Chapter 0128: VIA
Jiying Hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Don't look at Lu Fei's army has completely controlled the palace in his hands, but in the face of this full hall of civil and military officials, he can't kill a single person indiscriminately, the imperial examination arose in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty has begun to take shape, completely abandoning the hereditary way of being an official for three generations, but until the beginning of the Song Dynasty of Zhao Jiong, the imperial examination was not completely open to students in the world (it was only open to the commoner Bai Ding in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty).
The imperial examination, as the name suggests, is mainly based on scientific examinations, supplemented by recommendations, only officials or the sons and nephews of meritorious heroes are eligible to apply for the examination, Bai Ding and civilians are not eligible to participate, that is to say, as long as it is an official in the court, it represents a force, which person has an unusual local wealthy force behind him, anyway, in a word, the government and the opposition officials protect each other, the blood is connected, and killing one person will offend a large area, as long as there is a place where the anti-Tang banner is erected, It is likely that it will spread as quickly as the mutiny in Bianliang today.
Lu Fei does not have the sophistry talent of Zhuge Liang's tongue to fight the Confucianism, nor does he have the strength to dominate the world with his male soldiers like Zhao Jiong back then, he doesn't even seem to have a person to rely on inside and outside the Great Song Dynasty, and it is too difficult to control the world with only 20,000 fresh troops.
Lu Fei walked back and forth in the hall, and said slowly: "Ministers, time waits for no one, where to go, should you make a statement, should Datang be established?" ”
The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has died, the emperor's eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo was also executed in the palace, and the only one who can inherit the throne of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Yuanyou, the king of Chen, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
The hundred officials had their own thoughts, and they were speechless to each other, some looked resolute, some looked gloating, and even took the opportunity to nod their heads to Lu Fei again and again, but the important thing was the people in the political hall and the Privy Council, if they didn't express their attitude, this matter would not be possible.
Lu Fei secretly gritted his teeth and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”
Immediately, a group of pro-soldiers held steel knives in their hands and sang in unison!
Prime Minister Xue Juzheng was also not afraid of danger, and shouted: "General Lu, could it be that you want to slaughter the court today?" Xue Juzheng has actually accepted the reality in his heart, but he is more afraid that Lu Fei will kill him, most of the dozens of high-ranking officials in this hall are capable ministers and good generals, and these people are indispensable for governing the country and the army.
Lu Fei snorted, threw the Mo knife in his hand in front of the courtiers, and arched his hand: "Xue Xianggong, I am not a person who loves to kill, and I don't want to embarrass you too much, you are capable ministers of the world, I respect you, today's things are done by me alone, right and wrong no longer matter, I only ask you to work together with me to revive the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Xue Juzheng said: "Otherwise, what? ”
Lu Fei snorted and said warmly: "Then I will ask you to sweep the battle for me, I will prepare myself to fight, defend the palace to the death, and fight to the last soldier." ”
Another prime minister, Lu Duan, hurriedly said: "In this way, in less than ten days, all the armies in the world will gather in Bianliang, I don't know how many people will be king, how many people will be hegemonic, is this the result you want?" ”
This Lu Fei also knew that the Zhao family's royal family died suddenly, and those generals with male soldiers did not take the opportunity to rely on themselves, and it was likely that there would be more than ten countries at that time.
Lu Fei shouted: "Then what do you want?" Do you want me to retire from the army, or let Zhao Jiong come back from the dead? You ask me, will these 20,000 soldiers agree? I don't kill indiscriminately, but I also tell you, don't force me to kill. ”
Suddenly, there was a burst of singing outside the hall, and Kou Zhun said loudly outside the hall gate: "The Queen of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!" ”
Lu Fei snorted and glared at the courtiers, walked quickly to the outside of the palace gate, and knelt on the ground: "Minister, the thirteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, Xing Six, Lu Fei, welcome the queen." ”
For a while, all the soldiers in the hall and outside the hall knelt on the ground, and the mountain called the queen a thousand years old.
Zhou Wei stood at the door of the palace, the expression on her face was very complicated, looking at Lu Fei kneeling in front of her, it was like a dream, as if the scene in the Southern Tang Dynasty Palace had reappeared, she had hardly noticed this person in front of her, he was so insignificant, but at this moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings, she didn't know how to face this person, he had rejuvenated the Tang Dynasty by himself, he had even seen his body that he had never shown to others, and he even made that unbearable sound in front of him, All this happened a few days ago, whether I, Zhou Wei, was your maidservant or the queen, and whether you Lu Fei were my Langjun or a courtier, I died in chaos, I really died in chaos.
Zhou Wei secretly calmed down, surrounded by a group of palace laves, moved the lotus step lightly, and stood in front of Lu Fei, the wide skirt gently scratched Lu Fei's cheeks, a pair of embroidered phoenix wisps of gold tips were half exposed on the stone slab in front of him, from the reflection of the light and people, Lu Fei couldn't see her face, only a pair of towering breasts stood there, fascinating, he had seen it, he had really seen it that day, there was no cloth wrapping.
She is the queen, she was, and still is, this solemnity is at her fingertips, and the majesty of this queen is enough to make many courtiers dare not look directly for a while.
Zhou Wei swallowed secretly, a trembling jade body was wrapped under the wide robe, at the gate of the palace, the sun spread on her body, she suddenly became like a fairy in the sky and stood in front of the courtiers, the exquisite and gorgeous makeup made her not lose a trace of the queen's identity and beauty, the head full of pearls and jade reflected the sun, a soft red lips like red roses as gorgeous, she was really the Tang Dynasty 'Little Zhou Hou' who was glamorous in the world.
With the step by step of Zhou Wei's head, a few courtiers of the former Tang Dynasty couldn't control it for a while, and immediately knelt down, but they didn't dare to say a word, they all returned when the Song army destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, so the lord reunited, so they were embarrassed by themselves, saying anything was in vain, and they only asked the queen for mercy.
After the Dragon Book case, Zhou Wei sat precariously, holding her head high, as if waiting for the courtiers to bow down in front of her one by one, the blade may be able to kill, but it will never be able to kill some people's arrogant Confucian integrity, 'the rich and noble cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor and lowly cannot be moved', this is the gentlemanly integrity flaunted by Chinese Confucianism, even if Lu Fei kills all the people in the hall one by one, there are always a few hard bones who refuse to give in, but, the queen, this kind of monarch and minister is an innate pressure, the queen is the queen, even after the death of the country, it is also the queen.
This dignity made the white lady who was prostrate in His Royal Highness, a person in the rivers and lakes, stunned, and it was enough to be a woman to do this, I don't know how imposing Wu Zetian was like a rainbow when he reigned in the world, in this momentum, anyone is insignificant, no wonder everyone wants to be the king and hegemon, who does not yearn for this kind of majesty that stands out from the crowd.
Lu Fei saw that everyone was hesitating there, and he hurriedly cast a role on Luo Cheng on the side.
Luo Cheng understood, immediately stood up, pulled out the Mo knife that was still dripping blood, and shouted: "You dare to despise Feng Yi, kneel!" ”
At this moment, more than a dozen people almost fell on the floor, saying: "Knock on the queen, long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”
However, there are still more than 20 people in the hall who refuse to bow down, all of them are important ministers of the dynasty, such as Xue Juding, Lu Duan, the governor of the government, Yang Guangmei, the three envoys, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and several people from the imperial history.
Xue Juding was already nervous in his heart, secretly calmed down, didn't look at Zhou Wei's aggressive and majestic eyes above, turned his face sideways and said, "How can we, the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, bend their knees to the women of a dead country." ”
"Bold!" Luo Cheng was about to step forward and take people.
But at this time, Zhou Wei raised her eyebrows, waved her wide cuffs, stood up, and her refreshing voice was very clear: "Xue Xiang, this palace wants to correct your words, there is no Song Chen here, only Tang Chen, that's right, this palace is a woman who died in the country, but Xue Xiang didn't hear about Gou Jian's lying salary and tasting courage, ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons, twenty years of hegemony, my Tang Dynasty was once conquered by the Song army, but the soul of the Tang people has never yielded, today, the Tang Dynasty has recovered, and the palace is still the queen of the Tang Dynasty, Fengyi world." ”
A few words of understatement pierced deeply into the hearts of these Confucian ministers, what is more worshipful than the success of the restoration of the country.
When Xue Juzheng was still entangled there, he saw that the third envoy Yang Guangmei was quietly kneeling down, and after a while, one after another, in the blink of an eye, only Xue Juzheng and Cao Bin stood out in the hall, looking at each other.
Lu Fei was overjoyed and said secretly: See how long you two can last, or the name of the queen is bluffing.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Fei raised his head slightly, just opposite Zhou Wei's eyes, and it was just this moment, Zhou Wei quickly looked away, she was already a little panicked in her heart, she really didn't dare to face his gaze, as if the blazing eyes were still like the sun falling on her smooth body, under the panic, Zhou Wei's face flashed a touch of red, and she was a little flustered in her heart.
But it was this hurried glance between the two, Zhou Wei straightened her chest even more, she didn't want to disappoint him, she wanted to help him, the ministers in this palace were the capable ministers that the Tang Dynasty must use now, and they could only be subdued, not killed, especially Xue Juzheng.
Zhou Wei clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, shook the golden hairpin on her head, smiled slightly, and said: "Xue Xiang, this palace knows that you value your reputation more than your life, but this palace wants to tell you that it is not easy to be a loyal minister since ancient times, you are a rare talent of my Datang, you have the strategy of rejuvenating the country, full of economy, Datang is indispensable to you, for the peace of the world, do you want to be a foolish and loyal minister who was martyred for the Song Dynasty, or be a capable minister who will go down in history for the well-being of the common people in the world?" ”
Lu Fei also got up at the right time and said: "Xue Xianggong, Lu Fei is a martial artist, if you help you, Datang will no longer be prosperous in the past, one day, the battle flag of Datang will still flutter in the land of the Western Regions, Datang's iron cavalry will step across the grassland Gobi, you are Datang's Fang Xuanling." ”
Xue Juzheng had mixed feelings, and he could see that Lu Fei, who was now in power, took himself very seriously, and this respect alone was rare, but was he really going to be a rebel who betrayed the Song Dynasty?
Zhou Wei slowly walked down the jade steps, and said softly: "Xue Aiqing, Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving, the terrain is kun, the gentleman is virtuous, the sky is thundering, the gentleman is Jinglun, Zhou Wei is not a soldier for the world, please Xue Xiangmian is difficult for him, Zhou Wei has given you a gift on behalf of the people!" As she spoke, she really bent forward slightly.
"Don't dare, Queen!" Such an important hat was pressed down, Xue Juzheng didn't carry it anymore, it was really a face, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "The old minister is willing to serve the Tang Dynasty, do his best, and die, the queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”
Xue Juzheng only had the privy envoy Cao Bin's face like a dead pestle in the middle of the kneeling hall, he wanted to surrender, but he also knew that he slaughtered Jiangling City back then, but he was afraid that he would not end well, rather than being killed after surrendering, it was better to be a loyal minister with his full name, but he really didn't want to die, I don't know if the Tang Dynasty opened the country with an iron coupon to avoid death, but even if there is this thing, can you give me Cao Bin, the initiator of the slaughter of Jiangling?
Lu Fei saw that Xue Juzheng had surrendered, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Queen Mother, how should the envoy of Cao Yuan fall." ”
Lu Fei, the backbone of the general, knows that there are only civil servants who die for the country, but there are few generals who can die for the country, when did the Confucian classics penetrate into the hearts of military generals.
Zhou Wei didn't dare to look at Lu Fei's eyes, stepped up the steps, turned around suddenly, and shouted, "Someone is coming, ......"
But at this moment, Cao Bin's face turned pale and suddenly knelt down: "The minister is willing to surrender, he is willing to surrender, the queen is a thousand years old, long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Zhou Weifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, she could see that she hated Cao Bin very much, this person had the blood of more than 100,000 people of the Tang Kingdom on his hands, and immortality was not enough to make the people angry, but Zhou Wei didn't dare to be self-conscious, she secretly looked at Lu Fei, and saw Lu Fei slowly shaking his head at herself.
Zhou Wei snorted and said: "Cao Bin, this palace wants to push you out of the palace and pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of living beings in my Jiangling City, what do you have to say!" ”
Cao Bin was sweating profusely, and he couldn't care about his reputation anymore, so he said in a loud voice: "The queen is clearly checking, this, this is all Zhao Jiong's forced ministers back then, and the ministers have to do this, begging the queen to spare his life." ”
Zhou Wei said: "The authenticity of this matter, this palace will send someone to the archive to check and inquire, and today in this hall, you give this palace a reason not to kill you." ”
Lu Fei immediately took out a military order that had already been prepared from his arms and handed it to Cao Bin.
The Privy Council is Cao Bin's power, he has the right to mobilize all the forbidden troops, and only his handwritten warrant will convince all the generals of the forbidden army, and besides, the commanders of the two armies of Shenwei and Longwei who are killing outside the city are still his subordinates.
In the Jiying Palace, the ministers bowed down, and the mountain called Long Live the Tang Dynasty, and the mouth called the queen a thousand years old.
Kou Zhun also duly took out the yellow silk that had already been prepared and read it out loud in front of the ministers: "Empress Yi of the Tang Dynasty: From now on, change the name of the country to the Tang Dynasty, change the era to the industry, the tenth day of August in the fourth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom is the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the two governments and the three divisions and the various offices in Beijing will not change the system, and the officials of the states and governments will be retained in their original positions, and on the same day, the first emperor will be mourned, and the first emperor will be respected as the emperor Zhaolie of the Tang Dynasty. ”
The temple shouted loudly.
Kou Zhun said again: "Empress Yi of the Tang Dynasty: The Tang Dynasty will restore the country, and the front division of the palace will command the left wing of the Japanese army to make Lu Fei make great contributions, and the palace will be inspected before the sealing, and the forbidden army will be commanded and ten thousand households will be eaten; Feng Pan Mei is the privy envoy, and he is the same as the Ping Zhang; Cao Bin was the deputy privy councillor; Feng Yang Guangmei is the third envoy, with the Ping Zhang; Xue Juzheng added 5,000 households; The officials of the two governments and three divisions in Beijing were all promoted to one level, the treasury was opened, and the three armies were rewarded. ”
There was another mountain cry in the hall.
Kou Zhun sang again: "Empress Yi of the Tang Dynasty: On the day when the new monarch is not reunified, summoned, Lu Fei, Xue Juzheng, and Pan Mei, the privy envoy, will participate in the government in front of the palace. ”
When he retired from the palace, the imperial city of Nuoda was already full of people, just like the grand occasion of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but there was no emperor in this Tang Dynasty.
Lu Fei nodded slightly towards Zhou Wei, who had been fully committed to the palace, from now on, this inner palace would have to be managed by her alone, as soon as she walked out of the palace gate, Lu Fei suddenly grabbed the white lady and said, "White lady, can you do me another favor?" Stay in the palace and help her, remember, Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, haven't you always wanted to be peaceful in the world as soon as possible? ”
The White Lady chuckled: "What kind of official position do you give me?" ”
Lu Feiyi frowned: "Yo, the white lady doesn't want money?" How do you become an official as a woman? ”
"Wu Zetian is still the emperor, it's rare for me to be an official?"
Lu Fei nodded, thought for a while, and said: "First help the queen pacify the palace, I am thinking about setting up my own yamen, it is better for you to be in charge, all composed of women, wearing brocade clothes, heroic posture, just call it 'brocade guard'." ”
The White Lady didn't know what it was and asked, "It's all made up of women?" ”
Lu Fei nodded: "Well, specifically for me to spy on intelligence, it just so happens that I was about to close the 'Drunken Wei Pavilion', there are nearly thirty women there, I can transfer them to you first, you are responsible for training them, and if the number is insufficient, you can choose from the palace maids." ”
**
A secret decree of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty flowed out of the east gate of Bianliang City, accompanied by ten people, and the leader was Luo Cheng, and the decree was one: the official decree of the Great Song Dynasty: to make the Great Song Dynasty Jiangnan Jingluo make Chen Wang Zhao Yuanyou self-judged.
Another military order written by Cao Bin and boxes of money were sent to the commander of the Tianwu army, ordering the Tianwu army to gather immediately, divide all the property, and go to the city to resist the enemy.
The political hall also immediately released the list of An Min, the Tang Dynasty was restored, and the whole world celebrated.
In addition, hundreds of edicts of the Tang Dynasty were sent to various state capitals and counties.
After all this news spilled out, the only thing Lu Fei could do was to wait quietly for a response, hoping that what was waiting would not be the anger of the heavens and the army of King Qin.
The Tianwu army commanded the courtiers who heard that they had returned to the Tang Dynasty, and what did he do when he was in prison, so he had to act one by one according to the military orders of the Privy Council, and at this time, the 100,000 forbidden troops outside the city had already been killed, looking at the Tang army flag fluttering in the city, the three armies were impressive.
Gao Shun, the commander of the Divine Guard, hurriedly urged Ma Tianbo's subordinates and said in a loud voice: "Cao Taiwei, why is there wolf smoke in the capital." ”
Cao Bin threw down the military order and said: "The Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty was restored, there were 100,000 defenders in Bianliang City, and the money and food were inexhaustible. ”
Gao Shun was furious, but he didn't dare to attack the city immediately, the army was in a hurry, how could he fight without food?
Cao Bin said again: "General Gao, the one who knows the times is Junjie, if you don't surrender at this time, you don't want the Dragon Guard Army to return first." ”
Gao Shun did not know what was going on, so he ordered the army to temporarily retreat five miles and set up camp.
But the veteran Huyanzan's dragon guard army did not do this, 50,000 forbidden troops under the banner of King Qin, forcibly attacked the Wangchun Gate and Lijing Gate in the east, the battle was extremely tragic, fierce battles until dawn, nearly 10,000 dead and wounded on both sides, corpses blocked the entrance of the Bianhe River, and the river was bloody.
After dawn, the Dragon Guard retreated five miles and temporarily repaired.
