Chapter 338 Chen Kuopong: Miao Fu Liu Zhengyan's Acceptance (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

After the Miao-Liu Mutiny took place, under Zhao Gou's order, Zhu Shengfei announced to Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song Army officers who participated in the mutiny the conditions for Zhao Gou's Zen throne:

One is to treat Zhao Gou, who is on the Zen seat, like Zhao Ji who is on the Zen seat, and the offerings need to be generous;

The second is that after the Zen throne, things should be handled by Concubine Pan Xian and the enthroned young monarch;
The third is that after the edict was issued, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other soldiers of the Song army who participated in the mutiny returned to the camp immediately;
Fourth, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny restrained the sergeants from looting, setting fire and harassing the people.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army generals who participated in the mutiny agreed, and Zhao Gou immediately issued an edict to abdicate, and ordered Li Bing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to draft an edict, saying: "Since he ascended the throne, there have been many things that have not been properly handled, so he announced his abdication."

After the edict was announced, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other soldiers of the Song Army who participated in the mutiny immediately retreated, making noise in the market and shouting: "The world is peaceful!"

The next day, Concubine Pan Xian listened to the government behind the curtain, and gave amnesty to the abdicated Zhao Gou as "Emperor Ruisheng Renxiao", and renamed the ruined temple where Zhao Gou lived temporarily as Ruisheng Palace. Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others also sent people to investigate, worrying that Zhao Gou would keep more servants.

A few days later, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny wanted to move their capital back to Chang'an, not knowing who gave them advice.

In the end, it was stopped by Zhu Shengfei's tricks.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song Army who participated in the mutiny also felt that Zhu Shengfei was right, and treated Zhu Shengfei a little more politely.

Zhu Shengfei took this opportunity to visit Zhao Gou at Ruisheng Palace, and then secretly said to Zhao Gou: "I have talked with Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan. These two people are illiterate and easy to deal with. Don't worry, Your Majesty. There must be a long-term plan in the future.”

What Zhu Shengfei meant was, let's use the tactic of slowing down the army first, and let the two stunned young men, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, toss about it first, and wait for our Qin King's teacher to come, and then settle accounts with them, the rebels.

Zhao Gou said: "I understand, so I will play according to Aiqing."

So, Zhao Gou lived in the ruined temple, while Zhu Shengfei led the civil and military officials of the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty to mediate with Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army soldiers who participated in the mutiny.

From Zhao Gou's attitude towards Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army officers and soldiers who participated in the mutiny, it is not difficult to see that all the people in the small court of the Western Song Dynasty understood that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, a group of Qiu Ba, could not make a big climate at all.

However, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other soldiers of the Song army who participated in the mutiny regarded themselves as the founding fathers of the Ming Shou Dynasty, and they even had the meaning of coercing the emperor to order the princes.

As soon as Zhao Yang came to the throne, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny couldn't wait to use the name of the new king to issue imperial edicts everywhere.

And this first edict was sent to Zhang Jun's army by Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others.

Zhang Jun now occupies one side in the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, with a heavy army under his command, and guards the main roads of Chencang.

When Zhang Jun received the imperial decree, he was demoted to be the deputy envoy of Huangzhou regiment training.

This is equivalent to Zhang Jun being demoted from the commander of the large military region to the deputy commander of the provincial military division.

After Zhang Jun finished reading "Zhao Yan's imperial decree", he rubbed the imperial decree and put it in his arms without saying anything.

——Zhang Jun knew very well that if all the soldiers under him knew that he, the commander in chief, had been demoted, then his army might be finished.

Therefore, when the general asked Zhang Jun what happened, Zhang Jun only said that there was a change in the court, and the emperor called us to send troops to suppress the rebellion.

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly made preparations.

——These people have not paid their military salaries for a long time. If they send troops to suppress the rebellion, the things in the pockets of the rebels will naturally belong to them.

Then, another Zhang Jun received the order of "Zhao Yan's amnesty", and he immediately realized that the situation had changed.

Zhang Jun hurriedly notified Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to raise troops to join him immediately, and at the same time sent Feng Yu to Xingyuan Mansion to persuade Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to let Zhao Gou reset, confuse Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, and buy time for the army.

Zhang Jun was the first group of old Song officials who voluntarily fled from the Daqian Dynasty to the small court of the Western Song Dynasty after Li Cun disbanded the siege of Bianliang City in Tokyo. Therefore, Zhao Gou trusted Zhang Jun very much and entrusted him with important tasks.

Zhang Jun also became famous for abandoning the powerful Daqian Dynasty and switching to the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.

In addition, in the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty, gentlemen are noble and martial arts are cheap.

Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and other generals in command finally expressed their willingness to obey Zhang Jun's restraint.

During this period, Zhu Shengfei knew that Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others were short-sighted and not difficult to deal with, so he dealt with the rebels and Concubine Pan Xian, who was in charge of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty in name, and confused Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others, so that he could obtain In exchange for the right to meet Concubine Pan Xian alone, he also tried to instigate Miao Fu's subordinates Wang Shixiu, Wang Junfu and others, but it failed because the time was too short.

Soon after Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan came to power, they tried to replace the Imperial Army with soldiers to guard Ruisheng Palace, and even invited Zhao Gou to visit the northwest, but Zhu Shengfei stopped them skillfully.

Soon, Feng Yu sent by Zhang Jun arrived at Xingyuan Mansion. On behalf of Zhang Jun and others, he understood the righteousness with Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song Army soldiers who participated in the mutiny, and told Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan that Zhang Jun had assembled With the Qin King's army, they will come to suppress the rebellion in a few days.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other soldiers of the Song army who participated in the mutiny had already heard that Zhang Jun had assembled a large number of troops, and seemed to have the intention of coming to the king's rescue, but they didn't believe it before, and only then did they realize that they had been crusaded.

In a hurry, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny hurriedly demoted Zhang Jun to be the deputy envoy of Huangzhou regiment training and resettled in Chenzhou in the name of Zhao Tan.

Yushi Zhongcheng Zheng Xuan wrote a letter to excuse Zhang Jun, and sent a secret report to Zhang Jun to slow down the marching speed, so that the rebel army collapsed on its own.

Zhang Jun got the news that he had been demoted, and immediately he, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and other generals jointly called the king of Qin under heaven, and set out to denounce Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan.

When the counter-insurgency army was getting closer to Xingyuan Mansion, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were still busy grabbing things there.

It was not until the rebel army led by Zhang Jun was less than two days away from Xingyuan Mansion that his subordinates came to report that the troops of Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi had approached Xingyuan Mansion.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and their subordinates Wang Junfu, Ma Rouji, Zhang Kui, Wu Zhan and others were terrified, and were forced to accept the proposal of Zhu Shengfei and Feng Yu, and led a hundred officials to invite Zhao Gou to restore him.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny thought very simply at this time. They thought, Zhang Jun and the others thought we were rebels, didn't it be because we forced Zhao Gou to abdicate?Let's just support Zhao Gou to restore him, so that they have no reason to suppress the rebellion. Isn't this the end of the matter?
Therefore, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny immediately invited Zhao Gou out of the ruined temple, saying that we were ignorant before, and your majesty, you don't remember the faults of villains, and your majesty will still be your emperor.

So, Zhao Gou was restored in this way.

In fact, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny also realized at this time that their troubles this time were not small, so they also had a little bit of insight, knowing that if the rebellious army entered the city, it would definitely not be good for them Fruit to eat, so I asked to leave Xingyuan Mansion, saying that we are willing to guard the frontier for His Majesty.

Zhao Gou wanted Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the rebels to leave quickly, so he immediately appointed Miao Fu as the envoy of the Jiangzhou system, Liu Zhengyan as the deputy envoy of the system, Wang Junfu, Ma Rouji, Zhang Kui, Wu Zhan and other rebel leaders There are also rewards for each.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army generals who participated in the mutiny Xie Wanen turned around and left, thinking that they could leave this place of right and wrong.

But Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny thought about it again, what is the difference between leaving like this and waiting to die?
Therefore, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny returned and said to Zhao Gou, "Can your majesty grant us an imperial decree to show that all the crimes we have committed before will be forgiven?" As soon as we enter the city, come and take me for surgery?"

Zhao Gou was now focused on driving Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song Army soldiers who participated in the mutiny to leave, so as long as Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan could leave, they would do whatever they wanted, so Zhao Gou wrote an oath in his own hand.

The first sentence of this oath is "except for the great treason, I will not ask anyone."

It can be seen that at this time, Zhao Gou had already set up Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army generals who participated in the mutiny, and vowed to kill Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army generals who participated in the mutiny.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army generals who participated in the mutiny did not see Zhao Gou's sinister intentions at all. They thought that everything would be fine now, and prepared to leave happily with the oath.

But as soon as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny left the palace, they were stopped by someone: "Wait a minute, generals."

After hearing the words, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw that the person who stopped them was Mo Chou, a scholar of Guanwen Hall.

However, Mo Chou was not alone at this time, there were two or three hundred strange faces beside him.

Moreover, Mo Chou wasn't standing in the middle right now—the one standing in the middle was a little old man in his fifties.

Although this little old man always had a kind smile on his face, and looked inconspicuous at all, even rough men like Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan concluded from the bottom of their hearts that the identity of this little old man must be very unusual.

The little old man smiled and said to Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others: "Generals, can you show me the oath written by King Kang to the generals?"

If it was a smart person, he could tell from the little old man's address to Zhao Gou that he must not be Song Chen, otherwise he would not call Zhao Gou His Majesty and call Zhao Gou Kang Wang.

But Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other big bosses didn't realize this.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others thought: "Who is this person who wants to see the imperial edict to save our lives just by opening his mouth?"

Fortunately, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan have that smart person under their command.

Wu Zhan, the commander of the Chinese army, immediately realized that this group of people must have come from an extraordinary background, so he hurriedly reminded Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others in a low voice: "This person calls His Majesty King Kang. The person who may be able to save my life!"

In fact, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the others also realized that they might not end well after reaching this point.

This was also the reason why Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others were in a hurry to escape from Xingyuan Mansion.

In fact, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others have also considered whether to vote for the Dagan Dynasty or to vote for Xixia.

However, Xingyuan Mansion is too far away from these two countries, and there are many Song troops in the middle, without imperial decree, it is difficult for them to leave Xingyuan Mansion.

Now, people from Daqian Dynasty or Xixia took the initiative to contact them, which made Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others who had nowhere to go could not help but see a ray of hope to survive.

So, after being reminded by Wu Zhan, Miao Fu immediately cupped his fists and asked in a soft voice, "Dare to ask the old man's name?"

The little old man smiled and said: "The old man's surname is Chen. He was originally a cooper from Jinyun."

"The cooper?"

The two elders, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, listened to the words and frowned tightly. They thought to themselves: "What kind of trouble is a cooper making with us?"

But what Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan didn't expect was that many people around them immediately showed ecstasy after hearing Chen Kuutong's self-introduction.

Who is the first counselor next to Li Cun?

In fact, this is not yet conclusive. After all, Li Cun is not yet 30 years old and is in his prime. Who can guarantee that the advisers around Li Cun will not be renewed?

But if it is necessary to say that a person is the No.1 around Li Cun, then at least at this stage, this person must be Chen Kuopong who has been by Li Cun's side since Li Cun conquered the world and looks like Li Cun's shadow.

Even, many people said that the reason why Li Cun was so wise, and why he made so many wise decisions, were many of them were written by Chen Kuutong.

Yes or no, let’s not say yet.

But Chen Kuutong's importance and status in the Daqian Dynasty are absolutely unquestionable, even though Chen Kuutong has no official position at all.

In addition, people in the world, because of Li Cun's step-by-step transformation from a mud leg to the eternal emperor who is about to complete the unification, are full of associations with Chen Kuutong who has always been by Li Cun's side. is almost a household name.

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan had actually heard of Chen Kuutong's name, but because they had too many things in their hearts and the pressure in their hearts, they didn't react immediately.

When someone reminded them, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan immediately realized that they were really saved.

Miao Fu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly showed the affidavit Zhao Gou wrote to them to Chen Kuutong to have a look.

Chen Kuutong only glanced at it, and asked Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others with a half-smile: "Do you want to die, do you want to live?"

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others were at a loss, not understanding what Chen Kuutong meant?
Miao Fu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen please enlighten me."

Chen Kuutong didn't say much, but returned the affidavit to Miao Fu, and then said: "You generals, you must have not read the affidavit written by King Kang to you carefully? If you want to live, you should read it carefully." Read this affidavit."

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others heard the words, and quickly unfolded the oath to read it.

Several people took a closer look, and then realized that what Zhao Gou meant was that they conspired against each other, and the crime was unforgivable.

Now, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and their subordinates realized that Zhao Gou never thought of letting them go.

Liu Zhengyan has a fiery temper, he immediately drew out his saber, intending to kill Zhao Gou.

Seeing this, Chen Kuutong smiled and said to Liu Zhengyan: "If General Liu kills King Kang, will everyone be able to live?"

Hearing what Chen Kuutong said, Liu Zhengyan had already stepped forward, but stopped immediately.

The veins on Liu Zhengyan's forehead twitched for a long time before he bowed to Chen Kuutong: "Please save my life, sir."

Chen Kuutong put away his smile, then took out an imperial decree, and said, "Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, Wang Shixiu, Wang Junfu, Ma Rouji, Zhang Kui, Wu Zhan, etc. are accepted."

When Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other: "Listen to the letter? What letter to listen to? Whose letter to listen to?"

Fortunately, there are those who respond quickly.

When Wu Zhan heard the words, he immediately bowed and said, "My minister Wu Zhan is here!"

With Wu Zhan at the head, Wang Shixiu, Wang Junfu, Ma Rouji, Zhang Kui and others followed suit and said: "My minister Wang Shixiu/Wang Junfu/Ma Rouji/Zhang Kui are here!"

At this time, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan also realized that it was the Emperor Dagan who wanted to seal them, and what the Emperor Dagan threw over at this time was not an olive branch, but a life-saving straw. will die.

——You know, even if Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan don't grab this life-saving straw, Wu Zhan and others will definitely grab it. Then, maybe the next moment, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan will be beheaded on the spot.

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, who were finally smart for a while, quickly followed suit and bowed down: "My minister Miao Fu/Liu Zhengyan is here!"

Chen Kuopong read: "Following the emperor's decree, I rule the world with literature and fight chaos with force. The military commander Rong will be the pillar of the court and the city of the country. Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan are brave and loyal. More than that, the old Song Dynasty did not know the generals. Now the two generals have risen up with righteousness, helping the righteous to defeat the innocent, and helping the great powers to unify the country. They must be rewarded. I hereby confer Miao Fu as Binning Jiedu envoy and Liu Zhengyan For Ru'an Jiedu, Wang Shixiu for the Tongzhou regiment, Wang Junfu for the Chizhou regiment, Ma Rouji for the Qingzhou regiment, Zhang Kui for the Fangzhou regiment, Wu Zhan for the Junzhou regiment..."

Chen Kuutong sealed dozens of generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny.

Without exception, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, and the generals of the Song army who launched the mutiny with them all received high-ranking officials and rich salaries.

Among them, the rewards received by Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan are the most.

This Jiedu envoy has almost reached the end of military attache since he was a second-rank high-ranking official. You must know that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan caused a mutiny and abolished the emperor, and they failed to get such a high official position.

The point is, can the official position of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty be compared with that of the Daqian Dynasty?
At this time, no one can see that the Daqian Dynasty is not only extremely powerful but also thriving, while the small court of the Western Song Dynasty is just sunset and dying.

If this were not the case, it would be impossible for Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others to stage a mutiny.

Now looking at Li Cun's majestic handwriting, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny felt in their hearts that it is no wonder that Li Cun has the momentum he has today, which is really extraordinary.

Needless to say, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others took the decree to express their gratitude together: "I am waiting to thank the Lord for your kindness!"

——Different from just now, this time Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals of the Song army who participated in the mutiny said a lot more convincing...

……

……

It's the beginning of the month, please reward Big Bird with a monthly pass.

The monthly ticket is powerful, and the big bird will overthrow the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty in one fell swoop this time!
