Liu Biao came to the palace at this time, and when he saw that many ministers were there, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and walked to the palace in a little panic, "Father, what's the matter, the ministers will help you solve it!" ”

Liu Zheng, the head of the palace, saw Liu Biao coming, and felt a little comforted in his heart, "Emperor, this matter is not a question of whether it can be solved, but sadness, just now there was news that your uncle passed away in Zhongshan." ”

"I have been like-minded with him since I was a child, and now I have no heirs, so I left me early, how can I not be sad, I have decided in my heart that tomorrow in Chang'an will hold a murder ceremony for him, for three days, and then be buried in Duling." Liu Zheng said very sadly.

"There is also the fact that singing and dancing have been banned in Chang'an in the past few days, especially in the Alley of Smoke and Willows, Kuang Heng, you must forbid it for me, as for other things, Liu Xiang will arrange it." Liu Zheng touched his forehead and said very melancholy.

Seeing this, Liu Biao immediately stepped forward, "Father, my uncle died early, and it is really pitiful that I have no heirs, so it is better to seal a king in the palace, and I will be crowned in the future, and I will be regarded as my uncle's child." ”

This proposal made Liu Zheng's face soften a little, and nodded quite agreeably, now Liu Kang is already the king of Dingtao Gong, and the only one who has not been crowned king is Liu Xing, that is, Feng Zhaoyi's son.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng set his eyes on Liu Xing, "I said Xing'er, you didn't have the throne, today my own brother died, don't make it extinct, I think it's better to reward you as the king of Zhongshan." ”

Liu Xing is not very old, coupled with Feng Zhaoyi's earnest teaching, he has no objection to Liu Biao becoming the crown prince, and now he has been crowned the throne for no reason, which is not a bad thing.

Besides, Liu Zheng is not in a very good mood now, so Liu Xing immediately bowed and saluted: "It's all up to my father, Erchen didn't think about it in his heart, if he could comfort his uncle's spirit in the sky, Erchen would naturally be happy." ”

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's do this first, I'm in a bad mood, after the funeral tomorrow, after the three days of closure, you all have a good rest, presumably my brother doesn't want me to be so sad for him under Jiuquan." Liu Zheng said very sadly, and at the same time retreated all the palace maids on the left and right, including Fu Zhaoyi, and prepared to meditate for a few days.

Kuang Heng originally thought that Liu Zheng was going to be lazy, but when he saw all the palace maids and concubines going out of the palace, Kuang Heng felt that things were not simple, and it seemed that Liu Zheng was really sad.

The abbot was mainly responsible for the murderous ceremony this time, Shi Dan and Liu Xiang, one is to master all the etiquette in this regard, and the other is a clan family, which is also something arranged by Liu Zheng.

A day later, Liu Ao was dressed in plain clothes, and walked towards the square in front of Weiyang Palace, where the altar had been built.

It was not until noon that the hundred officials had finished gathering and found their position, and after Stan arranged the murderous ceremony, he was ready to go down for a cup of tea, and then carry out the charter, who knew that Liu Biao came over with a little joy at this time.

Seeing this, Stan immediately stepped forward and pulled Liu Biao aside, "Prince, why are you so happy today?" ”

"What's the matter, isn't Prince Ben so happy every day, is there anything wrong?" Liu Biao asked a little dazedly, although this Liu Biao is a little stubborn, but his nature is very good, this Stan sees this very thoroughly, although there is a punishment every time, but it is never a big punishment, which is also the reason why Stan supports the prince.

"Of course it's not right, if you think about who is dying here, it's your own uncle, how can there be an uncle in the world who is dead, if you don't cry, at least you have to show a very sad look." Stan said hurriedly.

"But I've never seen him before, so I can't cry at all." Liu Biao said indifferently.

"My prince, the old minister still advises you to say a few words, sometimes you still have to cry, this is also the essence of the fierce ceremony, the person who cries and mourns has true feelings, there is false affection, but they are all crying, for this atmosphere, not to let His Majesty feel that we are all ruthless people, and after all the etiquette is over, the prince can laugh as much as he wants, but he must cry at this time!" Stan remonstrated.

Liu Biao nodded very sincerely, but he didn't hear anything in his heart, although he was his own uncle, he hadn't seen him a few times since he was a child, and he was like a stranger, how could he cry.

Liu Zheng came out of the Yang Palace, came to the front of the altar, and lit a candle for the dead Liu Jing, "My like-minded good brother, why did you die so early, my father died, my eldest brother is like a father, you are obviously letting a white-haired person send a black-haired person, how can you not make me feel heartbroken!" ”

"Now I have sent the kid over, and succeeded him as the king of Zhongshan, I just hope that my brother will not dislike it, that kid is smart, he will definitely not run Zhongshan too badly, you can rest in peace."

After the words were finished, Liu Zheng took two steps back, just in the middle of Liu Biao and Liu Kang, Liu Xiang was beside him, and immediately shouted loudly: "Kneel and worship, worship heaven and earth!" ”

Then the crowd burst into tears, "Bow down and worship your parents." "Bow down and sacrifice the souls of the dead!" After kneeling three times, crying for a while is considered a successful end.

Liu Biao was dazed by this fierce etiquette charter, and he didn't know Liu Jing at all, from beginning to end, Liu Biao didn't cry a single tear, and the most important thing was that he didn't cry.

Liu Zheng was just between Liu Kang and Liu Biao, on the one hand, there were tears, those who saw it were sad and those who heard it were crying, and on the other hand, they had an indifferent face and no sound.

are the same two brothers, the difference is so big, how can they tolerate this kind of disloyalty and unfilial piety if they want to come to the Han Dynasty to govern the country with filial piety.

As soon as the murderous ceremony ended, Liu Zheng looked at Liu Biao with some displeasure, "Emperor, it's your own uncle who died, isn't there a little sadness?" He hugged you when you were young, you look at Kang'er again, crying like a dead father, you are so disappointed in your father! ”

Without waiting for Liu Biao to speak, Liu Zheng had already pulled Liu Kang back to Weiyang Palace, Liu Biao was really at a loss at this moment, "Can this be considered a big deal?" ”

Stan had already seen the situation here clearly, handed over all the work in his hand to Liu Xiang, and then ran over, "Prince, your heart is really wide, the Han family rules the world with filial piety, even if you don't cry, it's useless to make more contributions, you look at the second prince of the family, he didn't do anything, he just cried a lot, and this treatment is obvious." ”

Liu Biao also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked Xiang Stan helplessly, "Teacher, what should I do about this matter now?" At that time, I really couldn't cry, how did I know that Liu Kang's kid was going to do so much, and he went up to cry with a handful of snot and tears. ”

"Don't worry about the prince, the old minister will explain." As he spoke, Stan walked towards Weiyang Palace.
