On the day of Fuling, the weather was still as cold as ever.
Between the sky and the earth, there is chaos, and the cold wind blows the white curtains and flags. The coffin of the first emperor is very extravagant, surrounded by gold, silver and jewels, and tied with white silk and satin. A finely crafted work of art.
Jiang Pengji was wearing a loose and neat court dress, and watched the funeral in an orderly manner with indifference.
The national treasury is empty, and there are a lot of debts. Many officials say that everything should be kept simple, but traces of extravagance can be seen everywhere.
There was no other sound except the false weeping, the hunting of banners in the cold wind, the footsteps of the people, and the snorting of horses. Jiang Pengji followed the command of the master of ceremonies, mixed among the courtiers, with an indifferent expression like a delicate porcelain doll.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, she is multitasking, watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.
The funeral of an emperor, even the funeral of an emperor in an extraordinary period, is of great significance to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Listening to the conversations of the audience, it seems that the funeral was specially rebroadcasted by the TV station.
Jiang Pengji kept an eye on her nose, her nose on her heart, and passed the time by the barrage in the live broadcast room, occasionally speaking a few words.
Sending the emperor's coffin to the temple, just about to carry out the last few steps, Jiang Pengji heard the sound of horseshoes running in the distance.
She secretly moved her gaze outside, and vaguely saw a soldier in armor hastily dismounted, holding a bamboo slip in his hand.
problem occurs?
Jiang Pengji was furrowing her eyebrows when someone else discovered the movement of the messenger soldier. The emcee of the funeral was the royal family, so his expression suddenly darkened.
The surrounding officials whispered to each other and talked a lot, while Jiang Pengji calmed down and listened to the conversation between Xin Bing and Zongzheng Zhongchen and others.
"What—King Changshou is enthroned today outside Chenzhou? Proclaim himself emperor?"
The complexions of many courtiers turned black into the bottom of the pot, did King Changshou do this on purpose?
Why did he choose to worship the heavens and proclaim himself emperor on the day when the first seven days of the first emperor's coffin stopped?
It's clear that he wants to slap someone in the face!
"...how should we deal with it now?"
No one thought,
King Changshou was so courageous that he proclaimed himself emperor directly.
"What else can I do? Naturally, I want to find a way to stabilize the hearts of the people, and then integrate the troops to fight against the rebels."
"...But, if we mobilize troops, I'm afraid it's not the enemies of King Changshou and the Meng family of Cangzhou..."
"King Qin's allied army has more than 400,000 troops, why can't we clean up the thieves like King Changshou?" An old official didn't care at all.
"That's right, I can't kill a thief with 400,000 troops? You think that King Changshou is too powerful."
They are the orthodox ones. If the reputation of King Changshou is not right, they are thieves who everyone can get and punish.
As soon as he made a call, people of insight all over the world could crusade against him.
Fighting in this era pays attention to a "teacher who is famous". When King Changshou besieged Chenzhou, he also used the name of "the Qing emperor's side and the evil sycophant". He didn't want to fight whoever he wanted. In a volume of proclamations, people all over the world beat Changshou King, and they are all famous teachers.
In the same way, fighting a war does not mean that you can win every battle if you learn from a famous teacher.
Many veterans only see their own interests, and don't consider the reality at all, which is somewhat taken for granted.
King Changshou didn't dare to confront the allied forces head-on, because they couldn't afford it.
In the same way, the Allied forces are in a state of disunity, and they don't want to force it.
Although a bit "stupid and sweet", all the ministers know that now they have to support the allied princes and cannot contradict them.
After the funeral was over, the news of King Changshou's accession to the throne spread, and many people frowned.
Some people scolded King Changshou severely, some remained silent, and there were also some people who were in the middle of it.
Jiang Pengji looked at the various states of beings and couldn't stop laughing.
"There are so many dramas going on in the past few days. Guess what King Changshou will do next?"
Feng Zhen sneered and said, "Mostly it is to divide the allied forces and cause everyone to have a rift. According to the original plan of King Changshou, he should have captured the emperor, forced the emperor to abdicate, and then selected the princes of King Qin's allied forces to appease them one by one. Internally divide the allied forces. Now that the first emperor passed away, King Changshou's wishful thinking is gone. He can only proclaim himself emperor, and then use the name of emperor to add titles to the allied princes. The lord also knows that there are many discords among the allied forces. Many people have the stinky virtue of being a mother if they have a milk, maybe they can really win them over."
Yang Si nodded in agreement, and said, "However, King Changshou's move is beneficial and not harmful to the lord."
Jiang Pengji fought for the position of Maruzhou Shepherd for herself, and also planned to disclose the identity of the woman. Whether the court agrees or not, the chances are fifty-fifty.
However, with the matter of King Changshou, the imperial court had no choice but to agree, and could only pinch its nose and seal a woman as the shepherd of Maruzhou.
why?
Because if the imperial court offended Jiang Pengji, wouldn't they be worried that King Changshou would sneak in and poach the Liu family away?
If the Meng family defected, the imperial city of Chenzhou would be looted, and if the Liu family came again, the Dongqing court would not be able to withstand turmoil.
Even if they know that the Liu family and the Meng family on Changshou Wang's side are dirty, there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests.
As long as the benefits still exist, are there still few examples of turning hostility into friendship?
Jiang Pengji laughed, "I know the truth."
The results of the competition for the next emperor came out, and the winner was the eldest son of the crown princess and the eldest grandson of the first emperor.
Upon hearing the news, Wu Mashang, the magistrate of Hu County, looked gloomy like the black paint on the coffin.
He has been jumping around these days to win over his allies, how could he know that these people deserve to be well on the surface, but they stabbed him behind their backs.
Wu Mazan thought that the next emperor would be his, but he didn't expect that it would end up with a little boy who was only eleven years old.
No matter how angry he is, the result cannot be changed.
Even if Wu Mashang wanted to follow the example of King Changshou in rebelling, there were allied troops stationed outside the city, so he had no chance of winning.
After the first seven funerals, the enthronement ceremony for the young emperor followed immediately.
The young emperor was eleven years old, his body looked thin and thin, his eyes were full of fear of strangers, looking at timid people.
Although it was a grand enthronement ceremony, it was far less luxurious than the late emperor's funeral, and even appeared hasty and simple.
The emperor was wearing an ill-fitting uniform and a crown on his head. With cramped steps, he took the hand of the empress dowager and walked to the dragon chair...
Jiang Pengji glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and she felt that what an audience member said made sense.
[Nie Beiling]: Alas, the mother is strong and the son is weak. It looks like the enthronement ceremony of the empress dowager, but the little emperor has become a foil instead.
The empress dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, and the young emperor became a show.
After ascension to the throne, the next link is the most anticipated reward of the allied princes.
Although their contribution is not very great, they are also part of the Allied Forces. Others eat meat, so they are not allowed to drink soup?
According to the official statement, the person who contributed the most this time was Xu Pei, who was well dispatched and commanded, and the first-class credit, followed by Liu Xi, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, and Yang Jian, the captain of Dongmen County, Zhangzhou. In the midst of embarrassment, I recorded the first-class credit.
