Chapter 400 The Voyage Must Be the Prince

……………………………………

Poor Liu Hanshao, his small body is only eighteen years old, but he is already distressed about his heir. This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the temptation of the "throne" is too great, and if one is not handled well, their little babies may turn against each other and kill each other in the future. If that really happens, it will not only be a tragedy for your own family, but may evolve into a tragedy for the entire Han!

If you completely obey the ancient system and set up an eldest son, Yong'an Palace will only be a "palace" in the future, and it will no longer be a "home". Moreover, Liu Yun Yuanhang is his eldest son after all, and his name has an unknown secret, no matter what, Yuanhang must be the prince of his brother!

Liu Yunge's 100-day banquet, Liu Hanshao was very rare, paid out of his own pocket, and feasted the ministers to show his love for his eldest daughter. In fact, it is to invite everyone to eat dumplings, the homonym "happy to be a petite", Confucius said that "dumplings are wine, and the more you drink, the more you have." However, don't care about these details, because Liu Hanshao issued an edict on the spot at the banquet and canonized Liu Yunyuan as the crown prince.

Sure enough, some people agreed with it, some people objected, and the reason for the opponents was that "Your Majesty is young and strong, and the prince is less than a year old, and his morality is not obvious, so it is not appropriate to be established as a prince prematurely." There is another reason that "Huang Zihang is from Empress Yunni of the East Palace, not from Empress Yunlian of the Middle Palace, should he be regarded as a concubine?" ”

Prior to this, Liu Hanshao actually communicated with the three of them, and when he proposed to canonize Liu Yun Yuanhang as the crown prince, the first to oppose it was Yun Wuniu, but the third and sixth girls agreed in unison.

Don't look at Yun Wuniu, who has been spoiled from pregnancy to childbirth, but at the moment, she is very conscious, and she took the initiative to say that she should let Sanniu's future son be the prince. Sanniu said: "We are the same body, like sisters, all the children are the children of my husband, the children of our family." Hang'er is the eldest son and should be the crown prince. ”

They are still young, and their hearts are still pure and clean!

"Sanniu is right, they are all our children, how can they be divided into three, six, nine and so on? It's just that Yuanhang is the boss, so he should naturally take on the responsibility of our royal family. ”

Liu Hanshao said with emotion: "Brother told you, in fact, being an emperor is really not a human job. If you are busy all day long, you may be scolded for thousands of years. Brother has already thought about it, he will retire when he reaches sixty, and when the time comes, while we can still move, I will take you out for a spin and look at the mountains and rivers of our Han everywhere. For ourselves, live a few comfortable days. ”

Yun Sanniu and the three of them knew Liu Hanshao's thoughts, he had been working hard to turn the "palace" into a "home", he refused to accept concubines for them, and built a four-wheeled carriage to take them for a ride, without the service of eunuchs or even palace maids, and encouraged them to go out to do things...... In short, for them, he did a lot of things that were not what an emperor should do.

Now, he said that he would retire at sixty and take them to the mountains and rivers, wouldn't that be tantamount to giving up the throne for their sake? Sixty years old...... Everyone was very old at that time, right?

…………

Although the canonization of Liu Yunyuan as the crown prince did not receive the unanimous support of the Aiqing, Liu Hanshao had made up his mind, and he just informed everyone, and he didn't think to ask for their opinions at all.

For the old ministers who have been with Liu Hanshao for a long time, they have gradually figured out their temper, and they all know that this emperor brother is sometimes very easy to talk to, such as military, civil, and government affairs, he will hold a meeting first, discuss and listen to everyone's opinions. But sometimes they are very stubborn, and they are screwed to death, such as canonizing the queen, getting a mess, driving the royal conquest, and running to Chang'an. While everyone felt helpless, they could only choose to forgive him and accommodate him......

Seeing that the canonization of the crown prince could not be changed, all the Aiqing also closed their mouths with interest, anyway, His Majesty is now young and strong, and the prince is not yet a year old, even if everyone wants to invest and take refuge in advance, they are all on the same starting line, and there is no one near and who is far away, and they will do it and watch it.

However, the next thing still shocked the Manchu Dynasty, and Aiqing was stunned, because Liu Hanshao personally issued an edict to establish a law for the deposition of the emperor.

First, all the emperors of the Han Dynasty have the responsibility of guarding the national territory, and those who lose one-ten-thousandth of the national land can enter the abolition procedure.

Note: When the actual loss of land after the war, the amount shall prevail.

2. All emperors of the Han Dynasty have the responsibility of observing festivals, self-discipline, and advocating honesty, and those who embezzle state property more than twice the emperor's salary can enter the procedure of abolition.

Remarks: The emperor's salary for the current year is one-ten-thousandth of the country's income for the current year, and the new monarch of later generations is not allowed to increase the income.

Third, all the emperors of the Han Dynasty have the responsibility of abiding by the law and serving the public and setting an example for the people.

Note: It is necessary to refer to the laws of the country, and the crime meets the standard of the death penalty.

Fourth, all emperors of the Han Dynasty have the responsibility of making virtuous for the country, and when they reach the age of sixty, they should automatically abdicate and let the virtuous be the prince.

Fifth, the prince sets standards: regardless of age, the eldest son of the emperor is the first, and he must be at least 16 years old. If the emperor collapses and no heirs have reached the age of 16, the eldest son of the emperor should be the heir to the throne, and at the same time an auxiliary political group will be established, and the left deputy of the three governments will jointly serve as a member of the group, and the new monarch will be automatically abolished when he reaches adulthood.

Remarks: If the prince commits a crime and is sentenced to more than five years, he may be deposed and re-established; If the prince suffers from mental illness or intellectual disability and is unable to serve normally, he may appoint another prince. It is not allowed to revoke the prince on the grounds that he has no personal morality, poor appearance, or physical illness.

6. Where the procedure for abolition is initiated, a large court meeting shall be held, which shall be jointly discussed and voted on by the Prime Minister's Office, the Military Government, the Imperial Government, and the Political Council. With 70% in favor, as the criterion for deposing the emperor, the Legislative Department, the Procuratorial Department, and the Judicial Department jointly supervise the committee to announce whether the voting results are fair and legal.

…………

As soon as this law came out, the Aiqing people all sobered up, cautious, and did not dare to speak easily.

This thing is too big, since ancient times, the monarchy has been divinely granted, and the mandate of heaven returns, so the emperor is also called the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has a golden hoop stick, as thick as he wants, as long as he wants, and he can stab whoever he wants. At that time, Dong Zhongshu hollowed out his mind and tried his best to promote the "induction of heaven and man", which was nothing more than wanting the emperor to be restrained and fearful for the sake of caution, so there was "the ruler of man is the government, the law should be the sky, and the government of virtue should be practiced." Words. Since the emperor is called the "Son of Heaven", he uses the father of "Heaven" to control, although it is not to limit the power of the monarch, but its meaning is clear.

Now, is our emperor brother "swollen"? actually took the initiative to establish a law for the dethronement of the emperor, did you want to practice divine skills, so you wielded a sword...... By the way, when the royal state was divided, His Majesty said that in the future, one-ten-thousandth of the country's income will be the emperor's salary, and more than twice the amount of ink can depose the emperor. It's just that in the past two years, no one has seen the Wage Office pay salaries to the emperor, so no one dares to take it seriously, and now it seems that His Majesty is playing for real.

After a long time, Liu Yucai, the president of the military government, said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, you have established a son as a noble, and a descendant as a long-term heir. Now His Majesty is a prince, only divided into the eldest and youngest, not the descendants, only afraid that the ancestral inheritance will fall into the side branches, the royal blood is dirty and unclean, the concubines covet the big position, and the brothers will cause trouble to the wall. Your Majesty, think twice...... Think again! ”

As he spoke, Liu Yu was heartbroken, and even cried in public, as if his heart and liver treasure had been taken away.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hanshao personally walked to Liu Yu's side and comforted: "Uncle Huang, you are not only the president of the military government, but also a member of the royal family. Think about it, since the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao, my Han Dynasty has gone through nearly 400 years, during which how many emperors were unable to manage the government because they were young, resulting in the queen mother coming to the dynasty to weigh the system, appointing relatives to seize power and sit big, favoring eunuchs to act recklessly, the world is unstable, and the people are hard? There were even usurpers and thieves, which cut off the state for a time. If it weren't for the ancestor Guangwu Emperor to raise troops in Nanyang, conquer Wang Mang, restore the Han Dynasty, and then continue the national throne, how could you and my uncle and nephew discuss the concubine here? Therefore, when the prince ascends the throne and rules the world, he must first become an adult. Besides, the successors in the future are all the children and grandchildren of the elder brother, Confucius said that it is good, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, who is not a baby? Don't you like Hang'er? When he grows up, he will also call you the imperial grandfather. ”

That's right, anyway, the people who will be emperors in the future are the children and grandchildren of this brother, what does it have to do with our family? Although the prince is young now, he can't even speak, but he will always grow up in the future, if he knows that I have opposed him, and then come to clean up our house, what will it be?

Now His Majesty calls himself "Uncle Huang", which is enough face, and if he continues to push this matter hard, he can only embarrass himself, and he can't change the facts.

So, Liu Yu went down the slope.

"What Your Majesty said is the way to truly honor the royal family, and the old minister should congratulate Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Liu Yu had just been dealt with here, and Liu Hanshao didn't have time to take a breath, and then he heard Wang Yun, the prime minister of the imperial palace, say: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the monarchy has been divinely granted, and the mandate of heaven has returned, and there has never been a law to abolish the emperor." If this law is established, it will be tantamount to encouraging the courtiers to do disobedient things, and deceiving the king will inevitably lead to great disaster. I hope that Your Majesty will be cautious and cautious. ”

Since he came back from Taiyuan, Wang Yun seems to have changed his temper, not only is he no longer easy to get angry, but he will not easily fight against Liu Hanshao. After all, Liu Hanshao spoke with a stable and increasingly prosperous state, and proved that the original decision was correct, and all that was needed was for Wang Yun to kill a few domestic pigs and lose a few handfuls of hair.

Today, Wang Yun seems to be opposing Liu Hanshao again on the surface, but in fact, he just wants to remind Liu Hanshao that he must not play it off. After all, the Taiyuan people have already asked Wang Yun to get out, if he doesn't hug Liu Hanshao's thighs again, where can he go to retire?

Of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, it is precisely because of Liu Hanshao's ascension to the throne in the past two or three years that Wang Yun has seen the Han Dynasty recover from the decadence and turmoil little by little and settle down, so he has become more and more convinced of Liu Hanshao, although many times, he still feels that this emperor brother does not look like an emperor.

According to Wang Yun's temper, he would not say words of compliment and praise to Liu Hanshao in person, but he was really afraid that after the law of deposing the emperor was formulated and implemented, would anyone take it and depose Liu Hanshao for his unreliable behavior.

If this kind of thing really happened, it would not only be a joke for Liu Hanshao, but also a loss for the Great Han Kingdom.
