Half a month later, the local forces were sent to Jianye City, although the Song State experienced a huge civil strife this time, but the result was unexpectedly the same as the Qi State, the war only broke out in a small area, and the impact on the whole country was very small.

The court of the Song Kingdom was originally controlled by the five great families, and it was not until the last few years of Xiao Daocheng's reign that he won the four families of Chen, Tian, Li, and Cui. After Xiao Yan succeeded to the throne, he still continued his father's policy, promoted a large number of children from poor families, and tried his best to suppress the big families, as long as there was a mistake, he would be severely punished.

All of a sudden, those big families who were used to being pampered could not stand this, and their resentment towards the Xiao family deepened day by day.

Finally, Deng Yuanjue came back, and they saw new hope, and as soon as Deng Wenhao came forward, he didn't even hesitate, and promised to be loyal.

At this time in the court, Deng Yuanjue, who had just recovered from a serious illness, held a testament in his hand and said to the ministers: "I led the troops back to Jianye this time, just to kill Yuan Chengce and Gao Yi, the two traitors, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to know that he had made a big mistake and died." In front of him*, General Zhou found a testament, come, General Zhou, you read it to everyone. ”

Zhou Yunjing took the edict and read it in public, the content of the edict was very long, but it was nothing more than Xiao Yan saying that since he succeeded to the throne, he favored the traitors and allowed them to harm the loyal and good and ignore it. Later, the general raised the banner of righteousness and cleared the king's side, and he suddenly woke up, but the big mistake had been made and could not be reversed, and he had no shame to see the general and the people of the world again, so he had to seek atonement. After his death, the throne was inherited by the general Deng Yuanjue.

After hearing this, the ministers all looked at each other, they were all human spirits, and naturally guessed that this edict was forged by Deng Yuanjue, but who dared to raise objections? What's more, they already resented the Xiao family.

Deng Yuanjue saw that the ministers did not speak, and said: "Although Your Majesty has left an edict, the Deng family has been loyal and good for generations, and has no two hearts for the Great Song Dynasty, so how can you accept Zen concessions?" So I propose to support the succession of Xiao Yin, the king of Liang, who is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is logical for him to succeed to the throne. ”

Before the ministers could speak, Xiao Yin hurriedly knelt down and excused himself: "By all means, since Your Majesty has a posthumous edict located in the general, then ask the general to succeed to the throne, how dare we disobey." ”

Chen Yuanming, the eldest son of former Prime Minister Chen Guoqing, and Tian Tengjie, the eldest grandson of former Taiwei Tian Yulong, stepped forward one after another to echo: "What King Liang said is reasonable, if Your Majesty does not leave an edict, then we will naturally look forward to the general." Now His Majesty has left an edict, and he also asks the general to serve the edict. ”

When the ministers saw that someone was starting, most of them also knelt on the ground and persuaded Deng Yuanjue to succeed to the throne.

Deng Yuanjue's forgery of the edict was just to test the attitude of the ministers, and although everyone present had no opinion, it did not mean that the people of the world had no opinion. The ministers favored themselves because they were from a family, but the people were all from poor families, and it would take some time to subdue them, so now was not the time for him to succeed to the throne.

"Are you all going to rebel? The first emperor and His Majesty have been waiting for you, why do you want to betray the royal family? I have made up my mind, don't talk about it anymore, and now I will announce it to the world, and in three days, King Qi will succeed to the throne, and if there are any more arguers, they will be punished for the crime of treason. Deng Yuanjue deliberately pretended to be angry.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't figure out what Deng Yuanjue was thinking, and they didn't dare to insist anymore, so they had to agree.

Three days later, Xiao Yin, the king of Liang, successfully ascended the throne with the support of the masses. After that, he also made a large number of ministers, and crowned the king of Wei and the general Deng Yuanjue as the prince, Wu Teng as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the marquis of Wu'an. Deng Wenying was a hussar general and a brave marquis. Zhou Yunjing is the general of the Fu army, Deng Wenhao is the general of the Shangjun, Lei Zhengming is the general of the Zhenjun, Deng Wenjie is the general of Nanzhong, Wu Shuang is the general of Zhengdong, and the above people are all marquises.

The remaining Chen Yuanming was named Sikong, Tian Tengjie was named Situ, and Wu Shiqi, who was far away in Shouchun, was also named Dasi Nong and was in charge of the country's finances. As for the positions of prime minister and lieutenant, they are temporarily vacant. At the same time, Xiao Yin also ordered the big Sima Yanchi to return to Jianye to report on his work.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qi has just changed its new emperor, Jiang Huan Chu is holding a funeral for Jiang Wushuang and Jiang Huanyan in Beijing, and I implore Your Majesty to send an envoy to offer condolences." After Deng Yuanjue succeeded to the throne of the new emperor, the first thing he mentioned was to send an envoy to the Qi State.

Now that the world is divided into three parts, the Song and Qi countries have just experienced civil strife and need time to recover. And the Tianluo Sect has just taken Qin and Yan, and it also takes time to digest.

He knew that Shi Luosheng and Jiang Huan Chu were good friends, and if he didn't handle the relationship well, it would be easy for the two countries to join forces to deal with him, so the first thing the new emperor did after ascending the throne was to repair the relationship with Qi State.

Zhou Yunjing asked a little puzzled: "Send someone to the Qi country to mourn?" Our two countries are still at war, will it be unfortunate to send people there? ”

Deng Yuanjue shook his head: "No, the two countries are at war, and we still don't kill them, not to mention that we still send people over to condole." ”

"With the relationship between Jiang Huan Chu and the Tianluo Sect, even if we send someone, it won't have a practical effect." Deng Wenhao didn't understand his intentions either.

Deng Yuanjue smiled: "Jiang Huan Chu may be hostile to us because of his personal feelings, but Tian Wuji and Song Chong will not, in the name of helping Jiang Huan Chu make trouble, the Tianluo Sect not only occupied the entire Yan Land, but also occupied their Beihai, what do you say they will think in their hearts?" ”

"They may be able to accept the occupation of Yandi, but the Beihai Port is related to the trade between Qi and overseas, and Tian Wuji's character will definitely find the Tianluo Sect to come back, and then they will have a conflict because of this, and we will have a chance." Wu Teng nodded, Tian Wuji has always been his imaginary enemy, and he also has a special study of his character.

"That's right, I just want to take this opportunity to test Tian Wuji and see if our two countries can unite to deal with the Tianluo Sect." Deng Yuanjue said what he thought.

"Then I will ask for an order to send an envoy to the country of Qi." Wu Teng took a step forward, he is now the second person in the Song State after Deng Yuanjue, if he is the envoy, it can also show Deng Yuanjue's sincerity.

"Of course, it is best for General Wu to be willing to go, but you still have another important task, Yan Chixing took advantage of our Qingjun's side to sneak attack the rear. Now that Jiangdu is in danger, you have to rush back to the town as soon as possible, and I plan to hand over the matter of the envoy to the Qi State to Wenhao. "Deng Wenhao is Deng Yuanjue's second son, and he is even better than Wu Teng in terms of identity.

When Yan Chixing took Yuzhou by Zhou Yunjing, he also took Jining. When Zhou Yunjingbing sent Jianye, he also went to the Jiangdu City. If it weren't for Deng Wenying's attack on Yanzhou in the back, causing Yan Chixing to leave half of his men and horses to garrison, Jiangdu would now be afraid that he would have captured it.

Jiangdu, as the accompanying capital of Qianchu, once it falls into the hands of Yan Chixing, with his ability and Yanzhou as the backing, then Yan Chixing may become the fourth largest force on the mainland. When Xiao Yuancheng, the founding emperor of the Song State, became independent from the Chu State, the situation was similar to the current situation.

Deng Wenhao will not shirk after hearing this: "Father rest assured, the child will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Deng Yuanjue nodded, turned to Xiao Yin and said, "Your Majesty, we have finished discussing, please give an order." After speaking, he stepped forward, picked up the jade seal, and handed it to Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly asked the eunuchs around him to prepare an edict and stamp it with a big seal.

The other ministers in the audience saw this scene clearly, and now they can be sure that the reason why Deng Yuanjue resigned last time was not because he didn't want to be the emperor, but because he felt that the time was wrong. The ministers secretly decided that once the time was ripe, they must be the first to persuade them.

In Shangjing, Jiang Wushuang and Jiang Huanyan's funerals can be described as huge. Tianluo Sect and New Chu State both sent envoys, Tianluo Sect is the number two person Liu Zixuan, and New Chu State also sent the number two person Xiang Zhuang.

What everyone didn't expect was that the Song Kingdom, which had just experienced civil strife, also sent an envoy to come to mourn, and the person who came was Deng Wenhao, the second son of Deng Yuanjue.

The person who came was a guest, Jiang Huan Song naturally couldn't embarrass the other party, Deng Wenhao said a few words, and looked at Liu Zixuan intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't feel surprised at all.

On the night of the funeral, Jiang Wan'er sent to find Liu Zixuan: "I just received the news that Deng Wenhao went to General Tian's mansion. ”

Liu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly reacted: "You mean that Deng Wenhao did not come to Beijing this time to mourn, but to deal with our Tianluo Sect?" ”

Jiang Wan'er nodded with satisfaction, and finally the second master of the Tianluo Sect began to think independently.

"Although the two armies are fighting each other, if it is just for condolences, is it necessary for General Deng to let his son come over and take risks? I think he must have something else in mind. Jiang Wan'er actually knew it, she knew that Tian Wuji, Song Chong and others were polite to her and Liu Zixuan on the surface, but in fact, they were dissatisfied with the Tianluo Sect's occupation of the entire Yan Land and Beihai.

Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "General Tian already has an opinion on us, Deng Wenhao will definitely use Yandi and Beihai to provoke, what should we do now?" We can't return these two places to them, so we might as well withdraw from the mainland directly. ”

"You send a message back to tell Brother Shi about the situation here, and always keep an eye on Deng Wenhao's whereabouts, I will go into the palace to see the fourth brother, hoping that he will not be persuaded by General Tian." Ten years ago, Jiang Huan Chu would definitely be in a dilemma between the two, but he has also figured it out in the past ten years, although he is the princess of Qi Kingdom, he is also the wife of the sect leader of the Tianluo Sect, and he should act in accordance with the Tianluo Sect.

Before Jiang Wan'er set off, she went to the Tianqi Sect to find Hou Ying, hoping to convince him to stand on her side first.

Since Jiang Huan Chu took the capital, Hou Ying made peace with Zhu Hai in Tian Wuji's army, and the two returned to Tianqi Sect with a large number of soldiers. As a result, when they arrived, they found that Lei Moyang had fled with Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, but Zheng Chen and the others remembered their old relationship and did not hurt Qi Tianfang's life.
