Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 301 Zen Position
"Father" in the lobby, Shi Congyun called dryly, father and uncle Xiang sat on the top seat, saw him come in, father still sat there, but Xiang Gong quietly got up and moved away.

This little move did not escape Shi Congyun's eyes, but no one said anything.

Dad is 45-[-] years old. He used to be the No. [-] general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now he is a bit rickety. His tall body is still mighty, but he is not as strong as before.

"I know everything about you, Wang Zhong told me." Shi Yanchao said.

"His bad mouth can't control things," Shi Congyun muttered dissatisfied.

"It's none of his business, someone forced him, with such a big commotion, you'll be blind and deaf like the whole capital." The old man said loudly.

Shi Congyun stepped forward, sat on the seat beside his father and explained that this was originally Xiang Gong's position, "Father, I have no way out now, at this point, if I step back, all the soldiers will not be able to retreat." Will agree, and we historians will never end well.

Besides, the merits of our historians are all here. How many powerful enemies in the world were defeated by our father and son, and how many powerful enemies were defeated by our father and son. nothing to say. "

"Hum!" The old man gave him a look, "You fought in the war, but at the beginning when Emperor Taizu (Guo Wei) promoted him, and when Taizu Huang Qi joined him, he made meritorious deeds from the dragon, no matter what, it's all kindness .”

But soon the voice softened, "You have been assertive since you were a child, and you are more capable than XX. XX and your mother have been wandering all their lives, and they have no great skills. The greatest kindness to you is to raise you, and everything else is you. the ability."

"Father, how could it be possible? The grace of giving birth is greater than the sky. Without you and my mother, I don't know where I am."

The old man didn't talk to him, and said directly: "I don't care about your affairs, you know better than me, you must have a reason for what you want to do, and I don't have much talent except for fighting.

But Dad has one thing to ask you. "

"Father, if you have something to say, you can ask for anything." Shi Congyun said repeatedly.

The old man is very serious: "Guo Zongxun in the palace is the grandson of Taizu's lineage, not blood relatives, but also Guo family members, don't kill him, leave blood for the late emperor, as you can arrange him any way you want."

Shi Congyun nodded and knelt in front of his father: "Father, I swear in front of you that I will never kill him and let the Guo family's blood continue."

The old man let out a long breath, nodded and said: "That's the only thing about seeing you when I go out of the city, other things have nothing to do with me, so I'm leaving."

"My son will send you off!" Shi Congyun also heaved a sigh of relief, his father didn't mean to kill his relatives righteously, so he got up and patted the ashes to send his father back.

"No, you have to be busy with other things." The old man said before going out.

When he was sending his father out, Xiang Gong next to him hesitated to speak.

The old man said, "You have something to do with uncle, let him stay by your side and help you."

Shi Congyun nodded, and immediately understood why Xiang Gong followed his father. It turned out that he followed his father's footsteps and wanted to gain credit for his contribution.

The wind and sand circled south of the Yellow River in the midst of the summer wind, soaring up thousands of feet, swaying the sky, unrestrained.

The summer wind has a wild atmosphere inside and out. On the [-]th day and night, in the anxiety of howling night wind blowing across Henan, Shi Congyun finally waited for the messenger from the north of the Yellow River to arrive in Guanbei. Murong Yanzhao and Li Hanchao are in control of the news.

Murong Yanzhao said in the letter that they encountered a small group of Khitan rangers raiding the border, so they were delayed for some time.

Shi Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fell asleep peacefully without fear of the night wind.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, the surroundings were quiet, and there were no little yellow flowers. Shi Congyun was a little unaccustomed to it. After he got up, he put on thick clothes and sat at the table waiting nervously.

No matter how well-planned such a major event is, it will still be extremely tense when it comes to an end.

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, it took him a while to realize that he might have woken up early, so he fell asleep on the table in a daze.

Until he was awakened by the sound of desolate horns in the camp, he opened his eyes in a daze, and the rising sun had already shone in through the crack of the door. He woke up suddenly, and heard footsteps outside the courtyard, and the sound of horns from all directions could be faintly heard in the distance. .

Shi Congyun immediately understood that there was already something going on outside, and he became nervous when the matter came to an end.

He suppressed his curiosity not to go out, but waited quietly inside.

After so many years of hard work, Shi Congyun, although he is in his early twenties, has long been an old fox in his heart. He knows that the drama of wearing a yellow robe is not a simple act, but also an invisible political game.

Even if Shi Congyun pretended, petitioned, or was unwilling, he had to show that I didn't want to do it, and the soldiers pushed me up.

In this way, he can get rid of some moral burdens, but this is not the most important thing. Moral criticism cannot prevent him from winning power, and there are too many uglier things in history than this.

The most important thing is to restrain the army!
At this point, the imperial power is not an obstacle at all, nor is morality, the army is.

The imperial power is illusory, but the army is real, so there is no need to consider the affairs of the current emperor, but how to bargain with the army.

Shi Congyun highlighted that one of them was forced by the army.

In this way, credit still needs to be rewarded, but in turn, you can also negotiate conditions with the army, because many people, whether it is middle-level and high-level generals or low-level soldiers, look forward to him taking the position, and you forced me to do it.

If he directly enters the palace, let the current officials take the throne, and do things in a practical way, it will naturally be easy to do, but the political initiative is immediately out of his hands.

Once things come to fruition, it is not the army begging him, but he has to ask the army for support in turn, otherwise the emperor will not be able to sit still!
If so, it will be a big trouble.

At that time, the army will have to give what it wants, and what the arrogant soldiers of the Five Dynasties will do best is to subdue their superiors and hold their superiors hostage.

What if I can't give it?It's very simple, just like when Taizu Huang Qi of the Zhou Dynasty joined him, he allowed the army to plunder the people of Kaifeng by itself.

This kind of political game seems casual, but the consequences are completely different, and even different from each other.

In today's era, the army is everything, and the most important thing is to deal with the army, not the tool people in the palace, the queen regent and the useless little emperor.

So even though Shi Congyun was thumping with nervousness, he still pretended not to know anything, held back his curiosity, did not look at the situation outside, and let the horns blare, the drums beating densely, and the footsteps of a large number of troops gathering. , the war horse neighing intertwined, or pretending to be asleep, I don't know.

It wasn't until Meng Xuanzhe came to invite him, saying that the generals and officials begged to see him, that he took his sword and went out with Meng Xuanzhe.

As a result, as soon as he left the gate of the Chinese Army compound, many generals and officials flocked up one after another. Wang Quanbin put a yellow robe on him from the side, and then they walked forward surrounded by him.

When the matter came to an end, Shi Congyun didn't feel nervous for a moment, as if he had returned to the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses were displayed in front of him, calm and motionless.

Without even thinking about it, she immediately "panicked" instinctively, half-pushed and walked forward, while panicking like a little girl being molested: "What are you going to do, what are you going to do!
What do you mean by wearing this thing on me!
This king is a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a loyal minister of the official family, you are rebellious. Let me go! "

The crowd would not answer him, they just surrounded him several layers inside and outside, and walked towards the center of the camp. The banners in the Peking camp were half-rolled, densely formed into a forest, lined up with strongholds filled with wilderness, crowded with people, a large number of soldiers lined up on both sides, and surrounded him. Surrounded by them.

There are more than [-] forbidden troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many of them have been sent by him to Guanbei, Heyang, Guanzhong, Huainan and other places to prevent accidents. Now there are more than [-] people in the battalions near Bianliang, and almost all of them are gathered in the Beidaying today. inside and outside.

They lined up neatly and couldn't see the side at a glance. There were banners and figures everywhere. Shi Congyun half pushed halfway and was surrounded by the crowd and walked forward, while listening to overwhelming shouts from all sides, "Long live! Long live! Long live King Qin."

The sound resounded through the wilderness for a long time, buzzing and exploding in the ears.

After a while, the crowd finally arrived in front of the general's platform of the Chinese army. They surrounded him and walked up to the high platform.

He saw soldiers lined up outside the walls of the camp, and many even lay on the wall and looked towards him.

He has led the army for many years and has commanded an army of 10,000+, but this is the first time that more than 8 people have gathered in one place, and it is much larger than the scale of the war with Liao.

There were soldiers and flags in all directions, even the riverside, which was blocked from sight by a high wall in the distance, and there were figures everywhere on the outer wall a mile away.

Seeing so many people, so many soldiers staring at him, even if Shi Congyun didn't act, he couldn't help but his heart was surging, his blood was surging, and he couldn't help but tie the ties and put on the yellow robe.

Wang Quanbin and other generals knelt in front of him and said loudly: "Commander, this is also what the soldiers and the people of the world want! Please don't shirk, Commander!
For so many years, the commander-in-chief has led us to conquer the east and west, expand the territory, defend the family and the country, and demonstrate our virtues!
The people all over the world can live and work in peace and contentment, and the barbarians of foreign races dare not go south to spy on the Central Plains, it is all thanks to the commander in chief.

Those who protect the country and appease the people are the emperors, these things are done by the commander, and the commander is the emperor! "

Wang Quanbin said a long section of what Li Gu and others probably taught him. There are too many soldiers, and people in the distance may not be able to hear what they say, but it is not in the way, because Shen Zhiyi and others have already led the soldiers to talk Hooray.

As soon as the sound spread, tens of thousands of people shouted excitedly, like a turbulent wave, layer upon layer, and the loud and clear sound waves came one after another, making Shi Congyun on the stage feel the surge of the sound waves.

"Long live! Long live!."

The ups and downs of voices lasted for a long time, Shi Congyun suppressed the excitement in the center, and even raised his hand to silence everyone. After a while, after all the voices subsided, he said loudly: "You are a loyal minister of the government, you Don't force me like this!

So far, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I can't clean up, so I can only follow you.

You want someone to be the emperor, and someone agrees, but since you respect me as the emperor, you must listen to me!
Today, no matter what, the army is not allowed to enter the city, not to harm people, not to plunder the people to violate military discipline, otherwise I will die! "

Shi Congyun's voice was so loud that many people could hear it clearly.

All the generals and soldiers promised in one voice, and the voices were noisy for a while.

At this moment, Liu Qingchuan, who was the most astute, knelt down and said: "I will obey the official order!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Gu, Wang Quanbin and others also knelt down one after another, and said loudly: "I would like to abide by the imperial edict!"

Afterwards, many soldiers also knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I will obey the imperial edict!"

The soldiers behind were too far away to know what was going on, but when they saw the people in front kneeling, they knelt down too, and then shouted.

In the morning of that day, Shi Congyun couldn't figure out what was going on outside, and didn't know what was going on outside. He only knew that he got into a luxurious carriage and was surrounded by a large number of cavalry. He entered Daliang Outer City from the north city bridge gate. Then go through Anyuan Gate and enter Daliang Inner City.

There are many government offices entering through the north gate, so there are not many people in the outer city, but many people came to watch when they knew what was going on outside the city. It's just that the yamen servants of Kaifeng mansion and the soldiers of the inner palace were standing on both sides of the avenue under the leadership of Wang Zhong. open circuit.

Surrounded by many civil and military personnel, Shi Congyun entered Daliang City without hindrance under the escort of the well-equipped fine cavalry led by Shao Ji, and then went east to bypass the Sifu Yamen in front of the hall, and went from Maxing Street to Donghuamen.

Many officials in front of the palace on the road were not surprised at all, but waited in a team on the side of the road, and shouted "Welcome to the official family" as soon as he passed by.

It seems that Li Gu, Wang Zhong, Luqiu Zhongqing and others have done more work in the city than he thought.

Soon, Shao Ji escorted him into the imperial city from the Donghua Gate, and Fu Zhaoyuan brought his east and west squads to wait for the imperial city guards to open the east gate of the imperial city, greeted him by the side of the avenue, and then joined their ranks.

The crowd walked eastward for about a mile, and the maids and eunuchs along the way were so frightened that they gave way one after another, and soon arrived in front of the Chui Gong Hall.

Today is the [-]th day, and it is still the Asahi, so such a big commotion cannot be concealed from all the officials in the Chui Gong Hall, so when Shi Congyun got off the car in front of the Chui Gong Hall, and arrived in front of the Chui Gong Hall surrounded by the crowd, many officials had already stood there. Looking at him from above and the many civil and military soldiers behind him.

This time was different from last time, Liu Qingchuan stepped forward and drew out the horizontal knife at his waist, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the three armies are of one heart and one mind, and now we support King Qin as the emperor, whoever refuses to stand up, I will chop off his dog's head!"

All the courtiers were frightened at once, and they all knelt down and shouted long live.

In the end, only Fan Zhi and Wang Zhu were still standing there stubbornly, but neither of them dared to speak. Wang Zhu had scolded him before, but this time he dared not speak either.

Shi Congyun walked up the steps step by step, followed by civil and military men and armored soldiers, looking menacing.

Seeing that he was about to come, Fan Zhi finally resisted, knelt down and said: "Long live the official family."

Shi Congyun nodded in satisfaction, looked sharply at Wang Zhu, and Wang Zhu also bowed down: "Long live the official family."

Shi Congyun was very satisfied, but he was inexperienced, so he could only imitate the way the officials used to say: "All loves, get up and follow me into the palace to talk."

Baiguan hurriedly got up and followed him into the main hall, only the nervous and panicked Empress Fu and the bewildered Guo Zongxun were isolated on the other side.

Seeing the Empress Dowager and Guo Zongxun, Shi Congyun said helplessly: "Oh, Empress Dowager, there is a lesson to be learned from a certain loyalty. I didn't want to be like this at first. It was the soldiers who forced me!"

The queen mother would not believe his nonsense, and even said: "Since this is the case, it is also destiny, and it is not the king of Qin's fault." Then she pulled the little emperor who didn't know much about the situation from the throne above, walked up to him and bowed down.

Shi Congyun stretched out his hand, took Empress Dowager Fu's little hand to help their mother and child up, and said: "Don't worry, I guarantee that you will be fine."

At this point, there is nothing to reverse. In fact, the palace has no possibility of resistance after the army is dealt with, but embarrassing things will happen immediately.

When the matter was settled, there was no objection from civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. Meng Xuanzhe stepped forward cleverly and said that he would like to take the throne of Zen today.

The panicked queen mother and Guo Zongxun, who was so frightened, nodded quickly. The army behind them was already blocking the entrance of the main hall.

But in a hurry, everyone did not prepare the edict for the Zen position.

At this time, two ministers hurriedly stood up next to him. The emperor Tao Gu and the Hanlin scholar Lu Duoxun all pulled into their sleeves and unanimously took out a written edict of the Zen position and handed it up with both hands, and then Suddenly froze, looked at each other.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while, even Shi Congyun's old face was so hot and painful by them.
