Chapter 187 Establishing a Crown Prince (Part 1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After taking her son from the hands of Empress Dowager Mu, she remembered that he had another child. Empress Dowager Mu, who had been taking care of Ma E in the Hehuan Hall, slowly stood up and gave Liu Chan a few words before leaving the Hehuan Hall and returning to her home.

Changle Palace.

Changle Palace is not the Changle Palace where Emperor Gaozu lived. It is also one of the palaces in the harem of Weiyang Palace.

When Liu Chan ascended the throne in Chengdu, the palace where Empress Dowager Mu lived was named Changle Palace. Now that the capital has been moved to Chang'an, Liu Chan still chose a palace in Weiyang Palace for Empress Dowager Mu and changed its name to Changle Palace for Empress Dowager Mu to live in.

.

Empress Dowager Mu left the Hehuan Palace. Ma E was still sleeping. Liu Chan held the son Ma E had given birth to and babbling to him. Of course, he didn't care whether his son could understand what he said.<

/p>

But while Liu Chan was talking to his son, a palace maid hurriedly came in from outside, with a look of panic on her face.

"Your Majesty!"

"Why are you so alarmed?"

Seeing the panic on the palace maid's face, Liu Chan asked angrily; the palace maid came quickly and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you are dead, you are dead!"

"Asshole!"

Liu Chan was furious when he heard this and immediately scolded the palace maid.

Of course, the palace maid also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I know my sin, I know my sin."

"Say, who died?" Liu Chan scolded and asked.

He naturally knew that the palace maid must not be talking about the death of the emperor, but if she had the courage, he would not dare to say that the emperor was dead in front of the emperor.

But Liu Chan is actually a little worried now.

The palace maid looked so panicked and said she was dead, something bad must have happened.

"Return to Your Majesty!" the palace maid said tremblingly: "It was Imperial Physician Li who committed suicide by hanging from the beam."

"What?"

Liu Chan was immediately horrified when he heard this. He naturally knew who this Imperial Doctor Li was. He was a great benefactor to him and Ma E.

It was precisely because he knew how to perform caesarean section that Ma'e's difficult delivery was saved.

Why did he commit suicide?

Liu Chan was really confused. Logically speaking, Dr. Li had just made a great contribution and saved the emperor's beloved concubine from danger. The emperor would definitely reward him greatly.

But why did he commit suicide?

Liu Chan was also stunned for a moment.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came in from outside.

"Your Majesty!"

"Li Yuyi..." Before the eunuch could finish speaking, Liu Chan said, "I already know."

Then Liu Chan handed the prince to the maid, got up and followed the eunuch to the side hall of Hehuan Palace, where Imperial Doctor Li temporarily lived.

As soon as I entered the side hall, everything in the house was normal and not messy.

Dr. Li was hanging on the roof beam at this time.

"Hurry and put down Imperial Doctor Li." Liu Chan ordered.

With the help of several young eunuchs, Dr. Li, who committed suicide by hanging from a beam, was carried out by the eunuchs. When Liu Chan was about to leave, he saw a letter with still wet ink on the table next to him.

Liu Chan hurried over, picked up the letter and read it carefully.

"Li Aiqing, Li Aiqing!" After reading the letter, Liu Chan sighed: "I haven't had time to reward you in the future, how could you be so pedantic and commit suicide?"

The content of the letter is quite long, and it mainly talks about three things.

First, Imperial Physician Li said that he was just a humble imperial physician, but because he was delivering babies, he witnessed the body of the imperial concubine. This was also the reason why he chose to commit suicide.

Secondly, Ma'e's next recovery plan is listed in detail.

Thirdly, he hoped that the emperor could promote anesthetic wine, because he felt that the birth of anesthetic wine would be of great help to doctors in the future. Furthermore, he also listed in detail the various steps of caesarean section surgery, as well as his

Some medical experience.

Finally, he also specifically stated that he has passed on the caesarean section surgery to the two midwives who assisted him in the operation. He hopes that the two midwives can teach his surgery to more midwives. If a woman encounters a difficult delivery in the future, the midwife will know how to do it.

This kind of surgery can reduce the probability of a woman dying during childbirth.

Looking at this letter, which could be regarded as a memorial, Liu Chan sighed helplessly and shook his head.

At the same time, he was also very regretful.

Because he is not an ancient person. As for Dr. Li's surgery, he looked at the body of the imperial concubine Ma'e. Liu Chan did not think this was a sin. Instead, he felt that Dr. Li had merit. After all, Dr. Li was trying to save the lives of Ma'e and her son.

.

But——

It's too late to say anything now.

Naturally, Liu Chan did not fully understand the thoughts of the ancients.

Perhaps in the eyes of him, a person from the future world, this is a sign of pedantry, but he also understands what it means to say that the dead are the most important.

Liu Chan doesn't care what others think.

"Seal!"

A few days later, in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Chan said loudly: "I have named Imperial Physician Li Tan a candidate for benevolent medical treatment. I will not replace him hereditary. I will bury Imperial Physician Li with the ceremony of a marquis and reward his family with hundreds of pieces of Sichuan brocade, hundreds of pieces of brocade, and hundreds of pieces of gold."

Two, fifty hectares of fertile land."

"Your Majesty!"

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was about to speak, but Liu Chan signaled not to speak for the time being. He continued: "Li Yuyi is a kind-hearted doctor, and his medical skills are comparable to those of Bian Que when he was alive. Hua Tuo was reborn. Now Li Yuyi has passed away, but his ambition is still indispensable.

Pass."

"Pass the message!" Liu Chan said loudly: "Erect a monument and biography for Imperial Doctor Li, and compile his legacy of medical skills into a book for reference and study by doctors all over the world."

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he felt a little relieved. For him, he naturally admired doctors like Li Tan very much.

After the reward was awarded, the officials had no objections.

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief. He was the emperor. For him, no one could object to this matter. Even if it was the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, whom he always respected, if he objected, Liu Chan would go his own way.

Just——

Zhuge Liang did not object, but praised the emperor's wisdom.

After handling the reward from Imperial Physician Li, Liu Chan returned to Hehuan Hall again.

Ma E had woken up a few days ago, she just woke up a few hours later than Liu Chan.

Just because of the wound from the operation, she can only lie on the bed to rest. The Royal Hospital sent a new doctor to take care of Ma E.

Seeing Liu Chan coming in, Ma E murmured: "Your Majesty!"

"E'er, don't move, lie down quickly;" Liu Chan hurried over and asked her to lie down, and then said with a smile: "I have already arranged the future of Dr. Li, so there is no need to worry about E'er."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two briefly exchanged greetings, Ma E glanced at her son next to her and asked Liu Chan with a smile: "Your Majesty, how many days have the emperor been born? Please give the emperor a name."

Ma E didn't say anything, but Liu Chan forgot about it.

This little guy has been born for several days. He has been busy dealing with the future of Dr. Li, but he forgot to name the little guy.

Just——

What name should I choose?

Liu Chan thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Ma E: "The emperor was born, thanks to Dr. Li's superb medical skills, I will name the emperor Tan, okay?"

"Liu Tan!" Ma E nodded after hearing this and said happily: "Well, Liu Tan is good, Liu Tan is good, our prince's name is Liu Tan."

"As long as Yuer likes it."

Liu Tan is Liu Chan's second child and his eldest son.

Liu Chan was actually not particularly excited about having his son, at least not as excited as when his daughter Liu Rongyue was born.

Of course, just because he doesn't remember doesn't mean he doesn't like his son.

It's just that he is a little worried. After all, he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and has watched many costume movies and TV dramas in his previous life. The more princes there are, the more fierce their fight for the throne will be when they grow up.

Siblings fight against each other, and brothers fight against each other.

This is the last thing he wants to see.

It's just that people are in the world and can't help themselves.

On the sixteenth day after Liu Tan was born, Queen Zhang Yuan gave birth to her and Liu Chan's second child. Liu Chan hoped that she could give him another little princess.

It’s just a pity——

Zhang Yuan’s son was also a prince, and Liu Chan named him Liu Chen, because in history Liu Chan’s fifth son, the King of the North, was named Liu Chen.

Anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should know that Liu Chan is a relatively courageous prince of Shu. When Deng Ai came to Chengdu, Emperor Liu Chan chose to surrender, but Liu Chen, the king of the North, refused to surrender and even urged him to surrender.

Father Liu Chan fought to the death with the Wei army.

It's just that Liu Chan in history did not listen to his son's dissuasion and still chose to surrender in Kaicheng. After Liu Chen, the king of the North, tried to persuade his father to no avail, he had no choice but to kill his wife first and then commit suicide in front of his former lord Liu Beiling.

When Liu Chan watched the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he was very moved when he saw the scene where Liu Chen committed suicide. So when Zhang Yuan gave birth to his second prince, he chose to commemorate the historical King of the North and give him

Named Liu Chen.

With the birth of two princes, Liu Chan also faced a thorny problem, that is, the issue of establishing a heir apparent.

Liu Chan was a bit confused whether it was Liu Tan, the eldest son of the emperor, who was born to Ma E, or Liu Chen, the second son of the emperor, who was born to empress Zhang Yuan.

At this time, there were also different voices in the Han court.

Some people support the establishment of a chief, while others support the establishment of a direct descendant.

This——

Who should be made the crown prince?

......

The ninth day of the eleventh month of the tenth year of the Jianxing period of the Han Dynasty (AD 232).

The front hall of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Chan sat quietly on the throne, listening to the debate among the officials in the hall.

"Your Majesty, according to the ancestral regulations, the position of the prince should be established by direct descendants rather than elders." Shi Jiang Wan, the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, reported: "I would like to ask your majesty to appoint Chen, the second son of the emperor, as the crown prince of the Han Dynasty.

Pass on the country’s roots.”

As soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, Zhang Yi, the Minister of Rites, objected and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the principle of establishing a prince should be based on the principle of establishing the elder rather than the younger. I would like to ask your Majesty to make the emperor's eldest son Tan the crown prince of the Han Dynasty."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the hall immediately became polarized. Some people supported the establishment of Liu Tan, the eldest son of the emperor, as the crown prince, while others supported the establishment of Liu Chen, the second son of the emperor, as the crown prince.

Liu Chan naturally listened attentively. He had no preference for who should be appointed as the crown prince, because in his eyes, whether it was Liu Tan or Liu Chen, they were both his sons.

As the saying goes, all people are treated equally, and a bowl of water will be treated equally.

What is the distinction between direct descendants and concubines? This is the thought of the ancients.

However, Liu Chan did not speak now. He looked around from time to time.

In the main hall, the courtiers arguing included people from the Prime Minister's Palace, people from the Yushi Dafu Palace, and officials such as Zhang Wei who belonged to neither the Prime Minister's Palace nor the Yushi Dafu Palace.

Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu?

What do they mean?

Liu Chan has been observing the two of them, but they have been staying there quietly. Like Liu Chan, no one spoke.
