Chapter 222 222.The Emperor
After the Qi State and the Chu State joined forces, they entered the imperial capital Luoyang together.
Out of this Song City, they arrived at the imperial capital Luoyang, and the guards in Luoyang looked at the Qi army and the Chu army under the city, and sighed in their hearts.
Back then, the royal family commanded the world, and the princes of the world respected the royal family, and the princes didn't come to Luoyang City with generous gifts, who dared to go with the army? I don't know how to die even if I'm afraid of death.
But as time passed, the princes became bigger and bigger, and the emperor became weaker and weaker, and this situation was slowly broken, and the princes came to show the emperor's muscles.
The tribute to the emperor is getting less and less year by year, and the emperor does not dare to give them to go, if the princes dare to give the emperor less tribute, I am afraid that it will not be long before the emperor orders other princes to beat him......
The current royal family also nominally ordered the princes, and no princes took him seriously in their hearts......
Then the gate of Luoyang City opened, Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai entered the imperial city of Luoyang, and after entering Luoyang, Qi Xiaobai sighed.
Although the royal family is in decline, Luoyang is still very prosperous, and Luoyang, the first metropolis of the empire, is well deserved.
After the Chu army and the Qi army followed Qi Xiaobai into Luoyang City, Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai asked them to find an open place to station.
This Luoyang City is huge, there are still a lot of open spaces, and when Emperor Zhou Ren was at the funeral, Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai were letting the army enter the imperial city.
Speaking of the imperial city, I had to sigh for the emperor again, back then, people outside were not allowed to bring weapons when they entered the imperial city, but now that the princes enter the imperial city, isn't that a sword or sword on their waists? Now it is nothing to bring a sword and a sword, and it is popular for princes to enter the imperial city with their armies.
After Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai came to Luoyang City, they had to meet the new emperor 'Emperor Zhou Shengdi'!
At this time in the palace, a young girl wearing a yellow dragon robe looked at the loving woman in front of her: "Mother! ”
The woman looked at the young girl and sighed in her heart, the girl was so young, and the responsibility of the empire was about to be entrusted to her.
After the death of Emperor Zhou Ren, this Shang inherited the throne, of course, it was not that Emperor Zhou Ren had no sons, but that the sons of Emperor Zhou Ren refused to inherit the throne.
They all knew how Emperor Zhou Ren died, which was forced to death by King Wei, and this ascension to the throne was due to a lot of anger from the princes, and there was no feeling of being the co-lord of the world at all.
Therefore, the sons all refused to succeed to the throne, but the emperor could not be left alone, so he could only put the heavy responsibility on this powerless little daughter Ji Mingyue.
And Ji Mingyue's mother is also the most powerless in the royal family, so one of their mother and daughter was pushed to the position of the nominal supreme ruler of the empire, and the other became the queen mother!
At the bottom of the palace, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao Su and said, "Duke Qi Huan and King Chu Huai are here to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Let them in!" Xiao Su said to Shen Jiang.
Shen Jiang is the prime minister of the empire, he has just taken office, this is mainly because the relationship between Xiao Shu and Shen Jiang is not ordinary, Xiao Shu has a lot of trust in Shen Jiang, so as soon as Emperor Zhou Shengdi became the successor, Shen Jiang was promoted to the minister of the empire.
And Zhou Dan, another minister of the empire, feels that it doesn't matter, one more minister can also share the pressure for him, so why not do it for him?
Afraid of falling out of favor? If he hadn't seen the situation clearly back then, and wanted to serve the empire, otherwise he would have left Luoyang City to join a certain prince, maybe it would be more than ten times better than now.
Now that he is older, Zhou Dan no longer has the ambition of being a general when he was young, and now he just wants to live a good old age and watch his children and grandchildren grow up.
Although the imperial family of the empire is in decline, Luoyang City is the safest city in the empire, after all, the princes attack each other, only Luoyang City, they dare not attack, Luoyang City can be said to be far away from the war!
Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai came to the palace, Qi Xiaobai looked at Emperor Zhou Ji Mingyue, and then was stunned, the appearance of Emperor Zhou made Qi Xiaobai think of his first love, that sweet and beautiful love......
Shen Jiang looked at the two of them without any benefit: "Why don't you two kneel when you see the emperor?" What do you think of imperial power? ”
Shen Jiang's words made King Chu Huai stunned, when Emperor Zhou Ren succeeded to the throne, he also came, and Emperor Zhou Ren also let King Chu Huai kneel, but at that time he gave up because of the prevention of the imperial prime minister.
King Chu Huai looked at Shen Jiang: "What are you?" Dare me kneel too? ”
"I'm asking you to kneel to the emperor?" Shen Jiang yelled at King Chu Huai.
And King Chu Huai had already pulled out the knife, the essence of the barbarian was exposed, Emperor Ji Mingyue was stunned when he saw it, his body trembled a little, Qi Xiaobai saw Ji Mingyue's scared look, and stopped King Chu Huai: "Why should my brother be angry?" ”
"Do you want to rebel?" Shen Jiang said angrily.
And Zhou Dan, who came to see the emperor at this time, saw this scene, and hurriedly scolded him in fright: "Shenjiang, what are you doing?" ”
Zhou Dan scolded in his heart, this Shenjiang is loved by the Queen Mother, it's just a matter of looking for his own things, he doesn't care, this is to find some fun for his ordinary life, but what is Nima doing with King Chu Huai's affairs?
Who is King Chu Huai? That's what you Shen Jiang can mess with?
Zhou Danjue's princes in the world are only the king of Chu can not be provoked, when an emperor was killed, that is, he offended the state of Chu, and the state of Chu vividly interpreted the characteristics of the barbarians.
"King Huai, Shen Jiang, he has just become the prime minister, it is inevitable that there is no one in his eyes, and he hopes that King Huai will take care of him!" After Zhou Dan finished speaking, he forcibly pulled Shen Jiang away.
Although this Shen Jiang is not dealing with him, Zhou Dan does not want this Shen Jiang to die here like this, he believes that if Shen Jiang and King Chu Huai argue, it will only be Shen Jiang who will die?
As for revenge for Shen Jiang? I'm afraid that the Queen Mother doesn't have the ability to do this, if the Queen Mother wants to use the guards to keep King Chu Huai here, he will desperately stop it.
If King Chu Huai died in Luoyang, Zhou Dan believed that this Chu State would definitely take the risk of being attacked by the princes and would use the Song State to break through Luoyang, slaughter the city of Luoyang, and avenge King Chu Huai.
The Empress Dowager looked at King Chu Huai and felt a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything, she also knew the current situation of the empire, and the princes didn't take the royal family in their eyes at all.
"Why did you two come to see the Emperor?" Xiao Shu looked at Qi Xiaobai and Chu Huai Wang Xiong Huai and asked.
Qi Xiaobai said: "We just came to meet the new emperor and say hello to the new emperor!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Xiao Chou, although Xiao Chou was over forty years old, she exuded an innate aristocratic temperament, and in addition, her figure was white and tender, and her face was good, which made Qi Xiaobai also a little deeply fascinated.
However, Qi Xiaobai knows that this Xiao Su is not something that Qi Xiaobai can get if he says it, after all, she is the queen mother, the emperor's woman, and compared to Xiao Shu, Qi Xiaobai is more interested in Ji Mingyue, maybe this Xiao Shu will be his mother-in-law in the future.
