On the seventh day of the second month of the seventh year of Xiande, Zhang Yue led six combat divisions and two auxiliary divisions all the way through Luoyang Mansion in Xijing and arrived in the western suburbs of Xingyang, Zhengzhou. The court sent the bachelor of Hanlin, Dou Yan of Taichang Temple, and Song Yanwu, the inspector of the school, and Song Yanwu, the envoy of Yicheng Jiedu, to announce the edict of the army.

Zhang Yue knew in his heart, as early as when the army was out of the division, he received an urgent report from Li Duoshou: In the middle of the first month, Huainan Li Chongjin led 40,000 troops from seven states in Huainan to recruit Zhao Kuangyin. Zhang Yongde led 10,000 sailors out of Xiapi to contain Xuzhou Wang Xianqi; Riding 30,000 people from the water and land to the north and conquering Suzhou.

In the face of Li Chongjin going north, Zhao Kuangyin had already prepared, he only defeated Han Tong last winter, drove Zhang Yongde to seize Xu and Su Erzhou, but his command was full of talents, and he controlled these two states very tightly, deliberately delayed, and waited for Li Chongjin to go north to Yongcheng, and then sent Shi Shouxin to recapture Chrysalis Bridge and Fuli, cutting off Li Chongjin's way back. Later, Wang Xianqi also broke Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin led the main force to the south, Li Chongjin realized that it was not good, and when he returned to Fuli, he was attacked from three sides, and the whole army was defeated and captured.

After Zhang Yongde was defeated, he first fled back to Sizhou, but was almost arrested by the Xiapi County Order, and fled to Huaiyin in Chuzhou in a panic, and urgently recruited troops to deploy troops on the front line of Huaishui. After half a year of operation, Zhao Kuangyin adopted Zhao Pu's strategy of "guarding the inside and outside, and waiting for work with ease", gradually owned the six states of Huaibei, and extended his influence to Yingzhou and Shouzhou.

Although Songzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture bordered the city, the sailors could come to Tokyo in two days, but Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to go north easily, and he was not sure to deal with the 50,000 elite soldiers in the hands of Li Chuyun, the guard division.

So far, the situation is still under control, Zhang Yue is not worried, and after the army is stationed in the camp, he summons Dou Yan and Song Yanwu to meet him. This Dou Yan is Dou Yi's younger brother, and the two brothers were originally close to Zhao Kuangyin, but it is estimated that they are now seeing the wind and making the rudder. And Song Yanwu and his father Song Tinghao have been concubines for two generations, purely a "leading the way" family.

There are two edicts brought by Dou Yan, one is the Ming edict, ordering Zhang Yue to send troops to Songzhou to quell the rebellion. There was nothing to say about this, Zhang Yue readily agreed.

The other is a secret edict sealed in a small wooden box, Zhang Yue cut open the seal with a paper cutter, and took out the edict that Huang Aya had framed and pasted, and there were only four words on it: Please supervise the country first!

Zhang Yue threw it on the ground and said angrily: "It's all at this time, what country is still in prison?" What did Fan Zhen's old Confucian say? ”

Dou Yan had no choice but to silently bow down and pick it up, and arched his hand: "Although His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, there is nothing wrong with it; The Queen Mother listened carefully to the government and was not unethical; Therefore, the abdication ......"

"Didn't pass, did you? You go back and tell them that they must abdicate and that there is no room for bargaining! Zhang Yue's expression was stern, he didn't want to compromise on this matter.

Abdication and Zen are very different, abdication means the demise of a dynasty, and all the resources in the world are at the disposal of the victor, that is, this big cake can be cut how you want. And the Zen position is only replaced, and then the country name, official system, current officials, etc., are not said to be able to move. If Zhang Yue accepts the Zen concession, it means that he has entered the old framework, and he will have to reuse the current officials for a period of time, which is not what he wants to see.

Zhang Yue sent Dou Yan and Song Yanwu back to Beijing, and led the army to continue to march to Tokyo, arriving in Zhongmu on the ninth day of the first month, and ordered Zong Jingcheng and Li Duofu to lead the first, second, and fourth divisions with two auxiliary divisions, and turned south to Chenliu, only waiting for Dengzhou Xuan Chongwen to lead 20,000 Wusheng troops to arrive, and then exterminate Zhao Kuangyin.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Zhang Yue led his troops to Yuetai Town, a western suburb of Tokyo, and hundreds of high-ranking civil and military officials, including Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Han Zhongming, Chen Jia, Murong Yanzhao, Dong Zunzhi, Bian Guiyan, Li Tao, and Fu Yanlin, went out of the city to greet him.

Because the day before, the early dynasty, and the last early dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the empress dowager officially issued an edict of abdication. This edict was not drafted by Zhongshu Fan Zhen and others, but by Bian Guiyan, which is said to be out of line with the system, but Zhongshu Province is about to be replaced by a new institution, the "Xuanzheng Yuan", and no one cares about the old rules.

Three days later, after Li Chuyun and Han Tong, Yang Tingzhang, Wang Huan, Song Yanwu and others agreed, Zhang Yue officially mobilized troops to garrison the city. First of all, of course, the imperial city, the inner hall straight, the east and west classes and other miscellaneous guard troops all assembled in the Jinxiangdian Square, and Zhang Yue's guard division Zhuang Shao, Ji Pingwen to handle the settlement, handed over weapons and armor, more than 20,000 soldiers only wore military uniforms and drove out of the east camp outside the city, waiting for reorganization.

The inner and outer cities were handed over to the Guards Division, and all the city defense arrangements were handed over to Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan, while Gao Changhai of the Fifth Division and Du Yanhui of the Seventh Division led their troops to the camp of the Guards Division in the west of the city and were temporarily on standby. The rest of the tens of thousands of troops such as the front division of the palace and the naval division of the forbidden army will also return to the camp and will also be reorganized at that time.

The defense arrangements of the inner and outer cities were in place, and the chamberlains and palace people in the palace performed their duties. Zhang Yue sent people into the palace to order Yang Sicheng and Dong Guangmai to arrange for the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor to move to a mansion outside Donghua Gate.

On February 20, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Yang Sicheng and Dong Guangmai prepared a guard of honor to come to serve Zhang Yue to bathe, and set up a mound in the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth.

Even if they take the initiative to kneel down, it is not certain whether they can be reused, the pedestrian division has become a scale, but it is not an ornament, the personal resume files of these officials, Zhang Yue is clear. And Fan Zhen is a stubborn and conservative old Confucian, Zhang Yue doesn't plan to use him at all, so he naturally ignores it.

After the sacrifice was completed, Zhang Yue ordered the Tiantai officials of the division to divinate in public, and the hexagram was like leaving the upper and lower Xunxia, which was the "Ding" hexagram. A group of civil and military people, under the guidance of the inner servants, all the way into the Suzaku Gate, Xuande Gate, Xuanyou Gate, into the Jinxiang Palace.

The chamberlain led Zhang Yue to the side hall and changed into a dark crown with twelve crowns, twelve chapters of gowns and bottoms. After several open and secret battles, Zhang Yue was very calm in his heart, and took a picture of the big bronze mirror, and was very dissatisfied with this emperor's "crown".

This dress is made in a hurry, the silk material is not breathable, and it is like a plastic bag when worn on the body, and in terms of style, it is different from the imperial clothing of the Qin and Han dynasties, and this can only be changed later.

In the melodious music, Zhang Yue's expression was serious, his hand pressed the jade belt and stepped up the imperial steps, and sat down with a wave of his big sleeves, and all the ministers came out one after another, bowed down and bowed: "Congratulations to my emperor on his ascension to the great treasure and the world!" ”

The ministers bowed three times, the ritual music stopped, and Zhang Yue waved his big hand and said: "All the ministers are seated!" Listen to Xuan! ”

A group of civil and military officers lined up on both sides of the hall and sat down calmly. Feng Qianhou held the wat out and read out a speech of thousands of words in one breath, which is the edict of enthronement, not the edict of Zen, and the symbolic meaning is completely different. Emperor, how can he rob someone else's throne and find an excuse to attack the emperor for some impure guys.

The general idea is how chaotic the world is, how the feudal towns do evil, how the common people are miserable, and how weak the court is...... And the land of China is 30,000 miles, and the people's livelihood cannot be left without an owner, and they must want to promote the emperor's title. It is used to set up an altar in the sun of Bianshui on February 20 this year to prepare a ritual to announce to God that the emperor must have the name of the world called "Daqin", Jianyuan "Dinghe", Jane in the emperor's heart, still enjoyed.

Originally, even the enthronement ceremony was not like this, after the ceremony was completed, it was arranged by the salutant officer in front of the altar, commanded the music, and bowed, worshipped, flattened, wat, bowed, danced, knelt on the left knee, kowtowed three times, shouted repeatedly, knelt on the right knee, and went out of the wat, which was very cumbersome, and was changed by Zhang Yue and Feng Qianhou. And there is also kneeling, only half-kneeling, very rarely. Finally, the prime minister presented the imperial treasure, that is, the jade seal, which has a total of 12 pieces, each with different functions.

But Fan Zhen and others took away the imperial treasure used in the Chinese book, and only the emperor and queen were still in the palace, and they were still waiting for Zhang Yue to beg him for the imperial treasure, and then it was good to talk about the conditions, but Zhang Yue didn't bird him, and he didn't plan to use this old imperial treasure, it was much better to use the steel seal.

"Three things! Proposed edict! In the court, the emperor rarely speaks, but Zhang Yue is obviously different, he always has his own ideas, then he raised four fingers and shook it, and said: "It is scheduled to be the founding ceremony on the first day of May, worship the Taimiao, and then canonize it, and there is a division to prepare it as soon as possible."

Since the Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng has been impregnated, and there are many people who have Hu clothes and Hu customs along the border of the north, and the local government should persuade them, and those who do not change after repeated teachings will be arrested and exiled! The civil and military official uniforms, dresses, and etiquette of the dynasty are often out of date, and the edict will be changed on a later date. Retreat! ”

Several Zhongshu Sheren and Tongshi Sheren were all petty officials, and they didn't dare not come, so they all looked at Feng Qianhou with their eyes, and when they saw him nodding, they hurriedly drafted the edict, and then it was to be issued.

Zhang Yue strode back to the apse, he was going to change his clothes, only he lived in the Jinxiang Hall on the first day, and he could pick up his wife and concubines and children to move into the palace tomorrow. However, he didn't like this palace, and it would take about five to ten years for the military and political system to be fully perfected, and then the capital could be moved.

There are canals and sea routes for dual transportation and supply, and Beiping Mansion is the best choice as a springboard for cutting Liao and as the capital, and Zhang Yue already has a case in his heart.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Postscript: On the tenth day of March in the first year of Dinghe, the governor of Songzhou Xingying, Zong Jingcheng, the deputy governor Li Duofu and other generals of 50,000, rebelled against the stone before the defeat of Ningling, and after the fifth day of the Song City, marched to Xiayi, and the governor of the camp in Huaibei Xuanchongwen Kehaozhou. The two still divided their troops to attack, Xuan Chongwen Lianke Suzhou, Sizhou, to Huaiyin to surrender Zhang Yongde, ordered to be sent to Tokyo, and then waved the army to the north, to Pengcheng and Zong Jingcheng to attack Zhao Kuangyin, after ten days of Kecheng, the army commanded the above generals to behead it.

It coincided with the civil strife in Liao, and there was no army in Beijing to aid the south, until the end of the war in the winter moon, and the key places of the fortress were restored, and only Yingzhou was far away in Liaodong in the sixteen states of Youyun in the past.

In the spring of the second year of Dinghe, Qian Hongyu, the lord of Wuyue, entered Beijing to surrender and surrendered. According to the final judgment of the Supreme People's Court of the Great Qin Empire, 26 monarchs and ministers of the Liu family of the Northern Han Dynasty in Taiyuan, and 120 people, including Song Yanwu, Li Hongxin, and Li Hongyi, who had been traitors since the fifth dynasty, were convicted of 36 charges of traitor, treason, etc., and were hanged under the banner of the commander of the southern suburbs.

In the first month of the spring of the fifth year of Dinghe, Emperor Xingbeiping Mansion was divided into two roads, with the Imperial Forbidden Army, the Northern Frontier Army, and 200,000 auxiliary soldiers as the main force. Bian Ji led the border guards and auxiliary soldiers of 100,000 steps on the west road, rode out of Datong Mansion to attack Yinshan and Reverse Ridge in the north, beheaded more than 20,000 ranks, captured more than 30,000 accounts of Tatar and other Liao affiliated tribes, and moved to the north of Fengzhou, south of Yinshan Nuozhenshui to build a city, in order to prepare for the use of cutting down Mobei.

After the war, the Wugu enemy in the northwest of Liao, Huanglongfu, Changchun Road Qianbo Envoy and other places continued to rebel.
