Chapter 110 Funeral

After Situ Lei died and the new king Situ Yu succeeded to the throne, and announced that he would annex the Yan Kingdom and surrender its national status, in Yupan City east of Wangjiang River, the eldest son of the Situ family, Situ Yi, Situ Lei’s eldest brother, announced Ascended to the throne.

At the beginning of his succession, Situ Yi immediately promulgated seven decrees.

For one thing, the country's title is still Dacheng, which legally recognizes the regime established by his younger brother, and the era name continues to be the first year of Kai Zheng promulgated by Situ Lei.

Second, change Yupan City into Jade Capital.

The third one denounced Situ Lei's crime of killing his father and leaving his brother, and claimed that he had raised the army to defeat Wudao, clear the door for the Situ family, and rectify the source.

The purpose of letting the savages enter the pass is also to borrow troops from the savages.

Fourth, he named his younger brother Situ Jiong the King of Wangjiang.

Fifth, the savage king Gou Moli (the savage king’s real name) was granted the title of Great Protector of the Snowfield, taking charge of all matters in the snowfield.

Six chapters, denounced the hypocrite of Yingdu, his nephew Situ Yu, for betraying the country and seeking glory, dedicating his ancestral family property and the land of the Jin people to the State of Yan, calling on the people of the three Jin Dynasties to rise up and resist, and conquer the Yan State. People were driven out of Jin.

In the seventh chapter, the new king ascends the throne and provides amnesty to "the world".

This news spread quickly, and through the extension of external tentacles, it quickly appeared on General Zheng’s desk.

The blind man pondered for a moment and said:

"My lord, except for the seventh one, which is a bit funny, the rest are all on target."

Amnesty is indeed nonsense. After all, the area controlled by the rebels has been devastated by savages for a long time. Why don't you pardon me?

As for the remaining six wills, one is to inherit his younger brother's "inheritance", and the other is to establish his own orthodox legal status and win the support and favor of the Situ family forces.

These measures have made me, the "new emperor," feel aggrieved psychologically, but they have actually produced tangible benefits.

And the Savage King was only named the Protector of the Snowfield. This Savage King kept a very low profile in the new dynasty. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the two brothers Situ Yi and Situ Jiong were actually the two brothers in the hands of the Savage King. A chess piece, similar to Wang Chuanhai in later generations, but the Savage King took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes and gave the flashlight to the two brothers.

"My lord, this move of the Savage King is no longer forbearance. He is planning to break the bones of these two living treasures and suck out the marrow."

Zheng Fan nodded and crossed his hands. , said:

"Actually, they might have originally planned to hold the enthronement ceremony in Yingdu, but Situ Lei pushed back before his death, so they had no choice but to hold the enthronement ceremony on the east bank of Wangjiang River. "

The effect is naturally much worse than that in Yingdu. At the same time, it can be seen that without the great victory before Situ Lei's death, Chengguo's situation might have really been worse. It has become irremediable.

It can be seen from these wills alone that those two living treasures still have something and some political acumen.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems now that this so-called New Dacheng Kingdom is just a grasshopper after the autumn."

"That's not right." Zheng Fan immediately shook his head and said : "Blind man, do you think that this barbarian army has been a little too low-key since entering the pass?"

"Perhaps the barbarian king originally planned to enter the pass and run away? Anyway, after entering the customs this time, they gained a large number of people and materials, including a large number of craftsmen and other talents. They have already made a lot of money.

That's probably what I think now. To preserve his strength, my subordinates feel that the last bottom line for the Savage King is probably Xue Guan. As long as Xue Guan is not lost, he will definitely win."

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "Blind man, I don't think so. Look at it this way."

"Does the Lord think that the Savage King has a bigger conspiracy?"

"Yes, you know that when Dorgon first entered the pass, many people They also felt that if they just came to rob them, they would return outside the customs just like many times before. Even many princes and ministers of the Qing court felt this way.

But people's desires are not good. It may stop, especially for the savages, this is truly a once-in-a-century opportunity. I don’t think they will give up, and I don’t think the savage king will be willing to take the tribe back to the snowfield.

“It’s just that, my lord, my subordinates really don’t know about the savages. How will the king come back? At this moment, the eldest prince is arrogant and underestimates the enemy. "

"Can we take a gamble?"

"My subordinates admit defeat. "

"That's boring."

"My subordinates have been organizing lectures in the evenings these days, telling the soldiers how much effort you have put into raising them. and the price, and also told them that it is difficult for us to maintain our good life in Shengle for a long time, unless we encounter a war, and we will win this war.

Subordinate, The judgment on the gambler is correct, and these soldiers have been given the right to know some things in advance, so that when the war really starts in the near future, their fighting will will be higher."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"My subordinates are not working hard, but Si Niang is really working hard. The subordinates are willing to accompany the Lord to gamble, that is, Lord, our Savings really can’t last long.

If you lose this gamble, if you want to continue playing, you can only reduce your troops or switch to a settlement policy.”

"I know." Zheng Fan nodded.

Zheng Fan knew clearly that this was the blind man leaving a bottom line for himself. For the demon kings, this was a game. Since it was a game, winning or losing, as long as he and others did not die, the rest Yes, there is nothing that cannot be given up.

But if this bet fails and Shengle City really goes bankrupt, then it will reallyYou have to change your gameplay.

Zheng Fan stroked the back of his hand,

slowly said:

"Just wait and see."

……

The eldest prince finally entered the city.

All forces are actually waiting impatiently for the eldest prince to enter Yingdu.

But the eldest prince has always been "steady as an old dog".

There is no trace of youthful vigor. When it comes to fighting, he looks like a sullen old fox.

Every time the army takes a step forward, it will make corresponding preparations, and coordinate with the local area and friendly troops and horses, everything is done flawlessly.

Occasionally, rebels and savages would come to stir up trouble, but they were all driven away by the eldest prince's troops.

Since the defeat of the rebels, although the new king Situ Yi has granted many official positions, the group that is brave and able to fight has actually been almost wiped out. On the savage side, It's a bit like working hard but not working hard to make foreign workers work.

Rather than wanting to provoke a war,

it’s more like urging the eldest prince: You, hurry up and get on the road, don’t be so slow, enter Yingdu as soon as possible, we’re good Continue to the next step.

Many aspects of Yingdu City are actually looking forward to the "Heavenly Master". Civil servants, military generals, nobles, and ordinary people, all classes are waiting for the arrangements for themselves after the arrival of the new overlord.

Just like the wait after the big exam before the results are released,

It really makes people scratch their heads and anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Perhaps the most embarrassing thing is that,

Because the eldest prince has not come yet,

Li Bao, who came to Yingdu first, only took control of the east city gate. The army was still stationed outside the city and had no intention of interfering in Chengdu's internal affairs.

So,

The coffin of Chengguo Daxing Emperor Situ Lei is actually still parked in the palace.

The new king, Situ Yu, is only ten years old. These days, he only observes filial piety for his father and does not manage the so-called government affairs. The prime minister, Sun Youdao, can only maintain the order in Yingdu from falling into chaos.

Everyone is actually trying hard to maintain it, waiting for the truly qualified speaker to enter.

Finally,

The eldest prince arrived.

Today, it started to rain in Yingdu.

But both sides of the road from entering the city to the main gate of the palace were crowded with local people.

From the head of Guizhou to the powerful, everyone hopes that after this rain, what awaits them will be a new life.

Savages, haze, everything, it is best to disappear completely.

The obvious smell of blood still lingers in this city, because before Situ Lei struck hard, there was a wave of general purges in the capital.

He tried his best to do everything he could. The stall he left behind was not very good, but it could not be called too bad.

The eldest prince felt particularly deeply about this point.The capital city, although panicked but without chaos, was really too important for the coming war. This was equivalent to giving Yan a stable war rear.

The Pixiu under the eldest prince has just grown up, with black hair and leering eyes, showing its unruly nature.

Different from it, the eldest prince did not have the willfulness of being an "envoy of the Celestial Empire". He was very calm, and even the soldiers behind him looked extremely solemn.

The vanguard is Li Bao, not Li Fusheng. This is the arrangement of the eldest prince. Because of Li Fusheng's habits, everyone knows that this is a general who likes to kill people and taste blood. Let him alone It was too risky to take charge of this populous capital.

At the moment, Li Fusheng is following behind the eldest prince.

Li Bao did not follow him in. When the army is outside, there must be a real talker.

The people of Chengguo on both sides of the road did not show excessive enthusiasm for the prince of the Ji family, because most people were still confused in their hearts.

Has Chengguo and the Situ family really come to an end?

Many people didn’t really realize this until this moment. The rows of black-armored knights and their black dragon flags all announced the change of ownership of this big city.

The gate of the imperial palace had been opened long ago, and the Imperial Guards knelt down neatly on the ground.

They did not try to challenge the majesty of the Prince of Dayan, nor did they make any more attempts. These days were actually a kind of torture for them.

The shutdown in the palace, the stagnation of government affairs, and everything inside and outside the city and outside the palace have made them feel like they are in a state of war.

Now,

it is time to be freed.

From the very beginning when the Yan State took the initiative to cease the war, then to Jingnan Hou’s expedition to the snowy plains, as well as Situ Lei’s previous arrangements, plus the tone set by that great victory;

Perhaps,

In the corner of the restaurant, in the side room of the private school, there are young scholars getting drunk and an old gentleman drinking alone.

What flows in the wine is the last nostalgia for the motherland.

In a little-known part of the military camp, in the general courtyard and in the houses of the Situ family's children, there were also people wielding swords and swords, venting the dissatisfaction that was almost overflowing from their bodies.

There are many people who are unwilling to give in.

But their unwillingness

Under this general trend,

only It can be a little embellishment, but it won't make much of a splash at all.

The old willows at the entrance of the village can make people feel sad, not to mention that the foundation passed down for hundreds of years will be overturned?

The eldest prince dismounted, Li Fusheng also dismounted, and the other soldiers lined up neatly outside the palace gate on horseback.

Tie up black gauze and white cloth, the eldest prince and Li Fusheng walked into the palace gate together.

It is tradition that the dead are the most important;

What’s more, the person who died was the leader of a country, and he won even more victories for him in the fight before his death. Got many posthumous names.

In the main hall,

all the ministers of Chengguo knelt on the ground, and the eldest prince and Li Fusheng walked in.

In front of the coffin, Sun Youdao, the Prime Minister of the Cheng Kingdom, stood on one side, holding a bell in his hand, and the Minister of Rites personally delivered incense.

Behind the coffin, Situ Yu, dressed in white mourning, was sitting on his knees. He looked up at the eldest prince who had walked in, and then at the coffin beside him that held his father's body.

Situ Yu is still young, because Situ Lei himself is not old at all.

Perhaps Emperor Daxing has not yet had time to train his successor, because he feels that it is still early, and it is early enough that he does not feel the need to rush to do it.

But this can be regarded as a blessing. Situ Lei left, leaving behind a ten-year-old king. With the pride of the Yan people, they would not attack this young son.

At the very least, this branch, this lineage, can be continued, and the wealth of the Yan country can be guaranteed.

The eldest prince took a few steps back after offering incense and knelt down on the futon. Li Fusheng then offered incense and knelt behind the eldest prince.

“Ji Wujiang, the eldest prince of Yan State and general marshal of the Eastern Expedition, mourned for Emperor Chengguo Daxing!”

“Li Fusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, mourned Emperor Daxing of Chengguo State! !”

Then,

kowtow.

The kneeling ministers of Chengguo also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The eldest prince and the Yan people have given enough face, and everyone can have an explanation for Emperor Daxing.

This scene can be sung smoothly, and then the chapter can be turned over.

Sun Youdao rang the bell,

shouted:

"Xiaojun returns the gift!"

The somewhat stunned leader of the country Situ Yu then stood up in a somewhat confused manner, faced the eldest prince, and knelt down again.

The eldest prince immediately stood up,

took a few more steps towards the coffin,

said:

"The military is cautious and boundless. It was too late, and it delayed Emperor Daxing's sleep. Wujiang stabbed Emperor Daxing to plead guilty." After saying this, the eldest prince knelt down again.

Sun Youdao rang the bell again,

repeatedly:

"The filial piety returns the gift!"

The deceased is gone, the living When people come to pay homage, no matter what they say or do, they speak to the deceased, but the attitude of the deceased must be responded to by the living.

Situ Yu was obviously still a little afraid of the prince of Yan who had a murderous aura.

At this time, the eldest prince was closer to him than before,

Making Situ Yu more and more nervous,

a little shudderingHe stumbled and responded:

"Military situation...It's important...Father...Father knows...I know."

It's hard to say. Finished,

Situ Yu immediately knelt down again.

The eldest prince stood up and reached out to help Situ Yu.

When his hands touched Situ Yu's shoulders, the eldest prince could clearly detect that the young king's body was shaking.

This should not be an act, after all, he is only ten years old.

Even adults, faced with such a devastating situation, would be out of control, let alone him.

The family and the country collapsed almost at the same time. The young king did not know how to carry it up. He even did not know whether he should carry it or not, and... dare Don't dare to carry it.

Xu Youdao rang the bell again,

Long tone shouted:

"The ceremony is completed!"

All civil servants and generals are honored At this point they all stood up.

In fact, the entire set of etiquette has been completed by others long ago. What is missing is Ji Wujiang, who represents the will of Yan State, and came to fill in the last gap.

When Emperor Daxing is buried, if Ji Wujiang doesn’t come, it won’t be considered a ceremony.

The eldest prince looked around, took out a yellow imperial edict from his chest,

said loudly:

"Your Majesty has an edict!"

When the eldest prince took out the imperial edict of Emperor Yan,

all the civil and military ministers who had just stood up knelt down again after a brief pause.

Immediately,

said in unison:

"I will accept the order!"

When the mind has been prepared for a long time, the body's reaction , it is very natural, nothing else, just follow the heart.

Chengguo is still there. Chengguo has surrendered its national status. According to the example of the Jin Emperor, he should be granted the title of Duke. The Emperor of Jin is the Duke of Jin, and he and the Queen Mother are raised in Yanjing.

Then, the leader of Chengguo should be named the Duke of Chengguo.

But after all, the Jin Emperor was inherited for more than 800 years. His ancestors were on an equal footing with the ancestors of the Ji family. Although Jin Emperor Yu Ciming made some changes later, he still had the ability to open the South Gate to lead the way for the Yan army. of credit.

Furthermore, the Situ family was originally a retainer of the Jin Dynasty. If they were to avoid it, it would be possible for the leader of the Cheng Kingdom to be granted the title of Chenghou.

In short, no matter how the king is the king, they, the ministers, have to bow down to another person.

The eldest prince opened the imperial edict and read:

"My brother Situ, I am shocked to hear the bad news. I can't sleep at night..."

The people who were kneeling on the ground from the civil and military affairs of the Cheng Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom were all slightly surprised after hearing the beginning of the imperial edict. They originally thought that the imperial edict should be more formal, but they did not expect that it would be in this way. Write in tone.

But if you think about it carefully, thisIt is also in line with the temper of the Emperor of Yan.

"One of the great regrets in life is that I have not been able to meet you once in this life. I have to drink heavily and sing songs to live up to the heroic spirit of this life..."

In the imperial edict, Emperor Yan first expressed Datong's regret for Stuart Lei's death.

These two people really have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

The next step is the highlight. < /p>

The ministers present were stunned for a moment, Prince?

When the Emperor of Jin returned to Yan, he had no choice but to be granted the title of Duke of Jin and the Lord of the Kingdom of Cheng. However, he was directly granted the title of Prince by the Emperor of Yan. This honor is not unimportant. You must know the titles of the Yan people. That is quite stingy, and it is precisely because of stinginess that it is even more precious.

The most important thing is that Emperor Yan did not allow Situ Yu to be raised in Yanjing. Instead, he was enfeoffed in Yingdu. A hereditary replacement was equivalent to retaining the original structure of the Situ family to the greatest extent. .

Not only will Situ Yu have real power, but they, the former civil and military ministers of the Chengguo, will also be able to retain the maximum power.

This is Sun Youdao.

At this moment, I can’t help but feel a little emotional.

The Emperor Yan, whom I have never met before,

He is really broad-minded,

That domineering attitude,

is really impressive.

No wonder Emperor Daxing once lamented on his sickbed.

"I appreciate this! Everyone, please be free."

The ministers faced the eldest prince and shouted in unison:

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor." Long live!"

The eldest prince held the imperial edict in his hand and raised it facing the west,

"Holy greetings."

Things have come to an end. There are still many details that have not been clarified, but under the premise that the general direction has been implemented, the details below will soon be sorted out.

Next, everyone just needs to work together to stamp out the rebellion and drive the savages out of the Sanjin land.

Sun Youdao also breathed a sigh of relief. The internal process was much more stable and kind than he imagined, and it was better than the highest situation he had expected before.

At the moment,

he held the bell forward and

struck three times in a row.

The coffin of Emperor Daxing will be officially transported and buried in the mausoleum.

At this time,

The eldest prince and Li Fusheng took the initiative to walk to the coffin and stood in the first row, amidst the stunned civil and military officials around them.

A prince of Yan State and a general of Yan State took the initiative to press the wooden stake carrying the coffin on his shoulders.

The eldest prince shouted:

"Get up!"

Sun Youdao was so excited that there were tears in his eyes.

Seeing that the others were still there Stunned, he immediately shouted:

"Awake!"

The burial procession was very grand.

Amidst the rain,

the person carrying the coffin walking in the front row was Situ Yu, the former lord of Cheng Kingdom and now Prince of Yancheng. A filial son leads the way.

Behind him was the eldest prince of Yan State who was carrying the coffin.

After the funeral procession left the palace gate, every time it passed, the people on both sides of the road knelt down and cried loudly. It seemed that the fear and uneasiness that had been suppressed in their hearts for so many days were here. It all came out.

Accompanying the funeral procession,

there was another era,

an era that belonged to the Situ family in the land of Sanjin.

Many years later, people in Yingdu will never forget that rainy day.

The late emperor went to the funeral,

The prince of Yan State carried the coffin,

Tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry from the Zhenbei Army formed an array, all with white cloth hanging on their arms.

In the dark,

It seems that I can still hear the voice that Emperor Daxing shouted before going out for the battle:

"If you die in battle, the Situ family will deserve to die." "In front of people!"

......

On the east bank of Wangjiang River, in the Jade City, the new emperor Situ Yi and a group of civil and military personnel of the new dynasty began to celebrate and have a banquet. However, discerning people discovered that at the banquet, No wild man was seen, but even if a discerning person found out, he would not ask him face to face. Instead, he would celebrate the death of the Situ family chick with the monarch even more joyfully.

Outside the Jade Capital City,

Savage Wang Gou Moli knelt down in front of an altar table.

There was only a fruit plate, a cold vegetable plate, a pot of wine, and two half-drooped incense candles on the table, which can be said to be quite shabby.

Gou Moli faced the altar table,

after kneeling three times very seriously,

stood up silently.

Behind him stood Sang Hu, Alai, Grimu and other fierce generals.

Gou Moli raised his head,

sung loudly:

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!!!" ! ”

This is the way the savages bid farewell to the deceased. They believe that in the cry, the soul of the deceased will be taken into the depths of the stars and enjoy supreme glory.

The world only knows that Situ Lei was unfavorable in the early battles and his subordinates were unfavorable, which led to the entry of savages.

But no one knows that, in the view of this barbarian king, if the head of the Situ family is not Situ Lei, who killed his father and forcibly came to power, then led the army north,

then,< /p>

The entry of the saints under his command will be countless times easier.

The savage’s centuries of forbearance, coupled with the king’s years of preparation, the power unleashed by his rise is extremely terrifying. You know, after Tian Wujing swept the snowfield, Instead of continuing to order the eastward advance, he chose to withdraw.

If there really is destiny in this world, then the destiny of the savages has actually come, just as the Jade Order predicted.

DanhuanghuangqingHistory, what is written above is nothing more than four words - the king becomes a king and the bandits are defeated.

Future generations will only remember that Situ Lei failed to block the Snow Customs, but they will not know clearly that without Situ Lei, the hole would have cracked faster and collapsed more violently.

The Savage King let out a long sigh:

"Old enemy, you are gone. May the stars protect your soul and give you rest."

Behind him ,

Many savage generals also put their right hands on their left chests:

"May the stars protect your soul."

The savage king squatted down,

Looking at the Wangjiang River in front of him,

"The next step is to fight with that kid from the Yan Kingdom. He is really an old fox-like kid, that prince from the Yan Kingdom. , He is quite a figure."

But then,

The Savage King suddenly grabbed the mud in front of him, held it in his hand, and said with a smile. :

"I left that Nanhou alone and actually sent a baby to deal with me.

Your Majesty the Emperor of Yan State,

I promise that you will For your contempt,

I will pay the price for it,

Yan Guo will also pay for it!”

Long wrote this chapter very comfortably.
