The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 95 Pretend to Test Li Nong's Heart
Li Nong was thoughtful and couldn't be prepared. He was caught off guard by Ran Min's words, and he was forced to drag Li Nong into the hall.

In front of all the officials, Ran Min stroked his back and said to the officials: "Li Nong, he has served as the general of the Fujun since the previous dynasty. He conquered Mianhan in the south, guarded the west of Liaoning in the east, and was named Sikong. During the chaos in Yecheng Raising volunteer soldiers for the first time to defeat Zhang Jackal, such a feat, no one can match it."

The officials were speechless for a while, only the generals under Ran Min's command, such as Wang Tai, Dong Run, Zhang Wen, Zhou Cheng, etc., all looked directly at Li Nong and looked at him coldly.

Li Nong has been in the government for a long time, and of course his thoughts are meticulous, and he will not be confused by a moment of generosity.At this time, Li Nong's subordinates spoke coldly to each other. He wanted to look around, and suddenly found that all the generals in the palace were all members of Ran Min's party feathers, and the blades they held were cold and cold. Wang Mo only cast a glance at Li Nong at this time, and his eyes met. At that time, he hurriedly took it back, for fear of being noticed by others.

"That's the case." Li Nong thought to himself.

Although Li Nong has been in the position of Sikong for many years, after Shi Shi, Shi Zun, and Shi Jian's rebellion, he knew that the military power of the begging army had belonged to Ran Min. They all depended on Ran Min, and Li Nong felt a chill down his spine.

Li Nong woke up instantly at this moment, and hurriedly turned around and said: "The general is very popular, and Chen Nong was originally a soldier under the general's account, serving the front of the army."

"Hey, if Li Sikong hadn't raised up the Baiyi Army, the first volunteer to oppose Zhang Jackal's tyranny, who would be the owner of the Zhao Kingdom?" Ran Min still smiled slightly at Li Nong.

Li Nong knelt down suddenly and said: "I have little talent and low morals, and it is not my intention to serve as an official and pretend to be a court. Thanks to the help of the general, I have survived to this day. The hope of the general is unmatched. I also wish to respect the general and ascend the throne."

Ran Min leaned over to help Li Nong, but Li Nong took the opportunity to say secretly: "General, please don't put me on the fire. After the defeat of Liang Du, the reputation in the army belongs to the general. Today is different from the past, God There is a vacancy, why pretend to be modest, the general must not refuse."

Ran Min smiled understandingly and gently helped him up.Said to all the ministers: "If it comes to the throne, I mean that neither I nor Li Sikong can live in it."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers in the palace and all the officers and men were astonished.

In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Ran Min said: "The people of my state of Zhao belong to the old Jin people, and the Jin family still exists today. Please divide the prefectures and counties with the lords, and call them Mu, Shou, Gong, and Hou, and welcome the Jin Dynasty on the table." The emperor is still in Luoyang, how about it? "

At this time, one of the ministers jumped out, and Wang Yan, the servant, said: "I second the proposal, I think..."

"No, the general must not." Someone from the group of ministers shouted loudly. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Hu Mu, the Shangshu. Flying far away, how can you always control the hero, and mix with the world!"

Hu Mu still felt that he was not satisfied, and said to the officials and soldiers: "We are strong men in the army, how can the officials in the court be ordered by that kid in the Jin Dynasty, the general is a true hero, I would like to follow the general."

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they all said: "We are all willing to follow the general."

Wang Yan suddenly felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. At this time, Wang Mo cast a stern look, and Wang Yan suddenly knelt down in panic and said, "I have committed a very serious crime. I beg the general to inherit the position and be popular with others."

Ran Min slowly walked into the center of the group of officials, smiled and said to Hu Shangshu: "Hu Shangshu's words can be said to know the fate."

In the next few days, a good day and auspicious day were chosen, and Ran Min, the emperor, was on the high platform in the southern suburbs.Amnesty, change the Yuan to say: Yongxing, the country is called the Great Wei, take Ran as the surname, and remove all traces of the Shi family.The respected mother, Wang, is the empress dowager, his wife Dong is the empress, Zizhi is the crown prince, and Yin and other sons are all kings.With Li Nong as Taizai, leading Taiwei, and recording Shangshushi, he was named King of Qi, and all his sons were named County Dukes.

Ran Min, Han, Emperor of the Great Wei, finally changed the owner of Ye City.

Xiangguo, the capital of Zhao State

At this time, in the city of Xiangguo, there was Shi Zhi, the Shi clan who was originally stationed here. During the chaos in Yecheng, among the Shi clan who fled here was Shi Kun, king of Ruyin.

It turned out that most of the generals and ministers of the Zhao army who were unwilling to cooperate with Ran Min in the court also rushed to Xiangguo. This is a small city of Xiangguo.

Ever since the news of Shi Jian's murder of Ran Min came to light and people from all parties fled to Xiangguo, Xiangguo has always been Ran Min's next target. If it wasn't for the obstacles in Yecheng, Ran Min might have already used up Yecheng's soldiers , killing aggressively.This Shizhi also lives in anxiety day after day in Xiangguo, always paying attention to the movements in Yecheng.

On this day, Shi Zhi, Shi Kun, and former Zhao Guo Taiwei Zhang Ju gathered in the Xinxing Palace to discuss countermeasures, and they only talked.A member of the family hurriedly reported to the crowd: "Report, Yecheng is reporting, my lords, something serious has happened in Yecheng."

Xingxing Wang took the report, read it hastily, suddenly got up, and suddenly fell to the ground again.

Shi Kun and Zhang Ju rushed forward, Shi Zhi opened his eyes for a long time and said: "All the descendants of my Shi family died at the hands of Ran Min, bah, it was at the hands of Ran Min, a Han Chinese. My Shi family and his Ran Min did not live together. Dai Tian, ​​eating meat and holding the skin will not solve the hatred in my heart, Brother Emperor..."

Shi Kun next to him quietly threw the report on the ground with a dignified expression, and then passed the report to Zhang Ju who was beside him.

Seeing that Shi Zhi was slightly awake, Shi Kun said from the side: "Brother Wang, now Ran Min has stolen the artifact, but my country of Zhao has not stopped offering sacrifices to the country, and the emperor's brother has avoided living in Xiang country. When Ran Min ascended to the throne suddenly, his foundation is bound to be unstable, so he must quickly gather all the nobles and princes from all walks of life, form a rebel army, march into Yecheng, kill this traitor Ran Min, and restore our country of Zhao."

"That's right." Shi Zhi stood up slowly, forced himself to be calm, and murmured, "Don't mess yourself up."

Turning around, he lamented to Shi Kun: "Now all the soldiers of our Jie clan are withered, Ran Min's bandits are very powerful, what will they do?"

Zhang Ju put away the report, pondered for a while, respectfully invited the two of you to sit down, and said: "Xinxing King, Ruyin King, I see that there is still a solution to this matter."

Shi Kun hurriedly asked: "Oh, Zhang Taiwei is old enough to seek the country, so he must have a way to solve it, let's talk about it."

Zhang Ju raised his thick eyebrows, and said: "The old minister thought that now that the princes are in chaos, the world is in turmoil, and heroes from all sides are rising together, Ran Min is called the emperor at this time, and everyone will target him."

Shi Kun only pondered for a while, but he gradually revealed joy, and said: "Yes, what the Taiwei said is very true, thinking that although Ran Min occupies Ye City, but the land he occupies is only a few counties, it is so useless to respect himself." Great, proclaiming himself emperor. It seems that he is extremely arrogant."

"What King Ruyin said is true. Although Ran Min is powerful now, he only relies on the living army, the Han army. Hu Ling "Once issued, the Hu people will not be able to help each other. In this way, we can assist the country to gain the benefits of the tribes of Zhao State, and Ran Min will lose it."

Shi Kun nodded, and Shi Zhi gradually regained his composure, signaling to the left and right to serve tea, and asked Zhang Ju to speak slowly.

"Now the Jin Dynasty is far away from Jiangbiao, orphans and widowed mothers, and the country is in decline. However, Zhengshuo of the Han family is in the Jin Dynasty, and the destiny has not changed. Ran Min suddenly steals the emperor's title. The land of the Three Wus, the people of Jingyang can't make it, The Han people are also in confusion, they don't know who is Zhengshuo, and the two are missing."

"Ran Min has no virtue at all, he likes chaos and misfortune, the first emperor strengthened his bravery, and took him to serve before he joined the army. However, he ignored the old kindness, killed the emperor, slaughtered the clan, and the anger of man and god. Everyone in the territory can ask for it, and these three losses are also."

When Shi Zhi heard Zhang Juzhi's words, he felt at ease, and said with a smile, "Taiwei Zhang is really insightful, and he is at ease alone."

Shi Kun said from the side: "Brother Wang, the so-called master is famous. Brother Wang should ascend the throne quickly to show the world that our Shi family has not yet died out, and the Zhao State has not yet fallen. After that, reward the soldiers, issue orders, and lead The princes from all walks of life fought against Ran Min."

Shi Zhi was a little hesitant at this time, "Now we are Xiangguo, with few soldiers and few generals, what is the proof? Why don't we let the city go away..."

"Brother Wang!" Shi Kun said anxiously, "Now my Shi clan's descendants are all withered, and now only you and I are left. If we don't work hard, will we just watch the achievements of my previous emperors be destroyed?"

Zhang Ju also said: "The words of King Xinxing and King Ruyin are justified. If the king is just a villager in the wild, he can still live for a while, but the grandson of the previous dynasty, Ran Min will definitely kill the grass and roots. Today, righteousness is death, and it is okay to kill if you want to die." It is death, death together, and death for righteousness. Besides, it is human-made, and I think that the king will return to Yecheng soon and restore the country."

"Returning soon?" Shi Zhi was very suspicious when he heard this.

"Although Ran Min has ascended the throne now, there are still many people who coerce and coerce him. The minister and Li Nong have an old relationship. If the minister hadn't tipped off the news, Li Nong would have died. Chasing after him is an internal response."

"This person is powerful and powerful, and he is the first to rebel against me, Shi Clan, how can he be used?" Shi Kun was very suspicious.

"There are many people who are good at the beginning, but few are good at the end. This matter has been carefully planned by the minister, and it will be noticed soon." When Zhang Ju said this, he didn't say much. Shi Zhi and Shi Kun knew that such things should not be ignored by outsiders. smell.

Shi Zhihu asked again: "Oh, Zhang Taiwei planned Zhou Xiang, so there is still foreign aid?"

"That's right, Yao Yizhong from the Qiang nationality is wise and resolute, good at winning people's hearts, and he is the center of our court; If you don’t betray yourself, such a big event can still be turned around.”

Speaking of Pu Hong, Shi Kun's expression changed, and he said to Shi Zhi: "But my brother heard that Pu Hong heard the prophecy that 'Caofu Ying will be king', so he changed his surname to Fu Hong. When I met Fangtou on the road, I took it all away. The people of the clan are going west to the land of Guanzhong, and this person's heart of disobedience is becoming clearer."

Shi Zhi had no time to care about other places at this time, he just said: "Whether it is Pu Hong or Fu Hong, the most urgent thing now is to kill Ran Min quickly, if we don't do it soon, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to grow up." Ju said, "Zhang Taiwei, the state of Zhao is entrusted to Qing."

At this time, the doorman hurriedly came to report, "Report, urgent report, Your Majesty, the chariot general Fu Hong was poisoned to death by Ma Qiu, and his son led his tribe to wander in Fangtou."

"Oh," all three of them sighed.

Shi Zhi sighed: "All the loyal ministers of my state of Zhao have fallen, and the bandits are powerful. Hurry up and gather the soldiers and punish them."

"Huh" bang, winter goes to spring, and the southeast wind blows, only entering the mansion, and in the courtyard of "chiji", the migratory birds that overwintered are gradually returning to the north.

"Yes."

Shi Zhi only went out of the main hall, walked towards the courtyard, and said with great joy: "I, Zhao Guo, will definitely meet, and everything will be revived and revived like this southeast wind." , turned around."

"The minister must fulfill his mission."

Zhang Ju went out of the palace gate, only going to his own residence, only walking on the street, suddenly the sky began to snowflakes, and the passers-by on the street were very surprised.

"The weather is really weird. A few days ago, I thought it was spring, but I didn't expect it to be cold." Pedestrians on the street hurried.

Zhang Ju walked faster, near the city gate, the wind direction changed suddenly, "jumping", Zhao Guo's flag blew down in front of him.

"Master Zhang, there are people from Yecheng." Zhang Ju was about to enter the mansion when the gatekeepers rushed out to greet him, and said to himself.

"Quick, quick, lead me there." Zhang Ju only followed the doorman to the inner room of the mansion.

"Your servant pays his respects to Zhang Taiwei at the risk of death." A person in the inner room saw Zhang Ju coming and only knelt down and bowed.

"My lord Wang escaped from death and escaped from Yecheng. Don't forget me, the old master of the Shi family. Please get up quickly." Zhang Ju only helped Wang Zhuo up.

"General, the villain has only to pay a visit to the general." After speaking, Wang Zhuo only sent the letter with him to Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju glanced at it in a hurry and held it tightly, and said happily: "As expected, as expected, there is indeed a gap between Li Nong and Ran Min, and we will take advantage of this opportunity."

"After delivering the letter, my wife and daughter have all left Yecheng. I would like to go down to the west of your mansion to hold ink and inkstones, and stand on your shoulders for your lord."

Zhang Ju collected his expression, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wang Zhuo, I don't want to take you in, but you know."

Wang Zhuo remained silent, and listened carefully to Zhang Ju who continued, "The situation in Xiang country is in crisis now. The army of Yan country has broken through Jicheng in the north of our border. The guards are still alive and dead. There are rumors in the world that he has the heart to stand on his own. The country can no longer take care of it. The biggest worry now lies in Yecheng."

Wang Zhuo sighed helplessly, and said, "Master Zhang's meaning, I know..."

Zhang Ju continued: "Now Li Nong intends to return to the Jin family in the south. Wang Mo, Wang Yan and others are all the elders of the three dynasties of Shi and Zhao. Under Min's command, his heart is towards the state of Xiang. Although Wang Mo pretends to agree to Li Nong's wish to go south, he still wants to return to the Shi family in his heart. It is dangerous to travel south now, and Wang Zhuo..."

Wang Zhuo only looked at Zhang Ju, and continued his words: "I know, now Xiangguo and Yecheng are in charge, who else but me."

Zhang Ju only bowed his head and said: "Thank you, King Zhonglang, I will take care of your wife and children and heirs. I also hope that Zhonglang will restore our state of Zhao."

Wang Zhuo bid farewell, only turned around, and wanted to exit Zhang Ju's mansion.

Zhang Ju only shouted: "Wait a minute, sharing adversity is easy, but sharing joy is difficult. If Li Nong also has the heart to replace him, it is still unknown. I predict that great things will happen, so you can relax."

Wang Zhuo was only a little puzzled, and just bid farewell here.
