Chapter 404: The new monarch succeeds to the throne

Although Liu Chan is the crown prince, he is Liu Bei's eldest son, and he also needs to participate in the ceremony, and Liu Yong, Liu Li and others kneel on both sides of Liu Bei's coffin.

To May 20, Liu Bei officially entered the earth for peace, buried in Huiling, Liu Chan and the civil and military consultation, posthumously Liu Bei as the Zhaolie Emperor.

After the funeral was over, the great Sima Zhuge Liang summoned the civil and military forces to the Houde Hall and read out Liu Bei's edict: "I got sick at the beginning, but I had dysentery, and then I was reborn with miscellaneous diseases, and I couldn't help myself."

I heard that people are fifty years old, and they are not called premature. Now that I am more than 60 years old, why hate death?

After my death, the crown prince Liu Chan inherited the unification, and hoped that the civil and military ministers would assist him. ”

Zhuge Liang finished reading the holy decree and said to Liu Chan: "Now that the first emperor has died, the country cannot be without a king for a day. ”

"Please choose a day for the crown prince to ascend the throne to inherit the Han dynasty!"

A group of civil and military officers also said in unison.

Liu Chan looked at the civil and military ministers and said: "Lone virtue is shallow, I am afraid that I will not be able to take on this great responsibility, and I ask the princes to set up another virtuous monarch." ”

The ministers had already said this, and their eggs suddenly hurt.

This son is really a virtue with Lao Tzu.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The prince Hugh wants to be vain, on virtue, the name of His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence and filial piety has long been famous all over the world, on talent, merit, His Royal Highness the Prince was eight years old to counsel the military and politics, the south is set in the south, and the east is defeated by Lu Meng, this pseudo-Wei Cao Pi is far from reaching."

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't inherit the Han Dynasty, who can? Moreover, there is an edict of the first emperor here, and he also asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to resign, but to choose a day to ascend the throne and inherit the Han dynasty. ”

A group of civil and military officials also said: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to resign, choose a day to ascend the throne, and inherit the Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Chan groaned: "Well, since there is an edict from my father, if I am lonely, it is also unfilial, so this matter will be handed over to Da Sima and Tai Changqing." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Da Sima Zhuge Liang, Tai Changqing and Zhang Song heard the words and surrendered their orders.

In 223 AD, May 28 was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and Liu Chan officially ascended the throne, that is, the emperor.

Worship heaven and earth at the altar, worship the ancestors in the temple, after the first emperor, Liu Chan came down to the Houde Hall in the support of the military generals, and the ceremonial officials wore the crown of Pingtian, and after taking over the jade seal of the country, he officially ascended the throne of the emperor.

Looking at the civil and military ministers who knelt on the ground below and paid homage to the new monarch, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and it had been fifteen years since he traveled here, and he finally came to this point.

And today's Yan Han is much stronger than the Shu Han in history.

First of all, Jingzhou, Shangyong was not lost, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Pang Tong and other important ministers were not dead.

He also harvested Zhang Ren, Xu Shu, Lin Xiao, Pang De and other important ministers.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong were not obtained by Cao Cao, and Jiangxia County and Yanhan also accounted for one-third.

Then there is Jiaozhou, which does not belong to Sun Quan, but to Liu Han.

Next, it is not impossible to do just need to make great efforts, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and the return of the Three Kingdoms to Han.

Liu Chan's eyes flashed, and he said with both hands: "All Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers thanked Liu Chan and came to their respective seats and sat down.

Liu Chan said to a group of civil and military officials: "Now that the first emperor has gone, the Empress Tezun is the queen mother, and Mrs. Mi is the imperial concubine." From today onwards, the Yuan will be rebuilt. ”

"No!"

Zhang Song arched his hand and said: "Now that Your Majesty is on the throne, there is no owner in the harem, and I ask Your Majesty to canonize the queen." ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Now I have no heirs, and the matter of canonizing the queen will be discussed in the future." ”

The matter of canonizing the queen is a big event, and the son of the general queen is the prince, and Liu Chan has no son at the moment, so naturally he will not canonize the queen now.

Now Liu Chan has three concubines, Guan Feng has a free and easy personality, not suitable for the world of motherhood, Sun Shangxiang is the daughter of Jiangdong, Shui Luoyi is the daughter of the barbarian, aside from personality, these two are not suitable to be the queen.

In fact, Liu Chan's ideal candidate for queen is Zhang Fei's daughter Zhang Xingcai, although Zhang Xingcai is Zhang Fei's daughter, her personality is completely different from Zhang Fei, she is dignified and virtuous, and she is the best candidate for the queen.

The original plan was to marry her this year, but now that Liu Bei has just passed away, Liu Chan is the emperor, even if he does not have to keep filial piety for three years according to folk customs, and he will not marry his wife for three years, but he will not marry them this year.

"No!" Zhang Song listened to Liu Chan's words, quickly thought about Liu Chan's concerns, did not mention the matter again, and returned to the class.

Later, the ministers discussed some major matters that had not been dealt with in the past year, and then retired from the court.

"This emperor is not so easy to be." In the study, Liu Chan put down the red pen that was reading and folding, shook his numb hand, and slandered his palm.

From last year, Liu Bei was seriously ill in Hanzhong to this year, Liu Chan ascended the throne this year, a year has passed, this year, the country's government affairs are handled by Shang Shuling Xu Shu, with Xu Shu's talent, it is naturally more than enough to deal with these things.

But despite this, there are still some important things that the emperor needs to take care of himself.

Therefore, Liu Chan, who had just ascended the throne, was forced to deal with the government affairs that had been piled up for a year.

At this moment, Huang Hao walked in and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the general, the general of the chariot and cavalry asks to see you!" ”

When he was in the East Palace, Huang Hao was the head of the East Palace, and now that Liu Chan has ascended the throne, Huang Hao has also risen and become Huangmen Cheng, that is, following the emperor's side, serving left and right, and passing on affairs.

For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now asking to see Liu Chan, and Huang Hao is passing it on.

Hearing this, Liu Chan hurriedly said, "Let them come in!" ”

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!" After a while, the two came to the temple.

Liu Chan hurriedly helped the two of them up and said, "Second uncle, third uncle, you and my uncle and nephew, you don't have to make this big gift, please get up quickly, come here, sit down!" ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!" Guan Yu shook his head and said with a normal face, although he was arrogant, he was also very serious about etiquette.

Liu Chan sat on the first seat, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knelt on both sides.

Liu Chan said to the two: "The second uncle and the third uncle came together, I don't know what happened?" ”

Guan Yu said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, the three of us brothers, Taoyuan is righteous, living and dying together, after the death of the eldest brother, we two brothers wanted to follow and go, with the love of the whole Taoyuan."

However, before the eldest brother died, let my two brothers live their lives, wait for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and take a look at Chang'an and Luoyang for him, now that you have ascended the throne, our two brothers are over sixty years old, and the days of the war are numbered, I don't know when you plan to go on the Northern Expedition? ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, if Your Majesty is the Northern Expedition, I must be a pioneer." ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, and said with a smile: "Now that my nephew has just ascended the throne, my father was seriously ill last year, and he didn't deal with official affairs for a year, so the official affairs are piled up, and many major matters need to be solved urgently, but I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will not be able to be carried out this year." ”

Zhang Fei asked: "That means that the Northern Expedition can be made next year?" ”
