On the morning of the second day of the death of the young emperor, the whole city of Luoyang was very heavy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hundreds of ministers of civil and military affairs, representing the supreme power and legitimate power of the Han Dynasty, came out of their homes without anyone organizing them, and walked to the newly renovated Deyang Hall in front of the center of the palace, with various complex purposes and moods, discussing together how to arrange the memorial ceremony of the young emperor, how to choose the mausoleum of the young emperor, and how to choose the future of the great Han.

No matter what the ministers of civil and military affairs are thinking about the coming one after another, and what they think about the future government and politics, they can't help but be conquered by the magnificent momentum displayed by the majestic Deyang Hall in front of them.

After the revival of Guangwu Zhongxing, the capital Luoyang, the imperial palace that is integrated with the whole city, is divided into the south palace and the north palace, which is located in the north and south of Luoyang city respectively, the middle distance is seven miles, and the two palaces are connected with the double road. In the recovering road, the emperor took the middle road, guarding the left and right, ten steps and one guard.

The main hall of the South Palace is the Deyang Palace, the hall is three zhang high, and His Majesty is one zhang high. The temple can accommodate 10,000 people. The hall is surrounded by pond water, jade steps and beams, the altar is made of grained stones, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and the golden pillars are carved with beautiful figures.

The Deyang Hall is tall and majestic, and it is said that it is located in the Yanshi City forty-three miles away from Luoyang, and you can see the Deyang Hall and the Vermilion Bird Que Yu Yu and the sky.

This large hall rebuilt according to the original appearance of the burned Deyang Hall is the highest symbol of the Han regime, and is the core of the Han monarchs and ministers to hold court meetings and discuss politics.

When it is a pity that because the young emperor has been in a state of sometimes sober and sometimes comatose since he was rescued back to Luoyang, this palace, which cost a huge amount of money and was carefully built by thousands of highest-level master craftsmen and skilled craftsmen of the Han Dynasty led by Huo Jian, the giant of the Mo family, has not had the opportunity to use it so far.

Since the regent Liu Cun did not appear. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs gathered outside the main hall. No one dared to enter the hall without a single soldier guarding it. Some gathered together to discuss nervously, some stood in groups of three or five to enjoy the architectural art of the main hall by the white marble carved dragon railing, and some simply strolled on both sides of the granite royal road carved with groups of cloud dragons and flying phoenix patterns under the nine-meter high platform, and sighed at the exquisite patterns on the wide royal road, the one hundred and eight stone steps and the ancient cypresses transplanted from nowhere on both sides.

Just when the leaderless ministers of civil and military affairs were waiting a little impatiently, Yang Biao, who was recommended by everyone to go to invite the regent Liu Cun to come to discuss, hurriedly arrived, and Yang Biao, who had climbed the nine-meter-high platform along the wide stone steps in one breath, did not have time to salute his colleagues who surrounded him, and an anxious minister asked in a loud voice: "Doesn't the general want to succeed to the throne?" ”

When all the civil and military officers heard this, their hearts immediately tightened.

Yang Biao, who was out of breath, helplessly told everyone: "The general said it." The descendants of the young emperor have not yet negotiated the charter, the cemetery has not yet been settled, and most of the royal clansmen in the states are on the way to Luoyang. ”

"How's that going to work? Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, why is the general so pedantic? No, the old man will go and persuade him. Zhao Qi, who was highly respected, was so anxious that he raised his feet and left, and more than 20 important ministers around him who supported Liu Cun's ascension immediately echoed loudly and followed closely.

Yang Biao hurriedly grabbed Zhao Qi: "Don't be in a hurry." The Great General has his own troubles! When the younger brother went to the camp in the east of the city to invite him, he saw Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan and more than ten other great Confucians who had come from Qingzhou day and night talking to the general. Sit down and take a look, the governors of the five eastern and northern states, as well as the general Cao Mengde, the envoys of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, etc., are all gathered together, discussing the gains and losses and promotion of the new policy in Qingzhou, how to clean up the situation in the disintegrated world, etc., all of these things affect the fate of my Han! Brother Zhao, colleagues, can you put aside the matter of succession for the time being, and go to the camp in the east of the city to listen to the opinions of all parties? ”

Everyone was greatly stunned, and before they had time to think carefully, they saw that Yang Biao and Zhao Qi had already left side by side, and immediately followed, and went out of the palace together under the leadership of Yang Biao and Zhao Qi, or boarded the carriage, or rode on the horse, and rushed to the garrison base camp east of the central square.

Liu Cun, who received the urgent report, immediately suspended the heated discussion and debate, discussed a few words in a low voice with Cao Cao, who was sitting at the bottom, and both stood up, leading Mi Zhu, Xu Yi, Min Chun, Zhao Rong and Gongsun Zhan, the five state pastors and more than ten generals under his command, to stride out to greet them.

Zheng Xuan and Bingyuan, who were arguing with several high-ranking officials in Qingzhou and Jizhou over the new policy, also had to temporarily put aside all topics and follow Liu Cun and others to greet the Chinese military forces of the DPRK.

The meeting between hundreds of important civil and military ministers who are famous all over the world and dozens of celebrities of the Han Dynasty was extremely spectacular, and it took more than half an hour to salute each other and greet each other, as well as exclamations and laughter among old friends.

Fortunately, the lobby of Liu Cun's marshal mansion is large enough, although it is not luxurious at all, but it is wide and simple, and the clever guards have already removed all the superfluous furnishings under the orders of Zhao Yun, the chief of the guard, and Zhao Li, the young butler, and quickly moved more than 20 long tables and more than 100 chairs from the small conference rooms on both sides and the barracks in the backyard, and placed them neatly.

Liu Cun welcomed hundreds of civil and military officers into the lobby, and took the opportunity of not yet sitting down, pulled Cao Cao, Yang Biao, Zhao Qi and Liu Ye into the lounge at the back of the main hall to discuss urgently.

"To be honest, I don't know much about folk weddings and funerals, and I don't know anything about royal etiquette, but the top priority is to handle the young emperor's funeral, I can't wait any longer, whether it's a nickname or a mausoleum, it's all up to you!" Liu Cun bowed as he spoke.

Where did Zhao Qi and Yang Biao dare to accept the gift of Liu Cun, who was about to ascend the throne? hurriedly stopped it, and even said that this was a matter of duty, and implored Liu Cun not to worry.

Cao Cao, who had reached a consensus with Liu Cun and fully supported Liu Cun's ascendancy, changed his mind, smiled, and suggested in a low voice: "Aren't Zheng Shi and Bing Shi, these great Confucians, who are both ancient and modern, all here?" ”

Before Liu Cun could react, Yang Biao had already stroked his palms and sighed.

"That's right! Why didn't you think of it? It's still Meng De's amazing! ”

Yang Biao's eyes showed a blazing light, and he said eloquently: "If you can hand over the affairs of the young emperor to those famous Confucians outside, you can definitely shut their mouths, just give them a few noble and prominent idle official positions!" ”

"In this way, there will never be a so-called old system, the so-called continuation of the discussion, haha!" (To be continued.) )
