Chapter 249: Listen to the government
Although to a certain extent, Zu Ti is also a heroic faction, and when he raised military funds, he would rob Nantang from time to time, and he was almost the enemy of the wealthy family.
But after his Northern Expedition, Zu Ti was able to unite the local heroes, should be patient and patient, should be friendly and friendly, unite the heroes who came out of the homeless people and the dock fort, and become the fortress of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stationed in the Central Plains.
If Zu Ti is ruthless, he may not be able to be the king at this time, but Zu Ti is really a loyal minister, and he also suppressed Wang Dun with one hand, at least Zu Ti is not dead, and Wang Dun is not chaotic!
Therefore, whether to give up attacking Liu Tai, and then take advantage of the situation to crusade against Da Zhao, who lost 150,000 elites and monarch Liu Yao, decisively sent this news to Sima Rui and Wang Dao.
And when Zu Ti issued this report, he already had the intention of giving up the Northern Expedition and competing with Liu Tai.
After all, Liu Tai had captured Liu Yao and besieged Shile, and the war in the north had subsided, and the entire northern force was reintegrated by Liu Tai.
I am now going on a northern expedition, although the weather is freezing and the Yellow River is frozen, and it is impossible for Liu Tai's fleet to cut off the Yellow River, but I am really sure that I am facing Liu Tai, who is full of morale and full tail troops!?
Compared with the decision-makers in the rear, who defeated and destroyed at every turn, but for the front-line generals, they can feel how terrifying Liu Tai is in the face, after all, Liu Tai will always win more with less, and he will always be undefeated.
Zu Ti knew very well that Liu Tai wrote this letter to himself at this moment, not because Liu Tai couldn't defeat him, but because Liu Tai wanted to digest the results of defeating Shi Le and Liu Yao, so he didn't mean to continue to confront himself.
If he chooses to accept Liu Tai's kindness, then when Liu Tai raises the butcher's knife next time, even he may not be able to resist.
Because Zu Ti's judgment on Liu Tai is that as long as Liu Tai takes the initiative to start a decisive battle, he must have met the conditions for Liu Tai to win, even if in the eyes of others, he should be five or five against Liu Tai.
But if you don't accept Liu Tai's kindness, you will waste food here in vain, and you don't think it's cost-effective.
At least as Wang Ming said, aiming at the current Da Zhao is definitely more promising!
It is impossible for Zu Li to make such a decision, after all, although Zu Li is unhappy with Sima Rui and Director Wang, he is also grateful to Sima Rui for his support at the beginning.
At least Sima Rui gave himself a name, this was his first ticket to the stage of the Northern Expedition.
This kind of thing is really nothing to modern people, you can't give enough pay, then you will vote for someone else, but in this era, the grace of knowing is almost necessary to let subordinates use their lives to repay.
Although Zu Ti became emperor with Sima Rui, he gradually understood the reason for his lack of interest in attacking the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, but this did not prevent Zu Ti from being loyal to Sima Rui, after all, he was not Wang Dun or Hengxuan.
Therefore, this kind of thing that should go through the procedure, Zu Li has to go.
At most, sometimes I will play a trick, and I will not be subject to foreign military orders, or in other words, I have already completed the procedure in a down-to-earth manner, so don't you lose face!
But Zu Ti still understands what will happen if he attacks Luoyang and Chang'an, so he still consciously reports to Wang Dao and Sima Rui, Liu Tai can't fight now, Luoyang wants to fight, give me a word!
Of course, at this time, Zu Ti was waiting for Wang Dao and Sima Rui's reply, and Cui Yue had also arrived in the stormy Chang'an.
When Cui Yue came with his entourage, he was naturally frank and unrestrained, but everywhere he passed, he saw the depression of Luoyang.
Even the local people in Chang'an, whether they were Hu or Han, looked at Cui Yue's eyes with fear and disgust.
After all, Liu Yao had a real 150,000 soldiers under his command, although Luoyang migrated all the way from Pingyang, and he filled the population of Chang'an with the population of Pingyang, the capital of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.
For anyone, the loss of 150,000 soldiers can definitely be regarded as a nerve-wracking, and the entire Great Zhao even lost his own founding emperor.
It can be said that from politics to people's hearts, the current Zhao State is probably a bit like Shu Han who went to Yiling for a tour, and basically all the capital was lost.
After the Battle of Yiling, there was still Zhuge Liang to support Shu Han, and now the people who really support Shu Han in Zhao State are Yang Xianrong.
I have to say that as a woman who has been ruined, Yang Xianrong has really seen all the winds and waves.
Even his own emperor husband is not the first time that he has been defeated and captured.
It's just that this time, Liu Tai didn't hit Chang'an, and took himself over to continue to be the queen.
So what is there to be nervous about Yang Xianrong, choose a day to set up Liu Xi as the emperor, and then hang the curtain to listen to the government.
This set of procedures has long been proficient in Yang Xianrong, who was born in the Han family, not to mention that Yang Xianrong was also born in a sheep family.
The men of this family basically have limited achievements (2,000 stones), and even if they have limited achievements, they are soft.
But as long as it is a woman who has a relationship with the Yang family, there are three who have left a name in history by relying on their own talents.
Therefore, when the news of the defeat of the 150,000 army and the capture of Liu Yao came, the entire Great Zhao Dynasty immediately became a pot of porridge.
After all, this kind of founding emperor had just been founded, and then he was captured, and the Huns and Han people really had never experienced it.
But Yang Xianrong said that the captive husband should be regarded as dead, and support his son to stabilize people's hearts first, as long as he has seen how the Eastern Han Dynasty operates, he basically knows that at this time it is time to listen to the government.
Don't say it, like what Empress Dowager Deng, what Empress Dowager Dou, and even at the end of the Han Dynasty, it wasn't He Jin's brain, obviously he was a relative, but he was mixed with the scholars, so maybe there was a chance for the Empress Dowager He to listen to the government!
And Yang Xianrong himself is not a vase, he usually assists Liu Yao in handling government affairs, so he clearly knows the personnel in the court.
She immediately found Liu Yao's first confidant Zhu Ji, and then released the wandering son who was imprisoned for angering Liu Yao from the prison and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and the remaining military power was divided into the hands of his cronies to form a check.
Of course, the most important thing is that the other Liu clans except Liu Xi cannot be allowed to hold the military power, otherwise Liu Xi will not be able to sit firmly at all.
The most important thing is that the sheep sacrificed to take things out, and finally made the court begin to stabilize.
Even if this stability is because Liu Tai is on his side, the sense of crisis forces the current strength of Da Zhao to unite.
Anyway, at least the court has stabilized, even if everyone's minds are already confused, and they are afraid that Liu Tai will take advantage of the situation to move south, then for them, whoever sits in Liu Xi's position at this time will be the thunder.
At this time, Cui Yue, as Liu Tai's envoy, sent an envoy to Zhao Guo with Liu Yao's letter.
The entire Zhao Kingdom naturally attaches great importance to them, and this meeting is basically equivalent to whether Liu Tai will beat them!
"I've seen Princess Qin!" At this time, Cui Yue saw Yang Xianrong's slight salute, but called her Princess Qin.
"Bold!" When Dazai Guo Yan heard Cui Yue's words, he stood up and said, "This is the queen!" ”
Liu Yao was the king of Qin who was divided by Liu Cong at the beginning, and when Cui Yue said this, he naturally only recognized Liu Yao as the king of Qin, and did not recognize the so-called Zhao State, of course, it is natural not to admit it, otherwise Liu Tai has nothing to communicate with the rebellious ministers and thieves.
Cui Yue heard Guo Xi's words, and said with a calm smile, "I, the king of Qi, protect the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and conquer the traitorous ministers, and now calling him the princess of Qin is to respect her identity, otherwise would you still call the wife of the traitor the queen?" ”
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fear that killing Cui Yue would allow Liu Tai to attack Chang'an, the people in the court would be afraid that they would even tear Cui Yue's mind, but at this time, no one dared to express his position easily, and he was not frightened by Liu Tai.
Since Liu Tai announced the defense of the Han Dynasty, the first Han defeated Shile and defeated Liu Yao in the first battle, and the record was too dazzling.
Although everyone in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom knows that Liu Tai is not easy to deal with, the three major generals of the Xiongnu Han State vaguely mean that Liu Tai is the leader.
After all, Liu Tai has never lost compared to the other two major generals, such a person is not in the first place, so who is in the first place.
But what they didn't expect was that everyone knew that Liu Tai was cruel, but they didn't know that Liu Tai was so cruel!
Shi Le and Liu Yao teamed up, looking at their rankings, how could they at least be able to fight for a few rounds, right?
I didn't expect that the civil strife in the entire Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms would be pacified by Liu Tai so simply.
It was Shi Le A who went up, Shi Le was destroyed, Liu Yao A went up, and Liu Yao was captured.
They thought about it and didn't understand why they would line up Liu Tai, Shi Le and Liu Yao together.
It is clear that the common ranking of the three generals of the Xiongnu and Han States misled him, and he knew that it was the safest to take refuge in Liu Tai!
But no matter what, Liu Tai's strength has won Cui Yue's confidence to speak, and what you can't get on the battlefield, then you can't get it in the so-called etiquette.
At this time, Cui Yue looked at everyone, although he was alone, he was fearless.
Because behind him is the most powerful commander of the army in this era.
Even if he is a fox and a tiger, for Da Zhao, who still wants to live, it is impossible to do any harm to himself.
"And don't bother with the name yet!" Yang Xianrong looked at Cui Yue and said,
"Since your envoy will come, then I believe that it will not be simply to humiliate our country, become a king and defeat a king, since the king of Qi can win this war but not annex our country, then I believe that for the king of Qi, the survival of our country must be more important than its destruction.
So if you have any requirements, please tell me! It's just that the concubine still has questions here, that is, how is Your Majesty now? ”
"King Qin is a guest in Yecheng, so naturally he will not neglect him!" Cui Yue looked at the sheep Xianrong, and his eyes were also full of appreciation.
To be honest, Cui Yue didn't expect that Yang Xianrong would accept the defeat of this war so quickly.
It's really not a loss to be able to recover the position six times, if you live in a peaceful era, with the help of the power of the Yang family, I'm afraid it can't be underestimated.
Cui Yue quickly regained his composure, took out a letter from his hand, and said, "This is a handwritten letter from Liu Yao, the king of Qin, please take a look at it!" ”
The waiter immediately took Liu Yao's handwritten letter in Cui Yue's hand, carefully checked it, and made sure that there were no traps, and then handed the letter to Yang Xianrong.
Yang Xianrong read the letter, raised his head to look at Cui Yue, and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed Your Majesty's handwriting." ”
When everyone present heard this, their faces couldn't help but become serious.
To be honest, don't look at Liu Yao's people who took the Xiongnu as the basic plate when he was alive, but his Han culture was also very good, at least only on calligraphy, there is no problem with throwing Liu Tai off the Yellow River.
Yang Xianrong read the letter, and then sent someone to circulate the letter to the ministers below.
After reading it, all the people originally thought that the letter written by Liu Yao was to persuade Yang Xianrong to surrender and rejoin the arms of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.
But I didn't expect that all the content in Liu Yao was to persuade Yang Xianrong to listen to politics, and recommend some available people, without any intention of bowing to Liu Tai.
It can be said that this is not a letter of surrender, but a letter to Yang Xianrong and Liu Xi with sufficient etiquette support, which everyone did not expect.
First, I didn't expect that this letter was written by Liu Yao.
Second, I didn't expect that the letter written by Liu Yao would be sent by Liu Tai's messenger like this.
Yang Xianrong's expression couldn't help but straighten, and after waiting for everyone to read the letter, he said with a serious face,
"King Qi has given such a gift, I don't know what King Qi needs in return!"
"There is only one rule, you are not allowed to be the emperor!" Cui Yue looked at the sheep and said,
"When you came, the King of Qi once said, whether you want to call yourself the State of Qin or the State of Zhao, for the sake of the surname Liu, the King of Qi is not to blame in the past.
But if he dared to be the emperor, the king of Qi would have to protect the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and had to send troops to conquer.
Therefore, I hope that Princess Qin will do it herself, don't be unpredictable! ”
Everyone present heard the coldness in Cui Yue's mouth, and none of the people present dared to stand up and scold anything now.
Some people even couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, just removing the throne is to be able to save themselves, for these wealthy families, and even the Hun nobles, it is too acceptable!
At this time, Zhu Ji couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, he didn't understand anything compared to those nobles, but Zhu Gui understood that with Liu Tai's rise, some of the old Han family calendars inherited from Liu Bang's period began to be restored, for example, "White Horse Oath"!
However, what Zhu Ji didn't understand was that Zhao Guo obviously only had one breath at this time, and Liu Tai actually chose not to attack, but instead gave Yang Xianrong a way to live, which Zhu Ji didn't expect.
And Yang Xian's face was radiant, because she understood that she could sit firmly in the position of this Empress Dowager Zhao, and said decisively to Cui Yue:
"There is only one emperor in my Great Zhao, and now that Your Majesty has not returned from the Northern Hunt, and His Majesty has not passed on the throne, how can he do anything arrogant without permission!"
All the ministers present opened their mouths, but none of them stood up against it.
After all, it's very good that his small regime can survive now, and now no one wants to face Liu Tai's soldiers!
Cui Yue glanced at Yang Xianrong and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a blessing to have the princess in charge." ”
