Chapter 94 No Confucianism!
"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."
"... I have specially ordered the Northern Liang King Xu Beichen to wear sword shoes when he enters the palace. He does not need to bow when entering the court, and does not need to name his name when praising or bowing..."
New Year's Day.
In the Beiliang Palace in the imperial city.
Xu Beichen and a group of Beiliang Iron Cavalry generals stood in the courtyard in an official manner, listening to the eunuch in front of them reciting the imperial edict.
But no one knelt down.
After the eunuch finished reading, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his fair and beardless face, and he quickly walked up to Xu Beichen.
He held the imperial edict in both hands and handed it to Xu Beichen.
Xu Beichen waved his hand, and a Beiliang cavalry general behind him immediately stepped forward and took the imperial edict for him.
Not to mention that all these actions are not in accordance with etiquette.
Just the three items in the imperial edict, "wear sword and shoes when entering the palace, do not bow when entering the court, and do not use your name when praising or bowing," can be regarded as a sign of the collapse of rituals and music!
However, at a time like this, who would dare to say anything?
Now, in the Dayang court, almost all the officials who had been hostile to the Beiliang Iron Cavalry have been killed!
Every day, ministers from the court would be pushed out outside the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City one after another.
Until the end of the year.
The Beiliang Iron Cavalry finally settled everything.
As for the daily court session, the one who nominally holds the power of the world is none other than Princess Changyue!
It is extremely rare in this world for a woman to be in charge of a country.
What's more, she is taking over the world as a princess!
Some officials in the imperial court also pointed this out.
You can find a suitable person from among the royal family to inherit the throne.
then……
There's no after that!
After the person who announced the decree left, Li Sisheng moved closer to Xu Beichen.
He coughed a few times and smiled at Xu Beichen: "Your Majesty, now we can be considered to have everything ready!"
"After the New Year, the ice and snow will melt and the roads will be cleared."
"The prince can take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne and announce it to the world!"
In fact, in such a cold winter with heavy snow, the roads were blocked and the transmission of news was extremely slow.
Even if the news of the Northern Liang cavalry's capture of the Dayang Imperial City was spread, it would be difficult for it to be known to the world.
Since Xu Beichen is going to ascend the throne and become emperor, he should also let the world know about the change of ownership of the country!
Xu Beichen was naturally not in a hurry about this.
During the period of occupying the Dayang Imperial City, he had been discussing with Li Sisheng the future governance of the world.
After all, the Northern Liang cavalry attacked and captured cities all the way, and countless officials of the Dayang court who were supposed to govern the area died under the iron hooves of the Northern Liang cavalry!
Even if there were generals capable of governing an area among the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, it would be difficult to fill these vacancies.
The change of dynasties can always be said to be a time of reconstruction.
It is worth mentioning that.
After capturing the Dayang Imperial City, Xu Beichen also gained nearly one million destiny points.
A round of prayers was also conducted.
Obtain items such as insights into profound cultivation, experience of being an emperor, elixir of life, soldier soul...
At present, Xu Beichen is not in such urgent need of these things.
However, it can also provide him with many more trump cards.
As for the third-level blessing, there is naturally one time for it as well.
However, Xu Beichen was a little puzzled about the items he obtained this time.
A piece of jade.
It's just a piece of warm jade, the size of a fist, and looks very precious.
The information Xu Beichen received from above was also very simple.
It embraces everything and can be used for carving.
There is nothing else besides this...
Whenever he thought about it, Xu Beichen always felt that this piece of jade was a bit abstract!
At this time.
Li Sisheng smiled at Xu Beichen and said, "In addition, today General Wang Wu also received a piece of news..."
"I have thought hard about it, but I still can't figure it out!"
Oh?
Hearing this, Xu Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little curious about what kind of news could make Li Sisheng confused!
Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Sisheng's voice again.
"The news came out from Beimang..."
"It is claimed that Cai Song provoked chaos in Dayang, but in fact he was allying with the Prime Minister of Beimang."
"And the Queen Mother of Beimang also specially commended the Prime Minister of Beimang!"
This……
For a moment, even Xu Beichen was stunned.
He could naturally understand the meaning of this.
Beimang...is that considered helping him?
With Bei Mang's characterization of Cai Song, the legitimacy of his previous policy of clearing the court of evil officials suddenly increased a lot!
After thinking about it, Xu Beichen tentatively asked Li Sisheng again.
"In your opinion, was this done by the Queen Mother of Beimang or the Prime Minister of Beimang?"
Helping him for no reason like this...
Xu Beichen's first reaction was to be wary.
There's no way to be sure if someone wants to trick him.
Li Sisheng touched his chin and then spoke slowly.
"The Prime Minister of Northern Mang, Tuoba Zhuhun, would never want to see the stability of the Central Plains."
"Not to mention, lend us a helping hand!"
That’s the Queen Mother of Beimang!
Xu Beichen could understand the meaning of Li Sisheng's words.
"But why would Queen Mother Beimang help us?"
"Wouldn't she want to see chaos in the Central Plains?"
The more chaotic the situation in the Central Plains is, the better it will be for Beimang!
After all, although the Northern Mang army has been driven back, they are still eyeing the Central Plains!
This trouble must be solved...
"This is exactly what I care about." Li Sisheng frowned slightly, "The current situation in Beimang is actually very clear."
"The Queen Mother of Beimang and the Prime Minister of Beimang each have their own factions."
"However, on the surface, it seems that the Prime Minister of Beimang wants to suppress the Queen Mother of Beimang. Perhaps the Queen Mother of Beimang is trying to show her goodwill to us..."
court?
Xu Beichen recalled the scene when he met the Queen Mother Beimang in front of the two armies.
Is this gesture of goodwill intended to unite with the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry to deal with the Northern Mang Prime Minister?
but.
This is somewhat unreasonable...
Then the Queen Mother of Beimang will not worry, because the Beiliang Cavalry will help her defeat the Prime Minister of Beimang.
Then should I bite her back?
Xu Beichen curled his lips.
This woman is not afraid of the consequences of seeking the skin of a tiger!
"Let's wait and see what Beimang's intentions are."
Xu Beichen waved his hand in the end. It was difficult for him to figure out Queen Mother Beimang's intention for a while.
Let’s just not think about it for now and wait until there’s any unusual movement in Beimang!
Li Sisheng nodded and then continued speaking.
"Your Majesty, I have already sorted out some candidates."
"Previously, most of the officials in the Dayang court were followers of Cai Song and were not fit for important positions. There were only a few people in the court who could be considered the clean stream."
"If we want to recruit more court officials, I'm afraid... we still have to select some from among the Confucian students first!"
A Confucian disciple?
Hearing this, Xu Beichen frowned, and a feeling of disgust suddenly arose in his heart.
Earlier, when the Northern Liang cavalry was attacking the Dayang Imperial City, they encountered obstructions from three Confucian land immortals in succession!
It can be said that among the three religions, Confucianism is definitely the group that is most resistant to the Northern Liang Cavalry.
Xu Beichen did not have much desire to employ Confucian disciples.
Although he didn't know much about Confucianism, he knew that the Confucianism in this world actually had the same drawbacks as what he knew in his previous life!
Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head.
“No Confucianism!”
