Chapter 399: Xinli (I)

Listen to the palace in the early morning

White lanterns are hung all around, surrounded by plain white gauze, on both sides of the road, far away is the forbidden army, close is the guards on duty, one by one according to the knife standing, the nail is not moving, and there are two young generals patrolling, their eyes sweeping, looking around.

The prince walked step by step, restless, paced into the hall, listened to the ceremonial official's spirit of "pop, pop, pop" three silent whips, the prince woke up, looked at it attentively, only to see the hall to the bottom of the steps, the hundred officials have been extended to the instrument door, one, two and three products from near and far, are holding wat boards, wearing new official robes, standing silently.

The red-clothed eunuch stepped forward with the edict of succession in his hand.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The prince has a noble character, virtuous and generous, and he is deeply committed to the crown prince, and he succeeds to the throne. ”

"The ministers are under the order!" the hundred officials bowed down together, and the prince also said with a mournful voice: "The ministers accept the order." ”

Since the hundred officials and the prince were edicted, a eunuch immediately stepped forward and put on a dragon robe on the spot, but in fact, the inside was changed, but one was added.

He invited the prince to step up the royal steps, and the prince sat on the dragon throne, his heart was confused, and at this moment, the eunuch shouted: "The new monarch is on the throne, and hundreds of officials pay homage!"

The eunuch's voice was sharp, echoing in the hall, and Prime Minister Zhang Yunke immediately led hundreds of officials to bow three times and bow nine times, and said in unison: "The ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

The prince sat on the dragon chair, watching the civil and military officials kneeling and worshipping, and suddenly there was a tingling pain, and there was an indescribable blush on his face.

"Finally, it's still me who ascends the throne. In the prince's mind, this thought flashed: "From now on, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the first person in the world." ”

Just thinking about it, I saw that as the hundred officials bowed, Da Xu Yuan's somewhat discrete and suspended dragon qi suddenly converged on the prince's body, merging and condensing.

The prince was originally just a green qi, but suddenly it was full of purple qi.

"Huh" The prince unconsciously exhaled deeply, and a dragon groan sounded, and the real dragon hung down.

"Zhongqing is flat. The new emperor stretched out his hand to make a gentle gesture, and the civil and military officials got up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just ascended to the throne, and it is a matter of national importance, but at the moment, everything needs to be taken care of, and I have no clue for a while, so you don't have to be restrained, and you can tell you quickly. The new emperor glanced at him and said.

Prime Minister Zhang Yunke stepped out of the position, holding a wat board, and said: "Your Majesty, the current major event is first of all to set the temple name of the Daxing Emperor, and secondly, the emperor's year name should also be determined. ”

"There are still some things that are not too late to discuss after the funeral. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, the emperor of Daxing raised a three-foot sword to level the world, Yuyu eleven years, diligent and loving the people, working hard all night, a rare saint through the ages. The minister thinks that it is the best number, and the dragon's lair is the most important thing at this time. The Ministry of Rites stepped out and said.

The new emperor sat down, his face sad and contemplative, already a little dignified, and opened his mouth to say: "My father is the founding emperor of Daxu, and according to the usual Taizu, the specific is determined by the Ministry of Rites." ”

"As for my year name, I will follow my father's way and open the peace, so I will be called Qitai, but it will not win the yuan, and it will be opened on January 1 next year. ”

Generally speaking, the foreign surname seizes the world, which is to directly seize the yuan, that is, the year is the first year of the new number, and the inheritance of the inner surname is to wait for the second year to use the new number.

The emperor of this world adopts the one-life monistic system, and he can directly be called Emperor Qitai, or Qitai, in the future.

I only listened to Emperor Qitai's words: "The country has suddenly undergone great changes, and it is necessary to strictly prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to worship, so I should issue an edict to order all local officials to perform their duties safely, suppress the localities, and order all prefectures and counties to open warehouses for relief, for the benefit of the people, and the daily members of the cabinet must not be slack!"

"Obey!" the prime minister immediately responded.

Emperor Qitai sat up straight and moved, and said: "After this ceremony, the emperor will be buried, and the Qinglu must be erected, and I should fulfill the gift of filial piety, and you must also do the courtesy!"

"Yes!" According to the rules, the emperor will keep the spirit for 27 days, and the Qitai Emperor will ascend the throne, once the ceremony is completed, he will immediately give an order, and the entire palace will be covered with white flags, and all the yellow and red gauze palace lights will be removed.

The eunuch came with a filial piety suit and a filial piety hat, knelt on the ground and offered it, Emperor Qitai at this time two lines of tears down his cheeks, changed to wear, and whispered for a long time: "Father, I will protect the Daxu River, follow the prosperous world, and hope to bless in heaven." ”

After that, the emperor asked again: "Has the true monarch arrived?"

"Your Majesty, the true monarch has arrived, and he is waiting at the gate of the side hall. ”

When Emperor Qitai heard this, he walked silently and turned into the side hall, where there was already a screen of Jiangshan Sheji map, which was placed behind the dragon chair.

The paintings of farmers, scholars, merchants, soldiers, and officials all have their own affairs, and they seem to include the whole world.

"Pei Zhenjun has arrived. "Following the eunuch's voice, Pei Ziyun entered, only when he entered, he felt awe-inspiring, and then looked at the prince, he was already a new monarch, and he was no longer in the past.

"Aiqing is here. Emperor Qitai said.

"Long live Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty on his ascension to the Great Treasure and his destiny. Pei Ziyun saluted, Emperor Qitai listened, and smiled: "Although I have been crowned with great treasures, but the world is not yet peaceful, King Lu is in turmoil, and I am the new emperor. ”

"It's just that I want to keep filial piety, you are the full power appointed by the first emperor, that is, the actual Qincha, now you have any regulations, think about it, just tell me directly, I can promulgate it." ”

Pei Ziyun understood that on the 27th day of the Son of Heaven's filial piety, the imperial court officially entered the funeral procedure, but he couldn't do much, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty ordered someone to take the map, and I can tell Your Majesty now." ”

Pei Ziyun said, Emperor Qitai listened, and ordered: "Come here, take the map." ”

Immediately, a guard spread out the map, and Pei Ziyun stretched out his hand and scratched on the map: "Your Majesty, you have a few letters, and the ministers don't dare to lie, so they just say it." ”

"The first thing is strategy, now that King Lu has won three states, the impact has spread to half the world, which is really worrying. ”

Emperor Qitai looked at it and nodded.

"To deal with King Lu and the ministers, the first step is the Iron Curtain, which is to first besiege it, put everyone in place, and then find an opportunity to break it. ”

Your words are simple, but they are the right way and insightful. Emperor Qitai nodded: "But specifically, please tell me one by one." ”

The emperor and Pei Ziyun have spent so much time together, so they naturally understand that the more masters they are, the more they will say things simply, and if people can't understand them, they will be at the level of half-tones.

"The first emperor ordered me to control the six states, in fact, in terms of my identity, the power is too heavy. Pei Ziyun said calmly.

"I am a Taoist, even if there is a last order from the emperor, it is impossible for me to master the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the six states, or if I master it, it will make many courtiers centrifuge, which is not good for the emperor - the first major thing the emperor wants to do, I can't do it behind my back with the ministers. ”

This suggestion is reasonable, for the sake of Emperor Qitai, and even more for the sake of the community.

Emperor Qitai was still vigilant, and when he heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "Oh, do you have any suggestions?"

Pei Ziyun listened and smiled slightly: "As long as the emperor summons important ministers to mention it, there will be many people who oppose it and say that the power cannot be held by one person, let alone by a Taoist." ”

At this time, as long as someone proposes, saying that it is the last order of the emperor, it cannot be directly opposed, but it can be separated. ”

"In fact, it is to divide several roads, take civil officials as the messengers, do not allow field battles and defend themselves according to the city, and build an iron curtain, which is the same as when encircling and suppressing the Marquis of Jibei, but the only difference is that I am not in charge of power alone, and I am the heart of the courtiers in the world. ”

"Huh" Emperor Qitai listened and held his breath, and then sighed: "This is very good, but I am a little worried, at the beginning, Zhongqin Bo also made this plan, but it was broken, how can Qing break it." ”

Pei Ziyun listened and nodded: "Your Majesty, Uncle Zhong Qinbo didn't really do the Iron Curtain at all, but he showed a flaw, was led into the rhythm, and anxiously begged for battle, so he was broken." ”

Therefore, this Iron Curtain is definitely not a matter of the six states. ”

"If you want to solve King Lu quickly, you have to cut off his anger all at once, so you must mobilize half the world. ”

"Half the world?" muttered Emperor Qitai.

Seeing Pei Ziyun pointing: "Your Majesty must clearly order the governors of all states, in accordance with the policy of the Pingji Northern Marquis, to enrich the defense line on the front line, gather troops to defend, and lay a second line of defense, in case of panic once it breaks through." ”

"It's a state-wide mobilization, and it's not very food-intensive or labor-intensive. ”

"But for fear of tearing each other off, leaving a gap for the Lu army to break through, so the civilian officials are the Qin Mission, and the scope is two or three states for coordination. ”

In addition, the emperor can issue a decree to reinstate the general to collect people's hearts, and then select the available generals from them, and transfer them to various roads, with Qincha as the main general, and the general as the counselor, and gradually form a counteroffensive army from all directions. ”

"And the minister, as long as he is nominally the boss, he can actually control seventy or eighty thousand, and confront the main force of King Lu. ”

"As for the blockade of the battle line, connecting people's hearts, and making the enemy area abandon the darkness and turn to the light, these are all old techniques when Pingji was waiting in the north, and they can be used together. ”

"Especially when it is announced that His Majesty has ascended the throne, King Lu has stripped him of the king's title, and he is a traitor, which has the effect of righteousness. ”

Emperor Qitai looked at it and immediately understood Pei Ziyun's intention: "This is to form a defensive line on all sides of King Lu, and concentrate the army, so that King Lu will be exposed to the enemy on his back and cannot move?"

"Yes, the civil officials are the most important candidates, the more conservative the better, those radical merit seekers can't be used, and the generals, newly obtained the emperor's favor, and the grace to be reinstated, must be radical to seek war. ”

"The old general cannot be the main general, but he can be a counselor and a partial general. ”

"It's not enough to defend alone, the purpose of our defense is still to defend seven and attack three, and these three attacks are just for the generals who are eager to make contributions. ”

"Your Majesty can give them either 3,000 or 5,000 people, and allow them a certain degree of cheap strategy. ”

Emperor Qitai has the experience of pacifying the Marquis of Jibei, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly sighed, these small steps suddenly reconciled the entire battle situation, the balance between civil and military, and the use of generals, which was simply wonderful.

Don't go into other details, just saying that this general will receive three or five thousand, which has a deep meaning.

Employing people, controlling people, and even the contradictions between civil and military affairs have all been fused into a furnace, and there is no fireworks at all, Emperor Qitai has changed to the perspective of the emperor, and he can't help but be a little surprised, and he understands Taizu's worries, so he only listened to Pei Ziyun and said: "As for the details, they can not be summarized at this time, and they can only be adapted to local conditions when they arrive on the battlefield." ”

Emperor Qitai listened, nodded his head, and said: "What Qing said is very agreeable, you go back and cultivate in peace for a few days, and you will have a will in a few days." ”
