Liu Xuan looked through it carefully and found that the first article was "Guangwu Benji", which recorded the story of Liu Xiu, but there were differences.
I continued to read, and the first chapter in the biographies was "The Biography of Liu Xuan and Liu Penzi".
Looking through the history books, Liu Xuan seemed to be witnessing history, but he felt strange for a while, and finally closed the book and fell into silence.
"What I experienced is slightly similar to the history books, but it is different!"
Liu Xuan said.
Emperor Ziwei said: "There are no two completely similar leaves in the world. Many of them are specious!"
"What did you understand after reading "Book of the Later Han"?" Emperor Ziwei asked.
Liu Xuan was silent, thinking about the meaning.
There is no love without reason, and there is no help without reason. If you want to get help from Emperor Ziwei, you must prove your worth. Once you have no use value, you will only be abandoned by Emperor Ziwei. Don't take yourself too seriously.
, overestimate your own value!
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty describes various things in the past, which seem to be similar to the past, but also seem to be different.
Liu Xuan asked: "Who wrote the Book of the Later Han Dynasty?"
Emperor Ziwei said: "It was written by the Emperor of Heaven!"
Liu Xuandao: "Emperor of Heaven, this is to use the infinite world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces to lay out the universe!"
Emperor Ziwei said: "The small world of Kunxu, and countless other small worlds, are a small chessboard; and the fairy world is a big chessboard. Many immortals, heavenly kings, emperors, etc. are all chess pieces on the chessboard. Don't be chess pieces.
It’s terrible, I’m afraid I’m not even qualified to be a chess piece!”
"Between heaven and earth, if we talk about all living beings, most of them are not even qualified to be chess pieces!"
Liu Xuan looked through the Book of the Later Han Dynasty again and said: "The Emperor of Heaven created many worlds based on this book. Could it be that the world of Kunxu is one of them."
Emperor Ziwei said: "Exactly, the Emperor of Heaven used this book to create a hundred similar worlds. The beginnings of the worlds are similar, but there are various great emperors in the middle, and the development directions are very different. The historical trajectories and destiny trajectories are very different.
For the difference!”
"Some worlds are just mortal worlds. No extraordinary power has been born, and the strongest ones are just innate warriors! Some worlds have given birth to top-notch strong men, who can rule the country by one person and intimidate the world by just one person; some worlds have given birth to those who restrict the immortal way.
Existence evolves into dragon energy!"
"The evolution of the world is different, leading to different futures, but some are similar. For example, in some worlds, the Western Han Dynasty exists; but in some worlds, the Western Han Dynasty does not exist. In some worlds, Wang Mang exists, but in some
In this world, only Qin Mang exists!"
"There are worlds where Emperor Gengshi exists; but there are worlds where Emperor Gengshi does not exist!"
"If there is no Wang Mang, there will be Qin Mang, Li Mang, Zhao Mang, etc. to replace him; if the Western Han Dynasty does not exist, there will be the Great Zhou Dynasty! However, no matter how the changes occur, Liu Xiu will inevitably appear, Liu Xiu will rise, and Liu Xiu will become emperor...
…This is the general trend of heaven and earth, and no one can reverse it!”
"The Lord of Heaven, the Great Emperor, etc. can add chess pieces to it, and they can change the small trend, but they cannot reverse the general trend. Reversing the general trend is equivalent to reversing the Emperor of Heaven..."
As he said this, Emperor Ziwei looked at Liu Xuan with some profound meaning.
Liu Xuandao: "Your Majesty, why did you rescue me from the mortal world!"
"The general trend cannot be changed. Emperor Gengshi must die. This is the general trend; as for how Emperor Gengshi dies, it is a small trend!" Emperor Ziwei said: "In that mortal world, most people think that you are already dead, so you will die too.
Lost!"
"As for the chess pieces, once they leave the chessboard, they are no longer chess pieces and are naturally not subject to the rules of the chessboard!"
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty, to escape from the mortal world and enter the fairy world!" Liu Xuan said.
"It's just from a small chessboard to another big chessboard!" Emperor Ziwei said: "I once dealt with thirty-six Liu Xuan, and most of them failed..."
…………
The Red Eyebrow Army captured Chang'an City, but could not find Emperor Gengshi.
So, not long after, news spread that Emperor Gengshi had committed suicide.
After entering Chang'an City, the military discipline of the Red Eyebrow Army was acceptable at first, but later, due to insufficient logistics supplies, they began to loot, and all the wealthy families in Guanzhong suffered.
There was a cry in Guanzhong.
The Red Eyebrow Army excavated the imperial tomb again, which disgusted the powerful people in Guanzhong.
At this time, sitting in Tongguan, Deng Yu hesitated and said: "We have a large army, but few elite soldiers. There are not many elites who can fight, and the transportation of grain and grass to the rear is insufficient. The current plan should not be to attack blindly, but to focus on defense!"
"
When the news came, Liu Xiu agreed.
The Red Eyebrow Army conquered Chang'an City, and he should also conquer Luoyang.
The army's attack continued, and Luoyang was crumbling and could not hold on for much longer. A look of despair flashed in Zhu Kun's eyes.
I can't hold on much longer!
The city of Luoyang must be destroyed. The only difference is the length of persistence. The people under his command also have different ideas and thoughts. They all want to surrender. Their hearts are floating and they cannot hold on for much longer.
Soon after, some generals opened the city gates and surrendered, trying to lure the Hebei army in, but failed.
But this battle shook Zhu Tuna's determination to defend. There was the first one, and there was the second one. Maybe someone would surrender the next moment.
"Your Majesty, I once served as a general under Zhu Kun. He was a very talented man. If we hold on to Luoyang, our army will definitely suffer losses in the war. Will the general be willing to persuade Zhu Kun to surrender?"
Cen Peng said.
"Okay, as long as Zhu Tuna surrenders, I will let bygones be bygones and I will never break my promise!" Liu Xiu said.
Cen Peng arrived at the bottom of the city, and Zhu Kun was on the city wall. The two looked at each other. Cen Peng spoke first, saying that the words of the past were gentle, and Zhu Kun responded. The two talked happily.
Cen Peng said: "I have received favors from you before, and I always wanted to repay you. Now that Emperor Gengshi has been defeated and the emperor has won the hearts of the people, what's the point of holding on to the city?"
Zhu Tuna said: "In the past, I participated in the killing of Da Situ, and I also persuaded Gengshi not to send King Xiao to Hebei. I would not dare to surrender if I was guilty!"
Cen Peng said: "In the past, these things were just for each person to do his own thing, and he was loyal to his duties. It was nothing. The emperor has a big heart and a belly that can take a boat... Your Majesty is doing big things, how can you care about small things. If you kneel down
, Your Majesty, why would I kill you? The water of the Yellow River is my witness and I will never break my promise!"
Zhu Tuna said: "If what you said is true...do you have the courage to follow the rope to the city?"
With that said, Zhu Tuna waved his hand, dropped the rope, and got under the city wall.
Cen Peng smiled, "Why don't you dare!"
With that said, he stepped forward, climbed the rope, and followed the rope to the city.
Seeing his sincerity, Zhu Tuna said: "I hope I am not Han Xin and you are not Xiao He!"
Cen Peng said: "If your Majesty makes a mistake, I will die with you!"
Zhu Tuna agreed to surrender, and without much hesitation, he walked directly down the city to the military camp and asked Liu Xiu to surrender. Later, something changed. He was afraid that he would think too much and would not have the courage to surrender.
When he arrived at the military camp, Zhu Kun immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I said to let bygones be bygones, let bygones be bygones, how can I break my promise!" Liu Xiu stepped forward to help him up and said leisurely: "If you can repent and turn from darkness to light, I will make you a prince!"
Soon after, Zhu Kun was conferred the title of Marquis of Fugou.
