Chapter 219: Imperial Discussion

The next day, the sun has just risen from the horizon, and a red sun is rising in the east, illuminating Jinling City on the banks of the Qinhuai River, but today's temperature is a little hot, and there is very little moisture in the air.

For everyone, Jiangning Mansion has been completely under the hands of the Song, Han and Wu Yue armies, and the people of the Tang State in Jinling City have already known the news, and they are more shocked, because the night before yesterday was basically bloodless, and the movement in the city was very small, but some crimes committed by those soldiers of Wu Yue made them a little afraid, but fortunately, the officers of the Song army began to come forward to explain all this on the second day, and then sent people to visit the streets door to door, preaching their Song Emperor's policy towards the enemy, They can grudgingly accept it.

But the next thing is to be handed over to Han Xizai and those ministers, who are the best at dealing with national affairs. Today is to appease the people, announce the abolition of the emperor and deal with post-war matters, and today's court discussion is also to make the people of the Tang Kingdom better accept outsiders.

Therefore, early this morning, there were attendants from the Yellow Gate in the Tang Palace who went to the city to inform Tang officials everywhere to discuss some post-war government affairs.

After noon, the court meeting was held in the Guangzheng Palace, at this moment all the officials in the hall were wearing official uniforms, and this time there were also the generals of the Three Kingdoms and the officials who went out with the army, so everyone stood in the hall one by one, Rao is so, the spacious Guangzheng Hall is all crowded with people, and there is no empty space.

Such a formal wide robe and court clothes, and the hall was crowded with people, and when they moved at will, they sweated like rain, so that the officials were so hot that they wanted to take off their clothes, and their hearts were also anxious, and today's discussion of post-war internal affairs was mostly about the affairs of the Tang State.

The person who presides over the affairs of the court today is Wang Pu, Wang Pu's qualifications are the oldest among all officials, the elder of the two dynasties, once the ruler, at this moment, I saw that his expression was very serious, and the eyes of the officials below were also like torches.

The rest of the officials standing in the hall also looked towards Wang Pu, and what they saw was Wang Pu squinting his eyes, carefully probing everyone, as if he wanted to see everyone's hearts and get a glimpse of their thoughts.

These ministers also turned their attention to Wang Pu, they more or less knew some of the contents of today's court discussions, and they naturally knew that the most talked about by the common people on the streets and in the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and markets these days was about the post-war Tang State, and this problem also needed to be solved urgently.

It's just that at this point, Wang Pu thinks that although Li Congqing has been eliminated nominally, it seems that everything intends to return the state politics of the (Southern) Tang Dynasty to Li Yu, but the generals of the Great Song Dynasty know that Li Yu and other family members are now in the capital, and the official family will not give the fruits of the war to others at will.

Wang Pu was sitting precariously, and soon the court discussion began, and everyone raised their anxious eyes and looked at Wang Pu again.

Wang Pu cleared his throat and began: "Now that the rebellious Li Congqing has been taken down, and the traitor has been eradicated, it's just that the affairs of the Tang Kingdom are erosive and need to be dealt with urgently. ”

Officials also have their own opinions, and their attention to the future of Tang Guo is also very high.

Zhao Dezhao has been standing aside, listening to Wang Pu and other important ministers discuss, because Wang Pu discussed with him all night last night, and Zhao Dezhao knows what he said today.

What's more, he suddenly appeared in the Guangzheng Palace, and there was also a smell of conspiracy that made the Tang officials feel a sense of conspiracy, after all, a few months ago, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, suddenly disappeared into the palace before and after the palace caught fire, but this matter, all the Tang officials did not ask about it, and they have been secretive. Even Wang Pu's explanation was only ambiguous, saying that it was the King of Wei, Hongfu Qitian, who was hiding outside, so he escaped Li Congqing's killing.

At the beginning, it was Li Yu's handwritten letter and the dragon and phoenix jade pendant as evidence, which were presented to those Tang officials, and when these officials saw Li Yu's handwritten letter and the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, they began to point fingers at the puppet emperor Li Congqing, and bitterly Chen Li Congqing scolded Li Congqing for the crime of killing his brother and usurping the throne because of the throne.

Zhao Dezhao watched the performance of these Tang officials from the sidelines, and he felt a burst of disdain in his heart, when Li Congqing usurped the throne, these officials were attached to Li Congqing for glory and wealth, and now Li Congqing has become a prisoner, these officials began to break away from Li Congqing, and turned to denounce their masters.

The Guangzheng Palace fell into a scolding, this time the Tang State was the mainstay, the rebellious Li Congqing was the defendant, Li Yujunchen was the plaintiff, and the other three countries were like arbitration judges and juries, completely setting criminal responsibility for the plaintiff and the defendant.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yu's edict stamped with Li Tang's national seal and the Song Emperor's document against thieves were issued to the officials.

The officials knew what to say and what not to say, and some officials of the Tang State had nothing to say at the moment, and Wang Pu was extremely reasonable, and every word was also in his heart.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei and other generals only listened to Wang Pu say this from the sidelines, and they basically acted as spectators and staff to maintain order on the scene.

…… The whole government lasted all morning, and in the end there were some results, but they were all things on the surface, only those affairs in the secret were discussed by their own people.

At present, pacification is the most effective means, for the government affairs and military affairs of the Tang State, the civilian officials are Han Xizai, Gong Shenyi, Xu Xuan and others, they are also famous among the Tang State Shilin, and deal with the government affairs of the Tang State; On the military attaché's side, the forbidden army was handed over to Lin Renzhao, and the rest was handed over to Yu Yan, Ma Chengjun, Lu Jiang and others to handle military affairs.

As for Chen Qiao, he is also very famous among Tang Guoshi, since Chen Qiao does not want to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao is not reluctant, if the Great Song Dynasty opens a new academy another day, it can let Chen Qiao be a pedant in the academy, and the rest of the officials like Chen Qiao have also been treated like this, and they have not wasted their talents.

As for the pacification of the people, the new policy implemented in Jurong and Lishui was still used, and after this policy was issued, the resistance of the people in Jiangning Mansion was weakened, and they also supported the policy promulgated by the Song Emperor more.

As for the abolition of the emperor, it was handed over to Lin Renzhao, Lin Renzhao had Li Yu's edict in his hand, jade pendant, etc., he had the identity of the generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty, and then directly abolished the puppet emperor and welcomed back Li Yu, Han Xizai and other officials also pretended to send a guard of honor to welcome back Li Yu, and at this moment they also began to set off to Kaifeng cement road.

It's just that Li Yu is now in Kaifeng, and he will naturally never be able to return to Jiangning Mansion, which Lin Renzhao has long known, he is just making an appearance for the people of the world. As for Li Yu's return to submission and annexation to the country, I will have to explain it in a few days.

After the officials of the Tang State left, it was a military and political discussion between the three kingdoms.

As for the post-war events, such as this time the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Kuangyin widely spread the text, the army of the Three Kingdoms also began to return to China first, and this time to invite the (Southern) Han and Wu Yueguo to send troops to each other, Zhao Kuangyin has already thought about it, he feels that it is better to give some economic convenience, such as the opening of the market between the two countries, the Song State to Wu Yueguo to provide the construction of cement road, connecting the two routes from Runzhou to Hangzhou, which will also facilitate the transportation of the two places...... The rest will also give Wu Yueguo a little sweetness, as for the (southern) Han country, Zhi Tingxiao did not put forward any conditions.

This is a matter between the Three Kingdoms, and there are no Tang officials present, when the generals of the entire Three Kingdoms are discussing, Qian Yu's face is a little unnatural, he vaguely heard the meaning of Cao Bin's words, it seems that it is impossible to get the land from the Tang State.

Qian Yu suddenly remembered the words that Zhao Dezhao brought to Lin Renzhao that night, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, the soldiers sent troops to conquer and swept the battlefield, and it was inevitable that there would be military discipline that was not strict, but Zhao Dezhao ordered those soldiers who stole the people's property to receive twenty military sticks, which was equivalent to red. Bare. Naked on the skin, this time he personally led Wu Yue's army to the north to help, and he has already made a great contribution.

What's more, now that the war has been won, Qian Yu wants to get more interests to dominate, as for the Song State's plan to contribute manpower to build a cement road from Runzhou to Hangzhou, Qian Yu doesn't know what Song Guo's idea is, if this road is opened, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Wu Yueguo. It was because of the competition, and Qian Yu wanted to take this opportunity to occupy some Tang territories in Changzhou and other places.

The Song State naturally did not agree to Wu Yueguo's request, first, the battle to conquer the Tang Dynasty in general righteousness was a crusade against the puppet emperor and a battle to support orthodoxy, and after the war, Li Yu was also supported, and it did not involve land; If land is involved, naturally there is also a Han Kingdom that will intervene, but this time Zhi Tingxiao is very calm, and there is no action such as inviting merit and rewarding; Moreover, if they all cut the land of the Tang Kingdom, it is equivalent to fattening the Han and Wu Yue Kingdoms, which is also extremely unfavorable to the future deployment of the Great Song Dynasty.

Qian Li, who has always been known for his kindness, was angry this time, and went directly out of the Guangzheng Palace and walked to his camp, and then Zhao Dezhao, who heard the news, rushed directly to the place where Qian Yu was placed in the city, Zhao Dezhao wanted to know how Qian Li, who had always been weak, could be so firm.

However, when he thought of Qian Yu's performance, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered the monk in history who persuaded Qian Yu to return to the Great Song Dynasty to prolong his life, and the high monk extended his life as the heir of Deshao, Qian Yu believed in Buddhism and was keen on Buddhism.
