Chapter 352 The world is pure
Noticing that the person beside him had stopped breathing, Ying Zheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he shook her body with trembling hands, "Queen Dowager...Mother!!!"
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and collapsed on top of her like a curled-up animal. His body trembled slightly, and he felt his palms gradually become cold. He finally realized that the Queen Mother was gone...
Memories of the past seemed to reappear before him.
She's really gone—
Ying Zheng felt his mind go blank, he was at a loss and the whole world seemed to have lost its color, almost making him unable to breathe.
On this day, the death knell of the imperial city was sounded!
The first ring, the second ring... the continuous ringing of the bells startled everyone in Xianyang City and they all went out to see what was happening!
The bells kept ringing, a sign of national mourning.
Soon news came out that the Queen Mother had passed away.
The whole world was in an uproar for a while.
The entire city of Xianyang was clad in mourning, and white banners instantly flooded the entire place, leaving not a single extra color in sight.
The eunuchs and palace maids changed into coarse mourning clothes and burst into tears. The princes and ministers dressed in plain white linen clothes poured into the palace from all directions.
Those who had received the Queen Mother's favor, upon hearing the news, went outside, banged their heads on the ground, and cried out in unison.
There was no more noise in the tavern, and the wine flags were taken down; the teachers in the college could no longer lecture, and the noisy reading sounds in the classroom were replaced by sobbing; in the fields, the old farmers put down their hoes, knelt on the ground and cried incessantly.
With Xianyang as the center, the earth seemed to have been paused.
The whole world is in mourning, all the people are mourning, and the mountains and rivers are grieving.
When Zhang Liang heard the news, he couldn't believe it at all. It was unknown how long it took before he came to his senses. His face was already cold and he had only one thought in his mind: this must be fake!
Madam Mi appeared before him with a pale face and couldn't help sobbing, "Liang'er, the Queen Mother is gone!"
He hurried to the palace and saw his teacher who was also dressed in plain clothes, and countless civil and military officials dressed in mourning clothes behind him, staring blankly at everything in front of them.
The flags hanging high in the imperial city have been replaced with white banners, and the endless crying around him tells him this cruel reality.
"Put it on!" Han Fei handed the plain clothes to him. Zhang Liang took it with trembling hands. Just this action drained all his strength.
According to the will, Ying Zheng should have buried the Queen Mother and the Emperor together, but he was worried that he might not be able to see the Queen Mother in the underworld, so he insisted on burying her in his own imperial tomb.
"You see, I am so willful. If you don't agree, then come and stop me!" Ying Zheng looked at the queen mother who seemed to be just sleeping, and his voice choked.
No one would dare to disagree in front of him.
Fusu and Ziying cried until they had no strength left. Now that their great mother was gone, no one would love them anymore.
The coffin lid slowly closed...
Ziying rushed forward, grabbed the coffin lid, and cried incessantly, "Grandmother, Grandmother, please wake up! You said you would never abandon me again!"
The young man's mournful cries filled the entire hall, and many people couldn't help but shed tears when they heard the sound.
After the coffin was closed, the Taizhu chose an auspicious day to move the coffin out of the funeral palace and send it to the Mausoleum of the Lishan Emperor.
The huge funeral procession was winding and there was almost no end in sight. On both sides of the road were people who came to see him off. They spontaneously followed the procession, wearing white mourning clothes and crying loudly.
Most of them were farmers from nearby, following from a distance with their elderly and children.
The officials wanted to expel them, but they pleaded, "The Queen Mother has been very kind to us. Please allow us to escort her!"
For a while, the cries and begging continued.
The messenger came and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that any common people who wish to see you off can follow behind the guards."
Starting with these farmers, more and more people joined in, including children from the academy, merchants from street shops, Confucian scholars who came after hearing the news, and the survivors of the six kingdoms who had been taken care of.
They may not have received the Queen Mother's kindness directly, but today in the Qin State, the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. From ancient times to the present, no country has had such an upward spirit, and the Queen Mother has made an indelible contribution to this.
I haven't met him yet, but we have all received his kindness, so it's only right and proper for me to come here to see him off.
Under the escort of tens of millions of people and amidst continuous crying, the Empress Dowager's coffin was buried in Mount Li.
Because of this, another interesting story arose. After that, whenever an emperor of the Qin State did something foolish, many people would run to the foot of Mount Li to cry at his grave and accuse the emperor of his mistakes to the empress dowager.
The death of the Empress Dowager caused considerable turmoil in the Qin State, but fortunately the emperor is now young and strong, and the turmoil has gradually subsided.
But some pain still exists in some people's hearts.
Many people were surprised to find that since the Empress Dowager passed away, both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Ziying had made rapid progress and had become an almost unstoppable force in the court that could not be underestimated.
In the 26th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, Crown Prince Fusu and Prince Ziying came of age.
The First Emperor sent Prince Ziying as the Inspector to inspect counties and prefectures throughout the country. If any officials committed crimes or disobeyed Qin laws and refused to obey the supervision, they could be executed first and reported to the emperor later.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also toured the world on behalf of the First Emperor and got close to the people!
The prince's reputation spread from then on.
Everyone thought the Queen Mother's passing was over...
The Qin State will enter a new era of prosperity.
Zhao Yuanxi opened her eyes again and was met with a dazzling white. The faint smell of disinfectant in the air made her realize that she was in the hospital.
Her fingers moved, and the people next to her immediately woke up, "You're awake! Doctor! Doctor! She's awake!"
Zhao Yuanxi blinked and looked at the familiar face in front of him, somewhat confused.
Isn't this her former student? What's going on now?
System: [Host, since your previous body has been burned to ashes, I can only find someone who is the most compatible with you. This body was previously your student Zhao Ling, who jumped off a building not long ago and became a vegetable!]
【Jumping off a building? Why did she jump off a building?】
It's been over two years since you suddenly passed away. The project you were working on has been taken over by someone else, so Zhao Ling had no choice but to continue her research under the new advisor. However, that advisor seized her research results and accused her of plagiarism. She was so upset that she jumped from your school's teaching building.
Zhao Yuanxi never expected that his sudden death would have such consequences. [Who did it?]
[This is your former junior! I'll sort these things out and send them to you later!]
Zhao Yuanxi still had a lot of tubes inserted into his body and was unable to move at all.
The doctor came over to check and was amazed. "The patient was already brain dead, but I didn't expect him to wake up! How are you feeling now?"
