Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Yu Wenzhi summoned his trusted officials to the meeting hall, and saw Wang Bo and Zhang Tong'er standing on the left and right, being treated as honored guests by Yu Wenzhi. Huaji said: "In ancient times, Yao abdicated to Shun, and Shun abdicated to Yu. Now Wang Bo and Zhang Tong'er support me to ascend the throne and become emperor, following the will of heaven and inheriting the Sui Dynasty. What do you think, generals?"

Pei Qian said: "Now the world is in chaos, and the prime minister only has Liaocheng. It is difficult to convince the world. It is better to destroy the princes first and then claim the throne."

Yu Wenzhi also advised: "Brother's wife is far away in Chang'an, and is held hostage by Tang Wang Li Yuan. If you hastily ascend the throne, your wife and sister-in-law will be harmed by Li Yuan. Brother, think twice."

Yu Wenzhi smiled and said, "How can a man be dragged down by a woman? There are many women brought from Jiangdu. I have chosen Xiao Jun as the queen temporarily. I will decide on the women in the palace later."

Everyone was stunned. Pei Qiantong advised, "It is said that Xiao Jun is a demon star from Jiangnan in February. The Sui Dynasty has fallen. Marrying this demon woman will bring disaster. It is okay for the prime minister to inherit the throne, but there is no precedent for inheriting someone else's wife."

Everyone has heard about it. They all have their own opinions and advise Yu Wenzhi not to become emperor too early.

Yu Wenzhi was dazzled by the throne and could not listen. He said, "Life will eventually die, how can I not be an emperor for a day! I have made up my mind. I will choose a good day to ascend the throne and follow the will of heaven." Seeing that things had come to this point, everyone stopped persuading and let Yu Wenzhi toss.

In February 619 AD, Yuwen Zhiji abolished the puppet emperor Yang Hao, proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, changed the country's name to "Xu", canonized Xiao Jun as the Queen of Daxu, established the capital in Liaocheng, and changed the reign to the first year of Tianshou.

The farce of becoming an emperor in Liaocheng, the change of dynasty, and the enthronement ceremony made Yuwen Zhiji too proud and ordered his soldiers and the people of Liaocheng to celebrate for ten consecutive days. For six consecutive days, all officials congratulated and the ceremony was grand. On the seventh day, when everyone was busy celebrating, Pei Qiantong pulled Yuwen Zhiji out of the hall.

Walking to a secluded place, Pei Qiantong said: "Since I followed your brother in the rebellion, I wanted to uphold justice and establish another wise leader. Now your brother calls himself the emperor. It would be fine if he called himself the emperor, but he also took a woman from a fallen country as the queen. Isn't this a curse for the world?"

Yuwen Zhiji said: "I know that my brother is stubborn and stubborn. Who can persuade him?"

The two were whispering when they suddenly saw Yuan Li hurriedly coming: "Two generals, something happened again."

"What's the panic?" Pei Qiantong asked.

Yuan Li handed over a roll of notice and said: "Xia Wang Dou Jiande issued a letter to raise troops to attack the Great Xu Kingdom. General Wang Fubao is leading 150,000 troops to Liaocheng." The two were also anxious when they heard it, and hurried back to the hall to report the military situation.

At this time, there were singing and dancing in the hall, and a banquet was held. Yu Wenzhi wore a pearl crown, a dragon robe, and a royal belt around his waist, and raised his cup to drink; Xiao Jun tied her hair with a golden hairpin, wore heavy makeup, and wore a dazzling phoenix dress. She accompanied him, and officials and generals sat on his left and right.

Yu Wenzhi walked by, walked around to Yu Wenzhi, and whispered: "Xia Wang Dou Jiande ordered General Wang Fubao to raise an army of 150,000 to march south."

Yu Wenzhi learned about this and put down his cup.He ordered all the singing girls to leave. The civil and military officials did not know why, and they only saw Yu Wenzhi saying: "My dear ministers, Dou Jiande has ordered General Wang Fubao to lead an army south, claiming to have 150,000 troops. What is the best way to repel the enemy?"

Everyone was shocked and frightened when they heard this, and they whispered to each other and discussed it. Wang Bo stood up and said, "I have surrendered since then, and I have made great contributions. I am willing to lead the charge."

Pei Qiantong said, "General Wang has just surrendered, so it is better for him to get familiar with the troops first."

Yu Wenzhi didn't know who to listen to. Seeing the emperor hesitate, Wang Bo said, "If your majesty does not believe me, I am willing to issue a military order. If I cannot lead the charge, I will be subject to military law!"

Wang Bo glanced at him to see what Pei Qiantong would say. When Yu Wenzhi saw that he had said so much, he was overjoyed and said, "Wang Bo is really a real man. I order you to lead your troops to fight." Wang Bo saw that Yu Wenzhi believed him, so he gave Pei Qiantong a look and left.

Yu Wenzhi left the hall with a little bit of alcohol and selected a few singing girls to go to the harem. Everyone dispersed. Pei Qiantong was angry with Wang Bo and said to Yuwen Zhiji: "How can the emperor believe Wang Bo's slander? I don't think Wang Bo is sincere in his submission."

Zhiji said: "The emperor believes in Wang Bo and Xiao Jun. At this point, let's not look down on Empress Xiao. Let her convince the emperor." Pei Qiantong thought about it and agreed. So he went with Yuwen Zhiji to see Empress Xiao.

Yuwen Zhiji played with the singing girl, and Xiao Jun pretended to have a headache and stayed alone in the west wing. Yuwen Zhiji and Pei Qiantong came to pay their respects in a hurry. Xiao Jun was surprised and thought there must be something fishy going on. She asked, "Generals, you two never ask about me on weekdays. What is your mission today?"

Yuwen Zhiji smiled slyly, "How dare I send you, Your Majesty? Now that you have legitimately become the Queen of Daxu, we are eager to curry favor with you."

"Just say it." Xiao Jun said.

Pei Qiantong said: "General Zhiji and I have seen that Wang Bo is not sincere in his surrender. We are afraid that the emperor will be slandered by treacherous flatterers and delay the great cause of the state of Xu. So please persuade the emperor to stay away from villains."

Xiao Jun thought that the world was in such a mess that everyone had their own plans, so what was the gentleman and villain? However, seeing that these two people took the initiative to curry favor, it would be better to give them face, so he said: "I think Wang Bo is not sincere in his surrender. Don't worry, the two generals, I will convince the emperor."

Zhiji said: "The queen will definitely convince him."

These two people are more than ten years younger than Empress Xiao. Xiao Jun thought to herself that it would not be easy to fool you two, so she pretended to say: "Don't worry, the two generals will be able to convince the emperor after he is drunk. I have my own way."

Yuwen Zhiji and Pei Qiantong were overjoyed, thinking that Xiao Jun had been won over to their side, so they left.

Waiting until it was dark, Xiao Jun did not see Yu Wenhuaji return to his room, and was too lazy to ask about it. She was about to rest, when suddenly another maid came to report: "Zhang Tong'er wants to see you." Zhang Tong'er was Su Wei's attendant. If he wanted to see you at night, he must have something confidential to tell you, so he was sent to see you.

Zhang Tong'er came to the west wing and met the queen. Xiao Jun said: "You came at the right time,I was just about to ask about Wang Bo's surrender."

"I was just about to tell the queen about this." Zhang Tong'er looked around and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Wang Bo's surrender was fake, and the insider was real. I wonder if the queen wants to help Yu Wenhuaji or destroy Yu Wenhuaji?"

After learning the truth, Xiao Jun was silent for a long time before saying, "I was the queen of the Sui Dynasty. The previous emperor was not virtuous, and I have no face to talk about national humiliation. But Yu Wenhuaji manipulated the imperial army, killed the royal family indiscriminately, and destroyed my whole family. The family feud must be avenged!"

Xiao Jun was usually gentle and docile, but her eyes suddenly turned red and her tears hurt people. Zhang Tong'er couldn't help but shudder, and then said, "Once Wang Bo leads the Xia soldiers into the city, I am afraid that he will plunder the harem. Your Majesty might as well make plans early and escape as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Jun lowered her head and shed tears, saying sadly: "The posthumous child has been sent away, and I have no more worries. If I can see Yu Wenzhi's death in person, I will end the hatred of the country and the family feud. I will die and have no regrets."

Zhang Tong'er was deeply moved and could not help kneeling and crying: "Your Majesty, why do you have to do this? I am about to escape. If you go with me, I have a wife and children and a small land at home. I can serve you for a hundred years. Why should I die with the thief?"

Xiao Jun wiped her tears and waved her hand: "Go home and live a good life, be a commoner, and don't enter the emperor's family."

Zhang Tong'er kowtowed to Empress Xiao, stood up, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and was about to leave, but turned around and said: "There is another thing. Prime Minister Su once said that before the emperor's grandson Yang Tong was killed, he also said, 'I wish to never be born in the emperor's family again from now on. '"After saying this, Zhang Tong'er covered his face with his sleeves, choked with sobs and fled overnight. It can be said that:

It is not good to be attached to the rich and powerful, and everyone will be rewarded for their good fortune and misfortune.

The emperor's grandson who took poison was pitied for eternity, and the loyal servants were finally heard.

After a few days, Wang Fubao, the general of the Xia Kingdom, led an army of 150,000 and attacked the city of Liaocheng. Yu Wenzhi went to the top of the city to watch the battle. The suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and Wang Bo urged his horse out of the city and set up the battle formation.

Wang Fubao, the commander of the Xia army, stood in front of the battle formation and looked ahead. He saw that it was Wang Bo who went to fight. He said to his deputy general Sun Anzu: "The King of Xia once told me that Wang Bo was pretending to surrender. You should fight him first, and when you get close, see what he says. "

"I obey your order! "Sun Anzu is nine feet tall, extremely strong, with a dark face, curly brown beard, a pair of bear eyes, a big nose and a big mouth. He wears a leopard helmet, a Pixiu armor, a black horse as fast as the wind, and a dragon-subduing iron stick in his hand, which weighs a hundred pounds. People in the martial arts world nicknamed him "Black Rakshasa".

When Yu Wenzhi saw Sun Anzu going to fight, he didn't know that Sun Anzu and Wang Bo were acquaintances, so he hurriedly ordered people to beat drums to help. Wang Bo heard the drums, picked up the elephant trunk ancient moon knife, and urged his horse to fight.

Wang Bo and Sun Anzu met and did not allow any discussion. They fought with swords and sticks for four or five rounds. Wang Bo used his sword to press down Sun Anzu's hundred-pound iron stick and whispered: "Tell Marshal Wang that we must pretend to be defeated today."

Sun Anzu pushed away the sword and pressed the handle of the sword with the stick. He responded: "General, knock off my helmet so that I can retreat. ”

Wang Bo was quick-witted and swift-handed. He swept his sword horizontally, just in time to see off the red tassel on Sun Anzu's leopard helmet. Sun Anzu pretended to be startled and fled on his horse. He retreated back to the formation.In the battle, Sun Anzu said to Wang Fubao: "Wang Bo told me to pretend to be defeated today."

"Wait for me to go out." Wang Fubao urged his horse to go out to fight. Wang Bo understood and pretended to fight. The two fought for several rounds. Wang Fubao said: "Today, I will let you win two battles in a row. You should find an opportunity to lead the troops into the city."

Wang Bo said: "Marshal, don't worry. If you can deceive Yu Wenzhi, use the lights at the north gate as a signal."

The two fought for several rounds. Wang Fubao pretended to be defeated and fled. Yu Wenzhi on the city saw that Wang Bo had won two consecutive battles. He was very happy and ordered the drums to be beaten three times and sent troops to pursue.

Wang Fubao retreated to the battle and shouted loudly: "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops! Withdraw quickly!" The Xia soldiers believed it and retreated one after another. Wang Fubao led the retreating soldiers and shouted again, pretending to flee, and fooled Yu Wenzhi. The Xu soldiers returned victorious.

When Yuwen Zhiji and Pei Qiantong saw Wang Bo's victory, they thought that Wang Bo might be just pretending. After all, Wang Bo was a self-made king, and Wang Fubao was a general who participated in the three expeditions to Liaodong.

The two knew that Wang Fubao had seen thousands of battles, so how could he not be able to deal with Wang Bo. The two thought about it and were terrified, so they rushed to the palace together to meet Empress Xiao. When Xiao Jun saw the two of them, she asked in a pretentious manner: "You two generals are here. Could it be that Wang Bo has died in battle?"

"Died in battle?" Pei Qiantong's eyes widened, and he looked puzzled. He said: "Your Majesty, not only did he not die in battle, but he won two battles in a row. I think there must be something fishy."

Xiao Jun also pretended to be surprised and asked: "Then what should we do?"

Yuwen Zhiji leaned close to his ear: "Your Majesty, you still need to blow the wind to the emperor. Don't let him trust Wang Bo again. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. Once Liaocheng is lost, no one can escape!"

Xiao Jun pretended to be panicked, and pretended to comfort: "Don't worry, the two generals, I will persuade the emperor."

Yuwen Zhiji and Pei Qiantong looked helpless and shook their heads as they left the palace. Seeing the two walking away, Xiao Jun thought to herself that the day of revenge was coming soon, so she hurried back to the house, dressed up, and said to several servants: "Order the imperial chef to prepare more dishes and wine to celebrate the victory of His Majesty." This is:

Has there ever been loyalty in troubled times? People are only fooled by their hearts.

Wang Bo's surrender was ultimately false, and Xiao Jun's enthronement was the real thing.
