Chapter 653: The majesty of the Son of Heaven is really majestic
Although no one answered Jian Shuo's doubts, but with the distance outside the Suzaku Gate, the rebels outside the palace suddenly hurriedly built a wooden platform, and from time to time someone in the city of Luoyang, shouted the words of establishing the Marquis of Shi as the emperor, he was stupid and knew what Yuan Shao was going to do, and he actually wanted to surround the palace gate and support the new emperor, this courage is too big, is it true that everyone in the world is blind?
Three days later, a huge wooden platform with a height of three zhang and a length of nine zhang was finally built with the help of the Shaofu craftsmen temporarily recruited by Yuan Shao.
Originally, according to the general situation, if this simple wooden platform was built in a hurry, with the skills of the craftsmen of the Shaofu in Luoyang City, it could be done in one day. The reason why it is so slow is because the wood for building the high platform is not easy to find, although Yuan Shao said that he didn't care about the scene of Liu Wei's accession to the throne, but that does not mean that the high platform that ascended the throne and announced the sky can be built casually.
There is a saying in "Zuo Biography", "Only tools and fame, no dummies", this is the early cognition of the Chinese ancestors, the name is justified, it is justice and truth, and it is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even if Yuan Shao was bold enough to avoid the palace and directly support Liu Bian, he must not be careless in the face of the sacrifice to the heavens, after all, once Liu Biao is supported on this high platform, he will inevitably call the people of Luoyang to testify.
At that time, if you show people a high platform that has no aura at all, doesn't this tell those people that their emperor has no prestige, and the throne is not right, otherwise they will not ascend the throne as the emperor and do not even have an imposing high platform to worship the sky?
Therefore, even if the time was urgent, Yuan Shao still endured to let people look for a big wood that could build a high platform, since Shaofu had no reserves, he could only grab it.
As for the location of the robbery, it is also easy to find, and the mansions of the ten permanent eunuchs who have rebelled are the first choice, especially the two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the mansions are extremely majestic, and there are naturally a lot of cherished big trees used in the construction. If it's not enough, then it's not in a hurry, this coup d'état and their hostile high-ranking officials and aristocratic mansions, of course, can also be robbed, Luoyang as the capital of the Han Dynasty, this high-ranking officials and nobles are naturally not lacking.
In fact, Yuan Shao went to rob these people's mansions, in fact, he had another intention, that is, to kidnap the families of these political enemies, hoping that the other party would throw a rat trap and turn against him because his family was in his hands.
After doing this, Yuan Shao also caught a lot of political enemies' female dependents, but the family members he wanted the most didn't know where they went, such as the guard captain who made his plan almost fall short, and the family members of the Hou Fu Wan, when Yuan Shao went to the Hou Mansion under his command, except for the slaves of the Fu family, all the family members of the Fu Wan were gone, and they didn't know where they were hidden by the Fu Wan.
Of course, although some people are against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not target them, such as Ma Riyan Mansion, as for the reason, it is naturally not that Yuan Shao is afraid of the name of the Right Fufeng Ma Clan, but the real reason is because the Right Fu Feng Ma Clan is their in-law of the Yuan Clan in Runan.
Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui's wife Ma Lun is a great Confucian Ma Rong daughter, and now Yuan Shao doesn't dare to provoke Yuan Kui anymore, just forced Yuan Kui to help him support Liu Wei, if he moves Ma again, Yuan Kui will turn his face because of this, so even though Ma is also the person who led the troops to fight against Yuan Shao during the coup, but Yuan Shao did not move Ma from beginning to end.
And the family members of the enemies who were captured by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not treat them excessively, all those people were sent to Yuan Kui's mansion by him, and gathered with the families of those officials who went to Yuan Kui's mansion for refuge, in the name of inviting the other party to come to the mansion as guests, in fact, it is no different from surveillance, in order to make those in the enemy camp have scruples, for Yuan Shao, this does not actually require them to defect directly, but as long as they change from hostility to neutrality, it is very good.
On the morning of this day, the weather was suitable, in the distance of the Suzaku Gate, the music was singing, under the angry eyes of Jian Shuo and others and the incomprehensible eyes of the masses who were called to see the ceremony, the hazy "Shi Hou" Liu Wei, wearing the twelve sons of heaven, wearing the robe of the son of heaven, step by step, with the support of Yuan Shao, under the attention of the three princes and nine kings who had negotiated cooperation with him in advance and the Yuan protégé who was willing to follow the dragon, he slowly climbed the high platform and sat on the temporary dragon seat under the high platform.
Today's stage, although it is not in line with the etiquette law, but Yuan Shao persuaded Dahonglu still sent people to search for the ancient law, so that a set of rules and regulations for ascending the throne in front of the palace gate was formulated, whether it is the enthronement procedure or music, it can be said to be extremely well-founded, in order to hope that after Liu Wei ascended the throne, their reckless behavior can be accepted by the etiquette law, so that they can be whitewashed in the future.
When the time came, Situ Dinggong and Sikong Liu Hong, among the three princes who were now in Beijing, immediately took out the edict they had drafted in advance and read it out.
The content of the edict is very simple, it is nothing more than that the palace has removed traitors, held the emperor hostage, His Majesty's life and death are unknown, and he planned to kill the general He Jin. And they, the loyal ministers of the Han family, could not enter the palace to protect the emperor, and at the same time knew that the empress Song and the eunuchs conspired to persecute His Majesty, and the crown prince Liu Chong was not the son of the emperor Liu Hong.
This edict can be said to have washed away the legitimacy of Liu Wei's inheritance of the throne of the Han Dynasty, especially why they chose to ascend the throne outside the palace gate today.
According to the Han family system, the new monarch officially ascended the throne, usually one month after the emperor's death, but at that time, the enthronement was actually just a ceremony, a ceremony to announce that the world and the country had changed its master.
If you want to compare, this enthronement is actually equivalent to a child's full moon wine, or a ceremony to catch the week, in fact, before the accession to the throne, the new monarch of the Han family has been worshiped by hundreds of officials and worshiped as the co-master. For example, in the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang died, and that night, Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying was surrounded by hundreds of officials and ascended the throne in Weiyang Palace.
Now, Liu Wei ascended the throne, because these loyal ministers now don't know whether the emperor Liu Hong is dead or not, and because of the conspiracy in the palace, their power is weak and they can't know the inside story, so they can only support the new monarch.
Politics is shameless, it can turn black into white, history books are written by people, and it can delete or tamper with a part of history without hesitation. Yuan Shao and these people are now preparing for them to change politics from black to white and tamper with history in the future, of course, they have not done enough, after all, only by completely mastering the palace and controlling Luoyang can this matter be regarded as settled.
Therefore, Yuan Shao planned that after Liu Wei ascended the throne, he would use the name of the new monarch to order the southern and northern armies, and it was really impossible to directly call on the king of Qin, but these are all later words, and I don't know if there is a chance to implement it.
After reading the edict, he walked to the dragon seat with Liu Wei, turned around, waved his robe, and sat on the dragon throne, with immature eyes and curiosity in his eyes, through the twelve beads in front of his eyes, he looked at the civil and military officials who were obviously compared with the ordinary court meeting, and the number was scarce.
Because the young Liu Wei has been raised outside the palace and has not experienced any intrigue, he still doesn't know what the situation in front of him means. However, perhaps it was the royal family's innate precocious sixth sense of politics, and Liu Wei felt that these courtiers in front of him gave him a strong sense of insecurity.
On the high platform, seeing that Liu Wei had already sat down, Yuan Shao immediately came out and sang loudly: "The new monarch is on the throne, and hundreds of officials pay homage!" ”
The civil and military officials, so under the leadership of Situ Ding Gong and Sikong Liu Hong, they bowed three times and bowed nine times to Liu Wei, the so-called new monarch, and shouted in unison: "The ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an!" ”
Those who are not familiar with the inside story may feel like that when they see this scene, they probably feel that it is really like that, and in the distance of the high platform, those people who were called to besiege saw this scene, and they also bowed and bowed.
They first looked at each other, and then after seeing other people around them, they bowed and bowed like a hundred officials and shouted, "Xiaomin knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Jin'an", and then sat down in the same motion. Of course, those people who bowed in advance were naturally not real people, they were all planted by Yuan Shao in advance, in order to make the people in Luoyang City recognize Liu Wei as the new monarch, everyone has a herd mentality, and they are using this to create the illusion that the people are looking forward to it.
For a while, the entire Suzaku Gate seemed to be playing a farce, from the courtiers to the common people, who didn't know the situation in the palace, rushed to salute the new monarch.
In the distance, inside the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Song and other royal relatives who rushed from the Jiade Hall saw this scene, they were all angry, and they all scolded Yuan Benchu for being shameless, he didn't even know the life and death of the emperor, and now he directly supported the new monarch, which was really bold and reckless.
At the moment, the Empress Dowager Dong, who was not politically vigilant, shouted to go out and expose the disguise of Yuan Shao, a rebellious minister, in her opinion, as long as she, the emperor's mother, said that her son was not dead, and her grandson Liu Wei could not ascend the throne, then Yuan Shao's conspiracy would naturally not succeed.
However, before the Empress Dowager Dong could act, she was stopped by Jian Shuo, and the loyal eunuch cried: "If the Empress Dowager leaves the palace, won't she be a sheep?" The traitor outside the palace is worried that there is no one to help him succeed? ”
The news of Liu Hong's death cannot be spread now, otherwise it will definitely affect the hearts of the soldiers in the palace, so Jian Shuo still calls the Empress Dowager Dong, who should be called the "Empress Dowager", "Empress Dowager" outside the Suzaku Gate. Of course, these are all trivial matters, and the really useful things in Jian Shuo's words are naturally not allowed to leave the palace, because now when he leaves the palace, he is completely making wedding clothes for Yuan Shao and others.
After this reminder, Empress Dowager Dong also understood that she was reckless, and Yuan Shao had already arranged elite soldiers to guard the palace gate, in order to isolate the news in the palace. Even the high platform in front of the Suzaku Gate is far away from the palace gate, and between the two, soldiers are also arranged to patrol and prohibit idlers from approaching, ensuring that the palace has become a forbidden place for the entire Luoyang City, and not a single fly will let it fly out.
Now, if the people in the palace want to kill and stop Yuan Shao's conspiracy to support Liu Wei, then it is obvious that unless they can guarantee the defeat of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, once they are surrounded by Yuan Shao, it is very likely that the palace will also be breached by Yuan Shao. After that, the fake emperor Liu Wei is really likely to become the real emperor, and now the soldiers and horses of Liu Chongdang in the palace are obviously not enough to compare with Yuan Shao's people, so unless it is reinforced by foreign soldiers, Yuan Shao can only do whatever he wants.
This is a Yang Mou!
The real Yangmou!
Clearly tell you that they want to do something on the throne, but you can't stop it, in the eyes of Jian Shuo and others, Yuan Shao's hand is really poisonous, they don't go out of the palace to stop it, and they can't say that after the propaganda of the people of Luoyang, Liu Wei has really become the legitimate heir to the throne.
Seeing that Liu Wei ascended the throne and let more and more people in Luoyang follow and bow, Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Song and others could only shout loudly, hoping to rely on this to tell those people the truth, but obviously, the distance made their shouting in vain, and in the end they could only watch this farce happen.
After Situ Ding Palace put the edict of the three princes into the brazier that had been prepared long ago and burned it, the ceremony of telling the heavens ended, and after that, it was Yuan Shao who deliberately arranged the link, allowing Liu Wei to ride in the car of the Son of Heaven and parade around Luoyang City.
Yuan Shao wanted to let the people in the whole city of Luoyang know that Liu Wei was the Son of Heaven, which was an established fact recognized by legal principles, and after that, with the spread of the people of Luoyang, it would inevitably spread all over the world by Si Li.
As for whether there will be trouble in Luoyang City during the parade, Yuan Shao will not be afraid, he has already arranged soldiers and horses, guarding the gates of Luoyang, and today he ascended the throne to tell the sky, without his permission, no one can enter or exit, with Luoyang as the defense of several strong cities in the world, although Yuan Shao divides troops like this, the number of people defending the city is small, but it is still possible to defend Luoyang, and it is difficult for anyone who wants to attack the city.
"Ministers knock on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" With the car of "Liu Bian, the Son of Heaven", he walked along the streets of Luoyang City, and the voice of "Long live Your Majesty" resounded everywhere in the entire Luoyang City, and it was one after another, and it was endless.
The Imperial Servant didn't know that some of the old Son of Heaven cars were found there, and Liu Wei, who was wearing the Son of Heaven dress for the first time, looked at the subjects kneeling on the ground densely along the road, and the overwhelming voice, he was suddenly incomparably infected, his little face was flushed, his fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't sit on the car seat at all.
In Liu Wei's memory, he has never been so majestic, and he has only seen this kind of majesty in one person, that is, his father Liu Hong. At that time, his father set up eight schools in the West Garden, summoned soldiers from all over the world, talked about martial arts under Pingle Pass, rode tens of thousands, shouted in unison, and shook the sun, as a prince, he was naturally fortunate to see it by the emperor's side, but for some reason, his father always ignored him, although he did his father's responsibility, but did not let him feel his father's love.
The majesty of this son of heaven is really majestic, no wonder the mother and uncle have been telling them to work hard to please their father and take the throne of the eldest brother, it turns out to be really a good thing!
