Chapter 642: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne (2)
There are many suspicions, especially when He Jin said that he wanted to support the eldest prince Liu Wei as the Son of Heaven, and the Deyang Palace became even more silent, no one spoke out to support it, and no one showed up to refuse.
In fact, from where He Jin appeared, everyone knew that the Son of Heaven was undoubtedly gone, although most of the ministers in the palace supported the establishment of the Son of Heaven, but there were too many doubts in it, when did the Son of Heaven die? And before his death, did the Son of Heaven make an edict to draw up a new Son of Heaven? These are still unknowns, or rather, this has been a coup d'Γ©tat from beginning to end, a struggle for power.
He Jin's statement is not so much to let the ministers stand in line to express their stance as it is his temptation, otherwise he will not lead the troops straight into the Deyang Palace, at this time he is not concerned about the ministers in the palace who support the eldest prince Liu Wei, but who is against it, so at this time there is silence in the Deyang Palace, no one speaks, and not expressing his position at this time is silent support, of course, there are some people who are out of the consideration of self-preservation, such as Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and others, at this time to oppose, the result is nothing more than a dead word, rather than so, it is better not to speak, does not approve or oppose, as long as they avoid this murderous disaster, relying on the queen mother and their strength in the palace, there may not be no chance of turning defeat into victory.
Zhang Rang is convinced of this, and most of the ministers in the palace are also this idea, you must know that the palace is all the scholars and eunuchs, and the relatives are all with He Jin, and the rest of the eunuch party is Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong's horse is the first to look forward, the two do not express their position, they naturally dare not speak out, and the scholar of the lineage, after two party baptisms, the really honest and backbone ministers or far away from the center or degraded or killed, the rest can stay in the temple, not so much that they do not form a party, but that they know more about the truth of self-preservation. Now this matter of establishing a reserve has been completed. It has little to do with them, and I can't get a moment of credit. Once He Jin fails, it will be a major event that will affect the nine clans, and then it will be too late to regret it.
He Jin is now in the hands of real power, so why is it a failure?
In fact, it is precisely because of the power that the officials should be more careful?
Why?
threatens the position of the Son of Heaven.
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Liang Ji during the time of Emperor Heng, Dou Wu during the period of Tiantianzi (Emperor Ling). Which one has a good end, in the same way, the teacher of the past and the future, there will be all the silent scenes in the Deyang Palace, and in this silence, He Jin, who is dressed in a vegetarian body, spoke again, like Hong Zhong, and said loudly: "Respectfully invite the eldest prince to enter the palace and succeed to the throne!" β
The shouts of respectfully inviting the eldest prince to enter the palace and succeed to the throne were conveyed layer by layer, and soon a chariot full of phoenix patterns and four horses appeared in the square in front of the Deyang Palace. Subsequently, Zhu Liner, Qinggai, and Jinhua Dae's Wang Qinggai car followed.
The two cars stopped in front of the Deyang Hall one after another. A dignified woman in court clothes stepped down from the first car, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy stepped down from the second Wang Qinggai car.
In the Han Dynasty, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whether to ride or not marks the status and dignity of a person, and what kind of car to take. The number of guides and riders is a symbol of the size of the passenger's official position. After all, in the Han Dynasty, the only people who could take the four-horse car and Wang Qing covered the car were the queen and the crown prince and the prince, of course, as long as it was not a pig, it would not be guessed that the person who came was the queen mother and the second prince, after all, He Jin had clearly said that the prince of Xuanda would go to the palace to succeed to the throne.
The first person to get off the car is a court dress, the queen of Fengyi, can also be said to be the queen mother, and then the person who got off the car is the eldest prince, who has changed into the court clothes of the Son of Heaven, with a jade crown of twelve (that is, twelve rows) on his head, mainly black, with a hole on each side, used to intersperse the jade flute, to tie it with the bun, and tie the ribbon on both sides of the flute, and tie the knot under the chin. On each ear of the ribbon, there is also a pearl and jade, called 'Yun'er', which is not stuffed into the ear, but is tied next to the ear to remind the wearer not to listen to slander.
He wears a black tunic painted with a coat of arms, a vermilion bottom, which is also known as a crown robe, in addition to knee coverings, scarves, and red necks. However, since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng first adopted the yellow dragon robe, and then for a long time to yellow as the most noble, symbolizing the center, therefore, Liu Wei at this time wore a yellow crown dress, it can be said that the dragon robe is yellow This trend originated from Liu Heng, and was used until the Ming and Qing dynasties after being continued and continuously improved.
The ministers were extremely stunned, and Liu Wei who appeared at this time was not only wearing a mourning dress but a court dress, but also a crown dress of the Son of Heaven, which made many ministers resentful, and they began to suspect that the Son of Heaven had already died, otherwise Liu Bian's court clothes would never have been made in a few hours.
And Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and the others, at this time, are undoubtedly deeply afraid and anxious, they know better than anyone how long the Son of Heaven will die, and Liu Wei is now wearing a ready-made Son of Heaven court clothes, it can only be said that it was prepared early in the morning, prepared in the morning, what a great rebellion this is? If the Son of Heaven is alive, wouldn't it be ......
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang didn't dare to think about it, because from another point of view, when the Son of Heaven arranged to deal with He Jin, He Jin may have been preparing for the new Son of Heaven to ascend the throne, and judging from the results, He Jin's arrangement was undoubtedly better. It's a pity that He Jin is too anxious to establish the position of the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately, there is no one in the court who can compete with He Jin, otherwise there will be enough reason to question his succession to the throne because Liu argues that he is not filial piety.
But there is another possibility, this is a temptation of He Jin, and with He Jin's current power, it is not impossible to say that the first monarch is on the throne and then the abbot is appointed and dismissed by the new Son of Heaven for funeral, after all, the Qin and Han dynasties mourn, especially in the three years after the Guangwu Dynasty mourning has become a common practice in society, so the royal funeral and the common people in general, that is, the so-called three years of filial piety, to live in the thatched hut next to the tomb after the funeral, not to drink and eat meat, not to approach women, not to have fun, not to hire wives, not to visit friends. But according to the custom, the Son of Heaven does not have to go to the cemetery to mourn but the rest of the matters are done, but Liu Wei is not familiar at this time, which inevitably makes the ministers feel a little awkward, of course, this is in the eyes of the eunuchs of the scholar clan, on the side of the relatives, the ministers unanimously demand the throne first.
Therefore, at this time, there will be silence in the Deyang Palace, which is undoubtedly a rather embarrassing scene at this moment, the new son of heaven entered the palace, and there was no response, which was sad He Jin, who was holding his head high and expanding his chest, squinted his eyes and looked at his henchman Yuan Shao, who immediately understood and stepped forward.
Yuan Shao appeared at the bottom of the stairs, whether it was prestige or position, it was not the most important in the court, far from being worshiped by He Jin as the captain of the Si Li School and then called Yuan Crouching Tiger by the hundred officials, but after all, he was the descendant of the Yuan family of the fourth and fifth princes of Runan, especially at this time Yuan Kui was outside, Yuan Feng's son Yuan Shu suppressed the remnants of the Shuo, in the Deyang Palace, Yuan Shao almost became the spokesperson of the Yuan family, as soon as he appeared, he saluted and shouted: "Congratulations to the new monarch on his succession, my emperor for ten thousand years!! β
This role model changed the situation in the court almost instantly.
And with his earth-shattering sound, more and more civil and military officials joined the team of supporting the monarch to succeed to the throne, until this moment, He Jin, who had been coldly scanning the courtiers, turned around, put away his sword and returned it to the sheath, bent down to salute, and congratulated the new son of heaven on his accession to the throne.
watched Liu Wei ascend to the throne step by step, and it was not until the moment the dust settled that He Jin's heart that had been hanging was finally let go.
He Jin wanted to laugh, he was too depressed, months of suffering were going to crush him, at this moment he even wanted to laugh out loud impulsively, but he couldn't, there were still too many difficulties and obstacles in the future, but he would overcome all the obstacles and overcome the obstacles.
New temple.
A new world.
Promising.
He Jin is convinced! (To be continued......)
