Chapter 41 The general fishes the rock, and the herring bears the seal

Even if you really want to be the emperor, it is not something that can be decided today, after An Xiulin resolutely resigned, Yuan Can stood up and said: "The mandate of heaven is incomprehensible, the artifact is indispensable, the new monarch is on the throne, when the altar is built to tell the heavens and the earth, I suggest that Taichang Temple be set up, responsible for many matters required for the ceremony, it is better to take care of it first, and also leave some time for His Highness to think......"

"Good!"

An Zishang immediately agreed, pointed at Yuan Can, and said: "Liulang, you also know Yuan Minsun, he is familiar with court etiquette and is proficient in etiquette, and he can be too often ordered!" ”

The two sang and harmonized, turning whether Ashurin would ascend the throne or not to when he would ascend the throne. If you really build an altar and have to send it, can you still refuse?

Yan Wan and Tan Xiaozu seconded the proposal at the same time, and the other generals also reacted, supporting the merit, is there a more profitable deal in the world than this? Suddenly, everyone said that they wanted to build an altar and build momentum.

An Xiulin said helplessly: "But it's up to my uncle to decide!" ”

An Zishang was overjoyed, hugged An Xiulin fiercely, and then went to visit the body of King Jiangxia, standing by the bed with tears in his eyes, and lamented: "My short-lived nephew, ......"

Yuan Can knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, but he was relieved. The king of Jiangxia is a strict person, whether he is dead, he escaped from Jinling and took refuge in front of the battle, but after all, he has a negative emperor, and it is a great fortune not to blame in the past, where is the opportunity to make too many orders and become one of the nine Qings? The king of Linchuan is kind by nature, and with this support, it is enough for the grace of the three generations of the Yuan family to be undiminished, and bad things become good things, which is enough.

After a night of preparation, early the next morning, An Xiulin was surrounded by An Zishang, Yuan Can, Yan Wan, Tan Xiaozu and many civil and military generals, and arrived at Xinting by boat.

Xu You appeared at the right time, and on the grounds of returning to Jingkou to report the battle situation of Qingxu, he learned that An Xiulin had come to Jiangning, and he happened to meet him in Xinting, so that no one would doubt Xu You's sudden appearance, and there would be no flaws in the death of King Jiangxia.

After entering Xinting, Yuan Can presided over the construction of the altar in the southern suburbs, and mobilized 3,000 troops, which only needed one day and night to create. And the most important thing is to persuade in, but seeing that the altar is about to be built, Anshulin will not let go no matter what, and everyone is so anxious that they are like headless flies, and they are in a mess.

An Zishang convened everyone again to discuss, and Yan Wan proposed: "General Zhengbei is the most trusted and relied on person by His Royal Highness, and the matter of ascending the throne has to rely on the general. ”

Most of the people in the audience had heard of Yan Wan's temperament, arrogance, and lack of talent, and they were a little surprised to see him so respectful to Xu You. But after thinking about it, the Cuiyu Army under Xu You has almost occupied Qing and Xu Erzhou, and its combat effectiveness has attracted the attention of the world, and there are even more masters around him, just this time there are two little masters of Qingming and Zhu Wuchen accompanying him, and he has a lot to do with the four surnames of Yangzhou, and he is the brother-in-law of An Xiulin, it is conceivable that the Yixing Xu clan will rise again in the near future, and it will be far more prosperous and powerful than before.

Yan Wan is respectful, which is the practice of smart people, but it is also a little shameful.

If the character of the literati is bent for power, this style and bone are worthless!

Xu You was rarely silent.

Tan Xiaozu followed and persuaded: "King Jiangxia's affairs can't be hidden from Jinling for too long, if Zhengbei doesn't advise His Highness to take the throne as soon as possible, once Jinling releases rumors first, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army." The expedition to the north is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and understands that what I said is true, only by setting the position early, and all the soldiers and soldiers can be at ease, can they be loyal to the death, and fight against the Lord and kill the thief......"

Xu You still didn't say anything.

At this time, even An Zishang was anxious, and said: "General Zhengbei......"

Xu You hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare, Taibao can just call the kid by his name." ”

"Then I will rely on the old man and sell the old man, and call you Qilang." An Zishang said earnestly: "What doubts does Shichiro have? Just bring it up, everyone will discuss it, and there will always be a solution. ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "When I was in Linchuan, I heard His Royal Highness say that the king of Jiangxia is a god and should be the master. He has never intended to be the emperor, not to mention that King Jiangxia has just been borne, and His Royal Highness will never take his place...... Unless ......"

"Unless what?" An Zishang was so anxious that he patted his thigh and said, "It's okay for Shichiro to say it directly!" ”

"Unless you Niangniang settles down first, otherwise, I don't think His Highness will nod his head......"

Yan Wan suddenly said, this is his carelessness, You Yuan is still here, if he didn't discuss the name in advance, the king of Linchuan has always been benevolent and filial, how could he go to grab the throne that originally belonged to the king of Jiangxia?

And these words can't be mentioned by himself, his subordinates have to take the initiative to put them forward, Xu You either secretly got the instructions of the king of Linchuan, or he is exquisitely clear and really has nine hearts.

"This ......" An Zishang also realized the problem, this matter seems simple, but in fact it is difficult to climb to the sky. King Linchuan's biological mother died early, he was raised by Concubine Zhao since he was a child, Concubine Zhao has also passed away for many years, he and You Yuan are not close, You Yuan went out of the town when King Jiangxia was young, and it can even be said that the two have not even met a few times.

As usual, you Yuan will be raised in Taicheng, and she will be treated preferentially in a secluded palace, or in Jiangling's hometown or in Jinling City, she will have to choose by herself, and then reward the grace of the house land slaves and other graces, and take care of her days. But since An Xiulin prides himself on being benevolent and filial, he can't do this, he must welcome him into the main palace, pay homage to the temple and the society, and respect the title, but whether he is respected as the imperial concubine or the queen mother, there is a big difference, and he can't figure out An Xiulin's true intentions, and no one dares to speak easily, even An Zishang doesn't have the courage to do so.

"Qilang, what Yan Senjun said is right, this matter depends on you. No matter what the sixth child wants to do, we all support it, now is not the time to worry about these things, we must hurry up to the throne, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. ”

Xu You was waiting for An Zishang's words, pretending to hesitate for a long time, and said, "Okay, I'll go to see Your Highness!" ”

That night, after Xu You's persuasion, An Xiulin reluctantly relented, and decided that after entering Jinling, he would respect You Yuan as the queen mother, which clearly showed that he would regard him as his mother-in-law and do his filial piety on behalf of the king of Jiangxia. When the news came out, the old troops of the Jiangxia King, who were still a little nervous, no longer had any worries, and the main generals in the upper echelons of the Jingzhou Army were completely attached.

All arrangements stopped, in the early morning of the next day, Tan Xiaozu announced the death of the king of Jiangxia, because of the advance and the chief officials above the lord of the building have been ventilated, and Tan Xiaozu has a strong control over the Jingzhou army, although the army's heart fluctuated, but did not cause too much shock.

On the same day, he received a table from Zhu Zhi, the assassin of Jiangzhou, saying that the white dragon came out of the remaining water, and the zhu grass was born in Shangrao, and there were green clouds like a cover, covering the Linchuan Palace; On the second day, Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Yuying on the table, saying that the top of Yuelu Mountain heard the phoenix singing, the white tiger at the foot of Weishan appeared, and the auspicious wind should come down from Xuanji; There is also Gu Yun, the assassin of Yangzhou, who said that Venus is in the sky, and the five rainbows run through the day, and there will be a holy lord to come out...... Of course, no one cares about the authenticity of these auspicious rui, and even the top table of the assassins is all Xibei goods that Yan Wan led people to drum up - I really have to wait for the states to report the auspicious rui, and it is too late to come up, anyway, this is a great thing, and I can afford you to be on the table on your behalf, and no one will feel offended.

Then Xie Xiwen, Wei Buqu and others also rushed from Beijing, and each named the table to persuade them, but An Xiulin refused to resign. Everyone was anxious and went to find Xu You again, but they were told that General Xu had gone to the river to fish, so they flocked to it.

Xu You was wearing a robe, facing the river breeze, sitting on the stone by the river, looking from a distance, as if he had landed in the fairy world, not in the world. Yan Wan and the others looked at each other, and when they came behind them, Wei Buqu was about to speak, when he saw Xu You booing his fingers, a big fish with a blue head and a black back struggled to take the bait, looking at the body nearly two meters long, it was estimated that it would be at least one hundred and eighty or ninety pounds.

Even in the Yangtze River, this is a rare big fish!

"Qingming!"

The fishing line was almost broken by the herring, Qingming leaned into the river, and the toe was lightly on the surface of the river, and the herring was aroused three feet, and his hand was like electricity, choking the belly of the fish, and then he turned over and fell back to the same place, which was exactly the same as the position he was standing in just now.

Qingming suddenly sighed and said, "Lang Jun, there is something in the belly of the fish!" ”

"Oh?" Xu Youqi said: "Open it and take a look, Xu ate the sundries thrown by the fishermen, restrained and did not move, and accumulated in the abdomen. ”

This is a common thing in the river, and no one doubts it, Qingming crossed his fingertips, and in front of everyone, he took out a seal, Yan Wan and Xie Xiwen changed color at the same time, or Yan Wan was fast, snatched it, looked closely, and gradually showed horror in his eyes: "This ...... This is the heirloom jade seal ......"

Xie Xiwen also hurriedly leaned over, and after confirming it again and again, he said affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed Qin Xi." There are rumors in Jinling that An Xiuming did not find Qin Xi in the palace after killing his father, and the seals used in the edict were forged. ”

The jade seal of the country is three inches square, if it weren't for the big size of this fish, it really wouldn't be able to swallow it, but because of this, no one suspected that it was artificial, Yan Wanxi was overjoyed, and actually grabbed Xu You's arm, and said: "The general fishes the rock, the herring bears the seal, this is the number of days, the number of days!" ”

In an instant, the news of the loss and recovery of the jade seal spread all over Xinting, and the three armies were excited, and Xu You led the table again: "The gentleman does not know it, and the cover is as lacking." If the name is not right, the words are not good, and if the words are not good, the things will not be successful, and if the things are not done, the etiquette will not be happy, and the punishment will not be successful. If the punishment is not successful, the people will be at a loss. Gu Junzi's name must be spoken, and what he said must be feasible...... When the time is in the palace, it must wait for the innate karma; The deification of the emperor is the luck of the leaf. When the minister hears that the sky is gone, it is inherently constant, and the saint deserves it, and there is no doubt about it. His Royal Highness was ordered by heaven, Fu Rui told the sign, Ding Ning learned in detail, and repeatedly prepared for it...... Now that the edict has been issued, the seal is not royal, stubborn and humble, the mandate of heaven is on the top, and the people are against the people's feelings. According to the ancient classics, the ministers refer to the map of the latitude, the fortune of Chu and the way of heaven, that is, the test of respect, in this month of this year, the Zhao is clear, and the rules are as good as the left. Only His Majesty is easy to think about and take the throne at the right time, and the world is very fortunate......"

An Xiulin was also frightened by the appearance of the jade seal of the country and thought that it was the destiny of heaven, and did not dare to refuse, and finally nodded in agreement.

On September 3, the enthronement ceremony began, An Xiulin wore the uniform of the Son of Heaven, and went on the stage, although in view of the situation, everything was simple, but nothing was greater than the right position, and the ceremony was not prosperous in changing the yuan, and it was still tedious to toss for nearly two hours. After worshipping heaven and earth and reading out the policy, An Xiulin officially assumed the emperor's throne, granted amnesty to the world, and told Jinling, except for the culprits such as An Xiuming, Cao Shu's statement from the old department of the East Palace, and the Xiao and Shen rebels, the rest will not be investigated.

Yangzhou and Jingzhou departments, civil and military officials are given a first-class knight, and the rest are promoted to one level, and the reward is not counted. The name of Emperor An Zidao of Daxing was changed to Wen, and the Emperor Jing given by An Xiuming was cancelled, and the temple name was Taizu. Awarded Jingling Wang An Zishang as a lieutenant, Lu Shang Shushi, and leading the general, Xu You as a hussar general, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, and Xuzhou Thorn History, Du Duqing, Xu Erzhou and other military inside and outside, promoted to the second grade, Tan Xiaozu as the general of the chariot cavalry, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, and Jingzhou Thorn History, Zhang Huai as the Wei general, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, Di Xia as the general of the guard, Xie Xiwen for the left servant of Shangshu, Tao Jiang as the right servant of Shangshu, Gu Yun as the secretary of the Shangshu, and Yangzhou Thorn History, Yan Wan, Wei Buqu as the servant, Wang Xuanmo for the general of Zhengdong, and Yongzhou Thorn History, And so on, all those who have meritorious service from the dragon will all be added to the rank of knight.

Drinking and having fun that night, all night long, Yan Wan, who was drunk in a daze, was helped into the room by two maidservants, and suddenly saw a person standing in the darkness three steps away, and asked drunkenly: "Who is so bold and dares to trespass on me...... Uh, when the couch in the court's chamberlain......"

The short knife pierced into Yan Wan's mouth like a poisonous snake, and came out through the back of her head, and the look of shock froze between her eyebrows and eyes, and the blood flowed down the corners of her mouth to the placket of her clothes, ticking and ticking, as if the monk had sounded the immortal bell and drum.

The maidservant screamer who followed behind him ran away, and the guards rushed to hear the sound, and among the swords of Rulin, the person who had killed Yan Wan slowly walked out of the room, and by the ray of morning light on the edge of the sky, his old and thin face was illuminated.

Guo Mian.

Xu You, Tan Xiaozu, Xie Xiwen and others also rushed over, Guo Mian didn't look at Xu You, and said with a slight smile: "Yan Shizhong wanted to kill me many times as early as when he was in Jiangling, and the little old man only came to avenge his personal revenge. ”

Then he stabbed himself in the neck and killed himself!
