Chapter 411: Self-reliance
Flags fluttered on the school ground, and soldiers in bright armor stood in line with high spirits, their eyes firm.
Zhou Heng stood on the high platform and said: "The king of Chu rebelled, and now I will use my dignified army to conquer the rebellion in person." Soldiers, do you have faith? ”
"Have faith! Have confidence! Have confidence! A majestic voice echoed in the air.
The echo did not stop, the sergeant escorted the nursery and Fang Wenzhong out, slaughtered them on the spot, took their heads and sacrificed the flag, and when the sergeant's blood was boiling, the army set off.
Cui Zhenyi led the officials who stayed in Beijing to send them out of the city ten miles away, and Huang Luogai and the army who saw the emperor gradually moved away, and finally became a black spot until they disappeared.
In the car, Cui Keyin also lifted the curtain and looked at the direction of the city gate. Shen Mingzhu next to her looked at her and said, "But you are reluctant to leave the capital?" ”
Cui Keyin retracted her gaze, shook her head, and said, "How come?" ”
Shen Mingzhu pretended to be a palace person, lowered her eyebrows and followed her to get into the car, the civil and military officials did not know that there was an additional concubine of the first emperor in the car, so naturally there was no way to object.
This expedition was led by Zhou Heng himself, and the army went all the way to the west. Along the way, Cui Keyin and Shen Mingzhu talked about it, often pulled up the car window to look at the scenery outside, the road was sometimes difficult to walk, and the road was flat, but the two enjoyed it and did not ask for special care.
The generals in the army thought that the queen would be driving with them, and they must be squeamish, thinking that the army must not be fast, so they can only sit and watch the rebels break through. Unexpectedly, Cui Keyin's daily diet was taken care of by a fat man named Hongdou, so he didn't have to bother with the military stove, the army stopped, Cui Keyin's honor guard carriage stopped, and the army marched. Cui Keyin's honor guard carriage line can completely keep up with the pace of the army.
That's pretty rare. The eyes of the generals who were originally a little resentful in private looked at the queen's car gradually changed, and occasionally met the palace people when they were resting, and then said hello.
As the army marched westward, more and more refugees fled along the road, ranging from wealthy businessmen with cars, property and families to ordinary people with unclothed clothes. Zhou Heng ordered to take in refugees in the prefectures and counties along the road and open warehouses for grain.
Zhou Kang has laid down Yiyang and rested in Yiyang.
When he rebelled, the prefectures and counties around Luoyang were defenseless. The rate is caught off guard. In just one month, he captured eight or nine cities. As the news of his rebellion spread, both the state and the county and the imperial court were already on guard, and they rushed to and fro to deliver the news, and the orders of the imperial court continued to be sent to the states and counties. It will be difficult for him to fight.
Even so. A few months down. He also occupied most of Henan. Now he is full of confidence, thinking that he is invincible in the world, and he received the news of Zhou Heng's personal expedition. Haha laughed, and said wildly: "My younger brother is a useless one, except for being good-looking, he has no fart skills." Can you eat it as a meal if you look good? Driving a personal expedition? Hahaha, you're here to give me the throne, right? He sent it to the door himself, so that I didn't have to fight hard to get to the capital, and I could ascend the throne here. ”
The funny dog leg immediately sneered: "What the prince of Chu said is true, Zhou Heng is here, and he will not return if he is called." ”
Some people even clamored to make dragon robes, and they could ascend the throne immediately after killing Zhou Heng.
Zhou Kang looked at Lu Guohua.
Lu Guohua pondered for a while and said, "According to the minister, the prince already has so many cities, and it is not impossible to ascend the throne. ”
Zhou Kangde Lu Guohua affirmed that he was overjoyed. Seeing that Lu Guohua agreed with their opinions, the dogleg was even more complacent. For a while, there was laughter and laughter in the big tent, and it was very lively.
Zhou Kang was very satisfied with his subordinates' words, and said with a big stab: "Hurry up to make the dragon robe, pick the auspicious day, and wait for the widow to kill the fourth child and ascend to the big treasure." ”
When the news came out, the morale of the rebels was even higher, and look, his own prince was about to become the emperor, no matter what, he could get some benefits and rise to a few levels.
So, everyone couldn't help but go to Lu Guohua in private, some expressed it euphemistically, some went straight to the point, and some explained the pros and cons. In short, when it comes to talking and talking, it is nothing more than a sentence, Zhou Kang obeyed his plan and asked him to persuade Zhou Kang to ascend the throne as soon as possible. It's better for them to be promoted early.
Moreover, I heard that the imperial army is approaching step by step, and the current emperor is shrewd, but it is not the foolish eggs of Emperor Zhi'an, if Zhou Zhou Kang can't beat him, won't they become cannon fodder? embarking on the road of rebellion, then there will be unlimited success and infinite scenery, and Cheng Ren has just sold this cheap life. It's nothing to die, it's just that you died without the addiction of being a big official, wouldn't you be wronged.
Lu Guohua also had no bottom about Zhou Kang in his heart, if the imperial court sent generals to command the army and sent eunuchs to supervise the army, there was still hope for victory. Anyway, he looked down on the mutilated eunuchs, and thought that he had a little more things than others, and he was a little stronger.
Now that Zhou Heng is driving in person, it is not necessarily.
He thought about it again and again, but at the invitation of everyone, he said to Zhou Kang, don't wait to kill Zhou Heng, and go directly to the throne.
Zhou Kang has been in Luoyang for so many years, and he has been preparing for rebellion, and he has already touched all the temperaments of officials in the province. Since the founding of Taizu, the main positions above one county have all been born in the imperial examination, and there are no military generals, so it is easy for him to succeed.
When the flag was victorious, he fluttered up, thinking that he was destined to return. Under the flattery of the dogs, and at the instigation of Lu Guohua, he decided to choose an auspicious day to succeed to the throne.
Zhou Kang is a sincere person, and he immediately acted vigorously and resolutely, catching countless embroidery girls to make dragon robes for him day and night, but in seven days, the dragon robe was made.
Zhou Heng received the news that Zhou Kang had ascended the throne as emperor on the road.
When Zhou Kang's enthronement edict came, Zhou Heng was playing chess with Cui Keyin in the car, and it was a long road, and it was impossible for him to ride on a horse all the time. In addition to getting on the bus to deal with official business and war reports, a rare pastime every day is to play chess with Cui Keyin.
As for playing, of course, it's after the counterinsurgency. Business and leisure are both separated.
"He's the emperor?" Cui Keyin said strangely: "Did the brain let the donkey kick?" ”
But after occupying more than 20 cities, he dared to be the emperor, is Zhou Heng really a dead man?
Zhou Heng played with the chess pieces in his hand, and before he could speak, Tang Tianzheng outside the car was begging to see him. When he heard that Zhou Kang was proclaimed emperor, he was anxious and angry, and asked the army to march quickly, striving to reach Yiyang within three days, and destroy Zhou Kang in one fell swoop.
Zhou Heng smiled and said, "We are only three days away from Yiyang, didn't he just take the throne this morning?" The order went down, the whole army accelerated, and Yiyang must be rushed before midnight. ”
You want to be the emperor, I don't want you to have a good time, can you be it?
The order was passed down, and the whole army accelerated.
Zhou Heng turned over and rode his horse and led the generals and hundreds of officials to rush ahead.
The carriage Cui Keyin was sitting in rushed forward like an arrow from the string, and the car was in a hurry, and the car was bumpy and bumpy. Cui Keyin was afraid that Lele would bump into it, so she held Lele in her arms. Lele hugged her mother's neck tightly and said, "Queen Mother, where are we going?" ”
Along the way, Zhou Heng sometimes took him to ride a horse, he no longer liked to ride in a car, he liked to ride on horseback, looking in all directions, he could see the blue sky, the mountains in the distance, and listen to his father's guidance.
Cui Keyin said: "Let's go to Yiyang to see my father quell the rebellion." ”
"Oh." Lele nodded, struggling to leave his mother's embrace, and said, "I want to quell the rebellion with my father." ”
This kid. Cui Keyin hurriedly hugged him tightly and said, "When you grow up, it's not too late to lead the troops, now you are honestly staying here with the queen mother." ”
Lu Ying also persuaded: "Prince, the car is not very stable, don't make trouble." ”
The road was too bumpy, and it was uncomfortable.
"I want to grow up quickly and help my father put down the rebellion." Lele said seriously. (To be continued.) )
