Wherever King Fu's cavalry went, the government offices of various states were invincible. In less than three months, Yangcheng, a large city in the south of the Yangtze River, was in the hands of the rebels. King Fu summoned all the kings and ministers to discuss military and state affairs, and one official reported:
"A country cannot live without a master, and an army cannot live without a commander. I have occupied one of the three provinces in southern Guangdong. I see that the situation is over. The Northern Army will either surrender or die, and it has completely lost its ability to resist. At this time, I will no longer be afraid of the lieutenants of the army.
The complaints have dampened the morale of the army. I hope my lord will make a decision as soon as possible and ascend to the great treasure soon."
Fumu was secretly happy in his heart, he had been waiting for this day! He turned his head and asked all the princes, and they all said: "Brothers, please make your own decision, we will support you."
King Fu was overjoyed and ascended the throne in Yangcheng on x month x, xx year AD. He was named Emperor Tianle, and his country was named Xinghan. The remaining seven kings were still kings, and they would take turns as appropriate in the future. He worshiped Wang Fuguo, a great scholar, as the prime minister of the left.
Zhang Bangxian was appointed Prime Minister of the Right, Yao Qi was appointed Secretary of the Ministry of War, Hua Shixiong was granted the title of Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and Deputy Military Advisor, Nguyen Thi Mui was granted the title of first-class Protector of the Country, the officer was worshiped as the invincible heroine, and Dalingwen was appointed as the marching general of the country.
The commander-in-chief held the vanguard seal, and all the following civil and military officials were awarded rewards. He also granted a general amnesty to the whole country, opened prisons, opened warehouses and provided relief, and exempted and exempted taxes for half a year.
Based on merit and talent, Hua Shixiong could have been appointed prime minister. However, he had just arrived, and no one knew his details. Therefore, after careful consideration, Emperor Tianle and the princes and ministers finally decided to keep it. Moreover,
He also made a private clause that Hua Shixiong was not allowed to interfere in military affairs, but could only serve as a consultant. Of course Hua Shixiong himself knew this well, and pretended to be happy and went to the Hanlin Academy to read.
The whole court celebrated for several days, drinking wine, eating meat, beating gongs and drums, and setting off firecrackers. What should we do next, and where should we go? The king and his ministers looked at each other in the court hall, look at me,
I miss you, but I don’t know what to say.
Wang Fuguo, the Prime Minister of the Left, said: "We can still do a little to govern the country and secure the country. As for bringing peace to the world, scheming against each other and secretly plotting are not the actions of a gentleman, and we cannot do it."
Right Prime Minister Zhang Bangxian also said: "Wang Xiang and I suffer from the same disease. Literati quarrel and talk over pens. It's okay for me to write an article. When it comes to strategizing, we are laymen. We can't pretend to understand if we don't understand. We will miss the emperor's important events."
No one can afford it."
Emperor Tianle cursed in his heart: "These two losers!" He looked down the stage and said: "My dear friends, which one has a good plan?"
The court hall was completely silent for a moment. Several old ministers probably had bad trachea, and their wheezing sounds were like the muffled sound of several broken bellows, which was particularly harsh to the ears.
Yao Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "I recommend a person who is qualified for this position."
Tianle Emperor Long Yan was delighted and said: "It's okay for Yao Aiqing to speak frankly. Who do you mean to worry about the public?"
"I recommend Hua Shixiong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."
Emperor Tianle waved his hand to signal Yao Qi to join the queue. Then he sighed, shook his head, and said helplessly to himself: "Run a few laps in the field, and the mules and horses will immediately be distinguished!" Emperor Tianle, the toad king, opened his toad voice and said,
shouted:
"Hua Shixiong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, entered the court!"
With a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" under his arm, Hua Shixiong hurriedly entered the court hall, shouted "Long live", and then prostrated on the ground.
Emperor Tianle declared loudly: "Hua Aiqing is alive."
Hua Shixiong got up from the ground and searched all over the floor for his copy of "The Analects of Confucius". When he knelt down just now, he used too much force and the book was thrown out about five or six feet away and fell at the feet of a minister. The minister gently used his hand
Pushing his feet out, Hua Shixiong picked up the book, smiled at the minister, blew some dirt on it, patted the book, and still put it in his elbow. He looked at the civil and military teams on both sides and saw that there was no room for him, so he had to stand.
Go to the door.
"Hua Aiqing, come near." Emperor Tianle called kindly.
Hua Shixiong had no choice but to walk back to the place where he kowtowed just now.
Emperor Tianle said solemnly: "Hua Ai Qing, I will now make you the Marquis of Pingtian, the Founding Duke of the country, and give you a stick to beat the faint king at the top and the rebellious ministers at the bottom..."
Hua Shixiong fell to the ground again to thank him. This time he was extra careful. The book "The Analects of Confucius" fell just in front of his head. He knocked his head on the book, and the "bang bang" sound turned into a "pop bang" sound.
.
The civil and military officials in the court wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so they had to cover their mouths and remain silent, their faces turning red from holding it in.
Emperor Tianle said again: "Hua Aiqing is alive."
Hua Shixiong stood up and didn't know which team to join, so he had to retreat to the door. Fortunately, Emperor Tianle said in time:
"Hua Aiqing will stand behind Right Prime Minister Zhang Bangxian from now on!"
Hua Shixiong stood behind Zhang Bangxian.
After Hua Shixiong’s job title was confirmed, Emperor Tianle said:
"Hua Aiqing, what are your thoughts and plans regarding the current situation?"
Hua Shixiong talked eloquently and said: "Your Majesty, wherever our army went the day before yesterday, we attacked cities and plundered territory with overwhelming force. We captured thirty-six cities in just a few months. This is all thanks to your great blessing. The fact is
Prove that you are the destined emperor, great things are just around the corner, and the banner of prosperous Han Dynasty will be raised all over the world. Your Majesty, the current situation is in my humble opinion. It is better to hide one's strength and bide one's time to save one's strength. If you show your strength, you will definitely attract the Northern Army to suppress the territory. Yangcheng has always been a strategic place.
In this important place, Your Majesty, if you set up a battle formation here and decide the outcome with the main force of the Northern Army. If I lose, I can retreat to the Shiwan Mountains of Yunnan and Guangxi, accumulate troops, deal with the enemy, and then strive for hegemony. If I
If you win, you will go all out to attack the Dragon Court and achieve great achievements for a long time to come."
Emperor Tianle clapped his hands and said: "How wonderful, how wonderful. Hua Aiqing's words are exactly what I want."
Hua Shixiong added: "At present, our army is very tired due to continuous attacks and killings, so it is better to raise troops on the spot. For those soldiers who have made meritorious service in the battle, reward them with more money, wine and meat, and reward brave men! Outside the city
We can garrison troops, and we can also garrison troops inside and outside the city. If the barracks are not enough, some civilian houses can be requisitioned. The soldiers and civilians can live together in the same place, which shows that our soldiers and civilians are one family! In case the Northern Army invades the inner city, I will become an empty city.
."
Emperor Tianle nodded and said, "This is a wonderful plan. Hua Aiqing is a real genius! If you didn't follow me, sir, wouldn't it have delayed your bright future?"
Hua Shixiong bowed deeply and said: "Thousand-mile horses often exist, but bole does not always exist. It is my great fortune to meet a wise king."
In fact, based on the current war situation, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance. The anti-king army should take advantage of the Northern Army's refusal to reveal the truth and should make a quick decision to expand its territory and accumulate a large amount of manpower and material resources, so that it can form a full force with the powerful enemy army.
No matter how unlucky Cao Cao met Jiang Qian, Jiang Qian was even worse!
Emperor Tianle was overjoyed and acted according to the plan. The troops stationed outside the city took turns to enter the city. At the same time, he rewarded the three armies with lots of wine, meat and silver. Suddenly, drums and music were blaring inside and outside the Yangcheng City, and there was endless laughter and laughter.
