Time flies, time is like water.

In the blink of an eye, Chang'an City ushered in the first year of October in an autumn rain.

The foggy sky, and the biting cold wind that did not blow, did not affect the meritorious relatives in Chang'an City at all, and before dawn on the first day of October, the clouds gathered outside the Changle Palace.

As soon as the time came, the palace gate was slowly opened, and the courtiers and nobles outside the palace all slowly walked into the palace gate with their own prepared congratulatory gifts.

For the people of the world, this day is just an extraordinary day;

In the long history, this is just a great ceremony that can leave a short number of records in the history books;

But at this moment, for the courtiers and officials who are entering from the West Palace Gate of Changle Palace, this day is a day of great significance.

——Because from this moment on, Liu Hansheji will usher in a new era······

·

"Congratulations from the Prime Minister with a gift~"

···

"The Imperial Doctor Pingyang Marquis Ginseng, kneel down with gifts to congratulate~"

···

"The Mausoleum of the Marquis of the Inner History, the Tomb of the Marquis of the Imperial Palace, the Marquis of the Imperial Palace, the Ministers of the Shaofu, etc., bring gifts to congratulate ~~~"

···

With the long chanting of the confessor, one figure after another poured into the Changxin Hall and stood in the center of the hall in order.

And at the very front of the crowd, he felt a series of envious eyes behind him, Xiao He also raised his head without modesty, and gently brushed his beard under his chin.

——As the first hero of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He has the three privileges of praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty and not trending, sword shoes and palace!

Although these three privileges only exist in theory, they are privileges of honor, and Xiao He has little chance to use these three privileges, but it is not completely unavailable.

The sword shoes and the hall refer to the fact that when entering the temple, there is no need to untie the sword and take off the cloth shoes like other courtiers;

But as the first smart person in history to invent 'self-defilement', Xiao He has never used this privilege, and it is impossible to use this privilege that is quite traitorous.

Entering the court does not tend to refer to the fact that when going to the palace from the palace gate, you do not need to trot like everyone else, but you can walk slowly and methodically;

This privilege, the healthy Xiao He has never used it, and the current Xiao He, even if he does not have this privilege, he has long lost the ability to 'trot into the palace'.

And the last one, 'Praise and Worship', is the highest level of the three privileges, and at the same time the most difficult honor to obtain!

As for its content, when meeting the Son of Heaven (or the Queen Mother), there is no need to register for it, and it is only necessary to report for an official position.

For example, when the confessor sings for Xiao He, it is 'the prime minister's respect', but when it comes to others, it is 'the imperial historian Pingyang Marquis and the courtiers pay respects' and 'the internal history of the Anguo Marquis Mausoleum' and so on.

It stands to reason that when he usually meets the Son of Heaven Liu Ying and the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant in private, Xiao He can also rely on this privilege to pay homage to 'Prime Minister, See Your Majesty/Queen Mother', instead of 'Prime Minister and Marquis He Balabala'.

It's just that, like the first two privileges, Xiao He in the past has never taken the initiative to use the privilege of 'praising and worshipping without a name', and when he met Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant, and even the former emperor Liu Bang, they were all self-reported to their families in a proper manner: Prime Minister Yu Hou Chen.

But if you don't use it actively, it doesn't mean that Xiao He is unwilling to use it passively.

At this moment, for the first time, he experienced the sense of honor brought by 'praise and worship', Xiao He said: Well, the fat intestine is good, and the old man is very cool!

After a while in the envious gazes of his colleagues in the court, Xiao He was not too obsessed, and his face was slightly solemn, and he clasped his hands in front of his abdomen.

- Today's protagonist is obviously not Xiao He, who has experienced how cool 'praise and worship is unknown' for the first time, but Liu Ying, the son of heaven.

It's just that before entering the palace, Xiao He vaguely heard from the mouth of Wang Ling, who was in charge of the grand court ceremony: This time the great court ceremony does not seem to be preparing for the enthronement ceremony······

"Hmmm······"

"Since the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has never been explicitly recorded in the "Rites".

"What Your Majesty does today may be the source of emulation for future generations to follow······"

Thinking like this, Xiao He's face couldn't help but bring a touch of solemnity.

As for the actual situation, it is basically the same as Xiao He expected, or even far more than that.

In the land of China, when was the last time there was a situation where 'the Son of Heaven died and a new monarch succeeded'?

——If the emperor died in the sand dunes, Zhao Gao Li Si made an edict, and usurped the second Hu Hai, it was exactly one hundred and twenty years ago!

In the past 120 years, the land of China has experienced the strength of Zhao Wuling's king Hufu cavalry and Yan's general Qin's development of thousands of miles, and experienced the wars of the five kingdoms and Qin-Qi.

experienced the magnificence of the first emperor's domination of the world, and also experienced the death of Qin II, the struggle for hegemony of Chu and Han and the regeneration of the world.

One hundred and twenty years is enough to make everything that is temporarily forgotten forever forgotten by future generations;

And among them, it naturally includes 'the death of the Son of Heaven, the new monarch is established', which has not appeared again for a hundred and twenty years.

In this way, Xiao He's speculation that 'today's Liu Ying should be a model for future generations' is not an exaggeration at all, and it is even a little conservative!

——Hundreds of years after today, every emperor of Liu Han, and even every Chinese king thousands of years later, will inevitably take what Liu Ying has done today as the standard answer for his new monarch!

Therefore, today's Liu Ying will inevitably be in the spotlight all day long, being carefully pondered under a magnifying glass by those present, those who are not present, and even every Han person, every Chinese noble, and Yan and Huang descendants who have not yet been born.

And the first appetizer prepared by Liu Ying was placed in front of the courtiers and officials after they congratulated each other.

"I heard: Both parents are dead, and those who are sons should be filial piety at the age of three."

"When Qin was in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Xu, and Xiaowen King Dai Xiao was established at the age of one; King Xiaowen, King Zhuangxiang mourned a one-year-old king. ”

"Xiaowen and Zhuang Xiang are no more than Ji Zhou Fengjun, and his monarch's father can also serve to be mourned for one year, which is the position of the deceased father;"

"I was ordered by Emperor Taizu Gao, and I came to this world with a blinking body, thinking that I was the son of Han Tiandi!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying's face only became more and more solemn, and there was a faint layer of mist in her eyes.

"When people lose their parents, they can wear filial piety at the age of three; Qin Xiaowen and Zhuang Xiang are not feudal princes, and they also have to serve a year of mourning. ”

"The body of the Son of Heaven is the king of the world, although I know that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but I also know: filial piety, the best of people, and the first of virtue."

"Therefore, I got the grace of the Queen Mother, and the Prime Minister, the Imperial Historian and other old ministers of the Pillar State seconded the proposal, which is to say to the world: Although I am the king of the bureaucracy, I still serve the mourning of the high emperor."

"Now I am standing, but the national mourning is not over; and I am so virtuous that I dare not act rashly to defile the sacred. ”

"Therefore, the succession ceremony is to show the way of filial piety of the Han Dynasty······"

After speaking, Liu Ying lowered her head with tears in her eyes, took the white filial piety belt handed by the ceremonial officer, and gently tied it on her forehead.

Without waiting for the courtiers and officials under the imperial stairs to react, a team of Lang officials came out from the side of the hall, all holding trays containing filial piety belts in their hands, and stopped in front of the hundred officials one by one.

Seeing this, even though everyone in the hall still didn't react, they didn't delay each other to stretch out their hands, follow Liu Ying's appearance, and tie the filial piety belt to their foreheads.

Then, under the leadership of Prime Minister Xiao He, everyone slowly kowtowed to the young man standing on the royal steps.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, Emperor Taizu Gao has a spirit in the sky, and he should also be comforted, ministers, etc., I would like to congratulate the world on ······"

kneeling and bowing, everyone finally reacted in hindsight: what kind of medicine is sold in Liu Ying's gourd.

According to common sense, the succession of the Son of Heaven, whether it is the founding of the country or the succession, should be announced to the world through a grand and solemn enthronement ceremony: From today onwards, I am the king of the world!

Seven years ago, Liu Bang, the former emperor who completely defeated the overlord Xiang Yu in the next battle, did the same.

And now, Liu Ying uncharacteristically gave up this opportunity to tell the world, but instead came to a play 'My father died, I was sad, I cried'!

At first glance, Liu Ying's move seems to be putting the cart before the horse, completely ignoring the opportunity to 'declare the world' and the opportunity to declare sovereignty to the entire known world.

But in fact, even if the enthronement ceremony was canceled, it did not affect Liu Ying to tell the world: From today on, I will be the king of the world!

It's just that Liu Ying replaced the enthronement ceremony that clearly said 'I am the king of heaven' in the past with a memorial service of 'my emperor's father has died'······

In this way, even if there is no enthronement ceremony, the people of the world can still know: Emperor Lao Tzu has changed;

At the same time, the impression that 'Xinjun is a filial son' will also be deeply rooted in the soul of every Han person.

——In order to cherish the memory of her father, Liu Ying didn't even hold the enthronement ceremony!

If that's not enough to call it filial piety, then what is filial piety?!

And in this era, how important is the label of 'filial piety', you only need to look at the official book of the Prime Minister's Mansion to see it at a glance.

- Filial piety!

- In this era, a good-for-nothing 'filial son' can also be an official!

- And it was the center of the court who came to the door in person, begging to let this filial son be an official!

Ordinary people are filial, and they can exchange for an official position at least a county order, not to mention what kind of tall image the filial piety of the Son of Heaven can erect in the hearts of the people of the world.

Even at this moment, even if they have realized Liu Ying's intentions, among the courtiers and officials in the palace, there are still many people with tears in their eyes, and they almost didn't write the words 'Sheji Youhou' on their foreheads······

"Strike and set up a ceremony, change the group to surrender to the mourning ······"

"Hmmm······"

With a slight sigh in his heart, Xiao He looked at Liu Ying's gaze, only becoming more and more relieved.

- Whether Liu Ying is a filial son or not, Xiao He doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to guess.

But Xiao He knows that a son of heaven who knows how to maintain his own image, and even creates an image of a 'filial son' from scratch, even if the upper limit is not high, at least he will not be a fool.

Even in a sense, in terms of maintaining the image, Liu Ying has done a lot better than the former emperor Liu Bang······

knelt in the center of the hall for thirty breaths, and finally heard the queen mother Lu Pheasant swallow and ordered, 'Flatten', and everyone in the hall straightened up with grief.

Just when everyone thought that they could step into the easing of the court discussion next, Liu Ying's next move once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Emperor Taizu Gao died, I am very sad, and today is the first year of the year, and the court is a grand ceremony."

"I hereby tell the world: It is advisable to be the first year of my dynasty, amnesty to the world, and give the people a first-class lord who is a father, two buckets of rice, one horse of cloth and one piece of silk, and ten catties of meat;"

"It is to make the local counties and counties show filial piety and honesty, and all those who are famous for filial piety in a county will enter the court as a lang, and always accompany me around, and act with the virtue of righteousness;"

"Although I have lost my imperial father, I can't bear to mourn with the whole country, so I have ordered the court to have all the people of the world: all the people of the Han Dynasty will lose half of the agricultural tax this year, according to the system of one out of thirty; The mouth is also half, and the household is sixty dollars. ”

"In addition, the local counties and counties, as well as the princes of the Kwantung clan: before the national mourning, no large-scale construction is allowed, except for the soldiers on the north wall, the soldiers of the county and county, and the repair of canals and roads, they are not allowed to be levied from the people!"

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials in the hall who had just gotten up only knelt on the ground again, and even kowtowed to Liu Yingshen!

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people's suffering, and the ministers represent all the people of the world, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your !!"

Qi Qi congratulated, which provoked Liu Ying on the imperial stairs to breathe a little heavily, but finally barely maintained his demeanor, and helped everyone up with a solemn expression.

But even after getting up, the eyes of the hundred officials in the hall looking at Liu Ying were still the same, 'Your Majesty only needs to nod, and the minister will kowtow again!' 'The stance.

If Liu Ying's previous move to cancel the enthronement ceremony was somewhat of a political show, then the series of reserved programs that should have appeared at the enthronement ceremony were really benevolent to the world, and Ze was attacked by birds and beasts!

Taxes and taxes are halved each, which is the first time that there is a Han dynasty; Amnesty, knighthood, rice, grain, cloth and meat are also good things that are rare in several years.

The most important thing is that Liu Ying added the last sentence in a tone of implicit warning.

——Before the national mourning, no large-scale construction is allowed, and no levy is allowed from the people!

This alone doesn't know how many families on the verge of breaking can take a heavy breath!

For everyone in the palace, although these benefits cannot be distributed in their own hands, they do not affect these outstanding people at all, and they are sincerely happy for this.

-- The order that welfare is spread all over the world is naturally under the order of the Son of Heaven; But doesn't the task of spreading welfare have to be done by these 'high-ranking officials in the temple'?

It doesn't even take these people to do it personally, even if it just gets a reputation of 'saying thank you to Your Majesty for this', for the vast majority of middle and low-level officials in the palace, it is definitely a rich political prestige!

As for Xiao He, Cao Shen and other ministers, although they don't look down on this prestige, what they value is something that makes people feel even more excited······

"Whenever the Holy King comes to the court, there will be virtuous ministers to support him······"

"In the future, we may also leave a ······ in history"

When everyone was in their own moods, Liu Ying's last after-dinner snack was finally brought to the table.

"Emperor Taizu Gao once said: My Han family should govern the country with filial piety."

"I am sad to lose my father, but fortunately my mother is still alive······"

Speaking in a low voice, Liu Ying slowly turned sideways and knelt down at the feet of her mother Lu Pheasant.

"Today, the sons and daughters carry hundreds of officials, kneel to congratulate their mothers, the head of the year, and Changle Weiyang ······"

Without waiting for the hall to react, the servant under the imperial stairs turned around, looked at Liu Ying, his face stiffened and tangled for a moment, and finally turned around again and opened his throat.

"Your Majesty brings a hundred officials, congratulations to the Queen Mother~"

"Kneel ~~~"

As soon as the singing sounded out, everyone in the hall was stunned.

When he saw the top of the imperial steps, Liu Ying was already the first to kneel down, and even if everyone had doubts, they finally knelt down.

"Ministers, congratulations to the Queen Mother ~ I wish the Queen Mother a long time ~~~"

At this point, the Han family ruled the country with filial piety, and finally from the previous slogan of mentioning nothing to mention, it has completely become a reality.

When the first emperor died, the new monarch immediately mourned first, and then gave the people of the world to the people, and finally brought hundreds of officials to bow to the queen mother, which also became the political inheritance of the Han Dynasty, which was untouchable······
