Chapter 155 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (34)
Usurping the throne is a familiar thing, and Lin Zhen has already usurped the throne once, so he is already very familiar with it this time.
During the days of preparing for the enthronement ceremony, she properly arranged the matters after the enthronement to ensure that there would be no surprises at the enthronement ceremony - such as having a long talk with Jiang Xing, asking Jiang He out for tea or something.
Except for the two people talking, no one knew what they said. They only knew that Jiang Xing and Jiang He were not in a very good mood, but Lin Zhen didn't care about this and even said that if they did anything again, he would beat them up.
pause.
In short, after the conversation with Lin Zhen, the two people calmed down visibly. Jiang Xing did not make any more trouble, and Jiang He never left the door. In the past few days, even his own Prince Chen's Mansion
Haven't been out yet.
In this way, amidst everyone's anticipation and nervousness, Jiang Wei's coronation ceremony was finally ushered in.
Jiang Xing, who was about to abdicate, had "happiness" written all over his face. He looked at Lin Zhen, who was wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe, gritted his teeth and said: "Ping Ning, I will leave this world in your hands. You want to
Be diligent and hardworking, and don’t let me down for all your hard work..."
Lin Zhen took the jade seal from Jiang Xing's hand, put it on the tray held by the ceremony officer behind him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry."
Jiang Xing was not at ease at all. But now that he was the Supreme Emperor, he could only watch Lin Zhen complete the sacrifices to heaven and earth and the ancestral temple according to the procedures, and then return to the Jinluan Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.
From inside and outside the Jinluan Palace, loud and uniform voices shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
At this point, everything in the court has finally settled. No matter how unwilling Jiang Xing is, he can only make mistakes and become a mascot-like emperor in the deep palace.
The first thing Lin Zhen did after he took the throne was to clean up the mess left by Jiang Xing - those ministers who were killed because they proposed to take charge of the war, sent people to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and if they were wronged, they would be rehabilitated immediately.
Announce to the world.
However, Jiang Xing usually confiscates the family and exterminates the whole family as soon as he comes up, not even sparing a three-year-old child. Therefore, even if they are rehabilitated, there is no way to compensate them. They can only restore their reputation and try to find the bones and bury them alive.
The officials responsible for investigating the matter were busy for many days, investigating one by one according to the list of Jiang Xing's executioners, and it took many days to basically finish the matter.
When the results of the vindication came out, not only those who were implicated in the matter, but also the officials in the court who had watched their colleagues suffer innocently could not help but cry bitterly: A cowardly and cruel monarch like Jiang Xing could not say anything suitable.
How can people not feel the sadness of killing a rabbit and a fox when all the ministers were executed for no reason? Now that they can be vindicated, it can be regarded as a little comfort in people's hearts... Alas, if Jiang Xing abdicated earlier, it would be great to replace him with the current His Majesty.
As for that…
In short, in comparison with Lin Zhen, Jiang Xing, who already has a very stretched crotch, looks even more disgusting. Fortunately, he is not in front of everyone now, otherwise some people might not be able to help but throw rotten eggs at him.
After handling this matter, news came from the border. According to Li Mo's detailed report previously placed among the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Khan was seriously ill, and several of the Khan's sons in the Golden Horde were quarreling over the position of heir.
Not open to trade.
After Lin Zhen received this urgent letter, he told the civil and military officials the news in the morning the next day: "Dear ladies, what do you think?"
Everyone digested this shocking news and started talking about it: "If something happened in the royal court of the Huns, they must not care about others. We can take the opportunity to regain our homeland!"
"I'm afraid that the Huns have been prepared for a long time and it will be difficult to attack..."
"How could we miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? I think we can take advantage of this to send troops!"
…
Lin Zhen looked at the lively discussion among the people in the hall and couldn't help but smile, his eyes wandering around to observe every official.
Everyone blushed and argued with each other for about a quarter of an hour. They found that Lin Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had not made any sound. Then he cautiously raised his eyes and found that the other party was holding up Mianqi and watching their discussion with a smile. They immediately agreed with each other.
Voice.
There was only one general who was stunned and hadn't figured out the situation yet. He was arguing with the person next to him when he saw the other person turned around and stopped talking. He was a little confused: "Hey, you haven't finished speaking yet, why don't you
said?"
Everyone cast their eyes vaguely at this dumbfounded young man.
Lin Zhen put down the ringing bead in his hand and recalled the face that was not very familiar: "Secretary of the Ministry of War, Sun Tong?"
Only then did the man realize what had happened. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."
Lin Zhen looked at him with a smile and asked, "Shilang Sun, what do you think of this matter? You might as well tell me."
Sun Tong heard what Lin Zhen said, thought about it, and then expressed his thoughts: "I believe that the numerous battles in the Xiongnu royal court will inevitably affect the deployment of troops in various places. If we want to regain the territory occupied by the Xiongnu,
It’s the most appropriate time to lose ground!”
"Haha, okay!" Lin Zhen clapped the table under his hand and said, "Shilang Sun's words are right. I am about to take this opportunity to march in the army and regain the lost territory. Since Shilang Sun said this, do you dare to lead an army to regain Liaodong?"
ah?"
Sun Tong did not expect this to happen at all. He was overjoyed and responded in a loud voice: "Thanks to your Majesty's trust, I dare not obey your orders!"
Lin Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "I am waiting for the good news that you have regained Liaodong."
After arrangements were made in Liaodong, Lin Zhen in the northwest had already chosen a candidate. She named her by name: "Li Mo!"
Li Mo stepped out in response: "I'm here."
Lin Zhen ordered in a deep voice: "You can immediately lead your troops back to the border to pursue the Xiongnu. I will leave all the matters in the northwest to you."
"Yes. I accept your order."
Many preparations before the war cannot be solved in a day or two. After arranging the generals, we also need to mobilize the army, prepare food, weapons, horses, etc. These things also need to keep the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household busy for a while.
Before Li Mo led his troops to leave the capital, Lin Zhen summoned him to meet in the Imperial Study Room and said: "General Li, after returning to the border, you can send someone to escort Huerqi back to the Mobei Golden Tent Palace."
Li Mo immediately understood what she meant: "Let him go back to make the fighting in the Huns' court more intense?"
"Yes." Lin Zhen nodded and said, "Hurqi has been captured for so long, and the Khan's sons must have criticized him, but he has been in business for many years and is the legitimate heir. Both sides have their own advantages.
When fighting breaks out, the scene becomes lively."
This was the conspiracy before the Xiongnu. Hurqi knew that he was sent back to provoke a dispute, but could he be willing not to fight? His other brothers naturally understood it, but they were willing to do so lightly for the sake of the overall situation.
Let Kurqi go?
Neither side will give up and can only fight to the death first.
