Late at night, Ye Qing put on his clothes and went out to the courtyard. The crape myrtle star dimmed in the sky. This was either an illusion or not.
As soon as the news of the emperor's death came out, the important ministers rushed to the city. Some went to He's Mansion, some to Zhang's Mansion, and some stayed behind closed doors. Some weak heroes followed them into the city, waiting for the palace.
Send orders.
"Who will ascend the throne? Shi Hou or Dong Hou?" At this time, neither prince had the title of king, let alone the title of prince.
"The Emperor... the late emperor had two sons, and his preference was the younger Dong Hou. He wanted to establish him as the crown prince several times, but Shi Hou was the eldest son of Queen He. His name was justified, and he was protected by the general He Jin. He Jin controlled the northern and southern armies.
, being so powerful is terrifying.”
"In order to allocate the military power to He Jin, the late emperor recruited strong men in Xiyuan last year and established eight captains in Xiyuan. His trusted eunuch, Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo, was in charge of all armies and directly obeyed the emperor's orders. Even He Jin was greatly restricted."
"If the late emperor had lived for another three years, he could have gradually reduced He Jin's military power and installed Dong Hou in his place. It's a pity that he has no time."
"Zhang Rang, the Ten Permanent Attendants, is one with Jian Shuo, the senior military commander? But Yuan Shao, the middle military commander, and Cao Cao, the dian military commander, are afraid that they are one with He Jin..."
"Generally speaking, Shi Hou's ascension to the throne is not only justified, but also superior in terms of strength." Ye Qing thought silently, his mind even brighter.
All politics are based on status and strength, and status is ultimately transformed by strength. There is no luck in it, and there are many people in the city who think so.
"The only chance is to summon the ten permanent servants to summon He Jin, and then make a coup and kill him. This way, we can help Dong Hou ascend to the throne and end it, because everyone knows that the late emperor loved Dong Hou. At this time, he forged
It is not difficult for the ten permanent servants to write a legacy edict."
"Let's wait and see for now." At this moment, Ye Qing no longer thought about the conflict with the governor at the banquet. Although he maintained harmony, everyone understood that this was an almost irreparable break.
A long street, this is the only way to go from the barracks to the palace, and it is also the only way to enter the palace.
Not long after, a motorcade passed through the street. It was a gorgeous carriage that I had seen at dusk. A strong man stood on top of it, with a majestic appearance.
The motorcade was about to drive towards the palace. Suddenly, in the night, a scholar jumped out and stopped in front: "General, wait a moment."
On the left and right side of the convoy, the soldiers suddenly shook, drew their swords, and raised their spears. As long as the superiors gave a signal, or there was no instruction for a moment, they would assassinate this man on the spot.
"Who is it?" He Jin's heart suddenly moved, and on a whim, he leaned forward and asked.
"Please, General, be on guard against any changes in the palace." The scholar raised his head and said sincerely.
He Jin was startled for a moment, frowned, and waved his hand. Someone immediately responded and shouted at the scholar: "You are talking nonsense, give this guy thirty sticks and throw him out."
As soon as the order was passed, two armored soldiers rushed forward, knocked him to the ground unceremoniously, raised their sticks and started beating him.
"Pah - pah -" the stick fell, and it was heard far away in the quiet street.
"General, General, I am loyal..." The man could only shout in grief and anger, watching the car drive past without stopping, his expression difficult to distinguish.
"Fool..." There were many people in the nearby residence, and many eyes were cast on him. He didn't show up at the night banquet. He must have never been on Wang Yun's list, so he took the risk to fight for it. But is this kind of thing so adventurous?
"Don't even think about participating in the follow-up after this." Many people said happily.
This scholar was stubborn and gritted his teeth until the very end. He refused to change his words until he was thrown out on a fork, which changed many people's views.
In a world where reputation is important, a nobody is a nobody. He Jin will not pay attention to it, but there will be many more important people trying their best to remind him, and there may even be people within the Shichangshi.
Everyone knows the inside story - the emperor died tonight, and it is said that Jian Shuo was left behind to be appointed Marquis of Dong. Regardless of whether this order is true or false, once the dethronement is successful, Jian Shuo will become the head of the Ten Constant Attendants -
-This eunuch group is not monolithic.
Sure enough, the sound of horse hoofs was soon heard in the palace, and He Jin and his party ran back wildly. Instead of returning to He Mansion, they went directly to the army barracks.
"Brother?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed him out. Guan Yu asked with concern: "Brother is looking for anger again? Is there something unexpected?"
"It's okay now." Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the palace. The emperor's aura stabilized slightly, and when He Jin entered the military camp, a military aura suddenly filled the air, protecting He Jin.
He Jin went straight into the barracks and could not come out. Jian Shuo was troubled internally and externally, so he could only watch as Marquis of Shi Liu Bian ascended to the throne and became the Young Emperor.
The scholar insisted that the effect would be compensated soon.
"His thinking is correct. He made his position clear so quickly, and he will make up for it in the future. Moreover, his reputation has gained some foundation. For a heavenly being who is not a local hero, it is already a good gain. Overall, it is not a loss.
It’s just that the work was too rough, and the He Jin who sold it to him had no future, and it was just a short-term operation.”
Ye Qing thought like this, closed the tent, and went to sleep. After sleeping for a while, he heard Jiang Chen's voice: "My lord, the palace has sent someone again."
"I'll come out right away. Please come into the hall to talk."
Jiang Chen hurriedly responded and walked away. Ye Qing quickly got up, put on his clothes after washing, and entered the living room. He saw someone sitting in the living room. This person was Wang Ling, and his attitude towards Ye Qing became even more affectionate.
, stood up and said: "I am following my uncle's orders to invite Mr. Xuande. Today, my uncle only invited Mr. Xuande. It is not a garden outside the city, but his residence in the east of the city."
Ye Qing and Jian Yong looked at each other and knew in their hearts that this was Wang Yun's private banquet.
"Wang Yun was a key figure until the time when he was fighting for Dong. You can't miss it, let alone..." He happily attended the meeting immediately.
The sky is still sunny, but the weather in Luoyang city is different from yesterday.
When the emperor died, the whole city was in mourning.
Except for the flying white paper flowers on the spiritual curtain, Ye Qing felt that the people were only worried about the future situation, and there was not much sorrow at all.
"At this time, I don't know if there is a posthumous title of Ding-Ling."
A good posthumous title is to affirm the emperor's spirit of the previous generation and inherit it, while a bad posthumous title is to criticize the emperor's spirit of the previous generation and learn lessons... This is derived from the supervision of the elected leaders by the members of the pre-Qin Dynasty... In the Zhou Dynasty, the people were governed by virtue and the "God of Haotian" was established.
According to the imperial power and legal system, the herdsmen of Daitian are the "Son of Heaven"... By the time of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's theory of heaven-human induction was even more believed and followed by the people. This "Heaven" gradually gained real power in the world, making the emperor wary.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the posthumous title system was corrupted by the posthumous title of ancestors. Li Shimin's original concise "Emperor Wen" was embellished and he created "Emperor, Great Sage, Great Hongxiao Emperor", which squeezed out the political significance of the posthumous title and no one took it seriously anymore.
At this time, the Han people respected heaven and faith and valued this posthumous title. No subsequent emperor or minister dared to cheat.
"Xiao" has always been the basic character that appeared in the posthumous titles of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also called Emperor Xiaowu because of his achievements. There are only two people in the two Han Dynasties who can avoid the word "filial piety" - Emperor Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the former Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the emperor Guangwu of the later Han Dynasty.
.
The shape of the "spirit" oracle bone inscriptions is that of a shaman who is praying for rain from the gods. It is easy to offer sacrifices to ghosts and ghosts, but does not harm the spirits. This emphasis was not popular for the Han Dynasty, which had orthodox sacrifices in Haotian.
It means that one is dull and does not do his job properly, and the country is in turmoil but cannot be stopped.
The so-called "filial piety" is a naked curse. In layman's terms, it means "a good death."
On the way to visit Wang Yun in the east of the city, Ye Qing actually saw some old people on the street leaning on crutches and cursing, but they were alluding to: "It's a good death."
Ye Qing laughed. Since Zhang Fei was here at this time, he couldn't say much, so he just thought about it secretly.
After a moment the carriage stopped, Wang Ling peeked in from the curtain in front and explained: "There are government officials blocking the way in front, just wait a moment."
Ye Qing nodded, closed his eyes and rested.
There was a sound of neat footsteps on the street, and street stalls moved out of the way, knocking down some. The smell of fragrant powder filled the air. There were the sounds of women screaming, old people scolding, children crying, and the crowd became noisy.
Zhang Fei quickly opened the car curtain to watch the excitement...
But it turned out that it was the yamen officers who came over for inspection and heard that one of the leaders, who was in rare order and well-armed, pressed his sword and said sternly: "No slander is allowed..."
At this time, there was an old man holding a nine-foot-long cane with a dove-shaped carving on the top. He raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Bah, the Qiang people are not exterminated, and bandits are everywhere. As a descendant of the Han family, you don't want to kill the bandits to serve the country. Here you go."
Showing prestige"
Only then did the yamen officer realize that the old man's eyebrows were all white, and when he saw the dove-shaped cane, he immediately looked at each other - this was a royal cane.
"The old man needs to take good care of himself, no matter what the national affairs are..."
"I'm just scolding my grandson, so what's the point of talking about state affairs?" The old man was also smart. As he said this, the government servants retreated angrily amidst the laughter of the crowd.
"Cowardless rats," the old man snorted, and all the village elders sighed at the chaos in the world...
Wang Ling restarted the carriage, and the dramatic scene slid past the window in reverse, until the delicate cane disappeared from sight. Ye Qing withdrew his gaze, thoughtfully.
In Liu Bei's memory, the kinship political tradition has been in place since the Zhou Dynasty. The king's staff is only given to those who have meritorious service among the clan members, or to the elderly who are over seventy years old - there is hard work even if there is no merit. This takes care of social favors and stabilizes the hearts of the society, and everyone can have it.
When you are old and unable.
"With this royal staff, you can share the national sacrifice. Although there is no difference in luck, the power is the same - don't underestimate this.
In my original memory, a low-level official at the township level in Linjun detained an old man holding a staff without permission because he was suspected of violating the law. Although he was not beaten, he was sentenced to death and beheaded in public - according to Han law, the old man holding a staff was sentenced to death.
If the old man with the stick abuses, beats, etc., he will be punished with death as a crime of treason.
The Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties successively gave this kind of royal staff to the seventy-year-olds, and the treatment of sharing the power of national sacrifices has remained unchanged. Even Ye Qing knows that the treatment of sacrifices was not abolished until the Ming Dynasty - because at this time, after the Yuan Dynasty
, the Haotian Sacrifice has somewhat declined.
"At this time, sacrifices were valued, and the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, which added this layer of political needs. Yu Wangzhang shared the national sacrifices, and also enjoyed the political treatment of "six hundred stones" (equivalent to a county magistrate, a small county magistrate)
, the economy is regularly distributed with rice, wine, and meat, and the children and grandchildren are exempted from taxes so that they can concentrate on supporting the elderly."
The best senior citizen preferential treatment certificate ever.
"It is a pity that relying solely on an agricultural society, once the expansion of the empire is blocked by foreign enemies, the people's morale will gradually fail, and it will eventually fall into silence."
No wonder the three monarchs of the Taoist sect would rather accept the rise of the Five Emperors one after another, but also promote the ascension of heaven, centrally control the spiritual mansions of the world, and have the power to transform nature.
"The Great Tribulation has so far only shown the two major systems of Water Mansion and Sealed Earth. They are already as powerful as mountains and seas. The Sealed Earth system is connected to the lower soil and can withstand attacks from both inside and outside the outer domain. What will happen with other systems?
Ye Qing has always believed that science and technology lies in widespread popularization, and Taoism lies in the concentration of one body. These are the real observations of the two civilizations, but now from the perspective of strength, development to the end is great power.
The whole journey was silent, and the palace appeared in front of me again.
"Liu Bei of Zhuo County, I am invited by your master..." Ye Qing submitted the post, and soon a middle-aged housekeeper came out to greet him, saying: "Xuan De Gong, please wait a moment, the master will greet you personally."
