Yang Kun came to Wang Seng Bian's camp, privately found Yang Tan and Yang Qiu, and told him the original plan of the two, the three brothers discussed how to let Wang Seng Bian retreat, and then let Hou Jing himself coax, Yang Tan was very worried and said to Yang Kun: "General Wang will definitely not retreat easily, not to mention that now he has won a lot of victories, let him stop the attack at this time for fear that he will suspect us." ”

Yang Kun nodded and said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, I think Mingli will never agree to tell him, it's better like this, you go and get his barracks deployment map, I will take it back and hand it to Hou Jing, let Hou Jing break Wang Seng Bian first, and then you will see the actions of Jiankang in my opinion, let's see the opportunity to eliminate Hou Jing in one fell swoop, what do you think?" ”

Yang Tan and Yang Qiu immediately agreed to this idea, in fact, even if they didn't carry out Wang Seng Bian's military deployment, with Hou Jing's ability, there was every hope of annihilating them, but with this deployment map, first, it could reduce Hou Jing's losses, and second, it could make Hou Jing trust Yang Kun more from now on, and he could speed up the pace of penetrating into the enemy.

Wang Seng Bian was inexplicably defeated by Song Zixian and Guo Yuanjian, but fortunately Xiao Duo's reserve army was stationed in Beixin Cai County, which prevented them from being defeated for thousands of miles, but Wang Seng Bian, who lost this battle, was very aggrieved in his heart, obviously he had an advantage all the way, how did he let Hou Jing's rebels find their weaknesses, and they also broke through one by one.

So the armies on both sides engaged in a tug-of-war in the area of Huoqiu in Yingshang, and no one could go any further and confronted each other. In this way, in the winter of this year, a shocking news came from Taicheng: Xiao Yan was killed. This incident is a fate-changing event for Xiao Duo and Hou Jing, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Gao Huan in the north.

Xiao Yan's killing also started with Princess Luyang's pregnancy. In the second month after Hou Jing and the princess got married, Princess Luyang had a pregnancy reaction, which made Hou Jing, who was old and had a child, ecstatic, fifteen-year-old girls are indeed easy to get pregnant, Hou Jing also thought that it was because he was old and strong, and as soon as the news of Princess Luyang's pregnancy broke, the whole Jiankang began to be clouded.

Why did it turn into a gloomy mist when it was a happy event, and listen to me slowly.

Xiao Yan was drinking porridge in the cold palace, the Queen Mother happily cut the fabric and prepared the silk thread, and he asked very strangely: "Didn't that Hou Jing send you some clothes a while ago, why are you not enough to wear?" The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The mourning family is not for themselves. Xiao Yan said angrily: "Don't give me any tidying up, I don't need those things." There are so many old clothes that I can't wear anymore. The Queen Mother glanced at him and said: "You are less self-indulgent, the mourning family is preparing for our eldest grandson who is about to be born." ”

"What! What did you say! Xiao Yan threw down the dishes and chopsticks, surprise and anger were written on her face, the Queen Mother felt that she had lost her words, and quickly bowed her head and said, "No, it's nothing." You eat yours. Xiao Yan was so angry that he scolded the street: "You can all think that I am old and confused? What do you want to hide from me now? You haven't recruited it yet! The Queen Mother couldn't hide it, so she had to tell him about Princess Luyang's pregnancy, Xiao Yan was really bitter when she heard about it, her flower-like daughter was pregnant by Hou Jing's lame donkey, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel sorry. The hatred for Hou Jing in his heart added another three points.

Xiao Zhengde's palace is not far from Hou Jing's bedroom, so when the news came out of the Tai Hospital, he was the first to know, and Xiao Zhengde went back with joy to tell the queen about it, and sent someone to the cold palace to tell the queen mother about it. Wei Liu, the eunuch who served him, was the old servant who stayed by his side when he was the marquis, Wei Liu was worried and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how many words does the old slave have that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Xiao Zhengde said happily: "If you have something to say, I am now the time to be proud of the spring breeze, and you had better pick something happy to say." Wei Liu hurriedly refilled him with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is also a pleasure for the old slave to say this. Xiao Zhengde then nodded and said, "What's the matter, you say it." Wei Liu then stood up and said, "The old slave heard a joke today, saying that the reason why Lu Bu wanted to kill Dong Zhuo back then was because Diao Chan was pregnant. ”

Xiao Zhengde didn't understand the joke, so he asked, "What's so funny about this?" I think even if Diao Chan is not pregnant, Lu Bu will kill Dong Zhuo. Wei Liu didn't answer his words, but continued: "As we all know, Dong Zhuo has no heirs, maybe Lu Bu thinks that if Diao Chan really gives birth to Dong Zhuo, it will endanger his position in the future, so he simply strikes first." ”

Xiao Zhengde suddenly stopped talking when he heard this, what he is best at is figuring out other people's thoughts, and then acting on his own, the thing Wei Liu said seems to be a bit similar to his current situation, but he still asked knowingly: "Wei Liu, what do you want to tell me in this story?" Wei Liu hurriedly put down the wine jug and knelt down and said: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave just thinks that giving birth to a child may be a happy thing in ordinary people's homes, but it may not be the case in the emperor's family, and it may even lead to death." ”

Xiao Zhengde said angrily: "Bold Wei Liu, bewitching the public, don't let me go down, I don't want to see you again." Wei Liu was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy and retreated. Xiao Zhengde drank alcohol alone in the palace, thinking about everything Wei Liu said just now, as he said, if Hou Jing had an heir, he would have the idea of usurping power and seeking the throne, which was contrary to his original purpose of trying his best to win him over to keep his throne.

It's completely wrong, things can't go that way, but what should he do now? Xiao Zhengde pondered for a long time all night and still had no clue, so he had to call Wei Liu again, and he deliberately asked: "I listened to your story last night, and I want to know how this Dong Zhuo can solve that crisis?" When Wei Liuyi heard this, he quickly leaned over and whispered: "This matter is actually not difficult, just let the Emperor Taishang set up a handwritten photo, and after a hundred years, the throne will only be passed on to you." Xiao Zhengde looked at him a little dissatisfied and asked, "Aren't you talking nonsense, I am the emperor now, why do you want him to correct my name?" ”

Wei Liu said mysteriously: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, your throne was nominated by Hou Jing and them, and it was not recognized by the Xiao royal family, and your reputation may be questioned in the future, but fortunately, now that the Emperor Taishang is still here, we still have a chance." Xiao Zhengde didn't speak, held his chin and began to think.

In the end, he could only go to Xiao Yan to discuss according to Wei Liu's intentions, to see if he could leave a posthumous photo for himself in advance, who knew that Xiao Yan was so angry that he scolded: "You are a wolf with ambition, being the acting emperor for a few days is like coveting my throne, I tell you, this throne will never be yours, this throne will one day return to the hands of the prince, don't be delusional, and want me to leave you a posthumous photo, you think beautiful!" Xiao Zhengde's face was red and white when he was scolded, and finally completely destroyed his hope, he said to Xiao Yan viciously: "Okay, very good, don't be arrogant now, wait, let's see." After speaking, he turned around and left, and behind him, Xiao Yan picked up the teapot and threw it at his back and said loudly: "Get out!" , something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs. I thought I had a dog in the first place! ”

Xiao Yan's complete non-cooperation exceeded Xiao Zhengde's expectations, if he refused to leave a posthumous photo for himself to prove, then what other way could he keep his throne? Xiao Zhengde spent the whole day thinking hard about the solution, but it is a pity that when people reach the end of the road, even the mirror of wisdom is covered with dirt, and they can't think normally at all. Wei Liu lost no time in offering advice to Xiao Zhengde: "Your Majesty, do you remember how the Emperor Taishang ascended to the Great Treasure in the first place? When Xiao Zhengde heard this, he recalled the history of the founding of the Southern Liang Dynasty that he heard from Taishi Ling at that time. Xiao Yan was a nobleman of the Southern Qi Dynasty back then, and later Xiao Luan of the Shu clan of the Southern Qi Dynasty took power and seized the throne, massacring the nobles of the Xiao family, and he even killed each other just to keep his emperor's throne. Xiao Yan raised troops to take advantage of the situation to exterminate him, and killed all of him and his sons and grandsons.

Xiao Zhengde didn't understand what Wei Liu meant by this, so he asked: "I'm in turmoil at the moment, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say it directly, don't go around the bend with me." Wei Liu then leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty wants to keep his position for a long time, and the only way to do this is to kill those who may threaten his position in the future." Xiao Zhengde was also smart and confused for a while, and he actually listened to a castrated bad idea when he was in a panic, he thought that he was going to kill the prince and Xiao Yan. Wei Liu meant that it was enough to kill the child in Princess Luyang's womb. The two of them played dumb riddles and talked about things, and finally made an inexplicable unjust case in history.

That night, Xiao Zhengde asked the leader of the palace forbidden army to lead people to surround the cold palace without thinking about it, and then sent people to strangle Xiao Yan and the queen mother, and Xiao Yan, a generation of overlords, hastily withdrew from the stage of history. When Wei Liu and others were about to go to the East Palace to find the prince Xiao Gang, Hou Jing hurriedly arrived with a large number of forbidden troops, Wei Liu was so frightened that he shivered aside, the leader of the palace forbidden army and those accomplices were all arrested and beheaded on the spot, and Wei Liu was personally stabbed by the angry Hou Jing.

Xiao Zhengde was still waiting for Wei Liu's good news in the palace at this time, and at this moment his mood was very worried, pacing back and forth, and even the queen was worried with him, although the queen didn't know what Xiao Zhengde was worried about. Suddenly, someone reported: "Taifu has arrived." "Is this the courtesy that a minister should have for the emperor? Anyway, the era when you sang and I appeared on the stage was really chaotic, and the monarch was not the monarch and the ministers were not ministers.

Xiao Zhengde was shocked, and then pretended to be calm and got up to meet Hou Jing, at this time, Hou Jing had already lined up with a large number of warriors and entered the palace directly. Xiao Zhengde was about to ask him what was the matter, but he saw Hou Jing with an angry face, threw a head at his feet, and said with a calm face: "Emperor, you have done a good thing!" ”

The queen screamed, she was already frightened, Xiao Zhengde carefully identified the head of the person on the ground, it turned out to be Wei Liu. At this time, he said in horror: "Taifu, you listen to me explain to you, things are not what you think. At this moment, Zhang Huaren brought someone in and whispered a few words in Hou Jing's ear, and Hou Jing was even more furious: "You still explain a fart, you have done away with the Emperor and the Queen Mother, what a big boldness!" Xiao Zhengde still had to explain something, but unfortunately the knife in Hou Jing's hand was no longer listening to him, and it stabbed directly into Xiao Zhengde's heart.

Xiao Zhengde's eyes widened and he didn't blink, he never thought that he had only been the emperor for eight months and was killed by Hou Jing like this, his heart was full of dissatisfaction and grievances, but he still died after all.

Hou Jing sat on the steps in front of the emperor's dragon chair in a daze, now Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhengde are dead, what should I do next? How to explain this coup d'état with Xiao Duo. This is Ren Yue and Zhang Huaren are by his side, Hou Jing felt that these two people really had no talent, so he sent someone to call Song Zixian and Guo Yuanjian back overnight to discuss.

Song Zixian and Guo Yuanjian hurried back from the front line, and after learning about this incident, Song Zixian was the first to stand up and say: "Taifu, as the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, since the emperor Taishang and Xiao Zhengde are dead, we can only pretend to be the emperor's posthumous photo to quickly set up a new monarch, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives." Hou Jing looked at him and asked, "Then who should the new monarch appoint?" Song Zixian and Guo Yuanjian glanced at each other, and then said, "What about Taifu?" Hou Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, if I ascend the throne, then it will really become a usurper, so this time the matter must be counted on my head?"
