At the end of March, the atmosphere was very solemn, although the ordinary Cao Xiaoguan did not know what was going on, but he could also see that the expressions of the respective officials were dignified, so the atmosphere of the whole stage was a little depressed.

In the past few days, frequent meetings have been held in the Xingtai, which can be said to have something to do with the military, but in fact it has little to do with it. However, the shock brought to the entire Xingtai was actually greater than the military victory or defeat.

The cause of the incident was very simple, from a report submitted to Taiwan by Huan Xuan, the main general of the Hongnong front. In addition to Huan Xuan's own complaint about the military situation, this report was also mixed with a letter from Chang'an, and the author of the letter was Du Hong, who was currently stealing from Chang'an.

If that were all there was to it, there would be nothing worth mentioning. As early as Wang Shi ran Tongguan, there was no shortage of letters from Guanzhong Haoyou, especially with the beginning of the westward expedition at the end of last year, Wang Shi's achievements were amazing, and the daily letters received by the Hongnong front line were more like snowflakes, which naturally included this Du Hong.

As the leader elected by Jing Zhaohao and the temporary master of Chang'an, Du Hong not only submitted a letter to the Hongnong front, but also submitted a letter to Xingtai, and even directly sent people to bypass Luoyang Xingtai last winter and directly sent an envoy to Jiankang. It's just that he hasn't arrived in Jiankang yet, and he was detained in Liyang.

The content of his submission is actually similar, nothing more than no idea of being an enemy with Wang Shi, even if he occupies Chang'an, it is because of the situation, the nostalgia cannot be disappointed, and so on. In and out of words, Duo Chen is helpless, of course, the main meaning is to bargain.

In the face of Wang Shi's surging offensive last year and the continuous preparation and pressure this year, Du Hong himself did not have the confidence to defend, and there was no need to hold on.

At present, the strength and weakness are clear, and Jing Zhaohao actually knows that the reason why they are still stealing Chang'an and not returning to obedience is actually because of the attitude of Xingtai. Xingtai has never made it clear that if these people surrender, what kind of arrangements and treatment will they receive, just blindly exerting pressure.

The previous collapse of the Hongnong Yang clan also made these Jing Zhaohao rightists dare not easily open their arms to welcome the king's order. In this case, Du Hong, as the leader of Jing Zhaohao's right, has the second function of attacking or defending the war, and the most important thing is to be responsible for negotiating with Xingtai on behalf of these Jing Zhaohao strongmen.

But Xingtai has never responded positively to the guarantee, which also makes Jing Zhaohao feel anxious. Especially with the large-scale construction and operation of Hongnong, Shangluo, Hedong and other places, and the gradual growth of the river after the beginning of spring, the atmosphere of the war has become more and more solemn, and a considerable number of Sanfu Haoqiang can not stand this pressure and take the initiative to surrender.

As for the rest of those who are still on the sidelines, most of them no longer dare to live in the countryside and resist the Wang Shi who is about to make a big advance, so they lead the troops to gather around Chang'an and huddle together to keep warm.

From the point of view of the line, there is naturally no need for negotiations, and even in this westward expedition, these powerful people are not the main enemies at all. If they can be interesting and surrender obediently, it will be fine, if they still have to resist stubbornly, they can be defeated directly.

Therefore, the previous plan was to sweep and uproot the various forces around Chang'an one by one, especially the Xiongnu puppet Han and some other miscellaneous forces in the north, and then all the armies went straight to Chang'an.

His own demands have not been responded to and satisfied for a long time, and probably Du Hong is also angry or jumping off the wall in a hurry, so some changes have occurred in Hongnong this time. However, this change directly blew up the nest.

Du Hong's own letters have nothing to say, nothing more than the long-term chaos in Guanzhong, the fierce customs of the people, since the appeal is not possible, he is not afraid of the First World War and other fierce rhetoric. But the fatal must be in addition to the letter, with a separate edict.

Yes, the edict!

Du Hong is not a king or a prince, because he has been seeking peace before, so he has not transgressed the system, but he suddenly threw out an edict, which is really puzzling. When it comes to the origin of this edict, it is even more tortuous.

The author of this edict is Sima Ye, the last emperor of the Chinese Dynasty, who was killed by the Han lord Liu Cong since Chang'an surrendered to Han Zhao, and has been dead for more than 20 years, and even the body has been welcomed back to Jiangdong for many years.

In short, this is an edict, as for where the edict came from, Du Hong also gave a seemingly detailed and reasonable explanation in the letter: in Hu Kou Guanzhong, Sima Ye chose to surrender to Liu Yao in desperation, devoured his arms and sucked blood, wrote an edict, sewed it into his robe and handed it over to his attendants to take out, and circulated outside. It wasn't until recently that this blood edict was revealed from the old clothes.

Therefore, this is an edict with twists and turns in fate, and it is also an edict with clothes!

The original blood edict, Du Hong naturally could not send it easily, but the content was also recorded, and he ordered someone to submit a letter to Hongnong, and then sent it to the line.

The content of the blood edict is righteous that the emperor is ashamed that he can't protect the ancestral industry, and he is humiliated by the slaughter of all kinds of ugly people, but fortunately, there is still the clan elder Langya King Sima Rui in Jiangdong to inherit the order, and then prosper Jin Zuo.

The book also instructed King Langya in a very earnest tone, although the guest sent the Jiang table, but don't be disheartened, to be deeply hated by the country, know how to select talents, as for those Wu people in Jiangdong, don't use it because they grow in remote places. The Wu people are bloody, as long as they are gracious, in another ten years, there will definitely be heroes who will come out bravely and generously restore the royal industry.

In addition, the book carefully told Sima Rui not to be carried away by anger and rush to counterattack and take revenge, especially not to rush to attack the fortified position far away, because Hu Shi is still very strong here, and he is worried that King Langya will take revenge and bury the last bit of Jin Zuo's inheritance.

"Guanzhong is in turmoil, Hu has been trapped for a long time, Wang Yi should be cautious, if the teacher is lightly dispatched, there will be disaster...... Soon after the Jin industry, the king's sin was also ......"

From these words, it can also be seen that Sima Ye, a young man, is also quite open-minded and optimistic, in order to prevent Sima Rui from committing a crime, he painstakingly advised him not to rush to revenge.

As for Guanzhong's side, there is no need to worry, Tu all the clowns steal evidence with Hulu's qualifications, and it will definitely not last long. At that time, there will naturally be three auxiliary hearts to the heroes of Jin Zuo to flock to overthrow Hu Lu's rule and let Guanzhong bathe in the glory of the royal road again.

And warned King Langya that he must remember that when the time comes, he must not be stingy with the reward, so as not to make the righteous man's teeth cold. Even if someone stops it because of this, it must be because they are worried that their own merits and power will be diluted, and they are by no means the pillars of the Jin industry, but the national thief who steals the king's life and dictates himself.

Because he was worried that the king of Langya did not know what position to reward these righteous people, the edict also thoughtfully listed various reward specifications at the end, such as sweeping away Hulu and recovering Guanzhong, which should be crowned with Da Sima and the founding of the county, and the rest of the categories are also uneven and orderly.

Now the national weapon is presented to the king of Langya, I hope that the king of Langya can be committed to this, if there is a breach of trust, it is a breach of trust in the world, and Sima Ye will not be happy in the yellow spring. And once this happens, there will definitely be chaos in the world at that time, and the Mandate of Heaven will no longer take care of the Jin family, and the people of the world will laugh at the Sima family's lack of kindness.

All this is absurd to the extreme. So when this letter was delivered to Xingtai, Shen Zhezi also flipped through it a little with the mood of reading jokes, but he just sighed that this Du Hong was very interesting, and his brain was not small.

As for the directivity of the so-called edict in the form of edicts, it is not something that makes people overly reverie when there is no spread of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although it is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is just a little trick made by Dong Cheng, the remnant of the Western Liang, who is not angry with the Han Emperor and the power belongs to the Cao family, and it is far from being so righteous and awe-inspiring, bright and majestic as rendered by the romance of later generations.

And Shen Zhezi suspected that Du Hong might not have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so it should be just a coincidence.

Such a suicide note and blood edict can be seen by anyone as fake, and the wording alone is full of loopholes, even if it is circulated outside, people who really have a little discernment ability will not believe it.

What's more, now that Guanzhong is in sight, even if this edict is true, Shen Zhezi will only obey a will that has been dead for more than 20 years because of his broken brain. Don't talk about Emperor Sima Ye, even the Yuan Emperor Sima Rui, and even the emperor's edict of the current emperor, are all put aside.

He wiped his ass for the Sima family and cleaned up the world, and he would not honor any empty checks. If you really want to be named the Great Sima, go to Huangquan to find Sima Ye to ask for it.

So this simple pseudo-edict is actually not a big problem, but soon Shen Zhezi noticed that something was wrong. Du Hong, this little bastard, opened his brain, in order to reflect the legitimacy of his edict, he emphatically marked that the seal used to sign the inscription is the jade seal of the country!

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity; Maybe add a sentence about the national seal of the Great Wei Dynasty by the Han Dynasty. What the real heirloom jade seal looks like, in fact, Shen Zhezi doesn't know, and this is exactly the problem.

The Jiangdong Imperial Court regarded itself as the orthodoxy of Jin Zuo, but the jade seal that represented the "order of heaven" did not!

The so-called beating people is not a slap in the face, maybe Du Hong himself didn't realize this problem, but he just opened his mind for a while and made a playful prank. But in the eyes of the ministers in Xingtai, this is a naked slap in the face, ridiculing the Jiangdong court for claiming to be orthodox, but in fact, it is just a tabula rasa who does not have the jade seal of the country in hand!

Moreover, this matter is not only limited to the gains and losses of Chang'an and the life and death of Du Hong, but once it spreads and causes a big turmoil, it will also raise questions about the legitimacy of the legal system of the Jiangdong Imperial Court. Especially for Shen Zhezi, a powerful minister who is in Luoyang and controls the government remotely, it will cause a worse impact, he was originally a second landlord, but the fucking landlord has no property rights!

Du Hong's creation of false edicts is just a superficial application, and it is nothing in itself. However, if this one shortcoming is learned by others, it will create a lot of unnecessary confusion.

It is true that people should have basic wisdom to make a living in troubled times, but the wisdom of the people should not be overestimated. A very simple example is the death of Zhang Wei, the father of Zhang Jun in Liangzhou, where the Jingzhao Warlock claimed that Tianyu Shenxi and Ying Wang Liangzhou incited Zhang Yu's generals to kill his master.

It's obviously a ridiculous reason, but sometimes it can be manipulated by people with a heart into a very grotesque result. What's more, the jade seal of the country is indeed in exile. If Wang Ye only lived in Jiangdong before, this problem would not be too big, but now that he has reached this point, he must be prepared to deal with such hidden dangers.

Therefore, during this period of time, the officials of Xingtai, especially Xie Shang, He Yu and other people who were in charge of the ceremony, were racking their brains to think about how to minimize the adverse effects of this matter.

For Shen Zhezi, this matter is very simple, originally he still had a little tenderness for Chang'an, but because this Du Hong died by himself, he had to take the most bloody and drastic means to kill all the people involved. Through bloody cruelty, to deter the conspirators of the present and the future.

At the same time, he also remembered another thing, so that people Feishu sent a letter to the front-line commander Huan Xuan, after conquering Chang'an, he sent the Fenwu army west to Longdao, and ordered Liangzhou to change the name of the Qitai era as soon as possible.
