Chapter 306: Chaotianzi
Li Cunhuan thought about it and did not object. However, Li Cunhuan and his generals and ministers all made it clear that they would not participate in Li Keyong's funeral. This is already a kind of information, Hedong general, who dares to go? That is, Shi Jianjiao, who had just been released by Li Cunhuan and neither surrendered nor resisted, attended. Li Keyong used the righteous son he accepted before, and only Li Cunjin and Li Cunxian sent their sons to participate. The others were better and asked the servants to give a small gift, but it was not modest, it was a real small gift. You're welcome, pretending to be stupid, as if you don't know that the former master is buried today. Let Li Kening not be sad.
However, at this time, a few people will pay attention to Li Kening's sadness, becoming a king and defeating a villain, this is an iron law that will never change since ancient times.
…………
"Your Highness, the matter of the Son of Heaven needs to be dealt with as soon as possible!" Zhou Yanpet said it as tactfully as possible, but the people in the tent were not idiots, so they could naturally hear a little inexplicable and unclear meaning inside.
Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally, to be honest, Li Cunhuan really doesn't know what to do now. In order to prevaricate, Li Cunhuan claimed that the wound on his body had flare-up and he could not move, so he recuperated outside Taiyuan City. However, everyone knows that it is true that Li Cunhuan is injured, but he has not had a seizure, and he has not reached the point where he cannot move. Of course, no one would be stupid enough to pierce this thin layer of paper.
Li Cunhuan's visit to the Son of Heaven dragged on.
Li Cunhuan sighed after half a sound, "Do you say it's okay to be the emperor now?" ”
Zhou Yanpet frowned and did not speak.
Yang Shihou had already opened his mouth to support: "His Royal Highness is the true son of heaven, Zi Weixing is reincarnated, and he should naturally be the emperor!" ”
Li Cunhuan couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, whether he was the true son of heaven Li Cunhuan didn't know, after all, there is no one in the world who can compete with him now, and it is difficult to say who will laugh in the end, maybe it is possible to have a three-legged stand in the end. As for the reincarnation of Zi Weixing, Li Cunhuan knew that it must have been advocated by Yang Shihou, and in his previous life, he was just a little gentleman who was not enough to achieve big things and more than enough to achieve small things, and he was a fart Zi Weixing.
Zhou Yanchong on the side shook his head and said: "Your Highness, it is still very harmful to call the emperor now, and His Royal Highness ...... said in the past" Speaking of this, Zhou Yanchong seemed to realize that the words were inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his tone, and said: "General Guo (Chongtao) said that Luoyang killed Emperor Kangning by mistake in the past, which has caused dissatisfaction among the people of the world, so Wang Shifan is even more desperate. This is still the time that there were two emperors in the world, and they killed Emperor Kangning by mistake, and it can be said that for the orthodoxy of Emperor Qianning, all the talents in the world have already reacted to the distance, and Wang Shifan is even more desperate. If His Royal Highness is called the emperor, in other eyes, this will be the end of the Tang Dynasty's national fortunes. ”
Saying this, Zhou Yanpet glanced up at Li Cunhuan, but saw that Li Cunhuan's face was expressionless. couldn't help but be a little unpredictable about what Li Cunhuan meant, but Zhou Yanpet still said. "It is true that the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are in decline, but in the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Yu is too much of a mistake, so the people of the world think more about the Tang Dynasty. What's more, there are many people under His Royal Highness's command who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Zhang Chengye, the supervisor of the four towns, and Nie Yizhong, the master of Lu Long's imperial history, are its representatives! ”
Li Cunhuan thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although Zhang Chengye is not famous, he is Li Cunhuan's Xiao He, Lu Long's big butler. It is precisely because Zhang Chengye worked hard in the rear and guarded the base camp for Li Cunhuan that Li Cunhuan could calmly fight outside. Otherwise, if someone else comes, Li Cunhuan is afraid that he will go out on the expedition and be rebelled behind his back. In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing was not uncommon.
Although Nie Yizhong is not as important as Zhang Chengye, he can't mix sand in his eyes, and instead of Li Cunhuan inspecting the prefectures and counties, Li Cunhuan's group of civil and military officials are trembling and working, although small greed continues, but big greed is rare. And Nie Yizhong's gang of subordinates supervising the imperial history and patrolling are also a virtue with Nie Yizhong, and they are nicknamed Hades by Lu Long's officials. Hades refers to Nie Yizhong, and the little ghost refers to Nie Yizhong's subordinates to supervise the imperial history and patrol press. Needless to say, the little ghost is naturally the meaning of the little ghost.
One by one, no matter who you are, even Li Cunhuan was scolded by Nie Yizhong. However, these two people are still die-hard members of the Tang Dynasty, and they are people who have several major effects on Lu Long.
When Yang Shihou heard this, his face turned pale and he said viciously: "If you don't accept it, the last general will lead the troops over and use the sword to persuade them!" ”
When Li Cunhuan heard this, he scolded: "Go down! ”
When Yang Shihou heard this, his face collapsed, and he had no choice but to bow his hand to Li Cunhuan, so he retreated.
"Now get ready to go into town!" Li Cunhuan smiled bitterly. He admires Cao Ying a little now, thinking that several of Cao Ying's advisors and ministers were loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, so he insisted on letting Cao Ying handle it so that his son could ascend the throne safely. On the contrary, I am now anxious.
Zhou Yanpet opened his mouth at this time and said: "But the poor road also has a plan!" ”
"Oh?" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he looked at Zhou Yanpet with surprise on his face, not knowing what kind of surprise Zhou Yanpet would give him. "Best wishes! Let's talk about the entry into the city later! ”
Zhou Yanpet opened his mouth and said: "Although this plan cannot make His Highness the emperor, it can also allow His Highness to test the reactions of all parties on the one hand. On the other hand, it can also make the reaction of all parties less intense, and at the same time, let people loyal to the Tang Dynasty slowly accept the fact that His Highness will become the Son of Heaven in the future! ”
"Speak quickly!" Li Cunhuan was even happier when he heard this, and said urgently.
…………
It is unknown what Zhou Dewei and Li Cunhuan said, but after Li Cunhuan heard it, he asked Zhu Jilong and others to prepare for entering the city. Zhu Jilong, who thought that Li Cunhuan was still preparing to delay for a while, couldn't help but be a little caught off guard.
With the camp of the large army, a team of cavalry opened the way, wearing a white-feathered iron helmet with rough relief, a bright light armor shining in the sun, and the war horses under the crotch were all rare horses among the people. Behind them were spearmen with their heads held high, each dressed in half-body plate armor, scanning the crowd with a wary expression.
Behind is Li Cunhuan's car, and Li Cunhuan did not show his face. Staying in the palace carriage made by Zhou Yanpet, there are soldiers of the Iron Eagle on both sides, and there are ten masters of the Jinyi Guard on the car, all of whom are green forest thieves who are recruited from the rivers and lakes by the Jinyi Guard, maybe there is not much movement on the battlefield, but in the melee and fighting, they are a few points more powerful than the Iron Eagle soldiers under Li Cunhuan, and they are the best at assassination, and it is most suitable to use them to protect.
Although countless onlookers were attracted along the way, there was no assassin who didn't have long eyes to jump out. Li Cunhuan found that the greater the power, the less anyone dared to assassinate him. But think about it, assassins are also human beings, the more powerful they are, the greater their influence, and assassinating themselves, whether they succeed or not, I'm afraid that the assassin organization will not be able to eat and walk around.
"Your Highness, it's time to the palace!" Zhu Jilong reminded in a deep voice across the carriage.
"Yes!" Li Cunhuan answered, walked out of the carriage, a burst of dazzling sunlight came, Li Cunhuan raised his hand to block the sun, after half a sound, and when he got used to the sunshine, he got out of the carriage.
Now Li Cunhuan does not have a piece of armor, but he is injured on his body. Carrying more than ten or twenty pounds of iron lumps is not good for Li Cunhuan's wounds. Second, Li Cunhuan didn't bother to show his strength to the emperor like this, and Li Cunhuan didn't even wear a sword. He was just wearing a purple-red court robe with a wide jade belt around his waist.
Li Cunhuan held the jade belt with one hand, lifted the hem slightly with the other, and strode towards the palace. Now the palace is garrisoned by the Yuan Congjun under Ge Congzhou, and the eight soldiers guarding the palace gate immediately bowed their heads to show their respect when they saw Li Cunhuan coming, and it is estimated that the emperor does not have this treatment.
Li Cunhuan walked over slowly and said softly: "It's hard work!" ”
When the eight soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but get excited. Li Cunhuan didn't wait for them to say anything, he had already crossed over, and six people including Zhou Dewei, Yang Shihou, Ge Congzhou, Wang Maozhang, Zhu Jilong, and Feng Baodu hurriedly followed.
Although the number of people is not large, Li Cunhuan is not afraid of any tricks played by Emperor Li Qi, because the soldiers stationed in the palace are all soldiers of the Yuan Congjun under Ge Congzhou. It is estimated that Li Qi can command only more than 20 eunuchs and old and decrepit palace maids.
Li Cunhuan walked all the way and found that along the way, he had to say that Li Keyong was harsh on Li Qi. Although there are not a few palaces along the way, most of them are quite dilapidated, and there are only more than 40 palace houses in total. Although there are many trees and flowers along the way, it can be clearly seen that there is no repair, and it looks like a barren mountain and a wild mountain.
An attendant hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Li Cunhuan, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin, Chitose!" Chitose! Chichitose! ”
Li Cunhuan nodded, although he didn't inform Li Qi that he was coming, but in this palace, Li Qi still had a little eyeliner, so he naturally knew that Li Cunhuan was coming. This is not! Immediately, he sent an attendant to lead the way, so as to show that this palace was also his territory.
"Flatten! Where is Your Majesty? Li Cunhuan said in a deep voice, his voice quite majestic.
The chamberlain hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is reading "Spring and Autumn" in the imperial study. ”
Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally, waved his hand and said, "Lead the way!" ”
The chamberlain immediately led the way in front, looking like a dog.
Li Cunhuan doesn't care much, when he reaches his status, he can't blindly demand perfection. Although the dog's leg is not liked by Li Cunhuan, as the saying goes, since it exists, there is a reason for it. Therefore, Li Cunhuan neither scolded nor praised with a clear conscience.
The palace is not big, and Li Cunhuan soon came to the imperial study. Looking at the wooden door of the imperial study, Li Cunhuan stopped and muttered for a moment, and did not go straight inside, and said to the attendant who led the way: "You go in and report it!" ”
"Yes!" The chamberlain answered respectfully.
It didn't take long for a sharp voice that seemed to be pinching his throat to sound, "It is rumored that His Royal Highness the King of Qin and others are here!" ”
Only then did Li Cunhuan raise his steps and walk inside, and his own chamberlain opened the door of the imperial study. The light in the imperial study was good, and Li Cunhuan didn't need to adapt to the light, and at a glance, he saw the Tianyou Emperor Li Qi sitting behind the desk. It seems that Li Qi is not much younger than Li Cunhuan, not to mention thirty years old.
The appearance is delicate, there are two whiskers on the lips, there is also a short beard on the chin, and the eyes are a little puffy, it is estimated that I haven't slept well in the past few days.
"Weichen Li Cunhuan see Your Majesty!" Li Cunhuan bowed slightly to Li Qi and arched his hand. At the end, he added, "Shu Weichen is injured and can't pay full salutes!" ”
"Weichen Zhou Dewei (Ge Congzhou, Yang Shihou, etc.) see Your Majesty!" Zhou Dewei and the others in the back did not kneel and kowtow, and bowed their hands together, and finally found an excuse, "Shu Weichen and other armor can't be fully saluted!" ”
In fact, Zhou Dewei and they are just wearing light armor, where it is possible that they can't be full of courtesy, even if they can't be full of courtesy, they should be able to half bow (that is, kneel down on one knee), and where there is a big grue, forget it.
"Bold! is so rude in the face of the Holy Son of Heaven! A middle-aged man dressed as a literati beside Li Qi couldn't help but be angry and scolded.
Zhou Dewei and the others also ignored it, lowered their heads and didn't hear or see. Only Yang Shihou raised his head and looked at the literati with disdain. First, don't let me treat you as an emperor, you really think of yourself as an emperor.
The scribe trembled with anger, pointed at Yang Shihou with one hand and shouted angrily: "Who are you! So rude, bluntly speaking up about the Son of Heaven! ”
Fortunately, although this scribe was angry, he was not stupid enough to call someone to come in and drag Yang Shihou down to beat dozens of military sticks or something. With Li Cunhuan here, he shouted and cut his throat, and I am afraid that no one will dare to come in.
Li Cunhuan didn't pay attention to the scribe, and said directly: "Your Majesty is in charge of this, or is this person in charge?" Do you still want to be the son of heaven? Come on, pull it down, chop it and feed the dog! ”
Immediately, four armor soldiers rushed into the imperial study with murderous vigour, and walked towards the scribe with a hideous face.
Li Qi also knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly said: "King Qin's subordinates are merciful!" Exercise restraint! This is my teacher, please look at my face, and pass by! ”
The scribe was also frightened by Li Cunhuan's murderous aura, and closed his mouth in amusement, but he still stared at Li Cunhuan with an angry face.
Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "Okay!" Since Your Majesty has said so, let it be skimmed! Go down! ”
When the four armorers heard this, they bowed their hands respectfully to Li Cunhuan and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
After finishing speaking, he retreated, and did not throw Li Qi, the real emperor, at a glance, and those who didn't know thought that Li Cunhuan was the emperor and Li Qi was the courtier.
This is to let Li Qi clearly know that Li Cunhuan and Li Keyong are similar. The difference is that Li Ke is a lot more straightforward, while Li Cunhuan is a lot more tactful, but neither of them can be controlled by him.
The next talk is much simpler, although Li Qi is bitter in his heart, the reason why he was selected by Li Keyong to come to power is because he is weak enough. Otherwise, do you want Li Keyong to really want to ZTE Datang?
What Li Cunhuan and Li Qi are talking about, others should be clear. But the next morning, when I went to court, I almost knew.
The next morning, the civil and military officials of Taiyuan also came, and Li Qi's face was a little complicated, happy, sad, painful, and indifferent. Let the civil and military officials look at each other, I don't know why the emperor who can see the situation by looking at his face is so strange today, which makes them a little worried about the next early dynasty.
Li Cunhuan also came at this time, dressed up the same as yesterday. However, Li Cunhuan didn't like the jade belt, and felt that it was too much of a hindrance. You have to help him walk when he walks, and it's not the role of the belt, like a hula hoop that is not too big or small. Li Cunhuan changed into a gold-inlaid leather belt, although it looked a little nondescript in the eyes of others, but Li Cunhuan didn't care, and no one dared to say anything about Li Cunhuan, this is one of the privileges brought by power.
However, Li Cunhuan did not wait outside like the civil and military officials, and walked directly into the Xuanzheng Palace, where the famous 'Zhongchao' was the place where the emperor listened to the government. However, this Xuanzheng Hall is not the Xuanzheng Hall in Chang'an, it is just a big house with no name. There is no grandeur of the Xuanzheng Hall in Daming Palace at all.
It didn't take long for Zhou Dewei and them to come, and unlike yesterday, there were a lot of people who came this time, there were more than ten people, and most of these people were commanders and envoys in the army. However, Zhu Jilong and Feng Bao did not come, in the final analysis, they are all officials with no rank. Jinyiwei was set up by Li Cunhuan himself and was not recognized by the imperial court. Zhu Jilong is just Li Cunhuan's personal captain, although there are many ranks, there is no need to participate. After all, his task is to protect Li Cunhuan, not to manage national affairs.
Seeing that Zhou Dewei and they were coming, a group of Hedong generals also came over to talk about it. However, Zhou Dewei and others have the same attitude, they will be happy with you when they see you, but don't expect to take out anything. If it doesn't like the eye, just send it away.
It didn't take long for an attendant to come out and announce the early dynasty.
When the official entered, he was even more amazed, only to see Li Cunhuan sitting on the left side of Emperor Li Qi, with his hands on his thighs, looking like he was recuperating with his eyes closed. Seeing everyone entering the Xuanzheng Palace, he raised his eyelids, glanced at them, and continued to close his eyelids, as if he didn't care about the world. However, no one dares to ignore Li Cunhuan with his eyes closed, and Li Cunhuan's one word is comparable to the hundred times that Emperor Li Qi opened the golden mouth.
A group of civil and military officials knelt down on their knees below, shouting long live. This time, Zhou Dewei, Yang Shihou and others did not embarrass Li Qi, anyway, in their opinion, this is for Li Cunhuan to kneel. Li Qi? That guy is just stained with Li Cunhuan's light!
Li Qi peeked at Li Cunhuan, and Li Cunhuan didn't know whether he deliberately ignored it, or if he really closed his eyes and didn't see it, ignoring Li Qi's small movements. Li Qi said at this time: "Zhongqing's family is flat!" ”
"Long live thanks!" A group of civil and military officials returned the courtesy, but there was not much sincerity in their words, and it was obviously perfunctory.
Li Qi didn't care, anyway, he was used to hearing this tone. He also knew that most of the civil and military officials below regarded themselves as an ornament, and a small number of loyal words of gratitude were also annihilated by these perfunctory words.
(To be continued)
