my wife is mulan

On September 28, Wang Daolong, the envoy of Liu Song Dynasty, led a delegation to Qianguo and arrived in Chang'an.

Zhao Junsheng had received news from Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty that Liu Yu, the king of Eastern Hunan, launched a coup to kill Liu Ziye to seize the throne and change Yuan Taishi, but this time the Song envoy Wang Daolong brought Liu Ziye's head.

Zhao Junsheng summoned a group of ministers to meet Song envoy Wang Daolong in Zichen Hall.

"Zhu Qing, you all know what happened in the Southern Dynasty. Wang Daolong brought Liu Ziye's head this time, trying to calm my anger with Liu Ziye's head. Tell me what I should do?"

Minister Lu Xuan stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, what the Southern Dynasty did is indeed enough to explain to our Dynasty that the envoy Song Mengkang was killed. If we continue to send troops, I am afraid that we will not get the support of the people. It will completely anger Liu Song's government and the opposition, making them give up fighting and work together to fight against our army, I suggest that you abandon this plan to send troops, and order the recall of all the soldiers who have already set off!"

Dongfang Chen immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the veteran does not agree with Li Gong's words! Now my soldiers and horses from all over the country are gathering in the direction of Lujiang, and the manpower and material resources used are already countless. If we order to withdraw troops at this time, not only The loss is immeasurable, and it will also lose the prestige of the court and His Majesty, now the arrow is on the string and has to be fought, this battle must be fought if not fought!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned, Lu Xuan was right, what Dongfang Chen said was also very reasonable, should we fight or not?If they don't fight anymore, they will have to bring back all kinds of troops. How can military orders be a joke, such an order will definitely make the soldiers dissatisfied.

But if you send troops, there is no reason to go big. Liu Song sent all the heads of the emperor. This is actually a great shame to Liu Song. It aroused the common hatred of the army and the people of Liu Song Dynasty.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Pei Jin and asked, "Pei Shangshu, what's your opinion?"

Pei Jin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have calculated everything. I just didn't expect that Liu Yu would snatch Liu Ziye's head and send it over at this time. The killing of our envoy Song Mengkang was in the final analysis a matter when Liu Ziye was in power. Now it is Liu Ziye's head." When Yu was in power, he even sent Liu Ziye's head. The killing of Song Mengkang was an explanation. If I decide to send troops at this time, I am afraid that I will encounter strong resistance. I suggest that the plan of crossing the river to attack be temporarily stopped! "

"Liu Yu first came to the Great Treasure, the reason why he was able to secure the throne was because he had the support of his brothers, but Liu Ziye's brothers would not agree, according to their thinking, Liu Ziye is dead, no matter what the throne should go to their brothers What do you have to do with Liu Yu, the emperor's uncle? Ruochen is right, as long as we stop the plan to send troops, Liu Ziye's brothers and clan kings will definitely oppose Liu Yu strongly, and the two sides will definitely fight. As long as they fight Get up, then is the time for me to take advantage of their internal turmoil and send troops!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and what Pei Jin said made sense. He frowned and said, "What Mr. Pei said is not unreasonable, but our army has already set off, and the food and grass have been shipped one after another. There is no reasonable reason to order the withdrawal at this time." I'm afraid it won't work!"

Pei Jin said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When your Majesty dispatched troops from various places, he didn't say that he wanted to attack Liu Song. He just ordered them to move to Lujiang to assemble. I thought that there was no need to send back all the troops. They went to the nearest city, set up camp outside the city for drills, and waited for new orders while practicing. We call this transfer of troops autumn exercises, and it is a kind of long-distance training, and the food and supplies are also transported with the army!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands and laughed: "Good! This way can not only deal with the Southern Dynasty, but also send troops to the south at any time. It just consumes more food and grass. Let's do it like this! By the way, is the Southern Dynasty envoy Wang Daolong here? "

The eunuch outside the palace came in and reported: "Return to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty Wang Daolong has arrived outside the palace gate, waiting for His Majesty's call!"

"Xuan!"

The eunuch immediately went outside the hall and shouted: "Wang Daolong, the envoy of the Song Dynasty of the Xuannan Dynasty, has an audience!"

Soon, Wang Daolong walked into the hall to salute: "The envoy of the Song Dynasty Wang Daolong is here to meet His Majesty the Emperor Dagan!"

"Free gift!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Master Wang, what can I learn from this trip?"

"Return to Your Majesty, dare not, dare not! I am here for the murder of your country's envoy Song Mengkang in our country!"

"Oh? Last time I asked Honglu Temple to send a note to your country, asking you to give an explanation to our country within a month. Calculated according to the time when the note was delivered, today is exactly one month. I wonder if your country is involved in this case. How are you going to give me an explanation?"

Wang Daolong said: "Your Majesty, this matter is all because the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye was deceived by his servant Hua Yuan'er, and ordered his inner guards to secretly kill Song Mengkang and others. Now Liu Ziye and Hua Yuan'er have received retribution. Inside the two boxes are their heads, please take a look at them, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, I am enthroned as the new emperor. In order to show my respect to Your Majesty, my Emperor has sent His Majesty a letter of credence. Our country is willing to be a minister to the great officials, and my emperor is willing to honor Your Majesty as a father. This is a letter of credence. Please, Your Majesty." Take a look!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Open the box and let Zhu Qing see it, and present the letter of credence!"

The old eunuch immediately instructed the two eunuchs to go over, one opened the box, the other took the credentials and sent them to Zhao Junsheng,

An official from Honglu Temple stood up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I have been sent to Liu Song as an envoy, and I have seen Liu Ziye and his close servant Hua Yuan'er. This head belongs to them!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, opened the letter of credence and looked at it, raised his head and said to Wang Daolong: "My lord, regarding Song Mengkang's murder, I am quite satisfied with your country's explanation. I reluctantly accepted the matter of being my father, but the annual tribute has to be increased a little!"

Wang Daolong hurriedly asked: "I don't know what your Majesty means to increase the tribute?"

"Increase by half on the previous basis!"

Wang Daolong thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Hahaha that's good, Mr. Wang's mission for this trip can be regarded as completed. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet in the palace, and Mr. Wang must come!"

Wang Daolong said again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I just heard that your country is dispatching troops to the south. Are you planning to send troops to our dynasty? Since your majesty is satisfied with our court's explanation, shouldn't you withdraw troops and maintain our two kingdoms?" Is there peace in the country?"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "My lord, who told you that I am mobilizing soldiers and horses to attack your country? This is just a routine large-scale mobilization of my military. The Ministry of War of our country will also send officials to check the results of the drill. I call this drill Autumn Exercise, and their marching destination is not to go to Jiangbei, Lord Wang will know in a few days?"

"Really? It must be that your information is wrong. I am really sorry, and I apologize to Your Majesty!"

Chapter 1118

Ten days later, Wang Daolong, the envoy of the Liu Song Dynasty, successively received news from special channels that the cadres from all over the country did not go to Lujiang County to assemble, but went to the nearest city to set up camp and practice every day.

Wang Daolong was relieved now, and after spending several days in Chang'an, he bid farewell to Zhao Junsheng and set off to return to Song State.

In the next two months, Liu Yu, who had just ascended to the Great Treasure, was busy controlling the government and gathering military power, and replaced key positions with his confidants who had always followed him. He also decreed that Liu Ziye's brother Liu Zishang and his sister, Princess Kuaiji, were killed. Liu Chuyu.

Liu Xie killed his nephew to seize the throne, and killed the Zongwang Liu Zishang, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and fear among the brothers and Zongwangs of the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye. Although Liu Ziye is dead, one of these brothers should take the throne. Not Liu Yu who is an uncle, right?

With this in mind, Liu Songzong's kings began to set off a wave of opposition to Liu Yu.

The first to react was King Jin'an and Jiangzhou Inspector Liu Zixun. He was Liu Jun's third son. Although he was young, he was assisted by a famous scholar Deng Wan.

The emperors of the Liu and Song Dynasties named their children and grandchildren really weird. They never knew how to avoid the taboo of their venerables. Let’s just say that this is the king of Jin’an Liu Zixun. His uncle is named Liu Xun, and his uncle and nephew have the same name. Liu Yilong's eldest son once killed his father and seized the throne, and he was the emperor for several months. However, he was not recognized as the emperor who killed his father.

There is also Liu Yu, the current emperor of Liu Song, whose name has the same pronunciation as the great ancestor Liu Yu. What is even more ridiculous is that Liu Yu's eldest son is named Liu Yu, and the names of the father and son are also the same pronunciation.

Not to mention the absurdity that the names of father and son, grandparents, and uncles and nephews have the same pronunciation when the emperor of Liu Song named his descendants, but the struggle within the Liu Song royal family was the most absurd and fierce dynasty in the entire history. If it weren't for this kind of internal friction, it would not have only been a short 60-year reign.

Deng Wan was from Nanchang, Yuzhang. He once served as the prefect of the South China Sea, and later served as the commander of Jin'an Wangzhen, the internal envoy of Xunyang, and the governor of Jiangzhou.

This Jiangzhou is not the Jiangzhou City of Yizhou. Its jurisdiction covers the two provinces of Jiangxi and Fujian in later generations, and the seat of Xunyang is Jiujiang.

After Liu Yu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Deng Wan first stood up on behalf of Jin'an King Liu Zixun and announced that Liu Xun had killed his nephew to seize the throne, and that Liu Yu had killed the Zongwang Liu Zishang.

For this reason, Deng Wan also sent someone to contact Yuan Wei, the governor of Ningzhou, who had been in office for less than half a year, and called on all parties to crusade against Liu Yu in the name of Feihui Liming, and supported Liu Zixun, the young king of Jin'an, as emperor in Xunyang. The reign name is Yijia.

As expected, Liu Zixun's ascension to the throne won the support of the Zongwangs and Fangzhengs from all over the place, which prevented Liu Yu's government orders from going out of the place where the capital was established. What was even more frightening was that these Zongwangs and Fangzhengs also sent troops from various places to attack the capital.

At this time, Liu Yu's brothers and kings were all in the capital, and they all supported Liu Yu, while Liu Zixun's brothers and kings supported Liu Zixun in various places. Dou, Liu Song all over the country began to use Yijia's reign name instead of Liu Yu's Taishi reign name.

The spring of the 28th year of Daqian, February.

The Zongwangs from all over the Liu Song Dynasty sent troops from all directions to the capital to attack Liu Yu, and Liu Yu, in the name of suppressing the chaos, implemented a strategy of defeating the Zongwangs with a small but powerful forbidden army.

He reused generals such as Zhang Yong, Xiao Daocheng, Liu Yu, and Zong Yue, and delegated power to his brother Zong Wang to actively quell the chaos.

Although Liu Zixun's brothers and kings came from all directions, although they had many troops, they were not subordinate to each other, and the combat power of the soldiers was uneven, the military discipline was not strict, and they lacked strong organization and command. They were quickly defeated by Liu Yu's army. Lose, one by one.

It took Liu Yu less than half a year to quell the rebellion of Liu Jun's sons, and he ordered all of Liu Jun's sons to be killed, leaving no one behind.

Although the rebellion was quelled, Liu Yu suffered a great loss, [-]% of his elite troops were lost, his financial resources were exhausted, all places were beaten to pieces due to the war, the spring plowing was destroyed, the people had no harvest, and Liu Song's last sliver of vitality was consumed.

August, Chang'an.

Zhao Junsheng had sent his sons out for more than a year, but he still had no plans or signs of calling them back. These sons only served as local officials in various places, and they were warned if they were even slightly dissatisfied.

Under the shade of the weeping willows by the lake, Zhao Junsheng sat on a horse and held a fishing rod in meditation like an old monk.
