Chapter 1,750: Unify the world and ascend the throne as emperor
Chapter 1750 Unify the world and ascend the throne as emperor
The general of cavalry is a military position second only to the general and the general of hussars, and has the power to open mansions and build teeth.
Coupled with the title of Duke of Qi, even the prime minister had to greet Su Mingzhe first.
In addition, Sima Pi also gave Su Mingzhe the title of a border official who led Yanzhou and the governor of Youzhou.
Judging from this step, Su Mingzhe's status in the Jin Kingdom was second only to Emperor Sima Pi and Governor Huan Wen.
Another year has passed.
The Yan people did not have a long memory, so they went south again.
However, this time, instead of a million-strong army, an army of 500,000 went straight to the land of Qilu.
As a cavalry general, Su Mingzhe had only 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Faced with the onslaught of an army of 500,000 troops, Su Mingzhe did not choose to fight hard, but avoided the battle.
One month later.
The Yan people continuously attacked the city without success, but lost more than 100,000 troops. In addition, Su Mingzhe kept sending people to harass the grain road, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Another year has passed.
The Yan people continued to send an army of 500,000 people southward, as if they were going to confront Su Mingzhe.
The Yan people thought that Su Mingzhe would continue to hold on.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, Su Mingzhe suddenly led an army of 100,000 people and took a boat from the sea to swoop into Jizhou, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
The Yan people were completely unprepared and were defeated by Su Mingzhe in a single battle, capturing tens of thousands of Xianbei nobles of the Yan state.
After Emperor Yan was captured, he had no choice but to surrender.
The news spread back to Jiangnan.
Sima Pi promoted Su Mingzhe to the rank of Grand Governor, commander-in-chief of You, and the governor of five states including Ji, Yan, and Qing. He was also the governor of all Chinese and foreign military forces.
This was originally the treatment given to Huan Wen, the former governor-general.
Now, it was all transferred to Su Mingzhe by Sima Pi.
As for the Grand Governor Huan Wen, he was promoted openly and secretly, and was transferred to the capital to serve as the crown prince's Taibao and Taiwei.
Huan Wen, who had always cherished the dream of being an emperor, knew that if he accepted the imperial decree and became a captain, he would never be able to realize his dream.
After thinking for several days, Huan Wen finally failed to resist his ambition to proclaim himself emperor. With the support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Huangpao joined forces and separatized Bashu, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places. He proclaimed himself emperor in Jingzhou and named his country Chu.
When the news spread back to Jiangnan, Sima Pi was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
Half a month later.
Sima Pi was seriously ill and died.
Sima Pi's younger brother Sima Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
…
Huan Wen issued an edict to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The edict accused Sima Yi of poisoning his brother Sima Pi and usurping the throne to proclaim himself emperor.
Sima Yi naturally refused to admit this account and immediately called on the soldiers and horses of the world to be diligent.
It was also a good time for Huan Wen to proclaim himself emperor. Su Mingzhe was leading his army to the north of Jizhou to attack Khitan, Fuyu, and Goguryeo, but he was unable to return.
…
When Su Mingzhe destroyed Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Gaya, and returned to the Central Plains, he got news of the collapse of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Sima Yi, the last emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, became Huan Wen's prisoner.
…
Two years later.
Su Mingzhe led an army of 500,000 to capture Qin, captured King Fu Jian of Qin, and proclaimed himself King of Qi.
Huan Wen wrote a letter expressing his willingness to "rule Qi and Chu by dividing the river, with the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains as the boundaries, and treat each other as brothers and states."
Naturally, Su Mingzhe would not agree and directly refused sternly. He also said that he would definitely avenge Emperor Ai of Jin (Sima Pi).
…
Huan Wen became emperor in the fifth year.
Su Mingzhe finally unified the north and annexed the eight major foreign tribes, including the Qiang, Di, Xianbei, Turks, Xiongnu, Jie, Rouran, and Khitan.
There are several great heroes here, the first one is Ran Min, the King of Wu Dao.
Decades ago, the Wuhu people occupied the north and treated the Han people as two-legged sheep, killing them wantonly and almost exterminating them.
Fortunately, Ran Min issued a "Destroy the Hu Order" to support the Han people and gave them a glimmer of hope.
The second great hero should be Qin Wang Fu Jian.
After Fu Jian inherited the throne of King Qin more than ten years ago, he began to implement a gentle policy and integrate various ethnic groups.
It was precisely because of Fu Jian's more than ten years of hard work that Su Mingzhe did not encounter strong resistance when he annexed the eight major alien races.
…
Huan Wen became emperor in the seventh year.
Su Mingzhe ended his recuperation and personally led an army of 500,000 people to go south to attack Chu.
When the army on the west route conquered Bashu, the army on the east route conquered Jiangnan, and the army on the middle route arrived in Jingzhou, Emperor Huanwen of Chu died of illness.
Huan Wen's younger brother Huan Huo was elected as the new emperor by the ministers.
After Huan Huo became emperor, he immediately sent someone to ask Su Mingzhe to surrender.
Su Mingzhe accepted the other party's surrender and named him the Marquis of Anle.
This October.
Su Mingzhe returned to Chang'an City, formally worshiped heaven, declared that he would dominate the world, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Qi.
After Su Mingzhe became emperor, he named Zhu Yingtai as the Queen of the Main Palace, Xie Daoyun as the Queen of the East Palace, and Wang Lan as the Queen of the West Palace.
Respect Su's father as the Supreme Emperor and Su's mother as the Empress Dowager.
At the same time, Sima Pi's wife Wang Muzhi was honored as the Queen Mother of Jin and supported in the palace.
As for the Empress Dowager Chu during the Sima Pi period, she was already an old woman in her fifties and was sent to a nunnery by Su Mingzhe for retirement.
…
The reason why Zhu Yingtai was canonized as the empress of the palace instead of Xie Daoyun was very simple. Xie Daoyun and Wang Lan were both physically ill and infertile, so they were not suitable for the position of empress of the palace in the world of maternal rites.
Zhu Yingtai gave birth to three sons and two daughters within ten years of marrying Su Mingzhe.
Although Xie Daoyun placed the son born by his maid Qingyin under his knees to raise him, after all, he was not born by the queen herself.
If you really think about it, only the son born to Zhu Yingtai can be called the legitimate prince.
…
This day.
The enthronement ceremony is over.
Su Mingzhe came to Jiaofang Hall where the queen lived.
Zhu Yingtai, who was having a banquet, saw the man arriving and quickly took the girls to say hello.
"My beloved concubines are exempt from the gift!"
Su Mingzhe first helped Zhu Yingtai, and then the other two queens, Xie Daoyun and Wang Lan.
As for other women, such as Wang Yanzhi, Yu Wuxia, Gu Xinlian and other women, they are not qualified for his support.
…
Everyone took their seats again.
Su Mingzhe saw that some of the concubines had a shadow hanging between their eyebrows. After thinking for a moment, he wanted to understand what these women were thinking. He immediately reiterated that there is a difference between concubines and concubines, and that his throne must be passed on to Su Wu, the eldest son of Zhu Yingtai.
Don't let other people have delusional thoughts.
Among the many concubines in the harem, Xie Daoyun and Wang Lan didn't have much idea.
After all, neither of them could have children.
However, other women, such as Wang Yanzhi and Qingyin, began to murmur in their hearts.
Wang Yanzhi's eldest son is Su Mingzhe's eldest son, and he is now almost an adult.
If Su Mingzhe makes Xie Daoyun the queen of the palace, and Xie Daoyun has no biological prince, her son, as the eldest son of the emperor, might be able to compete for the throne.
The idea of voiceless sounds is similar.
She believed that she had given her son to Xie Daoyun to raise. If Xie Daoyun became the queen, then her son would be the eldest son and could naturally inherit the throne.
As a result, Su Mingzhe canonized Zhu Yingtai as the queen of the main palace. The two women's plans failed and they were inevitably disappointed.
…
The night has fallen.
When Zhu Yingtai fell asleep from exhaustion, Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand and gently slid it on the woman's smooth face. Looking at the smooth jade skin on the woman's face, there was more pity in his eyes:
"Yue Lao said that in order to prevent Zhu Yingtai from falling into the animal realm forever, he must obtain the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. I don't know what the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures mean?"
"Fortunately, Zhu Yingtai is indeed the reincarnation of Hehe Qi. I only slept with her for more than ten years, and my cultivation level has easily reached the level of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian."
"When you control the heavenly path in this world and control the flow of time, you can go to other planes and search for the true scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism."
"This is, you help me practice, and I will keep you safe!"
