Royal Road

Hearing the news brought by the messenger, Sima Teng almost fell to the ground. The emperor died? How could you just die like this? Don’t those bandits want to grab food and sneak into the back of the camp? What did the **** and **** Qi Hong brought to eat? !

His lips trembled for a long time before he trembled and asked, "What about King Yuzhang?"

Sima Chi, the king of Yuzhang, is the half-brother of the emperor, and was previously named the emperor's brother, the heir to the throne in terms of etiquette. If he escapes by luck, he can succeed...

"King Yuzhang is also stubborn to protect the sacred driver..." The messenger sobbed and wept. What a disaster it is to lose two monarchs in one day. Is God going to die?

Sima Teng was completely speechless. After the deathly silence, he suddenly jumped up: "Get your horse! Go back to Luoyang! Go back to Luoyang quickly!!"

"Huh?" The messenger was dumbfounded. Don't you want revenge for the emperor? At the very least, we have to pick up the funeral of the emperor, how can we just go back to Luoyang like this?

Sima Teng didn't have any nonsense skills, and he didn't care about dealing with the aftermath, so he went straight to Luoyang with over a thousand guards. This is a major event that shakes the world. You must inform your brother as soon as possible!

Looking at the adopted son who was kneeling under the steps, his face was full of excitement. Liu Yuan was also speechless for a long time.

Emperor Jin collapsed! Still died at the hands of his generals! Even if he had the mind to replace it, he never thought that such a thing would happen one day.

While shocked, there was also a trace of unspeakable daze that rushed to my heart. Liu Yuan has been a minister of Jin for most of his life, and has seen the emperor in person countless times. The dull and gentle monarch always sat on the throne, like a puppet placed by others. But that person is the emperor after all, even if he is worried, even afraid, even confused, he represents the only Zhengshuo of the dynasty. Each of his official positions came from the emperor's imperial mouth, and every reward he received came from his majesty's personal seal. Such a ninth-five god, actually died in the wilderness? Slashed and killed by someone? Just thinking about it makes people feel like in a dream.

There was silence in the main hall, but before the atmosphere became weird, Liu Yuan spoke and laughed: "It's my son!"

After the shock, after the loss, there was ecstasy. what does that mean? It means that he departed from the abandoned Jin country and finally came to the end. Its monarch will be beheaded in the wild, and its aura will be suddenly cut off. Just like the big man who lasted for four hundred years and seemed to survive forever, he will eventually lose his life.

The loud laughter echoed in the hall, and the magic of silence was instantly broken. The officials became excited and congratulated in unison. This is the biggest victory since the founding of the Han nation!

"Pingyang has purple energy, and it is also the old capital of Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty moves the capital, welcomes the Qianxiang, and Xie Kunxiang. The change of the purple palace, the Jin clan will decline, and within three years, Luoyang must be closed." Xia Xia, Tai Shi Let's congratulate loudly. He was unable to calculate the solar eclipse before and almost cost him his life. With such a good opportunity, how can he not say something good?

When Liu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but Longyan Joy: "Pingyang fruit is the land of Longxing! Yongming is also my emperor and Han Fu general, this merit is a reward!"

Liu Yao kowtowed again with excitement, this kind of credit is enough to wash away his defeat in the Shangdang. However, this adopted son was happy in his heart, but some people were secretly anxious. Liu He stepped forward and said anxiously: "Father, beheading Emperor Jin is a big victory. But if the Kingdom of Jin knows, wouldn't it be a military disaster? Now that the country is not strong, it seems difficult for the enemy to eat the elephant ."

At this time, openly sing the opposite, but not everyone can bear it. However, Liu Yuan valued the eldest son very much, and he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this. The emperor Jin collapsed, and the emperor's heir is still undecided. This is a sign of the country's death. What's more, the king of East China Sea is in power, and the king of Chengdu is still there. People must fight again. How can there be time to distract him?"

This is inevitable. It's so hard to win the battle and take the emperor back, but let the emperor die on the road. Sima Yue couldn't shirk the blame for feelings and rituals. In terms of etiquette, Chengdu Wang Simaying was the father and son of Emperor Wu, the younger brother of the emperor, and once served as the imperial brother of the emperor. Once the emperor's position is vacant, both himself and the people around him will fight to the death. At that time, Sima Yue, who was in power in Luoyang city, could give up and let it go. It was strange that the two did not fight to the death and the life.

Who can spend military strength to fight Han and avenge the dead emperor?

No one would do this.

"Strictly guard the cities of Pingyang, and send troops to Chang'an after the civil strife in Shanxi!" Liu Yuan straightened up and ordered loudly.

The heavens have given him the best opportunity, and come down to grasp the power of this heavenly blessing! Thinking of this, Liu Yuan sighed in his heart. Unfortunately, once this happened, the Shangdang would have to settle down for a while. Not to mention, now his goal is to lay the ground in Guanzhong, Jizhou and other bitter cold places, on the contrary, it is like eating chicken ribs.

"Your Majesty is dying, is King Yuzhang also stubborn?" Hearing this news, Sima was so shocked that his face became pale, and he immediately jumped into a rage! It took nearly a year to attack Chang'an, but the city was laid down, but the emperor was lost. This is simply unacceptable!

"Where is Qihong? Has anyone caught the king?"

"General Qi never saved the holy driver, vomiting blood and coma, and he is still in the army. The gangster who killed the king...I am afraid it is the Huns!" Sima Teng had already figured out a countermeasure along the way. Of those who can send three thousand Qingqi to attack Yujia, almost all of them are the Huns and pseudo-Han. It's just this matter, we must put aside the relationship with Hongnong Daying. Otherwise, just a crime of inadequate **** can cause him to be pricked in the backbone by everyone.

I couldn't sit still anymore, Sima got up longer and turned around the table: "That's not good! You have to quickly establish a new king!"

It caused war and killed the emperor in the wilderness. Such guilt is definitely not something he can recite now. What's more terrible is that now the King of Chengdu is still fleeing. He is the son of Emperor Wu and the former emperor's brother. Certainly someone wants to use this as a reason to recommend him to the throne. This has changed from a disease of ringworm and scabies to a confidant! Zheng Shuo must be in their hands!

"Or could it be the King of Qinghe?" Sima Teng also knew the seriousness of the matter and suggested in a low voice.

Sima Tan, the king of Qinghe, was the grandson of Emperor Wu and was born out of the protagonist of Emperor Kang of Qinghe. After the emperor of Daxing passed away, he was ordained as the crown prince. It's just that the political situation is turbulent, and it has been repeatedly abandoned. The first person to abolish him was Chengdu Wang Sima Ying. In terms of etiquette, he is the only one who is more qualified to succeed to the throne than the king of Chengdu.

However, Sima Yue hesitated. King Qinghe is too smart. Before Luoyang had no owner, and when the Changsha king's old general Shangguansi was rampant, he led a night attack and expelled Shangguansi from the city in one fell swoop. Such a courageous and strategic man, if he grows a few years older, can he still be controlled by him?

After going around two more times, Sima Yue gritted his teeth after all: "Well, if there is a urgency, we still have to put the country first. Immediately pass the order and invite Qinghe King to enter!"

Now, his greatest enemy has changed back to the King of Chengdu, and everything must be focused on the overall situation. As for whether he is smart or not, this son is only twelve years old, and he is far from being pro-political. Wait until the Chengdu King is eliminated, and then plan slowly.

Hearing this, Sima Teng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the new emperor in Luoyang City is still in their hands, everything will be easy.

However, as soon as he relaxed, Sima Yue looked over: "There is also the Huns..."

"Brother Wang!" Seeing his brother's eyes, Sima Teng suddenly panicked, "Teng is incompetent, no match for the Huns..."

There must be a saying about the killing of the emperor. As the governor of Bingzhou, he had the duty to resist the Huns. Now that something went wrong in Hongnong Daying, it is even more unavoidable. But now, how dare he take such an errand? Go back to Bingzhou and fight the Huns? That's a fierce kind that even the emperor can kill!

Seeing Sima Teng's flustered appearance, Sima's teeth were almost crushed with anger. However, it has always been a short-term protection, and this is not the time for infighting. Trying to suppress the anger in his heart, he said: "Well, it's better to settle down first and then to fight outside. Now Yecheng will also send someone to guard it. After the succession ceremony is completed, you can go there."

Yecheng is the home of the king of Chengdu. Recently, it has been upset by the masters of the clan. It is really not a good place to go. But even so, it is a bit better than Binzhou. Sima Teng nodded again and again: "The minister must guard Yecheng for Brother Wang!"

What else can Sima Yue say? With a long sigh, he said: "Immediately pick up your majesty's funeral and prepare a national shirt. Others, let's consider the long-term plan."

And the state naturally has to redo the arrangements. But whoever is to be guarded will have to wait for the state funeral and succession ceremonies before making plans. Such a good situation can actually fall into such a situation. Could it be that he was really abandoned by the sky? Ji Lingling shuddered, the more Sima put this idea behind him, and set about arranging the various matters needed for the great funeral.

Although Sima Yue tried to keep it secret, the hundreds of public officials scattered on the battlefield did not mean to keep it secret. The news of the death of the emperor still spread to various places along with a fast horse. The Shangdang, which is only a distance from Luoyang, also got the news early.

"The emperor is dead!" Liang Feng was shocked when he heard the news. With so many wars and chaos, the foolish emperor who was troubled and troubled could also survive. How could he be killed on the way back to Luoyang?

"It's the Xiongnu cavalry! It's no wonder that they attacked Lishi a few days ago and didn't get a major counterattack." Duan Qin sighed, yes, it must be the Huns who moved the battlefield and placed their troops in Sizhou. . However, who could have expected that this change would take the life of the emperor!

"In this way, I am afraid that there will be criticism about the solar eclipse..." Cui Ji thought more. If they hadn't captured Yangyi during the solar eclipse, maybe the Xiongnu would stay in Bingzhou.

Duan Qin immediately shook his head: "The Xiongnu won't recognize this. I'm afraid it will be pushed above the locust plague."

Liu Yuan would admit that he was scared off by the solar eclipse when he was stupid. But the emperor is not benevolent, the kingdom is about to die, and the locust plague drives him to Sizhou. It is more in his own interest to go in the sky.

Speaking of it, the Shangdang party has been working hard to control locusts in the past two years, and it has only slightly controlled the number of locust eggs. Now the locust plague in Xihe Country is widespread, but there are not many pests in Shangdang. It's really like heaven's help.

Seeing that the two turned around and chatted about political affairs, Liang Feng was also a little bit dumbfounded: "But the emperor, after all, collapsed."

Are you not feudal scholar-bureaucrats? How can there be no sorrow for the death of the emperor?

Facing the man’s words, the two were silent at the same time, and finally Duan Qin said, “After Emperor Daxing took the throne, there have been many disasters in the country. It may be a good thing to change his fate now.”

Yes, how many wars and disasters have occurred since that holy son took the throne. The population of the country, from ten to five or six, how many people will have a minimum respect for the person on the throne? On the contrary, everyone is eager for someone who is stronger and more able to control the government. A true dragon that conforms to the etiquette and destiny. The death of Emperor Xian was indeed a relief.

Hearing Duan Qin's words, Liang Feng couldn't help being dumbfounded. After a while, he sighed: "Mourning is still necessary, and it should be done in courtesy."

This is the truth. The emperor is the father of the ministers. According to the ancient rites, the national funeral is also to observe filial piety for three years, and all entertainment and marriage are prohibited. However, the emperor is very human, and if the people of our country all go to mourning for three years, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, many national funerals have acted in this way since the three-year funeral was changed to thirty-six days since Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. At most, it is only three months.

And during this period, the marriage between Liang's mansion and Wang's family couldn't go on under any circumstances.

Duan Qin didn't show any anxiety this time. Instead, he said, "As it should be. King Dongyan will not return to Bingzhou for the time being, and the lord can also have more free time."

This is a matter of course. With regard to the virtue of Sima Teng, after the Xiongnu killed the emperor, he still dare to return to Bingzhou to take charge of military affairs? Avoiding it is the truth.

The rope around his neck was looser after all. But Liang Feng also knows that this is only temporary. I don't know who will be succeeded by the court? Whether it can be better than Sima Teng is still unknown.

With a light sigh, Liang Feng finally said: "First defend the national funeral, other things, consider the long-term plan."

It’s not too late to get married after the funeral is over. I just don't know who in Luoyang City will succeed the ninth five-year position.
