More than 200 years have passed like a white horse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The pines and cypresses in the royal mausoleum have grown luxuriantly and lushly. Moss has also crawled all over our tombs.

The face of the dynasty has also become very different from that of our lifetime. Everything from the bureaucracy to the tax system, from architectural styles to popular styles of clothing for men and women, is constantly changing.

Liu Shen and my great-grandson inherited the throne at the age of 15 and became the new monarchs of the country. This Taiping monarch, who grew up in the era of peace, did not know how to control the fierce force of the army, nor how to skillfully control this double-edged sword, so that it could only defend peace, not become a threat to peace. Although his grandfather and father reminded him of his teachings, his understanding of them was, after all, only at the theoretical level, and he had never had practical experience. He also genuinely disliked dealing with these rude people in the army. What he really likes is to chant poetry, to participate in Zen and enlightenment, and to be the wind and snow. He was a very elegant and literary emperor, with a sensitive and weak heart of a literati.

His dislike of the army and his inconsiderate handling of military affairs gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the army leaders. The conspiracy against the emperor was once again brewing in the army.

In the 11th year after our great-grandson succeeded to the throne, the leader of the Han army repeated his old trick and invited the young emperor to a military parade and hunt. The vigilant minister told the emperor the story of Yang Biao's rebellion, and suggested that the emperor should learn from Liu Shen and not go to the military camp in person. However, the young emperor believed that the army would not be so stupid, and the tricks that had already failed, would be repeated. He felt that Liu Shen's scheming was not the right way for you. Although he did not say this out of filial piety, he clearly expressed his unwillingness to deceive the leaders of the army.

The ministers repeatedly advised him to no avail, so they had no choice but to go with him.

The young emperor led his wife and concubine to the outskirts of Gyeonggi for a military parade in high spirits, and following the advice of the army leader, he went to the royal enclosure to hunt after the parade.

The beauties of the harem, who have never been to the hunting ground, were very happy when they heard that they could participate in the hunting and go to the Qingliangshan Palace to escape the summer, and there was laughter and laughter in the harem. Fortunately, the young crown prince's biological mother, Concubine Xiangui, was more sober-minded, and she tactfully persuaded the emperor to agree on the grounds that the crown prince had been in poor health recently and had frequent diarrhea, and this time she left the prince in Yunjing and did not go with him.

It was this suggestion that saved the dynasty from overthrowing, allowing the life of the dynasty established by Liu Shen to last for another four or five years.

Tragedy happened. The young emperor was in the middle of a hunt and a feast with the Han generals when he was poisoned by the increasingly powerful and dissident Han generals. After the banquet, he returned to his camp tent, felt very unwell, and summoned the imperial doctors to come over for treatment, and the imperial doctors, who had long been controlled by the army, said that the emperor should have accidentally eaten poisonous mushrooms during the banquet just now, and now the poison has penetrated into the body and cannot be cured.

The dying emperor suddenly woke up to the fact that his army had betrayed the king, and they had poisoned him. However, it is too late to repent. The poison spread rapidly through his body, and soon, his tongue became black and stiff, unable to utter a single sentence. When the accompanying concubines heard the bad news, they rushed to the throne and knelt in front of the emperor's bed in the tent crying, panicking. In the chaos, the emperor saw that there was only air out, no air intake. The doctors pretended to be in a hurry to treat them, but in the end, they were ineffective. Dragged on late at night, the young emperor was already blackened, and finally unwillingly left his wife and son and swallowed his last breath.

The accompanying officials rushed to mourn.

Everyone saw that the emperor's whole body was blackened, and many people secretly exchanged glances, each suspecting the cause of the emperor's death, but the leader of the military had already made a sudden incident, and the fear of defense had become a reason, so he mobilized heavy troops and controlled the Imperial Forest Army, and surrounded the entire palace and the emperor's big tent on the inside and outside three layers. In the face of dense layers of torches and snow-bright swords, many ministers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Wei Yingzhen, the descendant of Wei Guoqing and the imperial historian, had an upright temperament, and was not accustomed to seeing the ministers greedy for life and fear of death, so he succumbed to the violent coercion of the army, stepped forward, and loudly questioned how the emperor was poisoned, pointing out that the symptoms of the emperor's poisoning were obviously not wild mushroom poisoning, but the manifestation of arsenic poisoning, and the mushroom soup that everyone drank in a pot, why was everyone safe, only the emperor would be poisoned? Obviously, someone had done something to the emperor's imperial tableware beforehand!

Many ministers thought that Wei Yingzhen had told the truth, and some ministers stood up to support Wei Yingzhen's questioning. Zheng Guifei, who was favored by the emperor who accompanied her, also did not believe that the emperor died of mushroom poisoning, and also questioned it as the main mother, asking the army to thoroughly investigate the truth about the emperor's violent death.

Seeing that the situation was about to become complicated and out of control, the army leaders felt that they would not be able to deter the government and the opposition if they did not give these literati and women a little color.

Without doing anything, he came up with vicious methods.

Wei Yingzhen questioned repeatedly, and before the words fell, the leader of the army walked straight to him, looking at the murderous aura on the face of the army leader, Wei Yingzhen thought that he would push himself and move roughly, Wei Yingzhen was burly, and he had also learned some Tai Chi tricks, and he thought that he would not suffer in the physical conflict, so he was not afraid and did not take a step back. However, everyone never expected that after the army leader approached Wei Yingzhen, he didn't say a word, he pulled out the Gino scimitar on his waist, and chopped Wei Yingzhen to the ground with one knife, Wei Yingzhen fell to the ground, his limbs twitched, and blood flowed all over the ground. The ministers and concubines in the tent were greatly frightened, and the women screamed and fled one after another. Wei Yingzhen, who was suddenly attacked, fell to the ground, knowing that he had no life, but Geng was upright and did not change, pointing at the leader of the army, and still scolding with blood in his mouth, shouting that the army was rebelling, and shouting King Qin! So, the leader of the army took another step forward, stepped Wei Yingzhen under his riding boots, and slashed at his neck with a knife. Two seconds later, Wei Yingzhen's body was in a different place, and the scolding stopped abruptly. His head rolled to the side, but his eyes remained wide as he glared at his killer.

The leader of the army stepped on Wei Yingzhen's corpse and said: "The emperor unfortunately died by eating mushrooms by mistake, and the collective diagnosis and treatment of the Tai Hospital are undoubtedly conclusive. (To be continued.) )
