Chapter 2216: Qin’s surname is Ying (middle)
In fact, Qin Hao has refused to proclaim himself emperor twice.
The first proposal was made by an internal official of the DPRK, but Qin Hao rejected it without hesitation.
The second time was jointly signed by hundreds of officials and officials from various places. People from all over the country also signed the Book of Ten Thousand People, but Qin Hao still refused without explanation.
Qin Hao used the same reason for his refusal twice: "Do you want to risk this king from being unfilial and unjust?"
I have to say that Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the same words have completely different meanings when viewed from different angles.
Qin Hao's refusal to proclaim himself emperor only mentioned unfilial piety and unrighteousness, but did not mention disloyalty. This seemed to the supporters to be a clear hint, but it excited the supporters.
What is unrighteousness? Liu's treatment of the King of Qin was quite good. Not only did she re-employ and promote her, but she also married a princess. She took it for herself and forcibly usurped the country, which was indeed a bit unjust.
How to break this situation? It's simple, just get the support of the Liu royal family.
But now that Liu Xie is dead and Liu Bian has ascended the throne of Shu and proclaimed himself emperor, there is only one Liu Mu left in the Liu royal family.
So, we can only settle for the next best thing and obtain the support of female royal members and Liu family members.
Qin Hao's supporters used the slogan "The Liu family has lost its morality first, lost the people's support behind, and Qin's destiny is behind", and sent representatives to lobby Liu Mu and the Liu family in various places with great righteousness.
After all, Liu Mu was a princess of the Han Dynasty. Her attitude towards Qin Hao's proclaiming emperor was originally neither supportive nor opposed. However, under the tireless lobbying of these people who upheld their righteousness, she finally changed her attitude to support and let Cai Cai. Yan conveyed it to her husband on her behalf.
The Liu clan and Han clan clans from all over the country saw that this fire was burning into their own homes. Either to protect themselves or to please Qin Hao, they naturally did not dare to say a word "no" and sent representatives to Beijing to support Qin Hao. Hao proclaimed himself emperor.
The attitudes of Liu Mu and the Liu family basically represent the attitudes of most of the Liu family. Now that even the Liu family supports Qin Hao's proclaimed emperor, there is no way to talk about unrighteousness. The only remaining problem is unfilial piety.
Why was King Qin unfilial when he proclaimed himself emperor? In addition to the late emperor being the father-in-law of King Qin, King Qin Wen of Jin was also a firm opponent.
Not long after the proposal to proclaim himself emperor was raised, the King of Jin returned to Luoyang from Bingzhou and made it clear in the second proposal to proclaim himself emperor that he was firmly opposed to his son Qin Hao proclaiming himself emperor, and even threatened him with death.
It was already a matter of course for King Qin to establish a new dynasty on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but at the last moment, he was blocked by his biological father, which made it a bit difficult.
Even if everyone in the world supports the King of Qin, if his own father does not support him, this will eventually be criticized and he will be accused of being unfilial.
This also led supporters to speculate that King Qin took into account the feelings of his biological father, so he refused to take the further step of proclaiming emperor.
The King of Qin is indeed a most filial person.
As the biological father, King Jin became the biggest obstacle to King Qin's proclaimed emperor. However, King Jin's health has not been very good and he has only a few years to live. As long as he dies, this obstacle will naturally disappear.
But a country cannot live without a king for a day. Even if King Qin has the patience to wait, his supporters do not have the patience, not to mention that now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
But how to solve this problem? Needless to say, the supporters really thought of a way to start with the blood of the Qin family. Didn’t the Qin family come from Xianyang, Guanzhong? Then give the King of Qin an identity as a descendant of the First Queen. With this identity, that generation of Han people was not usurping the throne, but restoring it, taking back what should belong to their family.
As for whether this lie will be exposed? The answer is naturally impossible. After all, the Xianyang people, who are descendants of the Old Qin people, are somewhat related to the Ying family of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with saying that they are descendants of the First Queen.
I have to say that Qin Hao's supporters are still very powerful. Jia Xu didn't even have time to bring up the issue of Ying's bloodline, but they took the lead and encouraged it. It's just that the flaw is too big for people to see. I knew it was made up.
Qin Hao was surprised when he learned that it was earlier than he planned, so he asked Jia Xu. Jia Xu also looked confused. Apparently, he only knew about this.
The supporters accidentally discovered the identity of Qin Hao's descendant in advance, but it did not have much impact on Jia Xu's plan, and they just took advantage of the situation to propose follow-up plans.
In the palace hall, all the civil and military officials, as well as the King of Jin Qin Wen who was not going to court, have been waiting for a long time again. Everyone is waiting for Qin Hao to come, and they all understand that this escape is not a trivial matter.
“The King of Qin has arrived.”
“See King Qin.”
Except Qin Wen, all the officials saluted, but Qin Hao didn't look at it, strode directly up the steps, and sat on the big nanmu chair next to the dragon chair.
“If you have a foundation, you can start a memorial, but if you don’t have a foundation, you can retreat from the court.”
Qin Hao said impatiently, as if he was extremely anxious and wanted to escape.
Liu Ye, who represented the Liu family, was the first to stand up, clasping his fists and saying: "To the King of Qin, the Liu family of Beihai in Qingzhou, the Liu family of Weijun in Jizhou, the Liu family of Yanjing in Youzhou, etc., there are a total of thirteen Han clans. I wrote a letter requesting my lord to comply with the destiny and proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu stood up and said: "Qin Zheng, the governor of Jingzhou, Wang Meng, the governor of Bingzhou, Wei Yang, the governor of Youzhou, and other seven governors, as well as their subordinates, the prefects and magistrates of forty-three counties, and the magistrates of four hundred and fifty-one counties. The county magistrates all wrote letters begging their lord to obey the destiny and proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty."
"The Commander-in-Chief of Youzhou Bai Qi, the Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou Yue Fei, the Commander-in-Chief of Hetao Meng Tian, the Commander-in-Chief of Yongzhou Li Jing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Zhou Yu, the Commander-in-Chief of Lulongsai Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Commander-in-Chief of Yanmen Pass Li Dingguo, the Commander-in-Chief of Wei Commandery Gao Shun, and Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong, Huo Qubing, Long Qie, Han Xin, and other 180 generals in the army, all wrote letters begging the lord to obey the destiny and proclaim the emperor on behalf of Han." Qin Wu stood up and said loudly.
"More than 95% of the people in Sizhou, Bingzhou, Jingbei, and Hetao agree that the lord can proclaim the emperor, and more than 70% of the people in the three prefectures of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingbei also agree. Please ask the lord to obey the destiny and proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty. "Han Fei stood up and said loudly.
At this point, all the forces in the Qin State have expressed their support for Qin Hao to proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty. However, everyone's attention fell on Qin Wen who was sitting in a wheelchair. His next reaction would influence the King of Qin's decision.
Qin Wen's eyes were calm and he said calmly: "Are you trying to force me into the palace and trap my son into disloyalty?"
“Brother, what you said is wrong.”
As soon as Qin Wen finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside the palace, and there was no one else who could call Qin Wen his eldest brother except Qin Jian.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Jian strode into the main hall, followed by Qin Liang, Qin Ji, Qin Ying and other young Qin family members, as well as several white-haired elders of the Qin family who were leaning on walking sticks.
I worked overtime for five days and four days last week. I was so tired and exhausted both physically and mentally, so I gave myself a holiday on the weekend. I went out to play with my friends and colleagues to relax. I won’t work overtime next week.
