Chapter Fifty-Four
Xu You first arranged for someone to go back to Qiantang to send a letter to report safety. Zhang Xuanji and others would have to sleep day and night, so that they could not be informed early so that they could rest assured. In addition, He Ru Zuo Qi and the Winter Sorrow came to Wuxian from Mingyushan. How to deal with the current situation next? He Ru, as the master of the plan, will never leave him. The Winter Sorrow controls the intelligence agency, naturally cannot be absent. As for Zuo Qi, the role of the young master will always exceed imagination.
After washing away all the dust, Xu You changed his clothes and sat in the inner room. He learned from Gu Yun that the situation had been progressing in the past half month after he returned to Wu County with his head and tail.
After the prince killed his father, he forced Liu Ning, Yu Ting and others to surrender overnight. Gu Zhuoning refused to obey. He was beheaded by Cao Shu and then summoned all officials into the palace. Only dozens of people were summoned to come. He was immediately put on a crown and ascended the throne. He also issued an imperial edict: Gu Zhuo, the Left Guard General Liang Xiu killed the rebels without any ruthlessness. I ordered my troops to enter the palace, but I had no choice but to call him a death row and break his heart. Now the sinner is now, the culprit is defeated. I will pardon the world and change the reign of the Heavenly Saint to everyone know.
Since the third generation, countless people have been known to be kings and emperors, but An Xiuming was the first emperor to kill his father and seize the throne. There is no previous example to follow, and he must be guilty, so there is a small episode about changing the year name.
The change of the Tiansheng of the Yuan Dynasty was discussed by An Xiuming and Yu Daozhen, but when will the Yuan Dynasty be changed? Wei Tianzhi raised an objection. According to the rules, it should not be officially changed until next year. An Xiuming's position was not correct and could not wait for so long. He summoned the Zhongshu Lang Yuan Can and asked him if there was a precedent for the change of the Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty that year?
Gu Zhuo's head was still hanging at the entrance of the Taiji Hall. Yuan Can was afraid of death and said that Emperor Ai of Wei changed the reign of the emperor that year after Emperor Ming of Wei, and it would be impossible for the reign of the reign of the emperor. An Xiuming was very happy and was granted the title of Yuan Can's Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu and was also the Minister of Personnel.
After ascending the throne, An Xiuming returned to the western province. The western province was in Taicheng. It was the place where the prince lived in childhood. He moved to the Eastern Palace after he became an adult. He killed his father and was bold, but after he was accomplished, he became more and more frightened and did not dare to attend the funeral in person. Xiao Xunqi entered Xianyang Palace and destroyed An Zidao's body. He was posthumously named Emperor Jing and the temple name was Taizong. After three days of stopping the coffin, he was mourned by the country and buried in Changningling. The revival of a generation ended.
Next, when he was rewarded with merits, all the old subordinates of the Eastern Palace soared into the sky. Wei Tianzhi was the Shangshu Pushe and the chief minister of Shangshu Tai. From then on, Shangshu Ling became a vacant position and was no longer as powerful as before. Cao Shu was the general of the left guard, Yin Su was the general of the right guard, guarding the palace ban, and stated as the general of the left army, guarding Shitou City, Ren Jian was the general of the right army, and guarding Jingkou. He Zheng was the general of the auxiliary country, Wei Jing was the captain of the garrison, Zhang Chu was the general of the crossbow, and the rest of the troops were promoted to two levels, and they were given gold and silver in vain, and they completely controlled the central army.
After rewarding one's own people, the collaborators should also appease him. Xiao Xunqi was appointed as the Grand Sima, the Sili County Captain, Shen Du was appointed as the Grand General, the Central Army, Xiao Yushu was appointed as the General of the Leadership, Shen Mu's General of the Chariots and Cavalry, Shen Qing was appointed as the General of the Guardian, Shen Yue was appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Gate, and was appointed as the General of the Northern Army. He was appointed as the General of the Civil and Military Affairs, and was appointed as the Counselor of the Military. He was a distinguished for a while.
Although other princes and nobles did not work hard, they should not make trouble and support the new king afterwards. He should not be too stingy. King An Zishang of Jingling, nicknamed Prince Luniao, also took the responsibility of the governor of Yangzhou. In particular, he was the only uncle who was still in the world in An Xiuming, so he was named Taibao and was not named to worship. King An Xiuyuan of Hengyang was a younger brother who was in a collusion and could not be careless. Therefore, he was appointed as Taiwei, the military commander of Xu, Yan, Qing, Ji and Henan, and the governor of Xuzhou.
The Crown Princess Wang was appointed as the queen, Yu Daozhen was respected as the divine master, and Princess Shi'an entered the palace, and gave more rewards. Li Que'er was released from prison, released her house, and shed Xue Anguo's car, and abandoned her corpse in the wilderness. She also killed more than 30 dysfunctional sects of the court who were loyal to An Zidao and refused to surrender, and raged her nine tribes. The Pearl River outside Taicheng was dyed red for seven days.
With fame, fortune and wealth, and the deterrence of killing and massacre, An Xiu clearly acted as a courtesy of wise men and magistrates, and personally visited various families and important officials' residences to ask for good strategies for governing the country. This behavior confused many people and quickly stabilized the situation in Jinling. Then he sent dozens of envoys to various prefectures and counties across the country, not only to inspect the Wanfang, but also to demonstrate the existence of the new king, but also to explain the reasons for the changes in the capital, he denounced Gu Zhuo and Liang Xiu for the crimes of rebellion, occupy the highest point of morality, and maintain the sacredness of imperial power.
He was both kind and powerful, rewarded and punished, and was willing to condemn the low and small, and bought people's hearts. Although An Xiuming was a clerk who had been a 20-year-old crown prince, he knew the key to governing. The emperor who had no support was just a puppet and duckweed. Therefore, he tried his best to get the support of all officials. Even if half of them were orally dissatisfied, he had at least gained a firm foothold. As long as the states surrendered in the future, major events could be decided.
Xu You heard all the things and said nothing. An Xiuming was more powerful than he imagined and was even harder to deal with. Before, under An Zidao's suppression, he could not see any means of the hero. Now there is no restraint and immediately showed some spectacular tricks.
Gu Yun sighed: "An Xiuming secretly assumed the throne and had the reputation of orthodox. Now that Kyoto returns to his heart, there are many hesitants in the world. But I can't see that March is in my way. With the court's encouraging, promises and rewards, I'm afraid that they will all bow down..."
Xu You stood leaning against the window, and an unknown little flower beside the window peeked in through the window post. He broke it gently, put it on his nose and smelled it, and said, "Does Uncle Zhu Si have something to say to me?"
Although Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang has emerged in many talents, only Zhu Zhi can be regarded as a far-sighted and good teacher. At this unprecedented change in a century, his opinions are crucial to Xu You.
"Uncle Zhu Si sent someone to send a letter earlier, saying that you will forward it after you come back..."
Xu You suddenly turned around and said, "Where is the faith?"
After reading Zhu Zhi's letter, Xu You felt confident and went to visit Zhang Jinglong, the owner of Zhang's family with Gu Yun. Zhang Jinglong was over 50 years old, but his beard was still black. He was quite friendly to Xu You. After talking about the important matter, he even called Zhang Xuanji's father Zhang Ji and asked him to thank him in person: "Zhu Rui told me that you asked him to try every means to get Ji'er out of Beijing. Otherwise, as the chief censor, he would either follow the rebellion or die in his country at this time. Why not leave a useful body and eliminate rebellion for the country?"
Xu You didn't expect that the first meeting with his future father-in-law would be such an embarrassing occasion. He took the initiative to kneel down and bow, saying, "Zhongcheng, the boy is ignorant. He has made an decision in Jinling and collided with Zhongcheng, but he asks for punishment and dare not ask for forgiveness!"
Zhang Ji was critically ill and took leave of Beijing to escape a catastrophe. He said that he had indeed accepted Xu You's favor. However, the two knew it well that Xu You apologized for the sake of this matter, but Zhang Xuanji.
The reason why Zhang Ji opposed Zhang Xuanji and Xu You was mainly because of his identity as a solitary son of Xu, who was afraid that the prince would ascend the throne in the future and cause trouble for the family. But now that the situation has developed to this point, it is clear that Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang will never be willing to support a tyrant who kills his father. The gap between Xu You and Zhang Xuanji no longer exists. As a father, he is not dissatisfied with Xu You's literary talent. Seeing that he was very low and respectful to himself, the anger in his heart has actually faded.
"Get up!" Zhang Ji helped Xu You up, and the two looked at each other and smiled. The grudges of the past disappeared. "Mystery... is it okay?"
"She is temporarily staying in Qiantang now. If the Chief Secretary is not relieved, I will send someone to escort her to Wuxian..."
Zhang Ji was particularly fond of this daughter. She left home in anger and felt heartbroken and almost fell ill. Although she missed her very much, she considered the current situation and said: "Wu County is not safe, and it's better to live in Qiantang..."
"yes!"
After resolving Zhang Xuanji's knot, Xu You didn't expect that there was such an unexpected joy. That night, he secretly mobilized Gu Zhang's 3,000 troops, led by Zhang Huai, and left the city in batches, lurking outside the military camps of the prefectures. Before the sky was dawn, Xu You went to the military camp to see General Xuanwei Li Erniu. He and Li Erniu had a close relationship since the Beiguli Incident, and each met to tell their separation. Li Erniu hesitated and asked about the incident in Jinling. Xu You asked him to retreat and said, "Xuanwei, An Xiuming killed the throne and usurped the throne, and was ruthless. The Lord gave me a blood edict when he died, and ordered me to summon loyal and righteous people from all over the world to fight against the thieves. I expect An Xiuming will send someone to recruit Shun Xuanwei soon and give him a high official and generous salary. If Xuanwei still remembers the grace of the late emperor, please lead the soldiers of Yangzhou Prefecture to cooperate. If he is greedy for wealth, please behead Xu You's head and use it for rewards!"
Li Erniu said angrily: "Who is my husband? Although I am illiterate, I know to serve you with loyalty. If the prince is really planning a rebellion, I will not want to do anything for my life. I will follow you and kill the thief to serve the country!"
"Okay!" Xu You clapped his high-high: "Xuanwei will keep his troops still. If an envoy comes, you can submit and surrender first. When the four sides make the righteous words, the truth will be revealed. Xuanwei will follow me to plan a major event!"
Although Li Erniu was rough, he was not stupid. Xu You convinced him with righteousness and interests, avoiding the use of rash weapons and losing his strength. Naturally, everyone was happy. Leaving the military camp, Xu You went to visit Wang Fu again. He did not go too far with the meeting with Wang Fu, and said, "Xiao Xunqiu was in a position of honor. Sili Mansion was implicated by him and has become a place of death. Since ancient times, there has been a wise monarch who killed his father and succeeded to the throne. How can he last for a long time if he was in a bad position? If he loses power, how can he handle it? This is the disaster of the nine tribes of the Yi. I hope that the fake assistant will judge the situation and turn to the light. With me, I will definitely ensure that you are safe in the future!"
Wang Fu was sweating profusely and could not speak for a long time. Finally, he stood up and knelt down to pay his respects to Xu You, a scene that he could not even think about at the beginning.
After dealing with Li Erniu and Wang Fu, Wu County had no worries. Three days later, An Xiuming's envoy also arrived at the prefect's office.
In recent years, the Shen family gradually faded out of the circle of friends of the Yangzhou clans. The four surnames of Kuaiji were destroyed due to the White Thieves' rebellion. Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang were dominant, and they turned the iron bucket of Yangzhou. It can be said that Yangzhou is now the Yangzhou of the emperor and the Yangzhou of the four surnames of Wu County. No one can do it.
The envoy was named Luo Xun, the direct descendant of the Eastern Palace, former crown prince Zhan Shicheng, and currently serves as Sima Duke in the hall. The Sima Duke in the hall is not high, only sixth rank, and has twenty subordinates. At the court meeting, Sima Duke in the general's uniform and stands on the left and right sides of the emperor. When he opens the gates of the city at night, he holds the White Tiger Banner to supervise him. He is an absolute confidant.
Luo Xun brought Gu Zhuo's body, his head had been sewn with his body, and the knife marks on his neck looked terrifying, but at least the fallen leaves returned to their roots, the corpse would not be left untold. Gu Yun wore white clothes, raised banners all over the city, led more than a thousand people to welcome him ten miles outside the city, without giving the new man any face, which made Luo Xun quite embarrassed.
However, Luo Xun kept in mind An Xiuming's advice when he left the capital, did not dare to touch Gu's bad head, endured the embarrassment and watched the entire funeral, and then met Gu Yun in a secret room. He exchanged unintentional greetings and said directly: "Gu Ni's title is his own fault. The Lord is kind and does not want to be implicated. The Holy Will Begins from Gu Zhuo, and He Ends from Gu Zhuo. I also hope that the Prefect will follow the Heavenly Destiny and will be a sign to congratulate the new Lord ascend the throne as soon as possible. The court will not hesitate to reward him..."
Gu Yun pondered for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "If the Lord is willing to give me the governor of Yangzhou, and I will be in charge of Wu County, Gu will be grateful!"
