Chapter 143: Mingjun
"Queen!"
Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing appeared in front of Mrs. Zhu at this moment.
Madame Zhu is Sun Xiu's empress.
At the same time, she is also the daughter of the Zhu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, her father is the late hussar general Zhu Ju, and her mother is Sun Luyu, that is, Princess Zhu who was persecuted and died by Sun Luban
Strictly speaking, Sun Xiu is her uncle, her uncle, and her mother's own brother.
But for the big family, as long as it is not the same surname, it is not a big problem, and it is not uncommon for an uncle to marry a niece, which is the case with Liu Ying, the Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty in the former Han Dynasty.
She looks a little cold, her temperament is elegant and refined, and her demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, which is very compatible with Sun Xiu.
After learning the sad news of Sun Xiu's death, her eyes were red, but she never shed tears.
Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing glanced at each other, and Pu Yangxing said: "Queen, Your Majesty has died, and we are extremely sad, but the world cannot be left without a master for a day, and the matter of the new monarch should be cautious." ”
Empress Zhu deserved to be from a big family, and she soon eased up, she looked at the two people in front of her, and said, "That's the truth, what do you two command?" ”
Zhang Bu didn't speak, slowly took a few steps back, and Pu Yangxing opened his mouth as the prime minister.
"Empress, when the situation today has reached a very urgent point, Cao Thief is ready to move, Wang Ji's army is in Jingnan, and Huo Yi's army is in Jiaozhou, they are all trying in vain to plunder Jiangdong."
"And there are many rebellions inside, the prince is still young, and I want him to solve these many difficult things, but I'm afraid it's not easy."
Pu Yangxing said it very tactfully.
Of course, Empress Zhu also understood what they meant.
In fact, although Empress Zhu has an outstanding temperament, she has a cold personality and will never interfere in the major affairs of the temple.
During Sun Xiu's reign, she did not participate in or be involved in any court politics.
Even if it was her son who was talking at the moment, Queen Zhu was not moved at all.
She looked calmly at the two favored servants in front of her, who were trusted by her husband.
I still remember that before Sun Xiu died, he took her hand and swore to tell her not to worry about what happened after her death, and that the two ministers would help her and support their children to ascend the throne.
can see the performance of the two people in front of her, and then think of Sun Xiu's words, Queen Zhu only felt inexplicably ironic.
Sun Xiu just closed his eyes, but the two people in front of him did not have the slightest sadness, and came non-stop to ask for a replacement of the successor.
Well, her husband's vision is really good, and he found two very good ministers to explain the future.
Seeing Empress Zhu, who was silent, Pu Yangxing said again: "The queen didn't know, just before Your Majesty closed her eyes, Fang Cai took my hand, pointed at the prince, and signaled that the prince was young and could not be entrusted with big things. ”
Empress Zhu knows the truth here very well, what Sun Xiu will say, she probably knows best.
But what can you do?
Even if she has the status of the queen and even the queen mother, it is impossible to complete Sun Xiu's instructions without the support of the minister.
She has no foundation in the court, and with the support of her people, it is not enough to compete with everyone.
What's more, even the two people Sun Xiu has high hopes for are like this, what can he do?
Empress Zhu immediately accepted the reality.
She calmly looked at the two people in front of her, and said coldly: "I'm just a widow now, how can I know about the major affairs of Sheji?" ”
"As long as you can guarantee that things will not damage the temple and make the clan rely on it, I will not object."
There was a bit of sarcasm in her words.
When Zhang Bu heard this, he was suddenly a little unnatural, but Pu Yangxing felt that it was no big deal, he hurriedly asked the queen to give an order, and he recommended Sun Hao to the queen.
Of course, Empress Zhu knew Sun Hao, but she was Sun Hao's cousin, so she had no objection.
With the help of the Queen, the whole thing became simpler.
Pu Yangxing immediately announced the news of the emperor's death, and the entire Jianye couldn't help but be shaken, and the ministers were frightened.
Pu Yangxing single-handedly handled many of the emperor's affairs, he seems to have rehearsed many times, and he still looks decent, and there are no mistakes.
At this moment, the ministers are most worried about the prince's problem.
However, less than three days after Sun Xiu's death, Pu Yangxing gathered his ministers and discussed the important matter of choosing a virtuous clan.
To be honest, the ministers were stunned at the moment.
Originally, the ministers were ready to fight with Zhang Bu Puyang Xing, because they firmly believed that the emperor would definitely entrust them with the future affairs and let them support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and these people who did not want the young prince to ascend the throne naturally had to fight against these two people.
However, no one expected that they would take the lead in talking about it.
After the ministers negotiated seriously, they agreed to Pu Yangxing's suggestion, and even Pu Yangxing's reputation became a lot better because of this, and many ministers no longer hated him so much.
The temple made a decision, and quickly sent people to meet Sun Hao and proclaimed him emperor.
All this happened so quickly, Sun Hao, who was not yet twenty years old, became the emperor of Wu in such a daze.
He came to Jianye and worshiped Sun Xiu.
After negotiation, the ministers gave Sun Xiu the nickname of Emperor Jing.
Sun Hao also met with Empress Zhu and Sun Xiu's many heirs, and said that he would definitely take care of them.
Sun Hao's enthronement ceremony was very fast, and the Wu people were used to this rhythm, after all, they often did it.
After completing his ascension to the throne, Sun Hao quickly issued several orders, the first of which was to change Yuan Yuanxing.
Immediately, he rewarded the left great Sima for his achievements, promoted his title, gave him land and special treatment, canonized Ding Feng as the right great Sima, named Zhang Bu as the hussar general's leader, and used Wan Yu to serve as a regular attendant in the free cavalry
His lavish reward made the ministers extremely satisfied.
Sun Hao sat on the top seat, looking at the ministers kneeling in front of him, his face was surprised and happy.
He couldn't imagine that he had really become the emperor of Wu.
Looking at those lowered heads, for some reason, Sun Hao only felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart, and an indescribable emotional spark burned in him, which made his breathing become short.
The ministers were all waiting for the emperor to speak.
Sun Hao took a deep breath and looked at Wan Yu, who had always supported him, Wan Yu nodded at him and motioned for him to speak boldly.
Only then did Sun Hao speak: "I think that to govern the world, we must be benevolent and generous, and to implement benevolent government, we must not chill the people!" ”
Hearing this, the ministers looked at each other.
Sun Hao cleared his throat and issued his first policy.
"From now on, stop building lakes and fields, no one is allowed to disturb the people, and all county officials must comfort the people, let them open the granary, and take out the grain to help the poor people! Let them cultivate the land on their own land and cultivate it! ”
Hearing this, Pu Yangxing's face turned pale.
But several ministers only felt trembling at the moment, and they looked at Sun Hao in disbelief, a little unable to believe what they had heard.
Seeing their expressions, Sun Hao looked at Wan Yu again hesitantly, Wan Yu smiled and nodded, letting him continue.
Sun Hao continued: "When there is a crisis today, I also see the suffering of the people everywhere, in order to relieve them, I plan to reduce the slaves and maids in the palace, release those superfluous rare birds and beasts, and reduce my own expenses."
When Sun Hao announced a series of policies, the entire temple was almost boiling.
Some people rejoice and some people worry.
After sending everyone away, Sun Hao's face was full of joy, and Wan Yu followed him and led him to the inner hall.
"Wan Gong, how am I doing?"
Wan Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worthy of being a benevolent monarch!" Today's edict is enough to make Jiangdong return to his heart! ”
Sun Hao was extremely happy when he heard this compliment, and couldn't help laughing.
"Wan Gong, what should we do about the appointment and dismissal of officials next?"
Sun Hao said with some worry: "The officials in charge of this palace should have been filled with people close to them, but there are too few people close to me, and you are the only one."
Wan Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, many things in the palace are very important, and they cannot be easily disclosed, so you can't use people close to you, you should use people with high morals, and the same is true when choosing officials, if you ignore their morality because of intimacy, it will definitely cause turmoil." ”
Sun Hao immediately agreed to him and said that he would choose a virtuous person to serve as him.
When Sun Hao's edict came out, Wu Guo, who was still immersed in grief, suddenly became excited.
Those ministers who have a heart for society are all indescribably moved at this moment, and even Lu Kang almost cried at this moment.
Heaven has eyes, this is a benevolent monarch!
Wu Guo was suddenly excited, thinking that this emperor must be a model of benevolence who can surpass many previous emperors!
After Sun Hao ascended the throne, the decline of Wu was swept away, and the upper and lower levels began to be busy, the construction of the lake field was stopped, the people were able to go home, and the officials also took out food for relief, and the soldiers were extremely encouraged, and even the defection disappeared without a trace.
The news of Sun Xiu's death and Sun Hao's ascension to the throne reached Cao Wei's side at the same time.
Soon he was sent to the Taiji Hall.
Cao Chao looked at the news in his hand, a little stunned, how could he feel a little wrong.
Sun Xiu seems to have left ahead of schedule, and this Sun Hao, why is this not at all consistent with the memory in his mind?
Isn't that something more anthropomorphic than anthropomorphic? How do you feel more righteous than yourself? Even Cao Chao did not order the granaries to be opened for distribution to the poor.
This incident also caused a great sensation in the Wei State, and many ministers felt that the crusade against the Wu State was going to be difficult.
However, Cao Chao didn't feel depressed, even if there was a powerful king, what could he do?
The unification of Wei has long been unstoppable, and it is impossible for either Lu Kang or Sun Hao to change anything.
