The day for the burial ceremony arrived, but the weather was cold as usual.
Between the heavens and the earth, many things were mixed. The cold wind blew against the white cloth and banner. The former emperor's coffin was extremely extravagant. It was embellished with gold, silver, and pearls all around, and it was tied with white silk. At first glance, it didn't look like a coffin that held a dead body within. Rather, it looked like a meticulously-carved artistic product.
Jiang Pengji was dressed in broad, tidy official wear. She coldly looked on as the burial ceremony proceeded.
The finances of the nation were depleted. They owed a huge debt. Many officials mentioned that they wanted to be thrifty, but all-around extravagance was apparent.
