In the Xuanshi Hall, all the ministers were sitting.
Liu Ying was holding Liu Chang's hand. In front of Liu Chang, there were all kinds of meats and fine wines piled up. Liu Ying kept toasting to him. Speaking of which, Liu Chang had eaten for a long time today and was already a little exhausted, but
, Liu Ying's words of flattery, saying that he was brave enough to be unworthy of all men, and that he was a sage who could rule the world, made Liu Chang feel elated and had an appetite.
"The King of Tang was in the south. He learned that the Dian Kingdom was disrespectful to the Han Dynasty, so he only led a few knights, rushed into the formation, and beheaded the King of Dian!"
"How can I, a big man, find another such a warrior? How about the original Qing Ji Xiang Ji?!"
Liu Ying looked at the ministers, who all bowed their heads, "The king of Tang Dynasty is so brave as never before!"
Liu Ying said seriously: "The King of Tang was brave and had great military exploits. He defeated the Xiongnu three times, gained the land of Shuofang in Henan, expanded the five counties in the west of Henan, opened the road to the Western Region, defeated the remnants of Donghu, pacified the land outside Liaodong, and recovered the south.
In South Vietnam, the formation killed the King of Dian... put down many rebellions and brought peace to the Han Dynasty. Without the King of Tang, how could we have fun here??"
"Can't, can't."
The ministers responded quickly.
Liu Chang couldn't help laughing, "It's good that you all know this truth. If you weren't a humble person, how would you be able to sit here?"
The faces of the ministers turned dark. The king of his family really never treated them as outsiders. He didn't even bother to be polite.
Only Chen Ping's expression was quite calm. This scene was too familiar to him.
When Emperor Gao founded the country, he asked everyone about his contribution. After everyone praised him, he nodded and admitted it very politely.
Therefore, Liu Chang's operation was childish in Chen Ping's opinion.
The other ministers, such as Chai Wu, Zhang Cang, Zhang Buyi and others, all had different expressions at this moment. These three people represented three different forces respectively. Chai Wu supported the Tang Dynasty King's ascension to the throne, but was unwilling to directly participate.
Willing to play the role of pushing the boat forward, Zhang Cang supports the Tang King's ascension to the throne. He is completely unwilling to participate in these things and only wants to be a stupid person. Zhang Buyi supports the Tang King's ascension to the throne and does his best to achieve it, and is willing to become the core executor.
These three parties all supported the Tang Dynasty King's ascension to the throne. As for those who did not support it, they either regretted it in court or at home.
When Liu Ying spoke, Zhang Buyu naturally responded loudly, Chai Wu and others nodded, and Zhang Cang smiled and said nothing.
In fact, in addition to these three parties, there is also a very special existence.
This person did not show a supportive attitude, but everyone felt that he was supportive. He had not executed anything, but everything seemed to have his instructions behind it. Yes, this was the pot lord Chen Ping.
Liu Chang had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. He was mainly wary of Chen Ping and the Queen Mother. He had always treated his simple-minded brother sincerely and had never been wary of him.
Liu Ying first praised Liu Chang's military exploits and attributed the achievements of Zhou Bo, Han Xin, Li Zuoche and others to him. Of course, this is correct. After all, the driving force of these battles was Liu Chang. Liu Chang
It can be considered that it has played a lot of roles.
Immediately, Liu Ying talked about other aspects, "The king of the Tang Dynasty promoted the literary style, cultivated mulberry trees, taxed taxes...set up medical clinics, established county schools, opened bookstores, promoted culture and education, and did his best to love the people..."
Liu Ying started to praise her in various ways, and Liu Chang naturally drank one cup after another, drinking happily.
Liu Ying began to look at Zhang Buyi constantly, trying to determine whether it was the right time.
Zhang Bujie shook his head gently. Now the king is not drunk and is still sober. He will wait until the king is confused and starts to become less sober before he can start this vigorous rebellion. Speaking of which, Liu Ying wanted to do this for this rebellion.
, has been preparing for nearly half a year, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared.
This is the first time Liu Ying has taken care of something so seriously. At this age, Liu Ying has gradually understood many things. When he recalled his life, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have never been alone.
Having accomplished anything before, he must do it well in this rebellion and go all out.
The reason why Liu Ying is so anxious is not clear to Zhang Buyi. Only Liu Ying himself understands that his health is getting worse and worse. He knows that his wife is dissatisfied. Xiang Shang is still young now.
When he grows up, will this unworthy position cause fighting among the next generation? Liu Ying is not willing to see that scene. If he gives in, it will not be Liu Chang snatching the throne from his nephew. In the future,
There will be much fewer conflicts.
Liu Ying thinks so. Among all the brothers, he is the only one with the worst health. In recent years, due to grief and anger, long-term alcoholism, and addiction to male and female sex... After her eldest brother left, Liu Ying always felt that it was probably his turn.
He was killed by himself, but Liu Ying was not afraid in her heart. What Emperor Gao left behind for him, apart from the throne, was probably the open-mindedness of the old Liu family.
Facing Liu Ying's gaze, Zhang Buyi has been waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, when the king's face turned red from drinking and his eyes gradually became blurred, Zhang Busu nodded cautiously towards Liu Ying.
Liu Ying stood up suddenly, and Liu Chang was startled, "Second brother??"
Liu Ying looked at Liu Chang, squeezed her brother's hand, and then looked at the ministers.
"I have heard: In the past, Emperor Yao was in the Zen position of Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu! Emperor Gao died and surrendered to me. There was great chaos and chaos. The evil people rebelled and the world was overturned. It was thanks to the power of the king of Tang that it was difficult to save him.
From all directions, only clear the Xia District to protect the Suizong Temple..."
Although the ministers had long known what would happen today, when Liu Ying very formally said that she was going to do what Yao and Shun did, the ministers were still more surprised.
At this time, Liu Chang was still a little confused. He looked at Liu Ying in surprise, his eyes full of complexities, his lips pursed, and he fell into deep hesitation.
What on earth is the second brother talking about? It’s such a mess, can’t it be simpler?! Can you say it again? If I ask him now, will it appear that he is uneducated?
After the emperor spoke, Zhang Buyi immediately stood up, led the ministers, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!!!"
"Even all the bamboo slips in the world cannot describe the merits of the King of Tang Dynasty. His benevolence can even be felt by the wild beasts in the mountains and forests.... We are grateful to the King of Tang Dynasty and deeply cherish his merits.
I dare to be disrespectful to him at all. However, as an elder, you passed the position to your younger brother but not your son. This is a disservice to Emperor Gao. Please forgive us for not agreeing. Please put filial piety first, your majesty.
Don’t do anything that will offend your ancestors!”
The ministers stood up hurriedly and responded one after another.
But Liu Ying said seriously: "Please invite the Queen Mother to come to court to discuss matters."
Before Liu Ying finished speaking, Empress Lu, who had already prepared herself, walked in from the side. The ministers stood up in a hurry to pay their respects. Liu Chang stood up with a confused look on his face. He seemed to understand what Liu Ying wanted to do. The expression on his face
I was full of grief and anger, and when I saw my mother, my eyes were full of complaints. Why can't I slow down?!
But before the King of Tang could find a reason to refuse, Empress Lu said to the ministers: "The King of Tang was filial, and Emperor Gao loved him the most when he was alive. He said that he was the most filial to her among the children. Over the years, he
He always serves me and is respectful and never fails to greet me. Everyone in the world says that no one can surpass the King of Tang in his filial piety."
"Now the emperor wants to Zen and the Tang Dynasty, and has already sued Emperor Gao. Emperor Gao has no intention of blaming him. Although I am a woman, I have agreed to the emperor as the Queen Mother. I will temporarily replace Emperor Gao and give the emperor's position to Tang Dynasty.
king!"
When Liu Chang heard his mother praising him for being filial to his father, he almost laughed out loud, but under Empress Lu's stern eyes, he still succumbed.
Brother did such a good job, even his mother was summoned, but he was sure that he would not dare to be rude to her!
When Zhang Buji heard Empress Lu's answer, he lowered his head and stepped back.
Wang Tianqi immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty wants to abdicate the throne to the King of Tang. Everyone in the world knows the virtues of the King of Tang. This matter is also in line with filial piety. However, such a thing is not in line with etiquette and law. Emperor Gao will pass the throne to His Majesty."
, Your Majesty now wants to inherit the throne and the Tang Dynasty. If things go on for a long time, I am afraid that the state affairs will be chaotic and the etiquette will collapse. I hope your Majesty can think carefully before making plans!"
Facing Wang Tianqi's question, Liu Ying looked at the Confucian group in the distance.
Shusun Tong, who was too old to walk, walked up with Fuqiu Bo on crutches. Shusun Tong said loudly: "Your Majesty's behavior is the behavior of ancient sages. Your Majesty knows that his talents are not as good as those of young children."
Brother, the conduct of the descendants of the clan is far inferior to that of the King of Tang, so we decided to use the King of Tang to inherit the throne! This is the behavior of Yao and Shun, how can it be illegal? Everyone in the world should cheer for your Majesty's behavior, I am a big man
Isn’t it something worth celebrating when such wise Yao and Shun are reincarnated?”
Fu Qiubo said: "Your Majesty loves the King of Tang so much, and the King of Tang respects and loves you so much. This is an unprecedented story. Today, the Huns are causing trouble outside and there are traitors plotting to kill them inside. Your Majesty is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, so you let the King of Tang inherit the rule.
, I just hope that the King of Tang can defeat the Xiongnu, restore peace to the world, and protect the people outside the country. Isn't such a holy king and such a wise king worthy of praise from the world? What's more, the King of Tang is the direct descendant of Emperor Gao!"
"The ancestral temple has not changed. It is passed on from direct descendants to descendants. Why not?"
After Fuqiubo finished speaking, he immediately looked not far away. Wang Sheng stood up slowly. This was the most active member of the Huang Lao family. After Gai Gong became seriously ill, he vaguely became Huang Lao's leader. In Tianlu Pavilion,
In order to teach Huang Lao's theory to the princes, he stood up and said seriously: "The King of Tang's figure is different from that of ordinary people, and he has an extraordinary appearance. When the King of Tang was born, cries resounded throughout Chang'an, and there was even more earthquakes..."
Several schools of thought came up with their own theories to prove the correctness of the emperor's abdication.
Liu Chang was a little angry at first, but when he heard them constantly praising him and speaking like a wise man, he suddenly felt a little light-headed. He almost couldn't help but snatch Liu Ying's crown gown and put it on himself. However, he remembered what was going on outside.
Beasts, beauties, wine and meat, Liu Chang still remained sober. He didn't want to be tied to the throne so soon, so he had to find a way to delay it!
After these people successively proved that this was in line with etiquette, Wang Tianqi resigned.
The next person to get up was Chai Wu.
Chai Wu didn't speak as eloquently as they did, but he expressed his meaning clearly, "Your Majesty wants to abdicate to King Tang. King Tang is the heir of Emperor Gao and your younger brother. It is in line with etiquette. But the problem is, Your Majesty is not just
With a brother like the King of Tang, now that Your Majesty has abdicated, what will happen to the other princes and kings? Aren’t they going to be dissatisfied? The King of Tang is the youngest, how can he do it? Your Majesty, please give up such an idea!"
Liu Chang was watching with gusto at the moment. Good guy, this was all rehearsed in advance, right? Then who is going to prove this point? Chengyang Wang Zhang?
At this moment, Liu Chang suddenly saw his father striding into the palace. They invited his father over?!?
Liu Chang's eyes widened, he rubbed his eyes again, and then he saw the figure in the distance clearly, oh, it turned out to be Ruyi.
As he gets older, the appearance of King Zhao Ruyi becomes more and more similar to that of Liu Bang. Except for the beard, they are almost the same, as if they were carved from the same mold. Not to mention anything else, Ruyi just appears in the temple.
At that time, the ministers were all frightened. Even Chen Ping couldn't help but look at him a few more times. It felt very... strange. A person who had been dead for many years suddenly appeared. He looked so similar...
.
Liu Ruyi came in with Liu Jian and Liu Zhang, and after meeting with the ministers, Liu Ruyi said: "Among all the brothers, only the King of Tang is the most virtuous, so the princes all admire him. When Zhao is in trouble, Tang
The king saved him, and Yan State encountered a strong enemy. The king of Tang protected him, and the same was true for Wu State and Changsha... Now His Majesty wants to abdicate to the king of Tang. The princes all agree and there is no objection. I asked all the princes in the world what they think.
He said that with the King of Tang’s benevolence, righteousness and merit, only he can be the emperor.”
Liu Jian also nodded and said: "The King of Tang has special respect for his brothers and special love for me..."
Liu Chang hadn't seen this guy for a while. Looking at this guy's skinny appearance, Liu Chang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Without his elder brother to take care of him, has this guy started drinking and having fun?
But when did they come???
How come I don’t know this?!
Liu Zhang?!
Liu Chang's eyes glared fiercely at Liu Zhang, who was embroidering clothes. Liu Zhang had expected this scene a long time ago. He glanced bitterly in the direction of Empress Lu, hoping that Father Zhong could understand his difficulties. His eldest mother would not let him say anything.
, what else can I do?? If I offend Father Zhong, I will at most get a beating. If I offend my eldest mother... forget it, let's offend Father Zhong.
These guys need to be dealt with. How can a dignified man be so afraid of a woman?
Liu Chang's eyes were full of disdain, and he glanced at the guys in front of him one by one, until he looked at his mother, and then he showed a shy, innocent and honest smile.
Liu Chang never thought that his second brother would unite so many people to deal with him.
At this moment, he is almost sober and can fight back!
"good!!!"
Liu Ying shouted, quickly took off her crown robe, and couldn't wait to put it on Liu Chang. Liu Chang was in a hurry and was about to resist. Liu Ying shouted, and a group of attendants rushed up from around to change Liu Chang's clothes.
Liu Chang was so angry that he was about to hit the clothes, but in the distance, his mother's cold death gaze could be seen.
Liu Chang gritted his teeth and allowed these guys to put a black robe on him.
The attendants were also afraid of being beaten, so they dressed Liu Chang and fled in a hurry.
Liu Ying walked down, looked seriously in the direction of Liu Chang, and saluted.
"Meet Your Majesty!!!"
Liu Chang stretched out his left hand to support Liu Ying. No matter how hard she tried, Liu Ying could not bow down.
However, the ministers no longer waited. As Zhang Buyi shouted, the ministers knelt down and worshiped.
"Meet Your Majesty!!!"
"Meet Your Majesty!!!"
"Meet Your Majesty!!!"
The crowd shouted three times in succession, and Zhang Buyi said loudly: "It is the Taiwei and the Emperor's Sword! The Taiwei is currently fighting in Hexi! The Taiwei is not here, so he should be the Prime Minister of the country. However, the Prime Minister is busy, so I will serve as the Censor."
I will bear the sword of the Emperor for Your Majesty!!!"
When Zhang Buyu excitedly put the sword on Liu Chang, his hands were shaking and he failed to put it on properly several times.
Liu Chang frowned, "Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"When my brother came to the throne, didn't he have the Northern and Southern armies? Hundreds of officials? And all the princes and kings? Why didn't I have one?"
Zhang Buji said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, he ascended the throne legally... Let's... Right, please be patient... When they get familiar with each other, it won't be a problem for us to host it a few more times..."
When Liu Chang, wearing the emperor's imperial robes and the emperor's sword, stood on top, he suddenly became majestic and majestic. Just looking at him made people want to worship him. Only a few old ministers looked at each other in confusion. Your Majesty...oh, no
,How come your Majesty feels like...the King of Qin when he wears this?
Liu Chang looked at the imperial clothes he was wearing. The clothes were really nice, and the long sword was not bad either... Well, it seemed that this was not the time to pay attention to this. He looked at the ministers seriously and was about to
When he opened his mouth, he heard King Zhao step forward and say loudly: "Your Majesty!"
"I know you have no intention of taking the throne, but in this world, who else is qualified except you? If you don't agree to our request today, I will crash to death here!"
"The countries of Zhao and Yan are troubled by foreign enemies, and they need people like your majesty to save the people! If your majesty does not come to power, please allow me to say goodbye to you..."
Liu Ruyi's eyes widened and she spoke righteously.
Liu Chang was a little stunned, but Nai Gong didn't want to refuse!
But soon, Liu Chang understood what he meant, "As long as I agree, King Zhao cannot do this!"
Liu Ruyi pinched Liu Jian's waist, and Liu Jian cried out in pain and reacted, shouting: "The same is true for my brother! If the king... His Majesty does not agree! I will die here!"
"The same goes for you, ministers!!"
"Your Majesty, please agree!"
The ministers shouted, and Zhang Buyi even cried, as if Liu Chang had vowed to die and refused to accept it.
At this moment, Empress Lu's eyes when she looked at Liu Ruyi softened a lot, and she nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Chang had a dark face, listening to them urging him to take the position again and again, and said loudly: "Okay! I agree!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The crowd shouted again, but Liu Chang was in no mood to pay attention to these traitors anymore.
The banquet was still going on, Liu Chang sat on the upper seat, and Liu Ying sat aside. Next, the most important thing was actually the arrangements for Liu Ying. Liu Ying herself didn't care, just give him the King of Hexi, and there were
The minister hoped to give him a big country like Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Buyu obviously had his own ideas.
"How can the emperor be a minister?!"
"When Emperor Gao ascended the throne, he established the Supreme Emperor."
"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, you can naturally establish a Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty should respect him, but not become a minister..."
The ministers were a little confused, Your Majesty? Is this your brother turning into your father?
What should the Queen Mother do?
Liu Ying was quite happy. His plan was successful. He was grinning like a fool. Nothing about the Supreme Emperor seemed to have anything to do with him.
