Paying homage to Ran Min is also to respect yourself to a certain extent.
Although Ran Min had many shortcomings and did many evil things, it is undeniable that without his order to kill the barbarians, the barbarians in this land would be even more rampant.
During the more than twenty years that Shi Hu was in power, he carried out the strategy of vacating the cage and replacing it with birds, killing countless Chinese people.
So much so that the surrounding foreign regimes followed suit. Li Shi and his sons of the Cheng Han Dynasty also built large-scale construction projects in Shu, using the bones of Han people to lay the foundations of gorgeous palaces.
Although the northern Han people will not be completely exterminated, they can never hope to turn over and beg for a living under the crotch of the barbarians for the rest of their lives.
Until he was merged with the barbarians...
Although Ran Min was relegated in later history books, Ran Min was the only one whose weapons and names of war horses were recorded. This kind of treatment was not even given to Overlord Xiang Yu, which already shows his attitude towards him.
There was a small disagreement in the court over the choice of posthumous title.
Ran Wei's surviving ministers strongly advocated respecting Ran Min as Emperor Wu.
However, Liu Qun, Cui Jin and others did not agree and proposed to establish him as Emperor Ping.
To subjugate a general with divine power is called Wu; to calm the people and everyone is called Wu; to conquer the world is called Wu; to be wise and not to kill is called Wu; to be virtuous and powerful is called Wu.
Ran Min is strong in force, not martial arts.
Emperor Ping is too ordinary.
After some discussion between Li Yue and Liu Qun, they decided to adopt double posthumous titles and honor him as Emperor Wu Dao.
Those who perform labor and sacrifice without restraint are called mourning, those who die early in middle age are called mourning, and those who die early in childhood are called mourning.
Ran Min's martial arts were outstanding, his ambitions were not realized, and his middle path collapsed. Each battle and mourning are enough to describe his life.
A country cannot live without a king for a day.
After Emperor Wu's death, Ran Min Yu Tian, it was time to establish a new emperor.
Jiang Qian, Miao Song, Liu Chong and others became enthusiastic and proposed several times that the prince should ascend the throne as emperor.
"Jiang Qian, Miao Song, and Liu Chong are very cruel." Cui Jin said halfway.
Everyone present knew the rest. Once Ran Zhi ascended the throne, the pattern of Emperor Xian of Han and Wei Wu would reappear. Although he could not threaten Li Yue, it would cause considerable trouble in the future.
"What do you think, Mr. Liang?" Liu Qun rushed to Li Yue and handed over his hand.
Li Yue weighed it up and concluded that Ran Zhi could not be compared with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Ran Wei was such a large area and its influence was limited. When Ran Min was alive, government orders did not leave Yecheng. Now that he is dead, can he still give orders to various places? Princes?
It will be troublesome to get an emperor up now and get him down later.
If you don't do it well, you will be accused of usurping Wei by others.
"Let's see what the queen wants."
Ran's influence was not on the prince, but on Queen Dong, who was nominally in charge of the Imperial Seal.
"I know." Liu Qun quickly understood what Li Yue meant.
With Liu Qun's operation, Yi's decree soon came from the palace: The prince is young, has no merit in the country, has no virtue for the people, and is unable to stabilize the country. He is now removed from the position of prince and retired as the Duke of Anle County. All major events in the country will be handled. It is up to Liang Gong to decide.
Dong's words dispelled the illusions of the Yecheng generals.
Ran Min was beheaded by Murong Jun at Nixing Mountain, and Ran Wei was destroyed in name only.
The queen's second decree abolished her title of queen and demoted her to Mrs. Wei.
Mr. Dong, sensible?
She retreated so bravely and avoided future disasters. Li Yue was also grateful. As long as he did not fall, the prosperity and wealth of the Ran family could continue.
Yecheng is calm and calm, and people's hearts are becoming more and more stable.
However, someone's eyes soon focused on Li Yue's pillow.
It was Cui Jin who took the initiative to guide the thread, "So Situ Cui Yue has a granddaughter who is well-educated and sensible, has good looks, and has a gentle temperament..."
Cui Jin was coy.
Since there were no outsiders around, Li Yue stopped putting on airs and said with a smile, "Brother, are you playing matchmaker?"
The Cui family members are all good-looking, Cui Jin, Cui Hong, etc. are all good-looking. If the Cui family dares to speak, the Cui family's daughters will never be bad.
"That's right, Cui Hong is his younger brother." Cui Jin smiled.
Li Yue went north, and Cui made great efforts.
The in-laws on both sides are basically settled, and both the Cui family and themselves need a closer relationship.
If you want to gain a foothold in Hebei, you must get the support of powerful nobles.
This has been the rule of the game since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Without absolute strength, this rule cannot be broken.
Su Lin, a powerful man from Zhongshan County, rose up and could directly challenge Mu Yugen's army of 60,000 to 70,000 men. Bohai Jia Jian single-handedly resisted Murong Ping's army for several months.
Fenyin Sanxue, not even Liu Yuan and Shi Hu...
Even the Murong clan was honestly competing for the power of the noble clan, not to mention themselves.
If the powerful gentry in Hebei were not won over, they would gradually fall to the Murong clan.
"This matter is all decided by my brother." Li Yue also needs this marriage if he wants to stabilize his position.
After Shi Hu seized the throne, he also married with the Liu family of Hedong, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Cui family of Qinghe.
"Now that the Yan thieves are powerful, marrying the Cui family can consolidate Hebei's defense and get their full support." Cui Jin clearly said this from Li Yue's point of view.
"As long as China can be restored, why not marry?" Li Yue had already been mentally prepared.
Cui Jin cupped his hands and said: "Since there is a marriage, the Cui family cannot be the only one. The Liu family in Zhongshan, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Lu family in Fanyang can all marry in order to consolidate the situation in Hebei."
Li Yue felt warm in his heart. Cui Jin offered this idea and completely cut off the relationship with Cui.
As long as he doesn't fall to the Cui family, these powerful nobles will not be able to make trouble.
Of course, the powerful nobles were not a scourge. Li Yue did not forget the strong support of Lu Chen, Liu Qun, Liu Qi, Jia Jian and the Cui family.
The biggest contradiction in the world today is between Huaxia and Zhuhu, famine and plague.
Cui Jin is Li Yue's sworn brother, so it is only natural for him to handle this matter.
As soon as Cui Jin left, Zhang Shengye came. He was not used to Li Yue's new identity for a while, "Liang...Gong, Xuchang comes to the table."
"Zhang Yu?" Li Yue was slightly surprised. What did Zhang Yu want to do with him?
I spread out the playlist and browsed through it, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded.
During Yin Hao's Northern Expedition, he was tricked by Zhang Yu. The Jiangdong gentry became angry, so they attacked Zhang Yu with Yao Xiang and Xie Shang as the vanguard.
Zhang Yu then wrote to Yecheng, asking the Pengcheng garrison to take the opportunity to regain Shouchun, Hefei and other important towns in Huainan.
During this period, Li Yue was busy with matters in Yecheng, staring at the Murong clan in the north, and did not pay much attention to the situation in the world.
In fact, when Li Yue went north from Huaibei, all the major forces in the world were not idle.
Shi Kun surrendered to Jiangdong, and his family was lured to Jiankang, where they were beheaded in the street. Shi Hu's entire family was cut off from his descendants.
Yao Xiang was reused by Jiangdong and stationed troops in Shouchun to resist the Heiyun Army.
After Zhang Yu annexed Luoyang, he immediately stood at the forefront of the storm, and even Huan Wen paid attention to it.
Like Zhang Ping in Bingzhou, Zhang Yu also worshiped gods everywhere. When he returned to Yecheng, he also asked for surrender from the Fu family in Guanzhong.
In the Guanzhong area, Du Hong retreated to Yiqiu and was killed by his general Zhang Ju. Zhang Ju established himself as King of Qin and appointed hundreds of officials.
Fu Jian personally led 20,000 cavalry to kill Zhang Ju, immediately proclaimed himself emperor, and sent Fu Xiong and Fu Jing to capture Hedong, Hongnong and other places to support Zhang Yu.
The situation in the Central Plains has become more complicated.
On the contrary, Hebei was silent. The Yan Army and the Heiyun Army had to digest the newly acquired territory, rest and reorganize their soldiers, and prepare for the next round of war.
