Chapter 520: Success is the king and defeat is the thief
520
It seemed as if in a blink of an eye, the Kingdom of Daxia turned from a peaceful and prosperous era to a storm.
Although the imperial court sent a large army to it, it would take about ten days to arrive.
He also issued a proclamation to order the officials of the approaching Chuzhou and Jinzhou to encircle and suppress it first.
But the rebels in Suizhou were not weakened, but instead, many people from nearby prefectures and counties went to join us.
Chuzhou and Jinzhou are slow to move and do not confront people in Suizhou at all.
The rebel leader Bai Meng even posed the banner of "eliminating tyrants and establishing a wise king" and begged to abolish the emperor and support Yong Wang as the king.
In this way, the people regard it as a hero.
This is not the end. A group of people in the court began to write letters repeatedly, begging King Yong to succeed the throne.
King Yong refused to say anything and even wanted to become a monk.
The people around me naturally stopped me and were like a lively opera.
What is even more worrying is that thieves are rising from all over the world. Under this situation, ministers who supported King Yong's successor to the throne gathered outside the Gao family and Sima family, asking these two families to come forward to persuade King Yong to ascend the throne.
On this day, the Sima Mansion was kneeling in darkness and full of ministers.
"Master, aren't you going out to take a look?" Luan asked.
In the past few days, Sima Gang has been saying that he has never been to court.
"In this case, we can only depend on the old man of the Gao family's intentions. I can't set an example." Sima Gang said helplessly: "The current situation is turbulent. If you are not careful, you will be a disaster for the genocide."
When Luan heard this, she was naturally frightened and covered her chest and said, "A few days ago, King Yong suddenly visited. You said he was testing, but he had already..."
Lord Sima looked at his wife and shook his head slowly: "Be careful, don't mention it again in the future."
If, as Luan said, King Yong was testing the Sima family a few days ago, then the mutiny of the six armies should be as expected by him. If he had already expected but did not make any defense, it would only mean that he had other plans.
All he showed to the world are illusions.
Yunqing's simple yard was full of people. He demolished half of his house and built a sacred temple for King Yong, attracting everyone nearby to come and worship.
A team of officials came over and separated the crowd.
These people are poor people, most afraid of seeing officials, so they all timidly let them aside.
Yun Qing looked closely and saw that the group of people came over surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing a big red official robe. Yun Qing recognized this person as Lord Cao, the Yin of Jingzhao.
He walked forward calmly and bowed.
"You are Yun Qing?" Lord Cao looked Yun Qing up and down, his tone was quite easy-going.
"The student is Yun Qing." Yun Qing lowered his head slightly, with a respectful and restrained expression.
He was so neither humble nor arrogant, but Lord Cao looked at him with admiration, and his tone was filled with some appreciation: "You raised your head and spoke. In theory, you are a person who has been pursuing your karma, not a commoner."
Yun Qing indeed raised his head. Although his clothes were worn out, they were washed clean. His eyebrows were clear and his expression was peaceful, and he did not look shivering.
"Why did you want to build this temple?" asked Lord Cao.
"It's just a heart that comes from gratitude." Yun Qing said.
"Okay, now that the people are asking for their lives, there is still a suitable example to show their talents. I don't think you are a person who has lived for a long time. Do you dare to give it a try?" Master Cao asked Yun Qing.
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. If a student can do his best, he will be content and not expect anything else." Yun Qing said: "If you use this as a step forward, it will be contrary to your original intention."
"Okay! Since that's the case, you can go with me!" Lord Cao smiled: "No further."
Sima Lantai finally found an effective way to deal with the plague, and the epidemic stabilized.
Gao Family.
Gao Dechen smiled bitterly and said, "Now there are almost no other voices in the city. They are asking King Yong to ascend the throne."
"There are even many people who have been dead," Gao Jingchen shook his head: "It's only a matter of time before our mansion is full of people who are asking for their lives."
"My father went to see King Yong a few days ago. He kept silly and refused to tell the truth," Gao Mingchen was obviously much thinner and aged more than teenagers: "He knew we couldn't afford to consume this poisonous snake!"
Old Master Gao sat there without saying anything. He sighed slowly and said, "It's over here, it's useless to say more. Take my court ward!"
On the first day of June, Grand Tutor Gao Su Tingwei Sima Gang and others knelt down to invite King Yong to ascend the throne.
King Yong refused again and again, but Taifu Gao and others persuaded the people and the country and the safety of Emperor Yin. King Yong had no choice but to agree.
At this time, the Empress Dowager was ill in the palace and did not dare to let her know any news.
King Yong wrote a reunion document before the ceremony was held. As long as the rebels must ensure the safety of Emperor Yin, they would be spared, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
"Father, can you really protect the emperor like this?" When Grand Tutor Gao returned home, all three sons came to discuss.
"It should be nothing. If we calculated before, Bai Meng was the spy of King Yong, then he would never kill the lord, otherwise he would definitely be executed. Then the glory and wealth that King Yong promised to him could not be fulfilled," said Gao Taifu: "And although King Yong is treacherous, he cherishes his reputation very much, otherwise it would not be possible to take action until now."
"Then we..." Gao Mingchen felt sad. After saying a word, he was still weak.
"By the will of heaven and fate!" Gao Taifu said: "We do not take advantage of the time, place and people."
The old man didn't say it, but the three sons understood.
Although King Yong agreed to take over the throne, he did not hold a ceremony, nor did he move into the palace, and he was still in his Royal Palace.
Because the weather was stuffy, he and the prince were in the yard in the evening.
Fresh fruits and melons were pouring in the crystal jar, and four young maids fanned them.
Every summer is the best time for the prince to live, and both the complexion and spirit are much better than in winter.
This also made King Yong feel that as long as he carefully recuperate for a few years, he would be no different from ordinary people.
"I didn't expect that the medical skills of those two people were really good," said Yong Wang. "You have only taken ten doses of medicine and stopped coughing and asthma."
"It's all for the blessing of the father." The prince was also very happy: "I really feel that it's lighter than in previous years."
The father and son were talking, and Quan Qingshi walked in from outside.
The prince looked at him coldly, then turned his face away and looked at the beautiful maid next to him.
"You all go down." King Yong saw that Quan Qingshi had something to report, so he drove all the maids down.
Although the prince was unhappy, he did not reveal it.
"Your Majesty, do we really want to save the life of the deposed emperor?" Even if King Yong has become the emperor, he is still his most important confidant.
"As long as I get things done, why do I have to kill him?" Yongwang said.
