Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

It was said that Cheng Wuwei personally led an army of 150,000 people to the north to counter the rebellion. After receiving the news, Xia Yuan immediately led 40,000 elite troops back to defend Tang'an City in an attempt to unite the Northern Yuan army to resist Yan Guo's counter-insurgency army.

However, after Yan Guo's counter-rebellion army arrived at Mingyuan City, they did not continue to march towards Tangzhou, but divided their troops to garrison in new border states.

Time passed day by day, but Cheng Wuwei always stood still, so Xia Yuan handed over Tang'an City to the new Tangzhou Sima Tang Hao for defense, and returned to Shatucheng with the newly formed 30,000 Yulin Guards.

After Xia Yuan's uprising, he would receive memorials from his subordinates every day to persuade him to ascend the throne as soon as possible and resume his rule in Dasheng.

Xia Yuan originally wanted to wait until the situation stabilized before ascending the throne, but the horrific lethality of the bomb made the morale of the military somewhat scattered. In order to stabilize the morale of the military, after weighing the pros and cons, Xia Yuan decided to comply with the people's sentiments and ascend the throne as emperor.

Due to the rush of time, there was no time to build the palace, so Xia Yuan immediately decided to hold the enthronement ceremony at the Shazhou Palace.

In the fourth year of Sheng'an, on the first day of May, I went to the palace in Shazhou.

Witnessed by civil and military officials from the eight states, Xia Yuan officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, announced the restoration of the rule of the prosperous dynasty, and issued the Tianwu Edict of Jianyuan to the world.

At this point, the Dasheng Dynasty was officially restored.

After Xia Yuan came to the throne, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, he began to grant officials a lot. The princes and uncles were granted a lot of titles. The sergeants were all promoted and made rich, and the generals were all highly paid and generously rewarded. There must be a brave man, and the morale of the Shengguo army will be greatly boosted.

Xia Yuan was very satisfied after receiving the news, and immediately issued an imperial edict to continue to expand the army and prepare for war. People in the eight states who were unaware of the situation signed up to join the army one after another under the temptation of huge benefits.

After the restoration of the Dasheng Dynasty, Shatucheng was renamed Tianwu City as the capital of the Sheng Kingdom and began to use the Tianwu Calendar. Everything in Tianwu City was rapidly disappearing.

Tianlao, in the prison of the former Shazhou Prefecture, General Yi Linwei Shen Mao looked at Shazhou Academician Gong Yan in the prison opposite, and slowly said: "Master Gong, the civil and military officials in the prison have almost left. , was either executed or surrendered to Xia Yuan, it’s probably our turn today, what do you think?”

Gong Yan raised his head and looked at Shen Mao, "Is the general planning to surrender? Yes, if the general surrenders, Xia Yuan may make you the general. This is the position of the first rank elder in the cabinet."

As soon as Gong Yan said this, Shen Zhan immediately said, "What do you mean, Mr. Gong? If my father wanted to surrender, why would he wait until now?"

"Zhan'er, don't be rude to Master Gong."

Shen Zhan quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes, father!"

"Master Gong, it has been almost a month since we were imprisoned. The imperial court's counter-rebellion army has not yet entered Shatucheng. It seems that they have encountered difficulties. If my prediction is correct, Xia Yuan should be with Bei Yuan. United.”

Gong Yan sneered, "What can we do if we unite? They are just blocking the car with a mantis arm. How can my military strength, Dayan, be comparable to that of Bei Yuan?"

Shen Mao shook his head, "Master Gong, I know that you are not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death. But after all, you and I are not alone. We still have families. Sometimes appropriate compromise is not a wise choice."

"If General General wants to compromise, then you can just compromise. My Gong family has been loyal for generations, and the worst is death. I will never compromise anyway."

"Master Gong, proper compromise does not mean surrender. It is just a means to protect ourselves. As long as we can persist until the court's counter-rebellion army arrives, we can continue to serve the court. If we die, there will be nothing. , and even if Mr. Gong is not afraid of death, then you have to think about your family, right?"

Gong Yan looked at his family members sitting in the prison cell and said, "I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."

"Master, what are you talking about? We are a family. There is no way we will be involved. You are the head of the family. You can do whatever you want without taking us into consideration."

"Dad, you don't have to worry. Your decision is our Gong family's decision. We will always support you."

With his family on one side and his loyal country on the other, Gong Yan slowly closed his eyes. It was obvious that he was making a difficult decision.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has arrived!"

At this moment, a young man in his twenties appeared in the prison, followed by a group of guards wearing black uniforms and holding long swords.

The young man came directly to the outside of the prison where Shen Mao was located, "General Shen, long time no see. Are you still getting used to the life in this prison?"

Shen Mao raised his head and recognized Xia Yue at a glance, "King Wei? It seems that your father Xia Yuan has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."

"How presumptuous! Is it possible for a prisoner like you to call His Majesty your name casually?"

Xia Yue quickly waved her hand, "Don't be rude to the captain. General Shen is my future general in Dasheng."

Xiang Yi clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes, His Highness the King of Wei!"

"Hahaha……"

"General? Is there any general in the world who is imprisoned?"

Xia Yue smiled and said nothing. She turned around and looked at Gong Yan in the prison opposite. "Come here, please bring General Shen and Gong Xuezheng to the Qinzheng Hall. Your Majesty will summon them."

"Yes, His Highness King Wei!"

With a wave of Xiang Yi's right hand, the Imperial City Siwei behind him immediately stepped forward to open the prison and invited Shen Mao and Gong Yan out.

The Imperial City Department, the intelligence yamen of the Sheng Kingdom, is a secret service agency like the Jingjian Department of the Yan State, and is currently under the personal control of Wei Wang Xia Yue.

As soon as Shen Mao and Gong Yan came out, Xia Yue smelled a disgusting sour smell. The two of them hadn't taken a shower for a month, so it was normal for them to smell bad.

"Captain Xiang, take General Shen and Gong Xuezheng to take a bath first, and then change into clean clothes. I am waiting for you outside Zhongtian Gate."

"Yes, His Highness King Wei!"

Gong Yan said loudly: "No need, don't waste your efforts. Even if I die, I will never become a traitor. You'd better kill me now."

"Gong Xuezheng, I don't care whether you live or die. If you really have the guts, you can commit suicide now. I promise that I will never stop you. Commander Xiang, give Lord Gong a dagger."

Xiang Yi immediately took out a dagger and handed it to Gong Yan. Gong Yan reached out to take the dagger, and the blade was immediately placed on his neck.

Shen Mao's face was startled, "Master Gong, the green hills are still here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Don't you do anything stupid?"

"Master! Dad! Grandpa! No!"

Gong Yan's actions immediately attracted the attention of Gong's family, and they all spoke out to dissuade Gong Yan.

"Gong Xuezheng, you have to think clearly. If you die, then your family will have no value in continuing to live. For those who have no value, living is a waste of food."

Gong Yan originally wanted to commit suicide to maintain his loyalty, but when he thought that his death would affect his family, he hesitated to take action. After some struggle, he thought of what Shen Mao had just said.

"Bang!"

Gong Yan's hand loosened and the dagger fell to the ground.

Xia Yue smiled and said, "Captain Xiang, take General Shen and Gong Xuezheng away."

"Yes, His Highness King Wei."

Half an hour later.

Xiang Yi brought Shen Mao and Gong Yan to Zhongtianmen.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, my subordinates have brought people here."

Xia Yue got off the carriage, looked at Shen Mao and Gong Yan who were wearing new clothes, and immediately nodded, "Let's go, follow me to the palace to see His Majesty."
