History of Yongwu

Chapter 355 Change of Dynasty

In the morning light, the golden roof of the palace was illuminated by thin light. It had been a long time since so many people had gathered in front of the vermilion palace gate. The guards in front of the palace gate ignored the intruders. Everyone knew in their hearts that the result was doomed, and they even vaguely expected the result. .

Ji'an rushed into the Changxin Hall in a hurry, staggered and almost fell off the imperial steps.

"Queen, Zhao Zhiping has led the courtiers of Jin into the palace."

"Really?" Nangong Yuliang felt relieved for a while, stood up and looked outside the hall and said, "Where are you?"

Ji'an looked at him, stepped forward and said, "The Forbidden Army of the Imperial City is also following, they..."

can you?That's not bad... Nangong Yuliang lightly lifted the hem of his robe and went straight out, standing under the corridor, looking at the bright blue sky.

The gate of Changxin Hall opened, Zhao Zhiping had already entered with the crowd, raised his head slightly, looked at Nangong Yuliang who was waiting in front of the hall, and was taken aback for a moment.

"See the Empress Dowager" lifted his robe, and Zhao Zhiping led the crowd to kneel under the long imperial steps, "The world is in chaos, the King of Jin is virtuous, the Queen Mother should respectfully invite the King of Jin..."

"Mr. Zhao, I promise you" Nangong Yuliang interrupted him.

Zhao Zhiping raised his head, thinking of Dongyang County for some reason, the peaceful priest saved his life, and he saw King Jin for the first time.

"Thank you Queen Mother" Zhao Zhiping put away his thoughts and respectfully accepted the order.

The bustling crowd left, Zhao Zhiping was half a step behind, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, my minister guarantees that your life is not in danger."

"Mr." Nangong Yuliang took a step forward, "Can I... still see King Jin?"

"Impossible" Zhao Zhiping held the ceremony, and the apology in his heart disappeared in a flash.

Can't you?Well then... I don't think he wants to see me either.

Taishifu

Wang Qianhe threw the imperial edict out, looked at the person and said, "I will never join you in rebellion."

Du Xuetang glanced at him, picked up the imperial edict and said, "The king of Jin obeys the wishes of the people, and the West Palace also respectfully invites the king of Jin to inherit the throne. This move by the grand master is a rebellion."

"Xue Fu, rebellious minister, what qualifications do you have to speak God's will to this old man?" Wang Qianhe stared at him, his beard trembling, "You forced the Queen Mother..."

"He's not the Empress Dowager!" Du Xuetang interrupted, looked at him calmly and said, "Grand Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Wang family and your son. Are you going to punish everyone?"

"Ms. Wang...don't be a rebellious minister." Wang Qianhe straightened his body, turned and left.

Heh... Du Xuetang sneered, took the imperial edict, and turned to leave. Wang Qianhe may be loyal to Emperor Xuan and Young Emperor, but nothing can be changed.

In December of the fifth year of Jianping, Zhao Zhiping brought all the ministers of the Jin Kingdom into the imperial palace, and begged the Queen Mother Nangong Yuliang in front of the Changxin Hall to ask the King of Jin to inherit the throne. On that day, Nangong Yuliang was invited out of the Changxin Hall and moved to the West Palace.

King Jin's Mansion

"West Palace?" Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping with a bright yellow imperial edict.

"The prince's succession to the great position is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people, not the succession of the young emperor, let alone the order of the empress dowager, so as to prevent the empress dowager from having an excuse to intervene in politics in the future." Zhao Zhiping bowed slightly and said respectfully.

From now on, Nangong Yuliang is no longer the Empress Dowager, and Changxin Hall can no longer live in him. In fact, no place in the palace can accommodate him anymore. Only Xiyuan, the place where King Jianning was once imprisoned, can be him. Home for half a lifetime.

"Intervention in politics? Do you think a person with a dead heart will still intervene in politics?"

Qin Yu remembered that Yuliang he saw in Changxin Hall before the expedition, his thin body seemed to be destroyed by a gust of wind, all his relatives were gone, and his beloved son died tragically. It is a great courage.

"But" Zhao Zhiping suppressed the guilt in his eyes, and said quietly, "My lord wants to show the world."

Hehe... Qin Yu nodded with a smile, stopped looking at him, waved his hand and said, "Back off"

"My lord..."

"Didn't this king have to resign three times?" Qin Yu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and said to him, "This is what the world wants to see."

"The humble minister will leave." Zhao Zhiping saluted deeply, and left cautiously.

Nanjiao Altar

Qi Jinyu, the elder of the four dynasties, stood at the top, reciting a long prayer, to prove to heaven how he has both ability and virtue, how he complies with the wishes of the people, and how he is worthy of sitting on the throne of emperor.

Qin Yu stood at the bottom of the steps, looking at a corner of the altar, where a sparrow landed with its fat head tilted, a little funny, he smiled, and came back to see Qi Jinyu was already waiting for him.Lifting his robe, he stepped on the steps. Fortunately, everyone knelt down, otherwise he would be limping a leg, which would be too disrespectful to the dignity of the emperor.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors, you can be worthy of the late emperor today..."

When Wang Qianhe's voice came, Qin Yu paused and continued to move forward. He could hear the sound of guards running out, and Wang Taishi should have been pulled out.

The white jade steps lay under his feet, and Qin Yu counted them one by one. Every time he counted one, he could think of a person who had passed away. All of them made this place together, which is why the jade steps are so long.

"Meet Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long Live Long Live Long Live Your Majesty"

The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami startled the fat sparrow away, fled here, and rowed to the sky. Qin Yu was dazzled for a moment after chasing its figure.

On December 24th of the fifth year of Jianping, Qin Yu, the king of Jin, took over the mandate of heaven and succeeded him as the emperor.

Capital

Standing on the imperial steps, Xiao Fuzi glanced at the kneeling courtiers in the Hall of Eternal Life, and pulled away the imperial decree in a flash.

Emperor's Edict:

Since the first year of Yonghe, the war has not stopped. It is all because of the disaster of the kings. They are fighting each other, and the foundation of the ancestors is almost destroyed.

From today onwards, the feudal vassals will be abolished, all the fiefdoms of the kings will be transferred to the imperial court except for the land left by the kings, and the kings will no longer be able to support the army. Anyone who guards more than a thousand people will be punished for conspiracy and rebellion.

Strict party and government affairs, political affairs abandoned, I returned to the Shangshutai, with Zhao Zhiping as the Shangshuling, Zhao Chen Xue Fu rescued me in a crisis, led the prime minister and Shangshucheng to take care of confidential secrets, the king of Jia'an Township was the king of An, and he was in charge of the army. In the division, Shen Xuewen is the commander of Duzhi, Wang Zhongkang is the commander of the feudal clan, and Gu Lei is the order of criminal names.

The world school has been restored, and scholars are competing to enter Beijing. I am very pleased. I added Fan Wentian as a doctoral order, and Wang Ru as an imperial order, and selected scholars and recorded them based on the best.

Qian'an Zimo is the official censor, and Fan Xingyan is the censor Zhongcheng, who walks in the inner palace.

The kings are separated and the military system is chaotic. From now on, only five armies will be established. The northern general Wang Meng is in charge of the northern border army, Wei Xuancheng, Zhennan general Jiang Chengwen is in charge of the southern army, Wei Shengping city, Jin'an general An Ziqi is in charge of Jin'an Army, Wei Jianye, Funing General Wang Botai is in charge of the Funing Army, Wei Yuanan, Donghai General Su Qian is in charge of the East Navy, and Wei Donghai City.

Setting up the navy, General Min Ke supervised Yu Yongcheng

Withdraw Jianping Army, Beijing Army, Fenglin Army, set up Yong'an Army, He Yu is the General of Zuoying, Yue Hong is General of Youying, Yong'an Army guards Gyeonggi, and the Son of Heaven personally controls it.Li Han was moved to be the general of the Forbidden Army.

The law of compound equalization exempts the counties of Jiaozhou, Liang'an, Dongyang, Xinyang, Jinnan and Jingzhou from paying taxes.

The feudal vassals were abolished and counties were established, and the laws of the country were enforced in the villages. All the honors and honors of the counties in the counties shall not be above the national laws.

The vast territory of Yongjiang extends from Xuancheng in the north to Yidi in the south, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, if the law of the country is not good, then I will be ashamed of the common people in the world, and the princes should judge themselves.The national law is established immediately, from the clan to the common people, and those who violate it will be dealt with according to the law, regardless of personal relationship.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty"

Showa-dono

"Little Fuzi, ask Zhao Zhiping to come over," Qin Yu ordered as soon as he entered the door.

"Yes" Xiao Fuzi was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'd better wait for you to drink the medicine first."

"Drinking medicine again?" Qin Yu sat down and frowned at him.

Xiao Fuzi stood there respectfully without answering, Qin Yu twitched his eyebrows and said, "You call Zhiping, Yaozhen can drink it himself."

"...Yes" Xiao Fuzi hesitated for a moment before accepting the order.

As soon as Eunuch Fu left, the maid held the medicine bowl and delivered it to His Majesty the Emperor. Qin Yu moved his lips, pointed to the side and said, "Put it here."

The maid put down her things and retreated quietly. Qin Yu picked up the medicine bowl, glanced around the hall, raised his hand and poured the medicine into the magnolia flower pot beside him.

What to drink, drink medicine endlessly, do you think I am a medicine jar?

"See Your Majesty" Zhao Zhiping entered the door and saluted.

"Sit down." Zhao Zhiping sat down, Qin Yu looked at him, and said in a low voice, "Go and persuade Bei Zhengqing."

After Bei Zhengqing was escorted to the capital, Qin Yu gave orders not to treat him harshly. He still admires Mr. Bei's talent, and it is necessary to govern the world with such talent.

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Zhiping opened his mouth, and immediately gave up the "Imperial Minister's Order"

Qin Yu nodded, stood up and took two steps forward, turned his back to him and said, "If he can't surrender, I won't spare his life."

"I know." Zhao Zhiping saluted and retreated slowly.

After leaving the palace, Zhao Zhiping went directly to Bei Zhengqing's place. His Majesty did not treat Bei Zhengqing harshly, so Mr. Bei's residence was more like a paradise in the bustling capital.

The "Adult" guard opened the door and stood respectfully aside.

Zhao Zhiping glanced over and saw that Bei Zhengqing was standing on the porch waiting for him.

"Zhiping" Bei Zhengqing smiled elegantly "Don't come here without any problems"

Hehe...Zhao Zhiping stood in front of him and said, "Don't come here without any problems"

It snowed suddenly outside the courtyard, Bei Zhengqing sat opposite him outside the window, boiled a pot of tea with warm water, the aroma was wafting, Bei Zhengqing picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"Well... if it is surrounded by green bamboos, it will be even better."

"If that's the case, my words will spoil the scenery." Zhao Zhiping also picked up his teacup.

Hehe... Bei Zhengqing smiled lightly, poured another cup of tea, and looked at him, "Then don't talk about it"

"Your order cannot be violated"

"You are not as flexible as Xue Fu"

"Him?" Zhao Zhiping was puzzled.

Holding the teacup, Bei Zhengqing turned his head to look at the rustling snow in the courtyard, and replied, "He also came to persuade me by order, but he just played chess with me for a day and then left without saying a word."

Zhao Zhiping frowned, but said nothing.

"He knew he couldn't persuade me, so he didn't say anything." Bei Zhengqing looked at him and replied.

He didn't like Xue Fu, but he appreciated him a little after that day. Since he couldn't persuade him, a game of chess, a pot of tea, and chatting for comfort would be good.

Zhao Zhiping pursed his lips and looked at him seriously, while Bei Zhengqing smiled, still looking at Bai Xue outside the courtyard.

"Xue Fu is good at bewitching the king's heart, trying his best to find a way out. I always thought that he was vain and superficial, and he was keen on power, but I never thought that he could join King Jin. I admire King Jin for surrendering this person."

Without Xue Fu, King Jin would not be where he is today, but in such a desolate field, he really doesn't understand what King Jin used to make Xue Fu defect. I am afraid that no one in this world can do it except King Jin.

Ha ha... Zhao Zhiping laughed, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the destiny"

"I don't believe in destiny." Bei Zhengqing looked at him.

Sigh... Zhao Zhiping calmed down, and said solemnly to him, "The world is peaceful, there will be no more vassal kings, the state government will be implemented, the aristocratic clan can no longer monopolize official careers, and nobles can no longer override the laws of the country. Zhengqing, what we expected back then in Dongyang has come true."

"really?"

"certainly"

"Haha... I admit that His Majesty is the most talented person I have ever met, but..." Bei Zhengqing paused for a moment, a little reluctant to speak.

"You don't believe His Majesty?" Zhao Zhiping asked.

"I believe it, but...he has no successor," Bei Zhengqing finally said.

Zhao Zhiping was taken aback, Bei Zhengqing looked aside, with the worry he was familiar with.

"Since the separatism of the kings, there has been no war in any dynasty, and there has been no war without countless casualties. The reason why the country has not been subjugated until now is because the aristocratic family still has the ability to stabilize the hearts of the people, so the vassal kings have changed a lot, and the country has no great chaos. "

The aristocratic clan did control official careers and did harm the people, but they also stabilized this huge country, and now all this has been broken by one person. From today onwards, the aristocratic clan will slowly disappear, but the state affairs...

"Zhiping" Bei Zhengqing suddenly stood up and sighed, "This is not the state of Jin back then. This is a huge world. It will take one or even two generations of kings to completely change this world into what you and I imagined, Your Majesty." Firm, but what about his successor? Your Majesty favors King Anxiang, and the marriage between Marquis Xiang and King Anxiang is just another family retaliation, you know it all too well."

When the old and the new are changing, the state government is abandoned halfway, and that is the disaster of the country's subjugation. Zhao Zhiping slowly lowered his head, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

Bei Zhengqing looked ahead, and continued in a calm tone, "Zhiping, how many changes are ruined by no successors, and how many people can change the emperor's preference"

Emperor Jing's preference caused the disaster of King Liang, and Emperor Ming's preference caused the disaster of abolishing the emperor. Didn't the decades of wars start from the fact that Qin Zheng took a seat that he shouldn't be sitting in?

The snow in the courtyard was a little bit lighter, Zhao Zhiping came back from his contemplation, and squeezed his palms tightly, "I don't believe that His Majesty whom I am loyal to will be like this, Zhengqing, you should stay and see with me ten years later." Is the world we want to look like?"

"I don't want to stay." Bei Zhengqing turned his head and smiled warmly, "Zhiping, if King Zhao is sitting on the throne today, will you submit?"

Zhao Zhiping looked at him for a while, his eyes were stained with sadness, he turned around and said, "Let's play a game of chess."

Hehe... Bei Zhengqing smiled, turned around and sat down, and took out the chessboard.
