Chapter 8: Liu Dan
If the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince still have a chance, then the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince, the two princes who were directly denied by Liu Jin, have no chance at all.
In this way, the five people, from the fifth prince to the ninth prince, are not suitable in the emperor's heart.
Only the three eldest princes and kings, the king of Jiaodong, the king of Beiyan, and the king of Henan, are left, and these three are very difficult to choose.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, an itch came from the chest, and the uncontrollable heavy coughing sounded, continuously, one after another, like a broken bellows being pulled, and a loud gasp sounded in front of everyone.
Liu Jin even felt that his internal organs were about to cough out, he wanted to say something but couldn't, the queen hurriedly patted him gently, and the ministers exclaimed: "Your Majesty! ”
No matter how indecisive he was, Liu Jin knew that he couldn't hesitate anymore and had to choose an emperor immediately.
After experiencing all the things since the defeat of the Southern Kingdom, he wanted to find an emperor for the Han Dynasty who could suppress the military merits.
"The second child has too soft personality, he doesn't have the heart of a king, and he can't take on the heavy responsibility of the society, that is, the Molu clan is definitely unwilling to meddle in Chang'an."
Liu Jin frowned slightly.
The wife of the king of Jiaodong is powerful, but the situation is relatively special, this vein is the line of Lu Hou, and the regent queen mother of the past is from this vein.
The Lu clan was already more cautious, but after experiencing the migration of the Lu clan, they understood that the Lu clan was still too prominent, and the Linzi Lu clan and the Jimo Lu clan who stayed in Qi became more and more shrinking.
They deeply cultivated the land of the old Qi, developed the countryside, and cautiously faced the changes in the imperial court, the family creed is that longevity is more important than prominence, and in the era of everything is striving to be the first, highlighting a quiet time.
Others don't want to provoke them at will.
If it is to maintain the rule of the King of Jiaodong or the Han family on the land of Old Qi, then it is no problem, but if you want the Lu family to work hard for the throne of the King of Jiaodong, it is a joke.
The Lu family has been illustrious, the relatives of the number one in the sky have done it, and the scenery of Liu is Lu, and the danger after the scenery is also very clear, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water at all.
"Fourth."
Emperor Liu Jin groaned, and then shook his head, under the feudal system, although most of the power is in the hands of the county guard, but the power of the prince is still very large, and this era is not popular Taoguang Yanghui, but popular meritorious service to maintain wealth, if a prince does not act, it means that he is completely suppressed by the county officials.
Liu Jin glanced at the court officials below, the marquis lords, and sentenced the fourth child to death in his heart.
"Since you are so dissatisfied with my unwillingness to go to war, then I will give you an emperor who is willing to fight.
Rather, we will see if the world will be as you wish. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Jin said directly: "Beiyan Wang Tian......." ”
King of Northern Yan?
Everyone was shocked, how could the emperor's character make a choice so quickly?
These three people have their own shortcomings and advantages, and it is difficult to choose even if the courtiers consult together.
No one could have thought that Liu Jin wanted to choose an emperor who could suppress all civil and military officials based on the problems he had encountered during this period of time.
"Your Majesty!"
Several voices instantly sounded in the hall, full of anxiety.
"Huh?"
Liu Jin's voice was full of doubts, and then no one spoke.
This is a very interesting phenomenon, the monarchy developed to the Ming Dynasty, and there was an incident of ministers fighting for the country, but when the monarchy was weaker before, the prince was mainly decided by the emperor, unless the subordinates opposed it together, for example, Liu Bang wanted to change the prince was basically opposed by everyone.
This actually reflects the power of patriarchal rules, and the Ming Dynasty has an extremely clear inheritance law such as the emperor's ancestral teachings, so the courtiers have a legal principle to oppose the emperor.
This world has a clear inheritance system for concubines, so Liu Ruyi cannot ascend to the throne.
Although Liu Jin's prestige was damaged, all the kings were concubines, and there was no indisputable heir, and in the face of the courtiers who were not monolithic, they would not be unable to decide on the heir.
Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Jin continued: "The king of Beiyan, Tianzi, is a heroic and decisive person, and Yunwen Yunwu is a person who can entrust the great cause."
Among the heirs of the first emperor, the king of Beiyan is friendly with me, and he has contributed to Siyi, if he does not take the king of Beiyan as the emperor, who can he be?
Spread my will, set up Beiyan Wang Dan as the emperor's younger brother, quickly called to Chang'an, entered the unification, and inherited my Han family. ”
……
Northern Yan Kingdom.
Faced with the news from the imperial envoy, the king of Northern Yan was overjoyed and immediately summoned the kingdom's vassals and private troops to Chang'an.
"King, the Northern Yan Kingdom is a pure land, once you enter Chang'an, you can't help yourself."
King Beiyan waved his hand and said: "In the past, the first emperor used the Liang Dynasty to succeed the unification, and some people said that he finally created the deeds of the Holy King.
Now that the widow is valued by the imperial brother and given a great position, can't he be like the first emperor? ”
When Liu Dan, the king of Northern Yan, walked halfway, news came from the imperial court again, "Great King, Emperor Daxing collapsed in Changle Palace, and the courtiers gave Emperor Daxing the title of Ding." ”
"Ding?"
Liu Dan likes martial arts, and he doesn't like these twists and turns, and the kingdom's vassals explained to him: "The king, in the interpretation of the law, Ding has only one meaning, and it is a medium nickname for chasing and reforming the past. ”
"Middle?"
Liu Dan was a little surprised, "Have you ever chased after the change?" ”
The evaluation of this nickname made Liu Dan suddenly feel a trace of crisis, his royal brother did really average, and it was also very suitable for chasing and reforming.
But Liu Dan felt that the courtiers could actually give his imperial brother an inferior favor.
If you want to praise a person, you can always praise it, just like you can praise a woman, from beauty, to temperament, to clothing, there is always a point.
"Can I change my nickname?
The royal brother passed the throne to the widow, which is like the kindness of recreation, and the widow has always been close to the royal brother, just like a brother, a middle ......"
As soon as he said this, everyone exclaimed in unison: "The king must not!" ”
Wang Taifu even said directly in a cold sweat: "King, you don't like to read Confucian and Taoist classics on weekdays, it's nothing.
But don't say that again!
The nickname is the emperor of the Su Wang, which is like a courtier submitting the year-end recital to the sovereign, where is the reason to change the suwang recital? ”
It was the first time that the King of Northern Yan had seen Wu Wu oppose him together, and with an anxious look on his face, he knew that this matter might not really work, so he had no choice but to accept it.
……
"The king, the general and the imperial historian led the civil and military officials of Chang'an City to greet you."
The king of Beiyan was about to get out of the car, but Wang Taifu grabbed him and said, "King, be careful, succeed to the throne smoothly!" ”
Liu Dan's heart sank, and he nodded slowly.
