Chapter 181: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Li Jiazhi looked at Situ Ningbing with his mouth open, and was hesitating to ask, "Sister-in-law, are you not sick?!"
Li Jiayi had already understood Situ Ningbing's words, and said with some praise and some worry: "A good plan is a good plan, but I'm afraid that Yang Yi may not be willing to cooperate." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Situ Ningbing smiled noncommittally, "He has too many weaknesses, just grab one and make him obedient." ”
Li Jiayi has always believed in her strength, and when she saw that she looked confident, she didn't say much, but said: "Since you have a plan, I won't interfere, but I still have to remind you that once the King of Qi ascends the throne, the first thing he will do must be to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation, whether it is the King of Wei or Cui Jue or Dugu Xiu, they are not the opponents of the King of Qi, and it is not difficult to clean them up." ”
Situ Ningbing nodded, "I know, if Yang Yan wins the throne, he will be the rightful king of a country, and then he will have the power to order my father, and an edict can order my father to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of King Wei and Cui Qi together are only 50,000." Not to mention that once he ascends the throne, Duguxiu and his party will become traitors if they hold Luoyang hostage Zigong again, there is no need to wait for Yang Yan to send troops to fight, and the officials in Luoyang will also take them down and escort them to Chang'an for their own lives, and Duguxiu will be a waste chess piece at that time!"
In just a moment, Li Jiayi understood what Situ Ningbing wanted to do, and immediately said: "So, we have to make the situation even more chaotic before he ascends the throne, so that he can't clean it up for a while!"
When Situ Ningbing heard this, a pair of eyes like a deep pool were filled with the same appreciation, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, which suddenly made Li Jiazhi, who was still dissatisfied with himself being left aside, feel an unprecedented sense of redundancy, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Changan.
Yang Yan never thought that Yang Yi actually had this courage, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military attitude, he resolutely showed that he was not capable enough to inherit the unification, the King of Qi was outstanding in virtue and talent, and he should ascend the throne as soon as possible at this time when the country was in turmoil, so as to consolidate the hearts of the people in the world!
At this moment, not only the county king party was dumbfounded, but the Manchu civil and military forces and even Yang Yan were dumbfounded. If the officials of the county king's party had not been scruples in the court, they would have been eager to touch Yang Yi's forehead to see if he had a fever! To put it mildly, if it hadn't been for such a good opportunity for His Majesty to suddenly die in Luoyang, it would have been more difficult for him, a deposed prince, to ascend to the throne through normal channels than to ascend to the sky! What is even more rare is that Duguxiu's gang is obviously against the king of Qi, and when will they not hurry up to grab the throne while they are fighting each other?! The reason why they followed the prince of the county, who seemed to have no future, didn't he just take a fancy to this opportunity? I wanted to make a meritorious contribution to the establishment! I gambled my net worth and my life, and I didn't calculate it until the critical moment, but my master suddenly stood up and said, "I don't want to be the emperor, you let the king of Qi be the king." One sentence made all their efforts come to naught, and even lost their lives!
If the officials of the county king party showed anger, then most of the officials who supported Yang Yan felt stunned by the pie falling from the sky, and the officials who had already prepared for a bloody coup d'état looked at each other at this time, eager to slap themselves to see if they were dreaming! The county king is no longer fighting! Their master is about to become the emperor!
At this time, among the civil and military officials of the Taiji Palace, the most sober-minded ones are probably only the ministers of the neutral faction. Most of them are nominally neutral, but they just abide by their duties as courtiers and do not want to get too close to the princes. In fact, I had already decided in my heart that Yang Yi was definitely not Yang Yan's opponent, and no one took Yang Yi seriously. Sometimes looking at the county king's party making a fuss, just to watch the drama for fun, until today Yang Yi took the initiative to resign from the throne, these people are impressed by this Changshan county king, this is a rare person who understands!
Yang Yan looked at Yang Yi with a humble and sincere face in front of him, and his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, knowing that he should make a joke at this time, but he has been arrogant since he was a child, not to mention that the object is Yang Yi, who he has always looked down on, and he has never torn his face with Yang Yi before, and he is hypocritical and pretending to be a cat and mouse, but since he has torn his face, he will do a play with him in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, which everyone knows is a play......
Yang Yan felt that he was similar to a monkey led by an artist on the street, and he really made him nauseous! So, after Yang Yi's performance, in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people watching the play, Yang Yan uncharacteristically did not give in like many princes with similar experiences in history, and finally ascended the throne helplessly under the persuasion of everyone, but looked at Yang Yi coldly without a trace of gratitude and said: " Since it is the emperor's brother's intentions, I will not shirk it, now there is a Dugu clan who coerced his father's Huangzi Palace to occupy Luoyang with the intention of causing chaos, and then there are Yang Ye, Cui Qi and other chaotic parties in Jian'an Xingyang to recruit troops and horses to incite the people to rebel, when this crisis is you and I are hypocritical, the society is in danger!"
probably didn't expect King Qi to react like this, in the face of the brother who resigned from the throne, he didn't even bother to do the drama, and his cheekiness was not comparable to ordinary people. After the civil and military officials were stunned for a while, Zhou Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry who was still Yang Yan and his group, was the first to react, and immediately took the lead in calling long live, and asked Yang Yan to ascend to Dabao as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the subjects of the world. In a moment, the sound of long live in the Taiji Palace Mountain came and went, and the royal forest soldiers guarding outside the hall all quietly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the throne was empty for a day, and they were in danger of bleeding or even losing their lives at any time! Now that the King of Qi has ascended the throne, they can rest assured that they know who their master is.
The wishes of the little brothers of the Royal Guards are beautiful, but unfortunately the reality is never as good as it should be. Just when the civil and military officials of Chang'an were actively or passively preparing for Yang Yan's enthronement ceremony, Yang Ye, who had already established himself as the king of Chen, recruited 20,000 remnants of the Chen State in just five days after occupying Jian'an, and successively captured the four counties of Sui'an, Linchuan, Poyang, and Yongjia around Jian'an. And the reason why Yang Ye was able to conquer so many counties in such a short period of time, in addition to his own strength should not be underestimated, more importantly, he was under the banner of recovering Chen, the destruction of Chen State was only more than 20 years, in order to appease the people, Emperor Shizongwen conquered and destroyed Chen State, and most of the appointed ministers were Chen Guo's relics to govern the old land of Chen State, and to this day there are still many local officials who are descendants of Chen State's noble eunuchs!
