Chapter 384 Beimihe
Although the emperor demoted Yan Yang to a commoner, the mourning hall set up by Mu Tingxue was still of the highest standard.
Under normal circumstances, even if a prince dies, there will only be nine kinds of white jade beasts placed on both sides of the mourning hall at most.
But there are a total of sixteen stone beasts placed here!
Yan Yun looked at it and couldn't help but worry: "Your Highness, is this... going beyond the limit? If someone in the court impeaches him, will they destroy his brother's mourning hall?"
Cui Ming wiped away her tears and said: "There are also three animal sacrifices and various sacrificial vessels, all of which exceed the prince's specifications. I am terrified just looking at them."
How can a common man enjoy this funeral treatment?
Mu Tingxue snorted coldly and said stubbornly: "What a commoner? He is the eldest princess's consort and a member of the royal family!"
So what if the title is revoked?
As long as Yan Yang was still her legal husband, he was eligible to be buried with the royal family's standards.
Cui Ming and Yan Yun, mother and daughter, were both startled.
Immediately, tears of emotion welled up in their eyes.
Today, the Yan family has fallen. Instead, Yan Yang has taken advantage of the eldest princess, relying on his wife's noble status to lift her up and avoid being ridiculed.
"Not only does the mourning hall use royal standards, I have already ordered that the eldest princess's consort is buried with her in the eldest princess's mausoleum."
Mu Tingxue's mausoleum has been under construction for a long time.
It's not that she was cursed to die, but because she was the only orthodox descendant of the Xie royal family, and the ancestral temple valued her very much, so as soon as she was recognized, her mother had already started building a princess mausoleum for her, right next to the tombs of the Xie emperors of all dynasties. , asked Si Tianjian to order a piece of Feng Shui treasure point.
The mausoleum of the eldest princess is so luxurious that it is made of white jade. The underground palace is full of atmosphere.
The main tomb passage is fifty feet long.
The mausoleum had just been repaired, but Mu Tingxue didn't enjoy it herself. Instead, Yan Yang's empty coffin was carried in for burial first.
Cui Ming was shocked: "How...how did this happen? Qingyuan, you are still young..."
How could the eldest princess's consort, who was defeated and died in battle, demoted to a commoner, and whose reputation was ruined, be buried in the eldest princess's mausoleum with the royal family's etiquette?
Doesn't this mean that the eldest princess will not marry again in the future? !
The eldest princess has made up her mind to be buried with Yan Yang in a few decades?
"Your Highness, please think about it again." Yan Yun was also stunned, "Where do you want the next eldest princess's consort to sleep in a hundred years?"
I'm afraid the next one will be jealous to death.
My wife was buried with her ex, did he sleep outside?
"Don't think about it."
Mu Tingxue didn't even think about it.
At this time, Yan Lan and Cui Shining brought many carts of gold and silver property to the eldest princess's house to worship.
Yan Lan was the eldest sister. She burst into tears as soon as she entered the mourning hall.
Cui Shining looked sad, burned two sticks of incense, and started chatting with Mu Tingxue: "Your Highness, if such a big thing happened, please express your condolences. I heard that Your Highness has monopolized the relief for 250,000 martyrs and their families. Such courage and kindness , I feel ashamed and would like to share my worries with His Highness."
As the first of the five surnames and seven wishes, Cui's most important thing is money, and then land.
Yan Yang was killed in battle and the Yan family collapsed.
As the husband of Yan's eldest daughter, Cui Shining felt it was necessary to do something to help the family survive this crisis.
He is no longer the prime minister and has been pushed out of the cabinet. He can't help much politically, but he can provide a steady stream of support economically.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Mu Tingxue accepted this sentiment.
After counting, the eldest brother-in-law was really generous. He gave me 10 million taels just in banknotes. There are also hundreds of boxes of gold, hundreds of boxes of jade and jade, hundreds of boxes of antiques, 250,000 bottles of fine wine, and 50,000 shi of grain.
"So much food and wine were sent to Yundu today?"
"Exactly." Cui Shining nodded, "It's sent from my hometown in Youzhou. I'm not afraid of your laughter. There are many Cui family members. There are tens of thousands of slaves in the nursing home and so on. It's still not possible to transport these supplies into the city. questionable."
Mu Tingxue's heart skipped a beat.
Cui's family slaves, 10,000 people are escorting supplies into the city!
The so-called domestic slaves raised by the top aristocratic families are actually a potential military force.
Cui Shining still had that baby face that showed no age. He seemed easy to bully, but in fact he was also a smart man. He handed over to the eldest princess: "I placed them in Cui's Winery, Xingyuan Pickle Factory, and other places. In Cui's factory and shop, if His Highness is in need, you can just call at any time. They are all strong men who can use swords, guns and sticks."
The two exchanged a tacit look.
Cui Shining sighed quietly and looked at his wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law who were holding each other's arms and crying. The women of the Yan family, except for the eldest princess, were all in disarray.
At this critical moment of life and death, Yan Dang was about to be purged. If he didn't make some preparations, he could only sit back and wait to be killed.
"The Marquis of Qin has been negotiating with the envoys sent by Beiyu and Lufan in the past few days. He has spent an unknown amount of money, hoping that they will return Zhaoyi."
"Beiyu Country will not let people go easily." Mu Tingxue looked worried.
Beiyu Nation has been losing battles in recent years.
He was beaten to a pulp by Yan Yang, and in almost every previous war, he took Qin Zhaoyi with him.
The royal family of Beiyu Kingdom probably does not hate Qin Zhaoyi as much as Yan Yang.
*. *. *
Beimihe.
This is an extremely deep, extremely dangerous, and extremely wide river.
One side connects to the north, and the other side connects to Michigan.
This river also got its name.
The Northern Territory fell. After the peace talks, Beiyu not only demanded war compensation, but also demanded that the eight cities in the Northern Territory be ceded to them.
Yunhuang agreed shamefully.
In other words, Mizhou has now become the border of Yunhuang Kingdom, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Mizhou governor Zongzheng Yuanzhi heard the news and was so sad that he couldn't sleep a wink for several nights. He was originally a blind one-eyed man.
In the past, when the late emperor was in power, he once wrote a letter to advise the late emperor not to carry out large-scale construction projects that would waste people and money. The late emperor was furious and sent him to Zhao Prison. He was imprisoned for seven years, broke three bones, and lost one eye. With God's grace, he was pardoned and his official position was restored to his original position.
Where did this Tianen come from?
That was thanks to the eldest princess admonishing the Queen Mother Yan and proposing to pardon and release all the ministers who had been wronged by the late emperor.
It was spring last March.
There happened to be a plague in Mizhou, and the former governor of Mizhou got the plague and died.
After Zong Zheng Yuanzhi was pardoned, the eldest princess came with a medical team, accompanied by many special plague medicines.
That medical team is also very special. They were selected by the eldest princess after she presided over the first medical exam. All of them have superb medical skills. The leader is Fu You, who ranks first in the medical exam and is known as the little miracle doctor. girl.
Zong Zheng Yuanzhi was extremely grateful to Mu Tingxue.
Not only did they pardon him and reinstate him in office, they even gave him a political achievement as soon as he took office!
He successfully fought against the epidemic and was rewarded by the court.
It doesn't stop there.
The eldest princess not only gave him political achievements, but also gave him a wife.
Yes.
He and Fuyou got married.
After the epidemic in Mizhou ended, Fuyou did not return to Yundu, but stayed in Mizhou as a medical officer and became the wife of the governor of Mizhou.
