Chapter 224: Huai Gong Loses Qin, Heavy Ears Seize the Throne (6)

The Jin State also began to recruit troops, and the progress was very fast; Although the country exceeded the conscription task in a short period of time, the hearts of the three doctors were full of worries. In a secret meeting, the three agreed that the command of the Jin army could not be handed over to Jin Huaigong, not because he had not experienced war and did not understand military affairs; is afraid that once he launches madness, the Jin army will be burned with the Qin army.

However, considering that they have always had differences in political opinions, and Jin Huaigong is a suspicious guy, if the three of them have a rare unification of voice on the issue of the ownership of command, Jin Huaigong will definitely go against the will of the people and forcibly seize the power in his own hands. The three doctors then directed a three-reed play.

At the court meeting before leaving the army, Lü's nephew asked Jin Huaigong to lead the whole army to the battle. As soon as the words fell, Yin Rui immediately jumped out to object, saying: "The scene of the battle of Han is still in front of the minister's eyes, and the Jin State cannot repeat the mistakes of the past." The appearance of the monarch will greatly motivate the enemy to build meritorious battles**, and our army needs to deploy a large number of guards in order to protect the monarch's safety. This not only puts the prince in danger, but also interferes and restricts the operations of other troops.

"But if the monarch remains in the capital, the concerns of our army are transferred to the enemy, and the sergeants can kill the enemy without burden, while the enemy fears for the safety of his sovereign. Chong'er's status is low, the security forces around him are weak, our army doesn't need to subdue Qin Bo, as long as Chong'er is killed, the goal can be achieved! ”

Lü's nephew had already gotten too deep into the drama (of course, also because of his bad relationship with Yin Rui), and he loudly accused Yin Rui of undermining the morale of the Jin army, fueling the arrogance of the enemy army, and treating the prince as a burden rather than the supreme commander.

On the other hand, Yin Rui retorted, ridiculing Lu Nephew for only being able to fight anti-aircraft artillery, and only repeating the clichés of the pre-war meeting of the Battle of Hanwon, and having no ability to think independently at all.

When the three of them quarreled, Jin Huaigong announced his retirement from the dynasty and asked the three doctors to stay. In the following discussion, Lu no longer insisted on his previous opinion. Jin Huaigong immediately announced that the upper army would be led by Lu nephew, and the lower army led by Yin Rui would meet the Qin army, and he and Xin would defend the country.

The three doctors got together secretly before the expedition, and they were still as loyal to Huigong as Xun Xi was to Xiangong; They could not bear to kill Huai Gong, but decided to remove him from the throne at the right time.

The Qin army crossed the Yellow River, and Dong Yin, the historian of the Jin Kingdom, met Chong'er in the east of the river, and he fled here after being persecuted by Huaigong.

The Qin army first surrounded Linghu, and Linghu surrendered without a fight; The Qin army took advantage of the victory to attack again, and even took down the two cities of Sangquan and Jiuyuan.

Jin Huaigong spent all his time on depravity at this time, indulging in lust with an attitude of disregard for the future. He took the opportunity to seize all the power in his hands, and from time to time he passed on fabricated, false bad news and exaggerated and true bad news to Huai Gong.

In February, the Jin army assembled at Luliu and met the arrival of the enemy here. The Qin army soon reached the opposite side of the Jin army, and Gongzi Zhi entered the Jin army camp as an envoy of the Qin army; He was received by the Jin Shangjun doctor Yin Xuan.

He was a classical man who was loyal to the office rather than the monarch and worried about the fate of the country rather than his personal one. Gongzi Zhi did not go to the Jin army to write a war letter, but proposed to hold talks on the future of the Jin state.

He did not reply to him on the spot, but politely said that he would report the other party's request to the higher authorities and then send him out of the barracks.

When the news reached Jiangdu, Yin said that seeing that the time had come, he immediately panicked and said to Jin Huai that the Jin army had "defected", the doctors had declared their allegiance to Chong'er, and the Qin-Jin coalition army had opened to Jiangdu. Jin Huaigong finally couldn't stand the huge psychological pressure and fled, and his actions were immediately interpreted by the Jin people as voluntarily giving up the throne.

The situation has become clear, Chong'er's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion, and all that remains is the procedural matter of enthronement. The Jin division retreated to Xun, while the Qin division remained unchanged.

Chong'er assigned Hu Yan to sign an alliance with the doctors of Qin and Jin on his behalf. The content of the alliance is that the Jin people supported Chong'er as the Marquis of Jin, and the Qin people expressed their support; After the new monarch ascended the throne, the major doctors performed their own duties, and their official positions remained unchanged; Except for the most heinous offenders, the company will no longer hold anyone accountable.

Hu Yan brought the letter of alliance back to the Qin camp, and people congratulated Chong'er one after another. Heavy Ear sat in the tent and mechanically thanked the congratulators. He still can't believe that all this is true, a down-and-out son who has been in exile for nineteen years, should have died silently and odorlessly, but now that the country has changed dramatically, he has actually ascended to the throne of the monarch with the support of the Qin State.

Hu Yan said that Ziyu's miscellaneous can inherit the throne; And Heavy Ear is far superior to him in every way, why can't he do it?

Three days later, the Jin army sent a team to meet Chong'er as agreed. Qin Mugong was worried that the Jin people would deceive him, so he gave him a guard composed of tiger warriors; Chong'er entered the Jin army camp under the protection of this army.

The Jin people were generally ashamed and worried to see that the future monarch should be so distrustful of his fellow citizens that he needed a stranger to protect his own safety; The doctors also dare not imagine what kind of revenge the new monarch will take on them in the future. But Chong'er said that since he was the new king appointed by God, he could not do evil deeds that God despised, which made the doctors feel a little more settled.

A few days later, when Qin Mugong saw that Chong'er was safe, he summoned the guards back, and the Qin division immediately withdrew his troops and returned to China.

Chong'er decided to hold the coronation ceremony in the Wugong Temple in Quwo, and he chose Quwo because he wanted to express his deep nostalgia for Prince Gong Shensheng. When the bell of the Taimiao sounded solemnly, and the heavy ears were surrounded by the doctors and walked out of the gate of the Wugong Temple, he was called "Jin Wengong" by later generations.

Chong'er didn't want to enter Jiangdu too early (because the capital was the lair of the Yiwu faction, and the situation was still quite chaotic), so he stayed in the Quwo Palace for a while.

At this time, Ziyu was still hiding in Gaoliang City, because the information he got was untrue, so he still hadn't figured out the truth, and he even fantasized in his heart that he would be able to return to Jiangdu one day. Chong'er was worried that Ziyu would escape, so he asked Xun Cheng to continue to pass false information to the other party in order to stabilize Ziyuan; On the one hand, he sent the fox Yan, who had a deep hatred for Ziyu, to assassinate him.

He said that at this time, he only had to think about how to protect himself, and he had to obey the orders of Jin Wengong. He said that the last piece of information sent out said that Chong'er had been crowned and enthroned, and was preparing to send an army to attack Sorghum; He urged Zi Yu to flee for his life immediately, and said that he had arranged for Zi Yu to be picked up outside the city.
