[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

The winter in Yecheng is icy and snowy, and walking on the road is bone-chilling. After the first snowfall, the thick snow on the ground has not melted. However, amidst the silvery eyes, there is a rare bustle inside and outside the city.

The Son of Heaven personally issued an edict to the throne of Zen, and the backbone of Ye City was about to become the new Son of Heaven. The entire Ye City was immersed in excitement, even the little Emperor himself was no exception.

He has been the puppet emperor for so many years, and finally he can get rid of this status. He is so happy that he can't wait to get drunk, but it's a little early to be happy now. Yuan Qing's family has not agreed yet. Take it out and celebrate.

The Zen seat is a big deal, Liu Xie wrote the imperial edict with extraordinary performance, he doesn't need to worry about the next thing, the Taiwei and Yuan Qing's family will make arrangements for themselves, he just needs to wait for the Zen seat ceremony with peace of mind.

The little emperor happily waited for the day when the heavy burden would be unloaded. The ministers in Yecheng started their busy lives. Now it has been more than a thousand years since the ancestors lived in ancient times. No one can be sure whether there was abdication system at that time. There are also many people who suspect that Yao and Shun's abdication was fake, but Confucianism firmly believes in this system.

——The calendar of the sky is in your bow, let me hold it, the world is poor, and the sky will never end. 【1】

"The Analects of Confucius" and "Shangshu" mentioned the reality of the abdication of the ancient emperors more than once. The Confucianism headed by Confucius especially admired the abdication spirit of the sages.

In the records of Confucius, it is said that when Yao passed the throne to Shun, he said, "Shun, according to the arrangement of heaven, the throne of emperor will fall on you. Keep the righteous way, if all the people in the world fall into poverty and hardship, the salary that God gave you will come to an end."

Yao said this to Shun when he succeeded to the throne, and Shun told him the same thing when Yu succeeded to the throne. I didn’t have the chance to see it with my own eyes. I finally saw the abdication really happen in my lifetime.

It’s nothing to have no time to rest during the Chinese New Year. Sacrificing a few days of rest in exchange for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they will make a lot of money, right?

Look at the true feelings written by Your Majesty: In the past, Emperor Yao and Zen were located in Yu and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu.The mausoleum of the Han Dynasty was late, the world lost its order, and it descended to my knees. There was great chaos and fainting, the gangsters rebelled, and the universe was overturned.Lai Yuanqing's martial arts, it is difficult to save this place,...the calendar of heaven is in your hands, if you allow it to be held, the heavenly reward will last forever; the king will only obey the great gift, and offer it to all nations, so as to inherit the destiny of heaven. 【2】

Your Majesty is so serious, why do they have the nerve to feel tired?

After Yuan Huan changed the official system, except for the honorary position of Sangong, all other positions were replaced by people he promoted. Today, there is only one imperial court in the world. Although he is not yet the emperor, he is only short of that title.

After the emperor’s Zen edict was announced to the world, the ministers began to persuade him again and again. Liu Xie was so excited that he couldn’t sit still. No matter how cold the weather was, he couldn’t stop his enthusiasm for going out. After several days, he wrote another imperial edict after he came back. This one was not as obscure as the previous one. After posting it, even an illiterate old farmer could understand what he wrote.

He, Liu Xie, has been in power for many years, and he has never done anything practical for the people. He is really guilty of being an emperor.

He was also unlucky, he caught up with the chaos not long after he was born, and he is not easy to comment on the behavior of his father and grandfather as a junior. He doesn't need to say what the situation is, everyone knows it, so that when he goes underground to see his ancestors in a hundred years, there will be less time. He was beaten several times, so I won’t explain it in detail here.

In short, he was put on the throne by the old thief Dong Zhuo, and he struggled to give the last bit of life to the big man who was like a candle in the wind, but even if he continued, it would not be any better. When there is no sense of existence.

Those who are capable in the world live there, and those who win the hearts of the people are the real masters.

Looking up at the sky and observing the hearts of the people, he had to announce with regret that the luck of the Han Dynasty had come to an end. It just so happened that the heavens sent them the martial and virtuous Yuan Qing's family. The long-awaited Son of Destiny, God's will is clear, and anyone with long eyes can see what God means.

The world belongs to the people of the world. The opinions of the people on who can be the emperor are very important, and those with great powers live in it. Therefore, in ancient times, Emperor Yao did not pass the throne to his son for selfish reasons, but gave it to the more virtuous Shun. God, that is the ancient sages, the example for all of them.

Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun were well-known, and he was so envious. When the emperor could not protect the people, he could follow the example of the sages and give up his position to the truly virtuous.

Don't think that his Zen position is forced and helpless, he is happy.

His life was full of ups and downs, and he could not cling to the throne knowing that virtue was not worthy of him. It is a good thing for him to give up the throne now, and he will live up to the common people. Those who are dead wait until he is dead, and those who are alive come to him in person if they have opinions, and really come to him if they have the ability, don't talk nonsense.

When the little emperor wrote the first imperial edict, he quoted scriptures and classics, so there was a lot of literary talent. The second edict was not written for courtiers, but for the people of the world. There is no need for gorgeous rhetoric, how straightforward, how simple, how to write, and how to write eloquently It's even happier than the last one.

Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling passed away after committing crimes, leaving him and his elder brother Liu Bian to suffer in the world, and the elder brother even lost his life because of this. What happened to his strange words in the name of Zen?

If you have the ability to come back to life and trouble him, don't delay him from going to freedom if you don't come back from the dead.

After suffering for so many years, he finally got rid of it. Whoever blocks his way will be in a hurry with him. The rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry. Don't think that he is really easy to bully. If he is really in a hurry, he will immediately complain to Yuan Qing's family. Can't you find a capable person to be your thigh?

The little emperor issued two edicts one after another. Except for the wording, the content of the two edicts was almost the same. They all emphasized that the destiny was no longer in the Han Dynasty. He worshiped the reputation of Yao and Shun in ancient times, and actively and urgently gave up the throne to his Yuan Qing family.

This is a wise move for him to obey the destiny and cater to the people of the world. Unless the ancestors ran out of the imperial tomb to object, no one should want him to change his mind.

As soon as Liu Xie's reaction came out, those who originally had opinions couldn't say anything more. They never imagined that the little emperor could be so happy as the king of subjugation. After going through the whole Zen position process, they saw him jumping up and down excitedly, Is it reasonable to have no sorrow and resentment as a king of subjugation?

After all, he is also an emperor who is about to take the throne of Zen. Isn't it difficult to show a little sadness?

For the little emperor, it was really difficult.

He finally got rid of the hated emperor status, and it was too late to be happy, so how could he be sad, whoever loves sad is sad, anyway, he is not sad.

The throne of the Son of Heaven should have been a bit heavy, but the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie, seemed more excited than everyone else. In order not to be compared with the little emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government, one or two were also very motivated, and Yuan Huan had not agreed yet. "Your Majesty" has already been called.

Although none of them have ever seen the scene of three pushes and three yields, they have all read "The Analects of Confucius" and studied "Shangshu". They don't need to be urged to understand what to do. It took seven or eight rounds of three or four times of persuasion by the ministers.

The emperor of Han took the initiative to take the Zen seat, and the destiny cannot be violated, let alone the wishes of the people. Don't be humble, Your Majesty, and quickly summon all the civil and military officials to prepare for the Zen ceremony.

Zen abdication is a good system that has been handed down from the time of Yao and Shun to the present. It is God's will. Your Majesty hastened to call all the officials to arrange the construction of the altar for receiving meditation.

The weather is already warm. Building the Shrine Terrace is not forcing the people to do coolies. They have just released the news that they will build the Shrine Terrace. The people who come forward and want to contribute will be able to go around Ye City. Your Majesty is Destiny, your humility is a good virtue in normal times, but now it is against the sky, absolutely unacceptable.

According to the astronomical phenomena, the 24th of this month is suitable for receiving meditation. The ministers and others have built the platform for receiving meditation. The hearts of the people must not be violated. We risk our lives to persuade you to accept the abdication. Are you ready, Your Majesty?

The ministers took turns to bombard them, and every time they persuaded them to go in, the publicity was known all over the world, but the common people also booed, making Yuan Huan dumbfounded. A posture of public outrage.

Fortunately, the situation was still under control, and the people followed suit but did not add to the chaos. Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others personally took the sword, and the Zen throne ceremony was finally successfully held in late spring.

According to the theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues, the prosperity of the husband, emperor and king must first be seen by the heavens. 【3】

At the time of the Yellow Emperor, Heaven first saw the big gnats and mole, so the emperor said that the rustic air was superior, and his color was still yellow; At the time of Tang, Heaven first saw that the golden blade was born from water, so Shang Tang said that the energy of gold was superior, and its color was still white. , so its color is still red.

The five elements restrain each other, and the fate of the heavens shifts. When each dynasty rises, the sky will issue a notice. The five virtues will cycle and repeat. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he designated the virtues of the Qin Dynasty as water virtues.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, people's livelihood was poor, and there was no time to consider the issue of virtue. Deyun always adopted the statement of the prime minister Zhang Cang, regarded Han as the virtue of water, and did not recognize the orthodoxy of the Qin Dynasty. For Tude, the two factions have been arguing endlessly. Knowing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the calendar in the first year of Taichu, using the first month as the beginning of the year, and advocating yellow, this is the reason why the national destiny was designated as Tude.

For hundreds of years, the theory of the mutual generation of the five virtues has gradually replaced the mutual victory of the five virtues. In particular, Liu Xin, the son of Liu Xiang, in order to help Wang Mang usurp the power of the Han Dynasty, changed Zou Yan's theory of the five virtues beginning with the Yellow Emperor into In the evolution process starting with Fuxi, two ancient kings, Gonggong and Dizhi, were added to the new Five Virtues Continuity Theory, and a spare seat was added to accommodate the short-lived Qin Dynasty.

So the five elements became like this: Fuxi clan, Mude; Gonggong clan, Runyu; Yandi Shennong clan, Huode; Huangdi Xuanyuan clan, Tude; Shaohao Emperor Jintian clan, Jinde; Shui De; Emperor Ku Gaoxin, Mu De; Di Zhi, Runyu; Emperor Yao, Tao Tang, Huo De; Emperor Shun Youyu, Tu De; ; Zhou Wu, Mude; Qin, Runyu.

I don't know why he chose these monarchs. In short, after such a round of arrangement, the fortune of the Han Dynasty changed again.

According to the set of five virtues arranged by Liu Xin, the ancient virtues have gone through two cycles, and at that time they were already in the third cycle. According to the law of the five elements, the Han Dynasty will rise after the Zhou Dynasty. , should belong to Huode rather than Tude.

Whether the Tang-Wu Revolution can be included in the five virtues has already been debated for several rounds in the early Han Dynasty, and whether the Qin Dynasty can be included was also several rounds at that time, but the power of interpretation is only in the hands of those in power, they can explain how they want to explain, and no one else can say What.

In order to help Wang Mang usurp the throne reasonably, Liu Xin used his law of five elements to deduce that the dynasty that replaced Huode in the Han Dynasty should be Tude. Wang Mang believed that the Wang family came from Shun. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tang, the first ancestor of the Han family, had the image of passing on the country in the world, and I returned to my relatives and received gold policies from the spirit of Emperor Han Gao." It just so happens that Shun is Tude, and the logic makes sense. 【3】

Coincidentally, Wang Mang came up with such a new set of theories in order to usurp the throne in order to be justified, and they can also use it now.

——Wei Wang, the descendant of Emperor Yu, came from Emperor Ku.

Emperor Yu is Shun.

The Yuan family in Runan was a descendant of Yuan Taotu, a senior official in the state of Chen in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was also a descendant of Shun.

After Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he never really calmed down. He thought that the only difference between him and his eldest brother was his status. If he was the eldest son, he must have done better than his elder brother. Later, he gradually recognized his position. Slowly he came to think of it, but no matter how sober he was, he was stunned when he heard the news that the little emperor wanted a Zen seat.

The Zen position of the Son of Heaven, that is to say, their elder brother is about to become the next Son of Heaven?

Their Yuan family became the royal family?

Yuan Benchu's heartbeat quickened. I don't know whether it was excitement or fright. If the Yuan family in Runan really became the next royal family, why would he fight? He's just a younger brother.

The eldest brother is like a father, and there is an elder brother who is the emperor, Yuan Shu is nothing!

The ceremony of the Zen position is ready, and the cronies who were originally sent to various places as prefects have all arranged the affairs at hand and returned to Yecheng. There is a word called "Yaoling", which means that even if they are not ruling the land, as long as the official position does not change, No matter where people go, that area is still under their control.

The lord Shou Chan's ascension to the throne should not be missed. They are the cronies who have followed the lord all the way to fight the world, the cronies of the cronies, and they must be present when the lord Shou Chan ascends the throne.

Hehehe, the lord has been promoted, so shouldn't their cronies be promoted too?

Even if they can't be promoted, they must be rewarded with some gold and silver. They are not stealing money from their own homes. It is true that the academies around the world are too rich, so they don't feel at ease if they don't pick up more money.

For the time being, in the Central Plains, only popular education costs a lot, and other places around have to ensure food and grass for soldiers and horses.

Jingzhou and Yizhou are thriving, and Yangzhou and Jiaozhou have many mountain people. They don't want to go to war for the time being, but they won't be indifferent when those guys come out to provoke them. That is, they have no time to deal with them in the past few years. After a few years, the situation stabilizes. If you find the right opportunity, you have to drive out all the guys hiding in the mountains.

As long as people are here, they all have to be registered. The imperial court severely cracked down on black households, and it was against them to hide and hide one by one.

The clans in Jiangdong, like the clans in other places, need to be hit with a stick. These are not things that can be completed in a year or two. Take your time, and the situation will always develop in a good direction.

Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou left one to prevent the barbarians from making trouble, and the two fought fiercely for the place to go to Yecheng. People went to see the mayor of Yecheng.

Liangzhou is no match for other places. Gongsun Zan has a lot of prestige in Youzhou. Lu Bu just beat up the dishonest tribes in Bingzhou. There will be no chaos in those two states if there is no leader for a while. Chaos, no one left to guard, and when they come back from the Zen ceremony, Liangzhou will become someone else's in all likelihood.

But don't, they still hope that after the new emperor ascends the throne, the life of the people in Liangzhou will be better, and the people will live well. Only those who serve as soldiers can have more food, grass, and military pay. They are all grasshoppers on a rope, and the people will not get better Don't even think about it.

Ma Teng patted his chest in front of his sworn brother and promised that he would definitely bring him Yecheng local specialties when he came back, and that he would not be disappointed.

What are the local products of Yecheng?In addition to fine wine is gold and silver!

Gongsun Zan found confidence in the Ma Teng family who came from Xiliang. He originally felt that his identity was a bit embarrassing. They can't do anything for a while.

The strength of the Yuan family is great, and their Gongsun family is not far behind. It would be great to work together to defend against foreign enemies. He was single-minded in beating the barbarians in Liaodong. Why did he suddenly make such a big noise there without saying a word?

He didn't pay attention for a while, why did the opponent become like he couldn't beat him with all his strength?

Gongsun Zan thought about it all night in his general's mansion, and finally decided to join if he couldn't beat him. He had people from Youzhou who had been sent there a long time ago, and it didn't matter whether he joined or not. It would be great to be promoted to a higher rank, anyway, he shouldn't be treated too badly.

Even Lu Bu's two idiots are treated so well. He, Gongsun Bogui, needs strength and strength and strategy, so why can't he ask for good treatment?

A group of people came to Yecheng from various prefectures and counties, and the atmosphere was even more lively than those few days during the Chinese New Year.

Yuan Shu supervised the work of the craftsmen and gained experience, and took the initiative to shoulder the burden of building the Zen platform. It is a pity that Luoyang has not yet been rebuilt. Otherwise, it would be the most prestigious to go to Luoyang to receive Zen. No matter how prosperous Yecheng is, it is not as good as Luoyang in terms of heritage. city.

The sky is clear, the wind is pleasant, the bright sunlight penetrates into the room from the corridor, and the incense burner under the window sill is curling up with green smoke.

The mansion became busy early in the morning, or in other words, since the day of receiving meditation was settled, the mansion has not stopped. On the contrary, Yuan Huan, the person concerned, is the most calm. There are no cameras or national live broadcasts these days. In a big place, even if it is full of people, it will not be able to accommodate many people, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

As soon as the red sun jumped out of the horizon, Guo Jia rushed over anxiously, fearing that their lord would lose the chain at a critical moment, and personally watched him eat and drink medicine until the heavy and luxurious crown was worn on their lord, Only then did he have the mood to tease, "The lord wears this outfit and goes out, and the common people may really think that this is some kind of immortal king descending to earth."

"Feng Xiao." Yuan Huan glanced at him helplessly, and asked after tidying up the crown, "How is Jing'er, are you not nervous?"

"My lord, don't worry, the young master is very calm. Today is such a big day, and you two are as calm as a father and son." Guo Jia said with emotion, thinking that as expected of father and son, they are so unusual.

The emperor has twelve crowns, the crown board represents the roundness of the sky, and the twelve strings of jade rings represent the highest status of the emperor. The crown and clothes that are exclusive to the emperor add a bit of the emperor's majesty to the young people who are full of fairy spirit. Her eyes are as fine as jade, but her gestures are as sharp as a blade, which makes people unable to raise their charming thoughts.

Guo Fengxiao admired their lord's demeanor boldly, turned his head and ran out before going too far, because we don't want to quarrel today, the lord's clothes have been changed, and he hasn't changed his clothes yet.

Young Master Yuan Jing is rarely dressed solemnly, and at this moment he is solemnly telling a few cousins ​​to pay attention to later. Today is a big day for his father to receive Zen, so he can let go of the past for making troubles, but don’t blame him if he dares to make trouble today. Don't talk about brotherhood.

Yuan Yao nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and clenched his fists to show that he must be obedient.

He has such a good relationship with his cousin, doesn't he understand whether he is obedient or not? If an accident happens, it must be the fault of several other people, and it has nothing to do with him, Yuan Xiaoyao.

In the early morning light, the tiles on the meditation platform shone with soft light, and the geese were singing, and the sun was beginning to dawn, and it was an auspicious day, and it was really a good omen for God to give face like this.

The whole city of Ye was crowded with people, and the common people put on the most fashionable clothes and crowded into the city excitedly, wanting to see the new emperor's Luanjia passing by with their own eyes.

There are soldiers in full armor inside and outside the city. The golden armored soldiers on both sides of the road stand with halberds, blocking the crowd on both sides of the road. From the inner city street to the altar outside the city, both sides of the road are already full of excited people.

The sky was blue and cloudless. Surrounded by a crowd of civil, military and military soldiers, the emperor came out from the inner city. The morning light cast a layer of golden light on the new emperor who was about to receive Zen. Wherever he went, the people knelt down and the soldiers knelt down. Shouting long live the sound piercing the sky.

General Lu Da led the way on a tall horse, his brightly colored pheasant feathers gleamed in the sun, and his brand-new armor made him even more heroic. Behind him, Sun Ce and Cao Ang looked at his position eagerly, He beat Ma Chao, who was not yet familiar with him, and beat his chest together, only hating why he couldn't be born 20 years earlier.

Their armor and pheasant feathers are all ready, and BMW is not much worse than Chitu, just short of defeating Lu Bu to reach the pinnacle of life, why didn't the lord wait for them? It is not impossible for General Lu Da to get down, and then the three of them will open the way in front together.

If I had known today, I would regret it at the beginning~

What a waste of the beautiful feathers they specially prepared!

Xun Yu, Jushou and the others walked together, and caught a glimpse of several young men with pheasant feathers muttering together, turned around to look at their fathers, and found that the fathers were all standing in the line with solemn expressions, not paying attention at all. Seeing what the sons were doing, he had no choice but to tell Zhao Yun beside them to keep an eye on them.

The others were far away, only Zhao Zilong was young and handsome in silver armor, and standing with those boys would not violate harmony, so Zilong could only work harder.

Amidst the sound of ceremony and music, the low-pitched congratulations were mysterious and ethereal. All the civil and military officials walked to their positions one by one. Military flags were flying around the altar, and spears and halberds were shining coldly in the sun. Hold your breath.

Under the attention of all the people, the new emperor wearing the emperor's crown slowly climbed the steps. Tens of thousands of people poured countless enthusiasm into the magnificent altar. Emperor's tablet.

This link should have been held in the old Liu family ancestral temple. The little emperor summoned a group of ministers in his ancestral temple to issue an abdication edict to give up the jade seal. A greeting announcing the completion of the dynasty change.

It’s just that the ancestral temple of the old Liu’s family is in Luoyang. It’s not realistic to go all the way back to Luoyang to receive Zen. Rebuilding the city is not only costly but also time-consuming. Even if you want to move back to the old capital, it will be more than ten years later. When you get up, there is no need to go back to Luoyang.

The enthronement of the Zen throne is a major national event, and all of them cost a lot of money. It is just that the new emperor is sympathetic to the people and does not want to waste the people and money. The platform is built outside the city, and the Zen seat is used to worship the heaven, earth, sun and moon at the same time. One place has multiple functions, which shows how stingy the new emperor is to himself.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed more popular.

All the celebration ceremonies were omitted, and at most the part of the congratulations was left. There was only one palace in Yecheng, and there was no serious imperial palace. To move the capital, there is no need to come to two sets of palaces.

Only when he became a family did he realize that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Over the past few years, the treasury has paid more and less money. He is no longer a big landlord who can spend money at will. He has spare money to build a palace. He can replace the army with a new set of armor. , the world is determined to wait for prosperity, now is not the time to pay attention.

Liu Xie couldn't wait, and when everyone was in place, he went to the stage and read the reason for the Zen position aloud, and told the gods, hoping that the gods would bless the people, so that the next dynasty could enjoy the destiny forever.

Their family's destiny is over, Yuan Qing's family has just started, come on, Yuan Qing's family, you must be the best emperor ever!

The officials of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony were caught off guard by the sudden excitement of the little emperor, and immediately played music and danced after he finished speaking, trying to make all the officials not pay so much attention.

Yuan Huan helplessly asked the little emperor to calm down a bit, don't be so obvious, and then follow the singing and blessings to worship the main gods of all parties in turn. Even though he doesn't sweat much, it's still a bit stuffy right now.

Fortunately, the process can't be simplified any more, otherwise he might not be able to survive.

Liu Xie smiled brightly, resisting his excitement, he personally held the box containing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Yuan Qing's house who saved him from the fire and water, and showed a big smile to the person in front of him, relying on the fact that others could not see him from a distance.

Yu Yan covered his face and couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only hear the same gentle voice as before, "Your Majesty, don't mess around."

Yang Biao sighed silently, and stepped forward to open the box, "Your Majesty ascends the throne, Li Yuan will return, and the country will have its master. I would like to honor God's will and present the Jade Seal of the Kingdom."

When the voice fell to the ground, all the officials worshiped, and all the people bowed their heads.

A tall and straight figure stood against the light on the high platform, Yuan Huan took the jade seal and turned around, his eyes lightly swept over his subjects, "Now I accept Zen, and my country name is Dayu."
