"Emperor Xiaowu is on me!"
At the beginning of December of the first year of Yuan Ting, on the outskirts of Guangling National Capital of Xuzhou Thorn History Department, on the edge of a cold lake that was inaccessible, another curse ceremony was underway.The great witch of Chudi, Li Nuxu, was playing again, and asked Emperor Xiaowu to appear on his body.The King of Guangling, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, lay on the side, watched this scene reverently, and hurriedly went over to call his father one by one.He has now completely determined that Li Nusu is a great sorcerer, and he really has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth and command the ghosts and gods.In April of this year, Li Nuxu fulfilled the curse of Emperor Xiaozhao, and the little emperor suddenly died of a heart disease.Liu Xu was overjoyed when he heard the news, killed the cow to celebrate, and waited for Chang'an to send seven times to pick up his succession.It's a pity that the powerful ministers in the court and the traitor actually gave up Liu Xu, the only surviving son of Emperor Xiaowu, and chose Liu He, the king of Changyi, who was his nephew.Liu Xu was furious, asked Li Nusu to shift the target, and began to pray and curse Liu He.And guess what?
Liu He, the king of Changyi, reigned for seventy-two days and was deposed!
This is something that has never been encountered since the Han Dynasty, and the other princes were shocked when they heard the news, but Liu Xu was overjoyed again and worshiped Li Nusu incomparably."
The generals and Luan Da that my father trusted back then are nothing compared to her, if I had found this person earlier, maybe my father would have been able to live forever!"
So Liu Xu doubled the reward for Li Nusu, and he was ready to enter Beijing as the emperor.But in the end, he was disappointed again, and the emperor elected by the ministers of the court came to him, and it was actually the emperor's great-grandson Liu Ai!
Liu Xu was stunned: "The grandson of the prince, why can he be made the emperor instead?"
Does the Han still have elders and young, and is there any patriarchal etiquette?
”The king of Guangling was extremely angry, and he wanted to raise troops to unite the southeastern princes and ask Huo Guangxing, who had done the abolition of the emperor, just five generals to attack the Huns, Chang'an was empty, and there was a good opportunity from God!
But before he could make up his mind, it was reported that the general was guilty of staying and cowardly to question the Huya general Tian Shun, and Tian Shun committed suicide.The Qilian general Tian Guangming also ended the expedition and returned to Shuofang, and Tian Shun's army returned to Guanzhong.At the same time, the general Fan Minh You of Duliao also ended the expedition and went south from Youzhou and was stationed near Luoyang, obviously guarding against the princes.Liu Xu was very inward-looking, and counted the six counties in his jurisdiction, two of which were given by Xiaozhao.Together, there are at most 30,000 soldiers, and the kingdom minister, internal history, and lieutenants will never be attached, and Fan Mingyou alone can't pass the pass, and he immediately dispelled the idea of rebellion.It's better to stay for a while, anyway, he has a big killer Li Nusu, who will suffer, don't worry, don't worry.Right now, Liu Xu is asking Li Nusu to curse Liu Ai, according to the ability of the Great Witch, I think that Liu Ai will not be able to take the throne for long, either he will die violently, or he will be abolished by Huo Guang again.But the day after the curse ceremony, Liu Xu received news from the imperial court: the edict issued in the autumn ordered all princes and kings to enter the Hajj to meet the new monarch in the first month of next year, and this edict is still valid, and the princes can set off."
The edict has not been changed, but it is just a change of emperor."
Liu Xu scolded in his mouth, and wanted to pretend to be sick like Liu Bi, the king of Wu, but he didn't dare, for fear that Huo Guang would send troops to crusade under the pretext that he would not enter the Hajj to meet the new emperor.I reluctantly took my two daughters who wanted to go to Chang'an to see the excitement, and left Guangling to go north with great fanfare, but left their sons behind and let them always inquire about the news of Chang'an.The predecessor of Guangling Kingdom was Jiangdu State, and further back to Wu State, surrounded by Linhuai County, and arrived in Surabaya Country to the north.The first generation of the king of Surabaya was Liu Shang, the nephew of Xiaowu, who was estranged by blood and the kingdom was small, so he was not welcomed.Even if he didn't leave, according to the timidity of the king of Surabaya, he didn't dare to openly disobey the laws of the imperial court and contact the rest of the princes.Continue along Surabaya, you will arrive at Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State, although Chu State has been cut several times, it has long since lost the vastness of the reign of King Yuan of Chu, but Pengcheng is also the capital of Huaisi.Liu Yanshou, the king of Chu, is the sixth grandson of King Yuan of Chu, and has another relationship with Liu Yanshou: He Qi, the younger brother of the queen of Chu, married Liu Xu's eldest daughter.Liu Yanshou didn't have any taboos, he personally came to the outskirts of the city to welcome King Guangling, and asked him to enter Beijing together."
King Guangling" Liu Xu had a blank face: "It's called Uncle Gu's grandfather."
After being cut in line three times by Liu Fuling, Liu He, and Liu Ai, Liu Xu is now extremely sensitive to seniority, and he must not be messed up, especially now that he has a big generation.Halfway through Pengcheng's banquet, taking the opportunity to change clothes together, Liu Yanshou suddenly held the hand of King Guangling and said: "The king of Changyi was established first and then abolished, Huo Guang did the Yiyin matter, what does my uncle and grandfather think about this matter?"
”Although Huo Guang did this matter simply and beautifully and suppressed the opposition of the courtiers, after leaving Chang'an, it still caused an uproar in various places, especially the princes and kings of the Liu family, who directly scolded them with a strong temperament.Who gave Huo Guang the courage to dare to do anything to abolish the establishment?
There are even rumors that when Liu He was deposed, the dark tide of the jade seal was surging in the eastern part of the country, and the Confucian scholars were arguing whether it was in line with the law to depose the monarch with ministers, and those ambitious princes began to plot secretly.Thanks to the tireless weakening of the princes by the two generations of Jing and Wu, the princes basically no longer hold the real power of the military and politics, and only enjoy the sacrifices, and now even if they want to rebel, they don't have that strength."
It's just a traitor who wields power."
Liu Xu saw that Liu Yanshou meant something, and said: "Prince Wei disobeyed Emperor Xiaowu, and the rebellion was executed, and his grandson was just a concubine, raised in the market, how can he be the Son of Heaven?"
This Huo Guang chaotic government, wanting to set up the ignorant children of the people as the emperor, so as to facilitate the control of usurpation, and the temple of the Han Dynasty is in danger. ”Liu Yanshou was waiting for this sentence, and actually bowed down and said: "Zhulu is chaotic in the Liu family's world, and the king of Qi raises troops to attack it, and his uncle and grandfather are the only living heirs of Emperor Xiaowu, and the country relies on Changjun to be the emperor."
May the ears and eyes be long, and there will be no future in the world!
If your uncle and grandfather raise troops, Chu will definitely help him!
”Liu Xu was surprised that Liu Yanshou was more courageous than himself, but the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was quelled by Chang'an for a few months, and the two of them together were not half of Liu Fei's strength.What's more, the Qi Wang family, who took the lead in Zhulu Shi, didn't catch anything in the end, and they were all filial to the emperor.He Liu Xu was not a pioneer of others, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can take advantage of the princes to gather in Chang'an this time to meet you, contact more princes who are dissatisfied with Huo Guang's autocratic power, and let the princes take a look by the way" Liu Xu was full of disdain: "That little child from the people has grown up in the people, and he knows the royal etiquette?"
At the Zhengdan court, there were not only hundreds of officials and ministers, but also barbarians, ministers, Hu, Qiang, princes, and Weiyang Palace gathered more than 10,000 people to watch the ceremony. ”"I have cursed the Great Witch, and he will be in a hurry, embarrassed, and disappointing the world!"
In mid-December, in Chang'an Changle Palace, Xu Pingjun should now call her Xu Jieyu.Although he wore Jieyu's palace clothes, Xu Pingjun still did not have a trace of noble arrogance.Even if he was carried on the chariot, he was still cautious as if he was walking in Shangguanli, for fear of provoking people who shouldn't be provoked.After all, since mid-August, when the imperial court suddenly sent someone to the Xi'an Marquis Mansion, where she temporarily lived, to recruit Xu Pingjun into the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, the once peaceful life was completely shattered.She is very familiar with Weiyang Palace, after all, she grew up in the court, the etiquette and behavior are not too unfamiliar, and the queen mother does not see her much, and only serves three meals a day.A lot of things happened after that, and there were rumors that her husband was about to be made the new emperor, and Xu Pingjun was more worried than happy.Everyone remembers that Emperor Xiaozhao, who was rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, suddenly died, and the new emperor Liu He was deposed by the general before he could sit on the throne.What will be the situation of the new emperor?
She was terrified, but she didn't know how to help, until Liu Ying had been requisitioned from Shuofang, and brought back something that made her even more terrifying."
Xu Jia is dead."
Xu Pingjun still remembers that her husband's voice was low and full of guilt: "The granary caught fire, he was trapped inside, and when he was rescued, he was out of breath." ”Xu Jia is Xu Pingjun's cousin, and he had a care for Liu Ai when he went north, but he didn't expect to be gone.Although Liu was sure that it was an accident, Xu Pingjun was keenly aware that her husband seemed to be a different person, silent and cautious, and he still had a burn scar on his arm.The bold ranger in the past has completely disappeared, and I don't know what he experienced in Shuofang.Then there is the torment of living like a year, they have always been keeping filial piety for Emperor Xiaozhao, and they survived until the first day of October when they ascended the throne, and Liu Yao, who has become a new son of heaven, has immediately named her Jieyu, although it is very much like a dream, but this young couple really entered the Weiyang Palace.However, Xu Pingjun's situation has not improved, although she is the only Jieyu of the new emperor, but the servants in the Weiyang Palace secretly laughed at her humble background and was the daughter of a eunuch, and joked that she was dressed more plainly than the palace maid.Those Huo family Fumu, who were qualified to walk in Changle and Weiyang, and followed the Shangguan family, were even more disdainful of her.But no matter how scared he was, Xu Pingjun still had to bite the bullet and come to Changle Palace to meet Shangguan once every five days.Changle is in the east of Weiyang, so it is also called the East Palace, or the East Imperial Court, which is the residence of the Queen Mother, and the emperor is called the "Two Palaces".In the Han Dynasty, the power of the Queen Mother is very great, and in extraordinary times, the Queen Mother can even leave Changle and enter the Weiyang Dynasty to weigh the system, and directly give orders to the ministers and officials.Shangguan Tang was fortunate to become the second queen mother of the dynasty after Lu Hou, and after Liu He ascended the throne in June, the Empress Dowager Shangguan moved to Changle Palace.However, Liu He was deposed, and on August 12, she returned to Weiyang Palace according to Huo Guang's plan, presided over the impeachment and deposition of Liu He by the ministers, and all edicts were issued in her name during the vacancy of the throne.After Liu Ai has ascended the throne, in terms of etiquette, he is the step-grandson of Xiaozhao, so he respects Shangguan as the "Queen Mother".After another two months, Shangguan Tang moved back to Changle Palace.She couldn't even cry or laugh herself, and in just a few months, she completed the triple jump of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.And every time Xu Pingjun, a woman who is a year older than her, comes to see her, the title will make Shangguan Tang slightly embarrassed, more embarrassing than Liu He calling him the queen mother."
Imperial grandmother."
Xu Pingjun bowed his head and called grandmother to Shangguan Tang's tender little face, she was also embarrassed.Xu's background is low, but he still understands the etiquette in the palace, and his mother has been in the court for more than ten years, telling her that the most important thing to be a Jieyu is to be a woman and serve the East Palace well.So Xu Pingjun strictly followed the rules of the five-day dynasty and personally served the food, which was really like serving his grandmother.It's a pity that the gap between the two backgrounds is too big, there is no common topic, and the scene often falls into embarrassment, and when he is most silent, Xu Pingjun can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.Fortunately, Yaoguang, the wife of Xi'an Hou, was also present today.Xu Pingjun was very grateful to Mrs.
Hou of Xi'an, Yaoguang let her live in the Hou Mansion during her husband's expedition, took her to hunt and play, and let Xu Pingjun spend a leisure and comfortable autumn.When she was summoned in the palace, Yaoguang initially thought that the comer was not good, so he personally carried a bow and knife, and led the maids to block the door for a long time, until Shangguan personally wrote a letter to explain the reason, and then personally sent Pingjun into the palace.And Yaoguang has occasionally come to Changle Palace to meet the Empress Dowager recently, which has helped Xu Pingjun resolve many fears.Yaoguang has a cheerful personality and is also familiar with Shangguan Tang, with her adjustment, Xu Pingjun and Shangguan Tang are not so embarrassed when they get along.But Xu Pingjun was immediately stunned to find that Yaoguang was smiling today, his eyes were red, and he was wearing a mourning suit, obviously just learned some bad news.This made Xu Pingjun's heart like a stormy wave, I heard a good person say, the five generals conquered the Huns, and the three armies had been divided, but the two armies in the west went too far, and there was no news, only heard that they had met the main force of the Huns.This made the court very anxious, and it became more and more afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of the second division and be defeated and destroyed."
There is a funeral at Mrs.
Hou's house in Xi'an."
Shangguan Tang was also very unbearable, because the new emperor insisted on serving Xiaozhao's three-year funeral and ignoring government affairs, so the big and small affairs of the court and the central government were still the first Bai general Huo Guang, and then sent to Changle Palace to let her, the empress dowager, look at it and go through the motions.Therefore, the news of Donggong is more well-informed than Weiyang.Funeral!"
Could it be that" Xu Pingjun hurriedly covered her mouth, tears were already rolling in her eyes, she was sad for Yaoguang, she was so young that she had to be widowed.He is also sad for Liu's illness, he is calm on the surface these days, but his heart is still uneasy, often looking west outside the greenhouse hall, and the person he is most looking forward to is Xi'an Hou!
even whispered to her when no one was around: "I look forward to the return of Xi'an, like a long drought looking forward to Ganlin!"
”PS: Wake up and wait for the alarm bell to ring for a long time, deep mourning.
