Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 112: To be a subjugated king
A messenger from the Jin court?
Cui Heng was taken aback when he heard this.
From the moment he left the novice space to now, although he has been using the government environment to collect the seven emotions of sentient beings, he has never dealt with the royal family.
After all, since a hundred years ago, the fortunes of the Jin Dynasty have been declining day by day, and the central decree of the imperial court can't even go out of Zhongzhou.
This court can basically be said to exist in name only.
Even though the Great Jin Dynasty stole the fruits of Hong Fugui's struggle two hundred and sixty-one years ago, Cui Heng didn't bother to destroy it.
Because, even if you don't care about him, it's not certain whether the national title of Dajin can last for ten years.
Jianyan Emperor Wei Yi is forty-nine years old, but he doesn't even have a son.
The loyal ministers and good generals were killed by him again.
Langya Wang, who has always supported the Great Jin Dynasty, has been overwhelmed recently.
It can be said that as long as Jianyan Emperor Wei Yi dies, the Jin court will inevitably fall apart.
There is little chance of centralizing power anymore.
Each state pastor will let another emperor stand on top of his head.
Not even in name.
However, Emperor Jianyan is still alive and still the emperor.
Therefore, when his envoys arrive in any state capital, they will be treated with hospitality.
In order to maintain a superficial obedience, the local state pastor will also establish a good relationship with the envoy, and even show a humble attitude.
It's not that I'm afraid of the emperor.
The main reason is that I am worried that if I am not humble and submissive in front of the envoy, I will be easily caught by the neighboring states as pigtails.
Neighboring states can use this as an excuse to form alliances and join forces to conquer.
In name, it is to maintain the authority of the emperor, but in reality it is to seize territory and divide up land and population.
Of course, the superficial obedience and humility is only superficial after all. As for the emperor's decrees brought by the envoys, they are usually ignored by the state shepherds, or they are pretended to be obedient and obedient.
Therefore, the emperor generally would not send envoys to the state capital.
After all, it would be very embarrassing for one's own government order to be ignored by others.
But now a court envoy suddenly came to Fengzhou, which is really strange.
"What position do you occupy?" Cui Heng asked.
The envoys sent by the imperial court are mostly eunuchs in the inner court, and they can judge the importance of matters by their official positions.
"It's Wang Chun, the regular attendant." Liu Litao said solemnly.
"Sanqi regular attendant?" Cui Heng raised his brows slightly, and said with a smile, "What does Emperor Jianyan want to do? To send such an important member of the inner court to me, the **** said why he came here Is it?"
According to the official system of the Jin Dynasty, Sanqi Changshi is the chief official of Sanqi Province, and there are four people, who work together with Shizhong Province to Ping Shangshu, serve the emperor's daily life, and are also responsible for consulting and admonishing.
Extremely powerful.
"The **** didn't say anything about his visit." Liu Litao shook his head and said, "He will only talk about it when he sees the envoy."
"Then let him come over." Cui Heng nodded slightly, and was a little curious about the purpose of the Jin court.
"Yes, envoy!" Liu Litao saluted and retired.
…
Accompanied by Liu Litao, the envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty brought a servant to the reception hall of the State Pastoral Office.
The envoy looked to be in his forties, with a fair face and a soft temperament, obviously an eunuch.
The entourage beside him looks to be in his fifties, with an ordinary appearance, low eyebrows, and a humble look.
"Wang Chun pays homage to the envoy."
The **** did not have the slightest arrogance, he treated Cui Heng with a very respectful attitude, and even saluted in a proper manner.
"Sit down, please." Cui Heng nodded lightly and said with a smile, "What's the matter with my servant coming to Fengzhou?"
At the same time, he glanced at Wang Chun's attendants standing beside him.
This entourage is obviously not an ordinary person. Although his attitude is submissive and humble on the surface, there is still a sense of nobility in his bones, and he is obviously a high-ranking person.
"It's an important matter for the country." After Wang Chun said this, he stopped talking. He first glanced at Liu Litao next to him, and then at Cui Heng, hesitating to speak.
"Liu Zhizhong is my deputy, and I will leave soon. Wang Changshi can tell you anything he wants." Cui Heng shook his head lightly.
Of course it is impossible for him to dismiss his deputy because of a eunuch.
Because Wu Yin is still in the position of Biejia, Liu Litao is currently in the position of being engaged in history in Zhizhong. .
Liu Litao was deeply moved when he heard the words, and his desire to follow Cui Heng to the death became much stronger.
"In that case..." Wang Chun was a little silent when he heard the words, and finally made a decision. He stood up and said to the entourage beside him, "Mr. Chu, this matter is up to you."
"President Chu?!" Liu Litao looked at the attendant in astonishment.
"So it's the current prime minister." Cui Heng was still sitting there, looking at this old man dressed as a follower, quite surprised.
Although he didn't care much about the Jin court, he also knew that the current prime minister was called Chu Yuanliang, and he was not an ordinary prime minister.
Prime Minister, Lu Shang Shu Shi, the governor of Chinese and foreign military forces, envoys and festivals, and the leader of Zhongzhou Shepherd.
This is Chu Yuanliang's current official position.
In terms of power, he can be the prime minister for all military and political affairs in the country, and kill officials of the state pastor and below at will.
In simple terms, it is almost equivalent to the emperor.
Normally speaking, it is impossible for these official positions to be added to a person.
But under the rule of Emperor Jianyan, such a powerful prime minister really appeared.
This made Cui Heng very curious, what was the reason for the current prime minister to come to Fengzhou in person.
"The old man has met Cui Shijun." Chu Yuanliang did not have the airs of a top official, and his attitude was very respectful. He bowed to Cui Heng and said, "Please save Da Jin from the tired eggs!"
As soon as this remark came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Cui Heng looked strange, and Liu Litao was also stunned.
You still ask the local state shepherd to save Dajin these days?
It's fun without pushing!
"This is not only for the Jin Dynasty, but also for Shijun and yourself." Wang Chun said suddenly, "I think Shijun should have received the news that the grassland barbarians are going south to attack the city."
"Yeah." Cui Heng nodded lightly and frowned, "Is this related?"
"It is indeed related." Chu Yuanliang nodded, and said bitterly, "The emperor's decree said that the grassland call for levy Shan Yu is benevolent and loves the people, and it should not be trapped in the seven grassland states, so the ownerless Fengzhou was handed over. Yu Calling Shanyu.
"If this edict is used, this Fengzhou has already been owned by the prairie barbarians. When they go south to attack Yunshu County, they are actually taking back their land."
"?" Cui Heng almost thought he heard it wrong.
"The emperor is crazy?!" Liu Litao's eyes widened even more, and he looked at Chu Yuanliang in disbelief.
Is Jianyan Emperor Wei Yi's mind flooded?
Not satisfied with being taken away by the prairie barbarians before?
Now you are actually starting to cede the land on your own initiative? !
Unheard of! spanstyle>valley/spanstyle>
A wonderful work through the ages!
…
Zhongzhou, the imperial city of Jin Dynasty.
At this time, the court has become a mess.
A few days ago, Wei Yi suddenly informed all the courtiers that he secretly sent an edict to the grassland, ceding the entire Fengzhou to Hu Zheng Shanyu, the leader of the grassland barbarians.
Immediately afterwards, the Great Jin court received the news that the grassland barbarians had moved south and were about to attack Yunshu County.
The angry prime minister Chu Yuanliang vomited blood and passed out on the spot.
I haven't returned to the court until today.
All the courtiers were stunned by this explosive news.
They never dreamed that Emperor Jianyan, who usually looks like a fool waiting to die, would do such an outrageous thing.
It has been three years since the barbarians went south on the grassland.
At this time, they actually voluntarily ceded the territory of a state to Huzheng Shanyu? !
It's not a county and a city, it's a **** state!
There are only eleven states in Dajin!
No, there are only ten left now...
Anyone with a normal mind would not be able to do such a thing.
For how to deal with this matter, the upper court debated endlessly.
Jianyan Emperor Wei Yi yawned and staggered to the court hall.
Many courtiers suddenly fell silent.
But Wei Yi didn't talk to these courtiers.
He came to the jade steps, tilted his body, and lay on his side directly on the dragon chair.
His eyes were half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up.
Some courtiers couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is inherently responsible for guarding the land and herders. How can he cede the land and the people to the barbarians for no reason?"
Then another courtier came out and said: "Your Majesty, although there have been many people who have lost land and sought peace since ancient times, I have never heard of a king who gave land to others without fighting. Please withdraw the edict!"
With two people at the beginning, more and more courtiers stepped forward one after another, and their words became more and more fierce, and in the end even shouted such words as the subjugated king.
"Prince of subjugation?" Wei Yi suddenly uttered, lying on his side on the dragon chair.
He seemed to have been stimulated by something, and he instantly became more energetic, without any sleepiness before. He got up on the dragon chair, stood on the high jade steps, and in front of the dragon chair.
"Who said just now that I am the king of subjugation?" Wei Yi looked coldly at the officials from top to bottom.
There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to speak out.
Bang!
Wei Yi suddenly kicked over the table in front of him, clapping his hands and laughing, "Hahahaha, that's right! That's right, that's right, I am the king of subjugation!"
The courtiers were shocked and stunned, full of disbelief.
How can an emperor say that he is the king of subjugation?
At this time, Wei Yi seemed to have fallen into a state of mental excitement. He no longer looked down at the officials, but began to talk on his own on the jade steps.
"I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and worked hard to become the master of Zhongxing, and I will be famous in history. So I appointed the general Chen Pengju, and went up to the north. In just three years, I took back the land of Fengzhou and restored the mountains and rivers! /
"But then? What I'm waiting for is not to sing praises, but to persuade the ministers to ask me not to resort to militarism, shake the country's gates, and disturb people's livelihood. Let me issue an imperial decree to call Chen Pengju back to Beijing.
"I thought you were all ministers with a single heart, dedicated to the country. After listening to your words, Chen Pengju died while on the road. The hundreds of thousands of troops lost their backbone and were easily controlled by the aristocratic family.
"At that time, I knew that I couldn't be the master of Zhongxing, my heart was not cruel enough, my ears were too soft, and I still had a group of good courtiers, I couldn't accomplish great things. After thousands of years, no Those who are familiar with history books may not know my name.
"This is impossible! I came to this world, ascended the throne as the emperor, ruled the universe, and ruled the common people. I am special and different from ordinary people. How can I be submerged in the dust of history like the mediocre beings? Where?
"The one who can be engraved in the heart of the world, the founder of the country is the most important, the king of subjugation is second, and the lord of ZTE is the lowest. Since I can't be the lord of ZTE, it is also very good to be a king of subjugation , This is easier to be remembered by the world than the Lord of ZTE!
"So I didn't have a son, so I slaughtered my brothers, so I appointed traitors, so I only killed loyal ministers, so I ignored the government, so I let the local state herdsmen rule one side!
"Okay! That's great! Now that the country is subjugated and the court is in name only, why hasn't anyone come to capture the imperial city yet? I'm still waiting for self-immolation in the court, causing a sensation in the world and impressing countless people. !
"The hundred years is approaching, and the immortal Buddha from the upper realm is about to come. At that time, it will not be so easy for me to subjugate the country. I have no time. No one will come to perish the Great Jin, so I will perish by myself." Jin!
"I still want to tell you that what was sent to the grassland was the edict to cede the land, and the Hongwu Divine Sword that wiped out all the gods in the world three hundred years ago!
"This great Jin must perish! Hahahaha!!"
Jianyan Emperor Wei Yi's laughter echoed in the court hall.
The officials were horrified and dumbfounded, and no one dared to say a single word.
Crazy!
The emperor is crazy! !
It was enough to cede Fengzhou, but even the Hongwu Divine Sword was sent to the grassland.
That is a divine sword that can kill immortals and Buddhas in the upper realm!
How can this be done? !
…
Chu Yuanliang failed to get Cui Heng's promise on the spot after all~IndoMTL.com~ and had to leave in a hurry with Wang Chun.
As the current prime minister, he must not leave the capital for too long, otherwise disasters will happen.
Inside the Fengzhou Pastoral Office.
Cui Heng asked Liu Litao to call Zhang Shuming and Wu Yin over, explained the previous situation, and asked, "How credible do you think what Chu Yuanliang said?"
Zhang Shuming thought for a while and said: "Chu Yuanliang is the most powerful person in the dynasty. He came here to ask for help. This should be true."
Liu Litao also said: "Chu Yuanliang and Wang Chun came together to convince you of the authenticity of this matter."
Wu Yin nodded and said: "The lower officials think so too."
"Well." Cui Heng nodded lightly and said: "It is true that there is a high probability that it is true, but what Emperor Jianyan said is too unbelievable. It is probably not as simple as ceding Fengzhou."
Speaking of this, he said to Liu Litao: "There is no need to write a reply to Chen Tong, I will go to Yunshu County in person."
"Yes, envoy." Liu Litao nodded.
…
Twenty miles outside the city of Yunshu County in Fengzhou, a big camp is set up.
The army is approaching the city.
The sword is on the verge of breaking out.
In the tent of the king of Yunzhou in the rear, it is encouraging Shengping, and it is peaceful.
Hu Zheng Shanyu was in his prime of life, facing the big gift from Wei Yi, he naturally took it without hesitation, determined to take down Fengzhou City before the gods from the upper world descended.
At this time, he was wiping a seemingly ordinary fine iron long sword with a yellow silk edict, looking far to the south, and said with a smile: "Perhaps next winter, our clan will be able to rule the Central Plains!
"I also want to thank your emperor for the gift you gave me. When the city of Yunshu County is conquered, I will definitely slaughter the city as a thank you."
