When the west was still in the middle of the night, the east after Kunlun was already dawn.
Li Yuanyuan started to clean up early in the morning, and today, it is the funeral of the first emperor of the 'Liang Dynasty' - he died last night!
There is an old man next to Tang Chenying, 'Tang Hui' from Fengming Villa. Tang Hui is Tang Chenying's uncle, but because of his poor qualifications, he is only in the Jindan period, so he can only be used as a shopkeeper and deal with mundane affairs.
This time, because of the suddenness of the death of the first emperor, everyone had no time to prepare. Here in Fengming Villa, I only had time to inform Tang Hui in the imperial capital and let Tang Hui be in charge of the information of Fengming Villa.
At the moment, the personnel of Fengming Villa have not yet arrived, and only Tang Chenying is here. So Tang Hui notified Tang Chenying to come forward today. By the way, I also talked to Tang Chenying about the current situation, and let Li Yuanyuan, who was still a little confused next to her, understand our great Liang Dynasty!
The countries of Kunlun Continent, especially the countries in the central and eastern regions, are not called 'so-and-so countries', but 'so-and-so dynasties'. For example, the 'Liang Dynasty' in the east is 20,000 miles wide, which is still the area after shrinking. And the history of the Liang Dynasty is also as high as 10,000 years!
Such a huge country, such a country with such a long history, is already a symbol of the times. Just using the name of 'country' can no longer carry the glory of this country. Therefore, the great power of Kunlun Continent is named after 'a certain dynasty'.
However, the big countries also have the troubles of the big countries, such as the north of the Liang Dynasty, which has been invaded by the new power "Tiger Fang" that has risen in the last few hundred years, especially the important checkpoint in the north: the three counties of Youzhou.
The Tiger Fang, a tribe that rises in the white waters of Black Mountain and is good at controlling beasts, has a long history of existence, but has not had much contact with the outside world. But society always has to develop, and Hu Fang finally walked out slowly and grew rapidly in the oppression around him.
Today, the Tiger Fang has established a country, and the land is vast and wide! The name of the country is 'Tiger Fang'.
Tiger Fang is good at beast control, and its beast army is invincible. A hundred years ago, the Hu Fang and the Liang Dynasty fought a battle and captured the three most important counties in the north of the Liang Dynasty and Youzhou: Yanmen County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County. Having lost these three counties, the Liang Dynasty had no danger to defend in the north.
So much so that in the past 100 years, the tiger side has continued to march south, looting and burning, and the people of Youzhou in the north are miserable, and the north is in shambles.
In this way, the recovery of the north became the top priority of the Liang Dynasty. However, the Liang Dynasty, which had been established for thousands of years, was actually a little content with pleasure, with lax armaments, and domestic aristocrats and other entrenched entanglements, mutual constraints, and corruption.
A hundred years ago, a generation of emperors drove a personal expedition and died on the battlefield, and the new emperor ascended the throne at an early age, but last month he was assassinated again and was in danger. It wasn't until last night that I finally couldn't hold it anymore.
And this time, the reason why the imperial court suddenly attached importance to the 'non-mainstream' of the past such as the mountain villa was really because the power of the 'mainstream' was too much to use.
In the end, Tang Hui couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "The past two emperors were all promising kings......; Hey, don't talk about it. Anyway, when you arrive at the palace today, don't say anything, everything is with me. ”
By the time the three of them arrived at the palace, the palace was already crowded. The concubines, maids, and chamberlains of the first emperor cried together. Some ministers also cried symbolically.
However, Li Yuanyuan's eyes were rolling, the palace of the Liang Dynasty was a "city" at all, magnificent and atmospheric, with colorful light flowing in the sky and faint aura on the ground. Those palaces in the west of the Fertile Earth Continent are placed here, and it is estimated that they can only be regarded as a side hall in the palace.
Li Yuanyuan's eyes turned, and she suddenly found a 'familiar figure' among the courtiers. "Master, Gao Gaoshang, is the old man in front of him the great Confucian Zhu Kang?"
Tang Chenying glared at Li Yuanyuan and didn't speak: Little girl, don't be skinny today!
The sky is gradually getting brighter, but the atmosphere in the palace is becoming more and more solemn. The queen hung the curtain, and the officials stood solemnly. The emperor died suddenly, but he left too many problems.
For example, there is no eldest son!
This is a big deal! Because the first emperor did not appoint a crown prince until his death! Last night, he left in a hurry, and he did not leave any edicts.
The queen has nothing to come up with, but to choose from among the princes. Today, it is not only the funeral of the first emperor, but more importantly, the establishment of the new emperor.
The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the first emperor can mourn only after the new emperor ascends the throne. In this way, the stability of the country can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Especially since the North is still at war.
As the chamberlain shouted the beginning of the court meeting, the queen sobbed a few times behind the curtain, and then the queen said in a hoarse voice: "There is a way that the country cannot be without a king for a day, do you think, who can be the king and inherit the unification today?"
No one spoke.
The question of the throne has never been a simple matter. If you open your mouth randomly, you may lose yourself.
After waiting for a long time, the queen's tone was a little dissatisfied, "Prime Minister Zhu Kang, what do you say?"
Zhu Kang's beard trembled, but he was named, so he could only stand up helplessly: "Empress Qiyu, the old minister thinks that according to the principle of order between the old and the young, the eldest prince should be established." ”
When the queen heard this, she laughed, but immediately stopped her voice and said coldly: "The eldest prince went crazy in his early years of cultivation, and he is still bedridden!
Zhu Kang could only continue: "Then the eldest prince should be appointed as the king, and the four princes should be virtuous and ......."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Kang secretly said that it was bad and said the wrong thing!
Sure enough, when the queen heard this, she was furious: "The eldest prince and the fourth prince, aren't they all the sons of the mourning family!
But no, the queen is the 'mother of the world', and all the emperor's children must shout 'queen mother' when they see the queen. It doesn't matter if it's biological or not, but nominally they are all the queen's children!
Zhu Kang hurriedly apologized, but the four princes had no chance. can only recommend the next one, or in order according to the eldest and youngest, the recommended is the third prince - the second prince died early.
But the three princes ...... But not in Beijing. The third prince loves cultivation and has long been wandering. Then, naturally, the five princes also traveled.
The queen was a little angry, the old fox was obviously perfunctory. Otherwise, how can there be someone like you, counting from the eldest prince to the fifth prince one by one. So the queen said a little strangely: "Then ...... It should be the Sixth Prince, King Jian, right?"
At this time, Zhu Kang chuckled, and secretly said that it was not good! The greatest hobby of these six princes was eating, drinking, and having fun, and hobbies of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they sat down with hermits to talk about the Tao -- but they were all talking about the world and had nothing to do with the country anyway.
Zhu Kang stopped talking.
The queen was even more angry: "Prime Minister, the mourning family asked you!"
Zhu Kang gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted: "The queen can't, King Jian is frivolous, can't be the king!"
"Presumptuous!" the queen finally became angry.
Next to him, Zeng Shiming, the governor of the political council, rolled his eyes and spoke angrily: "The prime minister's remarks are shocking, I don't know what his intentions are!"
Zhu Kang's face turned pale instantly. He couldn't bear the big hat buttoned down.
The queen finally spoke coldly: "The first emperor once said that King Jian has a blessed life, and benevolence and filial piety, which is different from the kings! ”
Zeng Shiming immediately shouted: "The queen is wise!"
The people behind Zeng Shiming also immediately shouted: "The queen is wise." ”
Soon everyone agreed, only Zhu Kang and a few people around Zhu Kang stood alone in the court, extremely lonely.
About half an hour later, the six princes, King Jian, and Chen Minghan ascended the throne in front of the coffin of the first emperor and changed the name of the year to 'Jingwu'.
After ascending the throne, the six princes, okay, should be called the emperor, the emperor looked at Zhu Kang's gaze, which was very unkind. However, at the funeral, the emperor performed remarkably, personally supporting the coffin to send out of the imperial capital, crying a handful of snot and tears, and bringing the 'benevolence and filial piety' to the extreme.
But in the afternoon, the emperor summoned Zeng Shiming alone, and naturally it was Zhu Kang who asked. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the best way to establish authority is to get rid of the prime minister of the previous dynasty.
"However, Zhu Kang is a great Confucian! It's not easy to move!" the emperor also had his own worries.
Zeng Shiming smiled: "Your Majesty, leave it to me." ”
After leaving the palace, Zeng Shiming returned to the mansion and immediately got busy: "Go and invite Zhu Kang's little disciple Gao Shang." You're welcome. ”
After a while, his subordinates returned, not bringing Gao Shang, but a copy of the impeachment note. Zeng Shiming opened it and smiled, it actually listed Zhu Kang's twenty major sins, each of which was justified.
The first is to form a party! The second is to control the speech of the DPRK and China. The third is to promote cronies and cronyism......
After reading these twenty deadly sins, Zeng Shiming couldn't help but mock: "What a villain!"
After that, immediately re-enter the palace and meet the emperor.
