Retiring from the Zen position, Liu Chan has been planning this matter since he became a Zen monk, because he has done everything he should do when he traveled through this life.
There are no regrets.
He is different from other emperors in that he likes the status of emperor.
After decades of walking, he is well aware of the hardships of being an emperor, as well as the endless loneliness, and finally understands why ancient emperors would call themselves widowers.
A lonely person.
If you give up power, you may be able to live an easier life.
One month later——
February 8, 265 AD.
Chang'an City.
Weiyang Palace.
Front Hall Square.
After a month of intense preparations, a Zen tower has been built.
At the first moment of the hour, Liu Chan joined hands with Zhang Yang, and amidst the cries of hundreds of officials, he climbed onto the platform to accept Zen. Unlike before, when he was granted Zen status as Mount Tai, Liu Chan still felt his steps were heavy because he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.<
/p>
But today, he felt a sense of relief.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yang whispered: "Your Majesty abdicated the throne to Chen'er before he was sixty years old. Is your Majesty really willing to give up the supreme imperial power?"
Hearing this, Liu Chan smiled faintly and responded in a low voice: "Yang'er, could it be that you don't want to be the Queen Mother and want to continue to be the Queen?"
"No!" Zhang Yang retorted: "It's just that among the emperors throughout the ages, there has never been one who abdicated the throne to his successor in advance, and your Majesty is the first one."
"Haha!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "It's unprecedented, but that doesn't mean I can't do it right? Although imperial power is good, it also makes people physically and mentally exhausted."
"Yang'er!"
Liu Chan held Zhang Yang's hand tightly, and while walking to the Zen platform, he whispered: "With my abdication, I will have more time to stay with you. We can do many things without worrying about delays.
State affairs."
"Isn't this good?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Everything your Majesty said is right!"
Anyway, from Zhang Yuan's point of view, although Liu Chan is abdicating today, the new emperor is not an outsider. He is the son of his sister Zhang Yuan. Sooner or later, he will ascend the throne and become emperor.
Moreover, Liu Chen has always been very filial and regards her as his biological mother.
Moreover, Liu Chan has also told her a lot these days, that is, letting Chen'er be the prince all the time will tie his hands and feet.
If you give him the Zen position directly, he can go about his business with ease.
For Liu Chan, it is even simpler.
I'm almost sixty, and it's time to retire and rest.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the top of the meditation platform, where a dragon chair was placed. Liu Chan took Zhang Yuan's hand and sat on the dragon chair calmly.
"Let's get started!"
After sitting down, Liu Chan raised his hand slightly to signal the ceremony officer to start.
The ceremony officer was stunned for a moment, then he agreed, turned around and stood at the front desk, and said loudly: "The Zen acceptance ceremony begins now!"
Woo, woo, woo!
Boom, boom, boom!
After a few drumming sounds, the ceremony officer loudly shouted again: "I respectfully invite you to succeed me!"
As soon as the official finished speaking, at the end of the red carpet in the audience, Prince Liu Chen and Crown Princess Zhuge Yan, surrounded by a guard of honor, walked slowly towards the Zen platform.
Looking at his son and daughter-in-law in the distance, Liu Chan said lightly: "I feel a little regretful today... ugh!"
"Your Majesty!" Queen Zhang Yang asked, "What's the regret?"
"My father-in-law is not here!" Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said, "If my father-in-law were here today, he would definitely be happy to see his daughter become the queen of my great man."
"Oh!" Zhang Yuan exclaimed when he heard this. Originally, Liu Chan had invited Zhuge Liang back to participate in this Zen ceremony, but thinking that Zhuge Liang was nearly ninety years old and so tired of traveling and traveling, Liu Chan couldn't bear it, so he gave up.
This idea is to wait for the end of the meditation and then send someone to tell the old prime minister.
Although he has regrets, Liu Chan is very happy at this moment.
Why?
Because the Han Dynasty had successors, his son Liu Chen had been running the country for many years. In fact, during Liu Chan's Western Expedition, Liu Chen, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, began to govern the country.
Later, when Wu was conquered and Wei was conquered, Liu Chen actually belonged to the position of temporary emperor.
Passing the position to him now is just a formality.
As an emperor, Liu Chan felt that he could be proud of being able to smoothly transfer power to his son when he was old.
On both sides of Liu Chan stood the eldest son Liu Tan, the third son Liu Yan, the fourth son Liu Rui, and the fifth son Liu Huan.
In comparison, Liu Tan, Liu Yan, and Liu Rui are all kings of the same country now. Only Liu Huan, the fifth son of the emperor, is only a prince at the moment. However, Liu Chen has always taken good care of him. I believe that when Liu Chen takes the throne
After that, he will definitely treat his imperial brother kindly.
And another point is that Liu Huan has no ambitions. He is a special one among Liu Chan's sons. Liu Chan once asked him before if he wanted to imitate his three brothers and serve as the king of a kingdom.
p>
But he rejected him. He preferred Xianyun Yehe and a leisurely life.
Now that the world is unified, he can naturally be a happy and happy prince.
Liu Chan glanced at Liu Huan. At this moment, his expression was calm, and there was a hint of joy. He quietly looked at the imperial brother who was walking up.
He seems very proud.
Seeing this, Liu Chan was naturally satisfied.
By the time Liu Chan came to his senses, Liu Chen had already boarded the platform to receive Zen. He and Crown Princess Zhuge Yan were standing side by side in front of Liu Chan and Zhang Yang.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen!"
"My daughter-in-law pays homage to my father, the emperor, and my mother!"
Both of them were paying homage. Liu Chan looked at his son and daughter-in-law kneeling on the ground, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Let's all get flat!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After the two of them stood still, the ceremony official read out the imperial edict of accepting Zen in public, which roughly stated that the crown prince was smart, capable, benevolent, filial, etc... When the imperial edict of accepting Zen was finished, Liu Chan took the crown that had been prepared from the hands of the official.
Come here.
"Chen'er!" Liu Chan stood up, looked at his son, and said seriously: "Today I pass the throne to you, and I also hand over all the thousands of people of this great Han Dynasty to you."
"You must always remember to work diligently and love the people!"
"I obey the decree!" Liu Chan knelt down on one knee and said affirmatively.
Liu Chan had always felt reassured about Liu Chen. After looking at his daughter-in-law Zhuge Yan, he gently put the crown on his son's head.
Just when Liu Chan put the crown on his son, the square in the front hall of Weiyang Palace immediately erupted with shouts of mountains and tsunamis.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Listening to the officials shouting "The Supreme Emperor", Liu Chan suddenly laughed: "From today on, I am the Supreme Emperor, hahaha!"
Then, Liu Chan took the Queen Mother Zhang Yang and moved to a chair behind the dragon chair to sit down. In fact, this was also a dragon chair, but it was not the dragon chair where the emperor sat.
After Liu Chan and Zhang Yang sat down, Liu Chen and Zhuge Yan bowed to Liu Chan and Zhang Yang, then walked slowly to the dragon chair and sat down nervously.
Then, Liu Chen announced that he would confer Zhuge Yan as the queen and his eldest son Liu Yi as the crown prince. Then he would grant amnesty to the world and change the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Taiping.
In the first year of Taiping, I hope that the Han Dynasty will be peaceful and prosperous from now on, and will be immortal for all generations.
Liu Chen ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the Han Dynasty. After the Zen throne ended, under the witness of the Supreme Emperor Liu Chan, King Liu Tan of the Kingdom of Qin, King Liu Yan of the Kingdom of Ming, and King Liu Rui of the Kingdom of Tang signed an alliance.
"Covenant of the Great Han Alliance"
This covenant was drawn up and proposed by King Liu Tan of the Kingdom of Qin. He was the eldest son of the emperor. He said that in order for the Han Dynasty to last for thousands of years, the four kingdoms of Han, Tang, Ming and Qin must unite as one and form a powerful alliance.
The alliance stipulates that the three kingdoms of Qin, Tang, and Ming respect the Han Dynasty as the alliance leader. Originally Liu Tan meant to respect the Han Dynasty as the suzerain state, but Liu Tan, the new king of the Han Dynasty, felt that since his father had already named the Tang, Ming, Qin, and Han Dynasties as equals when they were enfeoffed.
If we call it a suzerain state again, it may cause trouble for future generations.
It is better to respect the Han Dynasty as the leader of the alliance, which is equivalent to the boss of the Four Kingdoms Alliance.
Then the covenant stipulates that the four countries will never attack each other. If any party provokes a war, the other three countries can work together to attack it.
This covenant has no time limit.
It is an eternal covenant.
Although Liu Chan knew about such a so-called covenant, if there was a conflict of interest between countries, the contract would be useless at all.
But——
He also understood that these were sons who wanted to make him, the Supreme Emperor, feel at ease.
At least in Liu Chan's view, there is no problem for the four countries to live in harmony and unite as one in the next three generations. After all, the four countries now have unresolved border conflicts. As for the future, they can only seek the blessings of their children and grandchildren.
Half a month later.
Liu Tan, Liu Yan, and Liu Rui left Chang'an and returned to their respective kingdoms.
The Han Dynasty officially entered the era of Liu Chen.
As for the Supreme Emperor Liu Chan.
Haha——
Emperor Liu Chen was also very depressed.
Why?
Because on the third day after Liu Tan, Liu Yan, and Liu Rui left Chang'an, Liu Chen wanted to pay his respects to Liu Chan, but instead of seeing his father Liu Chan, he received a letter left by Liu Chan for him. :
"My father and my queen are out having fun, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. He can manage the affairs of the government with peace of mind. When my father is tired of playing, he will naturally take your mother and queen back to Weiyang Palace - here you go!"
Looking at this letter, Liu Chen looked confused.
When he returned to Jiaofang Hall, Queen Zhuge Yan saw the letter, thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, does Zitong know where his father has gone?"
"Oh!" Liu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Zitong, tell me quickly, where did your father go?"
Liu Chen was really anxious at this time.
Although his father has abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, he is still the Supreme Emperor. If he disguises himself like this and goes among the people, if something goes wrong, it will make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Zhuge Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty, if Zitong's guess is correct, my father should have gone to Mount Putuo!"
"Mount Putuo?" Liu Chen paused after hearing this and said, "Going to find the abbot of the country?"
"Exactly!" Zhuge Yan said: "When I came back from Mount Tai, I heard my father talk about it. My father said that he envied my father for being able to live happily and live in seclusion in the mountains, while he still had to take care of state affairs."
"It's only been two years, and your Majesty has already enthroned me!" Zhuge Yan said, shaking his head slightly and saying, "It seems like my father went to live in seclusion with his father!"
"Alas!" Liu Chen said helplessly after hearing this: "Father is already old. If you want to see the abbot, you can ask me to send someone to escort him. How can he sneak out of the palace quietly? If he meets someone on the way,
What danger..."
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Yan said: "My father has been fighting all over the country. I have never seen any big scenes. In this world, no one can be my father's opponent."
Zhuge Yan refers to the brain.
As Liu Chan's daughter-in-law, she still has a certain understanding of her husband.
Besides, when her father retired to seclusion, didn't he just leave quietly?
...
One year later.
Putuo Mountain, inside Yibie Garden.
"Four twos!"
"Four three!"
The Supreme Emperor Liu Chan slapped four threes on the table. Xu Shu shook his head depressedly and said, "The Supreme Emperor, why do you always win in the landlord fight?"
"Because I am a landlord!"
Liu Chan laughed and said, Zhuge Liang saw that the pair of big and small kings in his hand could not get out, so he sighed and put down his cards.
Six months ago, Liu Chan and the Empress Dowager Zhang Yang came to Mount Putuo. At first, they drank and sang with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. After a while, they moved the Landlord game that many people in later generations liked to play to Mount Putuo.
Recently, the three of them have been playing Landlords every day, and they are having a great time.
Seeing that the two old men were a little depressed, Liu Chan took a sip of fragrant tea, laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Zhi, Xiangfu... Actually, you two won this one!"
"Huh?"
Both of them were stunned before Liu Chan picked up the four threes on the table and said: "Among the Douduo landlords, the big and small kings are the biggest, followed by two, and the smallest is actually three... hahaha!"
"The Supreme Emperor!" Xu Shu suddenly realized, and said: "The Supreme Emperor, you are cheating, you are cheating!"
"You will be punished for cheating!" Zhuge Liang agreed.
Liu Chan was about to speak when suddenly a boy came over in a hurry. As soon as he came to Liu Chan, he said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here. He has arrived in front of the mountain gate!"
"What?" Liu Chan stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and said: "Yuanzhi, Xiangfu, I am willing to admit defeat. We will discuss the cheating matter later. I will hide first. Chen'er will arrive later.
,Don’t say I’m in Mount Putuo.”
Before Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu could respond, Liu Chan had already run towards the back mountain.
Seeing Liu Chan running away, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled.
Adou is still the Adou we are familiar with.
...
Three hundred years later.
In a teahouse in a small town in southwest Africa.
An old man with dark skin and exposed white teeth slapped his gavel on the table, and then said with a smile: "From the time when the Holy Emperor Wu destroyed Sassanid, Kushan, and Rome, in these three places
After the establishment of the Ming, Tang, and Qin kingdoms, the world ushered in earth-shaking changes."
"Later, the Kingdom of Qin sent troops south to liberate our Africa, allowing us in Africa to formally bid farewell to the slave society..."
"Now!" the old man said happily: "Although there are different races and people of different skin colors in the world, they speak the same language and write the same words. There are no more wars in the world, and people have lived a peaceful life since then.
Live and work in peace and contentment!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the tea guests in the teahouse couldn't help but shouted in unison: "We are all Han people, and there is no distinction between you and me!"
"Hahahaha!"
The laughter of everyone resounded throughout the teahouse.
