Chapter Eleven After the Scene
On the evening of August 15, 623, the 623rd year of Wei Li.
The sky shows a strange phenomenon, the sky shines on the stars and moves to the heart of the moon, the moon is full like a plate and the red light is like a veil. The people gather together to enjoy the moon, and the whole country enjoys this wonder scene that has never been seen in ancient times.
The red moon is in the sky, and a ritual official submits a report to the Queen of Jing of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Saying: The sky-sky star is also the Emperor star. The sudden turn of the Emperor star is a sign of great danger, which means that the emperor is a monarch with no virtue, and he is afraid that the sky will bring blood. If disasters are imminent, the country will be unstable, and natural disasters will be constantly killed.
Only when the Queen of Jing proclaims himself emperor and establishes a new dynasty can one adapt to the celestial phenomena and turn bad luck into good fortune.
We will ensure that our human race will flourish for generations.
The Great Wei Empire, Empress Jing, was the tyrant of the three emperors in four years, and took charge of the government. The emperor became a puppet and was frightened at all times, fearing that if there was a slight mistake, he would be driven off the throne by Empress Jing.
This time in Hongyue, rumors have spread in the empire. Some rumors point directly to the Jinghou who is in charge of the affairs of the country, saying that it was Jinghou who is in trouble and trouble in the court, which caused all kinds of rebels to spread, which caused warnings from the sky.
Some court officials were already secretly contacting all the vassal kings, wanting to jointly raise troops to attack Jinghou and support the imperial family.
The ambitious Jing Hou also actively attacked the forces in the empire that opposed him, clearing the way for the final emperor.
Among the nine vassal states under the empire, Jiang State had the strongest national strength and extremely sensitive position, so Jinghou naturally wanted to gain support from Jiang State. As long as the King of Jiang nodded and was willing to respect Jinghou and proclaim himself emperor and occupy the estuary of Taijiang River, the other five vassal states along the Taijiang River must carefully consider their interests.
But Lao Jiang Wang was very sloppy. No matter how Jing Hou made a clear hint, he never expressed his attitude.
The Great Wei Empire had already shown signs of decline a few years ago, and there were rebels everywhere. However, Empress Jing was using the rebels to eliminate dissidents, making several rebels more and more suppressed, and Empress Jing's power was getting bigger and bigger, and even the emperor could abolish it at will.
Although Jing Hou, who monopolized the power, began to pay attention to the clearance of the rebels, the effect was not ideal. One place of rebels was wiped out, and the other place was rebelled again.
Among these rebels, there were peasant uprisings who were desperate; there were bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings; there were village tyrants organized by officials and gentry who were dissatisfied with the Jinghou...
During the war, the empire was completely lost. The vassal kings became increasingly domineering. Several of the vassal states had stopped paying tribute to the empire, and the tribute to the other vassal states also shrank significantly.
Only Jiang Kingdom paid no more and no more tribute to the empire, and used a complete set of etiquette to set off the majesty of the empire.
This made it difficult for Jinghou to control the pulse of Jiang Kingdom. I wonder how to win over this powerful vassal state that was close to him.
Emperor Capital, Changhui Palace.
Jinghou, wearing the robe of the Fengluan Yunjin Emperor, lying on the couch in the bedroom, looking through the memorials delivered in the past few days. Through the gauze tent, you can see that Jinghou is only in his thirties, which is in his prime.
When I saw the memorial that I had to use the celestial phenomena to become emperor, Jing Hou couldn't help but smile and said, "These officials... are even more anxious than me in the matter of becoming emperor. Just now, the fifteenth day passed, and before the red moon had finished its retreat, I received more than ten such memorials.
I am the Queen of the Great Wei Empire. Although I did not give birth to a prince or a princess for the late emperor, his son is my son. As long as one of them has the ability to be a good emperor, can I, a mother, snatch the throne of my son?
They are so anxious!
None of the vassal kings made any statement. At this time, I made a statement to make me proclaim myself. Wouldn’t I betray me?"
A female official standing on the side of the couch said to the complaining queen: "Empress Dowager, there has been news about the birthday celebration of King Jiang from Zejun. Do you want to listen?"
"This old King Jiang is still alive..." After hearing the news about Jiang Kingdom, Empress Jing couldn't help but feel a little energetic and said to the female official: "Tell me, I heard that Jiang Kingdom made the celebration very lively, and even the scale tribe went to celebrate King Jiang's birthday... This is a treatment that even the emperor of the imperial world did not have.
Is there anything else about the treasure of the demon clan? Is it true?"
More than ten days have passed since the birthday celebration of King Jiang, and some of the events at the celebration have long been spread to the Imperial Capital. However, the specific situation still needs to be verified by professional intelligence agencies. After all, the information reported to Jinghou cannot be just heard by hearing, and some important matters must be investigated repeatedly.
So the female official carefully explained the accurate information sent from Zejun to the queen of the Jing Dynasty.
When Queen Jing listened to the information, her brows couldn't help but frowned tighter and tighter.
The eastern part of the Jiang Kingdom was calm because of the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Lin tribe; the western part ended a years-long confrontation with the Liang Kingdom. King Jiang appointed Zhou Shixiong as Duke of Jiguo in Guanhailou, obviously to attack the case of Gaobu, the Marquis of Zhennan in Bonan County.
While Bonan County was guarding the south bank of Taijiang for the Jiang Kingdom, the powerful military strength of Zhennan Hou was also deeply feared by the Jiang Kingdom. The four palace guards and imperial guards in Ze County had 100,000 elite troops, and the one who was guarding against Bonan County.
If Jiang Guo completely swallowed Bonan County, not only would Bonan elites be taken into account by Jiang Guo, but Jiang Guo would be completely liberated after he had no border problems.
For Jing Hou, if Jiang Guo can support him, it will definitely be a good thing for Jiang Guo to be strong; but if Jiang Guo’s opposition to him, then Jiang Guo’s army will be a big trouble.
Also about the treasures of the demon clan.
"The Queen Mother... Since the scale clan has not yet excavated the treasure, we cannot confirm the authenticity of this news. But all signs indicate that the treasure of the demon clan is under the Longtan Lake in Shuiyun Villa.
This is a treasure that everyone can imagine, and if the Empire can get it, all troubles will not be trouble."
The incident of the demon clan lurking in Zejun was brought over by a few simple words from the female official. In the eyes of the human race, the demon clan is really unable to get on the table at this time. The biggest enemy of the human race is the human race itself.
Queen Jing didn't care about the matter about the demon clan, and all her energy was on the Jiang Kingdom and the demon clan treasures.
If the Jiang Kingdom reached a consensus with the Scal Clan and allocated the treasures of the demon clan. Then, the Jiang Kingdom behind Bonan County really needs money and soldiers.
It's not as simple as a trouble.
"The treasure is the treasure of the entire human race. It does not belong to the Jiang Kingdom, nor to the Scales." Jing Hou thought for a while and said to the female official: "It should belong to the Empire... Tang Mi, I accept your order to go to the Jiang Kingdom as the empire's envoy, and give full authority to command the Jilefang in the Jiang Kingdom.
Ensure that the treasures of the demon clan will not fall into the hands of Jiang Guo and the scale clan.
Try to prevent the Jiang Kingdom from annexing Bonan County.
If you have enough energy, let Jiang Guo publicly express his support for me. It can be King Jiang or his successor."
The female official Tang Mi did not expect that Jing Hou would hand over such an important responsibility to her. She knelt down in panic and said, "Empress Dowager! This task has a heavy responsibility, and I am afraid I cannot be competent.
Ask the Queen Mother to send officials who are more capable than me."
Queen Jing yawned and said, "You have been with me for so many years. Do you have the ability... Don't I know yet? You should also experience it. This errand is done well. I will use it to you when I come back.
Go and prepare.
