The Jianwang Rebellion lasted for four years, and it was not until the fifth year that the situation finally changed.
In the past four years, the Northern Tatars invaded. King Jian conquered the capital and sat on the throne. The deposed emperor Qi Xi was imprisoned. Late one night, Qi Xi was strangled to death in the palace by several palace officials. King Jian gave Qi Xi a posthumous title.
"Lingdi" buried the Lingdi hastily next to Zhongzong's imperial mausoleum.
Half a year later, the Tatar Jinyue Khan had different intentions. He wanted to monopolize the Xuanfu and asked for the title of king. King Jian promised that Jinyue Khan would win Nuergan and make military exploits because half of the country in the Zhou Dynasty was still in the hands of King Wei.
A reward was inevitable, but Jin Yue Khan held his troops back, fearing that he would consume too much and end up like Li Xu.
In the same year, Jin Yue Khan was assassinated, and it was suspected that King Jian was behind the plot. It happened that a nobleman in the palace was pregnant, and the relationship between father and son became even more subtle.
King Jian's army was unable to capture the southeast, so he ordered people to go to Tartar to discuss countermeasures, hoping to join forces with Jinyue Khan to capture King Wei.
The Civil War broke out completely.
In this battle, King Jian's troops once had the upper hand. As Nuerqian and Dongnan fought to the death, the two sides fell into a bitter battle. King Wei planned to besiege Jinyue Khan. King Jian abandoned his chariot to protect his commander, and the two father and son completely
After the breakup, there were constant internal fighting among the Tatars. The khans of other tribes took the opportunity to rebel and wanted to annex Jinyue Khan's tribe. Jinyue Khan was eager to return aid and was beheaded by the King of Wei on the way to Tatar.
King Jian lost his Tatar helper and gradually fell into inferior position.
In the fifth year, King Wei finally took back the capital, and the remnants of King Jian fled to the northwest.
King Qi Xuan of Wei pursued King Jian all the way, and killed King Jian's remaining troops in Yinchuan in the sixth year. King Jian was nowhere to be found.
The King of Wei led his troops back to the capital, and the people lined the streets to greet him. Everyone had a happy smile on their face. From now on, the world should be at peace.
There were also many people who were curious about what the majestic King Wei looked like. They saw a handsome man galloping slowly towards this side astride a horse. He was tall and straight, with a majestic appearance and a dignified look. His eyes were deep, among which
There is an indescribable loneliness.
Unexpectedly, the feared King Wei was so young and handsome.
"This is the new king of Da Zhou."
Someone whispered.
"We are lucky enough to see it today...but we will not have this opportunity in the future."
It is not easy to be summoned by the emperor.
"When the imperial examinations are resumed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, we will definitely be on the list to serve the new king and the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
After witnessing this scene, some people couldn't help but make great aspirations here.
After passing through the noisy crowd, Song Chengxuan dismounted at the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion.
There were many royal family members outside the mansion to welcome him.
After Song Chengxuan captured the capital, he pursued King Jian all the way. Before he had time to deal with the subsequent matters, it was impossible to enter the palace, so the Qi clan had to gather here to obey King Wei's orders.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. It would be better for the King of Wei to ascend the throne as soon as possible. The Ministry of Rites has selected a few days and asked the King of Wei to take a look."
Listening to the words of the Qi clan members, Song Chengxuan raised his head and his hoarse voice echoed in the room: "Have you chosen a new king among the clan members?"
Ever since Nuergan's battle, King Wei's voice had become like this. The doctor also tried to treat it, but there was no improvement at all.
Everyone gradually got used to the voice and no longer cared about it, but the content of King Wei's words today made everyone's expressions change drastically.
King Ning was stunned for a while and came to his senses: "Of course it is King Wei who ascended the throne." After King Jian invaded the capital, many members of the clan were killed. King Ning had always been cautious and cautious, so he managed to survive.
Song Chengxuan shook his head calmly.
Upon seeing this, King Ning immediately knelt down and prayed with his clan members.
Song Chengxuan stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm not putting on a show for the world to see, and I'm not unqualified to be the emperor, so there's no need to go to great lengths to cover myself up.
My body has been damaged by many years of fighting. If I can survive for five years, I would like to ascend the throne."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. Everyone knew that King Wei had been injured in battles over the years, but after all, King Wei was young and might get better after a while of rest. No one wanted to think about life and death.
Song Chengxuan wrote lightly: "All I can do is assist the new emperor and eradicate all the Jian Wang's faction. Even if I die in the future, I will not bring turmoil to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After the chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vitality of the Great Zhou Dynasty was greatly damaged. I hope you can recommend talents to see if the Great Zhou Dynasty can continue in the future. If you hide your selfish interests and plan for yourself in this move, someone else will surely rule the world in the future."
After saying this, Song Chengxuan glanced at everyone: "Uncles and elders, go back and think about it carefully. We will discuss this matter another day, but... the sooner the better, I am afraid there will be news about King Jian in the next month or so.
Then I will lead the army again."
Song Chengxuan came out of the house, and Yong Ye had already prepared his horse. The two of them got on their horses and left the capital all the way under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The news was sent to Xue Chen.
After Song Chengxuan entered the capital, the court officials gathered together. There were many things in the Zhou Dynasty waiting for King Wei to deal with, but he did not expect that King Wei turned around and left.
Looking at the anxious people, Xue Chen shook his head: "The prince will definitely come back tomorrow. After fighting for so many years, you should give him a break and take a breath.
Everyone needs rest. You have used it as a sharp weapon over the years, but you don't know that even gold and iron are not indestructible."
Xue Chen's eyes turned slightly red, and after saying this, he turned around and left.
…
Song Chengxuan came all the way to the quiet courtyard.
Everyone knows that this was the place where Madam Yu was recuperating. Madam Yu’s identity is mysterious. Some say she is Mrs. Li Xu, while others say she is just a woman whom King Wei met outside. She once went on an expedition with King Wei. Unfortunately,
He died of illness on the road, and the king of Wei was so sad that he hurt his throat.
After Mrs. Yu left, the yard was still taken care of, all the furnishings were put away as they were, and the house where Mrs. Yu lived was kept spotless.
King Wei would come here every year and stand in Madam Yu's yard, staying quietly for a whole day. The strange thing is that King Wei never entered the house.
It was still the same this time. Song Chengxuan stepped into the courtyard and stood quietly in front of the house with his hands behind his hands.
Yongye sent everyone down and fought in a corner himself.
But this year is destined to be uneasy.
Just after half an hour of silence, the concierge came to announce: "Master Yu is here."
This Lord is the elder brother of Queen Chengxiao and the eldest son of Bachelor Yu, who will take over as Minister of Rites.
Song Chengxuan didn't want to disturb the tranquility of the courtyard, so he turned around and said, "Let Mr. Yu go to the study!"
Mr. Yu chased Song Chengxuan all the way. When he reached the study, he was still out of breath and his clothes were soaked with sweat. However, he didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Why does the King of Wei refuse to ascend the throne? I...
"
Song Chengxuan said: "Preparing for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and soon having to host the funeral ceremony, all this back and forth, I am worried about you."
Mr. Yu said stubbornly: "Don't worry about me. As long as Prince Wei leaves this matter to me, I will definitely handle it properly. You don't have to worry about spending too much money. This is already the case for the Great Zhou Dynasty. King Wei fights for the Great Zhou. These things don't count."
