The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1153 The new emperor ascends the throne
The queen master Liu Chan finally finished his life. He became emperor at the age of 17 and died at the age of 68. He sat on the emperor's seat for 51 years. Such a long emperor's career is second to none not only in the Three Kingdoms era, but also in the entire history. In the long river, it is enough to rank in the top ten.

The majestic and powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che reigned for 54 years, only three years longer than Liu Chan. Among the three dynasties of the former Han Dynasty, the later Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan's reign time ranked second. It should be said that There is nothing to regret about Liu Chan's death.

As a relatively mediocre emperor, although he was in power for a long time, his political achievements were lacklustre. The first 11 years of Liu Chan's reign were the period when the brilliant Zhuge Liang assisted the government. Possessing supreme power, he did everything a prime minister should do, and also did what a prime minister should not do. In fact, Liu Chan in this period was not much different from the puppet emperor.

The following 29 years were the darkest period of the Shu Han court. Liu Chan's favor and trust in Huang Hao made the entire Shu Han court a mess, almost to the point of subjugation.

If Liu Yin hadn't stepped forward and tried his best to turn the tide, Liu Chan's last career in his life would probably be to go to Luoyang to be an Anle Gong, and spend the rest of his life in the joy of not thinking about Shu.

In the last 11 years of his emperor's career, Liu Chan has no sense of existence anymore, and moved his capital to Nanzhong. No matter how fierce the war in the Central Plains is, it has nothing to do with him.

But Liu Chan was lucky, because he lived to the day when the Han Dynasty was restored and was still in the old capital, and he could sit on the dragon bed in the Luoyang Palace in person. Liu Xiu stood shoulder to shoulder.

Liu Chan left calmly, without any regrets.

As for Liu Chan's afterlife, it was much simpler because of the change of Kaiyangmen.Liu Xun, who was originally favored by Liu Chan, went crazy in despair because of the failure of the mutiny.These days, Liu Chan, who has been worrying about who will inherit the throne, finally no longer has to choose. Although he has another prince, Liu Qian, he cannot compare with Liu Chen in terms of ability or prestige. Liu Chen's succession to the throne was almost expected by everyone.

Before Liu Chan died, he summoned Huo Yi, Liu Yin, Zhang Shao, Jiang Xian, Guan Yi and other important officials of the court. He was nearly forty, but Liu Chan's life was already hanging by a thread. He was dying and could not speak clearly. He could only point at Liu Chen with his fingers, and after saying a few words, he died.

The emperor's funeral is the top priority of the imperial court, so it cannot be sloppy, but there are corresponding officials to preside over everything, so Liu Chan's funeral is also orderly.The funeral committee was established very quickly. Huo Yi, Liu Yin and other five people were the funeral officials, who were in charge of Liu Chan's funeral affairs. But he was not very familiar with court etiquette, so he was happy to be at leisure.

The whole city is full of tears, and the whole world is crying. The princes, ministers, civil and military officials come and go to pay homage, and the whole Luoyang is full of traffic and bustling.

After the death of the emperors of the later Han Dynasty, there was no unified mausoleum. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was buried in the original mausoleum, northeast of Luoyang, Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang was buried in Xianjie Mausoleum, southeast of Luoyang, and Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was buried in Wenling, northeast of Luoyang , As for Han Xiandi Liu Xie, he was no longer the emperor when he died, and was buried in Xiuwu, which is far away from Luoyang.

As for Liu Bei, of course he was buried in Huiling in Chengdu.

After Liu Chan's death, the choice of where to be buried naturally became a top priority. It stands to reason that the emperor's mausoleum was generally built at the beginning of the emperor's succession. Due to the large number of projects, it usually took several years to complete. Sometimes, A certain emperor died early, and he died before the mausoleum could be completed.And it was only a month before and after Liu Chan moved his capital to Luoyang, not to mention the construction of the mausoleum, and even the location of the mausoleum has not been selected.

Therefore, first of all, we had to find a suitable place for Liu Chan. In fact, it was not difficult. I asked the Fengshui master to have a look, and soon found a suitable place to be Liu Chan's mausoleum at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in the northeast of Luoyang.Due to the rush of time, the scale of the mausoleum cannot be too large, so Liu Chan's coffin will be buried first, and the above-ground building of the mausoleum can only be built later.

In real history, Liu Chan was also buried in Luoyang, but he could only be buried in the name of An Legong, but now he is buried in the name of the emperor, there is a world of difference between the two.

After the mausoleum was selected, Liu Chan's posthumous title was determined. The so-called posthumous title is to use one or two words to make a general evaluation of a person's life, which can be regarded as a final conclusion.Xiangwen, Wu, Ming, Rui, Kang, Jing, Zhuang, Xuan, and Yi are all good words, and Emperor Hui is mediocre. For example, Emperor Hui of Han and Emperor Hui of Jin are all incompetent. Emperor Zhi, Emperor Chong, and Emperor Shao They are often ascended to the throne at an early age and died early. Li, Ling, and Yang all have negative meanings, and mourning and thinking are not good words, but they also have a sense of sympathy. ridiculed.

In the Han Dynasty, generally speaking, posthumous titles were relatively fair, unlike later generations, especially after the Song Dynasty, only beautiful posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles and posthumous posthumous posthumous titles were not used.

When the ministers gave Liu Chan a posthumous title, he was really worried. Because there were more emperors in the Han Dynasty, many posthumous titles were taken up, and Liu Chan's life can only be described as mediocre. Discussions come and go, but it is not sure what word to use.

It was Liu Yin who thought of Liu Yuan, the former emperor of Zhao in history, in order to show that he was orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and he pursued Liu Chan as Emperor Xiaohuai.

After Liu Yin proposed it, all the ministers agreed unanimously, thinking that the Huai character was indeed good and in line with Liu Chan's life, so they unanimously determined that Liu Chan was Emperor Xiaohuai.However, this posthumous title has to be announced by the new emperor.

Liu Chen originally planned to wait for Liu Chan to be buried before succeeding to the throne, but Huo Yi, Zhang Shao and others believed that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the world cannot be without a master for a day. Liu Chen should succeed to the throne first, and then have a state funeral.

According to Liu Chen's words, after intense preparations, Liu Chen held a grand enthronement ceremony in the Quefei Hall of Luoyang Nangong on the first day of April, and became the third emperor of Ji Han. The first year of Xingguo, the third year of Dongwu Fenghuang, 274 AD.

Liu Chen succeeded to the throne as emperor and announced amnesty to the world.
