Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 416 Bloody Clothes ([-])
Whoever controls the Imperial Guard can control the center of the empire, and whoever controls the center of the empire can then control the world. This has been the case since the former Han Dynasty, and the figure of the Imperial Guard can be seen in almost every coup.

After observing history, Wang Miao summarized this phenomenon as the "Law of Inheritance of the Imperial Guard".

The position of the emperor of the Central Plains is not determined by the right of succession, nor by the aristocratic family and the people, but by the imperial guards.

Jia Nanfeng was afraid that the grown-up prince would seize power, so he finally killed the crown prince. As a result, she became a target of public criticism.

At this critical moment when people's hearts were fluctuating, Zhao Wang Sima Lun followed the advice of counselor Sun Xiu, bought many high-level officers of the Imperial Guard, and relied on the strength of the Imperial Guard to seize the highest power of the empire.

Queen Jananfeng was bestowed with death, and every Janissary officer who participated in the coup was canonized as a marquis, and ordinary Janissaries soldiers were also rewarded with a lot of money and beauties.

White Horse Temple

"Does the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss really exist?" Looking at the Buddhist scriptures, Wang Miao yearned for the Utopia depicted in the Buddhist scriptures.

Confucianism has the paradise of kings, Christianity has the paradise of Eden, and Buddhism has the Paradise of Paradise.

In this era, each school of thought will outline a beautiful utopia based on its own theories, in which everyone can live a good life.

Wang Miao felt Buddhism in the White Horse Temple, and from time to time he could see many low-level people coming to the temple and kneeling devoutly under the stone Buddha.

"Buddha, I have suffered enough in this life, and even my own daughter was forcibly taken away by the court for reward. Please let me be reincarnated as a relative of the emperor in the next life, please."

"Amitabha!"

"As long as the donor sincerely believes in the Buddha, he will naturally be able to go to the Paradise after death and enjoy endless blessings."

"Thank you master, I will definitely believe in the Buddha sincerely."

The more suffering in the world, the faster the development of religion. The people who have suffered so much can only entrust their spirits to the illusory Buddha, so as to paralyze themselves and let them forget the pain of real life.

The flowers bloomed and fell year after year, and after several months passed, the news that Zhao Wang Sima Lun proclaimed himself emperor spread all over the world.

The already boiling Great Jin burst into pieces in an instant. Sima Yong, King of Hejian in Guanzhong, Sima Ying, King of Chengdu in Yecheng, and Sima Jiong, King of Qi in Xuchang, raised their troops to attack Sima Lun. Wan Dajun, and the pseudo-emperor Sima Lun, possesses only the [-] imperial guards in Luoyang, the capital of the empire.

It is normal for fiefs and titles to not correspond. For example, Wang Jue's fief is in Dongjun, but his title is Marquis of Yan, not Donghou. For example, Guan Yu's fief is in Jingnan, but his title is in Jingbei.

When the Central Plains was caught in a war for the throne, all kinds of ambitious people also took the opportunity to show themselves.

When the world was not in chaos, Shu was in chaos first. The Yizhou governor heard that the Central Plains was caught in a battle for the throne, so he directly followed the example of Liu Yan of the Later Han Dynasty and established Yizhou as the emperor.

However, his Yizhou emperor was wiped out by the refugees after only a few months. The leader of the refugees, Li Te, captured Chengdu and separated one side.

In order to collect military pay, many wealthy people in Luoyang suffered. For example, Shi Chong, who always liked to show off his wealth, was wiped out by Sima Lun, and all his family properties were confiscated and rewarded to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard to boost the morale of the soldiers.

The rebellious soldiers will not tell you about your status. If you don't pay money, you will be cut off, and if you give money, you may also be cut off.

Today, Liu Yuan, who has nothing to do, also wandered around the White Horse Temple and saw Wang Miao who was reading Buddhist scriptures.

After some courtesies, Liu Yuan asked: "What do you think of the current situation in the world?"

If he hadn't known that Liu Yuan was from the Huns, Wang Miao would have thought that the person in front of him was an upright Confucian gentleman.

Liu Yuan, a Hun who was more like a Han than a Han, a barbarian who was more gracious than a Confucian.

Liu Yuan wants to achieve a great cause, so he wants to win over Wang Miao, the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom. If he can get the help of the Yan Kingdom in the future, he will naturally be more confident.

Unlike ordinary Huns who just want to rob and enjoy, Liu Yuan wants to build a universal empire and reproduce the glory of Han Wu.

A Hun actually wanted to revive the great Han Dynasty, and even regarded Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as his idol. If Liu Che who was hundreds of years ago knew about it, he didn't know how he would feel.

Maybe you will sigh, the plan of the big man to merge with the Huns is perfect.

"I don't know." Wang Miao answered truthfully.

The princes and kings rebelled, and the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the former Han Dynasty was a precedent, but the court won.

"Now the world is in chaos, sir why don't you join hands with me, if I become Emperor Guangwu in the future, I will live up to you!" Liu Yuan whispered, looking at Wang Miao expectantly.

"In troubled times, it is not easy to save the lives of the whole family, so don't think too much about it." Wang Miao persuaded, and then continued to read Buddhist scriptures.

As long as it is a normal person, it is impossible for Liu Yuan to succeed in fooling him. A person who is even more down-and-out than you ran to you and said, be my subordinate. In the future, I will be the emperor, and you will be rich and prosperous.

In the face of this situation, it is very good not to treat the other party as a psychopath.

another month later

Since ancient times, the coalition forces have been mobs. The seven-nation coalition, the anti-Liu Xiu coalition, and the anti-Dong coalition have proved this fact time and time again.

The [-] troops of the three vassal kings fought independently, and no one was willing to use their own strength to consume the imperial guards. In the end, they were defeated by the imperial guards one by one. The three vassal kings fled in a hurry, leaving corpses all over the ground outside Luoyang city. .

However, soon, the pseudo-emperor Sima Lun wanted to strengthen his control over the Imperial Guards, and inserted his cronies into the Imperial Guards, which aroused the resentment of the officers of the Imperial Guards.

When the army of princes and kings regrouped and attacked Luoyang for the second time, the imperial guards rushed directly into the palace, beheaded Sima Lun, and surrendered to the vassals.

Qi Wang Sima Jiong became the new controller of Luoyang. After taking control of Luoyang, Sima Jiong also generously rewarded the Imperial Guards.

However, only a few months later, Changsha King Sima Ai took advantage of the opportunity that Qi King Sima Jiong had no caravan, led a coup with more than 100 entourages, and suddenly broke into the palace at night.

The Imperial Guard soldiers in the palace did not stop them, but watched the coup d'etat happen. They were all waiting for the new round of coup d'etat to continue to be rewarded by the new ruler.

Sima Jiong, king of Qi, was captured alive, and Sima Ai, king of Changsha, took control of the government and wanted to cut down the vassals and return the empire to stability.

However, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, were unwilling to be demoted, and once again raised troops on the side of the Qing emperor.

I don't know how many times this is the Qing emperor's side. The people in Luoyang have become numb, and the imperial guards have become accustomed to it.

At the critical moment, the imperial guards were not a light-saving lamp, and sure enough...rebellion again!
For the sake of glory and wealth, the officers of the imperial guards were rebelled by the king of Chengdu. They captured the king of Changsha, opened the gate of Luoyang, and welcomed the arrival of the king of Chengdu.

After Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, took control of Luoyang, he arrested civilian women in Luoyang City and rewarded these women to the Imperial Guards, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Guards were promoted again.

In every coup, the Janissaries will be the biggest beneficiaries.
