Chapter 124: The Choice of Staying and Going
A few days later, Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, issued a proclamation to the world: "Indecent and immoral, false fate, self-care and palpitation, how can you be restrained!" He should be temporarily returned to the imperial court, mourn the mausoleum, and write with Xianyan. Look at the heart, don't quit the fee. ”
The governor of Jingzhou Prefecture, Shi, and other auxiliary officials were all called ministers, and asked to follow the example of the national capital Miyagi and change the names of each gate, but Liu Yilong did not allow it.
Originally, Yilong planned to take Baiguan and Qiyun and immediately set off to Jiankang along the east of the river, but he didn't expect the sudden message to catch everyone off guard. Yilong sent people to inquire about the news and reported that Liu Yifu, the king of Yingyang, was in Wu County, and Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling, was assassinated in Xin'an. Soon, Yilong also found out that the murderer of the assassination was someone sent by Xu Xianzhi.
When Qiyun suddenly heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and he felt deep regret in his heart, pinning his hopes on Cai Kuo. In the past few days, Qiyun has been panicked and worried, and when he heard the bad news, he was sick in bed under the blow. When Yilong heard this news, he was also worried, the two brothers were killed by the ministers, which meant that there was something they couldn't do.
Whether to go to Jiankang or not, Yilong and his cronies also became hesitant, they were divided into two factions, and for a while, no one could convince anyone. When Yilong was upset, he often accompanied Qiyun carefully in front of his sickbed. Yilong was so quiet, waiting for changes, and the generals and cronies under him were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Sima Wang Hua glanced at the gap where Yilong was not there, greeted Qiyun through the bed tent, and asked Qiyun what he thought of King Yidu's desire to go to Jiankang.
Qiyun was sick and replied reluctantly: "The first emperor covered the world, and the four seas were subdued; Although King Yingyang violated the law and discipline, the prestige of the Liu family did not change. Xu Xianzhi's talent is medium and he is from a humble background; Fu Liang is also a scholar who started as a commoner. They accept the heavy responsibility of trusting orphans, enjoy a high status, and will not betray for a while. In addition, Xu Xianzhi and the other five people have the same merit status, who is willing to obey whom? Even if some of them have bad intentions and try to betray, they will not succeed.
The reason why Xu Xianzhi and others killed King Yingyang and King Luling was because they were afraid of retaliation in the future, and because they were too greedy for life and afraid of death. How dare they rebel all at once? I just want to firmly grasp the power, consolidate the position, and establish a new emperor to make myself valued! ”
At the end, Qiyun said again: "Of course, this is just Qiyun's shallow opinion. Wang Sima, don't take it seriously. ”
Sima Wang Hua chewed Qiyun's words carefully, and felt that it should be feasible for King Yidu to continue to go down the east side of the river. found an opportunity to tell Yilong's words as they were.
After listening intently, Yoshitaka asked him, "Is this your own opinion, or is someone else pointing you out?" ”
Wang Hua knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he had to honestly say that it was the idea of the county lord of Zhuohua. The corners of Yilong's lips curved up slightly, and there was tenderness in his eyes that Wang Hua had never seen before, "I know that there is someone else in the Dao for you to point you out, and you usually don't have such insight." Does the county lord really think so? ”
"Yes," Wang Hua said respectfully, "Your Highness is wise and shrewd, benevolent and generous, and is known far and wide. They led the crowd to welcome them this time, hoping that His Highness would be grateful to them. The subordinates also concluded that Xu Xianzhi and the others would not dare to rebel in a short time, so His Royal Highness only had to get in the car and drive straight into the car to live up to the expectations of God and the people.
Yi Long said with a smile: "In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng hesitated after the palace change in Chang'an, and Song Chang persuaded Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to enter the dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor. Now, Wang Hua is going to be Song Chang's second! So, Yilong convened all his cronies to discuss the matter, and his cronies listened to Wang Hua's opinions, and most of them seconded the proposal, agreeing to go east to Jiankang.
At this time, Liu Yilong made up his mind and said: "Xu Xianzhi and others accept the last orders of the first emperor, so as not to be ungrateful and ungrateful." Moreover, the heroes and old generals are all over the court and outside, and the existing troops are enough to subdue the rebellion, so what else is there to worry about this king! ”
Liu Yilong led his trip from Jiangling and met with Fu Liang again, asking about the deposed and killed of Liu Yizhen and the young emperor Liu Yifu. Fu Liang was shocked and embarrassed, sweating on his back, and unable to deal with it. After a long time, I knew that I couldn't hide it, so I had to tell the story of Liu Yifu's murder in 1510.
It turned out that Cai Kuo had told Fu Liang about the dangers of killing the king, and Fu Liang was also panicked in his heart, and wrote a letter to try to stop Xu Xianzhi's assassination plot. However, Xing Antai and the others sent by Xu Xianzhi acted a moment earlier than Fu Liang's letter.
Xing Antai led people to infiltrate the Jinchang Pavilion in Wu and went to assassinate Liu Yifu. Who knew that Liu Yifu Kong was powerful, fought with them, fought and left, and had to break through and run out of Changmen. The pursuers chased after him and struck him with a latch, and Liu Yifu was injured and fell to the ground. Xing Antai caught up with a knife and hit him right at the point. Liu Yifu was only eighteen years old, and his reign of one year ended his short career as a pleasure to the fullest.
In addition, Xu Xianzhi also sent Pan Liang to lead people to Xin'an to assassinate Liu Yizhen. Fu Liang reported that the assassin forced Yizhen to the cliff, and Yizhen fell to the bottom of the cliff, and after the body was recovered, it was unrecognizable. The young merry son King Luling died at the Xin'an Mountain Cliff.
After Liu Yilong heard this, he was overwhelmed with grief and weeping, and the attendants on both sides did not dare to raise their heads.
In this way, Liu Yilong ordered his Fuzhou civil and military officials and army to strengthen protection and keep a tight guard. The sails and flags belong to each other, and the ships cross the river. The civil and military officials and military of the provisional imperial court from Jiankang could not approach his ranks. Zhu Rongzi, a Chinese soldier who joined the army, held a saber in his hand, and guarded outside the door of the cabin of Liu Yilong's boat, guarding unclothed for dozens of days.
In the past dozens of days, Yilong's subordinates have been nervous and restless. But Yilong is still unprosperous, calm and calm, just carefully caring for Qiyun, and comes to ask for warmth every day. Sometimes seeing that Qiyun's spirit is better, he holds books such as "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", and the two talk about the controversy. In this way, it also distracted a lot of Yilong's mind.
Qiyun saw that at this critical juncture, he ignored himself, but accompanied him in front of his sickbed, and he admired him a lot. There is some bitterness and some dependence in the heart, and the hundred tastes are complex and difficult to distinguish.
After entering Jiankang City, Liu Yilong paid homage to the tomb of his father, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, and came back to stay in the middle hall. The civil and military officials of the imperial court presented the emperor's seal, and Liu Yilong pushed it several times before accepting it, and inherited the throne in Zhongtang. Then he entered the palace by the emperor's special law, ascended to the front hall of Taiji, ordered an amnesty, and changed the year name to Yuanjia. All civil and military officials were added to the second rank, and the princess Yuan Qifei was named the queen and presided over the affairs of the six palaces.
Liu Yilong worshiped the royal ancestral temple and issued an edict to restore Liu Yizhen's title of King Luling. Regarding Liu Yizhen's coffin to welcome back Jiankang, Yilong strictly ordered everyone not to let Qiyun know the news, for fear that she would touch the scene again and hurt her body.
