Chapter 109 Lord Shun Ming
Since that day, the Huang Renlong army was destroyed. After a few days of rest, the team was reorganized, and the central army on the front, left, and right expanded greatly.
The officers and soldiers were defeated. In addition to adding tens of thousands of elite veterans to Chuang Potian, they also left behind mountains of food and grass.
Chuang Potian was already short on military rations, but now that he had received a big boost, he immediately decided to send troops to the capital, vowing to bring down the Jin Emperor.
He gave the order, and the army moved like a storm. Because the hundreds of thousands of troops were too numerous, they were divided into five groups of soldiers and horses to outflank the capital.
The generals in the army also know that this should be the last battle for the world!
As long as we capture the capital and lift King Shun to the throne, we can send a message to the south, and there will be no more troubles.
So everyone worked bravely and fought to be the first to climb the walls of the capital city.
According to the tradition of past dynasties, even if the first person is a soldier, he can eventually get a title.
As a result, all the way forward, the cities along the way fell into the wind, and the officers and soldiers lost their fighting spirit. No matter the officials, military generals, and the gentry in the city, they all rushed to surrender and abandoned the Jin Dynasty without hesitation.
Chuang Potian's journey was almost smooth sailing, except for being blocked at a road junction guarded by hundreds of people.
The unknown copper-skinned warrior who led the officers and soldiers to resist was an old man with white hair and beard. In the end, he was trampled into a pulp by thousands of horses.
Who would have thought that this would be the last resistance of the Jin State.
After this battle, the Chuang Potian army arrived in the capital without any fierce fighting. They thought there was a fierce battle, but in the end they only beat the drums for a while, and the whole army shouted the slogan of "Shun Wang".
The officers and soldiers on the city wall collapsed and ran faster than the other.
The vanguard of the Shun army only sent people with long ladders and climbed the city wall without any resistance. When they got down from the city, they were surprised to find that when the war came, there was no seal behind the gate of the capital and it was empty.
They successfully opened the city gate and the army entered.
The other three city walls were even more ridiculous. Officers and soldiers opened the city gates directly, saving the troops the time of climbing the long ladder.
We waited until we arrived at the Imperial City.
The Emperor of Jin was already kneeling naked outside the gate of the imperial city, leading civil and military officials to present the jade seal and surrender watch.
Chuang Potian rode on horseback and asked curiously, why didn't he resist since he was the capital of a country?
The Jin Emperor is quite honest.
There is no silver in the mansion, so there are no soldiers. Even if there is silver, there are no elites in the capital.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall before were actually hired for a few coppers and steamed buns a day. They only fled after seeing the Shunjun, which was considered worthy of their conscience.
Even the civil and military officials all wanted to surrender.
Queen Jin came to find that even the eunuchs in the palace had blocked the gate of the imperial city to prevent him from escaping.
He had become truly alone at this time. He simply ordered the surrender directly. This order was executed smoothly, and this scene happened.
"The king replaced Jin with Shun, which is in line with the destiny of heaven. How dare I disobey the destiny of heaven?"
The emperor of Jin was also smart. He opened his mouth and came, coaxing Chuang Potian to laugh, and then There was no difficulty for him, but he was imprisoned with his concubines and the prince's children.
Chuang Potian slept on the dragon bed with Lady Cao in his arms that night, and even the eunuchs were the original wives of the Emperor of Jin.
After a few days, he was no different from the emperor except that he was not wearing the imperial robe.
If Madam Cao hadn't been so careful, those eunuchs might have given him a concubine or princess from the Jin Emperor.
On the dragon throne, Chuang Potian had a smile on his face, looking at the group of surrendered ministers below singing their praises one by one, feeling very proud in his heart.
Ten years after the uprising, he conquered the world. How could he not be satisfied?
Today is the time to establish the country.
After dealing with the surrendered ministers, Bai Yushan, the leader of the Shun army, and the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and persuaded King Shun to ascend the throne.
Chuang Potian pushed and gave in three times, and finally agreed.
A few days later.
The armored soldiers in the capital stood like nails one by one along the street.
Chuang Potian personally offered sacrifices to Heaven. The Emperor of Jin read a letter of guilt and admitted that his virtue was not worthy of his position. The energy of the Great Jin was exhausted. Now there is King Shun who obeys the destiny and is willing to entrust the country to this...
After the tedious etiquette, Chuang Potian sat on the dragon throne again, accepted the kneeling worship of all civil and military officials, formally proclaimed himself emperor, and named the abdicated former Jin emperor as Shun Minggong.
The Emperor of Jin heard that he was destined to die, and he collapsed to the ground on the spot and almost died of fright, making quite a joke.
After another half month, everything has settled.
Chuang Potian sat firmly on the throne, and the whole north was informed. As long as the cities in the south were in the hands of officers and soldiers, they all expressed their surrender. On the contrary, several rebel leaders were dissatisfied, and Chuang Potian had already sent troops to attack them.
He has many soldiers, money and generals, and those leaders are nothing but trouble.
At the same time, it turned out that when the Jin Dynasty was in power, the evil neighbor Wei Dynasty kept attacking the border towns and contained a large number of Jin's troops.
Now that it is Shun Guo, the great Wei Dynasty has actually stopped. It turns out that the Wei Emperor has collapsed, and the Nine Dragons in the country have seized the legitimate rights and are fighting together, so naturally they are unable to fight with the outside world.
So everyone in the capital said that the new emperor was destined to return, and this troubled world was probably about to end. As long as the drought was over, the world might be stable.
Bai Lushan became the prime minister and was very busy.
However, because Chuang Potian accepted too many old officials, many cities were captured without fighting, and the foundation of the old dynasty was not touched in a short period of time.
Therefore, for the people at the bottom, the change of dynasty seems to have no impact, and those who should be hungry must be hungry.
Fortunately, Chuang Po Tian started as a refugee and knew the destructive power of the refugees. Among other things, he kept a close eye on the food and porridge to prevent this troubled world from spiraling downwards.
It’s only been half a month.
Chuang Potian felt that the emperor did not seem to be that comfortable.
Although he has many concubines, he cannot favor them all in one night even though he is a master of martial arts.
He is rich in the world, but he does not spend gold or silver.
Even at the palace banquet, if you eat too much, it will not taste as good as the nest he ate when he was most hungry.
On the contrary, as soon as I open my eyes, there are many troubles every day, which will never end.
On this day, after he finished handling government affairs, he waved away the people around him and asked them to follow behind him from a distance. Except for Ren Xingyun, who followed closely, he walked quietly in the back garden, went around behind a rockery, and listened. The two maids whispered.
The two asked each other about the recent situation, and both said that everything was still the same as before in the old dynasty. They were grateful to the new emperor for his kindness, restraining the soldiers, and not killing anyone in the imperial city.
After hearing this, Chuang Potian raised the corner of his mouth and felt quite proud.
When you are a bandit, you have to fight like a bandit, but when you are an emperor, you have your own way to be an emperor. Bai Yushan suggested to win people's hearts, and he did a good job.
He was feeling proud when his face suddenly turned pale.
But I heard the palace maid say.
“The new emperor is good at everything, but I heard that he has been fighting for many years and has so many concubines, but none of them have accomplished anything.”
"Are you afraid that the emperor can't give birth?"
"No words! Are you crazy?"
"Sister, everyone in the palace is spreading the word, and I'm not the only one who said it!"
>
Ren Xingyun’s face changed. Can these words be spread nonsense?
These two palace ladies are dead.
Bang!
Sure enough, the rockery exploded.
Chuang Potian's iron fist appeared, and the two palace ladies turned into corpses.
"Your Majesty, calm down!" A large group of eunuchs and maids who were following Chuang Potian from a distance knelt down, all of them shivering.
These people who served were all the original members of the Jin Emperor. They were accepted by Chuang Potian as his personal attendants. Of course, some suspicious people among them were also eliminated.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, trembling, with their heads lowered like quails, wishing for a hole to appear on the ground and burying their heads in it!
Although we are far apart, we don’t know why these two palace ladies angered the emperor. It doesn’t matter if these two dead women are dead, but will everyone be implicated?
Everyone was really scared.
Compared with the abdicated Emperor Jin and the current King Shun Ming, the new Emperor was a bandit and was highly skilled in martial arts. He didn't even need the eunuchs to drag him out and beat him to death, he just did it himself.
Many people regretted that the new emperor was not easy to serve.
The two headless corpses of palace maids on the ground were bleeding all over the ground. The originally colorful imperial garden was filled with the smell of blood, as if even the air was frozen.
Chuang Potian stood there, furious, blood gushing from his face, his eyes opening and closing with cold murderous intent, staring coldly at the two corpses.
Damn it!
How dare these people!
The greatest pain in his heart was that he remained childless.
Chuang Potian also knew that many people secretly believed that this was a major hidden danger for Shun Dynasty.
Because not only did he have no heirs, but he also had no clan. When the rebellion first broke out, the imperial officers and soldiers had already killed all of his Li family village!
No matter how many women he took in and how hard he tried, he always had no offspring.
All women, as agreed upon, can only show off but not lay eggs!
Even the woman who had given birth to Lady Cao was the same in his bed.
A biting chill swirled around the back of his neck.
He has no heirs, no relatives, and cannot even adopt a member of his own clan.
After a hundred years, who will sit on this throne?
What’s the point of working so hard to conquer the world?
Thinking of this, he thought of his dead nephew Qin Tong, and his heart ached even more - my good nephew, unfortunately, died young and was killed by an unknown thief...
If he were alive , I have an heir. Even if I cannot be born, this world still belongs to my Qin family.
The country will not change, the country will remain stable, and there will be no one talking behind the scenes.
Now, this has become a major event that shakes the country.
Chuang Potian glanced at the kneeling eunuchs and maids behind him. His sharp gaze was like substance, and he could hardly suppress the murderous intention in his heart!
The two palace maids said what everyone in the palace was talking about.
Did the seemingly docile eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground chat in private?
There must be some. These people do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. They were the ones who guarded the palace that day and blocked the escape route of King Shunming!
Not even loyal to the old master, let alone the new emperor?
It was a mistake to take them in, and now it is time to correct this mistake.
"Here comes someone!"
Chuang Potian shouted.
"Pull out these slaves who have deceived their superiors and deceived their consciences and beat them to death with sticks!"
His orders were eloquent.
Immediately a large number of guards poured in from outside, dragging the eunuchs and maids who were already weak on the ground and crying for mercy, and soon the sound of wooden sticks hitting people's bodies was heard outside.
At first, these people cried in sharp voices, but soon there was no movement, and they became occasional moans. After a while, even the moans were gone, and only the mechanical sound of a wooden stick falling on a person's buttocks was left.
Chuang Potian took a few steps into the wooden pavilion and sat there, feeling depressed.
I thought I would be able to sit back and relax after sitting on the Dragon Throne, but who knew that after sitting on it, I would be in trouble everywhere.
Since I have no heirs, I can't just kill two palace maids to silence everyone. The whole court and even the people are discussing this matter.
It’s really hard...
Chuang Potian can't solve his own problems, but he can solve the people who created them.
If Qin Tong had not died, there would not have been so many problems. If we catch up with him, we will have to deal with the three Lu Ye brothers.
A few years later, he has never forgotten this incident.
She Taotian went out and died in the wilderness because he was anxious to send troops out of the province to fight for the dragon. There was no master more powerful than Shetaotian in the army, and the new masters who took refuge were also unreliable, so this He put this matter aside for the time being.
Now, it’s time to solve it.
Moreover, Chuang Potian had some shadows in his heart. He had no children, Pan Furong was his only "niece", and Lu Ye was his niece's son-in-law. If he died in the future, there was even a slight possibility that the throne would fall into the hands of these two people.
How can I bear this?
I worked hard outside for several years and fought for several years, and finally fell into the hands of two idle men in Dongsai Mansion, and they didn't even deal with him!
Chuang Potian became angrier as he thought about it, and couldn't help but drink.
“Ren Xingyun!”
"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Ren Xingyun came out from behind him and saluted respectfully, not daring to slack off.
It is true that he is a master, but even if the emperor in front of him does not understand martial arts, he will not offend him easily. This is the power of the top power in the world.
Who makes the master strong, but not strong enough? If he can practice Taoism, then he is nothing more than an emperor.
This Martial Saint is really just a title.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the spiritual roots to practice Taoism... So for the sake of the family, I still have to protect the emperor.
"Xingyun," Chuang Potian's tone softened and he suppressed his anger, "I want you to be a messenger and go to Dongsai Mansion."
"I became the emperor and became rich. I can’t forget my old brothers. Fortunately, they are right in front of me and I can see them every day. I will think about this matter.”
“It’s just that my niece Pan Furong is far away in Dongsai Mansion, but I am. I haven’t seen her in a few years.”
“I made her the princess when I became king, now I make her the princess.”
Ren Xingyun bent down.
"According to the order..."
Chuangpo Tiancai said slowly.
"In addition, the princess and the consort seem to be at odds with each other and have never consummated their marriage."
"It seemed that the competition to recruit a bride was done too hastily. How could a stable boy be worthy of my niece? ?"
"So..." Chuang Potian said in a long voice.
Ren Xingyun clasped his fists and bent over, his head bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, I must leave early and come back early, so as not to disappoint Your Majesty."
He has been following Chuang Potian for several months. Since he came to seek refuge, Chuang Potian also sent him to do the job. Several insidious tasks came to test him.
Ren Xingyun understood that the superiors had always spoken vaguely and left themselves some room, but they wanted him to figure out the true meaning.
Ren Xingyun is a smart man and has always understood things well. He also knows the embarrassing position of Pan Furong and Lu Ye in the rebel army, so His Majesty has murderous intentions.
After Wu Sheng Ren Xingyun left, National Master Zheng Tiancheng came running excitedly.
Chuang Potian frowned, the way of this national master was the same as that of the old Qingyang Taoist before, a little strange.
When he ambush Qingyang Demon Dao, he exerted some force, and then he seemed to be invisible throughout the whole process. After entering the capital, he went into the inner treasury and did not see anyone for a long time.
Fortunately, the inner treasury envoy secretly reported that this person only took a few items and seemed to be looking for something. Judging from his excitement today, I am afraid he found them.
