One hundred and sixtieth chapters negotiated offense
"If a king with the same surname has a hat, he will be punished by death." [Zhou Li·Dianshi]
King Chen eventually died of his injuries, and Liu Miao and others wandered around Hangu Pass for several days, and finally waited for the order to continue their journey to Chen Kingdom.
When issuing this edict, the emperor specially summoned everyone in Chengming Hall, including Taiwei Liu Yu, to discuss how to handle the matter.
"King Chen's crime should be clearly punished as a warning to all kings. Even though his crime caused heavenly fire, the matter cannot stop there." The emperor looked around and asked: "Liu Miao is still waiting for the edict at Hangu Pass.
What do you have to say now?"
Cao Cao, the general of Chariot and Cavalry, was the first to say: "I think that since Liu Miao has gone on this trip, there is no reason to return halfway. What's more, although King Chen has passed away, his prince and concubines are still there. As long as he and the governor Liu Ai Duojia
Investigating the case may not yield anything."
It is true that no one should be held accountable for his death. Zongzheng, Liu Miao and others had already reached the halfway point and ordered them to come back without doing anything. The court was not satisfied with the matter. No one had any objections, but Sikong and Zhao Wen, who was the Minister of Records, spoke up.
Said: "The former Chen Prime Minister Xu Jian made many confessions after he was sent to Tingwei Prison. Regardless of King Chen's previous experience, there were many treasonous incidents after the death of Emperor Xiaoling. Now that King Chen has passed away, the court has decided what to do.
It seems that people like Liu Miao and others can send the funeral code to Chen State to make it known to the world."
What does "King Chen leave it alone for the time being"? Cao Cao seemed to have heard the implication of Zhao Wen. He did not refute it for a while because Zhao Wen had always been a close confidant of the emperor and the key force for the emperor to balance the situation in the court. People like Cao Cao usually took the lead.
, so it’s not obvious, but people who know him well know what Zhao Wen’s remarks mean in a great sense.
"What Sikong said is very good." Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to follow suit and said: "According to Tingwei's request, Xu Jun should be executed. His crime, King Chen's, is innocent. Even if he dies, he will not be exempted from investigation...
Before Liu Miao goes to Chen State to find out more reasons for the case, the imperial court can first decide on his funeral system so that both the government and the public can know it."
The death of princes and kings is naturally a mourning system for princes and kings. Zhao Wen, Xun Yu and others emphasized this, which actually denies Liu Chong's ability to mourn as King Chen. As for whether it is a funeral system for princes or common people, it depends on it.
How did everyone in Chengming Hall discuss it?
The emperor raised his eyes to look at the "new face" who appeared on the table for the first time, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you have also been Zongzheng. Is there any precedent for this matter with King Chen?"
Taiwei Liu Yu has always regarded Chengming Palace as his final destination, and now he has half-stepped in. Faced with the emperor's question, he hesitated for a moment, secretly guessing that Cao Cao and Xun Yu had the same position, and both demanded that Chen Yu be punished strictly.
Wang, is investigating a major case, but Zhao Wen seems to only want to stop it and not want to involve too much. This is consistent with Liu Yu's original intention and the holy intention he guessed based on Zhao Wen's words.
Thinking of this, and taking into account the emperor's reliance on the clan, Liu Yu felt that it was necessary to cultivate virtues, which could not only appease the hearts of vassal kings like King Langxie, but also comfort the feelings of clan members like Liu Miao, so he calmed down and slowly
Said: "In the past, the King of Chu secretly made prophecies and was suspected of treason. Soon after he was deposed and granted a state, he committed suicide and apologized. Because of his family ties, Emperor Xiaoming also sent Dr. Guanglu to offer sacrifices in the condolence temple and present funeral objects.
, gave the seals and ribbons to the princes, and buried him in Jing County with the homage of the princes... I think that although King Chen and His Majesty are estranged by blood, there are "Eight Pis" in the "Zhou Rites", the first one is the discussion of marriage, and the relationship is based on etiquette and affection.
, you can follow the example of the King of Chu, who sent Dr. Guanglu to offer sacrifices and gave seals and ribbons to the princes for burial."
Zhao Wen's expression suddenly changed a little. He didn't expect that Liu Yu would really dare to speak out. The best thing in this situation is not to say anything. Since there is no 'recording of the minister', why should he be so eager to put himself in that position?
In position?
Cao Cao immediately interjected: "This move can show your majesty's benevolence, and I second my opinion."
"Let Zhao Weisun, the official of Guanglu, be honored with the seal of the marquis and go to the Chen Guo Temple to offer sacrifices." The emperor did not express any opinions, nodded and agreed to Liu Yu's suggestion, and then said: "King Chen committed this treason and should have eliminated the country.
, when the imperial court conquered the Yuan family, he contributed military supplies with merit. Although his prince and his heirs could not be kings, his ancestral hall would not be destroyed. His title was succeeded by the emperor's eldest son Xi, and Wang Fu was selected to teach him in the chancery.
If you win the crown, you will become a vassal of Chen State."
This move can be regarded as solving the embarrassing situation of the emperor's eldest son Liu Xi. After adopting the collateral line, he no longer had the patriarchal advantage to pose a threat to the prince. Cao Cao and others did not dare to raise objections, not to mention that the emperor had already made a statement by not abolishing Chen Guo.
Tolerant, Liu Yu felt in his heart that he had said the right thing.
After King Chen's affairs came to an end for the time being, the emperor, after a long absence, came to the Pixiang Hall in Yeting. This was one of the earliest palaces renovated by Weiyang Palace in the early years of the emperor's rule. It was also the most exquisite palace in the past, housing the once-much-loved palace.
Beloved nobleman of Song Dynasty.
Standing at the door of Pixiang Hall, the emperor's steps were a little slow for a moment. He didn't know why his mood became very complicated, and he didn't know why he thought of coming here immediately when he decided to let his eldest son Liu Xi succeed King Chen. Pixiang Hall
The bright and lively music of the pipa sounded in Zhongzheng. The emperor stopped everyone's announcement and stood outside the door to listen for a while. He only heard two women inside playing the pipa and stopping to talk. They seemed to be discussing music theory with each other.
.
"Your pipa playing is getting better and better. It can be seen that it really depends on a person's talent. I have been learning this for many years, but I am still not as good as your skillful hands." Song Du's steady voice came through the door and window. She seemed to be the same as before.
It’s different: “It’s great to have you playing the pipa with me every day, and Ah Chen, he is becoming more and more lovable.”
"The eldest prince has always been popular, and there is no one in the palace who doesn't like him." The speaker has an excellent voice, and her clear and beautiful voice is as clear and beautiful as the sound of the pipa just now: "Just now, Mrs. Qu
Have you learned it? Please play it again, slave."
"No." Song Du suddenly said, with some inexplicable fluctuations in his tone: "Play that song."
The woman seemed to know Song Du's preferences and didn't say much. After a while, the sound of Qingyue pipa was heard. The tune was soft and there was a hint of lightness in the voice. It was like the clear water and blue sky in the south of the Yangtze River, and the endless lotus leaves rolled up and rolled into a green sea.
There are vaguely pink, bright red and plain white lotus flowers. Among the many lotus flowers, the graceful lotus picking girl walks through the lotus leaves and lotus flowers.
The boat under her feet was invisible, and the breeze blew through her skirt, as if she were a fairy swimming among the paddy fields.
The man sang in a voice that was lighter and more melodious than the sound of a pipa: "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lotus leaves are everywhere..."
The emperor stood aside and listened quietly, his thoughts became more serious. Unknowingly, he sighed, and with this sound, the sound of pipa in the palace suddenly stopped. Before the emperor could turn around and leave, he suddenly felt someone hugging him.
When he looked down at his legs, he saw a five or six-year-old, thin and frail child, looking up at him and smiling.
