The ancients had different views on the death of people of different classes.
The death of an emperor was called Beng or Di Beng.
The Emperor, Queen Mother, and Queen Mother were the direct elders of the Emperor, and their status was there.
They were also called Beng when they died, and they looked like what they were.
The Queen Mother, who was called the Queen Mother before the court and whose power was equal to that of the emperor, should be called the Queen Mother even more when she died.
The deaths of Empress Dowager Dou, Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Dowager Cixi are also called collapse in history books, because they all had considerable power when they were alive.
In addition, the emperor's high-ranking concubines, princes, princesses, princes, and princes with fiefdoms are called dead when they die; ministers and officials are called pawns when they die; scholars are called bulu when they die; common people are called dead when they die; children die young or die of illness 's death.
“The Queen Mother collapsed” “The Queen Mother collapsed” The sounds of pain came from the palace one after another, and the ministers outside the palace gate also knelt down in the direction of the palace, crying and shouting: "The Queen Mother has collapsed."
How many of these people are really sad and how many of them are fake?
I'm afraid only they themselves know.
The palace door opened, the ministers got up and wiped away their tears and lined up in two queues to go to the palace.
This time the court meeting was held in the Quefei Hall of the Nangong Palace.
The death of the Queen Mother was a big deal.
Major events that required a court meeting were usually held in the Quefei Hall of the Nangong Palace.
It is not held in the palace.
Quefei Hall is big, impressive and grand enough.
Major celebrations and meetings with foreign envoys are held here.
Every courtier who comes to the jade steps of Quefei Hall must receive a set of mourning clothes and put them on before they can go up the steps and enter the palace.
Liu Cheng's eyes were red, and he kept scanning the ministers who walked in.
When he saw Dong Zhuo walking in, he immediately rushed up, grabbed Dong Zhuo's lapel and asked: "Dong Zhuo, is it you who caused the Queen Mother's death?"
Dong Zhuo was a little panicked.
He grabbed Liu Cheng's hand and tried to break it off, but he couldn't break it off.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "Liu Cheng, are you crazy?
The Queen Mother passed away.
Who is not heartbroken?
Our family knows it."
It must be the same for you, but you can't bite people like a mad dog, let go, let go."
Liu Cheng stared at Dong Zhuo and said coldly: "Dong Zhuo, fires broke out in Yong'an Palace and Deyang Palace one after another.
I don't believe that these are coincidences.
Who among the palace officials and eunuchs have the guts to murder the Queen Mother?
Even if they have the guts to do it, they don't have the ability."
Kill the two elite soldiers of Deyang Palace.
Who else in the world has the courage, ability, and motive to do this besides you, Dong Zhuo?"
Lu Zhi, Ding Gong and some other ministers saw that the two people were openly fighting in the main hall, and hurriedly came to break up the fight.
It took more than ten or twenty people to pull the two away.
Liu Cheng's arms were pulled back by the ministers, and he raised his legs.
He kicked Dong Zhuo and yelled: "I have to kill you old boy today.
Let me go.
Let me go."
Dong Zhuo pointed at Liu Cheng and cursed angrily: "You are a mad dog.
You will bite anyone you see.
Liu Cheng, my family tells you, don't frame our family.
Even if our family has the intention, we are unable to break through the palace guards to do this." , most of the guards in the Northern and Southern Palaces are your Liu Cheng people.
Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, you have poured dirty water on them.
Regarding our family, our family would like to ask you, how did you do it when the imperial court gave you the important task of guarding the palace?

Now that the Queen Mother is buried in the sea of fire, you, the Lieutenant of the Forest, will not be able to escape the blame, as well as the Lieutenant of the Tiger Guard.
"General Kong Rong, what are you doing for a living?
If you don't give an explanation to His Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty today, it will never end."
Liu Cheng laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, Thief Dong, this general will definitely investigate to the end.
If I find out that you sent someone to do it, I will definitely tear you into pieces."
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Go and investigate, you go and investigate.
If you say I sent someone to do it, then show me the evidence.
If you can't say it was done by someone from my family, it must be someone from our family."
Is there any justice in the world if people in the world want to pour dirty water on others like you?
Our family also said that it was you, Liu Cheng, who sent people to do it.
Everyone knows that most of the guards in the palace are your people.
It would be too easy if you did it."
Dong Zhuo's words were heard by the ministers, and many people felt that his words were reasonable.
Although they did not like him very much, a few of them were not preconceived.
At this time, the eunuch Zhao Chun walked up to His Majesty Dan and shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"
"I respectfully welcome your Majesty, long live, long live," the ministers all shouted to pay homage to the emperor.
Liu Bian looked sad and had a cowardly personality.
Now that Queen Mother He died, he became more introverted and timid.
His eyes were red and swollen, and he walked to the throne timidly and sat down.
He raised his hand and said: "Pingshen" The ministers stood up, and Lu Zhi came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother passed away, and the ministers are crying unbearably.
Please forgive me, take care of the dragon body, and arrange the memorial and funeral as soon as possible."
Liu Biandao: "According to Liu Qing's suggestion, I have decreed that Taichang Ma Rixi will preside over the memorial and funeral services.
During the funeral, wedding banquets, birthday celebrations, celebrations, singing, dancing and other entertainments are prohibited.
All the places are closed for business; those who commit crimes during this period will be punished by one degree, and the edict will be copied by the Chancellor and promulgated to the world as soon as possible."
Lu Zhi immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Many of the ministers were secretly worried, because many of them were the backers of those brothels.
If these happy places closed down, wouldn't they lose a lot of tribute, but they couldn't come out to oppose it, and they couldn't.
There is no reason to object, we can only hope that Queen Mother He will be buried as soon as possible.
Liu Cheng stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the death of the Queen Mother was too sudden.
Last night, Yong'an Palace and Deyang Palace in the North Palace caught fire one after another.
I doubt it was a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
I thought I would order someone from the Si Yamen to be dispatched immediately.
A capable person will investigate and find out the truth of the matter."
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "Liu Cheng, are you a thief and calling to catch a thief?"
Although most officials had a bad feeling for Dong Zhuo, they also felt that Dong Zhuo's suspicion was not unreasonable.
You must know that most of the guards in the palace were Liu Cheng's people, and it would be easiest for him to succeed in murdering the Queen Mother He.
Liu Cheng ignored Dong Zhuo and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, according to the eunuchs and maids, the Queen Mother woke up after the fire broke out in Yong'an Palace, and she also ordered Liang Chengyi, the Yulin Army Commander who was guarding Deyang Palace, to lead a team to Yong'an Palace to put out the fire. , such a big thing happened, the Queen Mother must not be able to sleep anymore, but then another fire broke out in Deyang Palace.
Since the Queen Mother did not fall asleep, she could escape calmly before the fire spread beyond control.
Deyang Palace, but she did not escape, including two Yulin Army soldiers and a palace maid, they all died in the palace.
There is no problem for the Queen Mother and the palace maids to be in the palace, but if the Yulin Army soldiers did not assassinate, They could not enter the palace without the Queen Mother's order, but they died in the palace.
Isn't this questionable?
Unless someone killed them first and then carried their bodies into the palace, or something abnormal happened in the palace. " "The clerk of the Luoyang County Government made a preliminary judgment on several charred corpses and found that the four corpses had traces of knife wounds, but they could not tell whether they were burned to death or killed first.
If we want to go further, To get the answer, an autopsy must be conducted.
I ask your majesty to agree to allow further autopsies to be carried out on them.
If it is found out that the cause of their death was stab wounds, it means there was an assassination, and we can pursue them further."

Dong Zhuo immediately jumped out and pointed at Liu Cheng and shouted: "Liu Cheng, are you crazy?
Even if you want to investigate the case, you can't desecrate the Queen Mother's body.
You must be crazy.
Your Majesty, you must not agree to this.
I strongly oppose it."
This time Dong Zhuo seized an opportunity to oppose Liu Cheng's suggestion, and naturally he would not give up easily.
Some officials who relied on him also jumped out to oppose it under his hint.
Even Lu Zhi, Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Ma Rixi and other senior ministers believed that this method would desecrate the Queen Mother's body and should not be used.
Otherwise, if this spread, they and other ministers would be scolded by the people in the world. .
Lu Zhi said: "General Liu, let's forget about the further autopsy.
Is this the only way to investigate the case?
Not to mention how people in the world will scold us, just talk about how we will face the Queen Mother.
It is extremely disrespectful for the spirit in heaven to desecrate the remains of the Queen Mother, and we cannot afford to bear this crime."
Liu Cheng became angry, pointed at this group of people and cursed: "You are just a bunch of rotten scholars.
Only by finding out the truth, catching the murderer, and uncovering the mastermind behind it can you be most loyal to the Queen Mother and be worthy of the Queen Mother's spirit in heaven."
Kong Rong stood up and said firmly to Liu Cheng: "General Liu, I firmly disagree with the autopsy.
Is it possible to do anything to show loyalty to the Queen Mother and to comfort the Queen Mother's spirit in heaven?"
The court was almost unanimously opposed to Liu Cheng's proposal to conduct an autopsy.
Only then did Liu Cheng realize that this was a gap in the concepts of the times.
These ancients believed that touching the body of the deceased after death was too disrespectful, and even more so.
What's more, the deceased was Queen Mother He, so she couldn't be moved.
But without an autopsy, how could we prove that these people were killed first and then burned?
Liu Cheng took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said: "Okay, if there is no autopsy, there will be no autopsy.
This general will definitely find other ways to find the murderer and uncover the mastermind behind it."
At this time, Ding Gong stood up and saluted Liu Bian under Dong Zhuo's suggestion: "Your Majesty, such a big thing happened in the palace, and there was such a big flaw in the defense, which caused the empress dowager to suffer, and even burned down the Deyang Palace.
Someone must take responsibility.
Lieutenant General Habayashi, Lieutenant General Tiger Ben, and the Guards of the Two Palaces all have unshirkable responsibilities.
Please punish them."
Kong Rong was honest and bachelor.
He walked out and took off his official hat, knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I am responsible for what happened last night.
Please resign from the position of Tiger Guard and Lieutenant General.
After hearing your Majesty's resignation," "Damn, what a pig!"
Liu Cheng cursed in his heart.
He couldn't help but kick this guy to death who failed to achieve anything but failed.
Ding Gong had obviously turned to Dong Zhuo, but Kong Rong stupidly set up a trap for them.
After being tricked into the trap, Kong Rong, the Tiger Warrior General, resigned and apologized.
What should he, the Yulin Lieutenant General, do:
