Chapter 11: Who Will Be the Successor? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
The spring breeze blew, and the suburbs of Chang'an gradually began to turn green, and then it rained, and the raindrops were a little dense, with a forest cold that did not belong to spring.
Luo Yi stood in front of the window, looking at the dripping spring rain, only to feel a slight chill soaking into the bone marrow and then heading towards the limbs.
"The head of the family, the hall is about to be filled with princes and princes."
Luo Yi didn't have any expression on his face, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind that just yesterday, Liu Yang, the son of heaven, collapsed.
The Son of Heaven, who was heartbroken by the witch Gu thing, did not want to see any so-called relatives and close ministers.
The ministers obeyed orders outside the palace, and Liu Yang only said that the edict had been handed over to Duke Zhao, and it was about the succession to the throne, so he directly asked everyone to return.
The ministers wanted to ask the emperor if he was in a coma, but Luo Yi had a calm face and an expression that no one was close to, which made everyone hesitate a little, and it was not to go, nor was it to go.
Moments later, the Son of Heaven collapsed and did not wake up again.
Luo Yi dullly commanded the palace attendants to restrain Liu Yang's body, and first stopped the spirit for a few days before burying the emperor's tomb.
Fortunately, Long Qing's body had been buried in the emperor's mausoleum first at Liu Yang's insistence.
Otherwise, even Luo Yi would not find a reason to bury Long Qing and Liu Yang together.
Thinking of this, Luo Yi, who had been looking out of the window with his hands in his hands, seemed to have suddenly awakened a stone statue that had been sleeping for a thousand years, and vitality appeared from his body, turning around and walking towards the hall.
Entering the hall, it was densely packed with people, not like they came to visit, but like they were going to the court, and when they saw Luo Yi appear, the group sat up in an instant, and they didn't have any feelings for each other.
"Prime Minister, Emperor Daxing has collapsed, and there is no one else qualified to preside over the aftermath except you.
You still have the edict in your hand, and now all the ministers here are ministers of the country, so please show me. ”
Luo Yi's voice did not fluctuate, he reached out and took out an edict, and said lightly: "The edict is here."
The ministers of the dynasty are all here, so let's discuss His Majesty's nickname first. ”
There is definitely no temple number, but it is also not easy to give a nickname.
Because Liu Yang is too complicated, the first few years of his succession to the throne were quite absurd, "stingy with love", "thrifty and stingy without virtue", "obscenity and confusion", "forgetting virtue and losing courtesy", this kind of criticism but not very strong evil can be installed on him.
But since Zhaogong Luo Yi entered Chang'an, Liu Yang has cheered up and made great achievements, especially with Luo Yi here, being evil is equivalent to denying Liu Yang's life, so what is the change?
"The prime minister, the ministers thought that 'mourning' might be in line with Emperor Daxing, and he died early in middle age."
The name is divided into three grades, the good one, the middle one, the evil one, the mourning is a typical one, the typical feature of the one is that there are derogatory and wrapped, there are four interpretations of 'mourning', the early death of middle age is partial to the righteousness, expressing a kind of regret and sympathy.
This epithet is usually given to convey the meaning that if the king can live a little longer, the country will definitely be strong.
Now the change has just begun to show some effects, this is not the darkness before the dawn, but the dawn of the dawn has been seen on the horizon, but it has directly collapsed, how can this not make people feel sorry?
Everyone nodded slightly, "It's probably okay to mourn the emperor." ”
"No."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, interrupting everyone's words, Luo Yi and the others saw that it was Zong Zheng, seeing that everyone was looking over, Zong Zheng said expressionlessly: "The first name is justice, and I don't say much about the merits of the Emperor Daxing, but filial piety cannot be used."
He favors Long Qing, and he does not have a harem, so that he collapses without an heir, and he does not pass on the heirs from the clan, so that the storage position is unknown, is this worthy of the ancestors?
I am the Liu Zongzheng, the Emperor of Daxing can not be on the word filial piety, if you are the secretary of state for the Emperor of Daxing today on the word of filial piety, I don't say much, only to go to the crown and go. ”
Rumble!
Zongzheng's words set off a lot of waves, the last one in the Han Dynasty did not have the word filial piety or Emperor Liu Dan, and someone immediately said: "Emperor Xiaoding also has no children, why can he use the word filial piety?" ”
Zong Zheng said calmly: "I said, Emperor Daxing favors Long Qing, and he does not have a harem, so that he has no heirs, and he can't do it, but he can't do it!" ”
The tone is calm, but the meaning expressed is not calm, and he is even scolding angrily, he can give birth to a son but he doesn't give birth, he can do it but he doesn't do it, this is Liu Yang's fault!
Everyone was silent at this moment, and even Luo Yi didn't speak.
In the Han Dynasty, after the death of the prince and princess, there will be all kinds of afterlife, such as posthumous sealing, accompanying the funeral, the emperor has a temple number, and there are eulogies, but only the name is the most valued.
Because the first thing is justice!
This is the only thing that the Emperor of Heaven is the only one who does not dare to hide it.
Now what Zongzheng is talking about is justice, and for the sake of this justice, he is even willing to remove the head of Jiuqing, Zongzheng's official position.
Luo Yi looked around and saw everyone's expressions, so he said: "According to what Zongzheng said, just the word 'mourning' for Emperor Daxing." ”
As soon as the prime minister made the final decision, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense, and everyone looked at each other a few times, and then put their eyes on the edict.
Luo Yi slowly unfolded the edict in the eyes of everyone, "Edict: I am dying, who will sit on the emperor?"
The ministers will probably follow the example of Emperor Xiaoding, and appoint a vassal king as emperor from among my brothers.
I don't agree!
I have many fathers and heirs, and I have inherited the throne as a son-in-law, and I am close to all my brothers.
Although I can't be crowned king in all of them, I have never been less rewarded, but what have I gotten?
It's a shameless betrayal!
I wondered, how many of my brothers were still looking forward to my death?
I don't know.
But there must be something inside, and my throne may well fall to someone who is looking forward to my death.
Alas.
In that case, the emperor did not choose from them.
I succeeded an outstanding young man from the clan as my son and gave him the throne.
It is up to the prime minister to determine the final candidate, and choose a filial and courteous one, which is a gift from me. ”
A very colloquial holy decree shocked everyone in the room, because he was afraid that his brother who cursed him would not die well would take the throne, so he directly cut off all the chances of his brother to ascend to the throne.
It's ruthless!
The smart man saw another meaning from it, and Liu Yang saw it too clearly.
The subsequent emperor didn't know who it would be, what if Long Qing was dug out of the mausoleum?
What if you discredit him?
What he wants is a lonely heir of the clan, and the kind of orphan who has no parents.
In this way, the new emperor can only rely on Liu Yang's legacy and Liu Yang's father, and only in this way can he retain the things behind him to the greatest extent.
This is what Liu Yang asked Luo Yi for, he knew that Luo Yi didn't care who the emperor was, and it didn't matter if he chose it according to blood proximity.
Luo Yi looked at everyone's shocked expressions, and said lightly: "This is the case with Emperor Daxing's edict, presumably all the ministers are thinking about the right candidate in their hearts just now."
Now it's time to start again. ”
With Luo Yi's voice, everyone came back to their senses, and immediately someone shouted: "Duke Zhao, how can this be a chaotic throne from the estranged clan?"
How could the emperor not choose among the sons of Emperor Xiaocheng?
This is not in line with the tradition of the Han Dynasty! ”
Luo Yi asked indifferently on his face: "The tradition of the Han Dynasty?"
Is it a tradition of the Han Dynasty to end up with a brother?
Isn't it the tradition of the Han Dynasty that Emperor Daxing chose a son from the clan to succeed him and inherit the throne as the son of Emperor Daxing?
Father's death and son's succession are better than brothers' deaths, don't you know such a simple truth? ”
The truth is indeed very simple, but I am unwilling, so I will argue.
It was only at this moment that the ministers understood why Liu Yang wanted to give the edict to Luo Yi, because such an obviously deviant edict could only be guaranteed to be implemented in the hands of someone like Luo Yi.
When Luo Yi recognized this edict, everyone in the room understood that this edict was recognized, and the sons of Emperor Xiaocheng, the most prominent princes and princes of the Han Dynasty at present, were disqualified from inheriting the throne.
"Prime Minister, since Emperor Daxing has an edict and has chosen you as the final choice, do we have anything else to say besides execution?
But the Han Dynasty has been in existence for nearly two hundred years, and there are many sect branches, so where should the sect branch be chosen to succeed to the throne? ”
It was Zongzheng who spoke, he was responsible for managing the entire Liu clan, and he knew the situation within the clan best, thanks to the division of the Han Dynasty, and now in the whole world, the Liu clansmen are very vigorous.
Luo Yi had already seen it, and he had also thought about this question for a long time, and said directly: "Let's choose from the sect branch of Emperor Xiaoxuan." ”
Hearing Luo Yi's words, everyone in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least they didn't start from Emperor Gao's branches, if they really started to choose from so far ago, the world would be in turmoil!
————
After mourning the collapse of the emperor, the prime minister was appointed to an edict, saying: "The Han Dynasty rules the world with loyalty and filial piety, the clan is close to the branch, vainly trying to kill the king, and the witch is a disaster to the country. ”
Filial piety is capable, outstanding between the clans and branches, and then there is a crown. ——"Hanshu Xiaoshao Benji"
