readx;?“ It turned out that it could be like this! ”

Liu Cun suddenly realized, and patted his head: "It's me who is confused, confused, I should have thought of the ultimate purpose of these people from Langya Academy who came day and night!" ”

"Okay, just follow Brother Meng De's suggestion, Elder Zhao, you will recommend their positions and appoint them to preside over the affairs of the young emperor, okay?"

Zhao Qi hurriedly returned the salute: "It's an honor!" It is estimated that no matter how unhappy they are, they will sell the face of the old minister. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Liu Cun was completely relieved at this time, and turned to Cao Cao to thank him sincerely: "Thank you Brother Meng De!" Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with this group of world-famous literati......"

"I never thought that the group of high-minded hermits Zheng Shi and Bing Shi, who were far away in Langya, would suddenly come to Luoyang to join in the fun, I am really afraid that they will not know the current affairs and disturb the overall situation!"

Cao Cao smiled confidently: "Zijian's succession to the throne is the will of the people, the trend of the times, even if someone is noisy, it is purely a praying mantis blocking the car and not doing its own power, how can it shake the overall situation?" However, this also reflects Zijian's benevolence and humility, if it were not for Zijian's strong support and tolerance over the years, where would there be any famous Langya Academy? Didn't Langya Guojun say it? Zijian's succession to the throne is the will of heaven! ”

Liu Cun was overjoyed, and asked everyone's opinions after whispering thanks: "Langyajun Liu Xi and Mr. Gongsun Pei are resting in the backyard, do you want them to attend the important discussion that will be held soon?" ”

"If these two are willing to show up, it will be the best." Zhao Qi took the lead in expressing his position.

Yang Biao nodded again and again: "With Langyajun and Mr. Gongsun coming forward, no one in the front hall dares to speak loudly, the former is a famous benevolent monarch in the world." It is enough to represent all the royal families in the world. And Mr. Gongsun's reputation today is enough to deter all literati and those with ill intentions. ”

Cao Cao put away his uninhibited smile. nodded solemnly with a solemn face: "If you can invite Mr. Langya Jun and Mr. Gongsun Botao, everything will be worry-free, even the next succession will be much smoother!" ”

Liu Cun completely relieved: "Okay, let's go to the front hall first, I will go to the backyard to respectfully invite Mr. Langyajun and Mr. Botao, today's topic needs to focus on these three themes: first, determine the funeral, name and mausoleum of the young emperor; the second is to agree on the reorganization of the imperial court and the candidates for the three princes and nine secretaries, and then slowly innovate when everything is stable; The third is the legal procedure for succession, as well as the determination of the date and procedure. ”

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. I will not be pedantic enough to resign three times in this matter, at most two resignations will have to be in power, otherwise it will not only be hypocritical, but also cold the hearts of all supporters, and I will not come forward after a while, the front hall is all presided over by you, I will rest in the backyard, and you can come to me at any time if you have something. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Qi and the three respectfully agreed.

Liu Cun's ascension to the throne is already an unstoppable fact, and Liu Cun, who has already established a great prestige and a name of benevolence, will not only quickly win the hearts of the people in the world. And it has enough strength to sweep away all the opposition forces in the world.

Under such a general trend. Zhao Qi and Yang Biao, who had already reached a secret deal with Liu Cun, immediately put themselves in the right position, and even Cao Cao, who had already obtained the promise of the future first minister, did not dare to have the slightest selfish distraction.

The informal meeting of the Dongcheng camp, which included the talents of the Han Dynasty, was held for two days and one night before it was successfully concluded.

Zheng Xuan, the freshly baked Taixue sacrificial wine, and Bing Yuan, the superintendent of the school, were unanimously recommended by all parties, and happily led their disciples and Qin Tianjian to undertake all the funeral matters of the young emperor, as for how to deal with the Langya Academy, the holy land of Confucianism, which is full of Han reputation, it is not a matter that Liu Cun needs to care about.

After reading the resolutions after the meeting, Liu Cun could see at a glance the thoughts of Zheng Xuan's faction - take both fish and bear's paws!

On 15 February, just seven days after the important meeting in Dongcheng Daying, most of the resolutions made at the meeting were implemented quickly and efficiently:

After the joint investigation of more than 40 metaphysical and Confucian celebrities by Zheng Xuan and Qin Tianjian officials, the mausoleum of the young emperor was finally set in the royal garden that had been circled at the southern foot of Pishan Mountain;

Secondly, Liu Xi, the monarch of Langya, happily took over the presiding over the funeral ceremony of the young emperor under the expectations of the public, and the time for the golden coffin to be put into the ground was set on February 27, the day to the spring equinox The gods returned;

After repeated investigation and deliberation, Liu Cun's ascension to the throne was scheduled for the morning of the first day of March, and Liu Cun had no opinion on this.

However, to Liu Cun's consternation and even a little annoyance, the literati led by Zheng Xuan, Zhao Qi and Qin Tianjian gave Liu Cun the name of "Jianwen" after careful and meticulous research and weighing, and the "Jian'an" era name that originally announced the world disappeared due to the death of the young emperor.

If it weren't for Liu Cun's strong opposition, the original "first year of Jian'an" would have become "the first year of Jianwen" since the beginning of March.

Under Liu Cun's strong opposition, arguments and bitter pleas, dozens of Confucian and metaphysical giants, including Gongsun Pei, had to make concessions.

Considering that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not use a specific era name when he ascended the throne and became emperor, everyone no longer formulated a new era name for Liu Cun in accordance with the era name convention opened by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but adopted Liu Cun's righteous and awe-inspiring opinion, and took the first year of Liu Bang's ascension to the throne as the "first year of the Great Han Dynasty", and the era name adopted by Liu Cun after his accession to the throne was set as "three hundred and eighty years of the Great Han Dynasty", and it was fixed in the form of a law, that is, no matter who succeeded to the throne in the future, all the era names used were "Great Han", and so on.

As for the position of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, it had already been in charge at the end of the Dongcheng Daying Conference.

Gongsun Pei, who was unanimously elected as prime minister by all parties and factions, had to reluctantly act for a period of time under Liu Cun's repeated pleas, and Gongsun Pei solemnly announced in front of all the ministers: When the chariot general Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde returned from the west, the transfer of power would be carried out.

The position of Taiwei was obtained by Yang Biao, who had held the position, and the respected Zhao Qi was overwhelmed, and with the tacit approval of Liu Cun and everyone, he recommended Shao, a protégé of the upright and upright, as the imperial doctor.

After the establishment of the three princes of the most prominent positions, the prime minister, the imperial historian and the taiwei, the competition for the position of Jiuqing became more intense.

Considering the smooth transition of the regime, Liu Cun did not make any changes to the titles and scope of duties of the nine secretaries, namely Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Dahonglu, Zongzheng, Dasinong, and Shaofu, except for Liu Ye, who served as Zongzheng, and his henchmen Lu Pei and Cheng Ji, who served as Weiwei and Tingwei respectively, Liu Cun generously distributed the rest of the positions to various factions in the DPRK and China, thus effectively ensuring the stable transition of the regime and the support of all aspects.
