Chapter 54

Xu You first arranged for someone to go back to Qiantang to send a letter to report safety, Zhang Xuanji and others must have sleepless day and night, so let them know as soon as possible, so that they can rest assured. In addition, it is necessary to let He Wei Zuo Yan and the Winter Solstice rush from Mingyu Mountain to Wu County, how to deal with the current situation next, He Wei, as the mastermind, must not leave for a while, the Winter Solstice is in charge of the intelligence agency, naturally cannot be absent, as for Zuo Yan, the role of the little grandmaster is always beyond imagination.

After washing off the dust, Xu You changed his clothes, sat in the inner room, and learned from Gu Yun about the progress of the situation in the past half a month since he returned to Wu County with his head and tail exposed.

After the prince killed his father, he coerced Liu Ning, Yu Hao and others to submit overnight, Gu Zhuoning died, was beheaded by Cao Shu, and then recruited hundreds of officials into the palace, only dozens of people were called to come, and they were immediately crowned, succeeded to the throne, and announced the edict: Gu Zhuo in the service, Liang Xiu, the general of the left guard, rebelled and rebelled, and the soldiers entered the palace, and there was nothing to do, and the number collapsed, and the heart and liver were broken. Now the sinner Side, the culprit is killed, I will amnesty the world, change the Yuan Tiansheng, and everyone knows.

Since three generations or less, I don't know how many people are called emperors, but An Xiuming is the first emperor to kill his father and seize the throne.

The change of the Yuan Tiansheng was discussed by An Xiuming and Yudao Zhen a long time ago, but when the specific time to change the yuan, Wei Tianzhi raised an objection, according to the rules, it should not be officially changed until next year. An Xiuming was not in the right position, and he couldn't wait so long, so he summoned Yuan Can, a Zhongshulang, and asked him if there was a precedent for changing the Yuan in the previous dynasty?

Gu Zhuo's head was still hanging at the door of the Taiji Palace, Yuan Can was afraid of death, and Emperor Wei Ai had changed the Yuan after the death of Emperor Wei Ming, and it was not impossible for the Lord to change the Yuan. An Xiuming was overjoyed, and he was crowned with Yuan Canjin Ziguanglu Doctor, and he also led the Ministry of Officials.

After the accession to the throne was completed, An Xiuming still lived in the Western Province, which was in Taicheng, where the prince lived when he was a child, and only moved to the East Palace when he became an adult. He killed his father fashionably and boldly, but after the fact, he became more and more frightened, and did not dare to mourn in person, Xiao Xunqi entered the Xianyang Palace, and the body of An Zidao was coffined, and he was called Emperor Jing, and the temple name was Taizong. Three days after the coffin was stopped, the national funeral was held, and the Changning Mausoleum was buried, the lord of a generation of Zhongxing, and the curtain came to an end.

Next, on the reward of meritorious deeds, the old department of the East Palace all soared into the sky, Wei Tianzhi shot for the servant of Shangshu, and the main Shangshu Tai affair, since then Shangshuling has become a vacant position, and it is no longer prestigious. Cao Shu is the general of the left guard, Yin Su is the general of the right guard, the palace is forbidden, the statement is the general of the left army, guarding the stone city, and Ren Jian is the general of the right army, guarding the Jingkou. He Zheng was the auxiliary general, Wei Jing was the captain of the Tun cavalry, Zhang Chu was the general of the strong crossbow, and the rest of the departments were promoted to two levels, and the gold and silver were not counted, and they completely controlled the Chinese army.

If you reward your own people, your collaborators should also be appeased. Feng Xiao Xunqi is the great Sima, and the captain of the division, Shen Du is the general, commanding the Chinese army, Xiao Yushu is the leading general, Shen Mu's car riding general, Shen Qing is the general of the protection army, Shen Yue is the Huangmen squire, Jiabei Zhonglang general, civil and military double award, counselor military aircraft, dignitary for a while.

Although the other princes and nobles did not contribute, they should not make trouble afterwards and support the new monarch, so they could not be too stingy. Jingling King An Zishang, nicknamed the Lord of the Exposed Bird, but also led the responsibility of Yangzhou Thorn History, especially he is also An Xiuming's only uncle who is still in the world, so he was named Taibao and did not pay homage. Hengyang Wang An Xiuyuan, that is the younger brother who is embarrassed, can not be slack, so he was crowned as a lieutenant, and the military of Xu, Yan, Qing, Hebei, and Henan were all superintended, and the history of Xuzhou was also thorned.

In addition, the crown princess Wang was set up as the queen, respected Yu Daozhen as a divine teacher, welcomed Princess Shi'an into the palace, rewarded more, released Li Qi'er from prison, released him to the Shen house, and split Xue Anguo's car and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness. In addition, he killed more than 30 diehards of the imperial court who were loyal to An Zidao and refused to submit to it by thunderbolts, razed his nine clans, and the Pearl River outside Taicheng was dyed red for seven days.

Tempted by fame and fortune, deterred by killing and slaughtering, An Xiuming put on the posture of a corporal of Lixian, and personally visited the mansions of various lords and important ministers to ask for good strategies for governing the country. This move confused many people, and it quickly stabilized the situation in Jinling. Then dozens of envoys were sent to various states and counties across the country, not only to inspect all directions, to show the sense of existence of the new monarch, but also to proclaim the reasons for the changes in the capital, to denounce the crimes of rebellion by Gu Zhuo Liangxiu and others, to occupy the highest point of morality, and to maintain the sanctity of imperial power.

Enwei and out, rewarded and punished, and willing to condescend to be low and small, buy people's hearts, although An Xiuming is obedient, but after all, he has been a prince for 20 years, and he knows that the key to politics is to win people, and the emperor who has no support is just a puppet and duckweed, so he tries his best to get the support of hundreds of officials, even if half of them are not convinced, at least they have a firm foothold, and as long as the states surrender in the future, major events can be decided.

Xu You was silent when he heard all this. An Xiuming is more powerful than he imagined, and it is even more difficult to deal with, under the suppression of An Zidao before, he couldn't see any heroic means, but now he has no constraints, and he immediately shows a bit of eye-catching strategy.

Gu Yun sighed: "An Xiuming stole the throne and has the name of orthodoxy, now that Kyoto is in the heart, there are many hesitants from all over the world, but I can't see that in March, under the court's wooing, promises, and rewards, I am afraid that everyone will bow down......"

Xu You stood against the window, an unknown small flower by the window poked in through the window, he broke it gently, put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "Fourth Uncle Zhu has something to say to me?" ”

Although Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang are talented, only Zhu Zhi can be called far-sighted and a good teacher. On the occasion of this once-in-a-century change, his opinion is of great importance to Xu You.

"Fourth Uncle Zhu sent someone to deliver a letter earlier, saying that he would hand it over to ...... when you came back."

Xu You turned back abruptly and said, "Where is the letter?" ”

After reading Zhu Zhi's letter, Xu You had the bottom of his heart, and went with Gu Yun to visit Zhang's family advocate Jinglong. Zhang Jinglong is over fifty years old, but his hair is still black, he is quite friendly to Xu You, and after talking about business, he even called Zhang Xuanji's father Zhang Ji and asked him to thank him in person: "Zhu Rui told me that you asked him to try his best to let his son leave Beijing, otherwise he, as a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, will either rebel or martyr at this time, why not stay useful and get rid of rebellion for the country?" ”

Xu You didn't expect that the first meeting with his future father-in-law would be such an embarrassing occasion, so he took the initiative to kneel down and salute, and said: "Zhongcheng, the kid is ignorant, and he took the initiative to collide with Zhongcheng in Jinling, but he begged for punishment and didn't dare to ask for forgiveness!" ”

Zhang Ji left Beijing on leave because his mother was critically ill, and escaped a catastrophe, which really promised Xu You a lot of favors. However, the two knew that Xu You's plea was not for this matter, but for Zhang Xuanji.

The reason why Zhang Ji opposed Zhang Xuanji and Xu You was mainly because of his identity as the lone son of the Xu family, and he was afraid that the prince would ascend the throne in the future and cause trouble for the family. But now that the situation has developed to this point, it is clear that Gu Lu Zhu Zhang will never be willing to support a tyrant who kills his father, the gap between Xu You and Zhang Xuanji no longer exists, as a father, he is not dissatisfied with Xu You's literary talent, seeing that his posture is extremely low, and he is very respectful of himself, the anger in his heart has long faded.

"Get up!" Zhang Ji helped Xu You up, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the past grievances suddenly disappeared. "Mystery ...... Are you alright? ”

"She is now living in Qiantang temporarily, if Zhongcheng is not at ease, I will immediately send someone to escort her to Wu County......

Zhang Ji is very fond of this daughter, when she left home in a bad mood, her heart was painful, and she almost couldn't afford to get sick, although she missed it very much, but considering the current situation, she said: "Wu County is not safe, and it is good ......to live in Qiantang."

"Yes!"

Untied Zhang Xuanji's knot, Xu You didn't expect that there would be this unexpected joy, and secretly mobilized Gu Zhang a total of 3,000 parts that night, led by Zhang Huai, and went out of the city in batches, lurking outside the Fuzhou military camp. Before dawn, Xu You went to the barracks to see Xuanwei General Li Erniu. He and Li Erniu since the change in the north of Guli after the intersection of the relationship, meet each to tell the relationship, Li Erniu hesitated to ask about the changes in Jinling, Xu You asked him to retreat, said: "Xuanwei, An Xiu Ming killed the king and usurped the throne, the great rebellion, the lord gave me a blood edict when he was dying, and ordered me to gather the loyal and righteous people of the world to gather to fight for thieves." I expect that An Xiu will send someone to recruit Xuanwei in the near future, and give him a high-ranking official, if Xuanwei still remembers the first emperor's grace, please lead the Yangzhou Mansion soldiers to conspire, if you are greedy for wealth, please behead Xu You's head, and take it to exchange for a reward! ”

Li Erniu said angrily: "Who does Lang Jun think of me? Although I can't read, I also know that the king is loyal, if it is really the prince's rebellion, I will fight with my life, I will follow Lang Jun and kill the thief to serve the country! ”

"Good!" Xu You high-fived and said: "Xuanwei and the soldiers do not move, if a messenger comes, you can submit to it first." Wait for the Quartet to raise righteousness, the truth will be revealed, and Xuanwei will conspire with me again! ”

Although Li Erniu is rough, he is not stupid, Xu You persuaded him with righteousness and interests, so as not to use swords and soldiers in vain and lose his strength, naturally everyone was happy. Leaving the barracks, Xu You went to visit Wang Fu again, and the meeting with Wang Fu did not take too many detours, and said: "Xiao Xunqi betrayed the Lord to seek glory, and Sili Mansion was affected by him, and it has become a place of death." Since ancient times, there has been a Ming monarch who killed his father and succeeded to the throne? If you don't get the right position, how can you last long? Once you lose power, how can you deal with yourself? This is the disaster of the Yi Nine Clans, I hope to judge the situation, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, with me, I will ensure that you will be safe in the future! ”

Wang Fu was sweating profusely, couldn't speak for a long time, and finally got up and knelt down, and took Xu You as a subordinate matter, which was a scene that he couldn't think of at the beginning.

After getting rid of Li Erniu and Wang Fu, Wu County no longer has any worries. Three days later, An Xiuming's envoy also arrived at Taishou Mansion.

Over the years, the Shen family has gradually faded out of the circle of friends of Yangzhou gate valve, and the four surnames of Huiji have been wiped out due to the rebellion of the white thieves, Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang are dominant, and Yangzhou is like an iron bucket operated in Yangzhou, it can be said that the current Yangzhou is the Yangzhou of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the Yangzhou of the four surnames of Wu County, and no one can make it.

The envoy's name is Luo Xun, a descendant of the East Palace, the former prince Zhan Shicheng, and the current Sima Governor in the palace. The rank of Sima Governor in the hall is not high, only six grades, and there are twenty members. Every time there is a banquet in the court, Sima Du wears a general's uniform, serves the Son of Heaven, opens the gates of the city at night, and supervises the white tiger flag, which belongs to the absolute heart.

Luo Xun brought Gu Zhuo's corpse, the head had been sewn together with the body, and the knife marks on the neck looked terrifying, but at least the fallen leaves returned to the roots, so that the bones would not be gone. Gu Yun was dressed in white, raised flags all over the city, led more than 1,000 people, and went out of the city for ten miles, without giving the new monarch any face, which made Luo Xun quite embarrassed.

However, Luo Xun remembered An Xiuming's advice when he left Beijing, and did not dare to touch Gu's moldy head, endured embarrassment to watch the whole funeral, and then met Gu Yun in the secret room. He had no intention of greeting, and said directly: "Gu Rebellion conferred the head, it is really self-inflicted, the Lord is benevolent, and he does not want to be connected, and the holy will starts from Gu Zhuo and ends with Gu Zhuo." I also hope that Tai Shou will know his destiny and congratulate the new lord on his accession to the throne as soon as possible, and the court will not hesitate to reward him......"

Gu Yun pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "If the Lord is willing to let me be the assassin of Yangzhou, and allow me to sit in Wu County, the Gu family will be grateful!" ”
