Ling is definitely not a good posthumous title.
If Chen Yuan had not exposed Jingtai's blood sacrifice of millions of lives in the Battle of Purple Mountain, neither the ministers nor his son Sima Ke would have done such a thing.
After all, no matter what, Jingtai is also his father.
And to be honest, although Jingtai has been in power for decades, although he has no extraordinary achievements, he also has no major faults, and he even has very few concubines.
There has never been any major construction work.
At least he can get the posthumous title of Lord of Moderation.
However, Chen Yuan made his scandal public to the world, and also provided conclusive evidence to prove it. Now the public opinion in the world is raging.
It's impossible to cover it up.
Jingtai must and can only have this posthumous title.
After Sima Ke decided on Jingtai's posthumous title, he quickly buried him in the imperial mausoleum. His body had long been destroyed in the hands of Chen Yuan, and the only thing in the coffin was the dragon robe he wore. .
On the day of his burial, during the day, people gathered to mourn and see the emperor off, but at night, clusters of fireworks went up, lighting up the night sky of Shenjing City.
There is no prohibition here.
Of course, it’s just not appropriate.
If someone else had become the emperor, they might have instituted a city-wide curfew, held a grand parade in the emperor's honor, and gone on a vegetarian diet for three days in order to honor the emperor.
But Sima Ke didn't. Although the ministers below were excited and wanted to severely punish the unruly people, he ignored them and allowed fireworks to explode in the city.
And his laissez-faire also caused Shenjing City to explode almost all night long on the night of Jingtai's death. Until dawn, no one dared to defy the wind and go against the court.
The reason why these people did this was because they really hated the emperor too much. The rest of their achievements were nothing, but the day when the Emperor of Zijin Mountain ascended the throne to observe the ceremony.
But it brings together nearly a million people.
Although some people from the other four prefectures of Zhongzhou and even people from outside Zhongzhou came to watch the ceremony, if we really count them down, most of them were people from the capital.
In that battle, although the people ran quickly when they saw that the situation was not going well, the aftermath of the battle was still too horrific, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead.
Although the capital city is empty of houses, almost every family has someone dead or injured. These hatreds and grievances will only be directed at Jingtai.
Many people were secretly scolding Jingtai for being crazy and sacrificing people's blood. No one knows how many people died in his hands, but he was the most stupid king in the history.
Why not celebrate his death?
Imperial City, Star Observation Tower.
This building is one of the few buildings Jingtai ordered to build. It was originally used for cultivation and to attract the stars from heaven and earth, but now it has become a place where the new emperor Sima Ke watches the fireworks.
He was wearing a dragon robe, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep.
Looking at the fireworks exploding in the night sky, I always feel a little familiar.
What are you thinking about?
hiss,
It seemed to be the scene when his father was killed by Chen Yuan's sword in Purple Mountain. At that time, he remembered that his father seemed to be like a cluster of fireworks, exploding in the void.
It left a very deep impression on him.
"looking at what?"
The eldest princess Pingyang, wearing a phoenix robe, slowly walked to the side of the new emperor Sima Ke.
Sima Ke did not look back, but pointed at the fireworks and said:
"Sister Huang, look at these exploding fireworks, do they look like when the old thing died?"
Princess Pingyang "..."
She was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"It's quite similar."
As one of the people behind the scenes of the new emperor Sima Ke... although Princess Pingyang is still a princess on the surface, in fact, she is the real emperor.
Whether it was the Tianxian Division, the military, or some of the civil and military officials in the court, they all recognized the situation after Sima You's death and began to serve Princess Pingyang.
Any decree made by Sima Ke must be consulted in advance. Only when she thinks it is okay can she formally issue the decree, while Sima Ke is more like a puppet in name only.
Even if he wanted to get rid of Chen Yuan's control in the future, there would be no way.
Princess Pingyang finally realized her dream at this time and took control of the lifeline of the Jin Dynasty, although it is impossible to say how long it was.
But at least it will still be like this when Chen Yuan has not yet invaded Zhongzhou.
"Jianye...Jianye...hehe..."
Thinking about his reign name, even Sima Ke himself laughed. Although the reign name has not been officially changed yet and needs to wait until the first day of January next year, it has finally been decided.
is a good sign.
He wasn't going to change it anymore, because she felt it was unnecessary. With his strength and means, it was really impossible to 'build a business' or even keep it.
The time he can be emperor only depends on when Chen Yuan comes.
Princess Pingyang had no reaction to Sima Ke's self-deprecation and just asked:
"Has the Queen returned to the palace?"
The former empress had passed away along with Jingtai. As the mother of the new emperor, Concubine Yang was finally promoted from a noble concubine to the master of the harem.
Queen Mother!
"No, the queen mother said it would be good for her to stay in Wu'anhou Mansion for the time being. Anyway... there is no one in the palace."
Yang Guifei's old enemy and the eldest prince's biological mother has also passed away. She doesn't want to stay in the palace. It would be good to live quietly in the former Wu'an Hou Mansion.
She also knew how her son, the emperor, came to be and what the consequences would be in the future. There was no need to change places.
"You make your own decision."
Princess Pingyang shook her head. It was a trivial matter and she just said it casually.
"I'm going to invite the Queen Mother to the palace in person. What do you think, Sister Huang?"
Now that he has predicted his own fate, he naturally wants to get closer to Chen Yuan. The first thing is that the relationship between his mother and Chen Yuan cannot be severed.
In this way, he can still be a 'son'.
In his opinion, the reason why Chen Yuan colluded with the queen in the first place was that he liked the queen's identity at that time. After all, she was the imperial concubine, so there was a sense of taboo.
But as Chen Yuan's status became higher and higher, it seemed that a noble concubine was no longer enough.
The Queen Mother is obviously more attractive.
"Just make your own decision. I am here to warn you."
Princess Pingyang stared at the bright fireworks and said calmly.
"Sister Royal, please give me your instructions."
"Zhang Yantong, Li Yang, and some civil and military personnel in the court have begun to have close contact with other forces. Now that you have successfully ascended the throne, do you know what you should do?"
"I know. I'll write to Chen Yuan as soon as I get back."
Sima Ke nodded quickly.
"Chen Yuan?"
Sima Ke's smile stopped, he stared at Princess Pingyang for a moment, and continued:
"Father...hehe...Father..."
"Don't stop the fireworks, I like to watch them."
Princess Pingyang pointed outside and said.
"Okay, okay, my brother understands."
"It's a good thing that the old man died. We have to celebrate it no matter what. Let's wait until after the New Year. After the New Year, what's the New Year without lighting fireworks?"
"That's what the imperial sister said."
"Emperor, please step aside first, and I will enjoy it for a while longer."
Princess Pingyang said casually.
Emperor Jianping Sima Ke immediately bowed and said:
"I...my brother is resigning..."
...
Royal study room.
Emperor Jianping Sima Ke sat on the seat where Emperor Jingtai once sat, with a red-robed eunuch waiting beside him. If Chen Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize him.
It was Yang Yuanqing who had competed with him for the position of commander of the imperial city.
After Cao Zhengxian died, Yang Yuanqing, one of his most valued godsons, not only did not leave with him, but was the first to choose to surrender.
Sima Ke thought about it and left it.
It seems quite interesting to let Chen Yuan humiliate him in the future.
Yang Yuanqing sharpened the ink and brought the fine gold brush dipped in ink to Sima Ke. He took the pen, stared at the white paper below, took a deep breath, forced a smile, and started writing.
"Father Qi, my son Chen Ke is fortunate to be protected by his father, and the emperor's sister, Master Zhang, and Master Li are assisting him. Now he has obtained a great treasure, been promoted to emperor, and has the title of Jianye. I wish my father to establish a career as soon as possible! Although my son is an emperor, he knows himself. Father will always be his father. When he thinks that his father is thousands of miles away in Shuzhou, his son will miss him unbearably, and his mother will have trouble sleeping at night. What if his father wants anything.
My son will give his full support to help his father achieve the throne of human emperor. The son and the emperor's sister missed their father every day, hoping that his father would come soon to save the child from the fire and water.
Son, written by Chen Ke himself! "
"call...."
Sima Ke picked up the paper, blew lightly to dry the ink, and the smile on his face gradually faded away. The reason why it changed was because he truly assumed the role of his son.
The letter written to Chen Yuan must express true feelings.
This is a life-saving talisman in the future.
He slowly folded the paper and put it into the envelope. He turned his eyes to the eunuch beside him and said:
"Yuan Qing."
"The slave is here..."
Yang Yuanqing quickly forced out a flattering smile. Although he was placed at his disposal by the emperor, in order to eliminate unnecessary troubles for him, restrictions had been carved into his soul.
With the help of the exotic treasure, Sima Ke was able to decide his life or death with a single thought.
"It's up to you to deliver this letter."
"My servant obeys the order." Yang Yuanqing raised his head, carefully looked at the envelope, and found that there was nothing on it, so he asked curiously:
"May I ask, Your Majesty, to whom is this letter sent?"
"Shuzhou Chen Yuan."
"Slave..." Yang Yuanqing was about to obey the order, but suddenly he was stunned for a moment. The flattering smile on his face also stiffened at this moment, and he opened his mouth with fear in his heart.
When he was almost half crippled by Chen Yuan in the first place, he really hated the other person and wanted to eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, and swallow his blood to vent his hatred.
But as Chen Yuan's status became higher and higher, and his strength became stronger and stronger, he no longer had this thought, only the endless fear in his heart that one day Chen Yuan would take revenge on him.
Now, it seems...the end has arrived.
"What, you don't want to go?"
Sima Ke glanced at Yang Yuanqing, his eyes darkened. Although he was just a fake emperor, and although he had no power, he was still an emperor after all.
He also controlled Yang Yuanqing's lifeline, and almost a glance brought him endless pressure.
Yang Yuanqing dwarfed and quickly fell to his knees:
"No, no... the slave is just..."
"I know that you and Chen Yuan have some grievances, but who are you now and what is his identity? Do you really think he will remember you? It's best to let him calm down his anger now. Do you understand?"
"Slave, I understand that Master Chen will never be as familiar as this slave."
"Well, if you know, go down and deliver it to Chen Yuan as soon as possible."
Sima Ke handed the letter in his hand to Yang Yuanqing.
After watching him leave with his own eyes, Sima Ke chuckled and said outside:
"Someone is coming."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
The two eunuchs quickly knelt on the ground.
"Go and tell the following that a personal eunuch will be sent to me from tomorrow."
"Then Eunuch Yang..."
The two eunuchs were stunned for a moment and raised their heads in a panic.
"He is about to die..."
...
...
When great changes occurred in the divine capital city, Chen Yuan was still on his way back to Shuzhou and had no idea what was happening in the capital city, to be honest.
The arrangement for Sima Ke's mother and son was just his casual arrangement. It was not certain whether it would succeed or not. If it was the best, he could control the situation faster.
In the future, we can occupy Zhongzhou faster.
It doesn't matter if he can't succeed, he doesn't care much anyway, if he dies, he will die.
And just when Chen Yuan was about to arrive in Shuzhou, the news that the new emperor Sima Ke had rebelled, killed Sima You, and ascended the throne as emperor quickly began to spread to the outside world.
Everyone applauded Jingtai's posthumous title.
It is not too much to match such a foolish king with a spirit.
Posthumous titles such as Li, You, and Hun are also acceptable. Anyway, those forces that are hostile to the imperial court are very happy, because the name of their rebellion is better.
You can gain more fame by attacking the faint king and the violent Jin Dynasty.
Chen Yuan knew about this because he was shocked when he learned the news from Su Ziyue after returning to Shuzhou City.
Unintentionally, Sima Ke, no, that woman, Princess Pingyang, really had some tricks. In just half a month, she wiped out the remaining power of the Sima family.
Saved him a lot of trouble.
He was also very satisfied with the posthumous title given to Jingtai.
He is a foolish king himself. If he were to be matched with Emperor Wu or Emperor Wen, he would not have the qualifications. It would only make the people of the world even more disgusted with the imperial court.
As for the only regret, I guess it was that I couldn't kill Cao Zhengxian's old dog with my own hands. That guy also gave him eye drops many times.
It would be a bit uncomfortable not to die in his own hands.
But that's all.
Chen Yuan put down some reports about Shenjing City in his hand, turned to look at Su Ziyue beside him and smiled:
"It's been a hard time."
As Su Ziyue has a powerful natal family (Taoist Palace), and with Chen Yuan's approval, she is already a well-deserved mistress with high prestige.
There are naturally many things to deal with every day.
It even delayed my practice because of it.
Chen Yuan also knew that she was very tired.
Su Ziyue shook her head, looked at Chen Yuan with some worry and said:
"It's your hard work. Senior Moro said before that you failed to overcome the tribulation and died. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
"Haha, Senior Moro is old."
Chen Yuan didn't ask her what she was thinking because he could guess it.
...
Asking for a monthly ticket!
It's gone twice as fast, brothers....
