Chapter 801: Zhou Gong Manifests
"If you don't report it, you attack and kill each other without authorization, is this what a courtier should do, do you want to kill even me?"
Emperor Tai's eyes were swollen from crying, and there was sadness and helplessness in this cry. The Great Sui has fallen inexorably, and now the emperor has no majesty. I once thought that compared with Luo Chengyu Culture and Li Yuan, Wang Shichong was a loyal and reliable person, but now I realize that this is just a journey with Luo Cheng and others.
Wang Shichong still wears a sword at his waist and shoes on his feet.
Standing on top of the Golden Palace, I heard the emperor's accusations.
Wang Shichong knelt down with a thud.
I even shed tears.
"Your Majesty, the minister was promoted by the previous emperor, and even if he was crushed, he could not repay him. Since the emperor left Luoyang on patrol, the ministers only used weak soldiers, but they fought against hundreds of times more rebels, and many times when they were in danger of survival, they were desperate. And Yuan Wendu and others were burdened with Jun's grace, but they had bad intentions, and first wanted to recruit Li Mi to endanger the country. They hated that I did not cooperate with them, and they were afraid of suspicion and wanted to do harm. The minister is anxious to save the dead, so it is too late to play, if the minister has a bad heart and turns away from His Majesty, the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon can testify, so that my whole family will be destroyed. ”
Wang Shichong swore to the sky, and the oath was extremely vicious.
Even the young Emperor Tai almost believed it when he heard it, after all, who would make such a ruthless poisonous oath?
After Wang Shichong finished speaking, he was still sitting on the ground crying, a pure and loyal appearance, and the scene was still a little touching.
Yang Tong was too stimulated today, and he finally calmed down a little, but Wang Shichong's performance made him unable to stop his eyes again, so he also cried again.
In the Golden Palace, the monarch and the ministers wept bitterly, and then the matter passed like this.
Wang Shichong led his troops into the palace and killed the prime minister, not only was he not guilty, but he had the merit of eliminating rebellion.
In order to thank this loyal minister, Emperor Tai issued an edict.
Awarded Wang Shichong as Shangshu Ling, the governor of the military inside and outside, and awarded Pei Renji as Shangshu's left servant to assist Wang Shichong.
At the same time, he issued an edict to condemn Yuan Wendu and others as rebels, confiscated their families, and implicated many of his comrades.
Over there, Wang Shichong was able to cut off a group of dissidents at once, and from then on, the military and political power of Luoyang was in his hands.
Wang Shichong immediately appointed his eldest brother Wang Shiyun as the internal history order, and appointed several younger brothers as generals to take charge of the Luoyang army.
He also divided the government affairs into ten heads, and appointed his own cronies to preside over them.
He also encircled Pei Renji and Wei Xuan, two very influential people in the military circles, awarded Prince Wei Xuan and Taishi, and awarded Pei Renji as the left servant of Shangshu, but the positions awarded by the two were respectful and had no real power.
After doing this, Wang Shichong asked the emperor to issue an edict and characterize Li Mi as a traitor.
After thoroughly mastering the power of the Luoyang Imperial Court, Wang Shichong also gritted his teeth, opened the emperor's treasury, took out all the property of the Son of Heaven's inner treasury, rewarded the soldiers, and ordered to rest the equipment, strengthen training, and try to fight a turnaround battle with Li Mi.
Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, Jin State Duke Pei Renji suggested to Wang Shichong, "Although there is still some food in Hanjiacang City now, it is also sitting on the empty mountain, and now the periphery of Luoyang is basically lost, and the rest has become an enclave, if we can't defeat Li Mi, then we will soon be defeated, Pei is not talented, knows a little about military affairs, and is willing to lead an army to be the vanguard of Linggong and recapture Luokoucang for Linggong." ”
Wang Shichong is also very clear about the details of his family now.
He didn't know how many times he had been defeated at the hands of Li Mi, but he had to rely on a ruthless force and the iron support of the Jianghuai soldiers to survive until now.
But the fact is that as Pei Renji said, there is not much food.
Now that the grain in Cangcheng is only for the army, the people have begun to eat human flesh, and if this continues, it is estimated that the chance of turning over is even slimmer.
But now if you want to turn over the battle, there are two problems, one is to lose the battle for a long time, and then be surrounded under Luoyang City, and now the morale of the Luoyang soldiers is very low.
Second, there are fewer and fewer people in Luoyang City, and relying on such a Luoyang City, even the source of troops has become a problem.
If it was an ordinary person, in Wang Shichong's situation, I was afraid that he would have planned to surrender a long time ago, such as Yuan Wendu and others.
But Lao Wang refused to admit defeat, he still had an eastern capital in his hand, and there were tens of thousands of brothers at the bottom, and he thought that he still had a chance to turn over.
Even if the chances are slim, it's worth fighting.
Thinking that his grandfather was just a Hu merchant in the Western Regions, and he went bankrupt in the Western Regions, so he took the risk of following the caravan to the Central Plains, and he really made a fortune.
It's a pity that he died early, and his grandmother took his father to remarry an official, so she gave him another chance.
Along the way, to be able to stand in this position is the efforts of three generations of the Wang family.
Wang Shichong can't just waste this opportunity.
"What Pei Fu said makes sense, we can't be trapped any longer, we have to take the initiative to attack, but I have decided that I will personally lead the troops to destroy Li Mi."
As for how to kill it, Wang Shichong didn't tell Pei Renji.
But a few days later, when the soldiers outside the eastern capital were reviewing and drilling, a soldier suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth.
Everyone thought it was an illness, but when the comrades next to him wanted to help him up, he stood up by himself.
But he kept rolling his eyes, and he said very godly words in front of countless soldiers in the Eastern Capital.
"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Zhou Justice Manifests, Wait for the Whole Army, and fight the thieves together!"
The ancients were still relatively superstitious, and they liked to ask God and Buddha for many unknown things.
This bizarre scene still surprised many people.
"Who is this?"
Wang Shichong asked.
Someone immediately reported that this was a step lance player named Zhang Yongtong.
"King Zheng, could it be that this person is possessed by the Duke of Zhou, and he wants to instruct me and others?" A general's enlightened way.
At this time, that Zhang Yongtong suddenly regained his consciousness and asked him what happened just now, but he didn't know anything.
A few days later, when it was time for another exercise, Zhang Yongtong went crazy again, rolled his eyes again and said exactly the same thing as last time, all of which were to let them go out to fight and destroy the thieves.
In the back, every other day, Zhang Yongtong will be possessed by a great god.
This mysterious incident soon spread throughout Luoyang City, and countless people were talking about this matter, all discussing this Zhang Yongtong, and many people were thinking about the words that the person who was called Zhou Gong when he was possessed.
At this time, Shangshu Ling Wang Shichong, who had been crowned King Zheng by the emperor, stood up, invited the most famous warlocks in Luoyang, and then asked the warlocks to interpret this strange thing in front of the whole army.
So, witnessed by tens of thousands of soldiers, the famous great warcist in Luoyang ascended the altar to worship the sky.
After the ceremony, the sorcerer kneels on the altar and waits for instructions from above.
After a long time, just as the soldiers were waiting impatiently, the warlock actually began to roll his eyes.
