The succession to the throne in front of the coffin went without any glitches, and even went too smoothly. However, Liu Chengyou didn't have any strange feeling like he was in a dream and his legs were weak. On the contrary, he was very calm and took it for granted.
Liu Zhiyuan may not be an excellent emperor, but he is definitely a loving father. Compared with the "orphan" treatment in the original history, in this life, Liu Zhiyuan helped Liu Chengyou pave the road smooth enough, and he was well prepared. , have enough confidence and confidence to hold the world in hand. Otherwise, if nothing else, I would be sorry for the praise given to him in Liu Zhiyuan's legacy.
There was no pretense. Under the worship of the civil and military ministers, Liu Chengyou, who had "come back to his senses", accepted it calmly. Etiquette, that is a matter for later. The mourning hall was inconvenient and disturbed. In the east verandah of the Long Live Hall, Liu Chengyou once again accepted the worship of the ministers, emphasized the relationship between monarch and ministers, and said some clichés of mutual encouragement.
Afterwards, the imperial city was unblocked and all ministers returned to their duties. It had been almost two months, and the courtiers had become accustomed to the situation without the emperor in charge of government affairs. However, this time, some chaos still inevitably occurred.
After all, once the emperor and his ministers came to the throne, the succession of the new emperor always had the greatest impact on their old ministers, so it was hard not to feel uneasy. As far as government affairs are concerned, although Liu Chengyou supervises the country as a prince and does a good job, the prince is still a prince after all, and the gap is still very big. From now on, it is still unknown what direction the Han Dynasty will take and what the results will be. .
No matter what the thoughts and ideas of the superiors and subordinates were, the imperial power was successfully passed on, and the news that Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne was quickly spread throughout the world in the form of an imperial edict. At the same time, condolences were expressed both internally and externally.
After moving to Chui Gong Hall, Liu Chengyou first summoned the generals of the Tokyo Forbidden Army to the imperial court. No matter what time, the army is always the most important.
In the palace, Shi Hongzhao, Liu Xin, the uncles of the Li family, Shang Hongqian, Zhou Hui and other senior generals from the bodyguard department were all present. Liu Chengyou was among them. On the surface, he did appear to be somewhat "weak". However, upon closer inspection, it is obvious that even these veteran heroes do not look down upon the young emperor who has only succeeded to the throne for less than half an hour. Of course, to say there is much awe is nonsense.
The biggest difference between Liu Chengyou and the original owner is that he already has a foundation and influence in the military, and it is not small.
After scanning around, Liu Chengyou was already very familiar with these veterans in the palace. He couldn't help but be familiar with them. He had already had some ideas in his mind about how to replace them, who to replace them first, and who to replace them with.
Looking at these people again after changing his identity, Liu Chengyou felt something else in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked the generals to sit down. Liu Chengyou said very kindly: "Everyone here is a hero who followed the late emperor and fought against all odds. The founders of Han Dynasty just now are all my uncles."
"I don't dare!" Liu Chengyou lowered his stance so low that all the warriors knew how to deal with it, no matter how low their emotional intelligence was.
However, Liu Chengyou's "horse" is also very comfortable to photograph. Everyone knows that Liu Chengyou is strict and serious. Now that he has become emperor, he has obviously improved. Just his attitude towards everyone is enough to make them feel at ease.
Among the generals, there were a lot of relatives of the emperor. After Liu Chengyou opened his mouth, the atmosphere quickly calmed down. If it hadn't been for the national mourning period, he would probably still be able to see his smile.
"The Han Dynasty was first established. After many twists and turns, Rong and Di harassed the border, and ferocious dogs were watching. The late Emperor Yan Jia, it can be said that the earth is shattering and the sky is falling. I am young and weak, and others take it lightly. I am only afraid of small troubles and rebels plotting rebellion. The Shu army in Guanzhong has not yet However, at this time of national tragedy, at this time, there can be no more chaos in the country. Next, the country of Han Dynasty still needs the support of all uncles. Chengyou is here, thank you in advance!" After saying that, Liu Chengyou returned Stand up and bow solemnly.
Seeing this, everyone did not dare to neglect, and stood up to return the greeting.
Liu Xin also said to Liu Chengyou carelessly: "Erlang, you don't have to be so polite. The late emperor has already given me instructions to protect the young master and protect the country. Don't worry, with my uncle here, you will be able to be the emperor safely!"
Hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and Liu Chengyou actually smiled at Liu Xin: "I feel relieved that my uncle and you are here!"
This was probably the first time the generals present saw Liu Chengyou smile.
"The system left by the late emperor, military and political matters are the same as the old system. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the court and Tokyo, and the first thing is to ensure the stability of the forbidden army. The hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Tokyo are all under the control of your uncles Commander, during this time, please work harder to lead the generals, calm the soldiers, calm the morale of the army, and prevent chaos!" Liu Chengyou said still politely.
"yes!"
Pretending to be a kind face, he calmed these senior generals with kind words. After they retreated, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at these people. If you have many relatives and good attitudes, you can rest assured.
Liu Chengyou could clearly feel that Liu Xin, for example, was already a little distracted. He had just spoken. Although he had always expressed humility, he was the emperor after all. And Liu Xin dared to call him "Erlang" to emphasize that he was his. uncle? Maybe Liu Xin didn't have the power and ideas, but his performance was already out of line, and it was only half an hour after Liu Chengyou took the throne.
However, even so, Liu Chengyou has no plans to make any more big moves. At the time of transition from old to new, stability is paramount. We would rather keep nothing unchanged than act rashly and cause unnecessary trouble. Liu Chengyou's foundation is "deep", but it only allows him to successfully succeed to the throne.
In addition to the "three envoys" previously appointed to ensure the safety and tranquility of the imperial city, Liu Chengyou had no intention of changing his military affairs and did not want to make any more small moves. Even Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao had no intention of letting him move his position.
In short, the future is long.
Accompanied by Li Chongju, Liu Chengyou personally inspected each gate of the imperial city and emphasized to the palace guards and imperial guards the new emperor they were protecting. Before taking a rest, we went back to Long Live Hall...
He didn't do much, but he worried too much. Until noon, Liu Chengyou went to Chui Gong Hall to rest for a while. If his liver explodes again, he is afraid that something will happen to his body.
When he woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was Da Fu's beautiful face, lying on his side beside the couch, staring at Liu Chengyou.
"Guan Jia, you're awake." Seeing Liu Chengyou open his eyes, Dafu became more energetic, reached out to help him up, and changed his name naturally.
"You're here." Liu Chengyou responded, looked at the robe covering him and the shoes he took off at an unknown time, and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's the third quarter of Xu Chu!" Dafu said.
Rubbing his eyes and looking outside, sure enough, it was already dark. Liu Chengyou immediately summoned one of the waiters and scolded him directly: "Didn't I tell you to wake me up at midnight?"
Seeing Liu Chengyou's anger, he was immediately frightened. Dafu took the initiative to step forward, caressed Liu Chengyou's chest, and whispered: "I ordered you to let the official sleep a little longer. You haven't slept for a long time, so you can't be exhausted." Body!"
Dafu's hand seemed to have magic power. Feeling the soft movements on his chest, Liu Chengyou's anger calmed down. He knew that Fu Shi was doing it for his own good, but that chamberlain was directly put on Liu Chengyou's blacklist.
Da Fu prepared some porridge for Liu Chengyou, paying great attention to the details and making it not watery.
When Fang was hungry, Prime Minister Li Tao asked to see Liu Chengyou. When he saw Liu Chengyou, he opened his mouth and said the matter was very serious: "If you don't stop it, officials, there will be chaos in Tokyo!"
Liu Chengyou was confused by what he said, and his heart was sensitive. He immediately asked: "What happened?"
"There is an official report that the late emperor Yan Jia, the imperial court surrendered and expressed condolences, but few people in the city responded. Liu Dushuai sent troops to the square, went from house to house, forcing the people to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety, and to mourn for the emperor Daxing. A little bit uncomfortable From then on, it was beating, scolding and torture..."
Without Li Tao describing it in detail, Liu Chengyou could imagine what the scene was like. He cursed secretly in his heart and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It's been half an hour!" Li Tao replied.
"The late emperor has a clear policy. Funerals and funerals must not disturb the people!" Liu Chengyou stood up and directly ordered: "Pass on my edict and order him to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. The Tokyo Forbidden Army is not allowed to have any soldiers or soldiers enter people's houses privately. Anyone who violates it Treated with military law!"
"Yes!" After receiving Liu Chengyou's order, Li Tao immediately resigned and hurriedly passed on the order.
After he retreated, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath, smashed the imperial case hard, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Send the army to force the people to cry, it's a shame he can think of it!"
"Officials, calm down!" Seeing Liu Chengyou's expression was not right, Dafu immediately came up to him and advised him warmly: "Uncle or beloved brother, it's not too late to stop the disaster in time to avoid spreading chaos... .”
"It's hard to be an emperor!" After hearing the advice, Liu Chengyou complained softly.
Da Fu said: "Believe in the officials, they will be able to overcome all difficulties."
"I wish!"
After regaining his energy a little, Liu Chengyou went to Mrs. Li, preparing to pay her respects.
His mind was a little depressed. Although Liu Xin was now the deputy commander of the Guards and Horse Infantry Army, he had suppressed Shi Hongzhao out of some subtle suppression. However, it now seems that if Liu Xin were to be the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, he would not be much better than Shi Hongzhao, and he would even be even more unscrupulous by virtue of his status as "uncle of the emperor."
This doesn't give him any time to react, which is a bit nerve-wracking.
Liu Zhiyuan died on the night of the 27th. On the 29th, the ministers went to court and asked Liu Chengyou to listen to the government. Then there was a necessary show of procedures. The imperial edict refused, and he obeyed after four times.
When Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, the ceremony was extremely simple. It was just a "grass stage group" setting up a stage to perform operas.
Now that he has taken over the Central Plains, although the interval is only one year, Liu Chengyou cannot be too vague when he succeeds to the throne. Even if he is quick and simple, there still needs to be a ceremony.
On the first day of the second lunar month, Liu Chengyou ascended the throne in Chongyuan Hall.
