The prince is very beautiful, but his heart is vicious, Zuo Shi Xiangxu is both afraid and hated of him, and Huiqiang Yier is the prince's inner teacher but is not favored.

In the autumn of 547 BC, guests from the state of Chu visited the state of Jin and passed through the state of Song. The prince asked for a banquet in the field to entertain the guests, and Song Pinggong agreed.

Huiqiang Yier asked Song Pinggong to follow the prince, and Song Pinggong said, "Doesn't he hate you very much? Huiqiang Yier replied awe-inspiringly: "The villain is a gentleman, and he is hated and does not dare to stay away,

How dare you be half-hearted when you are liked and dare not get close to you, and respectfully wait for orders? Even though there were people serving outside the prince, but no one was serving inside, the ministers asked to go. Song Pinggong was moved, so he sent him.

When Huiqiang Yier arrived at the place where the banquet was held, he dug a pit there, of course, he was not digging a stove for cooking, but using a sacrifice on it, and put the book of alliance on the cattle, and after checking it, he rode a horse and galloped to report to Song Pinggong: "The prince is about to make a rebellion, and he has made an alliance with the guests of the state of Chu. ”

Song Pinggong asked: "He is already my heir, what else is he seeking?" Ilr replied, "I just want to take the throne quickly." ”

Song Pinggong then sent people to inspect, and everyone was stolen, and Song Pinggong asked his wife and Xiang Xu, and they all said: "I have indeed heard such a thing." ”

Song Pinggong imprisoned the crown prince. The prince said, "Only Gongzi Zuo can save me from disaster." The prince then summoned Gongzi Zuo to ask Song Pinggong and said, "If you don't come by noon, I know that I am dead." "After Xiang Xu heard about it,

Just chatted with Gongzizuo, and the two of them were talking nonsense. The talk goes on and on. After noon, the prince thought that he should be dead. So he hanged himself, and later Gongzi Zuo was made the crown prince. Song Pinggong slowly learned the hidden secret. and he cooked and killed Huiqiang Er.

Zhu Wen probably didn't listen to much of the other words, but as soon as he heard that he could be the overlord and command other envoys, he was tempted.

So he immediately ordered Liu Xidu and his group to be detained, and at the same time sent Li Zhen to the capital to conspire with Cui Yin on the crusade. However, this time Zhu Wen was a step late. Before he could enter the customs, the court changed again.

Sun Dezhao, the general of the Shence Army, hated the eunuchs for arbitrarily abolishing and insulting the Son of Heaven, and he was so angry that he was used by a handful of people with ulterior motives.

This handful of people with ulterior motives include Cui Yin. Cui Yin then sent his cronie Shi Jian to have a drink with him and play cards or something, and Sun Dezhao often shed tears secretly when he was drunk. At this time, Shi Jian took the opportunity to lobby: "Since the anti-thief Liu Jishu abolished the Son of Heaven, people all over the world have been staring at this matter. Liu Jishu committed a heinous crime, but many people were forced by his authority to do nothing. If you can take the opportunity to kill this traitor and restore the Son of Heaven, you will become famous and go down in history.

But this really can't be delayed, if you don't plan ahead. If you don't say it well, you will be preempted by others. Sun Dezhao was suddenly encouraged, and he was moved to tears, and finally met his bosom friend, you say. What do you want me to do. Shi Jian then told Sun Dezhao about Cui Yin's plan, and Sun Dezhao promised.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Tianfu (901), Wang Zhong first sat in a sedan chair to go to court. When they arrived at Anfumen, the soldiers who had been ambushed in advance moved together. Wang Zhong was about to be beheaded.

Then, Sun Dezhao carried Wang Zhongxian's head. caught the soldiers guarding the Shaoyang Courtyard, and respectfully invited Zhaozong and his wife out of the Shaoyang Courtyard.

Cui Yin helped Zhaozong to climb the Changle Gate Tower, and led the hundred palaces to shout long live and express their blessings. After that, Liu Jishu and Wang Yanfan were arrested together, and the two were beaten to death in front of Changle Gate.

Family members and clansmen were killed. There is a saying in the Bible that says, "Whoever wields the sword will die by the sword." I will add that whoever beats someone to death will surely be beaten to death. Winter seems to have passed, is the spring of Zhaozong coming soon?

After Zhaozong was reinstated, he trusted Cui Yin even more, and the military affairs were fully handled. But the political system can't be changed all at once, after the death of Liu Jishu, as well as the descendants, the power to command the Shence Army is still attributed to the eunuchs.

It's just that this time it was Liu Jishu who was replaced by Han Quanzhu. Han Quanyu is the adopted son of Han Wenyue, who was made a duke by Tang Xizong above. At that time, the eunuchs were extremely afraid of Cui Yin, and they did everything with their orders, no matter how big or small. But once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Cui Yin is a person who has suffered a big loss from eunuchs, and thinks that if the eunuchs are not eradicated, the court will never have peace, and he himself will never have peace, so he will want to punish him to prevent future troubles. When Han Quanzhu heard this, he wept and begged Zhaozong.

Zhaozong said Okay, say it, I'll go back and talk to you about Cui Yin, and then turned around and secretly ordered Cui Yin to seal it with a piece of music in the future, and not to play it orally, so as not to be eavesdropped by the eunuchs. General Secretary Xi told us that striking iron must be its own, and flies do not bite seamless eggs.

I am not afraid that the leader has principles, but I am afraid that the leader has no hobbies. Although Han Quanzhu no longer likes beautiful women, Tang Zhaozong does, so Han Quanzhu sent more than a dozen literate beautiful spies to serve Zhaozong and secretly observe the emperor's every move.

The hard work paid off, and Han Quanzhu finally learned of a shocking conspiracy, which was that Cui Yin wanted to kill all the eunuchs. Han Quanyu then did it, and Cui Yin was in charge of finance at that time.

Han Quanzhu instigated the forbidden army to demonstrate, complained about the reduction of winter clothes and the lack of supply, and sued in front of Tang Zhaozong, asking for Cui Yin's crime. The army can't be chaotic, chaos is a big problem, Tang Zhaozong, who has suffered several times of rebel victims, deeply understands this truth,

As a last resort, he had to remove Cui Yin from his official position. Cui Yin was very angry, so he found foreign aid Zhu Wen, who had long wanted to get involved in court affairs. So soon after getting the book, he led troops into Beijing.

As soon as he heard that Zhu Wen was coming, he hijacked Zhaozong and ran away, and fled to Fengxiang and attached himself to Li Maozhen. When Zhu Wen arrived in Chang'an, he heard that Zhaozong had been robbed, and he persevered, waved his army west, and approached Fengxiang. Han Quanzhu, I am determined to eat you, Zhaozong, I am going to condemn you.

Li Maozhen, a native of Lixian County, Hebei Province, was formerly known as Song Wentong, and was later given the name Li Maozhen by Tang Xizong for his merits. Li Maozhen initially joined the local army like many young people of that era.

But he didn't have a father named Li Gang, nor did he have a relative who was the mayor and director, so no one promoted him. He can only start from the grassroots level and strive upwards step by step. Afterward. Li Maozhen's army was ordered to garrison Fengtian (present-day Qianxian County, Shaanxi), and he was a squad leader in the army.

Later, Huangchao attacked Chang'an. His army was ordered to encircle and suppress Huangchao, and accidentally defeated Huangchao's general Shang Rang, this time Li Maozhen made military achievements and was named the commander of the Shence Army.

In the second year of Guangqi (886), Zhu Mei united with Li Keyong, Wang Chongrong, and Li Changfu, who made Fengxiang Jiedu, oppose Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi fled to Fengxiang with Xizong, and Zhu Mei supported Li Xuan as the emperor, appointed himself as a servant, and arbitrarily ruled the government.

Li Maozhen was the commander of the Shence army. led the department to serve as Tang Xizong's personal bodyguard to resist the pursuit of Zhu Mei's general Wang Xingyu.

Soon, Wang Xingyu defected and killed Zhu Mei, and Li Maozhen was appointed as the envoy of the Wuding Festival because of his merits, that is, this time, he was given the name Li Maozhen by Tang Xizong, and he was also given the word Zhengchen, which means the righteous minister.

Since then, Li Maozhen has relied on the honor and strong strength that these ordinary people do not have. In the third year of Guangqi (887). Tang Xizong returned to Chang'an.

When passing through Fengxiang, Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Changfu lead his troops to intercept it, and clashed with the vanguard of the escort, and Li Changfu's troops were defeated and retreated. Tang Xizong was very angry and asked Li Maozhen to lead the troops to chase after him,

Li Maozhen also did not live up to the expectations of her master. annihilated the remnants of Li Changfu, and by the way, took back Li Changfu's head and dedicated it to Xizong. Tang Xizong Longyan Dayue. Crowned Li Maozhen as the envoy of Fengxiang and Longyoujie. In the first year of Tang Zhaozong's Dashun (890), Li Maozhen was named the king of Longxi County.

Since then, Li Maozhen has regarded Fengxiang as his revolutionary base. We will go all out and take the opportunity to merge with other companies to expand our territory. The eunuch Yang Fugong could not gain a foothold in the imperial court, so he ran to his adopted son Xingyuan Jiedu to make Yang Shouliang and rebelled together. In the first year of Jingfu (892), Li Maozhen conquered Xingyuan Mansion,

Kill Yang Fugong's father and son. Then it annexed Shannan West Road and became the most powerful feudal town in Guanzhong. Then Li Maozhen successively captured Fengzhou (now northwest of Fengxian County, Shaanxi), Yangzhou (now Xixiang, Shaanxi) and Jingyuan (now Jingchuanbei, Gansu).

The power has further expanded. The water flows to the lower place, the people go to the higher place, Li Maozhen is a good comrade who pursues progress, at this time Li Maozhen also began to be dissatisfied with the dominant side, because it was very close to Chang'an, he directed his eyes to the imperial court not far away. In order to consolidate their power, some ministers of the DPRK and China

also flirted with Li Maozhen, secretly sent Qiu Bo, and united him against other ministers, which made Li Maozhen even more arrogant. At that time, Tang Zhaozong had just succeeded to the throne, young and vigorous, and he was very angry when he saw Li Maozhen so invincible.

The edict ordered Li Maozhen to be transferred to Shannan West Province as the envoy of the festival, and the Fengxiang festival envoy was replaced by Xu Yanruo. Li Maozhen refused to take office, and said in the chapter: "I am afraid that in the future, the military situation will change, the army will be difficult to control, and it will only cause the people to suffer. "Intimidation, this is naked intimidation, Tang Zhaozong saw that Li Maozhen was so disrespectful to himself,

Then he summoned the prime minister, Du Rangneng, to discuss how to teach this rebellious minister a lesson. Du Rangneng had led the troops to fight against Li Maozhen, but he took advantage of the excitement and returned defeated, and was scared by Li Maozhen, and now he was scared for a long time when he heard Li Maozhen's name.

So he suggested: "Li Maozhen's forces are strong, we can't deal with it, and Fengxiang is so close to the capital, if the army fails, we won't be able to clean up the mess.

At that time, even if he killed Chao Cuo like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, it would be too late to apologize for the sins of the princes. "It stands to reason that what Du Rang can say is still very pertinent, the enemy is at the doorstep, and if he is not sure, it is easy to lead the wolf into the house and cause trouble.

But Tang Zhaozong did not back down, and shouted at Du Rangneng: "I can't sit weak and suffer his humiliation!" In the second year of Jingfu (893), Zhaozong sent troops to attack Li Maozhen, but was defeated by Li Maozhen. Li Maozhen led the troops to march to Chang'an Xingshi to ask for the guilt, Tang Zhaozong saw that it was too big to play,

hurriedly killed two privy envoys and asked Li Maozhen to withdraw the army, but Li Maozhen said that it was Prime Minister Du Rangneng who advocated sending troops, and he must be killed to apologize. Lying down, he was also shot, Du Rangneng was an innocent messenger of peace, but when he saw that he couldn't hide this time, he simply stiffened his waist, stood up, and used his life to solve a difficult problem for Tang Zhaozong.

Later, Li Maozhen clashed with Li Keyong again. At that time, after the death of Wang Chongying, the envoy of the Jiedu in the river, his son Wang Ke and Wang Hui competed for the throne of the Jiedu envoy.

Because of Li Keyong's support, Tang Zhaozong gave the festival to Wang Ke. Li Maozhen stood on Wang Hui's side, and saw that Tang Zhaozong gave the festival to Wang Ke, so he went to Chang'an with Wang Xingyu and Han Jian to ask for the crime, forcing the emperor to change the candidate for the festival, and forcing Tang Zhaozong to kill the two prime ministers Li Xi and Wei Zhaodu.

It's really not easy to be the prime minister in these years, when the Son of Heaven is a cow, the prime minister can still fake the tiger, and when the Son of Heaven is weak, the prime minister can only block the gun for the Son of Heaven.

Li Maozhen let her adopted son Li Jipeng stay in the capital and returned to Fengxiang by himself. Li Keyong also led his troops to join in the fun when he heard the news, and Li Maozhen knew that he couldn't beat Li Keyong, so he killed Li Jipeng and apologized to the emperor. Li Keyong asked Tang Zhaozong to order to hunt down and kill Li Maozhen, and Tang Zhaozong was entangled again this time.

He has been playing the balance of power in front of all forces, for fear that after one party becomes bigger, he will be led by the nose, and this time is the same, he is afraid that after getting rid of Li Maozhen, Li Keyong will be too powerful to control, so he wants to save Li Maozhen to contain Li Keyong. He told Li Ke to withdraw his troops and go back,

Li Keyong said resentfully when he left: "If you don't kill Li Maozhen, there will be no peace in the Jingshi area." This time, Li Keyong was right, not long after he left, Li Maozhen became arrogant again. After understanding the iron truth that power comes from the barrel of a gun, Tang Zhaozong recruited an army and let the royal family rule it.

Li Maozhen was weak-hearted, thinking that the emperor was guarding against himself, so he made the first move and led the troops to attack Chang'an again. So the fleeing emperor Tang Zhaozong had no choice but to flee again and defect to Han Jian in Huazhou. Li Maozhen entered Chang'an, plundered the army, and burned many palaces. Under the mediation of Han Jian,

Li Maozhen was not only not guilty, but was crowned King Qi. After being the ambassador of the award award, Tang Zhaozong was able to return to Chang'an again. Hearing that Zhu Wen was coming, Li Maozhen sent the general Fu Daozhao to lead 10,000 troops to garrison in Wugong to resist Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen sent Kang Huaiying to defeat him and capture more than 6,000 soldiers. Li Maozhen sent someone to apologize and admit his mistake, and asked Zhu Wen to enter the city to meet Zhaozong, Zhu Wen arrived as promised, but Li Maozhen released the pigeon and closed the door again. Zhu Wen's army arrived in Pizhou, and Jiedu made Li Jihui surrender, and Pizhou was pacified. (To be continued......)
