Chapter 41 The Truth

In order to deal with the current chaos, settle the matter and allow Wu Beikun to successfully succeed to the throne, Queen Huang asked Wu Shizheng to come forward and tell the ministers that he was unwilling to succeed and had repeatedly declined, so that Wu Shizhong had to give up the throne.

Pass it on to his son.

"Your imperial brother originally wanted to return the throne to you, but you have repeatedly refused. This time I called you in critical condition and you have not returned. A country cannot live without a king for a day. Beikun is a man of erudition and talent, and he has the ambition of Kunpeng to govern the country.

Your heart is worthy of this responsibility. For the sake of the world, you should express your wish to give up the throne to all ministers, so as to satisfy people's hearts and stabilize the current situation."

Although Wu Shizheng was not born to Queen Huang, he was born without his biological mother and was raised by the Huang family. Therefore, he treated the Huang family as his own mother, always obeying her words and not daring to disobey.

In the morning court the next day, Wu Shizheng read out the "Message to All Ministers" to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, expressing his intention to abandon the throne and support Wu Beikun's succession. Empress Huang announced in court that a coronation ceremony would be held ten days later.

Next, Wu Shizheng also lobbied everywhere to appease everyone, accept the current reality, and work together to resonate with the government, especially the Yuwen family.

Although the Yuwen family's status in the court was gradually declining after the death of Prime Minister Guo Yuwenbo, officials with the surname Yuwen who served as ministers in the court were squeezed out and suppressed, and they were all moved out of important positions and gradually marginalized. Nowadays,

Finally, a little girl from the Yuwen family married into the royal family and was appointed as the heir to the throne. She was about to become as good as the dragon and the phoenix, but she suddenly encountered such a change, which was hard to accept.

The rebellion of King Zhenxi made the court very uneasy, and even worried about King Yuwen Haotian of Zhenbei who was stationed in the northern region. At the Queen's request, Wu Shizheng immediately sent a message asking Yuwen Haotian to come back immediately to attend the enthronement ceremony and make preparations.

Give generous gifts to show your loyalty.

After receiving the letter, King Yuwen immediately collected all kinds of rare treasures and exotic local products from the Western Regions and beyond the Great Wall, loading more than a hundred carts. In addition, he selected nearly a hundred people from Tufan who were good at singing and dancing.

The latter rehearsed a grand performance to show the harmony of the ethnic groups in the northern region.

In order to ensure that they could arrive on the day of the ceremony, all materials and personnel were transported by large carriages. King Yuwen led 200 soldiers to personally escort them, running non-stop, day and night, straight to the capital.

The motorcade finally arrived in front of the palace in Youjing on the day of the ceremony, and successfully entered the front gate. After passing through the Meridian Gate, the motorcade was put into the Weiyang Palace. After passing two palaces, it arrived at the Jinkun Hall where the enthronement ceremony was held.

.

After the convoy entered the gate of Weiyang Palace, the front and rear city gates were suddenly closed, and hundreds of carriages were locked inside the palace city, which seemed a bit crowded. The city was suddenly filled with soldiers, holding bows and arrows, aiming at the convoy below the city. At this time, I heard

Someone had to shout: King Yuwen rebelled and brought the Tufan army into the palace to assassinate him! We are ordered to kill, and there must be no mistakes!

Suddenly, burning oil bottles and rosin cans were thrown down from the top of the city, the carriages were set on fire, and a raging fire broke out. The horses were burned so hard that they screamed, neighed, and ran wildly.

Among them, nearly ten carriages contained nearly a hundred performers. They were burned by the smoke and jumped out of the carriages to run around. They were at a loss for a while.

"The Tufan barbarians will all be punished on the spot, and no one will be left alive." Following the commander's order, thousands of arrows flew from the top of the city, killing hundreds of people below the city on the spot.

The two hundred soldiers brought by King Yuwen protected King Yuwen with shields and bodies and retreated to the palace gate. A dozen soldiers pulled a burned carriage to the palace gate and burned the closed palace gate.

, and smashed a big hole with his body, and then protected King Yuwen and fought his way out of the siege.

"When I fought my way out of the south gate of the capital, I looked back and saw that there were less than twenty soldiers left with me. They were all injured and wounded. A large number of pursuers came up from behind, so I led the remaining troops to the north.

He fled in the same direction and ran nearly a hundred miles in one breath before stopping." King Yuwen recalled the scene at that time.

"Seeing that the pursuers did not continue to come, we temporarily stayed in Fenglin Town, not far from the capital, and sent people to sneak into the capital to find out the news."

"As a result, Tanma came to report: It turned out that on that day, the Tianji Department submitted a line report to the emperor, saying that I had hidden thousands of troops in chariots, including hundreds of Tufan warriors, and wanted to assassinate the new emperor during the enthronement ceremony.

The world. Someone told the emperor that I used these chariots to hide my troops and surprise the Turks' thousands of cavalry troops, thus winning a surprise victory. Today, I actually want to use this to provoke the murder of the royal family. It is an unforgivable crime. I, the majestic King of Zhenbei, actually recruited a young man.

It is really a shame and a great humiliation for people to be framed like this!" King Yuwen said with great sadness and indignation.

"The bigger omen is that during the enthronement ceremony that day, the emperor actually ordered that everyone in the Yuwen family who was watching the ceremony be killed on the spot, leaving no one alive. What's even more hateful is that because my little sister Mingzhu was already in labor,

She did not go to the ceremony to participate in the ceremony. The Tianji Department actually sent five masters and led hundreds of tiger troops to Yuwen Prime Minister's Mansion to capture her. When Mingzhu had just given birth to a son, she got up to fight with the enemy. In Yuwen's house, hundreds of servants and Dinghe

Under the cover of the maid, he fought his way out of the siege, drove a carriage, and wanted to go west to join the newly rebellious King Zhenxi." King Yuwen recounted the past in a low voice.

"My little sister Mingzhu did not escape the clutches of the devil in the end. It is said that she was overtaken by the pursuers after entering the Wangping Mountain area. Poor little sister, before she was killed, she actually gave birth to the biological son of the Emperor Longzhong who she had just given birth to.

Eaten alive in the belly! What a cruel thing this is! If you don't take revenge for this, why should you be a human being!" At this point, the grief-stricken King Yuwen punched the city wall with his fist, and the wall bricks suddenly burst and fell to the ground.

gravel.

After listening to King Yuwen's story, Chu Weixian was speechless for a moment and couldn't believe his ears. "What about Wu Shizhong? Didn't he intervene?" he asked after he came to his senses.

"Wu Shizhong disappeared without a trace during the ceremony that day. I have been looking for his traces over the years, but I have not received any news so far."

"Alas!" Chu Weixian sighed, bowed his head and was speechless. He really didn't expect that behind King Yuwen's rebellion, there was such a big injustice and hidden secrets. The blood and blood hatred between the families was comparable to King Zhenxi's dissatisfaction with the court.

Much bigger.

Moreover, for the sake of the welfare of the people of the Central Plains, King Yuwen actually stationed himself at the border of the Northern Territory to prevent Tufan from taking advantage of the situation. Instead of joining forces with Tufan to attack the Central Plains, overthrow the imperial court, and engage in blood feud. How is this?

Big heart! How much forbearance is required!

Chu Weixian actually had tears in his eyes for a moment. Looking at the strong man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart.
