Jinling, the Imperial Mausoleum of Purple Mountain.
The funeral presided over by the former Prince Xian is being held here.
There were very few people attending the funeral, including the prime minister of the previous dynasty, Yan Beixi, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Yan Shidao, the eldest princess of the previous dynasty, Yu Shurong, Dong Kangping and Peng Yuyan.
There were three people to be buried in this funeral: Emperor Retired Yu Baibai, Emperor Yuan Yu Wendao, and Empress Dowager Shang Ruoshui.
As for Yu Chunqiu, Peng Yuyan buried him in the Cangxi Plain - that was where Yu Chunqiu belonged.
This guy buried the emperor's family of three, and also announced the end of the Yu Dynasty.
Yan Beixi was neither happy nor sad, and even he himself didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
Emperor Xuan reigned for only twelve years, and he served as prime minister under Emperor Xuan for twelve years.
How should we evaluate Emperor Xuan?
He is diligent in his work.
He was also able to listen to the ministers' opinions.
He was aware of the shortcomings of the Yu Dynasty, and he was working hard to make it better.
His entire life's dream was to establish a prosperous Xuande era, which was just around the corner. However, he made the mistake that all emperors are prone to - suspicion!
As Fu Xiaoguan's abilities grew, and as the time for Fu Xiaoguan to return to the Wu Dynasty drew closer, he finally became uneasy and made the foolish move of assassinating Fu Xiaoguan, which resulted in Fu Xiaoguan not handing over the Huang Kingdom to the Yu Dynasty, but instead taking another path.
If Emperor Xuan had not done this to Fu Xiaoguan, based on Yan Beixi's understanding of Fu Xiaoguan, the two countries would certainly have moved forward hand in hand, because Fu Xiaoguan really loved Yu Dynasty.
He and Yu Wendao will still be best friends, and he will share his ways of governing the country with Yu Wendao so that the Yu Dynasty can become better and better.
But we can't go back to the past.
Emperor Xuan never saw the prosperous Xuande era he had hoped for until his death, but instead saw the disaster of national destruction.
If people could live again, Yan Beixi didn't know what Emperor Xuan would choose... Killing Fu Xiaoguan earlier was actually a good choice.
As for Yu Wendao, he was born at the wrong time.
He wanted to make a desperate attempt to escape the trap. He planned such a big game, but he didn't know that he himself was already in the game.
Yan Beixi thought that this game within a game was the work of Fu Xiaoguan, and Fu Xiaoguan thought that this game was the work of Ji Yungui. Only Ji Yungui and Zhou Tongtong knew that this game was the work of Emperor Wen Wu Changfeng.
Wu Dynasty, Hanling Temple Imperial Tomb.
This place is located on the northern foot of Hanling Temple. It is quiet, elegant and remote with beautiful scenery.
Today, the Empress Dowager went to the bedroom, and the civil and military ministers of the Wu Dynasty and the people of Guanyun City came to see her off for hundreds of miles!
The funeral procession was like a long dragon, with no end in sight.
These people gathered spontaneously out of respect for their emperor. They already knew that their emperor had established a great empire!
They also knew that this empress dowager, whom they had never heard of, died at the hands of Monk Fan Guo in order to protect their emperor.
Because of this incident, Hanling Temple almost suffered.
Monks are not good people!
The angry people of Wu Dynasty rushed into Hanling Temple. If it were not for Fu Xiaoguan's order, Hanling Temple would probably have disappeared.
The one who presided over this Dharma Assembly was Master Huijue of Hanling Temple. Master Huijue once felt that it was very wronged, and now Hanling Temple has not much connection with Buddhism in Fan State, but now he feels it is worth it, because he sees the strong cohesion of the people of Wu Dynasty!
Such a country will naturally prosper.
Fu Xiaoguan, his ten wives and nine children walked in front, supporting the coffin.
Further ahead are the monks led by Master Huijue.
According to legend, Xu Yunqing came from a Taoist sect, but his master ran away and Fu Xiaoguan couldn't find a Taoist priest.
I thought that Xu Yunqing was not an ordinary person, so she probably wouldn't care about these things.
This reborn mother probably didn’t live long in her previous life, otherwise why would her Nan Ke Ji only have three pages?
Otherwise, how could she not know that she would die in the border town?
How many things did this reborn mother see in her previous life?
Since she knew that she was a time traveler and she also knew those poems, I was probably dying just as I was beginning to make a name for myself in her world.
She completed her understanding in this world. She realized that her son had pioneered the great career he has today, and she should be happy.
There are actually many loopholes in the stories that the master told. For example, as the emperor at that time, Wu Changfeng had no need to cause an avalanche in order to retire.
He could easily imprison Queen Mother Xi and let her live out her days away from the center of power.
He could have smoothly handed over power to Fu Xiaoguan at that time. He could have assisted Fu Xiaoguan in governing the country, or he could have gone looking for Xu Yunqing to live with him.
He didn't do that, he chose an extreme path!
This doesn't make sense. There must be a reason, but the master is an outsider and doesn't know it.
As for Xu Yunqing, no one knew what kind of irreconcilable conflict there was between her and Emperor Wen.
Logically, since she faked her death and escaped, and since Empress Dowager Xi was dead, she could come out again and stand by Emperor Wen's side.
But she didn't, she had never even met Emperor Wen.
Even though Emperor Wen's coffin was placed in the White Horse Temple, she did not open it to take a look.
Did she have any feelings for Emperor Wen?
Maybe there was, otherwise she wouldn't have told her master that she was going to Fan State to find that person.
But maybe this was part of Chunlei's plan, and she had to go.
Who else could understand the truth of these things now? Fatty must know something. After all, he and Xu Yunqing had been together for a while in Linjiang. After all, Xu Yunqing went to the Taoist temple. Fatty was still Xu Yunqing's second senior brother.
As for Shang Ruoshui...Fu Xiaoguan respects his mother-in-law very much.
But the fat guy was too shameless. From Su Changsheng's few words, Fu Xiaoguan certainly heard the story.
If it weren't for the fat guy's trouble, Shang Ruoshui probably wouldn't have committed suicide.
People like her must understand the final outcome after knowing that the two countries are at odds.
She did not come to Wu Dynasty, but stayed in the West Mountain Villa. She was waiting for news, waiting for the news that her son and her son-in-law had decided the winner and were both alive.
She believed that she would not kill Yu Wendao, and she also believed that Yu Wendao would not kill her.
When it comes to the country, one person's life is not important.
If those damn monks hadn't come, if Xu Yunqing hadn't died in front of me, I really didn't want to kill Yu Wendao.
In any case, this brother-in-law was a good brother with whom I used to talk late into the night and drink and sing.
But he happened to do such a dirty thing and let the monks know that he was in the border town.
But Su Changsheng was just one step late.
Is this a coincidence?
Fu Xiaoguan's heart sank. Yu Wendao said that those monks were his support, which means that the final key point of the Spring Thunder Plan lies on these monks.
They wanted to kill him, and Xu Yunqing was just an innocent victim.
Since Border Town was the key point of the Spring Thunder Plan, why didn't Zhou Tongtong or Ji Yungui tell him? Why didn't they ask Master Su Changsheng to come and hide there earlier?
This is again unreasonable, especially for such a major plan.
Deviations from the plan are inevitable, but such deviations at the most critical link are absolutely unacceptable.
Why is this?
Fu Xiaoguan was lost in thought and unknowingly arrived at the square in front of the imperial mausoleum.
The coffin was placed on a high platform in the square. Master Huijue led a group of monks to perform a ritual for two hours. Finally, Fu Xiaoguan and his son escorted the coffin to the imperial mausoleum for burial.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial mausoleum, the guard opened the door.
Fu Xiaoguan and his party walked inside and came to a huge tomb chamber on the side - this was once the tomb of Emperor Wen. The coffin was still there, and incense and candles were burning on the altar in front of the coffin.
Fu Xiaoguan's gaze suddenly stopped and his eyes slowly narrowed, because the team stopped and the sword in the hand of the guard in front was already unsheathed - there was a person kneeling in front of the altar!
"Zhou Tongtong!"
Zhou Tongtong stood up, Fu Xiaoguan walked over, and Bei Wangchuan followed closely behind, holding the Sun-Shooting Bow in his hand and putting an arrow on it, locking onto Zhou Tongtong.
Zhou Tongtong did not look at Bei Wangchuan, but bowed to Fu Xiaoguan and said, "Your Majesty, I will die!"
Fu Xiaoguan looked at Zhou Tongtong carefully, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he wanted to see every hair on Zhou Tongtong clearly.
"I trust you so much, and this is how you treat me?"
"To protect your family's safety, I sent two Saints to Jinling. If it weren't for you, would my Queen Mother have died?"
Fu Xiaoguan was furious, and his voice echoed in the mausoleum.
He seemed to have forgotten that no noise was allowed in the mausoleum, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"You did a great job! If I knew Fan Wuxiang would come to the border town, would I be caught off guard by him?"
"Zhou Tongtong, you really deserve to die a thousand times. I will make you take ten thousand cuts before I die!"
Fu Xiaoguan let out a long breath, "Come here, take Zhou Tongtong away!"
From beginning to end, Zhou Tongtong didn't say a word, and even his expression didn't change at all.
His face was pale and full of guilt, but the angry Fu Xiaoguan didn't notice it.
Zhou Tongtong's guilt stems from the death of Emperor Wen and the Empress Dowager. If she had been more independent at the time, Emperor Wen would have died of old age, which could not be changed, but the Empress Dowager would never have died.
A big mistake had been made. Zhou Tongtong could not face the dead Emperor Wen, nor could she face the living Emperor Wu, nor the Emperor Dezong in front of her.
He was taken away.
The auspicious time had arrived, and Xu Yunqing's coffin was placed next to Emperor Wen's coffin. Fu Xiaoguan walked up and saw that the lid of the coffin was open.
He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and gathered all his inner strength, then struggled to open the coffin lid.
"Bang……!"
The coffin lid fell, startling everyone.
Fu Xiaoguan stared at the coffin with wide eyes. Inside was a corpse that he was very familiar with!
The one who summoned him to the Wu Dynasty to participate in the literary meeting, treated him very kindly, and gave the imperial seal to his father—
Wu Changfeng!
