The questioning of the princes of Jingnan seemed to still echo in the Changle Palace, and the faint smell of blood in the air proved that it was already in the past.

The Jingnan army took over the capital of the empire, a large number of nobles were driven out of the luxurious mansions and tried one by one, the first evil person was beheaded, the servant was exiled, there were feudal people who cut down the land, there were knights who took the title and went to prison, the prince and the concubine were confined, everything was settled, abolished as the common people, and the relatives were close to the law, and moved to the north and south.

As for whether the new emperor can survive when he ascends the throne, it is not up to the princes of Jingnan, who do not kill Liu Dan's sons because they are unwilling to let the political struggle break the bottom line, in order to end up with dignity, and to forgive the capital crimes of most nobles is also to stop the war.

Cutting grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, it is not the mainstream of this era, exile is enough.

After cleaning up the dissidents, the princes sat down in groups, "It's time to wait for me to make a final decision on this trip!" Characterize Liu Dan, characterize us, and show what a face in the annals of history, right now. ”

When the princes heard this, everyone had the same idea, but they were a little hesitant.

"In the past, when the Zhou room was there, there was King Kang and King Zhao to rule the world, and the father of King Zhao was King Li, and he did not hide his father's mistakes in order to call the king's respect.

This is to warn Zhou Tianzi not to repeat the mistakes of King Li.

We obey the will of heaven to quell the troubles of the only husband, and let the future emperors of the Han family understand today's actions. ”

This is obvious, Liu Dan has merits in the first half of his life, but he is destined to not get even one of them.

"If a monarch like him can be called sympathetic, we Jingjing princes will become a joke."

"It should be appropriate to know the past and not change it, not to regret the past, and to call it a name."

"Take away the honorific title of his summer son, leave only the name of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, you can't enter the temple of your ancestors, you can't use the emperor's mausoleum, cover his face with your hair to be buried, and the emperor will be announced to the world with this."

Word by word, one prince after another made a sonorous and powerful voice, and the name of Liu Dan's death was set in an understatement, and no one raised objections.

A dead man's business is not a big deal.

Now the most critical thing in front of everyone is, who will be the emperor?

Liu Dan's sons were directly excluded, and all of them were deposed as commoners, and there was not even a single liege.

Moreover, it must be distributed far away, Lingnan, Western Regions, and Liaodong, in short, it cannot stay in the Central Plains, let alone succeed to the throne.

Their political identity is extremely unqualified, and if Liu Dan's son is allowed to ascend the throne, political revenge is almost inevitable.

Not every king is as generous as King Zhou Zhao, and King Zhou Zhao takes Duke Luo Wen as his father, and his relationship with King Zhou Li is not deep.

If Liu Dan's son is not trampled on the bottom, the princes of Jingnan will have trouble sleeping!

"It seems that the princes and kings who have followed us in this incident ......"

The comradeship is the deepest, someone said tentatively.

As soon as these words came out, he was interrupted, "No, the emperor should choose from the branch of Emperor Xiaowu, the princes of this incident are slightly far away in blood, if it is not for Emperor Xiaoding to have no children, Emperor Er's heirs are not many, and there is even the danger of removing the country, so he cannot be the emperor." ”

The feudal system of the princes and kings is theoretically more terrible than that of the princes, and the country is completely based on blood relations.

However, in practice, it is not so terrible, after all, an emperor cannot give birth to the princes and kings of the whole country, and there are still many distant clans.

But in the election of the emperor, the blood relationship is too far away, and this sentence is equivalent to a direct death sentence.

Moreover, among the princes who started the incident, except for the Yuan Cong Zhuxun, it was the strongest Xiaowu upstart, and it was absolutely impossible not to choose the Xiaowu branch.

"Emperor Xiaoding collapsed in the past, and finally chose his brother and brother, and now that Emperor Jie is dead, maybe he can die again?

Now fifteen years have passed, and the princes of Emperor Xiaowu are in the prime of life and can be kings. ”

Brother to brother.

The princes fell silent all of a sudden, in the past, because of a sentence that the country relied on the monarch, three princes directly lost their qualifications to succeed to the throne, but now they are back.

"Gentlemen, I don't think it's appropriate.

The position of the emperor is heavier than Mount Tai, in the past it was a sentence of the country's reliance on the monarch, and finally handed over the society to the hands of the emperor, which led to the displacement of the world, and the society was almost overturned.

The world can no longer withstand the toss, and the world can no longer bear an emperor.

We need to be careful!

We must carefully consider the character and character of the king, love the people, listen to advice, pay attention to our virtuous ministers, and abandon the treacherous people. ”

Luo Si looked at Lu Chan, who was talking eloquently, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He had communicated with Lu Chan many times, and Lu Chan was ready to return directly to Lu Hou Kingdom to pretend to be dead when the matter was over, and would never exert his strength in Chang'an again.

This time the Lu family is really too showy, which is inconsistent with the Lu family's family motto, but the premise of pretending to be dead is to choose an emperor who will not liquidate.

For Lu Chan, the best choice is his sister Lu Ying's son, Lai Xihou.

That child has been filial, modest, and courteous since he was a child, and he never complained about the people around him when he was most difficult.

"Is there a candidate for Lu Hou?"

Lu Chan paused, looked around, did not answer, but bowed down and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the day before yesterday, on a whim, I used tortoise shell divination, and the hexagram shows that in the next twenty years, I will be sick and miserable, and only by quietly worshipping the emperor can I survive. ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes had different expressions, some were shocked, some were full of doubts, and some were thoughtful, all of them were different, but everyone understood the meaning of Lu Chan's words.

Lu Chan didn't seem to see everyone's faces, and said: "Therefore, Jiaodong mourns the king, has good conduct, benevolence and benevolence, should be the best choice for the king, but unfortunately died at the hands of Liu Dan and Sang Hongyang, for more than ten years, Liu Dan has acted perversely, and the people miss him more and more."

Jiaodong mourned the death of Wang Xu, Liu Dan was still not satisfied, first seized five counties, used the excuse to remove the country, the prince was demoted to a commoner, and banned in Laixi, the prince and nobleman, actually lived on the street.

Even if he slipped into the abyss, he was still diligent and studious, courteous, not despicable in the market, and not self-conscious in the blood of the king.

Alas.

All the people of the world sympathized with him and spoke up for him, so he was able to accept the title of Lesy and become a prince.

Such a person is probably the best choice for a king. ”

Now that the princes' faces have calmed down, they know why Lu Chan said such a retreat, who doesn't know that King Jiaodong is his brother-in-law!

He wants to put his nephew on the throne, just like the first Marquis Lu did, the era of Empress Gao's regency is the most glorious time for the Lu family.

But after a little thought, the princes were reluctant to object, and Lu Chan said that he wanted to worship the emperor Suwang, so he would definitely not lie.

Lai Xihou succeeded to the throne, and one of the leaders of the Jingnan princes was his uncle.

Moreover, Laixihou and Liu Dan still have enmity, the more everyone thinks about it, the more they feel that it is appropriate, and if they put the throne in the hands of such an emperor, they can return to Kanto with peace of mind.

Then only one last question remains, "What is Lai Xihou's ability?" ”

"Lu Hou, the weight of the world, the first is the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is incompetent, the world will decline, I waited for thousands of miles of bloody battles, in order to support the Han Dynasty, for the Han Dynasty to be forever.

Now that the world is in turmoil, if you are not the Holy Lord Mingjun, you can't rule the world, can Laixi Hou be up to the task? ”

This is a matter of great concern to the princes of Jingnan, they do not want to choose a puppet to go up, but an emperor who can make the Han great again.

Lu Chan had already prepared, reached out and took out a pile of paper, handed it to the princes, and the princes took it with some doubts.

Read it.

Everyone looked at each other, exchanged opinions with their eyes, and Loes clapped his hands and smiled: "I have to be a king!" ”

I've got a monarch.

"The country can't be without a king for a day, we should immediately inform Chang'an and Guan Zhongmin, and then meet the new emperor, and ask Lu Hou to send an envoy to tell Laixi Hou, we are willing to serve him as the master!

Walk the world! ”

Lu Chan is excited, and the big thing is done.

Once his sister becomes the queen mother, the Lu family can stay in Jimo with peace of mind, even if he doesn't speak, no one will ignore it, and most importantly, he can be low-key with peace of mind.

The princes are also excited, once the new emperor is elected, the world seems to be cheerful, as long as we work together to quell the riots in Kanto and cheer up the situation in Guanzhong.

The society of the Han Dynasty will be as stable as a mountain, and the national situation of the Han Dynasty will definitely be thriving!

After a year of hard work, it is finally time to clear the clouds and see the light.

Everyone flocked to walk out, Los slowly walked at the end, looking ahead and laughing, all the smiling princes, looking up at the sky, he remembered that the ancestor Xuangong took King Zhu Ji Qin in the past, and finally moved the capital to Luoyang.

The current Jingnan princes don't seem to have this awareness, they just want to cheer up the situation, which even Los didn't expect, what a group of loyal ministers!

The new emperor, may you treat them well, and repay them for a hundred years!

Emperor Xiaoxuan, Emperor Xiaowu's grandson, Prince Jiaodong mourns.

In the fifteenth year of Yuanzheng, in May, the emperor had passed away, the country had no owner, and the princes were panicking, and the princes said: "The country must not be without a king, the emperor is in trouble, and the sons are guilty and must not be kings."

The Han family is virtuous, inherits filial piety, and chooses the descendants of the sages as heirs.

Emperor Xiaowu Sun is sick, twenty years old, by the "Mencius", "Zun Wang", "Guanzi", filial piety, benevolence and love, the virtue of Emperor Wen, the posture of Emperor Wu, can flatter the ancestors, prosper the community, and become descendants of the eternal inheritance.

It should be welcomed. ”

The princes said that they could ask the Marquis of Lu to give birth to Sun Lishe, wash and bathe, and give the royal clothes.

Zong Zhengli greeted the emperor and grandson with the emperor's heir, went to Zongzheng's mansion, entered the Changle Palace, and saw the princes of Jingnan.

The emperor and grandson sat facing the south, and the princes of Jingnan worshiped him and offered seals and ribbons.

Then he was the emperor, the high temple, and the tomb of the king, that is, the position of the Son of Heaven. ——"Hanshu Xiaoxuan Benji"
