Chapter 17 We are angry

An error occurred while processing s private file

On the tenth day of June, Li Hu and his party arrived in Chang'an. Before that, because the emperor was seriously ill, Li Hu urgently summoned officials from all over the country to Beijing to discuss matters. Among them, Luo Qinghan, Gao Baolong, and Huo Liuge returned from Daibei, Fan Zhichang returned from Chengdu, Mao's army returned from Xiangyang, and Hu Lie's main officials gathered in Chang'an.

Prime Minister Li Gang and a group of ministers in the court went outside the city to greet him. Everyone was nervous and didn't know if Li Hu took the opportunity to seize the country's destiny. This fearful mentality reached its peak when Li Hu entered the palace to meet the empress dowager, because at this time the empress dowager was going to discuss with Li Hu the major events of the imperial inheritance.

The Queen Mother was very scared. The emperor's sudden death made her almost collapse. Fortunately, Princess Maode and Princess Roufu arrived in Chang'an as early as the emperor was seriously ill and kept staying by her side to comfort her. However, these two princesses did not know whether the Song Dynasty could continue, and they were even more afraid than the Queen Mother.

After Li Gang, Li Fu and other prime ministers arrived in Chang'an, they first established the crown prince and prepared all the matters for the crown prince to ascend the throne. At the same time, Li Gang delivered the edict of the emperor's death and the new king's succession to the Northwest Army commander Wang Yuan, as well as the Northwest generals Yao Pingzhong, Zhongxi, Wang?, Zhao Zhe, Liu Guangshi, Zhao Ming and others from all walks of life in Shaanxi. They agreed that if Li Hu usurped himself, he would raise an army to defend the king and swear to protect the great Song Dynasty to the death.

In this incident, Liu Yanqing's support played a crucial role. Before Li Hu left Luoyang, Liu Yanqing bowed his head to Li Hu to serve allegiance under the threat of Li Hu, but the emperor's sudden death changed his mind. Li Hu and the Hu Lie Ren were likely to take this opportunity to seize the country's destiny, but it was obvious that the conditions were immature. At this time, Li Hu seized the country's destiny and would inevitably attract resistance from the people of the Song Dynasty in various places, and the result was a general collapse. Liu Yanqing must prevent Li Hu from seizing the country's destiny immediately, whether for the benefit of the people of the Northwest or for his own considerations. Although the consequences of doing so were very serious and he wanted to offend Li Hu, he had no choice. He could not follow Li Hu and die together.

The Queen Mother was trembling and tried her best to keep calm, and told him about the prince's ascension to the throne and asked Li Hu for his opinion.

Li Hu agreed immediately.

The Queen Mother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Gang, Li Fu and others became even more nervous, because the ascension of the prince was not the key to this crisis. The key was authority, and it was the highest power structure for the Queen Mother to regent the government. If Li Hu took retreat as an advance and monopolized the regent's power, it would be no essential difference from his usurpation. The two were just a gorgeous cloak that covered shame.

The new emperor was young and needed someone to assist in the administration. According to the convention, the empress dowager was regent.

Prime Minister Li Gang formally proposed the Empress Dowager's Regent. The proposal was not waiting for Li Hu to speak, Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan, Huang She, and Chai Yun immediately opposed it. The opinions of the prime minister could not be unified, and Li Hu could not immediately make a decision on this matter and must be discussed again.

Li Hu led the prime minister to withdraw from the ban and discussed in the meeting hall.

"The general and Dong Zhi were all back day and night, and they needed a rest. This matter will be discussed tomorrow." Luo Qinghan refused to discuss the matter overnight.

Li Gang and Li Fu put state affairs first and firmly demanded a ruling overnight.

"She holds the new emperor's ascension ceremony first." Li Hu needs time to understand the tiger first. He did not dare to make a decision on the matter casually, so he decisively ordered and temporarily put aside.

That night, the Huliu gathered in the General's Mansion, Luo Qinghan, Gao Baolong, and Huo Liu.

Brother, Hou Guai, Zhang Gaoer, Mao Jun and others, without exception, firmly demanded that Li Hu ascend the throne and become emperor.

This incident was long before Li Hu expected that the Hu Lieutenant General would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and would definitely support himself ascend the throne and become emperor. For ten years, the Hu Lieutenant Army has fought south and north since the Dashan Alliance. Why? Isn’t it just for the king to dominate the world?

When the Jurchens Wanyan Aguda founded the country in Huanglong Prefecture, everyone thought he had committed a taboo and was hit by the Khitans head-on, but the result was completely the opposite. It was precisely because the Jurchens founded the country that when the Khitans were divided, they surrendered to the Jin Kingdom one after another, and no one was willing to surrender to the Hu Lie Army. This incident greatly stimulated the Hu Lie people, so after Li Hu occupied Datong in Xijing, some people asked Li Hu to be emperor, but Li Hu refused for various reasons and surrendered to the Song Dynasty as a vassal king. Several years later, the Hu Lie army entered Middle-earth and occupied three parts of the world. If Li Hu did not call himself emperor, it would definitely disappoint the Hu Lie people and would more likely cause a series of accidents.

For example, Yelu Mage and the Khitan King's Mansion. As early as when Yelu Mage defected to Li Hu, Yelu Mage and Li Hu had an agreement that he would never surrender to the Song Dynasty. Now Yelu Mage commanded most of the Daibei, and his strength increased greatly. At this time, Li Hu was not yet emperor, and the Khitans still had patience to wait? Yelu Mage could still believe it.

Li Hu has the ambition to dominate the world? Li Hu is not sure about such a good opportunity, and Yelu Ma Ge will still obey Li Hu? Should he fight for Li Hu in Daibei or guard the country for the Song Dynasty? How could the Khitans have no ideas and no intentions?

The people of the Song Dynasty firmly safeguarded the Zhao family's destiny, and the Huliman firmly demanded that Li Hu proclaim himself emperor and establish the country. Li Hu was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. No matter what he did, it would cause internal chaos.

"I and them..." Li Hu pointed at Dong Xiaochou, Huang She and Chai Yun said, "We discussed it carefully along the way, and felt that the time was not yet ripe."

"General General, this disappoints the brothers." Zhang Gao'er couldn't help but say coldly, "Give me a message, when will you wait until you ascend the throne and become emperor? What kind of opportunity will be considered ripe? According to your statement, the time when Wanyan Aguda ascends the throne and becomes emperor was also called ripe? He only occupied a piece of land as big as a palm, with only 20,000 troops under the tent, but he ascends the throne and becomes emperor. Now you can see how big the territory his Great Jin Kingdom has? How many troops are there? Who can you convince this reason?"

At the beginning of Zhang Gao'er, Gao Baolong, Hou Guai and Mao Jun made suggestions, and Brother Huo Liu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he slapped the case with a "slap" sound.

.

Luo Qinghan shook his head repeatedly, looking disappointed. He did not expect that at this time, Li Hu would refuse to ascend the throne and become emperor. This time, Li Hu's actions would disappoint the entire Tiger Lie Army very much.

Huang She explained the reasons why he could not immediately become emperor, and Dong Xiaochou and Chai Yun also made more detailed additions, but this still failed to convince the generals of the tiger and lie.

The Jurchens are living examples, and the Great Jin Kingdom is a lesson in the past. In the eyes of these opponents, the so-called immature time is simply fear, looking forward to the past, lack of courage, and seriously lacking the domineering spirit of a king.

However, the emperor's death and the new emperor ascended the throne has not been told to the world. Except for some commanders, most of the generals of Hu Lie did not know that Luo Qinghan and others could not join forces with Hu Lie to support Li Hu to become emperor in such a short time. Therefore, when Li Hu had already made a decision, there was no room for recovery for this matter, and they could only find other ways to make up for it.

Luo Qinghan therefore made a suggestion that Li Hu was regent and took over the power.

To a certain extent, it can make up for the disappointment and anger of the Huliu people who did not ascend to the throne and become emperor, and can also appease the foreign generals like Yelu Mage.

Li Hu agreed.

He had to compromise. Although he had previously reached an agreement with Huang She, Dong Xiaochou and Chai Yun to jointly assist in the government with the Prime Minister, today the Hu Lie people were extremely disappointed and angry about his refusal to be emperor, which made no one dare to express the intention of jointly assisting the government, so as not to further anger the Hu Lie generals.

At the same time, Zhe Keqiu told Li Gang and others the final agreement with Li Hu and others in the deliberation hall, which basically fulfilled their wishes. However, Zhe Keqiu's last sentence made Li Gang and others realize that things were not as simple as imagined.

"Ten years ago, Li Hu met the mountain alliance and began to conquer the world with the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. Among them, the Tiger and Lieutenant repeatedly asked Li Hu to be the emperor and establish the country, but Li Hu refused for various reasons. This time, the Tiger and Lieutenant will definitely ask Li Hu to be the emperor and establish the country. If Li Hu refuses again, it will inevitably arouse the Tiger and Lieutenant's strong anger, and the consequences are very serious. Even Li Hu cannot guarantee him

The subordinates would not raise troops to rebel because of this. Among them, the ones who are most likely to betray Li Hu were Yelu Mage and the Khitan army." Zhe Keqiu was helpless. Facing a group of ministers, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can think about it. If Yelu Mage and the Khitans rebelled, Dai Bei would definitely be lost. Then this battle would be in vain and we would be in extreme dilemma."

The meeting hall fell silent.

At present, we must maintain the reign of the Song Dynasty. To maintain the reign of the Song Dynasty, we must curb the power of Li Hu. To curb the power of Li Hu will lead to a series of drastic changes. Once the Tiger and Li Hu army have civil strife, the reign of the Song Dynasty will be unable to be maintained.

This is a dead end. Li Hu himself is willing to compromise, but the Huli people will not compromise; the empress dowager and the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty can also compromise, but the Song people will not compromise. No matter which method is used to rebuild the highest power structure of the Song Dynasty, it is possible to destroy the current favorable situation.

In the early morning of the 11th, Li Hu had just slept for two minutes before being woken up by Fan Zhichang.

Fan Zhichang participated in the meeting of the General's Mansion that lasted for several hours,

The Huliu people threatened Li Hu either to proclaim himself emperor immediately or to be regent alone, and he never said a word.

"What countermeasures do you have?" Li Hu opened his eyes and said the first sentence to the point. Fan Zhichang didn't speak all night, so there must be a countermeasure.

"You still have room for compromise now?" Fan Zhichang said with his blood-red eyes, "Since you can't be the emperor for the time being, you have to be the Regent."

"I'm asking you how to resolve the resistance of the Song people." Li Hu said weakly, "Whether Chang'an or all places, once the edict is passed on to the world, it will definitely rebel. The Huli Army entered Zhongtu and actively resisted the Jin people, but it was not recognized by the Song people. At this moment, I was regent alone. As long as I was not an idiot, I knew that I was trying to command the emperor to command the world and soon seize the reign of the Song people. How could no one resist? Besides, the Southeast has already gained a foothold. At this time, the old emperor climbed up and shouted, and responded to it."

"Yes, the emperor suddenly died of illness in his prime in the spring and autumn. Then you were regent. The Southeast Song Dynasty would definitely take the opportunity to slander you, saying that you killed the lord and usurped the enemy, and you could not argue with all your rebellions, which was completely foreseeable." Fan Zhichang shook his head and sighed, "The emperor's death at this moment, and the blow to us is fatal."

When Li Hu heard this, his heart suddenly suffocated, and his eyes became even more flustered, but he was covered up with a strong murderous aura and said coldly: "Since that's the case, then prepare to quell the rebellion."

"How many troops do you have to use to suppress the rebellion? Where does the money and food for suppressing the rebellion come from? Once the situation is in chaos, the Jin Dynasty, Xixia and Southeast rebels come from three sides. How do you deal with it?" Fan Zhichang asked.
