"What? Chen Qian is dead? ”

Although the last time I saw Chen Qian, I heard Chen Qian say that her body was not as good as before, and Wang Ze had heard that Chen Qian was sick many times in the past two years, but when the news of Chen Qian's death came, it still felt sudden, and more importantly, as soon as Chen Qian died, the relationship between Donghai and Nanchen was about to change.

In the past two years, because Chen Ji has instigated the Nanchen forces from time to time to block the commercial houses in the East China Sea, many industries in the East China Sea have gradually gone underground, but since Chen Ji suddenly made a mistake a few months ago, Wang Kai went to Nanchen to deal with some industries.

When dealing with these industries, he was very curious about why Chen Qian suddenly had the courage to do something to the industries in the East China Sea, and then he learned the news of Chen Qian's illness, and before he could send the news, he heard the news of Chen Qian's death within two days.

After learning the news, he immediately took a clipper to Wang Ze to report the news, but he knew what the death of Emperor Chen Chen Qian meant to the relationship between Donghai and Nan Chen!

Wang Ze did not dare to slack off on this issue, he immediately convened Liu Xin, Yang Ku and others to discuss this matter, they not only wanted to discuss how to face the change of power in Nan Chen in the future, Wang Ze also wanted to discuss whether to send troops to support Chen Bozong's accession to the throne.

However, Liu Xin and Yang Ku immediately dissuaded Wang Ze's idea, "Your Majesty, now is different from the past, this is the period of power change in Nanchen, if you go to Nanchen with soldiers and horses, it will inevitably cause them uneasy, and it is precisely because you had a conflict with Chen Ji four years ago, if you go at this time, it will inevitably change!" ”

"It turns out that this old boy set up a bureau here," Wang Ze shook his head and smiled, "I thought others were stupid at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in the end we thought we were smart!" ”

Saying that, Wang Ze sighed: "Everyone in this world thinks they are smart people, but it still depends on who can have the last laugh!" That's it, let's do it according to the results of the previous discussion, and get rid of the industries we haven't dealt with yet! ”

Hearing this, Wang Kai hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, our original industry in Nan Chenming has basically been taken off, and the rest is estimated to be dealt with in two months, even if it is not processed, it will be given to Feng Taishou when the time comes!" ”

Wang Ze shook his head and sighed: "I'm not worried about these industries, even if they are all lost, how many things can there be, I am sighing that Brother Chen Qian Chen has worked hard in this life, and in the end, his wife and children will still be unable to escape being bullied, but I can't sit idly by when the time comes!" ”

Saying that, Wang Ze suddenly said to Wang Kai: "By the way, last month, Surabaya City in Nanyang (near Kuching) sent me a two-foot-thick golden silk nanmu, and if you send it to Nan Chen, it can be regarded as my friendship with Brother Chen!" ”

In ancient times, the coffin made of golden silk nanmu was the most valuable, but even if it was such a golden silk nanmu with a diameter of more than two feet given by Wang Ze, it was also a very valuable gift.

Wang Kai wanted to say that by the time your golden silk nanmu was sent to Nanchen, Chen Qian would have been buried a long time ago, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped, because he immediately understood Wang Ze's true purpose, so he didn't say more, bowed and retreated.

Wang Ze turned his back to everyone and looked at the groups of soldiers outside the city, and muttered in his mouth: "No wonder there is no envoy from Nan Chen, but there is such a big problem, but don't worry, big brother, as long as I am in your family, your wife and children will be safe and sound!" ”

In June of the ninth year of the Xia calendar, in the sixth year of Nan Chen Tianjia, Chen Wendi Chen Qian died of illness, and before his death, he passed on the throne with Chen Qian's eldest son Chen Bozong, and then ordered Chen Ji, the younger brother of Nan Chen Shangshuling, and Zhongshu Ling to Zhongju, as well as Liu Shizhi and others to support the orphan and auxiliary government.

These people can be said to be ministers that Chen Qian trusts very much, in addition to his own younger brother, there are also Zhongju and Liu Shizhi and others who followed Chen Qian when he was in the palace, so they are even more trusted by Chen Qian, and it seems that they are also the team he left to his son.

In addition, Chen Qian's henchman Han Zigao was appointed to command many soldiers and horses of the right guard and the central protection army, which was more than half of the troops around the southern Chen Jiankang City and the middle protection army, which shows that Chen Qian also made some preparations before his death.

But Chen Qian would never have imagined that less than three months after his death, Chen Ji took advantage of Chen Qian's queen Shen Miaorong's lack of knowledge of political affairs, and captured Liu Shizhi, who was an auxiliary minister, in the name of Shen Miaorong, and killed him that night.

So from this time on, Chen Ji was in charge of Nan Chen Lu Shang Shu and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military forces, which can be said to be a monopoly of power, but Chen Ji did not dare to usurp the throne at this time, because he also had to face Han Zigao, who controlled almost half of Nan Chen's troops.

After Chen Qian's death, Han Zigao was promoted to the rank of free cavalry by the new emperor Chen Bozong, and then led a large army to move to Xin'an Temple to protect the safety of Taicheng, but this also caused Chen Ji's worry and resentment.

Chen Ji originally admired Han Zigao very much because of his appearance and talent, and made great efforts to win him over, trying to get Han Zigao to take refuge with him.

However, Han Zigao was promoted by Chen Qian to Cao Mang, and he followed Chen Qian for many years and was only loyal to Chen Qian, so how could he look down on Chen Xu, who was far inferior to Chen Qian, so he simply refused Chen Qian's request.

As a result, Chen Ji was annoyed and ashamed, and because of love and hatred, he was ready to kill Han Zigao, but in order to uproot Han Zigao, he had to cut out some of Han Zigao's wings first, so Chen Ji began a large-scale purge of dissidents under the pretext of investigating corruption.

Chen's suppression of dissident forces in the imperial court caused fear among many state officials, who defected to Chen and defected to the enemy, especially Shi Huajiao of Eastern Chu Prefecture and Zhou An of Eastern Yu Prefecture. I love Chinese.com

In the spring of the tenth year of the Xia calendar (567 AD), in February, Hua Jiao and Zhou An raised troops together to rebel and attract the Northern Qi army, although these two are cities in Huaibei, but they are related to the safety of the defense line of the Huaihe River in South Chen, and the Qi general Murong Yan led an army of 20,000 to quickly take over the Eastern Chu Prefecture.

Dongyu Prefecture in the west was also quickly taken over by the Qi army in Runan, although Chen Ji quickly reacted to this, sending the generals Wu Mingche and Chun Yuliang to lead the army north, but in the face of Murong Yan, who was good at defending the city, he could not recapture the two cities after all.

After these two cities were occupied by the Northern Qi, it not only greatly threatened the safety of the Huaihe River defense line, but also greatly threatened the three counties of Haizhou, which were originally firmly standing in Huaibei, as long as Murong Yan was willing, he could seize Shuyang County and Hai'an County at any time, and isolate the three counties of Haizhou in Huaibei.

The impact of Hua Jiao and Zhou An's defection to Northern Qi was huge, although it threatened the safety of the five Huaibei counties in Southern Chen, but it also gave Chen Ji an excuse to replace the original local officials on a large scale, and because these two people were originally close to Han Zigao, Chen Ji also had a reason to liquidate Han Zigao.

In August of the tenth year of the Xia calendar, Han Zigao's old department, Shangyu County, ordered Lu Fang and Han Zigao's military commander, and the two were instructed to report to the imperial court together, claiming that Han Zigao had an attempt to rebel, so Han Zigao was captured by Chen Ji on the same day.

At that time, Chen Ji was in Shangshu Province as a secretary of the book, and held a meeting in the name of convening the incumbents of civil and military officials to discuss the appointment of the crown prince, so Han Zigao, one of the ministers of Tuogu, also accepted the invitation to participate.

However, as soon as he stepped into the gate of Shangshu Province, he was captured by the ambush soldiers laid by Chen Ji, and then sent to the court lieutenant, and at the same time he was arrested by Zhongshu Ling, who was also the minister of Tuogu.

In the original history, Han Zigao was already a little disheartened after Chen Qian's death, and would rather die than resist, and was given death with Zhong Ju on the night he was captured by Chen Qian, at the age of twenty-nine, but in exchange for his father Han Yanqing and his nephews and family members were pardoned.

Han Yanqing was favored because of Han Zigao, and the official went to the middle of the matter and Shanyin County to order.

However, in this time and space, because of Wang Ze's arrangement, it was different, and some of Han Zigao's generals were unwilling to be killed because they were also implicated, and Wang Ze took the opportunity of sending Jin Si Nanmu to send people to contact these people and then connected with them.

At first, these people didn't think that Chen Ji would attack Han Zigao, so they were not enthusiastic about contacting people from the East China Sea at first, but with the beginning of Chen Ji's large-scale elimination of dissidents, these Han Zigao's subordinates also began to worry about whether they would be implicated.

After Hua Jiao and Zhou An were also forced to defect to the Northern Qi, these people finally couldn't sit still, and they began to take the initiative to contact the people sent by Wang Ze, so the change began.

On the night that Han Zigao was captured, these old troops closest to Han Zigao launched a prison robbery operation, and with the assistance of the wolf tooth troops led by Gao Shi himself, they successfully rescued Han Zigao and Zhi Zhongju, who were originally going to be killed by Chen Ji that night.

Because when Han Zigao led the army to fight, he was very good to his subordinate soldiers and generals, he would truthfully report the merits of each person, and he would also fight for the merits of his subordinates, and because Han Zigao was trusted by Chen Qian, the generals he recommended would also be reused by Chen Qian.

Therefore, at that time, Nan Chen's generals and soldiers were all attached to Han Zigao, and they were undoubtedly very supportive of Han Zigao, but now coupled with Chen Ji's step-by-step pressing, they had to launch this operation.

Although Chen Ji had already been alerted to this situation, what he didn't expect was that more than half of the troops stationed in Jiankang City were Han Zigao's troops, even if only a few of Han Zigao's old troops launched a mutiny this night, but when the other troops knew about it, some of them responded urgently.

The other troops who were unwilling to participate in this matter also remained neutral and did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of these prison robbers, which in fact supported the reactionary prison robbers in disguise and increased their activity time.

After breaking through the Tingwei prison and rescuing Han Zigao and Zhongju, this part of the soldiers simply did not do anything, and attacked the imperial city under the leadership of several generals, and as a result, there was also an internal response in the imperial city and opened the gate of the imperial city.

This part of the soldiers quickly rescued Chen Bozong, who had already been placed under house arrest in the imperial city, and then smoothly left the city from Ximing Gate and headed for the Yangtze River in the west of the city.

At this time, although some of the soldiers in the stone city outside the Yangtze River were loyal to Chen Ji, they were in a hurry to enter the city to quell the rebellion in the face of the complicated situation, so they directly ignored some of the rebels who escaped from the city, and let these people escape with Han Zigao, Zhongju and Chen Bozong.

There was already a clipper prepared by Wang Ze's side on the riverside, so this part of the Nanchen soldiers boarded the ship smoothly, and soon sailed down the river out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, and soon arrived at Jeju Island, which was already much more sparsely populated.

Wang Ze welcomed the arrival of Chen Bozong and others, but what Wang Ze never expected was that Han Zigao refused to see him, and when he encouraged these soldiers to rescue Han Zigao, these rebellious soldiers did not have the good quality of the soldiers in the East China Sea, so many people in Nanchen were killed because of this.

This made Han Zigao, who was rescued by everyone, sad and secretly blamed himself, and at the same time, he couldn't let go of Wang Ze who did this.

Compared with Han Zigao, he was much more active when he went to Zhongju, he asked Wang Ze many times to send troops to restore Chen Bozong's power, but Wang Ze refused politely, even if he went to Zhongju, he staged a good show of crying Qin Court in Zhenhai, but after all, he failed to let Wang Ze send troops.
