thank you + extra

After finding out, Liu Zao thought that these people had served his grandmother for many years and had worked hard, so he gave them many awards, which were both rewards and compensation.

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty had a will, which expressly ordered that "serve great meritorious service for fifteen days, minor meritorious service for fourteen days, and slenderness for seven days, and release the service". For the mourning of grandparents, minor meritorious service should be served, which is the fourth class among the five. The period is only fourteen days.Liu Zao felt that it was not enough, and wanted to act in the old manner before Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

Before Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, Xiaogong had to be served for five months.

Apart from that, she also arranged the rest of the details extremely thoughtfully, because of her hard work, there was an endless stream of people who came to pay their respects, and there was no one from the Three Kingdoms and nine ministers, which was no longer summed up in the word grand occasion.

However, Liu Zao was still not at ease, she couldn't sleep all night and night, and couldn't even smile with her arms, as if she collapsed in an instant.

She also knew that this was not good, and if she wanted to find someone to talk to, Xie Yi was the only one who might let her say something intimate.

There were too many people in the mourning hall, so it was noisy, and at night, when all the people dispersed, it was still quiet.Liu Zao is a maternal relative, so it was not her turn to guard the spirit, but her grandmother had no children and grandchildren, so she hastily adopted a nephew from a side branch, and recorded it under the name of her grandfather to continue the sacrifice.Liu Zao also felt that the nephew was not close to his grandmother, so he might not really pay homage to his grandmother, so he had to keep watch in person.

In this way, it is unavoidable to exceed the system and violate the etiquette.It is rare for the ministers to advise, and Yang Chang, the censor doctor, was the leader, and he spoke very harshly.

Liu Zao blamed himself, but felt that no matter how filial he was, it would be hard to forgive his sins, and the ministers even wanted to stop this.She couldn't help being furious, picked up a pen, and wanted to personally write an edict to reprimand him, seize his official position, and order him to go home to save himself. Yang Chang is old, once he seizes an official position, he probably won't be able to return to the court.Xie Yi was watching, so she wanted to persuade her. Such a hard fight might lead to major incidents. His Majesty is upset right now, so you might as well hand over this matter to her.

I don't want to, but before the remonstrance words came out, Liu Zao stopped writing again, took a deep breath, looked very depressed, and said to Xie Yi: "In the past, Teacher Huan wanted to learn step by step and only taught Confucianism. Dao has no way, it was Yang Chang who presented the Taishi Gongshu, which gave me a little inspiration from the lessons learned by the ancients."

She swallowed all the words of remonstrance, Xie Yi sighed in her heart, His Majesty is not a benevolent and cowardly king, but he has his own opinions, and most of them persisted, but he remembered a small act of kindness back then, and he didn't care about Yang Changxian at that time. The book is for herself, and she only remembers that she has benefited from it and wants to repay him.

Liu Zao's complexion was very pale, and her complexion was not good. The old lady passed away for three days, and she seldom closed her eyes. When she wandered in front of the spirit, or looked at the spirit seat, she often had a dazed look on her face. It seemed that she couldn't believe the old lady. Really died.

So she opened her mouth to speak and began to talk, which still made Xie Yi extremely worried.

"Your Majesty might as well issue an edict, first reprimand, and then ask Yang Chang to propose a regulation, asking him how to observe the etiquette and law, and at the same time make His Majesty filial. With this edict, the court will discuss that the funeral period is too short, and it must be Some ministers proposed to restore the ancient rites, and they went on arguing, and they couldn't care about His Majesty." When the debate came to an end, the funeral ceremony here was over.

When Liu Zao heard this, he thought it was ok, and he and Xie Yi nodded gratefully, sending people to draft an edict.

When the imperial edict was drawn up and issued, Liu Zao went to the hall to guard the spirit.

Apart from being busy with other things, Xie Yi stayed with her most of the time.Liu Zao was very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep when she closed her eyes. She was full of things to say, so she couldn't help but start talking to Xie Yi, talking about things from her childhood.

"When I was young, I found out about my life experience, and I was very resentful, especially since it was not a secret. My neighbors and family members always looked at me with contempt or pity, so I was very resentful. I feel that I am also of the Liu family, the grandson of Emperor Wu. , Why do I live in such a state of desperation and timidity. It was my grandmother who persuaded me."

In her memory, she lived with her grandmother, so there are many things to tell about the past.In the past, Liu Zao would not tell anyone about it. These things happened when she was down and down, and she said it as if she was begging for pity.

But when it comes to Xie Yi, she won't have such scruples.What's the matter with her that Xie Xiang doesn't know?She was only afraid that she would chatter too much and make Xie Xiang bother her.

So after a few words, she felt a little embarrassed, and hastily concluded: "Thanks to my grandmother, otherwise, I would be a cynical person."

Xie Yi wouldn't bother her, she was only worried that His Majesty would be unwell, so she spoke to her, "The old madam is kind to Your Majesty."

The mourning hall was solemn and solemn, the lights and candles flickered from time to time, and because it was summer, a lot of ice was placed on the hall for fear of the corpse rotting, which was actually a bit gloomy, but Liu Zao was not afraid at all.

Xie Yi was afraid that she would fall into sadness again, and said to her: "When the old lady lived in the courtier's house, she also mentioned several times about His Majesty's childhood."

When Liu Zao heard this, he really looked at her.

Xie Yi lowered her voice quickly, word by word, as if telling a story to her: "When your Majesty was young, one year he went on a spring trip, and His Majesty was inattentive and separated from his family..."

Liu Zao followed Xie Yi's words to reminisce, Xie Yi's voice gradually softened, Liu Zao gradually approached her, and at some point leaned on her shoulder.

"Finally found it, the old lady wept with joy, but she was also terrified, but His Majesty only smiled, not knowing what kind of disaster he had caused." Xie Yi finished speaking softly, and Liu Zao's breathing sank.

After staying up for three days and three nights, even hard-working people couldn't hold it.Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for a long time to make sure that Liu Zao was fast asleep, so as to prevent her from lying down, let her head rest on her lap, so that she could sleep more comfortably.

It is indeed impolite to sleep in front of the spirit, but Xie Yi is afraid that if she moves, it will wake up His Majesty, and the old lady loves His Majesty so much, the spirit under the spring knows, and will not blame His Majesty.

It was still three hours before dawn, but Xie Yi didn't feel sleepy at all. She looked at Liu Zao's sleeping face by candlelight, and couldn't get tired of watching it.Liu Zao fell asleep, so she curled up her body. By daybreak, she had unknowingly approached Xie Yi's lower abdomen. She didn't know what she had dreamed of, and she still rubbed her head against Xie Yi's abdomen. is intimate.

Xie Yi pursed her lower lip and looked down at her. Liu Zao's skin was very fair, but her hair was as thick and thick as a crow's feather.Xie Yi dazed, raised her hand to lightly touch the junction of Liu Zao's forehead hair and skin.Her hair was silky and smooth, but her skin was a little cold. Xie Yi's fingertips slowly moved down, stroking her cheeks, and slowly reached the corners of her lips.

Liu Zao moved a bit, and put his arms around Xie Yi's waist.Xie Yi felt like waking up from a dream, and quickly withdrew her hands, her chest heaving unceasingly.

When Liu Zao woke up, it was already [-] o'clock, she opened her eyes and saw Xie Yi's chin, she was startled for a while, blinked a little dullly, and hurriedly sat up.

"Your Majesty is awake." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao's face was completely red, she nodded, and couldn't help but look at Xie Yi's legs, she slept all night on Xie Yi's pillow.

"Your Majesty, let's go wash up." Xie Yi said in a steady voice.

Liu Zao hurriedly agreed, stood up, and secretly paid attention to Xie Yi's expression, but saw that her expression was extremely calm, which could be called calm.Liu Zao blushed, but also tried to make herself look calmer, and said calmly: "Mr. Xie, go and take a rest quickly to catch up on sleep."

Xie Yi said, "Okay."

Liu Zao really couldn't stay any longer, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, her face was burning like a fever, and she walked away quickly.

After she left, Xie Yifang stood up with the support of a few desks, and let Liu Zao sleep all night. Her legs were already numb, and when she stood up straight, her knees hurt like countless needles.Xie Yi frowned invisibly, and didn't make any show of it, just stood quietly, and when she was better, she put incense on the old lady before walking away slowly.

There must be someone in charge of the government, Liu Zao is in the old house, Xie Yi has to support the government affairs for her, so he goes to the government office instead of taking care of sleep.As soon as the emperor issued an edict, the court really went to discuss mourning clothes.The great man ruled the world with filial piety, but the period of mourning was actually shorter.

Emperor Wen's "Short Funeral Edict" set the day to month, and the maximum period of three years was shortened to 36 days.The time for mourning should be determined according to the severity of the grief, and the mere 36 days of mourning and remembrance are far from enough.Zilu thought three years was too long, and Confucius criticized him for this.

Many of the ministers thought that the period of three years should be restored, but it was set by Emperor Wen, and the emperor was the descendant of Emperor Wen, so overthrowing it would be unfilial.Xie Yi didn't open her mouth, and only asked them to discuss, so that His Majesty could send the old lady off for the last time with peace of mind.

After they finished their discussion, they came to the conclusion that the old edict of the former king could not be changed. It was already early winter, the old lady was buried in the mausoleum, and the old house was still there, but Liu Zao didn't like to go there.

The death of the old lady was insignificant in the court. After the funeral, the old house was deserted and no one mentioned it, as if the grand occasion of the funeral was fake.

Liu Zao doesn't care much about this, as long as she remembers her grandmother, that's enough. Others don't know her grandmother at all, so what difference does it make if they mention her or not?She also recovered and resumed her previous routine.
