Since ancient times, destiny has been unstable, and dynasties have risen and fallen one after another. For example, Si Yu laid down the earth and covered the trees with high mountains and great rivers, and established the country named Xia. He only enjoyed five hundred kingdoms and died in Tang; Zi Tang untied the nets to benevolent, prayed for rain in the mulberry forest, and appointed virtuous ministers to bequeath his descendants. After another six hundred years of existence, the country was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty; Hou Ji fought vigorously in Muye, and the Duke of Zhou assisted in government, and established vassals again, which became the king of the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years, and was overthrown by Qin; then Qin unified Liuhe, and Han inherited the Qin system. This is a story that everyone is familiar with.
It is said that during the 200th anniversary of the founding of the country by Emperor Gaozu, the country once experienced troubled times when Wang Mang usurped power and the artifacts fell by the wayside. But fortunately, the Han Dynasty has a long history in the world, and kindness is bound to people's hearts. Therefore, some ancestors received the auspicious signs from heaven, inherited the great rule in Qianqiu Pavilion, and restored the country to this day. Speaking of which, it has been two hundred years.
Since the death of the late emperor and the coup in the Eastern Capital, the country has experienced repeated troubles. In the past, Dong Zhuo usurped power and Yuan Shu claimed power. Later, the feudal lords separated themselves and several dynasties arose. However, after the general Liu Bei and the Sili captain Chen Chong established two palaces to rule Guanxi, the country gradually improved and occupied the Si, Bing, Liang and Liang dynasties. The six prefectures of , Yan, Yu, and Sha also have jurisdiction over Yunbei and the Changshi Prefecture of the Western Regions. It can be said that it is the most majestic in the world, covering nearly half of the world.
During the sixteen years when the two governments were in power, the military and state affairs were greatly affected by the two governments. Although the emperor had the intention of pro-government, after the failure of the coup in the seventh year of Yanxing, it was completely reduced to a symbol of Chuigong. Although Liu Bei is still in the position of a minister, he has actually made all the preparations to ascend to the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. His relationship with Liu Xie has long been compared to the world's ancestors and the Holy Duke (the first emperor, Liu Xuan, was nicknamed the Holy Duke). I thought that the great general would be the reason for the great success of the country.
And now, Liu Bei finally took the first step towards the throne.
At the end of October, Liu Bei led his troops back to Guanzhong. He did not go directly to Beijing to meet the emperor, but visited the Changling Tomb of Emperor Gaozu, the Baling Tomb of Emperor Wen, and the Yangling Tomb of Emperor Jing. With such a gesture, all the officials in the court immediately understood his intention and immediately wrote to the Chancellor to ask for credit for Liu Bei.
In the early morning of November 18th, a minister came out with the emperor's edict, and the edict read: "The emperor's edict said: The general will be a virtue to all things in the Zhou Dynasty, and his blessings will spread over the heaven and the earth. It is appropriate to add special grants to correct people's hearts. Now, 50,000 households in the city will be granted. Given to me by the land of Jinyang."
"The general is appointed as the assistant to the Yuan Dynasty and is responsible for commanding the civil and military affairs. He cannot be the same as the ministers. From now on, the name of the general cannot be used in edicts and documents. He is ordered to go to the palace with swords and shoes, not to go to the pilgrimage, not to pay tribute by name, in order to show his respect. Special gift."
At this time, Liu Bei returned to Chang'an and lived in the Taiwei's mansion, which had been vacant until now. When the edict arrived, all the three princes and nine ministers accompanied him. In addition to the official offices under his residence, as well as the attendants and maids, there were about 800 people in the team. After the edict was read out, they all congratulated Liu Bei. salute. In the meantime, there are also the Yubao covered chariot and the emperor's banner, which symbolize the emperor's majesty. The scene is extremely spectacular.
However, Liu Bei made a firm statement. After the letter was handed over to the Chancellor, the emperor refused, and then issued an edict: In addition to the above two favors, he must also add nine tins to the general. Liu Bei again expressed his resignation and returned Jiuxi, but the emperor still refused. When Liu Bei was preparing to make three concessions, the new Taifu Liu Biao used the people's support as advice, and Liu Bei just expressed his gratitude.
It took almost seven days to go back and forth, and in a blink of an eye it was November Yiji. Not only the emperor and Liu Bei felt tired, but also the officials who were trying to profit from it felt troubled, and they all looked forward to the end of the trick as soon as possible. But at the same time, they also knew in their hearts that such a major matter involving the throne could not be taken lightly. Moreover, the most important gift of becoming a king has not yet been fulfilled!
Since Chen Chong suggested that the month with Jiuxi should not be crowned king, the matter was arranged in the twelfth lunar month. However, relevant matters are already being prepared. For example, the edict to make the king a king has been written by Xu Qian and handed over to the emperor, waiting for him to seal it.
The full text of the text reads: "Because of my few virtues, I have inherited the order of heaven and inherited the great power of my ancestors. I have encountered many difficulties in my family, and I don't know how to train. In the past, treachery and rebellion often appeared, and the enemy invaded the country. I was afraid of being destroyed all over the world, so I fell. The great legacy of the second ancestor."
"Only a man of public ethics and philosophy, with broad and profound knowledge, promulgated martial arts, served as Fang Bo for generations, to assist the Yi royal family. He has been working hard in the royal family for more than twenty years in the wind and rain, going through conquests and conquests. Biyi's predecessors have cut off the great political affairs and overcome boredom. Misbehavior, safeguard the country."
"When Xianbei invaded, Gong Sui had many reinforcements. He divided his troops and organized them well, and used them to arrest Ning Youyan. After that, the Yellow Turbans were in full swing, and the eastern land was unrest. Gong Qi Hua gave instructions and conquered thousands of miles. This is why the giant deer In battle, take advantage of the provocation to win a great victory, kill the general and slap the flag, and achieve the goal of thousands of people. The white wave is cunning in the summer, and the three auxiliaries of the bandits are sent. Block, you can see from afar, you can make a wonderful plan, you can send people from afar to return your orders, you can guide the Northern Xia Dynasty, you can teach the sharp soldiers, and you can complete the army."
"The brothers of the Yuan family rebelled against the sky and declared troops in Guandong. Cao and Fan Bu were guilty of committing crimes. They joined in the evil. They commanded their candid thieves and hid the national seal to enter the rivers and seas. They dared to distance themselves from the king's orders by blocking the mountains. Gong Gongping In Jiawei, Gong Xing was punishing, Xuanmou was calculating in the temple, and the time was dark. The strange soldiers attacked, but the Yuan family destroyed it; the gods reacted to the situation, and Youzhou was obeyed; they took chaos and attacked Mei, but Longshang failed to defend. In addition to the grand strategy of the Nine Expeditions, the integrity of the five soldiers was studied, and the ability to fight was not exhausted, and Cao's thieves were defeated; the flag was no longer under his command, but the culprit was given the head. The Jun ministers who received the letter from the capital were the fugitives who were on the run. With arms bent and knees bent, he ordered his subordinates to capture hundreds of thousands of people and return them to the country to serve the people. The shame of Xuezong Temple was so great that it was difficult to rescue the common people. He swept the Western Regions and gained confidence in Yunbei, so he started a war and stabilized our territory. The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth were indifferent. Get it."
"It's because of the difficulties of the royal family that they turned into a weak wall, and the spirit of Lai Gong was used to help the difficulties and dangers. The ancestral temple was in danger but found peace, and the country fell and regained peace. Loyalty to the emperor and heaven, meritorious service to the Liuhe. This is to consult the ancient teachings and read all the classics. Ming Gong was appointed to the throne of all the kings, and he was added to the group of queens. He opened the land to visit the ruins and sealed it as a domain. So Fang Gui Qi Lu and Han Ping's imperial family. However, Gong Yuan was humiliated and deeply moved to make concessions. He insisted on his orders until eighty-nine. I have repeatedly violated virtues and suppressed etiquette in order to highlight the public will for several years. The palace on the top is built in the king's ceremony in the past, and the violation on the bottom is a sign that the common people can look forward to it."
"Only the public is a strict and pious king, expounds the economics of Dayou, upholds simplicity, saves money and uses it frugally, works hard and encourages division, and the nine fields are prosperous. The elders value the virtue of nurturing, and the widowed and widowed are treated with compassion, and benevolence flourishes. In the mid-Xia Dynasty, Liuze spread across the wilderness. The barbarians from the east and Rong from the south, the barbarians from the south and the Di from the north, those who were wild, cunning, greedy and fierce, and were bandits in the world, all felt the kindness and benevolence, attached money to the fortress, or commissioned tribute, or asked for help. Set up a lawsuit. Outside the Nine Clothes, the gangsters from the extreme area, who are the most expected ones in the world, come to enjoy the salty sea and encourage the king's virtue. Thousands of people come before and after. The descendants of the sea corner have no thoughts and will not accept it; even though they travel far to the west Gong, Yue Shang Jiu translated, the meaning cannot be exceeded.
"Weiyi, I bow, and I will conquer all the countries, think of Jingzhufang, Ningji Baji. I will use mediocrity as a guest, and the barbarians will be cunning, and the Eastern invaders will survive. I will be latent and arbitrary, and I will organize the army and use martial arts. I will concisely train the generals and teach them to be successful." Ce, start practicing the thieves' territory, and destroy it at the right time. Rush northward wildly and cunningly, collapse from head to tail, rob the military commander, and destroy the city. Hebei is overlapping, the distant swallows and clouds are clear, the earth is flat, the sky is flat, sincerity is here. Gong Youji The honors of Liuhe are added to the lofty virtues, the actual general is a hundred officials, and the government is allowed to govern. The loyalty and filial piety are respected for benevolence, and the six canons are restored to serve as training. However, Jing Gong has been working hard for a long time, and he is modest and ignorant. Although he still respects his father's left and right civil and military affairs, Zhou Gong's industrious royal family , nothing can be added to it."
"In the past, the great ancestor selected Mingde, enlightened the princes, organized the country, and controlled the world. He said: 'The country will last forever and provide benefits to the descendants of the Miao. The king who is not the Liu family will be attacked by the whole world. If there is no merit, he will ignore it and become a prince. , the whole world will punish him together.’ Therefore, Wang Yi Wang Ji will be punished for hundreds of generations.”
"Therefore, the title of Qi and Lu was prosperous in Zhou Dynasty, with mountains, rivers, land and fields, 700 state titles, official policies and policies, and special group queens. When Huixiang was in trouble, Huan Wen used the wings to wear the labor, but he still received the gift of Xi Ming, and Xian used Guangchou A great virtue should set an example for those who come after. However, public merits are greater than those of those who came before, but the rewards are based on the old style, and hundreds of buildings are built on the towns. Humans and gods share the hatred. How can it be that public humility can overwhelm the public and promote the canons for a long time?"
"Now we take the Bingzhou area of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Shangjun, the Sizhou area of Hedong and Pingyang, south to Yuhua, north to Yuxing, east to Hukou, and west to Yuhe. , the number of titles raised covers an area of 700 miles, and they are all the hometown of the Zhao Dynasty. Taizong accepted it and became the head of all sects, keeping track of all the Xia Dynasties and saving the country from danger. Yuanxun came to the land and made the Duke the king on behalf of him. He ordered the envoys to hold the festival and serve as the official secretary. School Weichong immediately awarded the seal and ribbon policy book, the first to fifth gold animal talismans, and the first to tenth bamboo talismans. Xizixuantu, Jumao, to build the country, and to forever welcome the Han Dynasty."
"Go to the Qin Dynasty! Just obey my orders, spread the teachings, and shine on the common people. You will be virtuous forever, and I will show you the rest of my life."
After the emperor read the full text, he had mixed feelings for a moment. He put down the yellow silk book and turned to pick up the imperial seal in his hand. Before putting the ink on the seal, Liu Xie unconsciously touched the characters "Ordered by Heaven, and live forever" at the bottom of the seal, and his eyes became moist at some point.
Concubine Dong Guifei hugged the prince Liu Qi and cried to Liu Xie: "He will be crowned king this year and emperor in a few years. By then, you and I will be hidden outside the palace."
On the contrary, Liu Xie calmed down and comforted him and said: "It's not necessarily true that when the ancestors ascended the throne, didn't they kill Liu Penzi? Besides, they have enjoyed wealth and honor, let's see how it goes one day at a time." After that, he no longer hesitated. After the imperial seal was stained with sealing mud, he pressed it down hard, then stopped looking at it and waved his hand to summon Sun Qian, the young master.
When Sun Qian saluted and took the silk book, he quietly raised his eyes to look at Liu Xie's expression, and found that Liu Xie was waiting for him, so he found nothing. Instead, Liu Xie asked first, which made him feel guilty. The emperor asked, "Tomorrow I would like to invite a doctor to give a regular lecture in the palace. Is it appropriate?"
Sun Qian said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, these are all trivial matters. As long as they are reported to the Sili Mansion, they will be fine." After that, he slowly exited the palace. When he looked back, the titular Emperor of Han was still standing there. He stayed in his original position and stared at the table in front of him for a long time without saying a word. It was obvious that the resentment boiling in his heart was far more turbulent than it appeared on the surface.
But to most people, his thoughts don't matter. The Han Dynasty will not be overthrown by this. Even if Liu Bei bypasses these procedures and directly establishes himself as emperor like Shizu, he will not encounter many obstacles. It is a common thing for such a large ancestral business to fall into the hands of a small sect due to the decline of the main sect.
