Chapter 401: Inheritance (1st Update)
After the Zhengdan court, the first major event in the world was that the Son of Heaven approved the resignation of Wei Qihou, worshiped Gongsun Hong as the prime minister, and sealed the Marquis of Pingjin. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The prime minister has been a marquis since then.
Gongsun Hong was the prime minister, and his deliberations often followed the will of the Son of Heaven and never opposed the opinions of the Son of Heaven.
It's clear that the pavilion pottery is clear, and it is impossible to imagine that in the past when the emperor was in the past, it was impossible for the prime minister to block the Son of Heaven back with a word. He told Gillian that there would be no time when the imperial power was subject to the power in the future.
After all, when Wei Qihou is the prime minister, he will not blindly follow the preferences of the Son of Heaven, and it is not once or twice that the two monarchs and ministers who cannot agree with each other will blush and have thick necks.
The power is more or less still checking and balancing the imperial power, but now it is the joy, anger and sorrow of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to speak.
Ji Di said bluntly in front of the Son of Heaven several times that Gongsun Hong is becoming more and more hypocritical, although he is the prime minister, he is blindly flattering, which is what the minister of the country looks like?
Even Gillian who was sitting on the side didn't let go, saying that she should be the son of heaven, how could she be so laissez-faire?
Ji Huang is an old man, and he once washed horses for the prince and taught the Son of Heaven.
It is the strictest of the several teachers of the Son of Heaven, and he pays the most attention to the temperament and discipline.
The Son of Heaven has always respected the teacher, and even Wei Xiang, who resigned and returned to his hometown during the Jianyuan New Deal, died of illness in the fourth year of Yuanguang, and the teacher who was still alive naturally became more and more expensive.
At the moment, he naturally didn't refute half a sentence, Ji Di saw that the Son of Heaven had such a good attitude, and he couldn't bear to continue, so he said in a soothing tone and asked the Son of Heaven to think twice and left.
Ji Di is Taizheng, so he can't understand the tacit understanding between the Son of Heaven and Gongsun Hong, but because of this, the Son of Heaven is more and more aware of the preciousness of this kind of direct minister.
People like Gongsun Hong are also talented and easy to use, but they can easily move for heavy profits.
is not like a person like Ji Di, who has deep loyalty in his bones, and it is difficult for him to change his mind and ascend to the sky.
Gillian was also very emotional, she finally figured out how Ji Huang hindered Gongsun Hong's eyes in her previous life, so that later Gongsun Hong wanted to get Ji Huang to become an official in the right internal history with his prestigious words.
There are many aristocratic clans there, and it is really difficult to govern.
Later, I found out that Ji Di was really not afraid of offending anyone, and he would deal with it as he should, which made the nobles of the clan happy.
He also took the opportunity of Ji Di to pour cold water on the Son of Heaven who was happy with the gods and horses, saying that Ji Di was disrespectful and should be killed.
Such a grievance must be repaid, it is really the second of the master's father.
It's just that Gongsun Hong is smarter than the master father, knowing the bottom line, knowing the proportions, and knowing who is absolutely not allowed to move.
But now that Gillian has relived this life, she can't watch these officialdoms happen again.
A person can't live too comfortably, and what he can't listen to in his ears is some flattery.
Even if we have reached unprecedented heights, we should always remain cautious and listen to criticism.
Liu Che in his later years, it was precisely because the majesty of the emperor reached its peak that no one dared to tell him the truth, and to tell the truth, he made many big mistakes.
Gillian will not let him go down the old path, let alone make it difficult for Hui'er to find a prince who is not afraid of imperial power when she grows up.
*****
Out of the New Year, the weather is getting warmer day by day.
By the end of February, almost overnight, the spring breeze brought spring to the city of Chang'an.
The thick ice under the walls of the palace was hit day by day by the droplets of water dripping from under the eaves, and finally smashed through it over time.
The water melted away the ice, and the soil became moist and green, almost overnight.
Skylarks stood in groups on the cornices and sang with their voices, and the branches of the trees under the verandah in the courtyard seemed to be much softer and more delicate after the spring rain, gently fluttering with the wind.
All things in heaven and earth are gradually waking up in this soft spring light, and the spring breeze is wandering around Chang'an City, greedy for the bustle of the prosperous place.
In the dead of night, the mild and humid spring breeze left Chang'an, and went all the way north over the mountains and mountains to the court of the Xiongnu king.
When the wind arrives, it is the time when the morning sun is rising, and the Gesang flowers, saffron, and purple ear flowers that have just emerged on the grassland illuminated by thousands of golden lights are becoming more and more delicate and bright.
When the wind reaches the grassland, it is natural to run happily with the galloping horses.
When he was finally tired, he rested in the clouds, smelling the unique smell of sheep on the grassland.
But it seems that this time the bitter and unpalatable smell of medicine is stronger, and Feng knows that this must be the illness of the first-class nobles in the court of the Huns, because the taste comes from the largest and most gorgeous tent in the royal court.
It was the military minister Shan Yu who was sick, in fact, he had been sick since the end of last year, and he was so sick that he was about to die.
If it weren't for the fact that his son Yu Shan hadn't been able to get the inheritance successfully, he gritted his teeth and stubbornly survived, so he couldn't have gone early.
Prince Yudan, the son of the military minister, is also the king of the Xiongnu Zuo Tuqi.
The Xiongnu said that the virtuous said 'Tu Qi', so the prince often took the prince as the king of Tu Qi.
Therefore, it is an open secret that the military minister Shan Yu deliberately passed on the position of Shan Yu to Prince Yushan.
However, unlike the natural legitimacy of the Han people's son inheriting his father's will, the inheritance system of Xiongnu Shan Yu is more complicated, and the inheritance of primogeniture, brother to brother, and uncle to nephew, nephew to uncle, etc. are all legitimate.
This was created by the unique environment of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu worshipped the strong, and they also needed the strong to lead the tribe to the east and west in the harsh natural environment.
The weak one is Shan Yu, and it is very likely that he will lead the tribe to decline, or even be swallowed up by other countries in the Western Regions.
Therefore, it is an immutable truth that whoever is strong is the next Shan Yu.
But fathers in the world always have the same heart, and since they have a son, they naturally hope to let their son ascend the throne.
It's just that Shan Yu of the Xiongnu dynasties obviously did not do as well as the Han people for centralizing power, and none of Shan Yu could do everything he could in the heir position.
If Yu Shan wants to inherit Shan Yu, he must first be an adult, and secondly, he must be elected by the noble council.
Of these two conditions, there can be one and two.
Yu Shan is already an adult, and the second condition is difficult to do.
The aristocratic meeting is a meeting of the Xiongnu to deal with major political affairs, worship ancestors, and inspect subordinates, which is held three times a year.
In the process of Shan Yu's succession, its role is to elect a new Shan Yu, which is a ritual that every Shan Yu must go through when he ascends the throne, otherwise it is regarded as an illegal inheritance and cannot be recognized and accepted by the Huns.
At the meeting of the Xiongnu nobles of the Spring Festival of the First Lunar New Year, more than half of the nobles had a vague attitude towards the single succession.
The military minister was greatly annoyed by this, he knew that it was his brother Yi Zhixian who was stirring up in it, and he wanted to compete with Yu Shan for the position.
Yi Zhi's talent and military merit lie far in the single one, and he was awarded the title of King of Zuogu Li.
Among the Xiongnu, the left and right valley kings are two of the twenty-four long, second to the left and right virtuous kings.
And because King Zuo Xian has always been a deputy prince, only under Shan Yu, he has not been put aside.
The Huns have always had the custom of respecting the left. It sits north to south, the elder is on the left, and the left is respected. When he died, the shape of the tomb was also north-south, with the head facing north.
Because of this, the king of Zuogu Li is actually second only to the existence of Shan Yu.
In the past, this younger brother only fought with his head bored, and the military ministers had already revealed their intention to give up to Yu Shan to take the throne, and Yi Zhixian was not dissatisfied, let alone talking about his brother and brother.
The military ministers didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, as soon as he fell ill, Yi Zhixian began to jump up and down, contacting the Xiongnu nobles in order to get a big position.
