Chapter 115: Farce
On this day in the middle of winter in the second year, the grassland was covered with heavy snow, except for the army, there were basically no civilians, and the army gathered here, and countless generals walked to the Chinese army camp one after another. In the big camp, I saw Xue Chongxun wearing a military uniform and a cadre of staff standing in front of the big tent, and he was talking there: "The big battle is over, we want the division to return to the dynasty and return to the station, but now it is still in the Duhufu area and has not been able to disband the army immediately, some people have speculated wildly, asking me to return to the court How to explain to Jinshang and His Royal Highness......"
At this time, a big-headed general in the crowd shouted: "What else does Xue Lang have to explain, who of us doesn't want to be the emperor?" Who doesn't want to, stand up and speak! The person who pulled his voice was not Li Kuiyong, he shouted and looked back at a group of generals to see who would stand up...... Apparently no one. Most of them have the same mind as Li Kuiyong, there are only benefits and no disadvantages, even people with reservations will not be stupid to stand up like that and make a bird.
The generals were coaxed for a while, and Du Xian in the crowd said that he didn't stop doing anything, and it was better to steal the limelight when things were done like this. Du Xian's mind was better than that of the other generals, and when he asked everyone to follow the excitement, he had seized the opportunity to take the yellow robe from the hands of his subordinates and walked towards Xue Chongxun with a group of people.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun frowned and said, "You are making a lot of noise, and you don't want military discipline?" You go back to me! ”
The guards of the Xue family, who were in charge of guarding the guards, saw a group of generals coming over and immediately went over to stop them, but unexpectedly, Su Jin shouted: "Everyone is doing big things, what is the matter with people like you?" The guards looked at each other, and when they were stunned, they were pushed away by Du Xian and others, and they swaggered up. Xue Chongxun glanced at the yellow material in Du Xian's hand, and immediately understood what was going on. Since the time of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the law clearly stipulates that ministers and scholars and common people are strictly forbidden to wear yellow, because some people say that the yellow color is similar to the sun in the sky, and the sun is a metaphor for the Son of Heaven, so it cannot be worn casually, so the imperial court made such a decree. Yellow clothes are no longer worn by the officialdom and the people at this time, especially in the period of political turmoil, who dares to wear that kind of clothes to make trouble for yourself, in a word, do you have bad intentions?
And Xue Chongxun has one more insight than everyone, he knows one thing in history, Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty was put on a dragon robe when he led the troops, how can he not understand the current situation?
"Come on, stop General Du and them!" Xue Chongxun shouted anxiously. But Du Xian and the others came over, and Xue Chongxun's call "General Du" shows that he still regards these people as his own, how dare the surrounding guards be too unreasonable to these generals? Du Xian and the others couldn't say anything, and a few people held down Xue Chongxun and shouted: "What about the chair, move the chair!" ”
If he had put aside the peacetime, who would have dared to treat him like this with his high-ranking and powerful subordinates, but now that he couldn't take care of it much, Xue Chongxun was forced by his subordinates to sit down on a chair. Du Xian picked up the clothes in his hand, shook them off, and put them on Xue Chongxun's back.
I saw that the robe was said to be a dragon robe, but in fact, it was poorly workmanlike because of the rush to work, and it was more like a cloak than a clothes, which could only be draped on the outside for a while. There is a dragon embroidered on it, but the embroidery is more ugly than a snake. None of this is a problem, though, as long as it can be called a dragon robe.
After Du Xian put the dragon robe on Xue Chongxun's body, he took two steps back, knelt on the ground neatly and shouted: "The ministers knock on the new monarch, Your Majesty has no borders!" ”
At this time, the armor below clanged chaotically, and a large number of soldiers fell down in the snow and shouted long life. Xue Chongxun was still wearing a yellow robe and was pressed on a chair to be subjected, and the staff guards on the side had no one to help him, so they all knelt down.
Xue Chongxun's eyes widened, and suddenly a gust of wind blew a spirit on his body. The situation in front of us is as chaotic as a farce, but it is by no means a farce, but a major event, and many people will talk about it for thousands of years inside and outside the Central Plains.
He sat there in a daze, holding his commander for a moment, and then let go of his hand in awe, and fell down with the group.
In an instant, Xue Chongxun unconsciously remembered the later Zhao Kuangyin, a person in a similar situation to himself. But perhaps Zhao Kuangyin had premeditated to seize power when he got the military power, and the final Chen Qiao Mutiny was just a rehearsed play; But today, Xue Chongxun is different, he is not completely ready.
It would be a lie to say that there is no ambition, he has been thinking about this path for a long time, not long ago from the premeditated Northern Alliance leader to the current series of layouts are all because of such disobedience, but to this day he still feels that he lacks some necessary conditions. Timing often comes suddenly and unexpectedly.
When people shouted long live, Xue Chongxun was undoubtedly very moved, as if there was a voice in his ear saying "Take out the guts to get a qiē", and another voice said, "Only by walking steadily can you go far". It's hard to avoid times when you're undecided.
The surrounding noise gradually subsided a little, Xue Chongxun was in the spotlight, he felt that this was not the time to think too much too far, he couldn't sit here in a daze, he had to deal with it immediately. The response is simple: refusal. No matter what the reason, even if you really want to seize the opportunity, you can't agree right away, you have to grind a few times before this is a necessary process. He slowly stretched out his hand to take the yellow robe off his body, and said, "I can't wear this, the soldiers, please go back, and be sure to restrain your subordinates to strictly abide by military discipline." ”
As he spoke, he got up and left, and a large crowd knelt in the camp and talked about it, and gradually the whole group got up. Li Kuiyong stood up, touched his head and asked Du Xian: "Xue Lang really doesn't want to sit in that position?" ”
Du Xian did not answer. Zhang Wulang took it and said: "Even if Xue Lang doesn't have that mind, it is difficult to ride a tiger now, such a person is present, who in the world will not know about this matter for a long time?" Xue Lang is difficult to be a courtier. ”
Su Jin snorted from his nose and said, "It may have to be persuaded two or three times before Xue Lang can 'reluctantly' become the lord of the world." ”
After the generals dispersed from the camp of the Chinese army, they quickly issued a military order from the Xue Chongxun shogunate, which clearly ordered all departments to maintain military discipline and order, and march out of the camp according to the date of the itinerary. The enthusiasm of the crowd was gradually cooled in front of the cold decree, and the battalions seemed to begin to return to normal.
However, everyone's mind is focused on this matter, but it is difficult to change for a while. When Xue Chongxun returned to the inner tent to rest, the Turkic princess Ashinado couldn't wait to ask when she saw him, "Xue Lang is going to be the emperor?" "She was not a person involved in the military aircraft in the first place, and now she knows the whole thing clearly, and obviously this matter cannot be hidden from the lowest soldiers.
There was no one else in the tent, so Xue Chongxun replied simply: "That's the case." Although he refused in front of the soldiers today, the addition of the dragon robe has become a fact, and there is no turning back. Otherwise, anyone who regains imperial power will be the first to get rid of me. ”
Ashina Zhuo chuckled: "Then I don't want to be the imperial concubine of the Central Plains Dynasty and live in the palace?" If you say you can't change it, why do you want to reject everyone's kindness? ”
"Most of the subjects in the country live a solid and comfortable life, and the people's hearts do not change, and they are not very willing for me to seize the throne. If you don't go through the motions today, you will leave the world with the impression of wolf ambition. Xue Chongxun sighed, "So I have to show in front of people that I don't want to be forced to be helpless, even if people with insight don't believe it at all, it's better than impatient." ”
Ashina Zhuo said: "The Han people really have a lot of eyes, like when the Mosi Khan seized the throne, he admitted in public that he was better as a khan, and forced his brother to give way, and his many people and horses were also prestigious, and everyone recognized it." ”
Xue Chongxun said: "Therefore, most of the steppe khanates can only be inherited for decades and then destroyed, while the Central Plains Dynasty can often continue for hundreds of years after the unification, and the Tang Dynasty has only been established for a hundred years, and the number of qi is not exhausted." ”
Xue Chongxun gradually fell into contemplation, according to the laws of history, the turmoil after the Tang Dynasty experienced Wu Zetian could indeed continue and redevelop a prosperous era, even after the Anshi Rebellion, it could barely last for so long; And I changed the direction of history, is the power in my hands now a rule, or is it a flash in the pan and only a small twist and turn in the course of a dynasty?
Tang Tuanlian said that people can't think too much, that is the way to use martial arts, but Xue Chongxun's situation has to think more. He thought about a lot without saying a word.
I don't know when there was a soft touch and warm body temperature on the arm, it turned out that it was the Turkic princess next to her who snuggled up, and she said softly: "I can feel Lang Jun worried, you also think about the good place, don't be sad all the time." ”
Perhaps it was Ashinazhuo's words that reminded Xue Chongxun, and his mind quickly thought of the reward of seizing the throne, obviously everything is risky and beneficial, and what he can get will be a qiē in the world...... The highest status, the most wealth, the supreme power, and countless beauties, I can't think of it.
It can satisfy all desires, and the benefits are too great, which will be able to repay people for their efforts and fill all the shortcomings in people's hearts. No wonder everyone wants to be emperor every chance they get.
Xue Chongxun's eyes unconsciously revealed brilliance, it was desire. Desire is a man's soul, and his eyes are incomparably bright at this time, as if he has gathered positive things such as fighting spirit, wisdom, and self-confidence.
A voice in Xue Chongxun's heart said: You can have what you want, Lao Tzu is the best in the world.
is like the alien princess in front of her, someone has to pay for her life and a qiē, Xue Chongxun can get it at his fingertips, and he can play as much as he wants.
Ashinada felt his burning gaze, and suddenly felt awe, as if his soul had been robbed of his soul. She was in a noble Turkic position, and she had never felt so before, and she couldn't help but be surprised. But after a while, I heard Xue Chongxun's gentle voice: "Although the weather is cold, it is a good day." When Ashina Zhuo looked up, his eyes seemed to have lingering tenderness, and her heart suddenly softened.
It's very warm to hug each other in the quilt in the cold season, and of course I don't want to get up when I get into the quilt. Ashinada heard the wind outside the account, it was the cold wind of the grassland winter that she was familiar with. G
