Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 343 Taiyuan, the beam

In the Chuigong Palace, Wang Pu hesitated for a moment, and then he said a compromise, "It's not a big deal. In my opinion, it's better to send someone with memorials to ask the queen to stamp the seal. Go and inform the Imperial Academy to accept the decree and start writing the edict ahead of time. When the one over there is ready, the edict will be almost ready.

In this way, the important matter would not be delayed, and the queen was also asked for instructions. "

Wang Pu said a seemingly two-way compromise, neither to offend Li Gu nor to conflict with Luqiu Zhongqing, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that his words were biased towards Li Gu.

It sounds like a compromise, but the queen is still left idle.

In fact, his thoughts are similar to Li Gu's, what can a young queen understand?Wouldn't it be a mess to let her decide the world's major affairs?

After they dealt with it and asked the queen to add a seal, they also respected the queen. I don't know why Luqiu Zhongqing reacted so strongly. Isn't there a precedent before.

Besides, who here is not a person who has worked hard and made great achievements. For the establishment of Qin State, what contribution does the Queen have?In the absence of officials, the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang should be in charge of making decisions.

I also thought in my heart, now it is Li Gu, and in the future when Li Gu returns to the field, it should be him.
Lu Qiu Zhongqing on the opposite side didn't speak any more, just cupped his hands, and then backed out.

Seeing this, Wang Pu was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down with a calm expression.

"It's not time to go straight yet." Someone muttered in a low voice.

No matter how small the matter in the political affairs hall is, it is a major event in the world. On weekdays, all the officials of the court are the ones who inquire about it.

In the afternoon of that day, many people knew about the conflict between Luqiu Zhongqing and Li Gu in the political affairs hall, but most of the discussions passed away after a few words.

……

After the court meeting, there were often whispers outside the Donghua Gate, but very few dared to speak up.

The reasoning is not complicated, and it is easy to understand. Anyone with a little experience in the ups and downs of the officialdom will understand, because this matter involves the queen.

But among the whispers, many people supported Li Gu's.
"I think what Li Xianggong said is reasonable. Governing the world and managing the people is a matter for the prince and the officials. The harem should not interfere. People who have read poetry and books should remember the lessons of Wu Zhou." Outside the Donghua Gate, three or five Crowds of officials who came out of the court passed by one after another, talking in low voices.

Although their voices were deliberately lowered, they could still hear some of their words a dozen steps away.

"Before the official left, you can explain in the court that the junior high school is the queen's regent"

"Brother Zheng's words are wrong. The official's going north to fight Taiyuan is not a matter of a day or two. I don't know when it will be successful. Is it possible that all the courts are under the control of a little girl?"

"You can't talk nonsense!" The other person immediately lowered his voice: "Everyone knows the temperament of officials, and they always dote on the queen. If your words reach the ears of officials, have you thought about the consequences."

"Hmph, my generation has read the books of sages and sages, knows loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and receives the grace of the saints, so naturally we must think about the officials.

Indulging in beauty is not the work of Ming Jun, women are nothing.

Even if the officials are in front of them, they are determined not to change their words. They are indifferent to life and death, and they must give honest advice to the officials no matter what! "As he said, he bowed to the sky, his spine was straight, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring.

The accompanying colleagues were in awe, and they all bowed their hands in praise, "The master is righteous!"

Some people shook their heads, "The world belongs to the officials, and the queen is the wife of the officials, so don't even think about it."

"You can't say that, the world is ruled by the officials, but Mr. Li, your colleagues and me are all people who are devoted to our country of Qin, otherwise they would not risk offending the queen to speak out.

It is for the sake of the country and the country, and for the officials."

Everyone talked about it, it was a trivial matter, but now it is known to everyone like a major event, and it has become something that everyone talks about and enjoys it.

It's just that the two prime ministers had some disagreements. It's not surprising that such things happened, but there seemed to be an invisible force behind it, which made such a matter the most talked about and discussed topic among the officials of the DPRK and China.

At the head of Donghua Gate, the east and west shifts, the inspector of the imperial city Fu Zhaoyuan, the inspector of the capital Wang Zhong, and Luqiu Zhongqing were all listening to the discussions of the officials below, but they were standing behind the parapet, and the people below could hardly see them.

Fu Zhaoyuan was so angry that he scratched his head, because what they were talking about was his own sister, the current empress Fu Jinling.

He wanted to curse, but he held back, and he was still a little scared. He was a warrior and didn't understand too many principles. The official asked him to lead the imperial army to protect and support the queen in the capital.

Hearing those words now, he was both angry and afraid. The anger was of course, the queen was his sister, and it was scary because he was afraid that what the officials said would not be true.
"Mr. Luqiu, are they making sense? Will my sister really harm the official family?" He asked a little scared.

Wang Zhong next to him looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

After hearing this, Luqiu Zhongqing glanced at Fu Zhaoyuan, who looked anxious, and said, "You don't understand the truth too deeply, so I can only tell you no."

With these words, Fu Zhao wished to feel more at ease.

"The confrontation between Mr. Li and I was nothing more than a trivial matter. A group of people dealt with the matter together, with different opinions and disagreements. Some quarrels and arguments are common. They have happened before, but they just insisted on this time.

It's not that things are big, but that things are beneficial to them. "

"Favourable?" Fu Zhaoyuan frowned, he couldn't figure out such a thing.

Luqiu Zhongqing said with a smile: "Just remember one thing for Fu Xunguan. At the beginning, I had no tiles on the roof and no place to stand on the ground. When I was helpless, it was the officials who undressed me, pushed me to eat, put my heart in my heart, and entrusted me with important responsibilities. Only now I am today. good fortune.

So no matter what, the old man is on the side of the official, so he will also be on the side of the queen. "

Fu Zhaoyuan showed a happy expression: "Thank you, Mr. Mr.! I can't figure out these big principles at all. If it weren't for Mr. Mr. Xiang, I wouldn't know what to do."

Luqiu Zhongqing said: "It is urgent to tell the officials about this matter, but it must be kept secret. The old man has personally edited the book, and the officials will understand it."

March came to the end without knowing it, Shi Congyun spent several days in Taiyuan, the army rested, Taiyuan took over the defense, and he was extremely busy with the handover of the treasury.

The inside and outside of Taiyuan has been completely controlled by the Qin army, marking the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty.

The city of Taiyuan fell, and on the second day after Liu Jun was captured, Shi Congyun was not in a hurry to send news to Daliang. Instead, he immediately sent all the messengers and scouts to the north to inform those states and counties that were still resisting. The news of surrender, let them surrender immediately, and the death penalty can be pardoned.

Otherwise, when the army arrives, all the prefects and counties who have not surrendered will be punished.

Afterwards, good news came one after another. First, Ximian Jingsi personally led the army to attack the city, captured Xianzhou, and killed the governor of Xianzhou.

Xinzhou in the north, and its nearby counties also surrendered one after another, while Shi Congyun stayed in Taiyuan and stayed in Liu Jun's palace. He said... it was better for others. Now he found out that the house was also, the one in Daliang. Although the palace belongs to him, he doesn't feel as fulfilled as living in this palace in Taiyuan!
This is what I laid down!
A few days later, lying on the big bed in the Taiyuan Palace, Shi Congyun could still recall the majesty and majesty when he entered the city that day. When he stood there, the tiger's body shook, and the domineering aura was exposed, which could scare hundreds of people to kneel down. He didn't dare to resist on the ground, and he was almost an enemy of ten thousand people rounded up!
Facing Liu Jun, the submissive leader of the Northern Han Dynasty after his surrender, Shi Congyun did not kill him because he was old and in poor health, which is a good thing.

It's a pity that things have two sides, because Liu Jun is old and in poor health, and there are no young and beautiful concubines in the harem, and he has no heirs at all, so there are no young and beautiful princesses, which is really a pity.

For Guo Wanchao, the commander of the northern Han horse infantry who took the lead in surrendering, Shi Congyun appointed him a high-ranking official, but did not send him with real power.

When it came to Zhao Huari, the fierce Zuo servant, he was so angry that he was half dead, but it was not him who was angry, but Liu Jun who was angry.

That old man was still willing to die that day, wanting to swear death to repay the king's kindness, but when he turned around, he found that his emperor knelt down and surrendered first. He couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Your majesty surrendered first when I was about to fight to the death."

After that, he fainted from anger, and when he woke up, he was seriously ill.

Shi Congyun thought, it would be embarrassing for him not to faint, and it would not be easy for such an old man to die in front of so many people.

Out of sympathy, he was ordered not to worry about him. Zhao Huari was sent home to recover from his illness. Although he resisted to the end, his family did not need to be copied, and his children were exonerated.

As for the rest of the resistance, it is a death penalty.

In the next few days, 27 generals and officials who refused to surrender and who were against the Qin army were beheaded for public display, and their heads were hung on the head of Taiyuan city. One of them surrendered and was still killed. Make Li Guan.

Before killing him, Shi Congyun personally called him to the emperor's palace and told him the reason for killing him.

At first Li Guan was overjoyed that the emperor personally summoned him, but when he heard that he was going to be killed, he immediately complained anxiously, because the other generals who surrendered were not killed.

Shi Congyun looked at him, afraid that he could not hear clearly before he died, and said slowly, "Listen well, and remember well, I have promised to kill you. He is from Guangfu, Mingzhou. Years ago you took advantage of your power to kill his parents, occupied his house and fields, and occupied his younger sister, today you will pay in blood."

Li Guan was shocked, his eyes were in a trance, and he seemed to be thinking hard.

Shi Congyun waved his hand: "Pull him out and kill him."

The soldiers immediately attacked, Li Guan wanted to struggle, but was restrained and taken away several times.

That night, Shi Congyun hosted a banquet for Wenwu in the Taiyuan Mansion of the Great Qin State, including the accompanying Wenwu of the Qin State and the Wenwu of the Northern Han Dynasty who surrendered. He sat on the throne of Liu Jun as a matter of course, hugging the beloved Liu Jun in his arms, A little yellow flower just from the south.

Holding a glass of wine, he said to Liu Jun who was sitting down, "Yes, although you are guilty, you have done a good job. You have repaired my palace in the Taiyuan Mansion of the Great Qin Kingdom well!"

All the generals burst out laughing, and then the dinner began, Shi Congyun said a few words, probably that in the future, everyone will be officials of the same dynasty, and they should help each other and live in harmony. Category.

After that, they let go of eating and drinking. After fighting and marching for so long, the generals and civil servants couldn't hold back anymore and went straight to work.

The literati still have to be polite and decorate the noodles, but soon they all gobble it up.

In such an atmosphere, the banquet was naturally very violent.

Shi Congyun was also very happy to relax. Taiyuan was won, and the situation was a foregone conclusion. He didn't withdraw his troops now, but just wanted to see again, in case the Khitans in the north would do something wrong.

Just when he was in high spirits and enjoying Xiao Huanghua's considerate care, eunuch Wei Min came in quietly and told him that the person from Daliang was sent by Luqiu Zhongqing.

Shi Congyun was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat. The secret letter sent by Luqiu Zhongqing must be something important. What can Daliang do at this juncture?
