In the era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Xu Fu incarnated as Chai Rong of Later Zhou Shizong, who was the adopted son of Guo Wei, Taizu of Zhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Taizu ascended the throne, Chai Rong awarded the Zhou Festival Envoy, the inspection of the Taibao, and the Marquis of Taiyuan County. He was honest and honest, and he did not invade the border, and for another year, he was named the king of Jin, sentenced internal and external military affairs, and took over the military power. Zhou Taizu died, and Chai Rong became the emperor.

After Chai Rong ascended the throne, he immediately ordered the exiles to be appeased, taxes to be reduced, and the economy of the Central Plains to be restored. At that time, after a series of wars in the north and the Central Plains, the people were miserable, Chai Rong's actions just made the Central Plains begin to recover, he rectified the rule of officials, so that the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty were clear, the people were rich, and the economy began to prosper.

He abolished the world's Buddhist temple, with the copper of the Buddhist temple to cast Zhou Yuan Tongbao, the quality of money and the amount of casting are the crown of the five generations, his act of destroying the Buddha, known as the three martial arts, the Northern Wei Taiwu Emperor, the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor, the Tang Wuzong and the Later Zhou Shizong. Chai Rong's destruction of the Buddha, not loving his own body but loving the people, not to waste the benefits of nothing, Chai Rong is a benevolent and reasonable person.

Chai Rong carried out reforms internally, and actively expanded the territory externally, and Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, took advantage of his new throne and colluded with 40,000 Liao soldiers to attack the Later Zhou, Chai Rong resisted Feng Dao's dissuasion, led the army to meet the battle, and broke the Northern Han army in the south of Gaoping, stabilizing the political situation. After the war, the army was reorganized and trained, and redundant and weak were eliminated, so the military prestige was greatly boosted.

Feng Dao is the only strange person who has witnessed the history of the Five Dynasties, some people call him a veteran of the Ten Dynasties, a tumbler in the officialdom; some people say that he is a soft backbone, the most notorious traitor in Chinese history; some people say that he knows quite the way of inaction, and that he is as good as water, and has realized the way of Lao Tzu in the officialdom; some people say that he has empty political achievements, has nothing to achieve, and occupies a pit and does not; some people say that he has achieved personal cultivation and is a perfect person of the great sage; some people say that he is aware of the people's feelings, and he is also a benevolent gentleman, and Feng Dao has six wonders.

Yiqi, five dynasties and ten emperors, is the only patriarch of the Ten Dynasties in Chinese history. People who often listen to the drama say that someone's qualifications are old, so they call him the elder of the three dynasties, Feng Dao is three times beyond the addition of another dynasty, he has gone through the Yan Emperor Liu Shouguang, the Later Tang Dynasty Zhuangzong Li Cunxuan, the Later Tang Mingzong Li Siyuan, the Later Tang Min Emperor Li Congyuan, the Later Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke, the Later Jin Dynasty Gaozu Shi Jingjiao, the Later Jin Emperor Shi Chonggui, the Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, the Later Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan, the Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei Ten Dynasties, basically in every dynasty are reused, is a veritable officialdom tumbler.

Erqi always changes the master, but he is not regarded as a traitor. Feng Dao's temper now seems to be a bit like the grass on the wall, falling with the wind, whoever is hard and powerful, he will defect to whomever he wants, and he is incorruptible and shameless, and loses his integrity to the extreme. Especially when he defected to the Khitan, he said a sentence: "The Southern Dynasty is the son, the Northern Dynasty is the father, and the two dynasties are the ministers, how can there be a difference." ”

Therefore, he became the master of Yelu Deguang, which surprised people who had a little shame. The strange thing is that the subsequent Later Han Gaozu Liu Zhiyuan and Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei did not look down on him because of this, but instead named him re-elected as Taishi in this dynasty.

Sanqi, Feng Dao, who has no integrity, is a bookworm. Although Feng Dao is so undignified, don't treat him as a coarse, Feng Dao was a famous bookworm at that time. He read the books of the sages almost to the point of hunger and thirst, and he came from a humble background, and his ancestors were sometimes farmers and sometimes teachers, and were influenced by them.

Feng Dao has loved reading since he was a child, and he has never been picky about food and clothing, even when the door is closed in heavy snow, he must remember to read first, so he is full of articles, blowing trumpets through the crack of the door, and his reputation is outside, and he has become the first celebrity in the north and south of the country, no matter which dynasty or generation, he is proud to be able to hire him as an official. When he was an official in the Southern Dynasty, the Khitan of the Northern Dynasty heard of Feng Dao's name and wanted to sneak attack and snatch him away, but it was only because the border defenders were tightly guarded that he did not succeed.

Siqi, although Feng Dao has no integrity, he is not a corrupt official. Don't think that Feng Daonu must be a corrupt official and corrupt official who is a fish and a common man, on the contrary, Feng Dao is strict with himself and understands the suffering of the people, and he should be a very good person.

When there was a famine in his hometown, Feng Dao did not hesitate to take out all his family's belongings to help the villagers, but he lived in a thatched house. During the period of filial piety for his father in his hometown, he did not put on an official show in front of the villagers, but personally went to work in the fields, went up the mountain to cut wood, and tried his best to help some families who lacked labor. The wars between the north and the south were frequent, Feng Dao fled back from the north, and when he saw the plundered women of the Central Plains, he couldn't bear it, so he sold his things to redeem them, and then sent people to send them home one by one, completely with a bodhisattva's heart.

What's even more commendable is that Feng Dao is not a good beauty, when Tang and Hou Liang fought later, some generals gave him the looted beauties, Feng Dao hid Jiaojiao in the golden house, found a room to raise, and sent back after visiting her home. In the will he left behind, he said that after death, he hoped to choose a useless place to be buried, not to be buried with pearls and jade in his mouth like others, nor to wear luxurious shrouds, just use ordinary thick mats to bury.

When admonishing Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Mingzong, Feng Dao said: "If the grain is expensive, the peasants will be hungry, and if the grain is cheap, the peasants will be injured, this is common sense." Chen still remembers a poem: Selling new silk in February, and autumn valley in May. Heal the sores under the eyes, but remove the flesh of the heart. I hope that the king's heart will be turned into a candle of light, and that it will not shine on the feast of Qiluo, but on the house of escape. "Persuade Tang Mingzong to be a generation of Ming Jun.

Wuqi, Feng Dao has many official positions, but he is the crown of Chinese history. Feng Dao has served as the central and local official positions of Youzhou Jiedu Inspector, Hedong Jiedu Inspector, Secretary in Charge, Joining the Army in Youfu, Examining Dali Judge, Hanlin Bachelor, Duanming Hall Bachelor, Jixian Hall Scholar, Inspection School Shangshu Ancestral Hall Langzhong and Serving Imperial History, Inspecting School Officials Langzhong and Yushi Zhongcheng, Inspecting School Taiwei, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Inspecting School Taishi and Serving Zhong, Inspecting School Taishi and Zhongshu Ling, Xingtaizhong Shusheren, Household Servant, Transferring Military Department Waiter, Zhongshu Waiter, Menxia Waiter, Criminal Department Shangshu, Officials Department Shangshu, Right Servant Shooting, Sikong, Zaizhongshu, There are more than 40 kinds of Situ and Shizhong, Taiwei and Shizhong, Taifu, Taishi and so on. Feng Dao's successive ranks are Shilang, Yilang, Chaosan Doctor, Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, Tejin, Kaifu Yitong and the three divisions. His military rank ranged from the Pillar Kingdom to the Supreme Pillar Kingdom. The successive titles are the Founding Baron, the Founding Duke, the Lu Guogong, the Qin Guogong, the Liang Guogong, the Yan Guogong, and the Qi Guogong. The number of food euphores ranged from 300 to 11,000, and the number of food seals ranged from 100 to 1,800.

Liuqi, although Feng Dao has many official positions, none of his political achievements have been handed down. Although Feng Dao was full of poetry and books, he was neither a good general who pacified the country in troubled times, nor a good minister who helped a king govern the country, although he held a high position, it is difficult to point out what specific role he played in the political changes of the five dynasties of troubled times, and what specific connections he had with some major events.

He can be said to be a very professional official, but he is not a politician who can make a difference. Feng Dao claimed to be a stubborn old man without talent, no virtue and stubbornness, he realized the way of being an official from the inaction of the Taoist Lao Tzu, and realized the way of going with the flow from the good as water, he has a poem that just illustrates his heart: "Don't be afraid of God when you are in danger, and the future often has a cause." In the end, I heard that Haiyue returned to the Ming Lord, and the people of Qiankun were trapped. When did Daode pass away, and there was no way to get through the boats. But there is no evil in the sect, and the tigers and wolves also stand up. ”

Chai Rong conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty three times, created a naval army, restored the 14 prefectures of Huainan, and defeated Meng Chang of Later Shu and obtained the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Cheng and Jie.

Chai Rong tried to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and captured Yingzhou and Mozhou in a row, and Liu Chuxin, the assassin of Mozhou, and Gao Yanhui, the assassin of Yingzhou, surrendered, and then advanced to the north, and then captured the three passes of Yijin Pass, Waqiao Pass, and Gaoyang Pass. In May, when discussing the capture of Youzhou, Chai Rong fell ill and had to retreat.

After Chai Rong captured Waqiao Pass, he climbed high to observe the six divisions and saw that the three armies were majestic. The local elders offered cattle wine to the army, and Chai Rong asked, "What is the name of this place?"

The fathers replied: "It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is called a sick dragon." ”

Chai Rong didn't speak after hearing this, and immediately got on the horse and galloped away, but he became ill that night and had a high fever.
