On the day of Fuling, the weather was as cold as ever.
Between the heaven and the earth, there is a lot of chaos, and the cold wind blows the white curtains and white flags. The coffin of the late emperor is very extravagant. It is decorated with gold and silver jewelry and tied with white silk and satin. Well-crafted artwork.
Jiang Pengji, wearing a large and neat court dress, watched the funeral proceed in an orderly manner with indifference.
The treasury is empty, and the debts owe an ass. Many officials say that everything should be kept simple, but traces of extravagance can be seen everywhere.
Apart from the fake sobbing, the cold wind blowing flags and hunting, the footsteps of the crowd and the sniffing of horses, there was no other sound around. Jiang Pengji followed the command of the master of ceremonies and mixed among the courtiers, with an indifferent expression like a delicate porcelain doll.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, she is multi-tasking and watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.
The funeral of an emperor, even in an extraordinary period, is of great significance to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Listening to the audience's conversation, it seems that the funeral was specially broadcast by the TV station.
Jiang Pengji watched her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, passed the time by the barrage in the live broadcast room, and occasionally said a few words.
Delivering the emperor's coffin to the temple, just as the last few steps were going on, Jiang Pengji noticed the movement of horseshoes running in the distance.
She moved her gaze outside secretly, and vaguely saw a soldier in armor hurriedly dismounting, holding a bamboo slip in his hand.
problem occurs
Jiang Pengji was frowning, and the movement of the messenger was discovered by others. The funeral master was the royal family Zongzheng, and his face suddenly sank.
The surrounding officials whispered and discussed a lot, but Jiang Pengji calmed down and listened to the conversation between the messenger and Zongzheng.
"What - King Changshou is sacrificing to the heaven outside Chenzhou today to enthrone? Proclaiming himself emperor?"
The faces of many courtiers turned black and turned into ashes. King Changshou did this on purpose
He chose to be the first seven of the first emperor, the day when the coffin died and was sacrificed to the heavens and proclaimed the emperor
It's obvious that it's going to hit people in the face!
"... how should we deal with it now?"
No one would have thought that King Changshou would be so courageous and directly proclaimed emperor.
"How else? Naturally, I want to find a way to stabilize people's hearts, and then integrate troops and horses to crusade against traitors."
"...But, if we use troops, I'm afraid it's not the enemy of King Changshou and the Meng clan of Cangzhou..."
"King Qin's allies have more than 400,000 troops, why can't they clean up the thieves like King Changshou?" An old minister didn't care at all.
"That's it, I can't kill a thief with 400,000 troops? You must think that King Changshou is too powerful."
They are the orthodox, and the name of King Changshou is not correct.
As soon as he sent an oath, people of insight in the world could slay him.
In this era of war, one must be "famous for his teacher". When King Changshou besieged Chenzhou, he was also in the name of "the side of the Qing emperor, and the evil spirit", not who he wanted to fight. In one volume of arraignment, people all over the world beat King Changshou, and they were all famous teachers.
In the same way, fighting a battle does not mean that you can win a hundred battles by being famous.
Many veteran ministers only see their own interests and do not consider the reality at all, which is somewhat taken for granted.
King Changshou did not dare to confront the allies, because they could not afford it.
In the same way, the Allied forces were scattered with sand, and they did not want to force it.
Although it is a bit "silly and sweet", all the ministers know that they are holding the allied princes now, and they cannot conflict with them.
After the funeral was over, the news of King Changshou's ascension to the throne spread, and many people frowned.
Some people scolded King Changshou, some remained silent, and others were in the middle of the mud.
Jiang Pengji sneered as she looked at the varied expressions of all beings.
"There are so many big plays in the past few days. Guess what's next for King Changshou?"
Feng Zhen sneered and said, "Mostly, it is to divide the allied forces and make everyone feel bad. According to King Changshou's original plan, he should have captured the emperor, forced the emperor to take the throne, and then selected the princes of King Qin's allied forces to appease them one by one. The internal division of the allied forces. Now, after the death of the first emperor, the wishful thinking of King Changshou has become obsolete. He can only proclaim himself emperor, and then seal the allied princes in the name of the emperor. The lord also knows that there are many discords within the allied army. Many people have the stinking virtue of being a mother if they have milk, maybe they can really win over."
Yang Si nodded in agreement, he said, "However, this move of King Changshou is beneficial to the lord."
Jiang Pengji fought for the position of Maruzhou shepherd for herself, and planned to reveal her identity as a woman. The chances of the court agreeing or not agreeing were 55 to 50 percent.
However, with the matter of King Changshou, the court did not agree and could only agree, and could only hold a nose and seal a female Liu as Maruzhou shepherd.
Why
Because if the court offended Jiang Pengji, wouldn't they worry that King Changshou would take advantage of it and poach Liu's family away
If a Meng clan defected, the imperial city of Chenzhou would be looted, and if there was another Liu clan, the Dongqing court would not be able to withstand the turmoil.
Even if they knew that the Liu family and the Meng family on the side of King Changshou were filthy, there are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests.
As long as the interests still exist, are there still few examples of turning war into jade and silk
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "I know the truth."
The results of the competition for the next emperor came out. The winner was the eldest son of the Crown Princess and the eldest grandson of the first emperor.
Hearing this news, Wu Majing, the governor of Hu County, had a gloomy expression on his face, like the black paint on the coffin.
He was jumping around and winning allies these days. How could he know that these people deserved good things on the surface, and they stabbed him behind the scenes.
Wuma thought that the next emperor was his, but he didn't expect that it would end up on an eleven-year-old little boy.
No matter how angry he was, the result could not be changed.
Even if Wuma Jin wanted to follow the example of King Changshou in rebelling, and there were still allied troops stationed outside the city, he had no chance of winning.
After the first seven funerals, the young emperor's enthronement ceremony followed.
The young emperor was eleven years old, his body looked thin, and his eyes looked timid with fear of strangers.
Although it is a grand ceremony for the enthronement, it is far less luxurious than the funeral of the late emperor, and even seems very hasty and crude.
The emperor was wearing an ill-fitting tunic with a mian on his head, and his footsteps were cramped. He took the Empress Dowager's hand and walked to the dragon chair...
Jiang Pengji glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and she felt that what an audience member said made sense.
[Nie Beiling]: Alas, the mother is strong and the son is weak. It looks like the empress dowager's enthronement ceremony, but the little emperor becomes a foil instead.
The empress dowager sat behind the curtain, and the young emperor became a decoration.
After ascending the throne, the next link is the most anticipated reward of the Allied princes.
Although their credit is not very big, but they are also members of the Allied Forces. Others eat meat, but they are not allowed to drink soup
According to the official statement, the person who made the greatest contribution this time is Xu Pei, who is well-disciplined and commanding, and the first credit is given, followed by Liuxi, the county magistrate of Xiangyang County, and Yang Jian, the prefect of Zhangzhou Dongmen County. In embarrassment, remember the first-class credit.
