Chapter 722: 858: Great Wei, Reign Title Zhenghe
Yong'an seventh year, August 7th.
On the Zen platform outside Tianchuan City, Emperor Yong'an of the Song Dynasty meditated on King Wei at six o'clock in the morning. King Wei accepted Emperor Yong'an's abdication, inherited the will of heaven, inherited the great unification, established the country as Wei, and gave his father the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoyuan. The title is Zhenghe - The Chronicles of the Wei Dynasty.
Next to the meditation platform, there was a historian holding a pamphlet, which recorded in detail what happened at the meditation platform.
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and the splendid sunshine shone on Mingyang Mountain and on the meditation platform. Bathed in the sun, Taizu Taizu of the Wei Dynasty was shrouded in purple glow, like a god, and all the civil and military officials below bowed in worship.
From this moment on, the Song Dynasty has become a thing of the past.
At the moment when he took the Zen position, Chu Yi was still entangled and uncomfortable for a while, but now that the change of dynasty has become a foregone conclusion, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that a thousand pounds of burden had been lifted from his body, and he was with These ministers shouted "long live our emperor" together.
A quarter of an hour before Chen Mo accepted the Zen throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a fleet of fast horses set off from Mingyang Mountain and drove into Tianchuan City. The moment they entered the city, the soldiers riding on the fast horses immediately used all their strength to After ringing the gong in his hand, when all the people on both sides of the street looked over, the soldier on horseback shouted loudly:
"Today at 11 o'clock in the morning, Your Majesty will be at the Mingyang Mountain to worship the King of Wei. The King of Wei has officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor. From now on, the name of the country will be changed to the Great Wei. From now on, you will be my subjects of the Great Wei."
Soldiers on fast horses galloped through the streets and headed towards the palace.
When the people on the road heard this, they were in an uproar.
Prostitutes and customers from taverns, teahouses, and even brothels also came to the street, listening to the loud and clear voice that gradually faded away. After being stunned for a while, a series of whispers could be heard in the streets and alleys.
They were talking about two topics.
The Song Dynasty is gone.
King Wei proclaimed himself emperor.
When the soldiers reported what happened on Mingyang Mountain to the palace, the guards guarding the palace immediately blocked the palace and prohibited entry and exit.
At the same time, outside the palace of Prince Wei, sedans were parked outside. Soldiers from the military camp wearing bright light armor and carrying compound bows were riding on war horses and stopped on both sides of the road.
Sun Meng got off his horse, came to the gate, and said loudly to the palace: "According to His Majesty's instructions, we will take the ladies into the palace."
A woman dressed brightly and dignifiedly, accompanied by her personal maids, walked out of Prince Wei's palace and got on the sedan chair.
Sun Meng counted silently in his heart, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he said loudly: "Get up the sedan."
The personal guards escorted Chen Mo's wives, concubines, and children towards the palace.
If Wu Mi and the others want to move in, there will naturally be people in the palace who want to move out.
The bedroom where Wu Xian is.
As soon as Wu Xian came out, the maids and eunuchs outside rushed in and began to clean and renew the palace.
Wu Xian looked back at the palace where she had lived for several months. She watched the palace maids clearing away all the things on the bed and replacing them with new ones. Her eyes couldn't help but wander. In these short few months, it seemed like Like a dream.
"Madam, Meng Hegong is waiting for Madam at the dock in the east of the city." A soldier came to Wu Xian and said respectfully.
Chu Yi abdicated.
Naturally, Wu Xian is no longer a noble concubine.
Wu Xian glanced at the palace reluctantly, then turned around, straightened her back, and said in a cold voice: "Lead the way."
"Ma'am, please."
Regarding Emperor Yong'an's abdication today, the palace had already heard the news and made preparations, so the harem did not seem rushed or busy today.
The concubines of Emperor Yong'an, as well as the concubines of the Supreme Emperor, moved out of the harem in an orderly manner, leaving the palace where they had lived for several years, more than ten years, or even most of their lives.
And they, including the Supreme Emperor Chu Nan, naturally followed Meng He Gong Chu Yi to his fiefdom of Meng He County.
The queen's bedroom.
Zhao Yushu was not notified, which meant that Meng Hegong did not intend to take her with him.
But Zhao Yushu didn't know that. She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that after Chen Mo ascended the throne and Chu Yi was no longer the emperor, she could reunite with Chu Yi and return to the good old days when they respected each other as guests.
Therefore, Zhao Yushu had packed his things since last night.
There was nothing to pack, just a few changes of clothes and some jewelry. It was so shabby that it didn’t look like someone who had been a queen.
She was waiting in the palace, waiting for Chu Yi to pick her up.
She also heard the noise outside.
I am also looking forward to it more and more in my heart.
But when Wu Mi brought Chen Jia over, she never saw Chu Yi.
"Empress." Outside the queen's palace, several palace maids and eunuchs serving Zhao Yushu bowed to Wu Mi at the signal of the female officer who accompanied Wu Mi here.
Although Wu Mi is the royal concubine of King Wei, she has not yet been crowned queen, so she can only be called empress first.
After the official canonization, Wu Mi will be the queen.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is certain that Wu Mi will become the first queen of the Wei Dynasty.
The female official immediately questioned the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving Zhao Yushu, saying why they hadn't cleaned up the palace yet and had lost their temper.
This frightened them so much that they shuddered. As the so-called three things for a new official to take office, they also knew that from now on, Wu Mi would be the new owner of the harem. They did not dare to offend, so they hurriedly walked into the queen's palace, trying to force her to take over. Zhao Yushu rushed out.
When Wu Mi learned that the former queen was still inside, he immediately said: "Wait a minute."
The palace maids and eunuchs stopped immediately, bent over and stood aside, waiting for orders.
Wu Mi took Chen Jia's hand and walked in slowly.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Yushu looked up at the beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress who walked in with a child. She was slightly startled and then frowned.
Between beauties, there will be a secret comparison in the heart.
Zhao Yushu stared at the beautiful woman with delicate jade face and rosy complexion under the beautiful cloud bun, and inexplicably felt inferior to her.
She bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have seen the Queen."
She also heard the conversation outside just now, and could guess that this beauty was the Princess of Wei, the current Queen.
Although she has not been canonized yet, Zhao Yushu has already called her first.
"No need to be polite." Wu Mi accepted it calmly, and stared at Zhao Yushu, then glanced around and smiled lightly, "You are the queen of the previous dynasty, you are of noble status, and you are older than me. I should call you sister, no need to be so polite.
If sister likes it here and is reluctant to leave, then continue to live here."
"I don't deserve it. How can a minister be worthy of the Queen's sister."
Zhao Yushu bowed again and said, "The Queen is joking. I will leave now."
As she said that, she picked up the packed luggage and walked out of the palace.
"I will see you off, sister." Wu Mi said, and gestured to the maid beside her.
The maid stepped forward and helped Zhao Yushu carry the luggage.
Wu Mi escorted Zhao Yusu out of the harem and stopped: "The road ahead is long, sister, take your time, I won't see you off."
Zhao Yusu nodded, looked at the red palace wall, and a trace of reluctance and sadness appeared on her face. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, then turned around and left without looking back.
Just now from Wu Mi's mouth, she also knew where to find Chu Yi.
…
At the canal wharf at the east end of the city, Geng Songfu replaced Chen Mo to see Chu Yi for the last time.
Chu Yi had already changed his imperial robe and crown, and was wearing a plain robe. Wu Xian stood beside him.
Chu Yi, who had put down his burden, was much lighter at this moment. He put his hands behind his back and saw Geng Songfu coming over, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Greetings to Lord Menghe." Geng Songfu bowed to Chu Yi.
"Geng Songfu, what are you doing here?" Chu Yi had let go of the throne, and he was much more open-minded. He was also much bolder, and he even called Geng Songfu's name directly.
"The Emperor of Wei, thinking of the relationship between cousins, specially ordered me to come and perform for Lord Menghe and his wife." Geng Songfu clapped his hands, and the people accompanying him brought a jar of wine and two wine bowls. Geng Songfu personally poured wine into the two wine bowls and handed one of them to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi's face was stern.
Wu Xian's expression changed slightly, and she said, "My husband has done what you said. Is he still not satisfied? He wants to kill them all?"
Wu Xian thought there was something wrong with the wine.
"Madam, don't worry. The Emperor of Wei is a great emperor, and he is upright. Since he promised to let Lord Menghe leave, he will naturally not do such a mean thing. His Majesty ordered me to come here just to perform for Lord Menghe." Geng Songfu said.
Wu Xian still didn't believe it.
But Chu Yi took the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"Husband." Wu Xian looked flustered.
"It's okay, I believe in the Emperor of Wei." Chu Yi smiled.
After the practice, Chu Yi's people were almost all there.
Geng Songfu finally conveyed Chen Mo's instructions.
"As long as Lord Menghe never returns to the capital, he can be rich and noble for life."
Before Chu Yi spoke, Wu Xian couldn't help but said, "Do you, Geng Songfu, believe this nonsense?"
"Yes." Geng Songfu said firmly, "The Emperor of Wei is a benevolent saint. Please rest assured, Lord Menghe, I can guarantee my life."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at the towering palace in the distance, and said, "See you later."
"Please, Lord Menghe." Geng Songfu bowed.
Chu Yi retracted his gaze, turned around and walked towards the building ship, and Wu Xian hurriedly came forward to support him.
Geng Songfu stared at Chu Yi's departing back, silent.
Just when the building ship came in and tied the rope and was about to leave.
"Wait."
A clear female voice sounded from the end of the street behind Geng Songfu. Zhao Yusu, wearing a palace skirt, carried her luggage on her back and held up her wide skirt with one hand, trotting towards the dock.
Chu Yi, who was about to approach the cabin, paused slightly and trembled.
Wu Xian clearly felt Chu Yi's touch, and her heart ached while she said, "Husband, I understand everything. I don't mind. Since you have abdicated, you don't have to do this anymore. Take my sister on board."
Wu Xian thought the same as Zhao Yusu, thinking that Chu Yi ignored Zhao Yusu because of her.
However, the real result was not.
Chu Yi didn't dare to believe whether what Wu Xian said was true. After all, Zhao Yusu had betrayed her. Would Wu Xian, a girl from the Wu family, be loyal to him? He said, "The love between her and me is over, and I have divorced her. From now on, she and I are just strangers."
Chu Yi said to the servants beside him, "Let's start the boat."
"Yes."
"Wait."
"No."
Seeing that the boat had left the dock, Zhao Yusu's eyes were red and her heart was broken. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, lifted her skirt and ran faster.
However, she was still too late.
When she arrived, the boat had already sailed far away. Zhao Yusu looked at the boat going farther and farther away, and there was no sign of stopping to wait for her. She collapsed and sat on the ground.
Big tears fell one drop after another on the ground paved with bluestones. His face was full of sadness, and his mind was even more dejected.
The last glimmer of hope is gone.
In the end, it was all just her fantasy.
Chu Yi really doesn't want her anymore.
"Why, why are you doing this to me, why?" Zhao Yushu cried loudly, crying, and became hysterical at the building ship that disappeared at the end of the field of vision. She didn't know what she had done wrong to let Chu Yi do this to her. So annoying.
Geng Songfu watched from the side and asked him to handle political affairs. He was very good at it.
But faced with this matter, he was helpless.
Moreover, he was also confused about Chu Yi and Zhao Yushu.
Zhao Yushu looked at the sparkling water, his eyes became hollow and lifeless, and he once again had the will to die in his heart.
She stood up and jumped directly into the river under Geng Songfu's surprised gaze.
After being stunned for a short time, Geng Songfu exclaimed: "Why are you standing still? Save people quickly, save people quickly."
Zhao Yushu was rescued in time. He just passed out and was otherwise unharmed.
Geng Songfu turned around and came to the end of the street on the left. At the corner, there was a luxurious carriage parked, surrounded by well-equipped soldiers with serious faces.
He knocked on the carriage, and soon the curtain of the carriage window was lifted.
"Your Majesty, Duke Meng He has left." Geng Songfu said respectfully.
"knew."
Since Chen Mo asked Geng Songfu to implement it, he was not too far away from the dock and was watching.
Then Geng Songfu talked about Zhao Yushu again.
Chen Mo frowned and murmured to himself: "It seems that they are not acting in front of me, they are really separated."
Geng Songfu heard Chen Mo's whisper and asked again: "Your Majesty, what should I do with her?"
"Bring her into the palace first." Chen Mo paused, and with Geng Songfu's eyes twinkling, he said, "Then let her parents take her away."
"promise."
Geng Songfu was still confused at first, but now, even he suspected that Zhao Yushu's matter was Chen Mo's trick.
However, this kind of thing is nothing to make a fuss about. When Song Taizu first proclaimed himself emperor, he also admitted some concubines from the previous dynasty into his harem.
Compared with the great achievements made by Song Taizu, such personal matters are not worth mentioning.
The same goes for Chen Mo now.
"Your Majesty, according to past traditions, whether there is a change of dynasty or the succession of a new king, the whole country must be amnesty. When should the Wei Dynasty issue an edict of general amnesty for the whole country?"
