After thinking about this for several days, I finally decided to go to Luoyang. However, when I arrived at Beimang Mountain, I saw Luoyang in the distance, but I was afraid and did not dare to go forward.
After a lot of trouble, they finally entered the city. However, Er Zhurong neither paid homage to the emperor nor arranged for anyone to guard the capital. Those who followed Er Zhurong from the north rode directly into the palace.
The nobles, nobles, ministers, and ministers were dying and running away, and there was no order in the court. There were only a few old ministers around Yuan Ziyou.
Under this situation, Er Zhurong still insisted on moving the capital, and Yuan Ziyou could not refuse.
Er Zhurong once again apologized to the court for the massacre of hundreds of officials at Heqiao in the Mingguang Hall, and swore that he would never have a second thought towards the court.
Yuan Ziyou stood up and stopped Er Zhurong in person, and with a sincere face, he swore to Er Zhurong that he would not be suspicious of him.
Er Zhurong was overjoyed and asked for a drink. As a result, he got drunk and fell asleep in the palace.
Yuan Ziyou could take his elder brother Yuan Shao and younger brother Yuan Zheng with him, which shows that he had a good relationship with them. But Er Zhurong killed them in front of him. How could Yuan Ziyou not feel resentful? Moreover, Er Zhurong killed them in front of him.
Among the more than 2,000 people killed, there were many members of the royal family. What's more, among those ministers, there were also many good ministers and generals, who were all killed by Er Zhurong.
It can be said that Er Zhurong's killing destroyed the ruling body of Wei State. How could Yuan Ziyou not hate him!
Therefore, Yuan Ziyou wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but the ministers on the left and right tried to persuade him.
At this time, Yuan Ziyou had no power, and there were people from Er Zhurong inside and outside the palace. It was easy to kill Er Zhurong, but how to deal with the aftermath if he killed him? Therefore, Yuan Ziyou had no choice but to give up and let people use a bed and chariot to kill Er Zhurong.
He was carried to the Zhongchangshi Province.
Er Zhurong woke up in the middle of the night and did not close his eyes until dawn. From then on, Er Zhurong never dared to stay in the palace again.
Er Zhurong's daughter was originally Yuan Ziyou's concubine. Er Zhurong wanted Yuan Ziyou to make her his queen, but Yuan Ziyou was hesitant.
Zu Ying, the servant of Huangmen, said:
"Once upon a time, when Duke Wen of Jin took refuge in the state of Qin, his sister-in-law Huai Ying married him on the order of his father, Duke Mu of Qin. Sometimes there are things that go against the scriptures but are reasonable. Why do you have any doubts, Your Majesty?"
Yuan Ziyou accepted Zu Ying's suggestion and agreed to make Er Zhurong's daughter his queen. Er Zhurong was very happy.
From these two incidents, it can be seen that Yuan Ziyou is not a person who achieves great things.
Although Er Zhurong initially made Yuan Ziyou the emperor, a series of events later showed that Yuan Ziyou and Er Zhurong had a sworn hatred.
Consider the consequences.
For example, Killer Zhurong.
If Yuan Ziyou has not sat on the throne, he will be killed. However, he has already sat on the throne, and he should shoulder the burden of being the emperor. If he kills Er Zhurong, and Er Zhurong's people kill him, then
, what should Wei do? Now he is no longer a single Yuan Ziyou, but Yuan Ziyou, the emperor of Wei.
Let’s talk about the matter of making Erzhu the queen.
The ministers must have mentioned Wei in their remonstrances to kill Er Zhurong, but they still failed to arouse Yuan Ziyou's awareness and wanted to confront Er Zhurong over such a trivial matter.
Yuan Ziyou once said, "I would rather die as a noble countryman than live as a Han emperor." It can be seen that he was also a bloody person, but his bloody nature was a bit reckless.
When Er Zhurong and others entered the capital, some said: Er Zhurong was going to move the capital to Jinyang, and some said: Er Zhurong wanted to send troops to plunder. Everyone was panicked, and the young people in the capital fled one after another, leaving no one left.
No one dared to come out.
This resulted in a situation where the guards in the capital were empty and the official positions in the court were deserted. With the court in such a state, the people of Luoyang may also be in panic all day long.
After Er Zhurong learned about this, he wrote a letter to apologize and asked Yuan Ziyou's brother to be honored as Emperor Yuanshao, that is, Emperor Xiaoxuan. He also gave posthumous gifts to all kings, officials, and even ordinary people, and asked Yuan Ziyou to
An envoy was sent to visit the city to offer condolences.
After a thorough operation, the relationship finally settled down, and a few of the escaped court officials came back.
In May, Erzhu Rong returned to Jinyang, but he still left Yuan Tianmu and other confidants in Luoyang. These people were assigned to various positions. Whatever Yuan Ziyou wanted to do, he had to listen to these people. Erzhu
Although Rong was far away from Luoyang and Yuan Ziyou, his control over Yuan Ziyou was still not over.
Let’s not talk about how the monarch and his ministers fought secretly. Let’s take a look at the favored people of Empress Dowager Hu.
Let’s talk about Li Shengui first.
He was relatively simple. Before he had time to make any moves or thoughts, he was clicked during the "Heyin Change".
Let’s talk about Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan was originally from Xingyang, and his brother Zheng Zhongming was the prefect of Xingyang. Zheng Yan heard that Er Zhurong was about to enter Luoyang, so he left early and defected to Zheng Zhongming. The two discussed and planned to rebel in the county, but they were killed by his subordinates.
.
Finally, let’s take a look at Xu He.
Xu He ran to Yanzhou and defected to Taishan Governor Yang Kan. He somehow deceived Yang Kan. Yang Kan's cavalry rebelled against the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack Yang Kan and led his troops to defect to Nanliang together with Xu He.
Brothers, remember Yang Kan, alas, a bear digs a hole and his back hurts.
At this time, the Wei State was not stable. There were Wanqi Chou Nu in the west, Ge Rong in the east, and the newly rising Xing Gao.
Now, let's go back to Ge Rong and Du Luozhou.
In the second year of Xiaochang (526), Ge Rong merged with Du Luozhou's army, and the rebel army became larger. Later, Ge Rong defeated and killed Tuoba Huang's great-grandson Yuanrong.
Perhaps because he killed a member of the royal family, he was so happy that he could not find the north. Ge Rong called himself the emperor, named his country Qi, and named his reign Guang'an.
Later, Tuoba Tao's great-grandson Yuan Shen was captured. However, as mentioned before, this rebel army was not a peasant rebel army. They were not all ordinary people. Therefore, I knew more about these smart people. Therefore, I saw
When I came to Yuanshen, I liked him very much.
As soon as Ge Rong proclaimed himself the King of Heaven, Yuan Shen appeared. Fearing that he would threaten his position, he was proclaimed king by his subordinates. This shows how much the soldiers loved Yuan Shen, so Ge Rong brought him to the throne.
Yuan Shen was also clicked.
In the third year of Xiaochang (527), Ge Rong fought through obstacles and captured the enemy one after another. In December, he attacked Xiangzhou. However, Li Shen, the governor of Xiangzhou, remained calm in the face of danger and comforted and encouraged the soldiers. As a result, everyone obeyed Li Shen's orders.
With such a united situation, coupled with the protection of the city wall, Ge Rong had been successful for several years, but finally encountered a hard nut, that is, Xiangzhou could not be conquered.
In February of the first year of Yong'an (528), Ge Rong led his army to attack Du Luozhou and recruit his tribe.
What is this called? This means that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Ge Rong is not a tolerant person and does not have the belly of the prime minister. Moreover, Du Luozhou has his own power. It is crazy that Ge Rong can tolerate Du Luozhou.
When Ge Rong killed Du Luo Zhou, it was impossible to kill Du Luo Zhou alone. The word "strike" was used in historical materials, which shows that the killing was not easy. Therefore, Ge Rong's killing killed many rebels and weakened them.
increased the strength of the rebel army.
However, Gou Xiong believes that the previous killing of Yuan Shen and the blow to Du Luo Zhou may have scattered people's hearts, and the fighting force can be recruited again. However, once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to reunite them.
.
After merging Du Luozhou's troops, he abandoned Xiangzhou and captured Cangzhou (now Yanshan County, Hebei Province) on March 26. He captured and killed Xue Qingzhi, the governor of Cangzhou, and nine out of ten people in Cangzhou were killed.
This is because Xiangzhou was not defeated and he came to Cangzhou to vent his anger.
In June, Ge Rong's rebel army was short of food, so he sent his servant Ren Bao to lead his troops to invade south and reach Qinshui County.
The court of the Northern Wei Dynasty appointed Yuan Tianmu as the general to oversee the military affairs in the Northeast, and led Zong Zhengzhen, Sun and other generals to attack Ge Rong.
In August, Ge Rong led an army to surround Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province). The army was said to number one million. The scattered soldiers had passed Jijun (now Weihui City, Henan Province), killing and plundering wherever they went.
Er Zhurong, who was named the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom, requested to lead an army to attack Ge Rong.
In September, Er Zhurong led 7,000 (some say 70,000) cavalry, with Hou Jing as the vanguard, doubled their march from the shortcut, and headed east out of Fukou (now northwest of Ci County, Hebei Province) to attack the rebels.
Why were the rebels so arrogant and arrogant, and captured many states in succession? Because the Wei State had no troops, and the generals who were still fighting in the north after the "Yongjia Southern Crossing" were helpless. Without troops, what could they use to fight? "
The "empty city strategy" cannot be used every time, nor is it effective every time.
Ge Rong understood that the Wei State had no troops, so he became complacent. He underestimated the enemy and dispersed his troops. As a result, he was defeated by Er Zhurong's surprise troops. Ge Rong was captured, escorted to Luoyang and beheaded, and the uprising failed.
From Du Luo Zhou's rebellion until Ge Rong was killed, this rebellion was known as the "Hebei Uprising" in history.
Bear, please say a few more words.
In Chinese history, there are many people like Ge Rong who are complacent with some achievements. There are really only a handful of heroes like Chao Gai in "Water Margin".
Although Xiong Xiong hates Liu Bei, it has to be said that in times of chaos, only people like Liu Bei can become bigger, win people's hearts, and recruit talents. People like Ge Rong are the tail of the rabbit.
Look, history has set us up on the wrong side, and history is teaching us how to behave.
Let's talk about the "Xing Gao Uprising" caused by Xing Gao. The reason for this guy's rebellion can make people laugh out loud.
Xing Gao, a native of Hejian (southwest of today's Hejian County, Hebei Province), was born as a noble landowner. He served as the administrator of Pingbei Mansion in Youzhou. Du Luozhou, after the Xianyu Xiuli rebellion, many people in Yingzhou and Jizhou went south to avoid the chaos.
.
Xing Gao led his tribe to garrison in Mocheng (north of Renqiu County, Hebei) to resist Du Luozhou and Ge Rong, and guarded it for three years. After the defeat of Wang Yuanyuan and others in Guangyang, Xing Gao crossed south and settled in Beihai, Qingzhou (today's Qingzhou).
Southeast of Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province).
The imperial court ordered that wherever refugees gather, counties and counties should be set up, and wealthy and aristocratic families should be selected as guardians to appease and guard them.
At that time, Yuan Shijun, the governor of Qingzhou, established Xin'an County and appointed Xing Gao as the governor. However, he did not report it. Later, Xing Gao's subordinate Xing Ziyao's Ziyin took the lead and accepted Xing Ziyao as the governor of Hejian. Xing Gao was deeply ashamed.
