Liu Sheng is not very clear: compared with the original historical timeline, whether Tianziqi lived a few more years or a few years less.

But according to what Tianziqi once said to Liu Sheng in the early years, when the position of the prince was undecided, it was inferred that in this historical timeline, Tianziqi may have lived three or five years less.

——In this timeline, the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, missed the position of the crown prince because of his mother Li Ji.

Liu Sheng can also roughly deduce: If it weren't for his own variable, Liu Rong in this timeline would not only lose the position of the prince and his mother, but even his own life would not be saved.

Moreover, according to the position expressed by the Son of Heaven on the canonization of the crown prince, Liu Sheng's indiscriminate entry most likely robbed the throne that originally belonged to Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor.

With this in mind, looking back at Liu Rong's situation in this timeline, it is not difficult for Liu Sheng to draw the following conclusions;

——In the original historical timeline, the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, first missed the qualification for the crown prince because of his mother, and then lost his mother Li Ji.

After that, the Son of Heaven Qi 'pulled the general from the short man', or it should be said that he excluded the first nine of the practice, and finally chose the 'new number' of Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, to practice from scratch.

Because the tenth son of the emperor was established as the prince, the Son of Heaven Qi will inevitably kill Liu Rong out of the consideration that 'Xiao Shi can't suppress the eldest son of the emperor'.

In that timeline, if Liu Sheng had not come forward as the crown prince and saved the life of his eldest brother Liu Rong, Liu Rong would most likely have died before the Son of Heaven, or even before Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, was established as the prince.

And now, Liu Yu, the tenth son of the emperor who has been crowned king, is only nine years old;

In the original historical timeline, the nine-year-old prince Liu Yu will definitely not rest assured, and he will inevitably hold on to it and try his best to hold on until Liu Yu is crowned - at least close to the crown.

But in this timeline, Liu Sheng, who is older, reluctantly relieved Tianziqi.

Coupled with Liu Sheng's inconvenience, Tianziqi accidentally came into contact with the unplanned factor of 'Dangshen', which overdrew his vitality in the last few years in advance······

Combined with all these things, in short, in short: the Son of Heaven in this life only barely lived to be forty years old.

Born in the first year of the Empress Dowager Lu, he became the crown prince at the age of nine and inherited the throne at the age of thirty-one.

In the ninth year of the Son of Heaven, in the early part of autumn and July;

After the imperial doctor's decree made it clear that 'from today onwards, every time Your Majesty faints, he may not wake up again', Tianzi Qi lasted for more than a month;

But in early July, after this last fainting, the Son of Heaven really did not wake up again.

On the twelfth day of the seventh month of the autumn, Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Ren to follow the order of the Empress Dowager Dou to carry out the needle in the Xuanshu Palace, intending to forcibly awaken the Son of Heaven in order to make the final explanation.

But after Zhou Ren's needle, Tianziqi only woke up for a moment, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

When he woke up at that moment, Tianzi Qi only briefly explained a few words to his mother Empress Dowager Dou, his wife Empress Jia, and the crown prince Liu Sheng;

That night, in the bell room of Weiyang Palace, there were nine death knells that made the whole world feel a heart-wrenching sound.

- The princes rang six times, and the nine sons of heaven collapsed.

In the ninth year of the Son of Heaven, in the middle of the night of the twelfth day of the seventh month of autumn, Liu Qi, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, died in Weiyang Palace······

·

"Please enter in order;"

"The Queen Mother, the Empress and Your Majesty have been waiting for a long time······"

Weiyang Palace, outside the Xuanshu Palace.

Almost as soon as he heard the nine death knells that sounded over Chang'an City, all the ministers and officials of the Manchu Dynasty put on the mourning clothes that had been prepared long ago, and then appeared outside the Sima Gate of Weiyang Palace.

For the Han family, after today, it is destined to be a new chapter.

And this new chapter needs to be opened by the entire pyramid of power before dawn today······

"Let's go."

"Enter the palace with me, listen to the instructions of the Emperor Daxing, and then pay homage to the new monarch."

Prime Minister Tao Qing said a word, and all the ministers and officials only nodded their heads in unison, and then poured into the palace from Sima Gate;

So much so that few people noticed: the eunuch who came to convey the order changed from the eunuch Ling Chuntuo, who was accustomed to hundreds of officials, to the young Taigong Zhongche Ling: Xia Que······

"Ministers, see the Queen Mother~"

"Emperor Daxing died, and the ministers waited like a knife, and their hearts were like ······ knives"

"I hope that the Queen Mother will mourn, at this time when the Lord is in doubt, the overall situation of the Lord ······"

poured into the Xuanshu Hall and saw the three figures on the imperial couch, but the hundred officials and ministers automatically ignored the rest of the mother and son, and only bowed to the Empress Dowager Dou in unison.

On the royal couch, the Empress Dowager Dou, whose head was tied with a mourning cloth, only let out a long sigh, and then nodded slowly and inaudibly.

"Sit down······"

"Sit down······"

The Queen Mother spoke, and the Hundred Officials and Ministers did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and sat down on both sides of the Xuanshu Hall in order according to their respective ranks.

It was only at this time that the hundred officials dared to raise their heads slightly and look at the three ancestors and grandchildren on the royal couch.

——Already in the temple to worship the ancestors of the temple, although not yet officially the emperor's throne, but also already wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, the crown of twelve sulfur on the head, and in the crown of the Xuan wearing filial piety, the new monarch Liu Sheng, who is wearing a filial piety belt in front of the forehead, only weeping silently sitting in the center of the imperial couch.

The Empress Dowager Dou sat on the right side of Liu Sheng, holding the brown and red dove cane, full of grief, but also strong to show a majesty exclusive to the Queen Mother;

Queen Jia did not sit on the royal couch, but knelt on the left side of the imperial couch, the tears on her face were not dry, and her eyebrows and eyes were still red.

"About ten years ago, I was here, in this Xuanshu Palace, bidding farewell to my husband, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han family."

"Today, I am here again, and here in this Xuanshu Palace, I have sent off my son······"

"People often say: The greatest sorrow in the world is nothing more than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person."

"Such inhuman grief, I can be regarded as experiencing it today······"

···

"Alas······"

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry too much."

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao died in Changle and ordered Emperor Xiaohui to inherit the unification, the responsibility shouldered by the Empress Dowager of Han has been set by the Empress Dowager Lu."

"Although I don't have the ability of the Empress Dowager Lu, nor the broad-mindedness of the Empress Dowager Bo, I don't know the responsibilities of the Empress Dowager······"

"When Emperor Daxing was dying, he left an edict to explain the temple and Sheji;"

"At that time, the prime minister, the imperial doctor and other ministers were also present."

"Now, Emperor Daxing's palace car Yan is driving, and the prince has also worshiped his ancestors to the temple, dressed in Guanxuan, and sat on the royal couch of the Xuanshu Palace."

"Then the prime minister will take the lead, lead the ministers and hundreds of officials, and respectfully ask for the edict of the emperor of Daxing······"

Empress Dowager Dou's extremely mournful tone only caused the hundreds of officials in the palace to burst into tears;

At the moment, it was really not for the time when Liu Qi, the emperor of Daxing, wept and mourned, so he saw everyone wiping their tears, and then under the leadership of Prime Minister Tao Qing, they got up and lined up neatly in the center of the hall.

"The right prime minister Kaifeng Marquis Tao Qing, led the court's hundreds of officials, ministers and nobles, and listened to the emperor's testament!"

"Prime Minister Zuo Jianling Marquis Wei Xuan, with the ministers and hundreds of officials, congratulations to the Daxing Emperor's testament!"

"Ministers, congratulations to Emperor Daxing's posthumous teachings!!"

The hundreds of officials in the hall sang in order, and each said the sentence 'Congratulations to the Daxing Emperor's last words', and then saw that on the side of the imperial steps, the late prince who had changed into the official uniform of the confessor washed the horse and Jidi, holding the white silk cloth that was gently folded with both hands, and came to the center of the royal step with solemnity.

turned around, bowed to the Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Sheng on the royal couch, and Queen Jia on the side of the imperial couch, and then turned around again, facing the ministers and officials in the center of the palace, and spread out the silk cloth with a solemn expression.

"The edict of the Emperor Daxing, hundreds of officials knelt down to hear it~"

The long singing sound only provoked hundreds of figures in the hall to kneel to the ground;

I saw Ji Di speak softly, and then recited the edict that had already been drafted and polished by the imperial historians and scholars.

"The edict said: At night, the king of Qin practiced tyranny and suppressed the sea, stealing the position of the Son of Heaven, making the world miserable, the people unbearable, and the people living in poverty."

"It's old and sick, Qin Wangzheng doesn't think about what is behind him, but summons the world's warriors and sorcerers to Xianyang, wanting to seek the way of immortal immortality."

"After the failure, the sand dunes, Zhao Gao and Li Si usurped the edict and established Huhai, which caused the death of Qin II."

"I often hear: the past is not forgotten, and the future is also a teacher."

"The Qin Wangzheng does not follow the way of heaven and wants to do things against the sky, which causes the world to be poisoned by wars and wars, and I will not take it."

"——There is a proverb among the people, saying: Those who eat grains and grains will be born, old, sick and die, and the way of heaven is irreversible."

"Today, I am doing the great thing, it is the way of heaven, in order to bless the prosperity of the Han dynasty and continue to last, which is the great fortune of the Han family······"

···

"The crown prince wins, he has to stand in the year before the crown, Yunwen Yunwu, benevolence and righteousness love the people, filial piety and friendship between the young and the young, but the temple."

"It is to make the crown prince win the Han Guozuo, that is, the emperor."

"The crown prince is young and has not been crowned, and he will not be regent for the time being, and the queen mother will temporarily hold the power of the Son of Heaven until the new monarch is crowned and married."

"It is to tell the world: I have no merit in the society, and no virtue in the people of the world, that is, collapse, do not mourn the country;"

"The coffin was stopped for seven days and buried in Yangling, and the funeral things should be simple, and the accompanying officials should be widowed."

"The people weep for three days, the officials weep for seven days, and the people of the sect can ······ in ten and a half"

As the high-pitched reading voice dissipated, hundreds of figures in the hall had already bowed down and wiped their tears;

Such an edict can be said to have nothing that can poke people's tears.

Its main purpose is nothing more than that Emperor Liu Qi of Daxing will explain the things after his death, such as who will inherit the throne and how to handle future affairs.

But it is precisely because of this that all the officials in the palace feel so sad.

- Your Majesty······

- is still so pragmatic, not saying a word about the scene, not saying a word of politeness;

- Even the edict has such a strong personal character······

"Emperor Daxing's edict~"

"The crown prince Liu Sheng, that is, the emperor's throne, worships the ancestors and sues the temple, for the son of Han Dynasty~"

"Hundreds of officials bow down, accept their loyalty, follow the instructions of the emperor, and be the ministers of the new monarch for generations~"

Another chanting sounded, and the officials and everyone hurriedly stood up;

Seeing that on the imperial couch, the Empress Dowager Dou had already stood up with the support of the palace people, retreated to the side of the imperial couch, and gave the entire imperial couch to Liu Sheng.

After Liu Sheng raised his head, revealing his immature face full of tears, the hundred officials knelt down again.

"Ministers, see Your Majesty~~~"

"May Your Majesty be eternal, and be happy for a long time~"

"I hope that Emperor Daxing will bless me Hanzuo, and it will last forever and extend~"

The sound of the hundred officials fell, and after no more and no less than three breaths, Liu Sheng on the royal couch also got up with tears;

The scorching gaze swept over the hundreds of officials in the hall in turn, and Fang arched his hand and bowed to the hundred officials in return.

didn't open his mouth to sing, just turned around, walked aside, took the arm of the Empress Dowager Dou from the hands of the palace people, and helped his grandmother back to the imperial couch and sat down.

At this time, it became the Empress Dowager Dou sitting in the center of the imperial couch, but Liu Sheng was standing sideways beside the Empress Dowager Dou.

This simple move has already shown Liu Sheng's attitude: although I succeeded to the throne, the power of the government is still in the hands of the Queen Mother!

Realizing Liu Sheng's intentions, the hundred officials bowed down again to show that they fully obeyed the decision of Emperor Liu Qi and the new monarch Liu Sheng.

Baiguan straightened up, and his long voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty's Edict~"

"Hundreds of officials kneel to welcome ~~~"

Ji Di's voice fell, and the hundred officials, who had just straightened up, knelt down again.

"In the year when I was not crowned, I inherited the weight of the temple and the society, and this blinking body is close to the Yuan Yuan of the world, trembling in actual combat, walking on thin ice;"

"Fortunately, there are elders in charge of the dynasty, and there are loyal people to serve on the side, this sincere ancestor blessed, the world is also a great blessing."

"Although he is not in charge of the dynasty, he also uses this edict to tell the world:"

"——The death of Emperor Daxing, I am very sad, and it is to make the local counties and countries of the world: his whole country mourn."

"Those who are on the dukes and under the public shall cry ten times in the morning and evening, for seven days;"

"The Duke of Jue, the Marquis of Guannai, or the rank of a hundred stones, weep thirty in the morning and evening, for fifteen days;"

"The marquis of Jueguan, the rank of Qianshi, and the relatives of the Liu clan and the clansmen, cry fifty-five in the morning and evening, and the period is fifty-five days."

"According to the instructions of the emperor, the coffin was stopped for seven days and buried in Yangling, so that the kings of Linjiang, Hejian, and Jiangdu would immediately send Chang'an to mourn their father."

"Honor: The Empress Dowager Dou is the Empress Dowager;"

"Honor: Empress Jia is the Empress Dowager;"

"Zun: The princess of the pavilion Tao is the eldest princess;"

"Worship: Therefore, the crown prince and the prince Jianling Hou Weiwan are the emperor's concubines, and he will go to the post of prime minister of Zuo and temporarily receive a lieutenant;"

"Wei Qihou, Zhang Wuhou, Nanpihou, each overflowing and sealing thousands of households;"

"E: Empress Dowager Jia's brother Jia Gui is a loyal marquis, with 500 households."

···

"Emperor Daxing died, and I was very sad, so I ordered the court to discuss and choose a good word to judge the merits and demerits of Emperor Daxing;"

"Emperor Daxing wiped out Wu Chu, and went to the disadvantages of the disrespectful princes of my Han family, although the merit is not as good as Emperor Taizu Gao, it is not much worse."

"It is to order Fengchang and Zongzheng to judge the temple music of the Daxing Emperor to comfort the Daxing Emperor in the heavenly heroic ······"
