C127 The Crematorium Commander Sent Ling Tian to Nourish the Forest
"Mr Qu, before Mr Lee died, he asked us to hold a cremation for him, then we will sprinkle his ashes into the ocean. I will leave this matter to you. "
"Bury? Why would he want a cremation? He would die without a complete corpse. " General Qu asked in surprise.
"Mr Lee said that he always liked famous mountains and rivers. He always had a dream in his heart, which was that he could swim through the beautiful scenery of the world. Unfortunately, he never had the chance again, so he hoped that we could sprinkle his ashes into the sea so that he could blend into the famous mountains and rivers. "
"So that's how it is. Then this official will do it right away. "
"En, that's right. Notify all the ministers and envoys tomorrow. Tell them that Lord Lee will be cremated in the Heaven Nourishing Forest in seven days. If anyone wants to send Lord Lee on his last journey, then rush to the palace gates in the morning seven days later and set off together. "
"Bury Lord Lee in the Heaven Raising Forest!"
"En, I know that the scenery there is very good. Although it is winter now and there is not much of a beautiful scenery, the spring, summer, and autumn scenery there is very pleasant. That's why I want to cremate Lord Lee there. You should go there in advance and make some arrangements. "
"Yes, Your Majesty. "
"Qing Yun, Qing Yun, what's wrong with you? " The Emperor saw Qingyun using his hands to support his head as he staggered a little.
"Emperor, Emperor, this official also did not know. This official only felt a little dizzy. "
"Do you want me to pass on the message too much? The Imperial Physician will let you take a look? "
"It's fine, Your Majesty. Maybe it's because I haven't rested well during this period of time. I should be fine in a while. "
"That's good. You must take care to rest. Also, Mr Lee's corpse has been placed in the spirit room. Your current matter is to keep an eye on the spirit room. You are not allowed to go and worship the person who will harm Mr Lee's corpse. "
"This official obeys the decree. "
"En, then the two of you can leave. "
"Yes. " After saying that, the two of them bowed and left.
The next day, Sima Yuer woke up early and got dressed. But only then did she realize that the medicine for her injuries was gone. She searched everywhere but could not find anything. She did not continue to search because this medicine was very precious to others. However, it was not worth mentioning to her. She came to the front of the pigeon cage, picked it up, and walked out to release the pigeon. Xiner and the rest saw the pigeon fly up from Jinluan Kingdom in the courtyard and knew that it was Yuer who released the pigeon. Only then did they completely relax.
It was also at this time that the news that the Emperor was going to cremate Lee Xiangyu also reached their ears. Sima Yuer hurriedly ran to Xiner's side.
"Ms Xiner, did you hear the news? The Emperor is going to cremate Lord Lee in seven days. "
"En, I heard it. The people of the Central Plains have always wanted to bury the deceased. Why would the Emperor cremate Lord Lee?" Xiner frowned as she thought.
"That's right. I also feel puzzled. If Lord Lee was cremated, wouldn't he die without a complete corpse?"
"That's right. It's really strange. But since the Emperor wants to cremate Lord Lee, there must be a reason behind it. Let's not study it. " Although Xiner said so, She felt that all of this was too incomprehensible. However, to be clear about this matter. . . Perhaps it could only be solved when she sent her spirit.
"Mm, I can't figure it out even if I want to. Right, Ms Xiner heard from the person who sent the message that if we want to send Lord Lee off, we can go. Do you want to go?"
" Of course I'm going. After all, Lord Lee's disaster started because of me, so it's only right that I send him off. Are you going? "
"I'm going. It's because I didn't cure him. I'm sorry for him. The only thing I can do now is to give him a final ride. "
Just like that, seven days passed. According to the custom, after seven days, the deceased will be buried in peace. General Qu was instructed by the Emperor to do so. Arrangements were arranged for a very spectacular Spirit Delivery Team. This was already the highest Spirit Delivery Ceremony in the Ming Dynasty. Only those with outstanding merits would be buried with this kind of etiquette after death. All of the civil and military officials and ambassadors who had not left also rushed over, including Sima Yuer and Xin'er.
When Xiner saw the four of them carry Lee Xiangyu out, she carefully observed him and did not find anything unusual. The one who carried him was indeed Lee Xiangyu. So she borrowed General Qu's busy time to ask him why they cremated and not buried him. After getting the answer, Xiner nodded thoughtfully.
The group that sent the spirit was basically all of Royal Guards's people. They had previously asked General Qu to carry the spirit and send their lord on his last journey.
When General Qu saw that everyone had arrived and the time was almost up, he waved his hand and the group walked towards the Heaven Nourishing Forest in a grandiose manner.
Lee Xiangyu's corpse was in the middle of the group, and the corpse was not put into a coffin. Instead, it was placed on a tablet, surrounded by fresh flowers. The four Royal Guards carried the four corners and walked forward. The various ambassadors followed behind the Spirit Sending team, while the ministers followed behind the ambassadors. For safety's sake, they had a large number of soldiers by their side to ensure their safety. General Qu and Mu Qingyun rode at the front on their horses. As they walked, Mu Qingyun suddenly felt a splitting headache and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, he and General Qu were walking side by side and was pulled by General Qu.
"Prince Mu, what happened to you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just suddenly have a headache. I'll be fine in a while. I don't know why, but I've been having headaches for the past few days. Thank you, General Qu, for helping me out. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have fallen off my horse. "
" You're too polite, Prince Mu. I think you should look for the Imperial Physician to take a good look when we get back. "
"En, let's finish this matter first. " After saying that, the two of them continued to walk forward.
The group quickly left the Imperial Palace. At this time, the Emperor was sitting in the study room with Princess Jinyu standing beside him. Royal Guards saw that the group that sent the spirits had left and came to inform the Emperor. After the Emperor heard that, he nodded his head and let him withdraw.
"Royal Brother, will they believe you doing this?"
"I think they will believe. After all, all of this is true. "
"Royal Brother, how are you going to thank me?"
"Thank you?"
"Yeah, what are you doing? You don't want to reward me anymore after you're done with the job, do you? asked Wang Yao. You should know that Royal Brother, I have played an important role in completing this plan. "
"Haha, good. I must reward you properly. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
"This. . . I haven't thought about it yet. Royal Brother, help me remember first. I will tell you after I have thought about it. Hehe. "
"Hehe, alright, you ghost spirit. Then let's wait for General Qu and the others to return. "
After a while of travelling, they finally arrived at the Heaven Nourishing Forest. Although this place was covered in snow, it could be seen that it was a lush land with trees. There were all kinds of pavilions and lakes here. It was indeed a rare and beautiful place.
