Guangling country is located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in the later generations, next to the big river in the south, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the lakes and marshes are dense, at this time it is still not a rich place, it is a rice rice and a fish soup is drunk, and the dialect customs are close to the Eastern Chu, and it is completely different from Guanzhong.Some of the quaint beliefs that have gradually declined in the Central Plains continue to take root in Yangzhou, so the witches and ghosts of Guangling prevail, and the popular Yue witches of Chu and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are mixed here.At the end of May, in a hidden garden outside Guangling City, a secret ceremony was being held here, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, who could fight with dogs and bears, was lying on the ground respectfully at this moment, his eyes were full of admiration.Sixty-four boys and girls danced around the bonfire, dancing and shaking bells, and in the middle was an elderly witch, this is the famous sorcerer Li Nusu in Chu, who was constantly swinging, and after shaking for a long time, suddenly rolled his eyes up, and shouted: "Emperor Xiaowu is on me!"
”As soon as the words fell, the children and witches struck the bell and drummed, played the silk bamboo, and swallowed the knife and spit the fire, so that the surrounding clouds and mist were around, and the light was light.Liu Xu lowered his head, indicating that the ghost of Emperor Xiaowu had possessed the witch, and he asked his followers to kill the prepared cow immediately, and then he could make his request.Similar rituals have actually been done many times in Guangling Kingdom.Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, as the fourth son of Han Wu, has always thought that it is unreasonable for the first emperor to let his youngest son Liu Fuling succeed to the throne when he was dying.
Although the people are small, there are 30,000 elite soldiers.The younger brother raised troops in Guangling, west of Huai, and Liu Yanshou, the king of Chu.Because of the Ding Liang Song, he and his brother will meet in Luoyang, enter Chang'an, Kuang Zheng the world, and Angao Temple. ”But these two brothers didn't have the courage of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and the king of Yan shouted for rebellion for several years, but he didn't dare to move a single soldier until he was killed by the messenger sent by Huo Guang.And Liu Xu is even worse, he always waits and sees, and finally can't help it, he asks the wizard for divination, and when he is told that it is not good to raise an army, he gives up stupidly, and he is safe afterwards: "The Son of Heaven has no son, as long as he dies, it will naturally be my turn to take the throne, there is no need to take risks." ”So Liu Xu found Li Nuxu, this old witch is very good at séance, let Emperor Xiaowu possess her, and tell Liu Xu clearly when he was a child, even knowing that there is a birthmark on his buttocks, and said: "I will make Xu the son of heaven." ”Liu Xu is muscular, simple-minded, very superstitious, and he gives more gold silk, and asks Li's son-in-law to go to Wushan to pray for the curse, which really has an effect!
In late April, Liu Xu's son, Liu Ba, the prince of Guangling, delivered news from Chang'an: The Son of Heaven died!"
I am the only one among the sons of Emperor Xiaowu, isn't that" Liu Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and while rewarding Li Nuxu, he was preparing for the funeral of the court, and even considered how to get rid of the powerful ministers in the court.For example, on the day of the succession ceremony, when General Huo Guang gave him the jade seal according to the custom, he suddenly broke out and slapped the old man to death!
Let the Huo clan be scattered as birds and beasts.When Liu Xu couldn't fall asleep over and over, his mind was full of such scenes, and he was still hesitating and struggling whether to shoot with his left hand or with his right hand."
Why don't you strangle your hands to death, and look solemn."
But the left and the right waited, but what they were waiting for was the news that Wang He of Changyi was recruited into the court, and the imperial court sent a bamboo talisman messenger to order the king of Guangling to mourn in the country, and there was no need to enter Chang'an.Liu Xu thundered like five thunders, and became more and more sad and angry: "Liu He is just a widow's son and nephew, how can he be the son of heaven?"
This must be the minister's desire to continue to seize power, and he did it deliberately!
”If you are angry, you can't do it, but you don't dare to do it, what should you do?
Let's continue to curse.Liu Fuling's death made Liu Xu believe that Li Nu must have real skills, and she has regarded her as the secret weapon of Guangling Kingdom."
Liu He!""
I will make that Changyi child lose his position as the son of heaven!"
Li Nuxu's curse did not seem to take effect immediately, and on the first day of the sixth month of the first year of Yuan Ting, Liu He's enthronement ceremony was held smoothly.The black and white colors that shrouded Weiyang Palace for more than a month finally ushered in some changes today, and the ministers entered Weiyang Palace at night, took off their mourning clothes, put on auspicious clothes, and began to change from fierce rites to Jiali.The atmosphere is still solemn, the Guangluxun and Wuguan Zhonglang in the Suwei Palace will lead their own departments, hold the tiger halberd, the left and right compartments of the front hall, and the middle yellow gate holds the soldiers on the palace.When the day leaks on the water, the sky is bright, Dahonglu sets up nine guests, with His Royal Highness, the confessor leads the princes of the clan to arrive, and the west goes north.The three princes were in place, and to the north of His Royal Highness, in turn were the middle two thousand stones, the liehous, and the two thousand stones; After the doctor, the ministers and the companions all re-marched and entered the front hall in turn.The queen mother also came, surrounded by nobles, princesses, and women of the clan to the east, but Liu He could still see her at a glance, and temporarily changed her mourning clothes to restore the girl's bright and pretty beauty.After the position was determined, the formal procedure for the emperor's accession to the throne began, and the great general Sima appeared on the stage to ascend the hall from the steps of the emperor, and bowed to the north of the coffin of the first emperor placed there, and then read the Shangshu to take care of the order.When King Cheng of Zhou was about to collapse, he ordered to summon the prince and the prince Bi to lead the princes to King Xiangkang to take care of his life.But this Zaifu of the Han Dynasty plans to do the work of Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao together, and assist Wang Fukang Wang."
There is no way to pay tribute."
After the ancient recitation, which even Huo Guang himself didn't quite understand, walked towards Liu He and knelt down to give Liu He the jade seal that had been kept in the hands of the Empress Dowager for a long time.At this moment, Huo Guang seemed to be even shorter.Liu He was a little excited, swallowed his saliva, his throat ached faintly, and took the exquisite lacquer box containing the jade seal with both hands, and the various Rui beasts depicted on it were entwined around it, and there was no imaginary Shen, but it was a pity that he couldn't open the seal on the spot to play with it.From now on, he is the emperor and can be called me!
The matter was not over yet, and under the light cough of the ceremonial official, Liu He recovered from his excitement and found that Huo Guang was still worshipping in front of him.He could only hand over the jade seal to Qianqiu, a Changyi confidant who had just been appointed as "Shang Fu Xilang", and took three things handed over by the envoy of the head of the Zhonghuang Gate: jade, Suihou Zhu, and Emperor Gao's snake sword in Daze, Pei County.This sword was originally just an ordinary iron sword, and Liu Ji was not only used to cut snakes, but also to kill people and cut flesh.Now the appearance has changed greatly, the sword is decorated with colorful beads and nine jade, and the miscellaneous five-colored glass is the sword box, it is said that the sword is hung in the room, and the scene is still shining outside.Like the emperors surnamed Liu, it is obviously an ordinary or even mediocre weapon, but it is packaged as an artifact by power."
Why should this sword be handed over to the courtiers, can't I wear it myself?"
Liu He was a hundred reluctant in his heart, only to hear that this rule was originally injured when Emperor Xiao succeeded to the throne, and awarded the Taiwei Zhou Bo with a snake sword, and later when the first emperor Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, the Taiwei had become the great Sima general, repeating the story of a hundred years ago.This ceremony follows this ceremony, and the meaning is actually very clear: sacrifice by the Son of Heaven, and government and conquest by the Huo family!
The ministers were all watching, and when Liu He took the jade seal, they didn't have a mountain call, until the general took the snake sword and got up, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all said long live.With bursts of cheers, Liu He's eyebrows raised, enjoying this moment: "Today I know that I am the emperor's noble!"
”But Yang Yun, who was standing at the end of the hall, felt strange, and secretly said in his heart: "Long live, is this shouting the new emperor or the general?"
”After the main ceremonies ended, the Weiyang Palace, which had been under martial law for many days, was finally released from the security of the city gate and the palace gate.The ministers took off their auspicious clothes, and then wore mourning clothes, and the enthronement ceremony came to an end, and the next major event in the court was to funeral for Emperor Daxing, and to pay attention to the burial of the cemetery In the eyes of most people, this matter is more important than the crusade against the Xiongnu to rescue Wusun.And Liu He took Anle, who was named "Captain of the Horse", took over the position of Jin Jian, and entered the greenhouse hall, from now on, this huge palace is his house!
Liu He first couldn't wait for people to open the large and small jade seals: not only the jade seals of the country, but also the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, a total of six, the seals are all white jade tiger buttons, and the seals of all seals are given to the princes and kings; Xinxi, sent troops to recruit ministers; The Son of Heaven travels to the seal, worships foreign countries, and does things with heaven and earth.He was most interested in the jade seal handed down from the first emperor in history, Qin Shi Huang."
This is the famous He's Bi, and there is really no flaw at all."
Liu He stroked the artifact made of beautiful jade, sighed, and pressed it on the white silk, and the eight characters engraved by Li Si appeared on it."
Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!"
Yes, he was ordered by heaven, and his position as the son of heaven did not come from the favor of the ministers, but directly from the heavens, and by the blood of Emperor Gao!
Liu He sat on the couch of the Son of Heaven and rolled around, and after enduring it for a long time in the front hall, he finally couldn't help laughing at this moment: "Hahaha, my father failed to get the position back then, I helped him get it back, I am the emperor, the seventh emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
”The two young emperors before and after Lu Houli are not counted, even Liu He knows that they are not the sons of filial piety, and their reign is too short!
One person was the emperor for four years."
And I am different, my throne will live forever!"
In Liu He's view, the possession of this seal represents the possession of power, and from the moment he got it, Liu He's spirit was very different, and he lost the caution he was when he first entered Weiyang Palace.He couldn't wait to wield the power of the Emperor.It stands to reason that the first edict issued by the new emperor is often an amnesty for the world, and Liu He also listed Gong Sui in the amnesty ranks, so as not to make him too small to migrate.And the second edict, according to Gong Sui's suggestion before leaving, to welcome him into Chang'an to reward the ministers, from the general Huo Guang to the four ministers in the mission, must be included, no marquis is a marquis, there are hundreds of thousands of households.Yingli was originally a great achievement, when the Han Emperor entered Chang'an, he immediately rewarded meritorious deeds, Yifeng Taiwei Zhou Bo Wanhu, Prime Minister Chen Ping, General Guan Yingyi each 3,000 households, even the Qi Wang's line of Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, Dongmu Marquis Liu Xingju also 2,000 households, so that all the contributors have benefited.The only thing that made Liu He's heart feel good was that Gong Sui specially emphasized that Ren Hong should be rewarded heavily, so as to show the broad-mindedness of the new son of heaven."
Does the Son of Heaven have to be broad-minded?
How did I hear that Emperor Xiaojing is quite vindictive. ”Liu He muttered, reluctantly drafting a list of rewards, but at this moment, An Le took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony today, 2,000 stones and hundreds of officials have arrived, but the minister found that only one person did not come!"
”"Who?"
Liu He raised his head, he had been in a state of excitement and fluttering, his eyes were on the jade seal, the snake sword and the queen mother, and he didn't pay attention to whether there were one or two people missing from the ministers.An Le kept staring: "Xi'an Hou Renhong is not in his position, he has not even entered Weiyang Palace, he openly despises the Son of Heaven, this is a great crime of disrespect!"
