In the tenth year of Yanxi's reign, he was at the age of Dingwei.
In the first month of the first month, Renzi is dark, and there is an eclipse on the sun.
The emperor died in the front hall of Deyang.
When the emperor passed away, the whole world mourned. From the royal officials to the common people, they all cried bitterly. Even though these party members were incompatible with Emperor Daxing, they were also busy one after another. First, they passed the Emperor Daxing through his general.
He notified the world about his death, and then wrote a memorial and discussed the name of the temple and so on.
Of course, there is something more important: a country cannot live without a king for a day.
When it comes to negotiating matters with the emperor, it is obvious that the queen in the palace has more say.
Because the Daxing Emperor had no heirs, after the death of the Daxing Emperor, the ministers respected the queen as the Empress Dowager, and the Queen Mother came to the court. Generally speaking, the Queen Mother came to the court when the clan was weak or a relative took power. However,
This time, it was entirely because of Dou Wu's virtuous reputation, and simply because Dou Wu was one of the leaders of the party, there was no objection to the Empress Dowager's approach to the court.
Even the eunuchs such as the Cao family did not say anything. After the emperor died, even the eunuchs in the palace had no backers, let alone them? Dou Miao never thought that she would still have a chance to go to court. She
She was not liked by the emperor to begin with. In order to make her angry, the emperor even deliberately found a prostitute named Tian Sheng and often brought her to the harem to show off.
Of course, perhaps in the eyes of party members, not being close to the emperor was the key to her success in the imperial court.
After the death of the emperor, there were many things going on, and the queen mother only mourned for three days before being pulled out by Dou Wu for a court meeting.
Outside Deyang Palace, everything was white. Even the ministers were wearing plain clothes. The queen, who was a little haggard, was helped to the place where the emperor was kneeling. She sat on the side and watched the ministers below sit on the high position.
There was still sadness between her brows. She loved that emperor, even though he hated her more than he loved her. When she saw the Queen Mother, those ministers began to cry again.
The Son of Heaven is supreme, and even if there is a mistake, it is just a trick of an eunuch.
Except for those passionate imperial students, no one would criticize the emperor. No matter how many wrong things the emperor did, the Queen Mother could not help but feel sad and began to comfort the party members whom the emperor hated most.
, after a while, Shangshu Zhu Yu just said: "The Queen Mother, the ministers discussed and decided to designate the temple name of the Daxing Emperor as Wei and the clan, but the posthumous name has not yet been decided."
The Queen Mother was stunned. She really didn't expect that the Emperor could still get a temple title and be worshiped by later emperors. The party members and the Emperor were fighting openly and secretly. What kind of situation was this? Seeing that the Queen Mother did not reply, Dou Wu coughed lightly, and the Queen Mother
After coming back to his senses, he nodded and said, "The officials will discuss these matters among themselves and there is no need to report them to me."
Another minister, Wei Lang, said: "It will be a good time in three days, and the emperor of Daxing can enter the imperial mausoleum."
"Can."
Ministers continued to come out to report on various matters, and the Queen Mother gave permission.
At the end of the discussion, the ministers calmed down and looked at Dou Wu. Dou Wu naturally understood in his heart that they were negotiating who should be welcomed as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. As a relative of the emperor and with a virtuous reputation, he was probably going to be the first to start.
, Dou Wu stood up, bowed, and said: "Emperor Daxing has passed away, but the country must not be without a king. I hope the Queen Mother will give an order to invite a virtuous son of the clan to take the throne!"
The Queen Mother looked at Dou Wu and said, "We can ask Zongzheng to discuss this."
Then a man walked out from among the officials. This man had a majestic face and a tall stature. He stood up and bowed again. This man was Zongzheng Liu Tao.
After Liu Bo, the king of Beizhen, promoted Xiaolian and appointed him as the chief of Shunyang, he was appointed as the imperial censor and paid homage to Zongzheng. This man was known for his uprightness and outspokenness. He opened his mouth and said: "A close relative of the emperor is Jiedutinghou Hongye, Hongye."
, the great-grandson of King Xiao of Hejian, Zushu, father Chang, was granted the title of Marquis of Jieduting."
Dou Wu and the other people all frowned. It stands to reason that Liu Tao was also a student of the imperial family. He once participated in the movement with the imperial students, and even reported it directly to the emperor. That was when the emperor actually fell in love with this upright son of the clan.
, step by step, he reached his current position. Unexpectedly, he, who was born as a student, actually said that he was the Marquis of Jiedu Ting without hesitation.
You must know that Marquis Jiedu Ting has no reputation as a virtuous person in front of many imperial students.
Dou Wu couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up slowly and said, "I heard that Liu Hong has a bad reputation and is not a virtuous person. How can Ziqi talk about this person?"
Liu Taosheng had a strong figure, a loud voice, and no fear on his face. He said loudly: "I have never met this man, so I don't know how virtuous he is! But I heard that Mr. He of the Shaofu enlightened him. It can be seen that this son is not unworthy, but his
He is still weak and can be taught, and he is a close relative of the Daxing Emperor, so he is also this son."
Many ministers also knew Liu Tao's bad temper. This man was not polite in front of the emperor. Under the influence of the strange party atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, he went against Dou Wu in this way, but he won the admiration of the majority of the party members.
, even Dou Wu was the same. He felt that it was a great fortune for the Han Dynasty to have such upright ministers, but Dou Wu still did not want to welcome Liu Hong.
Although Liu Hong did not have a bad reputation, he had a grudge with the imperial students because of Yuan Wei's incident, and he heard that the emperor specially sent the eunuch Cao Teng to personally reward him. In his opinion, this son must be close to the eunuchs and alienated from the party members.
If he is welcomed, he might be the next Daxing Emperor. What if he is imprisoned by the party again?
He frowned and added: "If the emperor is a close relative, the king of Hejian is also the same, and his title is also high."
"Jun Yanzi, is he the son of the evil thief who assassinated his fellow sect?"
Liu Tao just said a word, which made Dou Wu speechless. He waved his hand, looked at the many dignitaries named Liu below, and said like calling them by name: "Where is Liu Min, the imperial censor?", and immediately there was another one.
A courtier came out and said, "He is Liu Min, the imperial censor. He is also a well-known figure in the clan. Dou Wu summoned him because he wanted to rely on him to solve the problem."
"You are a virtuous person of the country, and you are a noble member of the clan. In your opinion, who can worship the ancestral temple?"
"Jiedutinghou Liu Hong."
He just said a word and returned to his original position.
The ministers were dumbfounded, and Dou Wu was even more stunned. These clans were really unified. He raised his head helplessly and looked at the Queen Mother Dou. Little did he know that the Queen Mother Dou was also looking at him. This father who had been his idol since childhood, he
Why did he want to raise that three-year-old boy? The scream of the castrated dog seemed to resound in the Queen Mother's heart. Could it be that he really wanted to be Liang Ji?
General Dou's hopes were placed on the Queen Mother. This matter was easy to say. All it took was one word from the Queen Mother to make the decision.
The party members were also not united. Although most of them did not want to welcome Liu Hong, the Han clan clan headed by Liu Chong devoted themselves to Liu Hong. It was said that Liu Hong was of the same lineage as the emperor, and,
Previously, his mother was humiliated and even stabbed the Prime Minister with a sword. In terms of these things, this son was courageous and filial, which became the reason why these clans wanted to welcome Liu Hong.
Looking at Dou Wu's eyes, the Queen Mother slowly spoke:
"I ordered Dou Wu, the Marquis of Huaili, to lead thousands of men and hundreds of horses to the Hejian Kingdom."
"Welcome Hou Hong of Jie Du Ting to ascend the throne!"
The ministers fell silent immediately, and looked at Dou Wu strangely. Dou Wu was in a daze for a moment, then came back to his senses, and thanked the Queen Mother. He came from a distinguished family, and was the great-great-grandson of the former Grand Sikong Dou Rong, and the son of Dou Feng, the prefect of Dingxiang.
He had a very high reputation, and together with Liu Shu and Chen Fan, he was known as the "Three Monarchs". He was a virtuous and famous person, but he couldn't do what Liang Ji did. Since the Queen Mother had orders, even if the Queen Mother was her own daughter, he chose to obey.
At this moment, the little fat man who was reading and enjoying himself in the Jiedu Pavilion had no idea that more than a thousand guards were getting ready to go, and their target was the Jiedu Pavilion in Raoyang County, Hejian State.
