Chapter 342: New Year's Party
Hearing his father's words, Liu Rongdang even knelt on the ground and bowed: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the revenge of the ninth generation of the Duke of Qi Xiang can still be avenged, and the sons will definitely keep this in mind, and one day, they will definitely snow the hatred of my Han family!" βγ
The emperors of the early Han Dynasty hated the Huns in words.
Since the siege of Emperor Liu Bang Baideng, the Han family began to marry the daughter of the clan to the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Even since ancient times, the Chinese nation has never had a precedent for marrying a princess to a Yidi chieftain.
It is still the Han family that has set such a precedent, nothing is the best thing to do, and this is the case with relatives.
In the face of the Huns, the rulers of the Han family almost showed their greatest endurance.
Even Empress Lu, who has always had a bad temper and was very irritable, couldn't help but get angry, but what Sima Qian was saying was still relatively subtle, only saying that he was talking nonsense, but he didn't say how he said it.
Regarding this period of history, Ban Gu recorded in detail the contents of a letter written by the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan to Empress LΓΌ.
In the text, it said: filial piety, high queen, Mao Dun immersed in arrogance, is a book, so that the envoy Gao said: "The lonely king, born in frustration, grew up in the plain cattle and horses, counted to the border, willing to travel to China." His Majesty is independent and lives alone. The two masters are unhappy and have nothing to worry about, and they are willing to give everything they have, and they will give it what they don't have."
And Empress LΓΌ really did not be furious with the thunder as she imagined, and vowed to kill the Huns.
After Fan Xu learned about this, he was going to lead his troops north to fight the Xiongnu when he even entered the Yan LΓΌ.
Empress Lu stopped Fan Xu, and then sent a letter back to Morton Shan Yu.
Empress Lu's reply to Mao Dun Shan Yu was written like this: "Shan Yu does not forget the disadvantages, gives him a book, and the disadvantages are afraid." Retreat to self-esteem, old age, depraved teeth, out-of-pace, merely listening, not enough to defile yourself. The innocence of the evil is intended to be forgiven. There are two royal cars and two horses, so as to drive them regularly".
Although Empress Lu was brutal, he was still very politically wise. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to control the government in the years after Emperor Hui's death, and he was not pushed down by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others.
The "copies" of these letters are restored to the original and are preserved in the Tianlu Pavilion of the Han Imperial Palace.
When Liu Rong went to Tianlu Pavilion, he naturally saw these two letters, and he had opened them to read them.
Of course, as early as the modern era, Liu Rong had seen the dialogue content of these two letters, and at that time, Liu Rong felt that it was a little shameful for the Han Dynasty.
But at this moment, it is different, Liu Rong is already in it, the Han family, which was established by his great-grandfather Emperor Gao Liu Rong.
And in the future, it will be inherited by him.
Because of this, Liu Rong's heart was naturally angry.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, finished saying this, he immediately coughed violently.
Seeing his father like this, Liu Rong hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support his father.
Hurriedly said to the king on the side: "The prince is going to call the imperial doctor's order!" βγ
In response to such a thing, Wang Yan naturally will not be like the attendants and eunuchs in the palace, and he will be in a mess.
Without waiting for Liu Rong to finish speaking, he had already hurried out of the hall.
In the past few months, those who have diagnosed and treated Liu Qi, the son of heaven, are all pure and careful.
In order not to delay the effort, Chun Yuyi simply stayed in the Weiyang Palace from time to time.
Fixed, not long after, Wang Yan led Chun Yuyi into the Qilin Hall quickly.
Seeing that Chun Yuyi was coming, Liu Rong hurriedly said: "Please ask the imperial doctor to quickly diagnose and treat my father."
And Chun Yuyi did not reply to Liu Rong's words, even if he came to the front of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, for his pulse.
After a while, Chun Yuyi took out a few herbs from the medicine bag on the side and ordered the attendant to go and decoct the medicine.
After taking the decoction, Liu Qi's cough was eased a little, and then he lay on the bed, wheezing.
Seeing his father like this, Liu Rong frowned tightly, and said a salute to Chun Yuyi: "Duke Taicang, how is my father at this time?" βγ
Chun Yuyi also sighed, and sighed: "Your Majesty's illness is a stubborn disease, and when you are a good person to rest and recuperate, you must not be angry, and it must be caused by anger at this time."
After that, Mrs. Dou and Queen Bo heard the news and rushed here.
As soon as she entered the palace, what Mrs. Dou said was not what the condition of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was, but said to Liu Rongyan: "At this time, in the Xuanshu Palace, many courtiers and foreign vassal countries are still there, and the emperor is afraid that he can't go, so you will go on behalf of the Son of Heaven, prince!" β
γ
To preside over the New Year's party on behalf of my father, of course, this is with my father's personal consent, but now, my father is still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and muttering.
If you make the courtiers and ministers wait too long, it is indeed not good.
And there are so many kings and envoys of vassal countries, and there is an envoy of the Huns who wants to blackmail the Han Dynasty at every turn in the palace.
Solidly, my father was sick at this time, so he naturally wanted to do it for him, the prince. If someone with a heart notices something unusual, something may happen............
As the crown prince, he naturally can't be without responsibility, and the last time he expressed his reluctance to supervise the country on behalf of his father, at that time, because his father was still very sober, of course, he wanted to show that he was not really eager to govern on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
At this time, the father was already speechless, and even saluted to the Empress Dowager Dou and said, "Grandson obeys."
When he had finished speaking, he went out of the temple.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the main hall of the Xuan Room, after Liu Rong left, it took a long time for hundreds of officials to turn their heads and ears.
I only heard one person muttering in a low voice: "Today's New Year's Day, why don't you see Your Majesty coming?" βγ
"I want to come to Your Majesty's body is still ..................."
Before this person finished speaking, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu got up and marched to the palace, and scolded: "Your Majesty has not arrived, all the ministers are quiet, and if there are any more false words, this prime minister will make a statement to the Son of Heaven and remove whom's official position!! βγ
The prime minister in the early Han Dynasty had the right to participate in the appointment and dismissal of officials, and a considerable number of officials were nominated by the prime minister, and then the Son of Heaven accepted his fate.
Among them, there are also some high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stones.
If the prime minister makes a statement to the Son of Heaven, who is no longer suitable to stay in this position, the Son of Heaven will not refute it under normal circumstances.
If the Son of Heaven speaks against the prime minister, then the prime minister has no meaning in the future.
Since the founding of the Han family, there have rarely been such things, and only when today's son succeeded to the throne, the old prime minister Shen Tujia said to Liu Qijin, the son of heaven, that the current imperial historian Chao mistakenly demolished the outer wall of the high temple without permission, and was scolded by Liu Qi, the son of heaven.
Since then, Shen Tujia has already had the idea of wanting to resign from the phase.
And today's Prime Minister Zhou Yafu is different from Shen Tujia. Although he was a lord, he inherited the position of Zhou Bo's marquis.
But Zhou Yafu has real military merits, and the military merits made by quelling the Wu Chu rebellion are not much more than Zhou Bo's coup d'Γ©tat, annihilating the entire Lu family, and stabilizing the Liu family.
And everyone knows that Zhou Yafu is still a big celebrity in front of His Majesty at this time, but he is not the one who picked the general among Emperor Wen's lame people back then, and Shentu Jia, who was barely picked out after a long time.
Sure enough, after Zhou Yafu said this, the Xuanshu Hall immediately fell silent.
Not long after, Liu Rong arrived in the main hall.
It seems that the courtiers still thought that the Son of Heaven would come in person, but they didn't want to, or the prince came.
And the courtiers, of course, are not stupid, although the person who came is the prince, but they also salute and say: Meet the prince.
"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy."
After speaking, Liu Rong knelt on the side of the seat that only belonged to the Son of Heaven.
After that, he accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, princes and kings, and the kings of vassal countries on behalf of the father.
Liu Rong really doesn't know many of these people.
One by one, they came up and saluted Liu Rong to congratulate, and of course Liu Rong had to say something.
It's just that there are so many people, Liu Rong doesn't even know what his name is.
Of course, you can't let people stand beside the prince and say to the prince, who is this, and who is that.
The person who did things for your old Liu family has now come to the palace to worship, and the prince of your old Liu family doesn't even know who I am for a long time, which is too much to say.
Fortunately, Chao Cuo and the others thought in advance that something like this might happen.
The order in which the courtiers and even the kings of the vassal states congratulated the Son of Heaven was determined by etiquette.
The order of this is already known.
Just when Liu Rong was kneeling in the hall, an attendant officer put a chapter of paper in front of Liu Rong, on which was densely packed with information such as names, official positions, and his family.
Even if Liu Rongdang understood, this was a cheat sheet, so that when he accepted the congratulations on behalf of his father, he didn't know the person in front of him, so he wouldn't be embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
In this way, Liu Rong knelt down in the banquet like a piece of wood, and accepted everyone's congratulations one by one.
It took more than an hour just to complete this step.
Liu Rong felt more and more that there were indeed some unsatisfactory places in this sitting on the Son of Heaven.
Just like this Chaohe, he has to sit for more than an hour, and he can't move, and he can't, showing some impatience.
Everyone is here to work for you, you can smile at others, why do you just show impatience with me.
This inevitably broke the hearts of the courtiers.
However, this more than an hour has finally passed, and Liu Rong is about to say something.
But he heard a long voice from the speaker outside the hall say, "Your Majesty - here."
Dad finally woke up, and Liu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
This is such an important New Year's court, even if it is announced that the world is sick, and the crown prince will temporarily replace it.
The Son of Heaven still has to show his face.
It's just that this time the father entered the Xuan room, not as usual, surrounded by a group of attendants and maids, but came with the support of the prince.
Before walking to the seat, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, turned around and said: "Recently, I have been unwell, and the prince has been in charge of the government on my behalf, and the prince has also worked hard."
When the father said this, Liu Rong immediately knelt down and said: "The affairs of the sons and daughters who preside over the government all rely on the sage of their father, and the help of hundreds of officials, the sons and daughters have no achievements, and they ask their fathers to forgive their sins."
The princes all knelt down, and the courtiers naturally quickly knelt down and said, "The ministers will meet Your Majesty and hope that Your Majesty will be healthy."
Liu Rong didn't expect that his father had recovered a lot after just over an hour.
The whole person seems to be just a little weak.
And when the court is over, the court meeting is coming to an end.
After Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said a few words, this court meeting was over.
All the ministers left, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "The prince is not bad."
"Thank you for your father's compliment".
Dad held on twice today, once to see the Hun envoy, and once to come to the Xuanshu Palace.
Then Liu Rong said: "Father's body is ............."
"The prince doesn't have to worry too much about me, when I am angry, I will be in a hurry, and there is no major matter at this time."
Although Dad said so, Liu Rong didn't think so in his heart.
It is unlikely that the Han Dynasty will have any special medicine, and it will be effective in more than an hour............
Looking at his father's unusually pale face, Liu Rong had no choice but to say: "Father is fine, then it's good to ......."
