What?
Do you want to personally mention the Sixth Division? Are you going to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains?
Except for a few ministers who knew the details, everyone else was stunned. Who in Wu Zhou's side doesn't know that Wu Yingxiong is a rich man. The rich man is not satisfied with being the "Emperor of Zhou" and wants to go north to the Central Plains. Did he really believe the nonsense that "three parts of the world belong to one bear"? Didn't he ask someone to make this auspicious thing?
These ministers of Wu and Zhou were so surprised and had been "without a father and a king" for several years that they forgot to answer the question for a moment. Seeing the somewhat cold scene, Wu Yingxiong, the new emperor of Zhou, looked at his face and his face sank. Hong Shiming, "Hong Guozhang", has been enjoying himself during the shift, almost shaking his head. He had been depressed in the Qing Dynasty, and he was not popular when he came to Wu Sangui. At the beginning, he did not even have a formal establishment and had no place to receive his salary. Fortunately, Wu Yingxiong still remembered some of his past friendship and accepted him as an aide. He thought he was just looking for an iron job, but unexpectedly he met Kong Sizhen, a noble man. .
Kong Sizhen risked his life to help Wu Yingxiong. He only got a noble concubine, but Hong Shiming, who was just talking about it, got a big advantage. Not only did he become Wu Yingxiong's number two confidant, he also became the "father of the state"... He didn't even have a daughter, but he actually became the only living "father of the state" in Dazhou. What a blessing. It’s really unstoppable!
"Hong Guozhang" was looking beautiful when he suddenly realized that he was in a cold spot. He hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming! I, the great Zhou Dynasty, obeyed the people, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty did the opposite. How can the emperor defeat the rebels with obedience? Besides, Mongolia Both the Yuan, Zhu and Ming dynasty regarded the Manchus as their enemy bandits, and they must be eliminated first and then quickly! The envoy of the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty requested to join forces to attack the Qing Dynasty arrived in Xiangjing yesterday. This is a great cause accomplished by God's help!"
"Hong Guozhang"'s words were true. The smile on "Emperor Zhou" Wu Yingxiong's face grew thicker again, and he immediately said with a smile: "You may all know this Mongolian envoy, he is the original Pingnan Wang Shangzhixin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He was the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty. , when the queen was living in the Bada Hutong, she and Geng Jingzhong took refuge with Genghis God-Blessed Khan and became a member of the Han army. A few days ago, Burney heard that Kangxi was defeated in Korea and Liaodong one after another and suffered heavy losses. Join forces with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to carve up Qingluo's thoughts. That's why I sent Shang Zhixin to Xiangjing... As long as I join forces with Burni and Zhu Heji, Qingluo will not be a loser?"
This sounds reasonable!
But what about Mr. Wu from Xi'an? He doesn't plan to be "Yuan Tan" anymore?
Wu Yingxiong seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the people below, and immediately turned the conversation to Wu Yingqi, "Ying Qi and I had a little misunderstanding before, but now we have figured it out...Burni Great Khan and Monk Wanhu also Willing to mediate."
His eyes swept through the ranks of important ministers in front of him and fell on Hu Guozhu, "Guozhu!"
"I'm here." Hu Guozhu immediately left work and knelt down.
"Hu Qing, please get back on your feet quickly," Wu Yingxiong hurriedly called Hu Guozhu to stand up. When he saw the other party standing up swaggeringly, he continued, "I would like to invite you to go to Xi'an to deliver the decree and canonize my brother Ying Qi as King of Yan. My nephew Shicong is the king of Qin, and I urge them to put the common people of the world first and march to Beijing together with Burni Khan."
Hu Guozhu smiled and clasped his fists: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will honor my orders!"
Wu Yingxiong seemed very excited. He stood up from the throne in a hurry, walked a few steps, and then stood still. He said proudly: "Even if Xuan Ye has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to arrive at the Ming Dynasty, Dayuan Dynasty, and my three heavenly soldiers at the same time! Once I have established contact with the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, I will personally mobilize an army of 100,000 to march north to the Central Plains to destroy this imperial power!"
Now the ministers of Wu and Zhou who were originally suspicious of Wu Yingxiong became excited and prostrated one after another, shouting "Long live the mountain".
Wu Yingxiong also showed a look of iron blood, as if the glorious Qing Dynasty that dominated the northern country had become a dish of Qing Dynasty, just waiting for him, the Emperor of Zhou, to lay his hands on it!
...
Wu Yingxiong got off the chariot at the main entrance of Longfeng Palace. When he strolled in, it was already dark... He had been working really hard today. He had been busy from early morning to now, ascended the throne, and It is to worship heaven and earth, to worship the Ancestral Temple, and to review the three armies. However, he didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't even feel sleepy. He was still full of energy.
Princess Jianning, now the Empress of Da Zhou, was of course notified of His Majesty's arrival, and now she was greeted at the entrance of the main hall with "Hong Guifei" Kong Sizhen.
Jianning stood and performed a blessing ceremony, while Kong Sizhen knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. Even though Queen Jianning was only one level older than Concubine Kong Sizhen, their status in Wu Yingxiong's harem was really far apart.
There is no such thing as palace fighting...
Wu Yingxiong nodded towards Jianning as a gift in return, but ignored Kong Sizhen. He just walked with Jianning to the throne in the main hall, and then sat down together.
After sitting down, Wu Yingxiong called to Kong Sizhen and said, "Sizhen, come here and talk."
"yes."
Kong Sizhen responded, stood up, moved lightly on her lotus steps, arrived in front of Wu Yingxiong, and knelt down again.
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said: "Sizhen, Sun Yanling has been granted the title of Duke of the State. One of his two sons is the Crown Prince, and the other has been granted the title of Yidingwei Qianhu."
"I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness."
Kong Sizhen quickly thanked him.
Sun Yanling's two sons were both born to her, and the titles and official positions Wu Yingxiong gave them were rewards for Kong Sizhen.
Wu Yingxiong then said: "Sizhen... I have sent Wang Fuzhi and Wan Sitong to Nanjing to meet Prince Zhu San. You can leave for Beijing tomorrow! You must make it clear to Kangxi and the Queen Mother Now, I will be content with only one third of the world. Now I only want to hold up the banner of the Northern Expedition, firstly to unite people's hearts, and secondly for the sake of peace!"
"I must have a good talk with them."
"Your Majesty," Princess Jianning interjected at this time, "You really don't want to lose three points to one bear?"
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said to Kong Sizhen: "Sizhen, tell them that Ying Qi and Burni are marching from the grassland... and then try to follow Xuan Ye's army northward, and wait until the war is over. Report it right away!”
"Yes!" Kong Sizhen nodded.
Wu Yingxiong smiled and said to Jianning: "Whether three points can be returned to one bear depends on God's will... Queen, what do you think?"
Jianning said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so blessed that he can surely rule the world!"
Wu Yingxiong glanced at Kong Sizhen, then at Princess Jianning, "Queen, tonight..."
Jianning smiled and said: "Let Sister Sizhen take care of you... But don't tire Sister Sizhen, she has to go on her way tomorrow!"
...
Of course Kong Sizhen will not be tired by Wu Yingxiong... Wu Yingxiong is a "fat boy", how can he have such physical strength?
So early in the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, accompanied by several Yiding warriors, she rode a fast horse out of Xiangjing City and headed north.
The Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty had always maintained frequent contact, and Kong Sizhen still had the badge of the Qing Dynasty's Internal Affairs Office. Not only did the Qing court officials along the way dare not stop her, she could even use the Qing court's post stations and horses. Therefore, the journey was very fast. He left Xiangjing on January 16th and entered Beijing on February 2nd.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi was still far away in Haizhou, North Korea, and those who stayed in Beijing to preside over the overall situation were the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai and Prince Gong Chang Ning who had just returned from Dengzhou not long ago.
On February 3rd, Bumubutai and Chang Ning secretly summoned Kong Sizhen in Cining Palace, and heard Kong Sizhen personally report that Wu Yingxiong had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Bumbutai was fine and had no reaction. But Chang Ningque jumped up, stared at Kong Sizhen who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "What? This slave Wu Yingxiong actually proclaimed himself emperor?"
"Chang Ning!" Bumbutai saw his grandson jumping up and said quickly, "Why are you anxious? Neither the emperor nor I are in a hurry about this matter. What are you anxious about? Where is the person coming? Quickly move a chair for Concubine Kong. !
Sizhen, please sit down first and let us talk slowly if we have anything to say."
