"Your Majesty, great joy!"

Lu Zhen ran to Mingtang excitedly, with a smile on his face.

Wu Yuanheng, Pei Tuzi and Li Jiang arrived successively, and several princes were also summoned to Mingtang. Li Yu glanced at everyone majestically, but his majestic gaze couldn't hide a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Chanted:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here because I have received a report that the rebel minister Tian Ji'an has died on the first day of the first month of this month, and after verification, the news is true. Wei Bo is now secretly mourning, and secretly advises Tian Huai, the eldest son of Tian Ji'an. I'd like to hear what you think. ”

A smile has appeared on everyone's face. Wu Yuanheng smiled:

"Tian Ji'an is dead, so Wei Bo is determined. Tian Huai is only a ten-year-old child, what should he do? The main is weak and the general is strong, it is inevitable that the people are not aligned, and after our army seeks to level Yunzhou, the army is surrounded on all sides, and before the official army attacks, Wei Bo will be in civil strife. The so-called God-given opportunity to clean up Heshuo is at this time. ”

Li Jiang said:

And so it was. It's just that Chen didn't think it would be so easy. First, after pacifying Yunzhou, the officers and men of our army have been fighting fiercely for a year, the veterans of the division are tired, the soldiers are tired of fighting, and they can no longer continue to attack; Second, the situation in the west is not calm, and the imperial court must mobilize large armies to the side; Although Chengde and Lu Long are not in harmony, they are only afraid that there will be some action in this situation, and the dog may jump off the wall under the Hu soldiers into Heshuo, and the court has to guard against it. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to press the army, as the military minister said, Wei Bo must have civil strife, and the court can wait and see the changes, and slowly figure it out. ”

The two prime ministers disagreed and were about to argue. Li Chanted:

"I thought that no matter what I did, I still had to spread the news of Tian Ji'an's death as soon as possible, and asked Fan Xichao, Zhang Maozhao, and Wu Chongyin to step up their attacks. Even if it is really impossible to solve the problem by force at that time, it is necessary to take advantage of this time to strive for the greatest interests in order to calm Heshuo in the future. ”

In the Ziqing military camp in Yanggu, a general hurriedly entered Liu Wu's Chinese army tent and said:

"Zhiming (Liu Wubiao, apocryphal, it's good that his grandfather was the envoy of the Pinglu Army), the big thing is not good, there are rumors outside that Tian Ji'an is dead!"

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Lao Zhang, is the news true?"

Let's go:

"After I got the news, I specially went to verify with Nie Feng's lieutenant general, this person didn't say yes or no, I don't think it's fake, so I came to you."

Although it was summer, Liu Wu was already in a cold sweat. Let's go:

"Know, in this situation, the brothers are all looking at you, you have to give the brothers an idea."

Hengzhou, Chengde Festival Embassy, Wang Chengzong stood up suddenly, and said in surprise:

"Tian Ji'an, this guy died at the age of thirty-one?"

After receiving the confirmation, Wang Chengzong turned around with his hands behind his back, stopped suddenly, and ordered:

"Let Chengtong and Wang Tingcuo take 10,000 people to camp close to Beizhou and stand by at any time. In addition, let Chengdi go to Weizhou. It's a pity, Liu Jin's old puppet hates me to the bone. However, go, summon all the subordinate generals to see who can go to Youzhou for me, and persuade Liu Jina's old puppet to deal with the court with me Chengde. ”

On the first day of the fifth month of the third year of Xingzhi, Tian Ji'an, the king of Wei, suffered a stroke in Weizhou at the age of 31. Wei Zhou originally decided not to mourn, but unexpectedly, the rumors leaked out, and rumors spread, Fan Xichao and Wu Chongyin took the opportunity to attack and defeated Wei Bo's army in succession. Wei Bo had to announce the death of Tian Huaiji, and his son Tian Huaiji succeeded him as King of Wei under the support of Wei Bo's civil and military forces.

"See the princess!"

In the mourning hall where the white flags fluttered, Princess Yuan of Wei was dressed in plain clothes, with tears on her face, kneeling in front of Tian Ji'anling, holding a pear blossom with spring rain, I saw pity. However, the civil and military officials of Wei Bo, who were also plain and white, did not dare to have pity and cherish the jade. Respectfully, under the leadership of the clan elders Tian Jing, Dong Shao and Shi Xiancheng, he gave a salute to the princess. After the Yuan clan nodded, Tian Jing and Dong Shao stepped forward to help Tian Huaiji, who was kneeling beside the Yuan clan. Then retreat to your place. Under the leadership of Tian Jing, Dong Shao and Shi Xiancheng, they knelt down together.

"See King Wei!"

Tian Huaizhi raised his right hand according to what Tian Jingjiao had taught before. Then, under the leadership of Shi Xiancheng, the generals swore in front of Tian Ji Anling to swear to the death to assist King Xiao Wei. After the oath was completed, Tian Huai ordered Zhu Wenwu to get up, and after saying "Xie Wei Wang", all the civil and military officials stood up one after another, and then walked in front of Tian Huai one by one to salute and introduce themselves, and swore allegiance. Tian Huaiji spent the first and last day of his heir to King Wei in a dazzle.

"Mother, there is no caring person around the child. The boy wanted Jiang Shize to serve me. ”

After Wenwu retreated, Tian Huai timidly walked towards the Yuan clan. Yuan sighed lightly and said:

"Son, you are already the king of Wei, you can decide what to do, you don't have to ask your mother."

Ten-year-old Tian Huaizhi nodded as if he didn't understand. But there was one thing he understood, Jiang Shi could come back. Yuan also instructed Tian Huai to admonish:

"Now you are also the King of Wei, you are the head of the Tian family, you must take family affairs and town affairs to heart, don't be greedy. Now that your father has died, and the 150,000 troops of the imperial court have attacked Wei Bo, I Wei Qunlong has no leader, and you are young, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the official army, so go and discuss with the civil and military clans to discuss a way to protect the six states and clans. The civil and military men are waiting for you in front, so go ahead! ”

"See the princess!"

Dong Shaobi stood respectfully in front of the Yuan family. Yuan still knelt in front of Tian Ji'an's coffin. Yuan's pro-Qi Zhu said:

"Lord Dong is not in Yin'an Hall to discuss with King Xiao Wei, but what is he doing in the mourning hall?"

"Your Majesty has a matter that I have to ask the princess to decide."

Dong Shaodao, seeing Yuan's ears on the side, continued,

"Before the first king came to the throne, he summoned Tian Xing, the governor of Xiangzhou, to Weizhou to take up the post of Great Sima, and the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the six states, does the princess know?"

Yuanshi Road:

"The political affairs of the first king, how do the mourning family know. However, people say that Uncle Xing is both civil and military, and he can prosper my Tian clan. I think this appointment is good. ”

Dong Shaodao:

"The princess doesn't know. Although the governor of Tian Xing is both civil and military, he is also a relative of the Tian family, but the bones of the first king are not cold, and the prestige of the king of Xiao Wei is not established, at this time the governor of Tian has the power of the army, even if he has no dissent, it is difficult to ensure that no one in these six states will take the opportunity to benefit himself, fan the flames to establish this support! At that time, how should the princess and the king of Xiao Wei deal with themselves? Tian Da Sima will be able to reach Weizhou tomorrow, and the princess and the king of Wei should make a decision. ”

It's really a word to wake up the dreamer. The Yuan family is a woman's family, and Tian Ji'an is extremely strong, and the Yuan family is not allowed to ask about government affairs, where is there any knowledge? Hearing what Dong Shao said, he really panicked, straightened up and said:

"Master Dong, what should I do then?"

Dong Shao puffed up his chest and said:

"Madame, don't panic, the lower officials have already made up their minds."

Soon after Dong Shao left, Tian Huaiji returned to the mourning hall accompanied by Tian Jing, Dong Shao, Shi Xiancheng and others. As soon as he arrived at the mourning hall, Tian Jing said to Yuan's family:

"The ministers and others discussed for a long time, and they all thought that the first king had passed away, the people's hearts were unstable, the imperial army was pressing, and our army was even more demoralized under the successive defeats, and it was really not suitable to continue to fight with the imperial court. In order to protect the clan of Wei Bo and my Tian clan, the subordinates discussed that at this time, they should go to the king's name and express their sincerity to the court, so as to stop fighting and recuperate. Please ask the concubine Niangniang and King Wei to decide. ”

said that the two of them were invited to decide, but Tian Huaizhi was just a child. Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Yuan said:

"Those who mourn the orphans and widows can only rely on the adults, since the adults think it is so good, then so be it."

Dong Shao came out of the queue and said:

"It's just that Niangniang and the King of Wei need to know that the first king called the king self-reliance, and it is an unforgivable crime in the imperial court, and the official army has won a big victory, and my Great Wei is at a disadvantage in terms of reason and strength.

Yuan said with tears in his eyes:

"How does this mourner not know? But it's up to you, adults! ”

Dong Shaodao:

"The concubine is open-minded, which is really a blessing for her subordinates. It's just that there is one more thing, since the king is to be abolished, then the official title and etiquette set by the first king must be abolished, and the newly established position of Da Sima is not suitable. ”

Yuanshi Road:

"The mourning family is not the kind of person who likes to be famous, pass the order, and from then on the mourning family will resume to be called Mrs., and the king of the Huai admonition will go, or temporarily receive the festival as before. As for Uncle Xing, he recovered from his illness and couldn't treat him badly, so he was appointed as a soldier and horse envoy in the ya, stationed in Bozhou. ”

Look at this arrangement, the vanguard of the official army is cruising in Bozhou.

The first thing Tian Huaiji, the king of Wei, did after succeeding to the throne was to recall Jiang Shize. The second thing is to abolish the King of Wei, and after Ren Jie Du stayed, all the official positions and etiquette set up by Tian Ji'an that did not conform to the dynasty system were abolished, and people were sent to Luoyang to beg for attachment. The third thing was to use Tian Xing as the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the Yanei and stationed in Bozhou, which could not help but make the Wei soldiers deeply dissatisfied. Fortunately, Tian Xing himself didn't have anything to say, and Wei Bo's army didn't set off any waves. The fourth thing is to send envoys to Youzhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou, and Cangzhou, and ask Liu Ji, Wang Chengzong, Zhang Maozhao, Cheng Quan, and others to present their feelings on their behalf.

On May 26, Wei Bo petitioned for guilt, asking the imperial court to allow Wei Bo to surrender, restore Wei Bo's tribute, and be willing to cede Lanzhou and Xiangzhou to the imperial court, and donate millions of money and grain, please assassinate Shi, and lose two taxes. Liu Ji and Wang Chengzong entered the dynasty one after another. On the same day, Li Yu convened a meeting of ministers on this matter.
