Chapter 45: The Regent

"Xuan side by side, Wang Jinjian. ”

In the Great Xia Palace, on the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Zhao Shengde sat on the dragon chair, and hundreds of civil and military officials were arranged around the court, with a sharp shout from the celebrant supervisor, all the officials in the entire court subconsciously lowered their heads, became trembling, and even their breathing was deliberately suppressed, for fear of making the slightest sound.

Da! Da! Da......

Heavy combat boots stepped on the smooth jade floor, making a heavy and cold sound, a figure in black heavy armor walked step by step from the white jade steps below, when he walked to the temple gate, people actually had a feeling that the light in the hall was dim, although compared to the temple gate as high as ten zhang, this person's body was so small, but there seemed to be a huge shadow on his body, enveloping everyone.

He is the world-shaking and prestigious side by side king, and he is also the butcher who caused rivers of blood and countless deaths and injuries in the imperial city, and he is the only master of the imperial capital today.

At this time, Haotian, wearing battle armor and a long sword at his waist, stepped into the hall steadily, and bowed his hand slightly towards Zhao Shengde above, and his indifferent and majestic voice sounded in the hall:

"Chen Haotian, see the emperor. ”

This is a great disrespect to the emperor, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to make accusations, and no one even dared to show even a trace of indignation, and they all quietly lowered their heads, wondering how the emperor would react.

However, the emperor didn't say anything, he looked at Haotian at this time with only fear in his heart, and it was difficult to even speak, just said a flat word, and then never spoke again, and then the celebrant next to him took out a holy decree and began to read it directly:

"Your Majesty has a decree, and the king will listen to the seal side by side. ”

Haotian bowed slightly, signaling that he was listening.

"The king of the side by side is not far from thousands of miles to the north, to protect the imperial city, the king of Qin has merit, but also to sweep away the civil strife in the imperial city, eradicate the traitors of the court, this is the minister of the society, the pillar of the country, coincided with the great chaos in the world, the surrounding countries are ready to move, the princes of the feudal town support the army and self-respect, the subordinate country is called the king, and the king is specially ordered to be the general of Wuwei, the general leader of the world's soldiers and horses, pacify the civil strife, and sweep away the enemy. ”

When the ceremonial supervisor read it out here, the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty trembled, General Wuwei, equivalent to the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, this is the largest military general official position in the country, the former generalissimo of soldiers and horses Ning Wang Zhao Binghuan just died, I didn't expect the emperor to directly give this position to the king side by side, which makes it clear that it is definitely not the emperor's own meaning, so it is obvious that the emperor is now afraid that he can no longer be the lord of Daxia.

While everyone's minds were turning, the celebrant continued to read:

"The king side by side is the first emperor's personal seal, on par with the sky, and has the right to supervise the world and assist the royal family. I am ill, although I care about the world, but I can't do it, so please stand side by side with the king to temporarily take over the government, take the power of regent, and don't give up. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was instantly silent, General Feng Wuwei They can accept it, and it is also expected, but it is not obvious that the king will temporarily take over the government and take the right of regent, isn't this the obvious meaning of directly abdicating the throne, is His Majesty the Emperor crazy?

After a short period of shock, everyone had to admit the fact that the current Great Xia is really no longer the world of the royal family, and it is only a matter of time before the king is called the emperor, and this is already a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed.

"Minister, obey the order. Haotian responded in a deep voice, and took the seal letter sent by the eunuch, Zhao Shengde took the lead in retreating from the court on the grounds of physical discomfort, so only Haotian stood there in the court, and all the civil and military officials fell to the ground and shouted:

"Long live the king side by side, long live long live!"

............

Haotian became the master of the real sense of Great Xia, but he did not call the emperor for the first time, but continued to support Zhao Shengde as a puppet emperor, just because the luck of Great Xia is still in Zhao Shengde's body, so Zhao Shengde can not die, nor can he directly abdicate, otherwise the hearts of all the people in the world will be lost, and the luck will also dissipate, even if he forcibly calls the emperor, he can only re-accumulate the luck little by little, this is not what he wants, he wants to use Zhao Shengde as a transit station, once again condense the world's luck, and then transfer it to him, and when the luck is completely condensed, it is the day he becomes the emperor。

After the regency, Haotian began to sort out the major institutions of the imperial court, cultivate henchmen, recruit talents, and follow him all the way from the south, as long as they are outstanding in battle, they are all feudal marquis, civil and military officials, as long as they are willing to be loyal to him, they have also been promoted one after another, and soon, inside and outside the court and the major state capitals in the Central Plains have been replaced by Haotian's people, in just a few months, the original rotten court has been renewed, and has become an iron plate, but the new court is no longer the court of Great Xia, but the court of the king side by side。

Moreover, Haotian also reduced taxes in most areas, allocated a large amount of money and grain to help poor areas and victims of natural and man-made disasters, and soon, the name of Wang Xiande spread all over the Central Plains, and the golden luck above the Great Xia Palace slowly began to be rich again.

However, these are the luck of the south and the Central Plains, the east and west counties are still in the hands of the princes of all walks of life, although the battle of Tiger Prison Pass has been destroyed to some feudal towns, but there are still many deep-rooted princes who divide one side and do not obey Haotian's orders, they know very well that Haotian is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so they do not listen to the will of the imperial court.

Four months after the regency, Haotian drove the expedition in person, leading his 400,000 Longxiang iron cavalry to conquer the princes from all walks of life, Shanhaiguan was replaced by 600,000 ordinary soldiers, King Yin and King Su did not directly erect the anti-flag, after all, Haotian still held the banner of the Great Xia Emperor, if they attacked Shanhaiguan at this time, whether they could break it or not, in the eyes of the world, they were equivalent to rebellion, and Haotian had enough reasons to conquer them.

Compared with the two old princes outside Shanhaiguan, the princes of the two counties in the east and west are not in the climate, but after all, they have been in business for many years and are deeply rooted.

The royal expedition lasted two months, the only few remaining princes in the east and west counties were all ambushed, the speed was staggering, people once again saw the terrible dragon horse, they seemed to vaguely see the scene of the king with 800,000 dragon horses across the world.

During this period of time, Western Chu sent troops to attack the land of Yanqi, and the fight was inextricable, and the Great Wei, which was originally eyeing Great Xia, was jointly contained by the Later Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even had one more Nanyue who restored the country overnight, starting with these three kingdoms, and the rest of the small countries also began to harass the Great Wei.

It is precisely because Western Chu and Great Wei are too busy to take care of themselves, so the Great Xia, which should have been in danger, has survived the period of civil strife smoothly, which may be luck in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, they have to sigh that the hand of the king side by side is really breathtaking!
