Chapter Seventy-One: Changing the Yuan to 'Xingping'
Recommended reading: "Long live my emperor! Banzai! Hooray......"
The palace, the Qilin Palace, the civil and military officials lined up to enter, with the sound of the drums of the court, knelt down and saluted, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live was endless......
"All Aiqing will be exempt from courtesy!"
At the top of the imperial staircase, on the Kowloon golden chair sat the little emperor Liu Xie, a set of cut and fitting five-clawed golden dragon robes, a black dragon pattern royal belt, and the twelve-crowned crown of Tongtian, which added a lot of prestige to this son of the Han family!
Liu Xie likes the court very much, especially the big court, sitting on the dragon chair, accepting the kneeling and worshipping of the civil and military officials, this feeling makes him feel comfortable, of course, if there is not an extra figure around him, it will be better!
Prime Minister Cao Cao stood on the imperial steps, only a few steps away from the Nine Dragons Chair, and it was a waist sword, pedaling towards the boots, this is another glory he got after returning from the expedition to Huainan~~ Sword shoes to the palace!
In the Han system, hundreds of officials worship the Son of Heaven, they must remove their swords, take off their boots, and walk quickly in small steps to show respect, the 'Three Princes and Nine Qings' can also wear a pair of socks, while those lower-ranking officials can only be barefoot, and Cao Cao does not have to be subject to these restrictions, because of the high merit and weight, following the example of Xiao He, the prime minister of the founding of the Han Dynasty, he was also given the treatment of 'sword shoes on the palace', becoming the second person in the entire hall who can wear boots and wear a sword, as for the first, is the emperor!
It turns out that barefoot girls are really not very comfortable, the summer is fine, the winter can be offended, it is now December, it is the time when the weather is cold, although the brazier is placed in the warm pavilion on both sides, but the temperature in the hall is still very low, many officials are frozen and secretly rub their feet, especially those who go to the court for the first time, they are grinning, and there is no excitement at the beginning.
Looking at the pair of frozen red feet, Xiao Yi smiled in his heart, because he wore socks, or a pair of very thick socks, which were specially prepared for him by Cai Wenji, and there was animal wool in them, warm and comfortable, worthy of being a talented woman, thinking is thoughtful, of course, this is inseparable from her father Cai Yong, who has been an official all year round, this is all accumulated experience!
Now that I have slept with my daughter, I am also a cheap son-in-law, so I should go and burn a few pieces of paper for the dead ghost father-in-law, and show my heart a little.
Xiao Yizheng was proud, his eyes turned, and he found something that made him depressed, he saw that Liu Bei's socks beside him were actually bigger, thicker, and warmer!
"It is worthy of being a big-eared Ah Fu, thoughtful, and it is the first time for people to officially go to court, so they are so well prepared, who can compare to this skill?"
But after thinking about it, Xiao Yi was relieved, Liu Bei was originally a straw sandal, and he had been dealing with shoes and socks for half his life.
For a while, I thought about going to the grave to burn paper, and for a while peeking at other people's socks, it was not that Xiao Yi was not serious in the court, but there was nothing that could make him serious at the court, everyone knew that the real military affairs were all discussed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was the real power core of the Han Dynasty, as for the little emperor, it was nothing more than some ceremonial things, and the last dynasty was just to brush up on the sense of existence.
But today, just when everyone was silent and ready to spend a while, they went back to their respective homes and hugged their wives, a figure walked out of the civil official ranks.
"Minister, the servant is over, there is a book to play Your Majesty!"
"Brush!"
The eyes in the main hall suddenly fell on Fu Wan, who was kneeling under the imperial steps, I don't know what this always low-key waiter is going to do?
"Fu Aiqing said it quickly, I should listen carefully!" Seeing that there was a minister playing, the little emperor immediately straightened his waist and lifted his spirits, as long as he could be allowed to deal with national affairs, even if it was a trivial matter, he would be very happy, and even more so, with the first one, there would be a second, the third, bit by bit, the stream became a river, and finally poured thousands of miles!
"Since I moved the capital to Xuchang, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, Lai Baiguan is diligent, the society is stable, the weather is thousands, and the country is getting better day by day, and now it is the end of the year, please ask Your Majesty to change the yuan, thinking that the world is congratulating!"
"It turned out that it was recommended to change the era name!" After listening to the music of the end, the ministers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor changed the yuan, said that it is not small, it is not big, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first created the 'year name', the successive emperors of the Han family will change the era name every few years, often change the fresh!
Now the little emperor's year name - 'Zhongping', or Dong Zhuo began to use it when he was in turmoil, it has been used for three years, and now after moving the capital, the new court, the new atmosphere, should indeed change the name of the year, celebrate, in this regard, even Prime Minister Cao Cao also nodded in approval.
So the ministers in the hall immediately began to discuss, hundreds of officials, naturally there is no shortage of well-educated people, let them lead the troops to fight may not work, but it is not difficult to think of an auspicious and good 'year name', and soon the little emperor's new year name will be released~~~ Xingping!
The rest is simple, the official is responsible for drafting the decree, the emperor uses the jade seal, after the prime minister Cao Cao has seen it, he stamped his own gold seal at the bottom, and then Shangshu Ling-Xun Yu and others checked it again, stamped the Shangshu seal, passed the three procedures, and ordered the promulgation of the whole country, and then twenty days, from next year, it will be the first year of 'Xingping'!
The decree was issued, the little emperor was satisfied, the prime minister recognized, and the officials were naturally all happy, and they all clapped their hands and congratulated, hoping that the new era name could bring good luck to the Han Dynasty, the country and the people, and the four seas were peaceful!
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials were happy, but Xiao Yi frowned secretly, he did not object to the emperor changing the year name, and he didn't mind everyone celebrating together, but this matter was raised by Fu Wan, and it seemed that he was a little suspicious, you know, this guy's home, there is still a phoenix hidden~~~

"Your Majesty, the old minister-Yang Biao has a book!"
A white-haired old minister stood up from the position of the head of the generals, and did not bow down, but just bowed slightly, there is only one person with this qualification in the hall~~ Taiwei Yang Biao!
Yang Biao was born in the famous Hongnong Yang family, great-grandfather Yang Zhen, grandfather Yang Bing, father Yang Ci are all official residences 'Taiwei', and are known for their loyalty, if the Yuan family is 'the fourth world and three dukes', then the Yang family is the 'fourth Taiwei', not inferior in fame, but the Yang family is relatively low-key, has always been a poetry and book heirloom, and does not ask much about politics.
In addition to the official residence 'Taiwei', Yang Biao is also a veteran of the Four Dynasties, with profound qualifications, is an evergreen tree and tumbler in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, for decades, countless big waves, the officials in the court have changed batch after batch, even the emperor has changed four, only he is an old man, sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, safe and sound, with this ability and qualifications, even Prime Minister Cao Cao gave him three points, respectfully called him 'boss!' ’
"Lao Aiqing has something to say, I will definitely agree!" Liu Xie's waist straightened up, his eyes lit up, and he really found a feeling of dominating the world.
"The reason why the Han Dynasty is in turmoil is because His Majesty is young, the lord is suspicious, and some rebellious ministers and thieves dare to peep at the artifact and be arrogant, such as Huainan Yuan Shu is this example, so the old minister asked His Majesty to perform the 'crown ceremony' as soon as possible to show the world!"
Taiwei Yang Biao's words can be described as insinuations, especially the sentence 'chaotic ministers and thieves, peeping at the artifact', explicitly scolding Yuan Shu and alluding to Cao Cao, who really carried a knife in his words.
Didn't you bully the emperor too young, then let him become an adult, in the eyes of the world, he is an adult who has performed the 'crown ceremony', and he can fulfill the rights and obligations of an adult monarch, and see who dares to be disrespectful!
"Wow! …… Wow! ”
There was a sudden uproar among the ministers, some smart people have already understood, no wonder the waiter - after the completion of the performance, it turned out to be waiting here, the front is just a foreshadowing, and the crown ceremony is the real chapter!
For the emperor, the 'crown ceremony' has a special significance, starting from the Zhou Dynasty, once the reigning king dies, the prince can ascend the throne regardless of whether he is old or young, but if he is a minor, he cannot be pro-government.
For example, King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne at an early age, and was regent by the Duke of Zhou until he became an adult. Ying Zheng was thirteen years old when he was on the throne of Qin, but it was not until he was twenty-two years old, 'crown ceremony, with a sword', before he was pro-government, from the Son of Heaven to Shishu, the crown ceremony is "adult capital", and those who do not perform the crown ceremony are "incurable!" ”
"Old lady, according to the ancient rites, a man is twenty and crowned, His Majesty is thirteen years old, and after the New Year, he is only fourteen years old, and it seems inappropriate to hold a coming-of-age crown ceremony in a hurry!"
Someone among the courtiers immediately spoke out against it, and the fourteen-year-old child was declared an adult, which inevitably had a bit of a 'pulling out the seedlings to help grow', even if it was an incomparably noble emperor, he had to grow up slowly at the age of one year like countless ordinary people's children, right?
"In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also a sixteen-year-old adult who performed the 'crown ceremony', His Majesty is smart and wise, has the posture of a holy lord, and comes of age early, why not?" This time the speaker was Dasikong - Zhang Xi, who was also a veteran of the Four Dynasties and ranked as the third duke.
A lieutenant, a big Sikong, the appeal is absolutely amazing, and suddenly many old ministers, such as Dong Cheng, Chongji, Wu Zilan, and the prince are ......, have knelt down and saluted, asking the little emperor to follow the old practice of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to perform the crown salute in advance, adults!
"I~~I~"
Liu Xie felt that he was about to fly, happiness came so quickly, and the coming-of-age ceremony meant that he could marry his daughter-in-law, ......no, he could govern the dynasty alone, and the comfort added to his body could be fully freed, and then take back the power that belonged to him little by little~
"Okay, since Zhong Aiqing insists on this, after the New Year is changed, I will perform the 'crown ceremony' and swear to adulthood, and from then on I will personally manage the government and rule the world!" Liu Xie was about to laugh in his heart, but his face was silent, and he asked Cao Cao beside him, "What do you think, Prime Minister?" ”
"Caught off guard?" is as cunning as Cao Cao, and he didn't expect those old ministers to play this trick and take back his authority by letting the little emperor become an adult in advance, "Gao, it's really Gao, I don't know who is behind the scenes, Taiwei Yang Biao?" Sikong Zhang Xi? Or maybe it's ~~"
"The minister seconded the proposal! I respectfully ask Your Majesty to perform the crown salute! Since the wood has been completed, since it can't be changed, Cao Cao simply bowed and recognized it directly.
"Retreat!"
