I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 142 Decide a posthumous name in advance?

A queen suddenly appeared in the emperor's mouth. Although it sounded like a joke, even if Liu Bian wanted to marry, it would only be a princess, but it could be seen that the emperor had accepted his physical condition.

Taking the Canadian dollar and marrying a wife both mean adulthood. It also means that if something unexpected happens to the emperor in the future, Liu Bian can skip the stage of observing the government of the Queen Mother and directly take charge.

How could Emperor Ling not know that with the level of Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, it would be great if they could not hold them back.

Liu Bian is not a hard-hearted person. Emperor Ling is still thinking about him on this occasion. How could he not be moved?

He pursed his lips and said, "Father, take a good rest. I'm still waiting for Father to come and see you for the crowning ceremony!"

"Okay!" Emperor Ling quickly agreed, "Bian'er can always make me feel at ease!"

Liu Bian said: "Father, do you still remember the bet you promised me? It was a gentleman's agreement about Xun Yu."

Emperor Ling laughed. He remembered that Liu Xie was there at that time, and he followed Liu Bian's example and left the request.

"I never thought about making any request. Now, I have thought about it. I just want my father to get well soon."

"I agreed to you!" After chatting for a few more words on this topic, Emperor Ling suddenly mentioned, "Although I lost that day, I also have a request. I wonder if I can agree to it?"

"Father, just say so, and the child will definitely agree."

Liu Bian only thought that Emperor Ling asked him to take care of Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie again. During this period, Empress Dowager Dong's attitude towards him changed greatly, and Emperor Ling's influence should be indispensable.

As for Liu Xie, their original relationship was pretty good.

But when Liu Bian saw Zhang Rang on the side, he immediately handed over the "Book of Zhou", obviously he was well prepared.

What Liu Bian saw was the part that recorded the posthumous title.

He understood immediately.

The "Ling" of the Ling Emperor is certainly not a good posthumous title. Being famous without diligence is called Ling, being determined after death is called Ling, being chaotic but not damaging is called Ling...

Considering that although Emperor Ling had begun to correct his evil ways at the end of his reign, he had not yet had time to make any achievements, the word "spiritual" is somewhat appropriate.

It was obvious that He Jin and Yuan Wei, who were in power at that time, would not strive for a good posthumous title for Emperor Ling, and they might even be the ones leading the charge of "Ling".

Emperor Huan's posthumous title of "Huan" was truly a good one, so Liu Bian naturally had to give the emperor a good posthumous title as well.

It's just that Liu Bian didn't expect that the emperor would bring up the matter first.

He asked: "Father, is there anything you are satisfied with?"

The emperor felt a little embarrassed at this time.

Seeing this, Liu Bian simply brought it up himself. Needless to say, the holy emperor at the beginning was not necessary to mention. The posthumous title of the previous emperor should also be avoided.

Liu Bian soon saw one and asked: "Father, what's the word Kang? The origin is "Kang", and the name of "Kang" is "Kang", which means "Kang" is the name of "Kang". It means "Kang" is the name of "Kang", and "Kang" is the name of "Kang". Previously, the civil unrest was mostly caused by the abuses of the previous dynasty. Now that all parties are stable, Father deserves this. name!"

Even though Liu Bian said this, Emperor Liu Hong still said softly on the couch: "It's a bit much."

He is still somewhat self-aware of what he did in the past.

Liu Bian then successively mentioned the wisdom of foresight and foresight, the philosophy of knowing the subtleties and considering the end, and the fidelity of meritorious service, peace of mind, and virtue. The emperor was hesitant.

"How about the word "Xian"? He is very knowledgeable and capable of writing "Xian". My father is especially good at writing poems and writings. I often feel inferior to him."

Liu Hong said modestly: "Ci Fu is a little Taoist." Liu Hong thought he was worthy of the term "Erudition and Versatility".

Seeing the emperor's response, Liu Bian continued: "Rewarding good and punishing evil is called the Constitution. My father also dealt with corrupt officials strictly. These are my father's virtuous policies!"

At this time, Liu Hong felt guilty. Before he could say anything, Zhang Rang suddenly became flustered.

Liu Bian saw that the emperor was still very interested in the word "Xian", so he immediately put the "Book of Zhou" aside temporarily and said: "If my father has no other favorite words, just choose from the ones I just found. …”

Liu Hong soon mentioned Xian awkwardly, and Liu Bian immediately said: "That's the word."

Emperor Liu Hong also felt that this word was unlikely to arouse opposition from the ministers, and it was in line with his wishes, so he was very satisfied.

He did not forget to give Liu Bian advice: "When the time comes, Bian'er can take this opportunity to pay more attention to which ministers support and which ministers oppose...those who oppose, Bian'er should be careful..."

When Liu Bian heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

To be honest, he didn't expect Liu Hong to be so calm when facing death.

In addition to posthumous titles, there are also temple titles. Since Guangwu, except for three emperors who died young, all the others have temple titles. This is what Liu Bian must strive for for the emperor.

Just like what Jiajing did, draw a path for the ministers and stand in line!

Probably because he felt relieved because he had solved a troublesome issue that was pressing on his mind, the emperor and Liu Bian continued to chat before falling asleep for a short time.

……

Liu Bian's Canadian ceremony was very simple, not at all like the grand ceremony when he was canonized as crown prince. The guests and praises during the Canadian service were Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong respectively. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, it really shouldn't be too grand.

Liu Bian had no intention of making a big show of it.

During this period, no miracle happened, and Emperor Ling was still lying on the couch.

Under normal circumstances, the prince's Canadian service should be the same as other major ceremonies in other countries, offering amnesty to the whole world to show his kindness.

But this time Liu Bian refused. Not to mention other places, the corrupt officials in the counties near Luoyang are still serving their sentences for crimes that did not lead to death, so let them go like this?

So what’s the point of punishment? Liu Bian was unwilling.

The most important thing is that Emperor Ling's amnesty was used too frequently, sometimes even reaching the level of once a year. The most recent time was when Liu Bian was canonized as the prince.

If you use it too much, it will no longer be rare, and your kindness will be limited.

Among the current decision-makers of Yuntai Palace, Ma Rixi is the most dogmatic, and he has not insisted on this matter.

Speaking of which, Ma Rixi's appointment as Taiwei also has another benefit. Although he is from Youfufeng in Kansai, Ma's marriage to the Kanto clan Yue has a complicated relationship. As a Taiwei who was the first to bear the brunt of natural and man-made disasters, when there were "early warnings" such as solar eclipses and rains in the past, the voices of criticism were far less vocal than when there was a flood in the seven counties.

Of course, this was also due to Liu Bian's unwillingness to dismiss from office. Later, Liu Bian decided to change it.

After He Jin left, Ding Gong became a bit of an eyesore to Liu Bian. At this time, Liu Bian no longer needed the two San Gongs who were close to the eunuchs. Compared with Fan Ling, who had approached Liu Bian earlier and more thoroughly, Ding Gong was undoubtedly the best candidate to vacate the position.

Liu Bian did not know that in history, Ding Gong was one of the first ministers to respond to Dong Zhuo's call to depose the young emperor. He compared Dong Zhuo to Yi Yin, so that some people directly called him "inhuman".

As for the issue of the crown princess, Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He did not think it was just a joke by the emperor, but actually took care of it.
