Huan Rong

The abdication ceremony was presided over by Xi Yin.

When Sima Yaoyuanfu got married, the officials avoided the guest seat for fear of not being able to, and shirked it with various excuses, just because they didn't want to stand beside the emperor.

When Huan Rong ascended the throne, the situation became completely different.Rao Ximin, it took a lot of effort to win the first place, "grab" the treasure book from Xie An and Wang Biao, and become the one who read it.

The Zen Rang Terrace was built outside Taicheng, surrounded by generals and soldiers. The wooden steps leading to the top of the platform are numbered ninety-five, which symbolizes the meaning of respecting heaven.

On both sides of the royal road, civil and military men are all dressed in court clothes, and stand in front of the platform.

Several skin drums were set up under the stage.

The surface of the drum is painted with simple patterns, and the supporting wooden frames are all painted with red lacquer and wrapped in silk.

Several palace guards stood under the drums in armor, while more than a dozen strong men held drum hammers and swung them vigorously.The sound of drums rumbled, shaking the eardrums.

Dian Kui and Xu Chao pulled the reins at the same time, the horse snorted, and the big rein slowly stopped.Huan Rong stepped down from the shaft of the chariot on the wooden stool, holding the jade gui, and walked towards the high platform made of wood and stone.

Sima Yao, dressed in plain dark clothes and wearing a black cloth crown, stood solemnly under the stage.Seeing Huan Rong, he bowed his hands first.Huan Rong turned to return the gift.

The two stepped on the wooden steps one after the other, and climbed to the high place with the sound of drums.

Xi Yin followed closely behind the two with the treasure book in hand, his back straightened like a pine.Xie An was in the fourth place, holding the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in his hand, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look more elegant and unrestrained.

Wang Biaozhi failed to board the abdication platform, and stayed under the platform with his ministers.Watching the backs of several people, bowing to the sound of drums, an inexplicable restlessness welled up in my heart.

Wang Biaozhi slightly lowered his eyelids to cover up the flickering dark light.He clenched his hands tightly, but he still couldn't suppress his sudden ambition.

One day, the Langya Wang Clan will return to its former glory.

When that day comes, he will no longer be behind Xi Fanghui and Xie Anshi!

Climbing to a high place, Huan Rong looked down at the audience, and inexplicably had a strange thought: fortunately, he is not afraid of heights.If the two parties who handed over power and the minister who presided over the ceremony have a fear of heights, then the fun will be great.

There is a low couch on the top of the platform, and Huan Rong sits facing south.Sima Yao took the Chuanguo Yuxi from Xie An, held it up in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Huan Rong.

Xi Yin unfolded the bamboo slips and read out loudly.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling drums, the sound hovered down from mid-air, with a special solemnity and solemnity.

"The way of great practice is that the world is for the public..."

Listening to the ups and downs of reading, Huan Rong suddenly became distracted, looking at the clear blue sky, a few wisps of cloud seemed to be within reach.

The breeze blows, and the consciousness drifts away with the wind.

"Your Majesty, please accept the jade seal."

Xi Yin closed the bamboo slips and took half a step back.Xie An stepped forward and reminded Huan Rong to go through a procedure.

Huan Rong regained consciousness hastily, shook his fingers, calmed down for a moment, stood up and saluted, and took the jade seal from Sima Yao.The seal is carved from a whole piece of jade, and it is said to be the most precious treasure and the jade.Under sunlight, it emits a warm luster.

"Shouxi!"

Just when a gust of wind blew, the red hem and black long sleeves bulged.The sun shines from the top of the head, reflecting the five-color treasures on the bright skin.

The light was distorted, and the vision instantly became blurred.

For a while, Huan Rong couldn't see or hear clearly, he just felt his feet stepping on the cotton wool, his heart beating like a drum, one after another, the shock made his forehead swell and hurt.

Knowing that he was not nervous, Huan Rong closed his eyes forcefully, opened them again, dispelled the fog in front of him, and took a step forward.

Standing on a high platform with a long body, the hem of the long-sleeved clothes flutters in the wind.The sun shines on the colorful treasures and the gold threads on the sleeves, the whole person seems to be shrouded in a halo, and Junyi looks like a banished fairy.

After an unknown amount of time, the people watching the ceremony shouted "Long Live", the mountains and the earth trembled like a tsunami.

The civil and military officials on both sides of the royal road raised their arms, bowed down solemnly, and performed the courtesy of courtiers.

The drums sounded again, the frequency was slightly slower, and the sound was louder. There were bursts of ancient rhythms, intertwined and entangled into an invisible giant dragon, with five claws flashing cold light, and roared while taking advantage of the situation, and shot straight into the sky in an instant.

The sky was as clear as blue, and the whistling wind clusters were like ancient dragon chants.

The fate of the dynasty and the suffering of the troubled times changed completely from this moment.

Stepping off the abdication platform, Huan Rong boarded the carriage again, and all the officials surrounded the new emperor and entered the main platform city.

People lined the road, flowers and silk covered the stone road.

The music keeps ringing, old rhythms mixed with new songs, accompanied by the girl's crisp singing, drawing a beautiful picture that never changes.

People say that the troubled times are miserable, but in this era of wars and smoke, the heroism and perseverance of the Chinese ancestors are still immortal.

Fortitude and enthusiasm are deeply reflected in the long river of time, leaving behind scenes of memorable scenes.It flows quietly with the river, and finally sinks to the bottom of the river for future generations to imagine and recall.

Da Lu walked through the imperial road and entered Taicheng.

So far, only two-thirds of the abdication ceremony has been completed.

Huan Rong needs to go to the Taiji Hall to change the crown, and he is promoted to the hall to be worshiped by all officials.The entire procedure will come to an end when the Royal Highness issues the imperial edict to change the yuan and amnesty.

Afterwards, Huan Rong had to chase after his father and ancestors, worship the ancestral hall, offer sacrifices to the suburbs, canonize hundreds of officials, except for the old country of the Sima clan, and distribute the Huan clan members.Counting one by one, at least for three months, he will be so busy that he won't have any free time.

But this kind of busyness has nothing to do with state affairs!

Thinking about it is helpless.

It's a pity that the rules are like this and cannot be easily changed.Huan Rong could only grit his teeth and try to shorten the time on the details, regardless of whether the officials had opinions, he would never give in on one point!

What should be done is the same, just cut out unnecessary and complicated details, and shorten two days to half a day.You can't pick all kinds of faults because of his "high efficiency", right?

After making up his mind, on the first day he took the throne, Huan Rong displayed a concise and efficient work style. The edict was simple and clear, and eunuchs were not used to reading it out.

"Change next year to the first year of Taiyuan, and amnesty the world."

There is only one sentence in the whole imperial decree, and there are twelve characters in full type.

The ministers were a little confused.

This is very different from the content drafted by the three provinces. It is too concise, and almost [-]% of it has been cut off.

Huan Rong didn't take it seriously, it would be a waste of time to add seven or eight sentences to something that can be solved in one sentence.To waste time is to waste life, life is very precious, he has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to argue about unimportant things.

The matter of changing the Yuan Dynasty was confirmed, and Huan Rong took out a second imperial edict.

The content is equally concise, enshrining Sima Yao as the king of Chenliu, not moving Linhai County, but changing to stay in Jiankang.In addition to the old country, all the kings of the Sima clan were reduced to lords, leaving no tigers, only ten guards, and Jiankang will be restored soon.The princesses of the counties descended to the county masters, and the deceased did not change their titles.

"Pursuing and respecting the ancestors as Emperor Xuanwu, respecting the mother as the Empress Dowager."

"Confer uncle Huo the title of Nanping King, and uncle Chong the title of Xunyang King."

Except for Huan Chong and Huan Huo, Huan Rong did not make any member of the Huan clan king, nor did he have any elder brothers.

According to Huan Chong and Huan Huo's intentions, the Sima family's defense ministers in the early Jin Dynasty distributed the titles to the princes and kings, and ordered them to control the military power. This was the reason for the subsequent Eight Kings Rebellion.

Although it is said that Empress Jia is the fuse, the root cause is the princes and kings in charge of soldiers.If there is no military power, there will be no chaos at all.

The fact that the Huan family is united today does not mean that it will be the same in the future.

From a gentry to a royal family, the status has changed, and it is difficult to guarantee that the hearts of the people will remain the same.

Huan Huo and Huan Chong have experienced sophistication many times, they have gone through officialdom and battlefields, and they are well aware of the unpredictable people's hearts, and they understand the power of them.Therefore, before Huan Rong ascended the throne, the two sent people to send letters one after another, asking him to act cautiously, even if he cared about his clansmen, he should not distribute the titles arbitrarily, so as not to cause hidden dangers.

"Even if you want to be awarded a title, you should judge it based on your military exploits and political achievements. If you have no merit or incompetence, it is enough to have a job."

If he hadn't been worried that Huan Rong had just ascended the throne, his foothold was still unstable, and there was no leader who could be completely trusted, Huan Chong even wanted to hand over the Beifu army.

This is by no means acting, it is entirely due to temperament.

In history, Huan Chong once helped Xie An regardless of past suspicions.Now, if it's my own nephew, I won't have too much hesitation.

Knowing the thoughts of the two uncles, Huan Rong could not help but sigh with emotion.

After deliberating for a long time, from the perspective of the two, I wrote a reply letter, solemnly telling the two uncles that what they were worried about would not happen.And it is revealed between the lines that he has the ambition to unify the north and the south, and when it is done, he will further expand the territory.At that time, I am not afraid that there will be no place to seal.

In a word, don't just focus on the present, but look to the future.

What is the plan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

In the future, we will wipe out the thieves and cross China, and punch at the same time on land and sea. The territory that needs to be stationed is absolutely not small, and I am afraid that there will be not enough manpower.

"If the people of the tribe want to use it, Wang Xie and other high-ranking sects will also use it."

At the end of the letter, Huan Rong revealed another meaning: the two uncles are in their prime of life, so they might as well have more children.At that time, he will be cultivated into talents, and he can take over the mantle of his father and brother and contribute to the Han Dynasty.

Seeing this line of words, Huan Huo and Huan Chong were silent for a while.

Thinking that I misunderstood, Huan Rong's behavior should not be so "out of tune".

But after reading it over and over again, it's the same thing.

In the end, both of them put down the letter, sighed, shook their heads and laughed.For this nephew, I have a new understanding again.

Huan Shiqian and Huan Shixiu received a letter from their father, and the former quickly wrote a reply, expressing that he had no objection to this decision.In fact, compared to being a vassal king and doing nothing all day in sealing the country, he is more willing to lead troops to fight outside, drive out bandits, protect the people, and expand the territory.

Huan Shixiu also raised his hands in agreement, but said in his reply that Huan Qian and Huanxiu are all talented and learning, and as they get older, they should be able to entrust Jiangzhou government affairs.

In this way, he will be free.

After everything is arranged properly, can I go to the Western Regions with Huan Si?He was very yearning for the ancient Silk Road and the desert scenery, and wanted to see it with his own eyes.It doesn't matter if you don't become an official, but you can also be a businessman.

To this, Huan Chong's answer was just two words: No!

Huan Shimin was busy taking over the government affairs in Longxi and other places, and he was very busy all day long.

After reading his father's letter, Huan Shimin didn't even think about it, and wrote back immediately: He is not interested in princes and kings at all.On the contrary, I was so busy that I hit the back of my head with my feet, so I couldn't do what I wanted.

When can you send a few brothers to share the burden?

He hadn't slept fully for more than half a month.The man has become so skinny that everyone in the management office suspects that he secretly eats cold food and does not "share" it with everyone.

In this regard, Huan Shimin couldn't tell.He was short of breath, his whole body exuded cold air, and his whole body had a tendency to transform into a "cruel official".

Compared with Huan Huo's sons, Huan Chong's son is much more "normal".

Huan Si has already prepared his luggage and is ready to leave for Liangzhou at any time.

After reading Huan Chong's letter, Huan Si frowned, took up a pen and wrote a reply letter, expressing in every word, how can a father not trust his son so much?

Princes?

He never thought about it!

His ambition is to imitate the flying generals of the Han Dynasty and lead troops to guard the frontier fortresses so that bandits dare not invade south.Now it is changed to the Western Regions. Although the place has changed, the ambition remains the same.At the right time, we must send troops to let the bandits know how powerful they are.

Hearing that Xihai County is close to the grassland, he really wanted to be stationed there.

Go to Jiuquan if you don't defend the West Sea, you can still fight a few times.

"I heard that there are barbarians in the far west, and they don't know how to educate them. The officials want to open up frontiers, and my son is willing to be a pioneer!"

Huan Chong was a little worried when he received Huan Si's letter.

This son, who should have been the most reassuring, suddenly made him feel uneasy.

Such a belligerent, will lead troops "go out every three days?"

I'm really worried.

The Huanchong and Huanhuo families behaved like this, even if the Huan clan had thoughts, they dared not show it for a moment.

Huan Mi was not crowned king, so he was still unhappy at first, drank all day long, and gradually became cynical.

Unexpectedly, a letter written by Fan Ning, inviting him to build the academy together, and saying that it was the intention of the officials, immediately cheered him up.All dissatisfaction was forgotten, and people packed up and saluted, prepared carriages and horses, and rushed to Jiangzhou to meet Fan Ning.

What is a title?

As Fan Ning said in his letter, following the example of a sage in running a school and educating the people will make it more famous for generations to come!

The Huan clan's problems were not serious, with Huan Chong and Huan Huo suppressing them, almost no one dared to make a fuss.

In contrast, the enfeoffment of hundreds of officials requires careful consideration and caution.

According to prior considerations, the prime minister is naturally Xi Yin, who cannot be shaken by thunder.As for Da Sima, Taifu, Taiwei, Taibao and Cheqi General, etc., they need to be carefully considered.

There are also assassins from Youzhou and Yuzhou, who must be able to entrust trust.

Youzhou is the foundation of Huan Rong's fortune, and he must not make any mistakes until he succeeds in attracting the nobles to look west and north.

For this reason, Huan Rong had a headache for several days, discussed several times with Jia Bing and Xunyou, and even asked Xi Yin's opinion before finalizing the list and promulgating it to the court.

When Huan Rong was busy appointing an official, Qin Jing had already led his troops to Xihe.Eight thousand cavalry were stationed outside the city, and only 200 people followed him into the city.

After entering the city, Qin Jing didn't go to see Qin Ce immediately, but rode his horse and swung his whip to the east of the city where the gentry and officials lived.Finding the target, he pulled the reins abruptly, took off the longbow from the horse's back, bent the bow and set an arrow, and amidst the buzzing sound, the arrow hit the plaque on the gate of the mansion.

The strength is astounding.

After a few breaths, the arrow tail was still trembling.

Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Fuzhong.

The concierge took a look, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and reported quickly.Not long after, the door opened from the inside, and servants and guards came out in a file, each holding a murder weapon, glaring at Qin Jing and the others.

A little while later, a handsome middle-aged man in a long robe and a kerchief in his hair came out.Seeing Qin Jing, his complexion changed suddenly, and he was about to speak, but saw Qin Jing draw his bow again, and the point of the arrow pointed straight at his face.

"What does General Qin mean?" the man frowned.

"What do you mean?" Qin Jing sneered, glanced at the servants of various families who were probing their heads, and slowly said two words, "Kill!"
