In the Qiguang Palace, the eunuchs and palace ladies lined up, and the Emperor Xiaozhuang and the Empress both sat on the imperial bed, looking out of the hall one by one, as if they were waiting for someone. After a while, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to the outside of the hall and knelt down to report: "Qiqi Sheng, King Erzhu is already at the inner gate, and he will be in front of the palace immediately." ”

Emperor Xiaozhuang and Empress Erzhu hurriedly tidied up their clothes and prepared to welcome Erzhu Rong. The Son of Heaven greets the courtiers, and the general trend is inevitable. Even the emperor has to look up to people, not to mention the eunuchs and palace maids in this palace, all of them are waiting for Er Zhurong respectfully.

The author adds the origin of this Empress Erzhu, after Emperor Xiaozhuang was embraced by Er Zhu Rong, Emperor Ming's original concubine Er Zhu Ying'e was Er Zhurong's eldest daughter, after the death of Emperor Ming, Er Zhu Ying'e was forced by Empress Dowager Hu to cut her hair as a nun, and then Er Zhurong led the troops into Beijing to kill Hu, and then set up a new monarch. Take this hard-working eldest daughter out of the nunnery, and give it to Emperor Xiaozhuang as the queen, you see the common wife between the royal cousins, which is also a malpractice carried forward by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Seeing Er Zhurong leading a group of civil and military generals, rushing in from a distance, Er Zhurong laughed while pointing and pointing, this royal court is like Yecheng's own back garden, coming and going freely.

Entering the hall, Er Zhurong glanced at Emperor Xiaozhuang, raised his hand slightly, and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty." Emperor Xiaozhuang hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up and excuse me." Then he said to the eunuch on the side, "Come on, sit down." ”

Er Zhurong sat on the throne of Jinhua, and Emperor Xiaozhuang and Empress Erzhu were on the royal bed, and the three of them had nothing to say for a while, and Er Zhurong looked down on himself as the emperor's son-in-law. Emperor Xiaozhuang was trembling at Er Zhurong and didn't know what to say. Erzhu Ying'e has a lot of things to say to her father, but she can't say it because of the etiquette rules in the palace. The slightly embarrassing atmosphere of the three of them was still broken by Er Zhurong.

Princess Mingyue, the daughter of Emperor Xiaozhuang, is only fourteen years old this year, she is petite and exquisite, with a beautiful posture, and ten slender jade fingers like tender onions are placed in front of her, which makes people can't help but want to step forward to play. This princess is not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the handkerchief writing is very beautiful.

At this moment, Princess Mingyue was also sitting on the side to accompany her, and the more Er Zhurong looked at it, the more he liked it, so he asked Emperor Xiaozhuang: "Who is this?" So beautiful? ”

Emperor Xiaozhuang hurriedly replied: "This is Princess Mingyue, I arranged for her to welcome the prime minister's triumphant return here today." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess." Er Zhurong got up and walked towards the princess. This Princess Mingyue heard that Er Zhurong was ferocious and violent, especially the killing of courtiers, and the palace maids portrayed him as a hellish Yama, at this moment, Princess Mingyue looked at Er Zhurong with a big beard, a burly body, and a reckless temperament. Trembling with fright, he looked at Emperor Xiaozhuang, his eyes were full of horror and distress.

Er Zhu Rong came to the princess, reached out and grabbed one of her little hands, pulled it over, and laughed loudly: "Haha, the princess is so beautiful, the old man is very tempted to see it." He turned back to Emperor Xiaozhuang and said, "May the emperor be perfect." After speaking, he wanted to pull the little princess Mingyue, who was already scared and almost paralyzed on the ground, to find a secluded place to do things.

Emperor Xiaozhuang was embarrassed and angry by Er Zhurong at this time, and the old man wanted to his daughter, what kind of is this Nima? Since ancient times, there have been many obscene rumors, the Northern Wei Dynasty belonged to the Xianbei state, the people were generous and casual, the brother died and the sister-in-law married the brother-in-law, or the father died, and the concubines could be inherited by the son. However, since Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved south to the Central Plains, the influence of Han culture on the whole country is huge, and the royal family and nobles have gradually learned the etiquette, righteousness and shame of the Han people. But Emperor Xiaozhuang couldn't accept it, he was educated in orthodox Confucianism.

Emperor Xiaozhuang looked at Empress Zhu Ying'e with a bitter and hateful face, this Zhu Ying'e was a woman, she didn't dare to disobey her father's order, and she didn't want the emperor to be wronged, so she had to say: "If my father likes Mingyue, you can let me dress her up and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night." ”

Er Zhurong laughed with great satisfaction: "It's so good, or the queen knows the old man's thoughts." ”

Emperor Xiaozhuang dared to be angry at this time, and there were soldiers with knives standing outside the door, all of whom were Er Zhurong's personal guards. Er Zhurong knew that the emperor would have to set up a banquet to entertain him at night, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he got up to say goodbye, and there was a princess to sleep with him this night, which was a pleasant thing to think about, but he had an inexplicable impulse in his mind to find a woman......

Emperor Xiaozhuang watched Er Zhurong lead people away, and when he saw that he was far away, he turned around and scolded Ying'e, who was sharing a house: "Your father is really a good father, and he still wants my daughter to accompany him in his fifties, am I the emperor?" Do I still have the dignity of an emperor? You're not a good thing either, with your father having a nose out of the air. "Emperor Xiaozhuang is going crazy.

Seeing that his scolding was ugly, Erzhu Ying'e also frowned and replied: "Your seat was given by my father, what does he want or can you stop it?" One day he rises up, and perhaps he will go to you and take his place. "This really shouldn't be said by Zhu Ying'e, you don't comfort the emperor to persuade peace, but instead add fuel to the fire and talk nonsense, isn't this adding to the chaos, after all, she is just a woman.

Emperor Xiaozhuang's heart was shocked when he heard this, what Empress Erzhu said was really true, the temperament of the king of Yama when Erzhu Rong killed the courtiers before was deeply imprinted in the emperor's heart, and now this hidden fear gradually became a kind of murderous intention, a kind of urgency that must be killed must not be killed.

In the evening, I will prepare a feast for Er Zhurong, and I will send your daughter over to accompany you. The more Emperor Xiaozhuang thought about it, the more angry he became, so he took Er Zhu Ying'e to prepare a costume for Princess Mingyue, and the others were busy with the banquet, secretly summoning his henchmen and eunuchs over, wanting to poison Er Zhurong's wine and food at night.

Let's go back and say that this Erzhu took his henchmen and generals to wander around in the palace, and walked to a palace near the room, only to hear the sound of chanting from inside, Erzhurong is very curious, how can there be people chanting and worshiping Buddha in this palace, so he pushed the door in, only to see that the furnishings in this room are simple, even a little deserted, a beautiful young woman is kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with her back to herself at the moment, Erzhurong stepped forward and asked loudly: "Who are you, chanting here?" ”

The beautiful woman was startled by Er Zhurong's loud voice, and turned around to see who was presumptuous here, and looked up to see that it was a bearded man with a fierce face who was staring at her for a moment...... of the chest. The beautiful woman was a little annoyed and angry, and asked angrily, "Bold maniac, who are you presumptuous here?" Don't know who I am? ”

Erzhu Zhongyuan, who was behind Erzhurong, came in and said: "This is our Erzhu Heavenly King, who has just returned from a triumphant victory over Nanliang, who dare to speak to our Heavenly King like this?" ”

When the beautiful woman heard that it was the murder demon Er Zhurong who came, she secretly said bad in her heart, so she hurriedly committed herself to a blessing and said: "It turned out to be the Prime Minister, I am the concubine of Emperor Ming, and I chanted and prayed here after the death of Emperor Ming." ”

Er Zhurong didn't care about Emperor Ming's concubine at this time, his mind was only the infinite spring light of this beautiful woman who was stripped naked and thrown on the couch, staring at Concubine Yi with green light in his eyes, and waved his hand behind him: "You all go outside and wait, I have something to say to this Concubine Yi." ”

Er Zhu Zhongyuan retreated very knowingly, and closed the door with a smile on his face before leaving.

I heard Concubine Yi in the palace shouting that the prime minister couldn't help it, the prime minister was self-respecting, and then there was a sound of tears in her clothes, Concubine Yi screamed for a while, and there was no movement inside, everyone waited outside the door for half a cup of tea, only to see that as soon as the door opened, Er Zhurong came out with his chest exposed, and while lifting his pants, he scolded in his mouth: "It's really a disappointment, his mother just started to faint, like a dead fish, it spoiled the old man's interest, damn." After saying that, he took a sip, got dressed and took the person away.

After a long while, this concubine Yi woke up leisurely, got up from the couch naked, put on her clothes and pants with tears on her face, and asked the little eunuch outside the door to tell Emperor Xiaozhuang about it. This has become one of the irreconcilable contradictions between Er Zhurong and Emperor Xiaozhuang.

In the evening, Er Zhurong was drunk and unconscious because he was already drunk in the army, so he didn't come to Emperor Xiaozhuang's dinner, which was considered to be Er Zhurong's life, but it was bad news for Emperor Xiaozhuang. In order to be afraid of long nights and dreams, he couldn't do anything and then tried another plan: when Er Zhurong came to greet the princess the next day, he would send someone to poison him and kill him on the occasion of the banquet.

At noon the next day, Zhu Rong woke up, pushed away the two naked palace maids on the left and right, and got up from the couch. These two palace maids are also quite attractive, and they were caught by Er Zhuzhao when he was drinking yesterday to give Er Zhurong a fire. This night, Er Zhurong, who was in his fifties, was like a young man who tossed all night, making the two palace maids dead and alive, and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

Outside the door, Zhu Zhongyuan asked the attendant softly: "Hasn't the prime minister gotten up yet?" ”

Er Zhurong changed into clothes in the house and asked, "Who is outside the door?" ”

"Back to the Heavenly King, I'm Zhongyuan, haven't you gotten up yet?" Er Zhu Zhongyuan asked respectfully.

"Is there something wrong with you?" With the help of the maid, Er Zhurong tidied up his clothes and hats and prepared to go out.

"Back to the words of the King of Heaven, the emperor will give a banquet to the ministers in the Qiguang Hall today, and he wants to congratulate the King of Heaven." Er Zhu Zhongyuan said the emperor's meaning euphemistically, to the effect that he would give a banquet to the ministers in the Qiguang Hall today, one is to celebrate the great victory in the south, and the other is to congratulate the princess on marrying Er Zhurong.

As soon as Er Zhurong heard that it was really a good thing, he took Er Zhu Zhongyuan and others to the banquet alone, which was also the day to kill him Er Zhurong, the emperor poisoned him with wine, and let his henchmen and eunuchs hide with a knife in the hidden wall, and waited for Er Zhurong to be poisoned and went forward to kill this grandson with a knife.

Er Zhurong was very interested at the banquet, ate a lot of dishes, drank a lot of wine, and died of poison after a while, this Er Zhu Zhao and Er Zhu Zhong saw that Er Zhurong was dead, and they wanted to escape from the palace at the moment, and placed a lot of eunuchs with knives to kill a few of them, do you think this eunuch is the opponent of the people who came out of these battle arrays? The rise of Erzhu Zhao's killing, chased to the palace, and hacked Emperor Xiaozhuang, who was hiding under the imperial bed, to death together, and escaped from the palace in chaos. Erzhu Zhao fled back to his fiefdom and state, and Erzhu Zhongyuan defected to his brother Erzhu Dulu in Northern Xuzhou.

Er Zhurong's death was a major blow to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the area originally controlled by Er Zhurong was once again reduced to a battlefield of warlords, and the people of the world who had just seen a glimmer of peace were once again reduced to slaves of darkness. That's for later.

Er Zhu Rong died in September of the third year of Yong'an, and the people of the Erzhu family took Er Zhu Zhao and Er Zhu Zhongyuan, as well as Erzhu Tianguang in Guanzhong, as the three cores, and each of them fought the world and became a battlefield again.
