Since the Jin Dynasty, anyone who marries a princess has been miserable and life is worse than death.
For example, the great general Wang Dun feared his wife like a tiger all his life, and the great Sima Huan Wen often attacked him with sticks.
No matter how heroic they are and their family background is extraordinary, just because their wives are rich and powerful, they have no choice but to live in shame and live in humiliation for the rest of their lives.
The princesses are arrogant and domineering, and they often get offended. The princes-in-law never see the morning light, nor the sunset light at night. The control is so strict, how sad!
Different from the consorts of the previous generations, Wang Xianzhi divorced his first wife Xi Daomao and became the consort under the coercion of Princess Sima Daofu of Xin'an.
Having personally experienced being beaten with a stick, no one may be able to relate to the twists and turns and pain involved...
On the day of the court meeting, Wang Xianzhi, who was kept in the dark, still went to Dianmao, Sanqi Province. It had been more than a month since his Taifu Xie Anwei, General Shi Qian, became Huang Menlang. After Taifu Xie An passed away, he became obsessed with painting. It is even better than the calligraphy attainments of his father, Wang Xizhi.
Ximing Gate is the forbidden gate to the west of Jiankang Palace. Wang Xianzhi was going out to go to the History Museum outside Da Sima Gate to read documents. Before he even stepped out of the forbidden gate, there were bursts of noise in front of him, followed by several The panicked chamberlain and maidservant bumped into Wang Xianzhi who had just walked out of the door. Wang Xianzhi fell down in an instant!
"Ah!" Several maids and chamberlains huddled together and fell aside one after another. Wang Xianzhi frowned and was about to scold, but unexpectedly there was a sound of armor scraping and heavy footsteps.
Wang Xianzhi stood up with difficulty, holding his head. His eyes were shining, and his mouth could fit as big as an egg!
"Commander Wang!" Wang Xianzhi exclaimed Wang Chen's name in surprise, but he didn't know that his life was in danger right in front of him!
Wang Chen waved his hand, and the sergeants of the Right Shenwu Army immediately stepped forward. A tiger-head spear passed under Wang Xianzhi's ribs. The two sergeants easily lifted up the defenseless Wang Xianzhi.
"Why does Commander Wang treat me like this?" Wang Xianzhi looked confused, not knowing what kind of changes had happened in the palace.
For Wang Xianzhi who didn't know anything at first glance, Wang Chen bypassed him in disgust and led people directly into Ximing Gate. It was less than 500 steps away from the Chongxun Palace where King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji imprisoned Emperor Jin!
Yes, Emperor Jin was placed under house arrest by Wang Chen, and the people guarding Chongxun Palace were all Wang Chen's cronies in the Youshenwu Army. At this time, as long as he led his troops to Chongxun Palace, and then forced Emperor Jin to issue an edict excusing him from guilt, Not only could Wang Chen be freed immediately, but he could also become the central minister!
Why could Wang Chen change his strategy so quickly? After King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji was assassinated on the spot, he could still think of holding the Jin Emperor hostage to order the court?
Let’s look at the man following Wang Chen closely. It turned out to be a man in Tsing Yi who came to Jiankang City on the day of Xu Zongwen’s wedding. After that, he visited Daming Tower several times to meet with the people behind the scenes, and now he suddenly appeared in front of Wang Chen. Who is this person next to me?
Liu Yan, a familiar yet unfamiliar name.
Around February of the ninth year of Taiyuan, Xu Zongwen led 500 personal guards into Linzi City, Qingzhou, and then attacked the governor's mansion at night and captured Qingzhou governor Fu Lang alive. Not long after, Xu Zongwen sent out a large number of county soldiers to seize people who were close to Han Ji, the prefect of Chengyang, for corruption and bribery. This Liu Yan was the former Linzi Tiancao. When Xu Zongwen killed everyone in one go, He was the only one who escaped from Linzi City early!
It seemed that someone had tipped him off. As soon as he heard the noise, he fled silently.
The five prefects were defeated, the county soldiers were recruited, and Han Ji and others died in captivity. It was Liu Yan again, like a cunning mouse, who got into an uninhabited corner and once again missed death. !
After a year, Liu Yan appeared in Jiankang City. It was as if there was a huge black hand pushing and controlling everything...
Wang Chen's attitude was particularly cold, and it seemed that the one on duty today was not the You Shenwu Army. Wang Xianzhi gradually realized it. Soon, Xu Zongwen and Zhang Songzhi led Longxiang Military Training to catch up in a hurry. Two groups of people happened to block Wang Xianzhi. In the middle!
"You are eating the country's salary instead of serving the Wang family's bowl. Now that Wang Chen has caused rebellion, you will also help him and wait to be implicated?" Zhang Songzhi raised his long sword and shouted loudly at the You Shenwu Army who was escorting several Wang Xianzhi. Soldiers.
Several sergeants of the Right Shenwu Army looked at each other, and the steel knives they held in their hands were slightly loosened, but they were still hesitant due to Wang Chen's death order!
Xu Zongwen saves trouble and directly lets the archers behind him step forward and aim at all Wang Chen's confidants outside Ximing Gate. Without saying a word, he prepares to raise his hand and order to shoot. Almost even the consort Wang Xianzhi ignores them!
Zhang Songzhi was horrified. He naturally recognized this Wang Xianzhi. He was from the Langya Wang family and was the newlywed consort of Princess Xin'an. Although Wang Chen's mutiny was really annoying, it had nothing to do with the Langya Wang family. Did Wang Xianzhi and Xu Zongwen actually want to kill him as well?
"Get ready!" At almost the moment when Xu Zongwen was counting down, all the right Shenwu troops guarding Ximing Gate dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender...
Not far outside Chongxun Palace, Wang Chen insisted on going his own way. He had led people to surround the entire palace and was breaking through the door.
"Bold! Who are you? How dare you break into Chongxun Palace! Do you know that this is His Majesty's chamber, the residence of the Emperor? Get out of here!" Hua Fuzi led a group of servants to try to stop Youshenwujun from breaking into Chongxun Palace. , but he was outnumbered and could only be captured.
The Right Shenwu Army made a lot of noise in the palace. The panicked servants and maids were running around. Wang Chen had no scruples and directly ordered the killing. He had already come to this step. If he took a step forward, he would either be on a cliff or paved with blood. Body level!
Wang Chen knew that once he made the decision to break into the inner court and surround Chongxun Palace, there was no way out.
Wang Chencang pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed the snow-white neck of a maid next to him with a clang. The maid immediately covered her neck and fell into a pool of blood!
"Find His Majesty quickly! As long as we find His Majesty, you will all be heroes! No one can accuse us anymore. The gold, silver, cloth and beauties in Jiankang City are all ours!" Liu Yan stood behind Wang Chen and faced shouted all around.
Undoubtedly, the soldiers of the Right Shenwu Army who had been stained with blood had also cut off their escape. After hearing Liu Yan's promise and encouragement, their eyes turned red. Everyone held their weapons tightly and looked at the various rooms in the hall vigilantly. everywhere, carefully looking for the figure of Emperor Jin...
Behind the side hall of Chongxun Palace, there is a screen with a picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers inscribed by Wang Xizhi. Behind this screen is a secret passage!
Not long after the extremely weak Jin Emperor entered the secret passage with the support of Hua Qi and Zhang Guiren, Wang Chen led his troops to break into the palace, within a dozen or so fingers.
"It's all thanks to Taifu that your Majesty can save the day today!" Hua Qi swallowed and looked carefully at his feet. Not to mention the secret passages in this area, even most of the Jiankang Palace was built by Taifu Xie'an. Rebuilt under the auspices of the Jin Dynasty, the palaces occupied by emperors before the Jin Dynasty were all the Taichu Palace built by Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period.
When he heard that King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji was killed and Wang Chen led his troops into the palace, Emperor Jin was so anxious that he was sweating!
"Your Majesty, this secret passage leads to the south of the city. Someone will be there to meet you at the exit..."
"Let's go, let's go!" Zhang Guiren couldn't listen to Hua Qi's talk and just urged to go. She just wanted to leave this dark secret passage as soon as possible.
Life and death are at stake, it's important to escape!
Hua Qi kept groping forward while holding a torch. The secret passage was not as narrow as imagined. On the contrary, it was no problem for two people to walk side by side.
Emperor Jin touched the walls on the left and right sides of the secret passage and was helped to move forward slowly. It was strange that it was a hot day in May, but it was very cool in the secret passage. The stone bricks on the wall were cold, a bit like winter.
The coldness in his hands did not relieve the anxiety in Emperor Jin's heart, and he became even more impatient!
This speed is too slow!
If this continues, if Wang Chen's people find out, they will catch up immediately, no!
Suddenly, there was a dark wind behind Emperor Jin's head, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." I saw the Right Shenwu Army wearing Forbidden Army armor actually appearing in front of the secret passage!
Just when the dazzling and hot torches blocked everyone's eyes, "Pfft..." But the sound of bows and crossbows was fired again by the team of forbidden troops!
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, are you okay, Your Majesty?" Hua Qi saw that the Forbidden Army in front of him was dead and wounded, and there were wailing sounds everywhere, and he quickly stepped forward.
"What exactly is going on?"
The people in the Forbidden Army actually started killing each other. Emperor Jin, Zhang Guiren and Hua Qi were stunned to see it!
