A very important event was being held in the Xiaoliang Imperial Court, south of Li Tang in Guanzhong, and the Xiaoliang Emperor Xiao Mo officially moved the capital to Jiangling on this day to restore the ancestral garden temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the shouting of the ceremonial officer, Xiao Mo proceeded in an orderly manner in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the ceremonial official:

"Open the temple door and welcome the saint!" With the opening of the palace door, Xiao Mo led the civil and military officials into the sacrificial hall, after Xiao Mo ascended the throne, he posthumously followed his father Xiao Cong as Emperor Xiaojing, his grandfather Xiao Yan as the King of Hejian Zhonglie, and his father Xiao Xuan as King Wenxian. And the ancestral tablets were enshrined at the Gangneung Ancestral Garden Temple.

"Incense!" Xiao Mo respectfully offered incense in front of the ancestral tablet. Then he led the officials behind him to kneel down and kowtow a few times, and opened the sacrificial text and sang loudly.

"Not Xiao descendants Xiao Milling Gong dedication, since my ancestors established the Liang State, and then was replaced by the pseudo-Chen, fortunately God does not stop my Xiao Liang blood heirs, so that the ancestors are partial to Jing Chu, the ancestors serve the Sui Dynasty, there is no lack of tribute, and the Sui people are greedy for my land, destroy my clan, the ministers and grandchildren are heartbroken, and now God has sent down all the virtuous ministers, and they will renew the rule of the Liang Dynasty, in order to bless the emperor, the ministers and grandchildren will rebuild the Liang Kingdom today, and they will be conscientious and conscientious to rebuild the prosperity of my Liang Kingdom, and the people will be healthy and stable. In addition, please report to heaven for the ancestors, bless our country and the people, and worship the ministers again. After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully a few times. After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Xiao Mo named Dong Jingzhen as the king of Jin, Lei Shimeng as the king of Qin, Zheng Wenxiu as the king of Chu, Xu Xuanche as the king of Yan, Wan Zan as the king of Lu, Zhang Xiu as the king of Qi, and Yang Daosheng as the king of Song. After the reward, Xiao Mo set up a banquet to entertain the newly crowned princes:

"Come, come, come! Ladies and gentlemen, it is really possible to ascend the throne as the emperor today and revitalize the Liang Kingdom, all of which are all with your great help, and I will first salute you princes. Xiao Mo gave himself a drink first. The newly sealed princes who were sitting also raised their wine glasses, and the atmosphere at the banquet reached a climax for a while. After Xiao Mo drank a few glasses with the princes seated, he looked at the newly appointed central attendant Cen Wenwen, who nodded:

"Your Majesty, when Luoyang Wang Shichong sent an envoy to contact, let me send troops to help him attack Guanzhong Li Tang, in order to assist that Wang Shichong, His Majesty ordered the generals here to step up their war preparedness and expand the troops, who knows that Wang Shichong himself is not up to the matter, the army is defeated in Tongguan, and now I am newly opened, the taxes are very small, and the production of strong men in various places is obviously insufficient, and the military expenditure is getting bigger and bigger, and the money and food in the treasury are decreasing day by day, it is difficult to maintain, please decide!" When the princes who sat down again heard this, they understood that today's banquet was not a good banquet, but a Hongmen banquet. Moreover, the soldiers and horses in his hands are his biggest reliance, and no one is willing to cut the men and horses in his hands, and for a time the hall was silent, and he could hear even a needle falling on the ground.

Xiao Mo naturally knew the plans of the generals in his heart, when Dong Jingzhen originally supported him as the emperor, he originally thought that they wanted to treat him as a puppet, and if the anti-Sui failed, he would definitely use him as a shield to ensure his glory and wealth. So at the beginning, he has always been submissive, when deliberating, although he also put forward opinions, but once he disagreed with other people, he immediately shut his mouth, but Xiao Mo is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and he has been a county commander for many years, and he is not a novice for civil and military affairs, and many times his opinions are also right, under his planning; The former Sui Dynasty generals Zhang Zhenzhou and Wang Jinshou attacked Xiao Milling and could not win. Later, when he learned of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he and Ning Changzhen and others led Lingnan Prefecture to surrender to Xiao Milling. At that time, Lin Shihong possessed Jiangnan, and Xiao Milling sent Su Huer to attack Yuzhang County, sent Yang Daosheng to capture Nanjun, and Zhang Xiu slightly fixed Lingnan. West to Bashu, south to Jiaozhi, north to Hanshui, all belong to Xiao Mill, as time goes by, he slowly has the feeling of being an emperor, he is not willing to be restrained anymore, and his heart also kills these generals who supported him at the beginning. Xiao Mo smiled slightly:

"Generals, I am very grateful to you for supporting me to ascend the throne as emperor, and I have sworn with you that we are not for our own glory and wealth, but for the people of the world to return a peaceful world, why are we all dumb now?" Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, was the first person to support Xiao Mo as the emperor, faintly with the power of the first assistant, all the kings present looked at him with their eyes, Dong Jingzhen said stubbornly:

"Your Majesty! The ministers thought it would be better to raise taxes to fill the void in the treasury. When Xiao Mo heard this, he couldn't wait to throw the wine glass in front of him.

"Hey! Aiqing does not know the difficulties of the people, and now that the tax and conscription have been miserable, I have decided to suspend the army in order to farm, and I invite you to come today to discuss a charter to help me through this difficulty. Again, the kings were silent. Xiao Mo glanced at Cen Wenwen again, and Cen Wenwen took out a stack of recitals and read:

"Dong Jinggui, the Taishou of Nanjun, was greedy, and during his tenure, in the name of conscription, he forcibly recruited 3,000 strong people, and in the name of raising military salaries, he extorted more than 10,000 taels of silver and more than 10,000 stones of grain and grass from wealthy households in the territory."

"During the period when Da Sima and Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, controlled the trade of Lingnan, blackmailed merchants from Lingnan and the Central Plains, and forcibly distributed fertilizer in the name of transit tax. And privately raised Changsha's commercial tax by three times. ”

"During his time in Gangneung, Dong Jinggui, the Taishou of Nanjun, often entered brothels to make trouble, and in the name of night patrols, he entered various brothels and gambling houses to forcibly collect money." When the people present heard that it was Dong Jingzhen and Dong Jinggui's crimes, their hearts slowly quieted down, and everyone thought, 'Hmph! It turns out that His Majesty mainly has to deal with the two brothers Dong Jingzhen and Dong Jinggui! But also, the two brothers do things so flamboyantly, as the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird, anyway, the dead friends don't die the poor. One by one, they stared at the two brothers and watched their jokes. Dong Jingzhen's face was like a fire, and cold sweat kept falling. He stood up tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, Minister!"

"Why should Da Sima be nervous, the sage has clouds, no one is at fault, it's good to know that mistakes can be corrected. But Brother Ling 。。。。。。 Xiao Mo took out the book again and handed it to Dong Jingzhen:

"King Jin, please see for yourself."

As soon as Dong Jingzhen opened it, he broke out in a cold sweat, only to see that it was written on it, Nanjun was too guarded by Dong Jinggui to fornicate with the enemy country, according to Wang Xuanying's envoy, passing by Nanjun, he once received two pairs of Wang Xuanying's jade, thousands of gold, two boxes of jewelry, and dozens of treasures.

Dong Jingzhen knelt down and said:

"The minister has no way to discipline his younger brother, and today I apologize to the saint." After speaking, he drew his saber and walked out, and after a while, he walked in with a human head in his hand and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, the minister's brother has done things undecennially, and the minister has been punished on behalf of the saint, and I ask the saint to forgive the minister's crime of monopoly."

Xiao Mo hurriedly helped Dong Jingzhen up: "Why is Da Sima like this, in addition, this matter of cutting soldiers and horses?" ”

"The minister will be dismissed first. In addition, Nanjun is in a dangerous position, so please send someone to replace him as soon as possible. Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction.

"In addition, these kings cut soldiers and horses, and the king of Jin, as a great Sima, is in charge of military affairs, so he has to work a lot hard!" Dong Jingzhen said in her heart: 'At this time, you want to roast me on the fire!' ’

"The minister must serve the saint." The smile on Xiao Miao's face was even brighter.
