When the sun sets and rises again, the dazzling light shines on the majestic Chang'an City again, and the atmosphere of the whole city changes!
Because today is the beginning of the new year, this is not an ordinary new year. In this era when everything revolves around Chang'an, in this year, Emperor Liu Heng has reached the age of being crowned!
As the New Year approaches, this matter has begun to spread, especially among the people. Many people swear that the Prime Minister will definitely not be able to return power, and no one is willing to return power.
Most of these people have not read history. Although they know the deeds of King Su, King Su is a god, just like a legend.
Changle Palace.
Liu Heng put on a brand-new emperor's robe and a new emperor's crown. His twelve hairpins couldn't help swinging. He looked at Luo Xin with joy, smiled and said loudly: "Uncle, what do you think of my outfit?"
Luo Xin couldn't help but smile and nodded: "You are very heroic and majestic. I can already imagine how wise and powerful you will be after you take charge of the government."
Luo Xin has decided to announce to the world that he will return to power at today's court meeting.
Liu Heng was overjoyed and said with some reluctance: "Uncle, can you continue to stay and assist me?"
Luo Xin shook his head, then seemed to have thought of something and laughed directly.
Liu Heng asked doubtfully: "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"
Luo Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what King Kang said when King Su returned power to King Kang?"
Liu Heng naturally shook his head and said: "Who can know what happened more than a thousand years ago? Of course I don't know."
Luo Xin said: "It is recorded in the history books that King Su returned to power King Kang. King Kang said: 'Uncle, can you continue to stay and assist me?' There is really no difference between yesterday and today, and the great power of Zhou Dynasty is Feng. The old land of Hao is also in Guanzhong, is this a coincidence of fate?"
The historian next to the two men shook their hands and felt even more excited, with a feeling of pride in their hearts.
The predecessors a thousand years ago recorded the deeds of King Su. Today I record the deeds of the regent. Which historian will record the deeds of the next regent in the future?
Will it still be Lowe?
This is the only family in the world that has been a prominent family for thousands of years. It's really terrifying.
Liu Heng did not expect that such a thing would happen, and asked quickly: "Then how did King Su answer King Kang of Zhou?"
Luo Xin recalled with a trace: "King Su said that all the ministers in the world can stay in Fenghao Land, but he is the only one who wants to leave.
I didn't understand this truth before, because in the family, the second Duke Wenxuan also used to be the regent of the country, but he never left Haojing and Luoyang.
Until now, Chen finally understood that it was different. "
Liu Heng seemed to understand something. Even though he was so talented, he still couldn't understand many things in front of him, like the Luo family, a thousand-year-old family that had been regents of the country for four years.
"The ministers should have arrived outside the palace gate, and they can be announced to enter the palace."
Outside the palace gate.
Whether they were nobles in red or purple, or lower-level court officials, they were all waiting in front of the palace gate, chatting. This was the first court meeting after the New Year, and everyone had to attend.
Some people with a keen sense of smell have already sensed the different rumors through the transfer of some official positions, and they pay even more attention to the first big meeting of the new year.
Because of the existence of the Luo family, the emperor's sanctity was not as strong as in real history, and the disparity in power between the monarch and his ministers became less great. During the years when Luo Xin was in power, he greatly strengthened the power of the Chang'an court, but did not overly strengthen the monarch. The power of the courtiers is still very effective.
Luochen's original intention in designing the system was to form an error correction mechanism in the central court on the basis of high efficiency. For example, after the emperor made a strategic misjudgment, the courtiers would have rules and regulations to stop it.
This system is currently operating relatively effectively. The emperor's authority is still great, but the prime minister and the three ministers and nine ministers can change the emperor's will to a certain extent.
"Boom!"
A heavy voice rang in the ears of the ministers, and the door to the palace opened. There was a world of difference between the inside and outside of the door. On one side was the supreme core of power, and on the other was the noisy human world.
The ministers walked into the palace one after another and headed towards Changle Palace. When they got outside the palace, they took off their shoes, took off their swords, etc., and then filed in.
When the ministers sat down, they saw the regent, Luo Xin, wearing a sharp sword on his waist. Shi Shiran accompanied the emperor out. Both of them had smiles on their faces and seemed to be in a good mood.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers stood up and stood in awe. Liu Heng went to sit on the throne, and Luo Xin stood with his sword in his hand. The ministers all worshiped in unison: "Long live Qianqiu, may your Majesty be blessed."
"I am well, everyone is well."
Liu Heng returned the salute to the ministers with a smile and said: "Everyone, please take your seats."
The ministers were confused and heard Luo Xin's loud voice: "My lords.
When Emperor Renzong Xiaohui passed away in the past, he entrusted the State of the Han Dynasty and His Majesty to me, and asked me to carry His Majesty and the State on my back just like my ancestor King Su carried King Kang. It has been more than ten years now.
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of heaven and the gift of King Su, the world is stable. This is my blessing, and I have lived up to the trust of Emperor Xiaohui. "
Luo Xin started talking like he was talking about everyday things, and then suddenly said: "At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed.
Your Majesty will be crowned this year. He is talented and wise, and has the appearance of an ancient sage king. I uphold Emperor Xiaohui’s edict and regent the world. I wish to congratulate the great Han Dynasty. I should follow the example of my ancestor King Su who returned power to King Kang in the past and return power to the emperor. His Majesty. "
"boom!"
There seemed to be a thunderous sound in the hall, followed by countless gasps of air.
Everyone never expected that the Great Court Meeting would start with such explosive news without even the slightest foreshadowing.
Return the government!
Such a sensitive issue was actually raised by the Prime Minister Regent himself. That was the supreme power in the world, and he actually let it go.
When Luoxin first became regent, there were still many doubts among the people in the world. Although Luo's political reputation was high, it was mainly concentrated in the Bang and Zhou Dynasties.
Although in the later period, bloodshed had already flowed among the same clansmen with the surname Ji, they were still a family after all, especially those like the Luo family who paid more attention to tradition.
But in the first five years of Luo Xin's regency, there were basically fewer people who had doubts in their hearts, because Luo Xin did not have the slightest evil intention and did not place his own people in key positions.
At this stage, most people believe that although Luo Xin will not usurp the throne, there is a high probability that he will control the state until the day he dies.
But as the time for the emperor's coronation draws closer, some of Luo Xin's actions have made many people realize that Luo Xin may directly return to power.
Until now, Luo Xin personally announced to the world at the great court meeting that he wanted to return power to the emperor!
This issue that has been lingering in the minds of countless people has finally been settled, and no one will be able to make a fuss about it in the future.
Everyone in the hall looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes, looking at the prime minister who was still in high spirits even though he was old.
After returning to power, where will you go?
Luo Xin ignored all the looks and continued: "Returning a great government is not a trivial matter. After the court is over, we will start preparing the ceremony. After His Majesty is crowned, he will return the government immediately without any delay. Do you understand?"
"I will obey the Prime Minister's orders!"
Returning power is of course not something that can be done simply by saying it at a court meeting. It requires a complete set of procedures and etiquette. Of course, it is to demonstrate the majesty of the imperial power, or to ensure a sacred feeling in front of the people of the world.
After the court ended, what Luo Xin said in the main hall was like a gust of wind, instantly spreading to every corner of the entire Han Dynasty.
Then there were countless earthquakes, and the world's situation seemed to change in an instant. This was not an exaggeration, but everyone really knew that Luo's era was coming to an end.
Moreover, it was Luo who personally ended his reign in the Han Dynasty.
After the family reached the pinnacle of power, starting from the Yinghou, the entire Luo family began to leave the core of power.
Luo Xin ignored these disturbances. During the days when he had not returned to power, he still handled government affairs step by step. Luo Chen also still followed his brother, and the Shouguang Houfu was also preparing to return to the fiefdom of Shandong.
After Luo Xin returns to power, Luo Chen will immediately resign and leave the core of the Han Dynasty's power.
In this atmosphere, Liu Heng ushered in his crowning ceremony amidst the expectations of countless people. Because he no longer had a father, his crowning was hosted by Luo Xin, who took care of him on his behalf.
This was also what Liu Heng actively requested.

"Morality is something precious and easily broken. Its establishment requires the perseverance of the entire society, but its destruction only requires one thought."
The author infinitely agrees with this sentence. The same is true for political bottom lines and principles. The entire process of the Zhou Dynasty from rule to chaos is a history of political bottom lines and principles being constantly broken. When studying history, the author noticed that during the war period, Only the alliance chaired in the name of Luo has a relatively long-lasting effect.
In that era when etiquette collapsed and trust between nations no longer existed, "Law's trustworthiness" was a deeply buried unspoken rule, and Locke always adhered to the final bottom line.
Dong'ahou Luoxin's return to power was an event of great historical significance during the Han Dynasty. It affected the political logic of the entire early Han Dynasty for a long time, and improved the political bottom line and political mutual trust of the entire early and middle Han Dynasty. The entire Zhuxia world seemed to have changed from He recovered from countless regicides during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
