Chapter 643: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne (3)
The civil and military officials in the Deyang Hall are divided into two rows of mountains to shout long live, supporting the new monarch to succeed the Son of Heaven.
At this moment, the happiest and happiest person is undoubtedly the general He Jin, but there is no trace of joy on the surface, and he always maintains a solemn sù on his face like a sculpture, but no matter how he hides his inner thoughts, a fact that cannot be ignored is that he supported Liu Wei to succeed to the throne as the son of heaven as he wished, and even more through a series of struggles to defeat Jian Shuo almost became the first person in power to lean towards the government and the opposition, of course, there are some unstable factors, that is, the eunuch party in the period of self-rush and quality, this force should not be underestimated, In the eyes of the staff and confidants of the General's Palace, the existence of these people still deeply affects the current situation, and even the overall situation may be turbulent again.
It is better to prevent trouble before it happens, or to stifle the signs of danger, taking advantage of the new monarch's succession to the throne, the eunuch party will be led by the ten permanent servants to cut the grass and eradicate the root cause of the future is the truest portrayal of the people in the palace, but at this moment, many people, such as Yuan Shao, did not ask for his life, this is human nature, this is also the human heart, at this moment, people are more concerned about the new monarch Shun lì ascended the throne and what is the future of the new monarch after succeeding to the throne.
The so-called Son of Heaven and a courtier, what kind of reward the Son of Heaven will give is the most important, and compared to the opponent, you can wait for a while to deal with it, after all, the overall situation is in control, compared to crushing Zhong Juan like an ant, how the Son of Heaven will reward them can't wait for a moment, can't wait.
But there is a fact that cannot be ignored is that the Son of Heaven is still young and cannot govern yet, and every reward comes from the mouth of the Queen Mother, but who dares to open this mouth rashly? No one is stupid enough to touch the queen mother's low at the time of the death of the first emperor, and if he is not careful, he may have to fall to the ground. Yes. Some people pinned their hopes on He Jin, and He Jin did 'stand up' at this critical moment. Striding down the imperial stairs and bowing deeply. It was like a bull's ear among the ministers and said loudly: "Please ask the Son of Heaven to announce the decree of the new dynasty to appease the subjects." ”
Some unexpected, but also reasonable, although some people will have some bad feelings in their hearts, rushing to kill when they are desperate, and He Jin hesitates when they are rewarding their merits, how can this not make some people feel a little unhappy in their hearts, but even if they keep reminding or even hinting in their hearts that they should focus on the overall situation at this time, human nature dictates it. In my heart, I have more or less some complaints about He Jin.
And sitting on the top, the new Tianzi Liu Bian, who was still very childish like a porcelain doll, was frightened by his uncle's voice and became more and more frightened and cramped, but although he was young, he also understood what he was doing now, but no matter how he endured his nervousness and made himself appear calm, he was still a child after all, even if he obeyed his mother's words to pretend to be embarrassed for him, his body trembled unnaturally, and his eyes were zigzag. The fair-skinned little face became even more iron-blue.
The small mouth opened, wanting to show the kingly style in the mouth of the queen mother, and he seemed calm and unhurried in front of the ministers, but the more he wanted to express xiàn in front of the queen mother, the more he couldn't say a word. Empress Dowager He, who was so anxious that the bead curtain was like an ant on a hot pot, whispering and constantly reminding the Son of Heaven, but this did not play any role at all. On the contrary, it backfired, making Liu Wei even more afraid. I was afraid that I would be reprimanded by the queen mother again, so I was in a hurry. Empress Dowager He was in a hurry and came up with a good way to teach Liu Wei word by word.
At this moment, the Son of Heaven became a puppet in the hands of Empress Dowager He.
It's just that Liu Bian, who sat on the seat of the Son of Heaven for the first time, couldn't even make a puppet, and in the face of the double pressure of hundreds of ministers and the queen mother, the young son of heaven was in a cramped panic and even had difficulty reciting his mother's words aloud, and the ministers only clearly heard the sentence 'Three years without changing his father's way', as for the latter words, Liu Biao was lower than a sentence, and in the end, he could only see his mouth moving, like a pantomime, no one knew what he was talking about and what he wanted to express.
The ministers naturally want to tolerate the Son of Heaven as much as they do, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is still young now, and it is already very good to have such a table, and after a few years of continuous learning and accumulation, everyone believes that he will become an excellent and qualified king, and, although the voice of the Son of Heaven is too low to know what he is talking about, but the sentence 'three years without changing the way of the father' still makes the monarchs and ministers completely reassured, and the truth is as they thought, but it is said by the Empress Dowager He, who is angry and angry, and finally can't sit still.
After the bead curtain, the tone of the Empress Dowager He, who still has the charm, was not cramped and flustered at all, although the ministers could not see the change in his expression at this moment, but it could be judged from his tone that this queen mother, this woman, was far more calm than imagined, and the silent Deyang Hall suddenly sounded from behind the bead curtain, raising the sound of three points like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate: "Ministers, the Son of Heaven died suddenly, and the eldest son of the emperor inherited the mandate of heaven and succeeded the Son of Heaven. The first thing that the mourning family wants to inform all the ministers here is that the official positions of the ministers in the court remain unchanged, and the national government is still controlled by the three dukes and the generals. ”
He Hou's series of crisp sounds such as pipa Zheng Zheng sounded in the silent Deyang Hall at this time, like a spring thunder on the ground, not to mention the ministers, even He Jin didn't expect it and couldn't believe that it would be his own sister who said such decent and generous words, and the ministers bent down a little bit with their natural and unnatural waists, and they were not as unscrupulous as before to look at the throne, as if they were really a little impressed by the woman behind the scenes.
Immediately afterwards, He Hou behind the bead curtain opened his mouth again: "Second, Zhongjuan Jianshuo rebelled, and the general He Jin led the troops to quell the rebellion. ”
What Hou said before and after seems to be self-contradictory, but in fact it is not, which of the ministers and workers present do not understand the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier, is to He Hou's first words are the heart of An Baiguan, and the second words are to tell the ministers, important departments will reward and appoint confidants and important ministers to serve, this big stick and a jujube down, not only let the meritorious personnel feel at ease but also let some low-level ministers feel relieved, as for the officials in important positions, in fact, it is to change the three dukes, Sili Captain, Taichang, Guangluxun, Wei Wei and Zhi Jinwu such a big man, Even if anyone dares to bully this pair of orphans and widows while the first emperor is dead, they will not be able to make big waves under this statement.
I have to say that the voice of the new queen mother is really amazing, and she directly suppressed these ministers in the palace, and He Jin, who took over the civil and military affairs, was even more completely powerful for a while, although He Jin is a relative and is the spokesperson of He Hou in the court, but in this matter, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong saw hope, the emperor has a heart, killing people with sticks and killings, and the two of them can't see what He Hou means for the time being, but they can understand by looking at He Jin, Before, he was arrogant and showed off his might in front of the ministers, but now he was submissive in front of He Hou, and he completely lost his previous momentum, if he was a scholar family, even if his vanity swelled again, he would eventually have to pay attention to a monarch and ministers, father and son, but like He Jin, who was born in the market (grassroots), his ambition is the easiest to swell after mastering power, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong feel that the opportunity has come again, even if they can't ensure that the second prince Liu Xie ascends the throne, they can retreat to the next best, and they can still enjoy the glory and wealth.
At the moment when the courtiers were pregnant with ghosts, He Hou issued a third edict, that is, the general, Situ Dinggong and Sikong Liu Hong presided over the funeral of the first son Liu Hong.
At this moment, the real long breath is undoubtedly Situ Ding Gong and Sikong Liu Hong, this appointment and dismissal is tantamount to a disguised confession of the position of the two and the three dukes will not move them, you two can rest assured to assist the general to preside over the state funeral, do not have to worry about whether the official position will be dismissed.
One family is happy and one is sad, presumably the two of them, at this moment, before they arrived in Beijing to take up their new duties, Liu Yu, who didn't even know where the Taiwei Mansion was opened, had to pat his ass and go back to Jixian County to sit firmly in his Youzhou Mu, but with Gongsun Zan here, he couldn't be very comfortable with this Youzhou Mu.
