The newly built Duting Posthouse in the west of the city is a complex of more than 200 houses lined up in rows. On this day, the Imperial City Department first sent personnel to inspect the Duting Posthouse inside and outside. In the afternoon, the vanguard troops were selected to send advance guards.
The internal guards were taken over, and the streets and lanes near the post house were guarded by the Xiangyang Prefecture Army.
Although Xu Huai did not like extravagance, the people nearby saw the heavily guarded posture inside and outside the post house, and they all knew that today was different from the past, and that there must be extremely important people who wanted to stay in Duting Post House.
Zhou He, Gu Fan, Qian Zerui and others also drove to Duting Posthouse early to wait here.
After a tiring journey, Xu Huai exchanged a few words with others and then went to the living room to wash up and tidy up. After changing his clothes, he came out to chat with the nobles.
However, Han Gui ignored the fatigue of the journey and grabbed Liu Wangshi, Pan Chenghu, and Chen Zixiao. He first accompanied Zhou He, Gu Fan, and Qian Zerui to the banquet hall to reminisce about the past.
Sitting down in the banquet hall, Han Gui couldn't wait to tell Zhou He, Gu Fan, Qian Zerui and others about what happened on the Yuliangping Causeway.
"Really?" Zhou He and Gu Fan were both surprised, while Qian Zerui was confused and happy.
"How can it be false?" Han Gui asked with a smile, "I, Liu Gong, Zi Xiao, and Pan Gong were all on the long embankment. We heard with our own ears and saw with our own eyes..."
"Is there anyone around Your Highness Yingyun?" Zhou He asked. .????.
Zhou He did not suspect that Han Gui had pulled Liu Shiwang, Qian Zerui, and Pan Chenghu into fabricating lies, but he was considering who would push the whole thing forward.
Obviously, they cannot be too impatient or impatient, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid leaving the world with the illusion of "coercing each other". It would be best if the late emperor's ministers who were not so close to the Sikong Mansion would come forward to intervene.
If not, wouldn't they have thought of this?
Zhou He could think of two people as the most suitable candidates at this time, one was Hu Kai and the other was Liu Xian, but how to convince Hu Kai and Liu Xian to come forward?
Hu Kai and Liu Xian are not in Xiangyang at this time. Even if they are in Xiangyang, it is impossible to drag them directly to Princess Yingyun for confirmation, right?
If someone from Prince Qi's residence is present to provide evidence, some embarrassment can be saved.
"Yuan Shu, a guest of Prince Qi's palace, was with His Highness Yingyun at that time," Han Gui said.
"It would be nice if Yuan Shu was here." Zhou He patted his thigh, his gray beard trembling with excitement.
Yuan Shu was a member of Hu Kai's staff in his early years. He once served as the Chief Secretary of Caizhou Defense Envoy, and also served as an official in the Privy Council.
Hu Kai was demoted to Hengzhou, and Yuan Shu also resigned from the Privy Council. However, because he was old, he did not follow Hu Kai, Hu Yu and his son to Hengzhou to take office.
After the incident of fleeing the capital, Hu Yu returned to the capital and served as the minister of the Qi Palace. Yuan Shu also entered the Qi Palace as a guest and taught the Qi King Zhao Yin his lessons.
"Mr. Han, do you think who, Hu Gong or Liu Gong, is more suitable to be the matchmaker?" Gu Fan supported the long case with both hands, leaned forward, and asked Han Gui with stern eyes.
Yuan Shu and Hu Yu are not only the subordinates of Princess Yingyun, but also Hu Kaiziliao. If they spread the news, they can naturally win people's trust and save a lot of trouble.
"Prime Minister Zhou, Prime Minister Gu may recommend Mr. Liu to be the Fu of the King of Qi." Han Gui said.
Emperor Jianji ascended the throne in Xiangyang and became the emperor. Liu Xian was appointed as the military envoy of Jinghu North Road at that time. The defeat of Jiaopi led to the destruction of the Xuanwu Army, and Liu Xian was demoted to serve as a civilian. Later Emperor Jianye used Liu Xian to go out to Zhiwuzhou to assist Gao Jun.
Yang rectified the defense of the Western Qinling Mountains. Liu Xian was squeezed out by Gao Junyang, and the conflict became increasingly serious, and he finally resigned from office in the fourth year of Shaolong.
After moving the capital to Xiangyang, Xu Huai wanted to recommend Liu Xian, but Liu Xian refused.
However, in Han Gyu's view, Liu Xian is still a more suitable candidate than Hu Kai.
It’s not that Hu Kai’s qualifications are inferior to Liu Xian’s.
On the contrary, Hu Kai was too qualified. Han Gui thought that Hu Kai might acquiesce in some things, but he was unwilling to stand up and fight for it himself.
After the escape from Beijing incident, Shi Zhen, Han Gui, Gu Fan, Zhou He and others were already considering abdication. In their eyes, even Emperor Shaolong and Tian Xuannian, who was still imprisoned in Mobei at this time, were not
The main obstacle.
At the end of the previous dynasty, Emperor Gong ascended the throne at a young age, and the Queen Mother came to claim the throne. The people of the country were suspicious. Emperor Taizu returned in favor of everyone, wore a yellow robe, accepted Emperor Gong's abdication, and became the emperor, creating a foundation for Dai Viet that has lasted for more than 170 years.
Therefore, from the perspective of Dai Viet's legal system, the emperor was ignorant and incompetent, which led to the collapse of the world. It is quite reasonable for the man who was expected to return to the throne to succeed to the throne and start a new dynasty; at least there was not too fierce opposition from the government and the public.
Opponents such as Gurdjieff and Gao knew this very well.
Therefore, in recent years, on the one hand, they have petitioned to return the capital to Bianliang, and on the other hand, they have publicized the achievements of Emperor Jianji in their jurisdiction and petitioned to appoint King Yin of Qi as the crown prince.
When the world was in ruins, Emperor Jianji rushed to Heluo, Hezhong, and Zelu to defend the captives. After ascending the throne in Xiangyang, he devoted all his energy to organizing the world's troops and horses, establishing the Qinling-Huaihe River defense line, protecting half of the country, and winning a rare respite for Vietnam. Who is this?
An achievement that cannot be erased.
Regardless of Xu Huai's achievements, it is a fact recognized by the world that he was able to establish Ye Emperor and rise from the wilderness.
During the Second Battle of Huainan, the Jianye navy was annihilated by the Red Husbands, and the captive cavalry galloped and killed outside the city of Jianye. Wei Chujun once advocated the appointment of the King of Qi as the crown prince, in order to win over the former emperor's remaining ministers and restore the ruined reputation of the Qiandi clique and Emperor Shaolong;
However, Emperor Shaolong failed to follow his plan and completely lost the support of the late emperor's remaining ministers.
Otherwise, it is really difficult to predict what the situation between the government and the opposition in Oyoshi will be like now.
Although it is said that the Sikong Mansion is now more powerful and more prestigious, and there is no problem even starting to arrange the abdication at this time, the historical evaluation cannot escape flaws.
Historical evaluation is not illusory, nor is it simply a weighing of one's posthumous reputation. Rather, one must consider the historical evaluation of "unjust success of the country", which is very likely to plant hidden dangers of instability for the new dynasty - at this time, the opposition forces between the government and the opposition are not
Not just people like Ge Boyi and Gao Junyang, but more importantly, it was the extremely large group of gentry who feared and resisted the New Deal from the bottom of their hearts.
The marriage between Princess Yingyun and Xu Huai can not only minimize the hidden dangers of future turmoil, but also solve many unresolved problems at the moment.
Qian Zerui, Liu Shiwang, Liu Yan, Yang Qiye, Chen Jin, Ling Jian, Yu Gong, Yu Zheng, Han Wende, Qiao Jien, Chen Yougui and other surviving officials of the late emperor can truly let go of their mental barriers and fully integrate into Sikong Mansion.
Zhu Hang, Hu Kai, Liu Xian and others are considered die-hards of the late emperor's legacy, and it is foreseeable that their attitudes will change due to the marriage; Han Gui, Gu Fan and others even hope that Liu Xian will come forward to promote the marriage.
Dongchuan Road, run by Gu Jiqian, Gu Cong and his son, has worked closely with Jingxiang over the years and has maintained a good personal relationship.
However, after the escape from Beijing incident, even if there were no major changes in the coordinated operations with Sikong Mansion, the military cooperation between the two parties was not interrupted, and there was no intention to strengthen the control of Dongchuan Road, state and county officials always accepted the appointment of the central government, but even if
After Han Shiliang led the Longwu Army to make their choice, Gu remained silent on the fundamental decision.
After all, the Gu family still regards themselves as the deceased emperor's descendants.
There is no other way, the late emperor’s surviving ministers are still too shameless
Liu Xian did not serve as an official, Hu Kai lived idle in Hengzhou and did not return to Xiangyang, and Liu Yan, Qian Zerui and others also expressed their intention to return to their hometowns after becoming official officials many times.
However, it was precisely because these people were so shameless that the world did not completely collapse after the fall of Bianliang.
Otherwise, Chushan would be unable to support itself alone.
The marriage between Princess Yingyun and Xu Huai enabled Xu Huai to legitimately inherit the late emperor's political legacy.
Not only will this prevent Hu Kai, Liu Xian and others from becoming obstacles in the future, but it will also make the Xiaosheng Army, Xuanwu Army and Jingsheng Army no longer different from the Tianxiong Army and Xuanfeng Army, completely becoming Sikong.
As a direct descendant of the government, the problem of Dongchuan Road will also be solved.
If they hadn't acted too eagerly, Zhou He would have dragged Gu Fan and others to Prince Qi's Mansion to pay his respects to Princess Yingyun.
