Chapter 464: Queen Mother died suddenly

Just as Liu Ji led a fierce battle with the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms in the Western Regions, a major incident occurred in the capital of Da Jin. The empress dowager of the Da Jin dynasty, on the night of July 6, 428, suddenly He died suddenly without warning. According to the imperial physician's diagnosis of the Queen Mother Zhou, it was discovered that the Queen Mother Zhou was poisoned and died. Suddenly the entire Dajin court fell into turmoil.

On the evening of July 8th, in a meeting room at the mansion of Prince Dou Yan of the Ministry of War in Canglong City, Tai Wei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, Tai Wei Yang Zhong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tai Wei Wang Zhihuan of the Ministry of Justice, Tai Wei Zhao Boran of the Xing Department, Tai Wei Tai Wei Sun Mingtao, Hubu Taiwei Zheng Kai, Military Department Shangshu Han Renji, Official Department Shangshu Wu Ziyu, Hubu Shangshu Zhang Shunran, Criminal Department Shangshu Chen Sikai, Hussar General Xiao Su, Hussar General Li Hong, and Hussar General He Guangzong, these 13 can represent The important court officials from the thirteen top families of the Jin Dynasty were all gathered here, and everyone's expressions were very solemn.

Hussar General Li Hong and Hussar General He Guangzong, who had just led the Forbidden Army who had just gone to the southeast Qizhou to counter the rebellion, and the other 34 Luping rebels returned to Canglong City.

After the Red Scarf Army accepted the enrollment of the Jin Dynasty, they all retreated to the territory of Suzhou. They were reorganized into 25 Xiangjun guards in Suzhou. Zhang Mingqi, the leader of the Red Scarf Army, also took over the position of Zhou Mu in Suzhou.

The court's various forces countered the rebel army, and saw that the Red Scarf Army had no intention of turning back, so they returned to Canglong City happily, waiting for the court's reward.

However, the rewards of the imperial court to the rebels have not yet been discussed, and the queen dowager, who is listening to politics, is poisoned to death.

Except for the Forbidden Army, the thirty-four Luping rebels had all entered the outskirts of Canglong City at this time, making the situation in Canglong City even more complicated.

The Crown Prince Zhao Boran of the Criminal Ministry said in a deep voice: “The characteristics of the queen mother’s poisoning are too obvious to hide the past. According to the evidence currently available, it is very likely that the queen mother was poisoned to death by a court lady next to him. The palace lady has already taken poison and committed suicide. With the death of this palace lady, all clues are now broken."

The military chief Dou Yan frowned and asked Zhao Boran, the criminal chief: "When did that maid enter the palace? She died, so is there any suspicion of those close to her? The dignified queen mother of a country was poisoned to death. , We cannot let the real murderer go unpunished!"

The Crown Lieutenant Zhao Boran shook his head and said: "The maid entered the palace since she was a child. Now she has been in the palace for more than ten years. She has also stayed with the queen dowager for almost three years. Her family suffered from a plague a few years ago. , All are gone, and no clue can be found from her. Now all the eunuchs and court ladies in the Mercy Palace have been controlled by our criminal department, but there is no evidence from these eunuchs and court ladies. Clues to value."

The military chief Dou Yan sighed and said: "The Criminal Ministry must try its best to find out the real culprit behind the poisonous death of the Queen Mother. Don't let people misunderstand the death of the Queen Mother. It is related to our thirteenth generation family."

Lieutenant Yang Zhong then smiled bitterly and said: "Now it is rumored in the capital that our thirteenth family poisoned the queen mother. I have asked the government officials in the capital to arrest the person who spread the rumors, but the results have been minimal. It spread throughout the capital."

After a pause, Yang Zhong, the Crown Lieutenant of the Official Department, continued: "What's worse, many people believed this rumor, including our emperor. The two emperors made a lot of noise."

The military chief Dou Yan snorted and said: "Our emperor is so naive, thinking that with the 80,000 to 90,000 people from Qianzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Chong, Pizhou Mu Liu Yuan, and Qinzhou Mu Liu Du, It has shaken the foundation of our thirteenth generation family, it is simply whimsical!"

This time I went to the southeast seven prefectures to counter the rebellion. Liu Chong, animal husbandry in Qianzhou Prefecture, brought 40,000 troops, Liu Yuan, animal husbandry in Pizhou Prefecture, 30,000 troops, and Liu Du, animal husbandry, Qinzhou, also brought 30,000 troops, but among the 100,000 troops , Also includes nearly 30,000 auxiliary soldiers escorting grain and grass.

The army of these three prefectures and herdsmen lost some soldiers outside the city of Qinhuai. Today, the total number of soldiers and horses of the three prefectures and herdsmen is only 87,000, of which the number of soldiers is less than 60,000.

Hussar General Li Hong said loudly: "Although General He and I only brought back 150,000 elites from the Imperial Army this time, we also brought back 100,000 elites recruited from the Xiangjun of the Southeastern States and the local army. , Plus the original 350,000 elites of the Forbidden Army in the capital and the 100,000 new recruits of the Forbidden Army, our Sixteenth Guards still has a huge force of 700,000. The three clan’s tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, don’t What do you want to make in the capital!"

The Crown Lieutenant Sun Mingtao of the Ministry of Industry said suddenly: "I heard that the emperor seems to have secretly controlled a part of the Forbidden Army. Now the situation in the capital is complicated. The Forbidden Army must make no mistakes."

Hussar General He Guangzong said with a slight corner of his mouth: "Don’t worry, sirs. Several of the Forbidden Army generals who have taken refuge in the emperor have all been killed in the southeast counter-insurgency. Those thousands of Forbidden Army generals who have fallen to the emperor are also fighting All the rebels died heroically, and the Forbidden Army is still the Forbidden Army of our thirteenth family!"

The military chief Dou Yan nodded and said: "During this period, we must be more careful. Now in the outskirts of the capital, there are still thirty-four road rebels. The total number of these thirty-four road rebels is almost 80. Ten thousand people, the Forbidden Army must strengthen the defense of the entire capital, and must not be careless!"

Hussar General Xiao Su, Hussar General Li Hong, and Hussar General He Guangzong nodded one after another, indicating that the Forbidden Army would do a good job in the defense of the entire capital, and would never give the little ones a chance.

Prince Libu Wang Zhihuan said indifferently: "Among the thirty-four Luping rebels outside Canglong City, there are nine state shepherds and twelve soldiers and horses of the prefect. They are all related to our thirteen aristocratic families. The three clan families will be mixed up with the emperor. With 700,000 forbidden troops there, the emperor will not be able to turn the sky over."

Dou Yan, Taiwei of the Ministry of War, said: “Wang Taiwei is reasonable, so you don’t need to worry too much about the current situation. Without the Queen Mother Zhou who is listening to the government, the court and our thirteen ministers will not be able to get out. What a mess."

Liu Bian, the last emperor of the Jin Dynasty, also died violently. Later, with the compromise of the Queen Mother, 13 court ministers, including the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, were appointed as ministers of Gu Ming to assist the Queen Mother in charge of the government.

When thirteen important court officials gathered at the mansion of Prince Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, in the Yangxin Palace in the Canglong City Palace, the Emperor Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Qingyao, the minister of ritual: "Uncle, now the queen mother is murdered. I am dead, I want to avenge my mother!"

When the minister of the Ministry of Rites heard it, Zhou Qingyao said in a hurry: "The emperor, do not act impulsively. Although the forbidden army lost about 300,000 elites during the counterinsurgency of the seven southeast states, after supplementing, the forbidden army in the capital still has Seven hundred thousand people, these seven hundred thousand forbidden troops will not obey the emperor's will at all. They will all stand on the side of the thirteenth family. Once the emperor acts impulsively, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The emperor Liu Heng said angrily: "Uncle, mother and queen have been killed by members of the thirteenth family, how can I not be impulsive! Nowadays, Liu Chong, Mu Liu Yuan in Qianzhou Prefecture, Mu Liu Yuan in Pizhou Prefecture and Liu Du, Mu in Qinzhou Prefecture Soldiers and horses, just on the outskirts of Canglong City, I am going to let the army of these three clan enter the side of Qingjun in the capital to eradicate the anti-thief headed by the six lieutenants!"

Zhou Qingyao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said in shock: "The emperor must not! The three clan families have less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Facing 700,000 elite troops, it is like hitting the stone with pebbles, not to mention the other thirty-one roads on the outskirts of the capital. The army, there are many minions from the thirteenth family, and the emperor has no chance of winning at all! Besides, the real culprit who killed the queen dowager has not been determined to be the thirteenth family!"

The emperor Liu Heng said angrily: "Apart from the thirteenth family, who can kill the mother's queen! The father died violently, and now the mother's queen has been poisoned to death. Even if there is no chance of winning, I will still Burn with the jade of the thirteenth family!"

Then the emperor Liu Heng said: "Uncle, I also called Qianzhou Mu Liu Chong, Pizhou Mu Liu Yuan, and Qinzhou Mu Liu Du to enter the palace tonight to discuss matters. We will discuss how we can seize the entire capital."

Seeing Liu Heng rushing into the crown, Zhou Qingyao, the minister of rites, knew that he would not listen to Liu Heng's advice. Zhou Qingyao only hoped that the three clan families would not play around with Liu Heng, otherwise the consequences would be absolutely unthinkable.

Soon after, Qianzhou State Mu Liu Chong, Pizhou State Mu Liu Yuan, and Qinzhou State Mu Liu Du were taken into the Palace of Yangxin by several eunuchs.

"Liu Chong, the minister of Qianzhou Prefecture, has met the emperor!"

"Chen Pizhou Prefecture Mu Liu Yuan pays homage to the emperor!"

"Chen Qinzhou, shepherd Liu Du, see the emperor!"

Emperor Liu Heng asked the three prefectures anxiously: "How are you discussing? Do you agree to be on the side of Qingjun?"

Qianzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Chong, Pizhou Prefecture Mu Liu Yuan, and Qinzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Du looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces. Yesterday, the three of them were summoned into the palace by the emperor, and the emperor asked them three The men led troops into Canglong City, in the name of the Qing emperor, arrested thirteen important court officials, including the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, and took over hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Canglong City.

The emperor’s request did not scare Liu Chong, Liu Yuan, and Liu Du to death. You must know that the total number of troops in their three hands is 87,000. Among them, there are only less than 60,000 soldiers. Thirty thousand people are auxiliary soldiers with very weak combat effectiveness.

With such a small army, how can you be an opponent of the Forbidden Army in the capital, let alone enter the capital, once the three of them act rashly, you don’t even need to do anything by the Forbidden Army. Those who follow the orders of the thirteenth family will be able to counter the rebels. Swallow the tens of thousands of troops in the hands of the three.

Yesterday, the three state shepherds only persuaded Liu Heng a few words, and then saw that Liu Heng was going to kill, so they stopped persuading him, they could only say to Liu Heng that this time it’s important and they need to go back and talk to their confidants. Discuss it.

Unexpectedly, the emperor Liu Heng was so anxious that he called the three of them into the palace again this evening.

Liu Chong, the shepherd of Qianzhou Prefecture, glanced at Zhou Qingyao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites next to him, and then said: "I don't know Lord Zhou, what do you think of the emperor's plan?"

Before Zhou Qingyao spoke, Emperor Liu Heng said, "I don't need to ask my uncle. I have made up my mind. In any case, I must avenge my mother and take back the power of the court!"

Liu Chong, the shepherd of Qianzhou Prefecture, said bitterly: "The emperor and ministers are all children of the clan. They can have their current status thanks to the gifts of the emperor and the empress dowager. The third family eradicated it, but now the forbidden army in the capital is in the hands of the thirteen family, and the armies in the hands of the three of us add up to less than 60,000 capable fighters. It is not an opponent of the forbidden army at all!"

Liu Yuan, the pastor of Pizhou Prefecture, immediately said: "Master Liu Chong makes sense. As children of the clan, even if the three of us are defeated and killed, we are still seeking benevolence and benevolence, but the defeat of the three of us will inevitably lead to the emperor. If the thirteenth family is unfavorable to the emperor because of this, then the three of us will die, and we can't shirk our blame!"

Liu Du, the animal husband of the Qinzhou Prefecture, also persuaded the emperor Liu Heng: "The emperor's body of ten thousand gold, if anything goes wrong, it will shake the foundation of our great Jin. The emperor asks the emperor to bear the humiliation for a while, and wait for us to master more. Strength, it’s not too late to clean up the thirteenth family!"

The emperor Liu Heng's face became uglier the more I listened to it~www.wuxiahere.com~ I am not afraid of death. In order to avenge my mother's queen, even if I take my life, I am willing! "

The Minister of Rites Zhou Qingyao sighed and said: "The emperor, according to the current situation, even if the emperor takes his life, he will not be able to touch the thirteenth family. The emperor, let's continue to bear it!"

Liu Heng roared angrily: "No! I can't bear it anymore! I must avenge my mother!"

For Liu Heng's persistent desire to take revenge, Zhou Qingyao, the minister of rites and the three state shepherds, all smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They never dared to toss about with the emperor Liu Heng.

Seeing that the few people he relied on were unwilling to avenge his mother's queen, Liu Heng couldn't help feeling sad and cried.

Seeing that the emperor was crying, Zhou Qingyao, the minister of rites, also started crying. He was the younger brother of the Queen Mother, so he didn't want to avenge the Queen Mother!

The three state shepherds, who were children of the clan, shed tears when they saw the crying emperor.

Liu Du, the animal husband of the Qinzhou prefecture, said to Liu Heng in a sad voice: "The emperor does not have the opportunity to eradicate the thirteen aristocratic families. Now there are two forces in Dajin that can compete with the thirteen aristocratic families, as long as the emperor can get one of them. With the help of the forces, we will have the opportunity to eradicate the thirteen families!"

Several people in the Yangxin Palace understand that the two forces mentioned by Liu Du, the animal husbandry of Qinzhou Prefecture, respectively refer to the Broken Army and the Suzhou Xiang Army adapted from the Red Turban Army.

Liu Heng wiped away his tears and said: "I have sent someone to inform General Liu Ji. The general Liu Ji is my brother-in-law and will definitely support me! But now the general is leading the army and the four powers of the Western Regions. It’s impossible for the coalition forces of China to mobilize troops to Beijing, and the Suzhou Xiang Army has just returned to the imperial court. Will the Suzhou Xiang Army obey my will?"
