Chapter 325 The Sudden Edict of the First Emperor

The first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, which is the most trouble-prone time in history. However, there is a general Huo Guang sitting in Chang'an, and he has already arranged everything at the first time, until the second day of the Taimiao ancestral worship and the enthronement ceremony held in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there was no accident.

Liu Jin ascended the throne of the Han Emperor in this way solemnly and steadily, although he has been sitting in that position for more than a year, but this time he is really the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he accepted the congratulations of the ministers on the top of the main hall.

Under the leadership of the general Huo Guang, there were thousands of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who appeared in the Weiyang Palace, including the King of Liang and the King of Zichuan who had just entered Chang'an a few hours ago, the two vassal kings surnamed Liu, and the great Honglu Su Wu who returned from the southwest, and the Wanguan Marquis Lu Shu who returned from Youzhou, and a solemn enthronement ceremony lasted for most of the day.

The first thing the new emperor did when he ascended the throne was to determine the temple number and the name of the first emperor, which was regarded as the final conclusion of the first emperor's coffin. However, the Western Han Dynasty's temple name was the most cautious period in the entire Chinese history. Because it is too cautious and cannot be obtained without great merit, not every emperor of the Western Han Dynasty is qualified to have a temple number, even Liu Che's father, Emperor Jing, who can be called the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty, has not been able to enjoy the temple number, which can be seen.

The nickname of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had actually been circulated in a small area before he died, but this spread became the biggest secret in the world, not only did few people know it, but everyone who knew it was secret. The Western Han Dynasty implemented the national policy of ruling the world with filial piety, which has never changed in the Western Han Dynasty, from the emperor after Liu Bang, after his death, the name was crowned with the word filial piety, and Liu Che's name was filial piety, which has long been determined, and this nickname was soon adopted in the court.

The next most solemn and difficult issue is the temple number. It is certain that Liu Che's deeds enjoy a separate temple number, but in the ancient law, only the four words Tai, Gao, Shi, and Zhong are available, and in accordance with the standard of 'ancestors have merit, and ancestors have virtues', they can only form eight temple numbers at most. And Liu Bang has already occupied the Taizu temple number, and Liu Heng has occupied the Taizong temple number, and the temple number at the beginning of the Taizi character is completely unusable, and Liu Che's temple number can only be selected in the remaining world, high, middle, and three words.

Originally, Gao represented high merit, and Zu also represented high merit, and the temple name of Gao Zu was actually the most suitable for Liu Che. However, in the Western Han Dynasty, due to Liu Bang's relationship, the temple name Gaozu could not be used. Because Liu Bang's nickname is Emperor Gao, and there is no word 'Gao' in the original law, but at that time, in order to reflect Liu Bang's special and great cause, he was given the title of Emperor Gao who did not respect the law, and later the world habitually combined his temple name with his name and called him Emperor Gaozu.

In this way, the temple number that is most in line with Liu Che cannot be used, and there is also an endless debate in the court for a while. And the focus of the controversy fell on whether it was Liu Che's ancestor or the temple number of Sejong?

"The temple name of Shizu is not suitable, Shang has Pan Geng moved to Yin, and reopened the prosperous era of Yin Shang, so it is Shizu. The great achievements of the present emperor in his life are to bring the Han Dynasty to a higher level, and I think it will be determined as Sejong. In the end, Huo Guang decisively determined that the temple number of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Sejong.

The temple name of Shizu is generally the lord of Zhongxing, and the Han Dynasty has always maintained a unified state during Liu Che's reign, so this temple name is not suitable for him, and the reason is more convincing.

The temple number was determined, and the matter about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty basically came to an end. As for Liu Che's burial, it will take a long time to wait for the funeral, because once he has to set up a mourning hall for Liu Che to enter the funeral, wait for the kings surnamed Liu of the Han Dynasty to come to Chang'an to worship, and at the same time, he will also have to do the final repair and inspection of the Maoling Underground Palace, and he will not be really buried until everything is in order.

As long as it is not an extraordinary period of national turmoil, in fact, when the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, those feudal kings all went to Chang'an to worship. First, it is to respect the first emperor, and it is also to meet the new emperor and recognize the legitimacy of the new emperor.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were still good regulations for the princes and kings to regularly go to Chang'an to worship and report on their work, such as the requirement in the 'Spring Dynasty' every spring, the princes and kings must personally go to Chang'an to accept the emperor's inquiry. Except for being too old and not being used by the emperor's special decree, everything else must follow this rule, and every autumn it is necessary to send a minister of the kingdom to act as the 'autumn dynasty'.

This time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, and more than a dozen kings surnamed Liu, large and small, would come to Chang'an, and those who were closer would be able to arrive in about three or five days. At this time, there were more than 100,000 troops around Chang'an, and these kings were just mourning, and the number of retinues was extremely strictly limited, so they naturally would not become any unstable factors.

In fact, since the Grace Decree, the Western Han Dynasty has embarked on a very good path under the system of feudal states and counties in parallel. This path has allowed the country to maintain a good centralization of power without overpowering the local authorities. It's just that every emperor of this dynasty will reuse his relatives, and the dictatorship of his relatives has become the biggest drawback of this empire.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, there is another very important thing, which is to reward meritorious heroes and establish a new government team. Liu Jin also basically followed the arrangement of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty this time, and arranged Shangguan Ji, Zhang Anshi, Jin Riyan and others in important positions, and even Huo Yan became one of the guards of the Nine Qings, and Bingji also became the court captain.

And Huo Guang was already the general of the Great Sima, and he could not go further in his official position, so Liu Jin directly added 10,000 food yi for him, and the overall food yi reached more than 16,000 households. And because Huo Guang did not have the intention of setting up a prime minister, the position of the head of the three princes is still vacant, so Sang Hongyang, who also has great merit, cannot go further in his official position, and he can only increase the number of food, but not as much as Huo Guang, but it has also increased by 8,000 households, and it is about to reach 10,000 households.

In addition, there are two rewards that are being awarded at the same time, that is, the king of Liang and the king of Zichuan. Because Liu Xiang, the king of Liang, contributed a lot, and was the main force and commander on the battlefield of Youzhou, Liu Jin increased the fief of Liang after consulting with Huo Guang, so that his already large feudal country added another county and more than ten cities. And Liu Kang, the king of Zichuan, for the same reason, but his contribution and merit were different, and the increased fiefdom was not as much as that of Liang State, but he also added five cities.

So far, the Liang State and the Zichuan State have become the princes and kings who have increased the fiefdom of the kingdom for the first time since the Tui En Order.

In addition to the rewards of the courtiers and the clan, Liu Jin also canonized Wang Weng Xu as the queen, but did not canonize Liu Xun as the crown prince, perhaps because Liu Jin felt that he was still young, and Liu Xun was too young, so he temporarily vacated the position of prince.

Finally, there is a canonization, which is also the most important reward after Liu Jin ascended the throne, and it is also a canonization that surprises everyone.

This canonization is about Liu Xijun, the princess of Jiangdu, and Liu Jin actually directly canonized this princess who is not a relative of the emperor as the eldest princess.

You must know that in the Western Han Dynasty, the eldest princess was not a title, but a real title, and her position was the same as that of the princes and kings. In the 100 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have only been two people who have really won the title of eldest princess so far. One is the eldest princess of Pingyang, who has gone through three dynasties, the concubine of Emperor Wen, the half-sister of Emperor Jing, the aunt of Emperor Wu and her mother-in-law, and the other is the famous princess of Pingyang.

Whether it is Guantao or Pingyang, they are all powerful in the world when they were born, and they are extremely grieved after death, but these two were named the eldest princess after they got married, but Liu Xijun, the princess of Jiangdu, is already the eldest princess before she got married.

Perhaps it is precisely because Liu Jin's close relatives no longer exist that he cherishes his sister-brother relationship with Liu Xijun very much. Such a reward is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

The next half month of Chang'an City was spent in busyness and calm, and Huo Guang was exceptionally idle in this half month, but because he was still in the mourning period of the first emperor, all entertainment was banned, and Huo Guang could only stay in the house with nothing to do.

During this period, Huo Guang met several times with Liu Xiang, the king of Liang, and Liu Kang, the king of Zichuan, for these two former allies, there was no conflict of interest between them and Huo Guang, plus Liu Xiang had also had contacts with Huo Guang, and Liu Kang also regarded Huo Guang as a teacher, so they still got along well.

In the following period, the vassal kings of all walks of life arrived in Chang'an one after another, and these kings surnamed Liu chose to visit Huo Guang as soon as possible, in addition to meeting the emperor first. For a while, Huo Guang was busy again, but this busyness became ushering in, and the kings of the Han Dynasty were also recognized by Huo Guang one by one.

Soon it was finally the day when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was buried. On this day, the whole Chang'an was silent, but there was no north wind howling, and there was no heaven and earth with sorrow, lightning and thunder.

On this day, the wind and sun of Chang'an are beautiful, the sun shines in every corner of Chang'an City, and the breeze caresses Chang'an City, it seems that this is a rare good day in the year, and it is suitable for going out. And on this day, Chang'an is indeed empty, the new Han Emperor Liu Jin, the leader in front of the guide, followed by the coffin of the first emperor, the general on both sides of the coffin and the imperial historian personally supported the coffin, followed by the kings surnamed Liu of the Han Dynasty, and then followed by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. Then tens of thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands of foot soldiers holding spirit flags, and the funeral procession stretched for dozens of miles.

On both sides of the road from Chang'an to Maoling, Chang'an and the people along the way knelt down and worshipped, and the sound of sorrow was endless. There are also a large number of worshippers singing elegy around the coffin, and the sound is poignant and melodious, both the lyrical aria of Chu Ci and the grandeur of Han Fu.

The funeral process of the emperor was complicated and long, from leaving Chang'an City to finally sealing the imperial tomb, it lasted for several days, and everyone including the new emperor Liu Jin temporarily lived in Maoling for several days. At the same time, the subjects of all parts of the Han Dynasty also mourned the whole country under the leadership of the local officials, and carried out the so-called 'looking at the capital and crying'.

In front of the Maoling Underground Palace, a sacrificial text written by Sima Qian himself was slowly recited by the new emperor Liu Jin, and then the Maoling Underground Palace began to close the underground palace and backfill the soil. At this time, Liu Che, a generation of heroes, really bid farewell to the stage of history, and then all the mourners returned to Chang'an under the leadership of the new emperor.

Huo Guang was the last to leave Maoling, and looking at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who had already entered the ground, Huo Guang also had mixed feelings in his heart. At this time, the bits and pieces of the years were constantly repeated in Huo Guang's mind.

From the first time he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Ganquan Palace, Huo Guang was trembling at that time, and he was even more in awe of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was high above at that time, was also like a god in Huo Guang's heart.

Then Huo Guang learned more and more about this emperor, and with his own expedition to the north and south, he not only saw the eloquence of a generation of heroes, but also saw the human side that was not recorded in his history books.

Later, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to face Huo Guanglai, and the two began to tacitly fight, and the monarchs and ministers secretly fought with each other, both swords and swords, and sympathy for each other.

In the end, there were internal and external troubles, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was in trouble, chose to compromise with Huo Guang. And from that moment on, Huo Guang completely regarded Emperor Wu of Han as an ordinary person, a person with weaknesses and emotions!

On the third day after the funeral of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large court meeting was held for the first time in the Weiyang Palace. This time, not only the civil and military forces of the Chang'an Manchu Dynasty, but also more than a dozen kings surnamed Liu also attended. The kings naturally sat above all the courtiers, and after this court meeting, it was time for these mourning kings surnamed Liu to return to their fiefdoms.

The symbolism of this court meeting is greater than the practical significance, and the topic at the beginning is naturally to praise the achievements of the first emperor, and then to encourage the kings and ministers, hoping that everyone will work together to assist the new emperor and make the Han more brilliant.

The kings surnamed Liu and the courtiers were naturally very cooperative, and then because the kings surnamed Liu were about to return to the fiefdom, the emperor, as the master, would have a routine reward before these clans were about to leave Chang'an. For the rewards of the kings surnamed Liu, most of them are some ritual weapons, such as the king of Liang and the king of Zichuan, who are meritorious and close to the Son of Heaven, and the emperor Liu Jin directly gave the Son of Heaven the banner. Other kings gave scepters, or gifted bells, and the like.

The whole process of rewarding lasted for half an hour, and when all the rewards were over, everyone thought that today's court meeting should be over. But at this moment, an unexpected accident suddenly appeared.

"Zong Zhengqing's visit" When Liu Jin was about to say the words "retreat from the dynasty", an attendant outside the main hall of Weiyang Palace suddenly shouted, and the voice entered the hall, making everyone frown.

The old Zongzheng Liu Anguo, now has an outrageous seniority, because he is the imperial uncle of the first emperor, and the current emperor doesn't know how to call this old man of the clan. And his position in the royal family has long been unmatched, as early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Anguo had the right not to go to the court, but he has always occupied the position of Zong Zhengqing, as long as he does not die, no one is qualified to take over this position.

As the voice of the inner attendant sounded, everyone turned their heads to look outside the hall, only to see Liu Anguo walking slowly towards the hall with the support of the two inner attendants, holding a golden scepter.

Today, Liu Anguo wore a very grand dress, and the golden scepter given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also taken out by him. When the courtiers saw the golden scepter in Liu Anguo's hand, many of them looked thoughtful. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Liu Anguo a golden scepter many years ago, but this old Zongzheng is also a low-key person, and he has never revealed this thing in front of people, but I don't know why he came to the court meeting so solemnly with the things given by the first emperor today, or came at the end of the court meeting.

Liu Anguo walked very slowly, so slow that everyone's eyes followed him. Seeing Liu Anguo enter the palace, Liu Jin instructed the attendant beside him: "Give a seat to Lao Zongzheng." ”

Soon Liu Anguo was supported to the position above the kings surnamed Liu, although the old lord of the clan is not high, but he can't stand the high seniority, even if these kings surnamed Liu, the oldest and the highest, they have to call Liu Anguo an imperial uncle.

Liu Anguo came to the top of the main hall, and his eyes swept over these kings surnamed Liu, each of whom he could name and even tell their deeds from childhood to adulthood, because the canonization of these people could not avoid him, the sect.

"I've seen Lao Zongzheng!" The kings surnamed Liu got up one after another, bowed down to Liu Anguo, in this period of governing the country with filial piety, the kings also had to pay homage to the younger generations first.

"It's all here, it's good to come, the first emperor once said to me, when the kings were about to leave Chang'an, he ordered the old ministers to read out the last edict of the first emperor, now please Your Majesty and you to receive the decree," Liu Anguo glanced at the kings, and finally his eyes fell on the new emperor Liu Jin on the imperial steps. As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of brocade from his sleeve, which turned out to be the last edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

No one expected that after the burial of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Anguo, the elder of the clan, was also arranged to read out the edict at such a special time, and the content of this so-called edict made everyone even more curious.

As soon as he heard that it was the edict of the first emperor, Liu Jin also solemnly walked down the imperial steps and stood in front of Liu Anguo. At the same time, the kings surnamed Liu also bowed down, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty got up one after another.

Liu Anguo saw that the people in the hall were ready, so he slowly opened the brocade. At this moment, his face also showed anticipation and curiosity, because even he didn't know the content of this edict?
