When the great Han was in danger, there would always be someone from the descendants of Emperor Gaozu who would stand up bravely to share the worries of the great Han emperor and continue the Han dynasty.

In April of the same year, Huangfu Song, the famous general of the Han Dynasty, led an army of more than [-] people to defeat the [-] Qiang and Di rebels of the Kingdom in Chencang, and then drove straight for thousands of miles. Hu people's rebellion.

This is a long-lost victory. Huangfusong not only proved to Liu Hong that he is not old, but also proved to the people of the world that the big man is not old.

This dynasty, which lasted for more than four hundred years, is still a long way from his deathbed. The Xiongnu, Xianbei and other ministries sent servants to Beijing to face the saint as soon as they heard the news, so that the soldiers of the big man would not be defeated. will fall on them at will.

All of a sudden, as news of good news spread frequently on the east and west sides of the Han Dynasty, and all the rebels were wiped out, in the hinterland of the river, the weather was smooth and the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful.

Some good people even pointed out that after the big man has experienced a series of internal chaos and passed it safely, in the next period of time, the whole country will get a good living environment from the bureaucrats to the merchants and common people. Some people even imagine how stable and beautiful life will be in the future.

It's just a pity that Liu Hong can't see these kinds of things.

189 was also the year when the imperial power of the entire Han Dynasty completely collapsed. Just after the news of the great victory on the border between the two sides was transmitted back to the Luoyang Palace, Liu Hong, the No. 20 emperor of the Han Dynasty and the last emperor with power in his hands, finally As if letting go of the worries in his heart, he died of illness in the Jiade Hall of the South Imperial Palace in Luoyang.

This death, the authority of the great man who was barely supported by his personal majesty, collapsed into debris in an instant, and at the same time officially announced the future of China, entering a new chapter.

……

"This...how can you say that you are dead...shouldn't you be dead?"

……

In the Marquis' Mansion in Lujiang, Zhang Yan held a letter from the palace in his hand, looking at the little eunuch who came to deliver the letter, his face was full of disbelief.

Beside him, Qiao Ying and others were also dressed in plain clothes. Although they didn't feel too sad, they still had serious faces.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty... or the Chinese etiquette, the world is the world of the emperor, and all the nobles are the brothers and nephews of the emperor, and they are the people who manage the land of the world in place of the emperor.

Before the emergence of the [-]th-class military merit award system in the Qin Dynasty, all the so-called earls, viscounts, and even princes and nobles were all direct or collateral blood relatives of the emperor. Inner respect.

As we all know, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, so the award of titles also continued the military merits of the Qin Dynasty. Not all nobles were brothers and sisters of the emperor.

For example, Zhang Yan, or the Changsha prefect who was also awarded martial arts honors, and Wu Chenghou Sun Jian, these are not required to keep filial piety for the emperor.

Just the etiquette thing... most people like to go back to the source.

For example, the wedding of the poor follows Han rituals, the rich follow Zhou rituals, and the nobles follow Xia rituals, all out of this idea.

Unlike Sun Jian, a pure reckless man, Zhang Yan has always been committed to improving his reputation, so naturally he will not miss this opportunity.

Using the pretext of "the former emperor called the adult his father, he is our elder brother", he did what he should and shouldn't do, and he did it all in a mess, only hoping to leave it to the literati in the world. A little good impression.

After waved away the little eunuch who delivered the letter, Zhang Yan didn't regain his composure until a few hours had passed, but looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it.

……

It's not that Liu Hong's death is such an unacceptable thing, but for Zhang Yan, he has already successfully continued Liu Hong's life through the miraculous effect of the system, so Liu Hong's death is so hasty now, it is really It brought him a slight sense of absurdity and frustration.

How long has it been...?

It's only July!

Even without Zhang Yan's intervention, according to official history records, Liu Hong did not die until mid-April in 189.This is equivalent to his own operation, and he only extended Liu Hong's life for less than three months.

Not only Zhang Yan, but because the news of Liu Hong's death was very sudden and strange, many people were caught off guard by the news. Among them, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu The only state shepherd of the Han Dynasty suffered the most obvious impact.

That's all for Liu Yan, who is calm by nature and doesn't like to make publicity. Liu Yu even released the news directly, saying that something went wrong in the Han Dynasty court. Therefore, it is bound to be the side of the Qing emperor, and the Jingguo is difficult, so that the Great Han dynasty can be reorganized.

……

Leaving aside the reaction from all parties caused by Liu Hong's death, in short, this person cannot be resurrected after death, and everything about the big man must continue.

According to official historian records, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty has been in power for more than 12 years since he succeeded to the throne at the age of 20. This is already an emperor who has been in power for a long time in the entire early history of China.

Due to the mixed political measures during his reign, after discussions among the people, his posthumous title was finally determined as a spiritual word.Coupled with the beginning of the word "filial piety" that every emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty must carry, Liu Hong's posthumous title of "Emperor Xiaoling" in the Han Dynasty was finally determined.

Don't think that "ling" is a good word. In the original meaning of Chinese characters, "ling" does not represent the positive meaning of "smart" and "dexterous", but a synonym for "fickle" and "capricious".

Determining Liu Hong's posthumous title as "Emperor Xiaoling" is actually telling people in later generations in disguise that Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was a capricious, faint and tyrant, and he did not make any decent moves at all.

Of course, these historians' evaluations of Liu Hong are still very biased: Even if you don't mention the harsh environment in which you are in power, Liu Hong has made very good achievements in literature and rectifying the official system.

It's just that when I got older, I became lazy again...

……

I have worked hard for a big man all my life, and I will have fun when I am old, so why not? .jpg

This is the true portrayal of Liu Hong.

Chapter 59 Someone, take him down for me!

All in all, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong is dead, and this is a reality that no one can change.It's just that although the other person is gone, it has left a big mess for today's big man.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. Now that Liu Hong has passed away, according to the rules, the next step is for the new king to ascend the throne, step by step to remove his own obstacles to governing, and finally sway himself on the land of the big man.

Just like what happened countless years ago.

It is a pity that even Liu Hong has two direct bloodlines, but he never made a crown prince for the big man during his lifetime.

In other words, Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, and Liu Xie, the youngest son of the emperor, have exactly the same priorities and qualifications for ascension to the throne, which made it difficult for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

……

According to normal practice, when the emperor died, the first heir should be his eldest son, who is now King Hongnong Liu Bian.

But just like what Liu Hong said before his death, although Liu Bian was the eldest son, his face was frivolous and imposing, and he was really not a suitable material to be an emperor.

And if it's not impossible to establish a virtuous man but not a long man...it's not impossible.

At the beginning, Liu Hong had indeed expressed to outsiders many times that he had the idea of ​​passing the throne to Liu Xie. From this point of view, it is reasonable to make Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, the emperor.

It's just that, again...how could this big man's Manchu civil and military skills be so easy to answer?

He Jin, who is so powerful, would not give up the position of emperor to others so easily.

……

"drive!"

……

"drive!"

……

With a strong swing of the horsewhip, He Jin was galloping on the streets of Luoyang at this moment.

He was still busy competing with Zhang Rang today, but after hearing the news of Liu Hong's sudden death, he hurried towards the palace immediately.

Not only the governors and prefects of the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty, but even He Jin, the general who was sitting firmly in Beijing, was really shocked by the news of Liu Hong's death.

According to He Jin's arrangement, Liu Hong should have died a few months ago...

With the help of his younger sister Empress He, He Jin has given Liu Hong many so-called longevity-prolonging "Taoist pills" over the years, in order to boil Liu Hong to death as soon as possible so that the young Liu Bian can be put on the throne .

As long as Liu Hong dies, then he and his younger sister He can use their identities as the emperor's uncle and queen mother to further control the court and grasp greater power and power.

It's just that I don't know what went wrong... Originally, according to the alchemist, Liu Hong, who was supposed to die suddenly after this year, had to wait until Xia Tian to usher in the end of his life.

……

"Damn it, never die sooner or later, but die at this juncture!"

"Zhang Yang and the others went south to recruit troops and haven't returned yet, and Jian Shuo's Xiyuan Imperial Army has just expanded its army. This is clearly stuck at a time when I least want to do something and forced Zhang Rang and I to turn our heads!"

"It's really bad luck!"

Cursing Liu Hong bitterly in his heart, He Jin's expression was gloomy and scary at the moment.His original arrangements were arranged according to the time point half a year ago. After nothing happened to Liu Hong half a year ago, he found an excuse to kill the alchemist who offered the medicine, and at the same time, he felt a little dormant.

It is not an exaggeration to say that during this period of time, He Jin has even forgotten his intention to take the initiative to poison Liu Hong, and he is mentally prepared to continue to struggle with Zhang Rang.

It's just that God failed to fulfill his wish:

Liu Hong didn't die when he wanted Liu Hong to die, and when he wanted Liu Hong to live longer, Liu Hong didn't wait for him for a day.

He was still eating hot pot and singing this morning, but before he woke up from his nap, an eunuch stumbled into the General's mansion and told him the news of Liu Hong's death.

Let's just die this time... If it was an ordinary emperor, even if his death would have a certain impact on the country, it wouldn't make He Jin anxious like this.

The reason why He Jin is in a hurry to enter the palace now is not because Liu Hong has lived up to his posthumous title of "Emperor Xiaoling" at all, and played a trick of capriciousness before his death?

……

"Where is that guy Jian Shuo?"

"How long will it take us to get near the palace now?"

After waving the horsewhip in his hand again, He Jin's face was now covered with fine sweat, which was almost suffocated into a faint black purple.

Behind him, there are several young men dressed as waiters, and they all gallop behind He Jin on horses.

"General, Xiaowei Jian should still be in the palace at this moment. Since the news of the late emperor's death came out, our brothers immediately sealed off all the exits of the imperial city, and we are always on the lookout for anyone who appears from the imperial city." Suspicious person."

"Now we have arrived at the north of the city, as long as we go two miles ahead at the intersection in front, we will be the gate of the imperial city."

"The specific situation may not be clear until you meet Jian Shuo, General."

……

"drive!"

……

Just like what the waiter said, only Jian Shuo, one of the ten regular waiters, knows best what the situation was like at that time.

According to the news from He Jin's spies in the palace, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, stayed behind closed doors all day today and saw no one. Waiting beside him.

If there is any secret behind Liu Hong's death, Jian Shuo should be the one who knows the most. He Jin must find him, and he must find him before the rest of the Ten Attendants.

Not only because he wanted to understand the situation at the time, but as a staunch supporter and supporter of the Lichang faction, what He Jin was most worried about was that Liu Hong felt that his time was approaching, and before he died, he would explain something wrong to Jian Shuo. Very fitting thing.

For example, Lixian, Lixian, and Lixian.

If Liu Hong really left any message or edict to Jian Shuo, even if He Jin risked dissatisfaction with this kind of thing, he must grab it in his hands before everyone else.

Once Zhang Rang and others among the Ten Permanent Attendants got Liu Hong's last edict...then according to He Jin's understanding of them, the next step might be to call on all civil and military officials in the court to dismiss and kill himself, the former court official. The world's soldiers and horses are the generals.

……

"Open the door! Quick!"

"I am General He Jin. I have come to the palace to discuss matters with Empress He. Please open the door for me quickly. If you miss important matters, then you will be welcome!"
