Chapter 800 Luoyang Mutiny
"My father is a worried person."
Standing on the deck of the Yellow River Carp, the flagship of the Donglai Fleet, Pei Xingyan said to the person who was heading to Luoyang.
In today's troubled times, Pei Renji, as a general from the Guanlong general, had no ideals and just wanted to be a nobleman who went with the flow, then he actually had no need to take the risk of creating a rebellion of Wang Shichong.
After all, although Wang Shichong seized his military power, he was still appointed as the Minister of Rites.
"Everyone can kill the traitors like Wang Shichong and Li Yuan." Lai Liulang said, his father, Duke Rong, was loyal to the emperor and loyal.
Unfortunately, he died of illness in Pengcheng in the end. Information from the Qin Dynasty's personal guards showed that Lai Hu'er's death was actually related to Li Yuan. Li Yuan sent someone to poison Lai Hu'er.
The reason why he poisoned Lai Hu'er was very simple. Li Yuan stayed in Pengcheng and Lai Hu'er had met Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao was worried about Lai Hu'er's situation and said that the Sui Dynasty had ended, and she no longer thought about how to restore the court, but she just hoped to retain some blood for the Yang family.
She hoped that Lai Hu'er could persuade Li Yuan and lead Xiao Guo to join Luo Cheng, so that he could commit less murder and restore the world to unite as soon as possible. Lai Hu'er really went to talk to Li Yuan about something, but it was a disagreement at that time, and soon, Lai Hu'er died of illness in Pengcheng.
I believe in this result of the personal guard's mansion.
My father was loyal to the emperor all his life, but the emperor was dead and the great Sui Dynasty was exhausted. At this time, even Empress Xiao didn't want to force him to hold on anymore. His father had dated Luo Cheng, and knew that Luo Cheng was a person who could end the turmoil, so he was willing to think about the people of the world.
But my father died of Li Yuan's ambition.
"If you kill Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, you can be killed."
·······
Luoyang.
Pei Renji secretly met Wang Shichong.
"Duke Zheng, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others want to kill Duke Zheng."
Wang Shichong sat on the couch, playing with a teacup in his hand, looking at Pei Renji, as if he wanted to see something from him, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything.
"No, I am the prime minister of the court, like Yuan Gong, Duke Lu, I am the same as the prime ministers of the court. Why do they kill me?" Wang Shichong pretended to be surprised.
"Because Lu Chu and others in Yuanwendu have secretly surrendered to Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng has already secretly ordered the title of Duke of their country."
Wang Shichong already knew a little about this, but he didn't know it very clearly, so he asked, "How did Mr. Pei know about it?"
"Because the dog son is under Luo Cheng's command, Luo Cheng wanted to surrender me. Before, Yuan Wendu and others wanted to surrender to Luo Cheng, so he also came to me. I am loyal to Your Majesty and support Mr. Zheng. Therefore, I agreed on the surface, but in fact I just wanted to find out the situation for Mr. Zheng." Then, Pei Renji told the plan of Yuan Wendu and others in detail.
The plan was very simple, that Emperor Tai called Wang Shichong into the palace to discuss matters, and then Wei Jin and others, who were in charge of the emperor's guards, lie in ambush in the palace. As soon as Wang Shichong entered the palace, he closed the palace gate and ambushed Wang Shichong in the palace.
Then let Pei Renji come out to take over Wang Shichong's troops and calm the morale of the army. After the matter is completed, Luo Cheng will immediately send troops.
"These fence-bearing grass swayed left and right, where did we place our soldiers? We were born and died for the court, and we sacrificed our lives and blood, but they wanted to betray us like this? If it weren't for our soldiers, Luoyang City would have been defeated by Li Mi thousands of times, and those so-called nobles and high-ranking officials would have been in danger. Now they have been kind to repay their grudges!"
Wang Shichong cursed, and at this moment, he really felt wronged.
You politicians can be shameless, be fence-bearers, be awarded officials to rioters like Li Mi, and surrender to rebels like Luo Cheng, but are the blood of us soldiers in vain?
Everyone has fought for so long and died so many brothers. In the end, everything will be in vain?
Wang Shichong was unwilling to give up.
No matter how much you scold, no matter how angry you are, the matter has to be resolved.
Before, Wang Shichong just realized something was wrong, but he had not figured out the details. Now that he has known it, things are easy to do.
"Pei Gong and Wang went to the palace together to meet His Majesty, and reported that Yuan Wendu and others were plotting chaos."
Wang Shichen immediately summoned his own guards, and then made some arrangements against his confidants.
In the afternoon, he and Pei Renji and he headed to the palace under the leadership of hundreds of guards.
"Duke Zheng, shouldn't we send someone to arrest Yuan Wendu and others?" Pei Renji asked.
The strong Wang Shichong shook his head and said viciously, "Catching people directly will inevitably cause chaos, this is the worst way to do so."
Lao Wang’s plan was very simple, first enter the palace, control the emperor, and then use the emperor’s order to eliminate the people of Yuan Wendu.
At the south gate of Hanjia City, the outer city of Luoyang Palace, Wang Shichong arrived swaggeringly.
When the officer guarding the city asked, Wang Shichong pretended to be the emperor's edict.
The officer hesitated for a while, and finally let the most powerful prime minister in Luoyang City enter.
But someone in the defenders secretly told Yuan Wendu about this situation. When Yuan Wendu heard it, he immediately felt something was wrong. The plan was not like this.
"No, Wang Shichong must have rebelled, and he wanted to threaten the emperor."
"Pei In-ki is also by Wang Shichong's side? What's going on?"
"It must be Pei Renji who joined Wang Shichong, this corrupted bone." Yuan Wen cursed. Yuan Wen didn't dare to neglect it. At this time, he was racing against time, and he didn't even have time to contact Luo Cheng's people.
Immediately, I took a shortcut to the palace.
After entering the palace to find the emperor, the evil people in Yuan Wendu complained first, saying that Wang Shichong led his troops into the palace to rebel, and then persuaded the emperor to issue an order in the name of the emperor that each army strictly guarded the palace and did not fight without authorization.
Yuan Wendu’s idea was that Wang Shichong had the army in Luoyang City, but they controlled the palace, and they had few soldiers, so they held it first. The longer they dragged it, the more time they got.
No matter what, we must first ensure the safety of the emperor. We must control the palace well and not let Wang Shichong take it away.
Unfortunately, Yuan Wen didn't know that since Wang Shichong could control military power in Luoyang for so long, he naturally had already penetrated the palace.
Yuan Wendu's order was passed down.
There were not many defenders from each gate who obeyed the order, and some of the city gate generals simply led their troops to directly surrender to Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong was as if he had entered a no-man state and easily arrived at the front gate of the palace. At this time, there were even thousands of soldiers and horses, many of whom joined his original palace guards along the way.
After hearing this news, Yuan Wen couldn't sit still.
So he could only send two important officials, Wei Jin and Huangfu Wuyi, to personally lead the troops to block the attack.
The two sides waged a great battle in front of the palace.
Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, two civil officials, also organized a group of troops to rush to Xuanwu Gate, leave the north gate of the palace, and go around behind the rebels, and attack on both sides.
This plan is not bad.
After all, Wang Shichong's main troops were all deployed in the camp outside the city, and he was faster than Wang Shichong's subordinates.
Yuan Wen hurried to Xuanwu Gate.
"Hurry open the palace gate, we will leave the palace to quell the rebellion!"
The general guarding Xuanwu Gate saw the two prime ministers holding horizontal swords, so he quickly agreed to open the door.
But after a long time, the door didn't open.
"What are you rubbing?"
"I can't find the key to the palace gate when I return to the prime minister." The guard said stammeringly.
"How come it can't be found?"
"The key was placed here before, but it is gone now." The guard said helplessly.
"Look!" Yuan Wen said angrily.
The crowd searched around, but after searching for more than a long time, they couldn't find where the damn key was.
In the end, Yuan Wen had to believe that Wang Shichong's subordinates secretly stole the key, and were furious and had to return the same way.
But during the period when they were looking for the key, Wang Shichong and Pei Renji had defeated Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Jin and entered the palace smoothly.
At this time, Lu Chu hurried over from Xuanwu Gate with more than 100 people, but was surrounded at once.
Wang Shichong looked at Lu Chu who was holding the knife and said coldly, "Kill the knife to death!"
Countless soldiers and generals fired arrows at once, stabbing guns and stabbing them with swords and swords.
Lu Chu and the more than a hundred guards died.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shichong ordered his men to attack Ziwei Sect.
After all, Emperor Taizhu was young. He heard that Wang Shichong had already entered the palace and was so scared that he was speechless. "You go and ask Wang Shichong why he led his army into the palace and what he intended?"
Wang Shichong was still respectful. He told the people, "Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others secretly surrendered to the pseudo-Qin, with bad intentions and bad intentions. I was too late to serve the king and rescue the emperor. I was disturbed. Please forgive me for your crimes."
At this time, the emperor turned his head and looked at Yuan Wendu in front of him. The Yuan prime minister ran around, sweating profusely, and was breathing there.
"What else Wang Shichong said?" asked Huang Taizhu.
"The Prime Minister of the King said that he would like to kill Yuan Wendu, and he would apologize to His Majesty."
When Yuan Wen heard this, his face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, it was Wang Shichong who rebelled, and it was Wang Shichong who caused the rebellion."
The emperor was silent.
So Yuan Wen knew that he had been sold, and he sighed sadly, "I died in the morning, and it's Your Majesty's turn to die in the evening."
But what can the emperor do at this time? There were Yuan Wendu and others before. In Luoyang City, Wang Shichong and Pei Renji led the troops, Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, etc., and Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others were responsible for the internal affairs, but now Pei Renji and Wang Shichong actually stood together, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others were killed again, and Wang Shichong had already led his troops into the palace. What could he do?
"Your Majesty, the old minister is going to take a step first." Yuan Wen also acted as a loyal minister, as if he had never secretly surrendered to Fu Luo Cheng before.
At this time, the emperor couldn't help but burst into tears.
As the emperor cried, Wang Shichong's subordinates had already arrived outside the palace. Yuan Wen knew that he could not escape, so he could only walk out of the palace amid the emperor cried. As soon as he left the palace, he was pulled aside by Wang Shichong's troops and was cut to death by random knives like Lu Chu.
"My minister Wang Shichong is late to protect him, and he will die!"
Outside the hall, Wang Shichong said loudly.
Chapter completed!
