Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Big news!
Empress Dowager Shengde and Prince Rui rebelled.

Teng Anguo, deputy commander of the Bingmasi, and Zheng Jun, commander of the Imperial Guards, deceived the emperor and did not even appreciate the great favor from Your Majesty and conspired with him.

The late emperor's empress, Empress Dowager Sheng'an, and two princes all unfortunately died in the chaos of war last night.

Fortunately, Liang Han and other generals fought desperately to save Rong Fei and her son. Since Rong Fei was the blood of the previous emperor, he was made the new emperor, and Rong Fei became the empress dowager.

When one’s mind is calm, everything will be kept simple.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the Five Military Commanderies Office to be changed into the Grand Commanderies Office, and promoted Liang Han to be the Grand Commander and concurrent Minister of War. For his contribution in suppressing the rebellion and supporting the enthronement, he was temporarily conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and was given the title of Right Pillar of the State, in charge of all matters related to suppressing the rebellion and military and national affairs.

In addition, Liang Ernainai's father was appointed as the new Minister of Revenue, and was conferred the title of Grand Secretary and served as the Second Assistant.

Tian Wenqing, the former editor of the Hanlin Academy, was also promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and entered the cabinet to assist in government affairs, while the former Shangshu was suspended pending trial.

Mr. Wu, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, was rewarded for his loyalty and was given the title of Duke of Jing.

The rest of the meritorious soldiers also received generous rewards, so there is no need to elaborate on them.

The world is in an uproar!

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows what Chen Tao did!
Living Cao Cao, when did he come?

Even some female relatives who had little interest in the coup could not help but inquire about Yuanyuan's heroic deeds.

Yuanyuan shot Teng Anguo with one arrow, and knocked down King Rui with another arrow. This woman is really the goddess of war, the goddess of the sky! They were both born in a brothel. In the previous dynasty, Lady Liuli saved her husband with the fire bull formation. Although she was both wise and brave, she was not as good as her husband!
In the world of female-oriented novels, these must be described with emphasis, and boring military and national affairs will only be mentioned in passing.

For example, the Zheng family where Minglan's best friend Xiao Shen lives, the Qiguo Mansion where her white moonlight Qi Heng lives, and Uncle Shen's family, all of them have been executed.

what?
You said that Uncle Shen's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was born in the Duke of Yingzhou's mansion. If this is done, is it possible to force the Duke of Yingzhou, who is still leading troops to fight outside, to rebel?

Bullshit!

What does it mean to obey your husband after marriage?
The Duke of England is a fence-sitter. He has Chen Tao's good friend Gu Er by his side. How dare he cause trouble? It's nothing more than the death of his daughter and grandson. It doesn't matter! As long as he can keep his wealth and glory, kneeling down is nothing!
While Gu Er was confused, he also realized Chen Tao's thoughts, and even planned to persuade Duke Ying to join him in helping Chen Tao wipe out the lineage of Empress Dowager Shengde in the Northwest.

He has no way out.

Because many people knew that he had a good relationship with Chen Tao, and he often invited Chen Tao to his house to stay with singing girls!

General Bo and his trusted generals Fu and Gan led the Central Army, and there was no movement! They were all experienced and would not act rashly!

Faced with the situation where Chen Tao is now acting on behalf of the emperor to punish the disobedient, only Shen Guojiu and other confidants in the emperor's secret residence have to fight when they have no way to retreat.

There is really no way out.

Chen Tao needs an enemy to demonstrate his military power and intimidate others!
Therefore, he ordered the central and northern armies to turn their guns around on the spot and wipe out the remnants of Empress Dowager Shengde and the rebel king in the northwest.

He also clearly told the world to transfer Shen Guojiu and others back to the capital for trial, openly forcing him to rebel, and it would be best for him to rebel and bring the remnants of the rebel king and the Jie slaves to die.

Of course, this takes time.

Chen Tao also needs time. He needs to gather 3,000 elite cavalry as the backbone force to follow him in battle.

Three thousand people are enough!
Back then, Li Er defeated the two kings in one battle with 3,000 Black Armored Army. Although Chen Tao was not talented, he was willing to give it a try.

At the same time, we also rectified internal affairs.

Yao Ge Lao, a loyal minister to the emperor, had been imprisoned for failing to investigate the rebellion and for his family's collusion with Empress Dowager Shengde and others.

Shilin had no objection to this.

Who made him a die-hard fan of the emperor? That alone is enough to make him die.

The retired Lord Zou, who loved to play dumb and smooth things over, was re-employed into the cabinet to serve as a wartime prime minister and a rubber stamp.

This day.

The gates of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion were wide open to welcome the emperor's edict.

Yuanyuan was dressed in gorgeous armor and with a stern face, she spread out the imperial edict and read it to everyone as if she was performing a drama.

When she finished reading, Liang Da excitedly knelt forward to receive the decree and said loudly:
"Your Majesty has trusted me so much that I cannot repay you even a little bit even if I die! Long live the emperor!"

Brothers fighting?

If Chen Tao didn't think that it was Grandma Liang who was instructed by him and the problem was not serious, he should have learned from Emperor Wen of Han who ruthlessly killed his wife and four sons before taking the throne!

Compared with eventually becoming a king, what does killing one's wife or son to prove one's truth mean?
Liang Da, the newly appointed Governor-General of Liangjiang, immediately set off and rushed to the south with the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Chen Wensheng to appease a group of dignitaries and large landowners and gentry, and express Chen Tao's willingness to cooperate with them.

Anyway, just make all kinds of promises first, and after you have firmly established your throne, you can think of ways to do things like "giving up military power over a cup of wine", or "we will drink from the golden cup together" or "we will not spare each other even if we fight with swords".

After the decree was announced, Yuanyuan was invited to sit in the main seat in the Mingtang. Madam Liang and her female relatives surrounded her and asked her about what had happened. They especially wanted to hear about her heroic story of conquering the country with two arrows!

Yuanyuan was chatting and laughing. While dealing with these people, she was also reminding them to be careful about the door and not do anything that would displease Marquis Zhongyong.

Molan boldly asked:
"When will the Lord come to pick us up?"

The atmosphere suddenly became suffocated and the air seemed to become heavy.

Yuanyuan didn't look at her, but glanced at Minglan and smiled, "The Marquis has missed you a lot recently, but the new Marquis's Mansion has not been renovated yet, and he is very busy, always dealing with various government affairs. Be patient! He will not forget you!"

Molan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

The same goes for Minglan.

Some things don't need to be said, the two of them can guess it.

Mrs. Liang ignored all this and asked with a gossipy look on her face, "How come the Duke of Qi's Mansion was also involved in the rebellion?"

Why bother to accuse someone?

Yuanyuan complained in her heart, then looked at the heroine Minglan and said seriously, "The Duke of Qi's Mansion is indeed rebellious! Princess Pingning has always been arrogant and lawless, secretly communicating with the Empress Dowager Shengde and Prince Rui, and plotting. She often beats the servants in the family to death. A few days ago, a family servant reported it, and it was found to be true. The Marquis is loyal and can be seen by the sun and the moon. Even if he remembers that Qi Heng had an old relationship with Minglan, it is difficult to show favoritism, so he asked the Queen Mother to punish him and execute the whole family. The Marquis dare not accept the Prince Rui's mansion as his mansion, but accept this Duke of Qi's Mansion."

Obviously, Yuanyuan had listened to Chen Tao's explanation of the original novel in the past few days, so she deliberately said this in front of Minglan, wanting to see if she was as selfish and heartless as Chen Tao said.

And what Chen Tao said was true. Minglan looked normal and didn't react at all.

Madam Liang looked at Minglan and asked, "Do you still have a past with Qi Heng?"

Minglan nodded and said, "Master Qi once studied at my house, and we sisters all know each other by name."

Molan continued: "There is nothing between Qi Heng and me."

Shut the fuck up!

At this time, you are still rebelling against me?

Minglan is really in a difficult situation.

Madam Liang smiled, held Yuanyuan's right hand again, and gossiped, "What's going on with the Gu family? Isn't Gu Er Han'er's best friend? Why is their family going to rebel this time?"

Yuanyuan recounted all the situations of the Gu family in the book and concluded:
"So Xiao Qinshi and Gu Tingwei didn't really want to rebel, they just wanted to join forces with the bandits to kill General Gu's family. But opening the city gate and letting these rebels in is the same as treason, so they will also be sentenced to death. Only Man Niang will have to wait until General Gu comes back and let him deal with her."

Mrs. Liang sighed and said, "From the royal family to the common people, family discord will always cause endless harm!" It was obvious that she was speaking from the heart.

Then he continued to praise: "When I saw you following Han'er, practicing martial arts and archery, I thought you two were just joking! I didn't expect that during this palace coup, you would be able to follow him on horseback with a gun to quell the rebellion, and even shot two bandit leaders with your powerful arrows. When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it. My dear! Han'er is where he is today, thanks to your encouragement."

Young couple? Sweetheart?

Molan's expression darkened.

Minglan doesn't care.

The position of queen would not have been hers even if Yuanyuan hadn't interfered.

Even though Molan couldn't get promoted, she felt happy. She wasn't afraid of her sister's hardship, but she was afraid of her sister driving a Land Rover.

Indeed, many people inside and outside the country were discussing the candidate for the queen. After all, Chen Tao's style was basically the same as that of Cao Cao, Yang Jian, and Zhao Kuangyin.

Either he goes up or he will die without a burial place. Everything depends on whether he can withstand the counterattack.

***
mid-July.

The pseudo-rebel Weibei Hou Shen Congxing and others raised the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials, and brought with them 200,000 cavalry and infantry soldiers under their former command, as well as the remnants of Empress Dowager Shengde and the rebellious King Rui, and the Jie Nu Zuoguli King and his son, a coalition force of 500,000. After breaking through Juyongguan, they rushed to the capital.

The people in the capital are uneasy.

Chen Tao left Ma Guodong and Tian Wenqing to defend the city, and personally led 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry out of the city to face the powerful enemy.

That night, the moon was high in the sky.

Chen Tao had already conducted reconnaissance in advance and launched a sneak attack, leading 4,000 cavalrymen and charging straight into the enemy's main camp.

Although Shen Congxing and others were prepared, he still killed hundreds of armored soldiers in a short period of time and broke through the central army formation. It was like the reincarnation of the Overlord. They were completely unstoppable and collapsed at the first blow.

After dispersing Shen Congxing's troops, Chen Tao rode non-stop, went around the flank of the Jie Nu, and fought against the brave and warlike Ma Guoliang from the east and west, and actually captured the King of Zuo Guli and his son in one battle!

He did this obviously not afraid of Shen Congxing organizing a counterattack.

After all, few people in history could organize a counterattack after letting the sheep go, let alone at this time of night? Not to make a camp roar is considered to be a good way to manage the army.

The killing did not end until the evening of the next day.

Chen Tao defeated 200,000 troops with only 20,000 men, defeated the remnants of the rebel king, and captured the chieftain of the captives!
The world is shocked!

Liang Da's comfort work suddenly became extremely smooth.

My cheap grandfather's house was instantly crowded with people.

Because of his great achievements, Chen Tao was promoted to King of Han and was given a title and appointment, so that people would not misunderstand that he was a loyal minister and would not dare to follow the emperor boldly.

At the same time, he married Zheng Yuan as his queen, and Erlan, Chunge and his three daughters were all concubines.

August fifteen.

Because Chen Tao won a great victory last month, the people can rest easy and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

After consulting her mother-in-law, Yuanyuan held a moon-viewing banquet in her mansion and invited the women of Yongchang Marquis's mansion and other families to attend.

The mourning period for my father-in-law hasn't ended yet, so there's no need to organize any entertainment activities, such as inviting a troupe to perform at the house. It can just be a simple dinner and a way to keep in touch.

Grandma Liang didn't come tonight, not because she didn't want to, but because she had already gone south with her husband and couldn't come even if she wanted to.

In fact, she now wanted to lick Mrs. Liang's shoes!

Mrs. Liang and the women from her natal family, that is, the family of the new Minister of Revenue, all attended the event in their best attire.

Naturally, Grandma Liang San also brought some people with her.

In addition, there are the women from Chen Tao’s trusted families, as well as the women from the Sheng family, headed by Aunt Lin.

That's right.

Aunt Lin, who relied on her daughter's status as a mother, returned to her loyal home where she had lived for many years, with her fat body like a bucket, which made the old and naive Sheng Hong feel uncomfortable.

No matter how much Sheng Hong hated her, he had to accept it and took the initiative to correct her.

Aunt Lin accepted it with pleasure and had no intention of leaving the Sheng family.

How could she just let go of all the suffering she had endured over the past few years? Wang had made her into such a fat pig, so how could she easily let go of Wang's two daughters, son, daughter-in-law, and even Wang's family? She wanted revenge!
If Molan cannot become the queen, she will be the new emperor's favorite concubine.

Minglan has to call her mom too!
Therefore, she will soon be the mother-in-law of the new emperor, and since she has done no harm to the old lady, she will definitely be given an imperial title!

Since she has such a support, how can she not control these people from the Sheng family?

Of course, she is not stupid and would not cause trouble openly so as not to bring trouble to her good son-in-law.

The habit of swearing that she had developed over the past few years had changed as her status improved. She had become the elegantly-spoken and talented woman she used to be. Her appearance and figure had indeed deteriorated a little, but her temperament was still there.

And even though she didn't have an attack, it was even more frightening.

Changbai's wives, sisters Hai, Hualan and Rulan, and her own son Changfeng's wife Liu, were actually already trembling with fear.

Hai and Liu are from high-class families? In Aunt Lin's eyes, they are just stray dogs now.

The Yuan and Wen families wanted to take Hualan and Rulan back again? Did Sheng Hong agree? She hadn't agreed yet! What right did this unfaithful red wolf have to make the decision in the Sheng family now?
The old lady was also concentrating on chanting Buddha's name and no one dared to meddle in her affairs.

She wouldn't pay any attention to the old lady either.

How could an old and pious woman who didn't even have an imperial decree and could only use her status as the only daughter of a marquisate to argue and refused to support her and Molan be qualified to teach her how to do things? Eat shit!

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner has begun.

Mrs. Liang's face was flushed, and she was about to give a speech before the meal, when suddenly classmate Xiaoman ran in breathlessly, shouting:
"That dog emperor laid an ambush and wanted to kill the prince, but was defeated by the prince. Now, all the elders, the ministers of the six ministries, and generals such as Ma Wei have already supported the prince to ascend the throne in the Huangji Palace!"

Does the emperor have an ambush? If so.

The whole audience was silent for a moment.

Then Aunt Lin bowed first and said loudly and excitedly:
"Long live the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother!"

Yuanyuan reacted and was about to kneel down to pay her respects, but Mrs. Liang hugged her in her arms.

The three concubines, Molan, Minglan and Chunge, led the crowd and knelt down to pay their respects to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Sisters Hualan and Rulan, as well as their sisters-in-law Hai and Liu, were all confused at the moment, kneeling or standing with the crowd.

It was not until the Queen Mother finished her speech and the Empress gave the order to start the meal that they realized their backs were covered in cold sweat.

Aunt Lin smiled and talked, using all her efforts to please the queen mother, who did not like her at all, and also made the queen nod her head frequently. Imperial Concubine Molan was even more filial to her mother, and when the affection reached a deep level, the mother and daughter even hugged each other and cried bitterly, which was very touching.

Hualan and other girls just felt their scalps tingling!
What is a turn of events?
That's it.
