125 Retreat
"It is difficult to live long under the name."
"If you love and hold favors and honors, you will be addicted to it and never return. If there is no human disaster, there will be disaster in heaven."
Liu Bei was the king's title. Retreat and prevent disasters was a temporary measure. Throughout history, only by going further in the past, the risk could be turned into safety and the danger could be turned into safety.
A single hair moves the whole body.
There are seven million people in Ji State, hundreds of young people in their families, thousands of Liu clan members of Lou Sang, and countless loyal ministers, all of whom are all tied to Liu Bei. This road has advancement but not retreat.
There is a difference between the former Han and the present Han.
It is precisely because of the existing patriarchal inheritance system that the throne will never be the turn of King Ji Liu Bei, Wang Fen, Cao Cao and others who took the risk and did not hesitate to cause chaos in the world. From top to bottom, the entire superstructure was destroyed.
Just like the story of Wang Mang's rebellion between the Han Dynasty.
The world is turbulent and the people are hungry. King Ji will not bear the current situation is so deteriorating. So Wang Fen and others acted secretly and forced King Ji to ascend to the throne.
There are many foolish monarchs, but it is difficult to find a wise monarch.
For the country and the country, the whole world and the people. If you kill yourself and achieve good deeds, who else can you do this?
To this day, whether to be an emperor is no longer a problem for Liu Bei alone.
At this moment, history finally deviated from its original track. From the arrival of Liu Bei Qilin, Ji Kingdom rose slowly. Everything was heading towards an unknown turning point.
The funeral period is not fixed. The state funeral is mostly completed within one month.
All parties bargained, and the candidate for succession was decided. His Majesty's funeral arrived as scheduled.
The coffin (coffin) displayed in the Nangong Jiade Hall was escorted out of the palace by the guards of Xiyuan. The princes, civil and military officials, envoys in Beijing, and relatives of Luoyang were all mourning and funerals. The people along the way burned incense on the road, knelt on the side of the road, and each shed tears. The funeral team was in a vast and powerful way to send His Majesty's coffin to the Wenling Funeral Palace. They returned after worship.
Your Majesty was posthumously named "Emperor Xiaoling", commonly known as Ling Emperor.
The Marquis of Hefei was still on the way. The throne was empty, and the three dukes and four governments discussed it. Empress Dowager Dou temporarily supervised the country from behind the curtain. Cheng Huang, the young mansion of Changle, personally climbed the second city of Qi, and was approved by King Ji. Yong'an Palace was temporarily the place where all officials paid a visit to discuss politics.
As for renaming Yong'an Palace to Changle Palace, King Ji did not promise.
Empress Dowager Dou is the Empress Dowager of the Palace. It is supposed to be the one who is behind the curtain. Empress Dowager Dong originally wanted to move to Yong'an, but she was behind the curtain with Empress Dowager Dou. She was dissuaded by Yang Biao, the young mansion of Yongle, and was kind to him. It was just a temporary solution, so why bother to fight for the length of a day?
Before Your Majesty died, he ordered the Gudun to order Song Dian to repair the Nangong. He also ordered Bi Lan to cast four bronze men in Canglong and Xuanwu Palace. He also cast four bells, all of which received two thousand hu and hung them in front of Yutang and Yuntai Hall.
Because he was in the West Garden, he saw something and thought of the beautiful king. His Majesty wanted to move to Nangong to live. However, before the palace was completed, the sage had already collapsed. The three dukes discussed with the (emperor) that the new emperor should live in Nangong. Empress Dong lived in Beigong. Empress He was honored as "Empress Lingsi" and moved to the West Palace to mourn (Note ①). He gave the title of the queen and the position of the queen Qiugong to the new queen.
The title of honor is also the title of emperor and empress. It is also known as posthumous title, temple name, and year name. The title of honor can be added to the living person, and can also be followed by the deceased.
"Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of Qin Shihuang": "My ministers and others would like to discuss with the doctor: 'In ancient times there was the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, and the Emperor of Thailand. The Emperor of Thailand was the most precious.'My ministers and others were obsessed with death and the king was the 'Emperor of Tai'... and they were chasing King Zhuangxiang as the 'Tai Emperor'."
When the Marquis of Hefei was called emperor, his wife should be the queen.
Therefore, there are "Empress Lingsi", "Empress Dowager Yongle", and "Empress Dowager" to show the distinction.
Yulinlang guarded the Hefei Hou family arrived safely in Beijing. He should be grateful to the late emperor (Emperor Ling) for passing the throne to him.
Before the throne ceremony, the whole family went to Wenling to worship the former emperor. A mother and a compatriot were separated by yin and yang. The mourning came from the heart. The accompanying people also felt the same.
Tomb sacrifice refers to sacrifices in front of the tomb. There are three types nowadays.
First, sacrifices in the ancestral halls were popular in the Han Dynasty. From the emperor to the people, from the emperor to the people, both men and women, they all went to the tombs of ancestors to worship. First, the emperor went to the tombs of emperors to worship. Second, the ministers went to the tombs of ministers to worship in other counties, and wrote letters to request a report, or received special imperial edicts from the court. Third, the subordinates, old officials and friends went to the tombs to worship teachers, chief officials, and friends. Fourth, worship the tombs of ancient sages. Fifth, the emperor went to the tombs of the emperor, and condemned the sects of the princes, nobles, and meritorious officials, or gave posthumous posthumous posthumous titles.
Second, sacrifice in front of the tomb. Wine and pour wine on the ground or weeds to remove.
Third, laying is set up in the tomb. Before and after Xinmang, laying is set up in the tomb. This custom in the Han Dynasty has become widely popular today. No matter how many tombs are buried together or how many generations have been buried, they only come with a set of laying tools. They are placed in the front hall or in front of the coffin, mainly for lacquered wooden square boxes, tables, ear cups, spoons, etc.
Get back to the point.
After the throne ceremony, the Marquis of Hefei succeeded as he wished. Before changing the reign, he still called "Zhongping" to commemorate the late emperor. The new emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the reign to pardon the world. However, the Marquis of Hefei first ascended the throne, and everything was reduced and exempted. Xiao Guicao followed. His Majesty was intact during his lifetime and was inherited. After he was removed, the Marquis of Hefei already had a wife.
In the sixth year of Zhongping in history, Your Majesty died. The Shao Emperor Liu Bian and Emperor Xian Liu Xie ascended the throne one after another, changing the year name three in a year. Therefore, in December, "the imperial edict was issued to eliminate Guangxi, Zhaoning, and Yonghan, and the third year of Zhongping was called the sixth year." A year later, the Yuan Dynasty was changed.
It can be seen that ascending the throne is not a must to change the era.
Everything is as determined by the previous emperor, and the prerequisite is to sit firmly.
Choose an auspicious day. The new emperor Ce granted the eldest son of the late emperor (Liu)bian as the crown prince and handed over to Empress Dowager Dou to raise him. Empress He was appointed as "Empress Lingsi" and moved to the west residence to mourn.
The four counties of Ji Wang were granted a title, and the Tiger Ben was given a title, and the other was given "swords and shoes to the palace, if you don't go to the court, if you don't go to the court, if you don't pay homage to the praises."
King Ji was like Xiao He's story, gathering three standard sets of powerful ministers, and since then it has been awe-inspiring the world.
Four new counties were added, and two prefecture ministers discussed with the court. The new emperor ascended the throne and moved to Nangong. At the end of October, Liu Bei submitted a letter to return to the country.
The new emperor tried to stay again and again. However, King Ji had decided to leave.
By the way, apart from Ce's title of crown prince, he was given the honor of Empress He. Only King Ji was the most rewarded. The Hou of Hefei was smart and clever. Naturally, he knew that the reason why he could inherit the throne was that King Ji was the most important. If King Ji had not been able to disagree with the public, he would have only a few words based on the records in the "Life Book" and only said a few words. Empress He and the General would not be willing to give up the throne.
King Ji became famous at a young age. Hefei Hou has been famous for a long time.
It is rare to be loyal and righteous, and to abide by the integrity of the ministers. You should be good at winning over and take it for yourself.
However, King Ji was as eager as an arrow to return home. He had no choice but to release him.
The new emperor asked privately: King Ji is not here, what should anyone take the opportunity to rebel?
Liu Bei replied: Your Majesty, don’t bother. The two palaces in the north and south are guarded by Hu Ben and Yu Linlang. The eight schools in the West Garden, Jian Shuo, Sun Jian and others are also loyal to Your Majesty. There are more than 10,000 generals of the cavalry, stationed in the northern army camp. There are 10,000 elite soldiers in the shogunate palace outside the city. Your Majesty can rest assured.
The new emperor asked again: Who can share my worries with King Ji?
King Ji also replied: Your Majesty should decide for himself in everything. If you encounter any trouble, you can send the Huangmen Order to Hanyuan and ask for advice from the two prefecture ministers.
There was nothing wrong with thinking before and after thinking about it. The new emperor then felt at ease.
He bid farewell to the new emperor. Liu Bei entered Yongle Palace again and said goodbye to Empress Dowager Dong.
I heard that Liu Bei returned to China and Empress Dowager Dong held a banquet for a farewell party.
General Dong Chong of the Cavalry and Yang Biao of the Young Mansion of Yongle were accompanied by the side seat.
During the death of the late emperor, he was able to control his diet and keep everything simple.
Empress Dowager Dong from the curtain used tea instead of wine to give Liu Bei farewell: "The king should return quickly when he goes here. Although Your Majesty has assumed the throne, the hearts of the court, inside and outside the court are volatile. The king needs to turn the tide."
"Since ancient times, there have been differences in close proximity. Your Majesty is the closest relative of the Empress Dowager. With Dong Biqi and Yang Shaofu assisted, he should be foolproof." Liu Bei raised his glass to greet him.
"When it comes to closeness and alienation, there is a difference." Queen Mother Dong said: "The king once made a good friend with the beautiful king. He was called brother and sister to each other. The noble son was young and ignorant, and he was afraid that he would be harmed by a traitor. The king would like to think of his adopted son and protect him in a complete manner."
