Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Zhu Wen and Li Keyong stood on their respective command platforms, their eyes flashing with the light of decisive battle.

"Li Keyong, in this war, we have no way out!" Zhu Wen's voice floated in the wind.

Li Keyong held the hilt tightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Zhu Wen, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy, come on!"

After days of fierce fighting, Zhu Wen led the remaining troops, including Zhu Quanyu, Han Zhu, medical officer Bian Yong and Taoist Zhang Taiyi, on the way back to Bianzhou. The smoke of the battlefield has not yet dissipated, and the soldiers' armor is covered with dust and blood, but their eyes reveal the determination of victory.

"Quanyu, count the casualties and ensure that the sacrifice of every warrior is remembered." Zhu Wen's voice was full of unquestionable majesty.

Zhu Quanyu nodded, his movements were quick and orderly, and he began to organize the soldiers to count.

Han Zhu was busy communicating with the logistics troops to ensure that the wounded could receive timely treatment and supplies.

Medical officer Bian Yong shuttled through the team, his medicine box was always with him, ready to provide treatment for the injured soldiers at any time.

Taoist Zhang Taiyi silently cast a spell on the side, praying for the troops, hoping that they could return to Bianzhou safely.

As the troops slowly moved forward, the city wall of Bianzhou gradually appeared in sight. The soldiers saw the familiar city, and a warm current surged in their hearts.

"My king, we are finally back." Zhu Quanyu's voice was a little tired, but more of a relief.

Zhu Wen nodded, his eyes were deep, looking at the gate of Bianzhou, his heart was full of complex emotions.

"This victory was won by the lives of every warrior. We must remember them, and we must cherish our common home." Zhu Wen's voice echoed in the team.

The soldiers nodded one after another, their faces full of hope for the future and nostalgia for the past.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere inside and outside the palace was like a taut bowstring, ready to explode at any moment. In 907 AD, Emperor Ai of Tang, Li Zhu, a 13-year-old young emperor, sat on the dragon throne, his eyes revealing a heaviness that was inconsistent with his age. The powerful minister Zhu Wen stood in the palace, his eyes sharp, like a falcon staring at its prey.

"Your Majesty, the situation has come to this point, you should make a wise choice." Zhu Wen's voice was cold and hard, and there was no respect in his words.

Li Zhu's hands tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon throne, and his voice trembled: "Zhu Wen, are you forcing the emperor to abdicate?"

Zhu Wen smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "Your Majesty, how can this be called forcing the emperor to abdicate? I am thinking about the future of the Tang Dynasty."

Empress He stood beside Li Zhu, her hand gently placed on Li Zhu's shoulder, trying to give him some support. Her voice was firm and gentle: "Your Majesty, we must protect ourselves and our family."

Li Zhu took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, Zhu Wen, I am willing to abdicate."

Zhu Wen's face showed a full ofWith a satisfied smile, he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty is wise."

With Li Zhu's abdication, the history of the Tang Dynasty officially came to an end. Zhu Wen's ambition was satisfied, and he began to establish his own dynasty.

However, the changes in the court did not subside. Although Li Zhu and Queen He saved their lives, their lives were full of uncertainty and danger.

"We must find a safe place away from Zhu Wen's forces." Queen He said to Li Zhu.

Li Zhu nodded, with a firm voice: "I will find a way."

In the following days, Li Zhu and Queen He began to secretly contact those officials and forces who were still loyal to the Tang Dynasty. They knew that only by uniting together could they fight against Zhu Wen's tyranny.

In a late-night secret meeting, Li Zhu said to the officials present: "We must act carefully. Zhu Wen's spies are all over the palace. Any small negligence may cause our plan to fail."

Empress He added: "We have made some progress, but Zhu Wen's power is still strong. We can't take it lightly."

The officials agreed one after another, and they all saw the dawn of hope.

However, just when they were about to make a breakthrough, an unexpected news came that Zhu Wen had learned of their plan and was planning a bigger conspiracy.

Li Zhu and Empress He fell into panic again. They knew that their fate was about to face a bigger test.

This power struggle in the palace was full of suspense and tension. Everyone tried their best to survive.

Will Zhu Wen's conspiracy succeed? Can Li Zhu and Empress He escape? All the answers will be revealed in the next struggle.

In this process, Li Zhu and Empress He showed their wisdom and courage. They kept looking for opportunities to try to reverse the situation.

By chance, Li Zhu learned a secret about Zhu Wen, which might be the key to their comeback.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the palace flickered, casting mottled shadows. The conversation between Li Zhu and Queen He echoed in the empty hall, their voices were low but full of determination.

"This secret is about Zhu Wen's weakness." Li Zhu continued, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, showing his inner tension.

Queen He moved closer, her eyes firm: "We must make sure this secret does not leak out. Zhu Wen's men are everywhere, we must be careful."

Li Zhu nodded, a sly look flashed in his eyes: "I have arranged confidants, they will ensure the safety of this secret."

Queen He pondered for a moment, then said: "We still need a plan, a plan that can defeat Zhu Wen in one fell swoop."

Li Zhu stood up, his eyes swept around to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Then he whispered, "I've thought about it. We need to use ZhuWen's ambition, let him reveal his flaws. "

Queen He's eyes flashed with surprise: "You mean, we want him to jump into the trap we set?" Li Zhu nodded, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's right. Although Zhu Wen is cunning, he has a fatal weakness-he is too confident." Queen He understood Li Zhu's intention, and her eyes flashed with wisdom: "So, how can we lure him?" Li Zhu walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky outside. His voice was low and powerful: "We need to create an illusion, an illusion that makes Zhu Wen think he can seize the throne in one fell swoop. " Queen He walked to his side, her eyes were firm: "I will arrange everything to ensure that this plan can go smoothly. " Li Zhu turned around, his eyes were full of trust: "I believe you, Queen. We will succeed. ”

The two smiled at each other, and there was hope in their eyes. In this palace full of conspiracy and danger, they knew that only by uniting as one can they defeat the powerful enemy.

In the depths of the palace, Li Zhu and Queen He's plan unfolded quietly like a carefully woven net. They knew that every step must be cautious and every detail must not be neglected. Zhu Wen's ears and eyes are all over the palace, and any small mistake may make their plan fail.
