Luoyang Imperial Palace, early dynasty.

Emperor Liu Xiexan of the Han Dynasty sat tremblingly at the top, looking at Huang Shang standing at the bottom, not knowing what his future fate would be?

The civil and military officials on both sides also looked at Huang Shang with surprised, blank, and thoughtful eyes, with different thoughts.

"This court meeting is to let you know me." Huang Shang said lightly: "My name is Huang Shang, the Huang of Xuanhuang, the noble Shang." This time to exterminate Dong Zhuo, I am not to help the Han family, but to be the emperor myself. After this court meeting, Emperor Xian will be in me, who is in favor? Who is against? ”

Civil and military officials: "......"

If someone else had said this kind of thing, he would have died eight hundred times, but when Huang Shang said this, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up against it.

At this time, the entire palace was surrounded by Huang Shang's soldiers, and whoever dared to oppose it would be dragged down and beheaded on the spot.

Those officials who claimed to be loyal ministers of the Han family usually shouted louder than anyone else, and when they really wanted to pay for their lives, no one stood up to live and die with the Han family.

"Looks like everybody agrees, that's good." Huang Shang said: "In this case, start the Zen ceremony now. In these extraordinary times, everything is simple. Dedicated to the emperor, Zen position! ”

“……”

Emperor Han Xian with tears of humiliation, according to the previous arrangement, read a paragraph of the Han family's immorality, the Liu family is not worthy of being the emperor anymore, today Zen is in Huang Shang and other clichés, and then took off the emperor's crown, took off the crown clothes, gave the throne of the Son of Heaven to Huang Shang, and ran to the next head to stand.

Huang Shang sat on a wooden chair and said, "During the special period, the country name, the year name, etc., will be discussed after the government is stable." But since then, in the last dynasty, all the Qing families have to shout long live, and since then, the Qing family has called me long live, understand? ”

"Hooray, no." Taifu Yuan Kui took the lead in shouting long live, and other officials also shouted long live when they saw this.

Huang Shang nodded with a smile and said, "Mrs. Yuan." ”

"The minister is here." Yuan Kui was listed.

"Now that Dong Zhuo is in ambush, he also asked Mrs. Yuan to write a letter and hand it to his nephew Yuan Shao, so that they can disperse and not raise swords again." Huang Shang said.

Yuan Kui said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Cai Zhonglang."

A Confucian official who was nearly sixty years old came out of the ranks, with a sad face: "The minister is here." ”

Huang Shang looked at this little old man and said, "Why does Cai Zhonglang have a smile on his face?" ”

The little old man said: "Although Dong Zhuo is evil, he has the grace of knowing the minister, and now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the minister can't help but mourn." ”

"Bold!" The servant Wang Yun came out of the ranks, pointed at the little old man's nose and scolded: "Bold Cai Yong!" Dong Zhuo is a heinous person, now he is ambushed, and he should celebrate with the whole world, but you mourn his death, isn't it Dong Zhuo's remnants!? ”

Cai Yong looked at him calmly: "I have a clear conscience." ”

"You-"

"That's enough." Huang Shang said lightly: "Cai Zhonglang is a great Confucian at home, knowing grace and righteousness, although Dong Zhuo is difficult to atone for his sins, he is indeed kind to Cai Zhonglang, and he is just doing his best to lament for him." Cai Zhonglang's heart of kindness and righteousness, I was very happy, and allowed him to lament for Dong Zhuo for three days behind closed doors, and then come to the court three days later, and I have my own explanation. ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opened their eyes and looked at Huang Shang in disbelief.

Cai Yong was even more surprised, and he never dreamed that Huang Shang not only did not blame him, but gave him the opportunity to be fully gracious, which ...... Is this the new Son of Heaven?

Wang Yun didn't expect that he slapped the horse's leg with a sycophant, and in order to make amends, he hurriedly said: "Cai Zhonglang still doesn't thank the emperor." ”

Cai Yong tidied up his clothes and bowed down very formally and respectfully: "Minister Cai Yong, long live your grace." ”

"No courtesy." Huang Shang said: "Now that it is an eventful autumn, you must be attentive to the court, don't be half-hearted, otherwise you will be punished by God, don't say it unexpectedly." ”

“……”

Huang Shang took out a spirit talisman: "All of you swear allegiance to me and my court, and swear to work hard for the peace of the world, political harmony, and equality for everyone. Come, swear! ”

“……”

……

After the next court, as soon as Cai Yong returned home, a 128 beautiful woman greeted him from the back hall: "Father is back." ”

Seeing his daughter with bright eyes and elegant temperament, Cai Yong was in a much better mood: "Hmm." ”

A maid stepped forward to help Cai Yong take off his court clothes and put on loose home clothes, in the process, Cai Yong's daughter said: "Father went to court today, but something big happened?" ”

"It's a big deal." Cai Yong said: "Today's world is no longer a Han world. ”

Cai Yong's daughter's beautiful eyes widened: "What does my father mean?" ”

"It's a different day!"

After some telling, Cai Yong's daughter couldn't calm down for a long time, and she was very afraid: "How can my father grieve Dong Zhuo in the court?" Don't you know that this is the way to die!? ”

"Alas!" Cai Yong sighed: "Being a father is also afraid, but I can't help it, and being a father is just following my heart." ”

"The father has followed his heart, but if the new son of heaven is cruel, will the father leave his daughter alone in the world?" Cai Yong's daughter said with a sad expression.

"Zhao Ji don't cry, isn't it okay to be a father!" Cai Yong comforted repeatedly: "And when today's son is generous, pro-virtuous, and far from the villain, it is the posture of the Ming Jun, and Zhao Ji wants to congratulate the world." ”

"The daughter congratulates the world, but the father ......"

"Hey! How do you talk about fatherhood again? Okay, okay, my father promised you that I wouldn't miss Zhao Ji like this in the future, how about it? ”

Under Cai Yong's appeasement, Cai Zhaoji finally calmed down and said, "In my father's opinion, what kind of person is my son today?" ”

"Well...... Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "Long live him, the posture of a dragon and a phoenix." ”

"Hooray?" Cai Zhaoji was puzzled.

"Long live is the title set by the Son of the Day, replacing the Heavenly Family." Cai Yong said.

Cai Zhaoji nodded: "Father said that the Son of Heaven is a dragon and a phoenix, isn't it very good-looking?" ”

"It's not just good-looking, my father is nearly sixty years old, and I have never seen such a heavenly appearance." Cai Yong sighed repeatedly, telling Huang Shang's appearance, temperament, words and deeds, etc., one by one, Cai Zhaoji's beautiful eyes flashed brightly, and she was about to say it again, when she suddenly heard bursts of thunder, which startled her.

"Yikes! What a big thunder. Cai Zhaoji's face turned pale, and then she heard a burst of thunder, which frightened her and hurriedly covered her ears.

Cai Yong's face changed drastically, and he walked out of the hall and raised his eyes to the sky.

At this time, the sky was obviously a clear sky, but in some directions there was lightning and thunder, and thunder continued to fall from the sky, in addition to the thunder, it was also accompanied by bursts of exclamation and screams of the people of Luoyang.

Soon after, the people on the street spread the news that many civil and military officials were suddenly killed by thunder, and they added fuel to the fire that these officials must have done too many bad things, and God couldn't stand it, so he sent thunder and killed them.

This matter spread with noses and eyes, and frightened many officials who did not make decisions for the people, as well as businessmen who were not benevolent to the rich, turned pale and frightened.

The most feared are actually those officials who participated in today's court meeting but survived.

They all remembered what Huang Shang asked them to swear at the court meeting, when Huang Shang seemed to take out a spirit rune, and when they finished swearing, the spirit rune spontaneously combusted without fire, and finally disappeared.

At that time, they thought it was just the pretending to be a ghost of today's 'puppet emperor', and they didn't pay attention to it at all, but they didn't expect that not long after returning home, there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the sky, and they 'bloomed' everywhere.

They were all stunned, especially when they heard that many of the ministers of the same hall were killed by thunder and lightning, they were directly frightened.

Because even Yuan Kui, Zhang Wen, Wang Yun and other court officials were hacked to death, especially Yuan Kui, who was one of the three dukes, and his nephew Yuan Shao was still the leader of the alliance before the Tiger Prison Pass! But Yuan Kui was killed by thunder like this, but no one found fault with Huang Shang, because he just asked the courtiers to swear allegiance to him and the world, it was they who did not keep the oath, so they would be killed by the thunder, to put it mildly, they deserved it.

For the emperor, it is not a pity for the disloyal ministers to die, not to mention that the Han Dynasty has long established the social foundation of deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism, and paying the most attention to the solidification of classes such as heaven and earth, princes and teachers, in order to strengthen the imperial power.

In this era, perhaps the scholars are about to take off, but for the people of the world, they still recognize the court more. Although Huang Shang replaced the Eastern Han Dynasty, he finally occupied the righteousness of the imperial court, and the civil and military officials personally witnessed the Zen concession ceremony of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

After Cai Yong heard the news, he remembered the scene where Huang Shang asked hundreds of civil and military officials to swear together in the court, and subconsciously felt a chill behind his back, and when he reached out and touched it, it was all cold sweat.

Afraid! The Queen Mother is afraid!

But if he is a little disloyal to Huang Shang, maybe he is one of the people who was killed by thunder.

Lucky!

Fortunately, Cai Yong was worried.

Yuan Kui was slashed to death by thunder, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still outside the Tiger Prison, in case they knew the news of Yuan Kui's death and didn't know what unpredictable things they would do?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Cai Yong immediately called the maid: "Change the court clothes for me!" ”

When Cai Zhaoji heard the news, she immediately rushed to Ke and said, "Father is going to the palace?" ”

"No, you can't go." Cai Yong changed into court clothes under the service of the maid, and sighed: "The world is going to be chaotic." ”

……

In the evening of the same day, Cai Yong entered the palace, and after seeing Huang Shang, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Minister Cai Yong, long live you." ”

Huang Shang sat on the chair and said, "Excuse me, give a seat." ”

"Long live thanks."

Waiting for Cai Yong to sit down, Huang Shangke said: "Cai Zhonglang entered the palace at this time, what happened?" ”

"Long live, Yuan Kui and other important ministers were killed by the thunder." Cai Yong said with a solemn expression.

Huang Shang nodded: "I already know." The reason must have been guessed by Cai Zhonglang. ”

Cai Yong took a deep breath: "The minister is here for this matter. ”

"Oh?"

"Hooray." Cai Yong said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, and at this time, his nephews Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are leading the princes of the Eighteenth Road to attack the Tiger Pass. ”

After listening to him, Huang Shang looked at him, and after a moment, he said, "I heard that Cai Zhonglang has a talented daughter?" ”
