Chapter XVIII: The King of Joseon
When Emperor Mourning knew that Bingheng had passed away, he also regretted it and ordered someone to build a tomb for him in Buxian. When Weiman heard that Bingheng had passed away, he said to the right channel: "Bingheng is a god, one person can be worth 300,000 troops, if only we had such a guest!" Right channel: "Bingheng recommended two people before his death, that is, Tianhao Dao people and natural Dao people, we might as well persuade one person to stay in Xubei and guard the western boundary, how about it, if you are a capable person, you can send one person in front!" Wei Man said: "This is very true! ”
Youqu led the knight guards and chased the two Taoists in the direction of the field, and said: "You are all people who have attained the Tao, you are not only the king of the world, but also the western realm is also an important town in the north of the void, the Shenzhou army will invade from time to time, my grandfather Weiman is polite to the guests, can you leave one person to help defend it!" Tianhao said to nature: "My brother is good at guarding, you can stay, and my brother is good at attacking and going to King Hu to help!" "Naturally obey my brother's orders and go with the right ditch.
Yi fell into grief, and the white dog left by Bingheng watched the field all day long, and the white dog smelled people's sadness, and stood quietly. One day, I suddenly saw a person coming, and said to Yi: "I am a person from Tianhao Dao, come to fulfill Brother Heng's unfulfilled wish, King Hu must not be sad, let us embark on a journey!" ”
After that, Tianhao Daoist assisted King Hu to easily take the car and Fan and Sulu City, the army marched bravely, King Hu asked Tianhao Daoist Wang Yang Dao: "Senior brother said before his death, you need to gather the wisdom of Tianhao and natural two people to determine the Xiongnu, now although it is easy to take the two cities, but the land of the Xiongnu is vast, why not call the natural Taoist people to help!" Tianhao Daoren smiled: "King Hu rest assured, I am good at enterprising, and King Hu is also enterprising, I am enough!" After that, King Hu, under the plan of Tianhao Daoren, took the city lightly, and King Hu no longer mentioned the matter of the two of them merging.
It is said that when Mao Dun received the third envoy of King Hu to convey that he wanted the horse to run for another day, he gathered a group of ministers to discuss, and many courtiers said to Mao Dun: "Su Wen that piece of land is a barren land, give it!" Some courtiers said angrily: "It's okay to let the horse sacrifice your wife, why bother for a piece of land!" Some courtiers said: "The Wuhuan army is like lightning, and it is said that it has taken a few cities lightly, if you can cut the wasteland and let its soldiers retreat!" When Mao Dun heard this, he was furious and said, "Land is the foundation of the country, how can it be ceded to others!" Then let the left and right push out all the courtiers who advocated the land cession and behead them, and no one dared to mention the matter of land cession after that.
One night, Mao Dun had a strange dream, dreaming that golden light was emitting from his arms, and when he was busy checking his clothes, a peacock flew out of it and flew into the sky. Mao Dun woke up, I don't know what it means, at this time someone reported the military situation, saying that King Hu's army gathered again, coming to the north, Mao Dun said: "Pass the order, gather the Xiongnu brave, I will personally conquer King Hu!" "The Xiongnu army came down from the north and fought a continuous war with King Hu.
It is said that the mourning emperor of Xubei is old and sick, and it has become more serious in the past few days, lying on the sickbed. When the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao came to see them, they all had sad faces. Emperor Wai asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything important?" Taishi said: "There are rumors in the royal court that the Wei family has an anti-royal court in the western realm, and they all say that after King Hu went on the expedition, there was no force to restrain each other, and now my emperor has been sick on the couch for a long time, I don't know what to do!" The Wai Emperor said: "You are too worried, that Wei is a sincere person, and he will never betray the royal court!" When everyone saw that the Emperor of Mourning said this, they had no choice but to retreat.
In the days that followed, Emperor Wai became more seriously ill, and he didn't even recognize anyone, and Emperor Wai's ninety-nine sons also formed their own private parties and started a power struggle. Taifu Jianping said to Taishi Qinan: "How about I lead the soldiers of the royal court to pacify the western realm!" Taishi said: "The royal court has become like this, and it is powerless to deal with foreign affairs!" In the end, in the power struggle, all the sons thought that the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were above the royal court, blocking the road to power, and then they assassinated a number of old ministers, only the Taibao was not poisoned, because they held the guards, no one dared to offend.
Wei Man summoned Youqu to discuss: "Grandson, the royal court is in chaos now, I'm afraid it's not good for us!" Right channel: "The royal court that has been around for more than a thousand years is about to collapse, why don't we replace it!" Wei Man said: "We can destroy the royal court, but we can't replace the royal court, its influence dominates many subject countries, if the royal court is destroyed, it will definitely attract the countries of the Void North to besiege us!" Wei Man sighed again: "Some people in the royal court have always suspected that my Wei family is rebelling, and I don't know what the future monarch thinks!" Youqu also sighed: "What a dilemma! ”
A few days later, someone reported to the guard, saying: "Emperor Wai has recovered a lot from his illness, his mind is much clearer, and he has gone around arresting the people who murdered important ministers during his serious illness, and he has already beheaded three sons, and I also saw Taibao supporting Emperor Wai to inspect Wang Jiancheng!" Wei Man said to himself: "Could it be that the Emperor is healed!" At this time, Wang Jun, a natural Taoist, visited him, and Wei Man told Wang Jun about his situation. Wang Jundao: "Doctor, people are about to die, if the emperor is gone, no one will believe you, the new policy of the royal court will directly point to the soldiers of the important towns in the western realm and sanction the Wei family!" Wei Man said: "I never thought of rebellion, it was the emperor who gave me a favor and gave me a fief!" Wang Jun laughed and said, "Then which prince do you think can take the throne?" Wei Man said: "There are many sons, and the power is the same, I don't see any prince who dominates the leader, and he is responsible for leading!" Wang Jun said: "Then do you know what your grandson thinks every day?" Wei Man said: "He wants to make meritorious contributions, be diligent in military and political affairs, and glorify the Wei family!" Wang Jundao: "The number of days has been set, the situation is pressing, why not take your fate into your own hands!" Wei Man said: "Overthrow the royal court, how is it good that you will be infamous through the ages!" Wang Jun said: "There are thousands of years in the world!" With that, the natural Taoist left.
Wei Man made up his mind, Pegasus wrote to Emperor Wai, and lied: The Emperor of Shenwu is above, the Liu family of Shenzhou heard that the Xubei invaded the Xiongnu, and learned that the Emperor Wai Huang Long was seriously ill and intensified the invasion of the territory.
When Emperor Mourning received Wei Man's military information, all the ministers discussed: "If he comes, it is equivalent to letting the tiger go next to the pillow!" The courtiers were disgusted. Emperor Mourning said to Taibao: "Now that we are heavily conscripting the Huns, and I heard that I am seriously ill, Shenzhou must want to take advantage of the weakness, it is better to call Wei Man back to guard the royal city!" The ministers strongly persuaded the emperor and said: "If you are really a great sage, why did you let the royal court be in turmoil when I was sick and unconscious!" "After that, I went to bed. The ministers looked at each other, and they all left speechless.
With the permission of the Emperor of Mourning, Wei Man put on his horse, majestic and energetic, and personally led the army eastward. You Qu saw it and said: "Why bother grandpa to go in person, if you don't fight for a long time, where can you kill the enemy!" Wei Man laughed and said, "I'm about the same age as the quasi-old, but he has been sick for a long time, have you ever seen your grandfather sick!" Youqu said with a smile: "Then I hope that grandpa will live a long life and watch his grandson make contributions!" Wei Man said: "My life is comparable to Peng Zu, this is my destiny!" After hearing this, Youqu laughed and said, "That's very good! When the soldiers on the side heard this, they all burst out laughing.
The Weijia army walked like the wind, not a day to Wang Jiancheng, and stationed down, the people of the royal court saw the military appearance of the Weijia army and were very admired, Wei Man took hundreds of knights into the royal court, and saw the mourning emperor said: "There are no invading soldiers in Shenzhou, but some people in the royal court have always said that I Wei Man rebelled, I know that the emperor trusts me, and I am gracious, but unfortunately the emperor has no real dragon son, and can not be compared with the emperor, now Wei Man maintains the stability of the royal city, and after the emperor returns to heaven peacefully, Wei Man succeeds to do the world's affairs!" After hearing this, Emperor Mourning reluctantly smiled and said: "Why don't you let me follow Yao Shun, Zen is in you!" Wei Man said: "I want to protect the emperor and be on the throne in this life!" Wai Huang said: "You and I have different surnames, An can succeed me, do you want to ruin the royal court for more than a thousand years?" Wei Man said: "The number of days is like this, and changing the dynasty is also a common thing in Shenzhou, without the deep-rooted influence of the Jizi Royal Court, although the Wei family may not be able to build a court, but at least we can start from the founding of the country!" The Wai Emperor said angrily: "You rebel! Finger Wei Man fainted.
Wei Man saw that the mourning emperor was in decline, so he didn't say much, and naturally retreated.
Taibao came to see the mourning emperor and said: "Emperor, although the soldiers of Weiman are brave, I am also the first general of the royal court, and I will raid Weiman tonight to relieve the emperor's worries!" He said and retreated.
Late at night, a royal court guard killed to the Wei Man camp, for a time the fire rushed to the sky, Wei Man hung up, ordered people to fight back, someone had already reported, the right canal led the crowd to stab Jian Ping Wan Jian to death, but the loyal Jian Ping Taibao died and still knelt in the direction of the palace. After Wei Man heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to bury the sword flat.
Wei Man ordered people to arrest all the princes, and a total of more than 40 people were captured in the royal city, and they were taken to see the mourning emperor, Wei Man angrily reprimanded the prince in front of the mourning emperor and said: "Your father and the emperor gave each of you a separate feudal land, but you heard that your father was seriously ill, so he ran back to the royal city to seek power and usurp the throne, which really made your ancestors ashamed!" Emperor Wai said: "Wei Man, I still have a good boy who has not entered the royal city to obey the will!" Wei Man ignored the Emperor and said: "I know why the Wei family will replace you, it's that you are not united enough!" The Emperor of Mourning sighed: "Are you full of sin against me!" Wei Man said: "Forgive me for not thinking about kindness, please leave the throne quickly, so as not to cause another incident!" ”
The next day, Wang Jiancheng held an enthronement ceremony, and Wei Man, known as the king of Joseon, ascended the throne of the king, claiming to inherit all the territory of the Jizi royal court, and anyone who did not submit would be defeated. Wei Man was dressed in royal clothes, and his fingers were pointed: "In the future, you will be the lord of Han, and you will not be the emperor for the rest of your life, so go south with your unfilial sons!" "The sick and old Emperor Mourning, who was once dominant, was now ousted from the throne by the former exiles, and with the support of his sons, he left Wang Jiancheng, and none of the courtiers dared to see him off.
As soon as they left the city gate, they were killed by a group of soldiers, and they escaped by sea with their sons, while the lost heirs were left in Korea to live a life under the pretending to be Han.
