Chapter 274: Liu Yao quells the Jin Clan's rebellion

Previous Chapter

The rebellion between the two clans was quickly suppressed by Jin Zhun, and Liu Cong was overjoyed and canonized Liu Cang as the crown prince.

Binh Duong City has returned to its former calm, and the New Year has come again in a blink of an eye. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family did not give up, Chang'an and Luoyang City were broken, they moved south to Jiankang, and Sima Rui of the Sima family ascended the throne as the emperor, known as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history.

Sima Rui once crowned the king of Langya, participated in the crusade against Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and after Sima Chi, the emperor of Jin Huai, succeeded to the throne, he worshiped General Anton and supervised the military of Yangzhou. Later, he followed the advice, crossed to Jiankang in the south, and befriended the Jiangzuo Shi clan.

After the death of Emperor Jin Chou, under the support of the Jin Dynasty clan and the northern and southern clans, he was enthroned as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty and named Jianwu.

The resurgence of the Jin Dynasty made Liu Cong very annoyed, but what annoyed him even more was that Liu Cang, who was the crown prince, became more and more disagreeable, he and Jin Zhun got closer and closer, almost obedient to him, and began to indulge in pleasure, did not listen to advice, and even ignored him as a father.

Li Cong was anxious, and said to Liu Yao more than once: "If Jin Zhun is not removed, I will not be able to settle down."

But Liu Cang trusted Jin Zhun a lot, and the Jin family gave birth to Liu Can's eldest son, which made Liu Cang even more protective of the Jin family, as long as anyone in the court said bad things about the Jin family, he would unceremoniously reprimand the other party, so no one in the entire Han Dynasty dared to criticize the Jin family anymore.

Liu Cong's headaches became more and more frequent, he had no intention of taking care of the affairs of the court anymore, he could only let Liu Cang be presumptuous, he knew that he was afraid that time was short, and he could only call Liu Yao to his side, and told him to be optimistic about Liu Cang, and to make a move when it was time to make a move, and not to let this Han Dynasty be ruined in his hands.

At the end of the year, Liu Cong was already seriously ill, but he trusted Liu Yao, so he sincerely entrusted him and told Liu Cang that he must listen to his uncle.

After the New Year, Liu Cong's health deteriorated day by day, and he hit his head against the wall when he had a headache, and this torment lasted until July, when Liu Cong died.

Before his death, Liu Cong made an edict and made Liu Yao an auxiliary king and appointed to the post of prime minister. Ling Jin Zhun was the chief secretary, and the lieutenant of the division was subordinate to the school, and jointly assisted Liu Cang.

Liu Cang ascended the throne as emperor on the second day after Liu Cong's death, because Liu Cong's queen Jin died of illness earlier than Liu Cong, so according to the meaning of his wife and father-in-law, he respected his mother's youngest sister Jin as the empress dowager, set his wife Jin as the queen, and established Liu Yuangong, the son born to Jin, as the crown prince.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Jin was only in her early twenties, and Liu Cang liked her so much that she didn't let go of him, her "mother", causing many rumors to spread from the palace.

Liu Yao has not yet come out of the grief of losing his brother, so he has to face all the things that Liu Cang brought to make him angry, but he is angry and angry, but there is no way to persuade Liu Cang, Liu Cang used to respect his uncle, but in a short period of time, he was like a different person, and he was very unaccustomed to Liu Yao, he was in the way, he was nosy, and even began to beware of his high position and disobedience.

Liu Yao was angry, sick at home, with a beautiful wife and three lively and intelligent sons, he coveted the warmth of the family, and really didn't want to go to the court to experience those rights and wrongs.

"If you don't go up, I'm afraid something will happen." Yang Xianrong persuaded: "The first emperor entrusted it to you, you can't be greedy for a moment of comfort and forget about the big thing, once something happens, how can you explain to the first emperor?"

"You let me rest for a few more days, I've been really tired all these years, Cang'er is not sensible, and he should be taught some lessons, I chant in his ear all day long, and it also annoys him, not only will it not work well, I'm afraid it will backfire." Liu Yao smiled and hugged the sheep and said, "The first emperor has explained, and he let Jin Zhun show his original form, and at that time, I am afraid that Cang'er will really change."

"What if something happens?" Yang Xianrong was a little uneasy.

"I can't." Liu Yao was a little hesitant: "Liu Cang is Jin Zhun's son-in-law, he always has to think about his daughter."

"Heh," Yang Xianrong sneered: "This kind of person only has himself in his eyes, how can he think of his daughter?" She glanced at Liu Yao and reminded, "Have you forgotten my father?"

Yang Xianrong said it well, Jin Zhun is a person, and his ambition is so great that he doesn't recognize his six relatives, and he only has himself left in his eyes. He said to Liu Cang in private: "It seems that I heard that your ministers are preparing to act as the regent like Yi Yin of the Shang Dynasty and Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, kill me, and let the King of Jinan and the Great Sima Liu Ji lead Wanji, Your Majesty, please prepare as soon as possible."

Liu Cang finally had some brains, and he didn't believe it when he heard this, Jin Zhun was afraid that his words would not be adopted in the end, so he said to the queen mother and the queen that the princess wanted to abolish Liu Cang and support Liu Ji as the emperor, once Liu Ji ascended the throne, I am afraid, I am afraid that our Jin family will be destroyed.

The Jin family was horrified when they heard this, and they blew the wind in Liu Cang's ears every day, and finally Liu Cang killed Liu Jing, the king of Shangluo, Liu Ji, the king of Jinan, and Liu Mao, the king of Qi, as they wished.

After that, Liu Cang ordered Liu Yao to guard Chang'an, governor of internal and external military affairs, and ordered Jin Zhun to be the general and lead the book. He was addicted to wine and often entertained in the harem, so Jin Zhun pretended to be Liu Cang's edict and let his cousin Jin Ming serve as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and Jin Kang as the general of Wei.

Liu Yao got the will and had to go to Chang'an, but he had an ominous premonition and always felt that this matter was not so simple, but unfortunately he had no evidence, so he could only follow the order. The Seven Realms

"You come with me, I don't know what is going to happen in this Pingyang City, I don't feel at ease when you are here alone with your children." Liu Yao said to Yang Xianrong.

"Leave like this, in case something happens......" Yang Xianrong hesitated a little: "Jin Zhun has made so many recent moves, I'm afraid he is not willing to be just a very human minister."

Liu Yao didn't know why, but if he didn't leave, he would fall into Jin Zhun's arms, and when Jin Zhun had already resisted the decree or arrested him for treason, he had no way at all.

"What if we leave, Ling'er?" Yang Xianrong asked again.

"She's going to be fine, she's a woman in the end, plus Liu Cang is close to Ling'er, so she won't be embarrassed." Liu Yao said: "Let's go, go out of the city first, out of Jin Zhun's range, and then we will make plans, besides, the soldiers and horses in my hands are all in Chang'an, even if I want to do anything, I must meet them first."

Yang Xianrong was finally persuaded and left Pingyang City with Liu Yao and walked towards Chang'an City.

In September, not long after Liu Yao arrived in Chang'an City, Jin Zhun suddenly attacked, he led his own soldiers to break into the harem to kill Liu Can, and beheaded all the Liu royal family in Beijing in Dongshi. He also dug up the tombs of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, beheaded Liu Cong's body, and burned the Liu Clan's temple.

After doing all this, Jin Zhun called himself "King of Han" and placed hundreds of officials. Then, he did something that made everyone unbelievable: he handed over the jade seal of the heirloom that was robbed by the Han Dynasty when the Jin Dynasty fell to Hu Song, a descendant of the Han and Jin Dynasty, to the Jiankang Jin Court, and said to Sima Rui: "How dare the clown be king? I will return the two emperors' Azusa Palace. ”

Hu Song didn't know Jin Zhun's intentions, he didn't dare to send the seal, and was killed by Jin Zhun. Sima Rui was even more confused, he couldn't believe that there would be such a good thing, so he sent someone to pick up the Second Emperor Zi Palace, but it turned out to be really successful.

Liu Yao heard what happened in Pingyang in Chang'an, and he regretted it at the beginning, if he hadn't been confused for a while, or if he was too concerned about Liu Cang and lost the opportunity to eradicate Jin Zhun, how could such a thing happen in Pingyang? How could Liu Cang end up like this? There are so many descendants of the Liu family who have different heads, and even the tombs of their fathers and brothers have been dug up, what kind of face does this give him to face his ancestors and ancestors?

"Sister Ling'er......" Yang Xianrong asked with red eyes.

Liu Yao shook his head silently, he didn't know, he didn't know what kind of miserable situation Pingyang City was in now, and he didn't know if he survived.

After the grief, Liu Yao personally led the army from Chang'an to Pingyang, traveled to Chibi, and met the Taifu Zhu Ji and others who escaped from Pingyang, they told Liu Yao about the nightmarish situation of those days, and implored Liu Yao to be the emperor, and then led the army to attack Jin Zhun.

"Emperor?" Yang Xianrong asked in surprise.

Liu Yao nodded solemnly and said, "Now there are not many people left in the Liu family, if I don't stand up, the Han Dynasty will be over." He lowered his voice and said, "I know that once I say yes, I will be sorry to you, I am afraid that we will not be able to live the life we have always wanted to live in this life, but ......"

"Don't say it," Yang Xianrong covered Liu Yao's mouth and said softly: "Do what you should do, don't take care of me."

"But ......" Liu Yao was very moved, he choked up and said, "I'm sorry for you."

"Husband and wife, what are you talking about?" Yang Xianrong smiled softly and said, "Besides, what I want is just to be with you all the time, and I don't care about anything else, whether it's the palace or the village, it's the same."

"But you must know that once I ascend the throne, you will be the queen of two dynasties, and the world will ......"

"What the world says, I didn't care when I promised to be with you, there are many crimes, and I don't care about one more." Yang Xianyun's light and breezy appearance made Liu Yao calm down, she patted Liu Yao's shoulder and said, "Go, no matter what, I will accompany you."

Yang Xianrong's support and generosity gave Liu Yao great confidence, and he became the emperor and changed the Yuan Guangchu. At that time, Shile was stationed in Hebei, and even if he made Shile a general, he formed a horn with Shile and attacked Pingyang.

Jin Zhun saw that Liu Yao's power was huge, and he was afraid, so he immediately sent Bu Tai to make peace, and Liu Yao said: "Liu Cang is a faint monarch without a way, you have no merit in killing, as long as you surrender, I will count your merits as supporting." ”

These words sounded good on the surface, but Jin Zhun knew that he had killed so many descendants of the Liu family, Liu Yao must have hated himself to the bone, and once he surrendered, he would definitely be more than lucky, so although his two cousins urged him to surrender, he had been hesitant.

In this way, it was a new year, Jin Zhun's cousin Jin Ming killed Jin Zhun in fear, and then gave the heirloom jade seal to Liu Yao and surrendered to Liu Yao. Liu Yao successfully returned to Pingyang and killed all the men and women of the Jin clan.
