Chapter 357: All the heroes (35)

To surrender power in peace, this is abdication.

Although the name sounds nice, it is actually the final result of the competition between political forces. When both sides are evenly matched, or one force does not gain an overwhelming advantage, the change of dynasty is full of blood and violence. When one force has an absolute advantage, the change of dynasty has a fig leaf - the abdication.

In order to successfully take over the Great Zhou Empire, the Nancheng Housing came and went, and the important officials appeared like a lantern, but instead left the imperial city aside.

Feiying Hall has now become a dense spider web, with its tentacles deep into the roots of the Great Zhou Dynasty. On the one hand, they created public opinion in teahouses and wine houses, making the people accustomed to "Hou Dayong's heart is known to everyone". Then, a huge stone man was placed under the Jinshui River, with six big words "Guo Chaihou, the world is inscribed". The stone man was handled by tomb robbers and looked very dilapidated. After the people of several states who repaired the Jinshui River dug out the stone man, Kaifeng Prefecture sent all the yamen runners to escort the stone man back to Kaifeng Prefecture with great momentum.

"Guo Chaihou, the master of the world" was like a big-headed fly with wings, flying quickly throughout the streets and alleys.

Feiying Hall also sent a lot of people to sneak into various yamen and serve as subordinate officials. Although these officials are from Feiying Hall, they strictly abide by the rules, do not take the initiative to inquire about information, and do not take the initiative to carry out activities. Their main responsibility is to see and listen, and to report the situation of each yamen to the Political Affairs Branch of Feiying Hall without any omissions. The Political Affairs Branch summarizes the situation and continues to make analysis and decisions.

As soon as the stone man came out, the Feiying Hall Political Affairs Branch was filled with various situation records sent one after another. The analysts of the twelve Political Affairs Branches whitened countless black hairs and finally came to a very simple conclusion: "Each department is normal, no abnormality."

Shi Hu, who was in charge of Luzhou, also came to Daliang. Shi Hu entered the tiger's den with Hou Dayong outside Cangzhou City and killed Liu Hai, a general of the army outside Cangzhou City. His fate was closely linked to Hou Dayong. However, he had been fighting far away in the northwest and always hid in Hou Dayong's tall figure. His reputation was not obvious except for a few important ministers. After he was in charge of Luzhou, Shi Hu and Shi Buddha Land gradually became famous.

This time when entering Daliang, Shi Hu served as Privy Councilor and helped Hou Dayong take charge of the country's military.

The troops in Daliang City were reorganized again, and many of the imperial guards' numbers were cancelled. The new imperial guards were named after the Black Eagle Army. The new Black Eagle Army was also divided into six divisions, totaling 70,000 people. They were the Tiger Wei Army, the Leopard Wei Army, the Wolf Wei Army, the Xiong Wei Army, the Lion Wei Army and the Long Wei Army. Each army had 10,000 people, divided into left and right hatchbacks.

The commander of the Black Eagle Army was Shi Hu, the Privy Councilor, but the commander of the Black Eagle Army was only a void position and did not directly control the army. Shi Hu's main task was to master the Privy Councilor.

Guo Jiong was appointed as the deputy commander of the Hei Diao Army, and at the same time he was also the commander of the Huwei Army, He Wulang was appointed as the commander of the Baowei Army, and Kuang Cao was appointed as the commander of the Langwei Army. Shi Shouxin was appointed as the commander of the Xiong Wei Army, and Jiang Hui was appointed as the commander of the Shiwei Army.

The predecessor of the Longwei Army was the famous Bianhe Navy Division, with the largest number of personnel, with a total of 20,000 people. Shi Ying was appointed as the commander of the Longwei Army.

After the establishment of the new imperial guards, the new Black Eagle Army, had four cavalry and the entire army was in a state of preparation for war. More than 30,000 old Black Eagle Army, far away in Lingzhou, were led by Shan Zongyuan. The troops arrived in Yanzhou and could go south along the Luoshui River at any time.

The entire Black Eagle Army was like a lion, with extremely sharp teeth spreading. As long as someone dared to resist, he would chew off his flesh and bones.

The Daliang Hou Mansion was held at the banquet every day, including Wang Bu, Wei Renpu, Dou Yi, Zhang Mei, Xue Juzheng and other ministers, who took turns to the Hou Mansion to chat with him.

On September 9, the seventh year of Xiande, the abdication ceremony was held in Chongyuan Hall. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, the edict was read out.

The imperial edict said: "The people born to steam the people. The two emperors promoted the Duke to abdicate, and the three kings took the time to revolution. The extreme one was the last boy, but the family was not created by the people, and the hearts of the people were gone, and the country's destiny was returned. The counselor Hou Dayong reported the attitude of the saint, the strategy of Shenwu, assisted me, Emperor Gaozu, and served the Emperor, and served the Emperor, and the merits were accepted, and the achievements were great. The ghosts and gods of heaven enjoyed virtue, and praised the rumor and lawsuits attached to the highest benevolence, responded to the people, and followed the law Yao and the people, and were relieved and let them be guest, and I was so proud! I only feared the will of heaven." (Note: This is a real edict, but it was just changed to Zhao Kuangyin into Hou Dayong. There is no need to laugh at me for being lazy. I rewrite an edict, without some ancient texts, and it is really not easy.)

As soon as the abdication edict was issued, the fake Majesty walked off the dragon throne. Hou Dayong was tall and had been through many battles. He had been burned by the war for several years. He had a sense of being arrogant without anger. Now wearing a dragon robe, he also had a natural majesty of the "true dragon emperor". Compared with the short and weak fake Chai Zongxun, he was judged immediately.

Hou Dayong was the emperor, and his clothes were the same as the old system. He regarded Empress Dowager Xiaofu as the Empress Dowager Zhou. The country name was still "Zhou" and the year name was "Hanxing".

His Highness Chongyuan, all officials gathered together, Wang Bu, Wei Renpu, Dou Yi, Zhang Mei, Xue Juzheng, Shi Hu, Guo Jiong, Shi Ying and other ministers came forward to congratulate him in turn. All the court officials were meritorious officials of the Xin Dynasty. What are meritorious officials? Everyone understood that if they did not make trouble, they would naturally be meritorious officials of the Xin Dynasty. These many ministers, thinking that the New Dynasty ministers were doing so easily, they all smiled happily, and the whole house was full of long live. No one looked at His Majesty who was leaving again.

Although this was the result of Hou Dayong's careful arrangement, this day really came to an end. Seeing that the descendants of the Chai family were easily abandoned by the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Dayong was full of all kinds of feelings, and he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe, in front of him was a minister who was bowing. Hou Dayong's eyes accidentally passed over the heads of these former ministers in the same hall and flew out of the Chongyuan Hall lightly. In a trance, he was hunting life in Sumo and Moh, first taking military power in Cangzhou, starting a business in Zhengzhou, hard fighting with the Hu people in Fengzhou, and the fighting power of Daliang City were like movies in the event, constantly flashing in front of Hou Dayong's eyes.

With a few more sounds of long live, Hou Dayong took back his mind.

At this time, Feng Sha led a few soldiers and hugged the fake Chai Zongxun and slowly walked out of the Chongyuan Hall. Although this fake Chai Zongxun was a puppet with a string. He had been sitting on the dragon throne for a long time and had an indescribable feeling for everything in the Chongyuan Hall. At the same time, he was extremely frightened in his heart: what fate was he waiting for him after getting off the dragon throne? It was precisely because of this kind of thought that when the fake Chai Zongxun left the Chongyuan Hall, his steps were as heavy as he was the real Chai Zongxun.

Looking at the smiling faces, Hou Dayong suddenly had goose bumps on his body. These smiling faces were like sharp arrows, "bang, bang" shot straight into his face.

"Chai Rong is wise and divine, and expands territory. However, Chai Zongxun was forced to abdicate, and no minister even spoke up for him. Those who succeeded will become kings and losers will be bandits. This world is so realistic. This person's heart is so unpredictable."

Chai Rong's voice, appearance and smile were lifelike, just like before his eyes. Hou Dayong sighed in his heart, took a deep breath, and drove away the negative emotions covered in his heart.

Abdication. The ceremony of the first year of Han Xing ended with a hint of sadness from Hou Dayong.

After the ceremony, Hou Dayong habitually wanted to walk out, but after taking two steps, he stopped. Now he has become the master here and no longer has to hurried home with Lin Zhonghu and other guards.

After walking out of Chongyuan Hall, the eunuch Yang came up to us. Chai Rong was a wise king who knew the history of the late Tang Dynasty. Every time he read history books, he always sighed after reading eunuchs. He had strict requirements on eunuchs. As long as he found out that eunuchs made friends with ministers, he would be beheaded. In the early years of his succession, many eunuchs who secretly communicated with ministers in the court were beheaded.

Eunuch Yang is the confidant of Empress Dafu, and the Hou family is a relative of the foreigner. Unlike ordinary ministers, Chai Rong's tacit approval. Eunuch Yang often walks between the palace and the Hou's mansion. Hou Dayong attaches great importance to the money in the palace. Every time Eunuch Yang comes, he will receive it himself, and heavy red envelopes are indispensable. Now Hou Dayong has become the landlord in the palace, and Eunuch Yang's slightly reserved smile has long turned into a cautious charming smile.

The eunuchs in the palace had already carefully cleaned up the new Wanzi Palace. Wanzi Palace was the side palace where Chai Rong lived. She used to live. After Shufei was thrown into the cold palace, Wanzi Palace became empty. Shufei loved flowers, but she left, but the flowers in the palace remained. Wanzi Palace became the palace with the most flowers and green trees in the harem. Hou Dayong and Fu Ying didn't want to live in Chai Rong who had lived in the underground palace, and unanimously chose this prosperous Wanzi Palace.

When Hou Dayong walked into Wanzi Palace, Fu Ying had already greeted her in the courtyard. Her expression was quite complicated, as if she was smiling but not smiling, as if she was resentful but not resentful. According to her habit of being in the Marquis' Mansion in Nancheng, she stepped forward and took Hou Dayong's arm and snuggled up to Hou Dayong.

"Why didn't you see two children?"

"After entering the palace, Zong Lin has to live alone. He is in Fuqi Palace, Xiaomei is with him, and Xiaowen is sleeping in Fuda Palace."

Hou Dayong frowned and said, "Zong Lin and Zong Wen are still young. The family lives in three places. There is no place to feel home. Let the children live in Wanzi Palace."

Although the Hou Mansion in the south of the city is wide, it is pitifully small compared to the palace. Fu Ying felt her heart was empty and unattainable. After finally waiting for Hou Dayong to come back, he held the Langjun's arm. The warm and familiar smell went straight into Fu Ying's heart and lungs, and she felt like she was stepping on the ground.

"The husband is already the king of a country. The emperor has no trivial matters and the emperor has no family affairs. If Zong Lin and Zong Wen live in Wanzi Palace, where will Zonghu and Zongwu be placed, and how will the ministers view this matter?"

Fu Ying leaned her head on Hou Dayong's arm and sighed: "Mr. Langjun, when I entered this palace today, I always feel like I am in the clouds and mist, and I always think about living in my home in Nancheng."

Hou Dayong comforted, "This is your home. I will get used to it after living there for a long time. However, I don't like these eunuchs very much and drive them out of the palace in a few days."

"If there is no eunuch, is it still called the palace?"

There have been eunuchs in the palace since ancient times. In Fu Ying's heart, is it still called the palace without eunuchs? She suddenly thought of a question and looked at Hou Dayong with a high face and smiled: "The palace has always been the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. If there are no eunuchs, who will serve these concubines?"

The two of them laughed for a few words, and Fu Ying suddenly remembered her sister who was leaving and said sadly: "My little sister is really going to go out to sea. Also, if you are conferred Zongxun as King Zheng, I am really worried that there will be trouble in the future and it will be even more difficult to end."
