Seeing Liu Dan's crazy appearance, Du Ping was speechless, just drinking silently, thinking about how to get out of danger.

Liu Dan saw that the ministers were silent, and said loudly: "I got a letter from my sister and princess, saying that she wants to do something big, and there are only two people who are worried, namely the general Huo Guang and the right general Wang Mang, now the right general is dead, and the prime minister is sick, it seems that this matter will be done, and soon a messenger will come to call me, everyone drink to your heart's content, and remember to go back and pack your bags after drinking." ”

These days, Liu Danru has fallen into a fairyland, and he is fluttering all day long, and when he sees people, he says that he is ready to enter Beijing, are you ready? Liu Dan was happy, who knew that many disasters and strange phenomena had occurred in the palace.

Early in the morning, it rained heavily, the rain stopped in the afternoon, and the sun was scorching violently, at this time everyone saw a long rainbow drooping in the palace, sucking well water, and in an instant, the well water entered the harem Yongxiang.

At this time, the unthinkable happened, only to see a group of pigs suddenly go berserk, break out of the pigsty, burst into the kitchen, go straight to the stove, and destroy the stove. Originally, there were six or seven pots on the stove, all of which were taken out by the pigs and placed in front of the temple.

Soon after, I saw a group of black magpies fighting on the pond in the palace, and the group of black magpies were defeated, and they fell into the pool and died. After a while, he saw a field of mice standing in the middle of the gate of the palace, whirling and dancing. The attendant hurriedly reported to Liu Dan, and Liu Dan came to see it in person, and when the rat saw so many people, he was not afraid, and he still danced endlessly.

Liu Dan, who has always been superstitious, suspected that there were ghosts and gods in his heart at this time, so he ordered his subordinates to arrange for a memorial service with wine and food, and invited witches to do it, but it was ineffective. The vole danced until one day and one night, when he fell to the ground and died.

Another day, the guards personally saw that the gate of the Yanwang Mansion suddenly closed by itself, so several guards tried their best to push the door open but could not open it. Just when the family felt strange, they suddenly reported that there was a fire in the city for no reason, and everyone gathered when they heard the news, commanded the guards and coolies, and worked together to put out the fire, but the fire was too great and the city gate was burned down.

The next day, there was a strong gust of wind, which swept the ground, and blew the heavens and the earth dark, but the ears heard the whirring sound, like a thousand troops, and the trees were broken in all the places they passed, or they were uprooted, and all the towers of the upper castle of the palace were blown down.

In the evening, another meteor fell from the sky, and the sound boom was far and near.

All kinds of strange phenomena emerge in endlessly, which makes everyone in the Yanwang Mansion frightened. Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was also frightened and sick, so he ordered someone to find a wizard to pray to the ghosts and gods.

Just as Liu Dan was panicking about these visions, Lu Guang, a doorman, said that he sometimes asked to see him. Liu Dan thought to himself, this Lu Guang was originally able to see the celestial phenomena, so he recruited him as a guest, and now that he came to see me, he must have seen something, so he quickly passed him in.

Lu Guang is good at observing astronomy, he went in to see Liu Dan, and immediately said: "King Yan, I watch the sky at night, the White Tiger Constellation has been bright and the Qinglong Constellation has been dim, and the purple microstar has been moving. ”

When Liu Dan heard this, he became more and more worried, and said to Lu Guang: "If you can't do anything, the demons will appear repeatedly, and the morale of the soldiers is coming, how can you do it?" Liu Dan was quite remorseful at this time, but he had become a tiger, so he had to listen to it.

Sure enough, soon an urgent report came in Chang'an, saying that the conspiracy was exposed, the Shangguan Jie clan and the Sang Hongyang clan were all exterminated, the eldest princess committed suicide, Ding Wairen was also exterminated, Ding Wenxin was also killed, and all those who participated in the conspiracy were killed, including Sun Zongzhi, the messenger sent by Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was also killed.

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Liu Dan.

Liu Dan hurriedly consulted with the ministers, and when he saw Du Ping, Liu Dan's mood at this time was mixed, and he regretted that he didn't listen to his advice at the beginning, so he smiled and stabilized: "Prime Minister, our conspiracy has been revealed, instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to start now." ”

Du Ping shook his head and said: "General Zuo is dead, and the people know about it. ”

Liu Dan listened, but felt that there was no hope, the matter had come to this point, so he had to admit it, thinking, anyway, the death period is coming, instead of a sad face, it is better to be happy first, anyway, you can't be happy in the future, so he ordered a banquet to set up a banquet in the palace, and the guests and concubines of the harem sat down to drink.

The banquet should have been a very happy time, in the past, when King Yan was drinking, it was singing and dancing, lively and extraordinary, a scene of singing and dancing, but today, everyone was depressed and sad.

When Liu Dan saw this scene, his heart became more and more sad, so he raised the wine jug high, raised his head and drank it all when the jug was full. After drinking, he stood up, walked to the middle, and said loudly: "Today's drinking, there was no sound just now, then I will sing a song, everyone listen." ”

After speaking, he was dressed and sang loudly with a solemn expression: Return to the empty city, the dog does not bark, and the chicken does not whine; He Guangxi, who knows that there is no one in the country.

Liu Dan finished singing, and he was already in tears, and at this time, Mrs. Huarong, the favorite Ji next to her, also left the table and danced with Liu Dan, singing in her mouth: The hair fills the ditch one after another, and the bones are dying; The mother begs for the death of the son, the wife begs for the death of the husband, wandering between the two canals, the gentleman will live in peace!

Mrs. Huarong's singing voice was even more miserable, and everyone in the audience couldn't help but cry when they heard it.

At this moment, it was suddenly reported that an amnesty had arrived in the imperial court, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard that it was an amnesty, and Liu Dan was even more ecstatic in his heart, thinking that he could escape again. When his subordinates passed the pardon order in, Liu Dan was suddenly disappointed after reading it, and sighed loudly and said: "It turns out that it is only to pardon the officials and people of Yan State, not to pardon me." ”

So Liu Dan stopped drinking and entered the inner room, and all the concubines would be gathered in the Mingguang Palace, at this time Liu Dan's expression was desolate, he explained a few words heavily, and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. At this time, his guards hurriedly stopped him, and Du Ping also stepped forward to persuade: "King Yan, the court has always been lenient, or if you cut the land and waste it as a common person, you won't die, why don't you be patient for a few days." ”

When the concubines of King Yan saw that Liu Dan was going to seek death, they all cried and cried, and came forward to stop them, but Liu Dan stopped committing suicide, thinking, I'll see how the court treats me.

A few days later, it was reported that the imperial edict had arrived in Yan Kingdom, and Liu Dan knew that the verdict ruling him had come, and it was already clear whether he was alive or dead.

After receiving the edict, it turned out to read:

In the past, Gaozu was the king of the world, and established his children to form a feudal society. The previous day Zhulu conspiracy was rebellious, Liu's endlessly, Lai Jianghou and others punished the thieves, respected filial piety, and took Anzong Temple, not to Chinese and foreign people, and the appearance and the inside corresponded? Fan Li Cao Guan carried the sword to push the front, from the high emperor to reclaim the disaster and eliminate the harm, hoe the sea, at this time, the head is like a puffy Bao, diligent to the end, but its reward can not be feuded. The descendants of the present clan have not had the labor of tyranny and revealing their crowns, and they have split the land and the king, and they have divided the wealth and given it. The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies. Now the king is close to each other, and the enemy and I are one. It is a different race from his surname, plotting to kill the community, kissing him, neglecting his relatives, having a rebellious heart, and having no loyalty and love. If the ancients knew it, how should they see the temple of the ancestors again?
