Liu Ying, with a calm face, looked at the ministers in the palace indifferently.
The ministers above the court were also looking at Liu Ying. No one spoke, but everyone's eyes looked inquiring.
How is the emperor's body doing?
Luo Xin frowned, then walked to the center of the hall and bowed.
Everyone's eyes fell on him, even Luo Yi was no exception. At this special moment, he didn't know what his brother was going to do.
Many people looked at Liu Ying and saw that his face was still calm. They thought to themselves: It was indeed agreed upon by the emperor and the prime minister.
Liu Ying smiled and asked: "Father, do you have anything to teach me? Please tell me. Is there anything I can't agree to?"
Luo Xin said seriously: "Your Majesty, the stability of Mount Tai is due to its deep foundation, and the stability of the country is the same.
Since ancient times, I have never heard of someone whose reserve position is unknown and can make the country prosperous.
In the past, the five young masters of the Jin Dynasty fought for the throne and ended up killing each other with blood. But the blood relatives of the closest relatives were facing each other with swords and swords. Isn't this the most deplorable thing?
Qin Shihuang did not establish a prince, but the treacherous ministers Li Si and Zhao Gao seized the opportunity to make Hu Hai, a tyrant and an independent man, succeed to the throne. In the end, the Qin Dynasty was ruined. Is there any king who would not take this as a warning?
The queen is in the Kun Palace and has given birth to the emperor's eldest son Heng. She should be established as the crown prince to stabilize the country and the country, so that the people in the four directions and the princes at home and abroad know that the Han Dynasty has an heir.
You are a wise king, so I am here to advise you. "
It is normal for ministers to advise the emperor to establish a crown prince, but it is almost impossible to directly say who should be crown prince like Luo Xin did. Interfering with the throne is a way to die.
But none of the ministers cared. It was just a double act. Who would care?
What they are more concerned about is——
Make a prince!
This is what happened!
The emperor didn't reveal anything about such a big thing, and even gave all the credit to the prime minister.
I know that your relationship is like that of father and son, and that you only trust the Prime Minister, so let him speak.
But the Prime Minister doesn't need this credit. Isn't this a waste?
We all need this credit to make our family prosperous. If you give it to us, we are the princelings. Can we not work hard for the prince?
This is the common thought of everyone in the palace.
Luo Xin's status does not require this support at all. He has served as the powerful prime minister for twenty years. He is truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Everyone in the palace had another secret thought, that is, there was indeed something wrong with the emperor's health. They were so impatient to appoint the crown prince because they were worried about something unexpected happening.
Liuhou Zhang Busuo was worried and secretly happy at the same time, and his thoughts were very complicated.
Hearing this, Liu Ying smiled and said: "My father-in-law is right. The prince is a major matter related to the country. If the prince is stable, the country will be stable. It has been several years since the queen gave birth to her eldest son, but I did not establish a prince. This is my fault."
We should follow the advice of our prime minister and make Heng'er the crown prince.
Where is Liuhou? "
Zhang Buyi hurriedly walked out and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Zhang is a relative of the Tian family, and Heng'er will stay with you to take care of her in the future."
Zhang Buyi said quickly: "Your Majesty, I understand that the Zhang family is deeply favored by the emperor. If she does not die for the royal family, will there still be a place for the Zhang family in this world?"
Liu Ying turned to the ministers and asked: "If you disagree, you can raise it. This is a major matter related to the country. You can speak freely."
Speak freely!
This word made everyone continue to criticize, saying that it can be said, but after saying it, it is impossible to say what the ending will be.
Although Luo never uses his words to offend people, this is at the academic level and the common people level. At the upper-level bureaucratic and aristocratic level, although he also does not use his words to offend people, arguments that are contrary to the mainstream will be directly distributed to ensure that one voice is to improve governance. The key to efficiency.
No one wanted to take a tour of Lingnan, so all the officials bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the eldest son of the emperor is handsome and wise. He should be made the crown prince. I congratulate your majesty, and I congratulate the great man."
There were praises everywhere in the hall, but Luo Xin still had no expression on his face. He only hoped that Liu Ying's health would be good and nothing would really happen.
Liu Ying acted as if nothing was wrong and smiled again: "In that case, let's choose an auspicious day to hold the canonization ceremony for Prince Heng."
I really can’t wait.
The ministers were thinking this, and then they watched Liu Ying fall on the throne, and there was a burst of noise in the hall.
Luo Xin had already rushed forward, supported Liu Ying, pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to move, anyone who moves without permission will be killed!"
As the only minister with a sharp sword in the hall, coupled with many years of power, everyone stopped in place instantly. Luo Xin said loudly: "Your Majesty is not feeling well. Your ministers have been sent back by the palace guards. Your Majesty has been crowned emperor." Prince, the Han Dynasty is stable, all ministers and ministers should be stable and don’t panic. Okay, let’s leave the palace first.”
At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly woke up and turned around. He heard what Luo Xin just said, and whispered slightly: "Father, I'm fine."
When Luo Xin saw Liu Ying waking up, he was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you are okay."
Luo Xin's words made the stagnant atmosphere in the hall return to normal instantly. Everyone shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty!"
This is the role of the emperor that cannot be ignored. Luo was the executive deputy emperor in the Zhou Dynasty, and he was also the executive deputy emperor in the Han Dynasty with Luo Xin's current status.
But the deputy is the deputy. Luo can act as regent and act as king, but everyone knows in their hearts who is the real emperor and emperor.
Luo Shi likes this state very much. Becoming a real king is what Luo Shi has always tried hard to avoid. Weakening the monarch's power but not completely emptying it, but maintaining the real power of the emperor, this is what Luo Shi pursues.
Because Ji Zhao was worried that the false king would be judged to be a king, just like in later Britain, where the queen is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of the government.
In theory, the queen should be the king in the system, but in fact she may be judged to be the prime minister. After all, the prime minister and the regent are completely different.
The regent still has the supremacy of imperial power, but only acts temporarily, while the prime minister has become the top leader completely institutionally.
Liu Yingqiang sat up. At this moment, his face turned pale. He shook his dizzy head and whispered: "Father, please let the ministers stay here. Without further delay, take Heng'er with you immediately." Here, I will be crowned the crown prince, and we will finish the etiquette later."
Liu Ying originally wanted to hold a canonization ceremony for Liu Heng.
But this coma without warning was so terrifying that Liu Ying was worried that she would not be able to wake up next time.
Now we must do everything quickly and neatly, especially the most critical thing.
Luo Xinyan nodded sadly, still supporting Liu Ying, turned around and said loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the emperor's eldest son Heng and the queen Zhang Yan be summoned immediately to canonize the prince without delay."
The ministers understood this order very well. No one thought that the emperor's condition would be so serious that he could not control it at all. This was a great meeting.
The wait is long.
The palace is so big that it takes a long time to get here from the queen's palace, but no one is impatient. For such an important occasion, everyone just hangs their heads and waits.
The eunuch came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen and His Highness are almost at the stairs."
After hearing this, Liu Ying slowly turned her head to look at Luo Xin and laughed softly: "Xiangfu, Heng'er is still young. The steps in Changle Palace are too high and the journey is too long. His body is still weak and he needs someone to help him." Well, you once saved my life in the midst of thousands of troops, now I ask you to carry Heng'er over to you, carry him into this hall, I really bother you."
boom!
Liu Ying's words were like dropping a boulder on a calm lake, instantly causing endless waves. The ministers below did not hear it, but the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids heard it.
Even these people are very clear about the importance of this matter. After all, the deeds of King Su carrying King Kang on his back, then regenting the world, and finally creating a thousand-year state and Zhou Dynasty are really too famous. After the spread of King Su's belief, At that time, the deeds of these kings were mentioned countless times, and everyone in the world knew about them.
The picture of King Su defeating King Kang is a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation. I don’t know how many people have copied it, especially in the palaces of various vassal states, which basically have this mural.
And now, His Majesty the Emperor actually asked the Prime Minister to carry the prince, the future prince, to the main hall. What does this mean?
Not to mention these people, even Luo Xin was shocked. He never expected that Liu Ying would trust him to such an extent.
Regent!
That was really putting the Liu family in his own hands. Thinking of this, Luo Xin asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty?"
Liu Ying's tone was calm but firm, and she smiled and said: "Xiangfu, please go quickly, Heng'er can't wait any longer."
Luo Xin took a deep look at Liu Ying, helped him sit firmly on the throne, then turned and walked out of the palace.
He walked through the seats of the ministers and strode forward, which made everyone a little confused.
So someone asked loudly: "Prime Minister, where are you going?"
The eunuch at the top received Liu Ying's instructions and said loudly: "The Prime Minister has received your Majesty's order. He will come back as soon as he leaves."
Luo Xin ignored all these disturbances. He walked straight out of the palace door, took a deep breath, and looked up at the blue sky, just like his current mood.
He stepped forward and reached the steps, and then he saw the queen, the emperor's eldest son and his party coming in a hurry from the palace gate.
Luo Xin walked down the steps and the queen's chariot stopped. Zhang Yan did not expect to see Luo Xin here, so she quickly saluted and asked: "Prime Minister, why are you here?"
Luo Xin returned the greeting, then turned his gaze to Liu Heng and said solemnly: "Queen, Your Majesty asked me to carry the emperor's eldest son Heng to the main hall."
