Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 423

In Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, in Daning Palace, Empress Li, oh no!It should be called Queen Mother Li now.

Shi Jingtang's bones were not cold yet, so the empress dowager tactfully moved to the Longevity Hall, which symbolizes the empress dowager. The only requirement was to bring Shi Chongrui, who was more than one year old, with him.

Feng Dao is still the same Feng Dao, slick, cowardly, and without persistence.

In the middle of the night, after Shi Jingtang passed away, Shi Chonggui received the news from the palace, and immediately led his soldiers to rush to Feng Dao's mansion.

Feng Dao made a smooth decision in less than a minute.

What kind of favor, what kind of support, is not as important as the life of oneself and one's family.

Feng Dao immediately expressed his willingness to be loyal to Shi Chonggui, and then followed Shi Chonggui to Daning Palace.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Yanguang, the commander of the bodyguards who controlled the military power of the Daning Palace, also opened the gate of the palace to join Shi Chonggui.

Jing Yanguang has long been dissatisfied with seeing the Khitans wantonly insulting the soldiers and generals of the Imperial Guards of the Jin Kingdom, and it happens that Shi Chonggui does not want to see the Khitans, so the two hit it off.

Immediately, with Jing Yanguang's support, Feng Dao and others falsified the time of Shi Jingtang's death, delaying Shi Jingtang's death by two hours.

The role of these two hours is reserved for Shi Chonggui.

Under Feng Dao's arrangement, Jing Yanguang's act of opening the palace gate late at night to let Shi Chonggui in was changed to Shi Jingtang calling Shi Chonggui into the palace urgently knowing that his fate was not long.

Then, right before the sick bed, in front of Jing Yanguang and Feng Dao, Jin Feng Shi Chonggui was the king of Qi and concurrently served as a servant.

This servant is not the official position of the servant as mentioned in Zhuge Liang's list of teachers, even if it is the servant, Fei Yi and others at that time, they dared to take care of Liu Chan's concubine.

Shi Chonggui's servant, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty increased his power, has been the most important official position in the center. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was even more powerful, and he was called the prime minister among the prime ministers.

This kind of appointment meant that Shi Jingtang was going to pass on the throne to Shi Chonggui.

And this is also in line with the guesses of ordinary people. When is this time, how can one choose Shi Chongrui, who is 27 years old, instead of Shi Chonggui, who is [-] years old.

Sure enough, on the second day, all the ministers were not dissatisfied with Shi Chonggui's succession to the throne. Shi Chonggui was able to put on sackcloth and filial piety in the Daning Palace, and staged the scene of three speeches and three concessions.

He also expressed affectionately that he was in great pain and did not change his Yuan Dynasty, and still used Shi Jingtang's Tianfu reign name.

At this time, Shi Chonggui, to be honest, was still a little sober. He also knew that the empire that Shi Jingtang 'leaved' to him was not a high-quality asset.

The Khitans in the north were staring at him, waiting for his next move.

Zhang Zhao's Liang Kingdom in the northwest is like a tiger or leopard hidden in the shadows, it doesn't know when it will jump out and bite people.

Meng Chang of Mengshu in the southwest is trying his best to govern, and he is always watching the Guanzhong area of ​​​​the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south, although Li Min lost his enterprising spirit, the Southern Tang Dynasty has always been the best-developed among the many princes including the previous Wu Kingdom.

The Central Plains was in chaos, but the Southern Tang Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous. If Li Min suddenly rose up, he would be able to display his strength.

So Shi Chonggui is still humbly asking for opinions from the officials, let everyone discuss and discuss, how should we deal with this matter in the future?

Feng Dao was the first to go out and play right. Since Shi Chonggui was the first to come to him, Feng Dao dramatically became the first important minister to support Shi Chonggui, and was immediately reused by the new emperor. Taiwei.

"At this time, we are in the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are still three parties that need to be dealt with immediately. In the Khitan in the north, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry. What kind of etiquette will His Majesty treat the Khitan King?

The country of Liang in the northwest, originally returned to the country, and then repeated it again. Zhang Zhao, the king of Liang, is quite talented, and has tens of thousands of elites to spy on Guanzhong. You must observe it! "

Shi Chonggui pointed out that the biggest external threat to his Great Jin Kingdom is Khitan and Liang Kingdom.

"Then there is another party? Did the Taiwei miss one thing?"

Feng Dao hesitated for a while before continuing to speak: "Yang Guangyuan of Xijing, although he was originally an honored minister of the late emperor, has always been repeated, and his behavior is even more cruel. Your Majesty should make plans early."

Originally, with Feng Dao's tact and prudence, he wouldn't say that.

But this Yang Guangyuan, at this time, has succeeded in getting tired of the people and ghosts he made.

The three of them, father and son, killed officials, common people and passing merchants at will in Luoyang, Xijing, just to collect money.

The following Jiedu Yabing in the three towns of Heyang also followed suit, making Luoyang a ghost town with few people.

At this moment, seeing that Feng Dao said that Yang Guangyuan was going to be dealt with, all the civil and military officials fell into trouble one after another.

Everyone bluntly said that Yang Guangyuan should be killed, but on the contrary, Jing Yanguang, who was always very passionate, had a different opinion.

Because he knew that although Yang Guangyuan was angry and should be killed, he also raised the teeth soldiers in the three towns of Heyang to be extremely tough, and he also got the support of these teeth soldiers under his command.

Because Luoyang and its surrounding areas in Xijing were actually shared by Yang Guangyuan and his son with the soldiers and generals of the three towns of Heyang.

If there were thousands of tooth soldiers loyal to the Yang family and his sons wearing armor to guard the Xijing area, it would not be easy for the imperial army to wipe them out.

At this moment, Shi Chonggui had just ascended the throne, once the war was delayed, it would be easy to change.

So Jing Yanguang hurriedly came out, saluted Shi Chonggui and said: "Your Majesty, from the point of view of my minister, Yang Guangyuan has not shown the opposite, so it is not appropriate to act too hastily.

Moreover, His Majesty had recently ascended the throne, and if he killed the honorable ministers of the former court, it might hurt His Majesty's reputation.

Duke Du, who stayed behind in Yedu, is His Majesty's uncle, and a veteran minister who was trusted by the late emperor. It would be better to transfer Duke Du to Xijing as a stayer, and then transfer Yang Guangyuan to Yedu as a stayer. I think he would be happy.

Feng Yu, a member of Zhongshushe next to Shi Chonggui, frowned, and said: "Yedu is where the country is prosperous, with a prosperous household registration, and it is the gateway to the north of Tokyo.

If people like Yang Guangyuan go to Yedu, the harm will be far worse in Luoyang, Xijing, and I will not take it for your Majesty. "

Jing Yanguang smiled coldly after hearing this, this Feng Yu is the younger brother of Shi Chongyin's wife, Feng Shi.

The Feng family is quite beautiful, and after Shi Chongyin was killed by Li Congke, she got involved with Shi Chonggui.

Now that Shi Chonggui had just ascended the throne, Feng Yu was shaking.

"As long as Shuai moves to the town every day, I have never heard of anyone who can bring thousands of soldiers to move the town together.

When Yang Guangyuan left Xijing Luoyang, he could bring three 500 people with him at most. When he traveled near Tokyo, His Majesty could change him to be the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu.

If Yang Guangyuan agrees, His Majesty is tolerant and let him live.If you don't agree, it's easy to wipe out.

"That's a great word!" Shi Chonggui imitated Shi Jingtang's previous appearance, patted the armrest of the throne and praised.

Jing Yanguang's method is indeed good, and immediately dispelled Shi Chonggui's two worries.

One is that Yang Guangyuan has ulterior motives.

The second is Du Chongwei as his uncle.Stationed in an important place in Yedu, no one has been sent to congratulate him on his ascension to the throne.

If Du Chongwei can be transferred from Yedu by taking advantage of the opportunity of solving Yang Guangyuan, it can also avoid changes.

After discussing the matter of Yang Guangyuan, it was Khitan and Liangguo Zhang Zhao's turn now, but everyone agreed not to mention Liangguo.

Because all the people here were old foxes, they could see that although Zhang Zhao spoke fiercely, what he opposed was Shi Jingtang's surrender to Khitan and the cession of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and he did not say that he would oppose the imperial court.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao's opinion coincided with that of many people in Daning Palace, such as Jing Yanguang and others.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason, because before Zhang Zhao took a clear-cut stand against Shi Jingtang’s treachery, the character design he created was very successful.

In the eyes of most people, this His Royal Highness Liang Wang who suddenly rose from Hexi is a person with a strong Tang color.

The loyalty, benevolence and benevolence that he pays attention to can be said to be out of place in this era.

If we go back 200 years, it would be just right to put it back when the dynasty was in full swing.

So in their hearts, these people actually regarded Zhang Zhao as Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhina and others in the past.

In the silence, it was Feng Yu who spoke first, "Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the envoys to Khitan to report the funeral should be leaving.

It is not a disgraceful thing that the former emperor's father served Khitan, because in the past, Abaoji, the emperor of Khitan who ascended to heaven, was about brothers with Emperor Wu, and the queen mother in the palace was the granddaughter of Emperor Wu.

Although the first emperor was older than Yelu Deguang, the ruler of Khitan, serving him as a father was precisely abiding by the principles of ethics.

Therefore, I suggest to Your Majesty that you should continue to serve Yelu Deguang as your grandfather, and that my Great Jin should submit to Khitan as usual before my wings are full. "

Jing Yanguang on the left was even more dissatisfied after hearing this remark. He immediately glared at Feng Yu, and Shi Chonggui's expression was also a little hesitant.

Because his adoptive father, Shi Jingtang, was ridiculed by the world because of his father's Khitan, and the lessons learned from the past are still in sight. In the past, Shi Chonggui was also a member of the opposition to his father's Khitan.

Now he must be very unhappy to let him continue to regard Yelu Deguang, a man in his thirties, as his grandfather.

Jing Yanguang saw Shi Chonggui's displeasure from below, and immediately stood up, standing tall, talking impassionedly to Shi Chonggui.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains, the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The Khitans are nothing more than rotten Xi outside the Great Wall. If it hadn't been for the decline of the great dynasty, which gave the Khitans a chance, they would not only threaten the Central Plains, but they would face the past Fan Yang, Lu Long and other Jiedu , also have to grovel.

The minister believes that although our Great Jin Dynasty did not dominate the world, it also occupied the affluent land in the Central Plains.

With this great national prestige, if you want your father to serve Khitan, you may be ridiculed by all the countries in the world and damage your majesty's dignity.

Chen Jianyi, if it is for the sake of nourishing energy and recharging energy, it is fine to be called a minister, but it is too much to call Yelu Deguang a grandfather! "

What Jing Yanguang said, Shi Zhonggui's heart was surging and he was very refreshed.

"What Jing Gong said is exactly what I want!"

It has to be said that, as Jing Yanguang who often hangs out with Shi Chonggui, the temperaments of the two are very compatible. Shi Chonggui only feels that Jing Yanguang's every word speaks of his heart.

Do you want to be a vassal to Khitan?Did he actually care too much about it? He just didn't want to call Yelu Deguang his grandfather. This was a matter of face.

Feng Dao let out a long sigh in his heart, he turned his head to look at He Ning who was behind him, who was also sighing deeply.

Because Jing Yanguang and Shi Chonggui actually went in the wrong direction.

Whether to submit to Khitan and whether to call Yelu Deguang his grandfather are actually two different things.And the former is far more important than the latter.

Because professing a subject to Khitan is a matter of the state, while calling Yelu Deguang his grandfather is a private matter between Shi Chonggui and Yelu Deguang.

As Feng Yu said earlier, Yelu Deguang is indeed of Shi Chonggui's grandfather's generation in terms of ethical seniority.

Shi Chonggui called Yelu Deguang his grandfather, but it wasn't really humiliating.

But the most critical thing is to become a minister, because the Jin Kingdom's surrender to Khitan, on the basis of legal principles, has almost destroyed the legitimacy of the Lord of the Central Plains in the later Jin Dynasty.

For example, although Shi Chonggui is proclaimed emperor now, if you look deeper, he is proclaiming himself emperor, because Shi Jingtang's status as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was conferred by Khitan.

He, Shi Chonggui, hadn't received Yelu Deguang's canonization, so he couldn't be said to be the emperor of Jin!
He Ning also saw Feng Dao looking at him, and he knew that he had to clarify this matter.

Because of Feng Dao's slickness in doing things, since seeing him and Ning couldn't bear it, Feng Dao would never come out and talk about it.

So He Ning, who was a privy envoy, could only stand out and look at Shi Chonggui and said.

"What the minister and Commander Jing saw was slightly different.

If your majesty wants to wash away the shame of the late emperor, the most important thing is whether to be a minister or not, and whether to serve Yelu Deguang as your grandfather is really a private matter of your majesty, but being a minister is a state matter.

As Zhang Zhao of Hexi said, it is a mistake for his father to serve the Khitan, and it is a shame for all ages to be a vassal to the Khitan!
I implore Your Majesty, with the world in mind, restraint and patience.You can send envoys to Khitan to call you a grandson but not a minister. "

Immediately after He Ning came out, a large group of civil servants and military generals came out to echo what He Ning said, because it was correct.

Shi Chonggui thought about it secretly, and found that what He Ning said was indeed reasonable.

It is imperative now.It is to take the principles of the law from the hands of the Khitan people and take them into their own hands.

He, Shi Chonggui, did not want to be said to be an emperor conferred by the Khitan, he was an upright emperor of the Central Plains.

As for calling Yelu Deguang a grandfather, it can be resolved later.

So Shi Chonggui nodded, "Then don't bother the two masters, and the privy envoy, I will immediately order you to form a mission to go to Khitan.

We should choose more eloquent people to go, and inform my grandfather Yelu Deguang of the death of the late emperor! "

Speaking of the word grandfather, Shi Chonggui sneered, and everyone knew what Shi Chonggui was thinking.

In fact, there are some people today who want to persuade Shi Chonggui to continue to surrender to Khitan, but they can't say it now.

Feng Dao sighed in his heart, if he wanted to avoid war with Khitan, they said it was useless, he had to call Sang Weihan back.

Because when he was in Jinyang in the past, Shi Chonggui respected Sang Weihan very much.
