Chapter 28: The Later Lord Liu Chan (II)
Princess Ma's strength, Liu Chan has been taught, after Liu Lixue, according to the opinions of the ministers, should be buried with the ceremony of the king of the county. The princes and kings are hereditary, but they are also divided into two ranks: princes and county kings, and the emperor's son is the prince, above the kings. When Liu Li was crowned king, when Liu Bei was alive, he was named King of Liang, so he was naturally a prince. After Liu Chan became emperor, Liu Li was renamed the king of Anping, although the edict did not say it explicitly, but in fact it was already demoted to the king of the county.
But Princess Ma fought hard in the court, and she won Liu Li's qualification for the prince's funeral, and Princess Ma's strong side also left a deep impression on Liu Chan and the ministers of the court.
This time, Princess Ma handed over a request to restore the title of King Anping of Liu Yin, and Liu Chan also attached great importance to it.
The opinions of the ministers are not unanimous, and the ministers headed by Shangshu Ling Fan Jian and Zhang Shao in the service support the change of the throne, thinking that the concubines are different, the young and the old are orderly, Liu Yin was originally the king of Anping, only because he was unconscious and changed the title of Liu Ji as the king, and now that Liu Yin has woken up, it is natural to restore his throne; The ministers headed by Zhuge Zhan, the general of the auxiliary state, and Zhang Jun, Taichang, opposed the change of the throne, believing that Liu Ji had been named the king of Anping, and if he wanted to abolish the throne, then there must be rules to follow, and Liu Ji had succeeded to the throne, followed the rules, abided by his duties, and did not have the fault of exceeding the prohibition and prohibitions.
The two sides hold their own words and do not give in to each other.
In fact, this matter was not complicated at all, but when it was put into the whirlpool of political struggle in the court, this contradiction became acute.
The factional strife in the court has been going on for a long time. As early as when Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son seized Yizhou, the local forces in Yizhou and the Dongzhou forces cultivated by Liu's father and son were seriously opposed, and they were on the same footing. After Liu Bei became the ruler of Yizhou, this contradiction not only did not ease, but intensified. Liu Bei's forces were also divided into two major factions, the Yuan Cong faction headed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the Jingxiang faction headed by Zhuge Liang, but although there were contradictions between these two factions, they could take into account the overall situation and did not fundamentally endanger Liu Bei's rule.
With the collapse of Liu Bei and the withering of the Yuan subordinate lineage, the Jingxiang faction led by Zhuge Liang soon stood out and overrode the other three major factions, Li Yan was deposed, Peng Yang and Liao Li were ambushed, and the forces of the Yizhou and Dongzhou factions were also greatly suppressed, and Shu maintained the dominance of the Jingxiang family in the Zhuge Liang era.
But the political struggle of the faction has never ended, in the post-Zhuge Liang era, the faction dominated by geopolitics has been greatly weakened, these new generations born after the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty do not have the kind of bloodline concept of their fathers, they pay more attention to the division of factions by political ideas, Jiang Wei of the main battle has become a representative of the hawks, they hold the main military power, occupy a dominant position in the political arena of Shu, Fan Jian, Zhang Shao and others belong to this faction.
Zhuge Zhan, who was recently appointed as the protector and guard general of the Central Capital, was considered to be a person who could compete with Jiang Wei, because of Zhuge Liang's popularity in Shuzhong, his son Zhuge Zhan showed an aggressive posture after entering the cabinet, and formed a dovish alliance with Dong Ju and Guanglu Doctor Qian Zhou, who were also Lu Shangshushi, opposing Jiang Wei's policy of recklessness and recuperation, and cultivating national strength.
The political struggle was originally a contest between the tip of the needle and Mai Mang, and with the consistent principle that I support what you oppose and I oppose what you support, the easier thing for the clan throne that has nothing to do with them has nothing to do with it makes them fight for it.
Liu Chan, who had no choice but to announce his retreat from the court, and the ministers in the court constrained each other, and Liu Chan could only ask Huang Hao for advice.
Huang Hao was also a little eunuch at first, and when Dong Yun was in charge, he often made direct admonitions, which made Liu Chan unhappy. Huang Hao is good at drilling camps, doing what he likes, serving Liu Chan comfortably, and since then, he has become the most favored eunuch around Liu Chan, and concurrently serves as the captain of the car and the middle attendant. Liu Chan was powerless against the factional dispute between the ministers of the DPRK and China, and gradually began to rely on Huang Hao, from the initial listening to the adoption to the later obedience, Huang Hao also gradually moved from behind the scenes to the foreground.
But Huang Hao is quite a city government, good at scheming, secretly forming party members, playing with power, and hiding Liu Chan from all over the world. Huang Hao is determined to support the emerging king Liu Xun, and he must suppress the faction of Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, since Liu Yin and Liu Chen are very close, Huang Hao naturally regards Liu Yin as a potential danger.
So when Liu Chan consulted Huang Hao, Huang Hao naturally opposed the translocation.
Liu Chan listened to Huang Hao's words, so he adopted the proposal of Zhuge Zhan and others, but Liu Chan was still a little jealous of this short-tempered younger brother and sister.
"Brother and sister, Wen Xuan and Wen He are both my nephews, this palm is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, and it is difficult for you to make me choose." Liu Chan looked helpless, turned back to Liu Yin and said, "Wenxuan, what do you think of me?" ”
Liu Yin knew that since Liu Chan had made a decision, it was impossible to change it easily, not to mention that he was not uncommon to be the king of Anping, and when he saw Liu Chan ask him, he said: "Uncle Huang, Brother Ji and I are the heirs of the same father and prince, and it is the same who will inherit the throne. ”
Princess Ma was anxious when she heard this, she was struggling, but Liu Yin took the initiative to back down, isn't this a demolition?
"Yin'er, you-"
Liu Yin calmly said to his mother: "Mother, it doesn't matter who will be the king of Anping, the brothers are on the wall and in the same room, isn't it to become the laughing stock of the world?" The child is willing to let the virtuous, and the king of Anping will be done by his younger brother, and the family and talents will be prosperous. ”
Liu Chanle smiled and said, "Wenxuan is so knowledgeable, I am very relieved. In this way, I will make you the Marquis of Baling, and eat thousands of households. Liu Yin said this, it can be regarded as solving a big problem for Liu Chan, Liu Chan was happy, and immediately named Liu Yin as a liege. It may not be easy to be crowned king, but sealing the marquis is just a matter of Liu Chan's words.
Baling is near Chang'an, this Baling Marquis is naturally fictitious, most of the princes and marquis of Shu Han are fictitious, first, Yizhou land is limited, all sealed in Yizhou, I am afraid there is no land to seal, the second is that the fictitious seal is somewhat incentive, and so on that day, the world will be conquered, and the Han Dynasty will be restored, and the virtual will be turned into reality.
However, this is of no use to Liu Yin, he is not rare in the title of King Anping, and he is still a marquis? Liu Yin has greater expectations in his heart.
