Chapter 162 Chapter 161 Empress Chen Shubao

Chen Shubao, character Yuanxiu, small character Huang Nu, the eldest son of Emperor Chen Xuan.Born in Jiangling in November of the second year of Chengsheng (553 A.D.).In the second year, Jiangling fell, and his father Chen Xu was imprisoned in Guanyou, leaving Shubao in Rangcheng.In the third year of Tianjia (562 A.D.), Chen Zhou reconciled, and Shubao was taken back to Jiankang by Maoxi, the office of Zhongji, and was established as the son of Prince Ancheng. He was only 9 years old at the time.In the first year of Yuankang (566 A.D.), Shubao was granted the title of General Ningyuan, and he was set up as Zuo Shi.In the second year of Guangda (568 A.D.), he was also granted the title of concubine of the prince, and soon moved to the position of servant.In the first month of the first year of Taijian (569 A.D.), his father Chen Xu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and was established as the crown prince.

In the first month of spring in the fourteenth year of Taijian (582 A.D.), Emperor Chen Xuan died of illness. As the crown prince, Chen Shubao should have inherited the throne immediately, but a big change happened between the brothers.It turned out that Emperor Chen Xuan had a total of 42 sons. Among them, Chen Shuling, the second son, "has little opportunity to argue, has a reputation for fame, and has nothing to push back." He is very different from ordinary people.In the sixth year of Taijian (569 A.D.), Shuling was granted the title of King of Shixing County, envoy Chijie, and the military governors of Jiang, Ying, and Jinzhou. Don't predict."Although Chen Shuling has a genius, he is proud of his talent.During his tenure in the local area, his temperament was harsh, and there was no limit to his enlistment, so that the towns and cities in various states were terrified when they heard that he was coming.Shuling was full of energy, often sleepless at night, burning candles all day long, specially summoned his assistants to sit down, talked about trivial matters of the people, and played all kinds of jokes.Good food, always prepare some delicacies, and eat and chew day and night.He also ignores matters in his politics, and those who commit the crime of flogging are also imprisoned without trial for several years.Because of his cruelty, no one in the prefecture or county dared to report his bad deeds to the imperial court, so Emperor Xuan didn't know about it. Instead, in the ninth year of Taijian (577 A.D.), he moved Shuling to be the governor of Yangzhou. The military forces of the four prefectures of Henan.In the following year, he entered the East Mansion again.Shu Ling used to hold his own ax and catty in the inner house, playing various games like a monkey bathing; he also liked to swim among the tombs and tombs, and when he encountered the tomb of a famous person, he immediately ordered him to dig it from left to right, and took the ancient stone records and his bones and bones. It is a plaything, hidden in the treasury; the young folk women in the mansion, who are slightly beautiful, are forcibly taken as wives and concubines.

Shu Ling's uncle brother Bo Gu is the fifth son of Chen Shizu. He is short in stature, but good at playing jokes, and is loved by Chen Xuanzong.Bogu had a very close relationship with Prince Shubao, and they would see each other every day.Hou Bogu thought that Shuling could make a difference, so he flattered Shuling and became a pair of troubled brothers.Although Shuling has evil deeds, he also pretends to be. Every time he enters the court, he always holds a scroll in the car and reads aloud aloud with composure.In the eleventh year of Taijian (579 A.D.), his biological mother Peng died of illness, and Shuling requested to be buried in Meiling.There is the tomb of Jin Taifu Xie An, and Shu Ling dug out Xie An's coffin and buried his mother in the original cave.He also pretended to be mourning, claiming to transcribe the "Nirvana Sutra" by pricking blood, which was highly recommended by his mother, but he secretly asked people to send him delicious food every day, so he could eat whatever he wanted.He also privately summoned his left and right wives and daughters, and forcibly raped them.The matter was known to Emperor Xuan, but Emperor Xuan only removed the prime minister's post in the censor, and did not bring Shuling to justice, but only gave it up.

When Emperor Chen Xuan was seriously ill, Prince Chen Shubao, Shixing Wang Shuling, and Changsha Wang Shujian went in to serve the sick.Seeing that Emperor Xuan was dying of illness, Shu Ling had the idea of ​​killing the prince and seizing the throne.Seeing that only the pharmacist in the palace had a medicine knife, Shuling went over to pick it up as if nothing had happened, and said to the pharmacist, "This knife is too blunt, it should be sharpened before it can be used. "The pharmacist didn't know what it meant, so he had to be obedient.Two days later, Emperor Chen Xuan died of illness, and the palace was very busy with preparations for the funeral.Shu Ling hastily ordered Zuo Zuo to go outside the palace to fetch swords, but Zuo Zuo didn't know what was going on, so he took the wooden sword of court clothes and handed it to Shu Ling.Shuling was furious, and knocked down the man holding the wooden sword with a palm of his hand.At this time Shujian was beside him, seeing this scene, he became suspicious, so he kept paying attention to Shuling to see what he was doing.

The next day, when Emperor Chen Xuan made a small funeral, Chen Shubao fell on the ground and wailed bitterly. Chen Shuling immediately found a medicine knife, cut it from behind Chen Shubao, and hit his neck.Shubao's biological mother, Empress Liu, was terrified and rushed to rescue Shubao, but was also hacked several times by Shuling.Seeing this, Wu Shi, Shubao's wet nurse, rushed behind Shuling and hugged Shuling's right elbow.Shu Ling was still holding onto Shu Bao's clothes tightly, but Shu Bao struggled to take them off.Changsha King Chen Shujian heard the news, rushed forward, grabbed Shuling's throat with one hand, snatched the medicine knife with the other, led him to a pillar of the palace, and tied him with his sleeves.At this time, Chen Shubao had been helped into the inner hall by the wet nurse Wu Shi to hide. Shujian was looking for Shubao and asked how to deal with Shuling.Seeing that Shujian was leaving, Shuling broke free from the shackles, rushed out of Yunlong Gate, drove back to Dongfu at high speed, ordered the left and right to intercept Qingxi Road, pardoned the prisoners in Dongcheng, and distributed gold and silk rewards to serve as soldiers to resist the imperial guards .He also sent people to Xinlin to summon his troops. He also dressed neatly and wore a white cloth cap. He went up to the Ximen Tower to recruit the people and the kings and generals. No one responded. Only Xin'an Wang Chen Bogu rode alone to assist Shuling in command. Soldiers.

At that time, all the generals of the Chen Dynasty led their troops to defend along the river, and the military equipment in Taicheng was very empty.When Chen Shujian saw that Chen Shuling had escaped, he hurriedly informed Empress Liu, and asked Sima Shen, the crown prince, to summon the right guard general Xiao Mohe in the name of the crown prince.Maha entered the palace and received orders, and immediately led hundreds of people on foot to attack the East Mansion and stationed at the west gate of the city.Shuling immediately sent his relatives Dai Wen and Tan Qilin to Xiao Mahe's place to lobby, and Mahe escorted them to Taicheng.Chen Shubao immediately ordered the beheading, and sent it to Dongfu city for public display. The city was terrified.Knowing that the matter could not be accomplished, Shu Ling rushed into the inner mansion, sank his beloved concubine Zhang and seven concubines into the well, and led hundreds of people on foot to cross the river overnight with Bogu, intending to go to Xinlin by boat to the Sui Dynasty.Go to Baiyang Road, and the imperial guards from the capital arrive behind.When Bogu saw the pursuers approaching, he immediately hid in an alley. Shu Ling personally chased him back with his horse and sword drawn, planning to fight the pursuers to the death, but his subordinates had already abandoned their armor and dispersed.Chen Zhishen of the Moha tribe shot Shuling off his horse, and Chen Zhonghua stepped forward to behead him.Bogu was also killed by the rebels.The two poems were handed down in the palace, and Chen Shubao chose a day to ascend the throne, issued an edict of amnesty, and changed the Yuan to Zhide.He conferred meritorious service on Shu Jian as General Hussars, leading Yangzhou Governor; Xiao Mohe was a regular attendant of Cavalry, General of Chariots, named Duke of Suiyuan County, with 3,000 households in the town.The gold and silk gathered by Shuling in normal times are in the tens of thousands, all of which were given to Maha.

At the beginning of Chen Shubao's accession to the throne, due to the unhealed sword wound on his neck, he rested in Chengxiang Hall for treatment. All affairs were determined internally by Empress Liu and externally by Changsha King Chen Shujian.Because of Shu Jian's meritorious service in punishing Shu Ling, coupled with his power, he gradually became arrogant and indulged in the imperial court.Shubao couldn't help being jealous when he heard this, but because of his meritorious deeds and brothers' relatives, he forbeared the past.At this time, Kong Fan, Minister of the capital, and Shi Wenqing, a member of Zhongshushe, are both old people from the East Palace. They favor Shu Bao and hate Shu Jian. They tell Shu Jian about his mistakes every day.Shu Bao decided to seize the power of Shu Jian.Shiling Shujian took the title of General Hussars and used the ceremonies of the three divisions to become the governor of Jiangzhou.This happened in the spring of the first year of Chen Zhide (583 A.D.).In the autumn, Shujian had not been appointed for some reason. Chen Shubao was afraid that Shujian would rebel in Fangzhen, so he changed his younger brother Shuwen to be the governor of Jiangzhou. He summoned Shujian to comfort him face to face.Since Shujian lost Shubao's favor, he felt uneasy internally, so he hated flattery because of the leftist way, in order to seek blessings.He carved a puppet, put it on a Taoist costume, and set up a mechanism in it, which could kneel down and worship, so that he could pray for blessings under the sun and the moon.In the winter of that year, someone wrote to Shubao to report the incident. Shubao summoned Shujian and imprisoned him in Zhongshu Province, ordering his servant Xuanchi to question him.Shu Jian replied: "I really have no other intentions in my heart, but I have been close to each other before, so I just ask the gods to bless me and get close and flattering again. Since I have violated the constitution of heaven, I am guilty of death. But after my death, I will definitely see you." Shuling, I hope that Your Majesty will first proclaim the imperial edict and place the responsibility under Jiuquan, so that I will not be insulted by Shuling." Hearing this, Chen Shubao thought of Shujian's meritorious support, so he pardoned his crimes, dismissed him from office, and returned him to the throne No.

Chen Shubao has since dismissed Chen Shujian from the imperial court, and was transferred from Minister Jiang of the Shrine Department to Minister of the Ministry of Officials to participate in the court.But Mr. Jiang is a scholar of literature, drinking and composing poems every day, so all the secrets are in the hands of Sima Shen, the general of the right guard and the general secretary of Zhongshu.Sima Shen was resourceful and resourceful, and when he responded to important military and state affairs, he commanded and made decisions without any delays.But it is also unavoidable that he is quite a blessing because of his talent and power, and he is good at guessing his uncle's intentions. Anyone who disobeys himself will be slandered with slight words;Therefore, both inside and outside the court did not dare to go against its will.Only the servant Mao Xi relied on himself as the elder of the court and never followed Sima Shen.Soon, Mao Xi was relegated to Yongjia Internal History.

Since Chen Shujian, Mao Xi and other ministers were relegated one after another, the admonishers of the Chen Dynasty were all in vain, and no one spoke.Chen Shubao was able to act recklessly without any scruples, drinking and composing poems all day long, enjoying himself.Empress Shubao's name is Shen Wuhua, she is the daughter of Shen Junli, Marquis of Cai Zhenxian, the third minister of Yitong, and her mother is Princess Mu of Kuaiji, the daughter of Chen Gaozu.The princess died early, when the queen was still young, and mourned excessively, just like an adult.Emperor Xuan was greatly surprised when he heard of her filial piety, and in the second year of Taijian (571 A.D.), she was accepted as the crown prince.Empress Shen is not good at flattering, her father Shen Junli passed away, she asked to live in another hall, mourning day and night, which made Shubao very displeased, coupled with her quiet personality and frugal living, it was not in line with Shubao's wishes.So Shubao didn't accept Gong and Kong as his concubines, and put Empress Shen in the back of his mind.Concubine Gong brought a maid surnamed Zhang when she entered the palace. She was only 10 years old, petite and exquisite.Zhang Guifei's name is Zhang Lihua, she has seven-foot-long hair, her color is as black as lacquer, and the light can shine on things. Her face is like a peach blossom, her skin is as firm as fat, and her two autumn waters are full of affection, which is deeply favored by Shubao.Shubao also recruited beauties from the folk, including Wang and Li Ermei, Zhang and Xue Ershuyuan, Yuan Zhaoyi, He Jieyu and Jiang Xiurong.As a result, Chen Shubao indulged in debauchery and had no time to meddle in political affairs.All officials were invited by eunuchs Cai Tuo'er and Li Shandu. Chen Shubao leaned on the "hidden pouch" (the cushion used for backrest in ancient times) and held Concubine Zhang Guifei in his arms.What Li and Cai could not describe, that is, Concubine Zhang answered one by one, without missing anything. Therefore, Concubine Zhang was able to interfere in foreign affairs.Chen Shubao thinks that Concubine Zhang Gui is smart and capable, and it is up to her to respond to the imperial edict of reward and punishment.As a result, the noble concubine became even more arrogant, and any minister who did not follow her will be destroyed in front of Shubao.The ministers were afraid, and they all flattered and flattered Concubine Zhang, so that the power of Concubine Zhang spread to the sky, so that people in the world only knew that there was Concubine Zhang, but not Chen Shubao.

In addition to the concubines and maids, there are also a few courtiers who compete to flatter and flatter.Among them, Kong Fan, the official minister, and Kong Guipin became brothers and sisters. He knew Chen Shubao's evil deeds and mistakes, so whenever someone admonishes Shubao, he will be repelled with various crimes, and then he will turn it into a literary ornament, praise and praise, and explain all his mistakes. Being a virtue turned Chen Shubao's anger into joy.Therefore, Shubao treats Kong Fan favorably and generously, and obeys his words.There is also Shi Wenqing, a member of Zhongshushe, who is clever and memorized, and he is very organized in mental arithmetic and oral calculations, so he is also favored by Shubao.Wenqing also recommended Shen Keqing, Chen Huilang, Xu Zhe, Ji Huijing and others, and Shubao hired them all.Ke Qing is a member of Zhongshushe and also in charge of the Bureau of Gold and Silk. Because of Shubao's large construction projects and huge supply, the treasury is very empty. Ke Qing suggested that soldiers and literati should also pay customs and city taxes and increase the tax rate.When Shubao heard the words, he thought it was a good strategy, so he ordered Chen Huilang to be the order of Taishi, and Huijing to be the order of Shangshu and the history of Cangdu to take charge of the affairs.Chen and Ji were born as petty officials, and the audit books were accurate, but they didn't know the generalities.After such a year, the income has exceeded the usual dozens of times.Chen Shubao was overjoyed, and said that Shi Wenqing had the talent to know people, so he became more trusted and trusted him, and he appointed him for everything big and small.Kong Fan also claimed that his talents in civil and military affairs were beyond the reach of the court. He once said to Shu Bao: "All the generals outside the court start from the ranks, but they are no more than the strength of a man. Can they do it if they are far-sighted?" Chen Shubao was dubious and asked Yu Shiwen Qing, Wen Qing was afraid of Kong Fan's power, so he nodded in agreement, and Sima Shen also praised him from the sidelines, so Chen Shubao believed in Kong Fan without any doubt.Later, when a general made few mistakes, he seized his military power and handed it over to a civil servant.Among them, the leading general Ren Zhong, who had outstanding military exploits, was also taken away by Shu Bao and handed over to Kong Fan and others to take charge of it, and Ren Zhong was moved as Wu Xing's internal history.So the civil and military disintegrated, and the scholars and commoners were centrifugal.

In the spring of the third year of Zhide (585 A.D.), Zhang Dabao, governor of Fengzhou, rebelled against the state.Zhang Dabao is the son of Zhang Zhaoda, who was arrogant and lawless when he was serving in the state, and the common people complained. Chen Shubao ordered Li Yun, the imperial servant, to take his place.When Zhang Dabao heard that Li Yun was approaching, he sent people to intercept and kill him on the way. Then he rebelled and sent his general Yang Tong to attack Jian'an.Wu Huijue, the internal historian of Jian'an, resisted according to the county, but Yang Tong was tired and unable to attack.Not long after, Chen Jingxiang, the general of the imperial court, approached with his troops. The rebels were divorced, and Dabao fled into the mountains with Yang Tong.Soon he was captured by the chasing soldiers and sent to Jiankang, where he died of illness on the way. Chen Shubao has a prince, Chen Yin, who is intelligent and fond of literature. He is quite like his father, but he is also quite negligent.Yuan Xian, the Zhan Shi, remonstrated with the world and refused to listen.Empress Shen has no favors, and the crown prince often sends people into the provincial mother-in-law.When Shu Bao heard about it, he suspected that he was resentful and very unhappy.The two noble concubines Zhang and Kong slandered the empress and prince day and night, saying that their contacts were secret, and there might be different plans.Kong Fan and others also contributed to the flames, which made Shubao have the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince and setting up Zhang Guifei's concubine Shi'an Wang Chenshen. In May of the second year of Zhenming (588 A.D.), the prince Chen Yin was deposed as King Wu Xing, and Chen Shen, the king of Shi'an, the governor of Yangzhou, was made the prince.Even Empress Shen became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. Shubao was eager to abolish her and made Concubine Zhang Guifei the empress. In the thirteenth year of Taijian (581 A.D.), Zhou was replaced by Sui.Due to the lack of national strength in the Sui Dynasty, the policy of making peace with Chen was adopted, so although there were minor frictions on the border between Sui and Chen, they were basically reconciled.After the death of Emperor Chen Xuan, the Sui Dynasty sent envoys to hang him. In the national book, he claimed his name and had the words "Dunshou".Chen Shubao thought it was due to the timidity of the Sui Dynasty, so he couldn't help being proud of it, and the words in his answers were not inferior.Yang Jian, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was displeased with the book and showed it to his courtiers.The ministers offered strategies to conquer Chen, but the matter of conquering Chen was temporarily shelved due to the construction of a new capital and the conquest of Turks. In the spring of the second year of Zhenming (588 A.D.), Chen Shubao sent Yuan Ya, a regular servant on Sanqi, and others to go to the Sui Dynasty, and on the other hand, ordered Zhou Luomian, a regular servant on Sanqi, to lead his troops out of Tunxiakou and invade Suixia Prefecture.Yang Jiangang, the ruler of the Sui Dynasty, sent Cheng Shangxian, a regular servant of scattered riders, to communicate with Chen. When Chen Shubao heard that the Sui Dynasty was about to attack the south of the Yangtze River, he couldn't help panicking, so he hurriedly sent Xu Shanxin, a regular servant on horseback, to the Sui Dynasty to repair peace.Yang Jian, the ruler of the Sui Dynasty, ignored it, and sent an envoy to send Chen Xi a letter, counting Shubao's 20 crimes. In November of this year, Yang Su led an army from the Three Gorges to Liutou Beach. General Chen Cheng Xin guarded Langwei Beach. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by him at night and the whole army was wiped out. Only Chen Xin escaped alone.When Langwei beach fell, the Sui army went westward by the flow, and the garrison along the river made reports one after another, but they were detained by Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, keeping Chen Shubao from hearing about it.At this time, Chen Shubao was busy with the Yuanhui next year, calling Nanping Wang Chen Yi and Yongjia Wang Chen Yan into Jiankang, and ordered all ships along the river to enter the capital from the two kings, so that there was not a single warship in the river. Chen Shubao didn't know that the military situation was urgent at this time, but he thought that Chen Shuwen, the governor of Xiangzhou Jinxi, had been in the upper class for a long time, and he was very harmonious, so he wanted to use Shi Wenqing to lead 2000 elite troops to replace him.Shi Wenqing was very happy, but he was afraid that someone would speak ill of Chen Shubao after he left the court, so he asked Shubao to use Shen Keqing as his deacon in the court.Fan Yi, the general of the guard, heard that the Sui army was approaching, and said to his servant Yuan Xian: "Jingkou and Caishi are both important military sites. We should send 5,000 elite soldiers and 200 golden-winged boats to defend along the river, just in case." If you don't listen to loyal advice, not only will you not increase your troops to defend, you will not prepare for battle, but you will play tricks, indulge in drinking, and compose poems, as before. In the first month of the third year of Zhenming (589 A.D.), when Chen Shubao was meeting with his ministers, the fog filled the air. He inhaled it into his nose and felt so bitter that he fell into a coma until noon.On this day, Sui general He Ruobi led his troops across the river, and Han Qinhu also crossed the quarry.The next day, Xu Zijian, the quarry guard, sent someone to Jiankang to report the change.Chen Shubao heard the news that he summoned the ministers to discuss for a day and issued an edict saying: "The mausoleum of dogs and sheep invades and steals the suburbs, and the bee gnats are poisonous. It is time to sweep them out. I will personally control the Sixth Division, clarify the eight appearances, and enforce martial law inside and outside." The imperial edict appointed Hussar General Xiao Mahe, Guard General Fan Yi, and Central Commander Lu Guangda as the governor, Sikong Sima Xiaonan, Xiangzhou governor Shi Wenqing as the supervising army, and sent Southern Yuzhou governor Fan Meng to lead the boat division. Going out of Baixia, Gao Wenzuo, the regular servant of Sanqi, led his troops out of Yuzhou in the south of the town.And re-establish rewards, monks, nuns, and Taoists are all ordered to serve.Not long after, Sui general Han Qinhu broke through Nanyu Prefecture and took Fan Meng's wife and children captive. Shu Bao was afraid that Fan Meng would have a different heart, so he wanted to replace Fan Meng with Ren Zhong, the general of Zhendong, and first sent Xiao Mohe to inform Fan Meng.Fan Meng was displeased, so he dropped the matter.Lu Guangda's son Shizhen stayed in Xincai, and together with his younger brother Shixiong's subordinates, they surrendered to Han to capture the tiger, and sent a letter to recruit Guangda to surrender.Quanda is guarding Jiankang, and will submit a letter in the future, and impeach himself to court lieutenant to plead guilty.Chen Shubao sent an edict to comfort him, gave him gold, and still made him return to the camp to supervise the army. A few days later, the Sui army had entered and occupied Zhongshan. The Chen people were shocked, and those who descended one after another.At that time, there were still more than 100,000 soldiers in Jiankang, and there were many generals, who could still compete with the Sui Dynasty.However, Chen Shubao has always been cowardly and does not understand military affairs. When he sees a critical situation, he only knows how to cry day and night, and Shi Wenqing is responsible for everything in Taichung.Wen Qingji said to Shubao, "these people don't listen to you. How can they believe you at this critical moment?"Xiao Mahe went inside to ask for a fight many times, but Chen Shubao didn't allow him.On this day, Shu Bao called Xiao Mahe and Ren Zhong into the inner hall to discuss military matters.Ren Zhong said: "There is a saying in the art of war: "The guest is valuable in fighting quickly, and the master is important." Now that the country has a lot of food and food, it should stick to Taicheng and erect fences along the Huai River. Although the Northern Army comes, it will not fight; Don't let them communicate with each other on the river road. Give me another 10,000 elite soldiers, 300 golden-winged boats, and cover Liuhe with the path down the river, and threaten to go to Xuzhou to cut off his return. If you don't attack, you will go away. When the spring water rises, Zhou Luohu and others on the upper river will go along the river to help, and attack the enemy from inside and outside." Although this strategy is good, Shubao can't follow it.After a night, Shubao suddenly came out of the hall again and said, "Soldiers are in a stalemate, and the outcome is undecided. It's annoying. You can call Xiao Lang to fight." Ren Zhong kowtowed, please stick to it and don't fight.Kong Fan interjected next to him and said: "Please let me lead the troops to fight to the death with the Northern Army, and I will be able to engrave a stone on Yanran for Your Majesty in the future." Maha Qiran said: "I have never sent troops to fight for the country and myself; today's matter is also for my wife and children." Shubao sent more gold and silk to the troops as rewards, and sent Lu Guangda to live in Baitugang. In the south of the armies, there are Ren Zhong, Fan Yi, Kong Fan in order, and Xiao Mahe is in the far north.The armies stretched for 20 miles from north to south, and they couldn't know each other's advances and retreats. At that time, the Chen Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but Chen Shubao committed adultery with Xiao Mahe's wife because he saw her young and beautiful wife.The matter was known to Xiao Mahe, so he had no intention of fighting.However, Lu Guangda led an army to fight, defeated Sui He Ruobi's army, and killed more than 200 people.Chen Jun scrambled for the head, and wanted to dedicate it to Jiankang for credit.The Sui army took the opportunity to come back, and went straight to Kong Fan's camp. Fan's troops were routed, Chen's army was in chaos, and Xiao Mahe was also captured by the Sui army.Ren Zhong entered Taicheng in a hurry, reported defeat to Chen Shubao, and said: "Your Majesty, take care, I have nothing to do." Shubao was shocked, took out gold, and asked Ren Zhong to go out to recruit people to fight again.Ren Zhong hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty only needs to prepare a boat, and go to the upper-class army, and maybe you can get out of trouble. I am willing to die as a guard." Get dressed and wait.Unexpectedly, seeing that the general situation was over, Ren Zhong went to Shizigang himself, surrendered to Han Qinhu, and led the Sui army into Zhuquemen.When Chen Jun wanted to fight, Ren Zhong waved his hand and reprimanded him, saying: "The old man has surrendered, why bother you." The guards rushed away after hearing the words.All civil and military officials in the city also fled.Only Yuan Xian was in the palace, and Shangshu ordered Mr. Jiang to bring several people in the province. He Ruobi fought fiercely with Lu Guangda until late at night, captured Guangda alive, and entered at night around the Beiye Gate. Hearing that Han had captured the tiger and captured Chen Shubao, he called for orders to meet him.Shubao was terrified, sweating profusely, his legs trembling, and bowed to Ruobi twice.Ruobi said with a smile: "The king of a small country is quite a minister of a big country. Worship is also a common ritual. Entering the court will be regarded as a lord of fate, so there is no need to be so afraid." Everywhere Chen Junshang fought with the Sui division, and Yang Guang, the king of the later Jin Dynasty, ordered Chen Shubao He wrote a book and issued an edict to various places, and most of the guards in the cities were disarmed upon hearing the news.Some of those who did not follow were soon wiped out by the Sui army. Previously, Chen Shubao had sent envoys to Sui to draw a portrait of Yang Jian and bring them home.Chen Shubao looked at the exhibition and was shocked and said: "I don't want to see this man!" Now that he is a prisoner, he has no choice but to meet the Sui Lord at Yangguangmen.Yang Jian first issued an edict to comfort him, and then issued an edict to accuse his emperor of being faint and sycophant.Shubao fell to the ground in fear, not daring to answer a word.Later, when he heard Yang Jian hand out the letter of pardon, he was so happy that he danced to thank him and kowtowed again and again. After a few days, Chen Shubao saw that the Sui Dynasty gave him more preferential treatment, so he repeatedly asked the supervisor for an official title.Hearing this, Yang Jian blurted out, "Shubao has no heart!" Then he asked the supervisor what Shubao did on weekdays.The warden replied: "Drinking alcohol day and night, you rarely wake up." Yang Jian asked again: "How much can you drink in a day?" The warden replied: "With my younger brother, I will drink one stone a day." Yang Jian was shocked and said: "How can one stone do it? Let him drink in moderation." After a while, he said: "Let him go, or tell him how to live!" In the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604), Chen Shubao died of illness in Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, at the age of 52.Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, doted on his sister, Mrs. Xuanhua, and gave him the posthumous posthumous title of Duke of Changcheng County. According to Shubao's behavior during his lifetime, he posthumously called "Yang".Because the word "Yang" was occupied by Yang Guang himself, Chen Shubao was called Chen Houzhu or Great Wall Duke in history.
