Chapter 285: Make a Wish
Cui Zhenyi walked along the Jinshui Bridge to the noon gate, and a person behind him called out repeatedly: "Lord Cui, please wait." ”
His voice made many officials look sideways.
Cui Zhenyi stopped and turned around, only to see the new household servant Gu Quan running over with his robe in small steps, arching his hand to Cui Zhenyi from afar, and said, "The lower official wants to go to Lord Cui's mansion to disturb, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Now that the emperor has died, the national mourning is at hand, and it is an eventful autumn, this Tianxian Pavilion is impossible to go, so I have to go to the house to talk about things. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a double win to go to the Drunken Immortal Building first, and then to the Tianxian Pavilion?
Gu Quan was the first person to propose that Zhou Heng succeed him in the early dynasty. After Xiaoqi brought back the news of Emperor An's death, the question of who would succeed him was placed in front of the ministers. If Emperor Zhi'an has a crown prince, then it is natural for the prince to succeed to the throne. Even if there is no crown prince, as long as there is a son, the ministers should follow the ancestral precept of establishing a successor and a long, and establish the son of Emperor An as the emperor.
However, until Emperor An's marriage for ten years, the queen of the main palace did not have anything to do, and even the many concubines in the harb/palace did not give birth to a boy and a girl. Then the successor emperor can only be found from the Wenzong lineage, that is, from several adult princes.
Wenzong had three princes to seal the princes, namely: the second prince Zhou Kang, the king of Chu, the third prince Zhou Mao, the king of Qi, and the fourth prince Zhou Heng, the king of Jin. These three are all adults, and the most noble of them is naturally Zhou Heng, the king of Jin from Wei Guifei, whose mother was named a concubine during her lifetime, and was later called Empress Wende. Before his death, Wenzong left a will to be buried with Empress Wende, that is, Concubine Wei.
After Emperor An ascended the throne, his biological mother Empress Yang was the queen mother. The Queen Mother hated Concubine Wei and forced her to die. Depose Empress Wende. Emperor An had no choice but to revoke the nickname of Empress Wende of Wei Guifei and respect her as a concubine.
Although Concubine Wei was deposed, she was the former Empress Wende. In this way, Wenzong has two queens, and Zhou Heng can also be regarded as the queen.
More importantly, before Emperor An set out on the expedition, he issued an edict to Zhou Heng to supervise the country, which was understood by the courtiers as a hint that Zhou Heng was intended to be passed on.
Most people in the court still supported the establishment of Zhou Heng as emperor. Of course, there are also some people who oppose it. The reason is reasonable. Zhou Heng ranked fourth. The eldest brother is Emperor An, and there are two brothers above, if you want to talk about the longest, of course, it is Zhou Kang, the king of Chu. Although Zhou Kang's background is not as noble as Zhou Heng. But it occupies a "long" word.
For this. The courtiers were divided into two factions. It's been two days now.
The argument was still inconclusive, so Gu Quan preemptively asked Zhou Heng to be the emperor in the early court, and rushed to Xinglin Hutong after the next court. Many of the courtiers knew what he wanted to do. those who support it, and they rub it over; Those who objected pursed their lips disdainfully and walked away quickly.
Cui Zhenyi hesitated slightly, agreed, and went to Xinglin Hutong with Gu Quan, and there were more than a dozen courtiers.
Since the news of Emperor An's death has been transmitted back, the Great Jiang family has fainted to death twice, and even the emperor can't be saved, let alone Tang Tianzheng, the elder? This time I was too dead to die. Jiang is by her side day and night, but she is afraid that she will not be able to think about it and do something stupid.
Tang Lun was already on his way to Fort Sheephorn, and he needed to implement them one by one to the extent of the army's defeat, the losses, how many people escaped, and how many wounded could be saved.
Chen Jun's second 800-li urgent memo also arrived in the capital, only saying that there were more than 4,000 injured and alive, and asked the imperial court to send imperial doctors to Ulzhou to help treat them. This time, Tang Lun was accompanied by more than 20 imperial doctors and more than 100 doctors. He also said that there were the corpses of the dead soldiers everywhere, and the land was stained red with blood for more than ten miles, and there were blood stains on the ground six or seven zhang into the ground.
once killed or buried first, and walked away after killing and robbing.
Of the 200,000 people, only more than 4,000 are alive!
More than 200,000 coffins are needed!
How to deal with it, Zhou Heng gave Tang Lun the right to dictate in front of the battle, and ordered Chen Jun to cooperate with Tang Lun.
Of the sixty-six officers who accompanied the expedition, none survived, and none of them received any news. The family members felt that they must have been martyred, and many people cried to Cui Keyin and asked for the seal.
In the past few days, Cui Keyin has been very busy, visiting and comforting one by one, and when she comes home, she is tired and has a sore back. But when he thought that these people were taken to the battlefield by Emperor Zhi'an, and therefore died, Cui Keyin had nothing to say.
He first asked for a ransom to redeem the dragon body of Emperor An, but the ministers quarreled for a few days, but there was no result. While Zhou Heng asked them to continue to discuss, he sent two people as messengers to negotiate with Zeng Xian. These two people, one is Xue Danian, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the deputy envoy of the Ministry of War.
Whether it is the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War, the deputy envoy is a small official who has not entered the stream. The so-called not entering the stream means that there is no grade, and the court system has a minimum grade of nine grades. The two people sent didn't even have the lowest ninth grade, which shows how perfunctory Zhou Heng was to Zeng Xian.
These two people usually go to the government to do errands, and they planned to eat and wait for death like this, but they didn't expect that Tuo Zengxian's blessing would one day become the Celestial Dynasty's Qincha, bringing more than ten people, and the scenery was sent to Tatar.
What is the purpose of the mission? Of course, it is to return to the dragon body of Emperor An. Ransom? That's sorry, this Ben Qin almost didn't dare to be good at it, so he had to go back to Beijing to report to the prince of Jin.
He fought first, but he was a rough man who could only fight, and he wouldn't go around these twists and turns. Delicious food and drink entertained the two for many days, and finally under Wang Xian's reminder, he realized that he had been fooled by Zhou Heng.
Otherwise, how can you say that the traitor is hateful? If there was no Wang Xian to remind him, probably Zhou Heng would have armed the capital to the teeth, and Zeng Xian would not have been able to wake up.
Zeng first learned the truth and was furious.
Wang Xian gave him an idea, used the corpse of Emperor An to open the city gate, led the troops straight in, and occupied the city without a single soldier.
The closest city to Ulju is Datong, which is only more than 100 miles away. This is the most important city in the border pass. Since making a wish here, Zeng has never been able to get benefits, and sometimes he has suffered a small loss. He hated making a wish. I heard that the corpse of Emperor An could be used to open the city, and I was overjoyed and led my troops straight to Datong.
Wang Xian shouted under the city: "Lord Xu, the emperor's dragon body is here, why don't you quickly open the city and bow to the incense, when will you wait?" ”
Even if Emperor An died, it would be useful.
Wishing naturally received the news of Emperor Zhi'an's death, these days to strictly guard Datong, the defense is to take advantage of the army's unstable heart to attack the city. The elite troops like the Fifth Army Battalion collapsed without a fight, and the pressure and trauma in the hearts of the soldiers guarding the border can be imagined.
He didn't know if the corpse in the emperor's crown was real or false, and he didn't dare to release the arrow. Only the soldiers were ordered to strictly guard the city wall, and those who did not obey the orders were killed on the spot.
Wang Xian shouted a few times, made a wish to appear at the battlement, and said: "Since the emperor is here, please also ask the emperor to come forward to speak, if it is indeed the emperor, the minister should open the city to greet him." ”
Let a dead man come forward and speak! Zeng Xian was so angry that he fell back. (To be continued.) )
