608 - And not stupid

Although Liu Yi and others ran into Liu Cong outside the city, they bumped into Liu Rui and Ma Jing, who were responsible for attacking Liu Cong, and leaked the news.

But Liu Yi and the others moved quickly, and when Liu Rui reacted, they had already escaped from the city.

Liu Rui, who realized that something was wrong, had no choice but to order the city gate to be closed and give priority to dealing with Liu Yu, the king of Qi and Liu Long, the king of Lu, in the city.

In the military camp outside Pingyang City, as soon as Liu Cong fell asleep, his guards broke in and reported in a panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good." His Majesty listened to the rumors and sent troops to kill the four kings, and His Royal Highness King Qi and His Royal Highness King Lu have been killed. His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, under the protection of Lord Liu Xuan and Tian Shangshu, risked his life to break through the encirclement and reported that the news came. ”

Liu Cong's eyes opened as soon as he heard this, he let out a sigh, and got up without even caring about wearing his shoes.

When I got out of the military tent, I saw Liu Yi leading his family to sit outside, all of them covered in mud and mess, how to look at it, how miserable.

Seeing Liu Cong, Liu Yiwa cried out at once, crawled over on his knees and said to Liu Cong: "Brother Huang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he listened to slander and did something to us." ”

In the end, he is a person who has seen the world, and Liu Cong did not show any panic on his face.

I saw him looking at Liu Yi with a calm face, and asked about the situation while reassuring.

Next to him, Liu Xuan and Tian Mi told Liu He's specific plan, Liu Cong listened, his heart was secretly happy at first, and then he pretended to have an angry look on his face.

He was originally dissatisfied with Liu He's succession to the throne, but because he was not a son-in-law, he could not covet the throne nominally.

No, during the day, Liu Cong was still discussing with his henchmen how to make himself ascend the throne, but he didn't expect that Liu He would send it to the door by himself at night.

Realizing that the opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Liu Cong made an angry gesture and pulled out the guard's sword, and shouted: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, and the Son of Heaven is dark, and he actually listened to the slander and attacked his brother. Ladies and gentlemen, I, Liu Cong, have no virtue and no ability. But I also know that my Han world is not easy to come by. Lonely wants to lead troops into Beijing, clear the monarch's side, and rectify the dynasty. Is anyone willing to follow me? ”

Liu Cong's subordinates are accustomed to following him to conquer the south and the north, and in addition, Liu Cong, as a great Sima with military merits, has a high prestige in the army.

When he said this, there were many responders.

Immediately, Liu Cong reorganized his troops and horses overnight and attacked Pingyang.

When Liu Yuan was in power, the foreign conquests were also handed over to his son Liu Cong, and he himself sat in the rear to plan as a whole.

This pattern lasted for several years, and it became the god of war in Liu Cong's army.

As soon as he sent troops, the people of Pingyang were panicked.

Although relying on the identities of Liu and the Son of Heaven, the generals who defended the city desperately resisted a wave, but they couldn't stop the people who secretly wanted Liu Cong, opened the city gate, and let Liu Cong enter the city.

In an instant, Liu He's forces collapsed, not to mention the forbidden army in the imperial city, and the soldiers guarding the palace surrendered in batches.

In a panic, Liu He ran to Liu Yuan's mourning hall and tried to use Liu Yuan's coffin to suppress Liu Cong, so that he would not dare to attack him.

Anyway, the bones of the first emperor are not cold, can you kill me, a rightful son of heaven, in front of the first emperor?

It turned out that Liu He once again thought too much.

He and his son Empress hid above his father Liu Yuan's mourning hall, and when he was secretly praying that Liu Cong would not come to him, Liu Cong came to find him.

But I saw that outside the Guangji Hall of the Imperial Palace, Liu Cong was carrying a sword, and behind him were countless arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, coming with a rolling murderous aura.

Seeing this, the forbidden army guarding the Guangji Hall involuntarily threw away the blades in their hands and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Liu Cong didn't look at these people, and took more than 100 of his henchmen, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials in the city who took refuge in him, and went straight to the Guangji Palace.

Under Liu Cong's orders, his guards pulled Liu He out of the mourning hall and pressed him to the ground.

Liu He, who knew that something was wrong with him, panicked, he was born majestic and mighty, but he was extremely spineless and begged for mercy from the thin Liu Cong.

"King, brother Wang, I know it's wrong. I also hope that Brother Wang will spare my life, and I am willing to abdicate the throne and be a rich man. ”

Facing Liu He's crying appearance, Liu Cong's face showed a little disdain.

"Your Majesty, when Liu Yu, the king of Qi, and Liu Long, the king of Lu, begged you for mercy, did you agree at all?"

Liu He was asked all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say.

He sighed for a long time before he said: "Father, my father's funeral is only more than a month, how can Brother Wang bear to kill each other?" How can he explain to his father if he is under the nine springs? ”

Liu Cong laughed: "He day? I said, Your Majesty, you're thinking too far. Don't it, go down to see your father now. ”

After that, Liu Cong rushed up with one step and grabbed the back of Liu He's neck, and without giving Liu He a chance to beg for mercy, he cut off his neck with a knife.

When Liu He's body fell to the ground, Liu Cong ordered someone to kill Liu He's son, and sent all his concubines and queens into slaves and rewarded them to meritorious soldiers.

Compared with Tianming, Liu Cong has completely controlled the situation in Pingyang.

When the golden rooster reported and the east side showed the white belly of the fish, Liu Cong sent people to Zhang Bang Anmin, and summoned the city's Chinese military officials to discuss with the Taiji Palace.

He first killed all the officials who participated in the murder of the four kings, and the culprit Hu Yanyu was killed by a car.

Not only that, Hu Yanyu's father, Hu Yanyan, who is the Taibao, also failed to get out.

was beheaded by Liu Cong on the grounds that he had no way to teach.

Dazai Liu is happy, Taifu Liu Yang knows this situation, Liu Cong is taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

He took the opportunity to take back the power in the hands of the auxiliary minister, and realized that here, Liu Huanhuan and Liu Yang proposed to return to their hometowns at the same time.

When the goal was achieved, Liu Cong waved his hand, which was extremely refreshing.

Three days later.

After dealing with the court, Liu Cong, who calmed down the situation in Pingyang, once again convened hundreds of officials to discuss the new emperor's accession to the throne.

He invited the Empress Dowager Shan, saying that Liu and Bo were unrighteous and could not inherit the Han artifact, so he had no choice but to kill him. Please also ask Shan to surrender.

Shan is not stupid, knowing that Liu Cong is acting, how can he take it seriously.

No, Shan only followed Liu Cong's words and scolded his own son Liu He for not being a thing. At the end, he was still very concerned and asked Liu Cong who was suitable to inherit the unification.

It's all here, and Liu Cong is still pretending.

As soon as he turned around, he looked at Liu Yi, the king of Beihai, who was standing among the hundred officials, and said, "As a son-in-law, the king of Beihai is known as a virtuous name. The king of the North Sea can be appointed as the emperor. ”

Liu Yi and Liu He are both sons born to the Shan family, and they are both nominally sons-in-law, which is much more straightforward than Liu Cong's son-in-law.

It is also natural to support Liu Yi as the emperor.

But again, Shan is not a fool, and Liu Yi is not a fool.

Even, the court officials are not fools.

At this point, everyone can see that Liu Cong is acting, in fact, the emperor's throne, he has already regarded it as his own bag.

At this time, what is it that you dare to rob or not to find death?
