The old emperor, therefore, the death of the old emperor, to Zhao Kuangyi, was like the clouds clearing and the sun finally clearing.

In private situations, he will not run away with joy, but he will feel comfortable and natural. In front of outsiders, he will burst into tears and break his heart.

When Zhao Kuangyi came, he naturally wanted to bring the Daxing Emperor Zi Gong back to Luoyang smoothly and securely. The purpose was the same as that of Li Shaoyou and others, but Zhao Kuangyi obviously wanted to take the lead in this important task, and the contradiction just happened.

it's here.

The two sides faced off in front of Luan Jia. Zhao Kuangyi frowned and said angrily to Li Shaoyou and Li Jian who led the crowd to stop him: "The Prime Minister has decided to follow the decision of the Guangzheng Palace and was dispatched by His Highness the Crown Prince to welcome the Daxing Emperor back to the capital. How dare you do this?"

What’s the purpose of blocking it?”

"I also have the handwriting of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the will of the Emperor Daxing. His mission is unquestionable! Why does Mr. Zhao want to interfere?" Li Shaoyou immediately refuted it.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Dong Shou, are you going to fight against the court's decision?"

Li Shaoyou's expression was equally indifferent, and his aura was even stronger. His eyes swept from Zhao Kuangyi to Ma Huaiyu beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to rob me?"

Seeing Li Shaoyou criticize him like this, Zhao Kuangyi's momentum immediately weakened, but he still refused to give in: "I dare not do anything offensive, for fear that Zi Palace will be damaged and others will take advantage of me!"

"If there is a traitor, I will kill him first!" At this time, Li Jian, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth and rushed towards Zhao Kuangyi menacingly.

Facing Li Jian's emotionless gaze and noticing his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, Zhao Kuangyi knew in his heart that Zi Palace could not be fought over. Not to mention that it was impossible to take it by force, even if he did it,

How can he be the opponent of these big inner guards?

Taking a step back, although Ma Huaiyu next to him is the prince's confidant, even though he is accompanying him, he will never risk it for him. Moreover, the old emperor treated Ma Huaiyu like a son and would never allow anyone to collide and offend Zi Gong. Just look at this.

You can tell by Shi Ma Huaiyu's increasingly ugly expression.

He took a deep breath and was about to find an excuse to go downhill when he saw Ma Huaiyu step forward. He knelt on his knees and prostrated himself on the ground. He walked towards the direction of Zi Palace and worshiped with a tearful voice: "Ma Huaiyu, the envoy of the capital of Gyeonggi Province, is in command."

, please clear the way for Emperor Daxing!"

Li Shaoyou silently examined Ma Huaiyu, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

After hearing this, Ma Huaiyu bowed again. After getting up, he did not say hello to Zhao Kuangyi, but turned around to arrange for his subordinates. Although Zhao Kuangyi felt embarrassed, he got off the donkey, turned around and left, and went to the front to lead the way.

However, I still couldn't help but look in the direction of Luan Jia. Two emperors and grandsons, one on the left and one on the right, were sitting on the shaft of the car with solemn expressions. Inside the Luan Jia was the Zi Palace.

"What a pity!" Zhao Kuangyi thought to himself.

"Your Majesty has just gone, but some people can't sit still!" Li Jian said with suppressed anger, looking at Zhao Kuangyi's back from behind.

When Li Shaoyou heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed sadly: "You and I, just stand on the last guard duty for His Majesty!"

It is sad to say that no matter how powerful and great the old emperor was during his lifetime, and how he preached the Constitution of Heaven and kept his word, once a person dies, his body is just a precious political resource in the eyes of some people.

.

Of course, this is unavoidable. It is too common for people to die and their government to rest, and for people to leave their tea to cool down. However, in the long history, even the most upright emperors cannot escape this desolation.

On the journey from Juancheng to the west, there was nothing to cover up. Li Shaoyou ordered that the camp be changed to white flags, erect white streamers, and everyone should wear plain clothes and white scarves. At the same time, the news of the emperor's death spread thoroughly.

, from the Central Plains to all directions, all borders, and even overseas.

The strongest response was undoubtedly from the two capitals, not only because they were the political and economic centers of the Han Dynasty, but also because the old emperor's supreme prestige was at play.

Although most of the people in the two capitals are far away from the old emperor, most of them spent the best years of their lives under the rule of the old emperor. Compared with people in the world, they are closest to the old emperor. The old emperor is here

The sanctification among scholars and common people is also real.

Even when Li Longji returned to the capital in his later years, the scholars and common people welcomed him with tears, not to mention the influence that the Bund Emperor Liu, who was "just at the right time", had on the scholars and people in the capital.

On July 21, the 30th year of Kaibao's reign, Zi Gong arrived in Xijing. After hearing the news, the people of Luoyang rushed to worship and kowtowed. For a time, the whole city was in a state of silence, with loud cries and sobs that lasted for several days.

.

With the return of Zi Palace to the capital, managing national mourning has obviously become a top priority for the Han Dynasty. The mourning hall was set up in the Qianqiu Hall of Ziwei City. Just like the old emperor in his early years, with the support of the ministers, the crown prince Liu Yang succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin.

.

Compared with forty-five years ago, although there were some intrigues, Liu Yang's rise to power was much smoother. This is very important for today's Han Empire. In the transition stage of power, stability is paramount.

But perhaps it was during this transitional stage that some restrictions and confrontations that Liu Yang had never felt deeply before were also coming to him.

First of all, regarding the issue of the temple and posthumous titles of Emperor Daxing, no one thought that this would cause huge controversy within the imperial court.

Many people quoted the classics and talked about it, thinking that it would be appropriate to give the Daxing Emperor the temple name Taizong. Around this point, many people came to argue, and those who supported it could find countless arguments from classics, history, and old systems.

Those who oppose it believe that the merits of Emperor Daxing far exceed those of the previous Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he was given a more distinguished temple title.

This kind of controversy is not without trouble for Liu Yang, who has just ascended the throne. He is not a weak emperor who can be bullied. He knows the root cause of the disputes among the ministers.

The old emperor suppressed him too hard in the past, but now he has begun to rebound. However, for Liu Yang, such "confrontation" is absolutely intolerable. If he dares to think about the title of Emperor Daxing, has he considered the new emperor?

Do you feel that you take him as the new king seriously, or is this a kind of temptation or even a declaration of war?

Chui Gong Hall, in front of the coffin, after he succeeded to the throne, the new king Liu Yang moved in. Of course, the main activity place is still in Qianqiu Hall. Here, it is only for a short rest and eating. Of course, the food is clear soup and little water.

of.

At the same time, he reviewed some official memorials. Although the national funeral was a major event, the most basic operation of the court still had to be maintained. In this regard, for Liu Yang, it was just a change of status. The name of the approval was changed from prince to emperor.

.

However, after a few days, Liu Yang was visibly thin and exhausted. While drinking porridge, he was looking through the memorials. When he saw a memorial, he slapped it on the case hard, scaring the waiters around him. The two ministers jumped.

The two people around him, one is Xu Shilian and the other Wang Dan, are now temporarily designated as cabinet bachelors and serve in front of the imperial court. Needless to say, Xu Shilian and Wang Dan are the sons of the late prime minister Wang You.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Seeing Liu Yang losing his composure, the two men immediately held up their hands to persuade him.

The memorials Liu Yang looked through were all about conferring honorary titles on Emperor Daxing. Apparently some of the contents aroused strong dissatisfaction among the new emperor.

Sejong? Fortunately some people dared to bring it up!

Liu Yang had a serious expression on his face. He stood up and walked around. After thinking for a long time, he calmly asked Xu and Wang Erchen: "Isn't the merit of the late emperor not enough to call him an ancestor?"

Hearing this, Xu Shilian seemed to have figured out Liu Yang's psychology. He immediately handed over his hand and said sternly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is really disrespectful to the Daxing Emperor to allow your ministers to discuss titles. I hope that your Majesty will act arbitrarily. Let’s put the final word to rest and put an end to the controversy!”

Liu Yang glanced at Xu Shilian, said nothing, and turned to Wang Dan. Upon seeing this, Wang Dan bowed calmly: "I also believe that your Majesty must issue an edict!"

After Liu Yang returned to the court, he continued to look through the memorials, but this time he quickly focused on the identities of those who submitted the memorials, and remembered all the names of those who did not agree with him, especially those who spoke fiercely. .

On the same day, Li Fang, who returned to Beijing to serve as Taichang Qing and Shanling Envoy, came forward and gave him the title of Zhao Ji Qi Yun Li Ji Sheng Gong Su Wen Wu Ying De Xiao Emperor, and the temple name Shizu.

The new emperor Liu Yang's edict is accurate, and the debate will stop!

Starting from the title of Emperor Daxing, Liu Yang also officially entered a new role and identity. There was only half a step between the prince and the emperor, but from the time he succeeded to the throne, he felt the huge difference between the half step and the prince. Different places.
