Chapter Ninety-Three: Enthronement 3

In the Han Palace, the lights are brilliant!

There are palace lights everywhere, and there are guards everywhere! Zhao Chen has just ascended the throne, and the conditions in this Han Palace are still very simple, at least there are not many palace maids!

In the Baohe Palace, Zhao Chen was sitting above, looking at the ministers below! Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others are also here!

"I fled all the way from Kaifeng to Hanzhong, and went through countless tribulations! But now, I have finally ascended the throne as emperor! I believe that I will never encounter disasters again in the future! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there will naturally be no more disasters in the future!" Zhe Keqiu stood up and said with a smile.

He said this in his mouth, but in his heart he was full of mockery! In his opinion, Zhao Chen is a puppet in his hands in the future, and he will naturally protect this puppet well and will not let this puppet encounter another disaster!

"Emperor Xuanwu, you don't listen to my warning! In the future, Emperor Jianyan will go west, you will wait for Emperor Jianyan's anger! Yang Shi stood up and said coldly.

Zhao Chen has ascended the throne and his year name is Xuanwu, so Yang Shi's title for Zhao Chen has also changed.

"Even if he doesn't come to hit me, I'll hit him!" Zhao Chen said.

"Emperor Xuanwu, Hanzhong is internally unstable, and I don't know how long you will be able to do this throne in the future!" Zhao Ding stood up and said.

"My Han and Chinese military ministers work together, what is the internal instability?" Zhao Chen asked rhetorically.

"I'm only afraid that the generals in Hanzhong will have a heart of disobedience!" Zhao Chen said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen's face showed a puzzled expression!

"Zhao Ding, you are talking nonsense, trying to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister in my court, you deserve death!" Zhe Keqiu has stood up impatiently at this moment, and shouted.

Zhao Ding smiled and retreated! He looked at Zhao Chen, and there was a faint smug expression in his eyes! In his mind, the prince was too young, the prince was only ten years old when the city was broken last year, and now he is only eleven years old! The prince is so young, even if he is a young man, it is because he grew up in the palace since he was a child and received royal education, but the prince's intelligence is definitely not up to the level of an adult, and the prince definitely does not know the ambition of the prince, so he wants to expose the ambition of the prince and bury a thorn in the prince's heart! He didn't know that this was just a joke, Zhao Chen had just come to Tongguan that day, and he had already guessed his ambition!

That side was extremely angry, and glared at Zhao Ding! After a while, Zhe Keqiu turned his head to look at Zhao Chen, and when he saw Zhao Chen's gentle expression, he was relieved! Zhao Chen is only eleven years old, but he is a teenager and can even be said to be a child, so his opinion of Zhao Chen is basically the same as Zhao Ding!

"In fact, since I came to Tongguan, I have always relied on General Zhe's protection! If I hadn't broken the general, I would have died under the iron hooves of the Jurchens! Originally, I wanted General Zhi to serve as the prime minister, but General Zhi insisted on resigning, so I let Li Gang and Master Li take the position of prime minister! Zhao Chen said such a thing as if he didn't have "any scheming"!

"Weichen is a military general, not enough to serve as the prime minister! Master Li Gang Li is the prestige of the government and the opposition, and no one can hold the post of prime minister except him! Zhe Keqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Zhao Ding was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to have such "trust" in Zhekeqiu! At that moment, Zhao Ding's brows were furrowed, and he didn't say more!

On the other side, Wang Shu looked at Zhao Chen's eyes with a strange color, and he nodded secretly in his heart!

"Emperor Xuanwu is really amazing! It seems that I must follow Emperor Xuanwu! Such a king, young and old, invisible, knows how to forbear, has a firm temperament, and is a generation of masters! I'm going to see when he'll be able to really get over it! Others say that King Kang is good, but now it seems that King Kang may not be able to catch up with Emperor Xuanwu! Wang Shu secretly wondered in his heart.

"Wang Shu, I went to find a discount yesterday, and he said that the military rations have been prepared, and we can leave with the military rations at any time! If we are short on manpower, he is willing to send a thousand men to assist us in transporting military rations to Jingyuan City! Your Majesty has ascended the throne today, and tomorrow we can leave this Hanzhong! After all, this is someone else's place, and it's a little uncomfortable to stay here! Qu Duan sat beside Wang Shu and said with a smile.

"Good!" Wang Shu nodded!

At this moment, he is desperate for Qu Duan, and he will never have the idea of convincing Qu Duan again!

The banquet was held until the time of the child, and then the ministers dispersed!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left!

At noon, Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others escorted the military rations away!

They were carrying rations, and the march was slow! After they came to the Dasan Pass, they found that Yang Shi and Zhao Ding were waiting for them in the Dasan Pass!

On the city wall of Dasanguan, Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Yang Shi, and Zhao Ding stood together!

Yang Shi said: "General Qu, the old man spoke recklessly that day, and I ask the general to forgive me!" ”

Qu Duan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang is a well-known Confucian in the world, and it is normal to look down on me and other martial artists!" Why apologize today? ”

Qu Duan actually didn't take Yang Shi's rotten Confucianism in his eyes at all! Although Yang Shi's fame is huge, Qu Duan doesn't care about him at all!

Yang Shi's face was slightly red, and he said: "General Qu, what we said that day, please think twice!" ”

Qu Duan shook his head and said, "There is no need to talk about this matter, I don't want to take refuge in King Kang!" After all, he is just a vassal king, and it is not right to inherit the throne! Besides, I have accepted the canonization of Emperor Xuanwu, if I secretly collude with King Kang, wouldn't it be the two ends of the first rat? This is not a gentleman's doing! ”

Yang Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Zhao Ding stood up at this moment and said, "General Qu, have you felt arrogant and arrogant in the past few days in Hanzhong?" As far as I know, all the political affairs of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu are being dealt with! The taxes of Hanzhong and Sichuan Shu were not sent to the Han Palace, but to the barracks! Emperor Xuanwu is nominally the emperor, but in fact he is just a puppet in the hands of Zhekeqiu! ”

Qu Duan was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know this news?" ”

Wang Shu was also secretly surprised, he and Qu Duan guessed that when they were in Jingyuan, they might coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so his best strategy was to "Qingjun side", but they didn't find many clues in Hanzhong for many days! I didn't expect Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to discover so many things in Hanzhong these days!

Zhao Ding said lightly: "Although Hanzhong and Sichuan Shu are nominally attributed to Emperor Xuanwu, there are actually still some officials who secretly owe allegiance to Emperor Jianyan!" These things are naturally told to us by those officials! ”

Qu Duan and Wang Shu understood this, Qu Duan nodded and said, "I see!" ”

Zhao Ding said: "Zhe Keqiu is ambitious, the government affairs and taxes of Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu are all managed by his family, is this still the duty of a courtier?" Sooner or later, Emperor Xuanwu will be ousted from power! At that time, General Qu, do you still have to be loyal to Emperor Xuanwu? If Emperor Xuanwu is killed by Zhekeqiu, what will you do? ”

Zhao Ding originally thought that his words would definitely make Qu Duan hesitate and think, but Qu Duan just shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the future in the future!" I don't want to think about anything else now, I don't care how the battle between Emperor Xuanwu and Zhe Keqiu is, in short, I am only loyal to Emperor Xuanwu now! Let me be loyal to King Kang, that is impossible! ”

Zhao Ding stayed there, he looked at Qu Duan with unbelievable eyes, he didn't believe that Qu Duan was so "ignorant"! He didn't know that Qu Duan didn't have any other ideas except for the idea of preserving his strength! As long as Hanzhong can send the military grain to Jingyuan City, he will never have other thoughts! He didn't want to make any extraneous branches at all, and took refuge in King Kang at this time!

"In that case, Zhao said goodbye!" Zhao Ding arched his hand and said.

"Don't send it!" Qu Duan said lightly.

When Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left, the two were still depressed!

Their mission this time was a complete failure, they neither brought Zhao Chen to Zhao Gou's side, nor did they bring back the jade seal of the country, nor did they persuade Qu Duan! They just watched an enthronement ceremony here, and then went back in ashes!

"Hmph, a martial artist, he doesn't know how thick the sky is! Lord Zhao, I said before, you don't need to persuade this martial artist anymore, he won't listen to it at all! Now it seems that it is! Yang Shi spat and said.

"That's it! It seems that the split of the Great Song Dynasty is inevitable! I don't know what the future will be! However, I believe that sooner or later there will be civil strife in Hanzhong, and that time will be the opportunity for Emperor Jianyan! Let's go! Zhao Ding said.
