I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 342 New Era
Liu Sheng is not very clear: Compared with the original historical timeline, whether Tianzi Qi lived a few years longer or a few years less.

However, according to what Tianzi Qi said to Liu Sheng in the early years when the position of crown prince was pending, it can be inferred that in this historical timeline, Tianzi Qi may have lived three or five years less.

——In this timeline, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, lost the position of crown prince because of his mother Li Ji.

Liu Sheng can also roughly deduce that if it were not for this variable of his own, Liu Rong in this timeline would not only lose the crown prince and mother, but even his own life would not be saved.

Furthermore, according to the position expressed by the emperor Qi on the appointment of the crown prince in the past, Liu Sheng's random entry has a high probability of taking away the position that originally belonged to the emperor's tenth son Liu Zhi.

With this in mind, looking back at Liu Rong's situation in this timeline, it is not difficult for Liu Sheng to draw the following conclusions;

——In the original historical timeline, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, first missed the qualification for the crown prince because of his mother, and then lost his mother Li Ji.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven started to "pull out the generals from the dwarfs", or it should be said that he ruled out the training of the first nine, and finally chose the "new title" of Liu Zhi, the tenth son of the emperor, to start from scratch.

Because the tenth son of the emperor was established as the heir, Tianzi Qi would definitely kill Liu Rong out of the consideration of "Xiao Shi can't hold back the eldest son of the emperor".

In that timeline, without Liu Sheng coming forward as the prince to save the life of his elder brother Liu Rong, there is a high probability that Liu Rong would die before the emperor Qi, or even before the tenth son Liu Zhi was established as the crown prince.

But now, Liu Zhi, the tenth son of the emperor who has already been crowned king, is only nine years old;
In the original historical timeline, Tian Ziqi would never rest assured that the next nine-year-old prince, Liu She, would hold his breath and try his best to last until Liu She was crowned—at least it was close to being crowned.

But in this timeline, the older Liu Sheng made Tianzi Qi reluctantly relax.

Coupled with Liu Sheng's intrusion, Tianziqi accidentally came into contact with the unplanned factor of 'Dangshen', overdrawing the vitality of the last few years in advance...

Combining all the above, in a word, in a word: Qi, the son of heaven in this life, barely lived to be 40 years old.

Born in the first year of Empress Dowager Lv, Tianzi Qi, who became the crown prince at the age of nine and inherited the throne at the age of 31, came to the end of his life after only sitting on the throne for about nine years.

In the ninth year of Emperor Qixinyuan, the first ten days of autumn in July;
After the Imperial Physician's Order made it clear that 'From today onwards, every time Your Majesty faints, you may not wake up again', Tianzi Qi lasted for another month;
But in the first ten days of July, after fainting for the last time, Tianzi Qi really didn't wake up again.

On the twelfth day of the seventh month in autumn, Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Ren to perform acupuncture in Xuanshi Hall under the order of Empress Dowager Dou, with the intention of forcibly waking up Tianzi Qi to make a final confession.

But after Zhou Ren performed the acupuncture, Tian Ziqi only woke up for a moment, then fell into a deep sleep again.

Waking up at that moment, Tianzi Qi only briefly explained to his mother, Empress Dowager Dou, wife, Empress Jia, and Prince Liu Sheng, what happened behind him;

That night, in the bell room of Weiyang Palace, the nine-ringed death knell that made the whole world feel anxious.

——The princes died six times, and the emperor died nine times.

In the ninth year of Emperor Qi Xinyuan, at midnight on the twelfth day of the seventh month in autumn, Liu Qi, the emperor of Han Dynasty, died in Weiyang Palace...
·
"Please enter in order, gentlemen;"

"The Queen Mother, Queen and Your Majesty have been waiting for a long time..."

Weiyang Palace, outside Xuanshi Palace.

Almost when they heard the nine death knells resounding over the city of Chang'an, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty put on the mourning clothes they had prepared long ago, and then appeared outside the Sima Gate of Weiyang Palace.

For the Han family, after today, it is destined to be a new chapter.

And this new chapter needs to be opened by the top of the entire power pyramid in the morning before dawn today...

"Let's go."

"Follow me into the palace, respectfully hear the last instruction of Emperor Daxing, and then bow to the new emperor."

At the words of Prime Minister Tao Qing, all the ministers and officials nodded in unison, and immediately rushed into the palace from Sima Gate;
So few people noticed: the eunuch who came to convey the order changed from the eunuch Ling Chuntuo, who was accustomed to by all officials, to the young crown prince who belonged to Ling: Xia Que...
"Minister, please see the Queen Mother~"

"Emperor Daxing passed away, ministers and others, my heart is like a knife..."

"I wish the Empress Dowager would mourn, and at this time when the Lord Shaoguo is in doubt, the overall situation is in charge..."

Flooding into the Xuanshi Hall, seeing the three figures on the imperial couch, all the officials and officials automatically ignored the other mother and son, and only bowed to Queen Mother Dou in unison.

On the imperial couch, the Empress Dowager Dou, whose head was tied with a mourning cloth, only let out a long sigh, and then nodded slowly and inaudibly.

"sit down······"

"Sit down..."

When the Empress Dowager spoke, all the officials and ministers dared not hesitate for a moment, and took their seats on both sides of the Xuanshi Hall according to their respective positions.

It was only at this time that all the officials dared to raise their heads a little and looked at the three grandparents and grandchildren on the imperial couch.

——has worshiped the ancestors in the Taimiao Temple, and although he has not officially become the emperor, he has already worn the emperor's crown, the twelve sulfur crown on his head, and a new filial piety mask on the crown and a filial belt on his forehead. Jun Liu Sheng sat in the center of the imperial couch with only tears in his eyes.

Empress Dowager Dou sat on the right side of Liu Sheng, holding the brown-red dove staff, her eyes were full of sorrow, but she also forced herself into a majesty that belonged to the empress dowager;
Empress Jia did not sit on the imperial couch, but knelt and sat on the left side of the imperial couch, the tears on her face were still wet, her brows and eyes were still red.

"About ten years ago, I bid farewell to my husband, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Han family, in this Xuanshi Hall."

"Today, I'm here again, and I'm in Xuanshidian, sending off my son..."

"People often say: the greatest sorrow in the world is when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person."

"Such inhuman grief, I can be considered to have experienced it today..."

···
"Ugh······"

"My lords, don't worry too much."

"Ever since Emperor Gao died in Changle and ordered Emperor Xiaohui to succeed him, the responsibilities of the Empress Dowager Han have been determined by Empress Lu."

"Although I don't have the ability of Empress Dowager Lu, and I don't have the broad mind of Empress Dowager Bo, but I don't know the responsibility of Empress Dowager..."

"When Emperor Daxing was dying, he left a will to explain the ancestral temple and the community;"

"At that time, the prime minister, the imperial doctor and other ministers were also present."

"Now, the Daxing emperor's palace chariot is driving, and the crown prince has already worshiped his ancestors and told the temple. He is wearing a crown and sitting on the imperial couch in the Xuanshi Hall."

"Let the prime minister take the lead and lead the ministers and officials to respectfully ask for the emperor's edict..."

Empress Dowager Dou's extremely mournful tone only brought tears to the eyes of all the officials in the palace;

However, right now, it is really not the time to weep and mourn for Daxing Emperor Liu Qi, so everyone wiped away their tears, then stood up under the leadership of Prime Minister Tao Qing, and lined up in the center of the hall.

"The Prime Minister of the Right, Tao Qing, the Marquis of Kaifeng, led all the court officials, ministers and noble relatives, and respectfully heard the last words of the Emperor Daxing!"

"Prime Minister Zuo Jianling, Marquis Wei Wan, together with his ministers and officials, respectfully heard the legacy of Emperor Daxing!"

"Minister, I respectfully hear the legacy of Emperor Daxing!!!"

All the officials in the hall sang in turn, and each said the phrase "respectfully heard the last instruction of the emperor Daxing", and saw the old prince Xima Jian, who had changed into the official uniform of the audience, holding the quilt in both hands. The lightly folded white silk cloth came to the center under the royal steps in a solemn manner.

Turning around, bowed to Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Sheng on the imperial couch, and Empress Jia on the side of the imperial couch, and then turned around again, facing the officials and officials in the center of the palace, and opened the piece of paper with a solemn expression. Silk cloth.

"Emperor Daxing's edict, all officials kneel to hear~"

The long chants only caused hundreds of figures in the hall to kneel down in unison;
Seeing that Ji An whispered slightly, he recited the edict that had already been drafted and polished by the censor and Shang Shulang.

"The imperial edict said: In the evening, the King of Qin implemented a tyrannical government and oppressed the sea. He stole the position of the emperor, causing the world to suffer unspeakably, and the people are unbearable.

"It's old and sick. Qin Wangzheng didn't think about the things behind him. Instead, he called all the people in the world to Xianyang, trying to figure out the way of longevity for immortals and gods."

"After the failure, the deserted sand dunes, Zhao Gao and Li Si usurped the edict and established Huhai, which led to the death of Qin II."

"I've often heard that if you don't forget the past, you will be the teacher of the future."

"Qin Wangzheng does not follow the way of heaven, and wants to do things against the sky, which leads to the flames of war and chaos in the world. I really don't want it."

"——There is a folk proverb that says: Those who eat whole grains will inevitably suffer from life, old age, sickness and death. This is the way of heaven, and there is no way to go against it."

"Today I am doing great things, it is God's way, to bless our Han family for generations to prosper, and it will be the great fortune of our Han family..."

···
"The crown prince wins, he can stand in the age of no crown, allow Wen Yunwu, benevolent and righteous, love the people, be filial to the elders and friends, and be worthy of the ancestral temple."

"It is the crown prince who succeeds Han Guozuo, who is the emperor."

"The crown prince is young and has not been crowned, so he will not be regent for the time being. The queen mother will temporarily take over the power of the emperor's court until the new king is crowned and married."

"It is to tell the world: I have no merit to the community and no virtue to the people of the world. I will collapse immediately. Don't mourn the whole country;"

"The coffin will be suspended for seven days and I will be buried in Yangling. The funeral objects should be kept simple, and the accompanying officials and soldiers should be widowed."

"The people cry for three days, the officials cry for seven days, and the patriarchs only need half a day..."

As Ji An's high-pitched reading sound dissipated, hundreds of figures in the hall had already bowed and wiped away their tears;

Such a will, it can be said that there is nothing that can poke people's tears.

Its main purpose is nothing more than Daxing Emperor Liu Qi explaining the affairs after his death, such as who will inherit the throne and how to deal with the aftermath.

But it was precisely because of this that all the officials in the palace felt so sad.

——As expected of Your Majesty...

——Still so pragmatic, not saying a word of scene, not a word of politeness;
——Even the will has such strong personal characteristics...

"By the Emperor Daxing's edict~"

"Prince Liu Sheng, who is the emperor, worships the ancestors and sues the temple, and is the Son of Heaven~"

"Hundreds of officials kneel down to accept their loyalty, follow the last instruction of the emperor Daxing, and be the ministers of the new emperor from generation to generation~"

Another singing sound sounded, and all the officials hurriedly stood up;
On the imperial couch, Empress Dowager Dou stood up with the support of the palace servants, retreated to the side of the imperial couch, and gave the entire imperial couch to Liu Sheng.

Only when Liu Sheng raised his head, revealing his tender and tear-stained face, did the officials kneel down again.

"Minister, see Your Majesty~~~"

"I hope that Your Majesty will live forever, and be happy forever~"

"I hope that the Emperor Daxing will bless me, Han Zuo, so that I will live forever and pass on forever~"

After the sound of all the officials fell, no more, no less, after three breaths, Liu Sheng on the imperial couch got up with tears in his eyes;
Zhuo Zhuo's eyes swept over all the officials in the hall one by one, Fang arched his hands, and bowed to all the officials in return.

He didn't start singing, but turned around, walked to the side, took Empress Dowager Dou's arm from the hand of the palace man, and then helped the grandmother back to the imperial couch and sat down.

Now, Empress Dowager Dou is sitting in the center of the couch, while Liu Sheng is standing sideways beside Empress Dowager Dou.

This simple action has already shown Liu Sheng's attitude: Although I succeed to the throne, the power of government and government is still in the hands of the Queen Mother!
Realizing Liu Sheng's intentions, all the officials paid homage again to show that they fully obeyed the decisions of the Daxing emperor Liu Qi and the new emperor Liu Sheng.

Baiguan straightened up, and Ji An's long voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty's edict~"

"Hundreds of officials kneel to welcome~~~"

After Ji An's words fell, all the officials who had just stood up, knelt down again in unison.

"When I was not crowned, I inherited the importance of the ancestral temple and the community. With this insignificant body, I faced the Yuanyuan of the world, and I was trembling in real battle, like walking on thin ice;"

"Fortunately, there are elders who are in charge of the court, and there are loyal people who serve others. This is the blessing of the ancestors, and it is the great fortune of the world."

"Although he is not in power and facing the court, he still uses this edict to tell the world:"

"——Emperor Daxing passed away. I am deeply saddened, and I am ordering all the counties and states in the world to mourn."

"Those who go up to the dukes, and those who go down from the public rides, cry ten times in the morning and evening, for seven days;"

"The prince rides up, the Marquis of Guannei rides down, or the one who climbs a hundred stones will cry thirty times in the morning and evening, for a period of fifteen days;"

"Jueguan Neihoushang, Zhiqianshishang, and all the relatives and clan members of Liu's clan cried 55 times in the morning and evening, for 55 days."

"According to the last instruction of Emperor Daxing, the coffin was buried for seven days before being buried in Yangling, so that the kings of Linjiang, Hejian, and Jiangdu immediately went to Chang'an to go to their father's funeral."

"Respect: The Empress Dowager Dou is the Empress Dowager;"

"Respect: Empress Jia is the Empress Dowager;"

"Respect: Princess Guantao prostitutes as Princess Taichang;"

"Worship: The old prince Taifu Jianling Hou Weiwan is the emperor Taifu, and he will go to the left prime minister to take the post of lieutenant temporarily;"

"Marquis Wei Qi, Marquis Zhang Wu, and Marquis Nanpi, each with a thousand households in the city of Yifeng;"

"Edict: Jia Gui, the brother of the Empress Dowager Jia, is the Marquis of Zhongwu, with five hundred households in Shiyi."

···
"Emperor Daxing passed away. I am very saddened. I ordered all officials in the court to discuss and choose a beautiful posthumous posthumous title, so as to determine the merits and demerits of Emperor Daxing;"

"Emperor Daxing destroyed Wu and Chu, and got rid of the disrespect of our Han princes. Although his achievements are not as good as Emperor Taizu Gao, the difference is not much."

"Nailing Fengchang, Zongzheng Yousi, discusses the temple music of Emperor Daxing, to comfort the emperor's heroic spirit in heaven..."
