"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Holy Lord..."
The entire Longjia group burst into tears.
Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the dragon's carriage was relatively good, and these people, although they cried bitterly, still tried their best to suppress their voices. But despite this, this feeling of sadness and depression still came over me suddenly.
Liu Zheng was even more confused.
died?
Xie Tianyao, died like this?
He grabbed his hand, still very hard, and Liu Zheng's hand was very painful from the scratch.
Xie Tianyao's hands began to become cold.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you have passed away..."
The imperial doctor came over and confirmed Xie Tianyao's death.
Looking at Xie Tianyao, at the last moment, he still tried his best to close his eyes. At this time, Xie Tianyao was so peaceful that Liu Zheng had never seen him before.
Yes.
He could pass away in peace. Today's Long Yan has the power of a great nation and the potential to become a powerful nation. The expansion of territory has reached a historical high point, and Xie Tianyao can indeed pass away peacefully.
But……
I'm still on the way to the prince's funeral now...
While Liu Zheng was sad, he was also a little depressed.
Next…
How to deal with this matter? Before Xie Tianyao died, he summoned him, which actually meant that he was being left alone. It can also be seen that he trusts himself. After all, this group of people now includes almost all the powerful people in Long Yan, Zhu Zhen, who is full of students and plums, is still walking on crutches, and the vassal kings who support their troops and respect themselves are also old. To be honest, I don’t even dare to ride a horse. At this time, what can almost determine their life or death are the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Duqi, Duwei, and Imperial Guards.
"Shilang Liu...this is the tiger talisman of the Imperial Guard..."
Manager Zhou's sadness is unmatched by anyone. The passing of Xie Tianyao, to him, was as if the whole sky had collapsed. Because throughout the life of Mr. Zhou, he lived because of Xie Tianyao. He had always worked diligently and followed Xie Tianyao... If he had been given to someone who had reached his position in the past, he would definitely have cultivated the power of a eunuch. However, he No...this is his loyalty to Xie Tianyao.
at this time.
As soon as Xie Tianyao left, he naturally felt that the world was shattered and the earth was shattering...
only.
He also knew that at this time, he still had a heavy responsibility. While holding back his tears, the tears that he couldn't help but still flowed down his pale cheeks, he took out a tiger charm and handed it to Liu Zheng.
"Mr. Zhou, you must express your condolences..."
Liu Zheng sighed. He finally managed to free his hand from Xie Tianyao's. Then, he sat there blankly.
He was really frightened and didn't know what to do.
Only then did he realize how important Xie Tianyao was to a dynasty like Long Yan. He was a pillar, a spiritual belief, and the cohesion of the entire country. But at this time, he was gone, he was really gone... Even though Liu Zheng had the most advanced painkillers in his hands, Xie Tianyao's body functions and internal organs were basically necrotic... This was beyond human control.
he died……
Liu Zheng suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavier.
And for a moment, it was so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe.
"Shilang Liu..."
"this……"
Others, at this time, were actually panicking.
Because there are still a few hours away from Lishan. Next, is the official funeral of the prince. This group of people, there is also such a large group of people outside...and each and every one of them holds a high position in Longyan. Once any disturbance occurs, the energy these people will burst out is absolutely unimaginable.
Manager Zhou, Yuan Qingming, and the secret guards were all panicked.
They all looked at Liu Zheng at the same time.
Liu Zheng waved his hand and tried to calm his breathing. Lying next to him was the dead Xie Tianyao... And it was already midsummer, so it was a bit difficult to preserve such a body for a few days. Liu Zheng felt that the first issue to consider was this.
He glanced at Xie Tianyao's body.
He still felt that this incident had come too quickly, and he was not given any time to mentally prepare.
"Mr. Zhou, the Lord must have arranged something with you before he was alive..."
After Liu Zheng tried to calm down, he looked at Manager Zhou.
Manager Zhou lowered his head and said: "This..."
Liu Zheng waved his hand. At this time, these things were not important. Xie Tianyao's arrangement must be to let Manager Zhou and the secret guards see what they will do after his death. If Xie Ming is allowed to inherit the throne according to Xie Tianyao's arrangement, then he will definitely be fine. If he had second thoughts, he would be eliminated by the secret guard on the spot. You can imagine this with your toes. As for Xie Tianyao's edict, it must also be in the hands of Manager Zhou.
He already felt that the secret guard's eyes were always locked on him.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. Now that the matter has come to this, let's work together to find a way to overcome the current difficulties."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.
Everyone nodded.
The emperor is dead.
This is not a trivial matter... If it is not handled properly, the entire country will fall into chaos or even war.
"Keep it secret!"
Liu Zheng continued: "Since the Holy One has told us not to announce the funeral secret, we should keep it secret first! Manager Zhou, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible..."
Manager Zhou lowered his head and listened.
In ancient times, after the death of an emperor, people must have many ways to preserve his body. After all, in history, after the death of any emperor, he would not be buried directly. The body would usually be kept for about three months, because the emperor's funeral was different from the prince's. It would be too grand and naturally there would be too many things. Preparation is required. Especially for the emperor who died this summer, the body will have to be preserved for three months, which really requires a lot of work.
The first is to take a bath.
This is not an ordinary bath, so you don’t just bathe the body with water, but with spices! The body is bathed in a medicinal soup made from various spices, which can inhibit the growth of many bacteria. After the bath, all parts of the body are wiped clean with alcohol.
In the "Book of Rites and Funerals", there are detailed records of how the bodies of emperors and generals were preserved after their deaths.
"When (the king) dies, he puts his corpse on the bed and uses a quilt; he removes the clothes of the deceased, and the ministers wedge their teeth with a jiaoshao, and he wears a pair of swallows to embroider his feet. The king, the officials, and the officials... are in charge of people and give orders to those who serve as emperors. The emperor sent Mu to the hall. Jun Muliang, doctor Mu Ji... you set up a large plate to make ice, and the doctor set up a small plate to make ice..."
It is necessary to thoroughly cleanse and then apply a thick layer of spices all over the body.
Liu Zheng thought for a moment.
Given their current conditions on the road, if they still don't want people to discover their actions...
To use mercury, you have to collect the mercury, to use lime, you have to collect it...use ice? If the temperature in this dragon's carriage suddenly drops, it will definitely attract others' attention.
So……
There was only one way left.
Alcohol embalming.
He immediately asked Manager Zhou to collect the high-altitude wine in the team, as well as the wine prepared for the prince's funeral...
