Chapter 1 Liu Heng ascended the throne
It's pie in the sky!
After receiving the secret letter to let him enter Beijing, Liu Heng was surprised and delighted. For seventeen years, Liu Heng has become accustomed to the desolation of Daidi, he once thought that he would stay in Daidi forever, obscure, unnoticed, and died lonely.
And now, the envoy from Chang'an stood in front of him alive, and his tone was hurried, "The prime minister and the prince urgently summoned the king to return to Beijing to discuss major matters. ”
As a royal child, Liu Heng was keenly aware of the message contained in his words: this was inviting him to Beijing to be the emperor.
Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, raised troops, the situation in the capital changed, and the Lu family, which had been in power for more than ten years, was uprooted. Although Liu Heng and a group of subordinates of the Acting Wangfu were far away on the northern border, they had already received the news and paid close attention to the changes in the situation.
I didn't expect the pie to hit my head! Who knows if fragrant pies are poisonous?
Liu Heng hesitated. He politely greeted the messenger, "I see." You stay first, I'll think about it, and then I'll reply to you. ”
Sending the envoy away, Liu Heng summoned all the senior officials of the acting royal palace and opened a special seminar, the theme was: Summoning me to Beijing, is this matter reliable?
Like Liu Heng, most people are skeptical, where will pie fall from the sky? Nine times out of ten, it was a trap set by the old foxes in the court.
Lang Zhong ordered Zhang Wu to be reused by Liu Heng, and his speech was more direct, he said: "The ministers of the DPRK and China are all veterans of the founding of the country, and they are all masters of conspiracy. They have just wiped out the entire Lu clan, and they are about to welcome the king into Beijing, which is really hard to believe. It is better for the king to say that he is sick and wait and see what happens. ”
Everyone echoed and praised Zhang Wu for being right.
Lieutenant Song Chang stood up against it, and he said, "Their statement is wrong. Since the founding of Gaozu, he has been widely favored and won the hearts of the people, and Taiwei Zhou Bo has entered the Northern Army with a talisman, and he has responded to every call, don't think how great he is, in fact, it is the virtue accumulated by Emperor Gaozu. Even if the ministers want to play tricks, there are clans such as Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang and Dongmu Hou Liu Xingju in the court, and there are Wu Chu Qi Langya and other feudal states, all of whom are from the Liu family, who is afraid of whom, fight with them! ”
Song Chang paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "Now Gaozu's sons are only the king and the king of Huainan, the king is older and has a good reputation, so the ministers of the court and the central government want to promote you as the emperor." Don't miss the opportunity, the king doesn't have to worry, hurry up and enter Beijing. ”
Both sides seem to have a point, and there is only one correct answer!
In our lives, we will encounter similar choices, the right to choose can only be exercised once, and after the choice, we will either be happy or regretful. What's even more cruel is that after the choice, there is no turning back, and you can only follow the established path.
Liu Heng, the acting king, came to a fork in the road in his life. He couldn't make up his mind, so he ran to ask his mother, Empress Dowager Bo. Empress Dowager Bo has lived for half her life, where does she have political experience to tell her son! Liu Heng had no choice, so he asked the wizard to divinate a hexagram, and the hexagram was like a good fortune!
Liu Heng planned to enter Beijing, and for the sake of insurance, he first sent his uncle Bo Zhao to Chang'an to investigate the truth. Bo Zhao saw Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo was born as a military general, and he didn't play false, so he originally said his intention to support the king. Bo Zhao was overjoyed and immediately reported to Liu Heng: Don't hesitate, this matter is reliable!
Liu Heng was very happy and took Song Chang, Zhang Wu and others into Beijing by six express trains. When he arrived outside Chang'an City, Liu Heng first went to sweep the tomb of his father Liu Bang and sent Song Chang to explore the city.
Liu Heng walked very steadily every step, which was inseparable from his years of experience. When you are young, it is not a bad thing to suffer a little hardship.
Song Chang walked to Weiqiao, where officials led by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were already waiting. Song Chang turned the horse's head and returned to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng was relieved and continued on the road. When they arrived at Weiqiao, the ministers greeted each other with smiling faces, and greeted the acting king with a great bow from his subordinates, and Liu Heng got out of the car to bow back.
Taiwei Zhou Bo suddenly stepped forward and said to Liu Heng: "I want to talk to you privately." ”
That's embarrassing. The devil knows what Zhou Bo is going to say!
Song Chang was beside Liu Heng, and he immediately said: "If the Taiwei wants to talk about business, please say it in front of the ministers." If you talk about private matters, I'm sorry, the king is selfless! ”
Zhou Bo was also clever, he immediately knelt down and presented the emperor's jade seal. What I want to say is business, business.
Liu Heng excused himself and said: "Let's go to the city first, let's discuss it again." ”
entered Chang'an, and when Liu Heng and his entourage settled down, the ministers jointly signed a letter asking the king to inherit the throne.
Liu Heng resigned: I am not strong and can't take on a big responsibility, I hope you will ask for another master.
The ministers persuaded bitterly that the emperor of the Han Dynasty must be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After a few pushes, the drama was enough. Liu Heng finally reluctantly agreed to be the emperor.
As soon as he entered Weiyang Palace, he immediately appointed Song Chang as General Wei, commanded the northern and southern armies, grasped the defense of the capital in his hands, and asked Lang Zhong to order Zhang Wu to be in charge of palace affairs. After all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
