Chapter 30: The Death of the Centenarian Rui
Liu Cong wanted to secretly summon the prince Liu Cang to return, and he should cooperate with the outside to eradicate Liu Yao. Guo Yi hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty think twice! The prince's army has not yet been reorganized, and it is really difficult to fight against King Yong, if he returns to the division in a hurry, I am afraid that it will not work...... And if the Jin people chase after them and come to Pingyang, how can it be good? Before the time comes, Your Majesty should continue to forbear......"
Liu Cong said hatefully: "How long will I have to endure it?" The prince is incompetent, so there is today's matter, I often hate the death of King Bohai, if the son is here, why is this! β
- Liu Fu, the king of Bohai, originally advised Liu Cong to be virtuous and far away in history, but was not adopted, so he died of grief; On this timeline, the combined forces of Pei Gai and Zu Ti were killed in Henan, and they died nearly a year early.
Liu Cong missed Liu Fu, and then thought of Liu Yue, and Liu Heng and others who had just been burned to death, and couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that his sons were getting fewer and fewer. He groaned for a while, and said to Guo Yi: "Now Huo Mountain collapses, the mantis is burned, Ximing Gate Mu dies by himself, all difficulties are made together, people's hearts are in turmoil, the ministers are suspicious of Yongming, and I am drunk and lying again, Yongming will inevitably not be guarded." If the crown prince takes the opportunity to lead an army to come, the city echoes it, and he will be able to kill the rebellion, if it is delayed and the opportunity is lost, I am afraid that the authority of Yongming will become stronger and stronger, and he will not be able to pull it out. β
Guo Yi hurriedly offered a plan: "Since Huo Mountain collapsed, it can make people play, please ask the prime minister to abdicate the throne, King Yong will definitely not allow it, but can ask the big driver to go to Huo Mountain." If it can be done, then His Majesty can get out of the control of King Yong, and then join forces with the crown prince, and it will not be difficult to recapture Pingyang. If it can't be done, then send one or two of King Yong's cronies out of the sacrificial mountain, fold their wings, and then make it easier. Recently, Liu Jun often bribed the ministers with money and goods, inquired about the situation in the palace, and the matter has been reported to His Majesty. β
Liu Cong thought for a while and replied: "This plan is acceptable, but how can there be a perfect plan in the world?" It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen...... No, as the Son of Heaven, I will be able to rebel against the sky! Well, thou shalt go to the one who is a good life, but do not delay it too long and make the opportunity missed! β
In fact, he secretly discussed all kinds of plots with Guo Yi and others, and wanted to clean up Liu Yao, but he was not very anxious and impatient before, because the situation was getting worse, and it was inconvenient to make a big mess again, so he could only wait for the situation to ferment naturally. However, recently, all kinds of disasters have occurred frequently, and when I was drunk and dreamed that Liu Yue came to greet me, it really scared Liu Cong - although he refused to admit it - I was afraid that my days were numbered...... Once he has three strengths and two weaknesses, Liu Cang will not be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, and maybe Liu Yao may usurp the throne! How can I continue to endure it?!
That's why he urged Guo Yi to act as soon as possible.
ββββββββββ
Sure enough, the next day, a courtier came up and said that natural disasters were frequent, and according to the old practice, the prime minister should take the blame and resign. Liu Yao naturally refused, let alone himself, even if the two Liu Jing added one Liu Yiguang, these important ministers in power were all tools for him to control the government, and none of them were willing to abandon it. The proposal was summarily dismissed.
So on the third day, someone played again, asking the Son of Heaven to go east to Huo Mountain, and perform a salute and sacrifice to pray for God's protection.
Liu Cong was drunkenly helped up to the court by Guo Yi and other ministers, and said dejectedly when he heard the words: "It is my immorality, I am guilty of heaven, and my ancestors are Banghuo Mountain, to warn me." In that case, how can I not go to the sacrifice in person? β
Liu Yao made a look, Liu Yiguang and others hurriedly came out one after another to stop Liu Cong, and said that the Son of Heaven should not be taken lightly. So there were courtiers who had never dealt with Liu Yao who came out to spray with them, and said that heaven and earth warned, but King Yong refused to abdicate the prime minister, and refused to make the Son of Heaven go to Huoshan to worship, don't you put God in your eyes at all?
"The Son of Heaven still needs to respect the Heavenly Ancestors, then the ruling is not afraid of the sky, and he is not reasonable, I am afraid that the country will fall and stop at the present!"
Liu Jun saw that the situation was not good, so he proposed to retreat: "You can make the prince go to Huoshan and sacrifice on behalf of his father." β
Someone retorted: "The prince is between Linfen and Jiangyi, guarding the country, and using the people of the Jin Dynasty to escape?" β
Liu Jun sneered: "The Jin people can't go down to Anyi yet, how can they sneak into Pingyang?" The prince lost his teacher and lost his land before, and he should have returned to apologize to the Son of Heaven, but he did not dare to return, so he used the defeated general who had no monarch and father to unify the tired army of scattered sand, can he really resist the Jin people? Since he was a fateful general, he commanded the army on his behalf, and made the prince go east to the mountain! β
When Liu Cong and Guo Yi were discussing strategies, they didn't think of Liu Cang's ...... The main reason is that Liu Cang is out and refuses to return to the capital, after all, it is a spike inserted in the middle of the union of Liu Cong and Liu Yao, so recently, in order to maintain the apparent harmony, the two deliberately refused to mention Liu Canglai, and Liu Cong was negligent. Who would have thought that Liu Yao's group was forced into a corner today, Liu Jun had no choice but to carry Liu Cang out as a shield, and what he said was reasonable, it was really not easy to refute.
Liu Cong had no choice but to retreat, waved his hand to stop the ministers from continuing to argue, and said slowly: "Since the Qing and others think that I should not leave Beijing at this time and go to Huoshan to worship, I can not kill the ministers and go to the landslide on my behalf, after all, I should not be neglected." β
At this time, most of the important positions in the DPRK and China were in the hands of Liu Yao's party, and Guo Yi planned in advance and did a certain amount of tandem work, so he discussed who to order to sacrifice to Huo Mountain, and the ministers pointed the finger at Liu Yao one after another, as well as two Liu Jing, one Liu Yiguang - without Liu Jun, he was not qualified enough.
However, although Liu Jun was not qualified to sacrifice the mountain on behalf of the Son of Heaven, as a scholar, he was qualified to participate in the discussion, so he went out again to play in unison, deliberately turning the target to Liu Cong's sons.
Liu Cong gave birth to a large number of sons, in addition to Liu Cang and Liu Ji leading the troops, Liu Fu had already died in battle, and there were still several adult Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, Liu Yi, the king of Pengcheng, and Liu Kui, the king of Gaoping. This is not only the prince, but also the king of the county, regardless of identity and blood, he is qualified to go out of Beijing to worship the mountain on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Cong had no choice but to order someone to summon the sons and say I will listen to the children's thoughts first. As a result, when the eunuch had not been there for a long time, he came back alone to report that the king of Hejian had reported illness, the king of Pengcheng was drunk and unconscious, and the king of Gaoping had just broken his leg yesterday...... All in all, none of them can go.
Liu Cong asked Liu Jing: "Are you willing to work for me?" β
The two looked at each other, but they couldn't hide from each other at allβyou just sat upright with the court, and naturally you couldn't say that you were sick or broke your leg. In addition, if the ministers discuss, they can still retreat, and the emperor directly names them, how can there be any reason to resolutely refuse to accept it?
In the end, it was agreed that Liu Jing, the Taishi and King of Ruyin, would replace the Son of Heaven and go to Huoshan in a row.
After retiring from the dynasty, Guo Yi couldn't help but complain to Liu Cong: "Your Majesty really shouldn't refer to Taishi and Dazai, they are all clay puppets, but King Beiqiu is the humerus of King Yong, so he should be chased out first." β
Liu Cong said gloomily: "I didn't expect Liu Jun's thief to be so difficult to get it, and he wanted to make my son go to Huo Mountain...... I was anxious for a while, and I was inhuman, and I regretted it deeply. He asked Guo Yi: "Is there a remedy?" β
Guo Yi didn't have an idea, so he could only say: "You must get rid of Liu Jun first, and then you can seek to seize the authority of King Yong!" β
On the other hand, Liu Yao was anxious to discuss with Liu Jun, Liu Yiguang and others, and the big guys all said that the Son of Heaven wanted to weaken the authority of the king, which was very clear, and he had to plan countermeasures as soon as possible. Liu Yao asked Liu Jun: "Is there anything that Ming Qing planned the day before yesterday?" β
What he was referring to was naturally to let Guo Yi take advantage of Liu Yao's drunkenness and the opportunity to fall asleep to push the edict of the deposed prince in front of him and induce him to sign it. In Liu Yao's mind, Liu Cang led the troops and still carried the title of the crown prince, which was the biggest hidden danger, and if it could be abolished, it might be possible to successfully seize his military power.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, Liu Cang refuses to accept the order, so as long as he is not the crown prince, Liu Yao will find an excuse to send troops to fight, and Liu Cong will not have enough reasons and excuses to block him head-on.
Liu Jun replied: "That person is secretly spreading the word, and he has not yet got a chance. Today, because of the sacrifice to the mountain, the Son of Heaven brought drunk to the court, and I am afraid that he will not be drunk for a while......"
Everyone repeatedly discussed countermeasures, but no one dared to put forward: King Yong, you just usurp the throne! Because Liu Jun himself didn't have this idea, Liu Yiguang could only be regarded as Liu Yao's ally in the strict sense, and he had no intention of replacing the Son of Heaven. Most of those who want Liu Yao to go further are martial artists such as Liu Yue and Hu Yanmo, or second-class scribes such as Yang Yi and Taiwan, who are not qualified to participate in such high-level consultations......
ββββββββββ
Hu Han's internal fighting, obscure and unknown, put it aside for the time being, and said that almost at the same time, Li Xiong, the son of Cheng Tian, who had seized Chengdu, suddenly got an urgent report on this day - "The prime minister has passed away!" β
When Li Xiong heard the report, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly: "That old man has finally returned to heaven!" Then he looked vigilantly to the left and right, but fortunately the attendants were still far away, and theoretically no one could hear his own words.
Prime Minister of Cheng Han is named Fan Changsheng, as his name suggests, he is indeed immortal, claiming to have been born in the twenty-third year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and he is already one hundred and one years old this year! At the end of last year, Chengdu City also held a grand 100th birthday for him, and Li Xiong personally toasted.
Of course, no one knows if the old man is really that old. His son Fan Ben is only in his early thirties, so it can be inferred that unless the old guy is nearly seventy years old and can still give birth, it will ...... Eighty years old, I will be in the sky.
Fan Changsheng is the leader of the Wudou Rice Dao in Shuzhong, and he is deeply supported by the natives, so after Li Xiong took over the power, he once went to the palace and pretended to be willing to respect Fan Changsheng as the king. Fan Changsheng refused to refuse, but suggested that Li Xiongjian should be respected, and Li Xiong got the other party's promise, so he became the emperor twelve years ago, and the country was named Cheng, and the year was Yanping. Immediately, he worshiped Fan Changsheng as the prime minister, and added the "Four Hours and Eight Festivals of Heaven and Earth Taishi", and sealed the Marquis of Xishan.
Fan Changsheng was in the area of Xishan (Qingcheng Mountain), widely recruited disciples, spread Taoism, and had thousands of households and tens of thousands of people, and his influence covered more than forty percent of the people in Shuzhong. Therefore, Li Xiong took Xishan as Fan Changsheng's fief, restored his subordinates, did not levy taxes or levies, as if it were an independent religious kingdom, in exchange for the support of the big landlords in Shuzhong for the Cheng Han regime.
Fan Changsheng advocated "pure heart and few desires, respect for heaven and love for the people", and suggested that Li Xiong "recuperate, rejuvenate the religion with thin endowment, and do not be reckless in military force". But no matter how great Fan Changsheng's political influence is, whether his talent is enough to assist Li Xiong, and even whether he is loyal to Li Xiong or not, the emperor is always unhappy when he is in power.
For example, when Zhuge Liang was in charge of Shu in the past, did the queen Liu Chan really have no complaints? Therefore, after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan refused to build a temple for him for twenty-four years, which must have been a pimple in his heart.
Therefore, Li Xiong not only respects Fan Changsheng, but also fears him, and often thinks: No matter how you cultivate, you are not an immortal, why do you refuse to die at such an old age? Now that he heard that Fan Changsheng had finally hung up, he couldn't help but feel the thorns on his back that could be removed in an instant.
But on the surface, he was still extremely mournful, and ordered the whole country to wear filial piety for Prime Minister Fan Cheng, and even Li Xiong himself temporarily removed the female music in the palace and changed to plain clothes. Fan Ben, the son of Fan Changsheng, was the prime minister and succeeded him as the Marquis of Xishan, but he secretly demonstrated Ben, the ministry was rented, and he still entered the Qing family, but the Jin Dynasty was recovering in Guanzhong, and Yang Hu in Hanzhong did not obey the king's orders, and the country urgently needed to expand the army - I have to select the strong and strong from your ministry to serve as the army, I hope Aiqing will not refuse.
Fan Ben not only took over as prime minister, but also inherited the position of the head of the Taoist sect of his deceased father, Wudou Mi, but he was young after all, and his prestige was not the same as Fan Changsheng's, so he did not dare to resist Li Xiong's request, so he had to bow his head helplessly.
Even though there was a secret report coming, saying that the Luoyang Jin court issued an edict and ordered Zhou to visit and Wang Dun to cut down Shu - Li Xiong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news.
In fact, only a few years after the "Yongjia Rebellion", the Jin people counterattacked, recovered Henan, and restored Guanlong. But he always felt that Hu Han had not been destroyed, Shi Le was in the east, and the Jin people couldn't take care of themselves, and even if they wanted to crusade against themselves, they would have to order Pei to order Yong and Qin's pawns to come from the north, right?
Pei Cai's march into Wudu and the suppression of Qiu Chi Di seemed to be a sign of a large-scale invasion.
But then Hu Shi 200,000 crossed to the west, Pei Gai was forced to transfer the main force to the eastern front, and when the news came, Li Xiong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After discussing this with his ministers, Prime Minister Fan Changsheng said that Yang Hu's first rat should not be allowed to live in Hanzhong, so as not to defect to the Jin people in the future.
Li Xiong knew that for the sake of missionary affairs, there were many contradictions between Fan Changsheng and Yang Hu, so he asked Yang Hu to beg him, which may not be selfless. However, Yang Hu was in a semi-secluded state in Hanzhong, and he didn't listen to the announcement, and Li Xiong also felt that it was a hidden danger. Therefore, he sent General Pingnan and his nephew Li Ban to lead Zhang Bao, Leci, Fei He and other generals to enter Zitong and Brazil to find an opportunity to enter Hanzhong. He hoped that he could remove this hidden danger before Pei should free up his hands.
But unexpectedly, there was no movement in the Jin army in Guanzhong, and suddenly the Eastern Front was alarmed. Li Xiong urgently summoned Taifu Li Xiang, Taibao Li Shi, Sikong Zhao Su, Situ Wangda, Taiwei Li Yun, Zhennan General Ren Hui and other important ministers to come to discuss, Li Shi said directly: "The Jin Dynasty is declining and revival, and Henan and Guanlong are restored, so it is not acceptable." The virtuous brother should go to the emperor, retire as the king of Chengdu, and send an envoy to Luoyang to pay tribute, so that Shu can be safe. β
