Chapter 155 The Empress Dowager Who Died for the Country (34)
The thing of usurping the throne is familiar once, and Lin Zhen has usurped the throne once, so he is very proficient this time.

During these days of preparing for the enthronement ceremony, she properly arranged the matters after the enthronement ceremony, ensuring that there would be no accidents at the enthronement ceremony - such as having a long talk with Jiang Xing, asking Jiang He to come out for tea or something.

Except for the two people who were talking, no one knew what they said. They only knew that Jiang Xing and Jiang Xi didn't seem to be in a good mood, but Lin Zhen didn't care about it, and even said that if they messed up again, he would beat them up. pause.

In short, after the two of them finished talking with Lin Zhen, they calmed down visibly and honestly with the naked eye. None have been out.

In this way, amidst the anticipation and tension of everyone, Jiang Wei's enthronement ceremony finally ushered in.

Jiang Xing, who was about to abdicate, had "happy" written all over his face. He looked at Lin Zhen, who was wearing the imperial crown and dragon robe, and gritted his teeth: "Pingning, I will hand over this world to you. You want Work hard, don't let me down for all my painstaking efforts..."

Lin Zhen took the jade seal from Jiang Xing's hand, put it on the tray held by the ceremony officer behind him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Jiang Xing was not worried at all.But now that he is too emperor, he can only watch Lin Zhen finish offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and the ancestral temple according to the procedure, and then return to the Golden Luan Hall to receive the worship of all officials.

Loud and uniform shouts came from inside and outside the Golden Luan Hall: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this point, everything in the court has finally been settled. No matter how unwilling Jiang Xing is, he can only make mistakes and be a mascot in the deep palace.

The first thing Lin Zhen did after he took the throne was to clean up the mess left by Jiang Xing—the courtiers who were killed because of their speeches, sent people to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and if they were wronged, they would be rehabilitated immediately. Announce the world.

But Jiang Xing usually ransacked his family and wiped out his family as soon as he came up, even three-year-old children, so even if they were rehabilitated, there was no way to make compensation. They could only restore their reputation and try to find the bones for a good burial.

The officials in charge of investigating this matter have been busy for many days, investigating one by one according to the list of Jiang Xing's copied and beheaded people, and they have been busy for many days before basically finishing the matter.

When the results of the rehabilitation came out, not only those who were implicated in this matter, but even the officials in the court who had watched their colleagues suffer innocently couldn't help crying: Jiang Xing is such a cowardly and cruel monarch, it's okay to say nothing. Copying and beheading all the courtiers for no reason, how can people not feel the sadness of the death of the rabbit?Being able to rehabilitate them now can be regarded as a little comforting in people's hearts... Alas, if Jiang Xing abdicated earlier, it would be great if he was replaced by His Majesty today, and it wouldn't be like that...

In short, compared with Lin Zhen, Jiang Xing, who was already very hip, looked even more disgusting. Fortunately, he is not showing up in front of everyone now, otherwise someone might not be able to resist throwing rotten eggs at him.

After this matter was dealt with, news came from the border. According to Li Mo’s secret work in the Xiongnu before, the Xiongnu Khan was seriously ill, and the Khan’s sons at the Golden Tent Court were arguing for the position of heir. Can't be handed over.

After Lin Zhen received this urgent letter from thousands of miles away, he told the civil and military officials the news the next morning: "What's your opinion?"

Everyone digested the shocking news, and there was a lot of discussion: "This change in the royal court of the Huns must have no intention of caring about it. I can seize the opportunity to regain my homeland!"

"I'm afraid the Xiongnu had already prepared for it, and the attack will not be easy..."

"How can you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? I think it's time to send troops!"

……

Lin Zhen looked at the people in the hall who were discussing in full swing, and couldn't help smiling slightly, looking around to observe every official.

Everyone blushed and argued fiercely for about a quarter of an hour. They found that Lin Zhen who was sitting on the dragon chair had not made a sound. Then they carefully raised their eyes and found that the other party was watching them discussing with a smile on their faces. Voice.

There was only one general in a daze who hadn't figured out the situation. He was arguing with the person next to him, and then he saw the other person turned around and stopped talking, a little confused: "Hey, you haven't finished talking yet, why don't you?" said?"

Everyone cast their gazes on this dazed, stupefied young man.

Lin Zhen put down the pendant in his hand that made a "cracking" sound, and recalled this unfamiliar face: "Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Tong?"

Only then did the man realize what had happened, he cupped his hands and said, "The minister is here."

Lin Zhen looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Sun Shilang, what do you think about this matter? Let's hear it."

Sun Tong heard what Lin Zhen said, thought for a while, and then expressed his own thoughts: "I think that the many battles in the royal court of the Xiongnu will inevitably affect the deployment of troops in various places to fight abroad. Lost ground, now is the most suitable time!"

"Haha, good!" Lin Zhen patted the table under his hands, and said, "Sun Shilang is right. I just want to take this opportunity to march in and recover the lost land. Since Sun Shilang said so, how dare he lead an army to recover Liaodong what?"

Sun Tong didn't expect this to happen at all, he was overjoyed, and responded with a vibrating voice: "Thanks to His Majesty's trust, dare not obey orders!"

Lin Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "I'm waiting for the good news that you will recover Liaodong."

After the arrangements were made on the Liaodong side, Lin Zhen had already been selected on the northwest side. She called by name and said, "Li Mo!"

Li Mo came out in response: "The minister is here."

Lin Zhen ordered in a deep voice: "Qing can immediately lead his troops back to the border to pursue the Xiongnu. I will entrust you with the full power of the northwest."

"Yes. The minister takes orders."

Many preparations before the war cannot be resolved in a day or two. After the generals are arranged, the army must be allocated to prepare food, weapons, horses, etc. These things also have to keep the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household busy for a while.

Before Li Mo led his troops to leave the capital, Lin Zhen summoned him to meet him in the Imperial Study Room, and told him, "General Li, after returning to the border, you can send someone to escort Hu Erqi back to Mobei Golden Tent Royal Court."

Li Mo immediately understood what she meant: "Let him go back, so that the royal court of the Huns will fight more fiercely?"

"Well." Lin Zhen nodded and said, "Kurqi has been captured for so long, and the Khan's sons must have criticized him, but he has been in business for many years and is a legitimate heir. Both sides have their own advantages. When the time comes to fight, the scene will be lively."

This is the conspiracy before the Huns.Chu Erqi knew that he was sent back to provoke disputes, but could he be willing not to fight?His other brothers naturally understood, but are they willing to let Kulqi go so lightly for the sake of the overall situation?
Both sides will not give up, they can only fight to the death first.

It's perfect.
