This inexplicable riot was finally over.

After half of the soldiers and civilians in Zhongdu witnessed this great show, everyone was satisfied. Because everyone can see the scenes so clearly, there is less speculation and misinterpretation. After all, some key words were spoken by the emperor himself. Ordinary people would say a few sincere words when they were about to die. Could it be that the emperor's golden words could be false?

Because there were too many people holding the same idea, the trend in the court weakened a lot. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the interests that can be fought for in the court must be meager. Of course, the Kingdom of Jin will have a new emperor, but this emperor will be a complete clay sculpture and wooden body, without any authority or even honor at all. .

Marshal Guo Ning stayed behind closed doors for several days, only allowing Chu Cai to come forward to supervise the affairs. This was tantamount to telling everyone clearly that the pretense was of no use, but it was not suitable to tear it down directly for the time being. If you know what it looks like, please quickly place it properly so that someone in my country won't be upset looking at it.

The words of Marshal Guo, a great leader and loyal minister of the imperial court, naturally have to be obeyed by everyone from top to bottom.

As a result, many rituals that should have been solemn have been simplified. The prince, that is, the emperor, was sitting in front of the coffin. He ordered the Chinese and foreign officials to give him two favors, a piece of silk, rice and two stones for the widowed widow. On the same day, the Daxing Emperor's Zi Palace was moved to Da'an Hall. In the afternoon, Zhang Xingxin went to Shu again to ask for the crown prince, so he completed the process before the sun went down and made the prince Wan Yankeng the crown prince.

Of course, misfortunes have their roots. The next day, Zhao Bingwen, a well-known clerical master of the day, came forward and wrote an article denounced King Sui's treason of regicide and father-killing. First of all, he said that King Sui was completely like a tyrant. Alas, the gods are angry. Then he said that the heavens regretted the misfortune, but I continued to prosper, was favored by the world, and lived in a great position in the domain. I would bring order to the chaos, and my work was to revolutionize the situation. I expected things to perish as if they were still alive, and I thought about all the etiquette and so on.

The article was naturally good. It was read with a rhythm and full of momentum. All the ministers praised it and immediately arranged to read it far and near.

Previously, the courtiers had doubts and felt that everyone was a person of shame. Under the force and coercion of the so-called loyal minister of the court, some people might feel ashamed when they manipulated the imperial power as if it were nothing, and some might give up on the spot. It's embarrassing to move Chu Cai.

In fact, no, everything went smoothly, and everyone was relaxed and happy. Only Zhang Xingxin was a little sad because his brother died of illness, but this sadness was quickly replaced by peace of mind and calmness.

In the past few years, every change of emperor in the Kingdom of Jin was a test of the political wisdom or luck of the court officials. After fierce political upsurges, the loyal and important ministers of the Daxing Emperor were often dismissed, and even He would be executed because of the new emperor's suspicion, and the military and political strategies of the previous generation would also be wiped out, leaving a mess of feathers and a suddenly deteriorating state affairs, which would gradually cause headaches for the important ministers who came to power later.

This time is good, no one has been promoted or lost, and there is no need to worry about military and political matters. Such a ridiculous rebellion happened last night, which vented everyone's anger. Now everyone finished the things on the table in a harmonious manner, shouted "Long Live the Mountain", bowed politely, and then went back to their homes.

That night, some people's homes had lights brightly lit and stayed on all night. A certain civil servant stayed up late and wrote a long article, arguing that Marshal Guo Ning of the capital city could bring peace to many parties and had accomplished many achievements, so he should be given the title of Duke or King.

Even if the name of the prince is slower, at least he must be given the title of "Xuanli Loyal Minister" quickly, and then be imaged in Yanqing Palace, listed among the Xieye, Sagai, Zongqian, Zonghan and other sects that were founded during the reign of Taizu Taizong. Queen.

As a result, as soon as he read this long article the next day, Chu Cai's face turned ugly on the spot.

The man reacted quickly and said quickly, I wrote this memorial because Marshal Du retired humbly due to his great achievements, but to be fair, Marshal Du's portrait must be listed at the forefront of those sect kings.

With this explanation out of his mouth, Yizai Chucai simply ignored him.

Xu Ding, Gao Ruli and other civil servants were more politically sensitive. Knowing that Guo Ning was unwilling to even attend court meetings, they were unwilling to pretend in front of the Jurchens and had no intention of being ministers anymore.

The two men immediately went up and pulled away the flattering minister, and said repeatedly: Marshal Du's achievements are naturally worthy of being honored in Yanqing Palace, but Marshal Du is so young and will still have the opportunity to make contributions in the future, so why bother? Are you anxious?

The ministers quickly agreed and changed the topic.

But Zhang Xingxin and Zhao Bingwen have different ambitions. While the ministers were discussing, they drafted two memorials in the palace. They both said that the palace in Zhongdu was humid. In recent years, the renovation of the towers and oars had not been completed, and it was temporarily unsuitable to accommodate the Supreme Being. Therefore, the emperor and the prince were asked to move to Shenjing as soon as possible. The western mountain on the right arm.

In Xishan, there are eight water courtyards built during the reign of Emperor Zhangzong. Although they were damaged by war, their scale is still there. The clear snow in the Western Mountains is even more spectacular, which is also convenient for the emperor to maintain his health.

As for when the renovation of the palace in Zhongdu will be completed and when the emperor will be able to move back, it is natural to consider the current situation of the country's military and financial resources. If we can put aside all these unurgent tasks and nameless expenses, this will be the blessing of the country.

As soon as this memorial came out, Chu Cai immediately seconded it.

The officials understood Ding Haijun's intention, and they were all overjoyed and everyone agreed. The new emperor looked confused and didn't even utter a word of objection. He was surrounded by a large number of newly appointed servants and returned to the palace, preparing to pack up and move.

After all, this is the emperor, and he should be treated with a lot of honors and etiquette.

Although the old emperor's guard in Zhongdu has long been abandoned, and even in the Chang Dynasty, there are only a hundred crossbowmen in two ranks, but all the ministers know that Marshal Guo cherishes feathers very much and values ​​his reputation among the people. Therefore, the ministers worked together to increase the damage in an intricate manner. In less than ten days, the Changxingyi Guards and Palace Directors were arranged. Even the Eight Great Water Courtyards on the Xishan Mountains had to be repaired urgently. At least Tanshui Both the courtyard and the Qingshui courtyard were large enough for the emperor and his son to move in.



At the end of the month, His Majesty the new emperor, surrounded by the guards on his left and right and General Su Zhi, put up his guard of honor and went out from the Danfeng Gate of the palace, turning to the west. Twenty people from the left and right squads of ceremonial attendants came out with him.

When we arrived at the market, we suddenly saw many people standing on both sides of the street early, waiting eagerly. From a distance, we saw the mighty figures of soldiers in full uniform, lined up like a forest. Some people were impatient and were already kneeling on the roadside in confusion.

The young emperor was shocked. He threw himself outside the chariot and shouted: "Stop! Stop! What's going on? Why didn't I know?"

The chamberlain went to ask, and then came back to report: "Your Majesty, Marshal Guo took his wife and son out of the city for inspection today. His ceremonial driver came out of Marshal Du's Mansion in the south and walked for a while on Danfengmen Street. These are all for Guo The crowd seeing the marshal off...ahem, they didn't know that His Majesty was traveling, and they didn't even say anything to Daxing Mansion."

The emperor patted his chest in relief, feeling a little happy about escaping, but also a little sad. Before they could say anything, Dong Jin, the former Touzhizhi general, shouted, and the convoy accelerated and turned around, bypassing the main road.

Just at this moment, Guo Ning's motorcade left the Marshal's Mansion.

Guo Ning doesn't like others to kneel down frequently, but he also knows that old habits are hard to change. Moreover, certain ritual things just stabilize people's hearts and are also helpful for Ding Haijun to take root and control in Dajin Zhongdu and the center.

He wanted to ride out and wave to those who were saluting, but he was afraid that if he opened the window, the cold air would come in and freeze Lu Han. So he gathered his thoughts and sat down in the car to read the documents.

Since Lu Han arrived in Zhongdu, he has been living in the heavily guarded marshal's mansion and rarely goes out. Now I can finally travel and get some fresh air, and I feel very happy. She hugged the thick quilt, patted the child gently, looked at her husband, and couldn't help but smile: "Jin Qing is still busy, and you just waved your hands and ran away, is it appropriate?"

Guo Ning chuckled twice: "At this time, we need someone to rush to the front. You can't always expect me to be a bad guy, right? Jin Qing always hopes that his feet will not get muddy, but that won't work!"

Lu Han rolled his eyes at him.

After a while, seeing that the document he was reading was very long, Lu Han couldn't help but ask: "What is this? It has more than ten pages of paper?"

"This is a letter submitted by a scholar this morning to persuade me to join. He praised me and talked about the three generations of Tang and Yu."

"Is it well written?"

"This..." Guo Ning thought for a while and said sternly: "The ink is bright and the paper is white. It's pretty good."
