Chapter 156 Guo Wei practicing Zuo (1)
When the soldiers were giving out their wealth, the next day, Guo Wei led all officials to Mingdemen to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and made a speech: "Military and political affairs are complicated, please a successor to the throne as soon as possible."
The Empress Dowager issued an edict saying: "Guo Yunming killed the lord, and he was ruthless, and the country should not be without a master for a day. Liu Chong, the governor of Hedong, and Liu Xin, the governor of Zhongwu, were the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu.
Wuning Jiedushi Liu Yun, former Kaifeng Yin Liuxun, was the son of Emperor Gaozu. All officials should discuss the election."
Guo Wei and others met with the Empress Dowager in Wansui Palace and requested that Liu Xun be appointed as the emperor.
The Empress Dowager said: "Liu Xun has been weak and sick for a long time and cannot get up."
Guo Wei left the palace to inform the people, so he discussed making Liu Yun the emperor. He then submitted a letter, and the empress dowager agreed to order the relevant departments to choose a date to prepare the emperor to welcome Liu Yun ascend the throne.
Guo Wei and others submitted a memorial request to send the Grand Tutor Feng Dao and others to Wuning Army to serve the Welcoming Commander. Guo Hao felt a little impatient and thought that he needed to be so polite?
Liu Yun was the son of Liu Chong. Emperor Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan loved him very much. Guo Wei sent envoys to various towns to issue notices.
Feng Dao knew that it was unreliable to welcome Liu Yun to do the emperor. It was a hard work to go there, but he knew that someone had to do this job, even if he acted, he had to continue.
After Feng Dao was ordered, Guo Wei's army arrested Liu Zhu, the prefect of Kaifeng.
This person has something incomprehensible about doing things. Even if he is dissatisfied with Liu Chengyou in this war, he should not refuse him to enter the city at this moment!
Guo Wei's army is at the city, and with his limited military strength and influence, he cannot have a chance of winning!
But he still opposed both the emperor and Guo Wei, putting his life to a lonely, dangerous and inexplicable state.
When Liu Chengyou asked him to kill Guo Wei's relatives in Beijing, he could have been a little bit more proud and not to destroy the whole family.
Therefore, Guo Hao believes that this is a very perverse person. If he goes to the appraisal in later generations, he will probably have mental problems.
Liu Zhu was tied to the government affairs hall for trial. He was humiliated by soldiers along the way and pushed him off the horse many times. Because he was tied up and could not maintain balance, he almost fell freely when he fell down, so he was injured all over. When he arrived at the lobby, he was already dying.
The opportunity for Guo Wei to take revenge has come. Everyone thought that Guo Wei would definitely destroy his whole family, but Guo Wei met Wang Chune.
As soon as Guo Wei entered Bianliang, he searched for Wang Chune everywhere. After finding him, he was very happy. So he asked him why the Liu family's fortune was so short that it was only passed on to the two emperors and it was destroyed in just a few years.
Wang Chune's answer was very reasonable. He said: "Before Liu Zhiyuan was given rank, he acted leniently, so he won the hearts of the people; after he got the throne, he immediately took revenge and the hearts of the old friends were dispersed.
The Han Dynasty followed the Central Plains and inherited the orthodox. I used calendars to calculate that the country's fortune should be very long, but because after Emperor Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan got the throne, he avenged his personal revenge and killed innocent people, and destroyed the race of human beings at every turn, so the country's fortune was not long."
Guo Wei sighed when he heard this. That night, he had sent troops to surround the Later Han ministers Su Fengji, Liu Zhu and others, and were about to kill their entire family after dawn. When he heard Wang Chune's words, he immediately ordered the killing to stop.
After Guo Hao learned the news, he remembered the name. It seems that he is not an ordinary person to have such good deeds in troubled times.
Guo Wei terminated his killing and extermination of the clan, and later learned that Su Fengji had committed suicide.
After dawn, he asked someone to interrogate Liu Zhu and said, "I serve the late emperor with you. Do you have no feelings for an old friend?"
I killed my family. Although I had a king's order, why was it so cruel and poisonous? I wanted to keep my Guo family without leaving any of them, if not...
Why are you so willing to bear it! You have a wife and children now, so don’t you think about them?”
Liu Zhu said loudly: "I killed the traitor for the Han Dynasty, but I don't know anything else!"
Guo Wei suppressed his anger when he heard this. With Wang Chune's guidance, he would even win people's hearts. So he discussed with the ministers and said, "Liu Zhu slaughtered my whole family, and I will slaughter his whole family again. This kind of resentment and resentment will be repeated.
I want to report to the Queen Mother Zhi and be lenient to his whole family. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they nodded and praised Guo Wei's kindness. In the crowd, Guo Hao couldn't help but admire Guo Wei's mind. At the same time, he tried to lower his head, not wanting Guo Wei to notice him. In fact, he had the ability to save Guo Wei's family, but he did not.
In the end, only Liu Zhu was killed, his wife and others were pardoned, and other "rebellious officials" only killed the "masters". All the family and relatives were pardoned, without any implication.
While Guo Hao was silent, he did not forget to observe others. When he looked at Zhao Kuangyin, he found that this guy seemed to be thinking.
"It seems that Lao Zhao's later kindness was influenced by Guo Wei. The release of military power in history was a situation where a few ministers died well. It seems that my problem is not big."
Guo Hao thought so and felt that although this incident was a bit insulting, it was still worth it. If Guo Wei's descendants became emperor, they might not have been able to do the same thing.
The situation in the court gradually stabilized. Li Ye, the brother of Empress Dowager Li, fled to Shanzhou and went to join his elder brother Li Hongxin, the governor of Baoyi.
But Li Hongxin did not dare to hide him at home. Li Ye had no choice but to take gold, silver and treasures to join his relatives in Jinyang. He arrived in Jiangzhou, Shanxi. He met a thief on the road and killed Li Ye and took away the wealth he had accumulated in his lifetime.
It will take time for Liu Yun to welcome him. Guo Wei led all officials to speak out and asked the Empress Dowager to follow the court.
However, before the emperor could take it back, Zhenzhou and Xingzhou came to report: "The Khitan chief generals tens of thousands of cavalry entered the invaders to attack Neiqiu, but failed in five days, and many casualties were killed and injured. Five hundred garrison soldiers rebelled against Khitan, led the Khitan into the city, slaughtered it, and then captured Raoyang."
The Empress Dowager ordered Guo Wei to lead the army to Chanzhou to resist the Khitan, and the great power of state affairs in the capital was entrusted to the new prime minister Dou Zhengu and others, and the military power was entrusted to Wang Yin and others.
Guo Wei's army was launched on the brink of the brink.
At this time, Liu Yun, accompanied by Feng Dao, was traveling from Xuzhou to Bianliang, preparing to enter Beijing to inherit the throne of Emperor Yin. He was honored with his ceremonial power along the way, and shouted long live the king, just like a king.
Guo Wei's army went to Huazhou for a few days to rectify military disciplines and food. When Liu Yun heard the news, he sent envoys to comfort and reward. The generals accepted the reward but each looked at each other and refused to bow.
The soldiers said to each other: "We are a great sin to slaughter the capital! If we are appointed Liu as the emperor, will we still have descendants burn incense for us?"
When Guo Wei heard these words, he was worried that he would not have any problems. He quickly led his troops north to move to Chengzhou. A few days later, Guo Wei crossed the river and stayed at Chengzhou Guanshi.
That night, rumors spread in the army, and some said, "The Emperor of Han has been defeated by General Guo, what is the general's crime?"
Some said: "The general understands the righteousness and the emperor is incompetent and incompetent, so he should replace it."
The next day, on the morning of the cold wind, when the army was about to set off, thousands of soldiers suddenly started to make noise. Guo Wei ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, but the soldiers climbed up the wall and overturned the house.
Several soldiers in the leadership said to Guo Wei: "You must be done by Guo Gong. We have already made enemies with Liu, so we should not make Liu the emperor again!"
At this time, in order to make a fait accompli, someone put the torn yellow flag on Guo Wei, supported him and cheered him up at the same time.
The shouts shook the sky and the earth. Taking advantage of the situation, Guo Wei was surrounded by him and marched south towards Bianliang - no longer heading north to the Khitan.
Guo Hao was like watching a movie, watching it with relish. After waiting for so long, he finally realized that he was wearing a yellow robe. It is estimated that the scene was similar when Lao Zhao Jianzuo was about the same.
At this time, Guo Hao didn't think too much, nor did he know what it felt like to be supported.
Guo Wei then submitted a memorial to the Empress Dowager, requesting to preside over the ancestral temple and the country and serve the Empress Dowager as her mother.
When Guo Wei's soldiers arrived at Qilidian, Dou Zhengu led all civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him, and took advantage of this to persuade Guo Wei to "perpetrate the throne".
Guo Wei agreed to ascend the throne, because it was impossible not to ascend the throne. He was already supported by the soldiers and had already been put on a yellow robe. If he did not hold the highest power at this time, it would be a crime of extermination.
Moving forward and ascending the throne means the merit of restoring the sky and bathing in the sun. Moving backward and retreating is the sin of unforgivable sin.
On that day, Guo Wei was camping in Gaomen Village. The next day, Guo Wei led his people to walk into Bianliang smoothly in the cold snow.
He wants to temporarily become a regent as a "country supervisor" rather than a "son of emperor", but there are still many conditions that are not met.
Liu Yun was coming from the east, and there were still several Liu's children who could be called emperor and had not been resolved. The ministers had not yet formally persuaded memorials, etc.
At this time, Wuning Jiedushi Liu Yun had arrived in Songzhou. Guo Wei's confidant Guo Chongwei heard the military changes in Chanzhou, so he took the initiative to send soldiers to meet Liu Yun halfway, intending to control Liu Yun.
