"My father was a man of concern."

Standing on the deck of the Yellow River Carp, the flagship of the Donglai fleet, Pei Xingyan said to the people who were also going to Luoyang.

In today's troubled times, Pei Renji, as a general from Guan Long's generals, if he doesn't have any ideals and ambitions, and just wants to be a nobleman who goes with the flow, then he doesn't need to take the risk of making Wang Shichong rebel.

After all, although Wang Shichong seized his military power, he still placed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, and other chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished." Lai Rokuro said that his father, Rong Guogong, was loyal to the emperor and was loyal.

It's a pity that he died of illness in Pengcheng in the end, and there is intelligence from the Great Qin Guard's Governor's Mansion that Lai Hu'er's death is actually related to Li Yuan, and it was Li Yuan who sent someone to poison Lai Hu'er.

And the reason why he poisoned Laihu'er was very simple, when Li Yuan stayed in Pengcheng, Laihu'er met Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao was worried about the situation in the world to Laihu'er, and said that the Great Sui was exhausted, and she no longer thought about how to restore the imperial court, but just hoped to preserve a little blood for the Yang family.

She hoped that Laihu'er could persuade Li Yuan to lead Xiaoguo to join Luo Cheng, so that she could reduce the number of killings and reunify the world as soon as possible. Laihu'er really went to Li Yuan to talk about something, but they broke up unhappily, and soon after, Laihu'er died of illness in Pengcheng.

I fully believe in this result of the Governor's Mansion.

My father was loyal to the emperor all his life, but the emperor was dead, and the Great Sui was exhausted, at this time, even Empress Xiao didn't want to hold on anymore, my father also had dealings with Luo Cheng, I knew this person, and I clearly knew that Luo Cheng was the one who could end the turmoil, so he was willing to think about the people of the world.

But his father died because of Li Yuan's ambition.

"If you kill Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, you can calm the world, and you can kill them."

·······

Luoyang.

Pei Renji secretly met Wang Shichong.

"Gong Zheng, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others want to kill Zheng Gong."

Wang Shichong sat on the couch, playing with a teacup in his hand, and looked at Pei Renji, as if he wanted to see something from him, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything.

"No, I'm the prime minister of the court with Duke Lu of Yuan, why do they want to kill me?" Wang Shichong pretended to be surprised.

"Because Yuanwendu Lu Chu and others have secretly surrendered to Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng has secretly sealed them as the Duke of the Kingdom."

Wang Shichong already knew something about this, but he didn't know it very clearly, so he asked, "How did Pei Gong know?" ”

"Because the dog is under Luo Cheng's command, so Luo Cheng wants to recruit me, before Yuan Wendu and others wanted to vote for Luo Cheng, they also came to me, I am loyal to Your Majesty and support Zheng Gong, so I agreed on the surface, but in fact, I just wanted to find out the situation for Zheng Gong." Then, Pei Renji told Yuan Wendu and the others about their plans.

The plan is very simple, that is, Emperor Tai recruited Wang Shichong into the palace to discuss matters, and then Wei Jin and others, who controlled the emperor's guards, ambushed in the palace, and 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 soldiers and horses, appease the army, and when the matter is completed, Luo Cheng will send troops over.

"Where do these wall grasses, swaying from side to side, put our soldiers? We were born and died for the court, throwing our heads and spilling blood, but they want to betray us like this? If it weren't for our soldiers, Luoyang City would have been attacked by Li Mi thousands of times, and those so-called nobles and high-ranking officials would have lost their heads, but now they will take revenge! ”

Wang Shichong scolded, at this moment, he really felt wronged.

You politicians can be shameless, you can be a grass on the wall, you can give officials to thieves like Li Mi, and you can surrender to thieves like Luo Cheng, but will the blood of our soldiers be shed in vain?

Everyone has fought for so long and died so many brothers, is everything empty in the end?

Wang Shichong was unwilling.

Scolding and scolding, anger and anger, but things still have to be resolved.

Before, Wang Shichong only sensed that something was wrong, but he hadn't figured out the details yet, but now that he knew it, things would be easy to do.

"Please go to the palace with Wang to see Your Majesty, and report Yuan Wendu and others for plotting rebellion."

Wang Shicheng immediately gathered his own guards, and then made arrangements for his henchmen.

In the afternoon, he and Pei Renji, led by hundreds of guards, went to the palace.

"Gong Zheng, shouldn't you send someone to arrest Yuan Wendu and the others?" Bae In-ki asked.

The sturdy Wang Shichong shook his head, and said a little ruthlessly, "Arresting people directly will inevitably cause turmoil, this is the next policy." ”

Lao Wang's plan was very simple, enter the palace first, control the emperor, and then use the emperor's order to get rid of those people in Yuanwendu.

The south gate of the outer city of Luoyang Palace, including Jiacheng, Wang Shichong arrived with a swagger.

When the officers guarding the city asked, Wang Shichong pretended to be an edict from the emperor.

The officer hesitated, but finally let the most powerful prime minister in Luoyang City enter.

But someone in the defenders quietly told Yuan Wendu about the situation, and when Yuan Wendu heard it, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and the plan was not like this.

"No, Wang Shichong must have rebelled, and he wants to hold the emperor hostage."

"Pei Renji is also by Wang Shichong's side? What's going on? ”

"It must be Pei Renji who voted for Wang Shichong, this soft bone." Yuan Wen scolded loudly. Yuan Wen didn't dare to slack off, at this time it was a race against time, and he didn't even have time to contact Luo Cheng's people.

immediately took a shortcut and rushed to the palace.

After entering the palace and finding the emperor, the wicked people of Yuan Wendu first complained, saying that Wang Shichong led troops into the palace to rebel, and then said that the emperor was moved, and issued an order in the name of the Son of Heaven that all armies strictly guard the gates of the palace and are not allowed to fight without authorization.

Yuan Wendu's idea was that Wang Shichong controlled the army in Luoyang City, but the palace was controlled by them, and they had few soldiers, so they held it off first, and the longer it was delayed, the more time it would get.

In any case, the safety of the emperor must be ensured first, and the palace must be controlled, and Wang Shichong cannot be taken away.

It's a pity that Yuan Wen didn't know that since Wang Shichong had been able to control the military power in Luoyang for so long, he had naturally infiltrated the palace a long time ago.

Yuan Wendu's order was handed down.

There were not a few defenders at each gate who obeyed the order, and even some city gate generals simply led their troops directly to Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong was like entering a no-man's land, and he easily came to the front gate of the palace, and even at this time there were as many as thousands of soldiers and horses, many of whom were the original palace guards who joined him along the way.

Hearing this news, Yuan Wen couldn't sit still.

So he could only hurriedly send Wei Jin and Huangfu Wuyi, two important ministers who knew the army, to personally rush to lead the troops to block the attack.

The two sides started a big battle in front of the palace.

And Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, the two civil ministers, also temporarily organized a group of people and horses, ready to rush to the Xuanwu Gate, out of the north gate of the palace, and around the back of the rebels, to come to a two-sided attack.

This plan can be said to be not impossible.

After all, at that time, Wang Shichong's main troops and horses were deployed in the camp outside the city, and he bypassed the palace faster than Wang Shichong's subordinates.

Yuan Wendu hurried to Xuanwu Gate.

"Hurry up and open the palace gate, I'm going to leave the palace to quell the chaos!"

The generals guarding the Xuanwu Gate saw the two prime ministers carrying horizontal swords, so they hurriedly agreed to open the door.

But after a long time, I didn't see the door open.

"Rubbing what?"

"Back to Xiangguo, I can't find the key to the palace gate." The keeper stammered.

"How could I not find it?"

"The key was left here before, but now it's gone." The guard also said helplessly.

"Find!" Yuan Wendu said angrily.

A group of people searched around, but after searching for most of the day, they couldn't find where the damn key was.

In the end, Yuan Wendu had to think that Wang Shichong's subordinates had secretly stolen the key, and he was furious, so he had to return the same way.

But during the time they were looking for the key, Wang Shichong and Pei Renji had already defeated Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Jin and entered the palace smoothly.

Lu Chu came from Xuanwu Gate with more than a hundred people at this time, but he was surrounded all of a sudden.

Wang Shichong looked at Lu Chu, who was carrying a knife, and just said coldly, "Hack to death with a knife!" ”

Countless soldiers and generals fired arrows in unison, slashing and stabbing guns.

Lu Chu and the more than 100 guards were all dead.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shichong ordered his subordinates to attack Ziwei Gate.

After all, the emperor is young, and when he heard that Wang Shichong had entered the palace, his face was frightened, "You go and ask Wang Shichong, why did you lead the army to break into the palace, and what did you want?" ”

Wang Shichong was still respectful, and he was humane, "Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others secretly surrendered to the puppet Qin, plotting against each other, with bad intentions, and the ministers and Pei Shang Shuqin were late to save the car, and they were disturbed, please forgive your majesty." ”

At this time, the emperor turned his head to look at Yuan Wendu who was in front of him, this Yuan Xiangguo was running around, sweating profusely, and he was out of breath wheezing.

"What else does Wang Shichong say?" The Emperor asked.

"Wang Xiangguo said, please Your Majesty to kill Yuan Wendu, and he is willing to ask Your Majesty for guilt."

When Yuan Wendu heard this, his face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, it is Wang Shichong who rebels, and it is Wang Shichong who makes trouble."

The Emperor was silent.

So Yuan Wen knew that he had been sold, and he sighed very sadly, "If the minister dies in the morning, it will be Your Majesty's turn in the evening." ”

But what can the emperor do at this time, there were Yuan Wendu and others before, in this Luoyang City, Wang Shichong and Pei Renji led the soldiers and horses, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others were in charge of internal affairs, and Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin and others were in charge of the palace guards, but now, Pei Renji and Wang Shichong actually stood together, Lu Chu and Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin, etc. were killed again, Wang Shichong had already led troops into the palace, what could he do.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has taken a step first." Yuan Wendu still acted as a loyal minister, as if he had never secretly attached himself to Luo Cheng before.

At this time, the emperor couldn't help but suddenly burst into tears.

In the emperor's cry, Wang Shichong's subordinates had come to the outside of the palace, Yuan Wendu knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only walk out of the palace in the emperor's cry, and as soon as he got out of the palace, he was pulled aside by Wang Shichong's department, and was hacked to death with a knife like Lu Chu.

"The minister Wang Shichong is too late to escort him, and he will die!"

Outside the hall, Wang Shichong said in a loud voice.

The emperor's cry grew louder and louder!
