Chapter 337: The Father
As soon as the palace servants and Huang Men stepped out of Benhao Palace, Liu Kun followed and said: "Since the Lord has already arrived, he will enter the posthumous temple No. 2 according to the etiquette. Please discuss the matter in court."
Gu He took it and muttered: "The fruit of thinking is called Ming, the appointment of talents is called Ming, the collection of differences is called Ming, the beauty of content and meaning is called Ming, the internal governance and rationality is called Ming, the wisdom and clear principles are called Ming, so harmony
I think that the posthumous title should be Ming! Since the Lord is majestic, regulates the law, and lives in a large court, everyone is respectful, and those who are solemn are responsible for maintaining respect, so the Lord should be promoted to Suzong!"
To be honest, Gu He was talking nonsense. Regardless of the temple name or the posthumous title, they all promoted Sima Shao. The establishment of temple names and posthumous titles in the Western Han Dynasty was a very strict matter. The twelve emperors of the Western Han Dynasty only had one ancestor and four ancestors.
This shows that not all emperors are qualified to enter the temple, and
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation had changed. Although there were also some evil posthumous titles, such as the two emperors Huan and Ling, the temple names had become popular. All emperors were given temple names, and most of them were commendatory. Therefore, in the banquet,
None of the ministers were sincere in this regard, and they all kept saying good things.
Liu Kun nodded and said: "Since you all have no objections, the Lord shall be promoted to Emperor Xiaoming, with the temple name Suzong. As human ministers, we should prepare for the funeral. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Lord has no heirs after his death.
Please discuss with the princes today to establish a new leader."
Everyone is aware that the real drama is coming. Sima Shao has two younger brothers. One is Wang Chong of Donghai, who is sixteen years old this year, and the other is Wang Yu of Langya, who is only seven years old. No matter who succeeds the throne, these two are just
It's a transitional nature, and it's hard to put it bluntly.
, not even as good as Sima Shao. No matter how you say it, Sima Shao succeeded to the throne as an adult. He made some meager contributions to Dingding and Jiankang. He is not completely unknown among the scholars. So no one in the hall spoke for the time being. They are all thinking about you and see for yourself.
Let's do it.
Even Bian Yi didn't say much. Although he was determined to protect Sima Shao, he couldn't live up to his expectations and died suddenly in such a shameful way. He had no choice. All he could do was to try his best to protect the young master after he was deposed.
It's nothing more than his own life, leaving a legacy for the Sima family. It's not in vain for decades of friendship between master and minister.
After a moment, Nandun Wang Zong raised his hand and said: "Prime Minister, Donghai Wang Chong has been smart since he was a child, and he only thought he could succeed to the throne."
Liu Kun said without hesitation: "That's not right. The Princess of Donghai went to Qin State. How can Wang Chong of Donghai be the master?"
"Huh?" Wang Zong of Nanton was startled. He couldn't understand. When he was crying to Sima Shao just now, Liu Kun clearly instructed him to recommend Wang Chong of Donghai. Why did he change his tune now? Why did he still want to appoint Sima Yu?
Want to make a detour?
Nandun Wangzong was confused. He looked at Liu Kun in confusion, but Liu Kun curled his lips slightly. There was a bit of ridicule in this curl, and there was also a hint of murderous intent that was almost undetectable.
Quickly straightening his face, Liu Kun glanced at Xun Song meaningfully, and continued: "Although Qin is called a minister of Jin, it is actually the same as other countries. The Princess of Donghai abandoned Jin and left. Wang Chong of Donghai has lost the qualification to succeed. Now
Only Wang Yu of Langya can be supported, and Langya
Wang Yu of Ya is still young, so his mother must come to the court to take the throne. Mrs. Jianping will be the empress dowager. Everyone, please go with me and invite Wang Yu of Langya and the empress dowager to the coffin of Emperor Xiaoming to ascend the throne!" With that, Da Da said.
He waved his sleeves and walked out, and everyone followed him.
Since Zheng Achun and Sima Yu were keeping vigil for Sima Shao, they saved a lot of time. After a brief ceremony, Sima Yu became the third master of the Jin Dynasty since their migration to the south, while Zheng Achun became the first empress dowager.
But she understands that she, the empress dowager, will soon be ruined and will be compared with Zhao Ji, Zhao Feiyan, Jia Nanfeng and other demon empresses who confuse their masters and disrupt the government. However, what can be done? This is fate!
'Hey~~' After sighing faintly, Zheng Achun noticed from the corner of his eye that Sima Yu, who was only seven years old, showed a hint of excitement. Obviously, this child of his had only seen the infinite scenery of the emperor's throne.
But they don't understand the endless murderous intent hidden behind it.
'Senior brother promised not to hurt his life.' Zheng Achun reminded himself forcibly, and after a little peace of mind, he glanced at him and suggested: "The Lord is young, and the Ai family is a woman's family, and the state affairs must be relied on.
The princes took care of it, and the prime minister
Since the prime minister entered the court, the weather has been smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and he has made indispensable contributions to our great Jin Dynasty. In the opinion of the Ai family, Yu'er should respect the prime minister as his father to show respect." After saying that, he turned around and called: "Yu'er.
, why don’t you go and see your father-in-law quickly?”
Everyone looked at each other, and they all thought that Zheng Achun was doing this as a helpless move to preserve the Jin Dynasty according to the story of Ying Zhengshi Lu Buwei's fatherhood. Who knows, Zheng Achun's bottom line is just to keep Sima Yu alive, and there is not much more.
idea.
To everyone's surprise, Sima Yu said in a sweet voice: "I am the master of the people. Although the prime minister has a high and powerful position, he is still a minister. How is it that the minister in charge is his father?"
"This ungrateful thing! Anyone with the surname Sima is a piece of shit that cannot be helped!" Zheng Achun's pretty face turned red with anger and said angrily: "How brave! Why don't you go quickly? Do you want my mother to ask for a monk's advice?"
Sima Yu was still a little afraid of his mother, so he quickly came to Liu Kun reluctantly and bowed slightly: "Yu'er has met his father-in-law."
Liu Kun chuckled and dodged a little: "This is embarrassing for me, I can't afford it."
In just one or two breaths, Zheng Achun's heart was raised. She actually forgot to avoid suspicion and observed Liu Kun's every move without blinking. Fortunately, Liu Kun did not show the slightest bit of displeasure.
, as if he didn’t mind Sima Yu’s rude behavior.
But, is this really the case? Zheng Achun knew that he couldn't see that everything could only be based on Liu Kun's "guilt" towards himself.
Sighing secretly, Zheng Achun seemed a little distracted. At this time, Lu Ye bowed his hand to her: "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister successfully conquered the Murong tribe in Liaodong, freeing our country from the disadvantage of a weak national power due to Wang Dun's rebellion.
Regarding the situation, according to my opinion, the prime minister should be the Duke of Chu, and he should be awarded the Nine-Xi Special Ceremony to honor him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. It started in Cao Wei and became a common practice. It was a three-step process to plot to usurp the throne. The first step was to be granted the title of Duke, and the award of Jiuxi was the first step. The next step was to be granted the title of Yunfeng.
He was given the title of king, and finally hundreds of officials went to court to "persuade" the emperor to abdicate, and a new dynasty was established.
However, it is unlucky to have a country named Chu. At the end of the Warring States Period, Chu was destroyed by Qin. Now Qin and Chu are competing again. Can Chu defeat Qin?
The King of Nanton did not consider this. Instead, he was secretly happy. As the first king of the clan, he felt that Liu Kun could do his best by following the three steps step by step. How could he force this pair of orphans and widowers?
Isn’t it easy to persuade Emperor Xiaoming?
Nandun Wangzong then gave a salute: "The words are right and polite. The Prime Minister has made an indispensable contribution. He deserves this honor. Please, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will issue an order immediately."
"Hey~~" Liu Kun waved his hand: "How can I deserve this huge amount of merit? I have to mention this again in a hurry. The top priority is to stabilize the court as soon as possible."
