Part Four Four Seas Distressed Anti-Zheng Alliance Chapter 121 Conferring King Zheng
"Did you find out clearly?" Qingmeng couldn't believe his ears, because he got a piece of bombshell news from the spy - the emperor of the empire was killed by Xiao Lu, a minister.
"Sir, it's true. Yang Min has prepared all the matters, and a memorial ceremony may be held tonight."
When Qing Meng heard this news, he felt so happy. He knew that Xiao Lu's regicide just catered to his slogan of "Qing Jun's side". In addition, Yang Min was stupid and loyal, so it was only a matter of time before he entered Beijing.
The Zheng Alliance will also be broken because it has lost its spiritual backbone.
"Immediately buy white clothes and white armor. If it's too late, prepare more white cloth, so that the warrior Yang Min can recognize me as his escort!" Qing Meng continued with the arrangements. If he had known that this would happen, the previous head-on confrontation would have seemed redundant.
Bunguguan Memorial Ceremony
It can be said that the momentum here is moving, and the mourning is thousands of miles away. A shocking suona goes straight into the sky. Officials and people all wrap their heads in white cloth and kneel facing the north. Yang Min puts on white clothes all over, grins widely and wails bitterly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty
ah!!!"
Even when his sister died, Yang Min was not in such pain. All he could think about was the country and the emperor. When the emperor died, it was equivalent to the whole sky falling.
However, except for him, no one is crying sincerely...
"Wow wow wow wow wow!" Yang Min burst into tears, and her saliva flowed uncontrollably on the ground, forming a puddle. A sharp pain arose spontaneously, irritating the tiger general's whole body, and his eyes were almost red and swollen.
Yang Min yelled in a hoarse voice: "I can't beg for your majesty! I have to die to apologize!" After saying that, he pulled out the sharp sword on the side and was about to kill himself. Wei Zhongcheng hurriedly stopped him: "General, please don't be stupid!"
"Min was a warrior in the wilderness, and he is where he is today thanks to your majesty's support. Your majesty has been killed by thieves, so how can Min have the dignity to live in this world?" Yang Min was heartbroken and kept beating her chest with her hammers.
Wei Zhongcheng reluctantly persuaded him: "The regicide is Xiao Luye. What does he have to do with the general? I hope the general can protect his body well so that he can share the worries of the court and the country!"
At this point, Yang Min finally calmed down, dropped the sword in his hand, and burst into tears.
"Report to the general!" The soldiers guarding the city ran over quickly: "Zhang Qingmeng bought white clothes and white armor, set up a memorial platform outside the city, led a group of counselors and generals to cry bitterly, and asked the general to go and answer..."
Yang Min wiped his tears. He didn't expect that Qingmeng would actually do the same thing. Anyway, he had to learn from it first.
Before he walked onto the city wall, he heard Bai Xiao wrapped in Qing Meng, kneeling in front of the city gate and shouting heartbreakingly: "Yang Min! The reason why His Majesty was killed was because of your constant obstruction, which led to today's disaster.
What are your intentions? What crime do you deserve!!!"
These words that hit the soul touched Yang Min's heart, and he couldn't help but think: "It was Min who was wrong... It was Min who was wrong... It was Min who misunderstood Zhang Qingmeng. Zhang Qingmeng really wanted to go to Beijing to beg for thieves, but I was...
Xiao Lu was playing around, I..." Thinking of this, he roared angrily, punched half of the city to pieces, and cried bitterly again.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qingmeng is just following the trend and taking advantage of the situation. But how can Yang Min, who has a simple personality, understand this? He has already determined in his heart that Zhang Qingmeng is just like himself - they are both loyal and good ministers of the Taiwei Empire.
"Open the door!!!! Let Mr. Zheng enter Bugu Pass!!!" Yang Min roared, and the soldiers opened the city gate in a panic.
Wei Zhongcheng felt a burst of joy in his heart. Zhang Qingmeng's entry into the capital was exactly what the big families wanted to see. After all, he was born in the Zhang family of Donghai, so he would naturally gain benefits for the big families. He was much better than Xiao Lu, who had no power or background. So.
They secretly instigated the emperor's rebellion, then forced Xiao Lu to do something treasonous and unethical, and finally asked Zhang Qingmeng to lead troops into Beijing. This method was not unwise.
"If Shangguan Qing hadn't been ignorant, Xiao Lu would have been eliminated a long time ago." Wei Zhongcheng thought to himself that this young boy could not be kept. As long as he said a few words in front of Zhang Qingmeng, he would definitely die.
After entering the city, Qing Meng cried until she almost fell into coma. Yang Min further strengthened her idea and sent someone to send a message to Zhao Fuli, telling Yu Jitao and others to let Xiu Shan go and go to Beijing together to arrange the funeral arrangements.
Under the escort of Yang Min, Qingmeng entered the capital without any effort, settled all the forces, and held a state funeral for nearly a week. Then he drafted a posthumous title with Taichang Qing Lu Hui.
According to "Yi Zhou Shu", the posthumous title refers to the deeds of the emperor. Judging from the deeds of Emperor Taili in his life, most of them were based on obedience to the opinions of the ministers. Cihe obeyed and said "Shun", so he was posthumously named Emperor Shun of the Taiwei Empire, that is,
Taiwei Shundi.
With the support of Zhang Qingmeng, Yang Min, and other major families, the ten-year-old Tai Buran, the son of Queen Yin, ascended the throne and was given the title of Zhaode and a general amnesty. Under an imperial edict, the anti-Zheng alliance collapsed in an instant, and Lou Ning
He was able to return home safely.
palace hall
A group of courtiers, led by Zhang Qingmeng, kowtowed and knelt before the young new emperor, shouting long live the mountain. The Queen Mother Yin sat behind the curtain, while the young emperor sat on a dragon chair that was several times his size, looking uncomfortable.
At the suggestion of the ministers, various degrees of rewards were given to a group of soldiers who were "Qingjun side". Zhang Qingmeng was granted the title of King Zheng, Jiuxi, and the post of prime minister, with the right to bring a sword to court and deal with others at will.
Zuo Wen was released again and escorted to the countryside, but was not hired for the time being.
Yang Min always felt guilty and strongly asked the emperor to punish him, but in the end he only withheld his salary for half a year and withdrew his title as King of Qin. In order to continue to be loyal to the court, he joined the shogunate of Qingmeng.
Another month passed, when Qingmeng had completely appeased the old forces in the court, he followed Yu Jitao's advice and tried his best to improve the relationship with the major families. He even condescended to the official family just to meet the man who dared to speak out.
Criticism.
They met the elder first, and then exchanged a few words with his father Shangguan. Then they followed the others and went to the backyard to look for Shangguan Qing.
"Sir, the young master is lying on the boulder drinking!" The maid came to report in a panic, and Shangguan Tong immediately retorted: "Zhang Zui! Qing'er has always been a clean person and has never drank alcohol. How could he be like this today when the Prime Minister came to visit?
rude?"
When they entered the garden, what they saw was just as the maid said - they saw Shangguan Qing lying on the boulder with a decadent face, holding a gourd of wine in his right hand and pouring wine into his mouth, like a madman.
"Qing'er!" His mother came up to her with heartache: "Qing'er, why are you like this?" Shangguan Tong blushed anxiously: "The Prime Minister came to my humble residence, why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"
When Shangguan Qing heard this, he laughed miserably: "Father! It was you who slandered Zhang Qingmeng at first, but now you are the one who welcomes Zhang Qingmeng. Qing'er doesn't know what to do..."
"You" Shangguan Tong winked: "When have I ever slandered the Prime Minister? I have done a lot to fight against the thieves!"
"What on earth is this for?" Shangguan Qing paused for a moment, then said sadly: "What on earth is this for?"
Qingmeng didn't know what to do, so she turned to Yu Jitao for help, but Yu Jitao just smiled and didn't give any reply.
"No matter what, it's you! No matter Yang Min or Zhang Qingmeng, no one can help the imperial court. They are just holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. Why on earth did this dark world become like this?" Shangguan Qing asked.
He was drunk and asked loudly.
"Come on, kill me! I have been trying to protect Xiao Lu, just to defeat you one day! But I was wrong. I thought the whole court was too beautiful. This is my fault. Isn't today the right time to defeat you?
Do you want to take me to the prison? Then, let's go quickly!" Shangguan Qing had already made up his mind and stretched out his hands to wait for the shackles.
What was unexpected was that Qing Meng was holding the official uniform of the remonstrating officer. As the prime minister, he knelt down on one knee, bent down to the rude boy, and presented the official uniform to him: "Sir, you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Heart, heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can be used as a guide! Although Qingmeng has no talent or virtue, he is still willing to put the world and the country as the most important. I request you, sir, to serve as an official in the court again. You and I will work together to assist your majesty, clear up the jade world, stabilize the nine provinces, and the country will be blessed! The people of the world will be blessed!
Very lucky!"
Yu Jitao smiled and nodded, unfolded his osmanthus folding fan, and retreated behind the crowd.
Shangguan Qing looked at Qingmeng in disbelief, having already half woken up from drinking. This man gave him an indescribable sense of reliability, as if he saw the dawn of the entire world in him.
He stepped off the boulder, lifted Qing Meng who was kneeling on one knee, stared into his eyes and said: "I have been waiting for that person, the person who can clear away the darkness of the court and bring light to the world. Now it seems that I
Found it!" Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, forgetting all their hatred.
After that, Shangguan Qingguan was reinstated, and Qingmeng was also trying his best to fulfill his promise, and began to vigorously rectify the government and clean up the corruption in the court. The great heroes in the world did not dare to act rashly and restrained each other. The entire Central Plains gained a long-lost peace.
Peace.
Until this time, Qingmeng missed his biological son again, and now everything was settled. He felt that it was time to take his son back. As for the old Confucian saying that he could not meet him before he was twenty years old, it had long been
He forgot about it. Now, he ordered Yu Jitao to take full responsibility for the matter and vowed to find the only son in the country.
At this time, Zhang Junsheng was studying in seclusion with an old Confucian. It was not until five years later at the age of twelve that he entered the world for the first time, and would adventure and grow up with the companions he met. But these are all stories later...
