Vol 2 Chapter 1155: Finale (6)

Liu Yi rushed into the palace in one breath.
While standing outside the Xingqing Palace, waiting for the announcement, the head of the blood finally calmed down.
Seeing Emperor Liu Zhao later, what qualifications will he use to question the other party?
Before I could understand, the waiter invited him in.
When I arrived at Zhengyang Hall, I saw that the four princes and daughters were all there, and the empress was also there.
The royal family is gathered today.
Emperor Liu Zhao looked bad and stared at Liu Yi, "I listened to the report from the palace, and you insisted on seeing me, why?"
Liu Yi came back to his senses and hesitated for a moment. "My minister has a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not."
Liu Zhao's eyes were very disgusting, "It's all here, just ask any questions."
With this sentence, Liu Yi immediately summoned his courage.
He asked loudly, "Why did the emperor abdicate? The emperor passed the throne to you back then, instead of asking you to abdicate. Would you be worthy of the emperor by doing this?"
In the hall, everyone was surprised!
What qualifications does Prince Duan have to question your majesty?
Who does he think he is?
Does he think he can represent the first emperor?
Liu Yi didn't care about everyone's attitude, he just wanted an answer.
Liu Zhao sneered, "I will abdicate if I want to abdicate, it's up to you."
The answer is so straightforward.
Liu Yimian flushed, "Yes, it really doesn't matter to the ministers. However, everyone has a question in their hearts. If everyone can't ask for the throne, you give up if you give up. Why on earth?"
"I don't need to explain to you why! If you have no other questions, just get out! I make a decision, when it's your turn to question!"
Liu Zhao was angry, and the palace people did not dare to hesitate, and quickly invited Duanjun Wang Liu Yi out.
Liu Yi was very unwilling, but helpless.
Without Liu Yi, only the royal family remained in the hall.
Liu Yu knelt on the ground, still insisting, "Please take my father back and die! The children can continue to share the worries for my father as a prisoner.
Liu Zhao glanced at him coldly, "You continue to kneel for me."
Liu Yujiang's back was straight and straight, and he knelt upright.
Rong Wang Liu Heng, Lu Wang Liu Li, the two brothers looked like they wanted to persuade but did not dare to speak.
The emperor father was holding his anger, and the two brothers spoke, and it was a cannon fodder.
At this time, Ruyang stood up.
She is so imposing that she doesn't lose to her brother.
She opened the door and asked, "Is your father's body really that serious?"
Gu Jiu exchanged glances with Liu Zhao, and she came forward and replied, "Your father's body is indeed very serious. You need to be treated carefully, not to worry about being tired, to ensure your life span!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several children were wet.
Ruyang wiped the corner of his eyes, "Why did the father and the queen keep silent about the abdication of such a big thing in advance? This morning, when the father decided to abdicate, our brothers were all frightened. No blame for the big brother's repeated pleading with the father. Taken back to his fate. He had just been established by his father as the prince, and he was about to inherit the throne soon. He seemed to be the target of public criticism. I don't know how many people are accusing Big Brother."
"This is a heavy burden he must bear. I can't take it back just because he has become a target."
Liu Zhao's tough attitude is beyond doubt.
"Is the father's abdication only because of physical reasons?" Ruyang asked cautiously.
"Otherwise? Do you think I was forced to abdicate by someone?" After speaking, Liu Zhao laughed himself.
Gu Jiu pulled down his sleeve and turned his mouth on the boss Liu Yu.
There must be more than one person suspecting that Liu Zhao was forced to abdicate.
Presumably, most people in the hall will think in this direction.
Qi Wang Liu Yu, instantly became the biggest suspect.
Even Queen Gu Jiu, courtiers will speculate.
Did the king of Qi unite with the empress and force the emperor to abdicate?
Have the Heavenly Father and Son have turned against each other?
There have always been reasons for emperors to abdicate. Nine times out of ten, they are persecuted.
No wonder the courtiers objected.
It is estimated that there will be rumors of Qi Wang forcing the emperor to abdicate tomorrow.
Liu Yu is not afraid of being blamed, but he cannot bear the charge of forcing his father to abdicate.
In a blink of an eye, Liu Zhao also thought of this.
He pondered for a moment, "The boss got up and stood up to reply."
"Thank you, Father!"
After Liu Yu thanked him, he stood up.
Liu Zhao continued: "I have decided to abdicate, and I will formally issue an edict to abdicate tomorrow. The reason has already been told to you that I am unwell and cannot continue to deal with government affairs. It is time to give up my position."
"Erchen doesn't accept it!" Liu Yu said bluntly.
Liu Zhao pointed at him, "You don't have the right to say no. You have to have this throne, and you have to have it if you don't."
"but……"
"No but!"
Liu Zhao Qiangang is arbitrary.
Ruyang was still courageous, and she asked, "Can't my father really take his life back?"
Liu Zhao solemnly said: "My heart is determined."
Ruyang was silent for a moment, "I will obey the emperor's orders!"
Liu Zhao finally showed a smile.
He was tired and waved away the children.
He sat down wearily, and complained with Gu Jiu: "They don't want to think about how much determination I made before I decided to abdicate. One of the two, both persuaded me to take my life back. Do you know, if I persuade me like this, I It's really possible to change my mind. Really, I don't understand me at all, and I'll add chaos.
"First drink tea to moisturize your throat." Gu Jiu persuaded.
Liu Zhao drank a cup of tea in one breath, and his smoking throat finally improved.
He added: "I thought I decided to abdicate and the courtiers would cheer and congratulate. Unexpectedly, all of them wept bitterly, crying and roaring and let me take my life back. You know, they used to point my nose and curse you. Now My faint monarch is about to abdicate, but they are not happy. You say it is funny or not."
Gu Jiu said: "Once the emperor and the courtier, you will be "fainted by the king", and the monarch and ministers will get along for many years, and they will continue to mess around. The new emperor will soon become a different situation. No one dares to say. Oneself can be reused by the new emperor. Moreover, courtiers like to stick to the rules, and don't like to seek innovation and change."
Everything is done according to the rules, and the days can pass without using your brain.
Today will change, tomorrow will be changed, and people have to be upset and adapt to the new rules again.
For courtiers, it was really annoying.
Why abdicate?
It makes people panic.
It's better to be an emperor and die, when His Royal Highness Qi will be able to ascend to the throne and proclaim the emperor in a fair manner. There is one less procedure for abdication, which means a lot of trouble.
Of course, this is the idea of ​​the old minister.
Young and middle-aged officials are eager to seek innovation and change.
Only when changes come will they have a chance to take the lead.
Otherwise, I don’t know how long to wait until the veterans above will pay for their retirement.
Liu Zhao said with emotion: "I didn't just want to abdicate. This is how many people disliked me. Even the fourth child dared to go to the palace to question me. This is really unreasonable."
Gu Jiu laughed and said, "The fourth child is unconvinced! He couldn't ask for the throne, but you give up and give up, and his mind is uncomfortable."
Liu Zhao completely disliked Liu Yi, "That's because he is small! Holding a thing, he wouldn't let it go until he died. His eyes were fixed on the one-third acre land in front of him, and he never knew how to look at the world. How big is the world," There is not only the Great Zhou, not only the Western Regions, but also the Southeast Asia! With so much land, population, and minerals, why didn't he want to go and see?
In the past, I promoted the grassland overseas development plan. I have thought that if the fourth child had the courage to go out to the sea to be the king, I would give him soldiers and horses, give him money, lay a place for him, and make him a prince king. But he has never had this idea, after all, he just can't afford everything. "
Gu Jiu said: "Life in the capital is rich and comfortable, life abroad is hard, everything has to be started from scratch. And since ancient times, people have been afraid to go to sea. In the past, people who had no way out, and those who wanted to make a living, would go to sea.
To go out to sea to enclose land, one must have courage or be forced to a dead end. The fourth one doesn't account for either, you can't force him to go out to sea to enclose land. Life in the capital is going well, who is willing to give up.
You see, the children sent overseas by major families are all marginal figures who are not valued. These people stand up to the reputation of aristocratic children, but they have no way out. They can only go overseas and have a future. Anyone who can find an errand in the capital will not choose to go to sea. So, don't criticize the fourth child! "
"Why do you always speak for him?" Liu Zhao was dissatisfied.
Gu Jiu gave him a white look, "I'm worried that you and the fourth child will quarrel again at this juncture, adding to the trouble."
Liu Zhao waved his hand, "I won't be as knowledgeable as him! He is squeamish by his mother and can't bear hardship. I care about him, and I was off by him many years ago."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "They all say that the eldest brother is the father! You eldest brother, you look a bit stylish."
"Of course!" Liu Zhao's face was sore!
...
Without waiting for the rumors to spread, Liu Zhao directly issued an abdication edict the next morning, and at the same time issued an imperial decree enshrining Qi Wang Liu Yu as the Crown Prince.
Ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to pick a day and get things done.
The Ministry of Rites is crying!
There is no precedent to refer to!
For more than two hundred years, no emperor chose to abdicate.
Emperor Jingming Liu Zhao also set a precedent.
It can be said that there is no one who has come before.
Officials of the Ministry of Rites, buried their heads in Lantai Temple.
Going through all historical materials, trying to find the legitimacy and etiquette regulation of abdication from the ancient records.
How can such a major event as abdication be hastily. Of course, it must be carried out in accordance with strict etiquette.
Like the emperor ascending to the throne, every step must be carried out in accordance with etiquette.
The Dalantai Temple was occupied by dozens of people from the Ministry of Rites.
Flip the book every day!
As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I went to Lantai Temple to read the book. Turned over until it was dark and locked.
Zhongshu made Yang Ji look down.
An official of the Ministry of Rites pointed out a clear path, "Go to Shanhe Academy to ask Sanyuan Gong. Sanyuan Gong reads books all over the world. The library of Shanhe Academy is said to have collected many orphaned and fragmented books, which may be rewarding."
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette had something to mention. With a gift, he hurried to the Shanhe Academy for advice.
Asking Sanyuan Gong, I found the right person.
In recent years, in addition to teaching students to publish books, Sanyuangong has been busy reading books all over the world.
It really told him to learn about the rules of etiquette for the emperor's abdication from a certain scrap.
The Book of Rites was overjoyed.
There are laws to follow, courtesy to follow, and abdication can be done.
You don't need the Qintian Supervisor, you can directly find Renqiu Ren Dashen Cudgel to count your life.
The abdication is scheduled for the third day of April, and the enthronement is scheduled for April 18!
The two days, including the specific time and position, were calculated by Ren Qiu himself, absolutely correct.
Set a date, and start to set etiquette!
The Ministry of Rites, including Shaofu, was so busy that they could not wait for one person to act as two people.
The Ministry of Rites is busy and has to pay attention to the movement of the court.
Other yamen, abandoning the Ministry of Rites, make noise every day.
The royal family members, high-ranking officials and nobles, went to the palace every day to persuade the emperor Liu Zhao to take back his life.
If you are in poor health, you don't have to abdicate!
How troublesome to abdicate!
Liu Zhao stayed on the throne for a few more years, and the veterans could also enjoy a few more years.
Liu Zhao was so troubled that he ran to Xiaozhu behind closed doors.
How angry the courtiers!
Huangdi Liuzhao, as always, did not enter the oil and salt, Quan said that he would not listen, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The young and middle-aged officials were silent.
Before officially taking office, everyone was very low-key.
So as not to get in the eyes of some people. Was beaten to the end.
Waiting until the first day of April, two days before the official abdication, the two emperors and empresses returned to the palace from Xiaozhu.
Gu Jiu asked him, "I will officially abdicate in two days. Do you regret it? If you regret it, it is still too late at this time."
Liu Zhao hesitated for a moment, "I really regret it! I completely let go of my authority, and I will inevitably have a lot of reluctance in my heart. But I will not change my decision."
"If you don't change your mind, I will ask someone to arrange a boat. When the boss becomes the emperor, we will play in the mountains and rivers south. I have ordered people to find a singer in the south of the Yangtze River, and then I will sing an authentic song for you."
"Really?" Liu Zhao smiled openly.
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Just sing a little song, don't think too much!"
"I didn't think about anything, it's clear that you wronged me." Liu Zhao was also wronged.
Gu Jiu: Ha ha!
