A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 190 Good and evil will be rewarded in the end

Rewinding time to half an hour ago, the eunuchs around Emperor Han were constantly killed by the pursuers, until the last one was killed. Emperor Han fled to a courtyard and found that the horses and horses were all palace maids. He quickly ordered them to stop the pursuers. Soldier, he ran into the house.

The maids looked at each other, and soon the only three remaining pursuers came in fiercely with swords in their hands. One of the eunuchs, whose face was stained with blood, asked the maids where the Emperor of Han was? I hope they don't make mistakes.

The palace maids looked at one of the palace maids, and the palace maid nuzzled at the three people. Soon, several slightly stronger palace maids suddenly rushed out from the crowd, carrying sticks, and beat the three eunuchs three times. kill.

Then everyone asked the palace maid in charge: "Sister Zhang, what should we do next?"

The palace lady surnamed Zhang said: "Sister Shangguan has told us a long time ago that this emperor is not a good person. If it weren't for him, would Empress Ren have died so early?

After that, he killed and insulted us palace maids wantonly. If Sister Shangguan hadn't asked us to stay away from him, I'm afraid we would have suffered from him too. "

A palace maid hesitated and said: "Then..."

The palace lady surnamed Zhang said: "Empress Ren once said that women can also contribute their strength to the world. Now that we know that the emperor is not a wise king, or even a coward, do we still want to allow her to bring harm to the world?
Now that he has been sent to us by heaven, it is time for us to do justice for heaven. A few days ago, he ordered the construction of the North Palace. I think many of your fathers and brothers were asked to do corvee service! As long as he dies, won't the world be at peace? "

The palace maids thought of what the Han Emperor had done and agreed very much with the words of the palace maid named Zhang. They had been enlightened by Empress Bai, and now the culprit who destroyed all this was in despair. And right in front of their eyes, wasn't this what God had given them? duty of?

After hearing no sound for a long time, Emperor Han opened the door to observe the situation outside. He saw the palace maids gathered together to discuss something, and the bodies of the pursuers were lying on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly opened the door.

The palace maids were all aware of this move, and turned to look at the Han Emperor. The Han Emperor committed his old habit again. Seeing that some of them were pretty, he said: "If you save me, I will definitely reward you greatly. Seeing that you are quite handsome, can I bring you into the harem and enjoy the wealth?"

The Han Emperor thought that this was the greatest reward for these maids, but little did he know that these people were trying their best to escape here to avoid his insults.

The maids exchanged glances and made up their minds. Then the maids who had just killed the pursuers slowly walked towards the Han Emperor. These were female soldiers who had retired before.

The Han Emperor sensed something was wrong, looked flustered and shouted loudly: "How dare you, I am the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, your king and father!"

Seeing that it was useless, the Han Emperor was anxious and said wisely: "I am the biological son of Empress Ren. Don't you admire Empress Ren the most? How dare you kill her son?"

But it was still useless. Several people beat the Han Emperor with sticks until he was barely alive. The palace maid named Zhang stepped forward and looked at the Han Emperor and said, "Are you worthy of being the son of Empress Ren?" After saying this, she hit the Han Emperor with a stick. head on.

In order to prevent everyone from being implicated, the palace maid named Zhang asked everyone to hit the Han emperor several times. She also picked up the eunuch's sword and stabbed the corpse several times to prevent him from dying.

Then he was thrown into the eunuch's room not far away, blamed on the eunuchs, and the ground was cleaned up.

It didn't take long for a large number of soldiers and officials to pour into the eunuch's quarters next door, but they were all gone soon, along with the miserable corpse of the Han Emperor and several other eunuchs. body.

Bai Qi, Pingyang Marquis Cao Cheng, and Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang looked at each other in disbelief, while Tian Guangyong, the doctor's commander, looked at the Han Emperor's corpse and was very sad. He thought that it was his own inability to protect the Han Emperor that led to the Han Emperor's tragic death, and he was a disgrace to the late Emperor and Benevolence. Later, he was asked to kill himself on the spot after saying this.

Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Tian Guangyong and said: "You can't do this, the late emperor's son still has the King of Zhongshan, he still needs to be protected by adults!" Cao Cheng and Liu Zhang also tried to dissuade Tian Guangyong from the side, and finally persuaded Tian Guangyong to stop.

Bai Qidao: "I'm here to take care of it. There are still remnants of the Lu family in Changle Palace. Please two adults to eradicate them as soon as possible to avoid going wrong."

Liu Zhang quickly took the remaining cavalry and the talismans found from the eunuch Liu Neng to Changle Palace and beheaded the Changle Palace guard Lu Gengshi. When returning, Zhu Xuhou drove into the Northern Army and reported to Taiwei Zhou Bo.

When Zhou Bo heard that Lu Chan had been executed, he stood up, knelt down and congratulated Zhu Xuhou, saying, "We are only worried about Lu Chan. Now that Lu Chan has been executed, the world will be at peace."

So he sent someone to tell Bai Jun the situation. Both of them learned that the Han Emperor was dead, but neither of them had too much emotion. Instead, they jointly ordered the arrest of all the men and women of the Lu family in Beijing, except for the Lu Tai lineage provided by Lu Tong. , and a few of the Lu family members who did not participate, the rest of the Lu family members, old and young, were all beheaded.

After Zhou Bo sent troops, Bai Jun sent officials, and Lu Tong provided the list, the entire city of Chang'an soon fell silent, leaving only a few hundred heads billowing at the south intersection of the city.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine shone on the city of Chang'an, dispersing all the gloom of the night. However, the owner of Chang'an was no longer there. Overnight, it was like two worlds. Many people disappeared and many more people appeared.

The city guards kept spraying water on the streets and brushing the blood on the ground with brushes, trying to bury everything from yesterday.

The ministers stepped through the trickling blood in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace and went to the main hall to hold a court meeting as usual. They all knew what happened last night and were very nervous in their hearts, not knowing what would happen. When the ministers went to the hall, they saw only three people standing in front, namely Zongzheng Liu Zhang, Taiwei Zhou Bo and Right Prime Minister Bai Jun. They all looked at each other and followed the three most powerful men of the Han Dynasty slowly into the hall.

It's just that the throne at the top is empty at this time.

"Everyone must know that yesterday Zhou Luhou Lu Chan rebelled and led troops to attack Weiyang Palace. His Majesty died in the rebellion, and Lu Chan and his accomplices were put down by me, Taiwei and Zong Zheng." Bai Junhao He said what happened last night in an understatement without expression.

He looked at the officials and said, "However, most of the Lu family and their accomplices have been pacified, but there are still remnants of the Lu family. Now I have a list of people who have defected to the Lu family. I will read it below."

Every time a name is read, someone falls from the crowd.

Soon, the list of more than forty people was read out. With a wave of Bai Jun's hand, Bai Qi led his troops to the palace. After saluting the three giants, he dragged these people out.

When the voices outside disappeared, Bai Jun said: "Although the Lu family rebellion has been put down, His Majesty unfortunately passed away, and His Majesty's posthumous title should also be given. And as the saying goes, a country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the new emperor must also It’s finalized. In addition, the coalition of princes is still waiting for news from us outside the pass. Let’s discuss what to do!”

In the end, all the ministers agreed that the word "Dang" was very suitable for Liu Gong. In addition, he did not have a temple name and did not add the word "filial piety". He was buried in Danling to the west of Chang'an and was called Emperor Dang of the Han Dynasty.

Then Liu Zhang spoke up and said: "The troops outside the pass can be easily dealt with. The Lu family's rebellion that caused trouble in the palace has been eradicated, and the Dang Emperor has unfortunately passed away. The princes have no reason to move west again. After all, the imperial court does not have the power to pacify them." , they are also very aware of it, so they can retreat from the enemy with just one letter."

Bai Jun saluted Liu Zhang and said, "Then there is Lao Zongzheng!"

Liu Zhang replied: "I don't dare!"

Okay, now the ministers can only discuss the new emperor, and there is no way to escape. As time goes by, someone finally said: "The benevolent emperor has another son, why not make the second son of the late emperor Zhongshan King! He is the late emperor With your bloodline, it is the most appropriate thing to succeed to the throne!"

Many people agreed, including doctor Tian Guangyong, but Zhou Bo and Liu Zhang both looked at Bai Jun.

Bai Jun said slowly: "No! Everyone also knows that today's events are all related to Emperor Dang. As the old saying goes, it is the teacher who has learned from the past and the teacher behind the wheel. The characters of King Zhongshan and Emperor Dang are very similar. After they were granted the title of Zhongshan Kingdom, There are no less than twenty concubines, but they are not as licentious as the Emperor. If he is made the emperor, what if he is another Emperor?

Now Emperor Ren only has this son. When something happens, won't we all be living up to Emperor Ren's kindness? "

Everyone understood, and even Lang Zhongling did not object. At this time, someone said: "Why don't we establish the King of Qi? King Qi Huihui is the eldest son of Emperor Gao, and the current King of Qi is his legitimate son. From the blood relationship He said that he was the closest grandson to Emperor Gao except King Zhongshan and could be established as emperor."

Some ministers said: "The Lu family used their status as relatives to do evil and almost endanger the country, so that they continued to persecute heroes and used their status to directly make slanderous remarks to the emperor. Therefore, the choice of the emperor depends on his mother's family and his wife's family.

Sijun, the mother of the King of Qi, was heard to be a wicked person, and the people of Qi were deeply persecuted by him. If the King of Qi is established as the emperor, the Lu Rebellion will happen again. "

Some people proposed to make Liu Chang, King of Huainan, the emperor, but everyone thought that he was young and his mother's family was very vicious, so he was not suitable.

Then the ministers thought about it, and mentioned King Dai Liu Heng. Someone said: "King Dai is the oldest among the sons of Emperor Gao, and they heard that he is kind, filial, tolerant and kind."

Someone else echoed: "Not only that, Emperor Ren also praised Dai Wang's ability many times, saying that he managed Dai's country very well."

"The Queen Mother's family, the Bo family, is also cautious and kind, so there is no need to worry about the Lu family's rebellion."

"Not only that, it is just and right to make the eldest son the emperor, and the king is famous for his kindness and filial piety, so it is most appropriate to make him the emperor."

Everyone thought that King Dai was the best candidate. Finally, Bai Jun made the decision himself and appointed King Dai as emperor. He sent people to ask for his opinion, and sent Liu Zhang to evacuate the enemies in Guandong.

December st

Liu Zhang informed the King of Qi about the execution of the Lu family and the destabilization of the emperor. The King of Qi had no reason to march westward, and other princes and kings also withdrew their troops. Under the pressure of the court, they had to withdraw their troops and return home, and Guan Ying's The army also withdrew from Xingyang.
