Lord Yuan

Chapter 56 Welcome Liu Hong

first month.

It has been more than ten days since the death of Emperor Xiaohuan Liu Zhi.

Luoyang City.

The whole city was shrouded in an invisible cloud.

As Queen Liu Zhi, Dou Miao came to the court to inquire about politics.

Make the final decision with the officials.

From the Hejian Kingdom clan, Liu Hong, who succeeded Jiedu Tinghou, was selected.

issued an imperial edict.

Dou Miao sent the imperial censor, Liu Shu, the official of Shouguanglu, Cao Jie, the captain of Fengche, and others to the Hejian Kingdom to welcome Liu Hong to the throne.

Now, Liu Hongzheng, who had just turned ten years old, was full of interest in the great Han Dynasty. He drove a mighty car along the way, with countless guards, and the flag that could only be used by the emperor was also erected.

The common people passing by are gradually looking forward to the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne.

Looking forward to giving the big man a powerful shot.

The motorcade is so busy that it takes up an entire lane wherever it goes.

Soon, Liu Hong, led by the welcoming convoy, arrived outside Luoyang City, which he had never been before.

This city was so majestic that it completely exceeded his imagination. It was not at the same level as the Hejian Kingdom where he was.

Still young, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this my property?"

The people accompanying him were stunned when they heard this. Facing the new emperor who was about to inherit the throne, they were all thinking about how to leave a good impression in front of him in order to seek benefits for the future.

Captain Cao Jie, the captain of the chariot, took advantage of the situation and was good at understanding people's hearts. He immediately trotted forward, bowed his body and whispered respectfully.

"Your Highness, not only this city, but the entire Han Dynasty will be at the feet of Your Highness. Everywhere you go is the king's land, and everyone you embrace is your Highness's subjects."

When Liu Hong received such a satisfactory answer, an innocent smile immediately appeared on his face, and there was a sense of innocence in his eyes. He nodded with satisfaction and took a special look at this beardless man who seemed to be no longer young.

He looked around curiously and found that most of the people had beards and wore heavy armor.

There are also a small number of people who don't have beards and are slightly stooped. Liu Hong didn't say much, but silently kept these findings in mind.

Liu Hongshang didn't know what kind of existence he would become.

The princes from various places like them who were far away from the capital of Luoyang were no longer able to go to Beijing to meet the emperor every once in a while as in previous years. As time went by, the princes were locked in their own fiefdoms.

If there is no important matter, the princes are generally not allowed to enter the capital.

And now he has ascended to the throne of the highest power in the Han Dynasty and entered the palace he dreamed of.

All this is like a dream, confusing and confusing, and I am afraid of waking up from this dream with a stimulus.

At this time, all the civil and military officials in Luoyang were discussing and having different opinions.

Facing the descriptions of the officials below, Queen Dou Miao said with a serious face: "Now Liu Hong, the Marquis of Jiedu Pavilion of the Hejian Kingdom clan, has been welcomed to the Wanshou Pavilion of Xiamen outside the city. All the ministers should go to greet him. There must be no mistake. .”

"promise"

All the officials below responded in unison.

soon.

Liu Hong, who was bored outside the capital, was amused by the soft whispers of Cao Jie, the captain of Fengche, when suddenly there was the sound of walking in Luoyang City, mixed with discussions from time to time.

Cao Jie, who had a stooped body, quickly pulled away when he saw this, and apologized to Liu Hong, who was becoming interested: "Your Highness, the person who welcomes you is here."

Liu Hong was lying on the driver's seat, looking far ahead.Under the leadership of Dou Wu, all civil and military officials quickly arrived in front of Wanshou Pavilion.

Among them, naturally included Yuan Feng, one of the nine ministers of the dynasty, and Yuan Wei, the great minister.

At this time, the two brothers Yuan Feng, who symbolized the highest power of the Yuan family now, looked surprised.

When they learned that they were about to leave the palace to meet Liu Hong, the clan leader of the Hejian Kingdom and the Marquis of Jieduting, they instantly remembered the letter they had received a few days ago.

It was a letter sent from Yingchuan.

The above describes how the Yuan family should settle down now, and how the Yuan family should deal with the situation when the new emperor ascends the throne.

These two old foxes, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, who are well versed in officialdom, naturally know how deep the water inside is.

The two people, who originally had no intention of getting involved, saw the name of the successor on the letter and the date on which the enthronement ceremony would be held.

I originally thought it was just a joke made by my nephew, nothing more than nonsense.

For this reason, Yuan Wei even replied with a rather harsh letter. The letter said that Yuan Shao was only of his age now, and official affairs were not something that a young boy like him could foresee, let alone those involving the emperor. Things, shut your mouth quickly and don't talk about these anymore.

When the news was confirmed, the two leaders of the Yuan clan, who claimed to have been rampant in official circles for many years, were also shocked and speechless.

Fortunately, Yuan Feng had already learned from the past, and he gradually took Yuan Shao's sudden prophecy to heart.

Now that it has come true, is it possible that Yuan Shao really has the ability to see through mysteries?

Yuan Feng didn't know.

When he learned that Yuan Shao was now a student under the name of Li Ying, the former Sili school captain and the leader of the eight heroes, he also sighed repeatedly.

Originally, his character was very high, and he never wanted anything more than a small gain. He thought he was already at his peak before, but he didn't expect that he would be able to join Li Ying's disciples now.

Li Ying, who has always been known as the Climbing Dragon Gate, was naturally well known to Yuan Feng. His righteousness once forced the emperor to follow his temper.

Although he was deposed and returned to his hometown, he still opened private schools, taught scriptures and taught Taoism, and his reputation did not decline but rose.

Yuan Shao was able to gain the name of such a person, and Yuan Feng was naturally happy to see it happen.

Now the Yuan family has focused most of its resources on Yuan Ji, who has been an official in the court for many years. Yuan Shu, the second son, has just become an official as he wished through some manipulation.

It also coincides with the death of the emperor and the replacement of old and new emperors. Changes in the appointment and dismissal of officials will inevitably occur inside and outside the court. Yuan Shu's lieutenant may be promoted soon.

As a result, all the direct descendants of the Yuan family have begun to enter official positions.

As for Yuan Shao, in addition to the family's operation and his own reputation when he first came to the crown, he was promoted to Xiaolian and served as a small county magistrate as far away as Yanzhou.

Compared with Yuan Shu, who just promoted filial piety and integrity and then entered the capital as an official, the treatment was completely different.

The distinction of identity and bloodline will always exist.

The more prominent the family, the more they know how to differentiate. If Yuan Shao was not inherently smart and was loved by everyone when he was young, I am afraid that when he grows up, the family will not waste too much resources on him.

Fortunately, now, Yuan Shao has learned to find another way out without borrowing family resources, and Yuan Feng is very pleased with this.

Of course, there is also a hint of apology.

This apology is even more remarkable as it is confirmed by the content of this letter.

But at this moment, it is not the time to think about such trivial matters.

Welcoming the new emperor is the top priority.

And how to make the Yuan family seek enough benefits again during the new emperor's ascension to the throne naturally became the unanimous plan of the two.
