Chapter 0220: To Each His Heart

In the first month of 344 AD, the city of Zhao Guoye, outside the ten-mile long pavilion.

At this time, Shi Zun, who had only been on the throne for two months, was stopping at the cluster with his ministers and his own honor guard Longteng Guard. Shi Zun is better, he has his own six royal cars, and he can hide in the car to keep warm, but he suffers from accompanying the ministers!

The ministers dare not speak out about this, after all, Shi Zun is the emperor, although his temper is better than that of the first emperor Shi Hu, but he still inherits Shi Hu's brutal genes, moody, if he dares to annoy him, it is not a joke to lose his head.

"Lord Ran, I see, this Da Zhao is about to change." Sikong Wen was next to Dasi Nong Ran Liang, and said in a low voice, "This time, the King of Wei returned to the dynasty in triumph and quelled the Shichong Rebellion, I don't know how Your Majesty will reward the King of Wei." ”

"Shhhh Sikong-sama, be careful. ”

Sikong, ranked among the three dukes, Da Si Nong is one of the nine qing, and the power of the article is obviously higher than that of Ran Liang, but the article has to be confronted by Ran Liang.

You know, Ran Liang is Shi Min's own uncle, this concession, wouldn't it be a chicken dog promotion? What's more, Shi Min's current power is so great, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not change the dynasty in the future, like Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, to change the dynasty, ban Zhao, and establish a Han Rao Empire!

Although the article was an official in the court of Zhao and ranked as the third duke, he was a Han and was essentially rejected by the ruling Qianren!

It can be like this, in the court of Zhao Zhao, the Han Rao officials are three levels lower than the Liang people, and even other Hu Rao officials!

The Yongjia Rebellion has only been a few decades so far, and the Hu people have entered China, and China is bloody. But where do these barbaric Hulu know how to govern the country? Where do you know how to heal people? As long as they don't choose sinicization one day, the Han people in the north will never be able to identify with these Hulu!

Seeing that Ran Liang was so cautious, the article couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Lord Ran, in the temple of my Great Zhao Kingdom, the highest authority of Han civil officials is you and me, what can't you say?" Although there are many people here, but you and I are officials in the same dynasty, how can others eavesdrop on this topic and speculate? ”

Ran Liang shook his head and said, "Lord Sikong, I know what you mean. But King Wei didn't show any trace of his heart to the old man, so you don't have to go to great lengths to test the old man. ”

When the article heard this, he sneered: "Okay. Lord Ran, the old man knows that you and King Wei are both cautious people. However, on the day of the 15th Lantern Festival, the old man wants to invite you and King Wei to the old man's mansion for a while to spend the festival together. ”

"I will only be King Wei." Ran Liang bowed slightly, and then stopped speaking.

At the same time, as a feudal official, Pu Hong, a prince of one side, also talked with Yao Yizhong.

Pu Hong said worriedly: "Xiangping Gong, right now, Shi Min's son has gained power, and he is already Tao's power, but I am afraid that now that Shi Chong's rebels have been eliminated and the victory is returned, his arrogance will be even more unbeatable." ”

Hearing this, Yao Yizhong just raised his eyelids, closed his eyes and shivered: "Why is Brother Guangshi (Pu Hongzi) so worried? King Wei has won many battles, relying on his own ability and His Majesty's trust. What Brother Guangshi said can be put into my ears, and don't let anyone know. ”

"Hehe, isn't Xiangping Gong afraid of Shi Min? Although Shi Min's current power is as good as the sun, no one can reach the government and the opposition, but his merits are high, and it is inevitable that there will be no Han and Bai. ”

The Han and Bai things in Pu Hong's mouth are typical cases of cunning rabbits and dead lackeys.

Of course, this is not the case.

After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi was jealous of King Qin Zhao and was given death to Du You.

But the Six Kingdoms at that time were not destroyed, but with the prestige of the Qin State under the monopoly of the Qin State at that time, as well as the Warring States pattern after the Battle of Changping, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong were destroyed and destroyed.

There is also Han Xin, who lost his role after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty in the Battle of Qixia (perhaps Liu Bang believed that after Xiang Yu's death, the princes of all walks of life could no longer stop their own pace of unification).

Han Xingong was the lord of Gao Zhen, from the original King of Qi, to the King of Chu, and finally the Marquis of Huaiyin. Han Xin's fate can be described as very tragic, Empress Lu conspired with Xiangguo Xiao He to trick him into the Changle Palace, beheaded in the bell room, and razed his three clans.

Similarly, when Han Xin was "cooked", the cunning rabbit was not finished.

At least Peng Yue and Yingbu, these kings with different surnames, still rose up to resist.

Hearing Pu Hong's words, Yao Yizhong's face sank: "Duke of Xiping County (Pu Hong's title), what do you mean by this?" ”

"Haha, Xiangping Gong doesn't have to worry. This duke is just a little emotional, King Wei's merits are so great, he is already a minister, and he can't be sealed, I don't know how His Majesty will reward him later? ”

"That's up to you and me. Xiping Jungong, why are you worried about it here? ”

"Xiangping Gong, whether this father is unfounded or not, you should know it in your heart. If Shi Min is Han and Bai, I'm afraid that Shi Min has the heart of Cao Mengde and Sima Yi...... If he really has a heart of disobedience, how can you and I deal with ourselves? ”

Yao Yizhong was silent for a while: "What do you mean?" ”

"Since the beginning of the Great Zhao State, there have been many feudal officials who support the army and respect themselves, and you and I are both one of them. I see that Shi Min has no forgiveness and will never tolerate it, under his rule, there are still separatist forces who listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda. ”

Pu Hong sighed and said, "Xiangping Gong, you and I are well aware of the current situation." Since the death of the first emperor, there is no one to clamp Shi Min, and now His Majesty, named Zi, is really a puppet! Shi Min is in charge of two or three hundred thousand soldiers, and there are not a few people who obey his orders, and there are many ministers in the court who are close to him. ”

"Xiping County Prince, be cautious."

"Xiangping Gong, I thought you were a hero who was not afraid of power, but I didn't expect you to be like those mediocre ministers in the court, you would only tend to be inflammatory, and you had no discipline!"

Pu Hong's words were really loud enough, attracting the attention of many nearby ministers.

"Pu Hong, you don't want it anymore." Yao Yizhong said with a cold face, "The old man thinks of the old relationship with you, and today's things are not over for you." As long as the King of Wei is still the courtier of Da Zhao, and the Shi family is still in charge, I, Yao Yizhong, will not doubt him and do my own thing wholeheartedly. I hope you do the same. ”

After saying that, Yao Yizhong immediately stepped aside and ignored Pu Hong.

Seeing this, Pu Hong couldn't help but feel a burst of resentment in his heart, and secretly scolded: This Yao Yizhong is really a stinky and hard stone, and he can't eat the ancients! Rotten wood cannot be carved!

No wonder Pu Hong is so indignant, according to his original plan, he and Yao Yizhong, as the two major princes of the Zhao Kingdom, if they join forces, why be afraid of Shi Min alone?

If you can't beat it, you can run back, and if you can't beat it, you can still attach to the Jin Kingdom!

But what Pu Hong never expected was that Yao Yizhong would be so stupid! There is still hope for Zhao Guo, a big ship that has long been broken and is about to fall apart!

Up, Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong's experiences are quite similar, and their positions are comparable.

Pu Hong is the representative of the Qiangrao forces, and Yao Yizhong is the representative of the Qiangrao forces.

Pu Hong, a native of Linwei (Longcheng, Qin'an, Gansu), of the Di nationality, the son of the tribal handsome Pu Huaigui, the father of the former Qin Jingming Emperor Fu Jian, and the founder of the former Qin regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Pu Hong is good at charity, has many opportunities and strategies, is brave and mighty, good at riding and shooting, and has successively attached to the former Zhao and the latter Zhao (羯zhao).

And Yao Yizhong, in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, led his troops to migrate east to Yumei (now Qianyangdong, Shaanxi), with tens of thousands. He successively took refuge in the former Zhao and the latter Zhao.

In Shihu, in 333 A.D., Yao Yizhong led his subordinates to move to the developed area of Qinghe's Hutou (now Zaoqiang County, Hebei), and was appointed as the governor of the festival, ten counties and six Yi, and the champion general.

Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong's experiences and achievements are very similar, in the original history, their sons were both called emperors, and they were posthumously named "Taizu".

However, the only difference between this is that Pu Hong is more cunning and has long been disobedient, while Yao Yizhong is relatively loyal to the Shi regime.

Yao Yizhong is an upright person.

Before, after Shi Hu abolished Emperor Wen Zhao Shi Hong established himself as the emperor, Yao Yizhong said that he was sick and did not come to congratulate him, and he was summoned by Shi Hu continuously, and had a serious attitude towards Shi Hu, you are an assistant minister, why did you seize power instead?

Shi Hu didn't blame Yao Yizhong for his uprightness, so he moved him to be the governor of the festival, the governor of the ten counties and six yi, and the champion general.

Historically, in the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Gao Li's governor Liang Qian and his subordinates mutinied, and defeated Li Nong, who was sent by Shi Hu to crusade, in Xingyang.

Shi Hu was terrified at the time, and summoned Yao Yizhong and Yan Wang Shi Bin to crusade against Liang Qian. Yao Yizhong led his troops of more than 8,000 people to ride to the capital Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province). At that time, Shi Hu was seriously ill and could not be met immediately, so he only rewarded Yao Yizhong with wine and food first.

Yao Yizhong was angry and didn't eat, "Call me to fight the thief, how can you come to forage for evil spirits!" I don't know whether to survive or die, but if I see it, I don't hate it. After Shi Hu received the meeting, he awarded Yao Yizhong the envoy to hold the festival, serve the general of the west, and give the armored horse.

Then Yao Yizhong came out without resignation, rode his horse to the south, broke the rebels, and killed Liang Li! Because of the merit and the sword to go to the palace, enter the dynasty and enter the Xiping County.

After Shi Hu's death, the crown prince Shi Shi succeeded to the throne, and Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong and others who returned from the expedition to Liang also returned to the army at this time, and met with Shi Zun, the king of Pengcheng, in Licheng (now Wen County, Henan), and jointly persuaded Shi Zun to raise troops to seize the throne. Shi Zun then raised troops, and soon killed Shi Shi to succeed to the throne, and gave Ran Min the power of the army. However, soon Ran Min abolished Shi Zun, established Shi Jian as the emperor, and mastered the government.

Xinxing Wang Shiyi then joined forces with Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong to move to defeat Ran Min.

Then Ran Min killed Shi Jian and killed the Shi clan, Yao Yizhong led the crowd to crusade against Ran Min and moved his troops to Chaoqiao.

Soon Shi Yi ascended the throne as the emperor in Xiangguo, with Yao Yizhong as the right prime minister, and was crowned the prince of Zhao, and treated him with great courtesy.

In the seventh year of Yonghe (351), Ran Min besieged Xiangguo, and Yao Yizhong ordered his son Yao Xiang to lead troops to rescue Shi Yi, and cooperated with the actions of Zhang Ju, the Taiwei of Later Zhao, and sent an envoy to Qianyan for help. In the end, under the attack of Shi Kun, Yao Xiang, the former Yan army and the defenders of Xiangguo, the besieging Ran Min was defeated and retreated to Yecheng.

Although Yao Xiang won, because he did not capture Ran Min at Yao Yizhong's request before departure, he was beaten by Yao Yizhong with a cane and punished with a hundred punishments.

With the killing of Shi Yi, Later Zhao perished.

Yao Yizhong said to his sons when he was sick: "The Shi family treats me well, and I originally wanted to try my best to help them. Now the Shi clan has been destroyed, and there is no owner in the Central Plains; After I die, you must return to the Jin Chamber as soon as possible, and stick to the courtiers' festivals, and do not do unrighteous things. ”

So he sent an envoy to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was awarded the envoy Jiejie, the governor of Liuyi, the governor of Jianghuai, the general of the chariot and cavalry, the three divisions of Yitong, and the big single Yu, and was awarded the title of Gaoling County Duke.

In the eighth year of Yonghe (352), Yao Yizhong died at the age of seventy-three.

His fifth son, Yao Xiang, continued to dominate his people. Yao Xiang was defeated by Fu Sheng, Yao Yizhong's coffin was obtained, and Fu Sheng buried Yao Yizhong in Shuiji County with a royal ceremony.

Later, when Yao Yizhong's twenty-fourth son Yao Chang was called the Later Qin Emperor, he posthumously called Yao Yizhong the Jingyuan Emperor, the ancestor of the temple number, and his tomb was called Gaoling.
