Dajin royal family

Chapter 381 The Attitude of King Liang ([-])

Kuai Siyu obviously didn't understand this Master Du Ruming who was famous for his "dedication" in Liaodong.

"Your Highness, my subordinate Du Ruming has something urgent to report!" Du Ruming shouted towards the kneeling figure inside.

With this sound, the officials around who came to express their condolences cast their eyes one after another, and many bureaucrats pointed at him, obviously very dissatisfied with Du Ruming's reckless behavior.

In their opinion, the word filial piety is as big as the sky, and nothing should disturb His Royal Highness Liang Wang at this time.

"Master Du, please leave!" Kuai Siyu said in a bad tone.

He didn't expect Du Ruming to make a noise in public, how decent it is.

Du Ruming's neck twitched, "General Kuai, you can either tie me up today, or let me go in to meet His Highness!"

"you!"

Kuai Siyu's face was a little angry. If it was someone else, he would have tied him up immediately.But Du Ruming was valued by the master, but he couldn't do this.

Nan Jiyun came out from the mourning hall and looked at Du Ruming.

"Master Du, if you have anything to tell me, I will pass it on to Your Highness."

Du Ruming shook his head, "It's a very important matter, I can only explain it to His Highness myself."

Nan Jiyun stared at Du Ruming, and Du Ruming also looked at Nan Jiyun without giving in.

Yu Qingze and others surrounded him and persuaded Du Ruming to leave in a few words, but Du Ruming refused to leave.

"Lord Du, wait a moment, I will report to His Highness Ming."

Nan Jiyun left a sentence, turned and entered the mourning hall.

Jiang Chengxiao actually heard Du Ruming's shout, but he deliberately ignored it.

"My lord, Master Du will not leave." Nan Jiyun came to Jiang Chengxiao and knelt down.

Jiang Chengxiao slowly opened his eyes, bloodshot.

After several days of not sleeping, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was extremely exhausted.

"Have Pei Yuanyan and Yuchi Jing gone south?" Jiang Chengxiao asked something that had nothing to do with Du Ruming.

"Just received the eagle letter. General Pei has already arrived in Hanoi County through Taihang Xing, and General Yuchi has arrived in Wei County through Fukou Xing."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao let out a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed a handful of millet stalks and put them into the brazier.

"The Queen and the others have arrived in Taiyuan?"

Nan Jiyun said in a low voice: "They arrived yesterday, Duke Yuchi arranged them in Jinyang Palace."

Jinyang Palace is two miles northeast of Taiyuan, and it is a residence of the emperor.

In fact, Jiang Chengxiao was speechless because Heidui told him that the Queen and others were rescued from Luoyang by King Zhao.

It was also the decision of Zhao Wang and the emperor to defect to Taiyuan.

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't figure out why King Zhao would do this.

Just for the title of 'Dayi', or let myself protect them?

If it's the former, Jiang Chengxiao doesn't need it at all. There are rebels everywhere in this world, and his identity as a royal family is enough to crusade against rebels.

If it's the latter... Well, Jiang Chengxiao thinks it should be the latter.

He is completely acceptable to just protecting a few women, but there are a few royal children among them, which makes Jiang Chengxiao very upset.

He is not in the mood to play a small game of power and profit with a few princes and grandchildren.

"Ministers should know about it." Jiang Chengxiao said lightly.

"Yes, the subordinates have already distributed all the news."

"Very well, you pay close attention to the courtiers who are going to visit the queen, and make a list of them."

"My subordinate understands."

"Let Du Ruming come in."

Nan Jiyun glanced at the master in surprise, and immediately retreated.

Not long after, Du Ruming took off his shoes, bent his body, and walked lightly to half a step behind Jiang Chengxiao, opened his hem and knelt down.

"Take the liberty to disturb Your Highness, and this subordinate is guilty."

"Okay, since you're guilty, let's kneel for a while longer." Jiang Chengxiao said with a hoarse voice, then closed his eyes and meditated.

Du Ruming gave a wry smile, then straightened his clothes and knelt obediently.

He has nothing to say, filial piety is greater than the sky, His Highness is so filial, the people in Taiyuan all praise him, so naturally he can't ruin His Highness's reputation.

The female relatives in the hall cried and died several times, several candles burned out, and the light gradually dimmed.

Du Ruming didn't know how long he had been kneeling, until someone lightly touched his shoulder, and he came back from a daze.

"Lord Du, use some clean water." A servant brought a bowl of water.

"Thank you."

After Du Ruming gulped down the water, he realized that Liang Wang was also drinking water.

After Jiang Chengxiao finished drinking, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, I know the rules of guarding the spirit, but His Highness has a heavy responsibility now, so you must not hurt your body."

Jiang Chengxiao put the teacup back on the serving plate, and waved away the servants.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Not eating is an external statement, but in fact, everyone has their own little tricks.

For example, the tea Jiang Chengxiao just drank was not tea, but rice porridge that had been boiled for several hours.

Otherwise, who can stand drinking only water for seven days?

Of course, Jiang Chengxiao believed that Zhao Wangquan would not blame him for his knowledge.

"I heard from Jiyun that you are in a hurry, so tell me." Jiang Chengxiao said.

At this moment, the two are still kneeling one behind the other, this is really kneeling!

Kneeling and kneeling are two concepts.

Sit on your knees, your buttocks can fall on your calves, at least there is still a point of strength.

Kneeling means straightening your waist, straightening your thighs, and leaning on your knees.

Compared with the two, kneeling is obviously more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Du Ruming felt that his knees had lost all feeling. Although they were kneeling on the futon, it still hurt after kneeling for a long time.

Hearing King Liang's question, Du Ruming quickly replied: "Yes."

"Go ahead."

"Your Highness, now that the late emperor has passed away, and Luoyang has been stolen by Yu Wenshu, the colleagues in Taiyuan, Liaodong, and the counties in Youzhou have lost their backbone in their hearts."

The meaning of Du Ruming's words is very simple, what should we do now and who should we listen to.

To be simple and straightforward, that is to ask again, are you enthroned, Your Highness?

After all, the emperor was dead, and Liang Wang publicly refused to recognize the Luoyang court outside Taiyuan City, so they had to start anew.

This is very particular.

In the end is the king of Liang ascended the throne, or not for the time being.

If they want to be enthroned, they have to prepare in advance, if not, they have to think of ways to unite people's hearts.

After all, without a stable team, administrative efficiency will be greatly reduced.

If Liang Wang did not win Taiyuan and was still in Youzhou and Liaodong, then naturally this kind of issue would not need to be considered.

Because the three counties outside the Guan in Liaodong only know the King of Liang but not His Majesty, the people of Yuyang, Beiping, Zhuojun, and Anle in Youzhou are all grateful to the King of Liang.

As long as King Liang expresses his opinion, the people and bureaucrats in these counties naturally have no opinion on Jiang Chengxiao's rule.

But the situation is different now. King Liang has captured Taiyuan, and at the same time sent troops to Loufan, Lishi, Longquan, and Shangdang counties. It is still unknown whether the bureaucrats in these places are loyal to His Highness King Liang.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to set up a memorial archway.

What archway?
Naturally, it is the same archway as Yu Wenshu, find a puppet royal family to support the enthronement, and then King Liang will become regent and take charge of the power.

This is actually an unavoidable solution, because the world is in chaos and people's thoughts are moving. Who knows what the county guards in these places think?
Not to mention Bingzhou, a region with diverse families, if they have any objections to King Liang's power, there will be big troubles at that time.

Of course, Liang Wang himself is also a royal family, so he can naturally ascend the throne.

However, it depends on Liang Wang's own opinion.

This was what Du Ruming was talking about.

This is indeed a big deal.

Now everyone in the world knows that the emperor is dead, and Luoyang has been given the posthumous title of Emperor Li, and the bureaucrats in Bingzhou stretched their necks waiting for King Liang's feedback.

To be enthroned, or not to be enthroned.

"Who does Master Du think this backbone should be?" Jiang Chengxiao asked softly.

He naturally knew what Du Ruming meant, but he was not in a hurry.

"Of course it's Your Highness." Du Ruming said without hesitation.

The person he is loyal to is the King of Liang from the beginning to the end. From the time when the King of Liang appreciated him and allowed him to show his talents in the three counties of Liaodong, his heart belonged to the King of Liang.

"You mean to let me ascend the throne in Bingzhou?" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with Du Ruming's statement. He needed talented military officers, and even more so, civil servants who planned strategies.

Du Ruming is such a talent, this person is very courageous in making decisions, and many major events in the three counties of Liaodong are made by this person under pressure.

And every decision he made was right, which brought huge benefits to Liaodong.

If it is divided according to the talent level, if there are five stars in total, this person should be five stars among civil servants.

What's more, Du Ruming is different from Pei Ningqing and others, he is not a descendant of a family, but a descendant of Jingzhao Du's family, and belongs to the kind who came out of the fifth service.

It can be said that he, Yu Qingze and Yu Chijing are all confidants who can be absolutely trusted.

It's not that Pei Yuanyan, Zheng Ruxin, Zheng Ruyi, Pei Ningqing and others can't be completely trusted, but it's just that they are involved in their own family, so it is inevitable that they will be a little embarrassed.

What Jiang Chengxiao needs is a courtier who is absolutely loyal and considers him wholeheartedly.

"However, I do not recommend that Your Highness ascend the throne now." Du Ruming said suddenly.
