Liu He committed suicide!
This saves Huo Guang from having to do it himself.
Huo Guang felt hot in his heart, it was over, it was completely over.
It's incredible how everything went smoothly.
The human heart is truly the greatest power in the world!
Liu Xiang, who was standing next to Huo Guang, looked up at the Queen's Palace in front of him, but he didn't feel the slightest joy and frowned slightly.
It was not a good thing to force his son to death in front of his mother's palace. He was not familiar with the queen, so he was a little worried.
"Your Highness, let's go see the Queen."
Huo Guang was not willing to wait for a moment. He still didn't know what the emperor's current situation was.
Now we must immediately go with the empress to see the emperor and get the real edict. Whether they can come to a perfect end tonight depends on the records in history.
Even if it is not the Queen's palace, but a palace where the Queen uses it to entertain people, it is not accessible to ordinary people.
Huo Guang and a dozen other leading people walked in. After passing through the magnificent corridor, they saw the current owner of the palace, the empress of the Han Dynasty.
Xu Pingjun is dressed in the queen's robe, sitting upright. Although he is no longer old, he is still dignified, graceful and majestic.
"Your Majesty Huo Guang, please see the Queen. May the Queen be safe and blessed.
The minister arrived late and frightened the queen. I am guilty.
The prince committed suicide out of fear of committing a crime, so the palace is in peace and the queen can rest assured. "
Liu She ran into Xu Pingjun's arms. Huo Guang lowered his head and reported the situation in the palace. He wanted to say that the traitor should be punished, but he suddenly thought that the person in front of him was Liu He's biological mother after all, so he finally changed his words.
But even so, he still felt the biting cold light condense on his back.
However, Huo Guang didn't pay too much attention. He knew his cheap sister relatively well. She was a person who understood the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration. Moreover, Empress Xu also approved of sending the prince Liu She out of the palace before.
She had already guessed Liu He's ending, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Zimeng, you have done a good job and have lived up to His Majesty's trust. Since the Crown Prince has committed suicide, it is easy for people to restrain themselves. Now you will go with me to meet His Majesty."
Sure enough, Xu Pingjun didn't say anything to provoke Huo Guang, but directly started arranging the next thing.
In a few words, the dominant person in the scene became Queen Xu. As long as order still exists, this is natural power.
Huo Guang and others bowed again and said in unison: "Here!"
…
The troops brought by Huo Guang and others have generally taken control of the palace. When the group passed through the palace, there were only sporadic sounds of stubborn resistance and fighting.
A group of people walked into the emperor's palace. The emperor was still in a coma and sleeping with no sign of waking up.
The emperor didn't wake up or speak. A group of people surrounded Liu Xun, wondering what to do now.
Looking at everyone's anxious expressions, Xu Pingjun knew that he should comfort these people now, so he immediately said: "Secure the palace first, then inform Chang'an that the unrest has subsided, and then wait for His Majesty to wake up.
If His Majesty cannot wake up, it will be up to me to draft a testament based on His Majesty's previous oral instructions.
Huo Shizhong is your majesty's appointed assistant to the government, and the imperial censor is also on your majesty's previous edict list. You don't need to be anxious. "
As soon as Xu Pingjun said these words, everyone felt at ease. Regardless of whether there was an oral instruction or not, the queen said it was.
They were revolting in the name of His Majesty this time. If they could not get the royal endorsement, it would really look bad in the future. Now that the Queen gave them reassurance, everyone gathered around the Emperor without anxiety.
The night was getting a little late, and no one went anywhere else. They all just found a pillar in the palace and used it as a bed to rest.
Everyone prayed in their hearts, praying that the emperor would wake up.
"Your Majesty is awake!"
"Your Majesty is awake!"
Waiting until the middle of the night, the sound of the palace lady on night duty woke everyone up, and almost instantly, a group of people gathered around.
As soon as Liu Xun opened his eyes, he saw a large number of courtiers appearing in front of him. With his extremely sensitive sense of smell, he could even smell the blood of these people.
Thinking back to the scene before he fainted last time, he immediately realized that Huo Guang had won the final victory and had lived up to his trust.
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up. Now the political situation is in chaos and you are seriously ill. What will happen to this big man in the future?"
Huo Guang knelt beside the bed, his face full of tears. Liu Xun stared at Huo Guang closely and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't you know the meaning of the painting I gave you before?"
Liu Xun didn't know when he would pass out again, or whether he would wake up again after passing out, so he had to race against time to arrange the funeral arrangements. Before Huo Guang could speak, Liu She stepped forward and said directly: "Edict: Prince Crown Prince She Jin, I have no hesitation, the emperor is responsible for his actions and must obey the teachings of the Queen Mother and Huo Guang."
The edict was extremely concise, but just these few words made Liu Xun breathless. It was right not to make a long speech, because his body simply couldn't bear it.
"Huo Guang of the Jin Dynasty will be the Great Sima General, the Imperial Censor of the Jin Dynasty will be the Prime Minister, and Sinong will be the Imperial Censor of the Jin Dynasty. The uncle of the Jin Dynasty will be the Chariot and Cavalry General, with Huo Guang as the leader, and we will jointly assist the emperor. Don't let me down."
A clan member, a relative, a military general, and a civil servant, this is the auxiliary team left by Liu Xun for Liu She.
After saying so many words in one breath, Liu Xun was out of breath for a while. After a slight pause, he said: "It's probably not easy for you to deal with Liu He's matter. It is only fair to give him the posthumous title of 'thorn'."
If you are ruthless and have no relatives, you are called stab; if you are violent and have no relatives, you are called stab.
This evaluation can be said to be very appropriate for Liu He.
Liu Xun looked at Liu She beside him again, his eyes were very deep, "She'er, in the future you will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. You must study hard. I put all my expectations on you."
Giving up an adult and capable prince to choose a six-year-old child was the most outrageous thing Liu Xun had ever done.
The officials thanked Liu Xun, made the edict, sealed it, and then left the palace.
Liu Xun leaned next to the queen and said feebly: "Queen, you won't resent me treating He'er like this, right?"
Xu Pingjun cried and said: "Of course not. We are a couple in need. He made a big mistake. I'm sorry for you. You will have to bear this ending no matter what."
Liu Xun felt relieved. Xu Pingjun would never lie to him. Only when one is about to die in this life will he know what he values most.
"I have never let you down in my life. When I got married, I said that one day I would make you famous and become a noble woman. Now I have kept my promise."
Liu Xun's gentle words made Xu Pingjun forget her sorrow tonight. It wasn't until Liu Xun's voice gradually lowered, and even the strength to respond to her completely disappeared, that she really started to cry, and tears fell in large numbers. , it was countless times more painful than when my son died.
After an unknown amount of time, she walked numbly to the outer hall.
"Your Majesty Bintian!"
The ministers were shocked, but after all, they had been prepared in their hearts. Huo Guang stepped forward and bowed: "Please, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please issue an order to mourn the Emperor Daxing."
Xu Pingjun said like a machine: "I have spoken orally: I will use Grand Sima General Huo Guang as my envoy to discuss the posthumous affairs of Emperor Daxing and the enthronement of Crown Prince She, and report to me."
The ministers were ordered to withdraw. Now there is no chance of any more accidents. However, what happened tonight must be announced to the world as soon as possible.
The next day.
The news of the emperor's death spread throughout Chang'an, and countless envoys went to deliver the news to all the counties in the world. Princes, princes, princes, governors, governors, etc. all sent letters or came directly to Chang'an to express their condolences.
China cannot live without a king for a day. The ministers first paid homage to the new king, and then Liu She was taken by the empress dowager to visit the ancestral temple of Emperor Gao. With this step, he was recognized by his ancestors as the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty. More details later. Just go to the enthronement ceremony.
Next is the posthumous affairs of Emperor Daxing. The most important ones are of course the posthumous title and temple name. The emperor's posthumous title and temple title must be conveyed to King Bingsu as soon as possible and cannot be ignored.
There are many high-ranking posthumous titles in civil and military circles, but only "Xuan" is distinguished by people. When Ji Zhao formulated the posthumous title law, Xuan was not the most prominent. But after Luo Xuangong, Xuan had a new title. The explanation of "Zhongxing Shengye".
Huo Guang still remembered the tacit understanding he had with Emperor Daxing during his lifetime, and Liu Xun wanted to "proclaim" the posthumous title.
“When Emperor Daxing first ascended the throne, the world was in such a state of exhaustion.
The violent emperor Liu Dan almost destroyed the Han Dynasty and the country, and there was not even a grain of food in the treasury.
So Emperor Daxing worked bravely for twenty years. Now, the world is stable and the people are prosperous.
I think that Emperor Daxing’s achievement in this life lies in reviving Han Zuo!
I am afraid that only Xuan can show the kindness of Emperor Daxing. "
Huo Guang's voice resounded through the hall, and the officials in the hall thought the same thing. There were cheers one after another. Xu Pingjun looked at this scene and was very pleased. He said loudly: "The general said it well, the emperor's achievements are great." , lies in the word "Zhongxing", I think the temple name can be directly determined, "Zhongxing Holy Industry", is there anyone more suitable than Zhongzong?"
Zhongzong!
To a certain extent, if used on the Lord of Shou Cheng, this temple name is better than Sejong, because Zhongzong means Zhongxing, turning the dynasty from decline to prosperity!
"Xuan" and "Zhongzong" are really a perfect match, the top posthumous title and temple title, the top standard for the Lord of Zhongxing.
"good!"
Emperor Zhongzong of the Han Dynasty Xiaoxuan!
————
Xiaoxuan Yingmingzong, who started in decline, knew the sufferings of the people. Since then, he has saved the country from exhaustion and led the people to rest. The ruthless emperor has caused the disaster of Qin's fall. The barbarians were called vassals, laws were enforced, traitors were bravely eliminated, the country was purified, and all opportunities were controlled. Civilization was greatly shaken, and the world was prosperous. It was almost the age of Xiaowen.
The luck of the Han Dynasty was bright, and the sage king was conferred by heaven. The ancestors had great achievements, and the heirs were prosperous. The Yin Zong and Zhou Xuan could not compare with each other. It could be called Zhongxing, so he built an ancestral temple and named it Zhongzong!
Only I, Emperor Zhongzongxuan of the Han Dynasty, can rule the world with virtue and achieve peace for all generations. ——"Book of Han·Xiaoxuan Chronicles"
Han Xuan.
