After hearing this, the Sixth Prince's face turned extremely ugly.
The emperor has issued an order prohibiting the burial of living people. He is really bold.
The Sixth Prince guessed that it must be Guagua who told Song Yaoyao, and he did not continue to ask. If he delayed any further, the woman in the coffin would not be saved.
The Sixth Prince directly ordered some of his men to block the funeral procession, and another group to report to the authorities.
Funerals and burials all have time calculations, and everyone's faces turned pale when their way was blocked like this.
The funeral procession was approaching, and a man came out and shouted:
"Who are you and what are you trying to do by blocking the road?
This is the funeral procession of Shangshu Langzhong's son.
Can you afford to delay the burial?"
The Sixth Prince's men drew their swords, and those people dared not speak anymore.
When the Shangshu Langzhong recognized the Sixth Prince, his heart skipped a beat. Could the Sixth Prince have discovered something?
Shang Shulang walked out of the funeral procession with a nervous heart, bowed to the Sixth Prince, and said:
"Sixth Prince, my son has been weak since childhood and unfortunately passed away. Today is the day of his funeral.
Please give me some convenience, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, Shang Shu Langzhong bowed to the Sixth Prince again.
The Sixth Prince ignored him and asked the coffin bearers to put down the coffin.
An old lady with gray hair heard this and stood in front of the Sixth Prince, burst into tears and said:
"Sixth Prince, you can't bully us just because you're a prince!
Don't you know?
Can't the coffin fall to the ground halfway after it leaves the door?
After the coffin leaves the house, it must be carried all the way until it is placed in the tomb.
You asked them to put down the coffin halfway, because you don't want my grandson to rest in peace?
Even if you are a prince, you can’t break the rules..."
After saying this, the old lady started crying.
The Sixth Prince didn't say anything, and his expression became extremely ugly.
Song Yaoyao: [Guagua, can't the coffin be put on the ground before it reaches the cemetery? ]
Guagua: [There is such a saying.]
There are several different reasons why the coffin cannot touch the ground during a funeral:
One theory is that if the coffin falls to the ground, it means that the dead person is still attached to the earthly world, and the dead person's soul will stay where it falls and will not go where it should go, which will be a threat to the living.
Another theory is that if the coffin falls to the ground during the funeral procession, it means that the coffin has been touched by soil, and the place where it falls should be where the deceased is buried.
There is also a saying that during the funeral procession, the coffin cannot touch the ground. It must be put down at the burial site. Otherwise, the soul will regard the place where it first touched the ground as its resting place, filling this place with evil spirits, and may bring disaster to the world in the future!
Song Yaoyao: [I didn’t expect there are so many different opinions.
The old lady did not allow the coffin to land on the ground, so the Sixth Prince brought a few followers with him. With so few people, they could not force the coffin to land on the ground.
The old lady kept crying:
"Sixth Prince, you can't rely on your status as a royal family member to bully us like this!
We are just holding a funeral, we are not doing anything else, you can't delay the burial of my grandson!
..."
The old lady's crying attracted a lot of people to watch.
Song Yaoyao: [The old lady wants to use public opinion to force the Sixth Prince to give way. What a cunning scheme! ]
Guagua: [This old lady is not simple. ]
Sure enough, everyone started pointing fingers at the Sixth Prince. They also advised the Sixth Prince that death was the most important thing and that he should not delay the burial. They asked him to make way first...
The Sixth Prince's expression became increasingly grim, but he still did not give way.
As the old lady watched more and more people talking to her, she cried even harder.
The Sixth Prince felt that the old lady in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than the court officials.
