The Privy Councilor Guo Wei entered the tent and whispered a few words to Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan immediately ordered Guo Wei and Wang Zhang to take down Du Chongwei's subordinates and all of them were killed. He also confiscated all of Du Chongwei's property and the family property of his subordinates and distributed them to the soldiers. Seeing that the family property was taken away, Du Chongwei felt extremely heartbroken and had no choice but to shed tears with his wife.

After Liu Zhiyuan lived in Ye County for several days, he ordered his return to the capital. He left Gao Xingzhou as the Yedu and served as the governor of Tianxiong Army. Because Murong Yanchao was in Chanzhou, Gao Xingzhou strongly refused. Liu Zhiyuan said to Su Fengji: "It must be because Murong Yanchao is, I should order him to move far away to Taining Army. You can tell Xingzhou to me." Su Fengji obeyed the order and transferred Gao Xingzhou. Only then did Gao Xingzhou accept the appointment to stay in Ye County.

Liu Zhiyuan also appointed Gao Xingzhou as the King of Linqing, and ordered Du Chongwei to go back to the capital. After Liu Zhiyuan returned to the capital, he appointed Du Chongwei as the Taifu and the Secretariat, Duke of Chu. Every time Du Chongwei entered and left, people on the way often threw broken bricks and tiles at him and insulted him loudly. Fortunately, he was very thick-skinned and could not bear it, but his majesty had been wiped out.

Liu Zhiyuan was originally from the Shatuo tribe. Because of his surname Liu, he changed the country's name to Han, and regarded Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty as his distant ancestor. He respected Han Gao as Taizu, Emperor Guangwu as Shizu, and established temples for sacrifices. Liu Zhiyuan's Emperor Gaozu Liu Tuan was respected as Wenzu, his mom Li was respected as Empress Mingzhen, his great-grandfather Liu Ang was respected as Dezu, his mom Yang was respected as Empress Gonghui, his grandfather Liu Ye was respected as Emperor Yizu, his mom Li was respected as Empress Zhaomu, his father Li was respected as Emperor Xianzu, and his mother An was Empress Zhangyi, and he established four temples, which were ranked alongside Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and were called six temples.

After Liu Zhiyuan pacified Ye County, he went to the temple to pay homage to his ancestors. All the music and dances were held together, and the harmony was really loud. Unexpectedly, the joy was so sad that the prince Liu Chengxun, the Yin of Kaifeng, caught a cold since he participated in the sacrifice, which was getting worse day by day. Because Liu Zhiyuan was filial, friendly, loyal, kind, and well-versed in government affairs, he paid special attention to the care and treated him in many ways. Unfortunately, life and death were destined to die leisurely, and he was only twenty-six years old.

Liu Zhiyuan was mourning in Taiping Palace, and was deeply saddened, crying bitterly, and almost fainted. After the strong persuasion of his close friends, Liu Zhiyuan reluctantly held back his tears, inspected the coffin himself, and posthumously named Liu Chengxun as King of Wei, and sent him to Taiyuan for burial. Since then, Liu Zhiyuan has often looked sad and rarely smiles.

On the New Year's Day of the following year, Liu Zhiyuan did not accept congratulations because of his poor health, but just stayed in the palace to recuperate. Four days passed in a blink of an eye. Liu Zhiyuan was slightly sick and left the palace to see the court. He changed the year name of the 13th year of Tianfu to the first year of Qianyou, and was amnesty for the world. A few days later, Liu Zhiyuan changed his name to Jing, and appointed Feng Dao as Duke of Qi, and also served as the Grand Tutor.

At this moment, the Ministry of War submitted a memorial saying that the Fengxiang Jiedushi Hou Yi and the Jinchang Jiedushi Zhao Kuangzan had betrayed the court and surrendered to Shu. They were lying in Guanzhong, and their momentum became increasingly powerful. They asked the court to send generals to fight. Liu Zhiyuan received the reward and ordered the Right Guard General Wang Jingchong and General Qi Zangzhen to mobilize thousands of imprisoned troops to attack Guanxi.

Besides, after the Shu lord Meng Chang succeeded to the throne, he quickly removed the strong ministers Li Renhan and Zhang Ye, and the country was peaceful and there was nothing happening for ten years. After the Liao lord destroyed Jin, the Xiongwu Jiedu governor He Chongjian Qin, Cheng, and surrendered to Shu. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Meng Chang wanted to annex Guanzhong. He immediately sent Shannanxi to the west.

The tent of the Daojie Duke Sun Hanshao attacked Xiafengzhou.

Li Shu, the governor of Jinchang, was in Zhao Yanshou's palace for many years. Zhao Yanshou sent him to assist Zhao Kuangzan. Zhao Kuangzan was about to enter Shu. Li Shu advised: "Is it his own way to enter the Liao Kingdom? Now the Han family has gained a new world and should be committed to surrendering Huaiyuan. If they confess their guilt and return to the court, they will definitely be able to maintain their wealth.

Going to Later Shu is not a perfect solution. 'The water in the ox and horse's hoof prints cannot tolerate carp that grows from foot long', you will definitely regret it." Zhao Kuangzan sent Li Shu to the court to submit a surrender letter to the court. Before Wang Jingchong and others sent troops, Li Shu arrived. Liu Zhiyuan asked Li Shu and said, "Why did Zhao Kuangzan submit to Shu?" Li Shu replied, "Zhao Kuangzan believed that because he had received the official position of the Hu barbarians and his father was trapped in the Hu barbarians' court, he was afraid that Your Majesty would not investigate in detail, so he relied on Shu to seek resignation and avoid killing. I thought that the country should be able to take in comfort, so I sent me to pray for mercy."

Liu Zhiyuan said loudly: "Zhao Kuangzan and his son are our own people, but unfortunately they are trapped in the barbarians. Now that Zhao Yanshou has just fallen into the prison of the barbarians, how can I bear to harm Zhao Kuangzan again!" Liu Zhiyuan immediately let him enter the court.

Li Shu thanked him and left, and Hou Yi also asked to go to the Holy Birthday of February 4th to congratulate Liu Zhiyuan on his birthday. At that time, Wang Jingchong and others were about to set off, so Liu Zhiyuan summoned them in the bedroom and said, "Zhao Kuangzan, Hou Yi's heart is unknown. After your soldiers arrive, if they have entered the court, they will no longer ask. If they are still waiting and watching, they should do it randomly."

Wang Jingchong followed the order and set off today to Chang'an. Zhao Kuangzan was afraid that the Shu soldiers would suddenly arrive, so he left Chang'an and headed straight for Bianliang without waiting for Li Shu to return. On the way, he met Li Shu and learned Liu Zhiyuan's words, so he moved forward more with confidence. Then Zhao Kuangzan met Wang Jingchong again. After talking, Wang Jingchong also asked him to go over and led his troops to Chang'an.

When Wang Jingchong and others came to Chang'an, they heard that the Later Shu army had entered Qinchuan. Because he had few soldiers, he used his own troops and more than a thousand fang soldiers from Zhao Kuangzan to resist the enemy. Wang Jingchong was afraid that Zhao Kuangzan's fang soldiers would escape, so he wanted to tattoo their faces, revealing a little bit of wind. Zhao Siwan, the military academy of the fang soldiers, first asked to tattoo his subordinates on his face, and Wang Jingchong was very happy. Qi Zangzhen whispered: "Zhao Siwan is fierce and violent and difficult to subdue, so it is better to kill him."

Wang Jingchong shook his head and said, "How can I convince the public if I kill someone without guilt?" So he went to supervise the troops and stop the Shu army by himself. At this time, the general Zhang Tinggui of Shu was leaving from Ziwu Valley and found that Zhao Kuangzan had entered the court, so he could lead them back north. Unexpectedly, Wang Jingchong suddenly arrived and was almost caught off guard. He was in a hurry to attack the enemy and was rushed into the formation by Wang Jingchong's troops.

The Shu army could not resist, so they had no choice but to fight and run back more than ten miles away before escaping the pursuit. Thousands of soldiers under their command had been injured and killed, so they had to meet in despair. Hou Yi heard that Wang Jingchong was victorious and Zhang Tinggui was defeated, so he naturally sent sails to resist Shu.

The general of Shu Zhang Qianzhao led his troops to Baoji. After learning about Hou Yi's situation, he discussed with the generals. Some people advocated continuing to march, and some suggested retreating immediately, which made Zhang Qianzhao unable to resolve, so he had to hold his troops temporarily. Suddenly, he heard that a Han general Wang Jingchong summoned the soldiers of Fengxiang, Long, Bing, Jing, Fu and Fang.

, all came forward. The generals of the Later Shu were so scared that they were out of their wits and hurriedly led their troops to flee at night.

When Wang Jingchong chased to Sanguan, the Shu soldiers had already rushed into Guanzhong, and only 400 people were left in the rear team, and they were captured by Wang Jingchong in one go. Jingchong won twice, and the court ordered Wang Jingchong to be the inspector of Fengxiang, and led his troops to Fengxiang on the same day. Hou Yi opened the door to welcome him and talked about the matter with Wang Jingchong, and he was stammering. Wang Jingchong was suspicious and sent his troops to guard the gates and waited for Hou Yi to stop.

At this moment, the generals suddenly received an order from the court, saying that the emperor had ascended to heaven, and the emperor's second son Liu Chengyou ascended the throne. Everyone couldn't help but feel moved and hesitated.

It turned out that Liu Zhiyuan became sad and could not recover after his eldest son Chengxun died. Fortunately, he had ginseng and Poria cocos tonics, which he took every day, which lasted for one or two more months. In the first month of the first year of Qianyou, Liu Zhiyuan's illness worsened and the medicine stone was ineffective. So Liu Zhiyuan summoned Prime Minister Su Fengji, Privy Councilor Yang Bin, and Guo Wei accepted Gu's orders. There was also Shi Hongzhao, the commander of the capital, who ordered him to conquer Songzhou, but was ordered to be in Duyao, so he was also summoned.

The four ministers entered the bedroom together and saw that Liu Zhiyuan's illness worsened, and they all looked worried. Liu Zhiyuan said, "There will always be death in life. What's the fear of death? But Chengxun is dead, Chengyou should be established. I am worried that he is too young and weak, and everything in his life will have to be entrusted to you!" The four of them said in unison: "Dare not to serve!" Liu Zhiyuan sighed again and said, "There is no major danger in the state affairs in front of him, but we must be guarded against Du Chongwei!" Speaking of the word "Wei", there seemed to be something in his throat and he could not speak out. The four of them hurriedly retreated, asking the concubines, princes and others to see him off.

Soon, a mourning sound came out, and Su Fengji went in and said, "Well, cry! Let's cry! The emperor has a key sentence, and it must be done immediately before the funeral can be held." The concubines and others did not know the reason, but Su Fengji was the prime minister and the first minister among the ministers in charge of their lives, so he expected that he would have something important. Everyone stopped crying and asked him to go out to do things. Su Fengji withdrew and saw Yang Bin, Guo Wei and others, had already drafted an edict.

Su Fengji immediately ordered the guards to lead the imperial guards to take Du Chongwei and Du Chongwei's sons Hongzhang, Honglian, Hongqi, Chongwei. Everyone was sitting safely in private, without any warning. When the imperial guards entered the door, they received the imperial guards in a hurry. As soon as they knelt, the belt had been stripped away by the imperial guards.

Then he heard the guard say, "Du Chongwei still has a bad intention, but he has not been ruthless, and he has been beheaded and has been hard to tame. Yesterday, I was a little uneasy and stopped the court for several days. However, Chongwei's father and son secretly spoke fiercely, complained and slandered the great court, and incited the younger generation. Now there are reports that he is ready to test the traitor. Since he has been deeply kind, he must make the most of his laws. Du Chongwei's father and son were ordered to be executed. All princesses of the Jin Dynasty and their relatives were as usual, and they are still provided with them. Special instructions."

After hearing this, Du Chongwei's soul flew out of the sky, and was so anxious that he cried and argued. The guards were merciless and ordered the imperial guards to tie Du Chongwei up, and took down his three sons together and led them out together. Even his wife, Princess Song, did not let them say goodbye.

When they rushed to the city, a prison officer was waiting, commanding the executioners on both sides to come to Du Chongwei and his son, pulling out a shining sword and slashing them. Only three or four sounds were heard, and Du Chongwei and his son's heads had fallen to the ground. Their bodies were placed on the thoroughfare, and people were watching, arousing a sense of righteous indignation, some criticized and some kicked, and even the military officials could not stop them. In an instant, they became flesh mud and could not be identified.
