Chapter 0281: New King's Landing

It was half a day and night, and the apse of the Changxin Palace.

Standing in front of a bronze mirror that was much taller than herself, watching Chun Tuo put on the crown of the Son of Heaven for herself, Liu Ying was only at a loss for a while.

Before his father died, the fierce eyes that stared at him still seemed to linger in front of Liu Ying's eyes;

The nine death knells that sounded in the palace room of Changle Palace also seemed to be still lingering in the ears;

Even the tears on Liu Ying's face didn't seem to have dried up.

But this does not affect everything in this world in the slightest, and everything has changed dramatically······

"Your Majesty······"

"The ministers and officials have all gone to the palace to wait for ······"

Chun Tuo's low call finally pulled Liu Ying's scattered thoughts back to his eyes.

Focusing his eyes on the bronze mirror in front of him, looking at the young man in the mirror who was still thin but had already worn the crown of the Twelve Sulfur Heavenly Son on his head, Rao still felt that he couldn't accept all this, and Liu Ying finally had to take a deep breath.

"Whew~"

"You must not be crushed!"

"Stand up ······"

Secretly cheering herself up, Liu Ying finally straightened her spine, turned sideways, and looked at Chuntuo beside her with a solemn face.

"Queen Mother, can you go to the palace?"

·

Walking out of the apse, without waiting for Liu Ying's feet to step down the long steps, a high-pitched chanting sounded next to the hall door.

"From~Drive~~~"

As the singing fell, Liu Ying's attention involuntarily focused on the long steps.

——In the middle of the night, there was still more than an hour before dawn, and the figure of the servant Xiahou Ying appeared outside the Changxin Hall together with the unique Yellow House Zuoxu in the whole world.

Walking down the steps, he looked at Xiahou Ying with a little sadness, and the two monarchs and ministers silently lowered their heads.

When Chuntuo stepped forward, he took down a wooden step from the royal chariot, so that Liu Ying walked smoothly into the carriage, and there was a crisp whip, and the imperial chariot slowly walked towards the main hall that was only a hundred steps away from the apse.

After a while, the imperial chariot stopped outside the main hall, and without waiting for Liu Ying to get off the train, the confessor standing on the side of the carriage cleared his throat again.

"Your Majesty~Down~Driving~Pro~~~"

"Hundred~Official~Gong~Ying~~~~~~"

After a long singing, there was a deep chorus of bows from the ministers and officials.

"Ministers, welcome Your Majesty~"

Hearing the sound, Liu Ying did not poke her head out of the palace stupidly like in the previous life.

I saw that the confessor turned sideways slightly, obviously reporting to Liu Ying, but with that high-pitched and loud voice, it seemed that Liu Ying was a highly hearing-impaired person.

"Ministers and Hundred Officials~Meritorious Marquis~Imperial Relatives ~ Greetings Your Majesty~~~"

At this time, Liu Ying, who was sitting in the imperial chariot, nodded slightly, but still did not get up.

"I bow to the ······"

In this way, Liu Ying said a word, a hundred officials said a word, and let the confessor play the microphone in the middle several times, and this extremely complicated worship was finally over.

After everyone outside the hall thanked him and got up, Liu Ying finally walked out of the imperial chariot, but he didn't stay long, but walked quickly to the phoenix chariot not far away.

"Son, welcome the queen mother."

With just a fluttering word, everyone present, including the confessor who played the role of passing the microphone for a while, suddenly turned strange.

"Your Majesty's move ······"

"What does it mean?"

Full of doubts, he made eye contact with the people next to him, but everyone still couldn't dispel the doubts in their hearts.

- It is true that the death of the Son of Heaven and the succession of the crown prince are indeed the first time in the Han family.

But just from Fang Cai, the extremely complicated 'ceremony' link, in fact, it is not difficult to guess: this set of etiquette is from the hands of the prince and the uncle Sun Tong.

Since it is from the hands of Shusun Tong, it must mean that the entire process today will be carefully planned by Shusun Tong.

For example, from the apse to the front hall, how many feet should be walked, and even how many inches!

For example, when Liu Ying and the ministers answered, what kind of speed should the confessor maintain;

Even, after Liu Ying stepped down from the imperial chariot, how many steps did he have to take to just come to the front of the long steps.

And in such a maddeningly detailed 'self-created ritual method', one that will inevitably not exist is that Liu Ying stepped down from the imperial chariot and later came to Lu Pheasant's phoenix······

"For dozens of days, His Majesty was in the Changxin Palace, sleeping and eating with Emperor Daxing."

"Could it be that this is the dying trust of Emperor Daxing?"

Just when everyone was in their own moods, Lu Pheasant, who was stunned for a moment because of Liu Ying's actions, finally walked down from the phoenix.

But seeing that Lu Pheasant was just about to bend over and salute Liu Ying, who was already the son of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying stepped forward respectfully, bowed down and lowered his eyebrows, held Lu Pheasant's arm with both hands, and slowly walked towards the direction of the main hall.

Seeing this change, even if everyone had doubts, they could only wrap their hands in front of their abdomen, bow their heads and send Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant's mother and son up the long steps.

After a while, a slight reminder came from the imperial steps, and everyone straightened up and seriously tidied up their clothes, and then under the guidance of Prime Minister Xiao He and Imperial Doctor Cao Shen, they entered from the palace gate.

The moment that just happened made everyone feel inexplicably in their hearts: Today, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as 'worshipping the new monarch and taking the right name'······

·

After the participants walked into the Changxin Hall one by one, Liu Ying finally helped her mother Lu Pheasant up the royal stairs and gently sat on the imperial couch.

- According to the "Zhou Li", which has been lost for most of its time, and only vague fragments remain, the new monarch succeeded to the throne when he was not crowned an adult, and he did not have the ability to regent.

In this case, who will temporarily 'replace' the young new monarch to govern the country depends entirely on the edict of the previous emperor.

For example, in the Zhou period, Zhou Gong Ji Dan and Zhao Gong Ji Zheng assisted the young King Cheng and King Kang respectively;

Another example is the Warring States Period, Ying Qin lost three generations of monarchs in succession within four years, and the throne of King Qin fell on the head of Ying Zheng, who was only twelve years old, through the hands of King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, and King Zhuangxiang.

On the occasion of his death, he was worried that Yingzheng would not be able to control the Qin State, so he deliberately left a will, so that Yingzheng's mother Empress Zhao and Prime Minister Lü Buwei were in charge of the great politics of Qin, so that Yingzheng was crowned.

And today's Han family has ushered in the third new monarch since Zhou who 'succeeded to the throne before he was an adult'.

However, before the death of Emperor Liu Bang, he did not clearly specify who would be in charge of state affairs after himself.

In this way, according to the default order of etiquette and the actual situation of the Han family, before the new monarch Liu Ying came of age, Lu Pheasant, who has become, or is about to become the queen mother, should temporarily exercise the power of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, unlike the later generations that 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', the queen mother's regent when the emperor was young and young is not incomprehensible to today's Han family.

On the contrary, the reason why later generations will have 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', especially the saying that the queen mother is not allowed to interfere in politics, I am afraid it is due to the historical Queen of Henkel: Lu Pheasant.

As far as the current Han family is concerned, the queen mother's regent is not a matter of trespassing, let alone sitting on the royal couch.

——Before the Empress Lu in history, the Queen Mother was the same as the Son of Heaven, the mouth was called I, the death was called collapse, and the new monarch could be called the dynasty when he was young, which were all the default rules in the hearts of the people of the world!

It's just that even in the Han family, even if Lu Pheasant was supported by the emperor's son on the imperial couch, there was still a lack of the last formalities······

Without waiting for everyone to react, they saw Liu Ying turn around, and instead of sitting next to her mother, she turned sideways a little and bowed her hand to Xiao He on the left side of the class.

"Return the prime minister, and declare the emperor's edict in front of hundreds of officials and ministers."

Hearing this, Xiao He, who had been prepared for a long time, also bowed to Liu Ying, and then slowly stepped forward, turned his back again, and faced everyone in the hall.

When the ceremonial official on the side dragged a wooden box forward, Xiao He took out the white silk in the box and spread out the donated books with a solemn expression.

"The edict said: I have heard ······"

"I got the mandate of heaven and attacked the tyrannical Qin, and then ······"

"Now that my life has ended, I dare not make the society have no queen······

"The crown prince Liu Ying, Yunwen Yunwu, is obedient and kind, and has won the common praise of the world and the ministers and hundreds of officials······"

Reading out the edict after polishing, Xiao He was already a little out of breath, but he finally held his breath and recited the most critical sentence aloud in this hall.

"Order: The crown prince Liu Ying succeeded to the emperor's throne, and he was not regent for the time being, and the emperor Fu Xiaohe, Cao Shen, and Wang Ling Fu taught the way of government; Stay at the age of seventeen, perform the crown ceremony and become an adult, get married, and pro-government ······"

With the last strength to recite the last sentence, Xiao He didn't care about adjusting his breathing, so he hurriedly turned around and took the lead in kneeling down towards Liu Ying on the imperial steps.

"Ministers, respect the edict of Emperor Daxing~"

"Prime Minister Hou Chen, see Your Majesty~~~"

Xiao He took the lead in the exhibition, and everyone in the hall hurriedly followed, and for a while, the entire Changxin Hall was filled with official positions, titles, and names.

After a long while, the sound in the hall gradually subsided, and Liu Ying nodded slowly, and bowed to everyone in the hall slightly.

At this point, the formal ceremony of the monarch and the minister is considered to have completed the procedure.

As for the temple link, yesterday, as soon as the former emperor Liu Bang died, it was completed under the urging of the courtiers and hundreds of officials;

sue the temple, it is regarded as obtaining the consent of the ancestors; When you meet the courtiers, you can be regarded as having the status of a monarch and a minister.

After that, it will be the enthronement ceremony to be held at the beginning of the next year, when Liu Ying changed the yuan.

Theoretically, after completing these three procedures, Liu Ying can be regarded as officially taking over the power of the Han family, but in fact, the most critical part of these three links is the just-concluded relief of the monarch and ministers.

- After all, even if the ancestors did not agree, they would not be able to show it at all, and the enthronement ceremony held half a year later was just the proper reason in the question, and it was impossible to go wrong.

But if there is a problem in the ceremony of the monarch and the minister, then no matter how willing the ancestors of the Liu family are to let Liu Ying inherit the throne and how grand the enthronement ceremony is held half a year later, it will not make the slightest sense.

The reason is very simple: the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers means that the courtiers and the old ministers approve of the candidates set by the emperor, that is, the successor to the throne!

With this procedure, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and if the candidate is not recognized, it must be put forward on the spot.

If it is not brought up at this time, it is a recognition of the identity of the new monarch and a clear commitment to the new monarch; In the future, it is necessary to keep the duty of a courtier and treat the new monarch with the attitude of treating the former emperor.

Therefore, the edict that Xiao He just read out can be regarded as the completion of the last procedure of 'Liu Ying's accession to the throne'.

At this moment, Liu Ying's identity as an emperor has a legal basis.

The identity was 'recognized', Liu Ying didn't dare to delay much, and after greeting the ministers, he walked down the imperial steps a little faster, and lifted Xiao He up from the ground.

"Prime Minister ······ Labor"

The tone was full of gentle expressions of condolences, and he helped Xiao He to the side and knelt down with his fingertips, Liu Yingcai turned sideways and bowed his hand to Cao Shen.

"Xiao Xiang is old, and the rest of the things are probably still the Marquis of Pingyang······"

"······"

After hearing Cao Shen's unexpected promise, Liu Ying turned around, walked to the royal couch from the imperial stairs again, and bowed deeply to Lu Pheasant, before finally sitting down on the imperial couch.

"Edict."

Another edict seemed to make people a little confused, but everyone in the hall did not show doubts, but hurriedly got up again and knelt in the center of the hall.

"Ministers, I would like to hear Your Majesty's edict ······"

After everyone saluted, they saw Cao Shen stand up cautiously, bow to Liu Ying again, and then follow the appearance of Xiao He Fangcai and stepped forward, took the edict in the hand of the ceremonial official, and turned his back to Liu Ying.

"The edict said: The first emperor died, I was very sad, and I was entrusted by the emperor of Daxing to the society, and I really didn't dare to serve the world with the face of unfilial piety."

"Order: The whole country is mourned, and all the people of the Han Dynasty are wearing filial piety for March."

"Summoning the King of Qi, the King of Zhao, the King of Dai, the King of Chu, the King of Wu and others to Chang'an to go to the funeral of Emperor Daxing."

"Emperor Daxing died, and I succeeded to the throne of the emperor, but if the so-called name is not right, it is not good."

"——Honor: Queen Lu is the queen mother, and she lives in Changle and dominates the government~"

"Yi: Princess Lu Yuan is the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, and she gives Tang Mu Zhiyi~"

Hearing these expected contents, everyone in the hall only straightened up with serious expressions, and bowed to Liu Ying and Lu Pheasant respectively.

"Ministers, I respectfully obey His Majesty's edict~"

"Ministers, see the Queen Mother~"

At this time, Lu Pheasant's identity was really at the legal level, from the queen to the queen mother; His act of 'trespassing' sitting on the royal couch finally made up the last procedure.

As soon as Cao Shen's voice fell, more than a dozen palace maids slipped out of the royal couch and invited Lu Pheasant to the screen on the side of the couch.

A moment later, the queen's crown and crown on Lu Pheasant's body were replaced with the queen mother's straight robe skirt; The red cloud hairpin on the top of the head has also been combed into the coiled hair of a widowed old woman.

At this point, Liu Ying's political procedures from the crown prince to the son of heaven and Lu Pheasant's from the queen to the queen mother have all been completed.

But Liu Ying's next move once again surprised the expectations of the courtiers and officials.

"Emperor Bintian, I am very sad."

"There are divisions in the court, and all of them are temporarily giving priority to the funeral of the Daxing Emperor, and the rest are temporarily suspended."

Seeing Liu Ying say something in a calm tone, and after a little heaning, he looked up at Xiao He's uncle and grandson behind him, separated by several people.

"Respect the edict of the emperor, and restore the prince and the uncle and grandson to be the norm."

"Lingfeng Chang has a division, and the whole lord is responsible for the emperor's funeral, and there must be no mistakes!"

"In addition, the Emperor Daxing is a martial artist, Ze is the world, and it is rare in history."

"I always have a division first, and I will discuss with the ministers and hundreds of officials, and make the emperor's gifts and music."
