Chapter 162, Filial Piety
On April 11, the sixth year of Zhongping in the world, in the Jiade Hall of Luoyang Nangong, Liu Hong was already dying. He is only thirty-three years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the seventh year of Guanghe, the entire empire has been quelling the rebellion. He wasn't a wise monarch, but he wasn't a dumb monarch either. Absurdity is absurd, but the major events of the family and country have never really been wasted.
The rebellion has been smooth, Huangfu Song is more capable than Liu Hong expected, and the two clans of Liu Yu and Liu Yan are also very capable. It's just that the country really doesn't have much money, and the powerful troops like the Sanhe and the Five Colonels are about to be unable to raise, and Liu Hong even had the idea of disbanding these two types of troops. But after thinking about it, I still didn't dare.
The merits of the five schools of Sanhe in history are too great, Dou Xian led them to destroy the Northern Xiongnu, and the Empress Dowager Deng used them to cripple the Qiang people. The Yellow Turban Rebellion and the great rebellion in recent years were also mostly contributed by the five schools of Sanhe, and if they were disbanded, some would not pass. Reproducing in this world is not too stable, in case there is a rebellion in the future, it is good to leave some team for his son to fight.
Turning his head, he looked at his two sons, one was Liu Xian, the eldest son born to Queen He, and the other was Liu Xie, the youngest son born to Wang Meiren. At the moment, they are lying on the head of the bed, constantly wiping their tears.
Liu Hong felt a rare sense of comfort, compared with many previous emperors, he was lucky, although the thirty-three-year-old age was not as good as Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Xiaoming and Emperor Xiaoheng, but among many emperors, he was also ranked fourth with Emperor Xiaozhang. And what is worthy of pride is that he has two surviving sons! Much better than the previous emperors.
"Bian'er, Xie'er, you go out to find the queen and the queen mother first, my father is just slightly infected with the wind cold, and it will be fine soon. ”
"Father's ......"
Liu Bian and Liu Xie were taken out by the palace maids in reluctance.
Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo on the side, although Jian Shuo was a eunuch, he was born with a powerful force, and he was his most trusted courtier. Last year, he personally set up the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, with Jian Shuo as the captain of the military academy, above the captains of the colonels.
Jian Shuo hurriedly ran to the head of the bed and knelt down, his head firmly pressed against the ground. The emperor trusted him, and he trusted the emperor. The emperor is about to die, how can he not be sad in his heart? It's just that in this power field, there has never been a moment of seclusion in the open and secret struggle, and there is really no time to be sad about anything.
Liu Hong squeezed out a smile and said, "Jian Shuo, you are the person I trust the most, and I have important things to entrust to you." ”
Jian Shuo was respectful and said, "Your Majesty, please command, the minister will serve the dead." ”
Liu Hong nodded, he believed that Jian Shuo would not betray him, so he said: "I have two sons, the eldest son Liu Wei was born to Empress He, and the youngest son Liu Xie was born to Wang Meiren, and he has been raised by Empress Dowager Dong. Do you know why I haven't had a prince yet?"
"The minister did not dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. ”
Liu Hong smiled and said a little weakly: "Although Liu Bian is the eldest son, he is too wooden and not smart enough. I was worried that he would not be able to inherit the unification, and wanted to establish Liu Xie, but Liu Xie was a young son, and his name was not suitable. Second, the queen's brother He Jin is a general and holds military power in his hands. I originally wanted to not appoint a prince for the time being, and gradually cut off the power of the He family, but unfortunately I didn't have time to take a holiday. ”
Jian Shuo said with some sadness: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live a long life, and you will definitely be fine!"
Liu Hong shook his head, how can there be an emperor in this world who really lives to 10,000 years, he is not Emperor Xiaowu, and he has no idea of seeking immortality. has been absurd for more than 20 years, and he can be regarded as enjoying the fun of the world, and he has few regrets.
"I founded the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, and I appointed you as the Captain of the Upper Army, the head of all the Captains. Although the time is still short, it has achieved some results. I will entrust you with this great task today!"
Jian Shuo didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and pressed his head very low. The emperor wants to entrust his will, listen to it in his heart, and find a way to do it in the future.
Liu Hongping retreated left and right, struggled to sit up, and said to Jian Shuo: "I order you to act when you have the opportunity to support Liu Xie to succeed him." ”
Jian Shuo heard this, his body couldn't help but shake, although he had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, but now from the emperor's mouth, he heard the words of abolishing the elder and the young, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
After a pause, Jian Shuo raised his head slightly and said, "The minister has a decree, and I am willing to help the prince and the prince to succeed to the throne." Your Majesty, but please rest assured, even if the minister dies, he will not be disappointed by His Majesty."
Liu Hong nodded, his body collapsed to the head of the bed, and he was silent at the moment.
Jian Shuo looked at Liu Hong's body and kowtowed respectfully three times. Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is dead! Your Majesty is dead! Your Majesty is dead......!"
Liu Hong didn't hear Jian Shuo's sad shouts, and he was still in a state of confusion until now. Guan Gao treated him better than his predecessors, and it couldn't have been better! Thumb-thick chains trapped his hands and feet, and a rod of iron rods passed through them. The iron chain is tied very tightly, similar to tying up a dead pig, and Guan Gao's eyes when he looks at Liu Hong are similar to looking at a dead pig.
This bastard is even worse than his predecessor Liu Zhi, ridiculous, no, he is always at war, the country is poor, and the people are even poorer. Even Luoyang has people who are dying of hunger, and Liu Bang's grandsons are really not as good as the generation.
Liu Hongyuan was even worse than Guan Gao's estimate, everyone was sent to the judge's mansion, Ji Dan's public house, and he was still confused. Guan Gao smiled helplessly at Ji Dan, and the soul sent down didn't wake up when he arrived at the judge's mansion, and he didn't know whether he should leave or stay. Ji Dan also encountered this situation for the first time, and he was quite curious about it.
He asked Guan Gao: "How is the world now? Is Luoyang Chenghuang Mansion busy? Is there a new emperor?"
Guan Gao said in a low voice: "The chaos in the world has been revealed, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be regarded as the last luck of the Han family." There were people starving to death in Luoyang, although it was not much, but it was not a good sign. The new emperor has not yet been elected, Liu Hong did not set up a prince, and when he was dying, he entrusted the eunuch Jian Shuo with a will, asking Jian Shuo to support his young son Liu Xie to ascend the throne. ”
Ji Dan couldn't help frowning, and said, "Waste Chang Liyoung?"
Guan Gao nodded, Ji Dan's face became a little strange, the Zhou rites that Confucius has always advocated were formulated by him personally, and the elders are not young, this is the foundation of the inheritance system. He has always been disliked by the abolition of the elder and the young, and feels that this is the source of chaos in the world.
Liu Hong groaned lazily, wanting to stretch, but found that his hands and feet were bound by iron chains. What caught my eye was a blackened wall, not yet a cloud of flowers. Two old men were talking across a table, and several soldiers in black armor stood near the door.
"Where is this?Why am I here?Who are you?Why are you holding me up?"
Guan Gao turned his head to look at Liu Hong, his face was extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "This is the public house of the prefectural magistrate's mansion, do you know if you are dead!"
Liu Hong was intimidated by Guan Gao's momentum, his voice was lowered, and he said, "I... I know, if you're dead... Do you have to be tied up?"
Guan Gao said angrily: "Just because of you, how much trouble has we suffered! What's wrong with tying you up! Unconvinced!"
Ji Dan hurriedly grabbed him, for fear that he would be impulsive and do something he shouldn't do!
Guan Gao immediately stopped his movements, and Shang Ying really didn't dare to provoke. In the pre-Qin period, two villages in the Qin State violated the Qin law because of the fight for water sources, and Shang Ying beheaded more than 600 people in accordance with the Qin law, without the slightest mercy. After entering the judge's mansion, all the judges who were found to have violated the laws and regulations of the Lin Mansion were dealt with in accordance with the law, and they never relented.
Shang Jun only has the law in his eyes, and nothing else. is impartial and selfless, I'm afraid it is comparable to Yan Jun. It's just that I haven't been able to promote to immortal so far, which is really a pity.
The thought of regret flashed through Guan Gao's mind, and then was replaced by a feeling of happiness. Fortunately, Shang Jun did not become Yan Jun, so he couldn't imagine that scene. Shang Juncheng is staring at you, dare to be lazy, dare to be presumptuous, I'm afraid you don't want to die again......
Command left and right, remove the iron chains on Liu Hong's hands and feet. Turned to Ji Dan and said, "Judge Ji, Liu Hong has woken up, I will leave, there are many affairs in the world, and I can't leave for a long time." ”
Ji Dan nodded and said, "Okay, you go slowly, and bring me some crabs from the world next time you come." ”
"Aren't there crabs in the world?"
"The crabs in the underworld are too big to cook or eat. It's still a crab in the world, and it's just right. ”
Guan Gao should inherit it, he knows how big the crabs in the underworld are, and Ji Dan's is not wrong at all, it is really inconvenient to cook. To cook a crab, you need to use a big ding, who has nothing to do and will prepare a ding for cooking? Probably only Yan Jun. I heard that there was always a three-legged tripod in the corner of the Yan Jun Palace, which Yan Jun occasionally used to cook fish soup to drink. I don't know if it's true, if only I had a chance to have a meal! It's been a long time since the Yan Jun have invited many people to eat together, and there hasn't been a large-scale gathering in the underworld for a long time. The days went by, and the more boring they became.
Ji Dan calmed down, tried his best to eliminate the prejudice against Liu Hong, and reviewed his life.
Two words "ridiculous"! Three words "really ridiculous"! Four words "really ridiculous"! Ji Dan summed up only a few words from Liu Hong's life. Engrave the verdict on the bamboo slips, throw it into the brazier, and wait for the reply!
Xuannu quickly approved Ji Dan's decision, without adding a word, not deleting a word, and directly stamped a big seal underneath. Ji Dan has been a judge for a long time, and he hasn't missed a single time. He can be called one of the strongest judges in the Judge's Mansion!
Ji Dan finally said to Liu Hong: "Liu Hong, after the review of Yan Jundian today, the judgment on you is as follows, the test is average, and the test is average." Sentence you to stay in the prefecture, wait for the yin life to be exhausted, and then reincarnate. You go out and wait outside the judge's mansion, and I will inform someone from your old Liu family to pick you up. ”
"Ahh Huh?"
Liu Hong didn't hear too clearly, he was in the fugue just now. Ji Dan didn't pay attention to him all the time, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask, Guan Gao's appearance just now scared him. After all, at this moment, he is on the turf of Don't spare it, and he doesn't dare to do it, and he doesn't dare to ask, so he can only pretend to be honest.
Ji Dan rolled his eyes and repeated again.
"Thank you, Judge!"
Liu Hong gave a gentle salute, pushed the door and walked out.
Ji Dan shook his head in the back, an emperor like Liu Hong really made him incomprehensible. Other emperors were afraid that there would be chaos after their death, but Liu Hong seemed to be afraid that there would be no chaos after his death. Liu Wei was supported by He's relatives, and Liu Xie was supported by the Empress Dowager and eunuchs. I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight to the death? Alas, I'm going to have to work all night again......
