In the fifth year of Yuan Feng, on the twenty-sixth of October, it was the day of Jiang Wuqi's funeral.
The specifications of this funeral were unprecedented.
The ceremony was presided over by the Imperial Court Adviser, Wen Yanyu, overseeing the Ministry of Rites.
The Son of Heaven decreed:
Ninety guards affiliated with the Longevity Palace, and six hundred officials from the Clan Office were in mourning for twenty-seven days.
All civil and military officials of the court wore mourning clothes without hats for seven days.
Even as respected as the Son of Heaven, they also removed their hats for three days for the ceremony.
An honorary carriage was set up in the main hall of the Longevity Palace, with princes and ministers gathering to perform the rites as per convention.
Outside the hall, a banquet was held, with fifteen seats arranged.
