Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

On the eighth day of the fifth month in the second year of Daoming, Xie Zhan, the regent of Dali, met with Lu Songli, the governor of Pingzhou, at Lumingtai in Fengdu, Fuling. Xie Zhan set many traps there, but they were all resolved by Pingzhou one by one. He himself fell into the flood due to injuries and drowned.

Lu Songli took the injured and unconscious Qin Sheng back to Pingzhou for treatment.

After seeing off Lu Songli and his group, Qin Heng suppressed his worry about his brother and began to lead the army to retake Yizhou.

After retaking Yizhou, Qin Heng ordered the army to take a temporary rest and wait for other armies to join him.

The rest of Pingzhou's army was rushing in at full speed, preparing to launch a final attack on Dali and besiege Yongzhou.

In the Chang'an Palace, Ye Xian, the old Buddha (the title given to the new emperor after he ascended the throne a year ago) scolded Xie Zhan for being a traitor. He said that he should have sent Lu Songli away, but he talked to her for so long and fell into her delaying tactics, which was extremely hateful!

If Xie Zhan's spirit was here, he would definitely sneer. Ye Xian wanted him and Lu Songli to lose both of them, so that she could reap the benefits? Was she worthy of it?

Li Jieying, who had been promoted to the chief steward of the harem, looked up at the sky and thought, "My Lord Buddha, it's still broad daylight and you haven't woken up yet."

The young eunuch Xiaodouzi next to Li Jieying lowered his head and looked submissive. He admired Li Zongguan very much.

Now the Pingzhou army is about to reach Chang'an, and there is a bit of chaos in the palace. He knows that Li Zongguan is still quite leisurely.

"Manager Li, the situation is about to change. We palace maids and eunuchs don't know what our fate will be in the future."

"Don't worry so much. There's no point in worrying so much. I heard that the governor of Pingzhou is quite kind and he won't kill people at will."

"Hearing what you said, Manager Li, I feel relieved. Manager Li, you are capable. You have climbed to the position of manager in just a few years. What you said must make sense."

"Hey, it's nothing." Facing Xiaodouzi's compliment, Li Jieying waved his hand, "I've said it over and over again, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as you are willing to spend, you can work hard until you can see the emperor. The first year I entered the palace, I was also a little eunuch."

Xiao Douzi nodded. After he entered the palace, he had been working in the same palace with Li Zongguan. Li Zongguan was just a small eunuch leader at that time, but he climbed up all the way and seemed to have never lacked money? So he asked Li Zongguan for advice on how to make money.

Li Jieying felt amused. There was no such thing as a way to make money. His way to make money was to have a good master behind him.

The troops from Pingzhou gathered towards Yongzhou.

As the armies from Pingzhou approached, the atmosphere in Chang'an City became extremely tense.

It's not that the people in the city don't want to leave, but where can they go if they leave? The outside is already Pingzhou's territory. And if they leave, what will happen to their houses and shops? Should they abandon them all? They can't bear to do that.

At this time, except for a very small number of people, most people in Chang'an City hoped that Dali would surrender to Pingzhou so that Chang'an City could be safely handed over to Pingzhou without any war.

Now Dali only has Yongzhou left, and the situation is hopeless. It can be said that the emperor of Dali has become the governor of Chang'an County, and his orders cannot leave Chang'an. What else is there to insist on?

The civil and military officials of Dali all advised the young emperor, or rather, the old Buddha Ye Xian, to surrender to Pingzhou.

Ye Xian was furious when she heard these ministers' advice to her. In the past, Lu Songli was just a criminal woman! Are the ministers asking her to submit to Lu Songli?

In fact, even people from her own family came to persuade her. In the current situation, it is obvious that she cannot prevail over the opponent.

Ye Xian still refused to give in. She finally gave in because she found out someone had poisoned her food, which was accidentally eaten by her trusted palace maid.

This frightened Ye Xian, and her family members came to the palace to persuade her, saying that if she did not compromise, her life would be lost. In this way, Ye Xian compromised and agreed to surrender to Pingzhou.

After Ye Xian gave in, important officials of Dali, led by Prime Minister Shen Wan, Shangshu Ling Sang Baiqing, Dali Temple Minister Wang Yuan and Imperial Censor Zhou Chengzhong, went to discuss Dali's surrender to Pingzhou with Qin Heng.

Lin Ran escorted them there.

But Qin Heng did not meet them, but asked Zhou Da to tell them, "Our general said that you Dali want to surrender to our Pingzhou, you can, but you have to show sincerity."

Shen Wan and the others suspected that they had heard wrongly. What did it mean? They came to negotiate surrender on behalf of Dali, but they had to show sincerity first before Pingzhou would be willing to negotiate with them?

"Is this what you mean?" Shen Wan asked.

Wang Yuan: “Probably.”

Shen Wan and others were so angry when they heard this.

At this time, Lin Ran said quietly, "It's not wrong for them to want sincerity. At Luming Terrace in Fuling, Governor Lu and General Qin Sheng were plotted against. General Qin Sheng is still seriously injured and has not woken up yet..."

Shen Wan and Sang Baiqing looked at each other. If they really wanted to make a fuss, the regent of Dali had died in this struggle. Well, people under the eaves have to bow their heads. Pingzhou just wants to use them to get rid of some people.

Shen Wan and others invited Zhou Da again, and he agreed, saying that he would show his sincerity.

Zhou Da nodded, then called Xian Feng over, "Let him bring some people back with you."

This is surveillance. Is Pingzhou still afraid that they will cheat? Even though they are dissatisfied, Shen Wan and others still pinch their noses and take the people back.

Xue Xu secretly told Xian Feng to find a way to get rid of the little emperor of Dali and Xie Zhan's offspring...

Dali's sincerity was quickly shown.

Xian Feng also saw it.

As soon as Qin Heng received Dali's sincerity, he finally agreed to meet with Shen Wan and others, and then reached two or three simple consensuses. For example, they agreed on the time when Dali would open the city gate to welcome the Pingzhou army; agreed that the Pingzhou army would not hurt anyone after entering Chang'an; and agreed that before opening the city gate, the defense of Chang'an would be handed over to the Pingzhou army.

When the news reached Changli, Lu Desheng jumped up excitedly, "Chang'an is going to surrender?"

"Yes, a date has been agreed upon."

Lu Desheng was very excited. What did this mean? This meant that the world would be unified!

I never expected it, I never expected it, but they actually did it!

When the excitement subsided a little, Lu Desheng asked his wife, "How is my son-in-law?"

Jiang shook his head, "Still unconscious."

Lu Desheng's excitement subsided a little, but he was still very excited when he thought that the whole world would soon fall into his daughter's hands.

He stood up and said, "No, I have to go to Xilin Cemetery."

Jiang was puzzled, "Why go to Xilin Cemetery?"

Lu Desheng was so happy that he couldn't suppress his smile, "Tell the late emperor." The emperor takes turns, and this year it's my turn, hehe.

Jiang: ...Are you sure you are not going to irritate the late emperor?

Before she could say anything, Lu Desheng had already arranged for people to prepare the sacrifices.

Jiang: Forget it.

Changan

As the gates of Chang'an opened, Qin Heng led the Pingzhou army into the city and began to deploy defenses along the way.

After everything was ready, he led the Pingzhou generals to stand in front, and the important officials of Dali stood behind, to welcome Lu Songli into the city.

On both sides of the road, behind the guards, stood the common people who came to watch the ceremony.

"Welcome the Governor to the city!"

Lu Songli's carriage was very large, and was covered with gauze all around. She knelt down, her hands folded on her belly, and her whole body was looming. Beside her, Qin Sheng was sleeping.

Old friends like Sheng Huaixing, Wang Shancun and Yao Zining felt mixed emotions when they saw Lu Songli's young and noble face. They still remembered the scene when the Qin family was exiled and left Beijing in a mess.

Who would have thought that seven years later, Lu Songli led the Qin and Lu families and overthrew the Dali Dynasty and established a new policy in just seven years.

In fact, Sheng Huaixing and others felt that it was easy for Lu Songli to conquer the country, because they did all the difficult things.

Among these old friends, the one who suffered the most was Zhao Yutan.

Zhao Yutan was standing in a very remote position and could only watch Lu Songli's carriage and pomp from a distance.

God is so unfair.

In her opinion, all the honors that Lu Songli has received now are just the result of good luck and choosing the right person.

But no one has ever told Zhao Yutan that choice is more important than hard work.

But it is not easy to make a good choice, because behind the choice, it represents a person's vision and cognition. Getting it right once is luck, but getting it right two or three times in a row is based on a person's accumulation of knowledge and vision.

The Luo family looked dazed. Was there going to be a change of dynasty?

Luo Da lowered his head in fear. They had defeated the original Dali Dynasty? Then what about the new dynasty? Would it have any impact if they stayed in Chang'an?

The common people of Chang'an looked at Lu Songli, the new master of Chang'an, with great interest.

Because Dali surrendered voluntarily, their shops and houses were basically preserved, which shows that their new master is quite law-abiding.

These people did not know that because of Dali's voluntary surrender, it was difficult for them in Pingzhou to plunder the wealth of Chang'an, which led to complaints from her followers. Lu Songli had already made up his mind to move the capital to Beiping.

At this time, Lu Songli looked through the veil at the people who were looking at her, and felt deeply the weight of the burden on her shoulders.

Now that the country has been conquered, how to govern it becomes the top priority.

Lu Songli did not live in the Taiji Hall, which represented the emperor's status, but instead chose a spacious and open side hall to live in.

At this time, the people below handed her a memorial, asking her how to deal with the old Buddha Ye Xian and Zhao Yutan?

After the death of the young emperor, the empress of Song Mo and Song Ai ended her life with a white silk. Now, there are only two female relatives with special status, Ye Xian and Zhao Yutan, who need to be consulted by her for further treatment.

Lu Songli understood that this was also a test from the former officials of the Dali court. Through her treatment of the two people, he could infer her likes and dislikes towards these old officials.

For the old lady Ye Xian and Zhao Yutan, Lu Songli gave two different ways of dealing with them.

Ye Xian looked at the three things in front of her - the white silk, the poisoned wine, and the dagger. She also learned that Lv Songli had let Zhao Yutan go. She trembled all over. "I don't accept it! I want to see Lv Songli! Why did she sentence me to death but let Zhao Yutan go so easily?"

Lu Songli did not meet her, but sent a message, "I killed you because I don't want the world to be in turmoil, not because of personal grudges, everything is because of your identity."

Not killing Zhao Yutan was naturally an attempt to demonstrate her magnanimity as a monarch.

This word also spread, and everyone understood that Lu Songli killed people only because of the harm they caused, not because of personal grudges.

Because she did not kill people indiscriminately, she reassured many of the civil and military officials of the Dali Dynasty.

After Lu Songli moved into the side hall, he has been very diligent.

Xue Xu knelt down and begged Lu Songli to ascend the throne, "Governor, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

Other ministers also knelt down and begged Lu Songli to ascend the throne.

Lu Songli said, "The Qin family has made great contributions to the uprising in Pingzhou and the conquest of the country..."

Lu Songli meant that she and Qin Sheng ascended the throne together and were called Qin Emperor and Lu Huang.

Xue Xu was stunned. Emperor Lu and Emperor Qin? Although General Qin Sheng was in a coma, it would not affect the governor's exercise of the emperor's power. But this would take away the governor's glory.

Ji Wuyin quickly pulled him back. He felt that the governor's decision was very sober. He whispered, "We can't let the governor pursue empty reputation and suffer real harm."

Xue Xu then remained silent.

In this way, after Lu Songli and the court officials declined and requested three times, he finally agreed to ascend the throne.

A month later, Lu Songli, who was only 23 years old, and Qin Sheng, who was in a coma, offered sacrifices to heaven and ascended the throne at the top of Mount Li in Chang'an.

The sacrificial fire burned and rose in the cauldron.

Lu Songli burned incense and announced to heaven and earth:

"The Emperor of Heaven is above, and the Earth is below."

"Your servant, Lü Songli, and your husband, Qin Sheng, have been favored by you and have been granted the title of Xiu Liyuan."

"The Xianbei invaded the south, and he raised an army with great rage. After seven years, he defeated the Xianbei and pacified the world."

"Now that the fate of the Great Li Kingdom has come to an end, my husband and I have inherited its fate and are here to save people in need and drown. Our merits and virtues have won the hearts of people all over the world."

"Mao Jin Xiude was appointed as the Son of Heaven, but Li still refused twice and three times. All the people said, 'The Emperor's will cannot be delayed. How dare you not respectfully accept it?'"

"Today, I, your humble servant and I, in compliance with the will of Heaven and the will of the people, will hold a sacrifice on the top of Mount Li on the second day of the eighth month to announce to Heaven and Earth that we will establish the Ming Dynasty and establish the reign title of Tianxi."

As soon as Lu Songli finished speaking, the ministers and soldiers around him cheered enthusiastically, "Long live, long live, long live..."

Qin Heng, Lu Desheng, Xue Xu, Guo Chong and others all watched this scene with excitement. When selecting the country's name, Emperor Lu personally chose the word "Ming".

A minister asked, what is the Ming Dynasty?

Her explanation is: All places covered by the sun and the moon are bright lands.

Lu Songli looked at everyone and promised loudly, "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, peace will be brought to all quarters, the world will be unified, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the country will prosper forever."

Hearing this, everyone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Long live the Emperor Lu!"
