Heroes of Northern History

It is said that Emperor Xiaozhuang was afraid of the rebellion of Erzhu's party members, so he pardoned his sins and added him to the rank, and first sent Zhu Yuanlong to appease Kansai.I also heard that Erzhu Shilong arrived in Jianzhou, and the governor Lu Xizhi closed the city gate and stood firm.

Erzhu Shilong broke through the city gate and massacred the people in the city. Only a few people escaped by chance.So General Yang Yu was recruited to recruit [-] soldiers and sent troops to crusade from the east road.First, Gao Aocao was released to the fields and then robbed. Er Zhurong planned to capture him and imprison him in Jinyang.When he entered the court, he was brought to Beijing and imprisoned in the Camel and Cattle Department.

When Er Zhurong died, the emperor introduced him and expressed his condolences and encouragement.Gao Gan heard that the emperor had killed Er Zhurong, so he also rushed to Luoyang from East Jizhou.The emperor appointed Gao Gan as the ambassador of Hebei, and Gao Aocao as the general of Zhihe, and ordered them to recruit the villagers to unite with volunteers and cooperate with aid.

Emperor Xiaozhuang personally gave the bridge to the river, raised his wine glass, pointed to the river and said: "Qing's brother is a hero of the wing department, and my subordinates are willing to give up their lives for him. The capital will change in the future, can you serve me?" Gao Gan accepted the order with tears , Gao Ao Cao drew his sword and danced, impassioned, and vowed to repay with death.The emperor appreciated him, and the two left.

When Emperor Xiaozhuang returned to the court, he entered the palace to see him. At that time, the crown prince had been born for eighteen days.The queen's body has recovered, and she is sitting on the imperial couch chatting with Emperor Xiaozhuang. "

Emperor Xiaozhuang asked: "Who is stronger and who is weaker among your uncles and nephews?"

Empress Erzhu said: "Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Tianguang and others are very mediocre. Only Wan Renxiong is difficult to control and easy to fight. If there is any change, the generals of the Eastern Division will not be his opponents. At that time, not only Your Majesty, I am afraid It is also difficult for the concubines to save their lives. The concubines are very worried about His Majesty in private."

Emperor Xiaozhuang sighed and said: "I don't know if the sky will help me. By the way, I heard that the queen knows the sky well. Can I go to see it with me tonight?"

Queen Erzhu replied, "Yes."

"There is a high platform in the palace for stargazing. So after the dinner, the emperor and the empress went on the stage together at the third watch. There were no clouds in the sky, the stars and the moon were bright and white.

Empress Erzhu pointed out and said to Emperor Xiaozhuang: "This is Wenchang star, the color is very dark, and the main minister is in trouble. This is Zhongtai star, its light is chaotic, and the main court is not quiet. Ziwei star, the emperor's throne, the throne will be lost. what to do?"

"The emperor also learned a lot about astronomy when he was young. If you look carefully, you can see that it is so true. I saw a star in the east, shining brightly and purple, with the shape of a dragon and a tiger on it. Empress Erzhu was shocked and said: "This It's the spirit of the Son of Heaven!I don't know who it is. "After reading it, let out a long sigh."

The emperor also knew that his life was not long, and said: "I don't have time!"

Sob and cry together.The next day, the emperor summoned Sitian Taishi to inquire.Let's put these aside for now, let's not talk about it for the time being. "

Let's say that Zhu Yuanlong passed through Tongguan and went to Jingzhou. At that time Er Zhu Tianguang and Hou Mo Chenyue were in Jingzhou to discuss advances and retreats with He Bayue.I heard that Zhu Yuanlong had arrived, so I took him into the city to meet him.Erzhu Tianguang said to him: "You helped the emperor harm the king of Taiyuan, how dare you come here?"

Zhu Yuanlong told him about it and persuaded him to surrender.

When Erzhu Tianguang heard this, he said furiously, "You damn bastard, I want to kill you to pay homage to Taiyuan King?"

"Erzhu Tianguang wants to draw his sword and kill him.

He Bayue hurriedly got up, stopped him, and said: "General, don't be impatient, Yuan Long is an old man of Jun's family, if you have something to discuss, it is easy to discuss."

Erzhu Tianguang endured it for the time being, so he sat down again.

He Bayue said: "The emperor has favored us, so we should hand in our hands. I will repair the form tonight, and I will let you know." So he left Zhu Yuanlong to live in his private office.

Erzhu Tianguang retreated to ask for advice, He Bayue said: "I heard that Wanren in Fenzhou has occupied Jinyang, I guess he will lead the army to make trouble. When he makes trouble, we will attack the capital secretly and our dream will come true. If Yuanlong is killed, they will definitely take precautions, then how can we accomplish great things. We have to pretend to surrender and stand still until the court relaxes."

When Erzhu Tianguang and Chen Yue heard this, they were overjoyed and treated Zhu Yuanlong kindly.In fact, He Bayue was lying. "

Besides, when Er Zhuzhao heard that Er Zhurong was dead, he led [-] light cavalry from Fenzhou and marched to occupy Jinyang.I heard that when Princess Beixiang and Shilong's army arrived in Changzi City, they flew to see him and asked why Tianzhu was killed. He gritted his teeth and said: "Since he killed Tianzhu cruelly, don't blame me for being ruthless. Why don't you set up a new king to order him?" The world, and then raise troops to take revenge, but the descendants of the Yuan family don't know who to stand up for."

Erzhu Shilong said: "Bingzhou acts, Taiyuan prefect Changguang Wang Yuanhui can be established." So he returned to Bingzhou and jointly elected Yuanhui as the emperor.The reign name was changed to Jianming, and Erzhu was made the queen, the eldest daughter of Erzhuzhao.Amnesty to the world.

Both Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Shilong were promoted to the title of king.Therefore, the banner of justice was established, the call to action was sent to all counties, and the six armies were led in order to take Luoyang directly.He also wanted to recruit people from Jinzhou. Considering that Gao Huan disagreed, it was because of the order of the new master that Gao Huan was made the Duke of Pingyang County, given a thousand pieces of silk, and called them to come together to carry out important events.Gao Huan didn't want to go, so he sent Chief Shi Sun Teng to Jinyang and wrote to Er Zhuzhao, saying: Gao Huan accepted the kindness of the king of Taiyuan, treated me as his own, and gave me riches and honor.However, the mountain bandits have not been pacified yet, so there is no room for injustice. If they are pacified, they will surely lead the three armies and stand across the river as horns. "

Wan Ren was not happy when he saw the book, and said to Sun Teng: "If he doesn't want to come, then send a general to help, otherwise, we will lose face." Sun Teng returned.

Gao Huan said: "Er Zhuzhao is stupid, and he will perish sooner or later, but if they don't send generals to help, they must think that I have surrendered to Emperor You."

"Wei Shizhen took the order and set off today. When he came to Jinyang, he saw Er Zhuzhao and said to him: "My master has a mission and cannot come to help.Therefore, the last general came to help. "

"Er Zhuzhao said happily: "Scholar really came to help, I don't worry anymore. So Wan Ren led [-] elite cavalry as the vanguard. Princess Beixiang asked Er Zhu Shilong to temporarily take charge of the central army. Er Zhu Dulu Yanbo was the rear team. The soldiers guarded, and Er Zhuzhao led the troops to attack. The arrows were closed and the stones were handed over, so they could not advance.

Er Zhuzhao ordered the soldiers to insult fiercely, and Bofeng became angry and went out to fight in person.Fang lined up, Er Zhuzhao yelled, rushed in alone, killed Bofeng with a single shot, and the soldiers ran wild.So he took the opportunity to enter Taniguchi, and all the guards fled.Yuan Zigong heard that Taniguchi had been lost, and led his troops to retreat.Er Zhuzhao then went on a double journey, traveling seven hundred miles in one night, until he arrived at the ferry of the Yellow River.

First, half a month ago, a resident at the ferry crossed dreamed that someone said to him: "Erzhu's soldiers and horses are coming, and I order you to be the order of Bojin to shrink the water of the Yellow River to benefit the economy." , everyone is delusional.Within three days, the man died. "

When Er Zhuzhao reached the mouth of the river, he was blocked by the flood and could not do anything.Suddenly a man in white clothes came to the front of the army and shouted: "If the troops follow me, they will be able to cross the river." Er Zhuzhao called him to see him and asked him, he said: "The water of the Manbojin River is very shallow. I can walk on my feet. I will pull the road to help the army cross the river."

"Er Zhuzhao believed him, and led his men to follow him to the ferry. As soon as the man jumped into the water, after a while, clouds and mist rose, and the wind blew up. They didn't even reach the horse's belly. Er Zhuzhao said happily, "God help me too. "Riding the horse into the water, all the people went down to accompany him to cross the river. Suddenly, the wind rose again, the yellow sand was everywhere, the sky was covered by thick fog, and the sun was as dark as night. When the soldiers arrived in Luoyang, the soldiers in the city were completely unaware, so they entered the city, and the army besieged the big Inside, the drums were beating and shouting. It was dawn, and the guards knew that the enemy had arrived. In a hurry, there was no time to take the guns, and it was too late to shoot the arrows. Seeing the casualties, they all scattered and fled.”

At that time, the emperor was in the Xuanzheng Hall, worried about the fall of the Pill Valley, and discussed with his ministers the strategy of fighting the enemy, and wanted to personally lead the army to crusade.Huashan Wang Yuanzhu said: "How can Er Zhuzhao pass through the Yellow River? Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty."

He suddenly heard shouts like boiling outside, and sent the waiter out to have a look, but no one returned.The emperor was worried, so he took a few servants and stepped out of the Yunlong Gate to wait and see. Seeing Chengyang riding a horse passing through the imperial street, he yelled a few times and turned his head to look away.

Anxious to retreat, the bandit cavalry had arrived, captured the emperor and sent him to Yongning Temple, where he was locked upstairs.The emperor was so cold that he lost his turban, and asked others for it, but no one helped him.Er Zhuzhao entered the palace and allowed the soldiers to plunder wantonly. They seized Linhuai Wang Yuanhe, Fanyang Wang Yuanjiao, Qingzhou Inspector Li Tingbin and several others, and killed them all.

Entering the harem, the queen refused to see her behind closed doors.Erzhu Zhao went out to sit in the hall, and used the emperor's golden drum to set up a leak in the courtyard.He ordered Er Zhu Zhihu to meet the queen, assuming that the crown prince would be established as emperor.Erzhu Zhihu entered the palace, asked to see him, and told the omens.

The queen believed it, and ordered the wet nurse to hold the prince and go straight to Xianyang Hall to see Er Zhuzhao.At that time, the prince was born for two months.Er Zhuzhao got angry and killed the prince and the wet nurse.Live in the palace that night, defile concubines and concubines. "

The next day, he ordered all the officials not to allow one person to fail, and if he violated it, he would be executed immediately.So all civil and military officials gathered and bowed their heads.

Er Zhuzhao always hated King Chengyang, knowing that he had escaped, he ordered the counties to arrest him.

The King of Chengyang fled to Nanshan, not knowing whom to turn to. He suddenly remembered that Luoyang Commander Kou Zuren, one of the three governors, was promoted by himself.So he went to join him.

He also has a hundred catties of gold and fifty horses. Kou Zuren pretended to take him in because he was greedy for property, and said to his disciples privately: "I heard that Er Zhuzhao offered a reward for the capture of Chengyang King Yuanhui. If he is caught, he will be named Marquis of a Thousand Households. Today Wealth has arrived."

So he pretended to say to the king of Chengyang: "The news has been revealed, and the arrest of officials is about to come. Your majesty, it is better to flee to another place to wait for the matter to subside. The king of Chengyang was afraid and fled alone. Kou Zuren sent someone to stop and kill him on the road. Send the head to Er Zhuzhao. Er Zhuzhao did not add any reward. One night Yuan Hui said to him: "I have 200 taels of gold and [-] horses at Kou Zuren's house. You can go and get them. "

"Er Zhuzhao woke up from his dream and felt that the dream was real, so he sent people to capture Kou Zuren and forcefully confiscated his gold and horses. Kou Zuren thought that someone else had tipped off the news, but he had no choice but to send things to the omen. In fact, he only had 100 gold. [-]. Fifty horses. Er Zhuzhao suspected that he deliberately concealed the facts and tortured him.

Kou Zuren was afraid of being killed, so he gave Er Zhuzhao all the 30 taels of gold he had obtained in the past.But Er Zhuzhao still didn't believe it, and got angry, tied him to a tree, and beat him to death with a whip.He also copied his whole family and killed all his children.After killing, that's all. "

Soon, Erzhu Shilong and Princess Beixiang arrived, thinking that Er Zhuzhao would definitely come back to greet him, but Er Zhuzhao didn't come out to greet him because of his great achievements.Erzhu Shilong was unhappy, and entered the city to camp on the ground of the teaching ground, so he entered the court together with Erzhu Duluyanbo, Sima Ziru, Liu Gui and others.

When Er Zhuzhao saw Er Zhu Shilong, he didn't want him to salute at all, and blamed him, saying: "Uncle has a wide range of eyes and ears in the court. Why did he suffer such a catastrophe?" He drew his sword and glared at Er Zhu Shilong.Erzhu Shilong declined to thank him, but said that it was out of his own will, and he hated him deeply since then. "Empress Erzhu also resented Wanren (Erzhu Zhao) for committing the crime. When she heard that his mother had arrived in Beijing, she came out of the palace in a chariot to see her in private. Prayed for mother to save the emperor's life. Princess Beixiang said: "Today Wanren must come to see me to see what he has to say. "

Soon Er Zhuzhao arrived.Princess Beixiang first praised his performance, and Er Zhuzhao was very happy when he heard that, knowing that the queen was here.

When the queen came out, Er Zhuzhao saluted the queen.Seeing the empress's sad face, he said: "What is the empress worried about? The emperor killed Tianzhu. I wanted to kill the emperor, but for the sake of the empress, I only killed his son and imprisoned him in Yongning Temple.

"Princess Beixiang said: "The prince is dead, so don't talk about it, but the emperor, you must not kill her. Your sister is the person your uncle loves the most. If she doesn't agree to kill, you will absolutely kill her." Can not kill. "

"Er Zhuzhao said: "The emperor doesn't care about affection. Besides, it's not like my sister can't marry a good man, so why must I save that bastard's life. "The queen changed her face and said: "If you are marrying, it will be a disgrace to the family. I would rather die than do it!" "The queen asked to see the emperor.

Er Zhuzhao ordered two lieutenants to accompany him.The palace lady sent the queen to Yongning Temple. When the emperor saw the queen, he was shocked and said: "Why did you come to see me now. Tears flowed out with the words."The queen hugged the emperor and cried loudly, saying: "The concubine endured death so that I could come to see your majesty."

Emperor Xiaozhuang said: "I'm afraid I won't survive. The queen is not an ordinary daughter, and she will surely save her life." The queen cried and said, "I will never fail your majesty in my life."

Before he finished speaking, Er Zhuzhao sent someone to urge him.The queen had no choice but to bid farewell to the emperor and went downstairs, crying with her head in her arms, her tears wet her clothes, she was very pitiful, and all the people around her shed tears. "

Princess Beixiang knew that the queen had returned to the palace, and wanted to visit the palace, but was afraid that Wanren would take away the army horse. After much deliberation, she could only stay in the camp.Suddenly it was reported that Zhongyuan and Tianguang had come to see him, and the princess invited them to see him.Why do you think the two came to Beijing?Before Tianzhu died, Zhongyuan rebelled in Xuzhou.

Jingzong appointed Zheng Xianhu as the chief general, and He Basheng as the deputy general to lead the army to crusade.First protect the suspected victorious party and Erzhu, and keep them out of the camp, so repeated battles are disadvantageous.When Luoyang was lost, Xianhu fled to Nanliang, He Basheng finally surrendered Er Zhu Zhongyuan, so Er Zhu Zhongyuan entered Luoyang.Erzhu Tianguang listened to He Bayue's advice and stopped his troops.Later, I heard that Er Zhuzhao had entered the capital, so Qingqi came to see him, and went to the camp to meet Princess Beixiang.

After meeting Princess Beixiang, she asked them to persuade Er Zhuzhao not to kill the emperor.The two said: "The situation is like this, I'm afraid it's not good to say."

"The two resigned. Before long, each returned to his old position. Er Zhuzhao tried to kill the emperor many times.

One day, I got a letter from Gao Huan, stating the good and bad for him, not to kill the emperor and be scolded by thousands of people.Er Zhuzhao was not happy, and said to Sima Ziru, "How dare He Liuhun do this?"

"Sima Ziru said: "He Liuhun just hopes that the king will be a generous person, so as to appease people's hearts.Your Majesty, if you kill the Emperor, what will people in the world think of your Majesty. Er Zhuzhao said, "No need to say any more, I want to see him." "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
