(a)
However, the partition wall has ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This scolding of the little emperor at night was heard by the eyes of the army leader in the palace. In the evening of the second day, Eyeliner found an opportunity to deliver this important news to the army leader.
When the leader of the army heard that the little emperor was so cruel that he would kill his whole family when he grew up, he was shocked on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was furious, and he couldn't imagine that this little thing was ungrateful and had such a resolute and vicious heart. Although the emperor was still young and had no ability to use his hands for the time being, he was still frightened and restless all day long. I slept until the third watch at night and woke up from a nightmare. He got up and walked around the stairs, unable to sleep again. So he summoned his cronies and held a meeting late at night to discuss. The cronies all know the truth about the death of the former emperor and the truth of the scandal of the former queen mother, and know that the little emperor will definitely be able to verify these two evil deeds in the future, and revenge is a thunder that will come sooner or later, so they persuaded him not to raise a tiger legacy, it is better to kill the little emperor and ascend the throne and claim the emperor openly.
The instigation of his cronies ignited his lust for power. He made up his mind to openly rebel and plot to usurp the throne.
Early the next morning, the leader of the army led the Imperial Forest Army into the palace, surrounded the imperial city, and despite the dissuasion of the chamberlain, marched straight into the emperor's bedroom, dragged the little emperor off the bed, and pushed him to the ground.
The little emperor saw that he was uncharacteristically hideous, and asked him in horror what he wanted.
He sneered: "Good emperor, I call my father-in-law on weekdays, but in private he wants to kill my whole family!" I work hard every day to manage the country's affairs, save the country from danger, and take care of His Majesty's mother and son, should I end up like this? ”
He said to the little emperor: "You are so cruel to your ministers, and when you grow up in the future, you will definitely hide all the birds and hide the rabbits and dead dogs, and you will not tolerate those of us who have helped you." Helping you will only dig your own grave and die out! A bad boy like you is not only unworthy of being the emperor, but also unworthy of living in this world! ”
Without waiting for the little emperor to speak, he ordered to step forward left and right.
The retinue of the Imperial Forest Army suddenly rushed up like wolves and tigers, like eagles catching chickens, firmly grasped the little emperor, held down his hands and feet, forcibly pried open his mouth, and poured the poisoned wine prepared in advance into his mouth. The little emperor cried and struggled for a while, and then he bled and died.
The usurper ordered all the entourage around the little emperor to be dragged out and beheaded, and for a while the palace was full of wails and rivers. The long-term follower who reported the truth to the little emperor also ended up in a different place.
After the mutation of the palace, the usurper rang the bell and ascended to the court, announcing that the eunuchs under the little emperor had a grudge against the emperor, took revenge on personal vendettas, and collectively poisoned the little emperor with poisoned wine while the little emperor was sleeping.
When the officials heard the thunderbolt on a sunny day when the emperor had died, they all felt that something was sudden, and there must be something strange in it, but seeing the swords of the Royal Forest Army around the main hall unsheathed, murderous, thinking of Wei Yingzhen's fate back then, they didn't dare to ask questions openly.
Because the little emperor is young, although he is already married, and there are queen concubines in the palace, but there is no son, according to the rules, a new emperor will be selected among the princes of the clan. In the end, most of the officials elected Prince Zaixi, the descendant of King Luling. The hundred officials went to the Luling Palace, and jointly welcomed Prince Zaixi into the palace.
This Prince Zaixi was a world-famous poet at that time, he could write poetry at the age of three, he could be endowed at the age of five, he was smart and talented, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune, hated officialdom, and never had a desire for power. After Prince Jae-hee was welcomed into the palace by hundreds of officials in a panic, he suddenly changed his face when he learned the cause and effect. With his cleverness, he immediately guessed that it was the little emperor who offended the regent and the two kings, and like the previous emperor, he was murdered by the army. He knew that the army absolutely did not want to give up the throne to himself, but he was forced by public opinion to make an appearance, if he dared to really accept the welcome and ascend the throne as the emperor, soon after, the end would be exactly the same as the father and son of the previous emperor, even if he could be spared death, he could only swallow his anger on the throne, obey the words of the regent, and be careful every day to avoid his suspicion and suspicion, such an emperor, even if he was done, what was the interest! Therefore, he made up his mind, resolutely resigned from the throne on the spot, and prostrated on the ground in public, declaring that the regents were unparalleled in virtue and talent, and were deeply loved by the subjects of the government and the opposition, and governed the country and the army well, and were really the lords of the world to whom the providence belonged, and implored the regents to ascend the throne and open a new dynasty. After speaking, Prince Jae-hee threw himself to the ground and shouted Long live the emperor.
As a result, many civil and military ministers came out to respond to the peace, kneeling to ask the regent to ascend the throne and call the emperor, and open a new dynasty.
After the usurper thanked him repeatedly, he finally pretended to accept the public recommendation of everyone and reluctantly accepted the public recommendation, ascended the throne in the Wuying Palace, and announced his ascension to the throne as emperor.
Because Prince Jae-hee is very acquainted, and the poems are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, killing him, the world will inevitably criticize and write, the usurper decided to let Prince Jae-hee return to the fiefdom to continue to write poems, praising the virtue and politics of the new dynasty, but in order to prevent someone from using him to seize power again, he asked Prince Jae-hee to become a monk, and vowed to spend his life for the emperors who died in the previous dynasty to keep the spirits of the emperors who died in the previous dynasty and not to participate in worldly affairs. As soon as Prince Jae-hee agreed, he was ordered to go to the royal temple of the previous dynasty, cut his home at the Theravada Master, and escaped with his life.
He was the famous poet monk who later left his name in history.
One dynasty turned into green smoke, and another dynasty that also turned into green smoke kicked off.
Thus a new page was turned in history.

The usurpation of the regent kings aroused strong fear and fierce resistance in the Liu family, and many children surnamed Liu felt that once the dynasty changed, whether they resisted or not, the usurper would kill the children of the Liu family.
As a result, the children surnamed Liu from all over the country raised troops one after another, denounced the traitors, and called on King Qin to restore the dynasty surnamed Liu. The coalition forces were huge, with Huaizhou as the command center, gathering forces from all over the country and rushing straight to Yunjing.
An unprecedented fierce battle took place between the coalition forces surnamed Liu and the Han army led by the usurper on the outskirts of Yunjing, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides, razing many surrounding villages to the ground, and littering farmland with the corpses of civilians and soldiers on both sides.
After three months of the General Assembly, the allied army surnamed Liu was defeated, defeated by the Han army, and scattered and fled. The rebellion surnamed Liu was suppressed in this way.
After the battle, the emperor of the new dynasty carried out a massacre throughout the country to purge the clan surnamed Liu. The Liu clan in Yunjing, regardless of whether they participated in the rebellion or not, the mansion was surrounded, and the soldiers rushed into the house with knives and killed anyone they saw, regardless of men, women, old and children, regardless of whether they were green or red, and suddenly, the streets and alleys of Yunjing were full of blood, and everywhere were the screams of women, the cries of children, and the screams of the slaughtered. Many alleys are lit up red.
However, before ordering the massacre, the usurper also issued a special decree to pardon the founder of this army, who had been passed on to the descendants of the original Liu surname of Cui Jinglong, the king of Lingnan and the god of war of the previous dynasty, because they were no longer the children of the Liu family, but the descendants of the Cui family. The Imperial Forest Army sent a guard to guard the entrances and exits on both sides of the alley where the Lingnan Palace, and held the emperor's edict to prevent the red-eyed rebels from approaching the Lingnan Palace.
At first, the people of the Lingnan palace thought that they would be in danger of disaster in this great chaos, and the whole family, men, women, children, and many male and female servants gathered together, holding all kinds of weapons that could be found, waiting for the rebels to break in, trying to fight with the rebels. Listening to the sound of chaos in the house next door, the whole family spent a long dark night in horror. The next day, the rebels returned to the camp, the killing stopped, and the Imperial Forest Army at the entrance of the alley also withdrew, before leaving, the leader of the Royal Forest Army came to knock on the door, and explained to the then King of Lingnan the will of the new emperor to pardon the clan surnamed Cui, and left the new emperor's edict to him as a talisman to save his life, and then led the team back to the palace to restore his life. The Lingnan King immediately led his sons into the palace, thanked the new emperor for his kindness, swore allegiance to the new dynasty, and was a loyal subject of the new dynasty, and voluntarily led the whole family to move out of Yunjing and return to the remote Lingnan fiefdom. His request was granted by the new emperor.
Since then, Cui Chengzhi's clan has gradually moved away from the Middle Earth of East Asia in order to escape the disaster, and they have developed southward, branched out, slowly migrated to Southeast Asia, and then continued westward, and finally crossed the Arab region, migrated to Monaco, which is close to the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent to Africa, and settled down, intermarrying with various ethnic groups along the way, and slowly developing into a mixed race.

After the departure of the king of Lingnan and his sons, the usurper sat alone on the emperor's throne, looking at the side seat below the steps, silent for a long time.
The next day, he ordered the removal of the seat under the steps of the Wuying Hall and placed a standing statue of the god of war moved from the temple of the god of war, standing there as the guardian god of the new dynasty.
After the nationwide purge of the killing of the clan relatives surnamed Liu was completed, the usurper decided not to let go of even the tomb of the Liu family.
The soldiers stormed the imperial mausoleum of the Liu dynasty and wreaked havoc, destroying and looting the tombs of Liu Shen's parents, Liu Shen himself, our sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren. Of the devastated cemetery, only one remains intact. This is my mausoleum. Because I was the sister of the god of war Cui Jinglong, I was let go by the rebels, and the tomb was not harassed and looted by them.
So, in the ruins of the royal mausoleum, only the clouds on my tombstone remained, standing silently between the toppled tombstones and the stone men and stone horses that were pushed to smash, and continued to bloom silently in ancient times.
That was the last scene of the last scene of this long story.
As the saying goes: "All those who are ordinary are gone, those who are high will fall, those who are united will be separated, and those who are living will die." ”
"Everything is like a dream, like a dream bubble,
If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed as such. ”
