Chapter 282: Taking the Throne
Yang Xingmi didn't say anything, but directly announced Zhao Kuang's condensation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Zhao Kuangning came in, he first bowed to Yang Xingmi, and sang a promise in his mouth: "Shannan Dongdao Festival makes Zhao Kuangning meet the king!" ”
Yang Xingmi nodded, and then pointed at Yang Wu and said, "This is Yang Wu, the son of the lonely family, and many things in Huainan will be taken care of by him in the future." ”
Zhao Kuangning turned his head to look at Yang Wu, but he just arched his hand, and said somewhat casually: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Yang Wu couldn't help but feel angry when he saw it, now that the officials in Huainan saw that they were not respectful, even if their etiquette to him was a little worse than that of Yang Xingmi, but they were also extremely respectful and solemn, this Zhao Kuangning was just in trouble, and he dared to be so contemptuous.
Yin Wengui and the others also flashed with anger on their faces, and they were about to stand up and scold, but they were stopped by Yang Wu with a look.
The reason why he wanted to stop it was mainly because Zhao Kuangning took the initiative to vote after all, and now he made a big fuss about this when he met for the first time, which was not worth it.
Anyway, this person will stay in Guangling in the future, and he will clean him up, and there is an opportunity, so there is no need to rush for a while.
Yang Xingmi was also a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately said coldly: "I heard that when you were a festival envoy in Xiangzhou, you sent a large number of tributes to Zhu Quanzhong every year, and now you have come to take refuge in Lone, but what is the reason?" ”
Zhao Kuangning said angrily: "The Zhao family has been a courtier of the Tang Dynasty for generations, and they pay tribute on time every year, this is the duty of a courtier, how can it be said that it is an enemy?" Now because he refused to belong to Zhu Quanzhong, he was invincible with the force, so he came to join the king, and in the future, the life and death of the next family will be entrusted to the king! ”
Yang Xingmi nodded after hearing this, reluctantly agreeing with his statement. However, how could Yang Wu let him pass the test so easily, he immediately signaled to Yin Wengui and the others.
"You said that paying tribute to the court every year, this is the duty of a courtier, are you saying that I Huainan does not abide by the duty of a courtier?" Yin Wengui stood up and sneered.
Zhao Kuangning was shocked in his heart, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he was a prince after all, where should he be so cautious when speaking, naturally he accidentally let people hold the handle.
He hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I just said that what I did in the past was not an enemy, how dare I accuse the king?" ”
Yin Wengui said: "It's okay, even if this is your unintentional words. Then the old man asked you, how did you say that you also had the land of Kyushu in your hands, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, but you couldn't even resist Zhu Quanzhong for a month, is this also called a force war? ”
Zhao Kuangning's face turned red suddenly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Yang Xingmi was a kind-hearted person after all, seeing his embarrassed face, he came out to relieve him and said: "That's it, don't talk about the past, Zhao Kuangning, since you have arrived in Guangling, you will live here in the future." ”
Although he relieved Zhao Kuang's siege, he didn't say a word about how to arrange him in the future, and he was obviously unhappy in his heart.
Zhao Kuangning was a little disappointed when he heard this, he glanced at Yin Wengui with some hatred, but he was helpless.
He originally came to vote with his family in distress, and he was expecting Yang Xingmi, a kind person, to be kind to him, who knew that the five thousand troops under his command were detained by Liu Cun when he first passed through Ezhou, and then it had been a while since he arrived in Guangling, but because Yang Xingmi was seriously ill, Yang Wu and others were paying attention to his condition, so they naturally snubbed him a lot.
As a result, Zhao Kuangning was not happy in his heart, and felt that Yang Wu deliberately neglected him, so his attitude towards Yang Wu was a little cold when he met him at this time.
On the side, Zhu Jin, who was a foreigner like Zhao Kuangning, couldn't help sneering when he saw that he still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
He was actually lucky, when he first came to Huainan, first, Huainan was facing great pressure from Zhu Quanzhong, and secondly, he took a strong cavalry to the south, and made great contributions in the battle of Qingkou that happened soon, so after arriving in Huainan, the weight of his speech was naturally heavier.
Of course, the most important point is that at that time, Yang Xingmi, who was famous for his generosity, was in charge of Huainan, and he gradually integrated into Huainan over the years, so everyone would not deliberately reject him.
But now Huainan's family has gradually become Yang Wu, so even his life in Huainan is not good, although he is the privy deputy envoy, but in fact he does not have much real power.
And this Zhao Kuangning offended Yang Wu when he first came to Huainan, and more importantly, he didn't realize his danger yet, and he still had a look of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Now is the time when Yang Wu is about to take over, so Zhu Jin feels that this Zhao Kuangning may not be over for a long time.
"Maybe I have to find a way to dispel the doubts of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise I will always be so suspicious of him, and if someone slanders in front of the Prince in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape!" Zhu Jin was a little worried in his heart.
At this time, after seeing Huainan's strong soldiers and horses, the peak of talents, and the fact that Qian Biao had just been destroyed, there were signs of unifying the south, Zhu Jin naturally had no ambitions.
But the problem now is that Yang Wu is obviously a little wary of him, if he acts deliberately, he is afraid that it will have the opposite effect, so he can only try it slowly.
started, Yang Xingmi sent Zhao Kuangning at will, and then formally summoned Li Xun, the envoy of Wang Jian, the king of Shu, and agreed with him that the two sides would make an alliance and jointly deal with Zhu Quanzhong and others.
After dealing with some things that required him to come forward, Yang Xingmi suddenly said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is only one important thing to announce for today's deliberations. ”
Yin Wengui, Zhou Yin and others couldn't help but be shocked when they saw his solemn expression, and hurriedly listened attentively.
Yang Xingmi turned his head to look at Yang Wu, and said loudly: "You also know that Gu was unwell some time ago, and although his condition is improving now, he still needs to recuperate. Therefore, from today onwards, Lone officially entrusts many things up and down Huainan to the prince Yang Wu, and you should be a good student to assist, and you must not slack off! If there is nothing important, don't bother Lonely! ”
Yin Wengui and the others originally thought that Yang Xingmi would regain power in Huainan after he recovered, but who knew that he suddenly announced that he would officially transfer the power to Yang Wu, and he was stunned for a while.
Yang Xingmi didn't care about this, he directly announced: "The official ceremony, the orphan will be held in three days. At that time, all the officials in Huainan and those who are in Guangling should be present and pledge their allegiance to the prince! ”
Although everyone was a little surprised, after all, it was Yang Wu who was in charge of government affairs when Yang Xingmi was in a coma before, and now it was only solemnly confirmed by Yang Xingmi again, and everyone had some expectations in their hearts, so everyone was just stunned for a moment before reacting.
"My subordinates will meet His Royal Highness!"
Everyone bowed down again, but it was different from before, when they met Yang Wu before, it was because he was the heir chosen by Yang Xingmi, and this time the bow was equivalent to meeting the Lord of Huainan, which had a very different meaning.
Yang Xingmi nodded, and after he explained some more things, he left under the service of the guards, leaving Yang Wu here to deal with government affairs.
Three days later, Yang Xingmi held a grand ceremony in Guangling, and the Huainan officials who stayed in Guangling, including Li Yan, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, basically arrived.
On the ceremony, Yang Xingmi officially crowned Yang Wu as the deputy capital of the southeast provinces, and after the Huainan Jiedu, he was also the envoy of Zhenhai, Zhendong, Ningguo, and Eyue four towns, and officially took charge of all military and political affairs in Huainan, while Yang Xingmi completely retreated into the background.
On the main seat, looking at the Huainan officials and generals who were bowing to the ground below, Yang Wu sighed in his heart.
How many times have he imagined the scene of officially taking charge of Huainan, but he didn't expect to end up on the throne in this way.
Although important positions such as King Wu and Huainan Jiedu envoys are still held by his father, but now Huainan's territory is mainly Huainan, Ningguo, Zhenhai, Zhendong, and Eyue, which were canonized by the Tang Dynasty.
And Yang Xingmi's retreat into the background can just help him deter the younger generation and help him get through the initial period of officially taking charge of Huainan safely.
……
Hongzhou, after hearing that Yang Xingmi officially handed over the power of Huainan to Yang Wu, Zhong Chuan continued to have a headache over his heir, and at the same time felt envious of Yang Xingmi.
In the past year, his condition was once extremely serious, but in the end he miraculously got better.
During the period when he was most ill, he hurriedly identified his eldest son Zhong Kuangshi as the heir, but when he recovered from his illness, he regretted it in his heart, because he found that his son was too weak to take on the heavy responsibility of running Jiangxi.
Now the situation in Jiangxi, Fuzhou Wei Quanyi and Qianzhou Lu Guangchou have been in the local area for nearly 20 years, and even he himself is just reluctant to let them obey orders, if he is not there in the future, when he changes to Zhong Kuang, who has a weak temperament, can he still expect these assassins to continue to obey orders?
However, if the second son Zhong Yangui is re-established, not to mention that there are many people who oppose him among Jiangxi officials now, it is his somewhat radical personality that makes Zhong Chuan feel uneasy.
He can imagine that if Zhong Yangui is in power, and the Huainan Army takes the opportunity to fight again, with Zhong Yangui's character, he is afraid that he will fight with the Huainan Army to the end, in that case, it is likely to bring disaster to the Zhong family.
In the hesitation that the two sons were not satisfied, a year passed like this, and Qian Biao was also eliminated, and Yang Wu began to replace Yang Xingmi in charge of Huainan.
At this time, he also knew that he couldn't delay any longer, although Zhong Kuangshi had a weak personality, at least he would not cause the Zhong family to be destroyed in the future, so he finally decided to make Zhong Kuangshi the son.
However, just in case, Zhong Chuan still summoned Xu Yanxiu and instructed him: "Mr. Xu, if the Huainan Army really comes over one day in the future, you must persuade Kuang Shi well, let him not resist, surrender as soon as possible, and maybe protect my Zhong family's wealth!" ”
