In the Spring and Autumn Period, each kind of death was called differently, the death of the Son of Heaven was called collapse, the death of princes was called Xue, the death of scholars was called pawn, and only the death of civilians was called death. Mobile

The loose plate is a prince, and he died and became a "stinger"

Prince Zhao walked out of the dormitory, and said to Liu Tong and Shi Kai in a low voice, "Jun Shangxue." ”

"The prince's day is mourning, please make plans as soon as possible, tell the Son of Heaven the news of the king's shang, and report the mourning to the nations." Liu Tong listened and suggested to Prince Zhao.

"Oh, I see." Prince Zhao said calmly.

"Please order the prince to preside over all affairs during the king's funeral." Shi Kai took the opportunity to suggest.

Xiangguo presided over all affairs during the monarch's funeral

Brother, you are a naked seizure of power, you know no

Of course, Prince Zhao knew the taste, "Xiangguo will preside over all the affairs during the monarch's funeral, so what should I do" Thinking of this, Prince Zhao couldn't help but look at Shi Kai and didn't answer.

"Please order the prince to preside over all affairs during the king's funeral." Seeing this, Shi Kai reminded again.

This time, Shi Kai's words already had a little more impatience.

"My father has passed away, and I, as the crown prince, should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, and I don't need others to share it for me." Prince Zhao said.

"It stands to reason that this should be the case, but now that the king has just passed away, the prince, as the only son of the king, should be filial piety to the king. During the period of filial piety, state affairs cannot be wasted, and Xiangguo has been in power for many years and has rich experience in governing the country, so he can preside over the state affairs first. Shi Kai continued to advise.

"This" Prince Zhao hesitated, and through Shi Kai's words, he could clearly hear the smell of forcing the palace.

It is said that when a monarch dies, he should first let himself inherit the throne, and then he should preside over the funeral of the previous monarch. But Liu Tong and Shi Kai were good, and never mentioned his succession to the throne, but blindly proposed that Liu Tong should preside over the country's political affairs, and the taste of forcing the palace was already obvious.

"Well, let me think about it."

Ji Zhao knew that although he was the crown prince of the scattered country, his foundation was not deep, and he did not have too many ministers to support him in the country, so he was in trouble in the face of Shi Kai and Liu Tong's forced palace.

Of course, it is a good thing for young people to have enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm must be combined with reality, if it is just blindly reckless, it can only hit a pimple in the end.

Now Prince Zhao clearly felt the pressure from within the scattered country, and this pressure made his thoughts of preparing to clear dissidents after returning to China disappear in an instant.

"Okay" After thinking about it for a while, Prince Zhao said weakly, "With your strategy, Liu Tong will preside over all the affairs of the country during the funeral." However, I also have conditions, that is, you must ensure that I succeed to the throne of Sanguo smoothly. ”

Smoothly inherited the throne of the scattered kingdom

Liu Tong smiled when he heard this, "The prince said something different, as long as you report the news of the king's death to the royal family, the royal family will definitely canonize you as the monarch of the scattered country as soon as possible." This depends on the attitude of the royal family, and the two of us are not capable of deciding the succession of the crown prince. ”

Shirk, you are clearly shirking. Prince Zhao understands that even if the royal family successfully canonizes himself as the monarch of the scattered country, whether they can take charge of the military and political power of the scattered country in the end still needs the support of these two people.

If these two people get in the way, even if he has the name of a king, it is difficult to have the reality of a king.

"I mean, when I become king, I need the support of both of you. Can the two of you agree?" Prince Zhao immediately changed to another tone and said to Liu Tong and Shi Kai.

"That's up to you" Shi Kai was about to open his mouth, Liu Tong stopped him, and said to the crown prince, "The prince's smooth succession to the throne is a major event in the scattered country, and we, as the courtiers of the scattered country, share the worries of the prince and seek benefits for the people of Li, which is within our bounds." ”

Although Liu Tong never said anything, he said everything in his words. The implication is that no matter whether your crown prince Zhao succeeds to the throne smoothly or not, I, Liu Tong and Shi Kai, will be the courtiers of the scattered country, and will continue to serve the prince and devote myself to the scattered country.

"Okay, then it's annoying that Lord Xiangguo will bother to worry about the great funeral of the monarch's father." After that, Prince Zhao walked into the dormitory of the loose plate.

Liu Tong glanced at Shi Kai and said tacitly, "General Duolao is bothered." ”

"Xiangguo rest assured, with my Shi Kai here, Sancheng will be fine." Shi Kai replied.

Liu Tong has been staying in the palace since the accident of the loose plate, and after so many days, he is so tired that he is about to collapse. Although it is very tiring, the old man must continue to persevere, and there are many things to come.

After a short rest, Liu Tong got up to revise the book to the royal family about the death of the monarch of the scattered country, and at the same time asked the royal family to canonize the crown prince Zhao as the new monarch of the scattered country.

In addition, Liu Tong began to draft documents to inform other countries of the news of Sanpan's death, invite people to come to Sanpan's funeral, and so on.

Under the operation of Liu Tong, the funeral of the loose plate was held as scheduled, and many surrounding countries came when they should come, and those who should not come also took the initiative to give up their previous suspicions to participate in the funeral of the loose plate.

Naturally, the Qin people are indispensable among these people, after all, on the surface, the Qin people are still the courtiers of the scattered country, and the monarch dies, can he not come

After attending the funeral of the scattered plates, Yingkai came to Liu Tong's mansion.

Yingkai's arrival made Liu Tong feel very happy, "How could Sima Yingkai think of coming to my house, it's really unexpected, unexpected."

Yingkai arched his hand and said, "Lord Xiangguo also serves as the doctor of Qianyi, in addition to participating in the great funeral of the king, I also have a meaning this time, that is, to report to you the situation of Qianyi." ”

"Sima, don't say that, how dare I dare to take on so many things in Qianyi, it's just a name." Of course, Liu Tong knew his situation at this time, and he was also very modest to say his identity.

"Lord Xiangguo's kindness to my Qin people, Yingkai will never forget, I have always kept your affection in my heart, if he needs help in the future, Yingkai will definitely not hesitate."

If there is a need, the country will be in need

What can I need?

At the moment, Liu Tong can be said to be proud of the spring breeze and in power, what can he do, so Liu Tong said to Yingkai, "According to Lord Sima's meaning, I have already controlled everything in Sancheng, so I guess there will be no worries."

Ying Kai smiled and said, "The current situation of the scattered country is based on the joint efforts of Xiangguo and General Shi Kai. One day, General Shi Kai will no longer join forces with Xiangguo, how will you control the scattered country?"

yes

There is also this possibility

Liu Tong understood the implication of Yingkai's words that if Shi Kai had a stiff relationship with him one day, he would change what to do

As soon as Yingkai's words came out, Liu Tong only felt a chill in his back, "No, the death of the king, Shi Kai is also responsible, if he doesn't join forces with me, Prince Zhao will also execute him Shi Kai." ”。

"Please also remember that Lord Xiangguo is a native of Sanguo, and Lord Xiangguo is an outsider, and there is a difference between inside and outside." Then Ying Kai bowed his hand to Liu Tong and said, "Before Ren Ji left, I explained to him, and asked Xiangguo to find him at the critical moment, maybe it will help you." ”

After that, Yingkai said goodbye to Liu Tong and returned to Qianyi.
