Heroes of Northern History

It is said that since the death of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the prince Yuanke came to the throne and was called Emperor Xuanwu. At the age of 16, he could not handle various government affairs in person, and left the political affairs to the left and right ministers.The two most trusted are the father-in-law Yu Lie and the emperor's uncle Gao Zhao.

Both Gao Zhao and Yu Lie were the leaders of the army, with heavy troops in their hands, and their weight was quite high. The officials dared not face up to it, and even the kings were afraid of it.At that time, there was Xianyang Wang Yuanxi, the son of Emperor Xianwen, who was at odds with Yu Lie. Seeing that the emperor favored and trusted him, he made public his duties many times, but as an uncle of the emperor, he was alienated and jealous, and he harbored deep resentment. Talented people.

He became close friends with Fu Chengzu, Xue Weisun, the servant of the Huangmen, and Yin Longwu, the general of Zhige, who were on duty in front of the imperial court. "

One day, Emperor Xuanwu drove to Beimang, and the six armies followed.

Yuanxi said to Chengzu and Xue Weisun: "The emperor is out on tour, and the capital is empty. You are ministers serving the emperor, and you are by the emperor's side sooner or later. It is easy to kill the saint. I am inside, and you wait outside. The big thing is done. Wealth is shared."

The two left in response.

On the second day, dozens of party members were called together to discuss the formation of troops in the residence in the west of the city.

Yin Longwu said: "Although the emperor has left the capital, there are Gao Zhao and Yu Lie staying in the capital, so there must be strict defenses. How can the soldiers in the government succeed? If they fail and suffer disasters, what should they do? You should think carefully." Shang also thought it was impossible.The crowd was terrified, and their plans were shelved.

Besides, when Emperor Xuanwu was in Mang Mountain, because of the extremely hot weather, he stopped in the shade of the Buddha on the mountain, laying out bedding and sleeping in the tent.

Xue Weisun and Fu Chengzu participated in the rebellion, but King Xianyang?Seeing that the emperor was sleeping soundly, Xue Weisun hid his weapon under his clothes, and was about to assassinate him.When I came to the tent, I saw that the emperor looked like a god, so I didn't dare to do anything. "

Fu Chengzu pulled his clothes from behind and said: "I heard that people who kill the emperor will have lameness on their bodies. What do you think?" Xue Weisun retreated with a knife.The emperor opened his eyes and saw the two discussing secretly, their shapes flickering, and got up in a hurry.

At that time, Yu Lie's son Yu Dengyisi went straight to bed. As soon as he arrived at the steps, the emperor ordered him to arrest the two.He followed the emperor and captured the two of them. "

The emperor personally tortured them, and the two of them could not hide their knowledge. They said loudly: "It's not that we dare to rebel, but that the disciples of King Xianyang are doing this!"

The emperor was shocked, so he sent the two under the tent.Suddenly the soldiers in front of the imperial court made a report and took a man named Liu Xiaogou, whose relatives died in Xianyang, to tell him about the rebellion in Xianyang. "

The emperor's interrogation was true, and he was afraid that the capital might change.

Yu Deng said: "The father of the minister is the leader of the army, so he must not have any worries."

After hearing this, the emperor sent Yu Deng's flying horse to Beijing to observe.After arriving in Beijing, his father Yu Lie had ordered martial law preparations.

Yu Deng replied: "Although I am old and feeble, I still have enough mental strength.

Yuanxi and others are rampant, don't worry.May the Holy One return and calm people's minds.

The emperor was very happy when he heard about it, and said to Deng: "I appreciate your loyalty, and I bestow the name of loyalty on your family.

So Yu Deng changed his name to Yu Zhong.So the emperor got up overnight and arrived at the imperial city at five o'clock.After entering the palace, Yu Lie and his son were ordered to lead the army to capture King Xianyang. "

Besides, King Xianyang failed to plan a rebellion. Naturally, he was very disturbed in his heart, he!Before they knew that the matter had been revealed, they were living in Hongchi Villa with their two favorite concubines, Mrs. Shentu and Sister Zhang Yu.When I came to report around midnight, the sound of thousands of horses neighing came from the northwest of Hongchi.He was shocked, knowing that the matter had been leaked, and hurried on his horse to escape.Er Ji and her 30 confidants also got on their horses in embarrassment and followed him to escape.After walking for a few miles, the two beloved daughters have been arrested.

All the people are scattered, and Yin Longwu is alone.Because he said to Yin Longwu, "Where should I vote today?"

"Long Wu said: "It's better to go to Nanliang.Because the Southern Song Dynasty had changed four generations at that time, and it was catching up with Emperor Wu of Liang to establish a foundation, so Long Wu advised him to defect to Nanliang, and Xianyang was considering it.

Long Wu said: "My life and death are in the king's hands. Now that the pursuers are approaching, what should I do?" When they reached Baiwuling, Yu Lie and his son caught up, and they were arrested together with Yin Longwu and escorted to Luoyang.The emperor ordered the soldiers to guard them strictly.It was very hot at that time, and the emperor ordered to cut off drinking water. Many people were secretly thirsty and close to death.Cui Guang, the attendant, took pity on them and gave them a liter of buttermilk.But there are seven Xianyang brothers: Chang Xiaowen, Ci Xianyang, three kings of the county, four kings of Guangling, five kings of Gaoyang, king Pengcheng, and seven kings of Beihai. "

Among the brothers, only Pengcheng Wang Yuanxie is the wisest.At that time, I was very sad to hear about Xianyang's rebellion, because I discussed Xianyang's crimes with the kings and ministers in front of the emperor, and persuaded the emperor to demote him as a commoner and stay in the palace until his death.The emperor hesitated.

Yu Lie and Gao Zhao played together: "The king of Xianyang murdered the king and rebelled, and the death crime cannot be pardoned."

"The emperor listened to their opinions, so he ordered his concubine Li to die on the same day. His children and descendants were imprisoned, and all the rebels were killed; property was confiscated and gifted to the Gao and Yu families; Prostitutes, fill the inner court."

Some people in the old palace feel the favor of Xianyang and sing songs to mourn.

This song says: Poor Lord Xianyang, how can he do a poor job.The golden bed of jade can hardly sleep, and the night sleeps in frost and dew.Luoshui is clear and long, and pedestrians have to cross.

This song spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and the northerners in the south shed tears when they heard it.Besides, King Pengcheng was very sad because he could not save King Xianyang at that time.Later, I heard that his eldest son Yuan Tong had fled to Hanoi prefect Lu's house. He killed him and sealed his head into the court without remembering his old kindness. He felt even more sad.So I never go to worship the emperor, and just sit in the mansion all day long.

One day, an angel came to summon him to go to the court to see the emperor.

The emperor sat down and said: "There is one thing about Lao Qing's family, which was facilitated by the Qing family. I have been married for three years and have no son. Now I heard that the emperor's uncle Gao Yan has a daughter, Xiu'e, who is 16 years old. A few days ago Princess Tian Gaoping came to the court and talked about his daughter who has both talents and looks, and is unparalleled in virtue and appearance. I want to accept it, and I also ask the Qing family to help me read what I mean."

Knowing that Gao Zhao was involved, King Pengcheng wanted to get rid of the queen's relatives to consolidate his favor, so he said, "This is the niece and daughter of Empress Wenzhao, and she is a cousin with His Majesty, so she shouldn't pretend to be a concubine."

The emperor said: "What does it matter. I sent you to see what he does."

Pengcheng didn't dare to disobey, so he went to Gao Zhao's house first to express the emperor's wishes.Then he went to Yan Mansion with Gao Zhao and ordered Xiu'e to appear. When he came out, he saw her and thought to himself: She is really beautiful and unparalleled. No wonder the Holy Majesty wants to admit her into the palace.However, if you enter the palace, you will definitely be favored by the emperor.But looking at her handsome eyes and brows, I'm afraid she has no virtue.What's more, she was not a kind daughter in the first place, and now she has been favored and monopolized power. When she gets help in the future, she will definitely run amok and bring disaster to the country.So he got up and left, playing back: "Although this girl has a good appearance, she is light and has no muscles and bones. I am afraid she is not a blessed person."

After the emperor knew about it, he ignored it.

After Gao Zhao knew about it, he deeply resented King Pengcheng. "

One day, the emperor was sitting in the side hall and served by Yu Zhong.

The emperor occasionally said: "Gao Yan's daughter is very beautiful. Peng Cheng said that she is not allowed to enter the palace because of her poor fortune. I like her very much."

"Yu Zhong also had a quarrel with Pengcheng, so he said: "The king of Pengcheng harmed my master, this woman is as beautiful as a fairyland, how can she not be rewarded?" "

"The emperor heard this, so he decided to accept it, and ordered the relevant departments to prepare gifts to welcome in. The emperor saw that Xiu'e was of youthful quality and brilliance, and all the women in the harem were inferior to her, and there was no one who could compare with her. Your concubine, the favorite of the Sixth Palace.

Because the emperor suspected that King Pengcheng had deceived himself and said that this woman was not good, the emperor favored Gao Shi even more. "

Let's say that since Emperor Xiaowen, the Wei State has advocated Buddhism, built monasteries, and some noble and noble women have become monks and practiced.The younger sister of Hu Guozhen, Marquis of Wu'an, became a nun in Hutong Temple.Fang Guozhen's wife, Huangfu, had not given birth for a long time. She became pregnant suddenly in the 13th year of Taihe and gave birth to a daughter. The room was illuminated by red light and purple energy, which was very strange.There is Zhao Ming, a divination man, and his secrets make people divination.

Zhao Ming said: "This girl will be a great noble in the future, and one day she will be the mother of the world, but I'm afraid she won't get a good result." Guozhen was very happy with the county town and gave her the name Xianzhen.This belongs to Queen Mother Hu of Zhao Wuling.The queen's wife gave birth to another daughter named Qiongzhen.The wife died early, and both daughters were young.Teacher Jing took pity on her for having no mother, so she took Xianzhen into the temple to raise her. "

Gradually, Xianzhen grew up, intelligent in nature, proficient in articles, and could understand the Bible and Buddhist scriptures at a glance, and his complexion became more and more beautiful.Jingxiu wanted to take him as a disciple at first, but I'm afraid she didn't understand. At the age of 16, sent back to Guozhen.At that time, the emperor had no heirs, so he invited monks to do good deeds in the Shigan Hall on the first and fifteenth day of the new lunar month on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and summoned the kings, sons-in-law, ministers and ministers to study Buddhist scriptures.He also gave the monks a fasting meal and everyone came to find the prince at Guangyang Gate.Later, female monks were also invited to chant scriptures and pray for blessings in the palace.Fang Guozhen's younger sister Jing Shi went to the palace to give lectures.Later, I saw that she was proficient in Buddhist scriptures and respected her very much.Every time I enter the palace, I don't go out for several months. I talk about it sooner or later, and I agree with each other. "

One day, Yu Hou said to Master Jing: "Teacher, have you seen a girl from a good family outside who has both talent and appearance?"

"Master Jing said: "Yes. "

"Queen Yu asked: "Whose family's daughter? "

"Master Jing said: "Brother Ni Guozhen's daughter. 17 years old, named Xianzhen, talented, beautiful and virtuous, unmarried. "

"Queen Yu said: "Can you come and see me once? "

"Master Jing said: "My lady wanted to see this girl, so the nun brought her to see her.But the palace is heavily guarded, and it may be inconvenient to go in and out. "

"Empress Yu said: "Just say that you are following the order of my palace, who dares to hinder me?" "

"Teacher Jing agreed and left. So I went to Hu Guozhen's house and told her that she was following Yu Hou's order to bring Xianzhen into the palace before Yu Hou."

Guozhen said: "The girl's family has never seen court etiquette, how can she enter the palace to meet the queen?"

"Master Jing said: "My niece has been smart since she was a child, and she will definitely not be rude when she enters the palace.Besides, I'm here, so don't worry. "

"Master Jing said to Xianzhen: "It is hard to disobey the order in the future, and I must take you into the palace to see him.I don't know if Xianzhen is really afraid? "

"Xianzhen said: "What is there to be afraid of? "

Guozhen and Master Jing were very happy after hearing this.

Get up at five o'clock the next day, and enter the palace with Master Jing. "

Seeing that he was a pure teacher and skilled in dealing with business, they let him in.Master Jing first came to report in front of Yuhou, and then took Xianzhen to kneel on the golden steps, performed pilgrimage, and called Niangniang a thousand years old.

Queen Yu ordered them to sit flat and invite them to sit down.Take a closer look at Xianzhen, with a solemn attitude and a beautiful face.Not only was the voice clear between the openings, but also the answers were fluent, and I was very happy.Xianzhen entered the palace for the first time, so he didn't dare to stay for too long, so he left immediately.Empress Yu gave her a pearl.After Xianzhen saw it, he thanked the queen.The servant sent her out of the palace, and the family welcomed her back to the mansion.Master Jing wanted to leave, so he said to the queen, "Master, don't leave yet. I still have something to tell you." If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
