Liao, Shangdu, Liao Emperor Yelu Qimu summoned Xiao Linfeng, the minister of Liao, Yelu Bofan, the privy envoy, Wang Jiangliang, the secretary of the Soldiers and Horses, Bonnard, the secretary of gold and silver, and Guo Zi'an, the privy envoy, to discuss in the Golden Dragon Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received news from the secret agent that Chu Pingzhe, the Emperor of Southern Zhao, is dead, and he is replaced by a twelve-year-old doll, and the auxiliary is the Empress Dowager of Zhao State." The chubby Liao Emperor Yelu Qimu sat on the dragon chair and forcibly said a piece of news excitedly.

The people of the Liao State instantly became excited when they heard the news, in their eyes, the emperor of the south is a male lord with great talent and strategy, he only took more than ten years to pull the Zhao State, which was originally poor and weak, and could only be pressed and beaten by the Great Liao, to a position that can defeat the Liao army, recover the lost territory and have the ability to compete with the Great Liao State.

If God gives this emperor another ten years, the situation between Zhao and Liao may have to be reversed.

Now the person who gave them great pressure died of a sudden illness, and indirectly led to the chaos in the Zhao State, which made the hundred officials of the Liao State see an opportunity, an opportunity to restore the glory of the Great Liao and suppress the Zhao State, and if possible, they will hit the capital of the Zhao State again and force the Zhao State to sign an alliance under the city.

"Saint! Is the message confirmed? "Of course, excitement is excitement, Prime Minister Xiao Linfeng is still very vigilant, in case this is fake news released by Zhao Guo, it will be worth the loss to lure them.

Yelu Qimu glanced at the secret fold again and nodded, "Yes, in order to get this news, our secret agents in Zhao Kingdom have almost lost everything." ”

After getting Yelu Qimu's confirmation, the Liao officials present were full of blood and blood, full of ruddy, and shouted one by one to send troops to the south.

"Saints, send troops!"

"Sage, this is my perfect opportunity for Da Liao to destroy Nan Zhao!"

"Sage ......"

Although Yelu Qimu was also excited, out of the majesty of the emperor, he still patted the table, "Quiet! What a mess it is! ”

Prime Minister Xiao Linfeng stood in the middle and said: "Sage, if the news is confirmed, then this is a great opportunity for my Great Liao to unify the world, and the Great Liao can take advantage of the chaos of the Southern Zhao State to raise the army of the country to the south to destroy the Southern Zhao in one fell swoop, and then go west to conquer Western Xia and Guge, open up the Western Regions Corridor, and then send troops to the west to capture Wusun and other countries, and then destroy Goryeo and Gaoshan in the east, forming a flanking attack on Mobei, and then send troops to the Northern Expedition to destroy the Mobei Khan Court and unify the world!" ”

After Xiao Linfeng finished speaking, everyone present fantasized about the moment when Da Liao would unify the world in the future and restore the glory of the former Tang Dynasty.

But in addition to more radical people like Xiang Xiao Linfeng, there are others who are more secure

"Sage, although this is my great opportunity for Da Liao, but the old queen mother in the south is not a simple character, compared to Xiao Yunzhou, Chen Run'an auxiliary government, Qin and Wei two kings suppressed the domestic kings, Yang Zhicai guarded the country, Pang Ji guarded the frontier, there are still 800,000 soldiers in the country, millions of county soldiers, and Wu Xingxue is not dead.

At this moment, it is extremely difficult for my Da Liao to forcibly destroy the Southern Zhao, although there is a slight possibility, but the destruction of the Southern Zhao will inevitably damage the national strength of our country, if Mobei takes the opportunity to attack my northern border, my Da Liao will not be the left wedding dress for them. The Privy Counsellor Jerubovan stood up and spoke discordant.

Yelu Qimu glanced at him, rubbed his fingers gently, and thought about it carefully, what Yelu Bofan said was right, Yelu Qimu leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to think about what the two said.

At this time, Guo Zi'an, the privy envoy sitting behind Yelu Bofan, stood up, brushed his clothes and armor, and said, "Sage, although Lord Yelu's words are very reasonable, although Nanzhao has 800,000 troops, the troops in the west, southwest, south, and east cannot be mobilized in a short period of time, and those who can be mobilized are those who usually work as farmers.

It can be said that the only mobile troops that Nanzhao can use to compete with our Great Liao are the 300,000 northern border troops and 100,000 Beijing camp troops, and if Your Majesty makes up his mind to use the strength of the whole country to attack Zhao, within half a month, my Great Liao can mobilize 700,000 troops to the border, half of which are cavalry troops, as well as heavy armored soldiers, heavy armored cavalry, their mobility and combat ability are much stronger than those of Southern Zhao, even if they can't destroy Southern Zhao, but the ability to quickly occupy the four or five county soldiers of Southern Zhao is still under the capital of their country, if they wait for two months, Nearly a million troops can be mobilized from all over the country!

The minister didn't believe it, a million army of people spat at each mouthful, and they couldn't drown them! ”

The Liao army is divided into the southern army, the northern army, the middle army, the northern army is led by the Khitan Yelu Bofan, and the troops are mostly Khitans, Xi people, Linhai people, Pingshan people and other ethnic groups, the total number is more than 400,000, because the main defense of the north of Mobei, so most of the cavalry.

The southern army is led by Guo Zi'an, the most trusted Han man of Yelu Qimu, and its troops are mostly Han people along the six states in the north and the Jing River, the total number of An people is nearly one million, because of the battle with the Zhao army, most of them are mainly infantry but there are still more than 100,000 cavalry, and the Chinese army is led by the emperor, composed of outstanding personnel in each army, the total number of more than 200,000 is more than 200,000 heavy armored soldiers, and its 8,000 iron floating Tu is a man with heavy armor, invulnerable.

"In the battle between the two countries, the strength of the army is the decisive factor in determining the survival or death, I have many soldiers and strong military strength, I can decide the life and death of Zhao State!" Yelu Qimu opened his eyes, looked around at the crowd, and stood up to make his decision

"I have decided to go south and conquer Zhao!"

"Old Ancestor, last night the dark department found a total of fourteen teams, intercepted twelve spies from other countries, and among the two fleeing secret departments, one team entered the Liao country and the other team entered Western Xia. It is estimated that the news of the death of the first emperor is already known to the emperors of the two countries. "In the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager is reviewing today's recital, and Mama Chang, who received Chu Haowen this morning, is grinding and reporting yesterday's situation.

The Empress Dowager was obviously mentally prepared for this matter, and continued to review without raising her head, "Have you found out their nest?" ”

"The Liao State has been found, in the imperial city, the secret guards have surrounded them, just waiting for your order."

"Kill! Not a single one is left. The Empress Dowager put down her pen and took a sip of tea, her eyes flashing with fierceness.

Three days later, that is, the auspicious day calculated by Qin Tian, today the Daxing Emperor of the Zhao Empire will be buried.

The burial process of the emperor of Zhao State, first by the coffin carrying team of 72 people, the emperor's coffin was carried out by the Taishan Palace, and the 64 people who walked in the front were holding high the soul flag. The new emperor sat on a sedan chair carried by 60 people, walked behind the coffin, behind which was composed of members of the royal family and hundreds of officials of the imperial court, and then behind was the emperor's honor guard composed of 1,628 people, who held weapons, flags and paper ties, and burned alive. Then there are the heavily armed Imperial Guards, and finally the dead soldiers of the first emperor, who will live in the imperial tomb forever for the rest of their lives until they die. In the funeral procession, there are a large number of monks, Taoist priests, etc., who are dressed in Dharma robes, holding law enforcement instruments, and constantly chanting.

After exiting the Xuanwu Gate and entering Desheng Street, a large number of people on both sides of the street knelt down to bid farewell to the Daxing Emperor, and the whole street was white, and no other colors were allowed to be seen.

Out of Bei'anmen, walk twenty miles to arrive at the mausoleum of the Emperor Daxing, these twenty miles, out of the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress dowager can drink a few sips of water, eat a few bites of cakes, others are not allowed to drink water and eat.

After entering the mausoleum area, the mages and monks appointed by the imperial court first chanted and read the scriptures, then killed the white horse to worship the first emperor, and finally put the coffin into the mausoleum, closed the underground palace and the tomb road, and everyone withdrew from the mausoleum.

Unlike before, because the current treasury is difficult to come up with money, the funeral of the first emperor and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor were placed on the same day.

After leaving the mausoleum area, the team returned to the imperial city, first came to the Xianyun Hall to burn incense and worship the emperors of the past dynasties, and then came to the Qiankun Hall under the embrace of everyone.

At this time, Chu Haowen also changed his plain clothes into a crown dress, with a crown composed of 12-inch long multicolored strings on his head, and the jade beads strung on these spikes were arranged in order of Zhu, Bai, Cang, Huang, and Xuan.

As the nine eunuchs threw out the long whip in their hands, and the musicians played the chapter of Xianping, Chu Haowen entered the Qiankun Hall under the guidance of Mo Feng, followed by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, walked up ninety-nine steps, entered the interior of the Qiankun Palace, and then went up nine steps, and then walked to the front of the dragon chair, at this time Chu Haowen was extremely nervous, as long as he sat down, he Chu Haowen was the emperor recognized by the world.

Just as Chu Haowen was about to sit down, the King of Chengyang, who was standing below, suddenly stood up and kept walking forward, "Stop!" How can you be worthy of the throne of my Great Zhao! ”

Chu Pingyu, the king of Chengyang, is the ninth brother of Chu Pingxiong, his mother died early, and Chu Pingxiong lived in the frontier since he was a child, and after Chu Pingxiong ascended the throne, he took it to the imperial city, let him command the Beijing camp, and made many contributions in the war against Northern Liao, and won the trust of Chu Pingxiong.

"King Chengyang! What are you crazy about here! "King Chengyang's actions frightened everyone present, at the emperor's enthronement ceremony, he dared to scold the new monarch on the spot, if he didn't want to rebel, the pure little head melon seed is not very good.

"Chu Pingyu! You give me back! King Wei stared at King Chengyang with anger on his face, scolding him to let him return to his position, although he may have guessed what King Chengyang was going to do, but in the end he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

"Uncle Wei, how can you do this? My Da Zhao's throne should be given to the orthodox Chu surname royal seat, how can I let a wild seed seat that I don't know where it comes from? King Chengyang walked up to King Wei and whispered as if he was crazy.

Congratulations King Wei, you guessed it!

King Chengyang laughed at the hundred officials behind him like a pervert, "Since you are afraid of this old woman on the stage, then I, Chu Pingyu, will clean up the rebellion for Da Zhao." ”

As he spoke, Chu Pingyu pulled out the sword at his waist, and suddenly there was a loud shout of killing outside the Qiankun Palace, and hundreds of soldiers rushed into the hall with blades in hand.

"Chu Pingyu! You've really rebelled! Seeing that King Chengyang dared to rebel in public, King Wei trembled with anger at the moment.

"King Chengyang! Aren't you afraid of being stinking for 10,000 years? ”

"King Chengyang! You're a big rebel! ”

King Chengyang's actions caused countless officials to criticize him, and even Murong Xuekite, who had just become the queen mother, stood up and pointed at King Chengyang and scolded.

"Chu Pingyu! In vain, the first emperor treated you like a brother back then! Is this how you repay the first emperor! ”

Chu Pingyu snorted coldly, raised his sword, and swept towards everyone present with vicious eyes, "Shut up to this king!" ”

"Sister-in-law, it is precisely because the first emperor treated me like a brother back then, so this king can't let the foundation he worked so hard to be taken away by an outsider!" At this time, Chu Ping's public opinion was full of spirit, and now in this hall, the civil and military officials are almost under his control, what else is he afraid of?

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Pingyu, who was crazy a few times, but instead of the slightest excitement, she gently patted Murong Xue Kite next to her and motioned for her to sit down, "Pingyu, you are the closest brother of the first emperor, and the mourning family will give you one last chance, as long as you stop, you are still the king of Chengyang of Da Zhao." ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Give me a chance? Old thing, aren't you old and confused? Could you please see if the current situation is good? My people have surrounded you? Your Praetorian Guard has been wiped out, give me a chance? Amusing! Chu Pingyu, on the other hand, seemed to have heard some ridiculous jokes, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing twice, Chu Pingyu's eyes instantly turned cold, "Come on!" Pull this little emperor down for me! ”

Suddenly, the sound of fighting outside stopped, and a warrior in golden armor rushed in, directly surrounding Chu Pingyu's people, and the general who took the lead directly ignored Chu Pingyu and walked under the throne, "The ruling envoy of the Praetorian Guard, Kang An, inform Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the rebels outside the palace have all been wiped out by the Praetorian Guard." ”

"Kang Android! Fuck off! Seeing the person coming, Chu Pingyu was also extremely surprised, a minute ago, this person still accepted his bribe, leading most of the Praetorian Guards to mutiny allies, but at this moment he led people to strangle his own team.

"Do you think a few chests of gold will make the Janissaries of the loyal and imperial court rebel?" The Empress Dowager is still calm and light-hearted, and all this seems to be a game she has done.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so calm, Chu Pingyu was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly sneered, "It turns out that you have always known." "The words are all mockery of myself.

"Good! It's so good, it turns out that I'm the stupidest person in the world! After the words fell, Chu Pingyu turned his head and looked at the minister queue on the right with complicated eyes, with very complicated feelings in his eyes.

In an instant, Chu Pingyu looked up at Chu Haowen who was sitting on the dragon chair again, "Boy, listen to your uncle's advice, don't trust anyone present too much." ”

As the saying goes, people are good at their words, although I don't know what kind of thoughts Chu Pingyu had in mind to say this sentence to Chu Haowen, but the facts in the future have proved that this sentence is really true.

After saying everything, Chu Pingyu glanced at the people present, and laughed disdainfully, "A circle of cunning and treacherous people!" As he spoke, he raised his sword and wiped his neck.

"Carry it down and bury it according to the ceremony of the king of the county." Looking at Chu Pingyu who fell on top of the main hall, even the Empress Dowager couldn't help sighing, if this person did not rebel, he would definitely be Chu Haowen's right-hand man in the future, but unfortunately there is no if in the world.
