Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 741 False Emperor
The north wind has risen, and the cold wind is howling.

Wei Zheng stayed in the warm room and was brewing home brew. He lifted the straw futon on the wine basin, probed to see how the glutinous rice was fermenting, and stretched out a finger into the dimple in the center of the basin to stir up some wine. , Check the concentration, and finally put your finger into your mouth and suck it.

Licking his lips, Wei Zheng was very satisfied.

After his wine has been continuously improved, the taste of Weijia wine is getting better and better.

His wife, Mrs. Pei, came in from the outside, "Someone came from the commander's residence, saying that the commander-in-chief summoned you to discuss matters."

Pei was born in Hedong, but he had to flee his hometown with his family because of the war and bandits, and finally came to Liaodong.She was born in the Pei family of Hedong, so to speak, she is also a well-known noble family, but her family can only be regarded as a side branch of the Pei family. In troubled times, the Pei family of Hedong could not protect these branches.

After coming to Liaodong, the family business in the Central Plains was even more abandoned.

Fortunately, Pei's father is a son of a famous family, although he has no money or wealth, he has studied and practiced martial arts for many years, and he is quite capable.So in the end, he was recruited by Luo Cheng's commander-in-chief and became a small official in the commander-in-chief.

After Luo Cheng heard that he had a daughter who was expected to be a girl with good character, he acted as a matchmaker for Wei Zheng and betrothed the daughter to Wei Zheng.Wei Zheng is over 30 years old, but because he has been a Taoist priest for more than ten years, he is still an old bachelor.

Previously, Luo Cheng asked the soldiers to accept Goguryeo concubines. Although Wei Zheng accepted the Goguryeo women he gave him, he didn't take any of them. He just became a servant at home.

However, Wei Zheng was very satisfied with Mrs. Pei. He accepted Luo Cheng's introduction and went on a blind date with Mrs. Pei, and found that this woman from a famous family can adapt to the new situation now that she came to Liaodong. And I heard that she even started weaving by herself.

So Dasheng liked it, talked for a while, and found that the girl knew a lot about poetry, classics and history, so this matter was done.

There is no big fuss, just a simple wedding, and the husband and wife treat each other as guests after marriage.

"Help me look at these wines. Now is the critical time for fermentation. You have to watch the time and open the cover to dissipate heat, and it can't be too cold. If the fermentation is enough, you need to immediately put the water into the wine barrel for the second fermentation. The time can't be wrong, if it's wrong, the wine tastes wrong." Wei Zheng confessed to his wife.

Following Wei Zheng, Mrs. Pei also learned a lot of brewing methods of Wei's homebrew, so she said with a smile, "Don't worry, go to the commander-in-chief's mansion quickly, and don't keep the commander-in-chief waiting."

Wei Zheng took off the robe on his body, took the official uniform handed over by his wife, and said, "I guess something good happened."

"How do you know it's a good thing?"

Wei Zheng chuckled.

After changing his official uniform, Wei Zheng rode to the commander's mansion.

As soon as I saw Luo Cheng, I saw that there was a spring breeze on his face.

"Marshal, old man, I watched the stars at night and found that the emperor star fell and the Zhou star was up and down. Could it be that there is some news from Jiangdu?"

Luo Cheng laughed out loud.

"You Old Daoist Wei, you can really talk."

"This is not nonsense, it is really the fall of the emperor star, the ups and downs of the Zhou star, this is a big celestial phenomenon."

Marshal Hou Mo Chenyi, the army staff officer of the Shuai Mansion, said in amazement, "I didn't expect Wei Changshi to be so good. You guessed it right, the Supreme Emperor collapsed."

"How did it collapse?"

"Killed by Yu Wenhuaji!"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that person to end up like this, but for us, this is a good thing."

Hou Mo and Chen Yi nodded, "Yes, the collapse is a good thing for us, and it will save us a lot of trouble in the future."

Now in Liaodong, the king of Liao, Yang Hao, is supported as the emperor, and then Yang Guang is respected as the supreme emperor. They did not rebel, and they are still the court of the Sui Dynasty.

It's just that the father is replaced by the son, the Great Sui is still the Great Sui.

Luo Cheng and others are still courtiers of the Sui Dynasty.

The banner played is naturally that the son will restore the country for the father, crusade against the rebellion, and stabilize the world.

But in any case, since there is no rebellion, and since it is still under the banner of the Sui family, then Yang Guang is alive, after all, has a great influence on the Liaodong court, especially the emperor is not in Liaodong, but has another court in Jiangdu .

Now that he is dead, no one will suppress the Liaodong court anymore.

"Then we can hold a national mourning, and then use the name of crusade against the regicide rebellion. At the same time, I believe that once the emperor dies, some of the court officials and soldiers who are still standing firm will fall to us." Wei Zhengdao.

While pouring tea for Wei Zheng, Luo Cheng told his confidant adviser the latest situation in the Central Plains.

"After Yu Wenhua and the regicide, he became the Daxu Emperor for a day, and then he was killed by Li Yuan, Chen Leng, Shen Guang and others who attacked Jiangdu."

"Is there such a thing?" Wei Zheng was very surprised now, since Yu Wenhua dared to kill the king, there is no reason why he is not sure at all, only to be emperor for one day?This is too sloppy.

Luo Cheng also shook his head involuntarily.

After all, Li Yuan still refused to submit, and finally ran counter to him.

"what about now?"

So Hou Mochen told Wei Zheng that now Empress Xiao has become the regent empress dowager, Li Yuanlai and Huer and six others have become assistant ministers and worshiped the prime minister.However, Li Yuan had already led his army northward, leaving Chen Leng to stay in Jiangdu.

"Li Yuan left Jiangdu?"

"Well, they have already crossed the Huaihe River. They made peace with Lai Huerhui in Pengcheng. They replenished a lot of food and grass soldiers from Pengcheng and are heading north along the canal. It seems that they want to return to Xijing via Li Mina, but We don't know yet whether Li Mi will give way."

"However, what is more interesting is that the Empress Dowager Xiao and Li Yuan of Jiangdu made Yang You of Guanzhong the emperor, but Wang Shichong of Luoyang, whom they worshiped as the auxiliary prime minister, refused to accept it, and instead supported the king of Yue Yang Yu as the emperor. No. Huangtai, now Luoyang claims that Li Yuan is holding the Empress Dowager hostage and plotting against him, so he is declared a traitor, and Li Yuan is required to return to the Luoyang court and return the Empress Dowager."

Wei Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "One emperor in Daxing in Xijing, one emperor in Luoyang in Dongdu, and one emperor in Liaodong? The Yang family is divided into three. The nephews of our Liaodong emperor, they are in civil turmoil, which is beneficial to us."

Luo Cheng said indifferently, "There are already enough emperors in this world."

However, Luo Cheng also admitted that the murder of Yang Guang also meant the end of an era.

The last majesty of the Sui court has been torn to pieces by Yu Wenhua and others. Now there is no orthodoxy, only the strong are respected.

"Emperor Taizong Wu? Isn't this too much?" Wei Zheng couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the posthumous and temple names given to Yang Guang by the Jiangdu court.

Luo Cheng nodded, "It's really too much, we can't use this."

So Wei Zheng discussed with Luo Cheng and the others.

"Emperor Shenzong Ming!"

In the end, Luo Cheng made a decision, Emperor Ming, Ming praised and degraded, Yang Guang could neither be a virtuous person, nor be able to think far, let alone take care of the Quartet and think far.

As for the temple name of Shenzong, it is definitely not as good as those of benevolence, filial piety, civil and military. If the country has been tossed like this, even though the country has not been subjugated when it dies, it is not much better. It is not bad to give the temple name of Shenzong. Not eligible to own.

"Then honor Empress Xiao as Empress Dowager."

As for the two emperors of Luoyang and Daxing, they were naturally not recognized, and they were classified as false emperors and anti-kings. Even Li Yuan was classified as a rebel by Luo Cheng.

If you refuse to cooperate, you are the enemy, and there is nothing to be polite about.
