The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 84 In order to prevent accidents, the generals advised Ran Min to lead his personal guards
Speaking of the Jie people in the Wuhu, they originated from the Western Regions. They have deep noses, thick eyebrows, and bushy beards, which are very different from the Han people in the Central Plains.The god it worships is also very different from the Han people in the Central Plains. It is the god "Hu Tian", which is also a type of Zoroastrianism in later generations, so the ancestral temple it worships is also called Hu Tian Temple.

People in the Central Plains have always respected ghosts and gods and kept a distance.Today, the world is in chaos, famous teachings have fallen, and the theory of prophecy is prevalent.In addition to the metaphysics that was popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoism that was popular at the end of the Han Dynasty, Buddhism that was introduced to China from Tianzhu, Zoroastrianism in later generations, and the current "Hu Tian" god have appeared in this area soaked in blood. land of hatred.

The common people are born in troubled times, and their lives in this world are miserable and precarious. They not only hope for the next life, but also hope to escape the suffering of this world.Therefore, people in the world have different religious beliefs, but they are all in awe of all kinds of beliefs.

In Yecheng, in a Hutian temple, three thousand soldiers of the Jie tribe were hiding in it.

"It's really open here, and it's also an ancestral temple. I think the Han people respect ghosts and gods and stay away. It's really a good place to hide." A soldier sighed.

An elderly soldier looked at the clay sculptures in the temple and said with a smile: "Although they are wooden clay sculptures, they are just bluffing people. But without them, this place is no different from ordinary dwellings."

While talking, the sergeants outside rushed in, "General Long Xiang is here, everyone is in formation."

"Quickly, pick up the thing."

I saw generals Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu of Longxiang arriving at the center of the temple, and they were overjoyed to see that their army was neat and full of fighting spirit.

Said: "Soldiers, I think the ancestors of our Jie nationality have been bullied by the Han emperor for a long time, and they were traded as slaves. Fortunately, the first emperor Shi Le of our clan raised an army with eighteen cavalry, destroyed Liu Kun, pacified Wang Jun, and finally defeated Liu Han , to dominate the Central Plains just now. However, the descendants of future generations are not filial, and now the government is in the hands of that Han boy, Ran Min, can I agree?"

Everyone shouted: "No."

Sun Fudu was overjoyed, knowing that the army's heart was available, and said: "Now the commander-in-chief has learned that Ran Min and Li Nong are going to make a pilgrimage to Shijian, and they pass by Dongye Gate. There are two towering attics here, which are convenient for ambushes, and the city gate is guarded." I have been bribed, we should fight hard to kill Ran Min and Li Nong so as to restore the great cause of our Jie clan."

All the soldiers were whispering to each other, eager to try.

Only one old soldier said: "Last time, Leping Wang Shibao was betrayed by Shi Jian when he raised his righteousness. This time, I'm afraid Shi Jian will interfere again."

A young soldier next to him said angrily: "Old man, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why should Shi Jian care about him now that he is alone?"

Sun Fudu just waved his hands and said: "Don't talk nonsense, young son, this sergeant is right." After speaking, he walked up to him and said, "Your Majesty is not very useful today, but I am also worried that he will be a hindrance. At that time, order the guards to capture him in one fell swoop, so as not to hold him back."

The old soldier just cupped his fists and said: "The general is thinking about Zhou Xiang, at the end he is willing to go through fire and water with the general, and he will not hesitate to do so."

In the Imperial Palace of Ye City, Shi Jian has no power now, so in order to protect himself, he can only pollute himself.Shi Bao had only been dead for a few days, and he began to indulge in lust every day, disregarding human relations, and took the late emperor's concubine for his own use.In the past few days, Shi Jian began to miss the Tongque Terrace, and ordered Yang Huan to send those beauties to the Tongque Terrace palace to enjoy.

According to Taishi Ling's advice: the [-]th day of this month is an auspicious day, and the grand general Ran Min's crown prince canonization ceremony.

The next day is the sixteenth, Shi Jian has ordered Yang Huan to make all the preparations, and the grand ceremony will start tomorrow, and everything will be complicated.It was night, Shi Jian seized the moment of rest, had finished bathing in the fragrant soup early, and was about to go to bed with his concubine to enjoy the joy of this moment.

It was already halfway through the night, the concubine was lying next to Shi Jian, obviously having had a good time, at this time Shi Jian suddenly pushed away the concubine who was hugging him, and only got up from the imperial couch.

The concubine only had sleepy eyes, "Your Majesty, it's still early, why not accompany my concubine?"

"Shut up." Shi Jian was in a state of confusion, and suddenly Shi Jian said, "Listen, what's the sound?"

The concubine muttered, "Your Majesty is fine."

After a while, the voices from the audience gradually began to become noisy.Shi Jian hurriedly ordered his servant to go down and take a look. He had already started dressing when he saw a palace man running over in a panic, "No, the audience is already surrounded by soldiers."

"Yang Huan, where is Yang Huan?" Since the last incident, Shi Jian was particularly vigilant, and in just a blink of an eye, Yang Huan had already arrived in the bedroom, grabbing His Majesty who was about to flee.

"Tap, tap" At this time, Yang Huan led Sun Fudu and Liu Zhu together with Youzhou sergeants to climb up the stairs. Yang Huan walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is here to ask Your Majesty to do this 'perfect thing'."

Shi Jian only murmured: "What is a perfect thing?"

Sun Fudu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that Ran Min has evil intentions and powerful power, we and other athletes from the Jie tribe are all grievances. The big gift tomorrow will be when Ran Min dies."

"Ran Min is meritorious, and I cannot bear to kill him suddenly." Shi Jian was frightened by Ran Min's power and power, and did not dare to make up his mind. "Besides, let's talk about it... Now that the defense of Ye City is under the control of Ran Min, it's as if Qing and the others are venting."

Seeing that Shi Jian was still hesitating, Yang Huan said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. Generals Sun and General Liu maintain the palace confinement. The location of the palace gate in the city has been arranged by Shi Cheng, Shi Qi and other sergeants Ji You. Ran Minda drove into the palace gate and captured him in one fell swoop."

Liu Zhu stepped forward alone, only an arm's length away from His Majesty, and pleaded generously: "Please issue an edict from Your Majesty, and the Qing Lord will execute Ran Min on his side."

The sergeants also knelt down in unison: "Please kill Ran Min, Your Majesty."

Shi Jian could only see that Liu Zhu was holding his saber in his hand, and the soldiers on the steps were all slaughtered.He stood up slowly, and said, "Qing and others are meritorious officials, so I can be an official Chen Li. I watch you from the stage, so don't worry about not getting rewarded."

Liu Zhu only turned around and shouted to the soldiers in the audience: "The generals have orders to kill Ran Min."

"Kill Ran Min!"

At this time, the sky gradually turned white, and a round of morning sun rays seemed to come out vigorously along the morning mist. The copper on the Tongque Terrace was exhausted, and the black bird bathed in the morning glow gave off bursts of golden light.

"Come here, please change your majesty's clothes." Yang Huan yelled, today is the crown prince's Canadian costume ceremony, the shape is not the same as in the past, only a few palace attendants are preparing your majesty's legal clothes and Tongtian crown, and respectfully invite the emperor to change clothes .

This is what Sun Fudu also said: "All the soldiers take off their armor and change their clothes."

"Swish, swish, swish" there was a burst of noise, all the soldiers took off their black armor, Yang Huan ordered someone to take out the armor of the Longteng guards in the palace that had been prepared, and let them put it on.

Shi Jian glanced at it, then turned to Yang Huan and said, "Director Yang, it seems that you have been planning for a long time."

"But for the country of Zhao, the country will die."

On one side of Ye City, the General's Mansion has been extremely busy since he learned of the grand ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince.

"It's getting late, General, Luanjia has been waiting outside for a long time, and the envoy from the palace is urging him." Jiang Gan only went into the room and reported to Ran Min.

"Master Jiang, take a look, does the crown prince's Yuanfu fit me well?"

Master Jiang only said: "General, no, His Highness the crown prince's sage and heroism can't be compared with that of the Jie clan emperor."

Ran Min said with a smile: "Oh, please don't say that. This Zhao country can't do without me, the Han people, and it can't do without the Jie people. The five Hus coexist, and they go hand in hand."

"The prince is just magnanimous and magnanimous, and I can't match it. Today Shi Jian has appointed a general as the prince, regardless of Hu Han's understanding, it is really comparable to the virtues of Yu Tang, Yao and Shun in ancient times."

"Yao and Shun, take a look at it." Dong Run added, "If we hadn't begged for the strength of the living army, how could this Shizhao Jiangshan be stable."

The general's mansion was filled with joyful atmosphere, at this time the disciples outside the mansion entered the house to report that the special envoy in the palace was urging His Highness the Crown Prince to go out earlier, so don't miss the time.

Ran Min stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile: "Go on, the crown prince will arrive later. If it weren't for Shi Yun's face, I would ride my horse and whip straight to the palace, and see who dares to stop me."

Ran Min and the crowd were jubilant, at this moment, Ran Min noticed that there was one person in the crowd who hadn't said a word until now, especially silent.

"I said, Wang Tai, today is the day of the crown prince's entrustment ceremony, why are you frowning, when the time comes, the prince's Zhongwei will lead you to be the first one."

The crowd also made a commotion, Wang Tai took advantage of the situation and cupped his hands and said: "The prince's kindness, the general accepts it, but I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Ran Min tidied up his Crown Prince's crown, and said, "But it's okay to say."

"Today, the defense of Ye City is all in the hands of my begging army, and most of the imperial guards in the palace have my troops, but there has been no sound since last night, and the general is a little worried."

General Wang Yuyan of the Shaofu said: "There is nothing to worry about when switching defenses normally."

Wang Tai retorted: "At that time, Shi Jian also called the general into the palace to discuss matters, if not..."

Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "This time the Jin crown prince, if the general does not personally meet, it will not be justified."

Seeing this, Wang Tai hurriedly said: "It is true that the general will come in person, but the general thinks that the ceremony is grand and the general must not bring too many followers. But the general thinks that if Emperor Zhao intends to make trouble at the ceremony, the general will be hard to resist. "

Jiang Gan then added: "I heard from the emissary that Li Nong and Li Sikong were also called to go to this grand ceremony, and all of us Han people are expected to be within the palace ban. The general drove into the palace ban from Dongye Gate, and the two sides of Dongye Gate The corridor is narrow and long, with towering palace walls on both sides, it is a good place to ambush, if you want to make a move..."

At this moment, Ran Min ordered people to temporarily stop tidying up his clothes, and asked, "Wang Tai, what should you do?"

Wang Tai said: "Choose a hundred people from the army, change into the clothes of the entourage, and carry short knives and daggers with them, and enter the palace to hide arrows and halberds under the horses and horses to avoid surprise. Prepare to sound the whistle, and our leaders are on guard outside the palace gate. The ceremony begins. At the time, the gates of the city were under martial law to prevent them from responding inside and outside."

Ran Min shouted: "Wang Yu, Wang Jian."

"The end is here."

"You lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to follow slowly behind in the car. The rest of the people wait until I leave the mansion, and then enter the camps to be stationed and wait for orders, and they must not leave lightly."

"The last will obey."

"Wang Tai."

"The end is here."

"From now on, the general's mansion will be at your command. If the time comes and the ceremony has not been completed, you can take advantage of the situation and don't have to worry about this general. Everything will be safe if the ceremony is completed. If someone tries to use this to plot against you Don't blame me for begging for the blade of the living army."

Wang Tai said, "Where is General Sun Wei?"

Behind all the generals, a short and thin man stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying: "The last general is here."

Wang Tai said to Ran Min: "This man is not well-known, but he is very brave. Please escort General Sun Wei with him."

Ran Min only looked Sun Wei up and down, he was indeed capable and brave, and nodded his head to express his approval.

Wang Tai bowed to accept the order, and said: "The general obeys the order, but the general has a question?"

"What's the matter?"

"If things change, what should His Majesty do?
"If you agree with this general, this general will protect you." Ran Min only paused for a moment, and said resolutely, "If you join forces with those who seek rebellion, don't hesitate, you can kill them."

Everyone hesitated for a while, then Ran Min shouted: "Do you understand!"

"Yes."

"His Royal Highness, the time has come, hurry up and enter the palace." At this time, the messenger outside was already outside the door, welcoming Ran Min.

Ran Min heaved a long sigh and said, "It depends on luck."

I saw a car parked in front of the mansion. Under it was Zhu Liner decorated with flying wheels, green covers, golden flowers, leaning on tigers and deer, but it was the crown prince's car.

"His Royal Highness, please enter the chariot."

Ran Min walked forward slowly, stopped beside the driver, and turned around slowly, only to see Wang Tai leading the stay in the mansion standing in front of the gate.

Wang Tai knelt down and said, "Respectfully send off the prince."

Ran Min paused for a moment, then turned and stepped into the chariot.

The envoy shouted: "The crown prince enters the chariot and gets up."

Accompanying brochure of the prince's motorcade: first look like a car, advocate one, and move forward to clear the way.Afterwards, according to rank, the official ranks followed, such as Yecheng Order, Sili Xiaowei, all meritorious Cao's subordinates, each of the three gongs and nine ministers, Lang Guan, etc., such as: Zaoche, Anche, etc. followed behind.Under it are the guards, school lieutenants, etc., driving four-horse chariots.Lubo and others went their own way, with halberds outside, bows and arrows inside, and advocacy and others followed in turn.Ran Min's hundreds of people were scattered among them, and they were all dressed in splendid attire.In the end, the Habayashi guards held the formation and other grand occasions were unprecedented.

The road to the Da Sima Gate of Ye Palace stretched for several miles, and the common people of Ye City gathered along the way.

At this time, in Ye Palace, Taiwu Hall, Dongye Gate, and in the lanes, Youji's soldiers have all been arranged properly.

"Dong dong dong" the drums at the palace gate of Yecheng were loud, and Ran Min's car had already arrived.
