In the Langya Palace, Liaocheng, Bozhou, Princess Zhou Youzhi sat on the couch, holding the raccoon cat Xiaohei, stroking constantly, while supervising the work of the commanding staff.

The raccoon cat Xiao Hei was lazily lying in the princess's arms, so comfortable, slightly closing her eyes and enjoying the princess's massage on it. After a while, Xiao Hei felt that he had pressed enough, meowed, struggled and jumped out of the princess's arms, and walked on the carpet with a catwalk.

Zhou Youzhi shouted with concern: "Hey, Xiao Hei, don't go far!" Little Black ignored her and ran out the door. Zhou Youzhi ordered Zhu Changshun, a domestic servant who was cleaning, to take care of Xiao Hei and prevent him from running away.

Zhu Changshun immediately went out to see Xiao Hei. At this time, the scolding of Li Chong, the king of Langya, came from the guest hall, and Zhou Youzhi went over to see what was going on, but it turned out that the progress of Xiao Dezong's recruitment of soldiers and horses was too slow, which caused Li Chong's dissatisfaction, so he scolded him.

Zhou Youzhi persuaded: "Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, sorrow hurts the lungs, thoughts hurt the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys." Don't be impatient, don't be angry! ”

Li Chong's anger subsided for a while, and Xiao Dezong retreated. Zhou Youzhi said again: "Resisting the imperial court, has Da Lang thought it through?" The concubine is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but our strength is obviously like an egg hitting a stone compared to the imperial court, this is a lice on the monk's head - an obvious thing! Why did Da Lang continue to do it? ”

Li Chong said: "It's not that I want to do it, it's the Holy Mother God Emperor who is aggressive and forces me to do this!" If you don't do it, wait until you rush to the god capital in December to worship, and you will be sent to death like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger! ”

Zhou Youzhi said: "The concubine thinks that if we take the initiative to confess our guilt, it is a big deal to be exempted from official exile, and we can always save the lives of the whole family!" ”

Li Chong shook his head and said, "It's useless, Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by." Our Lady God Emperor has made up his mind to usurp my Li Tang Jiangshan, as a relative of Li Tang, entrusted by the ancestral hall, there is only one way to sacrifice his life to resist! Otherwise, there is no shame to see the ancestors in Huangquan! ”

Zhou Youzhi was silent for a long time before he said: "If Da Lang has three long and two short, the concubine is also ready to go with the three-foot white silk!" Being confiscated into the palace as a slave is more painful than death. ”

Li Chong held her hand tightly and said, "Hey, now, only fight hard, fight to the death, it's better than sending meat to the chopping board - looking for a knife to suffer, it's more glorious!" ”

Zhou Youzhi's face was full of sadness, and he returned to the back garden and shouted: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei!" Zhu Changshun, Zhu Changshun! Zhu Changshun heard it and hurriedly said, "Only! ”

Zhou Youzhi asked, "What about Xiao Hei?" "Blackie? I'm looking for it, too? Zhu Changshun said carefully.

Zhou Youzhi said angrily: "You've been lazy since I went out, haven't you?" As he spoke, he picked up a feather duster and beat Zhu Changshun, causing Zhu Changshun's head to blister. Zhu Changshun held his head in both hands to dodge and scream.

Zhou Youzhi taught a lesson while fighting: "You also know how to give up? All I have to ask is you still lazy? "Don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" Zhu Changshun begged for mercy.

Zhou Youzhi said: "Give you a quarter of an hour, and you can't find my little black again, see if I don't kill you?" Zhu Changshun hurriedly went out to find Xiao Hei, but he didn't see it in all corners, and a quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Zhou Youzhi ordered the housekeeper to punish Zhu Changshun. The housekeeper took a few people to tie Zhu Changshun with his back to the sky on the bench, took off his pants, and beat him with wattles, making him cry wolf and howl, shouting that people are not as good as cats!

At this time, the maid Xiaohong went to the closet to get clothes, and found that the tanuki cat Xiaohei was hiding in the closet and sleeping, so she picked up Xiaohei and gave it to the princess.

Zhou Youzhi was overjoyed, took Xiao Hei and kept stroking, screaming baby, forgetting that Zhu Changshun was being beaten!

The housekeeper came to report to Zhou Youzhi after the punishment, and Zhou Youzhi remembered it and said: "The concubine's little black has been found, spare him!" ”

Zhu Changshun was beaten for no reason, limped when he walked, and recuperated in the dormitory for a few days. The people of the palace were indifferent to him, and he was so sad that he didn't want to stay in the palace anymore.

Zhu Changshun thought about where to work, and suddenly remembered that a relative lived in nearby Shen County, so he decided to go to Shen County to seek refuge with his relatives.

After a few days, Zhu Changshun's injuries healed a little and he was able to get up and walk around, so he quietly packed his luggage, made an excuse to go out, and left the palace.

After Zhu Changshun arrived in Shen County, he found a relative's house and temporarily lived in a relative's house. Relatives helped him find a job, and it happened that Ma Xuansu's family, the county commander of Shen County, lacked servants, so he introduced Zhu Changshun to his house to work.

Ma Xuansu is a shrewd and capable person, and he treats his subordinates more leniently, and Zhu Changshun is very comfortable at his house. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Ma Xuansu sent Zhu Changshun out to purchase Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes.

After coming back, Ma Xuansu gave him a pack of Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes and asked him about the current situation of Langya Wangfu in Liaocheng.

Zhu Changshun told Ma Xuansu about the recruitment of troops by Li Chong's chief, Shi Xiao Dezong. Ma Xuansu asked, "By the time you left the palace, how many soldiers and horses had they recruited?" ”

Zhu Changshun replied: "I heard that 5,000 soldiers and horses have been recruited!" Ma Xuansu immediately wrote an urgent report, stamped it with the seal of the county government, sent someone to report to Luoyang on a fast horse, and sent someone to Liaocheng to reconnoiter the news.

Li Chong, the king of Langya, learned about the dynamics of the imperial court through the channels of other clans, and was shocked to learn that the imperial court had already known about his recruitment.

Li Chong asked Princess Zhou Youzhi: "Has anyone disappeared in the palace recently?" Zhou Youzhi replied: "Only the slave Zhu Changshun left the palace and never returned!" ”

Li Chong sighed and said, "Hey, it's bad, it's bad, this slave must have gone to tell the truth!" The matter is urgent and cannot wait any longer. To continue to wait is to sit still! ”

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Chong held a grand and grand Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake banquet on the battlefield, killing pigs and sheep, and distributing moon cakes.

On August 17, Li Chong, the assassin of Bozhou and the king of Langya, was forced to hastily raise troops in Liaocheng, Bozhou, against the Holy Mother of God. Because he was too hasty and underprepared, he didn't even have time to write a document to crusade against his opponent, and so many envoys were dispatched, but none of the clan kings responded, which was equivalent to zero reply.

After Ma Xuansu, the county commander of Shen County, learned the news of Li Chong's army, he immediately sent an expedited post horse to Luoyang to report the news, and he gathered about 1,700 soldiers and horses in the county, ready to go, and planned to invite Li Chong on the way.

After receiving the urgent report from Bozhou, the Holy Mother and Emperor ordered the general of Zuo Jinwu, Qiu Shenxun, to be the general manager of the Qingping Road march and lead the troops to fight the rebellion. But that's a few days away.

Li Chong, Changshi Xiao Dezong, Wei Sima, Dianjun Dong Xuanlian and other officials led 5,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River and attack Jeju, first attacking Wushui County.

Li Chong heard that Xue Yi, the assassin of Jeju, was building weapons and preparing to respond to him, so he planned to fight Jeju, rendezvous with Xue Yi, increase his momentum, and then attack to the west.

When Guo Wuyi, the county magistrate of Wushui County, heard that Li Chong's army had crossed the Yellow River, he hurriedly led a group of officials out of the city on horseback and ran to the heavily guarded Weizhou for help.

After Ma Xuansu, the county commander of Shen County, received the report of the secret agent, he quickly led 1,700 soldiers and horses to Wushui County, and Zhu Changshun also followed.

When it was three miles away from Wushui County, spies arrived to report that Li Chong's soldiers and horses had arrived five miles away from Wushui County. Ma Xuansu asked his officials: "Should we ambush Li Chong here, or should we rush into Wushui County and defend the city on behalf of Guo Wuyi?" ”

The subordinate official said: "Li Chong has an army of 5,000, and our department only has 1,700 people, even if it is suddenly attacked from both sides, I am afraid that it will be outnumbered, it is better to defend the city on behalf of Guo Wudi!" ”

Ma Xuansu shouted: "Okay! He led his subordinates to run and move forward rapidly, rushed into the city of Wushui County, closed the door and refused to defend the city, and did not let Li Chong cross the border.

Ma Xuansu commanded the soldiers to close the city gates on all sides, and Li Chong's army came down to the city. Wei Sima saw from afar that the south gate of Wushui County was closing, and hurriedly led his troops to shoot forward, and when he arrived at the south gate, the south gate happened to be closed, and he had a closed door.

Xiao Dezong ordered his subordinates to push out a grass cart to block the south gate of Wushui County, wanting to take advantage of the southeast wind to set fire to the city gate, and then use the fire to break through the city defense.

After the ignition of the fire, the wind direction suddenly changed, from the southeast wind to the northwest wind, the fire burned their own soldiers and horses, the people in front screamed and retreated, the morale of the troops was hit hard, and everyone was very depressed.

After seeing the sudden change in the direction of the wind, he said to his soldiers: "King Langya is at war with the imperial court, this is a rebellion!" Rebellion can't get the blessing of God, and even the wind won't help King Langya! ”

Li Chong was anxious and at a loss, and after hearing Dong Xuanlone's discouraged words, he was furious and ordered to kill Dong Xuanlone on the spot.

Who knew that those recruited Dong Xuan's subordinates, when they saw that the wind direction suddenly changed and their leaders were killed, they didn't listen to the command, and all scattered in a hurry and fled into the grass, unable to stop it.

Changshi Xiao Dezong and Wei Sima saw that the soldiers mutinied and there was no hope of attacking Wushui County, so they also led their troops to flee considering their own family.

Li Chong was so anxious that he couldn't stop it, and in the end, there were only a few dozen soldiers left around him. When Ma Xuansu and Zhu Changshun saw this scene at the city gate, they both laughed and ridiculed Li Chong for being incompetent!

Li Chong's situation is very embarrassing, if he doesn't run away, he will be captured alive by Ma Xuansu, and he will go to ask for merit and receive a reward!

Li Chong had no choice but to flee with dozens of remnants of the defeated generals, cross the Yellow River, and retreat to Bozhou. Ma Xuansu's mission had been completed, and he did not lead his troops to pursue Li Chong.

On the 23rd, when Li Chong and dozens of soldiers lost their souls and walked into the gate of Liaocheng very tiredly, they did not expect the soldiers guarding the gate to also rebel.

The team guarding the gate of Liaocheng is Meng Qingbang, the deputy is Wu Xizhi, and there are dozens of people under him. Meng Qingbang is the cousin of Dong Xuanlian of the Dianjun, and he heard the deserter say that his cousin was killed, and he vowed to avenge his cousin!

Meng Qingbang led his subordinates to polish swords and other weapons to a shiny shine, and after seeing Li Chong walking from a distance, he commanded his subordinates to open half of the city gate, let Li Chong and his family soldiers come in half, and then suddenly closed the city gate.

Then, Meng Qingbang and Wu Xizhi led their troops to close the door and beat the dogs inside the city gate. Li Chong saw that the city gate was suddenly closed, and knowing the plan, he immediately drew his sword to fight.

Helplessly, Meng Qingbang and Wu Xizhi waited for work, raised soldiers for many days, and had already prepared, but now they had the upper hand in numbers, and soon killed all the soldiers under Li Chong.

Li Chong was in a hurry, and while angrily scolding Meng Qingbang for being ungrateful, he was desperately slashing and killing, and everyone surrounded him. Meng Qingbang slashed Li Chong's thigh from behind, and Li Chong fell to the ground screaming.

Meng Qingbang cut off Li Chong's head and put it in a wooden box, and rode on Li Chong's high-headed horse with Wu Xizhi, went straight to the divine capital, and went to ask the Holy Mother and Emperor to receive the reward.

When the princess Zhou Youzhi heard that the evil king of Lang was dead, she cried bitterly, and the servants at home fought for the treasure, and then dispersed. Zhou Youzhi looked at the wolf all over the place, all thoughts were lost, and he hanged himself by hanging himself on the beam with three white silks!

By the time Qiu Shenqi arrived in Bozhou with his troops in a lively manner, there was no rebellion. But if you return empty-handed, I am afraid that you will be punished by the crime of the labor teacher, Brother Qiu is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!

But the officials in Bozhou have not yet realized this, and still think that they will definitely be rewarded for quelling the rebellion and making meritorious contributions on behalf of the imperial court!

The officials of Bozhou were happily dressed in plain clothes and walked out of the city gate to greet Qiu Shenxun. Qiu Shenyun suddenly shouted: "Come on, kill all these collaborators!" ”

Pity these officials who came out to greet them, and they all lost their heads in a daze. Qiu Shenyun led his troops into the city to kill more than 1,000 families, and borrowed the heads of the people of Bozhou to invite merit and receive rewards.

Let's talk about Li Chong's father, Yuzhou Thorn History, Yue King Li Zhen, he is the son of Yan Ping, the concubine of Yueguo, and ranks eighth among Taizong's sons, so he is called Balang, and Li Zhi, the eldest Jiulang, is one year old.

Empress Wu's brother-in-law, Helan Anshi, once served as an errand under Li Zhen and served as the Gongcao of the Yue Palace. After four years of hanging the arch, after Empress Wu issued an edict to Bai Luoshui, the Li Tang clan was panicked and disturbed each other.

Seeing that this younger brother and daughter-in-law was aggressive and not a good person, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, also began to respond to his son Li Chong and actively prepare for war. He exempted the people in Yuzhou from rents in order to win people's hearts.

He also accepted 1,000 servants and thousands of horses, and preached to the outside world that he was using hunting horses, but in fact he was stepping up the training of cavalry.

At that time, the officials involved in the training of the cavalry were: Cheng Pei Shoude of Ruyang County, Zhao Chengmei of the Dianjun Army, Sima Lu Hongdao, An Maha of the Consultative Army, Wang Xiaozhi of the Bing Cao Army, and Shi Weiqingli, the governor of Caizhou.

Among them, Ruyang County Cheng Pei Shoude's performance in the training is the most prominent, he is tall and sturdy, brave in battle, and good at riding and shooting, and the cavalry trained is the most powerful.

After Li Zhen and Concubine Dai watched Pei Shoude's performance, they appreciated it very much, and married their daughter Liangxiang County Lord Xu to him as his wife, and held a lively and grand wedding. After marriage, Li Zhen treated her son-in-law Pei Shoude as a confidant.

Li Zhen secretly ordered Pei Shoude to recruit soldiers and horses in various counties in Yuzhou, build weapons, and actively prepare for war.

Li Zhen inspected the counties in the territory, and when he arrived at the Shuimen Bridge in the west of Caizhou City, he saw that the river water was crystal clear, so he dismounted and walked to the water's edge, looked in the mirror near the water, and saw that the reflection in the water had no head, and he was very frightened, so he immediately returned to his horse and left.

After Li Zhen received Li Chong's handwritten letter to him, he also wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to Zhao Gui, the commander of Shouzhou Assassin and the Commander of the Horse, saying: "This king intends to lead the volunteers to enter your realm. Please contact us! ”

Zhao Gui was very happy after receiving the letter, and wrote a reply, promising to lead the troops to respond. Princess Changle read the letter and was also very happy, so she invited the envoy into the guest hall and gave tea for a long chat.

Princess Changle said: "Tell King Yue for me that this princess is willing to move forward with him, not with him." If you Li Tang Sect princes are really big husbands, you shouldn't delay the movement of the army that has not yet been raised!

I heard that in the second year of the elephant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the great prime minister Yang Jian was regent, and he wanted to usurp the matter, and Yu Wentai's nephew, the governor of Xiangzhou, was still able to raise troops in Xiangzhou, connect the Turks, and make the world resound!

You Li Tang Sect princes and kings, you are the relatives of the country, entrusted by the sect and society, if you don't learn from Wei Chi and give up your life to take righteousness, what else do you want to do? In the face of national troubles, the ministers are loyal to the same enemy, and they are not loyal to the enemy, and they hope to encourage the princes and kings of Li Tang Sect together! ”

The messenger carefully recorded her words and repaid Li Zhen.

His son Li Chong has already raised troops, and the rebellion can no longer be delayed. On August 25, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, had to raise troops in Yuzhou to respond, and sent Pei Shoude to lead a thousand cavalry to capture Shangcai County.

On September 1, the news reached Luoyang, and the Holy Mother appointed Zuobao Taowei general Ko Chongyu as the general of the Chinese army, and Neishi Cen Changqian as the general of the rear army, sent 100,000 troops to crusade against Li Zhen, and sent Zhang Guangfu, the squire of the Fengge, to be the commander of the army, cut off the subordinate titles of Li Zhen and Li Chong's father and son, and changed the surname to Yu.

At this time, Li Zhen heard the two unfavorable news of Li Chong's defeat and the imminent crushing of the army of Koji Chongyu, and he was uneasy and wanted to bring his own shackles to the Divine Capital to ask the Holy Mother and the Emperor for his guilt.

Li Zhen was looking for shackles everywhere, and it happened that Fu Yanqing, the commander of Xincai County, recruited more than 2,000 warriors to help in the battle. Seeing that the warriors were like clouds, they were all here to sponsor themselves, and Li Zhen suddenly felt that she had the confidence to rebel.

Li Zhen changed his mind and announced to the warriors: "Don't panic, the evil king of Lang has already broken through Weizhou and Xiangzhou, and he has gathered 200,000 troops under his command, and he will soon attack here to join us!" The warriors applauded and cheered!

Li Zhen also sent Wei Qingli, Wang Xiaozhi and others to levy 5,000 soldiers from each county under Yuzhou, plus 2,000 warriors, a total of 7,000 people, divided into five battalions.

Li Zhen appointed his son-in-law Pei Shoude as the general and the head of the inner camp, and Fu Yanqing as the deputy head of Xincai County. With Zhao Chengmei as the left middle general, the left camp was charged.

appoint Lu Hongdao as the right middle general, and take the right battalion; An Maha is the general of Lang and the head of the rear army; Wang Xiaozhi is the right general and the former commander of the army. He also took Shi Wei Qingli, the governor of Cai, as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and the Sima of the royal palace.

At this critical time, Li Zhen couldn't take care of much, and wantonly distributed official hats, appointing more than 500 officials above the ninth grade, just to be able to contribute to himself.

In order to boost the confidence of his subordinates, Li Zhen invited Taoist priests Sun Wenjun and Heng Daoyan to come to the battlefield to set up an altar and make offerings. Sun Wenjun and Heng Daoyan wore the crown of the first yuan, wore yellow skirts, purple brown and five-colored clouds, climbed the altar to recite spells and draw talismans, step on the gang, and surpass the undead.

Li Zhen also invited the senior monks Yunxuan and Hezhi Dade to the army to chant and pray for blessings, and opened their eyes for the military talismans. Yun Xuan and He Zhi Dade were dressed in seven robes, and while chanting a mantra, they used a cinnabar pen to click on the Soldier Talisman, which means that the spiritual power is injected into it, which can ensure that the person wearing the Soldier Talisman is invulnerable!

After sending away the great monks, Li Zhen gave the troop talisman to the servants and soldiers to wear, and vigorously preached: "These troop talismans are all opened to the eye, with this talisman, Taishang Laojun and the Buddha will bless you!" ”

Soon, the army of Koji Chongyu arrived forty miles east of Yuzhou City to temporarily station, Li Zhen sent his young son Li Gui and son-in-law Pei Shoude to lead the cavalry to meet the battle, but the result was immediately defeated, and fled back to Ruyang City.

Li Zhen was so frightened that her face was as white as earth, her legs were sifted with chaff, and she hurriedly closed the city gate and closed the door to defend herself.

On September 11, the army of Koji Chongyu approached the city, Li Zhen was helpless, and the city gate was soon lost. Li Zhen's servants picked up their swords to defend Li Zhen at the gate of the palace.

Li Zhen sighed and said to the servants: "Hey, things have come to this point, how can this king let you sit and wait for the humiliation?" Let's all disperse, let's escape! ”

After speaking, Li Zhen went back to the bedroom to find the poison, took the poison and died!

Seeing this, the servants scattered in a hurry, and when they encountered the army rushing into the city, they threw down their weapons and surrendered!

After Li Guihan killed his mother Concubine Dai, he also hanged himself. Pei Shoude and the county lord of Liangxiang cherished each other, and after Huangquan said goodbye, they also hanged themselves together.

Lu Chongyu led his troops into the Yue Palace, beheaded Li Zhen, Li Gui and his son, and Pei Shoude, put them in the box, and passed the head of the Eastern Capital, and the owl was under His Majesty.

The Boyu Rebellion has been pacified!

Afterwards, the Holy Mother appointed Wenchang Zuocheng Di Renjie as the assassin of Yuzhou to appease the people of Yuzhou. Zhang Guangfu took in the rebellious party in Yuzhou, convicted six or seven hundred families, and confiscated more than 5,000 people. The envoy urged Di Renjie to carry out the execution.

Di Renjie thought that the verdict was wrong and asked for a postponement of the execution, and Shang Mi said: "These people were coerced into making trouble, not by their own intentions, please be merciful." "Our Lady of God and Emperor agreed to save them from death and exile them to Fengzhou.

Zhang Guangfu connived at his subordinates to blackmail, but Di Renjie rejected them. Zhang Guangfu said angrily: "How dare you, a state official, snub the marshal? ”

Di Renjie replied sternly: "Ming Gong indulged the soldiers, plundered the people, and killed and surrendered!" Li Zhen, the king of Yue, caused trouble in Yuzhou, but now that one Li Zhen has died, another 10,000 Li Zhen has been born! Di couldn't wait for Shang Fang to cut the horse sword and put it on the neck of Ming Gong, even if Di died, he was willing! ”

Zhang Guangfu held a grudge, and after returning to the court, he reported to the Holy Mother of God, saying that Di Renzhuo was disrespectful and had damaged the minister. As a result, Di Renjie was moved to the left as the Fuzhou Assassin.
