Shi Hu then made Shi Shi the crown prince and granted Liu Family the title of empress. [6] In this way, Shi Zun lost the chance to be made prince.
In the first month of the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Hu became emperor, and Shi Zun was appointed King of Pengcheng. [7]

To accept an imperial edict to assist in administration

On the ninth day of April in the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Hu became seriously ill, and Shi Zun was the general to guard Close Right , Shi Bin as Prime Minister Record the Book Zhang Jackal was the general of Zhenwei, the leading general, and the minister of the official department, and jointly accepted the imperial edict to assist the government. [8-9]
The Liu family is afraid that Shi Bin's assistant will murder Shi Shi, and they murder Shi Bin with Zhang Jackal. Shi Bin is right now Xiangguo They sent someone to cheat Shi Bin, saying, "The Lord's disease has gradually improved. If Wang wants to hunt, he can stay outside for a while. The Liu family pretended to call Shi Hu's order, saying that Shi Bin had no loyalty and filial piety, and removed him from his official position. He returned the king to the first place and sent Zhang Jackal's younger brother Zhang Xiong lead Longteng Five hundred men guarded him. On April 19, Shi Zuncong Youzhou come Yecheng , he was ordered to accept his appointment in the imperial court, and was equipped with 30000 soldiers in the palace, so he was asked to go back, and Shi Zun left crying bitterly. On the same day, Shi Hu's condition slightly improved. When asked whether Shi Zun had arrived, the people around replied that they had been away for a long time. Shi Hu said that he was really sorry not to see him. [10-11]
Shi Hu came to the west pavilion of Taiwu Hall, and more than 200 people, including Long Teng and Zhonglang, who served as palace guards, marched forward to meet him. When Shi Hu asked them what they wanted, the guards replied that the Holy Sacrament of His Majesty was not safe and that Shi Bin, the king of Yan, should be allowed to enter the palace to take charge of the guards and take charge of the troops. Some people also asked Shi Bin to be the Crown Prince. Shi Hu did not know that Shi Bin had been deposed. He scolded him and said, "Is the King of Yan not in the palace? Call him here!" The officials around said that the King of Yan was ill due to wine and could not enter the palace. Shi Hu said, "Send someone to use it quickly Chariot Welcome him to the palace, and I will deliver the seal ribbon to him. " Finally, no one went to meet Shi Bin. Soon the stone tiger became dizzy and entered the inner room. Zhang Jackal instructs his younger brother Zhang Xiong and others to kill Shi Bin by falsely claiming Shi Hu's order. [12] On April 22, the Liu Clan, also known as Shi Hu, appointed Zhang Jackal Taibao , Dudu oversees all armies at home and abroad, and records books, such as the Western Han Dynasty Huo Guang The assistant politics story. [13-14]
On April 23 of the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Hu died, and the crown prince Shi Shi ascended the throne and honored Liu as the empress dowager. The Liu family exercised the power of the emperor and appointed Zhang Jackal as prime minister. Zhang Jackal refused to accept his resignation and asked to appoint Shi Zun and Shijian, the king of Yiyang, as the left and right prime ministers to appease them. The Liu family followed his advice. [15-16]

Usurp the throne

Shi Zunxing to Hanoi When he learned that his father Shi Hu had died, he stationed troops in Hanoi. Yao Yizhong Fu Hong And the general of the conquest Ran Min , General Wu Wei Wang Luan People are crusading Liangdu Later on the way home, I met Shi Zun in Licheng. They persuaded Shi Zun together, "Your highness is old and has both ability and political integrity. The former emperor also intended your highness to be his successor. It was because he was confused in his later years that he was deceived by Zhang Jackal. Now that the female leader is in power, the treacherous minister is in charge of the government. The two sides are at loggerheads in Shangbai. The guard force of the capital is empty. If your highness denounces Zhang Jackal's crimes and marches against him with drums, who will not open the city gate and turn around his weapons to meet your highness? " Shi Zun listened to their advice, so he sent troops from Licheng and headed straight Yecheng (Now Linzhang, Hebei). Luozhou Governor Liu Guo He led the troops from Luoyang to meet him. When the crusading call came to Yecheng, Zhang Jackal was very afraid and hurriedly ordered the troops surrounding Shangbai to return. [17-18]
On May 11 of the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Zun's troops were stationed in Dangyin, with 90000 soldiers and Ran Min as the vanguard. Zhang Jackal planned to go out to intercept, but the respected old man and the Jie soldiers in Ye City said: "The King of Pengcheng came to mourn, we should go out of the city to meet him, and we can no longer defend the city for Zhang Jackal!" So they ran over the city wall. Although Zhang Jackal stopped by killing his head, it did not work. Even Zhang Li led two thousand Longteng guards to break through the pass and prepare to meet Shi Zun. The Liu family was very frightened and summoned Zhang Jackal to the palace. Pei cried bitterly to him and said, "The coffin of the former emperor has not been buried yet, and the trouble has come to this! Now the prince is young and can only rely on you, General. What are you going to do, General? I want to add a prominent position to Shi Zun, so that can you pacify him?" Zhang Jackal was also very frightened at this time, I don't know how to answer, but I just said yes. So the Liu family issued an imperial edict, appointing Shi Zun as prime minister, leading Dasima, Dadu, overseeing all armies at home and abroad, recording and writing affairs, and giving him support Yellow tomahawk , Plus Jiuxi And other special rights and courtesies [19] Ten more counties were added as his food towns. [20]
On May 14 of the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Zun arrived at Anyang Pavilion. Zhang Jackal was very afraid and came out to meet him. Shi Zun ordered him to be arrested. On May 15, Shi Zun, wearing armor and showing off his force, entered Yecheng from Fengyang Gate, climbed into the front hall of Taiwu, beat his chest and stamped his feet to vent his sorrow, and then retreated to the East Pavilion. He killed Zhang Jackal and his three clans in the market of Pingle. Shi Zun falsely said that Liu's order said: "The prince was young, and the reason why he was appointed as the prince was due to the personal friendship of the former emperor. However, the great cause of the country was very important, and he could not bear it. Shi Zun should be the successor." Shi Zun repeatedly pretended to resign, and the officials sincerely persuaded him, so Shi Zun was the emperor in the front hall of the Taiwu, and granted amnesty to prisoners under the death penalty, And the encirclement of Shangbai was lifted. On May 16, Shi Shi was granted the title of King Qiao. Ten thousand households lived in the city. He did not treat him as a courtier, and the Liu family was deposed as a concubine. After a while, they were all killed. [21-22]
At this time, Li Nong came to surrender and apologize, and Shi Zun asked his officials to return to their original positions. Shi Zunzhen's mother, the Zheng family, was the empress dowager, his concubine, the Zhang family, was the empress, and Shi Yan, the son of Shi Bin, the king of Yan, was the crown prince. King Yiyang Shi Jian Serve as a servant and a Taifu; King Pei Shichong Taibao; Leping Wang Stony bract For Dasima; Ruyin King Stone kun As a general; Ran Min, the Duke of Wuxing, is the governor of all military forces and auxiliary generals at home and abroad [23] Record and promote books to assist the government. [24]

domestic trouble and foreign invasion

At that time, Shi Chong, King Pei, was guarding Ji City. When he heard that Shi Zun had killed Shi Shi and made himself emperor, he said to his assistant colleagues: "Shi Shi inherited the will of the former emperor, and Shi Zun arbitrarily deposed and killed him. There is no greater crime than this! I ordered strict internal and external security, and I will go out to fight against him personally!" So Shi Chong left Shu Jian, the general of Ningbei, to guard Youzhou, led 50000 soldiers to the south of Jicheng, and passed the proclamation of the crusade against Shi Zun to Yan and Zhao. Everywhere Shichong went, people gathered. By the time they reached Changshan, there were more than 100000 soldiers. When he was stationed in Yuanxiang, Shi Chong saw Shi Zun's edict of amnesty and said to the generals, "Shi Shi and Shi Zun are my brothers. The dead can no longer revive. Why should they kill each other again? I want to return." Shi Chong's generals Chen Siam But he said, "The king of Pengcheng, Shi Zun, killed the king to take the throne and made himself emperor, which is a heinous crime! Although you want to wave your flag back to the north, I will continue to move south until the capital is pacified, the king of Pengcheng is captured, and then I will greet you again." Hearing this, Shi Chong changed his mind and continued to move forward. Shi Zun Rush Sect Wang Shou Send a letter to persuade Shi Chong, but Shi Chong doesn't listen. Shi Shizun sent Ran Min and Li Nong to lead 100000 elite soldiers to fight against Shi Chong. The two sides fought in Pingji, and Shi Chong's army was defeated. Ran Min and others were in Yuanshi County Capture Shi Chong. Shi Zun gave Shi Chong to death and buried more than 30000 of his soldiers alive. [25-26]
Ran Min said to Shi Zun:“ Fu Hong He is an outstanding talent. Now let him guard Guanzhong, I'm afraid that the land of Qinzhou and Yongzhou will no longer belong to the State of Zhao. Although it was the order of the late emperor to let Fuhong Zhen guard Guanzhong, now that his majesty ascends the throne, it is natural to change his strategy. " Shi Zun listened to Ran Min's advice and dismissed Fuhong from his position as governor. Other positions were treated as before. Fuhong was angry about this, and when he returned to Fangtou, he sent an envoy to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. [27]
Shi Zun's Yangzhou governor Wang Jia surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with Huainan. General of Western Zhonglang in Eastern Jin Dynasty Chen Kui Enter and occupy Shouchun. Northern Expedition General Chu Wei Lead the army to attack Shi Zun, arrive Xiapi Shi Zun appointed Li Nong as the commander of the Southern Expedition and led twenty thousand cavalry to resist. Chu Wei could not advance and retreated to Guangling. Chen Kui was afraid when he heard that, he immediately burned the property accumulated by Shouchun, destroyed the city and evacuated. [28]
At that time, Leping Wang Shibao guarded Chang'an and planned to lead the soldiers in the Central Shaanxi Plain to attack Yecheng. Zuo Chang Shi Shiguang, Sima Caoyao and others tried to persuade him. Shibao was furious and killed more than 100 people, including Shi Guang. Shi Bao was greedy by nature but had no strategy. All the elites in Yongzhou knew that he could accomplish nothing, so they sent people together to report Shi Bao's intention to attack Ye City to the governor of Liangzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Sima Xun Sima Xun led the troops to attack Shi Bao. [29] Sima Xun led his troops out of Luogu to conquer Zhao's Great Wall garrison Hanging hook Set up camp, more than 200 li away from Chang'an. He sent Liu Huan to attack Chang'an, killed Liu Xiuli, the imperial guard of Jingzhao, and conquered Tonnerre Most of the heroes in Sanfu area killed officials such as prefectures and county magistrates in response to Sima Xun. At this time, Sima Xun had more than 30 barracks and 50000 soldiers. Shi Bao gave up his plan to attack Ye City and sent his generals Ma Qiu Yao Guo The commander soldiers resisted Sima Xun. Shi Zun sent a cavalry general, Wang Lang, to lead twenty thousand elite cavalry to seize Shi Bao and send him to Yecheng in the name of crusading Sima Xun. Sima Xun's men were not strong enough at this time. He was afraid of Wang Lang's elite cavalry and did not dare to move on. In October, Sima Xun gave up the hook and conquered Wancheng , kill Zhao Nanyang and return to Liangzhou. [30-31]

The coup was killed

At the beginning, when Shi Zun started his army in Licheng, he said to Ran Min, "Work hard! After success, let you be the crown prince." Later, Shi Zun appointed Shi Yan as the crown prince. Ran Min was disappointed. He thought he had made great contributions for a while and tried to monopolize the government, but Shi Zun refused to listen to him. Ran Min has always been brave and good at fighting, and has made many achievements in the war. He is feared by the Siyi people and veteran generals in the Central Plains. Now that he has become the governor, taking charge of the internal and external military power, he comforts his soldiers and asks them all to serve as officers and generals in the palace and be knights and marquises outside the pass. Shi Zun did not doubt what Ran Min had done. Instead, he wrote down the names of these people, commented on good and evil, and belittled them. So all the soldiers resented and angry. Meng Zhun, General of the Left Guard Wang Luan To persuade Shi Zun to gradually deprive Ran Min of his military power, Ran Min became more dissatisfied. Meng Zhun and others all persuaded Shi Zun to kill Ran Min. [32-33]
In November of the fifth year of Yonghe (349), Shi Zunzhao Shi Jian He Leping Wang Stony bract , Ruyin King Stone kun , Huainan Wang Shizhao and others entered the palace and came to the empress dowager Zheng for discussion. Shi Zun said, "The signs of Ran Min's disloyalty to the monarch have gradually become obvious. Now I want to kill him, how about that?" Shi Jian and others all said, "It should be so!" Zheng Shi said, "If there was no Ran Min when we started the war in Licheng, how could we be today? Ran Min is a bit proud of his merits and should be lenient to him. How could he kill him in a hurry?" At this time, Shi Jian used an excuse to go out, Send eunuchs Yang Huan Go quickly to tell Ran Min the news. After hearing the news, Ran Min coerced Li Nong and right guard general Wang Ji to plot to depose Shi Zun, and sent generals Su Yan and Zhou Cheng to lead 3000 armored soldiers to capture Shi Zun at Ruyi Temple in Nantai. When the soldiers came to Shi Zun's residence, Shi Zunzheng played chess with the woman. Shi Zun asked Zhou Cheng: "Who is the rebel?" Zhou Cheng said: "Shijian, the King of Yiyang, should be the successor." Shi Zun said: "I am still like this, and how long can Shijian last!" So Zhou Cheng and others killed Shi Zun in the Kunhua Palace, and at the same time killed Empress Dowager Zheng, Empress Zhang, Prince Shi Yan, Meng Zhun, Wang Luan and Shangguanglu Zhang Fei. Shi Zun reigned for 183 days. [34-35]
