A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 525: King Shitian and other princes persuaded Xia to come forward and made three speeches to allow Xia to establish a tripod.

Xianhe five years
After a year of stability, the land of Guanlong basically surrendered to Shile.

May
Shi Le proclaimed himself the Heavenly King of Zhao, performed the duties of the emperor, established his concubine Liu as queen, and his son Shi Hong as prince. He also established hundreds of officials and enfeoffed various clans.

September
Shi Le officially proclaimed himself emperor, granted amnesty to the world, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianping, honored his great ancestor with the following posthumous titles, and established Liu as the empress and Prince Shi Hong as the crown prince.

The Jin Dynasty granted the title of King of Zhongshan to the son Zhongshan Gong Shi Hu; the second son Shi Hong to the title of Qin King; the third son Shi Hui to the title of Nanyang King; and the adopted son Shi Kan to the title of Pengcheng King.

November 5th

Baiguo, Qiyang County, Chaoge, White House
Su An, the Prime Minister and Assistant Duke of the State, Yuanjian of the State Lieutenant and the Duke of Zhen Guo, Cui Wei of Zhongshu Ling and Duke of Qinghe, Zhang Ye of Shangshu Ling and Duke of Pingjun, General Zhenbei, Duke Tian of Zhongshan, General Zhenjun and Duke Jiuyuan Bai Wu and more than 20 important ministers jointly submitted a memorial requesting Bai Zhai to proclaim himself emperor.

Facing Bai Zhai who always refused, Su An persuaded him earnestly:

"Your Majesty, I know that you are devoted to the country, and all you want is to let the people of this world live and work in peace and contentment. However, in this era of great strife, you will die or I will die, and there is no room for any hesitation.

In September, the puppet Zhao Shile claimed the throne and took over the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. He ruled across the river from the Southern Jin Dynasty and was tit for tat with it.

The only emperors in the world now are Zhao and Jin. If the king sticks to the ritual system and follows the rules foolishly, he will definitely be at a disadvantage in the battle with Shi Le. "

Yuan Jianye said angrily:
"Your Majesty, we and other three clans have been following the Bai family for generations, but the Bai family is destined by fate to ensure peace for all eternity.

Now that the king is in Hebei, the cause of the revival of the Han Dynasty is destiny. If he insists on going his own way, won't it hurt the hearts of the people of the Bai Kingdom and the hearts of our three tribes?
Ask Wang Jian to take the throne! ! ! "

"Wang Jian, please take the throne!"

Watching the ministers in the Chengtian Palace change their usual bows and bow down on their knees, the mountain's shouts shook the dome.

Bai Zhai really couldn't decide.

In his mind, there are warnings given to him by ancestors of all generations, including some sayings that it is ominous for those who claim to be emperors, and some ancestors clearly told future generations in their own biographies that they should not call themselves emperors.

Bai Zhai hesitated again and again and said:
"It is really difficult for me to decide. This matter will be discussed later."

November 14
Prince Bai Shu, who was in Yecheng, returned to Chaoge and entered the palace to meet Bai Zhai:

"Father, my son heard that before, the ministers persuaded the father to enter, but the father refused?"

Bai Zhai looked troubled and sighed:

"This is true, what does Shu'er think?"

Although Bai Shu is over fifty years old this year, his white hair outnumbers his black hair. Due to his long military career, he has inevitably acquired the aura of a tiger and a wolf.

"Father, please forgive me for being rude. My father's move is really too selfish. It even goes against the will of our ancestors. It is not the behavior of the Bai family."

Bai Zhai did not get angry and asked:
"how you said that?"

"Father, the reason why I, the Bai family, went out to Chaoge and dominated Hebei is because the Jin court was unruly, the barbarians were raging, and the people were in danger. We just upheld the aspirations of our ancestors, the soldiers served their lives, and the people supported us.

Today, Shi Le is sitting facing south, establishing the pseudo-Zhao, claiming to be the successor of the Yan Han Dynasty, and acting like a descendant of the Chinese.

We all know that he was born in Jie people, after the Huns, a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing.

But the people in Henan didn't know, and even some people in Hebei didn't know. They only knew that Shi Le was the emperor and the emperor.

And my father, although we are the descendants of Yu the Great, Zhu Xia Zhengshuo is just a prince. The destiny of the world is limited, and we are more popular than the emperor and less than the princes.

Under this situation, the people of Hebei are uncertain. The civil servants and generals will not get what they want. Can our Bai country achieve the goal of exterminating the barbarians and restoring China?
Is the father's move really the ambition of his ancestors? "

Bai Zhai fell silent and fell into the struggle between heaven and man. Bai Shu's words in his mind kept conflicting with the mottos left by his ancestors. It was really difficult to make a choice.

In Bai Shu's expectant eyes, Bai Zhai said tiredly:

"Let's take a look again. The Bai family is not the Bai family of this king alone, but the Bai family of all the Bai family's sons."

Bai Shu sighed and retreated.

He knows that although his father is kind and good at government affairs, he has always been indecisive. In the past, his grandfather Bai Yan made the decision. Now that his grandfather has passed away, he cannot achieve the effect of his grandfather due to his identity, which makes Bai Zhai always feel anxious. .

Among the previous heads of the Bai family, Bai Zhai is the one who ages the fastest. Even with the longevity extension of the secret secrets of Tianshi Tao, Bai Zhai's physical condition now in his early eighties is the same as that of a ninety-year-old, or even worse. Grandfather Bai Yan is in good health.

November 26

At this time, Bai Shu had returned to Yecheng. Under Bai Shu’s constant contact:
Bai Zhai’s two brothers: Anping Gong Baiyi and Guangping Gong Baiyi;

Several nephews: Dongwu Gongbailin, Shanyang Gongbaiji, Chengping Gongbaiji;

The third heir to the Bai family, Gongsun, Qiyang Gong, Sizhou Xiaowei Bai Kai and other more than ten important clan officials from the town jointly submitted a letter requesting Bai Zhai to ascend the throne.

November 29

The envoys sent by the thirteen clan ministers, together with more than a hundred ministers at court, inspected the crops from outside the city and returned to the palace. When they passed the city gate, they fell down at the city gate and invited Bai Zhai to ascend the throne.

Bai Zhai rejected their persuasion in full public view and under the gaze of all the people:

"My king decided to send troops to Hebei to save the people from the barbarians and to punish the people for their crimes. I have no intention of coveting power.

Now that Qing and others are forcing me to go to the palace, isn't it harming my king's reputation and making the people of the world think of me?
This matter has been decided and let go. "

After saying that, Bai Zhai ordered the carriage to go straight back to the palace. The ministers quickly got out of the way and then looked at each other in confusion. Su Cheng, the Prime Minister of the State, smiled and held his white beard, and said to the ministers on his left and right:

"The king has already figured it out. All he needs to do is make a final move and it can be done."

The minister made Zhang Ye think for a moment and also smiled. When others asked him why, Zhang Ye just laughed and said nothing.

December

Su Cheng brought Yuan Xin, the former clan chief, and Quan Zhong, the Quan clan chief, to the Mansion of the Duke of Pingan to ask for an audience with the Duke of Pingan. Zong Ling and Baiyuan offered wine to Bai Can, cousin of the late Bai Mingjing King Bai Yan and the eldest of the Bai clan.

After half a day of conversation, the three people from Su Cheng went out with smiles on their faces.

December 23

Bai Zhai received a letter of persuasion signed by all the Bai clan members from all over the country. It had the signatures of the entire Bai clan and the 135 Bai clan members with divine seals. Even the newborn baby had its footprints stamped on it. .

"...We, the descendants of the Bai family, would like to ask the head of the family to be promoted to the throne in order to show the prestige of the Bai family and carry forward the aspirations of our ancestors."

After receiving this letter of persuasion, Bai Zhai did not take any action, nor did he instruct the secretary to draft a modesty edict as before, but pretended that he had not received it.

December 27

Bai Zhai decided to go to worship his ancestors and seek their responses regarding whether he should be promoted to the throne.

December 28

Bai Zhai led his ministers to the ancestral mausoleum outside Chaoge City. On the sacrificial platform at the entrance of the ancestral mausoleum, he personally burned the memorial inscription requesting instructions.

Later, Bai Zhai went to the White Temple to fast, hoping to receive enlightenment from his ancestors.

Xianhe six years
The first day of the first lunar month

Bai Zhai and his ministers, who had been fasting for three days in Baimiao, began to return to Chaoge.

After Bai Zhai and others entered Chaoge City, residents all over the city prostrated on both sides of the avenue, shouting "long live the mountain" and urging Bai Zhai to enter.

The representative of public opinion, a scholar who was over 10 years old and recommended by the people of Chaoge, personally held the Book of All Peoples, stood in the middle of the avenue, in front of Bai Zhai's carriage, and read aloud "Invite King Bai to ascend the throne and enthrone the great treasure, the Wish Letter of All Peoples":
"...

This is the will of all the people of the Bai Kingdom, and it is also the will of God. I hope the king will understand it and examine it, and the grassroots Liu Yuan will write it on his behalf. "

With the support of a young man on the side, Liu Yuan wanted to bow down.

Bai Zhai quickly asked someone to help him up, came to Liu Yuan in person, took the book of the people, burst into tears, walked up to the carriage, looked down at the crowd and said loudly:
"The will of the people is like this, the will of God is like this, Bai Zhai, I dare not do anything, today, I, Bai Zhai, will fulfill my position!!!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

The shouts of "Long Live the Mountain" continued continuously for several quarters of an hour.

The Bai Zhai carriage changes direction directly and goes straight into the Temple of Heaven used for sacrifices.

When they arrived at the Temple of Heaven, the waiters who had been prepared had already put on the imperial attire for Bai Zhai, put on a twelve-beaded crown, and climbed up to the Temple of Heaven step by step, which is a hundred meters high.

Looking at the dense crowd of soldiers, civilians, and ministers under the altar, Bai Zhai took over the heaven-sacrifice text that he had already prepared from his secretary Ling Baiji.

Holding a sacrificial inscription, he recited loudly:

"The emperor's minister Zhai dared to use Xuan Mu and told the emperor clearly: Emperor Han was responsible for coordinating the emperor's fortunes, and revealed the destiny of heaven. He returned to the world three times and ordered Zhai to say:

'In the past, Yao of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne of Yu Shun, and Yu Shun also took the place of Zen to Yu, and taught him great virtues for many years. The virtues of the Han Dynasty declined and the Jin court was immoral. As a result, the Central Plains fell, barbarians were rampant, and the people were in dire straits.

I am the son of Zhai Bai, the successor of Dayu. He inherited the virtues of his ancestors and inherited the generosity of the Xia Dynasty. He swept away all the barbarians in Hebei and protected the people of that area.

Today, in the south of Zhao and Jin, one is a barbarian and the other is unjust. They steal the Chinese state and poison the people of Xia and Han. They are actually unjust kings and barbarian kings pretending to be kings.

Zhai Benzhengshuo, brought chaos to the people, founded the country and built a marquis, announced the rites and punishments, clarified the divisions and Ji, Bao Huaiyou, and merged, sent letters to Xia Xingren, the eight banners were in the same track, far and near Chiyi, auspicious and auspicious, the heaven and man cooperated, Wusi Not convinced.

After the third day of the charter, I used to gather my great orders here. '

Zhai Weide had no heirs and was not ordered to die. So the ministers and ministers, hundreds of officials, and Li Xian accompanied the ministers, and the chiefs of the barbarians, and said: "The emperor has taken a look at the situation, and asked for the people's troubles. Since he has succeeded, it is definitely not contrary to the gains he has made."

The order of heaven must not be unruly, and humans and gods must not neglect the Lord. Zhai devoutly serves the emperor's destiny, fears the power of heaven, dares to abandon his life without honor, pays respect to Yuan Chen, ascends to the altar to receive Zen, prays to God, and answers the people's hope forever. Bless all nations.

Only Mingde is the food. "

After finishing the recitation, Bai Zhai threw the sacrificial text into the blazing cauldron fire. The specially-made sacrificial edict was burned by the fire, and the green smoke shot straight into the sky.

Arriving at the Temple of Heaven, facing all the people and ministers, the Tiangang wind whistled behind him, causing the hem of Bai Zhai's clothes to constantly wash away.

"I say: The Bai family inherits the Han Dynasty, and Daxia should be established. From today on, I will name it 'Xia', build the Yuan Dynasty as 'Taikang', change the name of Chaoyang to Qiyang, establish it as the capital, and inherit Daxia!"

After Bai Zhai finished speaking, the warriors at each level repeated Bai Zhai's words:

"The country of Daxia was founded, Taikang was established, the capital was established in Qiyang, and the country of Daxia was established!!!"

The sound reached the ears of all the ministers and people under the Temple of Heaven, and they all bowed down and said:
"Long live my emperor, long live Daxia, long live long live long live!!!"

In the first year of Taikang, on the first day of the first lunar month, the Bai family established the country of Daxia, which was called Jianyuan.
