Chapter 778: Receiving Zen as the Emperor
The New Han Dynasty unified the Han Dynasty and established a new Han Dynasty, during the establishment of the country, or the young emperor as the emperor, this has a meaning of inheriting the past and opening up the future, in name, it is orthodox, logical, and can make the people of the entire Han Dynasty recognize this court. Subconsciously, they will think that such a big man is a big man in their minds.
At the same time, it also allows all Han people to have a sense of belonging. I feel that what they hope in their hearts, that anyone can usually talk about being loyal to the Han and supporting the Han family, has now become a fact, and it is not against their hearts. The honor of the Han people is engraved into the bones of every Han person, and as long as they are still that big man, everyone will feel at ease.
However, at the same time, every Han people also know in their hearts that the current Han is actually because of Taifu Liu Yi to obtain great unification, and only then can the majority of their people get real rest and recuperation themselves, let them get real hope, and let them have expectations for a better life in the future.
If it is said that the young emperor is the emperor, it satisfies the spiritual sustenance in the hearts of the people. Then Leo is the one who really gives them substantial hope.
How can the Han Dynasty lead to chaos in the world, the harm brought to the people by the decay of the Han Dynasty is still as vivid as yesterday, countless people who have been hurt, their pain has not completely subsided.
Therefore, after the founding ceremony of the country, after the excitement of the general public, after the decrees were issued and implemented. After they begin to carry out and carry out large-scale productive labor, the people will calm down, begin to appreciate their hard-won life now, and begin to cherish the life they can touch now and have a better future.
And this time. Inevitably, there will be many people who will have certain doubts about the Han court. There will definitely be people who will worry in their hearts, the current Han court. Will it be after a little better, it will be as corrupt and degenerate as the previous court?
Although, the government will continue to publicize and explain to the people of the world what is the difference between the current court and the previous court. However, if there are some substantive things that involve the actual interests of millions of people, then the people will not be suspicious. And what? Because, no matter how enlightened the current court is. No matter how nice the government says, but the official word is two-handed, today's decree may be changed tomorrow. For example, when it comes to paying taxes, you say that, but what if tomorrow it's a different story? What can they do? I can only accept it helplessly.
For the young emperor, the general public may approve emotionally and spiritually. However, what they trusted more was Taifu Liuyi. After all. All the benefits are brought by Liu Yi, and Liu Yi is dedicated to doing practical things for the people, starting from the beginning of his fame. It is already well known. You must know that from the very beginning, Liu Yi was just a disaster relief food officer. He is a person who can really think about the poor people.
Only Liu Yi can make the people of the world feel at ease.
So. At this time, if Liu Yi took over the throne and ascended the throne. The people will only rejoice and be at ease, and there will be absolutely no opposition. After all, Liu Yi is also a relative of the Han family, the royal brother of the first emperor, Taifu. Liu Yi is the emperor, and he is still this Han Dynasty, and it is the same orthodoxy inherited from the Han Dynasty. In this way, not only can the spirit be accepted by the general public, but even the hearts of the people can be more at ease.
Therefore, Liu Yi's ascension to the throne as emperor at this time should be the most suitable time.
In addition, if the young emperor is allowed to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, it is obviously not suitable. Because this Han is Liu Yi's will, the young emperor does not have that prestige and prestige to shock the imperial court and the Han army of the imperial court. When he went, it seemed like a bit of a joke. In particular, whoever goes to Mount Tai to seal Zen means that the destiny of heaven is returned and ordered by heaven. If Liu Yi really wants to ascend the throne, then he must let Liu Yi go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
Therefore, the ministers of the imperial court, considering many problems, decided to persuade Cambodia Liu Yi to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
In fact, Liu Yi didn't care, and he also felt in his heart that if he wanted to really bring the Han into a new era, he must firmly control the imperial court. Therefore, there is also the idea of being the best, and I have long acquiesced to the fact that I am the honor of the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Yi himself acquiesced, and the hundred officials of the imperial court had already regarded Liu Yi as the emperor, and the Han army and horses only listened to Liu Yi's orders, and they had long regarded Liu Yi as the master. However, there are some superficial efforts that still need to be done. These efforts have to be done by those courtiers.
There are virtuous people in the world. And this virtuous person can't kick the original emperor away, and say that a certain virtuous person will be the emperor from now on, right?
Therefore, now the persuasion of hundreds of officials in the imperial court can be regarded as an act that allows Liu Yi to have a step up.
In this way, Liu Yi did not refuse. Let the hundred officials of the imperial court run the matter of their own ascension to the throne as emperor.
At the beginning of November, the young emperor issued an edict to the world, to the effect that he praised Liu Yi's merits, praised what Liu Yi had done for the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and then depreciated himself. Of course, it's not a big deal, the main thing is to show his heart to the people of the world, be modest, and say that he has no virtue and no talent, and it is difficult to lead the Han to prosperity, and he can't do it. Finally, he mentioned that when his first emperor, who was also the death of the young emperor's father, he had a verbal decree that if the young emperor and the emperor were unable to revitalize the Han Dynasty, they could let their younger brother Liu Yi replace them. In this way, the young emperor decided to abdicate and give up the throne to his imperial uncle Liu Yi.
Well, what the young emperor mentioned about the first emperor, the first emperor did say it to Liu Yi personally, and now it is just through the young emperor to announce the world. The young emperor said this, and Liu Yi was also at ease.
Subsequently, a group of ministers in the court also issued a statement, respecting Liu Yi as the emperor and asking Liu Yi to ascend the throne.
Liu Yi himself also asked the ministers of the court to write an announcement on his behalf, which were all formulaic things. The gist of it is that Liu Yi himself, who was valued by the first emperor back then, entrusted the young emperor to the orphan and the emperor, and fortunately did not disgrace the holy life. Now the young emperor intends to give way, which makes Liu Yicheng fearful, lest he be incompetent. However, the young emperor was determined to do so, and he could only reluctantly agree to come down in the future. We must inherit the will of the first emperor and make great efforts. Revitalize Dahan Yunyun......
Anyway, Liu Yi handed it over to the ministers of the court to deal with this matter. These diplomatic words make ordinary actions, and Liu Yi is really not used to it.
In early November, the young emperor officially abdicated, and at the same time, a grand enthronement ceremony was held in the palace, announcing that Liu Yi had officially ascended the throne as emperor, and all officials worshipped and all the people worshipped.
Liu Yi was officially the emperor. The first thing is to posthumously seal the first emperors of the dynasty, and these are also the traditional behaviors of the court officials who asked Liu Yi to do this.
Then, it is to crown the young emperor as the king of Chang'an, give the palace of Chang'an to him, and then seal the emperor as the king of Chenliu, and give the palace of Xuchang. At the same time, Luoyang is the central capital, Chang'an is the western capital, and Xuchang is the eastern capital. Wancheng is the southern capital, and Beiping is the northern capital.
In addition, a certain amount of gifts were also given to many people who were from the original Han family. Of course, Lewis is now entitled. It's all reputational, and they don't have real power. This is also known as the Great Seal Kinship. In fact, there is a meaning to doing this. That is to say, the meaning of the flourishing branches of the Han family.
Follow. Princess Liu Mu was crowned as the queen, and other concubines were not awarded for the time being. But He Wan, the former Empress Dowager, is still the Empress Dowager. Living in the original Ciqing Palace, several concubines of the first emperor also had gifts and still lived in the palace. This is also a superficial effort, the woman who served the first emperor was in the palace, saying that it was to express her filial piety to the first emperor, what was actually going on, and anyone who knew the inside story understood it. To put it bluntly, it is a brother to a brother, and Liu Yi accepted these women of the first emperor as his concubines. Such as Princess Yang'an, Princess Yiyang, Princess Changshe, etc., also have gifts.
Then, in the name of the new emperor, he was able to sacrifice to the sky, the emperor's mausoleum, and the tomb of the martyrs.
The old ministers in the court kept persuading Liu Yi that the ancestral rites could not be abolished, otherwise, Liu Yi really didn't want to go through so many procedures.
Of course, this is not over, and Liu Yi has to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
However, we will not go to Mount Tai until after this year, and we will go to Mount Tai during the Qingming Festival next year. Because Mount Tai Feng Zen platform to be renovated, but also to build a palace for the emperor's residence after arriving at Mount Tai. Although Lewi asked for simplicity, he also had to build a palace.
Originally, according to the requirements of the ministers, Liu Yi wanted to accept a concubine and hold a big wedding, and he had to wait for Mount Tai to seal the Zen. But Liu Yili disagreed, not wanting his woman to wait too long. Therefore, it was decided to get married before the year, officially hold a make-up wedding, and marry the woman of the family into the palace.
Well, the main thing is that after Liu Yi ascended the throne as the emperor, he will live in the palace for a long time, and it is not easy to live in the Liu Mansion in Luoyang City.
Soon after Liu Yicai ascended the throne, he was made big by those old ministers. At this point, Liu Yi realized that it was so troublesome to be an emperor, not only to take care of everything, but also to pay attention to his words and deeds. Learn those etiquettes from the ceremonial officials in the palace, saying that there must be an emperor in the line and the emperor's posture and dignity in the posture of the emperor. Even, even when speaking, you have to learn to speak "official language".
Those old ministers really made Liu Yi angry and reprimanded them one by one. Then he didn't care so much, and first proposed to officially abolish the kneeling salute, but this was opposed by the Manchu civil and military forces. Heaven and earth are the king's teachers, the ministers kneel to the king, and the wives kneel to the husband, this is a great gift, and it must not be abolished.
In the end, Liu Yi compromised with his ministers, that is, he did not need to kneel at ordinary times, and only knelt on some formal occasions. Because Liu Yi felt that kneeling around was too crooked.
Think about it, when everyone sees themselves, they first kneel down and say long live the emperor, and then they have to tell them to be flat in a serious way before they can talk about other things. Also, the woman next to me kneels when she sees herself, even if she brings herself a glass of water, she also kneels to bring it, which is too annoying. What can't face himself, seeing that he has to bow his head and hang down or something, Liu Yi feels that he is really annoyed.
The same is true of what kind of wife and husband, two husbands and wives, it's not good to respect each other like guests? How uninteresting is kneeling at every turn, kneeling at the door, kneeling when going out, even if it is to take off a piece of clothing for your husband?
Therefore, at Liu Yi's insistence, kneeling can only be done on some formal and serious occasions. At other times, it doesn't have to be like that.
Then, it is necessary to abolish some cumbersome etiquette. For example, how the emperor should travel and how to talk about pomp and circumstance, and how to greet a person. All of this is gone.
Also, some of the colloquialisms that are formatted or something are also abolished. Long live the emperor, long live the mother, these slogan-like colloquialisms, don't want it.
When you see a person and don't say anything, you just call something first, it's also annoying.
However, if you arch your hand or wave your hand to say hello, you still need to pay attention to these salutes.
After abolishing many bad customs, Liu Yi felt a little more comfortable in the palace. Liu Yi really didn't want to have a layer of separation from his own woman after he became the emperor. It's as if they are on top, they have to worship themselves, and they have to make some tedious movements and say some superfluous words in order to communicate with themselves as usual.
Think about it, such as the emperors and empresses or their concubines in some later movies and television. Everyone sat solemnly, spoke politely, and every word and action seemed to be well thought out, as if they were making a fuss. What's the point of living like this?
Between men and women, how to do it, hug if you want, sleep when you want, flirt and scold, heart-to-heart is to live, is the real happiness.
Therefore, for some things that make Liu Yi feel very annoying and unreasonable, just one word, waste! Waste! Waste!
The ministers saw that Liu Yi lost his temper, so they didn't fight too much with Liu Yi in this regard. After all, since the establishment of the New Han Dynasty, Liu Yidu has slowly changed many bad habits, and they are not unacceptable to many customs that have changed.
After all, all this is something superficial, and as long as Liu Yi can lead the revitalization of Dahan, then everything is fine.
In this way, it is the matter of Liu Yi's marriage with so many women. Of course, Princess Wannian and the ten women who had already worshiped Liu Yi in Dongting Lake Xinzhou will no longer participate in this wedding. They have also been brought directly into the palace by Liu Yi. In addition, such as the Queen Mother and the widows of the previous emperors, it is not easy to participate. Like Princess Yang'an, Princess Yizhou, Princess Changshe, etc., also did not participate.
Also, the Yan family is not involved, but Lu Chan will go to church with Liu Yi. Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Yi, they are also reluctant to participate, Mrs. Zhang and Liu, mainly because they are Yuan Shaozhi's wife, and they are not suitable for showing up in public, and Mrs. Ding, considering that Cao Cao is in Luoyang, it is not good to stimulate Cao **** again, and also considering the feelings with Cao Ang and the three sisters of the Cao family, she is also reluctant to visit with Liu Yi.
In fact, there are many who are unwilling, mainly because they are considered to have a relationship that cannot affect Liu Yi's reputation. In this way, Liu Yi is not reluctant, but it is certain to welcome them into the palace and make them concubines. (To be continued.) )
