When Wu He returned to Luodu with Yang Xutang's letter, Wang Xing was furious when he saw the letter.

Without waiting for Yang Sutang to send troops, he first decided to send troops to attack Xuanzhou. He sent another of his generals, Liu Changzhi, to send 300,000 troops to attack Xuanzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Shi Tai of Ezhou to send troops together to attack Xuanzhou. This time, Wang Xing should have used all his strength to attack Yang Xutang.

Song Xingzhi, Lin Guanqi and others all believed that this should be their decisive battle, and they would go all out to face it.

That's when the drama happened. Wang Xing died suddenly, and his eldest son Wang Qi succeeded him.

Wang Xing was a general of Qiguo in his early years, and he fought in the south and the north, and made a lot of contributions. After usurping the throne, the power of the emperor and the countless beauties in the harem dazzled him.

He is obsessed with lust, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem, even his daughter-in-law. Every day, he asked his son to send his daughter-in-law to the palace to wait for him, and he called it filial piety and illness.

Wang Xing fought in his early years and had a lot of old diseases. After the usurpation, he indulged in lust, and his body was hollowed out and weak. Since the beginning of the year, my health has been poor.

Wang Xing had three sons.

The eldest son, Wang Jue, is the eldest and has some talent. However, Wang Xing slept with his wife and concubines, so the relationship between father and son was very delicate. The second son, Wang Qi, is incompetent and weak, and his health is not very good. The youngest son, Wang Jue, is smart and clever, and he is also the most favored.

After Wang Xing's health deteriorated, the succession to the throne became a matter of concern to the courtiers of Luodu.

After the beginning of the year, Wang Jue got the news that his father Wang Xing intended to pass on the throne to Wang Jue, which made him annoyed and angry. In addition, his father robbed him of his woman, which had already made him dissatisfied.

When he knew that his father might pass on the throne to his younger brother, he moved to rebel.

When Yang Sutang sent Wu He to send a text, Wang Xing was furious and sent Liu Changzhi, the most loyal general around him, out as well, he thought that his opportunity had come.

He bribed the palace attendants, staged a coup d'état, and sneaked into the palace to kill his biological father. Subsequently, he quickly took control of the palace, announced to the outside world that Wang Xing had died violently, and united several confidants and ministers to control the court and quickly ascended the throne.

When Liu Changzhi, who led the army, received the news that the emperor had changed hands, he was almost at the border of Hezhou, and finally had to stop by Weishui.

Subsequently, Wang Jue sent an edict to Liu Changzhi, ordering him to continue the attack on Xuanzhou.

Xuanzhou also got the news soon.

Everyone gathered in the Qinzheng Garden to discuss with King Xuan.

Xingzhi said: "I didn't expect them to have infighting, God really helped me." ”

Wu Yongzhi said: "Wang, as far as I know, Liu Changzhi and Wang Qi had grievances in their early years, and the relationship was very delicate. Now that he is on a campaign to change hands, he must be disturbed. Why don't we send someone to appease him now, or maybe he will be willing to obey? ”

Xingzhi, Lin Guanqi and others all agreed.

Yang Xutang said lightly: "As far as I know, Liu Changzhi has followed Wang Xing for decades and is very loyal to him. Moreover, he has an upright temperament, even if he is not on good terms with Wang Qi, the possibility of betraying the Wang family and returning to us is extremely low. ”

Deng Zigong, who was standing on the side, said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Liu Changzhi received the kindness of Weishui Xie Chongjing in his early years, and it just so happens that I have some friendship with Xie Chongjing. Why don't I ask him to be a lobbyist, maybe he can succeed. ”

Deng Zigong and his son have just returned to obedience, and of course they want to make meritorious contributions.

Yang Xutang thought for a while: "If you can persuade Liu Changzhi to return to obedience, it would be great." ”

Deng Zigong got Yang Xutang's order and immediately went to do something, and it didn't take long for him to find that Xie Lao to see Liu Changzhi.

It is said that Xie Lao talked with Liu Changzhi for several hours, and after talking to Liu Changzhi, he actually jumped into the water and died!
