Chapter 389: King Li Cunmiao of Jin
"Alas, now that the king has just passed away, the prince is young and knowledgeable, and the war in Luzhou is tight, if it goes on like this, my Hedong is really in the autumn of life and death!"
"Isn't it? There are strong enemies outside, and the king inside unfortunately dies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf there is no general with deep enough prestige, my Hedong is in danger! ā
"In the general's opinion, the current crisis is only afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince will be difficult to control, or for the sake of safety, it is better for Li Jieshuai to temporarily take charge of the military and politics, and when His Royal Highness the Prince grows up, the power will be returned to him!"
ā¦ā¦
Listening to the discussion outside, Li Cunmiao, who was kneeling in front of Li Keyong's spirit, was sad for his father's death and worried about his fate at the same time.
Perhaps because he has always been physically strong and has only just turned fifty-one years old, Li Keyong always feels that he can live a few more years.
So in the past few years, although he has let his eldest son Li Cunqiao come out to do things, and has gradually promoted his official position to the Jinzhou Assassin History, but in general, Li Keyong's cultivation of Li Cunqiao is still a little insufficient.
At this time, although Li Keyong publicly announced in front of everyone before his death that Li Cunqiao would be the prince of Jin and the queen of Hedong Jiedu, the military and political power in Hedong was in the hands of his younger brother Li Kening.
In addition, Li Keyong has always liked to accept righteous sons, and among the so-called thirteen Taibao, except for Li Cunqiao, the others are all righteous sons.
In this era, although the righteous son is not as good as his biological son, he also has a certain inheritance right, especially when Li Cunqiao is still young and does not have much prestige in the army, these righteous sons will naturally have some ideas.
At this time, when Li Cunmiao was crying in front of his father's coffin, there were a lot of gossips in the army, and some generals secretly disagreed with Li Cunmiao and wanted to support Li Kening to take the position.
Fortunately, although Li Kening had the ambition to usurp the throne in his heart, but that day Li Keyong made Li Cunqiao the son of the world in front of everyone.
No matter how much he controls the power and how he covets that position, it is inevitable that Li Cunqiao will be appointed as the heir now, at least he can't change this for the time being.
Some reluctantly arrived at Li Keyong's coffin, Li Kening scolded Li Cunqing: "The eldest brother has passed away, and now that you are the son of the world, you should ascend to the throne as soon as possible, why are you crying here, what is it like?" ā
His words were extremely unkind, but instead of getting angry after hearing this, Li Cunmiao told Li Kening sincerely: "My nephew lost his father at a young age, and he doesn't know how to govern the country. In my nephew's opinion, my uncle is both virtuous, and the first king once handed over the big government to you, I think the major affairs of the general's mansion will be troubled by my uncle, and I will talk about it when my nephew is older. ā
At this time, Li Kening was in power, although Li Cunmiao was unwilling in his heart, he could only carefully hide his thoughts at this time, and appeased Li Kening with a good voice.
Li Kening's heart moved when he heard this, and he wanted to agree, but he turned around and saw Zhang Chengye and Li Cunzhang, who were also ministers of care, and saw that they were all frowning, obviously disagreeing with Li Cunqing's decision.
Li Kening sighed, thinking a little helplessly in his heart: "It's a pity that Zhang Chengye, Li Cunzhang and others can't be used by me, otherwise why should I be afraid of just one Li Cunxuan?" ā
His face sank, and he said loudly: "The order left by my brother before his death, entrusting his nephew to me, who dares to change people?"
Although Li Kening coveted the throne of King Jin in his heart, he also knew that it was inevitable for Li Cunmiao to succeed to the throne at this time, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately went down to Li Cunmiao to congratulate him again: "The last general Li Kening will meet the king!" ā
When the generals saw this, they also bowed to the ground and shouted, "The last general will wait to meet the king!" ā
With the support of some important ministers and generals, and under the influence of Li Keyong's deep prestige, Li Cunqiao was finally able to ascend to the throne and become the ruler of the powerful feudal town of Hedong.
"Li Kening, Li Cunhao, you wait! One day, Lone will take over the power and send you all to serve in front of the king! ā
"Zhu Wen, you and my father have been old enemies for more than 20 years, and the change in the former Shangyuan Station almost killed my father! Later, it forced my Hedong to decline so much. But now you're old, and I'm young! One day I will avenge my father! ā
"There are also Khitan Yelu Abaoji and Youzhou Liu Rengong, a shameless villain who has formed an alliance with my father, but blatantly betrays the alliance; A man who was erected by my Father, but who betrayed my Father, is an even more insidious villain! These two villains, Lone will definitely take revenge on you in the future! ā
ā¦ā¦
After just ascending to the throne of King Jin, Li Cunqiao secretly warned himself in his heart that he must be angry and strong, and complete the three hateful things that his father is most eager to complete in the future.
Of course, Li Cunmiao will not forget that there is another Wu Wang Yang Wu who is the same age as him in the south, but has been famous all over the world for many years, and has long been in charge of Huainan!
This Wu Wang Yang Wu, who is as young as him, who is also noble-born, equally ambitious, has the same heart for the world, and is also eager to make contributions on the battlefield, may be the most important competitor in his life!
"What you can do, Lone can do the same, and Lone has to do it better than you!" Li Cunqiao thought in his heart.
However, after returning to reality, what Li Cunmiao faced at this time was the distrustful eyes of the generals below, as well as his not very respectful manners, words and deeds.
Li Cunmiao knows that no matter how ambitious he is, the first thing he has to do at this time is how to really hold the power of Hedong in his hands!
"Well, Zhang Chengye and Li Cunzhang should be trustworthy, and although Li Cunhao looks like he supports me, he is only afraid that he will also be dissatisfied with my succession, and the biggest enemy should be Li Kening......" Li Cunqiao quietly analyzed the situation of the enemy and us.
At this time, he was like a general leading his troops on the march, before he really made a move, he carefully hid his intentions, ready to confuse the enemy by constantly showing weakness, and then launched a fatal blow after he was ready!
Soon, Li Cunxuan ordered Li Kening to be fully responsible for the military affairs in the Jin Dynasty's mansion to appease Li Kening's heart, and at the same time appointed Li Cunzhang as the envoy of the Hedong Military City, and the capital of the Mabu Army.
At the beginning, Li Ke used it to favor the Hu people more, and treated the sergeants extremely favorably, which certainly made the army's combat effectiveness higher, but at the same time, it also made the army's military discipline corrupt, and intrusion into the market shops happened from time to time.
After Li Cunzhang took office, he immediately arrested the most brutal and brutal among them, and imposed heavy sentences on them as an example, and in just one month, order in Jinyang City was solemn.
In this way, although the military and political affairs are still in the hands of Li Kening, the overall situation in Jinyang City has gradually been controlled by Li Cunzhang, who supports Li Cunxuan.
At the end of February, Li Kening's house.
"My brother died, and my brother succeeded to the throne, and my Shatuo people have had this tradition since ancient times! And let the uncle bow to the nephew, can the uncle bear this breath in his heart? If God grants you the position of King Jin and does not take it, it will be too late to regret it in the future! During this time, Li Keyong's adopted son, Li Cunhao, who was extremely dissatisfied with Li Cunxuan's succession, was trying his best to agitate.
Some time ago, because he had actually mastered the military and political power in Hedong, and Li Cunmiao was also very respectful and obedient to him during this time, the vigilance in Li Kening's heart had dropped a lot.
Considering that Li Cunxuan is his nephew after all, and he is the heir to King Jin clearly designated by Li Keyong, and now that the distinction between monarchs and ministers has been decided, Li Kening sternly rejected many of Li Cunzhang's previous persuasions.
However, no matter how much Li Kening refused, he couldn't resist Li Cunhao's repeated persuasion, and his wife Meng Shi was also persuading him to rebel, so Li Kening finally made up his mind and prepared to launch a mutiny and establish himself as the king.
To launch a mutiny, it is natural to first get enough information, especially the intelligence in the Jin Palace, which is crucial news.
Li Kening used to have a subordinate named Shi Jingrong, and now he is working in the Jin Palace, Li Kening immediately summoned this person, asked him to work for him, and helped him find out the news in the Jin Palace.
However, what Li Kening didn't expect was that although this Shi Jingrong ostensibly agreed to his request, he told Li Cunmiao about the news after returning to the Jin Palace.
After receiving the news, Li Cunmiao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned the prison army Zhang Chengye.
"I heard that Lone's uncle Li Kening is going to kill you and Li Cunzhang together when Lone visits him at home, and then support Li Kening as Hedong, lead Hedong's Kyushu to Zhu Wen, and send Lone and Lone's mother to Daliang together. Zhang Jianjun, you are my Hedong Supervisor Military Envoy, and you are deeply favored by the first king, what do you say about today's affairs? ā
"What? Li Kening is ready to launch a mutiny and betray the king and Mrs. Tai to Zhu Wen? This person is preparing to throw the mother and son of the king into the mouth of the tiger, and there is no reason to be safe if he is not eliminated! Zhang Chengye was shocked and angry.
Although Li Kening is now in power, in today's Jinyang, there are also many civil and military ministers who support Li Cunqing.
Li Cunqiao immediately decided to strike first at Zhang Chengye's suggestion.
On 21 February, he held a banquet in the palace to invite the generals, and many civil and military officials, including Li Kening and Li Cunhao, all arrived.
At the banquet, when everyone was drunk, with Li Cunqiao's order, the soldiers who were ambushed in the courtyard next to them suddenly launched and arrested Li Kening, Li Cunhao and their henchmen on their seats.
Li Cunmiao immediately counted the crimes of the two and beheaded them that night.
Since then, Li Cunmiao, the king of Jin, finally took charge of Hedong and officially embarked on the journey of dominating the world.
