Chapter 423: Bai Qi ascends the throne
The first battle of Luozhou completely established Xiao Chen's initiative in the Wei State.
Xiao Chen, who captured Luozhou, did not choose to continue the march, but waved his troops around, occupying all the states and counties along the way, so far, Xiao Chen completely unified half of the territory of Wei.
On July 23, Xiao Chen continued to wave his troops north, killing them all the way in the direction of Wei Kyoto.
Kyoto, Wei State.
Bai Qi stood in front of the throne with a vicissitudes of life, and after a long silence, Bai Qi finally sat directly on the throne.
Seeing such a rebellious scene, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the ministers present, but they quickly lowered their heads in unison.
Bai Qi's rebellion is not a secret, but strictly speaking, this is the first time Bai Qi has made a rebellious act in public.
Everyone didn't dare to raise their heads, for fear that they would violate Bai Qi's taboo.
Outside the main hall, a soldier ran quickly, glanced at Bai Qi on the throne with a little surprise, the soldier's face quickly returned to normal, and he knelt directly on the ground and said:
"General Qiyu, Xiao Chen's army has set off from Luozhou and is heading all the way to Kyoto."
"Seven or eight states and counties along the way, either without the ability to resist, or directly disarmed and surrendered, are now ......"
At this point, the soldier's face was embarrassed, and his follow-up words came to an abrupt end.
Bai Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted angrily: "What's the matter now?" ”
Holding back the fear in his heart and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the soldier said in a deep voice: "Now, Xiao Chen's army has arrived at the Tiger Wolf Pass, which is less than a hundred miles away from our Kyoto. ”
Slowly closing his eyes, Bai Qi pondered for a moment, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Good, good, good!" ”
Bai Qi said three good words in a row, and said coldly: "This Xiao Chen is really promising, and the ghost will not go away." Now that he's got to this point, we don't have to hide it anymore. ”
"Notice, from today onwards, the Wei State is decaying, the royal family is dying, and it is held hostage by Xiao Chen, a traitor, in order to return the world to a prosperous and prosperous world, I declare that in the future, the Wei State will no longer be the Wei State, but the Jin State, and I, Bai Qi, will be the first generation of the founding emperor of the Jin State."
"I will lead the people of the Jin Kingdom to repel the traitors and create peace together."
Hearing this, not only the ministers present, but also the generals of the White Tiger Army were a little surprised.
"This ......," the ministers whispered, their faces full of fear.
After enduring it for so long, Bai Qi finally revealed his wolf ambition and ascended the throne as emperor.
But for those generals, a brief shock was followed by a deep ecstasy.
No matter how hard they worked before, it was for the sake of the general after all.
But now it's different, Bai Qi is the emperor, so from now on, their allegiance will be to Your Majesty.
Looking at the people with different expressions in the hall, Bai Qi sneered and said, "The Jin Kingdom has just been established, so naturally we need your support. ”
"But I, Bai Qi, am not a person who is difficult for a strong man, now, I will give you two choices, one, be loyal to the Jin Kingdom, and in the future, you will be the ministers of the humerus of the Jin Kingdom."
"Second, those who leave this place and leave, I will find someone to replace your position and maintain the operation of the Jin Kingdom."
"Now, those who are willing to submit to me Bai Qi stand in the temple, and those who are unwilling can stand outside the temple. I'll give you a stick of incense to choose the time, and then, the time will be handed over to you. ”
Hearing this, the generals who originally belonged to the White Tiger Army knelt down one after another and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty."
It's just that in this way, everyone's eyes have shifted to the ministers who have not yet made their position known.
The ministers present are all former ministers of the Wei State, and now that Bai Qi is the emperor, for these ministers who put loyalty and righteousness on their lips at all times, it is easy to return to the new master, and the mental pressure on them can be imagined.
But despite this, no one dared to do anything.
No one will believe in Bai Qi's independent choice, and if he doesn't take refuge in Bai Qi's fate, it is not something that the loyalty in his mouth and the arrogance in his heart can bear.
After a long time, the first person in the hall finally knelt down.
Soon, the second ...... Third ...... Fourth ......
In less than half a pillar of incense, all the ministers knelt on the ground.
Raising his head and glancing at Bai Qi, whose face was covered with frost on the throne, everyone shouted:
"The ministers are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, and may my emperor live long live, long live, long live!"
……
The news of Bai Qi's proclamation as emperor soon spread to the world.
In Bai Qi's edict to the throne, Xiao Chen was described as a powerful minister who carried the Son of Heaven and respected himself. And he himself is the loyal minister who worked hard to save the Wei family.
But seeing that Xiao Chen's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the people are struggling to make a living, in order to save the people in the world, Bai Qi has no choice but to change the dynasty and strive to seek well-being for the people of the world.
The edict was impassioned, and the whole world was sensational.
Those who don't know the truth are indignant because of this, and they understand what is twisted in it, and they also react. Xiao Chen finally forced Bai Qi into a desperate situation, and the real decisive battle between the two will not be too far.
……
The Imperial Study.
Bai Qi took out the "On the Strategy of Breaking Huazhou" from the backlog of letters, and his expression was complicated.
Detaining Shi Cai, eliminating dissidents, and leading Xiao Chen to attack, everything was originally carried out in accordance with this letter. Even the several state cities that Bai Qi lost were in the calculations of the person who wrote the letter.
But he never expected that the final change was in Luozhou.
According to what was said in the letter, if Xiao Chen won a series of victories, his heart would inevitably swell, and he would not be able to storm Luozhou, so he would naturally reveal many flaws.
At that time, Bai Qi would be able to concentrate his forces, counterattack in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate Xiao Chen.
But it's a pity that in the battle of Luozhou, he was defeated and returned, and everything in this letter has no meaning.
With a long sigh, Bai Qi lit the letter and gently threw it into the brazier.
The door of the imperial study was slowly opened, and Lu Lengyan walked in unhurriedly.
Looking at the woman in front of him wearing a Taoist robe and having a dusty temperament, Bai Qi's eyes were in a trance.
Ordering the attendant to close the door, Bai Qi said, "Does the girl still remember the girl's original sentence to Xiao Chen?" ”
Bai Qi's tone was full of warning, and he looked at the woman in front of him with a dead gaze.
Seeing this situation, Lu Lengyan said unhurriedly: "Nine days of hidden dragons, half of the rivers and mountains. ”
"Half of the country!" Bai Qi sneered: "What a country! ”
With a light snort, Bai Qi suddenly roared: "But now Xiao Chen's hands are almost stretched out to Kyoto, and he has already occupied two-thirds of the rivers and mountains of the Wei Kingdom, but you tell me that half of the rivers and mountains are half?" ”
Lu Lengyan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I was still a general and a character, but now it seems that I am really a little disappointed." ”
Bai Qi's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Lengyan said: "General, now that the war is not over yet, how do you know that Xiao Chen will definitely win, and you will definitely lose?" ”
"Yes, Xiao Chen does occupy most of the territory of Wei now, but the general is not without the possibility of turning the tables against the wind. Now that the general is scolding me here, can I understand me, the general has already decided that he is not Xiao Chen's opponent in his heart? ”
His gaze became deep, Bai Qi clenched his hands tightly, and kept murmuring: "Yes, the war is not over yet, and I haven't lost yet." ”
"Xiao Chen did have the upper hand for a while, but I still have a chance!"
Looking at Bai Qi, who was a little almost crazy, Lu Lengyan smiled coldly and said: "Besides, the sentence I gave to Xiao Chen is half of the country, and I didn't say that it is half of the country of Wei......"
Suddenly widening his pupils, Bai Qi looked at Lu Lengyan in disbelief and said, "What do you mean......"
Lu Lengyan shook his head lightly and said: "General, that's all there is to say, the so-called heavenly machine cannot be exhausted, and the rest can only be comprehended by the general himself." ”
After speaking, Lu Lengyan turned around and left.
Looking at Lu Lengyan's resolute back, a flash of anger suddenly flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he said loudly: "Stop!" ”
Lu Lengyan turned his head and said with a flat smile: "The general still has something?" ”
Bai Qi clenched his fists and said word by word: "From now on, call me Your Majesty!" ”
"I ...... He is the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom! Do you understand? ”
Lu Lengyan smiled dumbly, arched his hand lightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
……
Luozhou, the backyard of Taishou Mansion.
Xiao Chen walked into the courtyard with the edict of Bai Qi's enthronement, and looked at Cao Xun who was looking at a willow tree in a daze in the courtyard, Xiao Chen said softly: "Your Majesty, over there in Kyoto, Bai Qi usurped the throne and ascended the throne. ”
Cao Xun, who heard the news, glanced at Xiao Chen unexpectedly, and then nodded and said, "I know." ”
Xiao Chen walked into the courtyard, handed the edict to Cao Xun and said, "Your Majesty, Bai Qi usurped the throne, you don't have anything to say?" ”
Cao Xun laughed at himself when he heard this: "I'm a waste person now, what can I say?" ”
"Moreover, Bai Qi has long had the intention of usurping the throne, and now he is just telling the world about his ambitions, at this time, people with lofty ideals who are loyal to the previous dynasty will only take refuge in you, isn't this exactly what you want, what else do you want me to say?"
"Tell me how you hide your evil intentions, and tell me that you and that Bai Qi are also all the way?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty is joking, I, Xiao Chen, have always been loyal, where can I be as rebellious as Your Majesty said?" ”
Cao Xun smiled, shook his head lightly and said, "What is it, you know it in your heart, some words are boring if you say it." ”
"It's ...... you"
Cao Xun looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Bai Qi has usurped the throne, what about you, when do you plan to ascend the throne?" ”
Xiao Chen laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you have said it, now that Bai Qi has usurped the throne, it will naturally attract loyal people from the previous dynasty to come and surrender." Although I don't read much, I also know that in this world, people's hearts are the most inviolable. ”
"This kind of thing like usurpation, I Xiao Chen can't do it."
Cao Xun nodded lightly when he heard this, and then patted Xiao Chen's shoulder heavily and said:
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, I really misjudged you at the beginning."
"There is a saying, treacherous like loyalty, great wisdom is foolish. Xiao Chen, I found that these two sentences are very appropriate for you now......"
Xiao Chen bowed: "Weichen, thank you for your praise......"
Some people died, but not completely......
