Chapter 0273 Make the Yellow River Like a Belt, Mount Tai Like a Force...
Time flashed, it was the beginning of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, winter and November.
Outside the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace, a grand ceremony officially began with the figure of Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, appearing on the high platform.
After nearly a month, I was able to see Liu Bang's still healthy posture again, and the courtiers, officials, and nobles gathered under the altar felt a little relieved.
But when the old voice of Liu Bang, the son of heaven, was transmitted to the ears by the row of huge copper 'trumpets', everyone couldn't help but stop their waists, pricked up their ears, and quietly listened to the commandments of the Son of Heaven.
"Since the death of the king of Qin, Zhao Gao and Li Si usurped the edict of the king, killed the Qin general Meng Tian and Gongzi Fusu, and made the second Hu Hai stand, and it has been fifteen years······"
made the opening remarks in a calm tone, and the face of Liu Bang, the son of heaven, was full of feelings and sighs.
"Wang Zhengxu and the second stand, the Qin court has no way, Zhao Gao and Li Si are in power; The second is tyrannical, the world is full of mourning, and the people are not living ······"
"Chen She, the hidden king, rose up in Daze, the heroes of the world suddenly came out of recklessness, the righteous army rose in the world, Qin lost his Tianlu, and was spit on by all the people in the world."
"Fortunately, I got the body of cloth, and was appointed by heaven to prosper the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and was rich and jealous of Qin violence, and was protected by the ancestors and favored by the gods, and finally won Wang Hanzhong, and kept a peaceful ······"
"Later, the kings of the three Qin had no way, and I rose again in Hanzhong and returned to the three Qins, and the soldiers sent out the letter valley and combined the power of the princes, in order to destroy the evil king Xiang Ji who claimed to be the 'overlord'; after six years of hard fighting, the battle of size and victory and defeat was not calculated, and finally the Xiang Xiang was killed in the ······ of the Xia"
Speaking of this slowly, the Son of Heaven smiled and looked around the square, but in his eyes, there was a breathtaking sharpness.
"I once made a promise: those who behead the members of the battle will be rewarded with thousands of gold, and ten thousand households will be sealed."
"At the end of the battle, Yang Wu in Langzhong and Yang Xi in Langzhong rode Yang Xi, each of them got the left and right shares of the item, and was awarded the Marquis of Wufang and the Marquis of Chiquan······"
"Langzhong Lu Sheng, riding Sima Lu Ma Tong, each won the left and right arms, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Nieyang and Marquis of Zhongshui······"
"Lang Zhong rode Wang Peng, won the first rank of the title, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Du Yan······"
"Five people, each of whom was given two hundred gold, and nearly two thousand households each, went straight to the rank of the Marquis of Han Che from two hundred stones······"
Listening to Liu Bang's meaningful words, and being swept by Liu Bang's sharp gaze, everyone present only lowered their heads in shame.
I saw Liu Bang smiling slightly, but he couldn't hear even the slightest smile in his tone.
"At that time, I thought that if Xiang died in Wujiang, the world would be safe!"
"How did I expect that Xiang died in Wujiang so far, and there are more than seven years; However, I thought I was the king of the world, but I couldn't be at peace for a moment, running around the Kanto region day and night, and quelling the rebellion of the thieves······"
As he spoke, Liu Bang turned his head sideways with a miserable smile and looked at Pingyang Hou Cao Shen beside him.
"Rewarding meritorious soldiers, but is it a fallacy?"
After saying that, Liu Bang turned to the other side and looked at Xiao He's figure with his head bowed and his eyes closed, and his hands around his belly.
"Don't hesitate to split the Kanto soil, with Wang Hanxin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, can I have selfishness?"
Regarding Liu Bang's question, Xiao He and Cao Shen, who were standing beside Liu Bang, did not give an answer, but lowered their heads at the same time.
I saw Liu Bang shaking his head bitterly, and then looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
"Since the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the system of sub-sealing has long existed."
"——However, even if Ji Zhou is not all over the clan and the king, there has never been a king with a different surname."
"And the princes who have different surnames and get the king's land, they are also the Tian clan of the Qi Dynasty, the Wei, Han, and Zhao clans of the Jin Dynasty, ······and the three clans of the Jin Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Liu Bang shook his head full of self-reproach, and glanced around the people at the bottom of the long stairs with remorse.
"The key to the division of the seal has been ······concluded since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"The disadvantages of having a different surname and being a king in the world, there were earlier Warring States heroes who took it as a ······"
"How can I do it, I only know that the soldiers will be rewarded for their merits, but I don't know that this move will harm the people of the world······"
"This, all of my faults are ······"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knelt down in unison and kowtowed to Liu Bang on the altar again and again.
"Your Majesty must not blame yourself, this, it is the fault of all ministers!"
"Ministers, they are all farmers in the countryside, and they are fortunate to have the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, so that they can be distinguished today!"
"Your Majesty is so important, and for the people of the world to lose agricultural taxes to support, ministers, etc., should be dutiful to help Your Majesty protect the safety of the community······"
With the background of more than a dozen officials of about 1,000 stones, they said these few words 'It's all our fault' without pain, and this political show has also kicked off since then.
The Qianshi level has been played, and now there are only a few Jiuqing in the court, and they are not willing to be lonely.
"Your Majesty~"
Seeing that Shaofu Yangchengyan took the lead, kneeling and taking two steps forward, he bowed to Liu Bang with tears in his eyes.
"Your Majesty······"
"The minister's Qin military craftsman, the rank is only 200 stones, fortunately His Majesty's trust, so that he can now live in the Han Jiuqing's respect, and eat 2,000 ······stones."
"Your Majesty is so hearted, and the minister should spare no effort to repay His Majesty's kindness eleventh!"
"However, when he was more than ten years old, the minister could be said to have achieved nothing, and he repeatedly humiliated His Majesty, and even caused the treasury to be empty, and the imperial capital was Chang'an! So far, it is not only bricks and tiles······"
"This, the sin of the ministers is also ······"
Seeing that Yang Chengyan came out first, everyone around him was only stunned for a moment, and then they all lowered their heads in unison.
It's just that everyone is in their hearts, Shaofu Qingyang Chengyan has an impression of 'not so honest and honest'.
After the extension of Yangcheng, the huge square fell into a brief silence.
It's no wonder that others, it's really the Han family today, and there are too many vacancies at the Jiuqing level······
Except for the Shaofu Qingyang Chengyan, who has already 'appeared on the stage', the remaining eight positions in Jiuqing, now only the two positions of Taifu and Lang Zhongling are not vacant!
First of all, Zongzheng, due to the withering of the clan and the fact that there is no suitable candidate, it has been idle since the Han Dynasty;
This was followed by the internal history that had not been appointed for a long time because 'the Kanto region was a vassal state';
Then, after the death of the Emperor Taishang last year, Sun Tong, the old Confucian uncle who temporarily relieved the burden of 'Fengchang' because he was appointed as Liu Ying's crown prince and concubine;
In addition, the former Weiwei Lishang, due to the rebellion of Huainan Wang Yingbu, was temporarily worshiped by Liu Bang, the son of heaven, as the right minister; Now that the chaos is peaceful, although Li Shang's position of 'Right Xiangguo' is automatically invalid, before Liu Bang, the son of heaven, speaks, the position of Wei Wei cannot automatically fall back to Li Shang's head;
Li Shang is still like this, in last year's rebellion of the acting prime minister Chen Xuan, the public who stepped down as the court lieutenant because of the 'temporary leadership of Jing Chu's soldiers' is not harmful, and naturally he has to wait for Liu Bang, the son of heaven, to open his mouth before he can get the position of court lieutenant again.
As for the last pawn, let alone appointed, if it weren't for such an occasion, many people in the Chang'an court would not have noticed: Among the nine Qings, there is actually this position?
- No way, it's really that in the past ten years, there have been many princes with different surnames in the Kanto region, and there is really no room for the function of the pawn 'internal princes and diplomatic vassals'······
As for Xiahou Ying, who served as a servant, and Lang Zhongling Wuhu, the head of Liu Bang's personal bodyguard today, it was not that he couldn't speak, but he was not present at all······
As the saying goes: the major events of the country, only Rong and worship!
In such a grand sacrificial ceremony, the duty of the servant Xiahou Ying is to drive the royal chariot for Liu Bang, the son of heaven!
It is not rigorous to say: For Xiahou Ying at this moment, even the safety of Liu Bang, the son of heaven, is theoretically not as important as the imperial chariot!
Therefore, at this moment, Xiahou Ying will inevitably personally look at the imperial chariot outside the officialdom to ensure that this sacrifice will not change due to reasons such as 'frightened horses'.
As for Wu Hu, it is better to understand.
——Now that the guards in charge of the palace guards and the guards responsible for protecting the palace are idle, Lang Zhongling Wuhu must take on the responsibility of defending the palace.
Especially at this moment, when the sacrificial ceremony is being held in Changle Palace, Wu Hu's attention will inevitably be all on the palace wall of Changle Palace.
There were no people in six positions in Jiuqing, and two of the three positions in people were not present, which also made the outside of the Changxin Hall where the sacrifice was taking place fall into a long silence.
The most terrible thing is: even if you skip the first level of Jiuqing and go directly to the three princes to express relief, the embarrassing situation has still not been alleviated.
- The three dukes, the prime minister, the captain, and the imperial doctor.
And in today's Han Dynasty, Taiwei Zhou Bo is still in Handan, besieging Chen Feng together with the Zuo Xiangguo Wuyang Marquis Fan and Qu Reverse Marquis Chen Ping, and then they will go north to attack Yan.
As for the post of Imperial Doctor, it was vacated in advance by Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, because Cao Shen returned to Beijing to prepare for taking over the post of prime minister.
To put it simply: in order to make room for Cao Shen, Liu Bang just dismissed the previous imperial historian Zhao Yao not long ago, but he didn't have time to worship Cao Shen as the imperial historian······
As for Prime Minister Xiao He, he was already seriously ill, forcing Liu Bang, the son of heaven, to recall Cao Shen back to Chang'an and begin to prepare to replace Xiao He.
Today's ceremony, Xiao He can come in person, it is not easy······
There was no one in Jiuqing, there was no one in Sangong, and the sky above the Changxin Hall became more and more silent, which also made Yang Chengyan, who was kneeling in the center of the square, nervous for a while.
- If he didn't know what was going on, Yang Chengyan would probably think that his 'confession' was accepted by the hundreds of people present······
"Father."
Just as Yang Chengyan's tears were a little insufficient, and they all began to think about whether to find a crack in the ground to get into, a loud call sign sounded on the altar.
When Yangcheng Yan raised his head as if he had been amnestied, he saw the crown prince Liu Ying slowly stepping forward, kneeling down in the position of the two departments behind Liu Bang, and kowtowing to Liu Bang with a serious face.
"The son thinks that everything here is not the crime of his father."
"Gain'er tasted it: he has a sharp weapon, and his murderous intent rises."
"The father and the emperor have made meritorious contributions to the king, and they are the king's grace; How could Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and others get Longwangshu, get the favor of their father and emperor without thinking about repaying the favor, and rebel secretly. ”
"This is nothing more than proof that princes with different surnames are not advisable, and people with foreign surnames are not kings!"
Full of determination, he saw Liu Ying straighten up slightly, and continued: "In the past, my father remembered the merits of this generation, and the king of the ripping earth, this is the benevolence of my father. ”
"When this generation has different thoughts, and the father and the emperor raise an army to attack it, this is the power of the father."
"Now, my father takes the plan of the people of the world as his own responsibility, and inherits the weight of the temple and society, which is the letter of my father!"
"Therefore, my son thinks that my father must not add his own body to the sins of his generation."
"Moreover, the sins of this generation also have the responsibility of not investigating the country and failing to share the worries of the king as a minister······"
"If the father wants to add to the sin, he should also add the sin to the son, and not the sin and the ······ of his own body"
Running his brain quickly, piling up the words he could think of, Liu Ying raised her head nervously and looked at her father's moody face.
——Since Yu Fengpei mentioned 'moving Liu Ruyi to be the king of Zhao', for nearly two months, Liu Ying has never been summoned by his father······
In the middle of the court, my father said, 'I'm sick, I want to rest', and he threw it all below, but Liu Ying didn't dare to move.
In addition, most of the key posts in the DPRK and the Central Committee are vacant, and in the past two months, the Marquis of Binh Duong, who is about to take over the responsibility of prime minister, has undoubtedly gone through an extremely difficult 'probationary period'.
But today, Liu Ying can no longer shrink her head, and continues to play the game of 'we are all wooden people, we are not allowed to talk or move' with my father.
This is not only Liu Ying's consideration of the court and the world, but also for the future.
——In the last few months of the old man, Liu Ying still had many things that the old man needed to nod his head to, and even needed to trouble the old man to do it himself······
But when he saw Liu Bang hearing this, he only looked at Liu Ying with deep eyes for a moment, and then turned his head without joy or sorrow.
Then, the voice of the vicissitudes of heaven sounded again in the sky outside the Changxin Palace.
"Kill the horse!"
With an order, the executioner of the priest slammed the giant in his hand to life, and the head of the white horse fell to the ground!
It was also at the same time that the horse's head hit the ground, several dwarfs stepped forward to hold the horse's body, and let the blood flow from the horse's neck into a bronze statue as much as possible.
After dozens of breaths like this, the white horse that lost its head stopped struggling, and the bronze statue full of horse blood was respectfully sent to Liu Bang, the son of heaven, by the priest.
After Liu Bang stretched out his hand, gently dipped his fingers in some horse blood, and painted his lips red, the hundred officials and courtiers under the altar also stepped forward in order, followed Liu Bang's example, and smeared horse blood on their mouths.
What Liu Ying didn't know was that today's scene left the following record in the history books decades later.
——In the winter and November of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Yisi, the emperor beheaded the white horse in the Changle Palace, and made an alliance with the blood of the Marquis of Yuanxun: so that the Yellow River is like a belt, Mount Tai is like a strong, the country will exist forever, and the Miao descendants will be warned; If it is not the Liu family and the king, the world will attack it, and if there is no merit, the world will punish it.
But from her father's reaction, Liu Ying clearly realized: Daddy, he hasn't forgiven himself yet.
To be precise, he hasn't thought about whether he should forgive, or rather, he hasn't thought about whether Liu Ruyi should be transferred to the king of Huainan······
