Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 340 Burial
On February [-]th, the weather was beautiful, and the sun was shining brightly on the day when Gao Huan was buried.

Yuan Shanjian stopped outside the city of Luoyang, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, regardless of whether they were close to the Gao family or not, wanted to send Gao Huan to Mount Mang.

Mangshan, Gao Huan Mausoleum.

"Carry the coffin, help the spirit, and send off King Xianwu of Qi respectfully."

Following the chanting of the ceremony officer, the soldiers lifted Gao Huan's coffin from the cart given by Yuan Shanjian and sent it to the tomb.

Eight close people are needed to accompany Gao Huan's coffin for the last journey.

As the eldest son, Gao Cheng was naturally among them, and the other seven candidates were also selected by him early on, namely:

Gao Huan was the long history when he was governor of Jinzhou, Sun Teng from Huaishuo, as a friend at the end of the century, and also an important participant in Xindu Jianyi, Sun Teng must undoubtedly occupy a place.

Although Sima Ziru had never participated in Xindu Jianyi, he was also a friend of Gao Huan when he was in Huaishuo, and he had an inseparable relationship, so Gao Cheng also included him as one of the eight people.

Gao Long's original surname is Xu, but he is also a brother of the same clan recognized by Gao Huan. He worked under the tent when he was in Jinzhou. After the Gao family seized power, he assisted Gao Cheng in guarding Luoyang. He can't be missing.

Because Wei Jing, Lou Zhao, She Digan, Duan Shao, Hu Lujin, Gao Yue and others are all working in other places, and Dou Tai is still on his way back to Luoyang, such as Cai Jun.Liu Gui died of illness early.

For the remaining four, Gao Cheng can choose according to his own will.

As an important hero of Xindu Jianyi, General Gao Aocao of the Gyeonggi Army, as Gao Huan's uncle and a general under Gao Cheng's command, is loyal and loyal, so he must be counted no matter what.

The former general of Jinyang, Xue Guyan, originally followed the Hanlou rebellion. After returning to the imperial court, he was recommended by Liu Gui and went to Jinzhou to follow Gao Huan. During the first Western Expedition, Gao Huan was hunted down by He Basheng. It was Xue Guyan. With Dou Tai in danger as the savior, he was able to escape by chance. Gao Cheng could never forget Xue Guyan.

He Baren, as the governor of the tent, followed Gao Huan in Xindu and broke with the Erzhu family. He had many military exploits. As one of the generals Gao Huan proposed at the end of his life, Gao Cheng also counted him among them.

The last spot was given to Peng Le by Gao Cheng as a means of kindness.

Before Peng Le returned to Gao Huan, his resume was not very glorious, but he did follow Gao Huan step by step from Jinzhou, which can be called a great military exploit.

However, Zhu Hunyuan, Liu Feng and others mentioned by Gao Huan when he was dying were not selected by Gao Cheng because they had never participated in Xindu Jianyi.

Including Gao Cheng himself, among the eight people, only Sima Ziru, relying on his status as Gao Huan's old friend, was able to jump over the threshold of Xindu Jianyi.

The so-called helping spirits is actually of no real benefit, but it represents the friendship with the deceased, and more importantly, the preferences of the mourner Gao Cheng.

Maybe you made a mistake in the future, and when you are about to be punished, you can shout out: "I have shed blood for the Gao family, and I have helped the spirit of Gao Wang." '

Maybe he can get a lighter punishment, of course, it's not sure, after all, everything depends on Xiao Gao Wang's wishes.

The torches illuminated the dark tomb passage, and when they walked to the tomb, what they saw was indeed as Gao Cheng said in Gao Huan's will, everything should be kept simple.

There is no gold or jade buried in the tomb, and even the utensils are made of pottery, which is definitely not commensurate with Gao Huan's status and achievements.

"Your Majesty, why don't you add more funerary objects."

Sun Teng is already 60 years old, and when he gets old, he tends to miss his old friends. He and Gao Huan have known each other for decades. Seeing the shabby tomb of his old friend, with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help persuading him.

"Father's legacy, as a son, dare not violate it."

No one except Gao Cheng knew how much Gao Huan had said, but judging from the number of civil and military ministers that Gao Cheng had wooed these days, those who said allegro were no better than He Liuhun's sharp tongue.

It's not that Gao Cheng is reluctant to part with those gold and jade artifacts. Although there has been a trend of frugality in Prince Qi's residence recently, it is indeed not so poor. Once Gao Huan is buried richly, he has to worry about whether those craftsmen and civilians will rob the tomb for gold. Congratulations to Liuhun for peace.

The original owner, like many rulers, chose to kill all the craftsmen to keep the secrets of the tomb for Gao Huan, but there was a son of a craftsman who knew the location of the tomb, and after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he dug stones for gold.

As a modern person, Gao Cheng would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Between the thin burial and the thick burial, Gao Cheng weighed again and again, and then he chose not to seal or tree, and to congratulate Liuhun with a thin burial, just like the story of Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao’s tomb was not discovered until later generations is that the funeral was simple. Cao Pi launched a pen to publicize that there were no burial gold and jade artifacts, and he was not valued by tomb robbers. No one knows where his tomb is, so there is a legend about the so-called 72 suspected tombs.

Of course, apart from pottery, Gao Cheng still left some things in Gao Huan's tomb. For example, Zhang Shiqi's masterpiece "Records of Gao's Entrepreneurship" was published as an inscription and buried in Gao Huan's tomb.

If it is really like Cao Cao's tomb, it will not be discovered until later generations.

Presumably, the book "Records of Gao's Entrepreneurship" can make future generations better understand the current history, such as Xiao Gao's robbery of the horse, Erzhu was furious; He Liuhun was persecuted and had no choice but to betray his master.

Besides, Gao Huan himself has only read this paragraph, and Gao Cheng has always kept the content behind it hidden. Now the full text is buried with him. If someone knows, he can read it occasionally to relieve boredom.

Seeing Gao Cheng's firm attitude and the so-called Gao Huan's legacy, Sun Teng no longer persisted.

The coffin landed steadily on the coffin bed, and the other seven people who were ordered to help the spirit cried like their hearts were broken. Gao Cheng knew that according to the rules, he should also cry, but this time he didn't act again. Gao Huan said goodbye, the crying of others only made him feel noisy.

Gao Cheng frowned and said:
"You wait and wait in the tomb first, Gu will come back later."

Ever since he became the King of Qi, Gao Cheng also called himself a widow in formal occasions, but in private he would still refer to himself as I, Wu, Yu, etc.

Everyone didn't dare to bother their father and son to say goodbye, leaving only a torch, they left the tomb one after another, and waited for Gao Cheng to come out in the tomb passage.

In the tomb, only Gao Cheng was left silently caressing the coffin.

After a long time, everyone saw Gao Cheng holding a torch and coming out, his eyes were slightly moist.

Walking through the tomb passage, Gao Cheng saw the sun again, the sunlight made Gao Cheng's eyes a little bit stingy, he rubbed his eyes, and everyone behind him came out one by one.

Gao Cheng turned around and watched the tomb door being slowly closed, and the door-sealing stone rolled down from the landslide behind the door, firmly blocking the tomb door.

"The world belongs to me, and the underworld asks my father to fight first." '

The scorching sun is like fire, the era belonging to Gao Huan has come to an end, and the new Gao Wang stands on the high platform of power, and he is alone.

　I'm going to have a meal, and I'll write after eating.

　　Thanks to the book friend 20220915221406825 for the reward.
