Chapter 411 The old county of Yuzhang

The emperor wanted to establish the newborn eldest son, but it was not opposed by the Shangshutai and the two governments, and it was successfully passed.

“Because there is a precedent.”

Yang Yun gnawed the Eastern Ling Gua, complaining that Yiwu Gua was not as sweet as the Western Regions. He was talking about what happened to the court recently with Zhang Chang, who had just finished his term as governor of Yangzhou.

"In the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao established his sons outside the Shangdongmen of Luoyang, and punished the white horses and joined forces. The sons, regardless of their age, were considered kings. Among them, Emperor Gao's youngest son, Liu Jian, was only more than a month old and was possessed by the censor. "

With this precedent, there will be no opposition in the procedure. After all, it is an unwritten rule that the princes were all named princes from Emperor Gaozu to Xiaowu. There will be such a day sooner or later.

There is only one type of prince: Prince!

The true crown prince is like Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaojing, and Emperor Xiaojing, have never experienced the status of a prince. Now Liu Xun has expedited the title of the eldest son to be crowned king in an urgent manner, so as to calm the court and the country, clearly show the position of the crown prince, and wait for the legitimate son born to the queen.

This move is indeed wonderful, and what is even better is the position it is sealed.

The world is unequal. Even the sons born by a father have a ranking of relatives and relatives in his father's heart.

For example, the thirteen princes and kings conferred by Emperor Xiaojing, Liu Pengzu, who was more favored, was King Zhao. Zhao was rich and located in the Central Plains, a perfect place. Others like Liu Sheng, who were not loved or distant, were placed in Zhongshan Kingdom.

The worst thing is the youngest son Liu Fa. Liu Fa's mother is just a lowly maid next to Cheng Ji. When Xiaojing was about to go to Cheng Ji, she was in her period, so she blew the candle and asked the maid to do it for her. Anyway, it was the same when the lights were turned off. Unexpectedly, it was the same when the hair was turned on, so she fell into her soul and was called Fa.

Because of this, Emperor Jing of Han almost never remembered having such a son. When he was appointed as king, he just pointed and sent him to Changsha, where Wu's descendants.

Compared with the Central Plains, Changsha was a poor and humid place. Liu Fa was smart. He deliberately showed his clumsiness when he returned to the court to celebrate Emperor Jing of Han's birthday. However, Zhang Xiu raised his hand and then apologized for guilt: "My country is small and narrow, and it is not enough to revolve."

Just one sentence made Emperor Jing of Han feel very distressed. After all, he was his own blood and generously divided Wuling County, Lingling County and Guiyang County into the jurisdiction of Changsha State, and was stripped of all the Han Dynasty.

And what about Yuzhang, who was conferred the eldest son of the emperor this time?

Zhang Chang, who had just returned from the Yangzhou Governor's Department, shook his head when he remembered that place: "It is similar to Changsha, and it is an ancient exile place!"

Yuzhang County was defeated by Guan Ying, the Marquis of Yingyin in the early Han Dynasty. He is the real hero of Kaigan!

However, this county has no sense of existence in the 130-year history of the Han Dynasty. It was just that Xiaowu destroyed Nanyue. During the Fujian and Yue, it played a role as a military strategist, and then became cold and silent again.

Although there are 50,000 or 60,000 households and a population of about 300,000, it is still regarded as a wild land by the Central Plains. The mountains are dense, and mountains often appear. The south of the Yangtze River is humid and hot, and there are insects in Pengze Lake. Most people in that area suffer from illness and die prematurely.

In the eyes of court officials, the so-called King Yuzhang is only so much better than the King of Dong'ou, who was just named a few years ago and the King of Minyue. In the eighteen counties in the county, only Nanchang, the capital can be called "Ling", and the rest are county magistrates.

The emperor was able to send the eldest son to Yuzhang, even if a country that was only a few years later was a sign that the eldest son was not loved by the emperor.

"But the more this happens, the more you can feel the heart of Huo. Your Majesty's move is extremely wonderful."

No wonder Huo Guang agreed to this matter happily. Zhang Chang said this, but found that Yang Yun looked at him and smiled.

"What did Ziyou laugh at?"

Yang Yun patted Zhang Chang on the shoulder: "Zigao should consider it for himself. If the country is enfeoffed, he will be appointed as the prime minister. If His Majesty has appointed the eldest son, he will definitely choose someone who is trustworthy and familiar with the south."

"And you have just returned from the position of governor of Yangzhou. Who else can you do as prime minister of Yuzhang?"

...

The day when the eldest son of the emperor was crowned as King Yuzhang was selected by historians, and it was set on the first day of the September 1st of the fourth year of the first month of the first month. The purpose of the country was to be a major event, and the title and salary were celebrated and rewarded, and the various ancestral temples were formed. Therefore, it was to be held in the Gao Temple.

On this day, the nine ministers and marquises had two thousand stones, and the emperor was wearing a solemn crown dress with a solemn look, while the little prince was a little uncooperated and left his mother. He was hugged by Honggong, Zhonghuangmen who was trusted by the emperor, and still cried and made a fuss.

But no matter how he cried, the ceremony was carried out in a straightforward manner.

Whenever the princes, ministers and officials are appointed, they will be ordered. The first step in the ordering ceremony is to grant the princes thatched soil.

"The Emperor Taishe took the five-color earth as the altar. Those who enfeoffed the princes took their land and gave them white thatch. Each of them used the color of the place where they enfeoffed them to establish the society in their country, so it was called receiving the thatch soil. According to the direction of the country where the country was enfeoffed, the colors of the thatch soil were also different. For example, the Central Plains were loess, the east was green soil, the west was white soil, the south was erotic soil, and the north was black soil.

When the ritual official took the thatched soil and brought it up with a bronze tripod, Liu Xun signaled the censor Du Yannian to read the book of destiny to the crying eldest son.

"Boy got rid of the disease and received Zi Chishe!

Liu Quji, but this is the name Liu Xun gave to his eldest son. It means the same as the disease. I just hope that he can grow up safely and wait until the day when he no longer needs a "hidden weapon".

"On September of the fourth year of Weibenshi, the emperor ordered the Censor Yannian Temple to establish Zihong as King Yuzhang."

"I said: In the play, I will get rid of my illness and receive this Chishe! I have inherited my ancestors' examinations and recorded the ancient Jianer country, and was granted the title of the southern land. In the world, it was the support of the Han Dynasty. It is south of the river and the border of Pengze. The person is careless. In the county of Yuzhang, the three generations must be submissive and not to be political. How can I think of the play? I respect my edicts and do not make any resentment, do not be virtuous, and do not be abolished. I will not follow the priests. In the play, I will protect the country and the people, and I will not respect it! The king warned him."

Du Yannian was thinking, and Liu Quji, the eldest son of Honggong, stopped crying. He looked at Du Yannian's shaking beard and his tone with curiousness, stretched out his tender little hand, as if he wanted to grab the close-to-face Ceshu.

All the ministers watched this scene, and Liu Xun was even more happy and shocked.

"Is this because Gao Temple has a spirit that makes my son understand this destiny?"

This scene made Liu Xun want to cry a little, and he just endured it with a ruthless and cold face. He really lost his composure that day, and he was sweating coldly afterwards. Only the more he neglected the Pingjun and his son, the safer they could be.

"Ruyi died in Zhao, Xiaowen was peaceful in China, and the same is true today!"

In the past, the sons of the high emperors and the sons who were granted good places were mostly harmed by Empress Lü, but the most remote Dai Wang Anhao was placed in a remote place, which was actually a good way to save his life.

At this time, Du Yannian finished reading the order, and the ceremony immediately entered the next process. The Great Honglu came forward with the map of Yuzhang County. All the princes and kings must have a certain ruling area or fiefs, so the enthronement must define their ruling scope and follow a procedure to inspect the map.

It is at this moment that a famous scene that can be recorded in history by historians and passed down through the ages has come!

The Great Honglu didn't care whether Liu Quji could understand it or not. How far he could see, so he spread out the map for him to see. Hong Gong also brought the eldest son over, thinking that he could touch the map.

Unexpectedly, the prince frowned, kicked his legs and started to cry again. He was careless and the cradle was wet, and a clear spring leaked out. The warm boy's urine just dripped on the map!

...

The eldest son of the emperor urinated on the map during the destiny ceremony, which became an interesting thing for the ministers in the Chang'an court. The doctors of the Five Classics had to grab their hair and explain what this meant.

Yang Yun was indeed right after guessing. Afterwards, Zhang Chang was quickly summoned by the emperor and proposed that he might be appointed as the Prime Minister of Yuzhang. The emperor rarely touched on personnel appointments, and just made a book for his son for the first time, and the general agreed.

Liu Xun comforted Zhang Chang as soon as he met: "Don't think that I want to abandon you from the barbarian land of the princes and move to the left-right official."

Although the vassal state prime minister was 2,000 stones, as early as the early Han Dynasty, talented ministers regarded this as demotion, so Jia Yi was a long-term official. Later, the officials of Liang State realized that they were free and died of depression.

After Xiaowu weakened the princes and established the "Left Official Rule", the court officials were even more ashamed of the left official. Dong Zhongshu was trapped by Gongsun Hong, who was also "Gongyang Chunqiu", and became the prime minister of Jiangdu and Jiaoxi. He was exiled from the court to the princes, which became a symbol of not being valued.

Liu Xun was afraid that Zhang Chang would have any ideas, so he smiled and said to him: "I named the eldest son of the emperor and Yuzhang, but not only appointed the king according to the convention, but also wanted to implement the opinions of the marquis of Xi'an in the past, and successively impart the feudal princes to the empty land in the south. The princes were indifferent to the wealth and honor of the Central Plains, and disliked the remote and humble heat in the south, and were afraid of being dissatisfied with it."

"Since this is the case, I will be granted the title of Zi Chishe and the title of Nantu. Please start with my eldest son!"
