All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 984
Yin Huaixi lightly curled the corner of her lips, her tone still flat: “At most three years, the heaven of this great Zhou Dynasty should completely change.”
Three years!
For the almanac, it is just a snap of a finger, but for the thousands of people in this world, it is cruel and long.
“It’s been so long.” Yu Youyao also knew that the calamity of the feudal kings would not eliminate injustice. Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, for the throne, there were not a few people from the same family, let alone kings of the opposite sex? !
Emperor Gaozu was ambitious and strategic, and he was ruled by cutting off his vassals at the time. It was because the new dynasty was established, and everything was waiting to be revived. At that time, the foreign tribes were strong and eager to move, and they needed generals who could conquer and fight.
After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne: “The world is so big that it must build a vassal screen, defend the country on the top, and live in the people on the bottom. Now that the new dynasty has been established, the king and you will guard together, and each should have a title and separate the kingdoms.”
The general idea is that the world is so big, and only one emperor can’t keep it. It must be divided into vassals and ruled to protect the country and the people. Now that the new dynasty has been established, I will fulfill the promise of righteousness and guard the country with all the ministers. The ministers divide the towns and the lands, and guard the fertile soil.
Only then did the Great Zhou Dynasty have the rule of dividing the vassal.
This move made Emperor Gaozu’s prestige unparalleled, so that later, Emperor Gaozu raised his arm, pointing out where to fight, unstoppable, and successively leveled Beidi, Nanman, Xilu, and Dongrong.
It created a peaceful and prosperous situation for hundreds of years after the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, the vassal kings guarded the vassal land for generations, and their ambitions inevitably grew. By the time of Emperor Xianzong, the vassal kings had already become a disaster.
Why did the first emperor put more emphasis on literature than martial arts?
On the surface, it is aimed at military generals, but also for recuperation.
But in fact, people with discerning eyes know that what the late emperor really suppressed was the vassal king. By the late emperor’s late period, the strength of the vassal king had been greatly reduced, and the vassal was in sight.
It’s a pity that the late emperor had been brooding over the death of Concubine Hui, so that he became ill from overwork, and died in the heyday of Qianqiu.
The current emperor’s northern expedition ruined most of his life’s efforts and rekindled the ambition of the vassal king.
The death of King Li of Zhou further intensified the revolt of the vassal king.
Yu Youyao suddenly thought of the incomplete topographic map of the grasslands that he saw in Yin Huaixi’s study before. As early as when Yin Huaixi was young, he had sent spies to go deep into the grasslands to inquire about the terrain of the grasslands. It has been ten years since then.
It can be seen that Yin Huaixi has long had the heart of the Northern Expedition.
If King Li of Zhou did not die, and went into battle with his father and son, and pacified the northern expedition first, why would he worry about the injustice of the domain? !
All I can say is that it’s all God’s will.
And now Yin Huaixi is just following the destiny, taking back everything that belongs to their father and son, and re-creating another peaceful and prosperous age.
Yu Youyao took a deep breath: “Looking at history, it is very rare to change dynasties in just three years.”
Yin Huaixi changed the subject: “According to the one-time ritual system of national mourning, it is not uncommon for the empress dowager to stay alive for two or three years. The royal family has secret spices, which can keep the body from rot for decades. The emperor has not established a reserve yet. The new emperor has not ascended the throne, and the Shouyan Palace is temporarily vacant, which can be used as a resting place.”
If the new emperor ascends the throne, the phoenix body of the empress dowager will be moved to Fengxian Hall.
Yu Youyao had a bottom line in her heart, and only said: “In this case, I don’t need to go back to Beijing to go to the national funeral for the time being. I will write a eulogy in a while and send it to Beijing to express my condolences.”
Yin Huaixi nodded: “It should be like this.”
The imperial court’s crusade documents were also very fast: “The rebels against the ministers, the thieves, and the thieves for the chaotic ministers. My lord is ordered by heaven to rule the world, and my brothers and sisters bow, and stand by filial piety…”
Later, some benevolent actions of the emperor since he ascended the throne were counted, including many merits and virtues when the emperor was on the throne, respecting the empress dowager, not accepting new things, leveling the waters, promoting national policies, eliminating civil disasters, etc.
Although exaggerated, it is not entirely groundless.
And behind these achievements, there are the empress dowagers who promote them, denounce the book as borrowing the virtues of the empress dowager.
Afterwards, the imperial court condemned, criticized and criticized King Liang from the standpoint of morality and general standing: “You should worry about the common people’s life when you eat the king’s salary. The minister kills the monarch, and the etiquette of the general rules is destroyed…”
Yang Yang has a long speech, mentioning that the king of Liang is unfaithful and unjust, unkind and unbelieving, unceremonious and unwise.
At the end: “Call the people with lofty ideals in the world, to deal with the rebellion of the Liang thief and the party. The prefectures and counties are prepared to use the anger to the wind and cloud, and the security of the society. Once the rebellion of the King of Liang is eliminated, the thieves of Liang will be levelled, so that all the people can get their place. My country is safe and the world is at peace!”
The Great Zhou Dynasty was full of beacon smoke, and everyone was in danger.
In just two months, King Liang reached Quanzhou all the way, occupying the most prosperous city along the southeast coast.
Only at this time did the courtiers come back to their senses. During this period of time, all kinds of abnormalities in Quanzhou were not caused by the harassment of Japanese pirates, but because of King Liang’s secret crossing of Chencang.
The Duke of Zhenguo was vaguely aware of the abnormality in Quanzhou because of the son of the Song Dynasty. Earlier in the courtroom, he strongly suggested that a supervisor should be sent to patrol the southeast coast, but he was strongly opposed by the Lan Fei faction.
The Marquis of Zhenguo suffered from lack of evidence, and the inspection was left unresolved.
This gave Liang Thief a chance.
Concubine Lan was inevitably charged with “disrupting the country”.
The second prince was also to blame and was forced to resign from his post in the military aircraft department.
The house leak happened to rain overnight. The first assistant, Yu Zongshen, personally tried the case of Ning Yuanbo, quelling the protests and disputes caused by the fraud in scientific examinations inside and outside the court and the public, and won the support of thousands of students all over the world.
At the same time, Ning Yuanbofu colluded with the Di people, conspired with King Liang, persecuted King Li of Zhou, formed a party for personal gain, and murdered Zhongliang. More than 30 crimes surfaced.
Ning Yuanbo was betrayed by the enemy and intended to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive.
Concubine Lan was immediately deprived of her position and entered the cold palace. Empress Ning took the phoenix seal and took charge of the harem. She was in the limelight for a while, and even Concubine Xu had to avoid her edge.
The second prince was implicated and imprisoned in the palace.
How to deal with it in the future, as a minister, Yu Zongshen cannot surpass the imperial power.
After all, there is no escape.
The fourth prince, who had always kept a low profile, naturally took over the government affairs of the second prince at the military aircraft office, and began to intervene in military affairs.
The radical faction in the royalist party who supported Empress Ning also pursued the victory and spared no effort to recruit, suppress and cut off the party members of Lan Fei’s faction.
The trees fell and Hu Huan scattered, and the courtiers who supported the second prince, in order to protect themselves, turned to Queen Ning.
Concubine Lan worked hard for many years, but she made wedding gowns for Empress Ning and the Fourth Prince.
No one would have imagined that the first to fall was the second prince who seemed to have the most hope and won the crown prince, which made people sigh for a while.
But Yu Youyao knew that this was the ending that Yin Huaixi arranged for Concubine Lan and the second prince. At that time, King Li of Zhou was accused of treason and treason, and was persecuted to death.
