[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Holding the crown ceremony is very particular.

First of all, choose an auspicious day, which has been predicted in advance, and it is set on December [-]th.

The crowning place is Jongmyo Shrine.

Naturally, Lujiang County will not have the ancestral temple of the Han royal family, but it is not difficult to build the ancestral temple.

As early as Ling Han returned to Lujiang from Jiujiang and designated this place as the base camp of his forces, the construction of the ancestral temple had already begun.

The day of December seventeenth.

Zheng Xuan walked ahead, leading Ling Han into the ancestral temple.Use the tribute prepared in advance to pay homage to the emperors of heaven, earth and the Han Dynasty.

Afterwards, Zheng Xuan crowned Ling Han three times in turn, each with three different hats.

One is a black cloth crown, made of black linen, which means that from now on you will be able to participate in political affairs legally; The crown, with black in the red, means that from now on it can preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

When Ling Han first learned the specific meaning of the three hats, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Because of these things, I have already done too much, and no one has ever felt that there is any problem.

But when Zheng Xuan solemnly crowned him, countless civil servants and generals below watched solemnly.

Ling Han found that he was also infected by this atmosphere.

The previous actions were special measures in a special period.

And from this moment on, he was truly an adult prince recognized politically in this feudal era.

After crowning, the word should be able to be taken.

Since Ling Han had already taken his name, he skipped this step, and Zheng Xuan began to read out his congratulations to Ling Han.

The so-called congratulatory remarks are undoubtedly just such clichés.

Coming from the 21st century, Ling Han has long been used to hearing this, and is very good at using such words to encourage his soldiers.

But at this moment, he was kneeling on the cattail mat, looking up at the tablets of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and what Zheng Xuan read was related to the Han Dynasty.

Ling Han suddenly had an illusion in his heart.

Han Lingdi is no longer just a faint emperor on the pages of history books, but also a father.

He seems to be the eldest son of the emperor.The revival of the Han Dynasty was not only for self-protection, but also for the protection of the common people. It was also something he had to do for the sake of the clan.

This illusion did not last long.

When Zheng Xuan finished reading the congratulatory speech, Ling Han suddenly came back to his senses.

A coronation ceremony that I hadn't thought about before had such a strange effect, as if it was trying to brainwash people.

Prospering the Han Dynasty is something that I must work hard to achieve, but it will not be for the glory of Liu's surname.

After the crowning ceremony, a banquet is required to entertain guests.

As for the crowning of the prince, if the emperor intends to make the prince the crown prince, or simply loves the prince very much, it is very likely that he will pardon the world for him.

Before the official crowning ceremony, Zheng Xuan made a hint to Ling Han.

Ling Han will definitely be the emperor in the future, so it is best to pardon some people as appropriate for this coronation.In this way, you can show your subordinates your determination to compete in the Central Plains and ascend to the throne, and the power of the dragon will strengthen their loyalty and enthusiasm; at the same time, you can also show your benevolence to all the people under your rule.

As for which type of person to pardon, it is not that important, His Highness can decide for himself.

Ling Han finally decided to pardon all the prisoners who were imprisoned for the crime of disrespect.

The monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son are almost the most stubborn in feudal thought.

Ling Han naturally can't get rid of this kind of thinking now, and in fact he can't get rid of it in one step right now——

From a scientific point of view, when the monarch is a wise monarch, the administrative efficiency of the feudal monarchy is actually very high.

Ling Han thought that with 2000 years of experience in later generations, he should still be able to be a wise emperor in the feudal era.

Conversely, if in such troubled times, the ideas of democracy really emerge in the states and counties under the rule, then there will probably be big troubles.

Of course, this itself is also impossible.

Even if Ling Han successfully taught the public how to question, it is impossible for the public to question. The one who taught them to question is Ling Han himself.

However, since sooner or later this concept of inequality must be eliminated.

So from now on, let the people gradually realize that committing a crime of disrespect does not necessarily mean they will be beheaded.

After hearing Ling Han's decision, everyone had different reactions.

Most of them are incomprehensible.

Previously, Ling Han lowered taxes to an unprecedented level, so that the harvested grain from land reclamation was equivalent to all given to the people of Yangzhou.

At that time, many scholars were puzzled.

From a certain point of view, the loss of His Highness alone is no less than the loss of the family.

Although they don't know the specific numbers as clearly as Zhang Zhao, they can more or less guess.

And the incomprehension at this moment is obviously deeper than the original one.

Mencius's idea that the people are more important than the monarch is despised, and everyone in the family has learned it.Being good to the people naturally has far-reaching significance.

For example, the second emperor Wenjing was famous for his compassion for the common people.

But this crime of disrespect is completely different.

This is the most unpardonable sin of all kings.

If such a person is forgiven, it is to convey one thing to the world: the authority of the emperor can be offended.

This is a provocation to the divine right of kings.

The biggest loser is Ling Han himself.

But even if they couldn't understand it, none of the many scholars present objected.

What came to their minds was a sentence from Xuzhou——

"If you can figure out why His Highness did this, then you are His Highness too?"

This is from the Donghai school grounds.The audience of this sentence is too wide, and it is too magical.

It was soon brought to Yangzhou with the soldiers of the East China Sea, and then spread from the army of Yangzhou to ordinary people, and finally scholars.

That's right, since His Highness escaped from the palace, he has done so many famous events.

Ask yourself, if you change places, is there one thing they can do?

The food was distributed to the people, but they couldn't understand it at the time.

But later, as His Highness sold white sugar and held some group arenas, didn't he gradually show his brilliance?

At this moment, it is another old thing repeating itself.

The intention of His Highness's move probably took a long time before they could comprehend the subtlety of it.

Of course, not everyone can understand.

People like Yang Zhen, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu and others had already expected Ling Han's list of pardons, and they didn't show any doubts.

Beside Ling Han, Zheng Xuan was thoughtful.

He knew a little more about King Changsha.

After the crowning ceremony is completely over.

Ling Han began to think, adulthood is a big deal, besides pardoning prisoners, maybe he should do something else.

For example, attacking Yuan Shu next door can be put on the agenda.

Now that Yangzhou's soldiers are well-stocked and full of fighting spirit, even if they kill Yuan Shu and attract the attention of the northern princes, there is no need to fear them at all.

It's a pity that we haven't had time to carefully consider the matter of attacking Yuzhou.

A sad news came from Beifang: Tao Qian died of illness.

Yang Zhendao: "According to the envoy, Master Tao actually fell ill after autumn. But he always said that it is good to take care of him, and he doesn't want to tell you about it, for fear of disturbing your coronation ceremony."

Looking at the letter from Guo Jia reporting this matter, Ling Han couldn't help sighing slightly.

In history, Tao Qian died of illness in 194 at the age of 62.

The most important reason for this is the loss to Cao Cao, the end of the day, and the illness caused by worry.

Unexpectedly, there is no war in Xuzhou now, and it is a thriving scene. Tao Qian only lived two years longer before dying of illness.

He pressed down the idea of ​​attacking Yuzhou.

To Yang Zhendao: "Because of emotion and reason, I should go to Xuzhou in person to mourn Mr. Tao."

At first, after going from Changshan to Xuzhou.

If it wasn't for Tao Qian's great help from the very beginning, giving Ling Han the greatest convenience, it would be impossible for him to proceed so smoothly.

At the same time, once the news of Tao Qian's death came out, Xuzhou was very likely to face threats from the northern princes.

Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

The reason why it was stable before was because the princes were busy conquering easily obtained land and troops, such as the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, the lineup of Ling Han and Tao Qian made it difficult for them to have the idea of ​​fighting.

Tao Qian is now dead.

Although there are Guo Jia, Gao Lan and others in Xuzhou, only I know what they are capable of.

When the northern princes know about this, in their eyes, Xuzhou may instantly become a sweet pastry.

Therefore, Ling Han not only had to go to Xuzhou to express his condolences in person.

He would also take Zhao Yun, Yang Zhen, Pei Yuanshao, generals whom Tao Qian knew, and five thousand elite cavalry to go together.

At the same time, Chang'an City.

Above the lobby of the Xiangguo Mansion, a white-faced scholar in a gray robe hurried in from the outside.

In the hall, all eyes immediately focused on the white-faced scholar.

Obviously, the nobles in this house, whether it is Dong Zhuo Lu Bu or Li Ru Guo Si, are all waiting for the arrival of this scholar today.

"Master Xiangguo."

The white-faced scholar bowed and cupped his fists, saying: "The matter has been settled."

After saying that, when he got up, he quietly glanced at a tall and heroic general beside him.

This general is none other than Lu Bu, known as the number one in the world.

Lu Bu obviously noticed this little gesture, and nodded slightly in response.

"it is good!"

Dong Zhuo slapped the handle of the seat abruptly, and said with a smile, "If it works, Mr. Yang will be the first."

Dong Zhuo looked at his adoptive son again: "Feng Xian, how are your preparations going?"

Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, "Return to foster father, the army can start at any time."

Dong Zhuo said hello twice: "Call that boy Yuan Shao to see, our Xiliang Army is not a vegetarian!"

In an inconspicuous location, Jia Xu squinted her eyes.

This person is unpredictable and elusive.He worked so hard and ran around, was it really for Dong Xiangguo?

Jia Xu's eyes wandered between the white-faced scholar and Lu Bu for a moment.

Then, he put away all expressions and closed his eyes.

From the beginning to the end, no words were expressed.

What will happen to Dong Zhuo, and what has it to do with him?

It is enough for me to say what I should say and do what I should do.

Of these two people, one is Dong Zhuo's adoptive son, and the other is also very valued by Dong Zhuo at the moment.

Why should I go to this muddy water and offend them for nothing?
