The succession to the throne in front of the coffin did not go wrong at all, and even went too smoothly. However, Liu Chengyou did not have any strange feeling like being in a dream, with his legs going weak. On the contrary, he was very calm and took it as a matter of course.
Liu Zhiyuan may not be considered an excellent emperor, but he is definitely a loving father. Compared with the "orphan" treatment in the original history, in this life, Liu Zhiyuan helped Liu Chengyou pave the road smooth enough, and he was well prepared. , he has enough self-confidence and confidence to hold the world in his hands. Otherwise, not to mention other things, he will be sorry for the praise given to him by Liu Zhiyuan's legacy.
There was no pretense. Under the worship of the civil and military ministers, Liu Chengyou, who had "recovered", accepted the rituals calmly. That was a matter for later. The mourning hall was inconvenient and troublesome. In the east veranda of the Long Live Hall, Liu Chengyou once again accepted the worship of the ministers. He emphasized the relationship between monarch and minister and said some formulaic words of mutual encouragement.
Afterwards, the imperial city was unsealed and all the ministers returned to their duties. It had been almost two months since the courtiers got used to the situation without the emperor in charge of government affairs. However, this time, some chaos still inevitably occurred.
After all, once the emperor has his ministers, the succession of the new emperor will always have the greatest impact on these old ministers, so it is difficult not to be uneasy. In terms of government affairs, although Liu Chengyou used the prince to supervise the country and did a good job, the prince After all, he is just a prince, and there is still a huge gap between him. From now on, it is still unknown what direction the Han Dynasty will take and what the outcome will be.
No matter what the thoughts and ideas of the superiors and subordinates were, the imperial power was successfully passed on, and the news that Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne was soon spread throughout the world in the form of an imperial edict. At the same time, mourning was expressed both internally and externally.
After moving to Chui Gong Hall, Liu Chengyou first summoned the generals of the Tokyo Forbidden Army to the imperial court. No matter what time, the army is always the most important.
In the palace, Shi Hongzhao, Liu Xin, the uncles of the Li family, Shang Hongqian, Zhou Hui and other senior generals from the bodyguard department were all present. Liu Chengyou was among them. On the surface, he did appear to be a bit "weak". However, upon closer inspection, Next, it is obvious that even these veteran heroes do not look down upon the young emperor who has only ascended the throne for less than half an hour. Of course, it is nonsense to say how much awe they have.
The biggest difference between Liu Chengyou and the original owner is that he already has a foundation and influence in the military, and it is not small.
After scanning around, Liu Chengyou was already very familiar with these veterans in the palace. He couldn't help but be unfamiliar with them. He had already had some ideas in his mind about how to replace them, who to replace them first, and who to replace them with.
Looking at these people again after changing his identity, Liu Chengyou felt something else in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked the generals to sit down. Liu Chengyou said very kindly: "Everyone here is a hero who followed the late emperor. You have to overcome obstacles and overcome obstacles. The founders of Han Dynasty just now are all my uncles."
"I don't dare!" Liu Chengyou lowered his stance so low that no matter how low their emotional intelligence, all the warriors knew how to deal with it.
However, Liu Chengyou's "horse" is also very comfortable to shoot. Everyone knows that Liu Chengyou is strict and serious. Now that he has become the emperor, he has obviously improved. His attitude towards everyone is enough to make him Peace of mind.
Among the generals, there were a lot of relatives of the emperor. After Liu Chengyou opened his mouth, the atmosphere quickly calmed down. If it hadn't been for the national mourning period, he would probably still be able to see his smile.
"The Han Dynasty was first established. After many twists and turns, Rong and Di harassed the border, and ferocious dogs were watching. The late Emperor Yan Jia, it can be said that the earth is shattering and the sky is falling. I am young and weak, and others take it lightly. I am only afraid of small troubles and rebels plotting rebellion. The Shu army in Guanzhong has not yet However, at this time of national tragedy, at this time, there can be no more chaos in the country. Next, the country of Han Dynasty still needs the support of all uncles. Chengyou is here, thank you in advance!" After speaking, Liu Chengyou returned Stand up and bow solemnly.
Seeing this, the others did not dare to neglect and stood up to return the greeting.
Liu Xin also said to Liu Chengyou carelessly: "Erlang, you don't have to be so polite. The late emperor has already given me instructions to protect the young master and protect the country. Don't worry, with my uncle here, you will be able to be the emperor safely!"
Hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and Liu Chengyou smiled at Liu Xin: "I feel relieved that my uncle and you are here!"
This was probably the first time that the generals present saw Liu Chengyou smile.
"The system left by the late emperor, military and political matters are the same as the old system. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the court and Tokyo, and the first thing is to ensure the stability of the forbidden army. The hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Tokyo are all under the control of your uncles Commander, during this time, please work harder to lead the generals, calm the soldiers, calm the morale of the army, and prevent chaos!" Liu Chengyou said still politely.
"yes!"
He put on a kind face and comforted these senior generals with kind words. After they retreated, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at these people. He has many relatives and good attitudes, so you can rest assured.
Liu Chengyou could clearly feel that Liu Xin, for example, was already a little distracted. He had just spoken. Although he had always expressed humility, he was the emperor after all. And Liu Xin dared to call him "Erlang" to emphasize that he was his. Uncle? Maybe Liu Xin didn't have this kind of power and ideas, but his performance was already out of line. It was only half an hour after Liu Chengyou took the throne.
However, even so, Liu Chengyou has no plans to make any big moves. At the time of the transition between the old and the new, stability is paramount, and he would rather keep nothing unchanged than act rashly and cause unnecessary disasters. Liu Chengyou has a "deep" foundation. , but it was just to allow him to successfully succeed to the throne.
Except for the "three envoys" previously appointed to ensure the safety and tranquility of the imperial city, Liu Chengyou had no intention of changing the military affairs and did not want to make any small moves. Even Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao did not allow him to move his position. mean.
In short, the future is long.
Accompanied by Li Chongju, Liu Chengyou personally inspected all the gates of the imperial city and emphasized to the imperial guards the new emperor they were protecting. Before taking a rest, he went to the Long Live Palace again...
He didn't do much, but he worried too much. Until noon, Liu Chengyou went to Chui Gong Hall to rest for a while. If he continued to get angry, he was afraid that something would happen to his body.
When he woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was Da Fu's beautiful face, lying on his side beside the couch, staring at Liu Chengyou.
"Guanjia, you're awake." Seeing Liu Chengyou open his eyes, Da Fu became more energetic, reached out to help him up, and changed his name naturally.
"You're here." Liu Chengyou responded, looked at the robe covering his body and the shoes he took off at an unknown time, and asked: "What time is it?"
"It's already the third quarter of Xu Chu!" Dafu said.
Rubbing his eyes and looking outside, sure enough, it was already dark. Liu Chengyou immediately summoned a waiter and scolded him directly: "Didn't I tell you to wake me up at midnight?"
Seeing Liu Chengyou's anger, he was immediately frightened. Dafu took the initiative to step forward, caressed Liu Chengyou's chest, and whispered: "I ordered you to let the official sleep a little longer. You haven't slept for a long time, so you can't be exhausted." Body!"
Da Fu's hand seemed to have magic power. Feeling the soft movements on his chest, Liu Chengyou's anger calmed down. He knew that Fu was doing it for his own good, but the servant was directly on Liu Chengyou's blacklist.
Da Fu prepared some porridge for Liu Chengyou, paying great attention to details and making sure it was not watery.
When Fang was hungry, Prime Minister Li Tao asked to see Liu Chengyou. When he saw Liu Chengyou, he made the matter very serious: "If you don't stop the officials, there will be chaos in Tokyo!"
Liu Chengyou was confused by what he said, and his heart was sensitive, so he immediately asked: "What happened?"
"There was an official report that the late emperor Yan Jia had sent down the imperial court to express condolences, but few people in the city responded. Liu Dushuai sent troops to the squares and went from house to house, forcing the people to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety, and to mourn for the emperor Daxing. There was a little discomfort. From then on, it was beating, scolding and torture..."
Without Li Tao describing it in detail, Liu Chengyou could imagine what the scene was like. He cursed secretly in his heart and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It's been half an hour!" Li Tao replied.
"The late emperor has a clear policy. Funerals and funerals must not disturb the people!" Liu Chengyou stood up and directly ordered: "Pass on my edict and order him to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. The Tokyo Forbidden Army is not allowed to have any soldiers or soldiers enter people's houses privately. Anyone who violates it Punished under military law!"
"Yes!" After receiving Liu Chengyou's order, Li Tao immediately resigned and hurriedly sent the order.
After he retreated, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath, smashed the imperial case hard, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Send troops to force the people to cry, it's a shame he can think of it!"
"The officials calm down!" Seeing Liu Chengyou's expression was not right, Dafu immediately came up to him and advised him in a gentle voice: "Uncle or beloved brother, it's not too late to stop the trouble in time to avoid spreading the chaos... .”
"It's hard to be an emperor!" After hearing the advice, Liu Chengyou complained softly.
Da Fu said: "Believe in the officials, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."
"I wish!"
After regaining his energy a little, Liu Chengyou went to Mrs. Li's place and prepared to pay her respects.
His mind was a little depressed. Although Liu Xin was now the deputy commander of the Guards and Horse Infantry Army, due to Ruoyouruowu's suppression, he had actually turned his back and suppressed Shi Hongzhao. However, it now seems that Liu Xin was really The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army was not much better than Shi Hongzhao. He even became more unscrupulous by virtue of his status as "uncle of the emperor".
This doesn't give him any time to react at all, which is quite nerve-wracking.
Liu Zhiyuan died on the night of the 27th. On the 29th, the ministers came to the table and asked Liu Chengyou to listen to the government. Then there was a necessary show of procedures, but the imperial edict was refused. After four times, he obeyed.
When Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, the ceremony was extremely simple. It was just a "grass stage troupe" setting up a stage to perform operas.
Now that he has taken over the Central Plains, although the interval is only one year, Liu Chengyou cannot be too vague when he succeeds to the throne. Even if he is quick and simple, there still needs to be a ceremony.
On the first day of the second lunar month, Liu Chengyou ascended the throne in Chongyuan Hall.
