On November 14, 950, under the instigation of the strategist Wei Renpu, Guo Wei changed the secret edict of Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty to the punishment of soldiers, and once again successfully staged a good show of agitation. It's just that the soldiers may not have thought about one thing carefully: Punish everything? Who's going to punish you? Do you judge yourself? In fact, Liu Chengyou's real secret edict was to order Guo Chongwei and Cao Ying, the leaders of the forbidden army in Yedu, to kill Guo Wei and Wang Jun, and Guo Chongwei immediately sold the little emperor and became the first person to be instigated by Guo Wei.

On the 15th, Guo Wei left his adopted son Chai Rong to guard Yedu and personally led the army to Kaifeng.

In the face of Guo Wei's menacing Hebei army, Liu Chengyou, the leader of the martial arts alliance, posted a heroic post, calling on all masters in the world to open the sword and discuss the sword. However, only Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother (barely Liu Chengyou's uncle) Murong Yanchao rushed to King Qin. In addition to Guo Wei and Wang Jun, his opponents also included Li Hongyi, the former Caozhou defense envoy He Fujin, the former Fuzhou defense envoy Wang Yanchao, the former Bozhou assassin Li Yun, the northern camp Ma Budu commander Guo Chongwei, the infantry army commander Cao Ying, the protector of the saint capital commander Bai Chongzan, Suo Wanjin, Tian Jingxian, Fan Aineng, Li Wanquan, Shi Yanchao, Fengguo commander Zhang Duo, Wang Hui, Hu Li, crossbowman commander He Yun, etc. On the 19th, Guo Wei's army came to Fengqiu. 2 days ago, the soldiers got a promise from the prison army Wang Jun: if they capture the capital, they can rob it for 10 days at will! At this time, the momentum is like a rainbow. On the other hand, in the Later Han army, under the repeated requests of the country's uncle Li Ye, the forbidden army was given 20 yuan per person, and the foreign soldiers were halved again on this basis, only 10 yuan. Murong Yanchao was also full of confidence, "The subordinate regards the Northern Army as a mustard ear, and he should capture its leader for His Majesty's Majesty", but after retreating from the court, he called Nie Wenjin and asked the generals of the Northern Army, and immediately took a cool breath. Guo Wei's eyes are really poisonous, and his methods of winning people are really hot. More than half of the elite soldiers of the Later Han Dynasty are already in their camps. What I boasted about in the court just now is really Haikou.

On the 20th, the two armies officially faced each other in Liu Zipi, a northern suburb of Kaifeng. However, at this time, Liu Chengyou moved his eyes again: his own uncle Li Hongyi is now in the Guo Wei military camp, what if this uncle also comes to rebel in front of the two armies? After thinking about it, he wanted to go to the front line to supervise the army. Empress Dowager Li stopped her son, "Emperor Guo Weixian's former ministers, they are not forced to die, and they will never go against each other." It's better to give him an edict first and see the reaction. Maybe he will change his mind and save the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers. Son, you can't come out lightly, "But the old lady, your precious son has killed Guo Wei's wife." In this way, do you still want people to take care of the courtesy of the monarch and the minister? Liu Chengyou didn't listen, so he went to the front line. This made Guo Wei embarrassed. Because he played the banner of 'Qingjun side' all the way. Now that the villain on the king's side didn't come, but the emperor came in person, what should I do? Guo Wei was embarrassed to do it, while Murong Yanchao was probably a little afraid to do it. So in the evening, the two sides went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

The next day, Empress Dowager Li persuaded again, but Liu Chengyou insisted on going. He remembered that his uncle told him yesterday: Your Majesty has nothing to do tomorrow, so let's come and see the Wechen thief. I don't have to fight, I just shout. Those rebels will automatically return to the camp and surrender. Get! The young Emperor Han Yin was really fooled.

At this time, Murong Yanchao was shouting. But no one from Guo Ying's side came to fight, and no one came to surrender. In order to occupy the moral high ground, Guo Wei insisted on never firing the first shot: I am here to punish Xiaoxiao, not to fight the Son of Heaven. Be careful not to move first.

Murong Yanchao couldn't sit still, and rushed forward to capture Guo Wei in one fell swoop. It's just funny: before he could rush into the opposing formation, the horse fell on its own. With this fall, he lost his personal face, but what was worse was that the self-confidence of the Later Han army was completely thrown out of the clouds. So the Later Han camp began to disintegrate, and they all went to the northern Guoying. At dusk, Murong Yanchao also led dozens of people back to his hometown of Yanzhou.

But now, the audience Liu Chengyou was unlucky. He wanted to watch a war comedy. But when I looked at it, I found that I had become a cup, and I saw with my own eyes what it means to fall like a mountain. And I don't even have time to reminisce. For he saw a man leading his soldiers rushing towards him, and he was in danger of taking him down in one fell swoop. He knew that person, it was his brother-in-law Song Yanwu, the envoy of Yicheng Festival. Guo Wei said to Song Yanwu that you are a relative of the emperor. Now mutiny, you go up and say hello. Said I'd go see him right away. Of course, a thousand years later, when I read history books, I can't be sure if Guo Wei gave another order to Song Yanwu behind his back: kill Liu Chengyou.

When the emperor came out of Bianliang in the morning, he was hugging from the front and back, and when he camped in Qilizhai at night, there were only dozens of people around. The next day, I thought about entering Bianliang City, and I could hold on for a little longer. When he arrived at Xuanhuamen, Liu Chengyou was greeted by his newly acquired younger brother Liu Baht and a cold question: Where are the soldiers and horses? Then came the rain of arrows, and Liu Chengyou had no choice but to continue to flee.

A small village called Qili Suburb. The monarch and the minister were frightened for a while, but at this time, the road ahead was boundless, and the monarch and the minister looked at each other, and sorrow came from the heart. It's just that at this point today, is it all my responsibility? Prime Minister Su Fengji suddenly stood up: Today, the saint is in great trouble, I am a minister, and I am entrusted by the emperor, and I should be the first to take responsibility. I would like to die and apologize. Left and right are busy persuading: Today we should obey the Holy God and regain the situation. How can you talk about life and death lightly? Su Fengji glanced at the emperor. Liu Chengyou was concentrating on pulling Mars with a stick at this time. Maybe he was thinking about how the spark would start a prairie fire, so he didn't see Prime Minister Su cutting his neck to become a benevolent. Su Fengji was disappointed: Your Majesty, you should cooperate and persuade you. Such a monarch and a minister. But how is this play played now? As soon as the hand was loosened, the sword fell, and Su Fengji fell to the ground and cried bitterly to hide his clumsiness. Guo Yunming came with a wine glass, and he was ready to act in another scene. Liu Chengyou drank it all and sighed: The events of the day were indeed in a hurry. Guo Yunming was shocked, he was one of the New Gang of Four. Now does the emperor want to turn over old accounts? Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion outside the door. Guo Yunming is smart, maybe too smart. He gently went around Liu Chengyou's back and stabbed him in the back, killing Emperor Han Yin on the spot. Guo Yunming withdrew his waist knife, ran to the door, and shouted: I killed the emperor, come quickly! Running to the door, Xiao Guo was stunned: it was not Guo Wei's soldiers outside the door, but the Han soldiers who also fled. The people inside and outside the house looked at him strangely, like they were looking at a psychopath. Providence! It's worth it, the emperor was killed by himself. Worthwhile! Guo Yunming led his neck into a fast. Su Fengji and Yan Jinqing also followed in the footsteps of suicide. In this way, the four monarchs and ministers of the underworld can play cards and fight the landlord. On this day, November 22 of the 3rd year of Qianyou of the Later Han Dynasty (950).

Now the largest landlord is Guo Wei. It is impossible to guess how Guo Wei felt when he heard the news of Emperor Han Yin's death. The record in the history books is that Guo Wei lamented that "the old man's sin is also", and then Guo Wei wanted to lead the troops into the city, and at the Xuanhua Gate, he was greeted by arrows like rain. Liu Bao, who was defending the city, had gone crazy, first driving away the old emperor and then rejecting the new emperor. Guo Wei looked at Liu Ba, who was already hideous in the city, and remembered that it was this person who killed his wife and children and wanted to attack the city. But weighing the pros and cons, he changed the door: the Spring Gate, today did not usher in spring, but ushered in a gang of robbers. Guo Wei's subordinates scattered in a hurry when they entered the city, and went separately to grab the money. This robbery is comparable to the Khitan soldiers entering the city three years ago. Wang Yin, Guo Chongwei came to see Guo Wei: If there is more than plunder, Bianliang City will become an empty city tomorrow. Guo Wei ordered: The generals will stop looting, and the whole city will be strictly banned. The little soldiers were immediately unconvinced: Didn't we be allowed to rob for ten days that day? It's only been a day, doesn't it count? Boy. The day has been robbed all over the city, chickens and dogs are jumping, and ghosts are crying and people are howling. Grab ten days? The bricks of Bianliang City have to be pried by you, right? Governing troubled times with heavy codes. Guo Wei was forced to kill a few small soldiers before he finally carried out this order.

In this nightmarish day in Kaifeng City, there were two families surnamed Zhao who were safe and sound. One is Zhao Kuangyin's home. He rushed in as soon as the city gate opened, and took a shortcut and ran straight home. Standing in front of his own home, keeping all his loved ones behind him, and then pulling out his knife - at this moment, there is no reason to talk about it. The only way to protect this home is the knife in your hand! And the other Zhao Feng protects his family with the bow and arrow in his hand! The flames of the city, the deafening cries and the completely crazy rebellion left a deep impression on Zhao Kuangyin, who deeply hated all this, and he would say that crucial sentence nine years later, and from then on completely demarcate his Great Song Dynasty and the Five Dynasties!

Finally, I want to explain the ending of Liu Chengyou's new Gang of Four members and the others: Hou Kuangzan flew away as soon as he saw that the situation was wrong. Where to run? Hou Kuangzan remembered that Murong Yanchao was loyal to the Holy Lord, so he should be safe when he ran to Yanzhou, right? Murong Yanchao was worried in Yanzhou City, and when he saw it, he praised it and was overjoyed. Brother came just in time, I am missing a name, wronged brother. asked someone to tie up Kuang Zan, as a gift, and sent it to Bianliang to Boss Guo. Nie Wenjin and Li Ye are not so sharp in their legs and feet. Nie Wenjin was directly hacked to death by the soldiers who entered the city to rob. Li Ye was better and fled from the city. He was also robbed and killed outside the city. Oh, and that ruthless Liu Ba, naturally there is only one way to be killed.

On November 24, Guo Wei was kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager Li and asking for peace to the Empress Dowager Li. This is the ultimate psychological PK between a clever old woman and a cunning old fox. Yesterday, Feng Dao and Feng Laoxian had already given Guo Wei a dismissal. Feng Dao led hundreds of officials to greet Guo Wei who entered the city, and Guo Wei thought that it would be time for the ministers to persuade him to enter the book. But Feng Dao, the head of the hundred officials, accepted Guo Wei's dismount salute as usual, and said six words unhurriedly, "It's not easy to serve in the middle of the service", Feng Laoxian's calmness made Guo Wei hesitate, didn't everyone agree? At this time, he didn't dare to act rashly, and wanted to probe the tone of Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li is courageous and wise. Since you Guo Wei want to save face, then I will push the boat down the river and work hard for my Liu family. So when Guo Wei said that the country was troubled and that he should establish an heir as soon as possible, Empress Dowager Li threw out a multiple-choice question and listed four people: Liu Zhiyuan's brother, Liu Chong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, Liu Xin, the envoy of Xuzhou Zhongwu Jiedu, Liu Zhiyuan's adopted son (Liu Chong's parent), Liu Yun, the envoy of Wuning Jiedu in Xuzhou, and Liu Chengxun, the youngest son of Liu Zhiyuan, Yin Liu Chengxun of Kaifeng Mansion. What a Mrs. Li! The four people all have the surname Liu, but they do not have Guo Wei's name. When Feng Dao heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground: The Queen Mother is too ignorant, now the city is full of Guo Wei's soldiers, you don't list him as a candidate, Guo Wei is powerful, is it not a big disaster? Feng Dao's throw was undoubtedly a statement and issued a vocal protest to the Empress Dowager Li. But Feng Dao immediately felt the contempt of the hundred officials. It's fine. Feng Laoxian smiled indifferently, picked up Jie Qiang, and when nothing happened.

This multiple-choice question was undoubtedly thrown to Guo Wei by Empress Dowager Li. What to do? Among the four, Liu Chong was the first to be excluded by Guo Wei. This person has been in Taiyuan for a long time and has strong troops. Once he became the emperor, it would be difficult to get him down again. So he said: Liu Chengxun, the blood of the emperor. According to the system. Empress Dowager Li's answer was: Liu Chengxun's real name is right, but the child is seriously ill and I am afraid that he will not be able to be the emperor. Guo Wei didn't believe it. How can it be such a coincidence? The Queen Mother asked someone to carry Liu Chengxun out. Sure enough. Guo Wei, who had no choice but to lead hundreds of officials to retreat on the 26th, nominated Liu Yun. I believe that Guo Wei is depressed at this time: he worked hard, did he end up being busy in vain and making emperor clothes for others?

The shrewd Empress Dowager Li's plan was successful. In the answer given, Empress Dowager Li had already calculated that Liu Yun would be chosen. His own son could not be the emperor, and illness was one of the reasons, but it was not the main reason. But he is an orphan and a widow, and it is difficult to fight against Guo Wei, who has a heavy army. But Liu Yun is the adopted son raised by his husband and wife. Once he succeeds to the throne, his family will not have to worry about their lives. Moreover, letting Liu Yun succeed to the throne is a thoughtful move by Empress Dowager Li. She wants to introduce a bastard character: her uncle Liu Chong. The day before yesterday, Guo Wei entered Bianliang, and you have soldiers in your hands but you are watching from the wall. Now I'll give you the throne to your son, so it's time for you to move.

The sullen Guo Wei called Feng Dao to draft the will, but Feng Dao talked about him left and right, and said that he didn't mention anything without mentioning a pen: it was not the old man's resignation, it was indeed an old man's trembling hands, and he couldn't write the will. Feng Laoxian has been mixed from Liu Shouguang's subordinates to the present, standing in a high position in troubled times without falling, and has long seen through this situation: Which is one of the four choices? It's one of the two! Liu or Guo? But the situation is chaotic. The surname Liu is holding on, and the surname Guo is pretending to be noble. At this time, Feng Dao could only tremble his hands and couldn't write. forced Guo Wei to ask again: If adults can't write, who can? Feng Dao recommended one person: Fan quality can be written! Guo Wei has an impression of Fan Qian. During the Pingsan rebellion two years ago, he saw the imperial edict drafted by Fan Zhen in Yedu. However, the genius of this prime minister is now trembling in a thatched house. He had to dodge the rebels who entered the city to rob, and he had to dodge the goose feather snow at the end of November of the lunar calendar. If Guo Wei hadn't found him in time, Master Fan might have frozen to death.

Send charcoal in the snow, and give clothes in the cold winter. Guo Wei subdued Fan Zhen's heart. Hearing the meaning of the fan, he waved his pen, and a letter was written in an instant. Guo Wei took a look at it and said secretly: It's really good. I'm afraid that I'll have to trouble my brother to write another one in the future.

took the letter to Xuzhou to invite Liu Yun to enter Beijing to be the emperor, and this matter belonged to Feng Dao. Feng Dao smiled bitterly: This thankless and useless job has to be done by yourself. He quietly pulled Guo Wei aside and asked: Is Guo Gong really sincere? Guo Wei swore to the sky: every word is from the bottom of his heart. Feng Dao was on the road, and as soon as he left Beijing, he said to the left and right: I have never told lies in my life, but I didn't expect to spread lies today.
