The early death of Liu Chengxun, the king of Wei, died suddenly, and the sadness of death, especially for Emperor Liu Zhiyuan, was an extremely heavy blow. There is no doubt that Liu Zhiyuan has always been very satisfied with his eldest son, and has invested a lot of energy and effort in him, treating him as the heir to the king, and once had the idea of directly establishing his position as the crown prince, and ordered him to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, which fully expresses his intentions.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes......

For Liu Chengxun's funeral, Liu Zhiyuan handled it very grandly, even if the state was insufficient, the scale of the funeral was still very large, and he would rather violate the etiquette system and hold a funeral in the Biangong Palace, before and after, it took nearly half a month before it ended.

Later, Liu Zhiyuan also fell ill, he couldn't pretend to be good, he couldn't manage the government, and handed over the military administration to the ministers headed by Yang Wei, and lived in the palace to recuperate, and the lord stayed in the Renming Palace, probably seeking comfort from the Li family.

For Liu Chengyou, Liu Zhiyuan gave him a little expression, with the peace of affairs, joint governance, other than that, there is nothing else.

And Liu Chengyou is more low-key than before. In the court, be kind to others, do not fight or rob. Even for Yang Wei, there are more evasions and less disputes with him. After Liu Chengxun's death, Yang Wei was obviously a little nervous and hesitant.

However, those who do not give up day by day still enter the palace and greet Liu Zhiyuan and the Li family......

The winter is getting deeper, and when the year is cold, time is a good medicine to heal the pain, and after nearly a month of hard work, the sorrow shrouded in the palace has finally dissipated a lot.

"The officials and ministers are here, and they are waiting outside the palace to be summoned." In the vertical arch hall, the eunuch walked lightly, walked to the imperial case, and reported in a low voice.

"Let them in!" Liu Zhiyuan's voice was much older, but there was not much fluctuation.

After this period of cultivation, Liu Zhiyuan's body has recovered a lot, and the mental state of the whole person looks much better. As the emperor, after all, it is not good to look at the court, this time to pick up the abandoned government, but also to appease people's hearts, during this time, inside and outside the palace, rumors are spreading, seeing more and more turbulence, if you don't come out and leak a face, the country will have problems.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!" Soon, Yang, Wang, Ersu, Dou, Li and other important ministers entered the hall and worshiped together.

"Flat!" Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand lightly and said: "During this time, I have not been able to look at the DPRK, and the major affairs of the military state have been entrusted to the secretaries, resulting in a stable and unprosperous situation in the DPRK. Zhu Qing has worked hard! ”

Liu Zhiyuan said this, and the courtiers immediately bowed to show their loyalty, and everyone would say it.

"What about King Zhou?" Sweeping his eyes and noticing that Liu Chengyou was not there, Liu Zhiyuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the armory workshop has newly developed a batch of military armor, and His Royal Highness King Zhou has gone to inspect it." Guo Wei came out of the ranks.

Liu Zhiyuan nodded, he had heard that his son, who came in without any publicity, but he has been doing practical things.

"I heard that a lot of people died in the states?"

When these words fell, the chief minister Li Tao came out of the ranks, with some pity on his face, and bowed his hand: "It is the middle of winter, and the states of the Central Plains are short of materials for winter, and freezing and starvation happen from time to time. According to the reports of various states, there were casualties under the rule, most in the hundreds, and dozens in the widows! ”

"Alas!" Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but say: "I entered the Central Plains, founded the country, did not show grace to the people, benefited them with peace, but tired of suffering from the military rebellion, to this day, to the people are so poor, they can't keep out the cold." This is my sin! ”

"Your Majesty is serious! The ministers are deeply favored by the king, and the assistants are all chances, and they can't educate the people, resulting in tragedy, which is the fault of the ministers' incompetence, please punish Your Majesty! Su Fengji knelt down at the right time, with a "ashamed" face, and excitedly pleaded guilty.

However, the eyes kept glancing at Yang Wei. If the ministers are guilty, then Yang Wei is the "prime minister" and has to bear the main responsibility.

Su Fengji's eyes were basically unrestrained, Yang Wei naturally felt it, his expression was slightly bitter, his cheeks shook, he took a deep breath, and bowed for a long time: "Please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan took in the expressions of the two, waved his hand, and said: "Spread the edict to the generals of all states, be sure to help the people in distress, and not be passive and neglect the government!" ”

"Yes!"

In fact, the monarchs and ministers in the palace all knew in their hearts that this edict, as usual, was better than nothing, and the local festivals and officials, even if they had intentions, were probably powerless, and besides, whether they could really obey the edict was a question. For the people everywhere, they can only endure hard, and this cold winter is coming to an end......

"You may be seated!" Seeing that all the ministers were standing, Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand kindly and signaled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone sat down, Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on recently, Zhuqing is coming!" ”

"The Yong'an army made a break from Ruan Song, and the Khitan 4,000 troops went south to Fuzhou to fight the grass valley, but they were defeated by their unified army, killing more than 200 enemies and seizing 110 horses!" Guo Wei played.

"Obey Ruan Zhenliang, live up to my expectations, surrender and praise, and do things with the same level!" Liu Zhiyuan said.

"Jin Changjun Zhao Kuang praises, Shu army Beikou!" Yang Wei said.

As soon as these words fell, Liu Zhiyuan's expression was ruthless, and his tone was cold: "The Shu army is here again, is there no one who deceives me?" ”

Saying that, he slapped the imperial case heavily, his expression was grim, Liu Zhiyuan at this time was like an old sick tiger, but it felt even more dangerous. He took a deep breath and calmed down his irritable mood: "What's going on?" ”

"The lord of Shu this time, with the new mourning of the king of Wei, His Majesty is ill and wants to take advantage of the void. Send 50,000 troops, send 50,000 troops, and attack in three directions. Shannan West Road Jiedu envoy and Zhongshu ordered Zhang Qianzhao to recruit and pacify the northern camp, Xiongwu Jiedu made He rebuild the vice, Xuanhui made Han Baozhen as the capital Yuhou, a total of 50,000 generals, Qianzhao out of the pass, rebuilt out of Longzhou, in order to hit Fengxiang. Fengluan Su Wei Du Yu waited for Li Tingju's generals to leave the Meridian Valley with 20,000 troops to aid Chang'an......"

"The Jinchang army festival Zhao Kuangzan has few soldiers in Jingzhao, I am afraid that it will not be enough to defend, please send more reinforcements to the imperial court!"

"It's really a lot of movement!" Liu Zhiyuan's expression became more and more cold.

After a few sighs, Liu Zhiyuan suppressed the anger in his heart: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong has always been uneasy, and Xishu has taken the Qin Feng ladder, and has been watching from the side all the time, wanting to seize my territory!" Today, the right side of the Guan has become a difficult disease in my dynasty, what are the suggestions of the secretary? ”

"The imperial court must send troops to resist the Shu soldiers! Meng Shu took advantage of the fall of the Central Plains to seize the four states of Qin and Feng, and with the four states in hand, he could send troops to disturb Fengxiang and Jingzhao at any time. If you want to make Guanyou calm, you must retake the four states, so that you can turn the inferior into the best and consolidate the 800-mile Qinchuan. Otherwise, Guanzhong will always be uneasy! Guo Wei said with a determined face.

As soon as he heard that he was going to use troops, Wang Zhang immediately stood up, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, now the imperial court really has no power to mobilize troops!" ”

"Do you just sit back and watch the Shu army run rampant?" Liu Zhiyuan refuted, his words were full of anger, and he was a little irritable. Obviously, the pain of losing a child is not so easy to overcome.

"Your Majesty, the Lord must not be angry and raise a teacher!" Li Tao, the Chinese scholar, looked at Liu Zhiyuan boldly and said in a deep voice, his tone full of exhortation.

"What is Yang Xiang's opinion?" Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Yang Wei, who had not spoken.

Between Yang Wei's eyebrows, there was always a layer of dark clouds, and after hearing this, he thought for a while, got up and replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has no strength to regain the four states of Qin and Feng. However, when the Shu soldiers attacked, the imperial court had to deal with it, otherwise if Jingzhao and Fengxiang were lost, there would be endless disasters. The previous time it was tolerated because of the rebellion, and this time it must be sent out to show the majesty of the court. But when mobilizing troops, it should be mainly defended and assisted! After the country recuperates and the court soldiers have enough food, they will ask for it! ”

"In addition, Fengxiang has a secret report from the officials, saying that the privy envoy of Shu State will return to the king, secretly envoy people to carry heavy gifts, and pass on the message and festival to make Hou Yi, I am afraid that it will change!"

As soon as these words fell, Liu Zhiyuan's heart couldn't help twitching, before, he had been very worried about Hou Yi, and said in a thick voice: "I didn't have time to move one of them to the town, but now, it has become a disaster!" ”

"Your Majesty, Hou Yi's mind is unpredictable, if there is a change, then for the imperial court, the situation in Guanzhong is even more taboo, and you need to be cautious." At this time, Dou Zhengu, the servant of the door, who had not spoken, took the initiative to speak.

His eyes swept over the ministers, and Liu Zhiyuan seemed to calm down: "The situation in Guanzhong, the matter of sending troops, think about it in the long run, wait for it, discuss it carefully, and draw up a plan!" ”

"Yes!"

Due to the disturbance of the Shu army, the atmosphere in the hall was much more depressed, even heavier than the previous starvation in the world.

After being silent for a while, Liu Zhiyuan exhaled: "What else is the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty." Inevitably, he looked like a "bastard", and Su Yuqi, who had been unable to interject, opened his mouth to do something.

"What's going on with Su Qing?"

"This year is coming to an end, before His Majesty couldn't bear to forget the Jin, so he continued to use the era name of the Jin ancestor, but in the coming year, it is impossible to reuse the name of the Jin Dynasty......"

"The matter of the year name is left to the secretaries to negotiate!" Hearing what it meant, Liu Zhiyuan commanded directly.

Seeing this, Su Yuqi said directly: "The ministers and the ministers Zhang Zhao, the Taichangqing, and Zhao Shangjiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have drawn up several era names, please make a decision." ”

Seeing that Su Yuqi actually did things ahead, Liu Zhiyuan nodded: "Let's talk about it." ”

"After the ministers and other group discussions, they discussed Qiande, Qianlong, Tianxing, Tiancong, and Tianxi, and unanimously agreed that it is better to take Qiande!" Su Yuqi replied.

"Qiande ......" Liu Zhiyuan muttered a sentence in his mouth, seemingly a little dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Su Yuqi's heart tightened slightly, the name "Qiande", but they discussed it for a long time before they came up with it. If Tao Gu knew about this, he would probably have to secretly ridicule that "Qiande" was the name of Wang Yan, the former lord of Shu. Obviously, Su Yuqi and others didn't know that although it was more than 20 years ago, it can be seen that their generation was "unheard of".

However, Liu Zhiyuan hesitated, not at all, he didn't care about repetition or not, but he had some ideas in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhiyuan said directly: "With Qiande, Mo Ruo is determined to be Qianyou!" ”

"Hello!" As soon as Liu Zhiyuan's voice fell, Su Yuqi suddenly licked: "Your Majesty is the son of destiny, covered with God's blessing, the establishment of the great man, if there is divine help." The minister thinks that "Qianyou" is good. ”

was licked by Su Yuqi, but Liu Zhiyuan's facial expression unconsciously relaxed, but he couldn't laugh.

"What do you think?"

"Very good ......" is just an era name, as long as it means auspicious, there is no need to be too entangled. The courtiers of the Han Dynasty are not "literati" after all, they will not be brainless and serious, and they must negotiate the "best".

The mood is slightly wide, but he can't hide the fatigue of his body, just listening to the politics for a moment, Liu Zhiyuan already feels low energy, only feels that his body seems to be hanging with iron, and he just wants to sink.

And the ministers below, Su Fengji secretly pondered, his left finger pointed on the back of his right hand, his eyes suddenly flashed, his eyes turned around twice, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

"Speak." Liu Zhiyuan, who was about to break up the discussion, frowned slightly and asked.

"The government affairs of Gyeonggi County, the head of Kaifeng Prefecture, but the post of Yin of the Mansion is still vacant, please Your Majesty will determine the candidate as soon as possible and send this position!" Su Fengji said.

"Does Su Qing have a suitable candidate?" Liu Zhiyuan said casually, judging by his attitude, he didn't seem to care very much.

Hearing this, the corners of Su Fengji's mouth hooked, obviously he had an idea, and he replied without thinking: "The minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Zhou can also serve as the governor of the palace!" ”

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly slipped in a sensitive direction, and all the ministers couldn't help but look at Su Fengji, and then cautiously glanced at Liu Zhiyuan.

I saw that Liu Zhiyuan also had a hint of surprise in his expression, staring at Su Fengji deadly, a pair of tiger eyes were particularly fascinating, but he quickly lost that glimmer of divine light.

He didn't say anything for a while, and his fingers tapped on the imperial case, as if he was not very satisfied with Su Fengji's suggestion, and as if he was thinking about something more important.

After a long time, Liu Zhiyuan raised his head, looked down at the ministers in the palace, and asked leisurely: "I am old and have low energy, and I want to establish a prince to share the military and political affairs." Who do you think? ”

Liu Zhiyuan's voice was flat, but when it fell in the ears of the ministers, they all thought about it.

Su Fengji said directly, very positive: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is both virtuous and prosperous, and he can be the prince!" ”

Guo Wei followed: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is resolute and resolute, and he can stand!" ”

Seeing this, Su Yuqi also said: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is benevolent, filial piety and justice, His Majesty's new year name 'Qianyou' is also in line with the name of King Zhou!" ”

Dou Zhengu said: "King Zhou is wise and reasonable......"

Li Tao said: "King Zhou is wise and heroic, and ......"

Wang Zhang glanced at Yang Wei and raised his hand: "His Royal Highness King Zhou is known for his majesty, and he can be the prince!" ”

In fact, the courtiers present all knew that with the current situation, there was no other candidate except Liu Chengyou. If anyone raises objections, they must have ill intentions and different intentions.

Including Yang Wei, too. To say that everyone present, it is Yang Wei who has the most complicated mood. Only he was left, and the ministers and even the emperor around him looked at him, and the clouds on Yang Wei's face seemed to be heavier, and finally, he moved and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, if you have the posture of a stranger, you should be established as the prince." ”

If it were normal times, the courtiers knew that they supported a prince so uniformly, and it is estimated that the emperor's heart would have been full of suspicion. But at this time, seeing that the ministers all proposed Liu Chengyou, Liu Zhiyuan was inexplicably relieved.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Since all the ministers are unanimously optimistic about King Zhou, then this matter is decided, and the canonization ceremony will be held on the first lunar New Moon of the first year of Qianyou!" ”

"Yes!"

The position of the crown prince was decided in this way, suddenly, but without a trace of hindrance. When Liu Chengyou learned the news, there was not much surprise, it was very calm, and there was even a feeling of being bored......

PS: I'm sorry, but the weekends are always busier than usual, and the update is late and short.
