The fifty-third chapter Shi Hu ascends the throne and succeeds the emperor, and Li Nong leads the order to go out on an expedition to quell the chaos
"Whoosh." An arrow shot out.
At the Tuhe school grounds, Murong Ba galloped on his black horse "Wuli" and walked to the target. He saw him raising his bow and shooting an arrow on the horse, hitting the target.
"Good archery skills." Someone on the side cheered loudly.
Murong Ba looked back and saw that it was Gao Bi.
"It turns out it's Gao Bi." Murong Ba galloped up to Gao Bi on horseback. He raised his hand and the iron-tied hard bow was immediately caught by the groom on the side. He jumped off the horse and asked, "Bring it to me from the south."
What’s the news?”
"Young Master is really smart." Gao Bi took out a letter from his chest. Murong Ba just took it and started reading it. He was surprised and happy, and said: "It seems that there is a big change in the Central Plains. Our Tuhe army will be of great use."
The place of martial arts.”
Murong Ba then put the letter away, changed his expression and asked Gao Bi: "Brother Gao knows such important news so quickly."
Gao Bi laughed and said, "Haha, isn't there Mrs. Lao Sao?"
"Who's talking about me again?" As he said this, he saw Duan Xian walking slowly at the entrance of the school ground with a smile on his face. Xiao Min next to him was following with a lunch box.
I saw Murong Ba approaching me, trying to get something to eat from the lunch box, but while taking it, he said, "It turns out that Madam is here, and she's too far away to greet you. Please come quickly."
"Pah!" Duan Xian slapped Murong Ba's hand away, "Quick, why don't you wash your dirty hands?"
Murong Ba only turned over the palm of his hand, but the hand that was holding the bow just now was completely black, and he hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, I will obey Madam's order."
After a while, Murong Ba came back and saw that Duan Xian had laid out the meals one by one, with a pot of fine Lanling Chun wine beside him.
Seeing Murong Ba coming back, Gao Bi hurriedly said: "Thanks to the help of my sister-in-law's clan, we have heard all the news about the Zhao Kingdom, so we can make preparations in advance."
Duan Xian replied: "Duan Qinsu was friendly with me when we were in Lingzhi City. Although he is in the Kingdom of Zhao, he has the ambition to be independent."
While drinking, Murong Ba asked: "Gao Bi, tell me that the Liangdu Rebellion has begun in the Zhao Kingdom. I heard that the Zhao Lord Shi Hu has appointed his youngest son Shi Shi as the crown prince. There are strong enemies outside and trouble inside. If the palace is unstable,
The building will collapse."
Gao Bi gently filled the wine glass in front of him and said: "It has been a common practice since ancient times to love the youngest, and Shi Hu is not exempt from this custom. Zhao Sikong and Li Nong thought that there was a clan member Shi Bin in the Shi world, Shi Zun assisted him, and Zhang outside
If Li Nong helps you, the emperor and his ministers will be in peace, don't you know. The son is weak and the mother is strong, which should cause those who are watching the throne to become restless. If there are treacherous ministers, the country of Zhao may be in danger."
Murong Ba smiled and said: "Shi Hong, the former leader of the Zhao Kingdom, was young and was deprived of his throne by his uncle Shi Hu. I didn't expect that Shi Hu would also be exempted from vulgarity. Our Yan Kingdom has gone through three generations since our ancestor Murong Xin, and all the successors are
Only with excellent strategy, bravery and military prowess can our country of Yan be able to dominate the world."
Gao Bi drank the wine in the cup and said: "What you are saying is that I heard that the prince Murong Ye is eager to learn, intelligent, courteous and loves the virtuous. He has the style of an ancient wise king. In time, he will be a wise king again."
"Gao Bi, it's true as you say. I love this nephew of mine very much. I have a successor to the Yan Kingdom." Murong Ba was overjoyed and ordered, "Xiao Min, hurry up and serve the wine."
The capital of Zhao State: Yecheng, the largest city in Hebei. After the Yongjia Rebellion, Chang'an and Luoyang, the two capitals of the Han Dynasty, were repeatedly massacred. The palaces were dilapidated and people's livelihood was in decline. However, Yecheng on the bank of the Zhang River was located in the middle of Hebei.
, lasting.
After Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, destroyed Yuan Shao and pacified Hebei after the Battle of Guandu at the end of the Han Dynasty, he made it the capital of the Wei Kingdom and began to build it aggressively.
Historical records: "Using the power of the people of Jizhou and using materials from Shangdang mountains and forests, the system is magnificent and can be seen in Wenchang, Tingzheng and other halls, the golden tiger, the bronze bird's platform, the singing crane, and the catalpa palace."
Three platforms were built in the northwest of Ye City: the Golden Tiger Platform, the Bronze Bird Platform, and the Bingjing Platform. Under the Bronze Bird Platform, the Zhang River was diverted to flow underneath it. The platform was ten feet high, with palaces lined up on top of it. Bronze birds were placed on the ridges of the palaces.
It was taken from the meaning of "a phoenix emperor cast in bronze five feet high, decorated with gold, and resting on a house" during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. It is magnificent and majestic.
Although there were massacres in the Eight Kings Rebellion and the disaster of Jisang burning Ye City, in the end, because it had "three solid platforms, Pingyang in the west, mountains and rivers on the four sides, and the power of throat, it was suitable to move to the north and attack the rebels."
Huaifu, Heshuo is established, and there is no place for the general's right." The gain or loss of Yecheng is related to the situation in Hebei, and no prince dares to act lightly. Therefore, Shi Le, the former king of Zhao State, took Xiangguo and Yecheng in Hebei as his foundation, and moved westward to
Liu Han, former Zhao Zhengxiong.
Therefore, since the Shi clan of Jie Zhao usurped the Zhongzhou artifact, they rebuilt the city of Ye. They even moved the capital to Ye city before Shihu, and even built palaces on a grand scale, which were even more magnificent than those of Cao Wei. Its main hall, Taiwu Hall, has a base height of 2.8 feet.
The ruler is decorated with aragonite. Below it is a hidden chamber, and five hundred guards are placed in it. Seventy-five steps from east to west and sixty-five steps from north to south. They are all lacquered tiles, gold bells, silver couplets, gold pillars, bead curtains, and jade.
Bi, extremely skilled, rare in this world.
In the first month of that year, Shi Hu was in the main hall of Ye Palace: Taiwu Hall, where he accepted the report from hundreds of officials, and he was the emperor. He changed the title to Taining, and was Emperor Wu of Zhao. Then an edict was issued to make Shi Shi the prince and Liu Zhaoyi the queen.
Among the ministers, those who have reviewed the historical records know that the patient who is deeply affected by the imperial power is the weak master and the strong mother, and they are afraid that Zhao Guo will have the disaster of Gou Yi again. However, Shi Hu insists on going his own way, and the ministers are deeply afraid of his cruelty. During the ceremony, Taiwei Zhang Ju,
Sikong Li Nong was the leader. Since he had communicated with the ministers in private before, all the ministers came forward to express their approval. Yang Huan, the chamberlain, read them out one by one. However, the great minister, Cao Mo, refused to sign the petition.
When asked, he kowtowed in the main hall and said: "The world's most important weapons are not suitable for young people, so I dare not sign them."
Shi Hu looked at him, perhaps because of the mass murderers, or perhaps because the hero was late, he sighed and said: "Cao Mo is a loyal minister, but it is a pity that he did not follow my wishes. Only Zhang Ju and Li Nong can understand my wishes, but
I want to convey my grievance to avoid misunderstanding." He didn't pursue it.
After Shi Hu established the crown prince Shishi, he originally wanted to cultivate himself for a few more years, but he didn't know whether it was because he killed his son too much or because Buddha Tucheng's words came true. His health was getting worse day by day, and Shi Hu's illness gradually showed signs of the end of the world.
After he made Shi Shi the crown prince that day, although he had intended to use it for ten years to bring peace to the world, his health was deteriorating day by day. He wanted to pray to God for blessings in the hope of extending his lifespan.
On that day, a high platform was set up in the southern suburbs of Yecheng to worship heaven and earth, and the emperor's official robes, Dharma robes, crowns reaching to the sky, jade seals, mysterious clothes, paintings of the sun and moon, fire dragons, furry dragons, Chinese insects, rice noodles, and car robes were specially set up.
, gold-rooted jade chariots, dozens of leather chariots, thought to be regulated by the emperor.
Little did he know that God was not kind to him. When he climbed up to the high platform, he was suddenly hit by wind and sand. The yellow sand filled the sky and everyone could not open their eyes.
After returning to the palace, the high fever persisted for ten months, and Emperor Zhao's health was getting worse and worse. It was the time when the emperor ascended the throne and wanted to grant amnesty to the world, but unexpectedly he fell ill. The amnesty edict was written by minister Liu Hou and others. I don't know if it was intentional.
What's more, it was a deliberate omission. Empress Zhang and Liu, who had always been wary of the late prince Shi Xuan, did not say anything about amnesty to the former East Palace guard Gao Li, which ultimately led to great disaster.
On this day at the court, Shi Hu fell ill and went to court. He saw that the imperial case was piled with military reports from Yongliang.
Shi Hu looked at the ministers standing solemnly under the grand hall with a stern expression, and said in a serious tone: "The deposed prince's bodyguard Gao Li made a rebellion. I heard that there were only ten thousand people who were exiled to Liangzhou. How did the thieves reach this point and attack them?"
Xia Bian defeated Liu Ning. Since the uprising, he has stormed the city and conquered all directions. He killed the chief officials and two thousand senior officials. He drove eastward and reached Chang'an with more than 100,000 troops. I think back then I diverted my troops to the Central Plains.
, how to get here.”
"Ahem." Shi Hu became more and more excited as he talked and kept coughing.
Only Emperor Zhao's voice echoed in the empty hall, and all the officials were silent and did not dare to speak.
Attendant Xu Tong added: "Therefore, Prince Shi Xuan defeated Xianbei in Shuofang and beheaded 30,000 people. He also defeated Hu Motou and beheaded 40,000 people all because of Gao Li's power. Many of them were loyal..."
Zhang Jack interrupted Xu Tong's words: "What is loyalty? Loyalty to Your Majesty is loyalty. Although you have some merits, if you are not loyal to Your Majesty and are only loyal to the old master, it will be very harmful to the country."
All the ministers were silent. Seeing this, Zhang Jack continued to speak: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty. I heard that the guard general of Chang'an is King Shibao of Leping. He has always been brave and strategic. In addition, the city of Chang'an is high and deep, and the city is strong. We Zhao
The elite troops in the western part of the army are all in Chang'an, and they will definitely be able to defeat the bandits in one battle."
"Report, urgent report from Chang'an!" A sergeant outside the main hall was covered in blood and his armor was broken. It looked like he had survived by chance after the battle.
"Quickly, bring it here and help the man down to rest." A female officer hurriedly went down to get the urgent report.
Shi Hu did not like eunuchs, so there were many female officials in the inner court.
Shi Hu hurriedly read it, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he almost fainted. The Taiwei Zhang Ju hurriedly signaled to the female officer to show him the memorial. Zhang Ju hurriedly read it, and the army reported: The chaos in Gaoli is serious.
, the situation is critical, and Shibao's elite will be wiped out in one battle, and all the land in Guanzhong will be lost to Zhao. Now Liang Du leads the army out of Tongguan, and his troops are pointing directly at Luoyang. If Luoyang appears again, Zhao may have
The calamity inside and outside the heart will put the country in danger.
Shi Hu regained his composure and asked: "Who among you dear friends can lead the army on the expedition?"
Attendant Xu Tong reported: "I ask King Yan Shi Bin to discuss it."
Zhang Jack stepped forward to argue again: "No, King Shi Bin of Yan's mother was born in a lowly family, and was reprimanded by His Majesty. She is often suspicious. I am afraid that Shi Bin will lead a large army outside, like a dragon entering the sea, and he will not be able to control it."
Because Zhang Jack supported Shi Shi as the crown prince, he always had a grudge against Shi Bin, fearing that Shi Bin would have a large number of troops and be detrimental to the crown prince.
All the ministers cherished their lives and cared about themselves, and did not want to offend the prince's line, so the court was in turmoil and discussed for a long time.
"Where is Li Nong?" Shi Hu suddenly asked.
"I'm here." Li Nong took a step forward.
Shi Hu stared at Li Nong and said: "Sikong Li Nong has been familiar with military affairs for a long time. He has conquered the Jin Dynasty in the south and the Yan Kingdom in the north. He has made great achievements. Now I want you to lead the Zhao army to reject Liangdu and protect Luoyang. Is it okay?"
At this time, Li Nong was undecided. If he won, he would be a great contributor to the imperial court. However, since he was already in the position of a minister, he was afraid that his achievements would shock his master. If he lost, it would be Zhang Jack's excuse, and he would be deprived of political power and military power.
Li Nong looked sideways at Zhang Jackal and saw him looking at him with a sinister smile on his face.
"Sure enough, it's him." Li Nong secretly cried out in his heart.
Shi Hu then asked: "Li Sikong, can you take on this important responsibility?"
Just at this moment, Zhang Ju stood up and said: "I recommend Li Nong. I second the proposal."
Li Nong looked back at Zhang Ju, but Zhang Ju nodded firmly.
Li Nong couldn't care about so much anymore and hurriedly reported back: "I am determined to go through fire and water to attack Liangdu and protect my Luoyang."
Shi Hu stood up, looked down at the ministers in the hall, and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
All the ministers remained silent, and after a while they all bowed and saluted: "I second the proposal."
Shi Hu ordered the female official to preach: "Female Li Nong as the Grand Governor, conduct military affairs as a general, command the troops of the world, and lead one hundred thousand troops to conquer Liang Du."
Li Nong knelt down to thank Emperor Zhao and accepted the imperial edict.
The female official declared: "Retreat from the court."
The ministers gradually retreated, passed through the Duanmen, exited the Changhemen, and went out of the palace. The servants of the ministers were waiting outside to pick up their masters and take them back to the palace.
Just after leaving Duanmen, Li Nong hurriedly caught up with Zhang Ju and said: "Zhang Taiwei, why did you recommend me just now? Don't you know that this kind of joint is very big and I may not be able to deal with it."
Zhang Ju said with a smile: "Li Sikong, as my ministers see, this is a great opportunity to highlight the military might of our Han people."
Li Nong only looked at him suspiciously.
I saw Zhang raising money and saying: "My ancestor Zhang Bin was very respectful to Shi Le, but he was looked down upon by the disciples. Why? I have no military power. Now Liangdu's rebellion is about to start, Li Sikong can integrate the beggars
If you win in the living army, you will naturally be promoted to an official position, which is extremely valuable. However, before the defeat, there was an example of King Shibao of Leping, who was not reprimanded. In addition, I will support you in the court, so there will be no worries."
Seeing that Li Nong was still undecided, Zhang Ju sent his servants to call for a man to come over. He saw that the man had a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing.
The man said directly to Li Nong: "Is Mr. Li okay when you come?"
Li Nong was quite surprised, "So it's you, Shi Min?"
Zhang Ju said: "This is also Shi Min's plan."
Li Nong said happily: "If that's the case, what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that these two people were familiar with each other, Zhang Ju felt inconvenient to be around, so he bid farewell to them.
Seeing Zhang Ju walking away, Shi Min only whispered: "The Governor is in charge of the political affairs of Zhao State, and now he is also leading the military affairs. I am afraid that he will not be rewarded because of his high position. This time, Mr. Li will just gather my begging army members."
, to preserve our power in the hope of fighting again. If we are defeated and our Han army gathers, Shi Hu and Zhang Jack will definitely be wary, so the governor will have nothing to worry about."
Li Nong was overjoyed and said, "Now that I hear your words, it really clears up the doubts in my heart."
Shi Min only stepped forward and said: "Great Governor, it is not convenient to go into details here. Although Your Majesty has established the Shishi, there are many ministers and princes who are dissatisfied. In the current Liangdu Rebellion, all forces have taken advantage of this to expand.
Pu Hong of the Di people, Yao Yizhong of the Qiang people, and Shi Bin, among the princes, have also been familiar with military affairs for a long time and want to expand their subordinates. We Han people must strive to protect ourselves in this situation."
Li Nong only smiled and said: "It seems that although your surname is Shi, you are not in Hutong."
"There is no hope for the throne and for me. Min just feels that Zhang Jack and Empress Liu are jealous of the virtuous and narrow-minded. In addition, Shi Shi is young and the country is in danger. If there is no Ming lord to succeed to the throne, our Zhao country will be in danger. We are in troubled times.
Think about how to protect yourself."
Li Nong praised and said: "Brother Min has such insight and traveled far away from the Shi family. I feel sorry that you are just raising a grandson." At this time, Li Nong suddenly changed his expression and said, "Shi Yun, what should we do?"
Shi Min didn't take it seriously, "Nowadays, everything is complicated, the emperor is seriously ill, and the new emperor has not yet arrived. Who will think of it after a while? Haha."
