On July 1st, the Kang Dynasty was established. Sima Dezong, the emperor of Jin Dynasty, accompanied by King Langya, came to Taiji Hall to accept the worship of the ministers.
After the court visit, before Liu Muzhi came out to report something, someone from the court team stood up impatiently and loudly said: "Zhu Jie, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a note to report."
Zhu Jie was originally from Yongzhou. He escorted Queen Mother He back to Beijing and stayed in the capital as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At first, Zhu Jie believed that Liu Yu was powerful and abandoned Yang Anxuan to join him. However, after more than ten years in the capital, he was not favored by Liu Yu and was still wasting his time in the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Seeing that his time has passed, Zhu Jie sighed. He wanted to serve, but he was not Song Gong's confidant, and he had no chance to get close to him. He couldn't find the chance to flatter him.
There is a rumor in the capital that Duke Song defeated Yong Gong's troops and wanted to seek the position of Jiuxi. Zhu Jie felt that the opportunity had come. If he could be the first to ask for Jiuxi to be added to Song Gong, Song Gong would win the world in the future. He would be the first to make great contributions. If you want to be promoted to an official position, this business is worthless.
Looking around, there were many people who had the same thoughts as him. Zhu Jie made up his mind that he could only stand up and start playing immediately after the worship. You must know that there is a huge difference between the credit of initiating and seconding the proposal.
Without waiting for King Langya to speak, Zhu Jie said directly: "The Duke of Song Dynasty was ordered to attack the rebellious minister Yang Anxuan. When the soldiers arrived, the officials looked at the wind and descended, and the people ate pots of pulp to welcome the king's troops. The Duke of Song Dynasty came out of the feudal vassal to join the auxiliary, and led him to protect Bi. , the use of Fu wealth, the rise of territory, and the honor of Kang Yunei. I asked the Duke of the Song Dynasty to grant him the title of Prime Minister of the country, to confer the land of ten counties, and to give him the gift of nine tins in recognition of his merits."
The court was in an uproar. Although most people knew that someone would offer Song Gong the gift of Nine Tins during the Hajj today, many people were still frightened when it happened. Adding Nine Tins meant that a change of dynasty was not far away, and every change of dynasty was accompanied by bloodshed. .
Some people paused secretly, originally wanting to follow the custom of King Langya saying a few words before starting the performance, but after a slight delay, Zhu Jie overcame him.
Liu Muzhi felt cold in his heart. This Zhu Shilang was too impatient. He actually ignored his dignity in order to grab the credit. Such a sycophant could never be allowed to stay in the court. He would find an excuse to put him away during the examination next year. Bar.
Shangshu ordered Liu Liu to die of illness this month, and Shangshu Zuopu shot Liu Muzhi as the leader in the court. Liu Muzhi stood up unhurriedly, bowed to the emperor and King Langya, and said: "What Zhu Shilang has said is very true. Song Gong is a wise and wise man. His destiny is as expected. He supports your majesty and has brilliant merits. He should be the ten counties. I will be granted a title and given the gift of nine tins, and my position should be among the princes and kings. I wish you long live for approval."
Seeing Liu Muzhi's words, Yuan Zhan, Zhao Lunzhi, Kong Jing, Xu Xianzhi, Wang Jinghong, Xie Pu and many other civil and military officials came out to echo: "Long live for your approval."
Sima Dezong looked dull and sat motionless, showing no shock or fear. King Langya on the side looked at the crowd of ministers in the main hall, who were eager to force him into the palace. He felt sad in his heart and looked at the few ministers who had not moved.
Prince Liang and Taichang Sima Zhen had earth-colored faces. They looked down at the ground and did not dare to make a sound. Upon seeing this, the Yin friends, the ministers of the ancestral hall, all came out of the class and loudly said, "I think this is not possible."
There was a voice of opposition among the echoes. Everyone looked sideways and saw clearly that it was Yin Youqi, the minister of the ancestral temple. It was extremely risky to speak out against it at this time. If one mistake was made, the family would be destroyed. Everyone was silent and watched the development of the situation.
Langya King Sima Dewen was refreshed and said: "Yin Qing is here to play."
"Song Gong's contribution to the world and the prosperity of the people should be rewarded. However, Jiuxi is not a courtesy for human ministers. I think it will not be too late to discuss the reward when Song Gonggong kills Yang Anxuan and offers prisoners to his subordinates."
Dong Huai, the Minister of the Fifth Army, came out and said: "I think what the Minister of Yin said is true. I can first appoint Song Gong as the Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Chief Baikui, and supervise all the Chinese and foreign military forces. The governor of Yangzhou will not change until the Song Dynasty is destroyed." After Yang Anxuan, it is not too late to discuss the gift of Jiuxi."
With Yinyou Qi and Dong Huai taking the lead, there were finally a few people in the court who came out to join in.
Liu Muzhi snorted coldly and said, "Shang Shu Yin, you have always had a close relationship with Yang Anxuan. Is it possible that you are connected with him and intend to target Song Gong?"
Everyone knows that Yin Youqi's two sons are important ministers under Yong Gong. It is absolutely impossible to say that they have no relationship with Yong Gong.
Many people were worried when they heard Liu Muzhi yelling harshly. Yin Youqi's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Why did Liu Pushe say this? If the Military Intelligence Department finds out that Yu is having an affair with Yang Anxuan, Liu Pushe can just send someone to arrest Yu and imprison him for punishment."
The Department of Military Intelligence closely monitors the underworld. There are many servants in the underworld who are the eyes and ears of the Department of Military Intelligence. However, Yin Youqi never communicates with Yang Anxuan, nor does he talk about Yang Anxuan with his wife and children at home. All news is passed through the hidden posts of the secret guards. , the Military Intelligence Department couldn't catch Yin Youqi.
The minister was an important member of the imperial court, and it was impossible for Liu Yu to punish him for no reason. After Huanxuan usurped the throne, he trapped the emperor and King Langya in Xunyang. Yinji was one of the few officials who followed him, and his loyalty was praised by the world.
What's more, Yin Youqi has been in the capital for many years and has made many friends, relatives, and old officials. Sanqi often served Wen Zhi and said angrily: "Does Liu Pushe want to incriminate him?"
Although Liu Muzhigui was Shangshu Zuopushe and was the spokesperson of Song Gong in the court, he came from a humble background and was not accepted by the nobles. Many nobles looked down on him because of his background.
Langya King Sima Dewen said: "You can speak freely in the court, Liu Qing cannot suppress your speech."
Liu Muzhi was stunned. In the past, Sima Dewen sat at the banquet and hummed, nodding and agreeing with everything he played. Today, he actually rebuked himself. Judging from his words and deeds, he did not want to be granted the title of Duke of Song Dynasty.
Thinking of his son's words and Fu Liang's words before leaving, Liu Muzhi knew that if he backed down, he would definitely leave an untrustworthy shadow in Liu Yu's heart. At this time, he could no longer retreat and could only argue with reason.
Liu Muzhi stood up straight, looked directly at Sima Dewen, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty is just and righteous all over the world. It has great authority and the people are obedient. Now I am leading the tiger and wolf army to fight abroad and have made many meritorious deeds. If the court cannot reward according to merit, In order to bring peace to the world, I am afraid that great changes are about to occur and disaster is imminent. I hope that the king will think twice."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to the ground, Sima Dewen looked at Liu Muzhi, with both hatred and fear in his eyes. Liu Muzhi's words revealed murderous intent. He was determined to defeat the enemy to the death, but when it came to the end, he was panicked and prepared to rebuke him. I dare not say the words.
Seeing this, Zhu Jie knelt down in front of the steps and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the Zhou Road is far away, the phoenix is singing in the Qishan Mountains, and since the Song Dynasty Duke came to power, there have been frequent auspiciousness. This is the will of the gods. Please obey the destiny and show your answers to the crowd." I hope you will honor the grand ceremony. Confer the ten counties as fiefdoms to the Duke of Song Dynasty, prepare the gift of nine tins, add seals and ribbons, and travel crowns, place them on the princes and kings, and add the green ribbons of the prime minister's country."
A large number of people knelt down in the court hall, and they all petitioned to add ten counties to the Song Dynasty as a fiefdom and give them the gift of nine tins. Yin Youqi and Dong Huai looked at each other and sighed, saying nothing.
Sima Dewen covered his face with his sleeves. Today, there was a forced execution in the court, and these ministers even lost their last dignity.
Chu Danzhi, the cavalry officer, urged loudly: "Your Majesty, the general trend is irresistible. Please obey the destiny and make an early decision."
With tears in Sima Dewen's eyes, he looked at the hateful faces in the palace and gritted his teeth and said: "Since all the ministers thought that Duke Song should be rewarded heavily, I can only obey orders. I appointed Duke Song as Prime Minister, Taiwei, Chief Baikui, and Governor. In addition to the governor of Yangzhou, all Chinese and foreign military officers also serve as governors of Yong, Si, Yan, and Liangzhou; in addition to the four counties of Pengcheng, Peijun, Lanling, and Xiapi, Chenliu, Runan, Ruyin, Xingyang, Lu, and The six counties of Taishan were fiefdoms for Song Gong; the gift of Jiuxi was personally awarded by the Emperor after Song Gong returned to the court after his victory."
Sima Dewen also considered that the six counties including Liu Yuyong, Si, Yan, Liang, and Zeng were all Yang Anxuan's territory. If Liu Yu could defeat Yang Anxuan, the world would naturally belong to him. If he could not defeat Yang Anxuan, all the people would belong to him. Rewards are just empty words.
Except for suspending the gift of Jiuxi, all other requests have been granted. The courtiers all looked at Liu Muzhi, who was Liu Yu's spokesperson, and asked him to nod whether he agreed.
Liu Muzhi thought in his mind that what happened today was like forcing him to die, and he was on the road to death. Even if Song Gong could inherit the throne in the future, how would the history books describe him? He was already old, and he was afraid that it would harm his descendants.
In his words, King Langya did not refuse to add nine tins to Song Gong, but postponed the time until Song Gong returned to the court. He looked up and saw Sima Dewen frightened and his body was like chaff. Liu Muzhi couldn't bear the pressure anymore and knelt down and kowtowed. Said: "Wei ministers obey the order."
…………
On July 1st, Pingcheng Dynasty was held. Tuoba Si, the emperor of Wei, ascended to the throne and accepted the worship of the ministers.
Sanqi Changshi Yueli Yan reported the situation of Rouran's envoy. The (Northern) Wei Dynasty and Rouran were constantly fighting. The current Rouran Khan is Yujiulu Datan, the son of Rouran Khan Yujiulu Shelun.
In 410, the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Rouran. Rouran was defeated and Yujiulu Shelun died in battle. Because his son Yu Jiulu Duba was too young to convince the public, the tribe elected his younger brother Yu Jiulu Hulu to be the Khan. Yu Jiulu Shelun's nephew Yu Jiulu Buluzhen plotted to seize the throne and instigated minister Shuli to kidnap Yu Jiulu Duba and go to ( North) Yan, Yujiulu Bu Luzhen became the Great Khan of Rouran; Yu Jiulu Bu Luzhen was killed by Yu Jiulu Dayan within less than a year of becoming the Khan. Yu Jiulu Dayan commanded other tribes to guard the western border, which was quite popular among the people. , the tribe expressed support for him as Khan.
In order to unify the north and the south, the (Northern) Wei Dynasty fought with Rouran for many years. Both sides suffered numerous casualties. Rouran was at a disadvantage. However, Tuoba Gui and Tuoba Si were unable to concentrate their forces to send troops south because of the existence of Rouran.
Yujiulu Datanxiongcai had a rough strategy. Not long after the Khan ascended the throne, he sent envoys to form an alliance with Yan Fengba (Northern) and sent troops into Monan to peek into Wei's territory. Coinciding with the successive years of drought in Wei, Tuoba Si was afraid that Rouran and Yan would join forces to attack, so he sent an envoy to Rouran and (Northern) Yan to express his intention of reconciliation. Yue Liyan reported in return that the Rouran Khan was willing to call off the war. Shang, while (Northern) Yan Fengba was afraid of Wei's military power and was willing to serve as a vassal.
Immediately afterwards, Xingtai Shangshu Yanfeng reported that the weather was going well this year, with abundant grain harvests and sufficient storage. Hou An of Beixin reported that there was a war between Song and Yong in Jin State. Both sides mobilized more than 100,000 troops each, and Song Gong Liu Yu had the upper hand.
Tuoba Si was overjoyed and said: "The Jin Kingdom, Song Dynasty and Yong Dynasty are fighting each other, and I can take the opportunity to go south. Didn't Liu Yu ask me to send troops to attack Yong Dynasty? Let them fight for a while, and then attack Yang Anxuan on the pretext of Song Gong's invitation, and seize Si, In the land of Yan and Yong, horses are herded along the Yangtze River.”
Shanyang Hou Xijin said with a smile: "The envoy sent by Liu Yu met with me and said that Luoyang was the old capital of Jin and was occupied by the beetle Yang Anxuan. The emperor of Jin wanted to build a mountain mausoleum, and the Duke of Song was ordered to attack him. Now the Jin and Wei Dynasties To form an alliance, I would like to use 70,000 pieces of silk to ask your Majesty to send troops to help. Hahaha, my own family is fighting, and yet I invite outsiders to help, this Duke of Song is really shameless."
Tuoba Si stood up excitedly and said: "Don't pay attention to him for now. At that time, he was trying to tide over the difficulties with food for the Jin State. Now it's his turn to beg me. I'm planning to go to Niuchuan (near the Tabu River in Ulanqab League, Inner Mongolia today)." ) held a grand hunt and gathered a hundred thousand warriors to follow, so that Wei Wei (Wei's derogatory name for Rouran), Yan and Jin could see the power of our great Wei."
