Chapter 219: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne (2)
When Zhuang Shaoyou arrived at the court, most of the officials in Luoyang City had already arrived, and only a few people remained, including the great Sima He Jin and his wife Fu Yuan Kui.
Zhuang Shaoyou still has the title of Jinwu and leader on his head, and his rank is much worse than He Jin and Yuan Kui, and he still belongs to the list of Qing, but no one dares to think like this anymore, after all, the strength is there, and today it is bound to rise!
Zhuang Shaoyou walked slowly to the room, and the officials around him all came forward to greet Zhuang Shaoyou warmly, Zhuang Shaoyou greeted them perfunctorily, and at the same time accelerated his pace and walked towards his seat.
At seven o'clock, He Jin and Yuan Kui came together, and everyone was a little stunned, what kind of situation is this?
Today is the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and He Jin also came a little early, and he didn't step on time as usual.
He Jin seemed to turn a blind eye to everyone's surprise, stretched out his hand to Yuan Kui and said, "Lord Yuan, please first!" ”
There is silence in the courtroom, this world is too crazy, why can the butcher be like this? Hell yes!
Yuan Kui arched his hand: "The general has tormented Yuan, or you please first!" ”
He Jin laughed, he never knew what politeness was, but today he was unprecedentedly polite, and even he felt awkward!
Today, Yuan Kui was pulled by He Jin to come to the court, Yuan Kui is not voluntary, there is no way to cooperate with He Jin before, it is just to use each other, but Yuan Kui looks down on He Jin the most in his bones, how can this butcher He De? It's simply the scum of the court, the shame of the Han, and the most rubbish general in history! It's simply an insult to the name of the great general!
As for He Jin so wooing, Yuan Kui is heart is like a mirror, nothing more than wanting to use the Yuan family's momentum for his use, one is to fight against Zhuang Shaoyou, and the other is to oppress the original ally Shichangshi! I heard that in the past few days, because of the enthronement, He Jin has quarreled with the ten permanent servants several times!
This guy with no reputation and no connotation, the Yuan family didn't dare to put a bet on him! Yuan Kui is actually optimistic about Zhuang Shaoyou, but the falling flowers are ruthless! Yuan Kui's nephew Yuan Shao and Zhuang Shaoyou are still so stiff, and they are very close to He Jin, Yuan Kui also has a headache about this!
Seeing He Jin coming, the officials of the court stepped forward one after another to greet him warmly, even more enthusiastic than they had just treated Zhuang Shaoyou! There is no way, General He is about to rise, and his power is also rising, after today, he is the uncle of the country, and no one can compare! Even if Zhuang Shaoyou is afraid it will not work! People have the support of the emperor, and it will be more justifiable to repair Zhuang Shaoyou when the time comes!
In this duel, the courtiers thought that He Jin's chance of winning should be more than seventy percent! The only thing I'm worried about is that Zhuang Shaoyou's dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and a fish dies and the net breaks, which will have a big impact! However, there are still a lot of speculators looking forward to their Mars hitting the Earth! Let's end up together, so that others can raise their heads!
Power is like a drug, you will be addicted to it! Who doesn't want to climb up the ranks? Those who climb to a certain high position, who doesn't want to be the most powerful person in the world?
For example, Henan Yin Wang Yun!
In the last struggle, Wang Yun, as a traditional powerhouse in Luoyang, was excluded from the inner circle, which made Wang Yun very annoyed! This time, you must not be a spectator again!
There are not a few officials who feel the same mood as Wang Yun, and the three ministers or those who think they have some status and power all think so! After all, as a character with a head and face in Luoyang, it is very fun to fight life and death on it, but I won't take you to play! This is the most unacceptable! How can it be embarrassing to call people's favors?
This focuses on the mentality of participation, and those high-ranking officials are all gearing up today! Because everyone can see that the battle of Xiyuan is just the beginning, and the big drama in Luoyang has just opened! It's still too late to join, and based on general common sense judgment, most officials intend to bet on He Jin!
It's a pity that these outsiders in the bureau can't see through the situation and are in turmoil, but they use common sense to judge the change of the situation, which is doomed to tragedy from the beginning!
He Jin surprisingly didn't put up any fights today, and warmly greeted the officials who came over, with a polite corporal posture, quite a bit of a leader's condolences to his subordinates.
But when he saw Zhuang Shaoyou, who was sitting not far away drinking tea, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his eyes were blazing at Zhuang Shaoyou, he snorted coldly, and sat down in another seat.
At the beginning of the hour, with the sound of a rapid and majestic drum, the officials in the court room began to move, but they still waited patiently for He Jin and other high-ranking officials to go first, and then followed behind and walked towards the main hall.
The enthronement of the emperor has always been the most important ceremony of the Han Dynasty, and there is no one! All kinds of procedures and etiquette are extremely complicated, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the founding Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who once held a grand enthronement ceremony, he also went to Taishan District to seal Zen, and was scolded by others!
After Emperor Guangwu, since Emperor Ming has returned, the enthronement ceremonies of the emperors of the past dynasties have been repeatedly streamlined, and when Emperor Ling of Han ascended the throne, due to the emptiness of the treasury, he really couldn't afford to handle too grand ceremonies, so he had to keep everything simple.
Today, when Liu Wei ascends the throne, it is even more simple, for no other reason, there is still no money! Of course, even if you save it, you won't save anywhere, and it is still quite lively for laymen, such as Zhuang Shaoyou, who thinks it is quite luxurious.
Today's enthronement ceremony is relatively concise, roughly several processes, fasting for three days before ascending the throne, these three days Liu Wei was locked up in Tai**, there was not even a palace maid by his side, and he ate the most humble vegetarian food, and he almost didn't suffocate Liu Wei to death! If you don't eat meat, you don't sleep and don't touch women, what's the point of life?
On the fifth day of the seventh month, before dawn, Liu Wei was awakened, bathing and changing clothes with a reluctant face, and was served by four little eunuchs to wear a dress, this set of dresses was tossed for more than an hour before it was put on, three layers inside and three layers outside, it was the midsummer of July, and Liu Bian, who was still full of hope, was tossed so that he could not survive and die!
But Zhang Rang has always been by his side, so Liu Bian can only endure it, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake at all, for Zhang Rang, Liu Bian also has palpitations, one word: afraid!
"Too, you have to remember what the old slave said, don't make any mistakes at that time and make others laugh!"
After chattering for a morning, Zhang Rang was still not at ease, and told him that although it was a little shabby today, the ceremony was still very important, and it must be solemn and important, and there could be no mistakes! Otherwise, not only Liu Wei will be embarrassed, but even Zhang Rang, He Lian and others will be embarrassed!
Because everyone knows that Liu Wei is just a puppet! However, even if it is a puppet, it can't make people feel like mud that can't hold up the wall! At least the superficial work has to be done!
At the beginning of the hour, hundreds of officials entered the Zhengyang Palace, the largest palace in Luoyang, there is no one! Including the enthronement ceremony, the first month of the great court meeting, etc., are carried out in the Zhengyang Palace, which is the most solemn place in the Han Dynasty.
The hundred officials were headed by He Jin, followed by Yuan Kui, and Zhuang Shaoyou found a random place in the front row, and everyone stood still in turn.
With the sound of Zhang Rang's old duck crying, the enthronement ceremony officially began, first Zhang Rang read out the "edict" of the first emperor, of course, this edict is just borrowed from Liu Hong's name, the content is not written by himself, anyway, he will not jump out and refute the corpse! Don't mix the dead with the living!
As for the content of the edict, Zhuang Shaoyou already knew it.
The great general He Jin took the position of the great Sima and gave the wife protection!
Sikong Yuan Kui, give Mrs. Fu!
Holding Jinwu and leading the army Zhuang Shaoyou to be crowned the general of the auxiliary country, give the young master!
This is just the edict of the first emperor, and when Tai Liu Wei ascends the throne later, the word Tai in front can be removed, He Jin has become Taibao, Yuan Kui has become Taifu, and Zhuang Shaoyou is Shaofu.
Taishi, Taibao, and Taifu, collectively known as the three orphans, are the highest honorary titles; The young master, the young master, and the young master are collectively called the three young masters, which are second-class honorary titles, and they can only be given to those who have made outstanding contributions to the Han court, and the three orphans and three young can be regarded as the emperor's masters, and their status is respected.
After the promulgation of the edict of the first emperor, and then Tai Liu Biao ascended the throne, walked up from the backstage, sat on the huge dragon chair, very awkward, Liu Bian's thin body, wrapped in a brocade robe and dress, the appearance was very funny, Zhuang Shaoyou rolled his eyes, this kind of garbage can also be an emperor, it is really a country will not be a country!
Zhuang Shaoyou was still very curious at first and looked around, but as the ceremony progressed, he gradually began to feel bored and bored, and couldn't help but yawn and drowsy!
"Where is Zhuang Shaoyou!"
A slightly immature voice came, startling Zhuang Shaoyou, who was dozing off, and carefully discerning the voice that seemed to be a little eunuch, Zhuang Shaoyou thought he was hallucinating, but when he looked up, he found that Liu Weizheng on the dragon chair was staring at him with fiery eyes, and he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly came out of the ranks:
"The minister is here!"
"Why didn't Zhuang Shaoyou kneel when he saw me?"
Zhuang Shaoyou was suddenly a little stunned, but he quickly woke up to it, this is nothing to do! This little pervert is really good at picking the time, but what to do now? It stands to reason that kneeling for the emperor is not a big deal, and the enthronement ceremony just now has also been kneeled.
Seeing that Zhuang Shaoyou was silent, Liu Wei was even more angry: "Zhuang Shaoyou, you have no eyes!" Sin deserves death! Come on, drag him down and cut him down! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was still hesitant just now, a little annoyed, but this time he was angry, and he just wanted to speak, but when he saw Zhang Rang in the hall, he turned his head and glared at Liu Bian fiercely, which made Liu Bian tremble, and quickly said:
"Forget it, it's okay, I'm just kidding you!"
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became different, originally He Jin was very happy about this, and was about to see how Zhuang Shaoyou ended today, while thinking about whether it was possible to really cut him down, but when he heard Liu Wei's next words, his face turned purple, and he glared at Zhang Rang with displeasure, but Zhang Rang pretended not to see him.
Taifu Yuan Kui was still standing there expressionlessly, looking at all this coldly, and he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation on his face, but he didn't know what he thought in his heart!
