The death of Zhao Tuo, the king of Lingnan, was not a big deal to the Han court. After all, Lingnan was not only a vassal state, but also far away from the imperial court. However, Zhao Tuo's death made many people turn their attention to Zhao Tuo again. city.
Especially when Zhao Tuo's coffin was transported to Zhaocheng, this was something that countless people dreamed of but couldn't do.
And Zhao Gong, who seemed to have no sense of existence, reminded everyone again, and then sighed in their hearts: Zhao Gong, you are really able to survive.
When the Luo Kingdom was destroyed in the past, Luoling was not far away from being crowned. Then he stayed in Zhaocheng for more than ten years and came out to destroy Qin. Until now, he is more than a hundred years old. He is the only person in the world who has seen Qin Zheng, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang are three people.
Along the way from the era of nations, it is like a living fossil. Coupled with various legends, people can't help but feel awe.
Liu Che was a little unhappy in Changle Palace. He was an emperor who liked Qian Gang to be arbitrary, so Luo Ling's power naturally made him a little uncomfortable, but he was not the kind of mindless loner. He knew very well that he should not be like this with Luo Ling. The human god was in trouble, and Liu Che was now very much looking forward to one thing happening, that is, would Luo Ling, the living god, die?
"Your Majesty, regarding the posthumous title of King Lingnan, this was decided upon by the courtiers."
The attendant handed over a memorial, and Liu Che unfolded it and took a look. One was "to open up a land and conquer the country is called Huan, to be strong and powerful is called Huan", and the other is "to be strong in defeating the enemy is called Zhuang, and to conquer and conquer many times is called Zhuang", both of which are It is a posthumous title that focuses on martial arts and praises Zhao Tuo for his pioneering work in the Xia Dynasty in Lingnan.
Zhao Tuo had always been more respectful to the emperor of the Central Plains, and there was never a shortage of various tributes, etc., so Liu Che had no objection to him, so he directly drew a circle on the memorial and said: "I will use Huan as my posthumous title. King Huan of Lingnan worked hard and made great achievements, so he gave two nine-tin objects as burials to show the grace of the court and to inform the princes in the four directions to devote themselves to the king's affairs."
The posthumous titles of the founding lords are all double-character posthumous titles starting with civil and military. This is the only posthumous title with regulations. The other princes and kings currently have single and double characters. The ministers who are not the founding lords are basically double-character. For posthumous names, you basically choose beautiful words, but there are no regulations.
The attendant took the memorial and asked again: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister inquired and said that now is the day when the annual posthumous titles are announced to heaven. There are slightly more princes and ministers who have died this year. The Prime Minister suggested that the memorial ceremony should be started in advance to avoid delaying the ceremony. .
The Prime Minister said that this year there is King Lingnan, a foreign monarch, so we cannot offer sacrifices to heaven in the palace. We have to go to the sacrifice platform in King Su's Mausoleum. After you determine the time, the Prime Minister's Mansion needs to contact Zhaocheng in time. They will send people Come and take you into King Su’s Cemetery. "
According to the posthumous law of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's posthumous names and temple names were announced to heaven immediately after they were decided, but the posthumous names of princes, princes, and ministers were collected and announced once a year.
According to Luo Shi, those who pass the posthumous title will be presented to the Suwang, and those who fail will be dismissed.
However, no one has seen the posthumous title returned. On the one hand, the current emperor and ministers have relatively high political ethics in this regard. On the other hand, there is awe in their hearts. No one knows that the posthumous title has been returned. Whether something will happen to the person, so the posthumous title can basically be justified.
Zhao Tuo was a vassal king from a foreign vassal and was not in the Han court system, so he had to go to King Su's Cemetery to pay homage to heaven in the name of the Emperor.
In order to postulate the title of King Wen of Luoxin, Liu Heng elevated Ji Zhao's human status to that of the Emperor. So the sky became Heaven, the earth became the Emperor, and King Su's Cemetery became the place where the Emperor was crowned.
King Su's cemetery is very large and can be entered from the outside. However, this is the ancestral tomb of the Luo family after all. Not only King Su is buried there, but Duke Luo Wen, Ji Lingjun, and most importantly, King Luo Wen are also buried there.
Even the emperor cannot enter Luo's ancestral tomb at will!
Moreover, it is necessary to prevent people from straying into the real tomb of King Su, where Luo's leadership is needed, otherwise there will be a fatal disaster.
Luo Shi himself said that King Su had set up a formation outside the cemetery based on the Book of Changes. The way in would change every moment, and only through calculation could one enter.
This can be regarded as an explanation for the reason why the First Emperor wanted to seek immortality but was unable to enter King Su's cemetery. At the same time, it also made the dignitaries in Chang'an City fear King Su even more.
Liu Che was eager to see if he would be punished if he was given a very inappropriate posthumous title, but in the end his reason allowed him to restrain himself.
He is an emperor who believes very much in the things of gods, witches and ghosts. If you ask him to fight the Xiongnu with real swords and guns, he dares to do so, but if you ask him to challenge the magic represented by the Luo family, he is really unwilling.
"Notify the Prime Minister to sacrifice King Su half a month in advance. Not long ago, Dong Sheng presented a wonderful idea, which has never been done before. I want to tell the world."
With the issuance of Liu Che's order, the entire Chang'an court began to be busy, and various princes and kingdoms began to prepare to go to Beijing again. Han law stipulates that princes and princes must come to Beijing every year to worship. If the princes and kings dare to pretend to be ill and not come , once discovered, it will be a capital crime and the punishment will be severe. However, when Liu Heng was in charge of the world before, he was more tolerant to people. If the prince was really sick, it was okay not to come.
Liu Che implemented this Han law the most strictly. As a result, in the second year of his rule, a prince became seriously ill and still insisted on worshiping, and finally died on the road. The Chang'an court was severely embarrassed and was criticized by everyone in the world. for a long time.
But Liu Che's character has never cared about these ups and downs. He believes that it is impossible for princes and kings to get sick as soon as they go to worship. The probability of getting sick is very small, but not coming to worship will increase the centrifugal force with the court, and even cause ambitions in home decoration. If the illness has evil intentions, that would be the most detrimental to the world.
So we still insisted on letting the princes worship on time, but it was a little more relaxed.
…
Zhaocheng's team set out from Shandong again. Along the way, many princes and even princes and kings accompanied Zhaocheng's team.
It is safer to go with Luo. Although the Han Dynasty is relatively stable now, there are still bandits, and you have to guard against being intercepted and killed by your enemies. This kind of thing is not uncommon. With the current technical means, there is basically no proof.
Maybe some people think that the dignified princes, kings and princes don't even have guards?
But the question is, how much can the private army bring?
There are two hundred families of princes going to Chang'an to meet the emperor. Each family brings five hundred people, that is one hundred thousand people. One hundred thousand private troops who are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court are still the best among the best. Can the emperor sit still?
Therefore, most of them only brought less than a hundred people, and most of them only had dozens of people, and they only dared to bring less than ten pairs of armors, and they had to rely on the protection of the counties along the way.
But Luo Shi is different. People are not cowardly. No matter what the emperor thinks, safety is the first priority. There are many people who love Luo Shi in this world, but there are also many who hate Luo Shi. If you don’t protect her more closely, it’s really a shame. Don't know how he died.
Therefore, Luo always travels with three to five hundred brave warriors, one man and three horses, all equipped with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and even armor on the carriage, ready to kill if there is any change.
The Zhu families were naturally willing to go with the Luo family, and going together could help them connect emotionally. Usually, these people stayed in their own fiefdoms and were generally not allowed to leave the county.
In particular, the princes and princes were very happy to contact Chehou and even get married.
Due to the fluid feudal system, although the vassal kings are more noble than the princes in terms of titles and have more power, including military and financial resources, this dignity depends entirely on their blood relationship with the emperor.
Once the blood relationship begins to become estranged, the decline will be faster. Even if you are transformed into a noble family, unless you leave the genealogy, as long as you are still a clan member, the royal family will always be wary.
On the contrary, because Chehou guarded important areas and was the sharpest sword of the royal family, he enjoyed the country longer.
At least so far, most of the princely states among the founding heroes are still there, and they have not been deprived of their titles and wiped out the country in just two generations like in history.
The person sent by Zhaocheng was one of Luo Ling's sons, and he also brought Luo Wuji, who was still a little baby with incomplete memories.
But Luo Ling knew from the time Luo Wuji was born that this was an unusual child, because his family background was trembling, and he also felt that the sleeping King Su woke up to pay attention to this child.
This situation can only remind Luo Ling of the son of destiny that King Su once told him. He knew that it would be good for King Su and the family to have the son of destiny as the head of the family.
From then on, Luo Ling determined that Luo Wuji would take over the position of head of the family in the future, and Zhaogong's title would be transferred from his line to Luo Zhongkan's line.
This may be hard to imagine for other families, but for the Luo family, it is nothing. There is a spiritual connection between the direct lineages, and they are truly as close as one family.
More than fifty families from the Luo family, including the princes and princes, acted together, and the momentum was extremely huge. With three hundred brave warriors as the core and thousands of elites, the momentum was still huge. The officials along the way were shocked, but looking at No one said anything about the waving flags.
Not to mention that this is normal behavior. Even if it is abnormal, except for those extremely strong officials, no one else will say anything. Offending a prince is a strong command, but offending a group of people will probably disappear before the emperor comes to the trouble.
Walking along the straight road built by the imperial court is one of the political legacies left by the Qin Dynasty. It is of great significance to the communication between the world. After crossing the Yiluo River, leaving the prosperous Luoyang, and then walking through the past years The old Hangu Pass has been gradually abandoned. After entering the land of Qinchuan, the Weihe Plain appears in front of everyone. Moving forward, the majestic capital city appears in front of everyone.
Chang'an.
One of the brightest pearls in the Han Dynasty's crown.
It says that King Su has not been reported, which is outrageous. The title of the update is to increase the leader's cards, above.
