Chapter 0282 - Silly Brother, Old Uncle
In this way, the first court meeting after Liu Bang's death and Liu Ying's succession to the throne drew a slightly hasty end after Liu Ying's order that 'I want to put everything else aside and handle the funeral of Emperor Daxing first'.
And there is nothing surprising about the content of this court meeting.
——The new monarch is young, and the queen mother is temporarily in charge of the government until the king reaches adulthood, which has been a customary rule since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Even today, Liu Ying revealed this idea too explicitly, but it was harmless.
As for Liu Ying's final reinstatement of his uncle and grandson Tongguan, serving as a regular officer, and formulating the rites and music exclusive to the Daxing Emperor Liu Bang, it is actually the proper reason in the question.
At first glance, it may sound like 'making a ritual or music that belongs to someone' may be a little confusing.
But in fact, since the two things of "rites" and "music" appeared in the land of China, the formulation of rites and music only means one thing.
- Build a temple!
Therefore, formulating exclusive gifts and music for the former emperor Liu Bang is just Liu Ying's vague statement;
To put it bluntly, in fact, Liu Ying ordered his uncle and grandson: You are often in the lead, and the courtiers and officials are discussing, and you are ready to build a temple for the emperor.
And to build a temple for the first emperor, on the emperors of other periods, there may be some room for negotiation.
But building a temple for Liu Bang does not need to be discussed and considered at all.
——As early as the day when he ascended the throne and announced to the world that 'Liu Han Sheji has been established', Liu Bang had already booked a temple for himself after his death by virtue of his exploits in opening the Han Dynasty!
Even the temple number is actually doomed, and there is no need to negotiate at all.
Ding Lisheji, open a dynasty of the country, for the Taizu also.
As for why Liu Ying used such vague wording in this kind of thing that is bound to happen and must be done, it also made the courtiers and officials pay more attention to Liu Ying in their hearts because of Liu Ying's 'rigor'.
First of all, from the perspective of filial piety, this kind of thing is to build a temple for the first emperor, of course, it is right - the father is dead, and the son puts some gold on the father's face, and no one can find anything wrong.
However, from the perspective of 'people's cooking', as well as respect for the court, courtiers and officials, if the Son of Heaven directly ordered, 'I decided to build a temple for my father, you go and prepare', it will somewhat violate the unspoken rule of 'major social affairs, the monarch and ministers will discuss and decide'.
Especially when Liu Ying inherited the emperor's throne before he was crowned, he had to maintain the superficial 'people's cooking' to show his respect for the court and the courtiers and officials.
Secondly, it is an embarrassing problem that has never appeared in history for the first time in Chinese history, so that Liu Ying cannot directly say, 'I want to build a temple for the first emperor, you go and prepare'.
——As the founding emperor, Liu Bang's temple number is almost certain: Taizu!
And Taizu Temple, since ancient times, has been referred to by the world as: Taimiao.
This is the crux of the matter.
——Today's Han family already has a Taimiao······
Two years ago, in the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Xuan died, and then Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, ordered: to build a temple for Emperor Liu Xuan!
And which temple of Liu Xuan, although the full name is 'Taishang Emperor Temple', but the abbreviation has also been defaulted to 'Taimiao'.
In this case, if Liu Bang is given another 'Taizu Temple', then in the future, there will be two Taizu Temples in the Han Dynasty.
Obviously, as the legal basis and source of the legal system of Liu Han Sheji, the temple of the founding emperor Liu Bang must be unique and must not be confused.
Therefore, Liu Yingcai vaguely reminded Shusun Tong and the ministers of the court with a sentence of 'formulating rites and music': Big guy, we have to think about the establishment of a temple, and we can't really build a second 'Taimiao' for the emperor?
Obviously, anyone who can be called a famous person in the DPRK and China has also heard Liu Ying's intentions.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, almost every courtier who had the obligation to participate in this matter gathered around Fengchang's uncle Sun Tong, as well as Prime Minister Xiao He and Imperial Doctor Cao Shen.
Seven days later, on the day Liu Bang was buried in the Changling Mausoleum, the solution to this problem was finally placed in front of the case of the new monarch Liu Ying by Prime Minister Xiao He.
——Emperor Daxing opened the Han Dynasty, and when he built a temple, he said: Taizu.
Throughout the ancient and modern times, the merit is higher than that of Emperor Taizu, and all the laws cannot be discussed; Therefore, the courtiers and hundreds of officials discussed together, and Emperor Taizu said: Gao.
At this point, the former emperor Liu Bang, who died, was already conclusive by the Han family: Emperor Taizu Gao.
As for the temple that Liu Ying erected for his father Liu Bang, it has also been called the High Temple since then······
·
In the summer and May of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.
The figure of Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, appeared twenty miles east of Changle Palace early.
I saw that the young son of heaven was dressed in a crown, dressed in linen, with a sulfur crown on his head, a filial piety belt on his forehead, and standing beside the royal chariot in the wind, as if he was waiting for someone.
Next to the imperial chariot, there is the little eunuch Chuntuo, who has been appointed as the eunuch of the Weiyang Palace, and Lang Zhongling Wuhu, who led the forbidden army to guard both sides of the imperial chariot.
After waiting for a while, I saw two carriages that were obviously not old, but were covered with mud and dust, and the identity of the owner could not be seen at all.
The groom in the carriage was parched and dusty, and he still waved his whip incessantly;
The two carriages were not one behind the other, but seemed to have nothing to do with each other, speeding on the straight.
In a matter of moments, the two carriages were approaching, and the speed of the chariot that was waiting only slowed down slightly.
When they reached a position about fifty paces from the Imperial Ring, the two carriages stopped on the straight road with the neighing of several old horses.
Almost at the same time as the carriage stopped, a slightly blessed figure came out of one of the carriages, and without bothering to tidy up his clothes, he trotted in the direction of Liu Ying.
After seeing the numbness on Liu Ying's body and the filial piety belt tied on his head, the man finally stopped, looked sad for a moment, and then knelt on the ground weakly.
"Father's ······"
"Father!!"
"Father's ~~~~~~"
The mournful cry resounded through the clouds, causing Liu Ying to turn red again.
stepped forward slightly, tearfully lifted the figure from the ground, and Liu Ying's tone was already quietly brought a little more swallowed.
"Brother Wang······"
"Sss
"Brother's Day Mourning ······"
took a mouthful of snot, and helped his brother Liu Fei, who was full of collapse, up from the ground, and Liu Ying did not forget to pat his brother's fat hand to soothe him a little.
After such a while, Liu Jiao had already walked out of another carriage, and was helped forward by a young man who was also wearing a bereaved father, exhaling a little turbid breath with tears in his eyes.
Forcibly holding back the grief in his heart, he saw Liu Jiao turn sideways with devastation, and withdrew his arm from the hand of the young man beside him, and then he turned around and slowly bowed his hand to Liu Ying.
"The prince of Chu is handed over, see Your Majesty's ······"
"Liu Bifei, the crown prince of Chu, see Your Majesty's ······"
Hearing the words of Liu Jiao's father and son, Liu Ying only stepped forward sadly and stretched out her hand gently.
"Uncle Wang, please ······"
"Prince, please ·········"
Helped Liu Jiao up from the ground, and nodded slightly to Liu Bifei, the crown prince of Chu on the side, Liu Ying naturally stepped forward to support Liu Jiao's arm, and in a neutral tone, he immediately took a more swallow.
"Uncle Wang."
"Father, Father······"
Before half a sentence could be spoken, Liu Ying cried again, and was stunned that she couldn't finish the second half of the sentence.
saw Liu Jiao raise his head with a miserable smile, stared deeply at Liu Ying's face for a moment, and then slowly lowered his head again.
"Your Majesty's Day ······"
"The imperial brother is wise and martial, and he is the envy of the Heavenly Prince."
"Your Majesty should inherit the will of the imperial brother in order to settle down this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the temple and the society ······"
Hearing Liu Jiao's words, Liu Ying also nodded with tears, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then helped Liu Jiao turn around.
Seeing his brother Liu Fei behind him, still crying and wiping away tears like a child, Liu Ying helped Liu Jiaoxiao to step forward.
"Three days ago, my father was buried in the Changling Mausoleum."
"Brother Wang, Uncle Wang, why don't you go with me, go to Chang'an for a while, and then go to Changling to offer condolences······"
Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Fei turned a deaf ear, and still kept wiping tears with his arms, looking like a child was robbed of his toys.
Liu Jiao, who was supported by Liu Ying, was stunned when he heard this, and twitched his hand lightly without thinking.
"Your Majesty's good intentions, minister, flattered······"
Seeing that Liu Ying hurriedly turned around, he bowed his hand to Liu Ying slightly, and then said with a worried face: "However, the royal chariot, the things of the Son of Heaven, the ministers, and the ministers of the society; ”
"The body of a courtier, and the ······ of the Son of Heaven"
"This is probably not the way of a human minister."
"I also hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins, and Xu Chen will ride by himself, and he will ······ after the holy car"
said this softly, and without waiting for Liu Ying to speak, he saw that Liu Jiao had already turned sideways, and he looked like he was about to return to his carriage.
Seeing this, Liu Ying snorted again, and then stepped forward to stop Liu Jiao.
"Uncle Wang doesn't have to be so restrained."
As she spoke, Liu Ying turned sideways again and looked at her brother Liu Fei, who was still grieving.
"My father died, I didn't have a crown and shouldered the weight of society, I indulged in words, and I wanted to speak to others."
"Brother Wang and Uncle Wang are coming from afar, why don't you listen to my heart for a while, so that I can feel a little more comfortable?"
But seeing that Liu Jiao heard this, he still did not hesitate at all, so he once again bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a sad face.
"Your Majesty's words are very ······"
"However, the ministers think that the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, the order of the upper and lower, must not be disordered."
"I hope that Your Majesty will be merciful to the courtiers and forgive me a little; When you enter the palace, the ministers will talk to Your Majesty all night to relieve Your Majesty's thoughts······"
After that, Liu Jiao bowed to Liu Yingshen again, and then, with the support of the crown prince Liu Bifei, he walked towards the carriage not far away, which could not be seen to be 'driven by the king' at all.
Seeing that Liu Jiao was so stubborn, Liu Ying had no choice but to dispel her thoughts, turned around, and saw that Liu Fei was still wailing, and his face was only slightly stiff.
"Hmmm······"
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ying adjusted her face, stepped forward, and helped Liu Fei's hand.
"Brother's Day Mourning ······"
"Wait until you enter the palace, brother Yu Wang, and then talk about the matter here······"
Regarding the words that came out of Liu Ying's mouth, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, still seemed to be deaf, only crying, letting himself be supported by Liu Ying, and walking towards the imperial chariot not far away.
After Liu Fei was helped by Liu Ying to the imperial chariot and ordered to return to the palace, the imperial chariot slowly drove in the direction of Chang'an City.
It's just that no one noticed: behind the royal chariot, the king who was sitting on Liu Jiao, Liu Bifei and his son, but Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, lifted the curtain and looked at the imperial chariot not far away with a stern expression.
"Father."
With a light call, Liu Jiao was so frightened that he hurriedly loosened the curtain, and when he saw that it was his son Liu Bifei, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Liu Jiao's appearance, the crown prince Liu Bifei quietly frowned.
"Father."
"King Qi's ······ today"
"In the past, the King of Qi was raised under the knees of the queen, and he was more like a brother and sister with His Majesty."
"King Qi's move today, Your Majesty ······"
"Won't you blame?"
"!!"
saw Liu Jiao let out a low roar suddenly, and then lifted the curtain in fear and looked around Wang Jia.
After making sure that there was no 'ear for the car' outside the car, Liu Jiao looked at the groom of the royal car with a slight warning, and finally withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Bifei in front of him with a serious look.
"Your Majesty has always been lenient and benevolent, and the King of Qi is a brother, and he is slightly younger than the King of Qi; If the king of Qi has a slight trespass, His Majesty may indeed turn a blind eye. ”
"However, the Han family today is not only His Majesty in charge!"
With a frightened expression, Liu Jiao did not forget to lower himself a little more, and the volume was even lowered.
"Few people have heard that the day after the death of the first emperor, His Majesty made it clear to the Changxin Palace: The Queen Mother will be in charge of the government until His Majesty is crowned!"
"-You must know that Your Majesty is only fifteen years old today!"
"If Your Majesty wants to crown the pro-government, it will be five years!"
"In the past five years, the Queen Mother has been in charge of the Han family!"
Speaking of this, Liu Jiao's face was full of horror and deep worry.
"When the first emperor was still alive, the Lu family repeatedly trespassed."
"In the battle of Pengcheng, the first emperor was defeated, and Lu Ze, the Marquis of Zhou, threatened the first emperor even more, and made His Majesty the crown prince!"
"After the death of Marquis Lu in Zhou, the Lu family was a little more cautious; However, the year before last, the emperor died, and when the emperor wanted to be easy to save, the queen mother was only a queen, so she forced the first emperor to eliminate the idea of easy storage! ”
"The same is true when the first emperor is still alive, not to mention that the first emperor is in great action today, and the queen at that time is already the queen mother today, and she is in charge of Han Zuo?"
Full of worry when he said this, Liu Jiao finally straightened up again, lifted the curtain slightly, and looked at the royal chariot in front of him, full of worry.
"The first emperor is in a big line, and the queen is in the court as the queen mother."
"King Qi's actions today, even if Your Majesty is not to blame, the queen must not tolerate ······"
"Alas~"
"The emperor's bones are not cold, and they will change ······"
"I hope that when I go out of Chang'an again, the widow can still send a letter to the valley in the king of Qi to seal the country······"
said this with embarrassment, but Liu Jiao still grabbed the curtain of the car, looked at the royal chariot's gaze, and couldn't help but become more and more profound.
"What's more, Your Majesty is the son of the emperor's brother······"
"In King Qi's actions today, Your Majesty may not be without grudges······"
"King Qi ······"
"Alas·············"
