Chapter 200: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
The feudal domains pressed the territory, and several provinces in the northwest openly rebelled on the grounds of forgery of edicts and the death of Zhenzong, claiming that they would invade Chang'an and re-support the crown prince to ascend the throne.
King Jin ascended the throne on the second day and became the emperor, that is, His Majesty Emperor Yan, while carrying out a state funeral for Emperor Zhenzong, he suppressed those families and nobles who had small actions in Chang'an City with lightning speed and iron-blooded means.
After that, ignoring the border troops in the north and west, which had been defeated and retreating, he directly pressed all the 50,000 forbidden troops and the hundreds of thousands of troops requisitioned from Henan Province and Jiangnan Province to the northwest. The rebel army, which claimed to be 300,000 troops, was defeated in one fell swoop, and the northwest provinces were recovered in a month, and several Jiedu envoys and generals were all wiped out.
Then he surrendered troops from the northwest provinces, and sent all of them to the north and west, and made meritorious contributions to block the offensive of Beili and Tubo, but in the end, there was not one in the northwest army.
After that, Emperor Yan's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion, and Emperor Yan showed the ability not to lose to Emperor Zhenzong in military and court affairs. Moreover, in the following years, the northern feudal domains rejected Beili, reopened Longyou Road in the west, and reestablished the four towns of Anxi, which can be regarded as the current Dawan territory.
The original His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yan Hong was also canonized King Xiang, and he was also regarded as a figure below one person and above ten thousand people in Dawan.
And more than ten years ago, because Emperor Yan had no prince under his knees, there were courtiers who gave advice to Emperor Yan to make King Xiang the crown prince. However, the matter was put on hold until the queen gave birth to the eldest prince, which could be regarded as blocking the mouths of those people.
However, after all, Emperor Yan's succession to the throne was a bit unjustifiable, so over the years, there has been quite a controversy in the government and the opposition about who Emperor Yan is located in.
And the eldest prince is now ten years old. His Majesty still ignored the advice of the ministers of the court and the central government, which added another layer of fog to this matter.
Emperor Yan wanted to return the throne to King Xiang. Or is it passed on to the eldest prince, or the second prince born to the queen of the current mother's world.
This is the current Dawan court. The most acute, but not the most important thing to discuss on the surface.
King Xiang's faction is mostly the remnants of the previous dynasty, as well as those ministers who were carried up by the remnants of the previous dynasty and have now become the pillars of the court.
The reason why Zeng Fuzi left Chang'an fifteen years ago, returned to his hometown, and returned to Chongzhou Academy as the president is said to be related to a joint letter that year, requesting King Lixiang as the crown prince.
Emperor Yan refused to write this time. Soon after, some of the ministers involved in this matter were impeached because of the imperial history, or transferred abroad, or directly stripped white.
Although Zeng Fuzi was not on the list, he was sick at home for a long time, and soon asked to return to his hometown.
It is said that Emperor Yan also personally came to the door three times to stay, and at that time, he was in charge of Zhongshu Province and was already a very popular minister, and finally took a carriage. He left Chang'an in the autumn of that year.
After the dismissal of the dynasty that day, Emperor Yan held the hand of Zeng Fuzi and said that he had the idea of going out of the mountain again. There is a place for him in Taiming Palace.
However, Zeng Fuzi has returned to his hometown for fifteen years, and he has never stepped into Chang'an for half a step, and Emperor Yan often mentions Zeng Fuzi in the court. As for the national teacher who didn't know where to go, he never mentioned it again.
At that time, Zeng Fuzi left the officialdom because of the appointment of King Xiang as the crown prince, so it is conceivable what the attitude of Zeng Lijing, who is now in the Ministry of Officials, should be.
The information brought by Wuya does not record that Zeng Lijing had a secret relationship with King Xiang. There was no name on that ledger, which shows that Zeng Lijing did not show support for King Xiang's faction.
But there is no cliff to give him a share of these years. The promotion of officials of King Xiang's faction, several names outlined in it, and the speed of evaluation and promotion are all a bit fast.
However, the promotions of these people are staggered, if it weren't for Wuya outlining them, and listing things such as evaluations behind, Xu Mingyuan wouldn't have been able to see it at all.
So regardless of whether Zeng Lijing is from King Xiang's faction, he is still helping King Xiang intentionally or unintentionally. Whether there was any instruction from Master Zeng in this, Xu Mingyuan didn't know, but this matter always made him a little annoyed.
Xu Mingyuan put the two letters into an ancient book on the shelf, paced back and forth in the room for a while, and went through all these things in his mind, but he really couldn't think of any good solution, so he had to give up.
During this time, he read a lot of information about the Suzaku Room, and Xu Mingyuan also understood that the factional dispute between the DPRK and China was more complicated than he imagined.
Now he is just a small pawn who can't get into the big guys, and if it weren't for the assassination that almost changed the three-legged situation, he would not even be known.
Speaking of the assassination in the hunting ground a month ago, Chen Qiao later briefly talked to him about the results. The Northern Ya Forbidden Army was purged, and one-third of the Yulin Army was eliminated from the forbidden army, and they left Chang'an and rushed to the northern border in the snow.
A deputy commander of the Yulin Army and four staff generals raided their homes, all the men were killed, and the female dependents were filled into the workshop. As for those ordinary Yulin soldiers who died in the prison, I don't know how many.
And because of this matter, the Yuntai Division was also involved, although most of the intelligence and protection matters were done by the Vermilion Bird Room and the White Tiger Room, but because the hunting ground was too large, the Xuanwu Room and the Qinglong Room would also allocate people to be responsible for an area.
It was the people in charge of the Xuanwu room who were in charge of that place that day, and although all the people in the Xuanwu room were dead and no one participated in the assassination, there were still a few people in the Xuanwu room who were taken away by the people of the criminal department.
Chen Qiao didn't say much about the follow-up to Xu Mingyuan, but it is conceivable that because of that incident, more people died quietly than Xu Mingyuan and the white wolves they pulled out.
Xu Mingyuan walked out of the room, Yi had already pasted the window flowers, and was standing in the courtyard talking to Qi Yueru, but most of them were Qi Yueru talking, Yi was listening, and even Qi Yueru could hear Qi Yueru's silver bell-like laughter, which was much more cheerful than a month ago.
Chinese New Year's Eve, farewell to the old and welcome the new, Qin Zhaoyu, who originally did not want to come to join the young people's excitement, could not withstand the coquettishness of his lover, and was finally brought over by Yi in a carriage and a black cat.
Xu Mingyuan also called Wuya and Lao Lei, Leng Ye and Chu Yue didn't want to be lively, Lao Lei still had wives and children at home, so he spent the New Year at home, and finally Wuya came.
Six people, plus a lame black cat and a small snow wolf that has grown a lot, Qi Mansion has also become a little lively.
Xu Mingyuan cooked a few specialty dishes, Qi Yueru also cooked two, and Xiao Xia solved the rest.
Xu Mingyuan, Qin Zhaoyu and Wuya drank four jars of wine, and drunk Qin Zhaoyu and Wuya, Xu Mingyuan was also a little drunk, but he was not completely drunk.
Yi sent Qin Zhaoyu back first, Xu Mingyuan poured a cup of tea for Wuya, and he was a little sober after drinking it, but he still listened to Xu Mingyuan, and waited for Yi to come back and send him back.
Qi Yueru had already returned to the room, Xiao Xia cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Xu Mingyuan and Wuya sat on the chairs in the living room, with a cup of tea on the coffee table at hand.
The two were silent and did not speak, and after a while, Xu Mingyuan said softly: "Tomorrow, tomorrow it's time to do something that needs to be done." ”
Wuya's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then turned to look at Xu Mingyuan's side face, was silent for a while, and nodded.
Yi came back after a while, helped Wuya out of the door, and left.
Xu Mingyuan sat in the living room for a while, and after drinking the cup of tea, he went back to the room.
