Chapter 83: In order to prevent unforeseen generals from admonishing, Shi Min finally leads the guards and guards
Speaking of the Jie tribe among the Wuhu, they originated from the Western Regions. They often have deep noses, thick eyebrows, and thick beards. They are very different from the Han people in the Central Plains. The god they worship is also very different from the Han people in the Central Plains. It is the god "Hu Tian", also
It is a type of Zoroastrianism in later generations, so the ancestral temple where sacrifices are made is also called Hutian Temple.
People in the Central Plains have always respected ghosts and gods and kept them at a distance. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, famous religions have declined, and the theory of prophecies is prevalent. In addition to the metaphysics that was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoism, which was already popular in the late Han Dynasty, was introduced from Tianzhu
Buddhism in China, Zoroastrianism in later generations, and the current god "Hu Tian" have all appeared in this land soaked in blood and hatred.
People are living in troubled times, and their lives in this world are miserable and precarious. They not only hope for the next life, but also hope to escape the sufferings of this world. Therefore, people in the world have different religious beliefs, but they all have awe of all faiths.
In Ye City, there is a Hutian Temple, and three thousand soldiers of the Jie tribe are hiding inside.
"This place is really open, and it's also an ancestral temple. I think the Han people all respect ghosts and gods and stay away from it. It's really a good place to hide." A sergeant sighed.
The elderly military leader looked at the clay sculptures in the temple and said with a smile: "Although they are wooden clay sculptures, they are just bluffing. But without them, this place would be no different from ordinary residential buildings."
While he was talking, the sergeant from outside quickly ran in and said, "General Long Xiang is here, everyone is in formation."
"Quickly, pick up the guy."
I saw Longxiang General Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu waiting in the center of the temple. They were very happy to see their troops in good order and with high fighting spirit.
Said: "Fellow officers, I think that our ancestors of the Jie tribe have been oppressed by the Han emperor for a long time and were traded as slaves. Fortunately, our ancestor Shi Le raised an army with eighteen cavalry, destroyed Liu Kun, defeated Wang Jun, and finally defeated Liu Han.
, he has just dominated the Central Plains. But the descendants of later generations are unfilial, and now the government is all controlled by that Han boy Shi Min. Can we, the Jie clan, agree?"
Everyone shouted: "No."
Sun Fudu was very happy, knowing that the military spirit could be used, and said: "Now I have learned that Shi Min and Li Nong want to go to Shijian and pass by Dongye Gate. The two towers here are high, which is convenient for ambushes and the city gate is guarded.
He has been bribed by me, so we should fight hard to kill Shi Min and Li Nong to restore the great cause of our Jie clan."
All the soldiers were whispering to each other, and they were all eager to try.
Only one old soldier said: "Last time, King Shi Bao of Leping was betrayed by Shi Jian for his righteousness. This time, I'm afraid Shi Jian will hinder him again."
A young sergeant next to him said angrily: "Old man, you are just greedy for life and afraid of death. Shi Jian is now alone, why should you care about him?"
Sun Fudu just waved his hands and said: "Young man, don't talk nonsense, this sergeant is right." After saying that, he walked to his side and said, "Your Majesty is no longer of much use, but I am also worried that he will interfere with it. We will do something later."
At that time, the garrison should be ordered to capture it in one fell swoop without letting it hold back."
The old soldier only clasped his fists and said: "The general is thinking about Zhou Xiang. In the end, the general is willing to follow the general through fire and water, and he will not hesitate to do so."
In the palace of Yecheng, Shi Jian now has no power. In order to protect himself, he can only commit suicide. Shi Bao died only a few days ago, and he began to indulge in lewdness every day, regardless of human relations, and took the late emperor's concubine as his own.
In the past few days, Shi Jian began to miss the Tongque Terrace and ordered Yang Huan to send those beauties to the Tongque Terrace Palace to enjoy them.
According to the advice of Taishi Ling: the 16th of this month is an auspicious day, and the crowning ceremony of the crown prince will be held by General Shi Min.
The next day was the sixteenth day, and Shi Jian had ordered Yang Huan to make all the preparations. The ceremony would start tomorrow, and everything was complicated. It was night, Shi Jian seized the moment of rest, and after bathing in the fragrant soup early in the morning, he and his concubine were about to go to the bed to enjoy this.
A moment of joy.
It was already half way through the night, and the concubine was sitting next to Shi Jian, obviously having a good time. At this time, Shi Jian suddenly pushed away the concubine who was hugging him, and stood up from the imperial couch.
The concubine only had sleepy eyes, "Your Majesty, it's still early, why don't you stay with me?"
"Shut up." Shi Jian was confused. Suddenly Shi Jian said, "Listen, what's the sound?"
The concubine muttered: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you."
After a while, the voices in the audience gradually began to become noisy. Shi Jian hurriedly ordered his servants to go down and take a look. He had already started to dress, and saw a palace servant running over in a panic, "No, the audience is already here."
Surrounded by sergeants."
"Yang Huan, where is Yang Huan?" Since the last incident, Shi Jian was particularly alert. In a blink of an eye, Yang Huan had arrived in the dormitory and grabbed His Majesty who was about to escape.
"Ta, Ta" At this time, Yang Huan led Sun Fudu, Liu Zhu and the Youzhou sergeants climbed up the stairs. Yang Huan walked forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lao Nute has come to ask your Majesty to do this 'safe thing'."
Shi Jian only murmured: "What is a foolproof thing?"
Sun Fudu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Min is now harboring evil intentions and has overwhelming power. All the talented men of the Jie clan are aggrieved. Tomorrow's great ceremony will be the time when Shi Min loses his life."
"After all, Shi Min has meritorious service. I can't bear to kill him so suddenly." Shi Jian was intimidated by Shi Min's power and dared not make up his mind. "Besides, let's talk... Now the defense of Ye City is under the control of Shi Min, Qing, etc.
Acting like this is like letting things slip."
Seeing that Shi Jian was still hesitating, Yang Huan added: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. Generals Sun and General Liu are maintaining the palace confinement. The palace gate in the city has been made of stone. Shi Qi and other sergeants Jiyou will arrange it.
Shi Min drove into the palace gate and captured him in one fell swoop."
Liu Zhu was the only one who stepped forward, only an arm's length away from His Majesty, and asked generously: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict, and Qing Jun will kill Shi Min."
The sergeants below also knelt down: "Your Majesty, please kill Shi Min."
Shi Jian only saw Liu Zhu holding his sword, and the sergeants on the steps were all in a panic. Now they were riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off, and there was no time to move. He only stood up slowly and said, "You are a meritorious minister, so I can serve as an official. I will obey."
Your Majesty, please don’t worry about the consequences.”
Liu Zhu turned around and shouted to the sergeants in the audience: "The generals are ordered to kill Shi Min."
"Kill Shi Min!"
At this time, the sky gradually turns white, and a round of dawn rays seems to emerge vigorously along the morning mist. The copper bird on the bronze bird platform is covered with copper, and the black bird is bathed in the morning glow and emits bursts of golden light.
"Come here, your Majesty, please change your clothes." Yang Huan shouted. Today is the Crown Prince's Canadian Clothes Ceremony. The format is not the same as in the past. Several palace officials are seen preparing His Majesty's robes and crowns, and respectfully invite the Emperor to change his clothes.
.
This is what Sun Fudu also said: "All officers and men take off their armor and change their clothes."
"Swish, swish, swish", there was a noise, and the soldiers all took off their black armor. Yang Huan ordered his people to take out the armor of the Dragon Guards in the palace that had been prepared and let them put on it.
Shi Jian glanced at it, turned to Yang Huan and said, "Manager Yang, it seems you have been planning for many days."
"But for the sake of the country of Zhao, the country will not hesitate to die."
On one side of Ye City, the General's Mansion has been extremely busy since learning about the grand ceremony for the canonization of the Crown Prince.
"It's getting late, General. Luan Jia has been waiting outside for a long time, and the envoy from the palace is urging me." Jiang Gan only entered the room to report to Shi Min.
"Mr. Jiang, look at it, does the imperial robe of the Crown Prince fit me well?"
Chief Jiang only said: "General, no, His Royal Highness the Prince's majestic martial arts is not comparable to that of the Emperor of the Jie clan."
Shi Min said with a smile: "Oh, please don't say this. The Zhao country can't do it without me, the Han people, and it can't do without the Jie people. The five barbarians can coexist without conflict."
"The prince is magnanimous and magnanimous, which I cannot match. Now Shi Jian has appointed the general as the prince, putting aside the forbearance of Hu and Han. It is really comparable to the virtues of the ancient Yu and Tang Dynasties, Yao and Shun."
"Yao and Shun, take a good look at it." Dong Run added, "If it weren't for the power of the begging army like us, how could this Shi Zhao Jiangshan be stable?"
The general's palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere. At this time, the servants outside the palace came into the house to report. The special envoys from the palace were urging His Royal Highness to go out early and not to miss the time.
Shi Min only touched his beard lightly and said with a smile: "Pass on the order, I will be here shortly. If it weren't for Shi Yun's sake, I would have galloped straight to the palace to see who dared to stop him."
Shi Min and the crowd were in joy. At this time, Shi Min noticed that there was one person in the crowd who had not said a word until now, especially silent.
"I said, Wang Tai, today is the day of my crown prince's promotion ceremony. Why are you frowning? When the time comes, the crown prince's central defender will lead you to be the first."
Everyone was making noises, and Wang Tai took advantage of the situation and said, "The prince's kind intention, I accept it, but I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Shi Min adjusted his crown prince crown and said, "But it doesn't matter."
"Today, the defense of Yecheng is all in the hands of my begging army, and there are many of my troops in the palace guard. However, there has been no sound since last night, and I am a little worried."
General Wang Yu said: "There is nothing to worry about when changing defenses normally."
Wang Tai retorted: "Shi Jian also summoned the general to the palace to discuss matters at that time. If not..."
Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "This time the two canons are held in parallel, it would be unreasonable for the general not to come in person."
Seeing this, Wang Tai hurriedly said: "It is true that the general will come in person, but I will think that this ceremony is grand, and the general must not bring too many followers. However, I will think that if Emperor Zhao intends to make trouble at the ceremony, it will be difficult for the general to resist.
"
Jiang Gan then added: "I heard the envoy say that this time Li Nong and Li Sikong were also summoned to go, and all the Han people were expected to be within the palace. The general drove his car into the palace from Dongye Gate, and the two gates of Dongye
The side corridor is long and narrow, and the palace walls on both sides are towering, making it a good place for an ambush. If you want to make one move..."
At this time, Shi Min ordered people to temporarily stop sorting the clothes and asked: "Wang Tai, what do you think should be done?"
Wang Tai said: "Select a hundred people from the army, put on the clothes of the entourage, carry daggers and daggers with you, enter the palace and hide arrows and halberds under the carriages and horses to avoid surprise. Prepare to blow the whistle, and we will lead the troops to guard outside the palace gate. The ceremony begins.
On this occasion, the city gates were guarded to prevent them from responding inside and outside."
Shi Min shouted: "Wang Yu, Wang Jian."
"The end will be here."
"You, please lead your own men and horses and drive slowly behind me. The rest of you will wait for me to leave the mansion and then go into each camp to stand by and be on standby. Do not leave lightly."
"The general will obey his orders."
"Wang Tai."
"The end will be here."
"From now on, everyone in the general's house will be at your disposal. If the ceremony has not been completed by the time, you can take advantage of the situation and don't have to worry about me. Everything will be safe after the ceremony is completed. If anyone tries to use this to commit rebellion,
It’s okay, don’t blame me for begging for the sharp blade of the Living Army.”
Wang Tai said: "Where is General Sun Wei?"
I saw a short and thin man behind the generals stepping forward and cupping his hands: "The last general is here."
Wang Tai said to Shi Min: "This man is not famous, but he is very brave. I would like to ask General Sun Wei to accompany him to protect him."
Shi Min only looked at Sun Wei up and down. He was indeed capable and brave, and nodded in agreement.
Wang Tai bowed to accept the order and said: "General, I obey, but I have one more question?"
"What's the matter?"
"If things change, what should your Majesty do?
"If you are of the same mind as this general, I will be safe." Shi Min only paused for a moment before saying decisively, "If you join forces with those who conspire against you, don't hesitate to kill them."
Everyone hesitated for a while, then Shi Min shouted: "Do you understand?"
"yes."
"Your Highness, the time has come. Come into the palace quickly." At this time, the messenger outside was already outside the door, greeting Shi Min respectfully.
Shi Min let out a long sigh and said: "It depends on your luck whether you have good or bad luck."
I saw a chariot parked in front of the palace. Under it was a red liner, decorated with flying dragonfly, green cover, and golden flowers. It was leaning against a tiger and a deer, but it was the chariot wheel of the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, please enter the carriage."
Shi Min walked forward slowly, stopped beside the car, and turned around slowly, only to see Wang Tai leading the residence guard standing in front of the door.
Wang Tai knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the Crown Prince."
Shi Min stopped for a moment, turned around and stepped into the carriage.
The messenger shouted: "The Crown Prince has entered the chariot and started driving."
The record accompanying the prince's motorcade: first the elephant car, one of the trumpets, and clearing the way forward. Then, according to the rank, the official rank follows, such as Yecheng Ling, Sili Xiaowei, various meritorious officials, subordinates, three gongs and nine ministers, chief bookkeeper, and Lang
The officials and other officials followed behind them in vehicles such as soap chariots and An chariots. Under them were the guards, school captains, etc., driving four horses and chariots. The halberds and others went their own way, with the halberds outside and the bows and arrows inside.
Advocates and others followed in turn. Hundreds of people from Shi Min were scattered among them, also wearing gorgeous costumes. At the end, the Yulin Guards came to press the formation and other grand events were unprecedented.
The road to the Grand Sima Gate of Ye Palace stretches for several miles, and the people of Ye City gather along the way.
At this time, Youji's sergeants have all been arranged in Ye Palace, Taiwu Hall, Dongye Gate, and in the lanes.
"Dong dong dong!" The drums at the Yecheng Palace Gate sounded loudly, and Shi Min's chariot had already arrived.
