Chapter 530: Si Chen
"It's like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the land is so clean and white!"
Standing on the gatehouse, looking at Shangqiu and the city, Zhao Wuxian only said this sentence.
This is the whole city in the Song Dynasty to serve the national mourning, the mourning of the Son of Heaven, the people of the country have to serve 9981 days, and the mourning of the princes can only be lifted in 7749 days. But at the same time, it was also a collective funeral for the nobles of the Song Kingdom.
In just two months, the Song Dynasty was like harvesting millet at the beginning of autumn, planting wheat at the autumn equinox, and changing the grain in the field one after another.
Three days have passed since Zhao Wuxian led his army into Shangqiu City, the situation has stabilized, and all the remnants of the rebellious party have been swept away. But after the chaos, the foundation of the rule of the Song State, the ten rooms and six empty rooms of the Qing Doctor's house, and the count of the remnants of the Song nobles afterwards is simply staggering.
Not only was the monarch killed, but among his four younger brothers, Da Situ Gongzi did not escape the pursuit of the cavalry after the defeat of Meng Zhu and became a prisoner; Gongzichen died directly in the rout of the left wing, and after the fact, it was Yu Xi's great achievement, and their family members barely survived the crazy revenge of Song Gong, and even the young son was stuck in the spear and poked to death. Gongzi Shi Yan died at the hands of his half-brother Gongzi Zhongtuo, and Gongzi Zhongtuo was hacked to death by Gongjia Chaoge after killing Song Gongluan......
Chaos, really messy, this is Zhao Wuxian's intuitive feeling of the Song Kingdom, compared to it, the struggle within the Lu State clan is simply a playhouse.
So now there is no owner in the office, Mrs. Song Cheng's room is dead, and a new wife has not yet been established, and the rest of the concubines are not favored because they did not give birth to a son for him, so the eldest princess Nanzi has faintly become the inheritor of the power of the office. She's a means again. So, hundreds of palace armor. Nearly a thousand people, temple people, and concubines have pledged their allegiance to Nanzi, and she controlled the palace walls.
"Isn't this the Chicken Sichen?" Sima Geng is upright. didn't see the many entanglements of interests in this, so he came to Zhao Wuxian and complained: "In this way, isn't it exactly the same as what Le Daxin said in the text?" ”
Zhao Wuxian looked at Sima Geng with some pity, Brother Ziniu, how did you survive to the third season of the ethical drama Song Guo? And every time I was on the right side......
In the past few days, Wuxian has been committed to controlling Waiguo and various city gates, instructing his eldest brother to install people in various important positions, and he is not too concerned about the affairs in the palace: "Now the only person who can speak in the public office is Nanzi, she does not control the palace, so it is difficult for you to wait for the doctor to enter the palace to arrange the funeral of the monarch." Personally manage the temple people and palace maids? Outside the male lead, inside the female lead, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Sima Geng was dumbfounded, and then said: "Nanzi arranged the funeral of Duke Song very properly, and even the celebrants couldn't find fault with it, I also know this, but she not only manages these internal affairs, but also firmly controls the wealth of the inner government......"
"Who let Shangqiu chaos three times a day, and asked the rebels to rob the treasury. Only the inner library of the palace survived? Now unless you force the palace to ask Nanzi to hand over the wealth, don't think about forcibly asking for a penny from her. ”
Zhao Wuxian was also a little distressed, not to mention that the death of Song Gong was still suspicious, anyway, there was no proof of the death of Gongzi Zhongtuo. Huang Ying also decided the case, and he couldn't go to Song Guo to overturn the case, so that's it. Surprisingly. Nanzi didn't know what stimulated her, and she became extremely hungry for power. She controlled the court, and some of the Song Duke's ladies wanted to make trouble. But Nanzi used thunderous means and was killed on the spot, and the huge Song Palace was suddenly silent and accepted the reality of changing hands.
Its momentum has been achieved, and it is no longer easy to uproot, not to mention, Zhao Wuxian also needs a person who can cooperate with him and Le's to live in a stable office in the palace, why should he be removed?
Although Nanzi controlled the financial resources in the city, she cooperated with Sima Geng to ask for money to reward the soldiers, collect the corpses and other things. The food and clothing sent to Zhao Wuxian and Le's camp were never in short supply, this was a smart woman, she knew that she could gain a foothold in the Song Palace because of the acquiescence of these two families, and she knew that once the Xiang brothers and the prince of Wu sent into the city to share the fruits of victory, it would be a different scene.
After the rebellion of killing the monarch, there was a vacuum in the power of Shangqiu, not to mention the office, in the original Liuqing, the whole family of Right Shile Daxin was killed in Dongshi, and he himself was split in front of the palace gate. The rest of the Xiang brothers were expelled from Shangqiu, and now they are still locked outside the city gate and drinking the northwest wind with their husbands!
So Song Qing in the city was left with only Dasi Cheng Le Hui and Dasi Kou Huangyi.
The reason why Zhao Wuxian still kept the emperor was because although he controlled Shangqiu, the situation in the entire Song State was undecided, the remnants of the rebellious party were still guarding Xiaoyi, Zheng Guoren was still in the territory, and the Wu people and the Xiang clan by the door were even more dependent. Zhao Wuxian needs the always steady Huang Ying and the upright and loyal Sima Geng to help Le Wei deal with government affairs and stabilize the situation, after all, the eldest brother's ability to manage a hundred multiplier family is barely enough, it is enough to dominate a thousand multiplier country, first find a way to keep the fruits of victory, and then try more.
Therefore, in addition to Nanzi firmly holding the palace in the palm of his hand, the soldiers of the Zhao clan and the Sicheng Le clan controlled the various gates of Shangqiu leading to the outside world and the vast Waiguo area, while the Huang clan obediently retreated to the gates of the inner city to garrison.
The outer Guo, the inner city, the palace, and the triple gatehouse, the three forces are faintly forming, and in Zhao Wuxian's eyes, this is also the basis for the future formation of the Song dynasty's political pattern.
But he looked left and right, and it seemed that there was still something missing, right! The harem should not be occupied by a princess for a lifetime, and there is still a monarch missing!
……
"If there is no monarch in the country, it is uneasy, the throne cannot be suspended for a long time, and I hope that the second secretary and the office can determine the candidate as soon as possible......" The first to raise this matter was Sima Geng, it is rumored that Confucius was uneasy when he had no monarch in March, Sima Ziniu and the master have a temperament, in short, they have to find a monarch to serve themselves, and their hearts can be considered peaceful.
After the death of the Song Dynasty, the palace was opened to the outside world for the first time, the main hall was arranged with the old monarch's mourning hall, and the side hall was cleaned up as a public meeting place to elect a new monarch.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the secretaries of various countries was extremely heavy, so if the princes of the princes were not old enough and not strong enough, they often could not succeed to the throne, but a group of secretaries gathered together to hold a meeting and choose their favorite from the many sons and grandsons.
The more famous one is that Zhao Xuanzi, the ancestor of Zhao Wuxian, established his heir, repeatedly repented several times, drove away the Fox clan, deceived the Qin people, and finally chose Jin Linggong as the monarch, which is one of the black histories of the Zhao family, and Lu Zhaogong was also selected in this way......
In the early morning of September 20, Zhao Wuxian, who had the largest number of troops in the city, was invited to attend the meeting as a guest.
On the side hall where there were not a few people standing, Nanzi sat inside the curtain, as the only representative of the office. Judging from Zhao Wuxian's position, the beauty behind the faint thin curtain was dressed in plain clothes, her figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her eyes glanced at Zhao Wuxian from time to time, and she couldn't see her emotions through the curtains, but Zhao Wuxian always felt that there was something meaningful in it.
Since he entered Shangqiu, he hasn't been alone with Nanzi, and for some reason she didn't take the initiative to find it. Maybe she was afraid that Song Gong had just died, and she was still wearing filial piety, so it was not good to act rashly in front of everyone?
was thinking about it, but he heard Huang Yu cough lightly and said: "The ancestor Xuangong once said, the father dies and the son succeeds, the brother ends up with the brother, and Song Zhichang is also ......."
Le Yu said: "Although, the fourth prince is either dead or imprisoned, and it is not the choice of the king!" ”
After Huang Yu was fooled by Nanzi to welcome Zhao Wuxian and Le's into the city, he knew that he was at a disadvantage, and he didn't dare to fight for any more ruling positions. So the eldest brother Le Wei has been doing Zhengqing's work for the past two days, and he has entered the role, continuing the process of choosing a monarch at a glance.
As they said, the Song Kingdom alternated between the two laws of succession, and since the Song Duke had no children, it stands to reason that it should be the turn of several younger brothers. But three of his four unlucky brothers have been hung, and the remaining one has also been labeled as a rebel, and it is impossible to succeed to the throne, so there is only one person left......
This candidate has to be proposed by Nanzi, the representative of the office.
Her voice was a little hoarse because of crying day and night in the past few days, but the charming effect of the past has not diminished at all, but has added a bit of maturity: "The ancestors often said in the world that there are virtuous nephews and grandchildren, and they can inherit the unification ......"
The second secretary in the hall is naturally good, Gongsun Jie, this inconspicuous boy surnamed Zi, suddenly became a fragrant glutton, almost a certainty, he is the future monarch of the Song Kingdom!
This is also the reason why Huang Yu did not dare to compete with Le Xuan, Gongsun Jiao happened to be in the hands of Sicheng Le for various reasons, and was placed in Daiyi, which was a day and a half away from Shangqiu.
So the funeral of Song Gongluan was held, and Gongsun Jiao was established, which were the two major events that everyone present would do in the future, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and starting a new era of the Song Kingdom.
It will be a new era for Zhao Wuxian and the Zhao family's stable allies!
Nanzi, who rarely spoke behind the curtain, suddenly became serious: "But there is a premise for Yingli Gongsun Jie, that is, the military vehicles of Wu Jun and the Xiang clan are still blocked outside the city and do not retreat, and they are not angry and are turned away, shouting that they must enter the city, Gongsun is afraid that he will be robbed by them when he comes from Daiyi, I don't know what the two secretaries and Zhao Xiaosikou plan to do?" ”
Zhao Wuxian has a sense of drama at this moment, and Nanzi seems to be the heroine who listens to politics through the curtain.
Of course, this idea is just a matter of thinking, although the Song State has more women's rights, women can have their own private property and land, and the daughters of scholars and countrymen can even choose their sons-in-law freely. But the heroine is in the dynasty This kind of thing has never been seen in the past, and the world may not be able to accept it easily, in the Song Kingdom, the Duchess of Song Xiang interfered in government affairs for several years after the heavens, and abolished a monarch.
Le Wei, who tasted the taste of power, also fattened up: "Why don't you send troops to attack?" He calculated an account in his heart, Zhao, Le, and Huang added a piece, and there were a total of 5,000 soldiers in the city, plus the people who were dissatisfied with the Wu people's looting outside the city in the past few days, it seemed that it would work to get together 10,000 people to expel the Wu army.
Zhao Wuxian shook his head: "If the husband is not angry, what if he returns to Wu and orders five thousand Wu Jia to come back to take revenge?" According to the temperament of the husband, this is possible, Xing Ao is now being taken by the husband, and he can't deliver the news for him in real time, but Zhao Wuxian rationally thinks that it is a little inappropriate to completely turn his face with Wu Guoren now.
After two months of turmoil, the Song State has been deeply wounded enough, and there is no need to fight another war with the Wu State and the Xiang Clan.
He looked at Nanzi behind the curtain and said, "I have a plan, I can get the people of Wu to give way and evacuate the ...... on the edge of the city without spending a single soldier" (to be continued.) )
