Just when Yang Wu was about to take his new wife to cruise around Huainan, Li Ye, the current son of the Tang Dynasty, was in a panic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period of time, Zhu Quanzhong's ambition to seize power and usurp the throne became stronger and stronger, and his patience became less and less.

First, in December last year, Zhang Jun, the former prime minister of Zhishi at home, was jealous of him for provoking Qingzhou Wang Fan to raise troops against Zhu Quanzhong; After Zhu Quanzhong completely defeated Wang Shifan and began to plot to usurp the throne, he used this as a reason to kill Zhang Jun to prevent him from continuing to incite the feudal towns to revolt.

Then, Cui Yin, the prime minister who had colluded with Zhu Quanzhong and wanted to use his strength to fight against the eunuch forces, was worried that Zhu Quanzhong would usurp the throne, so he proposed to Zhu Quanzhong to rebuild the six armies and twelve guards of the Son of Heaven on the grounds of preventing Li Maozhen from hijacking the Son of Heaven again.

However, Cui Yin is very powerful in playing with power in the court, but he is a little naïve in the face of a strong figure like Zhu Quanzhong. Now Zhu Quanzhong can't wait to completely control the Son of Heaven in his own hands, how can he give him another chance to establish a pro-army?

Therefore, it didn't take long for Cui Yin and his henchmen in the court, Zheng Yuanguan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Chen Ban, the commander of the Weiyuan Army, to be executed by Zhu Quanzhong.

After that, Zhu Quanzhong began his next plan, which was also to force Emperor Li Ye to move the capital to Luoyang on the grounds that Li Maozhen might kidnap the Son of Heaven again at any time, and Li Ye could only obediently comply.

Immediately, Zhu Quanzhong levied tens of thousands of people and craftsmen in various towns in Henan and Hebei, and ordered Zhang Quanyi to build the palace of the eastern capital, and all the feudal towns attached to Zhu Quanzhong were transported to Luoyang to help build them.

At the same time, in order to prevent Chang'an City from being occupied and used by Li Maozhen, Zhu Quanzhong ordered his subordinate Zhang Tingfan to be the imperial envoy, responsible for demolishing Chang'an's palaces, official offices and private houses, taking out timber, throwing it into the Wei River, and floating east along the Yellow River.

After Li Ye arrived in Shaanzhou by car, because the palace in the eastern capital of Luoyang had not yet been built, he could only stay in Shaanzhou temporarily.

That night, Li Ye looked around in the dim palace, and couldn't help but say sadly to Queen He, Mrs. Jin Guo and other concubines: "As the saying goes: 'The finch freezes to death on the top of the mountain, why don't you fly to live and be happy!'" 'Where should I, a finch that is about to freeze to death, now running from place to place and moving uncertainly? A moment of sorrow came from it, and tears were in full of tears.

Empress He and the others also wept, but Mrs. Jin Guo looked around carefully, and when she saw that there was no one else, she whispered: "Your Majesty has encountered this difficulty, and the source of it is the traitor Zhu Quanzhong." As long as Your Majesty can get rid of this person, and then summon the troops of the feudal towns from all over the country, even if you can't revive the Tang Dynasty, at least you can avoid dying overnight! ”

Li Ye was overjoyed in his heart, and then sighed gloomily: "I don't want to get rid of Zhu Quanzhong, but now Zhu Quanzhong is powerful, and all the feudal towns only care about themselves, and none of them dare to come forward, and some feudal towns actually help thieves to cause trouble." In today's situation, how difficult is it to get rid of this traitor? ”

Mrs. Jin Guo said: "If you want to get rid of this thief, you only need a glass of poisonous wine, so why should you expect those unreliable feudal towns?" ”

Empress He seemed to see hope, and hurriedly asked, "What does my sister mean, give him poisonous wine to drink?" It's just that this thief has always been cautious, how can he get him to drink poisoned wine? Moreover, now that this thief is powerful, and the palace is full of his people, where can Your Majesty go to get the poison? ”

"Your Majesty, I have been a country for three hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be no loyal people? The concubine heard that the medical officer Yan Zhi, the envoy Wei Zhou, and the envoy Han Jian, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, have always had grievances against Zhu Quanzhong, and often said that they had no way to serve the country. Your Majesty may wish to summon them, and the medical officer Yan Zhi can help Your Majesty get the poison, plus Wei Zhou, the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the Inner Capital, and Han Jian, the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, can help His Majesty control the army after the matter is completed; His Majesty issued another secret edict and summoned all the feudal towns to raise troops to Qin Wang, so under the internal and external attacks, after losing Zhu Quanzhong, what other way did his subordinates have to surrender to His Majesty for their lives? ”

"Is that true?" Li Ye was overjoyed, and then hesitated a little: "What if any of these people are greedy for wealth and wealth and turn to Zhu Quanzhong to tell the truth?" ”

Mrs. Jin Guo said angrily: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, what is there to hesitate, if the matter is leaked, Your Majesty will put all the responsibility on the concubine!" ”

On the side, Empress He also persuaded again and again, and Li Ye finally mustered up the courage and made up his mind to gather Yan Zhi and the other four people over to conspire together.

A few days later, Li Ye and Zhu Quanzhong feasted the ministers together, and when the banquet was over, Li Ye left only Zhu Quanzhong and Zhongwu Jiedu to make Han Jian continue to drink.

When she was drinking, Queen He suddenly stood up, walked to Zhu Quanzhong with the jade cup in her hand and cried: "The concubine has always known that Quan Zhong is a loyal person, and after going to Luoyang this time, the safety of Your Majesty and the concubine will be entrusted to you." This cup of wine is honored by the concubine on behalf of His Majesty, please be sure to drink it from Quan Zhong! ”

Zhu Quanzhong couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, although Datang was down, Li Ye was still the Son of Heaven after all, and Queen He was still the queen after all, she personally toasted Li Ye, and it was not easy for her to refuse, but wouldn't this be a poisonous bar?

He raised his head and looked at Li Ye, only to see Mrs. Jin Guo whispering close to Li Ye's ear, Li Ye saw him looking over, and nodded to him as usual, with a trace of sadness and anger in his expression.

Seeing this, Zhu Quanzhong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he might have thought too much, if the Son of Heaven showed him a smile on his face, he would be worried, but his current look was as it should be.

So he smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty and Niangniang can rest assured that the ministers are deeply favored by Your Majesty, and the name of the ministers is still given by Your Majesty, how dare you forget it one day." The reason why I asked Your Majesty to move to Luoyang this time was just because I was worried that Li Maozhen, the traitor, would disturb Your Majesty again. After arriving in Luoyang, Your Majesty will rest assured that the ministers will calm the world for you! ”

Li Ye said coldly: "I naturally know Aiqing's loyalty!" I only hope that after arriving in Luoyang, Aiqing can treat me well. ”

Zhu Quanzhong smiled, didn't care about his attitude at all, took the wine glass from Queen He's hand, and prepared to drink it. Li Ye and the others suddenly looked nervous, but they tried their best to pretend not to care.

Zhu Quanzhong raised the wine glass and was about to drink it, but suddenly felt that someone kicked him, he couldn't help but be shocked, looked up, and saw that the person who kicked him was Han Jian, the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Han Jian is not his person, and I heard that Ping Su often complains about him, he is looking for an opportunity to get rid of this person, but he doesn't want to kick himself secretly at this moment, the reason for this is worth pondering.

Zhu Quanzhong couldn't understand Han Jian's intentions for a while, but he also knew that he couldn't drink the glass of wine in his hand whether there was a problem or not, so he immediately pretended to miss and splashed the wine in his hand on his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, the minister is drunk, please forgive the minister for being rude!" Immediately, Zhu Quanzhong didn't even have the mind to be polite to Li Ye and others, waved his sleeves, turned around and hurried away, leaving only Li Ye, Queen He and others in the field, their faces pale.

"Your Majesty, this matter is all the idea of the concubine, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, if Zhu Quanzhong asks, Your Majesty will blame the concubine for everything......" Mrs. Jin Guo said with a desperate face.

Han Jian looked at the few people who were wailing in front of him, sneered a few times in his heart, and hurriedly left.

After Zhu Quanzhong returned to his residence, his face was gloomy, and while telling Jing Xiang, Li Zhen and other strategists what had just happened, he summoned his confidant medical officer, handed him the clothes stained with wine stains, and ordered him to check whether the wine was poisonous.

Soon after, the medical officer came to report that there was a poison in the wine, which would die within a quarter of an hour after drinking, and that there was no cure.

Zhu Quanzhong was furious on the spot when he heard this, and roared loudly: "Slut! It's a shame that Lone still treats each other so politely, wouldn't you be the Son of Heaven Lone wouldn't kill you? Zhu Yougong and Uncle Cong, the two of you immediately led troops into the palace and killed all those sluts! ”

Jing Xiang listened and hurriedly persuaded: "The king is angry, the Son of Heaven and others are trying to harm the king, although it is hateful, but now that the king is killed, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world!" ”

"Yes, this is not the time to kill the king, the king and endure one or two! It's never too late to do it when the time comes! Other advisors also persuaded him.

Today's Tang Dynasty looks stormy, it seems that there is not even a loyal minister left, and Zhu Quanzhong looks like a powerful world, and all the feudal towns dare not obey, but everyone knows that those who oppose Zhu Quanzhong are just lurking in the dark, if Zhu Quanzhong really dares to blatantly kill the king, everyone will raise troops to resist him even if they are pretentious.

What's more, Zhu Quanzhong killed the king as a courtier, although he didn't value this reputation, but he couldn't make it too ugly, right?

So Zhu Quanzhong thought about it, and finally calmed down his anger and said: "The Son of Heaven and Queen He Gu can stay alone for the time being, but the other few people involved in this matter, if Gu doesn't respond, wouldn't he tell them that Gu is guttless?" ”

Zhu Quanzhong instructed the medical officer Xu Zhaoyuan to denounce Yan Zhi, Wei Zhou, Mrs. Jin Guo and others of secretly plotting to kill Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang, and executed them all. At the same time, Zhu Quanzhong also asked to change Chang'an to Youguo Army, appoint Han Jian as the envoy of Youguo Festival, and appoint Liu Zhijun of Zhengzhou Assassin Shi as Kuang Guojie's envoy and stay in Guanzhong.

In order to prevent Li Ye from making any more trouble, Zhu Quanzhong ordered to secretly kill more than 200 people who followed Li Ye's car, including the batting worship and the little eunuch in the inner garden, and pre-selected more than 200 people of similar age to them, put on their clothes, and took charge of the duties of the attendants and guards instead of them.

Since then, Li Ye has completely fallen under Zhu Quanzhong's surveillance, and Zhu Quanzhong's idea of killing the monarch and usurping the throne has become stronger and stronger, and he has become more and more impatient.

A few months later, he instructed Zhu Yougong and Shi Shucong to enter the palace to kill the king, but he pretended not to know about it; After the incident, Zhu Quanzhong put all the blame on the two and ordered the two to commit suicide to apologize. As a result, Zhu Yougong shouted before he died: "Sell me to stop the slander of the world, like a ghost and a god!" Acting like this, I hope there will be a future!"

What Zhu Quanzhong didn't know was that as he stepped up the pace of killing the monarch and seeking power, the Houliang Group he founded also began to split the hearts of the people, and since then it has gradually declined.
