Liu Chengyou sent the Xuanhui envoy Wang Jun to arrange a banquet to mediate the relationship between the generals, but failed. Su Fengji asked to be appointed as a vassal town to avoid Shi Hongzhao, but soon gave up and said: "If I leave the court and Shi Gong does whatever he wants, I will be shattered into pieces."

Now." Wang Zhang was also unhappy and planned to seek a post as a foreign official, but Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao repeatedly dissuaded him.

Since Liu Chengyou came to the throne, the privy envoys, Youpu She and Tongping Zhang have been responsible for the confidential government affairs of Prime Minister Yang Bin. Guo Wei, the privy envoy and the sergeant in charge of the military affairs, has presided over the military campaigns.

The guards of the capital, the third envoy, and Wang Zhang of Tongping Zhangshi were in charge of finance and taxation. Yang Bin was loyal and upright, and he retired from the court and returned home. There was no private visit at his door. Although he did not refuse gifts from the four directions, he gave any excess to the emperor.

Shi Hongzhao was responsible for the security of the capital and did not pick up relics on the road. At this time, after the Khitan rebellion in the Central Plains, the government and the people were in financial difficulties. Wang Zhang collected surplus profits and saved expenses to enrich the treasury. Although Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong, and Zhao Siwan rebelled in three towns.

, the army has been used for many years without shortage of supply. When the situation calmed down, in addition to rewards, there was still a surplus, so the country was basically stable.

Wang Zhang was very strict in collecting taxes. In the past, it was stipulated that in addition to every dendrobium of land tax, two liters should be paid, which was called "sparrow consumption". Wang Zhang began to order another two liters to be paid, which was called "saving consumption"; in the past, the payment of coins was the income.

They all regarded eighty Wen as "Mo". Wang Zhang began to order that those who received income should use eighty Wen as "Mo", and those who paid out should use seventy-seven Wen as "Mo". They were called "Provincial Mo" and "violated salt, alum,

Those who were banned from drinking koji, even if they only had one tael or one cent, were sentenced to death. This made the people feel sad and resentful.

Wang Zhang particularly disliked civil servants. He once said: "They don't know how to use the chips given to them by these people, and they don't know how to use them." The salaries of civil servants cannot be used for military supplies, and the relevant officials have exceeded the salary of civil servants.

The value was estimated, and Wang Zhang increased it again.

Liu Chengyou's favored ministers were gradually appointed, and the Queen Mother's relatives also interfered in the government affairs, and Yang Bin and others repeatedly suppressed them. The son of an old friend of the Queen Mother asked for a military post, but Shi Hongzhao got angry and killed him. Li Ye, the military envoy, was the Queen Mother.

Liu Zhiyuan asked him to take charge of the palace property. After Liu Chengyou came to the throne, he received special favor. When the Xuanhui envoy was vacant, Li Ye wanted to fill the vacancy. Liu Chengyou and the Queen Mother also greeted the prime minister. Yang Bin and Shi Hongzhao believed that the inner dynasty envoy was responsible for

There are regulations on promotion and promotion, and he cannot be given up because he is a relative and skips the rank.

Yan Jinqing, the envoy to the Hakka Province in the Inner Dynasty, was supposed to be appointed as the envoy to declare the Hui Province, but there has been no replacement. Privy minister Nie Wenjin, Feilong envoy Hou Kuangzan, and Hanlin tea and wine envoy Guo Yunming were all favored by Liu Chengyou, but they were not promoted for a long time, so together

Resentful of the prime minister. Liu Zhu was dismissed from his post and returned from Qingzhou. He had been idle for a long time and had no assigned duties. Therefore, he often pointed fingers at those in power and felt resentful in his heart.

Liu Chengyou had just finished his three-year mourning for his great ancestor. He listened to music and rewarded the actors with brocade robes and jade belts. The actors went to Shi Hongzhao to express his gratitude. Shi Hongzhao said angrily: "The soldiers guarding the frontier and fighting hard have not given these rewards. What do you people have to do?

You will be rewarded with a brocade robe and a jade belt for your merit!" Then they were all confiscated and returned to the government. Liu Chengyou wanted to make his beloved Mrs. Geng the queen, but Yang Bin thought it was too soon and did not agree. When Mrs. Geng passed away, Liu Chengyou wanted to bury her with the rites of a queen, but Yang Bin thought it was too soon.

No.

Liu Chengyou was getting older and disliked being restricted by ministers. Yang Bing, Shi Hongzhao and others discussed political affairs in front of Liu Chengyou. Liu Chengyou said: "Think carefully and don't let people gossip!" Yang Bing said: "Your Majesty, just keep silent.

We are there for everything." Therefore, Liu Chengyou's resentment could not be subsided for a long time.

The favored ministers took the opportunity to slander Liu Chengyou and said: "Yang Ping and others are domineering and unscrupulous, and they will eventually commit rebellion." Liu Chengyou listened to their words. Liu Chengyou once heard the sound of blacksmithing in the handicraft workshop at night, and suspected that someone was rushing to make weapons.

, didn't fall asleep until dawn. Sikong, Tongping Zhangshi Su Fengji had already become estranged from Shi Hongzhao. Knowing that Li Ye and others resented Shi Hongzhao, he used words to provoke them many times.

Liu Chengyou then planned with Li Ye, Nie Wenjin, Hou Kuangzan, and Guo Yunming to kill Yang Bin and others. After the discussion was decided, they went inside to report to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said: "How can you act rashly? You should discuss it with the prime minister again." Li Ye was nearby at the time.

, said: "The late emperor once said that important affairs of the court should not be planned with scholars. Scholars who are timid and fearful will make mistakes and harm others." The Queen Mother repeated what she had just said, and Liu Chengyou said angrily: "National affairs are not done by women of the boudoir.

You can know it!" He came out with a puff of sleeves.

Li Ye and others told Yan Jinqing about their plot. Yan Jinqing was afraid that it would not work out, so he went to Shi Hongzhao's residence and wanted to tell him. Shi Hongzhao declined to see him because of other matters.

The next morning, Yang Bin and others went to court. Dozens of heavily armed warriors came out from the Guangzheng Hall and killed Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao, and Wang Zhang under the corridor house on the east side. Nie Wenjin immediately summoned the courtiers to the Chongyuan Hall.

Arranged according to the imperial class, the decree was announced: "Yang Bin and others have plotted rebellion and have been convicted and executed. Let's celebrate with you all." He also summoned the generals to the Long Live Palace Court. Liu Chengyou announced the matter to them personally and said: "Yang Bin

Others treat me like a child. From now on, I will become your monarch. From now on, you will be free from the worries of tyrannical officials." Everyone bowed and left.

Liu Chengyou also summoned the military envoys and governors in front of Beijing to announce the matter, and sent envoys and cavalry to arrest the relatives, party members, and followers of Yang Bin and others, killing them all. Shi Hongzhao treated Wang Yin, the commander of the infantry guards, particularly favorably.

After Yang Bing and others died, Liu Chengyou sent the envoy Meng Ye to Chanzhou and Yedu with a top-secret edict, ordering Li Hongyi, the governor of Zhenning, to kill Wang Yin, and ordered Guo Chongwei, the commander of the horse army, and the commander of the infantry army to camp in Yedu.

Cao Wei, a man from Zhending, killed Guo Wei and the supervisors, and Wang Jun, the envoy of Xuanhui, was killed.

Liu Chengyou also urgently issued an edict to recruit Tianping Jiedushi Gao Xingzhou, Pinglu Jiedushi Fu Yanqing, Yongxing Jiedushi Guo Congyi, Taining Jiedushi Murong Yanchao, Kuangguo Jiedushi Xue Huairang, Zhengzhou Defense Envoy Wu Qianyu, Chen

Li Yu, the governor of the state, entered the capital and entered the court. Su Fengji was appointed to preside over the affairs of the Privy Council. Liu Zhu, the former envoy of Pinglu Festival, was in charge of the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion. Li Hongjian, the commander of the bodyguards and Ma Jundu, was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the bodyguards department. Yan Jinqing, the provincial envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, acted as commander of the bodyguards Ma Jundu.

make.

At that time, people inside and outside the imperial court were in panic. Although Su Fengji hated Shi Hongzhao, he did not participate in the conspiracy of Li Ye and others. When he heard about the incident, he was suddenly shocked and said to others in private: "The matter was done too hastily. If the emperor asks me anything, he will never

It won't come to this!" Li Ye and others ordered Liu Zhu to kill Guo Wei and Wang Jun's family members. Liu Zhu was extremely cruel and even killed the baby.

No children survived. Li Hongjian was ordered to kill Wang Yin's family members. Li Hongjian only sent guards to monitor and still provided food and drink.

When the envoy arrived in Chanzhou, Li Hongyi was timid and fearful that Wang Yin already knew about the matter and did not dare to take action. So he took Meng Ye to see Wang Yin. Wang Yin imprisoned Meng Ye and sent his deputy Chen Guangsui to show the secret edict to Guo Wei. Guo Wei summoned him

Privy Councilor Wei Renpu showed him the edict and said, "What should we do about this matter?"

Wei Renpu said: "You are a minister of the country, and your reputation for meritorious service has always been outstanding. In addition, you have strong troops and strongholds in important towns. Once you are framed by a villain, the disaster will be unexpected and cannot be solved by words. The situation has become like this, and you cannot sit still.

Wait." Guo Wei then summoned Guo Chongwei, Cao Wei and other generals to inform Yang Bin and others of their unjust death and the secret edict, and said: "I and Yang Bin and others went through all obstacles to follow the late emperor to seize the world, and accepted the important task of Tuogu.

, tried their best to defend the country, but now that they are dead, what else can I think about living alone! You should carry out the edict and cut off my head to report to the emperor, and you can probably avoid being involved."

Guo Chongwei and others all shed tears and said: "The emperor is young, this must be done by the villains around the emperor. If these villains are allowed to succeed, how can the country find peace! I, Guo Chongwei, am willing to follow you to the capital to appeal in person and wipe out the situation.

Incompetent people come to clean up the filth in the court. They must not be killed by a messenger and suffer eternal infamy." Hanlin Astronomy Zhao Xiuji said to Guo Wei: "What's the point of dying in vain? It's better to follow the hearts of the people and lead the troops southward. This is a God-given opportunity.

Ah." Guo Wei then left his adopted son Guo Rong to guard Yedu, and ordered Guo Chongwei to lead the cavalry to open the way. Wuyin himself led the large army to continue the march.

Murong Yanchao was eating when he got the edict, put down his chopsticks and went to the capital to enter the court. Liu Chengyou entrusted all the military affairs to him. When Liu Chengyou heard that Guo Wei was leading troops to the south, he discussed sending troops to resist. Kaifeng Yinhou Yi said: "The family members of the soldiers guarding Yedu

They are all in the capital, and the government troops cannot go out easily. It is better to close the city gate tightly to dampen their spirit, and let their parents and wives board the tower to greet them back, so that we can win without a fight."

Murong Yanchao said: "Hou Yi is already old and will only come up with cowardly tactics." Liu Chengyou then sent Hou Yi, Yan Jinqing, Wu Qianyu, and former Baoda Jiedushi Zhang Yanchao to lead the imperial army to Chanzhou.

On this day, Guo Wei had arrived in Chanzhou, and Li Hongyi welcomed Guo Wei. Wang Yin cried bitterly when he greeted him, and led his troops to follow Guo Wei across the Yellow River. Liu Chengyou sent the palace servant Yu Tuo to secretly monitor Guo Wei, and Guo Wei captured him and handed over the report

He put the written form in Yuu Tuo's collar and asked him to go back and tell Liu Chengyou: "I got the edict yesterday and stretched my neck to wait for death. Guo Chongwei and others couldn't bear to kill me, saying that this was all because of the greed of power and insatiability around your majesty.

People came in and slandered me, so they forced me to go south and go to the palace to plead guilty. I couldn't ask for death, and I had no power to control them. I must reach the palace within a few days. If your majesty thinks that I am guilty, how dare you escape

Punishment! If there are indeed scoundrels, I hope your majesty can catch them and hand them over to the army to please their hearts. How dare I not appease the Xiaoyu tribes and retreat back to Yedu!"
