Chapter 236 False Daoist "Anyang"

Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the dilapidated city of Wuyang; the Confucius family in Nanyang has the least ambition to occupy Wuyang city, nor does it have the desire to ascend the throne right now—the timing is not right. Therefore, Kong Yingcai and Cai completely let their subordinates do what they did; to be exact, they simply let their subordinates rob.

However, having learned from Anyang’s experience in looting Cai Guo’s Huaihua County, Kong Yingcai also followed the example—people’s things cannot be robbed, and they can’t rob much, and they offend others; if they want to rob, they rob officials. When necessary, you can even throw out a little bit of corners appropriately to win over the common people to share the loot.

The Nanyang soldiers who carried the prestige of victory were even more tyrannical than the bandits. As long as they belonged to the government, or were not clearly marked, or even wealthy businessmen, they were all within the scope of looting. As for the people in Wuyang City, they did not give up completely, but coerced them away through persuasion, coercion and temptation—we do not rob the people of their wealth, but we rob people.

After such a war, the people of Wuyang City were already frightened. When they heard that Nanyang County was willing to accept them, of course they left quickly.

Nanyang County did this, and the rest followed suit; but on the core issue, that is, who should become the throne, everyone is still confronting each other.

Of course the second prince and prince don't want to give up; but the eldest prince is not completely unqualified!

Although the eldest prince had done wrong things before, he also showed the means of an emperor—an emperor cannot be kind! In contrast, the second prince looked a little weak and bully.

So who will be the emperor? Now the initiative is in the hands of Kong Yingcai of Nanyang County and Gao Bin of Songzhou County; everyone is looking at these two people. These two people are weights.

Kong Yingcai thought for a while, then winked at Gao Bin.

Gao Bin is not an idiot either, he looked around and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to think about it."

Kong Yingcai and Gao Bin faced each other, and Kong Yingcai, who was a generation younger, spoke first: "Hello, Uncle Gao, my nephew thinks that the eldest prince is too powerful, and Baofeng County has a strong foundation and has 500,000 elite soldiers. It cannot continue to be strong, otherwise After swallowing Wuyang County, the eldest prince will easily form a state of sweeping."

Gao Bin is not an idiot either, he said without blinking: "Isn't it good to form a sweeping state? Reunify the Great Xia Kingdom before the surrounding countries react."

The corner of Kong Yingcai's mouth twisted, and he scolded the old fox in his heart, but he said: "My Kong family can support Songzhou to control Wuyang County, and form a brotherly alliance with Songzhou County to jointly capture Guangling County in the west, Anyang County in the east, Dongwon County and others."

Gao Bin laughed when he heard the condition, "I also think the crown prince should be supported, after all, this is royal orthodoxy.

Moreover, if you want to establish an emperor, you must establish a weak point.

But the crown prince is too weak, and there is Anyang in the middle, so I am afraid he cannot control Wuyang County. "

Kong Yingcai yelled at the "greedy old fox" in his heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "So this Wuyang County still needs Uncle Gao's help. This is the work of Conglong."

Gao Bin nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, the crown prince really needs my help if he wants to secure his seat in the palace."

After the two discussed some details, they walked back to the front of the team. Gao Bin spoke first, righteously: "I, Gao Bin, Governor of Songzhou County, have decided to obey the late emperor's last wish and support the crown prince on the throne."

After finishing speaking, Gao Bin turned to the prince and bowed slightly: "Long live Your Majesty."

The second prince and the prince suddenly laughed. The eldest prince's face was gloomy! But under the gloomy face of the eldest prince, there was a hint of sarcasm.

Under the complicated eyes of everyone, Kong Yingcai also walked up to the prince and bowed slightly: "Long live Your Majesty!"

The First Prince's complexion was completely dark, and the sarcasm dissipated, only anger. At this moment, there are already countless eyes staring at the First Prince, the meaning is obvious: Hurry up, go up and shout Long Live Your Majesty.

The eldest prince's fingers creaked, and he seemed to be able to hear countless mocking voices around him; Ge Zhengfeng's prophecy echoed in the eldest prince's heart: he was destined to be a prince, but not destined to be an emperor!

After enduring and enduring, the eldest prince suddenly turned around, "It's fine if you want me to admit it, as long as you can reunify the Great Xia Kingdom, I will recognize you as the emperor.

snort! "

The eldest prince turned around and left, full of anger and shame; if possible, he really wanted to kill everyone here!

"Your Highness, please wait a moment!" Yuan Zhao hurriedly opened his mouth and trotted after him.

The eldest prince's face was livid: "What else is there!"

Yuan Zhao looked serious: "Your Highness, according to the usual practice, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the remaining princes must be named kings. Please wait a few days, Your Highness, to complete the enthronement ceremony."

Hearing this, the Eldest Prince's face turned even darker, his eyes shot up with anger, "Yuan Zhao, believe it or not, Gu killed you!"

Yuan Zhaoli said bluntly: "Your Highness, this is the law of the country. When the new emperor ascends the throne, all princes must be crowned kings."

The eldest prince was really confused by Yuan Zhao's anger, and suddenly flew into a rage, gritting his teeth word by word: "I... no, need, need!"

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he turned around and left. But the army led by the First Prince did not withdraw, but stationed in the northwest of Wuyang City, the meaning is self-evident - I will not give up.

After the eldest prince turned and left, Yuan Zhao immediately took the lead in organizing the enthronement ceremony. Just as Xu Ren expected, the second prince and crown prince Xia Shu held a simple but rigorous enthronement ceremony in the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom. It's just that the enthronement ceremony is really shabby, there are no civil and military officials, no people's celebrations, no strict sacrifices to ancestors, and sacrifices to heaven, everything has just gone through a formality.

The enthronement ceremony, which was expected to be busy for more than a month, ended in half a day; there was no way, I really couldn't wait, and I didn't have that leisure time to waste. Naturally, such an enthronement ceremony was not complete at all, and the crown prince and the new emperor did not hear the "Tian Yu".

Even because he ascended the throne too hastily, he didn't even have a year number. As for the matter of conferring the First Prince and the Third Prince as kings, let's put it down for now.

But fortunately with this form, the crown prince also formally proclaims himself emperor, which is much more convenient in name. And what Yuan Zhao wanted was this name.

The tense and simple ascension to the throne was over, and Yuan Zhao also earned the title of grand master. The prince... It should be said that the emperor was sitting on the throne, and he didn't know what to do for a while; he finally looked at Yuan Zhao, "Aiqing, what do you think I should do next? Hey... the kingdom of Great Xia is falling apart, and the country will not be destroyed. The country and the people are in dire straits, my heart aches, my heart aches!"

Yuan Zhao almost vomited, can you stop being fake like this, you are just an emperor in name only, a fake emperor, no one cares about you at all. In fact, the Great Xia Kingdom has long since disappeared. After the death of the first emperor, the Great Xia Kingdom no longer existed. To be buried with a country, the former emperor did not leave a little life for the Great Xia Kingdom, so even the emperor did not identify him!

After taking a few deep breaths, Yuan Zhaocai endured the nausea: "Your Majesty, I believe that Wuyang City is already dilapidated, there is no danger to defend, and it is in the place of the Fourth World War. Therefore, Wuyang City should be abandoned and the capital should be moved to Luliang County and Nanliang Mansion. .

First go back to Nanliang Mansion to develop steadily and consolidate the foundation, and then slowly plan it. "

The new emperor Xia Shu sighed for a long time hypocritically, and finally accepted Yuan Zhao's opinion. Not to mention that Wuyang City is far away from Luliang County, there is Anyang in the middle, and it is in the place of the Fourth World War. It is really not suitable to stick to it now. But before leaving, the new emperor issued three imperial decrees under Yuan Zhao's suggestion:

The first way is to give the eldest prince Xia Xu the title of "King Wu", who will guard the northwest of Daxia Kingdom, including Baofeng County and Xin'an County.

The second way is to give the third prince Xia Guang and the previous false emperor the title of "King Wen" to guard the southwest of Daxia Kingdom, including Guangling County and Nanyang County.

The third way is for Xia Qingqing to make Xia Qingqing the eldest princess.

The first and third imperial edicts are nothing, quite satisfactory; but the second imperial edict is very insidious. That Nanyang County itself is not the sphere of influence of the Third Prince, it belongs to the Kong family; now, with the imperial decree, the false emperor, the Third Prince, and the Wang family will have an excuse to attack Nanyang County.

This is to muddy the waters.

After the three edicts left, the new emperor issued two more oral orders: to let Gao Bin, the governor of Songzhou County, take over the southern defense of Wuyang County, and let the former Lang Zhongling, Taiwei, and Fu Minghui who was stationed in the imperial mausoleum be in charge of the northern defense of Wuyang County.

The water is getting murkier. Gao Bin controlled the southern part of Wuyang County in name and aboveboard, so naturally he was not polite, and immediately sent soldiers to attack the city and pull out the village. But Fu Minghui didn't pay attention to this false imperial decree, and still stationed in the imperial mausoleum, not preparing to participate in the civil war.

After the new emperor gave the order, he had to "return to the court" early the next morning and return to Luliang County.

After the mighty team left the imperial capital, the new emperor had an idea, "Aiqing (Yuan Zhao), do you think we can take Anyang along the way? Even if we can't take the whole of Anyang, we can take half of it!"

When he said this, the new emperor's eyes flashed with endless anger; after enduring Anyang for so long, he finally found a chance to take revenge. Li Xian, after I catch you, I will definitely humiliate you!
