Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

The poem says: The beautiful and fragrant forest faces the high pavilion, and the new clothes are gorgeous and the quality is alluring. Yinghu Ningjiao didn't come in at first, but came out of the curtain to welcome him with a smile.

The enchantress's face looks like a flower with dew, and the jade trees illuminate the backyard. Flowers bloom and fall not long, they fall red all over the ground and return to silence

"A good song"Yushu Backyard Flowers"》！"Jin Wang Yang Guang looked around at the fragrant poems and lyrics in Jingyang Palace and was full of praise. He said to Chen Shubao:"You are so talented, but you indulge in the palace all day long and ignore the government affairs, which leads to the ruin of the country."

A group of concubines and maids, Everyone was so frightened that only the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua was different. This Lihua was born into a poor family. She was originally a courtesan. She had a coquettish temperament and was informal. She had seven-foot-long hair, shiny black hair, and picturesque eyebrows, which made her charming.

He took the initiative to stand up, walked to Yang Guang, knelt down and saluted:"My concubine, Zhang Lihua, pays my respects to the king, Qian Qiansui."

Yang Guang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and his heart was confused, thinking to himself that this Lihua is so beautiful, he is used to it. Xiao Jun's gentleness and softness only made her feel Zhang Lihua's enchantment today. She looked up and down, feeling a little hesitant.

At this time, Yang Guang was only twenty years old. Several generals around him saw the thoughts of the King of Jin. Gao Jiong said:"Your Highness, this bitch is seductive and deceiving. It is not appropriate to pity him." When

Yu Wenshu saw Gao Jiong's words, he also added Yang Guang looked forward to it and whispered:"In a war, military law is ruthless, and your Highness must not be tempted." After all, Yu Wenshu was the concubine of the Jin Dynasty and his personal follower. When Yang Guang heard this, he was naturally cautious.

Zhang Lihua and Yang Guang hesitated in their hearts, so they knelt down in front of him and called tenderly:"Your Highness, spare your life."

Seeing Zhang Lihua trying to rub against Yang Guang, Yang Guang shook his body, shook Zhang Lihua away, pretended to be serious, and said to Gao Jiong:"The women in the harem should be treated as palace slaves and escorted to the capital. The sergeants above and below are not allowed to mess around." After saying this, he turned around and left Jingyang Palace. No matter how tenderly Zhang Lihua called, no one dared to pay attention.

Yang Guang took Chen Shubao to the Hong'en Palace, where all the officials, civil servants and generals in the capital of Chen State were captured. When He Ruobi saw such prisoners of war, he arrogantly said to Yang Guang:"Your Highness, these incompetent ministers will eventually capture nine out of ten incompetent and useless talents."

Yang Guang winked at Chen Shubao and said:"Both the emperor and the ministers are the same. Prisoner, what do you say?"

Chen Shubao was submissive and did not dare to speak out. Lu Guangda was furious at the side:"Yang Guang bullied people too much. How could I see my master being humiliated? He is captured today and will only die." Lu Guangda fell down and rushed towards the pillar of the palace. Everyone thought that Lu Guangda had the intention of assassinating him, but they didn't expect that Lu Guangda was killed by a headlong collision and his blood flowed into the palace.

When Chen Shubao saw that Lu Guangda had been hit and killed, he couldn't help but throw himself on the body in pain. Yang Guang sighed and said to everyone:"It's a pity that such a loyal minister has not met the Ming Master." He looked at Mr. Jiang and Kong Fan again and asked:"Are you two the prime ministers of the Chen Kingdom Kong Fan and Shang Shu Jiang?"

Kong Fan and Mr. Jiang were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and said,"You are the official. Please forgive me, King Jin. Please forgive me, King Jin.""

"I have heard for a long time that you are a talented person with great academic reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, but you are incompetent in governing the country. I will not kill you, but I will order you to compose a poem to express my condolences to Lu Quangda. This can be regarded as my admiration for my loyal minister. Someone was preparing a pen and ink next to him. Mr. Jiang took courage, walked closer, moistened his pen, and wrote"Crying Lu Guangda" as he cried:

Although Huangquan holds hatred, he will lose his reputation in the daytime. The sad king died out of gratitude and did not do any wrong. Life.

After writing the five-character quatrain, all the captured civil and military officials of the Chen Dynasty burst into tears, condensing in the Hong'en Hall at the regret of losing their country. The audience was full of ministers, but only Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing were hiding in the crowd, looking around. Look, there is no hatred for the subjugation of the country.

Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, said:"Your Highness, among these ministers who have subjugated the country, there are still some who are shameless."

After Yang Hong's reminder, Yang Guang asked the two of them sternly:"You two really don't want to miss Shu.’？"

Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and made slanderous words. Yang Guang said:"I have long heard that Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing were causing trouble in the court and disrupting the government. Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing were brought down quickly and beheaded on the spot."

Yang Guang said. Guang inspected the palace of Chen State and returned to the camp. Everyone bid farewell to King Yang Guang of Jin and went back to clean up the ruins of Chen Palace. Gao Jun and Yu Wenshu both saw Yang Guang's thoughts and knew that he was in love with Zhang Lihua, but they had different ideas.

Yu Wenshu, the concubine of Zuo, was the best at figuring out other people's thoughts. He saw that Yang Guang was a little attracted to Zhang Lihua today, so he said to Gao Jiong:"I am watching the King of Jin today and he is very attracted to Zhang Lihua. Your Highness is away fighting, so it is inevitable that he will need more There are several people to serve, why not let Zhang Lihua accompany the king."

Gao Jiong sneered and asked:"King Wu destroyed Yin and killed Daji. Now that the country of Chen is at peace, it is not appropriate to marry Zhang Lihua." Gao Jiong walked away, and Yuwenshu followed Go up to Gao Jun and say:"The King of Jin once said that being a slave in the palace is already showing mercy. With a heart of compassion, why shouldn't Gao Xiangguo be a beautiful man? The King of Jin will treat him favorably in the future.""

"The King of Jin is only twenty years old. How could he know that this enchantress would harm the country and cause endless troubles? I am a long-time historian, so I will deal with it myself."

Gao Jiong was worried that Yang Guang would be deceived by the witch, so he immediately sent soldiers to arrest Zhang Lihua and take her to Qingxi to behead her. Yuwen Shu saw that Gao Jiong was not accommodating and Zhang Lihua was beheaded again. He was very dissatisfied and wanted to help bring Yang Guang and Zhang Lihua together. I took the opportunity to please the King of Jin, but I didn't expect Gao Qiu to mess it up. This is it:

Sitting in the arms without disturbing the true story, the men who stop lusting are eunuchs. Since ancient times, beauties have been fascinated by beauties, and they are all trapped by beauties?

Return to the camp in the evening, Jin Wang Yang Guang was chatting with his concubine Zhang Heng. Yu Wenshu came in a hurry and said to Yang Guang:"Your Highness, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not.""

"Zhang Heng is not an outsider, but there is no harm in talking. Yu

Wenshu thought to himself that it would be better to take this opportunity to give Yang Guang a favor, and said:"I saw that His Highness was fighting in the war, forgetting sleep and food, and waiting for the day. It was very difficult, so he wanted to choose a beautiful woman in Chen Guogong to take care of His Highness." For daily life, I chose Zhang Lihua. Unexpectedly, Gao Jun, a long-term historian, was so unreasonable that he beheaded Zhang Lihua in Qingxi, showing off his majesty and having no one in sight."

"What?"Yang Guangda was shocked and asked:"Has Gao Jiong beheaded Zhang Lihua?"

Yu Wenshu took a step forward, leaned closer and said:"Gao Xiangguo did this intentionally."

Yu Wenshu's slander really spoke to Yang Guang's heart, and Yang Guang was also thinking about how to get Zhang Lihua. When he learned that Zhang Lihua was dead, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel angry, and said:"The ancients said, 'No one without virtue can do anything'."Repay, I will definitely repay Gao Gong!" Zhang

Heng saw that Yang Guang was in a state of confusion and was furious, so he comforted him and said:"Zhang Lihua is dead, so there is no need for His Highness to be angry about this. In the opinion of the lower officials, it is an opportunity for His Highness Kunpeng to pacify the state of Chen and achieve great things."

Yang Guang suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and asked,"Would you like to elaborate?""

"With all due respect. Zhang Heng said:"His Royal Highness swept across the south of the Yangtze River and recovered Jiankang. The southern country surrendered and surrendered. Half of the country has been conquered, and the merits have been lost." If His Highness can sit firmly in the south of the Yangtze River and support his wings, he will be no less than half an emperor."

When Yang Guang heard this, he suddenly became enlightened and turned from anger to joy. He whispered to Yu Wenshu and Zhang Heng:"Chen Shubao gained a beauty and lost the world. I, Yang Guang, should lose a beauty and gain the world!""

The three of them were conferring together and were about to talk in detail when they suddenly came to report:"Your Highness, we have urgent news that the remnant soldiers from all walks of life in Nanchen have mobilized their troops to counterattack, hoping to march into Jiankang. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, has summoned the generals and asked His Highness to go to the Chinese army's treasure tent to discuss military plans."

The Sui army went all out to march south. Although it conquered the capital Jiankang in one fell swoop, after all, in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, there were still Chen's remnants of soldiers and horses, and they were counterattacking everywhere. The attack on Chen could only be regarded as half a success.

At night, Jiankang camped, and the lights were bright. , the large tent of the Chinese army was full of generals. When Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, saw everyone gathered, he said:"Your Highness, Chen Huiji of Jingnan, Zhou Luohu of Wuchang, and Fan Meng of Gusu have all raised their troops to counterattack, intending to enter the capital to serve the king."

Xue Daoheng, the internal historian, also reported:"I also need to report urgently. Mrs. Xian of Lingnan commanded the three armies and defeated Wang Shiji's general Wei Gu in Nankang. She was preparing to raise troops to go north. The situation is critical."

Yang Guang listened to the two urgent reports, looked at the civil and military officials on the left and right, and asked:"My lords, are there any strategies for resisting the enemy's invading forces from all directions?"

Everyone was whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion. Gao Jiong said:"Your Highness, the situation is critical. We should avoid the important and take the easy."

"To tell you in detail"

"Although Zhou Luohu of Wuchang and Chen Huiji of Jingnan occupied strategic positions, they were suppressed by the heavy troops of Qin Wang Yang Jun and Qinghe Gong Yang Su, and it was difficult to escape for a while; Mrs. Kang; only Fan Meng of Gusu, relying on the land of Soochow and adjacent to Jiankang, was in imminent danger and needed to send troops to annihilate it immediately."

"Well." Yang Guang thought what he said was reasonable and said to Xue Daoheng:"Immediately order Chen Shubao to write a letter to persuade Zhou Luohu of Wuchang, Chen Huiji of Jingnan, and Fan Meng of Gusu to surrender, so as to avoid another fierce battle."Xue Daoheng took the order and left, and Yang Guang ordered Fan Zigai and Zhao Xiuluo to get up and go to Nankang to stop

Mrs. He came in a hurry and said:"The princess has crossed the river to visit your majesty."

When Yang Guang heard Xiao Jun's arrival, he felt a little missed. After all, he had been crossing the river for many days without seeing his beloved wife, so he got up and undressed and went to the Chinese army. Xiao Jun crossed the river and came to the King of Jin's camp, accompanied by Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu.. The family sat together and chatted, which made Yang Guang, who had been busy all day, feel a little more relaxed.

At noon, when it was almost time for dinner, Zhang Heng came to report,"Your Highness, Your Majesty, I just went The messenger who summoned Fan Meng to surrender from Gusu returned, bringing urgent news from hundreds of miles away."

"What's the report?

Zhang Heng glanced at Xiao Jun and then said:"Fan Meng tore up Chen Shubao's surrender letter, installed Xiao Qi as the leader in Gusu, and called himself King of Wu.""

"ah?"This not only surprised Yang Guang, but also deeply surprised the Jin Princess Xiao Jun, the sixth child Xiao Xun, the seventh child Xiao Jue, and the eighth child Xiao Yu.

Zhang Heng said:"His Royal Highness had previously ordered that the Xiao clan should not be harmed in the war. My dear, so this matter must be left to His Highness’s decision."

Yang Guang stood up and walked back and forth. When Xiao Jun saw that his second brother rebelled and proclaimed himself king, he had to stand up and say something. He then said:"Your Highness, don't worry. Since Lord Chen's surrender is useless, it is better to surrender. I went to Gusu to persuade him to surrender."Xiao Xun, Xiao Jue, and Xiao Yu also asked for orders to go with them.

Yang Guang stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, thought about it, turned to Zhang Heng and said,"I think the princess can go, and I will immediately order Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, to be the queen. The main general, Li Yuan, and Yin Shishi as deputy generals led 30,000 elite troops to Gusu. If the recruitment fails, the King of Hejian will make the decision on my behalf."

Yang Guang passed down the order, and King Yang Hong of Hejian, his deputy Li Yuan, and Yin Shishi escorted Princess Xiao Jun of Jin and everyone in the Xiao family to Gusu to recruit Xiao Qing and Fan Meng to surrender. The letter was brief and there was little gossip. Three Thousands of people escorted Xiao Jun all the way to the foot of Gusu City and set up camp. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, invited Xiao Jun to the central army and summoned all the generals to discuss the military situation.

Yang Hong said:"The current plan is to attack first and then attack, or Recruit first and then strike, Madam Xiao might as well say something."

Xiao Jun said:"I am a daughter, and I rely on my uncle to regain Gusu. However, Xiao Qing has a stubborn personality. If he attacks first and then strikes later, he may not be able to win back the nine-headed ox. Yang

Hong expressed deep approval and said to Xiao Jun:"What the princess said is reasonable. I wonder who among the Xiao clan is willing to take the risk and go to the city to lobby.""

Although Xiao Xun, Xiao Jue, and Xiao Yu are not courageous generals, they are not afraid of lobbying Xiao Gu. After all, they are biological brothers.

Princess Xiao Jun said:"Xiao Gu is most taboo about being born in February. This matter finally For me, if I can't convince Xiao Wei, it will be in vain for the three younger brothers to go."

"The princess has true knowledge and insight, and in the eyes of the lonely king, it must be the princess. Before he finished speaking, Yang Hong frowned and said thoughtfully:"The princess's mission is extremely risky. If something happens, the lonely king cannot afford it." Yang Hong stood up, stroking his beard, and said:"I ordered my dog ​​Yang Qing to escort the princess. If anything happens, the lonely king will have an explanation to the court.""

Xiao Jun stood up, bowed and said,"My uncle has good intentions, and Xiao Jun will definitely live up to his expectations."

Everyone has discussed and decided. King Hong of Hejian ordered his son Yang Qing to personally escort him and accompany Princess Xiao Jun of Jin to Gusu City to lobby Xiao Zhen and Fan Meng.

Besides, Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhen's uncle and nephew left Jiankang. , taking advantage of the troubled times, fled to Gusu City, formed a party with Fan Meng, the general who guarded Gusu, and separatized Gusu. They only waited for empress Chen to commit suicide and establish a new court.

Jiankang fell, Xiao Qi, Fan He fiercely gathered the remaining soldiers of the Chen Kingdom, and became full-fledged. Everyone supported Xiao Wei as the leader and called himself the King of Wu. Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, was the prime minister, and Fan Meng was the general. They refused to submit to the Sui Dynasty.

This time the Sui army came to the city, Xiao Wei had already Be on guard, rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows and powerful crossbows were already prepared on the top of the city. Seeing that the battle was imminent, he never thought that Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, would send an envoy. Xiao Chen was greatly surprised and ordered the envoy to come to see him.

Xiao Chen was in Gusu A mansion was chosen as the palace of the King of Wu. Although it was not as good as the Jiankang Palace, it was still somewhat grand. The Palace of the King of Wu was called the Anguo Hall. On both sides of the hall were the Prime Minister Xiao Yan and the General Fan Meng. Xiao Wei sat in the middle.

The Sui army envoys entered the city with only a few people, and only two people entered the Anguo Hall. Xiao Wei took a look and saw a person in front of him, wearing a bamboo hat, a black veil covering his face, wearing an aqua open coat, and a hundred Wearing a pleated skirt and brocade shoes with cloth soles, she was clearly a woman. Behind her was a person who was half a head taller than the woman. She was in her twenties, with round eyebrows and round eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth. She was wearing a guard hat and thin and soft armor. , with a sword on his waist, followed behind.

Xiao Chen said:"Even though I came as an envoy, I asked the woman to cover her face with a veil. Is she here to lobby, or is she here to get married?""

The woman lifted up the black gauze, but Xiao Gu didn't look at it. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Princess Xiao Jun of Jin. Xiao Gu stood up suddenly, stared at Xiao Jun, and asked:"You are such a scourge, are you going to do it? Are you here to die?"Xiao Qing has murderous intentions in his heart. It can be said that there are many reasons for causing trouble in February and causing chaos in Jiangdong's evil customs.

The quarrel between brothers and sisters will destroy their family ties, and they will not fight for the sake of lobbying.
