Dajin royal family

Chapter 385 King Liang's Attitude ([-])

From the moment the queen admitted that the imperial edict and jade seal were true, Jiang Yan knew he was in danger.

All he can rely on is his identity as the son of the first emperor. According to the current situation, he is the first in line to succeed.

Of course, he is not actually the first one. According to the eldest son system, Prince Zhao's eldest son, Jiang You, should be more qualified.

It's just that he subconsciously ruled out Jiang You.

But Jiang Chengxiao took out the real imperial edict and jade seal, so his advantage will be gone.

Suddenly, a wave of fear came to him.

The queen looked at the edict, and suddenly realized what the emperor said at that time.

I still remember when the emperor summoned her and told her that after he became famous, there would be someone to protect their future safety.

At that time, the queen really didn't know who would protect them, until today the king of Liang took out this edict.

She understood that the emperor must have exchanged with Liang Wang on this condition.

In exchange for a stable second half of their lives.

Thinking of this, the Queen's eyes were moist.

She calmly collected the imperial decree and solemnly handed it over to Jiang Chengxiao.

"Since it is the edict of the late emperor, His Highness should keep it carefully."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, handed the imperial decree to Jiyun, and he took it back.

Wang Xun was caught in a dilemma at this time, he didn't know whether he should immediately persuade Liang Wang to ascend the throne, after all, he had all the edicts for his succession.

But thinking of his brother's words, he was a little worried.

Once he speaks, I am afraid that the officials below will follow his opinion. This is not very good, and it will make King Liang afraid.

Fortunately, King Liang spoke at this time.

"I know, you all want to know if I'm going to take the throne."

Jiang Chengxiao glanced at the dejected Jiang Yan, turned to the officials in the lobby, and continued: "But I want to tell you, I'm not in the mood to think about this now!"

After the words fell, and the next sentence began, Jiang Chengxiao's voice was raised to a higher level in vain.

"Nowadays, Yu Wenshu, the rebellious minister and traitor who usurped the throne, is still making waves in Luoyang, deceiving the people all over the world. The six ministers of the imperial court and the officials of various temples are deeply in the hands of bandits. Every time I think of this, Qingque is extremely heartbroken and wants to grab the land with his head!"

"How can you allow me to ascend the throne in Taiyuan, how to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Jiang family, and dissatisfy Yu Wenshu, what face do I have to ascend the throne!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chengxiao's eyes were red and swollen, and his tone was impassioned.

Wang Xun suddenly realized that it was because of this reason that Jiang Chengxiao did not ascend the throne.

King Liang is still affectionate and righteous, and at this time he is thinking about rescuing the court officials.

As for the other officials, they were even more moved. In fact, King Liang could directly ascend the throne with the imperial edict, but he chose to rescue the Luoyang officials first.

Just this heart, this will, moved them quite a lot.

"Your Highness understands righteousness deeply, we are ashamed of ourselves!" Wang Xun cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Your Highness is righteous!" The officials bowed their hands.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "As for enthronement, I will discuss it after I rescue the ministers in Luoyang. Now, everything will be as it is!"

During this meeting, Jiang Chengxiao expressed his attitude that he would not be enthroned for the time being, and all plans would be made after he rescued the minister of Luoyang.

Second, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xiao were raised in Jinyang Palace, and the two youngest sons of Prince Zhao, together with Jiang Yan, lived in Jinyang Palace.

Everything that is needed is distributed according to the etiquette system.

Third, immediately mobilize the army of grain and grass, and the king of Liang will personally lead the army south to conquer Yuwenshu.

After all, the current situation has not changed, Liang Wang still controls all the power, and because of the relationship between the late emperor's edict, the ministers under him have become closer to him and recognized him.

The difference should be that there are more queen mothers and others.

But it doesn't matter, because Jiang Chengxiao took out the last emperor's edict and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so the queen mother and others have become insignificant.

Now it's really time to 'serve' the Queen Mother.

The queen mother also understood this truth, so she accepted the arrangement safely and led the maids to Jinyang Palace.

For her, it is enough to have a stable second half of her life.

Regardless of whether Jiang Chengxiao can show the will or not, she is aware of her situation.

Prince Liang's Mansion, study room.

Yu Qingze and Du Ruming knelt in front of Jiang Chengxiao, and they were looking at the imperial edict of the first emperor.

Jiang Chengxiao stood in front of the geomancy map to watch the current situation.

Although he ordered the conquest of Yu Wenshu in front of many officials a day ago, in fact, his army had already set off.

Pei Yuanyan led the [-] Black Eagle Army to Hanoi County, and Yu Chijing led the [-] Green Eagle Army to pass through Fukouxing and arrived in Wei County.

He will lead [-] Huanyun Heavy Cavalry Army and [-] Qingying Army to Pingcheng, Huguan to the south.

This time, he mobilized [-] elite troops.

The logistics, food, grass and supplies have all been rationed, just waiting for him to set off tomorrow.

Not long after, Jiang Chengxiao straightened out the idea of ​​sending troops in his mind, turned around, walked to the table and knelt down.

And Yu Qingze and Du Ruming also finished reading the imperial decree. Du Ruming put the imperial decree away and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that His Highness has already been prepared to serve Meng Lang."

Thinking of the disturbance in the mourning hall that day, Du Ruming felt guilty.

"Not counting Meng Lang, you are just thinking of me."

Jiang Chengxiao reached out and poured him and Yu Qing a cup of tea, "What do you think of the imperial edict of the late emperor?"

Yu Qing sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "According to my subordinates, the first emperor should have anticipated today's events, so he left an imperial decree for His Highness to succeed. One reason is that among the clan kings, only His Highness is capable To eliminate Yunei, secondly, I want His Highness to protect the Queen Mother and others."

"That's right, I see the same thing as Master Yu." Du Ruming said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and only His Highness among the clan has the ability to return the country to the Jin Dynasty. It was a wise move for the late emperor to do so."

"Then what do you think is the best time for me to ascend the throne?" Jiang Chengxiao suddenly changed the subject.

The two looked at each other, but Yu Qing remained silent.

Du Ruming said bluntly: "Your Highness must not ascend the throne now."

"Tell me."

"Your Highness, the officials in Taiyuan are now looking forward to Wang Xun's leadership. Taiyuan was originally the headquarters of the Wang family. If His Highness ascends the throne here, he may receive the full support of the Wang family for a while, but after a long time, he will inevitably be hindered by him."

"Now that the world is not in peace, what His Royal Highness needs is a stable and united rear, so Taiyuan cannot be chaotic. Furthermore, if His Highness ascends the throne in a hurry, he will inevitably be criticized. All the officials in the court are in the hands of Yu Wenshu, and there are no highly respected ministers." It is very wrong to endorse for His Highness."

"Thirdly, the counties are unstable now, and His Highness can't act without authorization."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled gratifiedly, Du Ruming was still mature enough to seek the country.

"you're right."

Yu Qing said: "Your Highness, I have some opinions about this conquest of Yu Wenshu."

"You said."

"Now that Yu Wenshu is supporting the little emperor to ascend the throne and establish a puppet dynasty, it is no problem for His Highness to take the initiative to attack. The opportunity is just right, but His Highness must consider the elite army of twelve guards in Yu Wenshu's hands."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "You are right. The Twelve Guards are brave and good at fighting, and they are not much better than the Black Eagle, Qingying, and the Second Army. This time I will send troops to conquer Yu Wenshu. If it fails, it will demoralize the army and people in Taiyuan. If it succeeds If so, there are many benefits.”

"That's why, this battle cannot be defeated. I have decided to attack in three ways. General Pei from Hanoi County, General Yuchi from Wei County, and I will lead [-] troops directly south to Changping County to make overall arrangements."

"Your Highness is thoughtful and considerate, but His Highness still needs to consider Yu Binghong in Guanzhong. If he goes and comes back, it's not very good." Du Ruming said.

"It doesn't matter. Zu Yan led the Huiyun Army to station in Longquan County. Yiyong and Guanhedukou stood firm. Yu Binghong couldn't easily get in. Besides, the situation in Guanzhong is not that simple. I got the news that Yu Binghong Hong has already marched westward, and it seems that he is planning to use Yan'an County as the foundation to stabilize Guanzhong." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Yu Qing said: "Now that Guanzhong is in chaos, Your Highness can take this opportunity to consolidate Bingzhou."

"Yes, this is my first step right now, but now we have to think about how to teach Yu Wenshu a lesson."

Hearing this, Du Ruming was quietly relieved.

If Liang Wang said that he wanted to take Yu Wenshu immediately, he would definitely dissuade him.

Now that everything has not been figured out, it is the most stupid way to rashly fight Yu Wenshu to the death.

But listening to King Liang's tone, it should be that he didn't think about exterminating Yu Wenshu now, that's fine.

Then he said that Yu Wenshu usurped the throne, but his strength should not be underestimated. Based on the current situation, it would be extremely difficult to eliminate Yu Wenshu.

Du Ruming leaned forward and smiled, "This subordinate has an idea, which can help His Highness reduce Yu Wenshu's strength."

"Tell me." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

Du Ruming said: "Most of the children of the Twelve Guards Army were born in Guanzhong. Now that the situation in Guanzhong is corrupt, Li Yuan borrowed troops to speak out. This may be a good opportunity."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao's eyes lit up, and there is indeed something that can be done here.
