Chapter 84: Wu Cao ascends the throne
Under the instructions of Dafeng Wu Cao, Wu Chenghe, the left minister of Wenchang, was looking for someone who could be on the table and raise his arms.
After a large number of detectives and secret visits, I finally interviewed such a person, he was Fu Youyi, a native of Ji County, Weizhou, who was 61 years old at the time, served as the chief secretary of the palace, and was an eight-grade official, wearing a cyan official uniform.
Wu Chengsi met with Fu Youyi, the chief bookkeeper of the palace, and the two had a cordial and friendly conversation.
Subsequently, Wu Chengsi promoted Fu Youyi to the imperial history of the political platform from the six pins, and Fu Youyi changed into a turquoise official uniform.
Wu Chengsi sent people to post announcements in the eight passes around Luoyang, including Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, and Mengjin Pass, asking people from all over the country to gather at Luoyang Suzheng Station on time, and follow Fu Youyi to carry out cultural and entertainment activities for the romantic trip to Luoyang in the golden autumn, for food, management and housing, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan!
As soon as the preferential treatment announcement came out, more than 900 people soon gathered from all over the country to Zuosu Zhengtai Fu Youyi.
Fu Youyi delivered a passionate speech to the people of Guanzhong with a loud voice, mainly saying: "When the country is rich and the people are safe, the government is harmonious, the cranes are dancing, and the peacocks are flying!" In the past, it was a flying dragon in the sky, and today it is a phoenix! The Japanese official of the Ming Dynasty led the fathers and villagers to go to the hundred birds and the phoenix, and respectfully invited the phoenix to sing the mountain and the phoenix to fly for nine days! How's it going? ”
The people of Guanzhong applauded in unison and shouted: "Feng Ming Qi Mountain, Feng Fei Nine Days!" Feng Ming Qi Mountain, Feng Fei Nine Days! ”
On September 3rd, in the golden autumn season, the autumn breeze was cool, Fu Youyi led more than 900 people from Guanzhong to come to the Taichu Palace in front of the Tianmen Gate to praise Fu Rui who appeared in various places, and respectfully invited the Holy Mother of God to ascend the throne and call the emperor, change the name of the country to Zhou, and give the emperor Li Dan the surname Wu!
More than 900 people in Guanzhong chanted the slogan in unison: "Our Lady is coming, Yongchang Emperor!" Our Lady is coming, Yongchang Emperor! Fan Nei's attendant Zetianmen came out of the gate and received the persuasion seal from Fu Youyi.
Wu Cao reviewed the seal of persuasion in the Vientiane Shrine, and did not immediately agree to be the emperor, but he promoted Fu Youyi to the middle of the matter, from a sixth-rank official to a fifth-rank official, and changed from a turquoise official uniform to a crimson official uniform!
After Fu Youyi changed into a crimson official uniform, he was very excited, and immediately announced that he would distribute a basic salary of 1,000 copper coins to the people in Guanzhong who followed him.
Each person is required to go back and mobilize ten people to participate in the petition team to complete the task target, and each person who completes the target will be given another 2,000 copper coins as a monthly salary. Those who exceed the task will be rewarded according to the number of petitions launched, and the more people there are, the more rewards there will be, and there is no upper limit!
The people of Guanzhong cheered and dispersed, and after returning home, they mobilized relatives and friends to petition and receive the reward.
The members of the petition group walked through the streets and alleys of Luoyang's cities, suburbs, and villages, and when they saw a person, it was like seeing a tael of gold, and they immediately stopped people to lobby for the petition, and they were not allowed to leave if they did not join the petition team!
A spark can start a prairie fire, and a large-scale petition campaign unprecedented in history was quickly launched.
Vena Huicheng of Fuxian Temple was translating the scriptures in the translation field, when two people in ragged clothes and unkempt hair broke in and shouted, "Old bald donkey, march to petition for understanding!" ”
Hui Cheng clasped his hands together and said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the two donors are disrespectful, sinful, sinful!" The old man has something to do, so I won't accompany him! ”
But the two of them in ragged clothes couldn't help but say, they set up Hui Cheng from the left and right, and said, "I'll wipe it, I won't give it any strength!" Da wet, if you dare not participate in the parade and petition, I will send you to the gate of the festival immediately to taste the taste of dead pig sorrow! ”
Hui Cheng shrank his neck in fright and said, "There is still this kind of operation? The two heroes spare their lives, the old man is most afraid of the death of the pig, and he is at the mercy of the two! ”
The two people in ragged clothes took Huicheng to visit Fuxian Temple, and ordered Huicheng Dade to call on all the monks and nuns of the temple to participate in the parade and petition activities.
Fu Youyi was very happy to see that the two people in ragged clothes came to petition with a large group of monks and nuns and joined his petition team, and gave a bounty to the two of them on the spot. The two of them were also overjoyed and laughed out loud!
Hui Cheng sneered on the side: "It turned out to be for this!" Boss, I made a carriage in half a year after setting up a stall, and I will talk nonsense if the money is easy to find? ”
While counting a lot of copper coins, the two of them were surprised: "Why didn't Da Wet say it earlier?" Earlier, the two of us were poor and mixed up with the big wet! ”
Hui Cheng Dade laughed and said: "The beings in the desire realm are to spend their lives in vain in order to satisfy the five desires of sex, food, sleep, wealth, and fame, and they are led by the nose like cattle!" ”
Luoyang's large-scale procession and petition activities were in full swing, and hundreds of officials in the court, eunuchs in the field, people near and far, Siyi chiefs, monks, nuns, and Taoist priests were all mobilized, pouring into the divine capital and the palace gate like a tide.
In just a few days, the number of petitioners has grown by 70 times, bringing together more than 60,000 people, all of whom have pleaded together to the throne of Our Lady of God and the Emperor as a female emperor, and asked her to fly like a phoenix to the plane tree!
The emperor Li Dan, who lived in the side hall, was not decided, and when he saw this situation, he had to take advantage of the situation, and he gave up the throne on the table Zen, and asked the Emperor of Our Lady of God to ascend the throne and call himself the emperor, and gave himself the surname Wu!
Our Lady of God and Emperor modestly excused herself, saying that she was just like the goddess Xihe, driving a cloud chariot with the sun, traveling through the Tianhe ferry, watching the changes of colorful clouds, and then returning home.
Seeing that the emperor had made concessions, the civil and military officials also hurriedly followed Li Dan to petition repeatedly.
There is also a civil official who reported to Fu Rui and said: "There is a phoenix flying from the top of the Vientiane Shrine, flying to Shangyang Palace, perching on the plane tree on the left platform for a long time before flying to the southeast!" ”
"This morning, tens of thousands of cardinals gathered in the sky above the Vientiane Shrine, covering the sky and the sun, flying around, obviously ten thousand birds and phoenixes!"
Wu Cao saw that Fu Rui was auspicious, and his subjects supported him, if it was really the will of heaven that could not be violated!
On September 7, after repeated resignations, Wu Cao finally expressed his acceptance of the request of the civil and military officials, and Shuntian responded to the throne and became emperor. The civil and military officials immediately began to prepare the ceremonial supplies for the enthronement ceremony.
On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, it is a good day for the sky to be high and refreshing, suitable for climbing high and looking far, Wu Cao broke through the layers of blockades, and finally ushered in the moment of his enthronement!
Wu Cao held a grand enthronement ceremony under the premise of the support of all the people!
First held a sacrificial ceremony in the Vientiane Shrine, Wu Cao wore a crown, a three-foot long waist, held a two-inch Zhengui, and sacrificed to the Haotian God Seat, and then sacrificed to the Emperor Zhou Zhongxiao and the Empress Dowager Zhou Zhongxiao, and finally sacrificed to the Wufang Emperor.
After the feast, Wu Cao walked out of the Ming Hall, and just stepped down the first step, when he suddenly saw a mirage in the distance, and the image of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor appeared in the smoke.
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sat on the guide car, holding a golden whip in his hand, and walked against the wind. The colorful flags of the teams on both sides fluttered, with the prime minister standing on the left and the general Li Mu on the right.
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor said: "Ah Wu is slow, if you want to become the first female emperor in Chinese history, you must pass the test of me!" If you can't pass this level, please ask Ah Wu to retreat to the harem and save face for the men of the world! ”
Wu Cao pulled out the Lulu Yugu sword, pointed at the sky and said: "Please see whose family is in the world of today's domain!" No one can stop me from ascending the throne and becoming emperor, so please make a move! ”
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's golden whip was raised, gongs and drums were beaten after the wind, Li Mu waved the battle flag, and Chi You, who had wings on his back and a cow's head and a human body, fell from the sky. Chi You held a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, and shouted: "I am Chi You, the god of war who is brave and brave, who dares to fight me to the death?" ”
Wu Cao held his breath and condensed, his qi pierced the tip of the sword, and sent out a string of red beaded fireballs, shooting at Chi You, and then shouted loudly: "I know that General Chi You is invulnerable to swords and guns, and he will not die, please catch my Lianzhu fireball!" ”
Seeing the fireball coming, Chiyou hurriedly used his shield to resist, but the red beaded fireball did not bounce off the shield or penetrate the shield, but slid against the shield, bypassing the shield and shooting into Chiyou's eyes.
Chi You fought all his life, but he never thought of such a move, and he was too late to guard in a hurry, and was shot in the eye by a red beaded fireball. Chiyou screamed, threw down his shield and axe, covered his eyes with his hands, and fled in embarrassment.
Wu Cao laughed. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was furious, brandished a golden whip, and sent a group of tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals to fight. As soon as Wu Cao stepped down the second step of the steps, a group of tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals appeared on the square behind the Baiyu Bridge, staring at each other, roaring wolves, opening their teeth and dancing claws, very terrifying!
The palm fan palace maids behind Wu Cao, Chun Tao and Xia He, screamed in fright and retreated into the palace to hide. The five guards in the yamen pulled out their swords and blocked them in front of Wu Cao.
Wu Cao shouted: "I am here, don't panic!" "Spread your arms, soar into the air, and then roll out with your palms crossed in front of your chest, sending out a powerful purple matrix fireball!
The purple matrix fireball enveloped the entire group of tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals, and tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals were spreading their teeth and claws, some standing more than a foot high, and some grasping the ground, their eyes showing fierce light.
The beasts were all attacked by the purple matrix fireballs, and the fur on their bodies was instantly scorched and pierced through a hole. Tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals fell to the ground one after another, not trying to figure out how they died.
The five guards in Yanai were stunned and shouted long live to pay tribute to Wu Cao. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was so angry that he blew his beard, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and the corpses of tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals on the ground disappeared.
Wu Cao walked down the steps, and a black mist suddenly rose on the pond, the black fog became bigger and thicker, and it continued to spread around, enveloping the four fields, and even the white jade bridge in front of him could not be seen clearly.
The five guards in the yai were all panicked, holding hands and surrounding Wu Cao. At this time, the strange screams of ghosts and ghosts came from all directions. People looked around in panic, but couldn't see anything.
From time to time, a mountain monster, a tree spirit, and a water monster came out of the black fog, which was terrifying. If they are not quickly eliminated, these monsters will wait for an opportunity to burrow into people's bodies, causing people to suffer from all kinds of strange diseases and even plague outbreaks.
Wu Cao sent the left and right guards to the Vientiane Shrine to take out the horns and blow the trumpet, he took a deep breath, opened his arms, and rose into the air again, shouting: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, my Buddha is compassionate, the wisdom is vast, and the mana is boundless!" ”
After speaking, his palms swept across his chest, flicked off his sleeves, and collected the black mist in his sleeves. At this time, the horn of the bull horn sounded, resounding in the sky, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, scaring away all the ghosts and ghosts.
The black fog dissipated, and it was clear. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor recited a spell, invited the wind to blow, invited the rain master to rain, and planned to blow down the Vientiane Divine Palace and flood Luoyang City.
For a time, the wind and rain were striking, the sand and rocks were flying, the lightning and thunder were roaring, the big trees on both sides of the street were blown from side to side, the umbrellas of pedestrians were blown over, the carriages were blown away, and the tables and stools set up by the stalls were also blown horizontally.
Heavy rain poured down, and soon filled Luoshui, which continued to flood both banks. The golden phoenix on the top of the Vientiane Shrine sways from side to side, and there is a danger of blowing.
Wu Cao also recited a spell and invited the drought goddess Lu in green clothes to help. The female stepped on the hot wheels and galloped in, holding a fire whip in her hand and wearing a crown of sunshine.
The female squire threw out a fire whip and struck at the rain master, who was invincible and fled in defeat, and the shower stopped. The female leader threw out the Hot Wheels and struck at Feng Bo, who was invincible, and fled in defeat, and the wind stopped.
The clouds are gone, and the sun is shining! Seeing that the weather was rainy for a while and sunny for a while, the subjects of Wanfang all showed confused expressions. They don't know that the gods are fighting, and the heavens are fighting hotly!
After the battle in the sky was over, a black dragon taller than the Vientiane Divine Palace suddenly stretched out from the Luo Water on the ground, and a strong column of water erupted from its mouth, wanting to destroy the Vientiane Divine Palace and the Heavenly Gate.
The petitioners saw the real dragon appear for the first time, and their eyes were opened, and they all pointed and said, "Dragon, dragon, black dragon!" Look, it's really a dragon, what a tall dragon! ”
Wu Cao was not in the mood to praise the black dragon, she shouted: "Phantom Fairy Wind! "Spun sharply and soared high into the air, then flew towards the black dragon.
Wu Cao spun rapidly around the black dragon, wrapped and tied the black dragon with a silk silk belt, and then shouted loudly, pulled the black dragon out of the water, and threw it under the mountain!
The muscles of the dehydrated black dragon quickly rotted and turned into black mud, and the scales on its body fell off one after another, turning into fertilizer, and a long row of peach trees quickly grew in the soil, forming a peach forest!
Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor saw that Wu Cao had cracked his various tricks, and he admired it very much, and said goodbye! The prime minister used the strange door Dunjia technique to cover the retreat of the army. The mirage suddenly disappeared, and peace returned to the heavens!
Wu Cao walked across the Baiyu Bridge, walked out of the Yongtai Gate, rode on the BMW standing in front of the door, jumped on the horse, rushed through the wide square in front of the door, and rushed to the towering Taichu Palace Zetianmen.
The robe belt of the crown flew with the wind, and Wu Cao rode on the high-headed horse with great vigor to unfold the holy decree of colorful auspicious clouds and brocade, and issued an edict to the subjects of the world, announcing the enthronement of the emperor, amnesty for the world, changing the Tang Dynasty to Zhou, changing the Yuan Heavenly Grant, and giving seven days!
Wu Cao read loudly: "Yue and I are in the Great Zhou, and I am on the Yuan Life." Mend the heavens and establish the pole, and re-light and accumulate the saints. Jia Rui has been repeated, and the special auspiciousness is repeated. Credits to Canghao, promotion to the table of celebration. ”
More than 60,000 civil and military officials and petitioners crowded the square in front of Zetianmen and Huangcheng Street, and lined up outside Duanmen and Dingdingmen.
The fiery red morning sun shone on Wu Cao's crown, emitting a colorful light, and the subjects of all directions bowed down together, shouting: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, long live, long live!" ”
The loud voice of the female emperor Wu Cao floated above the water of Yongchang Luoshui, she smiled and curled the corners of her mouth to scan the vast land and the subjects of Wanfang who fell under her pomegranate skirt, her heart was full of pride and pride!
History remembers this day when a great woman conquered the most powerful country in the world at that time!
Yongchang, Zaichu, and Heavenly Grant, this is another three changes in a year after the heir saint, civilization, and light house years, and the female history, Sheren, left and right history, left and right mend que, etc., are all anxious to scratch their brains, shouting: "What is the magical effect of the change of words?" keeps changing names, yuan, and words, this female emperor is so annoying! ”
On September 12, hundreds of civil and military officials jointly signed a table, taking two characters from the Holy Mother of God and Emperor, and giving the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Cao the honorific title of "Holy Spirit Emperor".
The Holy Spirit Emperor Wu Cao demoted Li Dan as the emperor's heir, gave him the surname Wu, changed his name to Lun, and demoted Li Chengqi to the emperor's grandson. Later, Li Tang was successively given the surname Wu, which also created a precedent for the son to follow the mother's surname.
On the thirteenth, the seven temples of the Liwu clan were in the divine capital, and King Wen of Zhou was posthumously honored as the ancestor Emperor Wen, the young son of King Ping of Zhou, Ji Wu, the young son of King Zhou Ping, was Emperor Ruizu Kang, and Emperor Zhou Zhongxiao was Emperor Taizu Xiaoming Gao, and he was called the queen.
Li Wu Chenghei is the king of Wei, Wu Sansi is the king of Liang, and Wu Youning is the king of Jianchang!
The grandsons of the elder brother of the warrior Wu Yougui, Wu Chonggui, Wu Zaide, Wu Youji, Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong, Wu Youyi, Wu Youwang, Wu Youxu, and Wu Youzhi are the kings of the county, and the aunts are the eldest princesses.
He also rewarded the meritorious deeds of the martial arts and Zhou heroes, took the history of the school as the acceptance, the Zong Qin guest inspected the history of the school, and Fu Youyi was the Luantai waiter and Pingzhang. Fu Youyi took off his crimson official uniform again and put on a purple official uniform, indicating that he had become a popular character!
Fu Youyi changed his official uniform of cyan, green, crimson and purple successively throughout the year, so people jokingly called him "Four Seasons Eunuch" at that time.
Wu Cao promoted various reforms step by step, and then changed the prefecture into a county.
But this time she was a little inconsiderate, Shangguan Wan'er said: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, Your Majesty has just started the revolution but wants to abolish the state (Zhou), which is not auspicious!" Wu Cao suddenly realized and hurriedly chased after him.
On October 14, Wu Cao changed his hometown, Wenshui County, Bingzhou, to Wuxing County, and the rank of Wuxing County Order was raised to the same level as that of Chang'an County, and the children and grandchildren of Wuxing County were exempted from taxes and forced labor for generations.
Not only that, Wu Cao later simply exempted the people surnamed Wu from military service in the world.
The unprecedented female emperor's accession to the throne in history, as well as the astonishing news of exempting the world's martial artists, exploded in the sky like spring thunder and spread all over the ****!
Liu Congju, the wife of Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, who was unjustly killed by Emperor Taizong, is still alive, and the old lady remembered the grievances of 42 years ago, and couldn't help but cry and cry.
In the spring of the second year of Tianzhu, Li Junxian's daughter Li Yulan, under the constant urging of Liu Congju, rushed to Luoyang by stagecoach to submit a letter to Tongkuang to avenge her grievances, and was cordially received by Wu Cao, the Holy Spirit Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Yulan cried to His Majesty the Honored Emperor: "E's father, Li Junxian, once served as General Zuo Wuwei and guarded Li Shimin's safety in the palace. ”
"Unexpectedly, because of a proverb 'After Tang III, the heroine Wuwang has the world' and was tragically killed, and it has been unjust for 42 years! Sitting above the clouds today is His Majesty the Holy Spirit Emperor of the Great Zhou, who is the heroine Martial King, the truth has been revealed to the world! ”
Wu Cao smiled and listened to Li Yulan's cry, and comforted Li Yulan and said: "The past cannot be admonished, and the coming can still be chased." I have already notified Fengge and Luantai that they will issue an edict on the same day to restore the official title of General Zuo Wuwei who ordered Li Junxian to be honored, and to change the burial with a ceremony! I also want to seal Liu Congju as the king of Wu'an County! ”
"As a descendant of Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, you will enjoy the subsidies and shade of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
"To tell you from the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank Ling Zun for my death! If it weren't for Ling Zun's nickname Wu Niangzi, I would have died at the hands of Taizong sooner or later, this is really God's blessing, and Heaven's will will return! ”
After Li Yulan heard this, she was so excited that she nodded her head again and again, and she was very moved by Wu Cao's arrangement to deal with the aftermath, and she couldn't thank you again and again!
Wu Cao left Li Yulan in the palace to enjoy a state banquet for one day, and gave her state subsidies and travel expenses, and sent carriages and guards to send her back to her hometown.
