On September 16 of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, it was once again reported that the Son of Heaven was critically ill in Weiyang Palace.

With the best efforts of the doctors, he finally brought back the life of the Son of Heaven before the ghost gate closed.

But everyone knows that the Son of Heaven has few days to live.

After being in a coma for three days and three nights, the seriously ill Son of Heaven miraculously woke up, cheered up and sat up and appeared at the Weiyang Palace court meeting.

The Baiguan Gongqing looked at the skinny appearance of the Supreme Emperor of the People, and his feelings were complicated.

After all, the monarch and the minister have been together for fifteen years, and there is always a feeling for getting along day and night, and suddenly I saw that the high-spirited Son of Heaven a year ago was terminally ill, and there was a little bit of sadness for no reason.

The Empress Dowager Dou of Changxin Palace's "No Mistake", and the queen of Jiaofang Palace also came to the scene, and the two most noble women in the world watched their sons and husbands gradually come to the end of their lives, and their faces were full of reluctance and helplessness.

Below the sky, all beings are equal.

The seriously ill Son of Heaven's face was unusually ruddy: "Gu Liyun, the crown ceremony can be carried out at the age of twenty, the crown prince's new year teeth should not be crowned in advance, but my body is no longer allowed to wait until the day when the prince turns twenty years old, so I took advantage of the fact that I still had a breath to convene hundreds of officials and ministers to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony for the prince." ”

"Your Majesty, please cherish your body!"

"Majesty!"

A handful of old ministers all knelt down and saluted, regardless of whether the Son of Heaven had a good or bad attitude towards them. Faced with the great march of the king, he chose to give up the prejudice in his heart.

In any case, he is the emperor after all, and after all, every bureaucrat has sincerely followed him for fifteen years, and the credit of the Son of Heaven is worthy of recognition after all.

The Son of Heaven sighed and did not respond to the weeping old ministers. He had a lot to say in his heart but couldn't say it, and instructed the ministers to faithfully assist the prince, and admonished the prince to treat important ministers with a cautious and humble heart, attach importance to the opinions of those who have merit, respect traditions, protect the system, and love the people. Lightly pay taxes and forgive the poor man who is guilty of negligence, and every one of the above things can be told for three days and three nights.

But he didn't have that much time. For the terminally ill emperor, the most worrying thing is the stability of the empire's inheritance, followed by the praise and evaluation of the reputation and honor of the Son of Heaven after his death, and the third is the stability of the imperial political system from collapsing.

These are three important things. He should have told him a long time ago. Every minister has been summoned by him, and the political talents of every 2,000-stone county guard have been observed by him in the form of a twist and turn, which minister can be reused, which can be postponed and reused, and which one is resolutely not used has been explained to the crown prince Liu Che, he can't worry about the future, he feels that he can calmly face his grandfather and father in the kingdom of heaven.

The crown ceremony ended smoothly under the auspices of Taichangli Pengzu, and the Son of Heaven held up a crown that symbolized adulthood and placed it on the crown prince's head. silently announced to the world that the crown prince Liu Che will become an adult from now on. From an underage prince to an adult prince who is ready to take over at any time.

The queen mother of the two palaces did not say a word throughout the whole process, silently watching the two men complete the final inheritance of power, they knew that the supreme power of the empire had been quietly transferred to the young prince, and the Son of Heaven also put down his mind as if he had thrown off the burden, showing a faint smile.

The inheritance of imperial power is always accompanied by bloody rain, and the wonderful power does not know how many fathers and sons turn against each other and brothers into enemies, the Son of Heaven is glad for this, his two brothers Liu Yi of Liang Huai and Liu Wu of Liang Xiao have never really threatened the imperial power, and the abolished prince Liu Rong has never been a qualified prince in his mind, only the youngest son Liu Che in front of him makes him feel extremely satisfied.

The Son of Heaven pressed his hands on his son's shoulders and said with all his strength: "Che'er, there is only so much to do for your father, I sincerely hope that you can be a benevolent monarch who cares about all the people, a virtuous monarch who can accommodate the generals, a wise monarch who is good at accepting advice, a promising monarch who is determined to expand the territory, a gentleman who knows the gains and losses and does not care about the previous suspicions, inherits the best part of Taizu, Taizong and me, and fights for the eternal foundation of the Han Empire!" Unless one day you fall like me, you must not slack off! Do you understand? ”。

"Understood!" Liu Cheqiang said with tears in his eyes.

The Son of Heaven looked disappointed, and the promised one simply proved that he did not go to his heart, and he had to continue: "The rules set by Taizu must be strictly observed, the laws and decrees set by Taizong cannot be changed, and the promises I made are conscientiously implemented, and the teachings left by each emperor before his death are the precious wealth of the successor to the monarch, you must engrave all this order, oath and covenant in the stele forest in the temple, on the stone walls on both sides of the Weiyang Palace, always be vigilant and attentive, as long as you remember that the system of the Han family does not collapse, there will be no doom of the death of Qin, If you forget one day and think that my teachings are not important, the bad luck will not be far from the Han family. ”

"Father, the child must abide by your teachings, and will never be discounted!"

"Nope! You don't know how difficult it is to follow these teachings, when you become the emperor, you will be very uncomfortable, the old ministers in the court are all useful ministers who follow the rules, they can ensure the stable operation of the system in their positions, once they leave their positions and replace them with the young courtiers you like, they will think about making a difference after taking over, and if you want to do something, you will have the power to interfere with the ancestral system, what should you do at this time? Listening to my teachings makes you very uncomfortable, if you don't listen to my teachings, the Han system will be corrupted by the new ministers sooner or later, and the new monarch has to be promising is these two dilemmas, I also faced such a problem at the beginning, so I have been proud of the power of the domain for more than ten years, and I only regret that I was reckless until today. ”

Liu Che began to hesitate, he understood that his father's words were not false, a few years ago he still remembered his father's proud appearance, at that time it was clear that he was a promising emperor who was full of ambition to seize power, even if the ancestral system was still Huang Lao Wuwei, how could he hinder an emperor who vowed to be promising.

After a few years, his father's originally round and plump cheeks sunken, wrinkles crept all over his forehead, and his confident gaze transformed into the vicissitudes of the world, as well as the deep contemplation that penetrated everything in the world. The black hair turned into white mottled, from a promising emperor in the prime of life to an elderly emperor in the twilight.

Liu Che was very scared, and one day he would be like his father. With wrinkles on his face and a body of illness, he grabbed his child's hand and did not let go, that look was not only the father's pure teaching to his son, but also the father's last plea before he died.

Seeing that his son finally revealed complicated feelings, there was nervousness, fear, expectation and persistence that did not admit defeat, after all, he was the prince he cultivated since childhood, and the Son of Heaven knew his son's character traits very well. Inheriting the excellent characteristics of the imperial family, of course, there are also the characteristics of being mean and unkind, and the Son of Heaven is most worried that his son will follow his old path. He himself is bent on going on, if it weren't for this serious illness that killed him, he would have persevered.

Because of the fear of restrictions, the Son of Heaven secretly sighed that it was not easy for him to make his own decisions. But for the sake of the Han family, he must make his son's life uncomfortable. Compared with the personal senses of the foundation of the country is secondary, at this moment the Son of Heaven finally realized the mentality of the White Horse Oath before the death of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the people's hearts are unpredictable, loyalty is not credible, only from top to bottom refers to the heavenly poison oath, and the Huanghuang Tianwei can be supervised, and the oath is sometimes more reliable than the law.

The Son of Heaven let go of Liu Che's arm, let out a long breath as if he had lost his strength, and cheered up for a long time and sang Chu Ge: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Weijia has returned to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors of Ande are guarding the Quartet! I also wanted to return to the land of the Han family in my lifetime to have a look. It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

On the third day after the crown ceremony, on September 19 of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven was once again critically ill and was barely rescued in the anxious waiting of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, but the Son of Heaven himself was always struggling in a coma and high fever.

In the next seven days, the hearts of the entire Chang'an and even the whole world were touched, and the condition of the Son of Heaven was as thrilling as a roller coaster after several repetitions.

Empress Dowager Dou sat in the greenhouse hall every morning, grabbed the hand of the Son of Heaven and did not let go, the queen was even more undressed and served beside her, the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven did not fit her eyes for a few days and nights, and when she was tired, she lay outside the hall and was taken care of by the palace maid to take a nap for a while, and she woke up immediately when she heard the movement inside.

Liu Che stayed by the side of the Son of Heaven and sang with tears streaming down his face: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!" Father......

The body of the Son of Heaven in a coma trembled, and he suddenly let out a long breath, tilted his head to the right, and the last trace of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Father!"

A terrible cry broke the long night, and the moment before the sky was white, the Son of Heaven died!

Knock knock knock......

When the dull bell rang, people woke up from their sleep, carefully counted the number of bells, and when it was determined that the bell was ringing, Chang'an Shimin knew that the Son of Heaven was dead.

As soon as the sky dawned, the prince appeared in front of the hundred officials in a white filial piety suit, and the hundred officials and ministers were all plain white robes, and the crying of grief was endless, no one would jump out at this moment to blame the hundred officials for violating etiquette, and it was the great righteousness of the ancients to cry when the monarch died, otherwise Uncle Tian died for Zhang Ao, and Luan Bu cried for Peng Yue, how could it become a righteous thing for the ages.

Just when the ministers wept bitterly, Cao Shi walked out of the queue proudly, and said with a wave of his sleeves: "The death of the Son of Heaven is the great misfortune of the Han family, the great misfortune of the 36 million Han people, according to the etiquette system, he should have dropped out of the dynasty for three months to mourn the Son of Heaven, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers have the courage to ask the prince to ascend the throne and be crowned, and then bury the first emperor with the ceremony of the new king!" ”

Wei Juan secretly gritted his teeth and was preempted by this kid, and hurriedly said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Minister's support!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Hundreds of officials and ministers have expressed their opinions, no one who is not open-eyed dares to find fault, unless he is tired of life and wants to die.

Liu Che was very sad, he should have been a very happy day, but he couldn't laugh at this moment anyway, he caught a glimpse of the comforting eyes that his brother-in-law Cao Shi handed him, took a deep breath and said: "My father is newly deceased, I am a filial son and should keep filial piety for three years, but the Han family can't be without a monarch for three years, I must take over the burden given to me by my father, please give me a helping hand!" ”

"Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty!"

Liu Che calmly accepted the big salute and paid homage, the ceremonial officer held the black and red crown robe of the Son of Heaven and walked slowly, the sound of the ritual music that should have sounded was silent during the funeral, and the three princes and nine kings watched closely as the young man took off the prince's robe and changed into a crown dress representing the Son of Heaven, and from then on he was the new emperor of the Han family.

Cao Shi once again listed: "Ascending the throne as the emperor, the important thing is to mourn, and then the first emperor should discuss the name and temple number, the first emperor has worked hard for fifteen years, making the grain in the treasury red rot and inedible, the rope of the coin is rotten and scattered everywhere, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the population has increased significantly, and the foundation of the ancestor and Taizong has been carried forward, and it is not possible to discuss it." ”

"The minister agrees with Shaofu's view, the first emperor has a high merit, and he should be praised for it." Too often, Li Pengzu hesitated and didn't mention the temple number.

Every emperor has a nickname, whether it is praise, plain, derogatory, in short, an emperor will have, the level of the name depends on the specific achievements, Liu Bang is the founding emperor of the country, the name of the emperor is high, on behalf of his merit evaluation can only be described by a "high" word, the name of the filial piety emperor is Hui is also OK, the deposed former young emperor and the later young emperor do not recognize him can also not mention him, Liu Heng is the longest reign since the founding of the country, the most effective governance of the country and the most praised emperor, the name is the text, proving that the world's evaluation of him is very good.

The temple number is another thing, since the founding of the country, the first emperor who died was recognized as only four emperors, in addition to the filial piety emperor Liu Yingxu died of illness at the age of twenty-three without a temple number, the two abolished young emperors did not have a temple number, only Taizu Liu Bang, Taizong Liu Heng, the probability of going out of the temple number seems very high at first glance, in fact, the conditions for granting the temple number are very harsh, in the early Han Dynasty when the bureaucrats maintained a good temperament, too often felt that the emperor was unreliable and could not give the temple number, this was not discussed.

Liu Che's eyes were fixed on him, too often Li Peng Zu felt a lot of pressure, his body was not very good, he had been working with illness for a long time, and his body was very weak recently, so he and the new emperor had to resist and not give the first emperor a temple number, he was not sure in his heart.

In the face of the tremendous pressure projected by the Son of Heaven, Li Pengzu made an unexpected decision: "Your Majesty, the minister has been the emperor for many years with a sick body, and now Chen's body is old and unbearable, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, so I implore Your Majesty to ask the minister to return to his hometown!" ”

Liu Che was slightly surprised, on the first day of his tenure, he met Jiuqing resigning, looking at the old man's white and trembling appearance, he felt pity for the old man's spirit of working hard for the Han family at a great age, and nodded and allowed him to resign.

Li Pengzu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to worry about the temple number of the first emperor.

Too often there is no one, the matter of the temple number will be put on hold for the time being, the body of the first emperor is still displayed in the greenhouse hall and has not been moved, how can Liu Che let the highest ceremonial official in charge of ceremonial funeral be vacant, and immediately pointed to the people in Jiuqing and shouted: "It's you, Bai Zhihou Xuchang is transferred to Taichang." ”

Xu Chang was overjoyed, he was too often more popular than Wei Wei, and he didn't have to look at the palace all day long, and the etiquette in charge had a very high status in Jiuqing, so he hurriedly saluted: "The minister obeys the will!" ”

"And you, Wuqiang Marquis Zhuang Qingzhai as the captain!"

Yu Qingzhai almost jumped up with joy, and was suddenly promoted to Jiuqing in the middle of the two thousand stones, even if the status is the last in the Jiuqing, he is also very happy, Bai Zhihou Xuchang is more than ten years older than him, and the old man who is almost fifty years old is too often, in comparison, he is only in his thirties and jumped to Jiuqing, and he is definitely the best in the liehou.

Liu Che waved his sleeves and said: "Taichang did his best to set the temple number and the name of the first emperor, and during the funeral, the hundred officials and ministers performed their duties, and they must not slack off!" ”

Cao Shi slowly saluted with the courtiers' procession, and quietly gave Liu Che a thumbs up: "Good job!" (To be continued......)
