I don’t know why, even now, Liu Deng is still a little unbelievable. Is that old man who was sometimes kind and sometimes sinister just gone?
Liu Deng's mind was so full of random thoughts that he didn't even listen to the arguments of the courtiers.
"Everyone, please listen to me. Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he loves his people like a son. He is a sage king that has never been seen in the ages. It's a pity that the year never ends. Now that your Majesty has gone, the country cannot live without a king for a day. We should immediately Nominate a new king! Veteran minister Shen Tujia respectfully invites His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne of emperor!"
Among all the people present, only Shen Tujia's status was the most appropriate to say this. After all, he was the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Officials all over the world respect him. If he doesn't speak, it will be difficult for others to speak.
"I believe that what the Prime Minister said is very true. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and honest, and he has been in charge of the country for many years, so his talents are known to the world. I, Chen Wu, Marquis of Tang Yi, respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne of the emperor!"
In any case, Chen Wu, his brother-in-law, naturally wanted to support the prince at this time.
Besides, this is just a smooth favor. If you jump out to speak first at this time, it is a good opportunity to reap the benefits for nothing.
After Chen Wu finished speaking, ministers from all walks of life in the court also began to come forward one after another.
Only those who originally supported Liang Wang Liu Wu now showed hesitation.
Many people were staring at Liu Deng who was standing aside in a daze. After all, as one of the few men in the world who could stand side by side with King Liang, Liu Deng's opinion was really important.
However, Liu Deng was still in a fugue at this moment. Until now, he had not realized that everyone in the court was waiting for him to express his position.
Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, who was standing behind him, quickly reached out and pushed Liu Deng, and Liu Deng suddenly woke up.
"Look at your statement! Support His Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne!"
Chen Wu lowered his voice and spoke behind Liu Deng.
"On behalf of the King Liu Deng, I respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne of the Emperor!"
Liu Deng reacted suddenly and hurriedly stepped forward and said with his hands in hand.
Liu Deng's statement immediately made the situation clear. With the help of the remaining ministers, they couldn't cause too much trouble.
"His Royal Highness Prince Liang is here!"
Just when they were in trouble one by one, Liang Wang and Liu Wu finally walked in with bandages on their heads.
Fortunately, everyone is wearing mourning clothes now, and the white bandage on his head is not too eye-catching.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone understood that Liang Wang Liu Wu's attitude would determine the direction of things next.
Shen Tujia's pupils began to shrink. If Liu Wu had objected on the spot, what would happen next would be interesting.
"Your Majesty, King Liu Wu of Liang, respectfully invites His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne of the Emperor!"
Liu Wu's words immediately stunned everyone.
Even the officials who originally supported Liu Wu were all shunned.
No one understood why Liu Wu came back with his troops in such a furious manner, but then surrendered without saying a word?
But no matter what, Liu Wu himself had given up, and the remaining ministers naturally had no reason to continue.
"I respectfully invite His Highness the Crown Prince to succeed you as Emperor!"
All the ministers knelt on the ground, and there was no longer any suspense about the inheritance of the throne.
"Father! You have given this huge burden to me, but how can I ask my son to bear it?"
Seeing the ministers kneeling down, Liu Qi could only reluctantly accept it, but before accepting it, he still had to complete the drama of giving in and giving in.
Liu Deng was a little absent-minded. He followed the ministers and knelt down three times, blending in with the crowd like a puppet on strings.
Fortunately, now, the ministers' attention is no longer on him, and no one is finding fault with him.
Everything is similar to the original process of history, with the new emperor's succession ceremony and the reading of the last emperor's edict.
It is natural for the prince to ascend the throne. Naturally, every one of the ministers in the palace will receive a reward.
It's just that Liu Deng's reward was extremely generous, and all the officials suddenly looked at him.
Although since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the position of the princes and kings has been passed down from father to son.
However, there has never been such a thing as resting with the country.
Liu Deng came from later generations, and his understanding of these four words is still very one-sided.
But these old fritters in the court are really jealous of each of these four words.
The meaning of these four words is that no matter whether Liu Deng's descendants are madmen or fools, even if he is a heinous bastard and a rebellious rebel, the position of the king of this generation is still his!
This is the real, iron-clad king!
This is a death-free gold medal left by the emperor to Liu Deng!
From now on, Liu Deng has completely escaped the suppression of imperial power.
At this moment, Liu Deng's brilliance even overshadowed Liu Wu's.
But fortunately, the emperor is gone now, and people soon turned their attention to arranging a posthumous title for the emperor.
To mourn the emperor, the posthumous title is of course the first thing that needs to be determined.
After a tense debate, just like the process of history, the fifth emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, was named Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty and his posthumous name was Emperor Xiaowen.
Emperor Wen lived a simple life. During his tenure, the Han Dynasty made great progress in both civil affairs and martial arts.
When he first took office, the Han Dynasty had just gone through the Zhulu Rebellion, and there was blood everywhere. Now, although the Rebellion of the Six Kings preceded it, at least it was a large-scale chaos.
Moreover, reconstruction work in various places has begun to gradually proceed, so when the posthumous titles were assigned to the emperor, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still gave him the two beautiful posthumous titles of Xiao and Wen.
After deciding on the temple name and posthumous title, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
Everything was done according to regulations. Under Shen Tujia's arrangement, he first sent out detective horses to report the funeral to the princes in various places, and ordered the princes from all over the country to return to Beijing for the funeral.
Then he began to convey orders to the garrisons in various places. During the national war, defenses against barbarians in various places were strengthened.
Liu Deng picked up a huge bargain, but he still couldn't be happy for some reason.
Following Liu Wu, who had no ambition to compete for supremacy, he was like a puppet on strings, his eyes empty as he followed everyone's constant salutes...
The death of the emperor was naturally devastating news to the people of the Han Dynasty.
After the news spread, the entire city of Chang'an was filled with chaos.
Unlike the chaotic situation outside, the Queen's palace was completely silent at the moment.
After listening to her daughter read the emperor's last will and testament, Queen Dou seemed particularly calm.
"You go out, I want to be alone for a while..."
The man she once loved and hated just passed away without saying a word, but at this moment, she had no tears anymore...
