Red Mansions: The Sky-shaking Fall Chapter 1720 Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, transforming the Yuan Dynasty into a prosperous one
Chapter 1720 Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, transforming the Yuan Dynasty into a prosperous one
In the eighth year of Qiande's reign, on February 2, the dragon raised its head——
Palace Garden, Hanyuan Hall
After this sudden attack, the atmosphere in the palace fell into an unspeakable silence.
The civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty lined up under the three-story Dan Majesty, wearing red or green official robes, holding ivory and jade wats, and whispered to each other.
Chen Luo sat on a gold-plated chair with gilt embroidery, overlooking the scene, and didn't know what to feel in his heart.
What can he do?
While Chen Luo was speaking, he stood up and said in a clear voice: "I am tired. According to the opinions of the ministers, I will abdicate the throne to King Wei."
Now that things have come to this, what can he say?
In the eighth year of Qiande's reign, on February 2, Emperor Qiande of the Chen Han Dynasty issued an edict, telling his subjects that the king of Wei was virtuous, magnificent, and fulfilled the mandate of heaven.
Since then, after more than a hundred years, the Chen-Han royal family officially announced its end of life, and the throne was given to King Wei, thus establishing a new king.
Ningguo Mansion——
Jia Heng briefly discussed with the ministers in the palace for a while, then returned to the palace surrounded by a large number of royal guards. Wearing a robe embroidered with a python pattern of flames, he walked into the hall and looked not far away. Chen Xiao said softly: "Xiaoxiao."
"Have the ministers persuaded me to come in?" Chen Xiao turned around and asked loudly, turning his head with green silk hair like a waterfall, and under his emerald willow eyebrows, his clear and rainbow-like eyes were as bright as water.
Jia Heng asked: "Do you know?"
It is not surprising that Xiaoxiao is in charge of the Suzaku Guard and is aware of the court's movements.
Chen Xiao picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup with carved flowers in his hand, took a sip, and said in a somewhat calm tone: "The censor who is going to present the official speech today was given by me."
Jia Heng: "..."
Xiaoxiao, what's going on? Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with him before?
Jia Heng asked: "Why is it so sudden? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"It is best to make cooked rice from raw rice, otherwise you will say that the time is not right now." Chen Xiaojian raised his eyebrows, his eyes warm, and said: "Besides, it is not a good thing to continue to delay. Hesitation at home and abroad, There are many troubles, but if the situation is settled early, people will be at peace, and then a new dynasty can be reopened."
She has to give her a push in everything.
Jia Heng asked: "That's right. Now it's time to give in. We'll see what happens in two days."
That's how surrender is, three concessions and three concessions, now one concession and one concession, and there are still many "processes" to follow.
Chen Xiao glared at Jia Heng and said, "If this matter is settled earlier, I can see that your harem will cause a lot of trouble in the future because of the East Palace."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I haven't reached that position yet, how can I decide? Let's wait and see what happens."
Under Chen Xiaocui's beautiful willow eyebrows, her clear eyes as clear as water glanced at Jia Heng and asked: "Why don't you have a man yet?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "I'm also puzzled about this matter. I don't know the whole story."
He really didn't do it on purpose, maybe it was because the time hadn't come yet, so Keqing never had a man.
However, Holy Mother White Lotus is probably pregnant.
Chen Xiaocui's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and a look of worry flashed through her clear and bright eyes, and she said: "It is a way of causing chaos for a legitimate wife to have no male child at her knees."
Jia Heng said: "With me here, this matter is absolutely impossible."
Chen Xiao snorted lightly and said, "That's a bit too full of words."
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. In the next few days, the cabinet and civil and military ministers should persuade us to come in again."
Chen Xiao turned to ask: "Then what do you want to name the country? What is the year name?"
According to Jia Heng's title of feudal state, it should be named David, but Jia Heng obviously had his own ideas.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said loudly: "The name of the country is Xia, and it is changed to Yuan Shengding."
Chen Xiao tasted the name of the country mentioned by Jia Heng and said: "Xia? The country of Yangyang is called Huaxia. Such a country name has a beautiful meaning."
Jia Heng seemed to have something to say and said: "The family world begins in the summer, and one day, it may end in the summer."
Of course, that time should be the era of post-industrial civilization, and the constitutional monarchy implemented by his descendants can keep the Su family's country alive and prosperous forever.
Chen Xiao looked thoughtful on his pretty face and said: "The Kingdom of Xia is fine, but people at that time might not call it Daxia, but Huaxia."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It should be called Huaxia."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked: "What about the official system and uniforms of the new dynasty?"
Jia Heng said: "At the center, the cabinet is still in charge of all ministries and departments, and the level has been improved. As for the color of the clothes, it is still flame red, which means that the brave and loyal ministers are full of blood."
It is impossible for him to take drastic measures now to avoid the chaotic consequences of Wang Mang's system. Everything still depends on the smooth transition of power.
Wait for more than ten years, after he is firmly established on the throne, and then adjust according to the situation.
Chen Xiao nodded and said: "The new dynasty has a new atmosphere. Everyone can benefit from the establishment of the new dynasty, so that they can turn their hearts to you."
Jia Heng looked solemn and said with emotion: "Yes, not only civil servants, but also military generals will review their merits and reward them with titles, including four princes, eight princes, and twelve marquises."
These are his four beams and eight pillars, running to pacify the world.
Among the four kings, the Prince of Dongping, the Prince of Nan'an, the Prince of Xining, and the Prince of Beijing. Except for Xie Zaiyi, who was granted the title of Prince of Nan'an, the other vassal kings remained the same. This was the way to ensure the smooth transition of the court to the greatest extent.
As for other princes, both civil servants and military generals were granted the title of prince. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the title of prince was given to civil servants, but it could not be inherited for three generations. It was regarded as a title but no inheritance.
Chen Xiaodao: "Nowadays, almost all the civil servants, military officers and local governors in the imperial court have been replaced, which is enough to cope with today's complex situation."
In the next few days, just as Jia Heng thought, all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty once again went to Shu to ask King Wei to take charge of the destiny, but King Wei still refused.
A few days later, the civil and military ministers of the Han Dynasty gathered together again and insisted that King Wei ascend the throne.
Jia Heng once again went to court and refused, and this time he even stayed ill and thanked guests behind closed doors, as if he was determined to refuse.
The entire Shenjing City focused their attention on whether King Wei accepted the Zen throne of the Han Dynasty. The people in the capital kept discussing with each other and basically maintained a neutral and favorable attitude towards this matter.
Ningguo Mansion——
On the lively and noisy Ningrong Street, a large number of Beijing military generals and Han civil servants held banners and flags to greet each other on both sides of the street. Incense candles and firecrackers were fired on both sides of the street, making it look like they were beaming with joy.
Jia Heng was currently sitting in the hall of Ningguo Mansion, and in the huge courtyard, the generals from the Beijing camp were standing in darkness, all wearing military attaché robes with exquisite and intricate embroidery patterns.
"I also ask the prince to comply with the destiny, ascend the throne, and command all the nine states." The surrounding generals spoke one after another.
Jia Heng's handsome face was full of hesitation and embarrassment, and he said: "Everyone, I have received so much kindness from Emperor Sejongxian, how can I change my mind and stand on my own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty?"
Fan Yi cupped her hands and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Sejong Xian's sons are all incompetent because they have not cultivated their virtues. Some of them killed their fathers and caused rebellion, some of their roommates engaged in war, or some of them were surly and violent... They have lost the support of the people.
Since the prince has been in charge of the country, he has devoted himself to the country and the country, working hard and sleeping day and night. Emperor Sejong Xian knows everything under the sun, and with his pure and good character of loving the people like a son, he will pass the throne to the prince."
Jia Heng sighed and said: "Emperor Sejong Xianzong has the heart of serving the world for the common good. If he is here, maybe he will do the same."
Well, you really know how to say that if Emperor Chongping was still alive, he would scold the rebellious ministers and traitors and call on all the officials in the world to send troops to serve the king.
King Shuirong of Beijing also raised his handsome and fair face, cupped his hands and said: "King Wei, all the civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians are waiting outside, please ask King Wei to obey the people's hearts, take charge of the Jiuzhou State, and relieve the people of the world from hanging upside down.
"
Jia Heng was resolute, with a look of perplexity on his calm face, and said: "Everyone, how can I... hmm?"
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi couldn't help but take the yellow robe embroidered with golden dragon embroidery from the hands of the soldiers on the side, quickly came behind Jia Heng, draped it on Jia Heng's shoulders, immediately took two steps back, and walked towards
Jia Heng knelt down and asked.
"I have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Xie Zaiyi knelt down first and bowed to Jia Heng.
All of a sudden, a group of civil and military ministers urged him to come in, and the cry of "Long Live the Mountain" sounded, spreading inside and outside the palace.
Jia Heng was wearing a yellow dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns. All the civil and military officials around him knelt down and begged Jia Heng to ascend the throne and practice Zuo.
Jia Heng's voice was inevitably choked, and he said loudly: "Are you trying to put me in a position of disloyalty and injustice?"
When all the generals heard this, their cries were as loud as thunder, and they loudly said: "If the prince doesn't come out, what will happen to the people?"
"Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, the surrounding civil and military officials all shouted in unison towards the young man in the python suit.
Seeing this, Jia Heng closed his eyes, seemed to sigh, and said: "Everyone, why is this happening?"
Well, it is still in the process of being performed and cannot be changed yet.
"I also invite the prince to ascend the throne to rule the people of the world, rebuild a new dynasty, and create a prosperous age." All the surrounding generals knelt down, approached Jia Heng, and begged Jia Heng to ascend the throne.
Jia Heng spread his hands, at a loss, and said loudly: "You are so hard pressed against each other, why are you doing this?"
"Please also ask the prince to ascend the throne in order to calm the hearts of the people at home and abroad." All the surrounding military generals shouted in unison, and for a while, they were all talking, and their voices were heard in all directions.
It can be said that Jia Heng has no choice now.
Jia Heng's face was full of sadness, and he seemed to sigh a long time, and said: "How do you want me to face Emperor Sejongxian in a hundred years?"
Xie Zaiyi and Cai Quan held up Jia Heng's arms and said, "Your Majesty, if you plan for the sake of the people, Emperor Sejongxian will also praise you highly."
Jia Heng wanted to say more, but Xie Zaiyi and Cai Quan said: "Send the Holy Emperor Luan into the palace."
Jia Heng was almost carried out of the entire Ningguo Mansion.
Then, Jia Heng, surrounded by a group of generals wearing black armor, came out of Ningrong Street and marched toward the imperial city.
Palace Garden, Hanyuan Hall——
The guards in Jinyi, wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring swords hanging from their waists, led by Liu Jixian, stood holding swords under the eaves of the vermilion beams outside the palace. Their young and resolute faces were all filled with enthusiasm.
And the smile of anticipation.
"The Holy One is here."
At this moment, Liu Jixian stared at the vast crowd in the distance, his tiger eyes flashing fiercely, and his mind was still a little agitated.
The prince is finally going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Jia Heng has been in charge of Jinyi Mansion for more than ten years. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely use the generals and commanders of Jinyi Mansion.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Lin Ruhai, the second minister, Zhao Yi, and others looked at King Wei, who was slowly approaching surrounded by generals, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
Lin Ruhai's expression was a little dazed for a moment. With the change of dynasties, at a time when the world was at peace, King Wei could still be seen ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. It was really unbelievable.
However, this is also the result of more than ten years of accumulation.
"We have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The civil servants of the Han Dynasty quickly bowed to Jia Heng. The sound was heard in all directions. At this moment, his heart was a little surging.
With the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, King Wei became the hero of the generation.
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
Jia Heng's cold eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows glanced at the surrounding civil and military ministers. There seemed to be a look of helplessness on his face, and he said: "Please be free, gentlemen."
At this moment, when everyone saw that King Wei had agreed to come down, they were overjoyed and surrounded King Wei as they entered the palace.
Jia Heng stared at the golden chair and walked forward, feeling a little ups and downs in his heart.
As far as he is concerned, he has conquered the world and ruled all over the world. As of today, he has finally achieved what he wanted.
When you are an emperor, your family belongs to the world.
But a new challenge reappeared in front of him: how to lead the Han Dynasty to become an empire on which the "sun never sets" and become the most powerful country in Blue Star hundreds of years later.
Jia Heng quickly came to a golden chair and sat down. At this moment, he was wearing a light yellow dragon robe draped over a black and red satin embroidered python suit.
In the palace, all the civil and military ministers paid homage to Jia Heng with the courtesy of a minister.
"I have seen the Holy One, long live long live. Long live long live." All the civil and military ministers paid homage with great salutes, and the mountains shouted "Long live long live" and the sound shook the roof tiles.
Jia Heng listened to the cry of long live below and gently stroked the golden chairs on both sides. At this moment, he vaguely felt the state of mind of Emperor Chongping when he came to the world.
With feet on both sides of the galaxy, hands holding the sun and moon spinning.
After being stunned for a moment, he spoke in a magnetic voice: "I wish you all to be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, all the officials present stood up one after another, stood quietly, and listened respectfully to the holy teachings.
Jia Heng said: "I am looked upon by the world and directed by all the ministers. I control the mountains and rivers with my body, as if I were facing an abyss or walking on thin ice."
After hearing this, the civil and military officials below bowed a little again.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Thinking back to the fourteenth year of Chongping, I met Emperor Sejongxian in the inner study room. We had a meeting between the emperor and his ministers. We hated to see each other so late. We went to pacify the rebels, suppressed the bandits at home, fought against the bandits outside, and fought against the bandits in the south.
It has been more than ten years since the Northern War..."
Speaking of this, a picture from the past seemed to come to mind.
These years have really been non-stop.
"I felt the kindness of Emperor Sejong Xian. The earth was thick and the sky was high, and it was like a new creation. So I thought of dying, report it to the state, and care for the people. However, times have changed, the country has been troubled, and the clan has lost its morals. Although I tried my best to support it, the clan is jealous.
If it continues unabated, the chaos in Xiaoqiang will continue to grow."
Having said this, he turned his attention to the civil and military ministers below.
Jia Heng said: "I was able to receive Emperor Sejongxian's order to assist the young master. Fortunately, the blood of loyal and brave men from China and foreign countries was spilled in the west of the river, and the wise men lost their wisdom in temples. The people traveled all over the world. Today, the territory of Kyushu reaches Japan in the east and Japan in the north.
The Mohe River reaches Congling in the west and reaches Taiwan in the south. Nowadays, in the nine states of China, the mountains and rivers have undergone tremendous changes, and the sun and moon have changed to a new sky."
Speaking of this, all the ministers in the palace bowed a little.
Since King Wei took charge of the government, his civil, political, and martial arts have flourished since the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng said: "I originally waited for my young master to grow up and rule the country personally. Since then, I have retired to Linquan to play with my grandchildren. I have also achieved a good relationship with Emperor Sejong Xian.
At the risk of death, I...I have joined the army since I was fourteen years old. For more than ten years, I have been worthy of all the people in the world, and I am worthy of...Emperor Sejong Xian."
At the end of the sentence, my voice was choked with sobs and tears were already flowing from my eyes.
Well, he was forced to become emperor.
If there is one person he can't deserve, it is Emperor Chongping. He can be worthy of anyone, including the common people of this great Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I await the death penalty!"
Suddenly, seeing Jia Heng crying, all the officials in the palace knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Heng.
They were the ones who forced me to do this and trapped you in a state of disloyalty and unrighteousness.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
It can be said that Jia Heng's cry even added a bit of involuntary sadness to the Han Dynasty's independence.
Even if Yao and Shun were resurrected, their moral character would be nothing more than this.
Jia Heng stood up, knelt down in the direction of Emperor Chongping's mausoleum, and bowed deeply.
At this moment, the ministers in the palace bowed to each other again and were willing to take the blame.
The Holy One wants to fulfill the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety, but they are forcing each other hard.
In fact, the Holy Emperor must not have any moral flaws in his court, otherwise his people will be in despair, and everyone in the world will follow his example.
After Jia Heng finished doing this, he looked solemn and stood in front of the golden chair. At this moment, the hall was eerily quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
It can be said that until this moment, Jia Heng, even if he became independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty, still has not lost the monument of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness as Emperor Sejongxian.
Because, a larger archway was built behind Emperor Sejong.
All the people in the world!
Even if later generations discuss Jia Heng's usurpation, there is nothing to blame.
Of course, in the future, Jia Heng would not only make great achievements comparable to those of Yao, Shun, and Yu, but he would at least create a prosperous age in order to silence the mouths of future generations.
Well, that is to say, history and people's hearts chose Jia Heng.
Lin Ruhai held an ivory and jade wat in his hand, breaking the deathly tranquility in the palace. His voice was slightly hoarse, and he said: "Your Majesty, now that the new dynasty has been established, a country name and a year should be established to calm the hearts of the world."
Zhao Yi, the second assistant to the cabinet, also raised his hand and said: "When the Holy Emperor was in Qiandi, he was named King Wei in the world, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Kingdom of Wei was also a country named by the direct relatives of the Emperor of Zhou."
At this moment, the two cabinet ministers changed the topic, which immediately dispersed the solemn atmosphere in the palace.
A group of courtiers who were knowledgeable about the past and present began to choose the name of the country based on the name of the feudal country where Jia Heng was located and the Book of Changes.
Cabinet minister Liu Zheng held an ivory and jade wat in his hand and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty's real surname is Su. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was still the name of the country of Su. So it is just right to take the name of the country of Su."
Liu Zhen said: "In this case, Zhao and Song Dynasty did not use Zhao Guo as the country's name at that time. It can be seen that there is no explanation for this."
Tan Jie was standing behind Liu Zhen at this moment and tugged on a corner of Liu Zhen's sleeve.
Zhao Kuangyin bullied the orphans and widows of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and then established the Zhao and Song dynasties. It is not appropriate to use this example now.
In short, the ministers in the DPRK were divided into two groups. One group used Jia Heng's previous title of King Wei as the country's name, and the other group used Jia Heng's original surname as the country's name. Each of them held their own opinions.
At this moment, Beijing Wang Shuirong held an ivory jade wat in his hand and said: "The matter of the country's title is related to the continuity of the clan. Please ask the Holy One to make a decision."
After hearing this, all the people who had been gathering opinions stopped their arguments and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty to make a final decision."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said loudly: "It is recorded in ancient books that the beauty of Chinese clothing is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia. The cabinet drafted an edict and named the country Xia."
Zhao Yi murmured and asked: "Xia?"
The Xia Kingdom was the first ancient dynasty to rule the world, and it can be said to be a model of a wise king in the rule of three generations.
The faces of the ministers in the palace were either resolute or calm, and a look of surprise could not help but appear on their faces.
Liu Zheng looked solemn and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the name of the founding year of the new dynasty is?"
Jia Heng's face was as calm as Xuanshui, his voice was like flying springs and jade, and the gold and stone were exciting: "After the Yuan Dynasty is changed next year, the reign will be in full bloom."
Zhao Yi, holding an ivory jade wat in his hand, quickly walked out of the courtroom and said: "Shengding means that the country is at its peak and prosperous. This year title has a good meaning."
The other ministers in the palace also whispered to each other and praised him endlessly.
Lin Ruhai held a flawless ivory jade wat in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in a few days there will be a grand enthronement ceremony, where the concubines in the harem will be awarded, and the edict will be issued to the world, and the people will send envoys to hear it."
Jia Heng said: "There is no rush now, we can discuss it later."
It must be first to reward the ministers who have made meritorious services, and there is no reason to reward the concubines in one's own harem first.
