In the third year of Yong'an (530), Er Zhu Ying'e was about to give birth. Yuan Ziyou sent someone to inform Er Zhu Rong that the queen had given birth to a prince. Er Zhu Rong was very happy and did not doubt that he was there, so he brought about thirty people to the palace.
On September 18th (October), Er Zhurong entered the palace. Before he could recover from the joy of becoming a grandfather, he was killed by Yuan Ziyou and Yuan Ziyou's men in the palace, together with Er Zhurong's cronies who came with him.
Yuan Tianmu, his youngest son Erzhu Bodhi and more than 30 people were all spared.
Alas, the battle for the throne and the battle for power have been cruel since ancient times. In this battle, humanity has been lost. Anyone can be exploited and killed regardless of the old, weak, women, or children.
I used to think why the emperor wanted so many sons, couldn't he train one properly? Later, I thought that those sons were just for killing or being killed. Except for those who died in infancy, died in battle, or died of illness, look at the princes in history, almost all of them were killed.
A good death, especially in a period of political instability, is even more rare.
Children born into the royal family are actually pitiful children.
Ahem, sigh, let's continue.
Although Er Zhurong was infamous and was included in the ranks of traitors, he did not have a political mind, but his military talents cannot be ignored.
During the Six Towns Rebellion, the Wei State did not have enough troops. When they fought against Ge Rong, Er Zhurong only had more than 7,000 people, while Ge Rong had tens of thousands. Er Zhurong relied on these 7,000 people to defeat Ge Rong.
He is an awesome military talent.
It's a pity that since ancient times, most of the courtiers who made trouble have been those with military power. Moreover, Yuan Ziyou was elected by Er Zhurong from the beginning, and Er Zhurong had no reason to let Yuan Ziyou develop.
.
Previously, I thought that Yuan Ziyou was too hasty to kill Er Zhurong and did not know how to tolerate it. However, the more he learned about it, he discovered that it was imminent to kill Er Zhurong and there was no time to practice Tai Chi. Once Er Zhurong entered the court, he would die.
Yuan Ziyou.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.
After the news of Er Zhurong's death came out, his adopted son Er Zhu Zhao, who was also his cousin, joined forces with Er Zhu Rong's younger brother and Er Zhu Zhao's uncle Er Zhu Shilong to appoint Gongzong Jingmu Tuoba Huang's great-grandson Di Yuan.
Ye became the emperor, with the reign title of Jianming, and he rebelled against Jinyang, and established a new court to fight against Yuan Ziyou.
Of course, Yuan Ziyou also knew what he would face after hastily killing Er Zhurong. However, unless it was a last resort, people had a sense of survival. No one wanted to die. Therefore, he could only kill Er Zhurong who was imminent first.
Zhu Rong.
Now Er Zhu Zhao rebelled, and Yuan Ziyou sent envoys to appease him. However, Er Zhu Zhao was brave but not wise. Er Zhu Rong once said, "Er Zhu Zhao can only lead three thousand cavalry at most. If there are more, there will be chaos."
Presumably, Er Zhurong was also suppressing him. Now that Er Zhurong was gone, how could he not resist? So he killed the envoy, raised troops from Jinyang, and attacked Luoyang directly.
Every dynasty, no matter how powerful it was before, could no longer provide any power at the end, and natural and man-made disasters continued. The same was true for Yuan Ziyou.
Er Zhuzhao led his troops to attack, but instead of resisting, the generals fled one after another. They were defeated like a mountain. Er Zhuzhao attacked Luoyang with little effort. Not only did he invade Luoyang, but due to the rebellion of the imperial army, Er Zhuzhao
Entering the palace was like entering a deserted land. As the emperor, Yuan Ziyou naturally fell into the hands of Er Zhu Zhao. However, Er Zhu Zhao did not kill him, but imprisoned him in Yongning Temple.
It is said that cutting off the grass means getting rid of the root. Yuan Ziyou was defeated, and his heirs were also destroyed. The only heirs recorded in history are the sons of Yuan Ziyou and Er Zhu Ying'e.
No matter what Er Zhu Ying'e thinks of Yuan Ziyou, the child is the flesh that fell from her body, and because of the suppression by Empress Dowager Hu, none of the women in Yuanxu, except Pan, gave birth to children. I'm afraid Er Zhu Ying'e has no regard for this.
The children are also very precious.
When Er Zhu Zhao came to snatch the child, Er Zhu Ying'e naturally couldn't let go, so a battle for the child was staged.
However, Er Zhu Ying'e was a woman after all, and Er Zhu Zhao was a military commander. Er Zhu Zhao snatched the child and handed it to the people around him for them to deal with, while he stopped Er Zhu Ying'e.
Seeing that Er Zhu Ying'e couldn't get out, she was so heartbroken that she could only express her anger and scratch Er Zhu Zhao:
"You deserve to die! Give me back my child! Are you worthy of your adoptive father by treating me like this?! You bastard!"
Er Zhu Ying'e was Er Zhu Zhao's sister. Er Zhu Zhao showed some affection for her, grabbed her hand and shouted:
"Don't go too far! If you make me anxious, I won't be able to take advantage of you!"
The two were fighting, and a soldier who went to deal with the child was a little weak in his steps and stumbled over. His face was frightened, and his words were trembling with trembling lips.
"Baby, baby, baby, no more, no more, no more."
The two people who were tearing at each other stopped tearing and looked at the soldier in confusion. The child had been disposed of and must have been gone. However, his expression didn't look like they thought he was gone.
Er Zhu Zhao said with a gloomy face:
"Speak clearly! What is gone?! Why is it gone?!"
The soldier shuddered and said calmly:
"We went to deal with the child, but, but..." Swallowed, "The child is gone, just gone out of thin air!"
Er Zhu Zhao dropped Er Zhu Ying'e and hurried to the place where the incident occurred.
Er Zhu Ying'e, who fell to the ground, was stunned, suddenly laughed, and shouted at Er Zhu Zhao:
"God have mercy on my child and protect him from death!"
Er Zhu Zhao ignored her and ordered Er Zhu Ying'e to be placed under house arrest.
When we arrived at the scene of the incident, except for a few soldiers who were weak in body, no clues could be seen. The soldier who went to report finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Er Zhuzhao really wanted to discuss the matter, but there were more important things for him to deal with, so he had to suppress the idea of further investigation and let it go.
After Yuan Ziyou got rid of Er Zhurong, he issued an imperial edict to the Hexi bandit commander He Douling Bu Fan, allowing Fan to attack Xiurong County (now Xinzhou, Shanxi), Er Zhu Zhao attacked Luoyang, and Xiurong County was empty of defenses, so Bu Fan sent his army south.
, the military force is very strong.
Xiurong County was considered the home of the Erzhu family. Erzhu Zhao stayed in Luoyang for a long time and ordered Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Dulu, Erzhu Yanbo and others to stay in Luoyang. He took Yuan Ziyou and rushed back to Jinyang to defend.
Er Zhuzhao was a strong general, brave and good at fighting. His bravery was really brave. Even Er Zhurong was amazed by his bravery. However, Er Zhuzhao had no strategy and was a powerful man.
The reason for attacking Luoyang was because the generals saw no hope and simply gave up resistance and let him enter Luoyang as if walking on flat ground. However, the battle against Hedouling Bufan was different, and he was defeated repeatedly.
After Er Zhu Zhao entered Luoyang, it could be said to be a disaster for Luoyang.
At that time, Erzhu Tianguang controlled Guanyou (west of Tongguan), Erzhu Zhong lived far away in Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan), Erzhu Zhao occupied Bingzhou (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), and Erzhu Shilong lived in Jingyi. Each of them was arbitrary and unruly, except Erzhu Tianguang who said that they "
"Not even cruel and violent", Yan Boshi said that they were "not bad enough to be troublesome", but they were both extremely greedy and cruel.
Among these three people, Er Zhu Zhongyuan was the worst. He slandered the wealthy family for treason, confiscated their homes and exterminated their families. All their property went into Er Zhu Zhongyuan’s pockets, and his dead husband was thrown into the river. There are countless people who have suffered such changes.
Among the generals under Zhu Zhongyuan, if anyone had a beautiful wife, he would always insult him.
Er Zhu Shilong had an overview of the government affairs, and he did whatever he wanted with life and death. He openly indulged in lust and debauchery. He trusted his neighbors and allowed them to reward and punish him.
Erzhu Rong's cousin Erzhu Dulu was retained by Erzhu Zhao to control the capital. He also had no end to amassing money and was hated by the people wherever he went.
The same was true for Erzhu Zhao, who plundered the capital and was greedy.
Gao Huan had written to Er Zhu Zhao before, stating his strong relationship with him and advising him. It probably meant that those who do evil will be killed, which angered Er Zhu Zhao. However, because they were far away, Er Zhu Zhao also took it when he was angry.
Gao Huan had no choice.
He was already angry, but now he suffered repeated defeats at the hands of He Douling Bufan, and he was even more angry. With nowhere to vent his anger, he aimed at Yuan Ziyou.
On the twenty-third day of December Jiazi (January 26, 531), Erzhu Zhao hanged Yuan Ziyou to death in a third-level Buddhist temple in Jinyang. Yuan Ziyou was only twenty-four years old when he died.
In the second year of Zhongxing (532), he was posthumously named Emperor Wuhuai. In the same year, after Emperor Xiaowu Yuanxiu came to the throne, his posthumous title was changed to Emperor Xiaozhuang, and his temple name was Jingzong.
Because Hedouling's Bufan pressed hard, Erzhu Zhao had to ask Gao Huan for help. The two armies joined forces and defeated Bufan. Bufan was defeated and died, and his tribe scattered and fled.
Although He Douling Bu Fan was defeated, Er Zhu Zhao had an enmity with Gao Huan, although it was not to the point of falling out.
Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhongyuan, Erzhu Dulu, Erzhu Tianguang and others who stayed in Luoyang gradually became obsessed with Erzhu Zhao's departure.
When he first invaded Luoyang, Erzhu Zhao believed that his success was great and forced Erzhu Shilong to give in. He took the first place. Erzhu Shilong always had a knot in his heart about this.
Now Er Zhu Zhao has left Luoyang, but Yuan Ye, whom Er Zhu Zhao recommended, is still there.
Several people planned to kill Yuan Ye's mother when she was out. The reason given was that Yuan Ye's mother interfered with the government affairs. Later, they used this as an excuse to depose Yuan Ye, saying that Yuan Ye had separated from them.
He was demoted as King of the East China Sea, and supported Yuan Gong, the grandson of Emperor Xianwen Emperor Tuoba Hong, as the new emperor.
As a result, one person achieved enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and those who supported Yuan Gong were promoted to high positions.
Why should we establish Yuan Gong?
Yuan Gong did not speak for nearly eight years, lived in Longhua Temple, and did not interact with others.
In the last years of Yong'an, someone reported to Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuan Ziyou that if Yuan Gong remained silent, he would have plots to rebel. There were also rumors among the people that he had the air of an emperor.
After Yuan Gong heard this, he was afraid of the disaster and fled to Shangluo to hide. He was soon followed and hunted, and was taken back to the capital and detained for many days. He was pardoned because he was not guilty.
Perhaps because of that folk rumor, the Erzhu clan chose him. However, the puppet emperor never had good results. Since Yuan Gong had been silent for eight years, why did Erzhu Dulu and others come to check on him?
Will he speak again when he is talking? Maybe he still has thoughts about the throne.
Now let’s talk about Gao Huan.
