Two and a half quarters before sunrise, for the day leakage of water, the sky has appeared fish belly white, and the door of the front hall is finally opened.The prime minister, the imperial doctor, and Jiuqing, who were qualified to participate in the final decision, walked out one after another, and Chang Hui saw that Su Wu's face was not very good, so he moved to his side: "Su Gong" "The person who entered the Beijing to mourn is Wang He of Changyi. ”Su Wu knew what Chang Hui wanted to ask, and directly told him the answer, and in a few moments, the matter would be announced in the form of an edict, and all officials would know about it."
It's him!"
Chang Hui secretly admired in his heart, and looked back, but he didn't see Ren Hong, he was a person who could keep secrets, and he didn't expose Ren Hong.Su Wu had a complicated heart about this candidate, he supported Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, completely out of public interest, but he was vetoed by the general.In the front hall, his henchmen Tian Guangming and Tian Yannian proposed that the grandson of Empress Xiaowu and Wang He of Changyi could inherit the throne.Everyone who was not a descendant of the Huo family was surprised, and then Zhang Anshi immediately slapped his hands in agreement, Han Zeng hesitated for a moment and then agreed, Jiuqing all accepted the general's will, but Su Wu was silent, and understood why Huo Guang gave up Guangling and took Changyi."
Something similar happened more than a hundred years ago."
That was after the pacification of the Zhulu rebellion, the young emperor who was supported by the Empress Lu was not the son of filial piety, and the new emperor was to be selected from among the princes and kings.Liu Xiang himself thinks so.However, Zhou Bo and Chen Pingping, the founding princes of the country, did not like Liu Xiang, on the pretext that his mother's maternal uncle was vicious, and he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Lu family's dictatorship.In fact, he is afraid of the strong military strength of the Qi State, if the King of Qi enters Chang'an, assisted by his brother Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang and others, then what is the matter with the military merits?
So among the sons of the princes who supported Emperor Gao who were still alive, the eldest acting king Liu Heng naturally took a fancy to his mother's weak family and weak national strength, and he should be able to be at the mercy of the princes after entering the court: "If you are a good person, the minister will be safe." ”Although it turns out that they underestimated the king.Back then, he was the eldest grandson and the son of Emperor Gao, and today he is the king of Guangling, the son of Xiaowu, and the grandson of the "Queen of Xiaowu".Although it is reasonable in terms of etiquette, it is not because the young King of Changyi succeeded to the throne, which reassured the general more than the King of Guangling and could continue to gain power.Su Wu thought about it carefully, if King Guangling was too strong after succeeding to the throne, he clashed with the general, but it would delay state affairs even more.Either way, or not, as long as it is beneficial to the big Han, he finally agreed to this proposal, unanimously passed, and everyone was happy.The sky is bright, and this dark and long night has finally passed?
No, not yet, the sun that drilled out of the horizon was still obscured by a thick layer of black sun, and there was no light.Su Wu muttered: "There is a way in the world, and the Lile expedition comes from the Son of Heaven." ”The long-term dictatorship of the ministers is not a solution, and now that the throne has been decided, although he doesn't know much about the king of Changyi, he can't judge whether he is wise and wise, but Su Wu still has faint expectations and extravagances in his heart."
I only hope that Wang He of Changyi will become the second Emperor of Filial Piety!"
In the front hall, kneeling in front of the coffin of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang, who had not slept all night, was a little tired, and he had been busy all night, and now the major event was settled, but he still did not dare to relax his nerves after a day's tense day.The general is a good chess player, he can take one step and see ten moves, although he can't completely predict the future, but no matter what happens, he is prepared.For example, in the second year of Zhenghe, in order to show Emperor Xiaowu that he had never overturned the case for Wu Gu and denied his intention to conquer for decades, Huo Guang cautiously proposed that Mrs.
Li be the Empress of Xiaowu.This practice of taking the initiative to cut off relations with Wei's relatives won Huo Guang's trust in Xiaowu, and gave him the picture of Zhou Gong becoming the king, and this matter has also become an idle move, and today the Son of Heaven died suddenly, which came in handy.Huo Guang's bottom line is that King Guangling must not succeed to the throne, compared to it, Changyi Wang He is obviously a better choice, and can also dispel the rumors that are destined to spread in the world.Things have come to this point, Huo Guang's henchmen did not dare to be careless, Tian Yannian suggested in a low voice: "Although the general decided to mourn the lord of Changyi, but must not be careless, after all, the king of Changyi is a prince for more than ten years, and the old ministers of the domain will definitely follow when he enters the dynasty, just like when he entered Chang'an, he will be accompanied by Bo Zhao, Zhang Wu, Song Chang, etc. ”When the Han Emperor first entered Chang'an, thanks to the assistance of these former ministers of the Daidi, he was able to gain a foothold in the Weiyang Palace, and then slowly set out to deal with Zhou Bo and Chen Ping.Unlike Emperor Daxing, who was firmly monitored by Huo Guang and even reported to the general with a golden reward, the former ministers of King Changyi were huge in scale, and there was no shortage of talented people, so they could naturally gain the trust of the new monarch, which would be a force that could not be ignored."
What are the ministers of Changyi Kingdom?"
Huo Guang looked at the imperial historian Cai Yi, and Cai Yi reported the list one by one."
In the Han system, there is one person each for the kingdom, the lieutenant, the Taifu, and the internal history, all of which are 2,000 stones, and there are Lang Zhongling, the young master, and the rank of 1,000 stones.""
An Le, when the witch Gu was a grain official of the Northern Army, he blamed Ren An, the captain of the army, moved the official, and was the minister of Changyi in the fifth year of the first century, the commander of the people, and the general program of the auxiliary king.""
Wang Ji, Langya people also, with filial piety and honesty to make up Ruolu County right Cheng, soon promoted to Yunyang County Order, after the virtuous and virtuous, to participate in the salt and iron discussion, Yuanfeng two years, for the Changyi Wang lieutenant, in charge of the military position, ready for thieves" "Lang Zhong Ling Gong Sui, Shanyang people also, with Ming Jing as the official, the first six years to Changyi Lang Zhong Ling, guarding the left and right. ”According to the new rules of the Han Dynasty to manage the princes after the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the minister, lieutenant, and Fu were not allowed to cooperate with the state government and assist the king.In fact, the power is in the internal history, and the governance of the country is like the county taishou and the governor's ministry, and he has the right to remove the subordinates and be responsible to Chang'an.Therefore, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the kingdom often fell in love with the princes and kings, which was a high-risk occupation, after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, firstly, the princes and kings had no real power and were unable to rebel, and secondly, the ministers of the kingdoms were not very in charge, and the relationship between the two sides was much more harmonious, but the prime minister was directly appointed by Chang'an, and had the task of monitoring the princes and kings.Cai Yi also mentioned one thing: "The young master of the king of Changyi is Xiahou Sheng, first the doctor of Shangshu, Yuan Feng was dismissed in the fifth year due to the dispute between heaven and thunder, and returned to Changyi, and was promoted to the young master by the king of Changyi at the beginning of the year to teach the prince to learn." ”Changyi is the base camp of the Xiahou Shangshu School, and it makes sense to go back, but in this way, on the side of the king of Changyi, there are actually two people who have had a holiday with Ren Hong?
Huo Guang knew it in his heart and thought it was interesting, although he wanted to know about the ministers of Changyi Qiandi, but to be honest, if the master couldn't do it, what was the use of the eagle dog no matter how powerful it was?
He chose Liu He, the king of Changyi, of course, not because of his "virtuous and filial piety", Huo Guang had heard of Liu He's two deeds.The first is that the king of Changyi was young and was raised by the slaves of Changyi State, so he did not pay attention to respect and humility to his subordinates, and often played games and ate with slaves and slaughtered people, and also acted generously and rewarded excessively.The second is that he doesn't like the Five Classics, but he likes to fight, and he was expelled and ran in the fiefdom, and was reported by a certain Yanzhou assassin who wanted to grasp his political achievements, saying that "his behavior is unacceptable".Wait, isn't this the same crime as King Guangling?
In Huo Guang's opinion, this is actually nothing, after Emperor Xiaowu became the Son of Heaven, he still ran horses and trampled on the people's farmland near Chang'an.What Huo Guang liked the most was the small report of Changyi's domestic history and the state minister An Le to the imperial court, saying that Liu He was "crazy and unfavorable".To put it bluntly, it's not smart enough.Huo Guang needs such a person to be the "King of Kang", it's okay to eat, drink and have fun, it's okay to fight if you like to, the south is hanging arch, isn't it very good for the Huo family.After all, the wise son of heaven, Huo Guang has already served two of them, and he is tired.The general always has two hands to prepare for things, although he urgently chose the king of Changyi, and he also knows a little about his person, but he still carefully tested it to understand that he is really crazy and playful, or pretend!
In the past, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping welcomed filial piety into Weiyang, and what they fancied was "assisting the kind and kind people to succeed to the throne, and the minister can rest assured".Don't worry!
The front foot put the wife and four sons from the Lu family to death, and the back foot began to provoke Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, so that the liehou was divided into two factions to break and win over.In the end, under the pretext of letting them go to the country, Lao Zhou was kicked out of Chang'an, and in the end he was even tied to prison and humiliated by the officials.Huo Guang didn't want to end up like that, so the people sent to welcome the king of Changyi into the dynasty this time had to be carefully selected."
Who were the people who Qu Yingxiao entered Chang'an back then?"
The servant Du Yannian reported: "Pawn, Zongzheng, Taizhong Doctor, Zhonglang General." ”The pawn is the current Da Honglu, who is responsible for the affairs of the princes, and the Taizhong doctor is the current Guanglu doctor."
Da Honglu Wei Xian's subordinate official Liu Ziyong, together with all the living slander of the court and imprisonment, Wei Xian failed to stop it, and has taken the initiative to resign, Zigong, you have been a great Honglu, temporarily take his place, this time Yingchangyi entered the court, and you will be the main one!
Tian Guangming promised, he is Huo Guang's confidant, and he is also an old minister, Jiuqing, with outstanding military achievements, and he is enough to preside over the overall situation."
Doctor Guanglu's words, let Bingji go."
Bingji is also Huo Guang's person, he is a native of Ludi, the base camp of Confucianism, but he was born as a prison official who studied the law, and was responsible for passing the county prison where the prisoners were held after the witch Gu, and then moved to the general Changshi, Huo Guang was very important, not only let Bingji be the doctor of Guanglu, but also added to the matter.With the two cronies of Bingji and Tian Guangming, what happened on the road to the king of Yingchangyi this time, and the words and reactions of Liu He and his ministers in the mansion could all reach Huo Guang's ears without any mistakes.Needless to say, after Huo Guang weighed it, there was only one person who could be used to test the strength and heart of the king of Changyi, which would be a key chess piece: on the one hand, there were old ministers of the domain, and on the other hand, there was a new upstart in the court who had a grudge against him, but was famous, how would the king of Changyi deal with the relationship between the two sides?
And after being beaten by him once, how the "Wei Huo" of the first emperor would behave in front of the new monarch is also what Huo Guang wants to observe.After Huo Guang said the candidate, Tian Yannian, Tian Guangming and others looked at each other."
General, but he's not a lieutenant general."
Huo Guang said lightly: "Is it now that the jade seal is sent to the queen mother?"
”"Sent it."
Emperor Gao's sword of the Son of Heaven and the jade seal handed down from the Qin Dynasty were both crucial props when the new emperor succeeded to the throne.In this special period when Emperor Daxing died and the new emperor did not ascend the throne, they were kept by the Empress Dowager Shangguan's family, and the authority of the Han Dynasty fell into the hands of a girl who was only fifteen years old, although she was only Huo Guang's seal.Huo Guang still remembers that when he was the first assistant to the young master, the coffin of Emperor Xiaowu stopped in the front hall of Weiyang.He then summoned the "Shang Fu Xilang" who held the jade seal and asked for the jade seal.The Lang official refused to give it, Huo Guang wanted to take it forcibly, but the Lang official actually pressed the sword and said: "The minister can get it, but the seal can't get it!"
”After more than ten years, this remark is still loud, so that Huo Guang can not forget it for a long time.Although Shang Fu Xilang, who was promoted by Huo Guang by exception, no longer knows which distant border county in Dahan to go to be a big official.And the ministers of the court and the central government were submissive to him, and no one could stand up and stop him from taking the seal.Should Huo Guang be happy and proud of this?
But why did he only feel endless sorrow and tiredness in his heart?
The general's mood suddenly became complicated, and he was heavily blamed for the coffin of the Son of Heaven.After a while, an edict came out from the Empress Dowager: "Inherit the edict of the Empress Dowager, send Zuo Fengyi to concurrently carry out the Dahonglu affairs Tian Guangming, Zongzheng Liu De, Guanglu Doctor Bingji, and Zuo Zhonglang will be Ren Hong, and welcome the king of Changyi to enter Beijing for funeral!"
