"
Seeing that Sleepyhead showed no interest in the willow stakes, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to give up.
The willow stake in his hand still retains the aura of mana, and there are traces of the powerful impact left by Li Guangyu's arrow.
This is obviously a kind of magic weapon wood that has been sacrificed and practiced by others, but sleepyheads can't stand it and don't like it.
Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to pick up some pieces of wood as a backup. If the sleepy man got too hungry one day, he might be able to take a few bites to avoid starving to death.
"Find me a hiding place!"
When he was thinking about his little thoughts, he felt someone pinched his neck from behind, and an old woman's voice came from behind.
"Who are you? You..."
Just as Zhang Xuezhou muttered, he felt as if his cervical vertebrae had been struck by lightning, and his body began to tremble.
"Cut the nonsense, and don't try to attract Li Guang's attention by shouting loudly." The old woman's voice continued: "The Guards Corps will conduct a routine search along the street in half a quarter of an hour. Hide me quickly, or I will I'll tear your bones apart piece by piece before I'm caught!"
"I'm just a homeless man, I..."
"Die!"
A low and hoarse voice came, and Zhang Xuezhou felt a creeping feeling in his heart.
“But I know a good place!”
He whispered quickly, and felt the hand holding his neck retracted.
In just one or two seconds, this almost made Zhang Xuezhou break into a cold sweat.
It was rare for him to meet someone who would kill someone at the slightest disagreement. He was even just a passerby and had almost no necessary interest in the other party.
The other party is exactly the person he wants to support before he dies, even if he is a homeless person.
Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was in bad luck.
He felt warm in his heart when he saw Liu Muzhuan after being treated, and Li Guang mentioned that the other party had gone far away. This made Zhang Xuezhou think about whether it would suit his taste if he let Sleepy Man try it. How could he have thought of encountering such an evil spirit? .
Obviously, his luck is still very bad and he can't do anything.
"lead the way!"
A cold voice came. Just as Zhang Xuezhou took a step, he felt his body sink, and then someone was lying on his back.
"I'm injured and can't walk. You carry me on your back and go to that good place quickly." The old woman said in a low voice: "You have to hide me safely for at least three days. If you miss one day, I will let you die!"
When Zhang Xuezhou lowered his head and responded, he felt a slap from the other party and a painful thing was stuffed into his mouth.
By the time the opponent pushed it with his palm, he had already swallowed the bitter object.
"This is poison that goes through your heart. I will give you the antidote when it's done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the person on his back had lowered his head. Apparently, he didn't have much energy or thought to talk to him.
There was a thought in his heart, but then he stopped his thoughts abruptly and carried the other person across the street.
It was only Zhang Xuezhou's second visit to Chang'an City. His understanding of Chang'an City was limited, so he didn't know any good places.
But the Dong Mansion was building a house, and there was no one in the house at the moment. There was no problem in hiding in person, but it would be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to hide for three days.
He let out a low breath, and the many acupoints continued to circulate, and the poison-repelling magic was quietly promoted.
If he wanted to fall out with this old woman, he obviously needed to determine his status first.
"It's not poisonous!"
The Anti-Poison Art swept through his belly, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that no poison was detected.
On the contrary, his body felt slightly warm, and his strength seemed to have increased in just a few moments, and the physical consequences of his thirty days of fasting had also been greatly reduced.
At least Zhang Xuezhou didn't feel hungry anymore.
