Chapter 714: Wei Hou Kuai
PS: There is one more chapter before 12 o'clock
Chuqiu, legend has it that the ancestor of the Chu people, Ji Lian, once took his people to live here, so it was named, Wei Yi Gong was attacked by Chidi, and only 5,000 people were left to flee to the east bank of the river. Relying on the assistance of Duke Qi Huan to move eastward, Duke Wei Wen re-established the country in Chuqiu, and Uncle Kang's society was able to survive. Wei Guo established the capital in Chuqiu for 40 years, until the first year of Wei Cheng (629 BC), in order to avoid the invasion of the Di people, he moved to Diqiu, which was dozens of miles away in the east.
Although it has not been a long time to be the capital of Wei, there are still the tombs and palaces of Duke Wei Wen, whose status is equivalent to that of accompanying the capital. It's just that in recent years, Weiguo has been involved in the war between Qi and Jin and Lu, and under the successive wars, Chuqiu has been occupied several times, so the city is dilapidated, and the people have fled, and only the ruins are seen as far as the eye can see. Especially in the palace located on the outskirts of the city, wild grass grows wildly in the cracks of the stones, there are roe deer running outside the temple of Weiwengong, and there are even pheasant nests on the pillars of the palace......
However, on this day, Chuqiu's Weiguo Palace was full of majestic tigers inside and out, the dilapidated palace was framed, and the scholars and doctors in court clothes surrounded a young man in a silk robe and came to the temple in a noisy manner.
"The monarch's father is still in the prime of life, how can Kuai Deaf arrogantly claim the title of king?"
This young man kept struggling to push, it was the exiled Prince Kuai Shen, and most of the people around him were the "princelings" who were expelled from the country by Wei Hou Yuan together, such as Gong Meng Yan, etc., as well as the ministers who were driven out of the country by clashing with Wei Hou Yuan one after another, what Beigong Jie, Gong Shushu, a group of people hula around Kuai Yu, you say a word to me, you are actually persuading him to take the throne! Be a patriotic monarch!
"The king is dumbfounded. Traitorous villains such as Qin Mi Zifang and Song Zichao were deceived by Qi Hou and Chen. Insist on going his own way and get involved in the war. He was distracted and alienated from his loyal subjects. even expelled the prince who was dedicated to the country, and now the situation of defending the country is dangerous, and the king can no longer take on the responsibility of the society. ”
While speaking, everyone couldn't help but put on the crown of the princes that had been prepared, embroidered with gold thread, and black and red court clothes. Then they pressed him to the king's couch with all their hands and feet, and the mountains bowed their heads with a tsunami.
"Your Majesty!"
"No matter what, you are trapping me for disloyalty and unfilial piety, but for the sake of defending the country for 600 years, for the sake of thousands of Li Shu, the kid can only be this sinner!" Kuai Chen's acting skills are good, and after three pushes failed, he sighed while sitting on the king's couch like pins and needles. But my heart was full of joy.
He has been the prince for ten years, and he has been shrouded in the shadow of Wei Houyuan, and today he finally has the opportunity to be called "king" by his ministers!
When he ran away from Weiguo, Kuai Yu pessimistically felt that he probably had nothing to do with the monarch of Weiguo. Unexpectedly, the Zhao family forcibly put him on the throne, and what was even more unexpected was that it would be so fast!
From last winter the forces ceased war. Until the beginning of February, a lot happened.
On the Western Front. In mid-January, the Zhao and Han families launched an offensive from Jinyang and their eldest son, Shangdang. went to relieve the siege of Pingyang, which attracted the attention of Zhibo and the Marquis of Jin.
At the same time, they quickly mobilized heavy forces and attacked the Zhongxing clan's Hejian Land to the east and the Weiguo to the south.
Wei Guo was caught off guard, Zheng Guo, who was originally assisting in the defense of the Zhao clan with them, did not cover the flank of the guards, and the camp was empty. It turned out that the Zheng people had already withdrawn the army, some of them stayed in the tiger prison to guard, and some of them were led by You Su to attack the barbarian country, and after occupying the north of Rushui, there was a conflict with the Yegong County soldiers on the border, and the two sides were tense, and they didn't care about the life and death of the country.
So the war went well, after the Zhao army occupied a large area of land and controlled Chuqiu, Zhao Wuxian did something that shocked the world: he found the exile forces of the country and asked them to make the prince of the country the king!
"But my father is still alive, he is the monarch......" Kuai Yu was directly stunned and sat down on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, in his plan, he just begged the Zhao family to help him return to China, and forced Wei Hou to let him be the regent of the crown prince, who wanted Zhao Wuxian to make a direct decision and let him stand up as the king.
At that time, Zhao Wuxian smiled disapprehantly: "Shi Kuang of the Jin Kingdom once commented on the expulsion of Wei Xiangong by the people of the country, and he said that the monarch is the chief priest of the gods and the hope of the people. If the livelihood of the people is poor, the gods have lost their sacrificers, the people are desperate, and the society is left ownerless, then what is the use of the people of the country asking for this king? It's better to be expelled. ”
"Now this situation has occurred in the country again, Wei Hou is old, confused, my army is crusading eastward, he is still inciting Wei people to resist stubbornly, driving the people to kill themselves, he is no longer suitable to be the monarch, the Wei people need a new monarch to point out a clear way for them, the prince is naturally the only candidate......"
So under the instigation and arrangement of Zhao Wuxian, there is today's farce of persuasion.
Kuai Yu, who ascended the throne in this way, looked around the hall, and dozens of people persuaded him to enter together, this posture was enough to compete with the Wei Hou in the Emperor Qiu, and he slowly became not nervous, but enjoyed this moment.
Although Kuai's cronies also said worriedly that he was against his father and had fallen behind morally. Moreover, except for the Zhao family, the Lu state, the Song state, and the Cao foreign country, the Son of Heaven and the Jin Qi will never recognize his legitimacy, and the future of the Chuqiu Weihou regime is worrying.
At this time, Kuai Yu's mentality has changed, whoever doesn't let him be the monarch, he will be anxious with whom. Legal or illegal is actually of little use, the Quwo family of the Jin State was not besieged by the hostility of the whole world, and finally succeeded in replacing the Marquis of Jin and usurping the throne. In comparison, Kuai Yu feels that he is still justified, the defense of the country has slipped to the brink of extinction in the years of war, and it is time for someone to stand up and take a different path!
"Just like when Wei Wengong rebuilt the country here, Lone will also revive the country!"
Kuai Yu was complacent for a while, and said that he was lonely, until his eyes passed over the patriotic doctors who bowed three times and bowed nine times, and saw the group of people on the side of the hall, and then he suddenly came to his senses.
Zhao Wuxian, as a "foreign minister", was wearing a Yuanyou crown at this time, staring at him with a smile, and the retainers and generals behind him were just bowing their hands to Kuai, and they didn't take him seriously at all.
……
Zhao Wuxian really didn't take Kuai Shen seriously, this was not the first monarch he supported, at the end of last year, Xue Guo, who was trying to defect to Qi, was surrounded by troops from Lu and Song. The Xue people were terrified, so they killed their king Xue Bobi, and greeted the prince outside the city to become the king, and the Xue State was decided, and the doctors and princes of Sishang in the Lu State suddenly became honest, and Zhao Wuxian was telling him: Although I am not in Qufu, I am not far from Zhusi.
With the example of Xue Guo first, Zhao Wuxian is now quite handy when he sets out to establish the Chuqiu puppet guard regime.
"The prince of the country is not like a king......" Xiang Lu followed Zhao Wuxian's side, watched the whole process, and only felt that it was so boring that people dozed off, and he also looked down on Kuai, the monarch who was supported by the foreign secretary and doctor, thinking about it, he knew that he must be a puppet.
"It's good to be obedient." Without saying anything, take everyone to congratulate Kuai, and there should still be a number of courtesies.
Although Kuai Yu was put on the throne, he didn't even have a single soldier under him, and the land of Weiguo was either in his father's hands or occupied by the Zhao family. Zhao Wuxian helped him to come to power, just wanting to recruit the Guardian Doctor and the countrymen, and at the same time justifiably occupy the name of the Patriotic Empire.
Finally, Kuai is not stupid, he can recognize his identity, he continued to obey Zhao Wuxian's orders after he "ascended the throne", his attitude was very respectful, and he didn't know that he thought he was like Zhao's minister......
The eyes of others don't care, he understands that only after defeating Emperor Qiu and forcing his father Yuan to abdicate can his throne be stable!
With this kind of thought, before the king's couch of the Chuqiu Palace was hot, Kuai Yu immediately signed one traitorous secret agreement after another with Zhao Wuxian.
Wei Hou Yuan bit the Punan and Jixi lands that did not let go, but he was waved by Kuai Yu, admitting that this is the territory of friendly countries such as Lu State, Song State, Cao State, etc., it is really a cub who sells Ye Tian is not heartbroken, if it reaches Wei Hou Yuan's ears, I am afraid that he will be so angry that he vomits blood.
In Chuqiu and other newly conquered areas, before the local order is restored, the Zhao clan will be asked to maintain order on their behalf, and the "Wei Hou" Kuai Yu will organize the local patriots to establish a new army as soon as possible to protect the territory and the people, and at the same time assist the Zhao clan in collecting grain and labor.
Even the "state" of this puppet regime, that is, the ruling party, Zhao Wuxian has found a good job for Kuai Yu.
"Kong Yuan?"
Kuai Yu was stunned, he didn't expect this candidate at all, because Kong Yu was still in Diqiu, and he didn't come to him at all.
