He persuaded King Fu that this person's surname was Lu, his given name was Wei Qi, his courtesy name was Jie Ru, and his name was Yu Shi. He came from a scholarly family with a rich academic background. His father was a famous Confucian scholar in Henan Province, Lu Confucius.

Lu Weiqi studied Confucianism since he was a child. He became a Jinshi at the age of twenty-six, was awarded Yanzhou official position, and was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

Just because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he had to resign and return home. It was not until the first year of Chongzhen that Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and promoted people who had been suppressed by the eunuch party, and he was able to resume his official position and serve as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

However, due to his failure to "suppress the bandits", he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, Luoyang. This man established the "Yiluo Society" in Luoyang, recruited disciples, wrote books and established a reputation.

When Zhang Shun made a surprise attack on Luoyang and captured Wangxi Gate, this man was in Luoyang City. When he heard about the incoming rebel army, he quickly notified Henan Commander-in-Chief Wang Shaoyu and deputy military envoy Wang Yinchang.

Although Lu Weiqi didn't know much about soldiers, he at least had "experience in suppressing bandits." Although it is just a failed experience in suppressing bandits, it is better than nothing. He also knew that the city gate was lost and that with only the thousands of guards in Luoyang City, there was almost no chance of victory.

Although Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, and Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military preparations, were not above average in talent, they had some experience in leading troops, so they quickly suggested retreating to Prince Fu's palace.

Firstly, you can use Prince Fu's Mansion for defense, secondly, you can protect Prince Fu from being harassed by thieves, and thirdly, you can also use the food and property from Prince Fu's Mansion to win over people's hearts and boost the morale of the soldiers.

Lu Weiqi heard this and thought it was a good strategy, but he never thought that King Fu would dare to not pull out a cent when his death was imminent!

In fact, this is not the fault of King Fu's idiot, although he is indeed an idiot.

This blessed prince was originally the son of Emperor Wanli and his most favored Concubine Zheng, so Emperor Wanli wanted to make him the crown prince.

At that time, Emperor Wanli's wife Wang and Empress had no sons. The princess' eldest son was Zhu Changluo, and Concubine Zheng gave birth to her second son Zhu Changxun. According to the patriarchal law, the eldest son Zhu Changluo is the eldest son and should be established as the prince.

For this reason, Emperor Wanli fought with his court officials for fifteen years, and successively forced out the four chief ministers of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Zhao Zhigao, and Wang Xijue, involving more than 300 people in the imperial court.

Emperor Wanli dismissed, dismissed, and sent more than 100 people into the army, but he still could not establish Zhu Changxun as the prince. He had no choice but to make his eldest son Zhu Changluo the prince and Zhu Changxun the king of blessing.

Zhu Changxun's ears have been filled with the voices of opposition to him from officials from all over the country since he was a child. One can imagine his feelings towards the court officials.

What's more, according to the Ming Dynasty system, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the palace at will after becoming a vassal. Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the vassal king was often unable to step out of the palace for his entire life.

Zhu Yueqi, the king of Jingjiang, once disguised himself as a Taoist priest and went out of the palace to show off on the street. As a result, as soon as he left the house, the emperor at that time found out about his backfoot, and he was almost even removed from the title of vassal king.

After King Fu became a vassal, it was his political enemy Zhu Changluo and his descendants who succeeded Emperor Wanli. How dare Prince Fu dare to give him any clue?

Naturally, he was like a fat pig, kept in captivity in Prince Fu's Mansion by the Ming Dynasty for more than thirty years.

King Fu dare not think about many things, cannot think about them, and does not want to think about them. In the palace, he just eats, drinks and has fun every day.

With less experience, time naturally flies by, but his mind and experience are still at the time when he left the feudal clan at the age of fifteen.

When Lu Weiqi told him that Luoyang City had fallen and a group of fierce bandits came outside the palace. Out of his natural aversion to officials, his first reaction was: These dog officials come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason and come to fool me again.

Our country, the Ming Dynasty, is full of peace and harmony. Where are the hungry people and ruthless bandits? They just pretended that I was a captive vassal king. He must have wanted to make fun of others after teasing me. How abominable!

Poor Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, how could he know this in just over thirty years? His father, brothers and nephews, as well as the entire Zhu royal family and the world's bureaucrats and gentry, have already completely destroyed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty it used to be, and naturally his King Fu is no longer the same King Fu.

Lu Weiqi, the former Minister of War in Nanjing, was shocked and angry after hearing this. How could he have expected that King Fu would have such an attitude.

He had just received a report from Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province: The palace is not strong enough, and Prince Fu cannot defend it. If there is no gold and silver to boost morale, I am afraid that the palace of Prince Fu will be overthrown in an instant!

How could Lu Weiqi not know what would happen to the palace once it was captured by thieves? He quickly and sincerely advised: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once the soldiers change, we will all be like fish on the chopping board. If the prince doesn't believe it, just listen to the sound of sword fighting outside and the sound of gunpowder explosion just now!"

King Fu Zhu Changxun saw that he was anxious, and he saw through the opponent's plan. He became more and more proud and said: "Although I have been trapped in this palace for a long time, I came in from outside anyway. During festivals, firecrackers and fireworks are set off; temple fairs are held, There are some acrobatics in a show, but they’re not worth mentioning, they’re not worth mentioning!”

When Lu Weiqi heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on his head. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but even though he had good words, it was hard to persuade the damned ghost!

Here Lu Weiqi failed to persuade King Fu, but over there Zhao Lizi led the rebel army and defeated the officers and soldiers in front of them.

These guardsmen were poorly equipped and had low morale. They were initially encouraged by the commander-in-chief Wang Shaoyu and the deputy military commander Wang Yinchang, but they still had some combat effectiveness.

However, as time passed, not only did they fail to force the thieves in front of them to retreat, but they suffered heavy casualties on their own side, so these soldiers began to have other thoughts.

When it comes to things like war, you need courage at critical moments. The officers and soldiers here lost their determination to die and were immediately defeated by Zhao Lizi and the rebels.

When Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, saw that things were not going well, he wanted to retreat. He pulled Wang Yinchang, the deputy military envoy, and said: "The soldiers are not soldiers, the generals are not generals, and the king is not the king. What can we do?"

Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military preparations, replied: "What else can we do besides doing our best?" After saying this, Wang Yinchang put on his armor and led more than a dozen soldiers to charge forward.

Zhao Lizi fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and he couldn't help but panting. Just in time to see a man who looked like an officer rushing forward, he had no choice but to take a deep breath and rush forward again to confront this man.

Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military preparation, is also a martial arts practitioner. As soon as he fought against Zhao Lizi, he found that his opponent was slippery and not an easy opponent to deal with.

Although Zhao Lizi was once evaluated as a middle-class talent by Chen Changzhen, it was because he used himself as the standard. In fact, Zhao Lizi was born on the bank of the Yellow River. He swam in the river since he was a child and developed good water skills.

This kind of swimming exercises the person's coordination the most. It requires the arms, chest, waist and abdomen, buttocks, and leg muscles to exert force at the same time. It is most similar to the full strength in spear art.

After Zhao Lizi was taught spearmanship, he practiced day and night, and his spearmanship improved rapidly. To this day, he can be considered a good marksman.

The two had just fought for two rounds when Zhao Lizi looked for an opportunity and turned around and left. Wang Yinchang, the deputy commander of the army, hurriedly chased him, but Zhao Lizi turned around and shot him down.

Wang Yinchang raised his gun with both hands and tried to stop him. Unexpectedly, the two guns collided. Zhao Lizi's gun did not hit the target firmly. Instead, it moved forward and penetrated into Wang Yinchang's chest.

Although Wang Yinchang is the deputy envoy of military equipment, the quality of his armor is not particularly good. Zhao Lizi used all his strength with this shot, and suddenly it slipped into the gap in the armor and pierced Wang Yinchang's heart.

Wang Yinchang, the deputy military commander, suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Zhao Lizi. He seemed unable to believe that the spear was originally smashed down, so why couldn't he stop it and instead stabbed it in?

Zhao Lizi pulled the gun, and the blood of Wang Yinchang, the deputy military envoy, splashed out with a "pop". He couldn't breathe, so he fell to the ground.

Zhao Lizi did not look at him, but shouted: "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

These guardsmen were already incapable of fighting. How could they dare to fight when Wang Yinchang, deputy envoy of military preparations, was dead? All of a sudden they turned around and wanted to run away.

Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief of Henan Province, saw clearly. He gritted his teeth and shouted quickly: "The person coming is the benevolent and righteous King Shun. He will not kill or plunder, so why run away again?"

After speaking, Wang Shaoyu was the first to abandon his weapon and knelt down to ask for surrender. When the rest of the soldiers saw that their commander had surrendered, most of them abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
