[Nothing Happens in the Southern Suburbs 2 Dog Eats Dog]
Jiang Xuanhui and others accepted Zhu Wen's secret instructions and stepped up arrangements to force Tang Chan to give in.
Jiang Xuanhui and others did not dare to neglect. They were loyal to Zhu Wen. They were good at understanding Zhu Wen's heart and had the courage to take the blame for their master. They were dedicated losers. However, "abdication" was a very ritualistic activity. It has a certain mysterious color and is much higher than killing people. It is difficult for "young and humble" diaosi such as Jiang Xuanhui to control.
At this time, Liu Can, the licking dog, looks particularly cute.
Compared with the "Conglong Gang" such as Jiang Xuanhui, the "Old Minister Gang" such as Liu Can were wealthy and handsome men with noble births, hereditary nobles, and scholarly families. They were more familiar with palace affairs. In particular, Liu Can, who made his debut with "Liu's Interpretation of History", has the aura of a "young historian" and is knowledgeable about the past and present. He is the talent Jiang Xuanhui and others are eager to find, and Liu Can is also actively moving closer to Zhu and Wen's party, so ever , the two hit it off immediately and regretted meeting each other so late.
In the antique wooden reception room, Liu Can was sitting in the main seat in a casual and comfortable posture, and beside him was Jiang Xuanhui, who was slightly reserved. At this moment, Jiang Xuanhui was listening attentively and nodding frequently.
Liu Can held a folding fan in his hand, with a leisurely expression, chatting about the past and present, eloquently speaking, "Respecting the virtuous and giving way to the virtuous has existed since ancient times, and there are precedents for abdication." In the past, Emperor Yao was smart. Wen Si, who dominates the world, will be inferior to Yu Shun'..."
Jiang Xuanhui's eyes were full of admiration, and he suffered the loss of not having read "Shang Shu".
"Yao gave way to Shun, Shun gave way to Yu, and Yu passed on his sons. This talent will rule the world," Liu Can showed off his knowledge and talked eloquently. Pangu created the world, Nuwa patched up the sky and created man, three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors established their relationships. , the First Emperor's unification to this day, "Han abdicated to Wei, and Wei abdicated to Jin... A set of clear, fixed, and standardized procedures for abdication have been developed."
Finally getting to the point, Jiang Xuanhui wanted this program.
Liu Can raised her face, her confidence mixed with a certain amount of arrogance, and her composure mixed with a certain amount of disdain.
Although it is said that the ancient emperor Yao initiated the abdication system, it was Cao Pi during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty who truly became the industry rule-maker. The process of Emperor Xian’s abdication was regarded as a standard process and template by later generations. Generally this is the case:
The imperial court conferred the title of king on those who received Zen in the early Jin Dynasty, such as the King of Wei;
Then add "Nine Tins", which is the highest courtesy given by the emperor to princes and ministers. The nine items include chariots and horses, clothes, guards, weapons, etc.;
Then grant privileges such as "entering the court without rushing", "praising and worshiping without being named", and "going to the palace with swords and shoes";
Then all the ministers jointly petitioned the emperor to give way to a virtuous man;
Then the emperor expressed that he had no intention of coveting the throne, and was willing to give way to the worthy, and issued an edict to abdicate and let a certain comrade take his place and work day and night for the people of the world...
Of course, during this period, various places will report to the police one after another, reporting supernatural events or sightings of mythical beasts in their territory; the Central Meteorological Bureau will also report changes in the stars, which means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new... In short, the sky is warning, God is sending a message to the police. Mortals send an important signal: change the emperor quickly.
At the same time, starting from the time when the king is granted the title of king, the Zen recipients must constantly refuse to refuse, saying that their virtue is not enough, and they only want to be loyal ministers of the dynasty and do the things of Yi Yin and Huo Guang. Generally speaking, you have to stick to your words three times, and the things you do can only be done three times, and the meaning is enough.
When being rejected by the Zen master, the ministers and the emperor would fight hard, and even threaten to death the third time. "If you don't accept it, our civil and military officials will die in front of you!" "If you don't become the emperor, I will kill you!" Just wipe your neck!"
Therefore, the Zen recipient reluctantly, almost crying, agreed to the request of the people of the world and the emperors and ministers of the court, "You forced me to do this! In fact, I really don't want to be..."
In the end, a good time and an auspicious day was selected to hold a grand abdication ceremony. The old dynasty came to an end, and a new dynasty was born. The Yuan Dynasty was amnesty and the dynasty was changed.
As if Jiang Xuanhui had found a treasure, he began to act according to the rules. On the day when Zhu Wen gathered an army from Xiangzhou to attack Huainan, the imperial court issued a letter of appointment appointing Zhu Wen as the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses (Marshal of the Arms and Horses of All Ways), which was carried out step by step.
You have to drink wine one sip at a time, and you have to take one step at a time. If you take big steps, you will easily pull your balls.
Although Jiang Xuanhui was good at guessing Zhu Wen's heart, this time he failed to find out Zhu Wen's pulse. Zhu Wen was eager to ascend to the throne of the emperor, and Zhu Wen was a "little humble". He did not have a well-known scholar like Liu Can around him, and he did not bother with cumbersome and lengthy formalism. What he wanted was not a marshal, a king, or a nine-year-old man. He only needs a two-word title - emperor.
Zhu Wen became angry and scolded Jiang Xuanhui and others for their ineffectiveness and procrastination.
"Hurry up!"
Jiang Xuanhui was afraid, and the "waiting people" were even more afraid, so the losers who stayed in Luoyang started fighting among themselves. We have the right to call Zhu Wen's confidants who stayed in Luoyang the "Three Envoys Gang" because the core are Jiang Xuanhui (Privy Envoy), Wang Yin (Xuanhui Beiyuan Envoy and Imperial City Envoy), and Zhang Tingfan (Street Envoy). These are the three envoys. After the capital was moved to Luoyang, the three of them served as street envoys, imperial city envoys, and palace envoys in Chang'an respectively.
In short, both inside and outside the palace were controlled by the "three envoys". The other important positions are also occupied by Zhu Wen's cronies, so I call them collectively the "Three Envoys Gang".
If there is no party outside the party, there will be imperial thinking; if there is no faction within the party, there will be all kinds of strange things.
There are also small groups, hilltops, and gangs within the "Three Envoys Gang" who compete for power and jealousy with each other. As the core figure of the "Three Envoys Gang", Jiang Xuanhui was also envied, jealous, and hated by other members, and felt the naked hatred from his peers. For example, another core figure, Wang Yin, deliberately tried to get rid of Jiang Xuanhui in order to replace him.
Wang Yin found a capable helper-Kong Xun.
Kong Xun was born in a poor and humble family, and his family background was unknown. He was an orphan living in Bianzhou. He was adopted by Li Rang, a local tycoon in Bianzhou, and regarded him as his adopted son. After Zhu Wen established the town of Bian, he adopted Li Rang as his adopted son, and Kong Xun became Zhu Wen's son. Godson. Later, a wet nurse of Zhu Wen's sons liked him very much and adopted him as an adopted son. So Kong Xun took the wet nurse's husband's surname - Zhao, and his first name was Yin Heng. When he later became rich and powerful, He changed his name back to his original name. As usual, we always call him by his original name "Kong Xun".
It is also worth mentioning that Zhu Wen's adopted son, Li Rang, a local tycoon in Bianzhou, was not only the adoptive father of Kong Xun, but also the adoptive father of Gao Jichang.
Wang Yin and Kong Xun formed a small group to frame Jiang Xuanhui. They slandered Zhu Wenjin, saying that the reason why Jiang Xuanhui and Liu Can delayed the concession was to prolong Tang Zuo and revive the Tang Dynasty.
The slanderous talk reached Jiang Xuanhui's ears and frightened him out of his wits. He immediately ran to Zhu Wen in person to defend himself, told him and Liu Can's plans, and truthfully reported the detailed process of the abdication.
Zhu Wen was still angry and interrupted his long-winded work report, saying angrily: "Stop giving me all these bells and whistles to prevent me from receiving Zen! If I don't accept the Nine Tins, can I not be the emperor?"
Jiang Xuanhui knelt on the ground and kowtowed, complaining and complaining: "The Tang Dynasty has exhausted its strength. The destiny of the people and their wishes are all turned to you, the king. Women and children are wise and foolish. How can Liu Can and I dare to betray your kindness? But now there is Li Keyong from Hedong." , Youzhou Liu Rengong, Fengxiang Li Maozhen, Xichuan Wang Jian, etc. are all our strong enemies. If they accept the abdication hastily, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied. Therefore, we must be perfect and impeccable in the legal principles. I am creating an eternal legacy for the king! "
Zhu Wen stood up and yelled, "Shut up! You bunch of slaves are trying to rebel!"
Jiang Xuanhui was so frightened that he did not dare to talk back, so he just said yes and retreated.
Jiang Xuanhui worked hard and conscientiously for Zhu Wen in moving to the Tang Dynasty, but he was angrily accused of treason by Zhu Wen, so he was naturally aggrieved. But Zhu Wen's anger is not unreasonable. Because Jiang Xuanhui was too persistent and ignored the role limit, he was Zhu Wen's worker rather than a partner. He only had executive power but no decision-making power. Although his starting point was to sustain Zhu Wen and Guozuo and create an eternal foundation, he deprived him of it. It is reasonable for leaders to be accused of "rebellion" due to their decision-making power.
Leadership does not require you to think, it only requires you to execute orders and fulfill the leader's will.
Jiang Xuanhui returned to Luoyang in horror and asked Liu Can to discuss the matter of advancing the abdication. After receiving a scolding from the leader, I was only concerned about fear, but did not get the essence of the scolding. They are actually still advancing the process of adding Jiuxi.
