Heroes of Northern History

It is said that Yu Wentai retreated to the left and right, invited Wang Sizheng into the secret room, and asked him why he came.Wang Sizheng said: "I am here today for the sake of the country."

Yu Wentai said: "Since the king of Bohai became the country, the rebellion has been quelled, and the world is in peace. What else does the country need to do?"

Wang Sizheng said: "What kind of person does Zuo Cheng think the King of Bohai is?" "

Wang Sizheng said: "I also thought that he would do the same. Who knew that Erzhu would be born after Erzhu was eliminated. Now Gao Huan is in Bingzhou, and he is in charge of the court from a distance. The country is becoming more and more dangerous. Recently, Gao Huan married Empress Xiaozhuang as his concubine. How could he keep his courtiers forever? Send me here to make a close covenant, to give the Great Wall a solid reliance in the future, so I dare to speak the truth."

"Yu Wentai said: "Everyone knows Gao Huan's heart, and my marshal is willing to rebel with them.It's just that it's hard to resist with the power, so it's just a friendly relationship on the surface.Please follow me to discuss it with He Ba. "

Wang Sizheng was very happy, so he came to see He Bayue with Yu Wentai.

Knowing that Wang Sizheng is here, He Bayue invites in immediately and greets him from the lower level.After sitting down and talking about the cold and warm, Wang Sizheng told He Bayue by telling Yuwentai, and issued the emperor's secret edict to discuss it.

He Bayue saluted and accepted it, so he said: "The country will be in danger, and it is the day when the ministers will be loyal, let alone the emperor's order?"

He Bayue complied and did not dare to disobey. "Stay in the back hall and hold a banquet. After the banquet, Wang Sizheng didn't dare to stay for too long, so he got up and left."

He Bayue said: "Go back and report to the emperor. If there is any change in Gao Huan, He Bayue will definitely repay it with death. If you have any knowledge, you should let Zuocheng Yuwen go to the capital to make a statement face to face."

Wang Sizheng had already made a knot in Kansai, and rushed back to the capital overnight to learn about Emperor Xiaowu. "

"Emperor Xiaowu said: "It seems that He Bayue has no other intentions.I'm just afraid that Gao Huan will be difficult to control after all, what should I do? "

Hu Sichun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I still have a plan, which is enough to get rid of Gao Huan. "

The emperor asked: "What's the plan?" Hu Sichun told the emperor privately: "There are Songshan Taoist priests Huang Pingxin and Pan Youzhang who practice the method of talisman nightmare, and have close contacts with my ministers. I have tried it and the method is effective. It is said that it can capture the soul of people. If you use the technique of burying and pressing the corpse, the person will die. As long as you are born with fleshy clothes, the method will not be ineffective. The minister wants to harm Huan, and he has been entrusted with it. Gao Huan's date has already passed. , the only thing missing is the meat-covered clothes. Another sorcerer, Li Xuwu, said that he could go to Bingzhou to steal it. All the officials stayed at home, and as soon as the magic objects were prepared, they could do it. You can sit still and kill them.” The emperor Said: "If this method is effective, it is several times better than using troops. You are good at it. Don't make people laugh when you fail to do things." Hu Sichun was ordered to retreat.

Moreover, after Gao Gan formed an alliance with the emperor, he never knew that the emperor had other intentions. Later, when he saw the emperor adding a series, he was very skeptical, and privately said to those close to him: "The emperor does not kiss the virtuous, but recruits a group of villains. , sent close ministers to and from Kansai many times, and discussed with He Bayue. He also sent He Basheng as the governor of Jizhou. On the surface, he was alienated and suspicious, but in fact he wanted to cultivate party members. Disasters will happen, and they will reach me.” So the secret revealed Gao Huan.First, Feng Longzhi and Sun Teng both wrote letters to King Gao, saying that the imperial court let the bad guys secretly recruit assassins and sneak into Jinyang to kill you, so be careful.

Gao Huan was furious and said: "Even if your emperor suspects me, what can you do to me? Only assassins need to be on guard." On this day, he lived in the inner room with Empress Erzhu, and everyone standing beside him She is a woman, and foreign officials and non-confidants cannot often see her.Every three or five days, daily affairs are managed, and there are urgent documents in various places, which are passed by maids.There is a banquet for ten days, and the officials do not leave the mansion. There are eighteen gates from the main hall to the dormitory, and two guards are set up at each gate to check in and out.All the gates of his hall are guarded by women, and no one dares to act indiscriminately.In the past, the banquet would not be separated until the second watch, and it would be the end of the banquet when it sank to the west the day after tomorrow.Empress Xiaozhuang is the dearest one, and only Empress Xiaozhuang knows about the assassins, and the rest do not know.As a result, it was Gan Qi again, who became even more angry, so he called Gao Gan to Bingzhou to discuss current affairs face to face.When Gao Gan saw King Gao, he stated all the actions of the court, and there must be changes soon, so he persuaded the king to ascend the throne to eliminate his disaster.

King Gao hurriedly covered his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Don't lie. I will take Sikong as the servant again, and all the affairs under the door will be entrusted with each other. middle.He also said to Gao Gan, "Tomorrow is the Flower Festival. You should have a banquet with Sikong in Beicheng Mansion." He ordered all the officials to gather in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to wait.Gao Gan paid his respects.

The next day, Sima Ziru came to see him, so he went to Beifu with Ziru.On the second trip, I saw a disheveled Taoist man holding a round fan, on which it was written that he could look at his complexion and predict good and bad.When King Gao came, he didn't retreat at all.The soldiers caught him and sent them to the horse. The Taoist kowtowed and said, "I don't know the king's arrival. I committed a crime of tiger's power by mistake. I beg for forgiveness."

Gao Wang ordered to let it go, the Taoist stood up and only looked at Gao Wang carefully.As soon as they arrived in Beifu, all the officials greeted them in shifts.Gao Wang entered the West Garden, and the banquet had been arranged.Gao Wang sat on the south side, and Gao Gan and Baiguan sat down in turn.Sheng and songs were played repeatedly, and actresses and prostitutes drank wine one after another.At this time, Concubine Lou was drinking and admiring the flowers with all the wives at the Baijiao Pavilion in Jingchun Garden. Hearing the loud music, she asked the maid, "Where is the music played?"

The palace man reported: "Your Majesty is entertaining guests in the West Garden." Concubine Lou thought to herself: "King Gao will not see you in January. After the banquet, he will naturally enter the palace." Then he and the others returned to the cabinet.Unexpectedly, Gao Wang was only in the West Mansion, and when he reported the news at the front of the steps, he immediately got up and said to Gao Gan: "Sikong turned to the court early, and now he will return to serve as a servant, and pay attention to everything. I will see you off the next day."

Gao Gan expressed his gratitude, and Wang left immediately.Concubine Lou was not happy to hear that.Ziru sent Gao Wang back to his mansion, and on the way, he saw a monk with a shaggy head standing by the street, watching Gao Wang.Ziru was suspicious, so he ordered his entourage to lead the Taoist back to the mansion, and asked him why he rushed twice.The man said: "I am proficient in physiognomy, and now I am watching His Majesty's complexion. The Lord is suffering from an emergency illness tonight. I want to find a cure for Your Excellency, so I peeked from the side."

"Sima Ziru said: "Don't talk nonsense, if your words are not true, you will be punished severely. "

He ordered the left and right to lock him in the study and not let him go.

First of all, when King Gao returned to the West Mansion, it was already evening, and he and Empress Erzhu had a feast and drink at the Spring Breeze Pavilion.Nearly the second watch, the moon is as bright as day, and I want to take a leisurely walk down the stairs.He flicked the gold cup on the ground and picked it up personally.

Suddenly, a gust of black air rose from the ground and rushed straight to the king's face. He couldn't dodge it, and felt as cold as ice.When Empress Erzhu came to see King Gao's expression was different, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"Order to drink again, drank a few glasses in a row, became unhappy, and returned to the dormitory together with the queen's hand.After sitting down, he bowed his head and vomited heavily, and then fell asleep on the bed, with the queen sitting beside the bed.

At three o'clock, he cried out for pain, and the queen asked him what was wrong, and he said to the queen, "My sun is like an axe, and the pain is unbearable." Before he finished speaking, someone said, "My right rib, left leg and knee are also very painful. Do not you know why."

The queen immediately ordered the maid to hold a candle and see it for herself.Gao Wang's body is plain white, and at that time all three places are blue.The queen said in surprise: "It hurts at the first moment and then turns blue. The symptoms are very strange. You should call a doctor to see it."

Gao Wang said: "Wait for dawn." "The queen said: "Has the king ever had this kind of disease in the past? " Wang Ren said painfully: "I have been sick since I was a child, and I eat very little, so I can't work hard.When he was ten years old, he could drink alcohol, relying on Wei's sister to take care of him, so that he would not get too drunk and get hurt. No disease since the age of 20, but the body is still thin and not thick in the [-]s.Although in a high position, the spirit is not perfect.As soon as he arrived in Jinyang, his muscles were plump and vigorous, and his body became stronger day by day. Although there were many things to deal with, he never got tired all night long.In the past five or six years, there has been no disease at all, so I dare to indulge in wine and sex, and amuse myself sooner or later.There used to be a night-time medical officer, but I ordered him to leave because he had no illness.If I go out to find the doctor in the middle of the night, people will be surprised, so I have to wait until dawn before calling. "

Empress Erzhu saw that King Gao was frowning, as if he was in great pain, she was panicked and anxious, wishing for the sky to dawn soon.As soon as the five drums arrived, he was busy and ordered to go out of the palace and call for two doctors and officials.The doctor looked into the eyes, checked the pulse, and then looked at the pain, but there was no cure.Going out to prepare a prescription, whispered to the waiter: "According to the king's veins, there is no other serious disease. I don't know the cause of the three strange pains. I am afraid that I will encounter monsters and ghosts, which will cause this disaster. As the concubine, ask the king. , and then discuss how to treat it.”

The servant said: "Drinking in the back garden last night, all the maids agreed, and I vomited when I went back. I asked the maid to find out. The concubine didn't dare to report it before." Officer, why do you think Gao Wang is sick?Daoist Yuan is Li Xuwu, who wants to know the image of Gao Wang, so he observes carefully twice, and he can't avoid the street, and the quilt is like being locked in a study.At the second drum, everyone was asleep, so they got up quietly, lit the lamps and incense, recited the secret mantra, painted the yellow silk as the image of the high king, and used three acupuncture needles, the sun, the right rib, and the knee of the left leg. After praying, hide in the shoes and sit with concentration.If you do this method here, Gao Wang's three places will ache.Where did the doctor know that even if he tried one side, the pain would not stop after taking it.

But Sima Ziru got up early and went to the west mansion, first to thank the wine, and second to test the truth of the Taoist's words.At that time, all the officials were afraid to gather, and suddenly a servant sent out an order. The king was drunk last night and could not work.Ziru was suspicious, so he stayed inside and asked the gatekeeper, "What's going on with King Gao?"

The door envoy said: "At five o'clock, the medical officer came in to see the king, but he didn't know what was wrong. The doctor said: "The king's pulse condition is not serious, but the sun, flanks, and knees are bruised and painful. It is suspected to be caused by evil spirits. invade.It can only be rescued by a warlock, but it may not be effective for medicine and stones. '"

After hearing this, Ziru thought to himself that what the Taoist said was true, so he ordered his servant to come and see him.Gao Wang called him in until he was in bed. Seeing that Gao Wang was in pain, he asked the day: "Where did Gao Wang's disease come from?"

Ziru said: "Yesterday, when I sent King Gao back to the mansion, I saw the shaggy-headed Taoist visiting the king many times. I took him home and asked him. According to Yun Guan, the king's complexion fell ill in the middle of the night. I suspected his lies, so he was forbidden in the room. Today It is said that black air is invading each other, or there are evil spirits, why don't you call them to deal with them?" King Gao nodded, and Ziru went out to call him.After a while, the Taoist arrived and entered the inner palace together.Gao Wang tried to sit up.When the Taoist sees Gao Wang and worships again, please look at the sore spot.

King Gao said it, and the Taoist said: "There is no other reason, it is caused by the poison of ghosts. Please use the magic needle to needle the affected area." King Gao refused, saying: "I can't bear the pain yet, let alone add it to the pain." Acupuncture? And the sun, flanks, knees, etc. These are not suitable places for acupuncture. You can treat it with other methods.”

The Taoist said: "Although there is a method, it can only relieve the pain temporarily, but the disease cannot be cured." King Gao ordered to try it. Let him stay in the cabinet.Ziru resigned.That night the Taoist lived alone in the attic, and after midnight, he practiced evil again.Gao Huan was in pain and outburst, twice as much as before.Empress Erzhu was taken aback, and asked her servants in the order, and the Taoist said: "This is because the king did not allow the needle to be used, so it was issued again."

Later, he ordered the servant to ask: "Is there a way to save it besides using needles?" The Taoist replied: "King Gao will definitely not use needles. There is another way, but it must be done tomorrow night." The servant asked: "What method?" The Taoist said: "You need to get a few pieces of the king's personal clothes, and check a remote place in the southeast. If the poor Taoist formulates a prescription, the ghost poison will be cured, and the king will be at peace."

After the internal servant entered the statement.Later, Erzhu saw that King Gao closed his eyes to endure the pain and refused to tell, so he called the maid to change some of King Gao's underwear, put them in a box, and gave them to the servants.Then he ordered to go with the Taoist the next day, pick up a secluded place, practice the law inside, and not let it go.The servant received the order and handed over the clothes to the Taoist. The Taoist was very happy.

The next day, he said to the servant: "My hotel is in the southeast, and I will go with you."On this day, Ziru came to the mansion to greet him, knowing that the disease had relapsed, he was very worried.Empress Erzhu was always restless.The Taoist made an excuse at night to practice the law, saying: "People outside should not spy." He ordered the servant to stay outside and close the door to be alone.In the middle of the night, I hid Gao Wang's clothes, took a few pieces of torn clothes and put them in the box, and sealed the box with a few inscriptions.So three needles were removed from the image painted by Gao Wang, and the image was taken and burned.

At dawn, go out and say to the servant, "my law has been applied, and the king is at ease." Go to the mansion with the servant and return the clothes.Sure enough, King Gao recovered from his illness at midnight, and the pain disaster was completely abolished. He got up and said to Empress Erzhu, "This disease comes and goes quickly, which is very strange."

Empress Erzhu told Gao Wang about the rescue by Taoist method, and Gao Wang said: "If it is effective, the contribution of Taoist is not small. I will go out to deal with government affairs today, so as to solve the confusion inside and outside." Just after washing and cleaning, the servant came in with the box, The speaker warned that this box should not be opened easily, otherwise the disease will recur.King Gao ordered him to hide it cautiously, so he asked, "Where is the Taoist?"

The servant said, "Outside." Gao Wang ordered the Taoist to be rewarded and sent to live in Qingxiao Palace.Qingxiao Palace is the number one Taoist temple in Jinyang.The Taoist declined and said: "I came here to relieve the king's suffering, not for reward. My business is over, so I crossed the river." The servant couldn't hold back, and went to report to King Gao. King Gao knew that and valued him even more up.

At that time, Time Shao came back from the capital and went to the mansion to see him.Gao Wang ordered to call in and inquire about the court carefully.Duan Shao said: "The emperor took Hu Sichun as his confidant, went out to congratulate Basheng as Jizhou, and sent Wang Sizheng to Guanxi. It is all because of the king. He has deep plans and secrets, and he can't fully know. Because of the long-term emptiness of the minister, he went up Watch back."

Gao Wang sighed and said: "I have not failed the emperor, but the emperor owes me. The ancients said: 'If the merit is high, the master will be in danger'. I didn't expect the emperor to deal with me now." He said to Duan Shao: "You are here If you get a job here, you don’t have to go to the capital anymore.”

Duan Shao accepted the order and retreated.The next day, I received the documents from Sizhou, and reported that A Zhiluo led [-] troops to attack Sizhou, and they were broken, and asked to send troops to rescue.All the generals said that they should be rescued. "

Gao Wang said: "The court has a good plan, so I don't need to go to fight it?" Not a single soldier was sent.When he was hungry, the imperial court also issued an edict, urging King Gao to send troops, but King Gao deliberately delayed.Sima Ziru remonstrated: "Sizhou is connected to Jinyang, Sizhou is dangerous, and Jinyang will not be peaceful."

Gao Wang said: "Don't I know that if you hate the court in a crisis, you can use me, and if you are slow, you can avoid my ears. Although Zhiluo is strong, they must be timid when they hear our army. Qu Ye." So he sent a letter to Luo, urging him to surrender.Zhi Luo personally received the envoy and said: "King Gao has orders, I dare not resist." It is not necessary to lead the troops back to the old environment.

Let's say that Li Xuwu has returned to Luoyang and filed a lawsuit against him for defrauding him of clothes.Hu Sichun, Youzhang, and Pingxin were all very happy. They entered the secret room together and calculated their fate. Gao Wangzheng was 38 years old.Ping Xin said: "Gao Huan has no big regrets this year. In March, when the spring is over, the Lord has small regrets, which can help my technique. After this, all auspicious stars are dying, and they cannot be copied." So he tied a grass figure, put on his clothes, and painted A human form, pressed on the grass man, buried in the ground together.The practice of writing talisman in the day and night, attracts its soul, and warns each other: "Don't move around, and it will kill itself at three quarters on the fifteenth day of the third month. This is the technique of laying down the corpse, and Gao Huan will never be able to bear it." Exactly: Qingtian There is no way to escape death, and the heroes of the world will rest immediately.I don't know Gao Wang's life, let's listen to the details in the next chapter.
