Chapter 262 Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor (Part 2)

Guo Wei issued an edict. Although the ministers were in the hall of the court, they still couldn't help but whisper and shocked. There have been several dynasties since the end of the Tang Dynasty, but which dynasty emperor did not just say some auspicious words? Only Guo Wei dared to be pragmatic and reformed the past and made new things when he ascended the throne! This is not only a blessing for everyone, but also a blessing for the people!

At this moment, a messenger stepped into the hall and reported loudly to Guo Wei: "Report to Your Majesty, General Dong Zunhui of Ningyuan is sent to report: Gong Tingmei, Yang Wen and others under Liu Yun from Xuzhou, together with the memorial, congratulations to Your Majesty for ascending the throne and becoming emperor! Here is the memorial, please read the emperor!"

Guo Wei was very happy, and Feng Dao and others even congratulated each other. The old subordinates of Liu Yun from Xuzhou came to congratulate him on ascending the throne and becoming emperor. Who else in the world dared to disobey him?!

However, Guo Wei was not careless, but immediately ordered: He Fujin, the former defense envoy of Caozhou, to temporarily serve as the governor of Xuzhou; Wang Yanchao, the former defense envoy of Fuzhou, to temporarily serve as the governor of Xuzhou; Li Hongyi, the former military governor of Chanzhou, to temporarily serve as the governor of Songzhou. At the same time, he gave the title of Empress Dowager Li, called "Empress Dowager Zhaosheng", and lived in the West Palace. Guo Wei also ordered the officials to choose a time for the former lord Liu Chengyou to die.

As the last emperor of the previous dynasty, although his funeral was grand, it was not very important except for the orthodox declaration of the new dynasty. Soon the officials finalized the funeral period. Guo Wei changed into mourning clothes and came to the West Palace to pay tribute to memorial service. He ordered the court to stop the court for seven days and ban the music in the market. Guo Wei also posthumously named Liu Chengyou as Emperor Yin of Han, and was buried with emperor etiquette. He also sent former lord Liu Yu to escort the coffin and mourn Xuzhou. (When everyone stopped paying attention to the West Palace, Liu Chengxun, the former Kaifeng Yin, continued to die violently, and was later posthumously named King Chen.)

At this time, the new dynasty had been established, and Wang Yin and others submitted a petition for sacrifice to the ancestral temple. Guo Wei quickly approved: he respected Gaozu Jing as the ancestor of Xin, and his mother Zhang was Empress Ruigong; great-grandfather Zhan was Emperor Xi, and his mother Shen was Empress Mingxiao; Zu Yun was Emperor Yizu, and his mother Han was Empress Yijing; father Jian was Emperor Qingzu, and his mother Wang was Empress Zhangde.

The wife Chai posthumously named the queen and posthumously named Shengmu; posthumously named Yang as Shu Concubine, and posthumously named Zhang as Guifei. The eldest son Qingge'er gave the name Dong and posthumously named Taibao. Guo Wei also posthumously named several nephews who died tragically in the coup. Among them, the nephew Shouyun changed his name to Yuan and posthumously named General Left Leader; nephew Fengchao posthumously named General Left Supervisor; nephew Dingge'er named Xun and posthumously named General Left Qiangu; nephew Xige'er named Cheng and posthumously named General Wuwei; nephew third brother gave the name to Yan and posthumously named General Left Leader.

At the same time, Guo Wei joined the second wife Dong as Concubine De, and the prince Yige'er gave the title of Xin and added the title of Sikong; the princess Le'an as Princess. As for the adopted son Guo Rong (Chai Rong), he was added the title of Taibao Insurance.

In the bloody coup in Kaifeng Prefecture not long ago, Gao Guiying successfully rescued Yi Ge'er with the help of Wang Zhengzhong and others, completely changed history. Guo Wei was no longer alone, but was able to save his children.

However, in this way, Guo Wei also had troubles, that is, there was more than one heir. Although Yi Ge'er was his biological brother, he was still young and had no ability after all, and he was rashly awarded the title of crown prince was just a harm to him. The adopted son Guo Rong and nephew Li Chongjin performed well recently, and Guo Wei was not sure of his decision. Anyway, he is only forty-eight years old now, and he thinks there will be more time in the future, so Guo Wei did not grant Guo Rong the title of Marquis of Taiyuan County and the governor of Chanzhou as in history, but only gave Guo Rong a false title of Taibao as the school inspector.

Guo Wei also rewarded all civil and military officials, and he quickly issued an order: Gao Xingzhou promoted the title of Shangshu Ling and was named King Qi. In fact, this king's edict was to win over the veteran Gao Xingzhou, and on the other hand, it was also to reward Gao Xingzhou's daughter Gao Guiying for sacrificing her life to save her. After all, Guo Wei heard the secret memorial of the imperial physicians that Gao Guiying was severely injured and her life was greatly reduced, and she was likely to not survive this year. In addition, Guo Wei also promoted Dong Zunhui to General Dingyuan and added the title of General Yulin Lang for the personal guard.

Guo Wei also ordered Wang Yin to be given the title of Tongpingzhang to serve as the remaining subordinate to Yedu, and the army remained the same. The former Grand Tutor Feng Dao was the Grand Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat, and the Minister of the Secretariat. Former Prime Minister Dou Zhengu was appointed as the Minister of the State Council and also compiled the national history. Su Yugui served as the Minister of Sikong and the Minister of Pingzhang. The other civil and military officials who surrendered to Guo Wei were each awarded.

Guo Wei is a very nostalgic person. From time to time, he recalled the scenes of himself chatting and laughing with his old comrades Yang Bin and others, and specially named Yang Bin as the Prince of Hengnong, Shi Hongzhao as the Prince of Zheng, and Wang Zhang as the Prince of Langya.

After such promotion and pension, the officials of the entire court were cheered up, and everyone was closely united around the Later Zhou leadership group centered on Guo Wei, working together and striving for progress.

In such a harmonious environment, Dong Zunhui escorted Liu Yun and his party to Kaifeng Prefecture. Not long ago, he had handed over the defenses of Xuzhou and Songzhou, and left three thousand soldiers to assist in the defense. At this time, the only two thousand veterans who followed Dong Zunhui to Kaifeng Prefecture were his commanders.

The Later Zhou Dynasty had just been established, and the city gate access control was very strict, and Guo Wei relied on the war to rebel, so he sat on the dragon throne and had particularly strict control over the troops. According to the order he had just issued, all foreigners and horses would be disbanded after they arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture and entered the camp of the former guards' personal army. The generals could only lead the personal bodyguards into Beijing, and the size of the guards could not exceed one hundred people.

Dong Zunhui was reluctant to give up the lower-level officers he had worked hard to train. He drew all the officers above the team, formed his own temporary guard, and then took them into Kaifeng Prefecture. He first secretly handed Liu Yun to the imperial prison, and then went to the Privy Council to report to the emperor to summon the emperor, and then took everyone to the Fuwang Escort Agency.

Guo Wei ascended the throne through mutiny this time, but he did not indulge his soldiers too much, so the security situation in Kaifeng Prefecture did not deteriorate too much. In addition, Wang Zhengzhong's Fuwang Gambling House and Fuwang Escort Agency also made some efforts in the rescue of Yi Ge'er. Guo Wei sent people to protect him shortly after leading his army into the city, and the Fuwang Street was basically not affected.

Everyone came to the Fuwang Escort Agency, arranged the guest room, bed, and had a short rest. Soon Dong Zunhui called everyone together and said with a smile: "In the past two months, everyone has fought and fought around. Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, everyone is celebrating together, and I will make an exception for everyone to have a short vacation. After a while, everyone will go to the counter to withdraw some money, not much, and the team is ten stakes, all of them are over twenty stakes, which is the expenses we spend in Kaifeng Prefecture these days. If you are willing to play money, go to the Fuwang Gambling House. If you want to drink and have fun, go to the restaurant next to the gambling house. If you drink too much, you can keep your accounts. If you want to lively, go to Huajie Liuxiang by yourself, but you can listen to me. Try to avoid going in the kiln. Most of the girls there are sick, so you can't regret it for a lifetime!"

Everyone laughed and agreed. Wang Zhengzhong sat behind the counter with the roster and distributed money to everyone one by one. Everyone was carrying the money bags, very excited, and they all sighed in their hearts: It would be better to follow Lord Dong!

Ma Dehai took a few friends he knew to the gambling house, and the number of people was quite high. Dang Jin was also on holiday by Dong Zunhui and happily went to the restaurant to worship Wudian Temple.

At this time, Dong Zunhui saw Cao Quan staying aside with the reward money, and asked with a smile: "Guozhang, why are you standing here stupidly? Why don't you go and have some fun? We have been fighting for many days and we also need a rest to change our mood."

Cao Quan said embarrassedly: "General, this is the first time I have come to Kaifeng Prefecture. That... well... I really don't know where the Huajie Liuxiang is. Besides, you just said you should be careful not to get sick, so I really don't dare to bump into it."

Dong Zunhui laughed and said to Zhang Yi beside him: "Lingyun, you take Guozhang to have a good time, maybe he is still a virgin!"

Everyone laughed, Cao Quan blushed, but he still followed Zhang Yi firmly and ran towards the flower world in Kaifeng Mansion.

Dong Zunhui smiled and shook his head, and ate a big pot of rice with more than ten guards who stayed here. He cooked a large pot of water and soaked his feet comfortably. When he was rubbing the soles of his feet happily, there was a sudden movement outside the yard and the dog barked constantly.

Dong Zunhui frowned. The new emperor ascended the throne, and no one dared to move. Who would have come to the nearby area? He was a little surprised, pulled his shoes, put on a coat, and walked out strode.

At this time, the left-behind guards also heard the news. Although they were in Kaifeng Mansion, they did not relax their guards. They were still wearing full armor and each carrying weapons to wait for battle at any time.

At this time, the door knocker rang, and someone had been there, talking to the visitor, opened the door in a hurry, and knelt aside.

Dong Zunhui looked in surprise and saw the leader walking on the tiger and dragon. It was Guo Wei!

Dong Zunhui hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "I have seen Your Majesty, I have met Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

The soldiers on the side were also stunned, put down their weapons, knelt down with Dong Zunhui, and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty!"

Guo Wei smiled and helped Dong Zunhui up, slapped the dust on his knees, and said with a smile: "You and I, the master and apprentice, don't be polite. I will handle government affairs tonight. I happened to leave the palace when I have time, so I will sit here and ask for a bowl of tea."

Dong Zunhui quickly welcomed Guo Wei into the room. The guards had already entered in advance and prepared tables, chairs and tea sets. Dong Zunhui stood aside stupidly, watching the eunuchs skillfully brewing tea and pouring water, and felt that he was an outsider.

Guo Wei was also a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was an emperor and had a strong adaptability. After drinking two cups of tea, Guo Wei quickly ordered the eunuchs to retreat and whispered: "Daoan, there is news coming tonight. Liu Chong, under the persuasion of the second son Liu Chengjun, openly claimed to be the emperor regardless of Liu Yun's safety. The country name continues to be Han, and the Qianyou era name is still used! At present, Liu Chengjun has sent troops to Jinzhou, and the troops there are very weak. I want you to lead a thousand cavalry to quickly reinforce Jinzhou, and the large group of troops will go on the expedition. What do you think?"

Dong Zunhui quickly agreed: "The last general will definitely arrive in Jinzhou quickly. With the last general, Jinzhou will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai!"
