Chapter 243: City Break (7)
Empress Zhuang was taken away by such a strong means, and several Wenchen generals who opposed Fang Qi were also subdued by force, and the rest were either Fang Qi's original people, or after this series of incidents, they were frightened and silent.
Fang Qi proposed that his son Fang Xin should ascend the throne as emperor on the grounds that he had already handled the government affairs on behalf of Xuanyuan Yu and reviewed the chapters for a long time.
The ministers were shocked by the matter of the talents, and the Shengxing Dynasty had no prince, and the two princes had also passed away, although there was a princess, but the woman was in power in their time and space unheard of, so no one considered the princess at all.
Because of this, the ministers who remained in the main hall were all silent, as if they had acquiesced in Fang Qi's decision. Although some people in the Ministry of Rites thought it was inappropriate, no one dared to refute Fang Qi, causing Fang Qi to be the only one, so he promulgated a number of matters, and decided that his son Fang Xin would ascend the throne as emperor two days later.
If he could, he wanted Fang Xin to ascend the throne immediately, but as soon as he knew the astrological calendar, although it was not the best day of the month in two days, it was still acceptable, and it was already a good day recently, even if he was anxious, he didn't feel like joking with his fortune. Second, the Ministry of Rites also needs some time to prepare, and the enthronement ceremony can't be hasty, although two days are daring, but it's better than not preparing anything.
The throne of the Shengxing Dynasty was taken over by Fang Qimou in this way, but he ignored the military generals who could shock these civil ministers and military generals in the palace, just because of the Fuhu Order in his hand, he could dispatch the emperor's personal soldiers, as well as those secret guards who were bought by him.
He can control these people, but he can't control the army outside. Outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, not to mention that there is no monarch now, even if Fang Xin ascends the throne, those generals who have worked hard for the Shengxing Dynasty and have always obeyed the Xuanyuan lineage will not be willing to work for the Fang family.
The first thing Yuan Tai'an, who left the court in anger, did after leaving the court was to spread the news of the change of ownership of the Shengxing Dynasty, and let the generals who were guarding She County and fighting against the Jing Army decide for themselves whether to die for the Fang family.
The news was transmitted quickly, and Yuan Tai'an sent the secret letter to She County in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and in less than half a day, the generals of the two armies received the secret letter.
The generals of the southeast and southwest armies were originally stationed on the border of Ningguo, but Ningguo existed in name only three years ago, but Xuanyuan Yu did not withdraw them, nor did he take back his military power to integrate them into other armies, for this reason, they were very grateful to Xuanyuan Yu, after all, the emperor was tantamount to raising them for three years.
Therefore, after reading the secret letter, the two immediately decided to surrender to the Jing army. For them, the Shengxing Dynasty fell into the hands of Fang Qi, and they were no longer the object of their allegiance, and it was better to surrender than to die in battle.
Originally, with the strength of their two armies, they were not sure that they could block the Jing army, or they could only block its vanguard army, and when the Jing army came back, they were powerless to resist at all.
Although the Jing army traveled a long distance and experienced several months of battle, it should have been exhausted, but under the leadership of Wei Chimu, they united as one, and there were many victories and few defeats along the way, which was the best incentive for the army.
Therefore, as soon as the Jing army attacked Shexian, it could confront the southeast and southwest armies of the Shengxing Dynasty, and only waited for the backup to come, presumably it could break through Shexian and reach the capital of the Shengxing Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, I thought that I would still have to stalemate for a few days, but because of a secret letter from Yuan Tai'an, the war ended ahead of schedule.
The Shengxing Dynasty surrendered.
The Jing army effortlessly occupied Shexian.
