Chapter 1328: Song Civil Strife
The next day, the prince promised to marry his daughter.
Xiong Huai immediately summoned Gu Yangjun, the envoy of Yan State, and announced that he agreed to Chu Yan's further marriage.
A few days later, when the envoys of Yan returned to Yan State, Chu State prepared 50,000 pieces of swords, halberds, longbows, 10 million arrows, and 1,000 sets of rhinoceros heavy leather armor as a wedding gift. Subsequently, these gifts as the dowry of the prince and the dowry of the queen and grandson were loaded on one hundred and fifty ships, walked through the Yingshui, entered the chasm, and returned to Yan through Wei and Zhao.
On the other hand, after Yan Guo learned of the gift of Chu, he immediately named Gongzi Xin as Wu Suijun, gave 2,000 households to the queen of Chu in advance, and prepared 10,000 war horses, 50,000 sets of leather armor, 10,000 cowhide shields, 200,000 cow sheep and horse skins, and 20 boats with shin horns.
After the fleets of Chu and Yan set off, both Zhao and Wei saw that the fleet was huge, and when they didn't dare to get on the ship to check, they thought that most of the ships were dowries, and they also guessed that there might be some strategic materials such as weapons and leather armor mixed in.
Even if the countries didn't guess everything, the marriage action of Chu and Yan, as well as the huge dowry gift fleet sent by the two countries, suddenly caused a shock in the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom.
Among them, Wei and Han thought that Chu now had the desire to meddle in foreign affairs, so the two countries sent envoys to visit Chu and were well received by the crown prince.
On the side of the Qi State, under the persuasion of the Su Dynasty, the King of Qi married the Yan State and the Chu State because the Yan State was afraid that the Qi State would attack the Yan State, so he united the Chu State to protect itself.
In addition, Chu and Yan have been friends for decades, and Chu has sent troops to attack Qi many times in order to aid Yan.
Therefore, the king of Qi did not pay too much attention to this marriage between Chu and Yan.
After all, even if there was no such marriage, the Chu State would have interfered in the affairs between Qi and Yan.
What Qi Wangdi was more concerned about was the actions of Wei and Han to visit Chu, which made Qi Wangdi feel that Wei and Han planned to betray Qi and take refuge in Chu.
For this reason, the king of Qi sent an envoy to visit Wei and Han.
Just when the relations between Qi, Chu, Wei and Han were becoming more and more tense.
On this day, Shangqiu of the Song Kingdom, who had not been to the court for four consecutive months and had not watched politics for three consecutive months, suddenly summoned Tang Ying, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
"Xiangguo, I heard that Zizhen recently intends to invite the prince of Chu to come to Song to serve as prime minister?"
Tang Ying nodded bitterly, he knew that Song Wangzhen was extremely jealous of him, the Song Xiang, so he planned to calmly depose him as the prime minister by inviting the prince of Chu to be the prime minister.
Then, when the time is ripe, Song Wangzhen will send Gongzifu back and replace him with his favorite Xiangguo.
Although he saw through Song Wangzhen's intentions, he had no way to face Song Wangzhen and Zang Zi, who was guarding Shangqiu.
Thinking about it, Tang Ying sighed: "Father Wang, recently there has been news from the Qi State that the Qi State intends to send troops to teach a lesson to a certain country around it, although everyone is saying that this time the Qi State is either a lesson for Wei or South Korea, and it may even be the Yan State."
However, my Song State is tired, and the king is worried that the Qi State will attack the east and the west and attack my Song State, so he plans to further deepen the relationship with the Chu State by inviting Gongzi Fu to come to the prime minister, so as to prepare for the Qi State. ”
When Song Wang Yan heard this, he sighed: "If Xiangguo is also deposed, there will be few henchmen and important ministers of the widow."
As the saying goes, the new monarch ascended the throne and did not change his government for three years, and now, Zizhen is on the throne as the king, and in the case that the widow is not dead, it is only less than half a year, and all the widow's henchmen and ministers are almost degraded.
This rebel is not filial! ”
When Tang Ying heard Song Wangyan scolding Song Wangzhen, he was shocked, and quickly turned his head to look around, and after seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly said: "King, be cautious, if this is heard by the king, the king will be dissatisfied." ”
"Dissatisfied? Hehe! Song Wangyan sneered: "Could it be that only the rebel son is dissatisfied, he never thought that he would target the widow's henchmen and ministers so much, and this would not cause the widow to be dissatisfied?" Well? ”
"This..." Tang Ying couldn't respond.
After a pause, Song Wangyan sighed again: "Also, in the previous battle of the coalition army besieging Shangqiu, if it wasn't for the reluctance of the rebel son to transfer the army in his hand, how could the widow be forced to abdicate by the coalition army?"
All this is the conspiracy of the rebel son, who is the rebel son watching the throne, so he has the army and respects himself, and sits back and watches the outnumbered people and Shangqiu City being besieged by the coalition army.
What if... If the rebel son is dedicated to the country, if the army in the hands of the rebel son also obeys the orders of the widow, with the rabble of Qi Yan Sanjin, the widow would have defeated the coalition army a long time ago, where would it be besieged by the coalition army for two months, and the city would be almost lost. ”
Saying that, Song Wangyan said excitedly: "That rebel son is too selfish to serve the country wholeheartedly, and the widow can't hand over the Song country to such a villain." ”
Speaking of this, Song Wangyan stared at Tang Ying with dead eyes and said: "Xiangguo, the widow wants to regain control of the government and the Song Kingdom, I wonder if Xiangguo is willing to help the widow?" ”
As soon as Tang Ying heard this, he was already dissatisfied with Song Wangzhen, and immediately responded: "The king, the minister is the king's person when he is alive, and the ghost of the king when he dies, whether he is alive or dead, the minister is willing to follow the king." ”
"Okay." When Song Wang Yan heard this, he was overjoyed.
······
Half a month later, Cao Bin, a Song general who was guarding against Wei in the north, secretly returned to Shangqiu with an army of 30,000, and then suddenly entered Shangqiu City under the response of Tang Ying and other Song Wangyan's confidants.
In the face of the mutiny of Song Xiang Tang Ying and the general Cao Bin, Song Wangzhen was killed by surprise.
Subsequently, Song Wangzhen asked the national captain Zang Zi to lead the army to fight fiercely with Cao Bin in Shangqiu City, and on the other hand, sent people to transfer troops from all over the country.
However, Zang Zi, who hastily responded to the battle, led the remnants of the collapse of the raid and the private army of the ministers of the court who were loyal to Song Wangzhen, and fought fiercely with the private army of 30,000 elites led by Cao Bin and the ministers and nobles loyal to Song Wangyan in Shangqiu City for two days, and was finally defeated.
Two days later, Zang Zi was killed in battle, and then Song Wangyan sent people to exterminate the clan, and then, Song Wangzhen and his son Prince Fu all died in the city, and more than 20 descendants of Song Wangzhen were killed by the rebel army, and only a few people fled out of the city.
Most of the other descendants of Song Wangyan died in the chaos, and most of the rest fled out of the city, and when the war stopped, Song Wangyan had dozens of descendants, and only a few people remained in Shangqiu City and never fled.
Soon after, the news that Song Wangyan was once again in charge of the Song State spread, and the entire Song Kingdom was in an uproar.
Not only within the Song Kingdom, but even other countries were all stunned.
The eighty-year-old King of Song staged another coup d'état and killed his son Song Wangzhen, who was in his sixties, in less than five months after abdicating to make way for Xian.
Why do you say that you want to launch a coup d'état again, because the old Song King launched a coup d'état more than 40 years ago to expel his brother who was over 60 years old...
In this regard, the kings of various countries and even the people of various countries all dropped their jaws after learning about the Song Kingdom.
No one could figure out what Song Wangyan thought when he staged a coup d'état.
