Royal road

The dilapidated Luoyang Palace was replaced with plain white.The coffin of Emperor Daxing had already entered the main hall and was placed between the two thresholds.The Crying Ceremony was also held for three days. All the relatives of the emperor and the three important ministers cried with red eyes and hoarse voices.Today, however, no one showed signs of fatigue.

Today is the day when the prince is the emperor.After making some arrangements, Sima Tan, king of Qinghe, finally accepted the position of crown prince and became the official heir of this huge dynasty.For this result, the court has no objection.Even the Queen of Sheep, who has been abandoned but established, also showed a high degree of support.After all, if it was Sima Chi, she would still only be a queen.And if Sima Qin's nephew succeeds to the throne, she can be promoted to the empress dowager.

However, looking at the young prince in mourning clothes, Sima Yue felt a little uncomfortable.After a short period of resistance, the child who was under thirteen and still at the age of the chief horn recognized the supreme position.Not panic, nor pride, on the contrary, there is a kind of shocking silence.It's like knowing your future path ahead of time.

This son really can't stay for long.Sima Yue thought to himself, but his actions became more humble.According to the etiquette system, as the head of the three princes, before the late emperor's coffin, he played "Shang Shu Gu Ming", asking the prince to be the emperor, and the queen to be the empress dowager.After the performance, the officials withdrew and changed into mourning clothes for auspicious clothes.Enter the palace again, read the policy, pass on the jade seal, and ascend the ranks to become emperor.

When Sima Qin sat in the main hall wearing the hastily changed crown, all the officials bowed down and said long live.The new emperor of Jin finally found his place.Afterwards, the Jiali had to stop for a while, and then turned into a funeral ceremony for the late emperor, and the official ascension to the throne would not be complete until after visiting the temple.

Only this time, both the funeral and the ceremony were extremely simple.Luoyang Palace has long been robbed by Zhang Fang.Not to mention the thick burials that have prevailed in the past dynasties, even if it is a thin burial, they don't have enough things.Most of the dresses of the new emperor were changed from those of the former emperor. Fortunately, those regicide murderers hadn't snatched the emperor's seal, otherwise the scene would have been ugly.

Like a clay puppet, Sima Qin completed the whole set of rituals in accordance with the rituals.Never said a word of nonsense.It wasn't until all the ceremonies were completed and all the officials retreated that he asked softly, "I don't know the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing, what is the name?"

Sima Yue was taken aback, and immediately replied, "It's the word 'Hui'."

In "The Interpretation of Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Titles", loving the people is called Hui, and being gentle and kind to the people is called Hui.It is a posthumous posthumous title.It's just that as an emperor, such a quality is not very suitable.A person who shouldn't be an emperor has become the lord of the world, and it has just caused chaos for more than ten years.

The little emperor's eyes drooped slightly, and it took a long time before he said: "For matters in the court, I will leave it to the Grand Tutor."

These words seemed to soften him, and it seemed that the emperor had recognized the reality and stopped struggling.Sima Yue sneered in his heart, and nodded humbly: "I will live up to your majesty's trust."

The next step is to bury the late emperor and pay homage to the Taimiao.However, no one expected that on the day that Emperor Hui of Jin was officially buried, the sun in the sky suddenly turned red, and the sun scattered like blood pouring on the ground.This was a weather change that even Tai Shiling hadn't predicted. For a while, there were rumors all over the government and the opposition.

"The emperor is wronged, and the monarch is blind."

Who this prophecy refers to, the world knows.Three days later, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, proclaimed himself emperor in Jingzhou with the support of the defeated King Dongping and Liu Qiao, the former governor of Yuzhou.Since then, the two emperors have stood side by side, forming a corner.

■

"Is the King of Chengdu proclaiming himself emperor too?" In the spacious hall, an old man wearing a beam crown and fine attire asked stroking his beard.

Although he was over fifty, he didn't show any signs of aging. On the contrary, his eyes were black and bright, revealing a power and cunning that no one else could match, like a fox.

Beside him, a young man with a face like him said: "That's true. Not only did the King of Chengdu proclaim the emperor, but he also bluntly said that the King of the East China Sea killed the previous emperor and established a new emperor, which caused the celestial phenomena to change. According to the law, he should succeed That's right. My lord, will we still serve the King of the Eastern Sea this time?"

The person sitting on the seat was the Hushi General Wang Jun who had just been conferred by the imperial court. He was in charge of the military forces of Dongyi and Hedong, and he was also in charge of the governor of Youzhou. It can be said that this person is the real master of Youzhou and Pingzhou.In the previous battles between Sima Yue and Sima Ying, he played a huge role, leading Xianbei Huma to attack Yecheng and go down to Chang'an, winning the final victory for the King of the East China Sea.

Wang Jun snorted when he heard the words: "Do you think we are serving the King of the East China Sea?"

The person sitting opposite knew that he had lost his words, and quickly said: "My lord, forgive me. It's just that the court has changed, how will Youzhou deal with itself?"

"The more stupid Sima is, the more humble Sima Ying is, it is better to do things on her own than to follow the two of them." Wang Jun smiled coldly, "Do you know, Shiro, who is the strongest army now?"

"It's Xianbei!" Wang Xuan answered without hesitation.

Yes.The strongest soldiers in the world today are the two Xianbei troops under Wang Jun.He exchanged two concubine daughters for two sons-in-law, and asked Duan and Yuwen to follow his example.And in the war that took several years, he was the one who achieved the greatest results.How much silk can you get from looting two big cities no less than Luoyang?Now Xianbei and Youzhou are no longer as bitter and cold as they used to be.

"Since there are such strong troops? Why do you have to work for the Sima family?" Wang Jun finally revealed his trump card.

Although he has lived in Youzhou for a long time, he has never stopped paying attention to the situation in the Central Plains.Before sending troops, it was just to accumulate strength.Now, he has the political leverage he needs.When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, Sima Yue will definitely give him a title in order to win him over.I'm afraid it's Sikong this time.

And what if Sima Yue and Sima Ying fought again at this moment?He will still stand on the side of the King of the East China Sea, but because the foundation of the King of Chengdu is in Jizhou, and Jizhou is connected to Youzhou, he is bound to win!

"Since there are two emperors standing side by side, it may not be impossible to have three emperors. There are so many descendants of Sima in the world, why should Zhengshuo ask where they came from?" Wang Jun's slender fox eyes showed greed, "The kingdom has come to an end, there is no need to continue If you can get the four prefectures of You, Ping, Ji, and Anhe, and take Luoyang directly, it's not too bad!"

This was the first time Wang Jun spoke his heart out, and Wang Xuan, who was sitting next to him, felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.This is to do Wei Wu's business!Holding the emperor to command the princes, which man with heavy soldiers in his hand can not be moved?

"But Bingzhou, how do we get it?" Wang Xuan couldn't help asking.

Now Bingzhou is the territory of the Huns, and Tuoba Xianbei is still entrenched here.Even if it is Wang Jun, it is not easy to send troops to plot.

"A few days ago, I heard from your uncle Cong that he wanted to marry Wang's daughter to Shangdang prefect Liang Zixi. Why don't you take this opportunity and ask Liang prefect to come out and have a talk. Bingzhou is the foundation of Wang's family. If he wants to gain a foothold, I will not refuse." Wang Jun said coldly.

For the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Jun has extremely complicated emotions.He himself was a bastard, his mother was of low status, and was looked down upon by his father and clansmen.It's just that his father had no sons, so he took the title.After that, Wang Jun left Bingzhou and came to Youzhou with his family, where he took root on the back cover and never returned to his hometown for half his life.But if there is an opportunity, wouldn't it be a shameful thing to regain Bingzhou and make those arrogant clansmen obey him?

Hearing this, Wang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Liang Zixi once won the city in a solar eclipse, and he is also famous as a Buddhist, so he is not a cautious and independent person! My lord is right! In a few days, I will go to see him personally! "

Although Wang Xuan is only the concubine son of Wang Jun, his status and seniority are ultimately there.It is not impolite to interview relatives of the same generation on behalf of the father.

Seeing that his son understood the twists and turns, Wang Jun nodded in satisfaction: "This matter is related to a great cause, so we must be cautious. There is also the emperor's heir, so we must prepare quietly and don't say anything."

Wang Xuan nodded repeatedly and chatted with his father for a long time before retreating.

Back at his own mansion, he first found his confidant, and explained the matter in detail: "This time the matter is very important, I am afraid that Zhang Junjun will go with me."

The tall, handsome man on the opposite side cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Dian will definitely inquire about the origin of the prefect of Liang."

Seeing that this caring counselor also made a promise, Wang Xuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.This trip to the state should go smoothly.

However, what he didn't know was that after Zhang Canjun left the lobby, he immediately returned to the courtyard where he lived, wrote a letter in cursive, and handed it to the servant: "Send this letter to Jinbei and hand it to Qiniang."

Originally, he thought that he would never be able to send letters again, but who would have thought that there would be such an opportunity!Now that he has managed to survive under the hands of the concubine Wang Jun, how can he leave all the calculations to others?Bingzhou, he's going to have a good time!

Back in Shangdang, Yiyan went directly to the government office, and stayed in Leping for more than half a month, never expecting to hear the news of the national funeral.How could he leave the lord's side at such a time?

Walking into the study quickly, he saw the plain figure at a glance.Wearing plain clothes did not damage that person's appearance, but added a bit of elegance to him. Looking at him from a distance, people couldn't look away.

His heart tightened, he stepped forward and said: "My lord, please mourn for the national funeral."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Liang Feng smirked: "It's a gift for a courtier to cut down, not just me. Everyone in the prefect's mansion must wear mourning. Don't worry about Boyuan."

Hearing this, Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief, and straightened up: "This subordinate has wiped out the Le bandits, and the city of Qiyang has also been captured."

What they want is such news, Liang Feng praised: "This is very good! I will let Wen Qiao take charge of Shenyang and manage the rear."

There are many mountains and forests in Xiyang, but there are also pastures and minerals, which is a pretty good construction base.Wen Qiao is also a solid and capable minister, and he will be able to run a county well in a short period of time.

Seeing the happy expression on the lord's face, Yiyan felt his whole body relax, and said: "This time there are more than a thousand troops surrendered, and they also handed over to the old bandit camp, which is a lot of money. The money, food and population will be transported in batches. Back to the party..."

"You don't have to bring them all back. If there are any refugees that can be resettled, they can be placed directly in Shenyang. I'll leave this matter to Master Duan." Liang Feng answered simply after a moment of thought.

Anyway, it's all about construction, and Leping also needs to plan well, but it doesn't need to be in hand.

After asking the officials of Leping Kingdom for their reactions, Liang Feng was relieved.It seems that the person in charge of Leping is not very talented, and when the frog is boiled in warm water, it will always be cooked.

After carefully explaining the business affairs, Yiyan hesitated for a moment, and said, "When it comes to a national funeral, the lord's marriage..."

"There is no need to worry about this." Liang Feng smiled, "King Dongyan will not return to Bingzhou in a short time, and the marriage can continue after the national funeral is over. I also sent a letter to Wang Zhongzheng to apologize, and chose another auspicious day."

That little hope was crushed to pieces, Yiyan's throat trembled, and he closed his mouth.

Liang Feng seemed to have suddenly remembered something, jokingly said: "By the way, you will be [-] this year, right? You are a weak crown year, and you are not ready to marry a wife?"

These words immediately froze Yiyan's back, suppressing the pain in his heart with all his might, he shook his head and said, "The Huns are still alive, so why should we do our homework?"

This is Huo Qubing's most famous sentence.The champion Hou of that year was to conquer the Huns for the sake of the big man.And today, he is also fighting against the Huns in Bingzhou to defend his homeland.Using this sentence as an excuse should not make people suspicious.

However, Liang Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "This is an unlucky remark, don't mention it in the future!"

It's okay to take Huo Qubing as an idol, but these words are simply planting a flag for himself.Huo Qubing died young, only lived to be 23 years old, he didn't want Yiyan to do the same!

One sentence was not enough, Liang Feng couldn't help but said again: "The battlefield is uncertain, but your life is far more important than others. Don't fight too hard!"

The unexpected reassurance made Yiyan's bloody heart tense and rubbed hard.Bowing his head deeply, he said in a low voice, "This is for the subordinates."

Looking at the straight figure of the person in front of him, Liang Feng sighed in his heart.It's time to find a relative for this little guy. Maybe after marrying a wife, his increasingly deep evil spirit will be relieved a bit.After all, people are not weapons, those who are too rigid are easy to break, and it is not a good thing to be so tense all the time.

Thinking of this, Liang Feng smiled slightly: "Now that the country is mourning, dancing and music are not allowed. If there is nothing to do in the army, you can stay and play chess with me. Go is okay, but this military flag has not been played with me for a long time."

Time passed by like water in the past, how could Yiyan resist: "This subordinate is fine."

"Remember to use all your strength, I want to see if your formation technique has improved." Liang Feng smiled slightly, and summoned a maid, and spread out a small chessboard between the two of them.

Yiyan glanced at the casual smile on the man's face, lowered his eyes, and silently set up the chess pieces.

The author has something to say: "Book of Jin": In the fifth month of Guangxi's first year at Renchen and Guisi, the sun was scattered, and the red was like blood, and the ground was all red.Jiawu is the same.Zhan said: "The king is blind."

The year of Guangxi is simply a collection of celestial phenomena, no wonder the world is in chaos.
