Heroes of Northern History

Besides, she kept Jingshi later and refused to let her go, so Jingshi had to stay and ask her what she wanted. "Queen Yu said: "I can't give birth to an emperor's heir, so I want to choose a daughter from a good family.Used as a concubine.Today I saw your brother's daughter is talented and beautiful, she is suitable to be a concubine.This palace will report to the Holy Majesty and bring it into the harem.I don't know what the master's wishes are? "

Master Jing said: "It is a great favor for this girl to be favored by her mother. But my brother has always loved his daughter very much. The minister and nun can't make decisions, so I need to discuss it with my brother."

Empress Yu said: "Your elder brother Hu Guozhen is also a minister of the imperial court. Naturally, he needs to obtain his wishes before he can be summoned. You should go back quickly and talk to your elder brother." Master Jing went straight to Guozhen's house following Yu's order Go ahead and explain. "At this time, Xianzhen came back and was telling Yu Hou about the generous hospitality in the hall. "Suddenly it was reported that the master of purification had arrived, and the father and daughter received him, and the two parties sat down." "

Master Jing said: "Just now there is an order from the main palace. The female officials in the palace are not prepared. I want to choose a lady. I like Xian Zhende's gentle temperament, handsome appearance and elegant appearance. I want to tell the emperor and accept it in the harem. I am specially ordered to cooperate. Do you know what brother wants?" Guozhen said: "Even though Empress Yu is generous and benevolent, Concubine Gao is rightly favored. When my daughter enters the palace, I'm afraid she may be abandoned in the end, which will delay her life. I don't think so." Master Jing said: "Don't you remember the words of divination? After entering the palace, if you give birth to a prince, you will be rich and honored." She looked back at Xianzhen and said, "What is your wish?"

"Xianzhen said: "As a woman, I wish I could shine in the family.If there is a miracle in the palace, you can also honor your parents. This is the daughter's wish. "Guozhen saw that her daughter Xian was really willing, so she couldn't refuse."

Master Jing returned to the palace.The next day, an angel came to announce the appointment, and Guozhen had no choice but to send Xianzhen into the palace.The emperor saw that although Xianzhen was not as beautiful as Concubine Gao, and her appearance was also out of gregarious, he appointed her as Chonghua.When I saw her later, I liked her more and more, so I allocated twelve maids and gave her to live in Zihua Palace.In her heart, Chonghua thought that the Holy Majesty would miss her, but she underestimated the Holy Majesty.Because Concubine Gao was favored, the emperor didn't care about her.During the several months that Xianzhen was in the palace, he didn't see the Holy One. "Yu Hou later said unhappily: "If the emperor is not interested in this woman, it is my fault.

"One day, Chonghua came to visit Yuhou, and Yuhou knew that Xianzhen was here, so he ordered her to say: "The emperor will definitely come here today, and I invite the Holy Majesty to come to your palace with you.Go back quickly and prepare a banquet. "Chonghua took the order. Soon, the emperor and the queen came, and Chonghua took over. The emperor sat next to him, and then said to Chonghua: "Today, you must not be the master. "

Chonghua hosted a banquet, and the emperor and empress sat on the table and drank with them in person.The reason is that the emperor is very happy to fill his heart with blessings.Yu later said: "I heard that you are good at playing the flute, so try to play a song to help the wine." Chonghua accepted his order, so he took out the flute and gave it to the saint and queen.Sure enough, the voice is tactful, and the lingering sound lingers.The emperor was very happy in his heart, and delayed until late. At night, the emperor fell asleep unknowingly. "

Yu Hou ordered the maid to help the emperor to sleep, and said to Chonghua: "You must serve the emperor carefully tonight. Don't be careless. Chonghua said: Yes, empress." "After I finished speaking, I got up and left. Tonight, Chonghua Serving the emperor enthusiastically. It was not until the next day that the emperor knew that she was in the Chonghua Palace. The emperor recalled what happened yesterday and said with a smile: "Yu is really a virtuous wife in the world.

From now on, Chonghua often received the favor of the emperor.After Liugong heard about it, they all praised Yu Houxian and hoped that she would give birth to a prince soon.Soon, Queen Yu came pregnant, and a few months later, Queen Yu gave birth to a son.The emperor was very happy.The officials entered the palace to congratulate.An imperial edict was issued to exempt grain taxes and pardon all minor and serious criminals.Because of the conspiracy and rebellion, the descendants were also released.So Yuan Xi's son Yuan Yi and others were released. "

The king of Pengcheng thought he was pitiful and lonely, so he adopted him at home.In the seventeenth year of Yuan Yi's year, he suffered a family change. He cried and told Pengcheng, "Father passed away five years ago and was still buried in shallow soil. I hope my uncle will take pity on my father. If I can tell the emperor, I will allow my father to be reburied. Regretful." King Pengcheng thought of his filial piety, brought Yuan Yi to the court, and begged for the emperor's kindness by reburying him in Xianyang.

The emperor was furious and said: "It is my lenient code that the son of a rebellious minister is pardoned, and I will not allow it! The emperor deeply blamed Pengcheng. Yuan Yi returned and learned that the emperor's anger had not subsided, and he was afraid of future troubles, so he and Yuan Chang , Yuan Ye took the opportunity to defect to the south, Emperor Wu of Liang accepted it, and granted him the same position as his father. The border officials reported it, Gao Zhao heard about it, and entered the palace and said to the emperor: "Yuan Yi's betrayal, King Pengcheng is indulgent.So the emperor hated Pengcheng.Because the queen gave birth to a son, Gao Zhao (zhao) became more and more favored by the emperor; Concubine Gao did not have a son, fearing that the queen would be favored forever, secretly sent someone to tell Concubine Gao of the plan, and asked her to find ways to get rid of the stepmother and son.

One day, it happened to be Queen Yu's birthday, and all the concubines went to the court to congratulate and give a banquet to Queen Yu.The emperor and empress sat at the top table, and the rest of the concubines sat in rows.At the end of the banquet, Concubine Gao played the emperor's song and said: I am grateful for your kindness.Tomorrow, my concubine will prepare a jug of wine, and I would like to invite Your Majesty and Empress to come to Yingxian Palace and have a day of joy. I hope Your Majesty will accept it.The emperor said to the empress: Don't disappoint Concubine Gao's sincerity, let's go together tomorrow, okay?Empress Yu said: "The emperor actually said that the concubines should go."The emperor said: "Okay, that's great." Concubine Gao said, "Thank you, Queen."

The next day, the emperor and the empress came to the concubine Gao's residence to have a feast together.After returning to the palace after the banquet, Empress Yu felt very uncomfortable and depressed.Three days later, Empress Yu cried to the emperor, "I've been in pain recently, and I'm worried that I won't be able to treat it. I'm afraid I will bid farewell to Your Majesty forever. I hope that Your Majesty will raise the prince so that he can grow up in peace. In this way, even if the concubine dies, I will thank the Emperor." Great kindness and great virtue." After finishing speaking, he died later at the age of 19.The emperor was very sad, and all the palaces cried.Everyone suspected that Concubine Gao had killed Empress Yu, but they dared not speak out.

Concubine Gao Guifei was killed by the empress, and hearing the people in the palace talking about it, she thought that if the prince knew that he had killed her, he would definitely hate the Gao family and cause a lot of trouble.Concubine Gao knew that the prince had a small problem, so she secretly planned with Gao Zhao, bribed the imperial doctor Wang Xian, and prescribed medicine to kill the prince, and the prince died.Everyone knows that Gao did it, but the key is that the emperor didn't study it.Concubine Gao was favored by the emperor, and Gao Zhao was in power, so even Yu Lie and his son did not dare to confront him.

Gao Zhao hated the clan kings, and every time he tried to alienate the emperor in every possible way.Beihai Wang Yuanxiang is dissolute, but he has no major faults.Because he was at odds with Gao Zhao, Gao Zhao slandered him in front of the emperor, saying that he formed a party with the intention of rebellion.The emperor believed him, handed it over to Dali Temple, and deposed him as a commoner.Gao Zhao secretly sent someone to kill him.

Jingzhao Wang Yuanyu, the third son of Emperor Xiaowen, the emperor's younger brother, was impatient, refused to love literature, invited celebrities, and the government and the public praised him.He was also jealous of Gao Zhao, and slandered the emperor, saying: "Yuan Yu was very happy to see your Majesty lose a child recently, and he should be granted the throne in order. Recently, he has distributed a lot of property and recruited feathers. I'm afraid this is not a blessing for the country.

Gao Zhao said again: "Because of Yao Ji's affairs, he often resented the imperial court. First, Yuan Yu's concubine Yu Shi, then Yu Queen's younger sister. Yuan Yu is the governor of Xuzhou, a daughter of Na Yang's family, named Yao Ji, beautiful in appearance, singing and dancing Jue Lun, favored and special room, and gradually became a concubine. She complained, went back to the court to appeal to the queen, and said that Yao Ji had a son, and would definitely seize the heir in the future. After hearing this, she was very angry, and immediately called Yao Ji into the palace. See, blame her for the crime of contemptuous of the mistress, relying on favor and trust, and ordering her son to be raised by Concubine Yuzheng, but Yaoji was unwilling. Later, she was angry. The emperor also blamed Yuan Yu many times because of Yuhou. I am deeply resentful."

After Gao Zhao finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help being suspicious, and immediately ordered arrest and investigation.Among the guests of the kings, only King Jingzhao had the most followers. The emperor got angry and killed his three favorites, and the rest were exiled to other counties.He called King Jingzhao into the inner court, beat him fifty court sticks, and became the governor of Jizhou. The princes on the left and right did not dare to rescue, only King Pengcheng cried and advised, "Yuan Yu is still young, so he can be educated by staying in Beijing."If he is demoted as a magistrate, it will be slanderous.Once a treacherous person creates a crime, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to preserve the brotherly love. "

The emperor said: "The king has no relatives. I don't care about this matter. I have something to suggest to my uncle." So he ordered all the officials to retreat, leaving only the kings to sit.The emperor said: "My empress has passed away, and the position in the middle palace has been vacant for a long time. Now I want to make Concubine Gao the empress, do the kings think it is feasible?"

Peng Cheng advised: "It is not a blessing for the country to be a private family. Uncle Gao Zhao is the emperor's uncle and married the princess as a son-in-law. He is extremely honorable. But his mind is too bad, and he has deceived the majesty many times. If his sister is appointed The empress is tantamount to adding another relative to the Gao family. Over time, he will become arrogant and easily complacent. At that time, it will definitely be detrimental to the country. I hope that His Majesty will choose another famous family to take the position of Zhengkun.

The emperor's face suddenly changed, and he said to the kings: You really don't want me to make a concubine Gao your queen.The kings said in their hearts: If it is established, the country will perish. Your Majesty, didn't that country be destroyed by traitors? You don't care that Gao Zhao slaughtered talents and harmed the country. "The emperor said: Uncle, what are you thinking."King Chu said: Your Majesty, I advise you to think twice.I hope the Holy Majesty will choose another person for her.Don't set up a high concubine as the queen.The emperor said: All right, I will consider it.You back off!King Pengcheng said, "I'm leaving." "The emperor had privately agreed to make Concubine Gao the empress, so he didn't listen to Pengcheng's words at all." In the fifth year of Zhengshi, on July Jiawu Day, the emperor came to the court in person, issued an edict to the world, and concubine Gao was canonized as empress.The ministers came up to congratulate.Gao Zhao wanted to dissuade him because he saw Pengcheng.More resentful. "

Besides, Jingzhao Wang Yuanyu thought he was innocent but was demoted, and he harbored resentment.I also heard that Gao Zhao had repeatedly slandered and alienated flesh and blood in front of the emperor, and couldn't bear it, so he occupied Jizhou to rebel.Falsely claiming to have obtained a secret letter from King Qinghe. "It is said that Gao Zhao killed the king and rebelled, the emperor has died, and there is no master in the world.To the south of the altar and Xindu, he became the emperor and changed his name to Yanping.Lead an army to attack the palace to defeat the regicide thief.Chang Shi Yang Ling and Fa Cao joined the army Cui Boji disobeyed and killed them.Neighboring counties heard that he had rebelled, and flew to the capital to report.

The emperor was very surprised when he heard about it, and said to Gao Zhao: "Your words are true, he really rebelled." So he ordered Li Ping, the governor, to send troops to crusade.First, King Pengcheng once recommended his uncle Pan Senggu as the prefect of Changle County.The county belongs to Jizhou.Yuan Yu rebelled and forced him to join the army. "

Gao Zhao wanted to take this opportunity to convict King Pengcheng, so he went up and said: "Yuanyu's rebellion, King Pengcheng knew about it. Now his uncle Pan Senggu is in Yuanyu's army to advise. Pengcheng will be the internal response, and he must be killed first. , so as to prevent future troubles." The emperor didn't believe it right away, and said to Gao Zhao: "Uncle Pengcheng, even the late emperor praised his loyalty, and I don't believe that he will rebel.

Seeing that the emperor did not believe that King Pengcheng would rebel, Gao Zhao secretly thought: If you want to kill King Pengcheng, you must get his personal report first. If you get it, the emperor might not suspect it.So he secretly lured his subordinate Zhonglang to lead Wei Yanxiang and Fanghe General Gao Zuzhen into the secret room, and said to them: "Do you know that your King Pengcheng rebelled?" The two replied: What, rebellion. Gao Zhao said: "Pengcheng King and Yuan Yu colluded and asked his uncle Pan Senggu to help him plot rebellion, the emperor already knew about it."

The two said: "My king has always been loyal to the country. There must be no such thing." Gao Zhao said: "There is no difference between your crime and treason. If you want to die before my eyes, you can help King Pengcheng!" The two were very scared. Kneeling on the ground begging for pardon. "

Seeing the two kneeling down and begging for mercy, Gao Zhao said happily, "If you want to save your life, you need to write a memorial and submit it to the Holy Majesty, saying that Pengcheng conspired against him. In this way, you will not only be spared the death penalty, but will also be rewarded.

"The two listened to him out of fear. The next day, Gao Zhao came to Zhongshu Province, and the two handed over the memorial to Gao Zhao. After reading the memorial, Gao Zhao was really happy, so he submitted the memorial to him. Your Majesty, said: "Pengcheng is good at uniting people, not comparable to King Xianyang.Now the situation of rebellion is obvious, if he is not eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid he will do extreme things.This is also what King Pengcheng wanted to kill Guan Shu and Cai Shu in the past. "Although the emperor read the memorial, he still hesitated to believe it. Gao Zhao said again: "If your majesty does not have the heart to publicly kill him, he will be summoned into the palace on the grounds of giving a banquet, and killed on the grounds of treason.The emperor said: All right!So they ordered a banquet to be held in the Qilin Hall, and the younger brother of King Pengcheng was invited to attend the banquet. "

On this day, Li Shi, the concubine of Pengcheng Wang, was in labor, and an angel came to call her, but she refused to go.The emperor refused to agree, and United sent more than 20 angels on the road.King Pengcheng doubted in his heart: Could it be that the emperor's heart has changed, which will be detrimental to me? "Li Shi, the wife of King Pengcheng, said: "The emperor's order is hard to say.It seems that this crime is more than auspicious, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to meet again in this life.

All the tears left behind. "

The lady said: "Because the king prevented the emperor from setting up concubine Gao as the queen, and offended Gao Zhao, the concubine was always afraid. If the king goes today, he will be killed by the traitor. What will the concubine do then?

King Pengcheng was worried, when suddenly someone came to report that the angel had arrived again, and Pengcheng left the mansion.Just as he was about to board the car, the emissary reported that his wife had given birth to a son and asked him to see it.Pengcheng repeatedly entered the room, carefully looked at the newborn child, with a good appearance, and sighed: "Although the child is good, I might not have the opportunity to see him grow up."

King Pengcheng wrote the word "Ziyou" with a pen and named it.Yuan Ziyou is Emperor Wei Xiaozhuang.See you later in the pilgrimage.The emperor asked: "Why did uncle come so late?" Peng Cheng said: "The minister's wife gave birth to a child, and I hope the emperor will make amends."

The emperor did not speak, but ordered the kings to sit at the table, saying: "Today we should drink freely, in order to meet my wishes." Everyone drank according to the will.At night, all the kings were drunk.It is already the second watch time when the music is played and the lights and candles are shining brightly.The banquet was messed up, the music disappeared, and Du Shane resigned.The emperor issued an edict that all the kings were not allowed to return to their residences, so they fell asleep in the palace.The kings did not dare to disobey the holy order, but had to obey.The emperor got up and drove back to the palace.Two attendants took Pengcheng to a certain room, where the bed, quilt and pillows were all complete.Although King Pengcheng drank, he was still not drunk, and sat leaning against the bed.After a long time, a servant reported: "It's already two drums, you should go to bed."

Peng Chengkuan went to go to his robes and was about to sleep when he suddenly saw the left guard Yuan Zhen leading dozens of warriors with sharp knives in their hands and medicinal wine.Peng Cheng couldn't help but turn pale with shock, busy asking what's the matter.Yuan Zhen said, "I give you death." Peng Cheng said, "What's my crime?"

Yuan Zhen said: "The emperor already knew that King Pengcheng sent Pan Senggu to conspire with Yuan Yu and conspire against him. Wei Yanyan and Gao Zuzhen reported first, so he gave the king death." The Holy Majesty confronts him, even if he dies, there is no resentment."

Yuanzhen said: "Your Majesty, I can't say that I will see you." Pengcheng sighed and said, "This is not the wish of the Holy One. It must be the thief officer Gao Zhao." Seeing his hesitation, the warrior wanted to force him to drink poisoned wine immediately.But after thinking about it, the poisoned wine couldn't kill him immediately, so the samurai took a knife and killed King Pengcheng swiftly.He was 33 years old. "The next day the Holy Majesty announced the decree, saying: Peng Cheng drank too much last night and died in the palace. The body was put on a stretcher and sent back to the mansion. All the ministers of the court shed tears for him."

Princess Li of Pengcheng caressed the corpse and cried bitterly: "Old thief Gao Zhao, did you kill me, the virtuous king?" The people outside the palace sighed when they saw it.The emperor knew that people were grieving, so in order to cover up that he did not kill his uncle, he ordered all the officials to attend the funeral in person, offering grand sacrifices and presenting him with the nickname Wuxuan.The eldest son succeeded to the throne as the king of Pengcheng, and named Li as the concubine of Pengcheng, so that the people of the world would know that he was not a foolish king. "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
