"The king of Changyi arrived at Bashang before and after the rooster crowed, and the newly appointed Dahonglu was happy to welcome him, and the captain in charge of the carriage and horses rewarded the Son of Heaven with a golden reward."
Although Bingji was not young, and his face was tired after trekking back and forth, he still told Huo Guang the original story of what had happened in the past ten days, and now he has talked about Liu He's performance in Beijing.After repeatedly refusing to resign, according to the instructions of the general, he took him into Beijing in a car according to the specifications of the crown prince.Liu He only asked Da Honglu to let Chang Yi Lang, who had already resigned, order Gong Sui to accompany him into Chang'an, and Da Honglu allowed him. ”"At dawn, the convoy arrived at the eastern capital gate of Guangming."
Outside the Chang'an urban area, there is also the vast Guo District, the so-called 160 Lu, at least 150 li Lu in the Guo District, and the Dongguo District also has walls and gates, which are called Dongdu Gate."
Guangming" is Guangming Yuan, Bingji knows that the son of Prince Wei, the so-called "Emperor Shi's grandson" Liu Jin and his concubine Mrs.
Wang, are buried nearby.And Shi Huangsun's son, the emperor's great-grandson Liu Ai, was tied to the county prison when he was a baby, and it happened that Bingji was the right prisoner of Tingwei and managed the prison.He sympathized with the child's innocence, selected two female prisoners, and ordered them to take turns to take care of Liu Xun, and spend money to treat and care for him for several years, until he was released from prison by amnesty.This matter is a secret, Bingji has never told anyone, but he has always remembered and paid attention to the great-grandson of the emperor, but he claimed that he was also tied to the county prison when he was a child, and Xi'an Hou Renhong Bingji, who had received his favor, had no impression at all!
Right now, he is focused on returning the matter to Huo Guang, and every sentence is true, because Bingji knows that the eyes arranged by the general in the mission of the king are not only his pair.But language is such a wonderful thing, the same thing, said in a different tone, emphasizing different parts, giving people a completely different perception."
Gong Sui walked under the car of the king of Changyi, and as soon as he saw the Dongdu Gate, he bowed down and said: Ceremony, go to the mourning to see the national capital crying, this Chang'an Dongguo Gate also.""
King Changyi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately cried in the car, crying without tears, and his voice was hoarse.""
The king of Changyi howled all the way, and when he entered Chang'an City, he would arrive at the east gate of Weiyang Palace.Gong Sui also said that the mourning tent of Changyi Kingdom was galloping north of the Que Road, and it was less than a few steps away, and the king should get out of the car, prostrate towards the palace gate, and cry until he mourned to the fullest. ”"Wang He did so, and now he is staying in the Changyi Guo'an Mansion to wait for the edict, and Gong Sui is still following as a private servant."
Huo Guang listened to it and gave the first instruction: "Since Gong Sui pleaded guilty because of his incompetence, why can he still stay by the side of King Changyi?"
Let Tingwei take him away for interrogation, according to the law, he can do what he wants, and he doesn't have to care about the king of Changyi. ”According to what Bingji saw and heard, this king of Changyi was indeed "mad and unfavorable" as he said in the court at first, although Ren Hong only found out two mistakes on the surface, but in the eyes of an old official like Bingji, at least twenty sins can be listed.But it's all trivial, Huo Guang doesn't intend to pursue it, it is worth noting that after Hongnong was scared by Ren Hong and killed a close slave, King Changyi changed his previous style and became cautious, obeying Gong Sui's words, and not daring to be careless in etiquette.Huo Guang didn't want the monarch to be too smart, but he didn't want him to be an ignorant person who caused trouble to the Chinese and Korean dynasties, the current king of Changyi was okay, at least like an obedient person, in line with the image of the prince in Huo Guang's heart.There is no candidate more in line with the public and private interests of the Han and Huo families than the King of Changyi, so let's make do with it, can it be replaced?
Huo Guang raised his head: "Where is Ren Hong?"
”"According to the rules, Xiang Guangluxun returned home in a hurry after returning to his life."
Bingji said: "I heard that his wife, Princess Wusun, is about to give birth. ”Huo Guang's head, Ren Hong still has a weakness, that is, love, for the sake of love with Princess Wusun, he did not hesitate to reject his daughter, in exchange for a year of idleness, I'm afraid it's not comfortable, heh, let your mind be full of long-legged orchids.And Huo Guang gave him the position of "Captain of the Qiang Guard", which also had no soldiers and no power, but Ren Hong made achievements stubbornly.No soldiers?
He persuaded Taishou to recruit local people into the army and recruit the Satsuki clan.Not right?
After the establishment of the Jincheng vassal state, it did not set up a special captain, but was under the jurisdiction of the captain of the Qiang school, and its status was improved compared with before.Huo Guang understood that people like them, after tasting the taste of power, would be difficult to put down, so Ren Hongcai was so eager to grudge with the king of Changyi, and used the ruthless move of cutting off the retreat to show his loyalty to himself: "I have even been convicted of the future son of heaven, except for the general, who else can protect me?"
”Indeed, with the death of Emperor Daxing, who regarded him as "Wei Huo", Ren Hong could only turn back and return to the general.A trick tested the two people, Huo Guang was very satisfied, and even a little complacent."
The king of Changyi can inherit the unification, let Da Honglu arrange it immediately, let him enter the palace tomorrow to meet the coffin of the emperor of Daxing and the queen mother, and make him the crown prince first."
As for Ren Honghuo's mood that had been gloomy for many days, there seemed to be some signs of brightening, and he said secretly: "In the second half of the year, he will attack the Huns to save Wusun, and this son will make a big effort, it's time to give him a little real power." ”On this day, it is still in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, the hundred officials will come, the position is fixed, and the confessor leads the king of Changyi to sit in His Royal Highness, in the north.Imperial historian Cai Yi stood in the northwest of Liu He, standing in the east, and began to read the book."
The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are descendants, the Han system inherits, if there are no children, pass on the grandchildren.Today, the emperor of Daxing has no heir, and the grandson of Empress Xiaowu is Changyi Wang He, and the quality is far away, and the wind is beautiful, and it is appropriate to follow the unification.Inheriting the emperor's order, Lai Liesheng's Hongxiu, by the edict of the queen mother, Changyi Wang He Li was the crown prince, belonging to the order of Lun, and entered the Zongyi. ”After reading the book, Huo Guang, the general of the great Sima, personally held the seal of the crown prince and awarded Liu He to the east.This is not the first time Liu He has seen Huo Guang, he also had a Hajj meeting six or seven years ago, but he was young at the time, his mind was full of play, and he had no impression at all.And today is different, the people in front of him are Wang Ji and Gong Sui, who are all cautious ministers, and whether he can be the emperor or not depends on his will.At this time, watching Huo Guang walking slowly, Liu He's first reaction was: "So short!"
”Huo Guang is at least a head shorter than him, and his appearance is not outstanding, except for the distance between his eyebrows is a little wide, the rest are very ordinary.But according to his promise to Gong Sui, Liu He still lowered his posture, bowed down, and respectfully accepted the seal ribbon handed by Huo Guang.Huo Guang looked at Liu He, who deliberately bent down so that he could look at him at eye level, he didn't know what emotion was in his eyes, and only said in a deep voice: "The weight of the second prince, the style is solid, once there is a good yuan, with Zhen Wanbang, the prince can go to the coffin of the emperor of Daxing to cry and be polite, and do the ritual of filial piety." ”"General Xie!"
Liu Heru was relieved by the amnesty, but he felt a little strange."
Huo Guang, the general who is in charge of the power of the world, looks very kind, speaks softly, and is so short, how can it be described as so terrifying by others."
In comparison, Ren Hong, who had a loud voice and yelled at him three times and twice, seemed to be more terrifying and hateful.Liu He is too young, he doesn't understand that someone is fierce on the outside, someone is fierce on the inside, he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and the Marquis of Xi'an, who can directly offend Jun Yan, has now seen Huo Guang, and he is more well-behaved than anyone else.This hesitation, Liu He originally promised Gong Sui that he would add some drama by himself after taking the ribbon, so he didn't have time to do the process of bowing to Huo Guang again."
If you don't do it, it's not in the way."
Liu He followed the official to the coffin of Emperor Daxing in a daze, and began to cry bitterly, and he had to pause while crying.Although he had no choice but to let the king of Changyi enter the Chengzong Temple from other vassals, the patriarchal generations could not be messed up, and the king of Changyi had to pass by in front of the coffin of Emperor Daxing and be canonized as the crown prince, and recognized Liu Fuling, who was only three years older than him, as his father.From then on, Liu Fuling was Liu He's patriarchal father, while King Changyi was just a fake father by blood.All the officials are staring at the every move of this "crown prince", although the king of Changyi is laissez-faire and has a free temperament, but the royal etiquette of the princes has been learned since childhood, and it can be regarded as "rich in aristocratic heritage".After Liu He cried for a long time and his feet were stomped painfully, the third prince was promoted to the hall, and the ceremony was over.After recognizing his father and mother, Liu He had to bypass the coffin and come to the "Queen Mother" Shangguan to pay respects.There is no shortage of beautiful women around Liu He, but it is the first time he has seen such a fresh and refined one: I saw Shangguan Tang with a plain white linen belt on his head, a moon-white kudzu jacket on his body, a black linen cloth, a white plain skirt, and kneeling beside the coffin.His appearance is bent willow leaves, his face is not powdered, his expression is sad, because of long-term mourning and less food, his chin is more and more pointed, clean as a chrysanthemum of nine autumns, everyone sees pity.But even the decaying mourning clothes and the deliberately coiled mature hairstyle can't hide the immaturity of her fifteen-year-old girl, Liu He knelt down to her, and she stretched her waist to return the salute with her petite figure, so that Liu He's eyes were almost straight.I couldn't help it, and hurriedly looked down at the floor of the hall, and said in my heart: "The queen mother has a good appearance, and she is still a widow at such a young age, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”There are countless pairs of eyes staring behind him, and in front of him is Liu Fulingzi Palace, Liu He no longer dares to be rude in public, so he can only suppress the inappropriate cranky thoughts in his heart, lower his head and laugh down, and call the handsome girl who is younger than him, "Queen Mother!"
