In the scene where everyone was convinced, Liu Bei did not pause.
He felt it, and he was satisfied with it, but he did not stop. He did not even look at the small officials and officials who were bowing to him. His eyes were directed in one direction - the main hall of Chongde Hall.
direction.
There, it will soon belong to him.
But he had an inexplicable feeling of unreality.
Why do you feel this way?
In this way, he became an emperor? He became the master of a country? He became the master of this era?
Is this what he is pursuing?
Obviously, no, being an emperor or not is not the most important thing. Having this title is not actually what he pursues, but what he pursues may really need the title of emperor to realize and consolidate.
Therefore, Liu Bei knew what he should do now.
Therefore, Liu Bei did not hesitate in his steps.
The generals of the main force behind him, the generals who had followed him all the way to fight, were all very excited, but they still had to maintain a stern look on their faces.
This is Liu Bei's request.
They must be majestic, cold, murderous, strong-willed, and always enterprising. Only in this way can they be his generals and his most powerful arms.
Therefore, no matter what, they must suppress their ecstasy, follow Liu Bei's footsteps, and become the person he expects. They must not disappoint him or embarrass him.
Among this group of people, Lu Bu stood out.
He didn't expect Liu Bei to call him at this time, but he was sincerely excited about it.
Because this means that he has finally entered Liu Bei's core military group. Being a general is no longer his end, and he can move further up.
This is not easy. At one time, he thought that he had no possibility of improvement, but now, he has this possibility again.
So he held his head high and his chest high, and followed Liu Bei forward with great vigour.
They followed Liu Bei step by step across the crowds of people, crossed the crowds of ministers and bowed their heads, and followed Liu Bei up the stairs. Then, at the entrance of the main hall, Liu Bei took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Xia Houyuan beside him.
Then he looked back at the generals with burning eyes.
"Wait for me here."
"only!"
The generals agreed in unison.
Afterwards, Liu Bei entered the main hall.
In the main hall, the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for Liu Bei. The old lady and Liu Xie were also waiting for Liu Bei. They gave Liu Bei enough time to show his presence, and then they looked forward to Liu Bei's further performance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Bei came to the front of the palace and saluted the old lady and the young emperor.
Afterwards, Liu Yu began to read out the second edict, which was the formal edict for the Zen throne.
This was also drafted by Liu Bei and Zhang Rang, and it was certified by Liu Bei himself and the old lady. It was a very formal edict on the Zen throne.
The tone is that of the young emperor Liu Xie. Of course, he has nothing to do with Liu Xie, but what he says here is basically the truth.
Although I, Liu Xiefu Qianbo, inherited the throne from my father, I have never been able to do anything for the country one day. Because I am young and cannot even govern, facing the critical moment of national crisis, I am not suitable as the emperor.
Although I have the ambition to lead the Han Empire to the top of the world, I was born at the wrong time. If I were ten years older, I would not have the current problems, causing General Liu Bei to bear the unjust injustice and be criticized by everyone.
Criticism.
This is not what I expected.
But what the Han Dynasty needs is a young and capable emperor to lead the way forward and maintain stability, rather than needing a young child like me to add too many variables.
Although the general is not willing, and I don't want the general to become a usurper who commits rebellion in the eyes of the conceited people, there is nothing that can be done about it.
General Liu Bei has profound blessings and outstanding abilities. He conquered the South and the North and ended the disputes, and made great contributions to the re-stabilization of the Han Dynasty. He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the number one contributor to the Han Dynasty. As the emperor, I have made countless contributions.
Ways to reward a great general.
Therefore, I respect the decision of the Empress Dowager and also believe that only by abdicating the throne to the general can we repay the general for his contribution in leading the world to prosperity and harmony.
Today, I will complete everything here and entrust the Han Dynasty to you deeply. I hope that you will take into account the hard work of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty in establishing their achievements and not let down Emperor Taizu Gao's common expectations for our descendants.
After the edict on the Zen throne was read out, Liu Yu walked down the steps, saluted Liu Bei, and then presented the edict with both hands.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his hands, took the edict from Liu Yu, and then faced Liu Xie and the old lady above him, saluting respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei, will definitely live up to the deep trust of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager, the hard work of our ancestors in establishing the foundation, and the common expectations of Emperor Taizu Gao for our descendants. He will do his best to maintain the country of the Han Dynasty.
Just to be safe!"
The beautiful words are loud and clear.
Deputy host Zhang Rang stepped forward at the right time and sang the salute at the top of his voice.
"Edict of the Emperor! The abdication ceremony has officially begun!"
Then formal ceremony officers appeared on both sides of the hall. They carried the emperor's clothes and accessories, and publicly helped Liu Bei take off his military uniform and put on the emperor's clothes and accessories.
At the same time, there was also a team of ceremonial officers serving the young emperor Liu Xie in the palace, helping him take off the emperor's clothes and accessories and put on the clothes and accessories of ordinary nobles.
Then, under the attention of everyone, Liu Xie went from top to bottom, and Liu Bei went from bottom to top.
The two are walking on two different paths.
When they reached the middle, Liu Bei looked at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had a straight face and suddenly winked at Liu Xie.
Liu Xie understood instantly, felt happy in his heart, grinned, and began to imagine a happy and relaxing life in the future.
No homework, no math questions, no exams, no extra classes, no harsh teachers, no staying up late at night to read.
There is only one happy child.
He really felt that he was so happy.
Because he really doesn’t know how to solve math problems!
Mathematics questions can’t lie. No matter how angry you are, you can’t do it! You’ve run out of calculation paper! You’ve run out of pen and ink! You’ve pulled out more than a dozen hairs! If you can’t do it, then you really can’t do it!
I can't do those math problems!!!
For countless nights, looking at those tricky and difficult mathematical problems, looking at the pale paper with only the word "solution" written on it, Liu Xie had the urge to grow up quickly and then order the complete destruction of mathematics as an emperor.
If you can't learn it, then just destroy it. There is no need for something that even the emperor can't learn to exist!
Liu Xie once imagined this.
But fortunately, now that he is free, he will no longer have to deal with math problems for the rest of his life.
This is what Liu Bei promised him.
A happy child, a child who no longer has to do math problems, he is free.
Under the main hall, some people who were close saw the smile on Liu Xie's face and were shocked.
For example, Lu Zhi saw it, and saw it really, Liu Xie really smiled, that smile was relaxed and sincere, not a forced smile, not an embarrassing fake smile, he really smiled, he smiled happily.
Damn it, is this little emperor a fool?
The position of emperor is gone, but you can still laugh?
What kind of ecstasy drug did his disciple give him?
This concession... was he really willing to do so?
Is there really such a thing in the world? Has the Han Dynasty, under the leadership of Liu Bei, returned to the state of returning to nature like that of the Three Generations of Ancient Times?
Lu Zhi couldn't understand this crazy world at all.
Zheng Xuan also saw it and was a little surprised, but looking at the figure going up from the bottom, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
There weren't many things that guy could do that a normal person could do, but he did them all, so maybe it was his unique ability that made Liu Xie smile and get down.
Zheng Xuan thought about it and felt that there was no need to be so entangled. Anyway, Liu Bei may have never been a normal person.
Liu Bei didn't know that he was already an abnormal person in Zheng Xuan's eyes, and he belonged to the type that would definitely be invested in a research center for abnormal humans, but even if he knew, he wouldn't worry, because...
He is the emperor.
Who dares to throw the emperor into a research center for abnormal humans?
Looking at the emperor's throne in front of him, Liu Bei did not have much psychological fluctuations. He first turned to Mrs. Dong's position and bowed to Mrs. Dong. Mrs. Dong nodded slightly, did not move, and could not move. She was already very tired.
.
Then, Liu Bei turned around and faced His Highness and his ministers.
He looked at those pairs of eyes with unknown meaning, and from these eyes, he saw the future of himself and this empire.
He waved his hand to let the general waiting outside the palace enter, and then glanced at Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang understood.
Liu Bei waved his sleeves and slowly sat on the emperor's throne. He sat upright, with a rigorous posture and a solemn face.
The moment he sat down, Zhang Rang took a few steps forward and began to sing a salute. The ministers then bowed down and shouted long live to Liu Beishan in the hall. His Highness Liu Xie also bowed down together and shouted long live to Liu Beishan.
, to show submission.
This is true for the people in the palace, and the same is true for the people outside the palace. They can't see Liu Bei, but they know what they should do -
Bow down, may the mountain call long live.
The shouts of long live echoed from far to near, resounding through the sky. Liu Bei couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the moment of supreme glory.
At this moment, Liu Bei could almost understand the feelings of the cheap ancestor Liu Bang.
It turns out that being an emperor is really a pleasant thing.
The feeling of surrender to everyone can really stimulate the most primitive desire to conquer in a man's heart and the pleasure brought by satisfying the desire to conquer.
This kind of pleasure made Liu Bei feel elated and he was extremely satisfied as never before.
Although this is not something he deliberately pursues, at this point, even if he can enjoy it a little, what's wrong with it?
After a burst of elegant music and the sound of drums and horns, this concise and clear abdication ceremony and enthronement ceremony almost came to an end.
Subsequently, Liu Bei began to read out a series of edicts in the name of the new emperor that he would need to issue after he ascended the throne.
First of all, he confirmed that the Empress Dowager Dong still had the status of the Empress Dowager. The reason was that [the Empress Dowager treated him like a family member], so even though the emperor changed, the Empress Dowager was still the Empress Dowager, and her status was still honorable.
will not change.
This was the first edict issued by Liu Bei after he ascended the throne, and it did not go beyond people's expectations.
So this edict was quickly implemented.
Followed by the second edict, Liu Bei made Liu Xie the Marquis of Anguo County, allowing Liu Xie to return to the place where his father Liu Hong was born and lived, become a nobleman with a higher status than his father, and enjoy honors.
Hereditary and replacement.
With the first two edicts, Liu Bei solved the problems of the original royal family.
Then came the third decree, Liu Bei honored his mother as the empress dowager.
The fourth edict ordered Liu Bei to make his wife Han Ning the queen.
In the fifth edict, Liu Bei made his eldest son Liu Shen the crown prince.
Three consecutive decrees clarified the basic components of the royal family, allowing a new generation of royal families to make their debut. This was not beyond everyone's expectations, and in everyone's eyes, it was reasonable.
Then, Liu Bei's mother, Han Ning and Liu Shen all appeared in the hall. They were dressed in royal attire and arrived at the hall under the guidance of the etiquette officers and chamberlains.
Liu Bei walked down the hall, honoring his mother with one hand, holding his wife with the other, and followed his son behind him. The family of four climbed onto the main hall together and completed their appearance in front of the officials.
The new generation of core members of the royal family of the Han Empire thus entered the stage of history.
After completing the appearance of the core members of the royal family, Liu Bei began to issue political decrees, mainly rewards.
When a new king ascends the throne, he needs to seal the throne to appease people's hearts, reward meritorious ministers, etc.
Liu Bang needed to divide the heroes, and Liu Xiu also needed to make many concessions to the heroes. These were objective compromises that had to be made under the circumstances at that time.
But Liu Bei doesn't seem to have to do this.
For the people of Liu Bei's period, the people who really promoted this regime change were a group of sinners. Without the whims of that group of sinners and their stupid decisions, Liu Bei would not have ascended the throne and become emperor so quickly.
On the contrary, the other core subordinates were in a state of complete obedience during this matter. Without Liu Bei's orders and command, they could not accomplish anything.
They are not Liu Bei's partners in the true sense, but are all Liu Bei's subordinates in the true sense.
They have some credit, but they are not as partners everywhere as they were when Liu Xiu ascended the throne. The partnership status of the Second Empire of the Han Dynasty did not extend to the Third Empire.
Fundamentally speaking, his ability to be emperor relied on his own talents. On the contrary, his subordinates had many things to rely on Liu Bei. Many of them were even pulled out of the quagmire by Liu Bei. They relied purely on Liu Bei to get out of the quagmire, and they were considered benefactors.
Moreover, Liu Bei decided to plan this incident from beginning to end. He even solved most of the problems by himself. All his subordinates had to do was follow his orders.
When Liu Bei officially became emperor, he had already been the de facto emperor for several years.
partner?
There may have been some partners in the past. During the Liangzhou period, Liu Bei still had some partners. However, as Liu Bei became more powerful and his military exploits became more powerful, the foundation of such partnerships has disappeared.
Even the first few big families that invested in Liu Bei now dare not call themselves partners. Therefore, the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty has no partners.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bei did not need to transfer his power to anyone and then create a new ruling group. He only needed to formally establish his absolute political authority and lead the entire court by himself, which was enough.
In the awarding ceremony of this enthronement ceremony, those who cooperated with Liu Bei in completing this regime change received promotions in titles, increases in food, financial rewards, and land grants.
There were also some people who received gifts of houses, or hard currency rewards such as salt and Shu Brocade. Other than that, no one received any promotion in position or power because of this coup.
This is actually not difficult to understand, because before Liu Bei came to power, the opponents no longer had real power, especially the real power of the central court, which was basically controlled by Liu Bei. The opponents only had names but no real power.
In this case, before Liu Bei ascended the throne, the political ecology of the Luoyang court was stable, and those who held the real power were his subordinates.
After he ascended the throne and wiped out those insects, the positions of middle and high-level political officials were still the same. Below were some middle- and low-level officials who were implicated because of Zheng Tai and Dong Chong. The gap in the official staff did not need to be raised on this occasion.
Do you want Liu Bei to personally announce at the coronation ceremony that someone is promoted to the rank of Shangshutai?
This is an unnecessary matter, and it can be left to the personnel department to handle it in accordance with the rules and regulations.
The emperor only needs to do more important things.
