Chapter 334: Proposed Edict

After Prince Liu Sheng was in charge of the country, almost everyone agreed that Tianzi Qi, who had worked hard for many years and eventually became ill from hard work, was finally able to find time to recuperate for a while.

- Including Liu Sheng, in fact, he thinks so.

After all, after Prince Liu Sheng was in charge of the country, almost all the government pressure that had been pressed on the shoulders of Tianzi Qi in the past was transferred to Liu Sheng.

Originally, the whole process of review, investigation, discussion, and finally a solution and decision was originally required, but now only the item of 'whether to adopt Liu Sheng's suggestion' requires Tianziqi's energy;

There is no doubt that this is definitely a relief for today's Tianzi Qi, and it also saves a considerable part of time and energy.

However, Tianziqi's physical condition did not gradually improve as expected by the government and the opposition, and it did not even slow down the deterioration.

Just like at this moment, Tianzi Qi fell into a deep coma again, and most of the Chang'an court team gathered in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace.

In the past year, similar situations have occurred more and more frequently, and in the last two months, it has developed to the extent that it happens every thirteen or four days······

"Fainting again?"

"The last time Your Majesty fainted, it seems that it was only half a month ago, right?"

"What's the matter, fainting again?"

Kneeling far away from the position close to the gate hall and away from the imperial couch, the ministers couldn't help but secretly think: How did Tianzi Qi's physical condition deteriorate so quickly?

On the couch, Tianzi Qi's eyes were slightly closed, his hands were naturally folded in front of his abdomen, and he lay down on the couch very peacefully.

If it weren't for the chest of Tianzi Qi, who was slowly bullied with that faint snort, I was afraid that everyone in the hall would immediately make a muttering in their hearts: Your Majesty, are you still angry?

How does it look, as if ······

"How?"

"Emperor, what kind of disease is it?"

"Why do you stay awake every ten days?"

On the edge of the imperial couch, the Empress Dowager Dou lowered her head with a sad face, although she couldn't see the scene in front of her, the palm that had been eroded by the years also trembled and stroked the cheeks of Tianziqi.

Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's soft question, the old lady doctor on the side was already sweating profusely, and he didn't know whether he was tired or frightened.

"Empress Dowager;"

"Your Majesty has worked hard for many years, and he is already frail, and he has not followed the doctor's instructions, so he is far from wine."

In recent years, he has even taken the initiative to supplement with the participation of the party and the locality. ’

"——That party ginseng, the minister has checked it, and it does have medicinal properties and great tonics, but it is even a yang thing."

"Your Majesty's yin is deficient and yang, yin and yang are not in harmony, the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and eating this thing to yang greatly replenishes it, which makes the yin and yang in the body unbalanced."

"In the past three or five months, Your Majesty has only eaten half a bowl of rice porridge per meal."

"As the saying goes: human diseases and diseases are born in the land of grains, and the land of grains is the spleen and stomach."

"Your Majesty's body is full of yang and yin, the spleen and stomach are not open, and it is difficult to eat in the throat."

"If you don't recuperate, I'm afraid, it's already a lack of skills······"

tremblingly said his diagnosis, the old lady raised his hand tremblingly, wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, and at the same time did not forget to take the opportunity to sneak a glance at the face of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Behind the old imperial doctor, most of the imperial physicians who belonged to the imperial physician were all with a worried and uneasy face, and their eyes were locked on the Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting on the edge of the imperial collapse and was still reluctant to caress the cheeks of the Son of Heaven.

Tianziqi's physical condition is actually no secret for a long time.

At least for the important ministers inside and outside the government and the opposition, 'Your Majesty's body is not very strong' has been the news for several years.

The loyal ministers of the court, and several years ago, they roughly got the news that 'Your Majesty is sick', not to mention the other emperor of the Han family: the Empress Dowager Dou.

In fact, as early as more than a year ago, when Tianzi Qi, who was still barely in a healthy state, proposed that Liu Sheng be the "crown prince in charge of the country", Empress Dowager Dou already knew that Tianziqi's body and bones might not last long.

In order to meet the last wishes and plans of Tianziqi, and also to make Tianziqi easy for a few years and live for a while, Empress Dowager Dou finally agreed to Tianziqi's request and agreed to the prince's imprisonment.

If not?

Hey!

It is no exaggeration to say: If there is no nod from the Queen Mother, let alone the crown prince supervising the country, even if the new monarch is established, there will be a legality procedure!

As long as the Queen Mother throws out the sentence 'I don't recognize this new emperor', no matter how much the new monarch is expected to return, no matter how much he is the eldest son of the first emperor, the crown prince, or holding the edict of the first emperor, it is meaningless.

To give a very simple example, you can understand what kind of decision-making power the queen mother of the Han family has on top of such a major political decision.

——From Taizu Liu Bang's establishment of the Han Dynasty to the abdication of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, this thing has been more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, and every powerful minister and thief who wants to abolish the establishment has never dared to anger the queen mother of the Han family.

Even the edict of the abolition of the Son of Heaven was obtained from the Queen Mother by these powerful ministers and thieves, or by coercion and inducement, so that it finally had legitimacy.

For example, in history, when Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying died untimely without warning, and there was chaos inside and outside the government and the opposition, and no one knew what to do next, Empress Dowager Lu dropped a sentence of 'Liu Gong, the eldest son of Emperor Xiaohui, the former young emperor Liu Gong, who was only four years old, really became the new monarch of the emperor's throne.

Four years later, Liu Gong, who had reached the age of eight, was bewitched and learned that his mother was 'killed by Empress Dowager Lu', so he angrily approached Empress Dowager Lu to ask for an explanation.

Liu Gong said: How can the queen kill my biological mother and treat me as the queen's son?

I'm still young, and when I grow up, I must get revenge!

(Can Hou'an kill my mother and name me?) I am not strong, strong is change! )

As a result, Liu Gong, the young emperor who was the dignified son of heaven, was imprisoned and died in the deep palace because of Empress Dowager Lu's fluttering sentence 'The emperor is crazy~'.

Liu Gong 'died violently due to illness', the government and the opposition were confused again, and it was Empress Dowager Lu who stood up and slapped her head: Liu Yi, the king of Changshan, is a good child, let him be the emperor;

For the convenience of the world, I have to change the name of this child, let's call it Liu Hong.

This is the Hou Shao Emperor in history.

If Empress Dowager Lu has too high particularity and irreferential nature because of her status as the 'founding queen', then we can continue to look down.

In the first year of Emperor Yuanping of the Han Dynasty (74 BC), Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty died at the age of 20, with no children under his knees, and the emperor was the heir.

At this moment, the powerful minister Huo Guang stood up and almost single-handedly persuaded the Empress Dowager Shangguan to summon Liu He, the king of Changyi, who had just ascended the throne, to Chang'an for the funeral.

In June of the same year, Liu He, the king of Changyi, was ordered by the Empress Dowager of Shangguan, and the side branch was transferred to the Jiyanzong and ascended to the throne of the Han Emperor.

And then?

Scold;

——Just twenty-seven days later, Liu He was listed by the Great Sima and the Great General Bolu Hou Huo Guang, and there were 1,127 charges!

On average, every day after sitting on the throne, Liu He committed forty-one random 'big crimes', all of which can be called the 'big crime' of common anger.

Then, Liu He ended his 27-day experience card of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and was abolished by the Empress Dowager Shangguan and demoted to the Marquis of Haidu.

Some people may ask: The Empress Dowager Shangguan is the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, why did she listen to Huo Guangyi's foreign ministers like this?

But after knowing that the famous Empress Dowager Shangguan actually wants to call Huo Guang 'grandfather', I'm afraid no one will ask such a question······

After that, it was naturally Wang Mang, the 'traverser' who usurped Liu Han and established a new dynasty.

Most people only know that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and took over the throne of Ruziying' from the hands of the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty: the two-year-old Ru Ziying.

But few people know that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, in fact, he also operated and planned for many years, starting with Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and then precipitated during the reign of Emperor Ping of Han and Emperor Ai of Han;

In the end, with the help of his aunt Wang Zhengjun, the Empress Dowager, he was able to usurp Liu Han.

Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty after Wang Mang's 'failure to cross the counterattack', Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, was born and Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, whenever the abolition of the Son of Heaven occurred, the figure of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty never disappeared between the lines of the historian's pen.

The reason for this is none other than the monstrous authority that the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty has naturally possessed since the beginning of the Empress Lu Pheasant: as the common mother of the whole world, and even the wife of the emperor Laozi, the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty has the power to abolish the Son of Heaven.

Only when the Queen Mother nods, and the abolition of the Son of Heaven is sensational in the eyes of later generations, will it be considered 'legitimate' and 'reasonable'.

Even the abolition of the Son of Heaven can be decided in one word, not to mention Meng Lang's move of the crown prince to supervise the country, which may cause turmoil in the government and the opposition and send a signal to the outside world that 'the transfer of power is underway'.

To put it bluntly: from the day she promised the Son of Heaven to let Prince Liu Sheng supervise the country, Empress Dowager Dou had been mentally prepared to meet the arrival of this day.

But when this day really came, Rao was already prepared, and the Empress Dowager Dou was still a little unacceptable for a while······

"How could it be ······?"

"How can it be so ······?"

···

"I think back then, the first emperor had a heavy back illness and it was difficult to return, and the medicine stone was useless, so he ordered the prince to supervise the country;"

"There is a prince staring at the inside and outside of the court, and the first emperor has unloaded the burden, and he has finally been relieved for a few years."

"How did you get to the emperor, obviously he has already unloaded his burden and ordered the prince to supervise the country, but he is still ······"

Listening to Empress Dowager Dou's somewhat wooden murmur, the ministers and officials in the palace only shook their heads and sighed in unison, and lowered their heads deeply.

- This kind of thing is not something that anyone can interject in, or even think about in their heads.

The Queen Mother issued such an inquiry, except for the few imperial doctors who had the responsibility to answer the order, most of the other people were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, so as to show that they 'didn't know that His Majesty was ill at all'.

The Queen Mother asked, even if she didn't indicate who she was asking, someone still needed to answer;

Fortunately, this time, the old ladies were not embarrassed again.

Standing up is the only son of the late Nanpihou Dou Changjun and the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dou: when the dynasty is Fengchang, Nanpihou Dou Pengzu······

"At this time of crisis, Queen Mother, take care of ······"

"Your Majesty's illness has indeed been around for a long time, and the lesion is deep-rooted, and it has not been cultivated for many years to reach such a field."

"As long as there is room for salvation, the imperial physician will not say that His Majesty has no skills to return to heaven in front of the Manchu Dynasty, in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen······"

···

"Your Majesty is sick, he can't wake up from sleep, people inside and outside the government and the opposition are panicking, although the prince has been imprisoned in the country, he is also young and has not been crowned."

"At such a juncture, it is the Queen Mother'······"

"-uh~~~"

Before Dou Pengzu's words fell, the slight sound on the royal couch made the entire Xuanshu Hall quiet!

When everyone recovered from the brief shock and followed the prestige, they saw the bloodless Tianzi Qi, who had already sat up with the support of the imperial doctor.

Glancing around the hall with a sloppy gaze, and then looking at the edge of the imperial couch, Tianziqi's gaze finally fell on his mother sitting on the edge of the couch: Empress Dowager Dou.

"Son, I heard ······"

"Even if you don't hear it, your body and bones are ······ in your heart."

Extremely weak, so that the hearing is as keen as the Empress Dowager Dou, and the faint tone that can only be heard by leaning down subconsciously only caused the hearts of everyone in the hall to tense slightly.

I saw that after a little try, Tianzi Qi finally fell back on the couch like an appointment.

When the Empress Dowager Dou also stood up with a long sigh, squatted down on the side of Tianziqi's head, Tianziqi's hoarse and faint voice was relayed by the loud voice of the Lang official on the side, and reached the ears of everyone in the hall.

"If people eat grains, they will be born, old, sick and die, and the way of heaven is unavoidable."

"Today, I am seriously ill and lying on the couch, and I am about to go on a big trip, and the Queen Mother and all the princes are here, and I want to entrust me with the things after my death."

"Author: The prime minister drafted the edict, the queen mother heard it herself, and the imperial historian and the secretary of state as evidence······"

···

"I have a squinting body, and I am here in the world Yuanyuan, although it has only been more than nine years, I feel like a world away."

"The merit is high, there is no one more than Emperor Taizu Gao, and the virtue is the highest, no one is Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."

"I have no success in the country, causing the military disasters of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, threatening to subvert the temple and ruin the society;"

"My virtue is shallow, I can't stop it when I am loyal and good, and I can't stop it, and I am the first emperor who has left his virtue and come to the world Yuanyuan, trembling, like walking on thin ice······"

"Today, there is a prince, who says: Victory, Yunwen Yunwu, the love of all the people in the world, the support of hundreds of officials, and the view of stealing, can inherit the temple."

"Naizhao: The crown prince is the son of heaven, and he is not involved in politics for the time being;"

"I often hear: men are twenty years old and crowned, but the men of my Han family are seventeen and Fu, so this ancient and modern law has its own similarities and differences."

"Therefore, the crown prince ascended the throne, and those who were less than twenty years old were all issued by the East Palace Changle."

"Waiting for the twentieth year, the court secretary will invite Changle together, perform the crown ceremony to adult, book the pepper room and get married, get the permission of Changle, and you can ······ the government of the court."

···

"Worship: Lieutenant of the crown prince and Taifu, the Marquis of Jianling, is the prime minister of the left, and he is in charge of the Zhongsu guard;"

"Where the south and north of Chang'an, as well as the fine willows, thorns, and the overlords, the edicts of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager, the Fu, and the Seal are all ready and cannot be transferred."

"I collapsed, buried in Yangling, don't mourn the whole country;"

"The people wept for three days, the officials mourned for seven days, and the people of the sect stopped in the middle of the decade······"
