Chapter 246: Establishing Himself as a King
Although he had come to Hezhou, which belonged to the west, and came to his own territory, Chen Xikang still did not go straight to Muping immediately, but took Wu Yemei to rest in Hezhou.
And when Chen Xikang had returned to the west and began to plan his future actions in his heart, in Tanglin, Xia Chunqiu, who had been waging wars in Bianjing and Yinshan one after another, once again did something that shocked everyone in the world.
After occupying Yinshan, Xia Chunqiu did not bring troops to Bianjing to fight again, and as for the fact that the city he had previously conquered was almost recaptured by Wu Xiu, the king of Jiang, he didn't care at all.
After getting what he wanted, Xia Chunqiu temporarily returned to Tanglin to recuperate, and it was also for better layout design, thinking that he could win Yanjing.
However, before that, Xia Chunqiu held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Dongling, and after establishing himself as the king, he proclaimed Donglin as the summer capital!
At this time, in Tanglin, hundreds of people were shocked by Xia Chunqiu's move, but Xia Chunqiu, who was dressed in a nine-python golden robe, turned a blind eye, and just swore an oath in front of hundreds of thousands of troops in the military camp!
The county originally named Tanglin was officially renamed Xia Capital at this time, and behind Xia Chunqiu, there were a number of generals who fought for it, including Huang Huai and Ran Kai, who had won the title of Shuangjie in the Battle of Yinshan, and Li Mu, who was taken by Xia Chunqiu to fight in Bianjing.
Li Zhaoyi, who defected from Sanchuan County, is also among them, but in front of these people, there is one person whose existence is incomparable!
In addition to Huang Huai and others, Cao Yi, the general of the Black Water Army, stood tall in front of everyone, under a black armor, revealing a strong killing atmosphere!
Even if Li Mu is the son of Li Jing, a Great Qin general, even if Huang Huai and Ran Kai have just won such a tragic battle in Yin Mountain, several people know in their hearts that Cao Yi in front of him is a big support for Xia Chun to dare to establish himself as king!
And when the generals had their own thoughts, Xia Chunqiu was loudly declaring that while claiming to be Xia Chunqiu, Tanglin no longer belonged to the Han Emperor, and the name was changed to Xia Capital, and in order to make the hundreds of thousands of troops below feel their determination, Xia Chunqiu was extremely confident and assured everyone that he would definitely win the dragon chair in the world and make countless people who fought with him prosperous and rich!
Mastering the hearts of the people is also the study of the emperor, Xia Chunqiu has long had the ambition to be the king and the emperor, and naturally knows how to buy people's hearts, although his character is a little brutal, but he is especially good at rewarding soldiers and buying military hearts.
At this time, listening to the oath of Xia Chunqiu on the high platform, under the rendering of the atmosphere, the hundreds of thousands of troops below were imposing, and the sound shook the world, and after thinking that the previous battles almost all ended in victory, the hundreds of thousands of Huai troops were even more excited.
Looking at the countless Huaijun who were boiling with blood below, Xia Chunqiu on the high platform also had a satisfied look on his face, and seeing this, he also knew that it was almost time to give some rewards to the previous Yinshan Shuangjie.
"Before the battle of Yinshan, I think you also know it clearly in your hearts, General Huang and General Ran went to Yinshan with an army of 10,000 people, and in the end, although there were only less than 100 remnants left, they still defended Yinshan under the siege of countless armies of Taiwu, you think, how should I deal with the two generals!"
"Reward!"
"Reward!"
"Reward!"
As soon as Xia Chunqiu's voice fell, hundreds of thousands of Huaijun below opened their mouths in unison, and when the sound came in bursts, everyone on the stage also saw the admiration and awe on the faces of countless people below.
Although he is only a new general, the results of the previous battle do not need to be said by Huang Huai and Ran Kai, countless people have seen it in their own eyes, especially those leading generals who supported Yinshan, after witnessing such a Shura land, they have only admiration for the young Huang Huai and Ran Kai in their hearts!
The strong are respected, but the strong in the army are not like the strong in the rivers and lakes, for the commander, the one who wins the battle is the strong in the eyes of the soldiers!
When a smile appeared on his face, Xia Chunqiu also looked back at the two people beside him, but didn't say much.
Huang Huai and Ran Kai are both smart people, and they know that the purpose of King Xia saying this in front of countless armies at this time is nothing more than to make hundreds of thousands of Huai troops have the impression that they are omnipotent and invincible, and they want to make their invincible and powerful posture imprinted in the hearts of all Huai troops, so they didn't really step forward to ask Xia Chunqiu for credit.
"In the battle of Yinshan, even if I am allowed to go, I don't dare to say that I can win, but General Huang and General Ran have done it, they deserve to be rewarded, and it is a heavy reward!"
"But although I said that I set myself up as a king and called it Xia, but the land I hold has nothing but the summer capital, so what can I do to reward the two generals who have made great achievements?"
I don't think the two generals want these things, and even if I really give them, the reward is too small, and the reward I want to give to the two generals is like the Han Emperor Song Heng, the fief is the county, and the king of the county lives!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The countless Huai Jun below were not fools, they naturally knew the meaning of Xia Chunqiu's words, and after their words fell, the sound waves that had just calmed down for a short time came again.
In this situation, Xia Chunqiu, who has the heart of the emperor, laughed again, such a scene, he has been looking forward to it for a long, long time!
The world is so big, how can the Song royal family be dominant, even if they can't beat the whole world, that day in the summer and spring and autumn will be divided into one side, be the master of that side, enjoy the enjoyment of the Han Emperor, and use the authority of the Han Emperor to sit up with the Han Emperor!
The young Han Emperor Song Heng had just succeeded to the throne for a year, and a large county king in Tanglin rebelled openly after that, and now he is the king of himself, and renamed the Donglin capital as the summer capital.
Unlike the courtiers who were worried in their hearts and made suggestions for the future situation, after hearing that Xia Chunqiu held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Tanglin and wanted to confirm his name as the king of Xia as the son of heaven, Mo Bai, a great writer who loved to give poems, unexpectedly waved his pen and ink again, and scolded Xia Chunqiu to the bottom.
What's even more exaggerated is that this great writer even scolded Xia Huaiying, the old king of Huai, this time.
For the poetry of the writer Modou, although countless indignant people in the Daming Palace listened to it refreshingly, it was only a momentary refreshment, because if you really want to move Donglin, it still depends on how the Han Emperor makes decisions.
However, when the people of the world were indignant because of Xia Chunqiu's rebellion, in the Daming Palace at this time, whether it was the Han Emperor or the ministers who were strategic, they were not as angry as people thought, but seemed a little calm and unfazed.
It's Sanchuan County again, it's Bianjing again, and it's still fighting in the Yin Mountains for so long, how can Song Heng and Prime Minister and others have a fluke mentality about Xia Chunqiu, and they all know that Xia Chunqiu will not give up if they don't fight with Chang'an, and everyone has already made the worst plan in their hearts, so they don't seem surprised at this time.
Song Heng, Prime Minister and Taiwei all knew that the reason why Xia Chunqiu had such a ceremony was to encourage the morale of the army.
Xia Chunqiu is a rebel after all, and under the ethical guidelines, he is standing in a place that is spurned, so countless Huaijun still have some resistance in their hearts, and the act of establishing himself as the king and sealing Dongling as the summer capital is to let countless Huai eliminate the guilt in their hearts and feel that they are not rebels.
Although Xia Chunqiu's move to establish himself as the king caused an uproar in the world, Song Heng didn't care too much about it, because at this moment, Song Heng had to face more than just Xia Chunqiu, who was gaining momentum at this time.
According to the intelligence, Chen Xikang has returned to Hezhou in the west, and Song Heng also knows it clearly.
Although he didn't say it, he didn't know in his heart whether it was because of the founding prince or because of the 500,000 fallen sword banners in the west, Song Heng always regarded the west as the number one enemy!
Although the west is the same as Dongling, it is one of the twenty-eight counties, but in Song Heng's eyes, the west is like a dynasty like Taiwu!
In fact, the reason why Song Heng has such a feeling is because the West has always been a whole, and the heart is working together to make it work, so it makes him feel that the West is difficult to deal with, but what he also doesn't know is that the reason why the West has such a strong cohesion is entirely because of the suspicion and spurning of the Daming Palace for so many years.
Xia Chunqiu has set off so many wars one after another, but the west has been peaceful, but this does not mean that the west will really remain unmoved, and now that Chen Xikang has traveled the world and returned to the west from the new, the west has a new master.
In the Daming Palace, he had just ascended to the dynasty and discussed the affairs of Xia Chunqiu with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and as soon as he retreated from the dynasty, Song Heng went to find the qin master Han Shangru, and while talking with him, he also expressed his worries in his heart and wanted to ask his opinion.
It was not a secret that Chen Wanqing appeared in Changyan's mansion before, and Changyan Hongguang, who was a smart person, also took the initiative to inform Song Heng of this matter, but he only said that Xichen had the heart to buy him, and he didn't tell everything.
Before making a final decision, Changyan Hongguang always left a way back for himself.
As Changyan Hongguang worried before, the pattern of the strong Han has formed a foregone conclusion, while the four places perform their duties, these local officials also regard their own jurisdiction as their own territory, and now Jiangnan has signs of becoming a land of right and wrong, and it is impossible for the Changyan family, who are civil officials in the court, to continue to sit in Jiangnan.
In the face of the army in the west, the Changyan family did not have the ability to hold Jiangnan.
But if the Changyan family is allowed to leave Jiangnan, but they can't find a good place to go, and the west has already shown favor to the Changyan family, if what he does can't satisfy the Changyan family, he may really choose to take refuge in the west.
It was precisely because he knew this very well in his heart that Song Heng found the piano master Han Shangru.
Although it would be better to consult with the prime minister, but after thinking that doing so would make the other courtiers feel that they had no opinion and the wisdom in their hearts was not enough, Song Heng did not immediately go to the prime minister.
For the Han Emperor to like to talk to himself about things like to talk about everything, the piano master Han Shangru has been completely accustomed to it, and this time after knowing why the Han Emperor came, he also had no reservations and said all the strategies he could offer.
"The Changyan family is loyal to the royal family, if it can't be arranged properly, the Changyan family is not satisfied, and it is even possible to take refuge in the west, which will chill the hearts of countless old ministers. ”
"Although Sinong Shaoqing is an old minister, he has achieved fame and fortune all his life, but at this moment, his family and country are in danger, if he still ignores His Majesty's worries for his own selfishness, then he is no longer a person worthy of His Majesty's worries. ”
After listening to the pianist's strategy, Song Heng also spoke lightly, but his words fell, and what he said was refuted by the pianist.
Sinong Shaoqing is such a big official position, except for the accident in the south of the Yangtze River, there are people on other places, and if there is no good place to go, he can only be wronged, but in that case, his Sinong Shaoqing will only have an empty name at that time.
Therefore, Song Heng was worried that the Changyan family would be dissatisfied because of this, but the piano master felt that at this moment, Sinong Shaoqing's family should give up small profits for the benefit of the family and the country.
"How Sinong Shaoqing arranges will affect the courtiers in the court, Chen Xikang still has some time to come back to Muping, and I will go to the prime minister to discuss one or two." ”
Although the pianist Han Shangru always had his own opinion, thinking that it would be good to take Sinong Shaoqing's family to the Daming Palace, and there was no need to look around for a suitable place to seal it, but after always feeling that something was wrong, Song Heng did not agree for the time being, but decided to go to the prime minister to discuss.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to let Qi Fei return to the West?"
After seeing that Emperor Han still had concerns, Qin Shi did not continue to dwell on it, but asked another question.
The prince of the west returned to the west, and after knowing the news, Chai Fei also made a request to return to his hometown, but Chai Fei said so, but Song Heng and the pianist knew what he was thinking.
Qi Fei chose to return to the west at this time, just because he wanted to give advice to Chen Xikang.
"It's just a little bit of a ghost, what if he goes back to the west, if I leave him behind, it will seem that I am narrow-minded. And even if this Qi Fei has some talent, can he compare to the Fulong Great Strategist in the Sunsink Pavilion?"
If just Chai Fei has to deal with it like this, will he be overstretched against Shangxichen?
Doesn't this mean that he and Chen Xikang are both half a catty!
After being angry because of the piano master's words, Song Heng left in a hurry.
Seeing that the Han Emperor was angry, Qin Shi didn't dare to say much, as a courtier, he couldn't disobey the king's will after all, otherwise it would be a disaster.
However, thinking of Chai Fei, who was only dedicated to studying after coming to Daming Palace, Han Shangru always felt that he would definitely become the enemy of Chang'an!
