Chapter 227: My Country 2 (Second Update)
At that time, Emperor Nanling was deaf, favored and treacherous, perverse, and extremely luxurious.
All pleasure things, the emperor likes, a small banquet in the palace for three days, a big banquet in five days, nothing to lead the crowd to travel, bring their own wives, the palace is almost all over the country.
If this goes on like this, it will naturally cost a lot of money.
There is a way that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
What should the emperor do if he has no money? Naturally, I am looking for people to raise funds.
All kinds of taxes skyrocketed, and in the end, even selling children and daughters was not enough to pay taxes.
In fact, what the people want is very simple, no matter who they are emperors, as long as they can have food to eat and a nest to sleep, they will be content with the status quo, and they will thank the great emperor for giving them such a good life.
Once these two conditions are not met, there is only one way to take risks.
Some of the unreachable feudal officials and ambitious people in the imperial court became active, entangled with scattered forces, and rose up to divide one side.
Yao Taishi actually had a heart of disobedience, which is why he deliberately befriended a martial arts person like Jiang Ziming when he was a court master.
He has been operating in the court for many years, so he naturally knows how to make himself more famous. So he openly asked for the people's lives at the Great Dynasty and talked about the suffering of the people.
Since ancient times, his words have been contrary to his ears, not to mention that Yao Guang and Yao Taishi still deliberately wanted to provoke the emperor.
The Son of Heaven was naturally furious and ordered Yao Guang to be whipped.
The Yao party faction naturally pleaded for mercy while reprimanding him for being disrespectful to His Majesty, but Yao Guang came to a death sentence.
Although he was stopped by everyone, he still broke his forehead.
For a while, the people knew what the Taishi of the court did, since the Dog Emperor is like this, I might as well kill the emperor and set up the Taishi instead, Yao Taishi will definitely be a good emperor who loves the people like a son.
In fact, Yao Guang had already let his brother-in-law Jiang Ziming lead the martial arts masters to lurk in the capital, just waiting for an order.
The emperor who was kept in the dark also sent the generals of the court to suppress the mob in various places, and after the troops were dispersed, Yao Taishi, who was dismissed from office, took advantage of the lack of troops in Gyeonggi to transfer troops and send generals, and surrounded the imperial city into an iron bucket, and then Jiang Ziming led 1000 sons and daughters to arrest the emperor and his sons, daughters, and wives without much effort.
The emperor was forced to write the "Edict of Guilt" first, and then issued the "Abdication Book", although there was also a shortage of soldiers, there were Jiang Jiajun who flew off the wall, and they were naturally not a problem with one as a ten.
Yao Guang pretended to find another master among the emperor's sons, and everyone kowtowed and begged, he repeatedly refused, and after making a sufficient gesture, he ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the name of the country to Da Chu.
Yao Guang also became Emperor Yuan of Chu.
Those who secretly played small calculations or secretly conspired with other forces, under the careful investigation of the FBI led by Director Jiang Ziming and Jiang, they were all ambushed and punished to clear the hidden dangers of the Yao regime.
In view of Jiang Jiajun's exploits in this coup, Yao Guang named Jiang Ziming as the only king with a different surname in Great Chu, Jiang Ziming repeatedly resigned, and Yao Guang was not reluctant, so he was named a hereditary "Gongshun Hou", and all the subordinates led by Jiang Ziming were incorporated into the Great Chu army.
The scheming Yao Guang was unstable at that time and was afraid of causing a mutiny, so he made it clear that all the Jiang family's subordinates were included in one team, and they simply named it "Jiang Family Army" and was commanded by the Jiang family.
This is obviously to give the Jiang family face, so that those people have a background, and they are no longer reckless, but in fact, they still want to take these terrifying forces into their own hands.
Jiang Ziming also understands that once he changes from a brother to a monarch, the taste of friendship between the two people has also changed.
Think about the title "Gongshun" given to him by Emperor Didi, and you can understand what people mean.
Jiang Ziming originally liked to live the kind of idle clouds and wild cranes, and helped Yao Guang because the emperor of the previous dynasty was too extravagant, which caused the people to live in poverty, thinking that Yao Guang was indeed eloquent, so he conformed to the public opinion and took advantage of the situation to help him.
Jiang Shan was born at this time, Jiang Ziming didn't want his delicate daughter to be with a group of reckless people all day long, so he honestly begged for a life under the emperor's nose with his tail between his legs, just begging to use his low profile to exchange for a peaceful life for his wife and children.
Jiang Ziming didn't participate in major events, pretended to be confused in small things, and went home to accompany his wife and daughter after the court, and he almost became an invisible person in the court.
And the emperor was also busy sitting down the dragon chair.
While starting to rectify the rule of officials, he also recruited those stragglers who refused to submit, and by the way, he quietly withdrew his military power, and he and Jiang Ziming were at peace.
By the time the situation stabilized, Jiang Ziming had already made a decision. The emperor didn't know what to think, so he actually gave Gongshun Hou directly to the gentle Jiang Erlang, and let Jiang Dalang continue to lead the Jiang family's army to the border.
Jiang Ziming's heart is clear, this is a nail wedged into the hearts of the eldest son and the second son, but unfortunately, the emperor may have miscalculated. The Jiang family was never what he thought it was.
The emperor actually didn't want to do this, but Jiang Jiajun has always been an indelible shadow in the emperor's heart.
The courage of Jiangjiazhai to break the imperial city is still in front of him, and the emperor is distressed and the emperor is afraid.
How to make all the people with strong martial arts in the Jiang family use me has become a question that the emperor thinks about every day.
One day, the emperor was on his mind.
Summoned his son and said that whoever has the ability to take down the Jiang family army will be made the prince. also muttered that there was a marriage contract with the Jiang family at the beginning, but the two families were all kids, so they had to give up.
Several princes listened to this, and went back to discuss with their staff, and agreed that it was the most concise and effective way to attack Jiang Ziming's old daughter Jiang Shan.
The old emperor had already hinted that marriage was the best way.
Jiang Shan herself is a little beauty, coupled with the strength of the Jiang family, these two things are already worth their game, not to mention that their emperor Lao Tzu also drew the most tempting cake for them.
A prince who doesn't want to be a prince is not a good son.
So the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their abilities.
Jiang Shan, a little girl who was raised in the boudoir as a young lady, where had she ever seen such a battle, and in the end, Yao Wenzhan, the youngest son of the old emperor, stood out among the children and nephews, and won the first place and hugged the beauty.
married Jiang Shan, naturally firmly tied the Jiang family to his chariot, and Yao Wenzhan, who had no power at all in his mother's family, really succeeded in becoming the new emperor.
As for the later story, it is simple, after Jiang Shanfeng gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, Yao Wenzhan affectionately promised Jiang Shan on the day of the full moon of the emperor's eldest son, I want our children to be the lord of the world of this great Chu!
At that time, Jiang Ziming was long gone.
There are people in the court who write books, and the party is powerful, and I am afraid that the crown prince will be powerful outside the family in the future.
In a word, in order to prevent foreign relatives from gaining power, resolutely oppose the eldest son of the emperor!
