Chapter 43
In the past few days, the atmosphere in the court has become more and more dignified, and the officials' intention to name King Shu has become more and more obvious, and the differences between the Queen Mother and the officials have become more and more serious.

Several ministers also held different views on this matter. Mr. Han Daxiang supported the official's idea, but Mr. Fan did not agree.

Because of this matter, the originally not so stable court gradually began to split. Yuan Wenshao watched coldly, and Fan Xianggong's attitude became more and more softened. It seemed that he wanted to compromise with the officials because of the overall situation.

In fact, Yuan Wenshao felt that Fan Xianggong was good, and the official's request was not a matter of etiquette. If several ministers worked together at the beginning, this issue would not be a big issue at all. The Ministry of Education simply dismissed it. In fact, it’s not that big. Without the support of the Ministry of Education, it’s impossible to act arbitrarily. I didn’t expect Mr. Han to agree first. Yuan Wenshao felt that Han Zhang was a bit flattering. Reluctantly agree.

Sure enough, at the top of the court today, Mr. Han Daxiang directly asked the officials to designate the title of King Xianshu, and also asked the officials to become King Shu as the emperor, and Mr. Fan also nodded to reconsider.

The Empress Dowager Cao was very angry, because she was embarrassing for her husband and wife. The emperor turned his face and refused to recognize anyone after he secured the throne. It's not that he has no manpower.

Sure enough, after a while Qi Heng came out to refute,

"The first emperor is the most important thing in the country. He was simply selected from the clan and granted a great cause. Your majesty will be the son of the first emperor and then inherit the lineage. The first emperor should be called Huang Kao, and King Xianshu should be called the emperor uncle!"

All the officials nodded after hearing this a lot. This is indeed a courtesy. Master Lu, the Yushitai Yushi, has always been upright. Even the late emperor had a headache when he saw him, so he just went off and scolded:
"The jackal is in the way, and it is better to attack the first; the treacherous is in the court, and the impeachment dares to be the next? Fu Jian and the political affairs officer Han Zhang, the first to open evil opinions, to please the Lord with wrong ways, to defeat the late emperor with short-term benefits, the court was appalled, and the world was disappointed; What is not forgiven, what is abandoned by both humans and gods."

Treat Han Zhang as a jackal and treacherous.

Yushitai and Jianyuan came off one after another, refuted Han Zhang, scolded him for flattery, slander, loyalty and adultery, etc., and demanded his demotion.

Not to be outdone, Zhongshu Sheng, headed by Han Zhang, refuted it one after another, but Fan Xianggong and others never spoke.

The two sides came and went, citing classics and debating one after another. It seemed that there would be no results for a while. The emperor directly named Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye was the emperor's confidant. Unreasonable, saying that the emperor is not allowed to call his biological father father is a trap for the emperor's infidelity and unrighteousness, which made the queen mother tremble with anger, and directly called the warriors in front of the palace to drag Gu Tingye out and beat him twenty times!
Except for the families of noble military generals who made good friends with the Queen Mother, no one spoke up. Most of them are warriors. They don't really care about this title, and the Empress Dowager Cao is actually a family member of a military general. Emperor Renzong was quick to treat Xungui Come to be close, everyone is actually closer to the Queen Mother, but the position of the honorable military generals is not so clear, unlike civil officials who say something, it’s okay. There is no precedent of civil officials being convicted for their words in this dynasty, but military generals are different. Recklessly opposing the emperor, the price is too high!

Occasionally, even a few nobles who abandoned martial arts and followed literature felt that the emperor was wrong, but they did not rush to refute.

As a modern person, Yuan Wenshao also finds it boring. No one cares about national affairs now, and they are always arguing back and forth because of the title.

In this court meeting, nothing was said in the end, it was all the public speaking the public's truth, and the mother-in-law said the way of the mother-in-law.

Just a while ago, there was news that the lord of the Liao Dynasty was going to send troops to conquer Jurchen. Liang Wang Yeluxiu, who was guarding Youzhou, sent troops to attack the two prefectures of Xiongba. They are talking nonsense, it is better to go to the frontier to have a look, it is considered that he has not been on the battlefield for a long time.

The official was newly appointed, and he was considered a promising monarch. He agreed to Yuan Wenshao's request and appointed Yuan Wenshao as the appeasement envoy of Guannan Road to lead the troops of Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Mozhou, and Yingzhou to resist the Liao army and act cheaply.

The appeasement envoy is a temporary official position during wartime, and it will be returned after the fight. It can be seen that the officials do not want Yuan Wenshao to be able to send a large army to station there for a long time.

After returning home, Yuan Wenshao told Hua Lan about her decision. Although Hua Lan was worried, the government had already issued an order, so it was not easy to stop her. She just told Yuan Wenshao not to forget to visit her uncle Wang's family. In Yingzhou Zhizhou, Hua Lan's grandmother's family is in Yingzhou.

In May of the same year, Yuan Wenshao led [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry to aid the Guannan area.

Arrived in Yingzhou in June, and had a friendly negotiation with Uncle Hualan's family.

In the same month, he passed through Mozhou and arrived in Xiongzhou.

In fact, the land of Guannan originally belonged to the land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. In fact, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are divided into two regions according to the geographical distribution, Yanbei area and North China Plain area. They are basically spread along the Great Wall, and roughly resemble the Taihang Mountains. Divided, among them, there are Wu, Ru, Wei, Xin, Wei, Yun, Ying, Huan, and Shuo Jiuzhou in the Yanbei area, and You<Yan>, Ji, Tan, Zhuo, Ying, Mo, and Shun in the North China Plain. sixteen states.

It's just that when the Taizu of this dynasty founded the country, the Xiejing soldiers and strong generals conquered three Guanzhou and two states, and Mozhou and Yingzhou regained the land of Guannan in one fell swoop, so there are still [-] states in the Liao Kingdom.

It is a pity that Taizu died young, and before he had time to recover other lost lands, he suddenly fell ill and died young. Taizong succeeded to the throne as a young man, his foothold was not stable, and he missed a great opportunity.

By the time Taizong launched the Northern Expedition, the Liao Kingdom had already dispatched troops to make preparations, and the two sides had only come and gone for several battles without much progress.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom in the north has been established for a long time, and it has inevitably declined. On the contrary, the Jurchen in the northeast region established the Dajin Kingdom with strong troops and strong horses, threatening the Liao Kingdom. The Jurchen was originally a subsidiary of the Daliao Kingdom. The land, the energy of the Liao Kingdom these years is mainly to crusade against the Jurchens. A few years ago, Xixia and Daliao fought in the land of Hequ. The weakness of the Liao Kingdom can be faintly seen by Xixia's victory over the [-] elite riders of the Liao Kingdom.

It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Liao Kingdom has a vast territory and millions of soldiers under its command. It is still the most powerful country around. Da Zhou has been mostly on the defensive against Daliao in recent years. Fortunately, Daliao has the energy Not in Dazhou.

After Yuan Wenshao arrived in Xiongzhou, he summoned General Zhang Li, the guard of Xiongzhou, General Wang Kai, the guard of Bazhou, and General Wang Shuang, the guard of Mozhou.

What the generals mean is that although the Liao Kingdom has mobilized 20 troops this time, scattered in the three regions of Yizhou, Zhuozhou, and Gu'an, they are mainly attacking and harassing the Zhou army so that they can concentrate on destroying the Zhou army. Jurchen.

Yuan Wenshao looked at the map and combined with the opinions of the three generals, he also believed that the situation was probably the same. This time, the Liao Kingdom also mainly harassed by cavalry, and did not besiege counties.

Then Yuan Wenshao made a deployment, gathered the cavalry from the three states and handed over to him a total of [-] infantry, and handed over the [-] infantry under his command to three generals to guard the city to prevent the Liao army from attacking the city.
