Chapter 164 The Mountains and Rain Are Coming (4.6K)

In the courtyard.

Looking at Lao Su with a dignified face, Wang Tin couldn’t help but stepped forward and asked:

“Uncle, but something happened in the palace?”

Among the people left behind by Lao Su, except for Xu Yun, they are all officials in the Song Dynasty system.

It also includes Zong Ze, who is related to Lao Su, but the relationship is not particularly close.

Therefore, if there is no accident, there is a high probability that something happened in the palace—and it is not a particularly high-level secret, and it will probably gradually spread within a few hours or a day or two.

Old Su obviously didn’t intend to be a secret, he was silent for a moment, and slowly spit out a few words:

“The Empress Dowager passed away.”

“?!”

Hearing what Old Su said.

The courtyard was quiet at first, and then boiled up immediately.

The old man’s eyes flickered a few times, and he frowned and asked:

“Su Gong, when did the Empress Dowager die?”

Old Su looked around a few times, made sure there were no idlers around, and then said:

“This is the news that just came from the palace official, and it will not take more than an hour and a half at most—His Royal Highness King Jian went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother yesterday.”

Hearing the words, the old species sighed slightly.

Empress Dowager Xiang was five years older than him. She was the great-granddaughter of Xiang Minzhong, the Prime Minister of Song Zhenzong, and he was the grandson of Zhong Shiheng.

Xiang Minzhong, as the head of the Korean and Chinese officials, has always been at odds with Zhong Shiheng.

Therefore, some of the enmity between the two has also been passed on to the next generation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a feud.

In Lao Zhong’s childhood, he had conflicts with the Empress Dowager Xiang many times. (See “Song History Volume 335 Biography Ninety-Fourth”)

After both parties become adults.

The queen mother married Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, and Lao Zhong became a teacher of Zhang Zai and became the third class.

Later, Lao Zhong disobeyed Cai Jing’s will because of his comments on the labor law, and became hostile to Cai Jing.

The old one was banned for ten years.

The Empress Dowager Xiang is the opposite of the old one. She is extremely close to Cai Jing, and can even be regarded as one of Cai Jing’s nobles.

For example, after Song Huizong ascended the throne, Cai Jingben was dismissed from office and released to the outside world. It was Xiang Huizong who ordered Huizong to stay in Cai Jing to complete the work of compiling history.

Although Cai Jing was dismissed from office by Gong Fu, Chen Shixi and others a few months later, he got to know Han Zhongyan during his stay in Beijing, which led to his follow-up recovery.

Of course.

At this time, Cai Jing was still in the stage of staying in Beijing to revise history, and many subsequent things had not happened yet.

But this does not affect the bad perception of Cai Jing by the old people – after all, the ten-year enmity between the screen and Fei cannot be resolved by Cai Jing’s dismissal.

And because of this.

The conflict between the old species and the Queen Mother gradually reached an irreconcilable point.

However, the two sides, as “monarchs and ministers” who are not so fatuous and extreme, have always had a prerequisite for their rivalry:

The country is stable.

For example, the Queen Mother knew that the Western Army could not lack the veterans, so the suppression was suppressed, but she did not cut off her own arm like Zhao Gou or Wan Yan Gou killed Yue Fei.

What the Empress Dowager Xiang did was to support Wang Hou, Lao Zhe, and even Tong Guan, so that they would gradually replace Lao Zhong’s position in the Western Army.

The old practice is the same, never bringing personal relationships into the battle of the frontier army.

But right now, the Queen Mother will die.

The situation became a little more delicate.

After all, the current King Duan, everyone knows how good he is

Don’t say anything else.

Just looking at the thirty-one sons and thirty-four daughters he gave birth to before he was captured, one can tell what kind of emperor this is.

Then the old species suddenly thought of something, and said to Lao Su:

“Gong Su, where is Wang Zezhi? Where is he at this time?”

Old Su raised his eyelids and glanced at him, quickly realized what the old Zhong was worried about, and said:

“Don’t worry, according to Yuan Nian, Suwei is only on guard, and there is no sign of mobilization.”

The real name of Wang Zezhi in Laozhong’s mouth is Wang En. He is currently the commander of the front of the palace, that is, one of the standard “Nine Taiweis”.

Using a modern metaphor, Wang En is the head of the security regiment, the confidant of the confidant.

Hearing that Wang En didn’t make much progress, the old man couldn’t help but let out a deep breath:

It seems that the death of the Empress Dowager, there is no such thing as a secret death, it is indeed a natural death

Then he thought about it, and turned to Wang kindly:

“Chu Dao, the Empress Dowager is dead, our identities are a little sensitive, let’s go back to the Wuxin Army and stay.”

Wang Hou nodded and agreed:

“Good.”

The old man saw that he bowed his hands to Lao Su and Xu Yun again, and said:

“Su Gong, Xiao Wang, something happened suddenly, Chu Dao and I, as border commanders, have some things beyond our control, so we can only leave first.”

“Xiao Wang, after the affairs of the Queen Mother are finished, the old man will come to talk to you about skills in detail.”

At this time, Xu Yun was still in astonishment, and when he heard the words, he quickly returned the salute subconsciously:

“It’s okay to be an envoy, but it’s okay to go. When you need it, you can just say it.”

Old Su looked around a few people, pondered for a moment, and said:

“Xiaowang, Rulin, Zhengchen, Zhengru, you are either white or not high-ranking, so go back to your house first, and I will send off the envoy and general Wang.”

Wang Bao and others looked at each other and took orders at the same time:

“Yes!”

Then everyone parted, and Xu Yun returned to the house with a calm expression.

After closing the door.

He leaned his back against the door, resting his head on the door panel, and sighed with complicated emotions.

If it was just a guess before.

Now she is sure that the queen mother really fell for Lao Su.

Otherwise follow normal trajectory.

Even though the Empress Dowager Xiang’s health is not good, she can survive for at least four more months, and she won’t die until the beginning of next spring.

That is to say, his little butterfly has indeed affected the direction of the historical trajectory in some dungeons.

Think here.

He turned around involuntarily, arched his body slightly in a certain direction, and saluted.

Although he and Queen Mother Xiang have never met.

But in a sense, the Empress Dowager Xiang’s death four months earlier has nothing to do with his arrival, but a causal relationship.

Therefore, Xu Yun’s salute is not considered big, nor is it an act of hypocrisy, but a salute out of the bottom line.

Then he walked to the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter in Morse code:

“Rye Erguotou Kai.”

“.The Empress Dowager passed away, and the plan code-named ‘Unheard by Readers’ can be officially implemented.”

“so so. so so”

After an hour.

Xu Yun sealed the written letter with oil wax and put it in his cuff.

When I went out, I found Mr. Duguan Xie, and asked:

“The boss is in charge, is the third brother in the house at the moment?”

Mr. Xie was concerned about the fact that he was preparing a sacrificial speech for Lao Su at the moment. Hearing this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

“Yes, I saw him in the south wing just now, and now I’m sending someone to find him?”

“Then Lao Lao will take care of it.”

“Small matter, just wait.”

Old Du Guan cupped his hands at Xu Yun, stopped a servant, and gave him the task of finding Zhang San.

The servant answered yes, and hurriedly led away.

Xu Yun and Mr. Xie parted ways and returned to the small courtyard alone.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Zhang San appeared outside Xu Yun’s courtyard:

“Brother Wang, I heard you are looking for me?”

Xu Yun nodded, handed him the envelope in his hand, and instructed:

“Third brother, please go out and deliver this letter to the mansion in Hewang Lane that we visited before, and say that Niao Jiulian gave it to him.”

Zhang San nodded and patted his chest:

“Understood, leave this to me!”

After Zhang San leaves.

Xu Yun put his hands behind his back and sighed faintly.

Then in the next half a day.

Xu Yun, who was free, gradually witnessed a process of information dissemination:

During the first few hours of the death of the Queen Mother, only Lao Su and other officials in the system knew the situation.

But half a day passed.

Yue Lian and several high-ranking servants in the mansion also vaguely got the news, whispering.

Later, Xu Yun took a stroll around the street and found that many people on the road were like the riddlemen of the later generations. When meeting acquaintances, the answer is “Hey, have you heard?”

When the other person sees this, he will mysteriously point to the sky, and they will all raise a silent smile.

Waited until the night of the day.

Zhang San, who came back from delivering the letter, looked like a small vendor selling electronic watches in the 1990s. He pulled Xu Yun’s cuff in a thief-like manner, and opened his mouth, “Brother Wang, the queen mother is dead.”.

Another night passed.

Early the next morning.

铛—

On Suzaku Street, the servants of Jingzhao Mansion rang the death knell, and the death of the Empress Dowager was officially announced to the world.

According to the rules of “Book of Rites King System”.

After the death of the Son of Heaven, he will be buried in seven days, and in July.

The princes were buried on the fifth day and the fifth month, while the officials, scholars, and common people were buried on the third day and the third month.

Among them, the treatment of the queen mother is somewhat similar to that of the emperor. She will be buried on the seventh day and buried in May.

However, Zhou Li has such a requirement, mainly because of the choice of cemetery and divination of the auspicious day for burial.

In addition to the time for the princes from all over the country to rush to the funeral, it will be relatively lengthy.

Of course.

There is also a rumor that the ancients wanted to see if the dead would be resurrected.

Waited until the Song Dynasty.

The emperor’s burial time was shortened to 3-5 months.

The empress dowager’s burial custom was changed to a small burial on the third day, and a large burial in the coffin on the fifth day. She can be buried one to two months later.

What?

You ask why the remains don’t stink and rot when the summer is so hot?

the reason is simple.

When the remains of the empress dowager or the emperor are not buried, ice cubes should be placed under the corpse bed, and they should be continuously replenished.

In addition, before the Zigong is enshrined, both the funeral hall and the mausoleum must be wrapped with layers of plant ash, charcoal, bamboo mats, etc.

These materials play the role of isolating air and moisture to a certain extent.

at the same time.

The embalmers in charge of funerals in the palace will also soak the body in special essential oil for a period of time, and wax it or something.

After the official encoffining, there will be 49 layers of paint on the outside of the coffin—of course, the 49th layer is the treatment of the emperor, and the treatment of the queen mother is due to reasons that some idiot author can’t find out, so let’s pay attention to it.

If you encounter some crazy people again, you will fill the coffin with mercury, which looks like a thief.

Although Lao Su has already retired from his official position, he only needs to be present on the day of the funeral and offer a sacrificial speech.

But this is a very sensitive matter after all, so Lao Su did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.

Therefore, in the three-person class on the second day, for the first time, only Xiao Li was present.

In the classroom.

Looking at Xiao Li who was obediently listening, Xu Yun wrote a few words on the blackboard:

“Miss Li, what we are going to learn today is a geographical concept called terrain rain.”

Xiao Li blinked:

“Terrain Rain?”

Xu Yun nodded and said:

“Yes, orographic rain is one of the four major precipitation forms in the world, and the other three are frontal rain, convective rain, and typhoon rain.”

“The reason why orographic rain has this name is because it is a type of rain caused by the blocking effect of terrain.”

“When the humid air flow is forced to rise when it encounters high ground such as mountains, the temperature will drop, and precipitation will eventually form.”

“The hillside where precipitation occurs happens to be on the windward side, so this mountain face is the windward side.”

”The image of this kind of rain before it is formed is generally very impressive, as if the sky is falling. For example, Xu Hun in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem describing terrain rain in “Xianyang City East Tower.”

“Rising and sinking pavilion at the beginning of the stream and clouds”

“The rain is about to come. The wind is full of the building.”
