Walk to the Jinluan Palace, where only the eunuchs stay. "Lord, this is the piece of music left by the emperor. The eunuch immediately handed it to Xia Min with a copy of the fold in his hand. Xia Min opened the fold casually, and then, his face immediately became entangled, he had a hard time reading this traditional Chinese character.

According to the meaning of the radicals of Chinese characters, Xia Min understood word by word, and watched a three-hundred-word recital for about ten minutes. Although I don't understand it very clearly, it probably means that I understand. The three hundred words of twists and turns, summed up in one sentence, Hedong Jiedu made Shi Jingjiao rebel, and has colluded with the Khitan, and is killing Luoyang with the Khitan coalition army.

Of course, Xia Min is no stranger to this matter. The history books say that Shi Jingjiao occupied the land east of the river, and there were faint signs of rebellion, so Li Congke was ready to throw a prince to Shi Jingjiao, which is the so-called promotion and recall. As a result, Shi Jingjiao decisively rebelled directly, but his way of rebellion was not very good, and he directly declared himself a vassal to the Khitan, and in order to make the Khitan agree to send troops, he ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, which made the Northern Song Dynasty and the entire country in a situation of no defense.

"Shi Jingjiao, he ......" Xia Min held the fold in his hand, pretending to be shocked, and thought quickly in his heart. Things have developed to this point, which is similar to what is recorded in history, and the main variable is that Li Congke has actually led the army to the battle. This could be a nuisance, but it's also an opportunity for Xia Min.

According to historical records, Li Congke originally wanted to drive this imperial expedition, but was dissuaded by Xia Min, King Yong, and then was directly besieged by Shi Jingjiao. Xia Min's original plan was to wait for Shi Jingjiao to surround him, and then use Shi Jingjian's head to exchange Li Congke for the heirloom jade seal. Now, Li Congke has gone, although basically a failure, and then retreated to Luoyang. But I'm afraid, in case Li Congke really exterminates Shi Jingjiao, what will Xia Min do!

Xia Min's mission this time only needs the jade seal, if Li Congke really exterminated Shi Jingjiao, then what reason is there to get the jade seal from him? Xia Min instantly felt a pain. "Lone knows, so be it. Xia Min sent the eunuch casually, and then walked towards the outside of the imperial city, since today is the day of Li Congke's expedition, then the civil and military officials must have gone out to see him off, and to implement the power of the prison country, he can only wait until tomorrow's morning.

"Lord, there is a handwritten letter left by the emperor for you. The eunuch walked up to Xia Min, holding the letter in both hands, and his attitude was very respectful. Xia Min took the letter, opened it and glanced at it casually, and after reading the general meaning, he received the letter in his sleeve. In the letter, Li Congke didn't say anything important, only said that he went on an expedition and the country was handed over to you, don't let him down or anything, proper standard format. Xia Min didn't bother to take a closer look at it at all.

"Since this is the case, then we must prepare, so that after Li Congke's defeat is defeated, he will still have the ability to fight back, in that case, it will be possible to change to the jade seal. Xia Min was thinking silently on the way back to the palace. Since Li Congke is leaving, let's just let him go, after leaving, Xia Min will be in charge of the country, so that it will be more convenient to do things, if he really exterminates Shi Jingjiao, then think of other ways.

"Lord, why did the emperor summon you?" As soon as she returned to the palace, Princess Yong led a group of maids and stopped Xia Min in the hall. "......" Xia Min's face suddenly sank: "Women, what do you know......" Xia Min snorted coldly, and walked towards his room, he only knew this one place, and he didn't know where the other roads were. "Little Lizi, what's wrong with the prince?" Princess Yong asked, the servant who had been waiting behind Xia Min, Xia Min was in too much hurry just now, and she forgot to follow.

"The slave doesn't know. Xiao Lizi lowered her head and responded slowly. "Forget it, you all go down. Princess Yong waved to everyone, then turned to chase after Xia Min, followed by two maids. By the time Princess Yong returned to the bedroom, Xia Min was already lying on the bed with clothes. With Li Congke's departure, the fate of Hou Tang is basically doomed, how can he come back to life? Xia Min's face couldn't help but become entangled.

"Lord Wang, who didn't have long eyes provoked you. Princess Yong turned around and closed the door, the two maids stayed outside the door, in the room, only Xia Min was left, Princess Yong finished speaking, and the person was already leaning on Xia Min's arms.

"Father, ......" Xia Min held back two words, pulled Princess Yong to the bed, and fixed it on herself. "Ahh ”

Princess Yong exclaimed in surprise, and when she finished speaking, her face was already flushed. "My father made me angry. Xia Min said with a wicked smile. "......" In an instant, Princess Yong's face turned extremely pale: "Lord, don't scare the concubines, the concubines are timid." "In ancient times, except for Xia Min, a traverser, it is estimated that no one else dared to say that the emperor had provoked him, which was a great crime of the Nine Clans.

Xia Min didn't say much, and directly smiled evilly, "Let's get down to business first, and we'll talk about the rest later." ”...... Princess Yong fell asleep with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and Xia Min was lying on the bed thinking about things. "Shi Jingjiao, Khitan ......"

Xia Min silently clenched his hands: "I'm waiting for you to ......" After flipping the movement, Xia Min's mind suddenly calmed down and returned to the state of a sage. The cranial nerves jumped rapidly, and finally, Xia Min thought of a countermeasure.

Anyway, his feelings for this world are not very deep, so he treats it as a game. Speaking of games, Xia Min's little brother wanted to play games again, and Xia Min immediately pressed on Princess Yong, who was still resting. "Lord Wang, can you rest for a while, the concubine can't bear it. Princess Yong resisted weakly, and her voice was so greasy that Xia Min's whole body was soft.

"Of course. Xia Min smiled strangely and sped up, and in an instant, Princess Yong lost the ability to speak. "Take a look first, I'll ......," said one of the maids, blushing, toward the other, toward the end of the hallway. The remaining maid's face also turned into a red apple, silently rubbing her legs. The next morning, Xia Min was already standing in front of the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace. Before dawn, he was pulled up from the bed by Princess Yong and packed up her clothes.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, he came to the Jinluan Palace. From now on, the entire post-Tang Dynasty is Xia Min who has the final say. As soon as the sky was hazy, a large group of officials lowered their heads and hurriedly walked into the Jinluan Palace, standing in their respective positions. "Something to do, nothing to retreat. ”

When the officials stopped moving, and there was no need for Xia Min to speak, the eunuch next to him shouted loudly. The officials all bowed their heads and whispered, and after two or three minutes, no one spoke. Important events, Li Congke had already explained to the ministers before the expedition, today's early dynasty is just a routine, and no one will find themselves unhappy at this critical moment.

After all, they don't know that in the near future, it will be Li Congke or Shi Jingjiao who will be sitting on the dragon chair. These old fritters in the officialdom all remain silent, so as not to affect their future standing. No matter which dynasty or generation, when the dynasty changes, it is the leader who dies, that is, the royal family. These officials have always gone with the flow, whether it is Li Congke or Shi Jingjiao, anyway, their fortunes are the same, so why bother looking for more and not being happy. "Retreat ......"

Seeing that no one was doing anything, the eunuch shouted loudly. "Wait. Xia Min was waiting for this time, and raised his hand to stop the eunuch's shouting. "Lonely has something to say. Xia Min said, stepped forward a few steps, turned around and sat directly on the dragon chair, stroking the back of the chair with both hands, revealing an intoxicated expression. Suddenly, the audience fell silent. Everyone was staring at the dragon chair under Xia Min, their faces were inexplicably shocked. The dragon chair, not everyone can sit on it, not to mention that Xia Min is just a prince now, even if he is now the prince, he is not qualified.

There is only one person who can make a dragon chair, the emperor. Xia Min's behavior, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, is already suspected of usurping the throne. Xia Min's face gradually dimmed, and he sat on the dragon chair, just to test it and see if there were any officials in the court who dared to speak. Who knows, but not one.

Suddenly, Xia Min's eyes lit up, and he saw an official standing at the end walking out. Looking at the official's court clothes, it should be a five-grade official, today is a daily morning court, at least just a five-grade, that is to say, this official is a low-class person, Xia Min couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to know what he was going to say. "Lord Qiqi, the minister has his own music. The official saluted Xia Min, and then without waiting for Xia Min to speak, he said directly: "The minister wants to join the prince, and he is suspected of usurping the throne." ”

Hearing the official's words, the other officials were immediately even more surprised, and they all quietly retreated, scolding in their hearts. This official, in their opinion, is completely looking for death. Now, Xia Min is the prisoner of the state, that is to say, the ruler of the entire post-Tang dynasty has the power of life and death over all citizens, whether they are civilians or high-ranking officials. And now, this official actually said to Xia Min that he wanted to participate in Xia Min's book. The content of this sentence is almost like a servant saying to his master: "What you are doing wrong as a master must be changed." ”

It's all the impatience of life, the kind of people who seek death. "Oh?" the corners of Xia Min's mouth curled: "What is your name and what official position is it." Seeing the look on Xia Min's face, the others retreated even more. The official who was doing the work, within a radius of ten meters, was already an open space. "Chen Zhouzheng, now Dr. Guozijian, Doctor Chaosan. Zhou Zheng had already lowered his head, and after answering the question, he remained still and remained motionless.

"Interesting...... Xia Min secretly laughed in his heart, his curiosity became even greater, and he said to Zhou Zheng: "Lone let you be the country's prince of the priest, do you dare to be Doctor Guanglu." Suddenly, the hall was like a vegetable market, full of noisy discussions. From Dr. Guozijian, Dr. Chaosan, to Dr. Guozijian Sacrificial Wine, Dr. Guanglu. Whether it is a full-time job or a loose rank, all of them have been directly pulled from the fifth rank to the second grade, which is not only a triple jump. Zhou Zheng also looked depressed, looking up at Xia Min, his eyes were full of incredulity.

It is worthy of being a person with a positive name, and the first feeling of looking at the past is that he has righteousness, and his whole body stands straight, like a green pine. Gradually, the hall became quiet again, and all the voices of the officials gradually stopped. In their opinion, Li Congke, the emperor, and Xia Min, the prison state, both went crazy together. Among the hundreds of emperors throughout the ages, only those dynasties that were strong to the top of the army, the emperor would use this method to improve his reputation, and the Tang Dynasty, no matter how you look at it, did not meet this requirement.

As for the official position that Xia Min promoted to Zhou Zheng, it is even more nonsense, from the fifth grade to the second grade, he jumped eleven or two times, which emperor has done this, not to mention that Xia Min is just a prison country, not an emperor at all.

Laughing and scolding. The eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground: "Yes, the slave will never be wrong again." Eunuch: "King Yongwang is standing here today just for one thing." Xia Min: "I believe everyone already knows that Hedong Jiedu has turned Shi Jingjiao back." As Xia Min's words fell, many people immediately began to discuss, their voices were extremely noisy, most of them were scolding Shi Jingjiao, and occasionally one or two other voices sounded, but they disappeared in an instant.

Xia Min: "Everyone be quiet and let the lonely general finish speaking." Xia Min raised his hands and pressed them weakly, and immediately, many forbidden soldiers shouted in unison: "Silence." Suddenly, the audience fell silent again. Xia Min: "Shi Jingjiao is the opposite, that's his business, it's a person who always has ambitions." Since he wants to be the emperor, then he is against it, this is a very normal thing, there is nothing to say. Hearing Xia Min's words, not only the civil and military officials and the common people, but even those "Why don't you speak?" Xia Min squinted and walked to the center of the hall and glanced at everyone.

The people who were swept by Xia Min's gaze immediately lowered their heads, brushed their sleeves with both hands, and looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, how calm and calm they were. "Bastard thing. Xia Min couldn't help but scold, now, even Zhou Zheng didn't dare to meet Xia Min's gaze. "Where is the book of the military department?" Xia Min roared towards the main hall, and he didn't bother to open his eyes to the sky, there were hundreds of officials here, looking over one by one, their eyes would definitely be wrong. "Lord Wang. The eunuch trotted briskly to Xia Min's side: "The military department Shangshu has followed the emperor on the expedition." ”

"Hmm!" Xia Min nodded slightly, and then said, "The squire of the military department is here." "The minister is here. Since he was named, the squire of the military department immediately stood up from the team, saluted Xia Min and stood still. "Have you sent all the grain and grass for the expedition, how much surplus grain is left in Luoyang, how long can you hold out if the wall is clear, and how many soldiers can you fight in Luoyang. ”

Xia Min asked many questions in one breath. is worthy of being a person who can mix with the squire of the military department, following the order of Xia Min's questions, he calmly replied: "The matter of grain and grass, the lower officials don't know, they are generally deployed by the household department, and the combatable soldiers in Luoyang, except for the old and the young, there are more than 5,000 people." ”

Hearing the words of the squire of the military department, all the officials gasped, how big Luoyang is, of course they know, five thousand people, it is estimated that it is difficult to say whether even the defense of a city wall can be perfect. "The book of the household department is not here, how much grain and grass is left. Hearing the words of the soldier squire, Xia Min didn't care, five thousand people, to maintain law and order, it was enough, anyway, when Li Congke's army was defeated, he would bring some defeated soldiers back, if he was prepared for defense, he should be able to delay for a while. Hubu Shangshu came out of the team and replied: "The grain and grass for the army have been prepared and distributed, and the surplus grain in Luoyang, if calculated according to the number of people in the city, can support about two months." ”

"Two months ......" Xia Min thought, two months, whether it is successful or not, anyway, his task time is over, and the rest of the matter will be talked about.
