In the eighth lunar month of 530 AD, Er Zhurong handed over the recital to Ying'e was about to give birth to a child as the reason to enter Beijing, which immediately caused an uproar in the court, and Yuan Ziyou's subordinates did not believe that Er Zhurong entered Luoyang because of family affairs. Because the deployment was not yet mature, it was inevitable that there would be extraneous branches, so Yuan Ziyou had no choice but to order someone to take out Ying'e and still place it in the Jiafu Palace, and send Fuzhi back to serve, and also sent Zhao Liangyuan back to give birth to Ying'e to show appeasement.

After this incident, Ying'e was already disheartened, but she just took pity on the fetus in her womb, although she treated everything coldly on the surface, she became more and more uneasy in her heart. The conflict between her father and Yuan Ziyou is on the verge of breaking out, but she no longer has the initial worries, she knows that what she should face is finally coming. She began to go deep into the simplicity, exempting the concubines from asking for peace every day, saving each other the hardships of pretending, and also forbidding the people of the Jiafu Hall to transmit any news, as if she was isolating herself from the world, but ended up quiet, only waiting for the child in her womb to come with peace of mind. Fuzhi was a little helpless about Ying'e's negativity, and she saw Ying'e sobbing alone in the dead of night several times, so she could only accompany her silently to be sad.

Outside the Taiyuan Palace, Jinyang City, Sima Ziru, who has become Er Zhurong's staff, shook a feather fan and served beside Er Zhurong, he will enter Luoyang with Er Zhurong, with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of him standing solemnly, waiting for Er Zhurong's order.

Murong Shaozong caught his expression, and knocked on the side and said, "Lord Sima, this feather fan is really good, from a distance, it looks like the style of Zhuge Kongming back then, it seems that everything is in the planning of the adults." ”

Sima Ziru heard that Murong Shaozong's words were sarcastic, he had always been a sweet-mouthed sword, and he looked respectful, "Lord Murong is raised below, and in the lower district, a staff member, General Demeng Tianzhu appreciated it, and mixed up with a petty official." How dare you compare with Mr. Zhuge and keep your job with this bit of vulgar knowledge. ”

Murong Shaozong said with a smile, "Lord Sima is too humble, General Tianzhu values you, with Lord Sima's tongue like a flower, his wealth is limitless, and I hope to bring one or two more in the future." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, Lord Murong is really raised below, Lord Murong's eyes are like torches, and he is just good at judging the situation below. For example, today's General Zhu is in full swing, and Murong will carry more and support him, and say a few more kind words in front of General Tianzhu. ”

Murong Shaozong smiled but did not answer, and when he saw that everyone was hugging Er Zhurong to go out, he stood in front of the team with Sima Ziru and waited.

Er Zhurong, who was dressed in armor, simply ordered everyone a few words, and was about to get on the horse, but was pulled by the princess of Beixiang behind him, he turned around and looked at his wife with an anxious face, and said, "I'm worried again, not to mention that he is my son-in-law, he is the real emperor, and he is also my establishment, and he has no final say in this world." ”

Princess Beixiang sobbed, "Lord Wang, I just pity my two daughters, one is the queen on the surface, and the mother is the world, but is there still half a point of the queen's dignity in this cold palace?" One is the princess, who was imprisoned by her father in the Qingyun Pavilion, and even I can't see a few faces. Lord Wang, if you knew today's situation, I would have died that day, and I would not have let them enter this unruly cage. Lord, when I beg you, they are all your children, and if you have mercy, you will pity my mother's heart. Lord, take me with you, I want to see my poor E'er, who is about to give birth, but she has to face the duel between her father and her husband, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. ”

Er Zhurong calmly looked at his wife's few white hairs fluttering in the wind, her bloodshot eyes, which must have been crying for countless nights, and a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, clearly feeling that her Shaohua had passed away, and it was a gap that could not be filled by the extremely rich life. The first half of her life was too smooth, it was the glory given by the royal bloodline, and it was also the respect given by his Erzhu Rong for half a lifetime, but now it was he who destroyed his wife's happiness with his own hands, so that her two daughters who loved her most rose and fell in power. Er Zhurong suddenly felt that his heart was so hard that he didn't even understand it, just like the stone tablet that tied the Empress Dowager Hu and sank into the Yellow River, it was extremely hard, and all the tenderness of his life seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the deep river. Er Zhurong wanted to reach out and straighten out Princess Beixiang's messy hair, but she was afraid that the only inch of warmth she could give would make her full of hope and make him give up his plan. He took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, turned around indifferently, and jumped on his horse, "She is my Er Zhurong's daughter, there is nothing that I can't bear, when everything is settled, I will give her a place to go." If you are really worried about your daughter, I will send someone to pick you up in a month. If you have time to put your mind in the house first, persuade that stupid girl in Qingmao, don't blindly love children, I am also for her future, if the idiot obeys, if you don't obey, don't blame me for not thinking about Weng's son-in-law, anyway, I still have a grandson. ”

Princess Beixiang was still unwilling, grabbed the reins, looked up at Er Zhurong and cried, "Lord, I know that you have made up your mind, and it is good to remember that E'er has married far away since she was a child, and it is good to have her husband and wife love." ”

"Okay, this king knows, it's hot outside, Su Ping hurriedly helped Mrs. go back to rest."

Seeing this, Er Zhuzhao, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly followed, and Er Zhurong raised his hand to signal him to stay, "Pass the letter to the king of Shangdang, command the troops in Luoyang, and gather in Luyuan." ”

Er Zhu Zhao was overjoyed and said loudly, "Obey, General Tianzhu, my subordinates will arrange it." ”

-----------------------------------------------------------

Yuan Ziyou buried himself in the deliberations of the Taiji Hall every day, and secretly recalled Gao Gan to be stationed outside Luoyang City, this time Gao Qian brought back 100,000 horses and 50,000 soldiers, which made Yuan Ziyou very happy and felt like a tiger with wings. In addition, Yuan Hui is incompetent and jealous, and every time Yuan Yu is good at making good words, he hopes that Yuan Zi will judge the situation and attack cautiously. He was afraid that Yuan Yu would overtake him, so he always tried every means to prevent him from listening to the heavens, or he slandered Yuan Yu in a few words that Yuan Yu was cowardly and afraid of things, so Yuan Yu's advice was not adopted.

Yuan Ziyou was full of spirit at this time, and the anger in his heart that had been suppressed for many years could finally be vented, he was only thinking about how to bring down Er Zhurong as soon as possible, and he couldn't listen to any words of loyalty at all, but he liked what Yuan Hui said, "Your Majesty, he Er Zhurong is just a Qihu barbarian, and he has no education." Those young people are just relying on some military exploits to show off their might, but they don't know that this is the world of the Great Wei Dynasty, the country that my ancestors immediately laid down, and the territory drawn by the blood of countless Xianbei warriors. The emperor is the lord of the world, and all the people return to their hearts, and the four seas are subservient. So why should the emperor worry, now we have strong troops, and now we have General Gao's elite soldiers and horses, so everything is really ready and just waiting for Zhu Rong to come. His Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, but he wants to learn from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, and vainly have the heart of being greedy for children, if the queen gives birth to a child, the emperor will be abolished to set up this child; If he gives birth to a daughter, he will make King Chen Liu the emperor, after all, King Chen Liu already has a son. This time, he actually took advantage of the fact that the queen was about to give birth, and he was going to enter Beijing, I was afraid that the person who came was not good, and there was a move to force the palace, so he couldn't let go of the opportunity and took him down, so as not to return to the mountain and have endless troubles. ”

Li Yu also tried his best to persuade Yuan Ziyou not to miss the opportunity and deploy troops to assassinate Er Zhurong; Only Jiyin Wang Yuanhuiye, Yuan Yu and others persuaded Yuanzi to act cautiously, saying that Naer Zhurong had been on the battlefield for many years, and this time he would take more precautions when he came to Beijing, and it would be difficult to succeed.

Faced with the opinions of the two parties, but both of them made sense, Yuan Ziyu pondered unconsciously, and he paced to the window. I only saw that the dark clouds in the sky outside were thickly squeezed together, and a lightning bolt at intervals tore through the clouds and occasionally appeared a light, roaring thunder, like a war drum thunder, stirring Yuan Ziyou's uncalm heart. The ministers behind him were talking a lot, noisy like the cicadas on the tree, which made Yuan Ziyou feel restless, the dullness before the rainstorm, the sweat soaked the dragon robe, and it was extremely uncomfortable to stick to the body, and he comforted his body.

Zhang Haosong hurriedly took Gong'e's palace fan, trotted behind Yuan Ziyou, fanned the wind for him, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if you wipe your sweat, the slave has prepared some sour plum soup, or you can drink it first, don't burn your body." ”

Yuan Ziyou shook his head and asked Li Yudao, "I heard that Xing Shao, the Chinese scholar, quietly fled Luoyang with his family last night, is this news true?" ”

Li Yu said indignantly, "I have long said that such pedantic scholars are difficult to take on big responsibilities, and they are all cowardly as rats, and Er Zhu Rongshang is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, so he fled in a hurry." The emperor and the ministers made the state capitals wanted, and they soon had a fate. ”

"A rat, if you escape, you will escape, if you catch it, you will chop it, and it will still be a pile of rat meat, and it will not be on the table." Yuan Hui said while looking at Wen Zisheng, who was silent on the side, "It's a pity that Lord Wen is as famous as this kind of person." ”

When Wen Zisheng saw that he mentioned himself, he couldn't be silent anymore, and arched his hand, "Thank you King Chengyang for your praise, and the lower officials didn't expect Lord Xing to be like this." It's just that the most important thing now is to discuss a plan to punish the glory, but the word is not conclusive. Your Majesty, the ministers thought that they could act according to the previous policy. ”

Yuan Ziyou pointed at Wen Zisheng and said, "Wen Aiqing's strategy is a good policy, but the middle details need to be carefully planned, and it happens that everyone is here today, so this matter will be agreed." ”

Yuan Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, after all, Er Zhurong has a deep foundation, and nine times out of ten in the court are intertwined with him, if they are removed together, it will cause turmoil in the court." The minister thinks that it is better to remove Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu first, and appease the others, after all, Liang Guo and Rouran are eyeing my dynasty, and they can't hurt the foundation of the dynasty anymore, and Er Zhurong's subordinates have many capable people, if they can use it, it will be the luck of our dynasty. ”

Li Yu objected, "The emperor is benevolent and willing to pardon the lives of Gao Huan, He Bayue, Hou Jing, Yuwentai, Murong Shaozong, Yang Zhong and others, but Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhongyuan, Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhao and other Erzhu clan relatives can never be pardoned. They are Er Zhurong's close relatives, and they are also fierce generals who followed the southern expedition and the northern war, that is, Er Zhurong was ambushed, how could they easily recruit peace with the military power in their hands. Li Yu said as he walked to the map hanging in the hall, and drew a picture by hand, "Your Majesty, please see, this north of Luoyang, the land of Shanxi is the territory of Erzhu Zhao, if you directly send troops south, you can reach Luoyang in a few days; The Xuzhou area in the east is controlled by Erzhu Zhongyuan, with a large number of soldiers and abundant grain and grass; The west side of the Guanzhong is occupied by Erzhu Tianguang, and soon after he wiped out Wan Qi Ugly Slave, the soldiers were strong. It was these three people who surrounded Luoyang, so after Zhu Rong, the minister thought that it was appropriate to summon these people into Beijing and kill them together. ”

Yuan Hui looked at Yuan Ziyou's face quietly, thinking about how to speak to get the Sacred Heart, Yuan Yu was about to speak again, but Yang Kan preemptively said, "Your Majesty, you must not kill Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhao and others, if they are killed, it will cause domestic turmoil, these people have many soldiers, if they rebel, Luoyang is in danger." The minister also agreed with what King Linhuai said, assassinated Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu first, and the rest were appeased first, and then calculated. ”

Gao Daomu also stepped forward to second, "The minister also agrees, now that the war is a little calmer, the people are struggling to make a living, and the treasury is empty, but it can no longer withstand the war." Except for the thief head, the congregation will be shocked by the emperor, if you appease again, the title of Tianzhu General will be rewarded to Er Zhu Zhao, why worry that he is not grateful, and lead the crowd to obey him. ”

Yuan Hui saw that Yuan Ziyou's hand holding the window lattice was slowly clenched into a fist, his head was slightly raised, his heart was three points, and he was busy kneeling down and said, "The emperor is wise, the security of the country, and the security of the people are all tied to the emperor's thoughts." The emperor can be honored today, why should he worry about these small nights in the future, but it is a backhand move, the ministers of the Great Wei people thank the emperor Longen, and restore the splendid mountains and rivers of the Great Wei with the momentum of peace. ”

Yuan Ziyou's gloomy face gradually soothed, pointed to the day, and said to Yuan Hui, "If Ta Er Zhu Rong is the dark clouds that want to cover the sky, I will lead you and others to tear open his iron curtain and return my Great Wei Lang and clear sky." ”

Yuan Hui bowed down and shouted long live, and all the ministers under him greeted him. Although Li Yu was uneasy, he could only kneel down and second, Xi Kangsheng whispered in his ear, "Lord Li's mind is the same as that of the last general, but now he has no power to resist, and there is a shortage of soldiers and grass, so he can only plan for the future." ”

Li Yu shook his head helplessly, "It's hard to scream alone, and the official can only wait and see the changes and assist with all his heart." ”

Later, everyone discussed the assassination matter properly, preparing to trick Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu into the palace first, and then ambush the soldiers burst out, rushed up, and hacked to death with a blade; In order to ensure the safety of Yuan Ziyou, once the troops were dispatched, Yuan Ziyou immediately went out from other doors to prevent Er Zhurong from raiding, and hid a sharp blade on his body for self-defense, and at the same time was escorted by Xi Kangsheng; After the matter is over, the holy decree is issued, one is to rebel, and the other is to reduce grace and virtue.

The plan was decided, and everyone actively began to prepare, and Yuan Ziyou never entered the Jiafu Hall for half a step again, and even the meeting between Zhang Haosong and Fuzhi was forbidden. On the one hand, Yuan Ziyou is worried that he will leak the news and be guarded against by Er Zhurong, on the other hand, he is no longer willing to face Ying'e, he can't think of anything to continue to deceive her, but how to tell this woman who is giving birth to a child for himself that he will kill her father with his own hands in a few days. Thinking of this, Yuan Ziyou sat on the steps tiredly, raised his head, looked at the high throne, and closed his eyes in some disappointment.
