Chapter 530: Palace Coup

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xuan knew that Shen Tujian, Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, Hu Yin, and Kui Huan were plotting to hold him hostage, so he decided to strike first and get rid of these five people by surprise.

As a result, his edict was sent out, and four people came, but only Kui Huan did not come.

When Liu Xuan and the others were in an uproar, Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly escaped from the palace, five people, and in the end, only Shen Tujian was left to stay in the side hall and wait stupidly.

When Liu Xuan came to the side hall, he raised his eyes and found that Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin had disappeared.

When I asked, I realized that the three of them had already run out of the palace. Even if there is only one person left, it is better than nothing.

Liu Xuan immediately ordered that Shen Tujian be taken down and the law rectified on the spot. The palace guards didn't give Shen Tujian a chance to speak, so they rushed up, took Shen Tujian down on the spot, pulled him to the outside of the main hall, and cut off Shen Tujian's head with a knife.

Shen Tujian, one of the veterans of the Green Forest Army and one of the leaders of the Green Forest Army, conspired with Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Chen Mu, Liao Zhan and others to push Liu Xuan as emperor, and in the end, Shen Tujian himself died in the hands of Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan killed Shen Tujian, shocked the government and the opposition, and also greatly touched the bottom line of the green forest system.

Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin, who had run away before, immediately led their troops and launched an attack on the palace. Liu Xuan had already made corresponding preparations and asked the palace guards to close the palace gate and strictly guard the palace.

Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin led their troops to attack, because the palace was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was difficult to conquer in a short time, and the three of them were in a hurry to order their subordinates to burn the palace gate.

As the gate of the palace was burned down, a large group of people led by Liao Zhan and others rushed into the palace and started a fierce battle with Liu Xuan's guards in the palace.

is still the same sentence, the reason why the Green Forest Department is so unscrupulous is because they have military power in their hands. The two sides fought fiercely for a day, and in the end, the palace guards were outnumbered and defeated by the army of the Green Forest.

Liu Xuan knew that the catastrophe was coming, where did he dare to continue to stay in the palace, carrying his group of wives and concubines, as well as the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, in more than 100 carriages, escaped from the east gate of Chang'an, and went straight to Xinfeng.

Xinfeng has Zhao Meng leading troops to garrison, and now Liu Xuan can't count on others, so he can only go to Zhao Meng.

Liu Xuan ran away, and Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, and Hu Yin commanded the soldiers and horses under their command and ransacked the people of Chang'an. These soldiers, who are more bandits than bandits, rob whatever they see, and as long as the people resist a little, they will draw their swords and kill them.

In addition, Liao Zhan, Zhang Wei, Hu Yin and others also ordered their soldiers to post notices all over Chang'an, claiming that Liu Xuan was not worthy of being the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and that they were complying with the will of Heaven, deposing the Son of Heaven and setting up a new monarch.

This news reached Liu Xiu's ears in Hebei and made Liu Xiu overjoyed. Liu Xiu had already calculated that Liu Xuan and the Green Forest Department would not last long, and there would be chaos between the two, but he didn't expect this chaos to come so quickly.

Since Liao Zhan and others rebelled and deposed the Son of Heaven, then there is no Son of Heaven in the Imperial Court now, which is a God-given opportunity for Liu Xiu.

If he was proclaimed emperor in Hebei at this time, it would not be considered a rebellion, but a succession of Liu Xuan and the continuation of the Han dynasty.

At this time, the Han army led by Liu Xiu happened to go to the city of Changshan County. Liu Xiujun had just arrived in Juancheng and was camping outside the city to rest, when a classmate of Liu Xiu asked to see him.

The one who asked to see Liu Xiu was Liu Xiu's classmate when he was in Taixue, named Qiang Hua.

Qianghua and Liu Xiu have a good relationship, when the two went to Taixue, they were not only classmates, but also lived in the same room, so the two were both classmates and roommates.

Knowing that his old classmates came to meet him, Liu Xiu was very happy and personally paid the account to welcome Qianghua. Qianghua and Liu Xiu are of the same age, and their appearance is not good, but the conditions of the family are good, and they are from rich and noble families.

After the two met, Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Zirui, we haven't seen each other for many years......"

Before Liu Xiu's opening remarks were finished, Qianghua suddenly knelt on his knees and bowed forward.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was taken aback. Even if he is now King Xiao, with the relationship between the two of them as classmates and friends, after meeting, there is no need to give such a big gift!

He was about to step forward to help, but Qianghua sang loudly: "Caomin Qianghua, meet Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu was shocked, and the generals Wu Han, Geng Yi, and Cen Peng who were present also showed surprise.

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Qianghua up from the ground, and said, "Zirui said carefully, I am only King Xiao now, not the Son of Heaven!" ”

After Qiang Hua got up, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuffs, held it high, and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have the world's strange book "Chifu Fu" in their hands!" ”

"Red Fu Fu" is very famous, everyone knows that this is a book of prophecy, but only a handful of people know what exactly is in it.

Liu Xiu looked at him in surprise and didn't react for a while. Qianghua didn't care what Liu Xiu's reaction was, unfolded the bamboo slips, and sang loudly: "Liu Xiu's troops can't be arrested, the four Yi gather in Longdouye, and the fire is the main thing on the occasion of April and Seven!" Looking at the "Red Fu Fu" in Qiang Hua's hand, listening to Qiang Hua singing the proverbs in "Red Fu Fu", everyone present, whether it was a civil official, a military general, or an ordinary soldier, people were dumbfounded, and then knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison: "

Ministers (villains) meet Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu looked around at the people who were kneeling down, and didn't know what to say for a while. He grabbed Qianghua's arm and said, "Zirui, why do you have to say this kind of thing outside, let's talk in the account!" ”

He dragged Qianghua into the camp tent, but Qianghua's chanting just now, but many soldiers could hear it clearly, and the news spread quickly in the Han army camp as if it had grown wings.

The soldiers had a lot of discussions in private, and they were all discussing the proverbs about Liu Xiu in "Red Fu Fu".

'Liu Xiu's troops can't be arrested', this sentence is easy to understand, Liu Xiu raised troops to crusade against the unscrupulous. 'The four Yi gather in the dragon and fight the wilderness', this sentence is also easy to understand, the heroes of all races from all directions gather in one place, like a group of dragons fighting in the wilderness.

'Fire is the main thing on the occasion of four or seven', this sentence has a lot of implicit content, which also involves the five virtues all the time.

Four-seven-twenty-eight. From Liu Bang to the emperor, the creation of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), from now (25 AD), it is exactly 228 years, which corresponds to the occasion of 47.

Chinese dynasties paid attention to the five virtues. The doctrine of the Five Virtues has always been put forward by Zou Yan, a master of yin and yang during the Warring States Period.

Wude always said that it is about the five elements of mutual restraint, which corresponds to civil engineering, gold, fire and water.

The first dynasty in China was the Yu Dynasty, which was founded by the Yellow Emperor and corresponded to Tude.

Mu Ketu, so the Xia Dynasty after the Yu Dynasty, is Mude. Jin Kemu, the Shang Dynasty after the Xia Dynasty was Jinde. Huo Kejin, the Zhou Dynasty after the Shang Dynasty was Huode. Water overcomes fire, and the Qin Dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty is water virtue.

During the Liu Bang period, the scholar Zhang Cang proposed that the Qin Dynasty was too short and could not be regarded as a dynasty, and if it was deduced by the dynasty, it should be the Han Dynasty that replaced the Zhou, and there was nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty, so it was the Han that corresponded to the water virtue, not the Qin.

Liu Bang also adopted this argument at the time.

However, when it came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he thought that the Qin Dynasty should be regarded as the previous dynasty, and the Han Dynasty replaced the Qin, not the Zhou.

When Wang Mang arrived, Wang Mang asked Liu Xin, a master of metaphysics, whether Han was a water virtue or a soil virtue. Liu Xin gave the statement that Zhou is wood, Qin is gold, and Han is fire, so Han is fire.

The fire in 'fire as the main' refers to the virtue of fire, and the virtue of fire refers to the Han Dynasty. The coherent understanding of the sentence that the fire is the main on the occasion of the fourth and seventh is that after Gaozu became emperor for 228 years, the Han family will be orthodox in the world again.

The first sentence of the proverb is that Liu Xiu can't be arrested, Liu Xiu is a descendant of the Han family, and the proverb also says that the Han family is orthodox, isn't this just saying that Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven?

Liu Xin also read this proverb in "Chifu Fu" that he changed his name to Liu Xiu, and as a result, an imposter is an imposter after all, and he, Liu Xiu, is not the Liu Xiu chosen by God after all.

In the tent, all the generals were energetic this time. They were in a hurry to let Liu Xiu become the emperor, but Liu Xiu always shirked it, and it was at this time that Qianghua appeared, and the most critical point was that Qianghua also brought "Red Fufu".

And the proverb in "Chifu Fu" clearly writes that Liu Xiu should be the son of heaven today!

The people knelt down in the tent, including Qianghua, and persuaded them to advance. Liu Xiu leaned his elbows on the table, his fist against his forehead, and was silent for a long time.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even the Heavenly Mandate Fu Rui has said so, you can't hesitate any longer!" ”

Liu Xiu said quietly: "This is a very important matter, and I have to consult Zhonghua and Gongsun again." ”

Everyone present stomped their feet and beat their chests, and they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, eager to go directly to help Liu Xiu become emperor.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to leave. After they all left, Qianghua looked back outside, smiled slightly, held the "Red Fu Fu" with both hands, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen will return to Zhao completely!" ”

Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, and asked, "Zirui is making fun of me?" ”

Qiang Hua waved his hand again and again, and said seriously: "Weichen doesn't dare!" Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how dare Weichen tease the Son of Heaven? ”

Liu Xiu raised his hand and nodded Qianghua.

On Liu Xuan's side, he had just been expelled from Chang'an by Liao Zhan and others, and on Liu Xiu's side, Qiang Hua, an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years, suddenly appeared, and by the way, he also brought Liu Xiu the world's strange book "Red Fu Fu", which was too coincidental.

The vast majority of coincidences in the world are not real coincidences, but man-made coincidences.

Liu Xiu wants too much, he wants a real throne, and he wants a good reputation for justice and benevolence, which requires him to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Liu Xuan's side has created an excellent opportunity for him, and at the same time, he himself needs to create an excellent opportunity for himself, and the fusion of two excellent opportunities can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Now, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him.

Liu Xiu sent a letter to Deng Yu, asking Deng Yu's opinion on his claim to be emperor. In fact, for such a big matter, he should have summoned Deng Yu back and interviewed him.

But now Deng Yu is leading the army to fight in Hedong, and is besieging Anyi, the battle has reached an extremely critical moment, and he really can't leave, and Liu Xiu can only write a letter to Deng Yu.

Deng Yu's reply to Liu Xiu has a lot of content, but it can be summed up in one meaning, the king should be the emperor now, and the last general will fully support the king to become the emperor.

At the same time as Liu Xiu wrote to Deng Yu, he also sent a letter to Feng Yi and summoned Feng Yi to come to Juancheng.

suddenly received a letter from Liu Xiu, and asked him to rush to Yancheng immediately, which frightened Feng Yi.

At this time, he had just explained to the king about his correspondence with Li Yi, but now the king suddenly summoned himself to Shancheng, is this to punish himself? Tell yourself not to have correspondence with Li Yi?

Feng Yi's heart went up and down, and he came to Yancheng with trepidation. When he arrived in Shancheng, he found that the atmosphere here was very strange.

Whether it is the city of Juan, or the Han army camp outside the city, they are full of joy, and the soldiers in the camp, and even the people inside and outside the city, have smiles on their faces and shine. There haven't been any major festivals lately, and Feng Yi can't understand what people are happy about.
