In November 349, Shi Zun summoned Shi Jian and others to the palace to discuss the killing of Ran Min with his mother, Empress Dowager Zheng (Zheng Cherry, Shi Di's mother).

There is no doubt that Ran Min is a great hero, and there can only be one crime that can kill him - rebellion. Looking at Ran Min's actions, he just won over the hearts of the soldiers, and may have made a few complaints that should not have been made. Maybe I have that thought, but after all, there is no evidence. However, it is a big threat, the past is high, and the current weight is heavy, and every dissatisfaction will cause a commotion in the court. And this will definitely make Shi Zun, as the emperor, untainable and restless at night. The king's doubts and worries can be regarded as the reason why Ran Min should die!

Getting rid of generals who wield military power has always been a big problem, and the slightest mistake can lead to a mutiny. Out of prudence, Shi Zun convened this high-level family meeting, hoping that all parties concerned could reach a consensus and decide Ran Min's life and death. The meeting took place in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, harmonious and warm, without much discussion, and the main topic of the meeting (killing Ran Min) was agreed upon by almost everyone, including Shi Jian (which must be mentioned here).

There is only one person who has expressed opposition - Empress Dowager Zheng.

The Empress Dowager Zheng, who has experienced vicissitudes, no longer has the violent and vicious (harming Shihu's wife), but has become a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person. In the drama of Shi Zun's usurpation of power, Ran Min made great contributions, and even the Empress Dowager Zheng could see this, "If there is no Ran Min, how can we have today!" In her opinion, although Ran Min is arrogant, his sin is not to death. Think about the hard work that others have made for us, what is it to be arrogant? Why do you want to kill him at every turn? That's our great benefactor! Shi Zun's discussion about killing Ran Min came to an abrupt end amid the opposition of Empress Dowager Zheng, and Ran Min escaped because of this.

Physiological differences lead to psychological differences, with women leaning more towards sensuality than men. Politics is always cold and ruthless, and it does not allow the existence of the slightest perceptual understanding of things, where is there any pity and gratitude? The only relationship is called to use and be used. It is true that there is no Ran Min today, but with Ran Min, today's life is not stable no matter what.

Zheng Cherry, who had never done anything good, finally did a good deed (saving Ran Min's life), but in the end, he killed himself, lost everything, and had no children and grandchildren. However, once, her viciousness made others pay with their lives, but she got everything she wanted.

It's really confusing, why do you get hurt when you do good deeds?

The explanation I can give is superficial, and there is only one: this is an era of black and white, where there is no distinction between good and evil; Morals are decayed, the law is ......, even the "beast" can become the law, what else do we have to say! Zheng Cherry, who has been through ups and downs for a long time, did not understand the rules of survival in that era.

The meeting was held in secret, and the participants were all close relatives of the royal family, who should have shared the same hatred and unity. Unfortunately, however, there was a traitor. After the meeting, Shi Jian, who had just walked out of the palace gate, sent a special envoy to report to Ran Min all the contents of the meeting, such as who attended, what the theme was, the views they held, and what results they had achieved. Of course, Shi Jian's own attitude was selectively ignored.

In fact, Shi Jian wanted to be the emperor himself, and he wanted to get rid of Shi Zun with the help of Ran Min's hand. It can be seen that Shi Jian, as long as the temptation is enough, betraying his brother is as simple as turning his hands over his hands, and his eyelids are not bad. What kind of family affection and loyalty, how can it be compared to the throne of the emperor who is high above. Power is my dearest relatives and best brothers! Shi Jian thought.

He really deserves to be Shi Hu's son!

And Ran Min needs to save his life.

There is no need for the ritual of a blood alliance, and the common interests make the alliance between Ran Min and Shi Jian only need an eyebrow. It's time to act, and one step later is the end of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat".

Ran Min, who got the news, immediately held two important people hostage, Sikong Li Nong and the right guard general Wang Ji, and conspired to depose Shi Zun. Please note that the word "hijacking" is used here, yes, the incident happened suddenly, there is no psychological preparation, if you don't "hijack", people don't do it with Ran Min. Subsequently (after gaining the support of the two), Ran Min's generals Su Hai and Zhou Cheng arrested Shi Zun (Shi Zun was unprepared, he was playing against the woman at the time) in Ruyiguan, and killed him after taking him to Kunhua Palace. At the same time, the Empress Dowager Zheng, the Empress, the crown prince Shi Yan, Meng Zhun, Wang Yuan, and Shangguanglu Zhang Fei were killed.

Shi Zun reigned for a total of 183 days.

Except for the unorthodox usurpation, Shi Zun is still very good. At that time, Yao Yizhong, Fu Hong, Ran Min and others gave him an evaluation: His Royal Highness is long and virtuous. There is also a man named Zhang Ju (I don't know who he is!) ), the evaluation to him is: Yan Gongbin has a martial strategy, and Peng Cheng Gongzun has a literary virtue.

Among Shi Hu's sons, isn't Shi Zun very good?

It was Shi Jian who succeeded Shi Zun and ascended the throne as emperor. The introduction of Shi Jian is exempt, you can refer to the above thing that Shi Jian did. Just one more thing, Shi Zun once said when he was arrested, "I'm still like this, how long can Shi Jian last?" ”

In a word of misfortune, Shi Jian really didn't last long!

Ran Min has been promoted again, King Wude. The Li Nong who was held hostage by him was also promoted, Da Sima and Lu Shangshu. Since then, Ran Min and Li Nong have formed an alliance and jointly ruled the government.

In the previous article, we mentioned that Li Nong, who was born in the beggar army, was a very capable person, and climbed step by step to the position of an important minister in the court by virtue of his military exploits in the Shihu era, and he was a good hand in politics and military affairs. After being kidnapped by Ran Min, he gained huge political gains, so Li Nong boarded Ran Min's chariot and didn't want to get down until he was crushed.

Ran Min is a threat to Shi Zun, and it is also a lingering shadow for Shi Jian. As a result of the success of the coup, Ran Min became even stronger, and Li Nong was added as a helper. Ran Min, who has the strength to abolish Shi Zun, is also enough to abolish Shi Jian. This alone is enough for Shi Jian to wake up from a nightmare every night.

In November 349, Shi Jian decided to assassinate Ran Min and Li Nong. Please note that this chapter begins in this month. The urgency of the time, the complexity of the situation, and the intensity of the action are incomparable.

Those who participated in the operation included Leping Wang Shibao (who did not die), Zhongshu Ling Li Song, and the palace general Zhang Cai.

Assassination time: A dark night.

Location: Kunhua Hall in the palace (for this place, you can completely see it as the "outside the noon gate" of "pushing out the noon gate outside the beheading", at least, the function is almost the same).

As for why the two were still in the palace late at night at that time, it is unknown. Probably His Majesty the Emperor summoned Ran Min and Li Nong to discuss something. In fact, there is another possibility: staying in the Forbidden Palace overnight, such as Dong Zhuoshi. However, judging from Shi Jian's ability to dispatch troops, Ran Min and Li Nong were far from reaching Dong Zhuo's power at that time. Well, the reason can only be the former.

The plan was very thorough, Shi Bao and the others were ready to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the two to make a surprise attack, kill people, seize power, and get it done. Since they did not receive an explicit order from Shi Jian, the palace soldiers did not completely obey Shi Bao's orders. Moreover, I always think that Ran Min and Li Nong entered the palace with the garrison, otherwise, they would not have the ability to respond so quickly. Historical records: No. No-gram means that you haven't beaten it. It is clear that in the palace, Ran Min and Li Nong have their own army. There is another possibility, the palace guards turned against each other and helped Ran Min and Li Nong. … Do you still remember Ran Min's widespread favor among the soldiers in the palace? At this point, it's time to make a difference. You know, Gong Ran raised you for today! This sentence has a historical source, and it has been mentioned before, I don't know if you can still guess it?

In short, the surprise attack of Shi Bao and the others failed, and, due to the peculiarity of the geographical location (the imperial palace), it caused a disturbing chaos. It is difficult to find traces of Ran Min and Li Nong.

Assassination of this kind of thing, the assassin has only one chance, one blow misses, all lose, no one will stand there like a scarecrow to let you stab, stab, stab, stab, stab Regardless of success or failure, the only way to do it is to have the heart of death, and then, things can be done. It is not for nothing that the group fights and wins, but if the other party is a warrior who has survived a hundred battles, and there are guards to protect each other to the death, how can it be different from taking the head of the general in a million army? If you can't win in a short period of time, the situation will be reversed, and nothing can be done!

The person who wants to protect himself has become Shi Jian, after all, Ran Min is a figure of the Later Zhao real power faction, holding heavy troops and controlling the government, and he is no longer a figure that Shi Jian can control. It was on that night that Shi Jian killed Li Song, Zhang Cai and Leping Wang Shibao (Shi Zun was not willing to kill), these people were still fighting for Shi Jian one moment, and the next second they became the souls of Shi Jian's knife.

Yes, there is no absolute justice and evil in the struggle, there are no absolute friends and enemies, it is just an entanglement of interests, and what Shijian wants is to protect his own interests. Now that the operation has failed, Shi Jian can only blame the executors who are loyal to him. things, you will do them; Black cauldron, you guys carry it. As for the emperor, he will always be upright and upright, so how can he not do this kind of thing, it is purely a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding, it was indeed a misunderstanding, Ran Min and Li Nong held a steel knife in one hand and a rope in the other, and said to Shi Jian with a smile: Loyal ministers! Your Majesty, don't be misunderstood.

Ran Min's rebellion was carried out passively, but after each time, the power in his hands went to a higher level and became more and more powerful, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After this time, Ran Min finally set aside Shijian and completely controlled the power of the Later Zhao Dynasty.

As for Shi Jian's performance of shirking responsibility, Ran Min didn't pursue it, and he didn't have the heart to watch it, is it really that important whether he deserves it or is innocent and wronged?
