Water Margin Immortal Path
Chapter 053 The power of the court
The emperor's enthronement was a complicated and solemn ceremony. First, a group of masters of ceremonies praised Emperor Daxing's life achievements, and finally announced the posthumous title agreed upon by the ministers. Because Emperor Zhezong devoted his life to pacifying the borderlands, his posthumous title was: Emperor Qinwenruiwu Zhaoxiao. . Then he issued a decree to the queen, ordering Duan Wang Zhao Ji to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and canonize the queen.
Prime Minister Zhang Dun stood aside, unhappy, and said to Cai Jing: "King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world."
While Cai Jing said yes, he kept it in mind and prepared to report it to Zhao Ji when the government was stable. Then the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty gathered around the emperor to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and there was another long memorial text, which was difficult to understand. After the sacrifices to the heavens, they had to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, the emperors and Zhezong, which was lengthy and complicated.
Wu Song was in the middle of the ministers. He was dizzy and was not in good spirits because he had not slept last night. He was surrounded by three eunuch ministers, one was Yang Jian, the other was Tong Guan, and the other was Liang Shicheng. Four treacherous ministers formed a A small criminal gang.
Master Zhongdao sneered on the side, and the four of them had sharp ears. They only heard the Secretary of Economic Affairs mutter: "Four eunuchs..."
Yang Jian, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng kept laughing evilly. Wu Song glared at them and quickly moved away from the three of them. Yang Jian came over again, pointed at a Taoist on the altar, and whispered: "That Taoist is Liu Hunkang, the current national preceptor." , you want to take his seat. This Liu Hunkang is also a Taoist priest from Maoshan, and he is of the same lineage as Wang Laozhi, but he is not as generous as Wang Laozhi. Be careful if you take his seat, he will take revenge on you. "
Wu Song moved further away from the eunuch and looked towards the stage. He saw Liu Hunkang wearing Bagua Taoist robes and holding an ancient pine-patterned sword. Boys and girls on both sides were holding various sacrificial supplies and praying on the stage. Muttered something.
On both sides of the boys and girls, Zhao Ji and Queen Wang supported Queen Mother Xiang to show their filial piety. Behind them was Emperor Zhezong's Queen Liu, Liu Jieyu, who was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. The others were all Zhezong's concubines. These women, when the emperor was around, were aloof and scheming. Once the emperor was gone, their lives would be worse than those of the concubines living in the cold palace. They were really miserable.
After these trivial matters, the official ascension to the court began. Zhao Ji sat in the Jinluan Palace and asked the Queen Mother to listen to the government behind the curtain. He reluctantly said: "Only for half a year, the Ai family cannot imitate the dictatorship of Queen Gao. After the emperor becomes familiar with government affairs, this will happen." The court is yours."
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty praised the empress dowager for her sage. Zhao Ji said: "Next year, the first year of the reign of the Kingdom of Jingguo, all the dear ministers should speak out and give advice. If their words are useful, I will reward them; if they are wrong, I will not impose any penalty." Civil and military ministers. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Zhao Ji discussed meritorious deeds and rewarded them. In the battle with the Xixia Kingdom, all ministers who had meritorious service were rewarded. Zhong Shidao and others were named Jiedushi, and all the ministers were very happy.
As expected, Wu Song was granted the title of Third Grade, in charge of Tianji Pavilion, and managed the world's warlocks. The master of Tianji Pavilion was a civil servant. Wu Song stood among the civil servants. He was tall and outstanding. When he heard Zhao Ji's words, he cursed: "You can be a wise king for half a year, which is considered good."
From the moment Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, Wu Song could clearly feel the vitality of heaven and earth surging crazily, the star power of the sky changed, and a vast and pure vitality fell from the sky, covering Zhao Ji's whole body.
The destined emperor, who senses the dragon's veins and energy, is protected by the power of the crape myrtle star, and is protected by the power of the star of one hundred and eight heavens. All dharma will not be broken, and all evil will not invade!
Only when the dragon vein disappears and the power of Ziwei Star no longer exists, will the emperor lose his destiny and become a common man.
Next to Wu Song was Imperial Master Liu Hunkang, who whispered: "Master Wu Pavilion, congratulations."
Wu Song was quite cautious. Wang Laozhi's magic power was far superior to his. Liu Hunkang was even more famous than Wang Laozhi. He couldn't be easily provoked. He said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry."
Liu Hunkang smiled and said: "I didn't originally intend to do this, but now I have a lot of leisure, and I just happen to go back to the mountain to cultivate. Master Wu Pavilion, my position as national master must be yours, but there is one thing you must remember: no matter what How about it, never go to Dragon Vein!"
Wu Song was confused, and when he wanted to ask more questions, he heard Yang Jian sharply say: "The envoys of Liao, Tubo, and Xia are asking to see you!"
Zhao Ji raised his hand and said: "Xuan!"
"The envoys from the Xuan Liao, Tubo and Xia Kingdoms are here to see you!"
The envoys from the three countries entered the palace together and saw that the emperor refused to worship. The ministers angrily rebuked him. The envoy said: "We are not ministers of the Song Dynasty. If we worship the emperor of the Song Dynasty, where can we put my majesty?" None of the ministers could do anything. right. The three envoys said again: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, our envoys from the Three Kingdoms have been in your post for more than a month. Why haven't they been summoned yet?"
When Zhao Ji saw that the envoys from the Three Kingdoms looked strange and looked like monsters, he was so frightened that his two legs trembled and he was speechless. Zhang Dun immediately came out and angrily rebuked. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms knew clearly that Zhezong was dead, but they still said this. Their intentions were to be punished!
The Liao envoy sneered: "I, King Pingnan, have one hundred thousand troops at Yanmen Pass. I heard that the Song Dynasty invaded and occupied the Xia Kingdom's land. I am quite unhappy. I am willing to lead troops into Tokyo to mediate with the two countries! The Emperor of the Song Dynasty You are still refusing to see me, I am afraid that King Pingnan has led his army southward!"
The Tubo envoy also smiled and said: "My king also has 80,000 soldiers in Qinghai. He wants to mediate with the two families. Maybe he has arrived in Luozhou by now!"
"The emperor of our dynasty leads an army of 300,000 tigers and wolves. If your majesty does not return the land that has invaded our country, return the princess, Meile and others, and compensate our country for its losses, our emperor will discuss matters with his majesty in Tokyo and have a good time over wine!"
Zhao Ji turned pale and hurriedly turned back to look at the Queen Mother, who also frowned and looked at Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun calmed down and remained silent. The Song Dynasty had been fighting for years and the treasury was depleted, so it was really impossible to start a war on three fronts. While Fan Chunren and other ministers were arguing hard with their arguments, Zhong Shidao and other generals sneered and said: "If a war begins, then the war will begin. Aren't we afraid of you?"
There was chaos in the court. The main fighting party was mostly military generals and ministers with loud voices but few in number. The fighting party was mostly civil servants with low voices and many people, making noisy noises. Among them, the civil servants were divided into factions, attacking each other and creating chaos.
Wu Song couldn't help frowning when he saw how ridiculous these people were. How could a country fight against foreign enemies if it couldn't unite as one? At that moment, his anger sank into his Dantian, and a burst of true energy exploded in his throat!
"Do you want to bully me into having no one in the Song Dynasty?"
There was a loud thunder in the Jinluan Palace, which made everyone's eardrums buzz and they couldn't help but stop talking.
Wu Song came out of the queue and said to the Xixia envoy: "The Xia Kingdom has just been defeated miserably. I have killed hundreds of thousands of troops. The Empress Dowager Liang was also frightened to death. Where did the 300,000 troops come from!" Turning around, he turned to the Tubo envoy again. The minister said: "I have also killed your imperial master. If the herdsmen on the plateau dare to come down, ask him to come and kill one, two and both!"
Wu Song looked at the Liao envoy again and sneered: "Yelu Yixin rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor. Did you, Emperor Daozong, have to fight hard in this battle? What's more, Daozong's body is weak, and he may not have much time left, right?" If Pingnanyuan dares to go south, there will be chaos within the Liao Kingdom and it will be destroyed!"
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were shocked by his momentum and stopped talking. The envoy of the Liao Kingdom struggled and said, "Who are you? A third-rank official, how dare you speak arrogant words?"
"Wu Song, Qinghe County, is temporarily photographing the master of Tianji Pavilion. All the gods in your country have been killed by me, so I can't say anything to you?"
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were terrified and kowtowed quickly: "I didn't know it was Mr. Wu, please forgive me!"
"What's the point of worshiping me? If you want to worship me, then you have to worship His Majesty the Emperor!"
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms then kowtowed to Zhao Ji and professed their loyalty to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's face was overjoyed and he said: "You are really my son-in-law." Looking around at the ministers, he said, "I want Wu Aiqing to temporarily assume the position of national counselor. Do you have any objections to me?" "The whole court was silent, and Zhao Ji immediately canceled Liu Hunkang's title of Imperial Preceptor and appointed Wu Song as the Imperial Preceptor of the Song Dynasty. From the first-grade official title, he still led Tianji Pavilion. He also ordered Zhang Dun, Fan Chunren, Cai Jing and other ministers to negotiate with the envoys of the three countries and order their withdrawal from the court.
Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief, followed the ministers and retreated, quietly crumpling the pieces of paper in his arms into crumbs. That piece of paper was written by Gongshu Yanran on how to deal with the court. This woman had already predicted that the envoys from the Three Kingdoms would definitely go to court to cause trouble, and wrote down various possibilities overnight. Wu Song just recited them according to the script. The reason why he could achieve such an effect was all because of Gongshu. credit.
"Gongshu Yanran is truly Zhuge among women." Wu Song had just left the court when he heard Yang Jian shouting from behind: "Erlang, stay here, the Queen Mother wants to see you!"
