Chapter 61: Huan Wen has the intention of a northern expedition, Shi Zun is trapped, and his father and son disappear
In the fourth month of the fifth year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty, Xinghuo invaded and accumulated corpses, and he also attacked Pleiades and Yue, and Yinghuobei invaded Hegu. The accountant said: "The army is rising, there is a funeral, and the disaster is in Zhao."
The leader of the Jie tribe and the emperor of Zhao State, Shi Hu, passed away in the Jinhua Hall of Yecheng.
Prince Shi Shi then came to the throne and respected Liu as the empress dowager. Liu came to the court and wanted to make Zhang Jie the prime minister, but Zhang Jie refused.
Although Zhang Jie has now mastered the defense of Ye City and the imperial city guard, he still has little experience in the Zhao army. He proposed to Emperor Zhao and Empress Dowager Liu that he wanted to establish left and right prime ministers, with King Shi Zun of Pengcheng and King Shi Jian of Yiyang as their respective leaders.
In order to appease the Shi clan, Empress Dowager Liu followed her.
Now that Shi Hu is gone, the powerful minister Shi Bin has also died long ago. The Zhao Kingdom's frontier ministers and powerful generals are all waiting for the opportunity to move, and the Zhao Kingdom's chaos is coming. The Central Plains scholars, who have already suffered from the chaos, will experience another unprecedented situation.
The chaos. On the broken land of the Central Plains, wars were once again at war, and all life was in ruins.
Some people have seen through the prospects of the Zhao State, such as Xu Tong, the minister of the Zhao State, who retired from the court that day and returned to his home. He retreated to the left and right, drank poisonous wine in the hall, and sighed: "Chaos is about to happen, and I can't prevent it."
In the four directions, everyone is watching with eager eyes.
Residence of General Zhengxi in Jingzhou
"Report, General Anlu has been rewarded. Shi Hu, the false king of Zhao, died yesterday, and now the young master Shi Shi has ascended the throne." Huan Wen was discussing matters with other generals in the hall at this time, when he suddenly received a report from the scouts, and he was overjoyed.
"Haha, I got what I wanted. This tiger finally died." Huan Wen laughed and said, "The State of Zhao actually found a kid to be the emperor. God helps me. At this time, we will sweep north to the Central Plains and return to the Central Plains."
In the old capital."
A person from the government complimented: "General, you should have Wang Dun's achievements, enter the center, add nine tins, and all the military and political affairs of the Jin Dynasty will be returned to the general."
"Huh?" Huan Wen said noncommittally: "Wang Dunzhi's achievements are small. I should pursue King Sima Xuan." After saying this, Huan Wen laughed.
After hearing this, everyone was startled for a moment, and then they also agreed: "There is no one in our court who is more heroic and majestic than the general."
"General, the trouble is not on the outside, but on the inside." Longxiang General Yuan Qiao stood up and bowed to Huan Wen and said, "General, the great general has conquered Shu. His achievements are unprecedented since the Jin Dynasty moved south. If it happens again.
Defeat Luoyang and welcome the late emperor Zi Palace. The achievements are so awesome that the Jin Dynasty should reward them. Since ancient times: "Those who shake the master are in danger, and those who have made great contributions to the world will not be rewarded." The ministers of Jiankang will definitely restrain the generals in many ways. The ministers stole it for
The general's plan is to prepare for the situation, repair the armaments, and recruit the refugees to expand the army. He also wrote a letter about the Northern Expedition to observe the trend of Jiankang. Ahem." After saying this, Yuan Qiao kept coughing.
Huan Wen hurriedly stood up, helped him sit down and rested, and said: "I relied on your efforts to pacify the Han Dynasty. Now that the north is in turmoil, we must act when the opportunity arises, and we rely more on Yuan Yanshu's plan."
"The general has been over-honored. That day I returned to the capital and looked at the ministers in the court. Yin Hao had the ambition of the Northern Expedition, and Chu Pei, the father of the Empress Dowager Chu, also had the same intention. However, both of them liked to talk and did not join the army.
There will definitely be trouble in the future. Ahem..." After saying this, Yuan Qiao held on to the seat, tried to support his body and said, "General, why do you have to be the first bird? If you lose in the middle, you can only rely on the general's orders."
Huan Wen thought for a while and said, "Yin Hao, I have always known that he is a man of virtue and talent. If he is given the title of punishment, he should be able to intimidate and punish him. If he is used in military affairs, it will go against his talents. It is a pity."
Huan Wen supported Yuan Qiao and said: "You also know what I mean. If someone comes, help the general back to the inner hall to rest."
Yuan Qiao was still worried: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Although the Jin Dynasty has established its foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, its military strength has been stagnant for a long time. The problem is that everyone in the gentry is selfish and cannot devote all their efforts to protect the country. The ministers have entered
At the time of Yangzhou, there were a large number of people flowing from Guanjingkou, and the hearts of the soldiers were available, so we should recruit strong and brave people to join the army."
Huan Wen thought for a while and said: "Jingkou wine can be drunk, skips can be used, and soldiers can be used. If we can recruit the strength of the refugees, it will be of great benefit to our army. But who can recruit them for me?"
Yuan Qiao supported the sick body and said: "General, if you want the power of the refugees, you must carry out 'earth destruction'."
"Tudi Duan?"
"Ahem, general, in order to increase taxes when Emperor Cheng was here, he incorporated the overseas residents into the household registration of the counties and counties where they were located, checked the hidden household registrations, and expanded the registered population. However, the government has ceased after the death of the people. If the general wants to expand his troops and attract the refugees, he must make a decisive move. Ahem.
Cough." Yuan Qiao finally couldn't hold it any longer.
When Huan Wen saw that Yuan Qiao was seriously ill, he hurriedly ordered people to send him back to his residence to rest.
Watching Yuan Qiao leave the house, Huan Wen murmured to himself: "Without Yuan Qiao, how could I be in the prominent position I am today?" Looking back, he said, "What Mr. Yuan said is a plan to enrich the country and strengthen the army. If I can take charge
Government affairs must be carried out with due diligence."
Yuan Qiao was very talented, learned, and courageous. Unfortunately, he was injured several times during the Battle of Pingshu. Although he was treated, his health had been deteriorating since he last entered Jiankang. Huan Wen was very worried.
Huan Wen returned to his residence and stood still: "I am ordering all armies to prepare their troops and horses. All generals must be mindful of recovering the Central Plains from the north."
The generals in the hall stood up and said, "I will take your orders."
At this time, Wei County, Zhao State.
On the official road leaving Yecheng, a group of sergeants were walking slowly under the setting sun. They didn't know where they were going, as long as they were as far away from Yecheng as possible.
A few days ago, in the Changle Palace on the outskirts of Yecheng, Shi Zun had been here for a long time, and every day he just wandered around among the orchestral music, silk and bamboo, and the beautiful wine and food.
During the Yongjia Rebellion, the sea fell apart, and all the officials and musicians were captured by Liu Yuan. Shi Le killed Liu Yao, and the musicians were resettled in Yecheng. The Jin Dynasty suffered from the lack of dance of eight people, but in
In the hinterland of Hebei, the sound of bells and tripods still exists, especially in the city of Ye.
At this time, in Changle Palace, musicians were playing the ancient elegant music "Zou Yu".
The co-authored song: "He is a wild man, and five cockroaches are sent out at one time, and he is like Zou Yu..." The dancer's waist is tied, the skirt of her lower body is dropped to the ground, her face is shaped like a dimple, she is holding a round fan, and the top of her head is
The flying fairy bun flips up and down with the music, like a fairy landing on earth.
The musicians and dancers were playing seriously. Shi Zun on the high platform just kept drinking and had no interest in the dance in front of him. At this time, there was a "bang" and Shi Zun on the table just threw his wine glass angrily at the hall.
There seemed to be an unknown anger with nowhere to vent. The music stopped instantly, and the dancers and musicians came to the hall to apologize.
At this time, Meng Zhun quietly came in from the side hall from outside the hall. Seeing those people kneeling under the hall, Meng Zhun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "King Pengcheng, these people are just following orders, and it is useless to blame them.
I’m afraid someone will take advantage of me.”
Shi Zun only smiled bitterly and said: "My father called me to the capital. Now more than ten days have passed and there is no news. Meng Zhun, do you think I just came here to listen to Huang Zhongdalu?" Then he asked quietly, "
You have been in Yecheng for a long time, do you have any news?"
Meng Zhun came closer and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly why I came here." Meng Zhun looked at the musicians in the hall with a blank expression.
Shi Zun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait here, you don't need your service here."
Meng Zhun spoke even more mysteriously, "Your Majesty, when I come back this time, I also brought someone with me. This person is waiting in the side hall. I hope that Your Majesty will condescend to go and meet him."
"Isn't it inappropriate that there is no one else here?" Shi Zun was very doubtful.
Meng Zhun said nothing, only stood up and made a decisive gesture of farewell, "King Pengcheng, please."
Shi Zun only followed Meng Zhun through the side hall, which had been arranged in advance by Meng Zhun. It was empty except for a woman standing with her back in a dark place in the hall. Shi Zun walked in slowly, and the man turned around
Remove a veil.
"Shi Yun, why is it you? You're not..." The moment Shi Yun took off the veil, Shi Zun was confused and a little shocked.
"Isn't he dead?" Shi Yun said calmly, "I've only died once. If it weren't for Zhao Guo, the prince, I would really want to die."
"Prince? How are you doing, brother?" Shi Zun returned to normal and asked hurriedly.
Shi Yun just stepped forward and looked at him carefully.
"You have a resurrected buttocks. I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are a few fatter than the last time I saw you."
Shi Zun smiled bitterly and said: "I have been wandering around in the Anle Palace for several days in a row. I sent people to Yecheng but no one was summoned. It's really an 'anle'."
Shi Yun walked around him, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but said angrily: "How did our Shi clan end up like this? Shi Zun, now King Yan Shi Bin is dead, and Emperor Shi Hu's life and death are unknown. If we don't work hard, Shi Zun
The empire of our ancestors has been lost in your hands and mine."
Shi Zun lowered his head and remained silent. Shi Yun continued: "I was entrusted by my younger brother. Without his help, I would not be able to get out of this city. The prince asked me to tell you that Ye City has undergone great changes. Leave as soon as possible."
."
After hearing this, Shi Zun raised his head and said doubtfully: "I came here on the order of my father. Is it inappropriate to leave like this before I see my father?"
"Now that Empress Liu of Yecheng has colluded with Zhang Jack inside and outside, the government is controlled by Zhang Jack's clan. If you stay here for a long time, you will be like 'I am a knife and I am a fish'. Sooner or later, Zhang Jack's butcher's knife will hit your head. Take advantage of Ye now
No one in the city will notice you, so leave immediately."
At this moment, there was a burst of neat footsteps outside the palace gate, and the leader shouted: "King Pengcheng has received the order."
When Shi Zun heard his name being called, he was at a loss for words. He just wanted to escape, but Shi Yun shouted: "King Pengcheng, where are you going?"
Shi Zun just covered his face, but he looked like a child who had made a mistake, "Now the life and death of my father are unknown, and the government is controlled by Empress Zhang and Liu, according to you. The person who came here is definitely going to take my life. If I don't escape now, how long will it take?"
"Alas," Shi Yun sighed, "among my Shi family members, it is true that King Yan has military strategy and King Pengcheng has literary virtues. But now that King Yan is dead, I can only count on you, King Pengcheng."
Shi Zun just waved his hand and said: "My half-brother Shi Sui was deposed. Because he was not involved in military affairs, he has always been able to survive by entertaining himself with calligraphy and painting. Who would have thought that he would be in danger now."
Shi Yun raised his brows and said suddenly: "King Pengcheng has never done anything wrong, and now he is keeping to himself. I don't think he wants to take your life."
Meng Zhun also said: "Princess Shi Yun is right. Now everyone in the Zhao Kingdom knows that you are the most respectful person among all the people. If you leave now, you must be betraying your will. There is no harm in continuing."
Shi Zun looked at the two of them, straightened his clothes for a while, and left the palace to receive the order.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a Jinxian crown with two beams and a crimson court uniform. He was indeed Zhan Shi of the East Palace. Behind him were Longteng Imperial Guards all wearing five-color fine armor.
Zhan Shi of the East Palace preached: "Therefore, the prince's Xuan subordinates were deposed and Liang Du was plotting evil and causing rebellion... Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the ministers, the destiny has not changed, and the destiny has returned. There are signs of resurgence, and the king of Pengcheng, Shi Zun, is specially ordered to reward the troops.
Soldiers, to show that Emperor Zhao treats generals favorably..."
"King Pengcheng, please accept the order."
King Pengcheng took it carefully and asked: "My father called me here to entrust me with something important. Now that I haven't seen my father and my mother and concubine are in the palace, I should leave first, okay?"
"King Pengcheng, this is His Majesty's will. He only paused for a moment and then said." Looking into the palace, his eyes were deep, and he continued in a low voice, "This is also the prince's wish. The official said it softly, and I don't know the depth of it. Just ask King Pengcheng.
Let's go." After saying that, Zhan Shi from the East Palace left, leaving only the Longteng guards there.
King Pengcheng returned to the palace at this time and hurriedly asked Shi Yun: "Did you hear it? Not only my father, but also the prince wants to expel me."
"I know the leader," Shi Yun said lightly.
Shi Zun was confused now. "Shi Yun, what does the prince mean now?"
"There are also useless people around the prince. Now the government is controlled by Zhang Jack, and all the sons of the Shi family in Yecheng are being held hostage."
Shi Yun only stepped forward and pressed on carefully, his bright eyes shining particularly brightly at this time, "Driving you away from Yecheng is the intention of Liu Hou and Zhang Jack, and it is also the intention of the prince. Shi Min, a descendant of the Shi family, is also in the crusade against Liang Du's army. If
The sky has eyes. Fortunately, you survived and saved the Zhao Kingdom. This is the great fortune of our Shi clan."
Shi Zun let out a breath of air from his nose and said disdainfully: "That Shi Min is just a Han man raising a grandson. What should I do with him?"
"King Pengcheng!" Shi Yun was angry. He even thought of Hu Han in this critical moment. "Although he is an adopted grandson, he has received great favor from my Shi family. Why do you say this?"
After saying that, he handed him a note and said, "Shi Min and I have an old relationship. Seeing this, he will definitely protect you."
"Dong, dong, dong..." The drums from the direction of Yecheng sounded in unison, spreading thousands of miles away.
Shi Zun and Shi Yun also heard it, and they all looked in the direction of Yecheng. Not long after, Meng Zhun ran over in a panic and said: "At this time, there is a great mourning. Now only one person has such regulations."
"Father? To daddy!" Shi Zunxin trembled, followed by a panic. Then he felt the world was spinning and couldn't help but sit down on the bed. "I want to see my father, my father."
Shi Yun said resolutely: "Shi Zun, you have to escape now. Yecheng is a place where there is trouble and wrong. You must not come back."
