Chapter 8 The Grand Ceremony
Not to mention that Ma Yun accompanied his wives and concubines to beg, and then looked at Changsha City. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
The king of Chu ordered Ma Guangliang to worship his ancestors instead, and two days later, he came to the main hall of the palace of Chu with the support of Huang Hao. He sat down on the throne weakly and accepted the courtiers' visits. The ministers knelt on the ground, waiting for the day, and then waited for Huang Hao's sentence of "flat". When they got up from the ground one by one and peeked at the king of Chu on the throne, they found that the king of Chu seemed to be very sick, his face was pale, his eyes were slightly closed, he was holding the armrest of the throne with one hand, and his whole body was leaning on the throne.
Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, is completely different from the previous two kings of Chu, King Wumu was born in a travel, he is bold and magnificent, he sits on the throne and behaves calmly, and there is a faint domineering release; Ma Xi, the king of Hengyang, is frolicking and impermanent, sitting without a sitting statue, and the whole person is dangling on the throne, as if sitting on pins and needles; And the current Chu King Ma Xifan is very different, this person has been well-educated since childhood, in public places such as the Great Dynasty Ceremony, he has always been unsmiling, majestic and natural, every time he sits steadily, and does not shake it, it seems that this is the right way to deal with things.
Seeing King Chu sitting like this today, he must be not lightly ill. Many ministers have a heavy heart in their hearts, and they don't know where this Dachu will go in the future. If the king of Chu is in good health and is now in the world, and the royal brothers who hold heavy troops outside are slowly reduced, then the succession of the throne must be smooth; But if the king of Chu dies suddenly, then the fifth prince of Jingnan, the fourth master of Langzhou, and even the ninth master of Guizhou in Lingnan...... With these people, it will be difficult for this throne to sit firmly. The ministers who thought that the king of Chu wanted to pass on the throne to Ma Guangliang secretly beat the drum in their hearts, and hesitated repeatedly, not knowing whether the matter of worshipping their ancestors was because the king of Chu was seriously ill and had to let the royal brother replace him, or whether the king of Chu had already made up his mind and wanted to shine for the world immediately.
There are also some well-informed ministers, who can't figure it out in their hearts, the day before yesterday, I obviously heard that the king of Chu only occasionally felt cold, how could he be so sick after a day.
Ma Xiguang, the general of Tiance Zuo, glanced at the King of Chu suspiciously, and was about to come out to ask.
But when he saw the figure in front of him, someone was already out of the ranks, knelt down and said, "The king, the minister has a play." Ma Xiguang glanced at it, and his heart was happy, it turned out to be Tuoba Heng, the old and young. This guy has always had an expression of owe me a beating that everyone in the world owes me, and often points directly at the king of Chu, persuading the Chu State not to do this, not to do that. The king of Chu didn't treat him very well, until Ma Yun broke Nanping, and the king of Chu treated him a little better. These days, I don't see any advice from this Tuoba adult, and I thought he had changed his sex, who knew that this guy was not a change of sex, but he felt that a small fight was not enjoyable, and he wanted to find a special court meeting when a hundred officials met him, and suddenly played.
The king of Chu is a reader, that is, he has been an envoy to the Central Plains, and he has also been an envoy of the Jingjiang army, and he has experienced a lot of things, so the amount of people he can tolerate is greater, and he is not a fool. Just like ordinary people, sometimes they feel that they have too many shortcomings, and if they have such shortcomings and such faults, they can know and they will be able to correct them, then they are completely different things. What Tuoba Heng played, the king of Chu sometimes felt that it made sense, but he just didn't want to change it, or rather, he wanted to wait for him to die, and the next king of Chu would come to change the historical record, and before his death, Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, summoned Tuoba Heng and ordered him to assist the next king of Chu, and also drove away Li Gao and others who knew nothing. For example, Dansha, the King of Chu also knows that mining Dansha ore is useless and useless, but he just doesn't change it, the reason is very simple, because the King of Chu likes red, he just likes to paint the palace vermilion.
It's okay to do it once or twice, but Tuoba Heng is not interested, he always picks and chooses, either to say that this is wrong, or that it is not good. After a long time, Ma Xifan naturally became popular, so he ordered that Tuoba Heng was not allowed to enter the palace. It wasn't until Ma Yun made a great contribution that Ma Xifan recited the education of Tuoba Heng in his heart, and he was exempted from this article.
Tuoba Heng was rarely honest for two months, and he actually jumped out again.
King Chu's face was a little ugly, and his heart was a little angry, but he was pretending to be sick now, so he couldn't say anything, he just glanced at Huang Hao with his eyes, Huang Hao understood, and said loudly: "Something is going on." β
"King, Weichen wants to impeach Huang Hao." Tuoba Heng said categorically.
Since Tuoba Heng came out of the ranks, the ministers began to listen to him in a daze. The reason is very simple, now the king of Chu ordered Ma Guangliang to worship his ancestors, and he also heard that the king of Chu has privately promised to be presided over by Ma Guangliang to rectify the internal army, and now Ma Guangliang is in the limelight. As the master of another candidate for the succession to the throne, Tuoba Heng would be strange if he didn't reflect at all. In the hearts of the ministers, Li Gao and Xu Zhongya are the standard Ma Guangliang Party, and Tuoba Heng is the standard Ma Guangyun Party. Ma Guangliang is popular, Ma Yun has military merits, although Tuoba Heng is not treated by the King of Chu, but after so many years, although Tuoba Heng is a little sideline, he has always stayed at the top of the power of Great Chu. Li Gao and Xu Zhongya are brilliant and gorgeous, but Tuoba Heng is honest and famous.
Now the battle for the heir is a bit of a dagger. No matter from that aspect, Tuoba Heng is bound to come forward. It's just that everyone didn't expect that Tuoba Heng actually operated on the big eunuch in the palace, isn't this too unwise?
King Chu was also a little surprised, he was ready to be scolded in his heart. The king of Chu also thought that Tuoba Heng couldn't open his eyes to any policy, or that local official was caught by him on the sick foot. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Heng actually impeached a eunuch.
Huang Hao was taken aback and a little panicked. He's a good law-abiding citizen. Although there are eunuchs in this Great Chu, he is a eunuch who cannot be compared with Gao Lishi and Li Fuguo in the Tang Dynasty, to put it bluntly, he is the chief steward of the Chu Palace. Since the death of Wumu Wang Xian, the state of Chu has come with the etiquette of the feudal town, and the facilities such as the state minister are all gone, leaving a Tiance bachelor's mansion to manage civil affairs; A Tiance general's government is in charge of the military. Whether it is Li Gao or Tuoba Heng, they are all shrewd like ghosts, which is his turn to be autocratic. In addition, the king of Chu is in good spirits, and he often summons his ministers to drink and chat, talk about poetry and painting, he just wants to have a chance to be autocratic.
But seeing Tuoba Heng said unhurriedly: "The old minister impeached Huang Hao and plotted against him, this person said yesterday that the king only occasionally felt cold, but his body was already healthy. But today's minister looked at the king's complexion, but it was a little more serious than what he said. Isn't he spreading rumors and blocking the inside and outside of the palace? The ministers were suspicious, rumors spread, and the ministers thought that they should be severely punished. β
Huang Hao was wronged to death in his heart, and what he said was originally the truth. This King of Chu didn't have any serious illness in the first place, he was completely pretending to be sick.
Li Gao smiled coldly and said unhurriedly: "May I ask Lord Tuoba, this group of ministers is suspicious, and rumors are spreading, what's going on?" Why haven't I heard of it? β
"Lord Li has always been diligent in the palace, and in the affairs of the local state capital, Lord Li naturally has no time to take care of it. You don't know, that's normal. For this opponent who has earned a lifetime with himself, Tuoba Heng unceremoniously pushed back.
Li Gao snorted heavily, not knowing what to say for a while.
Xu Zhongya next to him said with a smile: "Lord Tuoba is filtered, Lord Li has already asked the divine doctor Dr. Wang, Dr. Wang said that the king does feel the wind and cold, and the evil wind enters the body, as the saying goes, the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, the king's condition has not yet recovered, and his complexion is worse, which is normal." But the king's illness has not recovered, and he is forced to participate in the great court ceremony, thinking about national affairs and people's livelihood, but Lord Tuoba is alarmist at this time, but he doesn't know what it is? β
Xu Zhongya's words were very standard, and his fluttering words showed that Li Gao was loyal and worked tirelessly, and explained it to Huang Hao, and also said that he cared about the king of Chu, and even praised the king of Chu.
Tuoba Heng is a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he is not afraid of biting if there are many lice, he smiled indifferently and said: "Doctor Wang is a miracle doctor in the country, since he said that the king is healthy, then it is naturally fine." The king has not yet recovered, so he cares so much about the affairs of the country, and the old minister really feels a lot of emotion in his heart and feels guilty. As he spoke, he also kowtowed three times, and continued: "The king has the high hopes of millions of people in Dachu, and the ministers ask the king to rest more. β
Tuoba Heng's words almost didn't crook Li Gao's nose, this was what he wanted to say, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Tuoba Heng.
King Chu blinked, this is not right. This Tuoba Heng is singing the play today, this is not his style in the past at all.
But Tuoba Heng continued: "The king's martial arts are famous all over the world. As soon as the poetry collection came out, it was expensive Luoyang paper when it was listed. And I'm thriving. In the chaos of the world, my Da Chu seems to be a paradise in the eyes of the world, which is all the work of the king's diligence. The minister originally wanted to play the king, gather the Confucian scholars of the king of Chu, talk about the way of governing the country in Yuelu Mountain, explore the subtle words and meanings in the scriptures, prove the present with the past, and take history as a mirror...... "The military generals have no response, and the ministers have begun to turn their heads and ears, and it seems that they are very interested in this suggestion.
Ma Xifan is a literati, he heard this, he was a little impatient at the time, and before Tuoba Heng finished speaking, he interjected: "What Aiqing said is even, this is really a good thing......" Before he could speak, he saw that the ministers were all stunned and looked at him, the king of Chu was full of anger in this sentence, how could he look sick......
Ma Xifan was excited for a while, and he stopped his mouth, and pretended to be weak again.
Tuoba Heng was overjoyed in his heart and continued: "But, Fifth Prince, I heard that the king was seriously ill, and I was very worried in my heart. Last night, he wrote a chapter, and asked the minister to say on his behalf, the five princes, he was ready to preside over such a Confucian ceremony in Jiangling, one to pray for the king, and the other to congratulate the king on his peace, and he also respectfully asked the king to appreciate the poem inscription. If the king is Antai, then it will naturally be presided over by the king, but at present, the king is occasionally cold, and it is not easy to work, so it is better to approve the performance of the five princes. I don't know what the king wants? β
