The turmoil spread to the Lianghuai Jiangnan region, and the local heroes rose up to resist the enemy, and the states of Wu and Chu in the Ten Kingdoms were established, and the rebellion of Qin Zongquan was not quelled until the time of Tang Zhaozong under the efforts of Zhu Quanzhong.

Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong and Li Maozhen influenced the politics of the late Tang Dynasty and the early Five Dynasties, and Li Keyong's descendants and subordinates became the monarchs of the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou dynasties. Because of the disagreement between Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong, the two sides continued to struggle from the imperial court to the feudal town.
Zhu Quanzhong used the power of the court to suppress Li Keyong, and took advantage of Li Keyong's confrontation with Li Maozhen and others to subjugate the feudal towns in Hebei, and annexed the territories of the Hezhong Army, Ziqing Army and other Jiedu envoys. The expansion of the territory made Zhu Quanzhong's power far greater than that of Li Keyong, and the Fengxiang Festival in Guanzhong made Li Maozhen threaten the Tang court, but failed because of Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong's interference.
After Tang Zhaozong succeeded to the throne, Prime Minister Cui Yin and the eunuch Han Quanzhu fought for power, Tang Zhaozong was imprisoned by the eunuch Han Quanzhu, and Cui Yin urgently summoned Zhu Quanzhong to help. And Han Quanzhu forced Tang Zhaozong to take refuge with Li Maozhen, and Zhu Quanzhong led his army to besiege Fengxiang. In the following year, Fengxiang's army ran out of food and grass, and Li Maozhen had no choice but to kill the eunuch Han Quanyu and others to reconcile with Zhu Quanzhong.
Zhu Quanzhong took the opportunity to control the power of the court, and also slaughtered hundreds of eunuchs and sent troops to control Chang'an. Cui Yin regretted it and deliberately got rid of Zhu Quanzhong's threat, secretly recruited the six armies and twelve guards, and was detected by Zhu Quanzhong's eyeliner in Chang'an. Zhu Quanzhong killed Cui Yin, forced Tang Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, killed Tang Zhaozong in the same year, and set up Zhaozong's son Li Ji as the emperor, that is, Emperor Tang Ai.
Zhu Quanzhong originally wanted to wait for the unification to seize the throne, but because of the failure of the conquest of Huainan, he forced the Tang Emperor to let Chan, and killed him soon after, the Tang Dynasty perished, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period began, he changed his name to Zhu Huang, the country name Liang, known as the Later Liang in history, he was the Later Liang Taizu, and finally set up in the eastern capital of Bianzhou.
The Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the most magnificent and splendid dynasty in Chinese history, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is as dazzling as fireworks, but it is also like the dynasties, it has to be pushed forward by the wheel of history, and it is inevitable that it will die out after the prosperity, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has become a beautiful legend in Chinese history.
The Tang Dynasty was one of China's heyest periods, and after its demise, a unified and powerful centralized empire was soon replaced by a rising state. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, five regimes in the Central Plains were successively replaced, namely the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou. The first emperor of Later Liang was Zhu Quanzhong, the Taizu of Later Liang.
Later Liang Taizu Zhu Quanzhong, a native of Dangshan in Songzhou, was originally a rebel general of the Huangchao Rebel Army in the last years of the Tang Dynasty and the founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In his early years, he participated in the Huangchao Uprising, and later broke away from the Huangchao Great Qi and returned to the Tang Dynasty, and was given the name Zhu Quanzhong by the Tang court, and changed his name to Zhu Huang after usurping Tang Jianliang.
His ancestor was a descendant of Situ Hu of Shun, his ancestor was called Zhu Di, his great-grandfather was called Zhu Maolin, his grandfather was called Zhu Xin, and his father was called Zhu Cheng, and he was his father's third son. How did Zhu Quanzhong step by step from a rebel army in the Yellow Nest to the throne of the emperor?
During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a famine in the Kanto region for many years, and groups of thieves gathered together, and Huangchao took the opportunity to rise in Caozhou and Puzhou, and tens of thousands of hungry people volunteered to follow him. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was declining, corrupt officials were rampant, and the emperor was mediocre, which directly led to the resistance of the peasants, so the Huangchao army took advantage of the trend.
Zhu Wen also threw himself into this huge wave, and joined the army of Huangchao with his second brother Zhu Cun, and was promoted to captain because of his brave battles and many victories. Soon Huangchao captured Chang'an, and Zhu Wen was very prestigious in the Huangchao army because of his outstanding achievements.
Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen as the defense envoy of the same state, let him attack and occupy it by himself, and later rebelled to the Tang Dynasty, when Tang Xizong was very happy to learn of Zhu Wen's annexation, but he did not expect a greater catastrophe waiting for Tang Xizong, because of Zhu Wen, a dynasty was destroyed.
After Tang Zhaozong Li Ye ascended the throne, he was trapped by eunuchs at first, and later he was coerced by the feudal town. At this time, the Tang dynasty was weakened, the world was divided, wars were frequent, Zhu Quanzhong ran Bianzhou, and within ten years of superficially serving the Tang dynasty in the name of annexing Henan, conquering Hebei, and adding troops to Hedong, Zhaozong's fate had long been pinched in his own hands.
There is only one of his fierce opponents left, that is, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, Zhu Wen has been fighting with Li Keyong, the king of Jin for many years, he took advantage of the decline of the power of the king of Jin and quickly gained the upper hand, and was eager to replace Tang, because Chang'an was far away from Bianzhou, and it was not convenient for direct control, so he decided to force Tang Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang.
Zhaozong had no choice but to obey Zhu Wen's wishes, and Zhu Wen ordered the people of Chang'an to move according to their nationality, demolish the palaces and houses in Chang'an, float the wood down the Weishui, and build a palace in Luoyang. After Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, Li Keyong of Hedong, Li Maozhen of Fengxiang, Wang Jian of Xichuan, Zhao Kuangning of Xiangyang and other local powerful factions formed an alliance and advocated the whole world to fight against Zhu Wen in the name of reviving the Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Wen decided to raise troops to fight westward, and was worried that Zhaozong would make a move, so he decided to kill Zhaozong and set up a new monarch. Zhu Quanzhong was anxious to plan the usurpation of the Tang Dynasty, so he returned to Liang, secretly ordered to kill the Empress Dowager He, and forced Emperor Wai to issue an edict saying that he had committed suicide by defiling the palace and apologized, and was posthumously abolished as a concubine, Zhu Quanzhong was called the emperor in Kaifeng, and the country name was Liang.
In the long Tang Dynasty, the usurpation law formulated by Liu Yu once became a dead letter, until it was picked up and carried forward by Zhu Huang. Under the leadership of Zhu Huang, the usurpation of military generals in the Northern and Southern Dynasties became fashionable again in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. From Zhu Wen, the fierce general of the Huangchao Peasant Army, to Zhu Quanzhong, the king of Liang in the Tang Dynasty, and then to Zhu Huang, the Taizu of the Later Liang, the experience of this usurper is strikingly similar to that of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Huang was brave and brave, but unfortunately his character was not good, and as a result, the old rascal's own ending was very unpleasant, and Zhu Youqi implemented Liu Yu's law according to the script. The short-lived Houliang probably only existed for eighteen years, and then returned to dust, Zhu Quanzhong was absurd, and his behavior as a good beauty was jaw-dropping.
Erotic is also, it is normal for men to be good women, Zhu Quanzhong is strong and strong, and he also likes beautiful women. His wife, Zhang, was serious, upright, intelligent and witty, and he was both respectful and fearful. When he was crowned King of Liang by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang fell ill and soon died.
After Zhang's death, he did whatever he wanted, and after becoming the emperor, he had a group of concubines in his palace, but these were not enough, he abandoned these concubines and extended his hand to the minister's wife and daughter. The privy envoy Jing Xiang's wife and Zhu Quanzhong openly fornicated, and Jing Xiang did not dare to complain because of his affection and the prestige of the Son of Heaven.
Henan Yin Zhang Quanyi and Zhu Quanzhong are righteous brothers, they joined the righteous army together, and jointly voted for the Tang Dynasty as officials, Zhu Quanzhong lived in Zhang Quanyi's house in Luoyang for a long time, and played with almost all the women of the Zhang family, including Zhang Quanyi's wife and daughter. Zhang Quanyi's son was angry and wanted to kill Zhu Wen, but Zhang Quanyi thought of Zhu Wen's life-saving grace and dissuaded his son, but in the end, he didn't do it.
The most absurd thing is that Zhu Quanzhong also stretched out his hand to his son and his son, and asked their wives to take turns to sleep. This inferior emperor took advantage of his son and son, and the sons and sons competed to use their wives to Zhu Quanzhong to listen to secrets and compete for the status of crown prince. In the end, due to the whistleblowing of his son Zhu Youqi's wife Zhang, Zhu Quanzhong was killed by Zhu Youqi.
Later Liang Taizu Zhu Quanzhong's absurd notoriety in his later years completely covered up his great achievements, Zhu Quanzhong's beloved wife Zhang Hui also warned him to quit killing Yuanse before he died, but Zhu Quanzhong promised at the time that as soon as his wife died, his life would be immediately absurd and beastly. Regardless of morality, he summoned his son's adopted daughter-in-law to sleep one by one, and what shocked later generations was that his sons, seeing their father messing with his wife, not only did not get angry or resist, but regarded his wife as a means to compete for favor, in order to be able to get Zhu Quanzhong's favor, these princes even did not hesitate to sacrifice their wives, and used their wives to enter the palace to inquire about the news, and increase the possibility of competing for the throne for themselves.
And Zhu Quanzhong is also nonsense to the point that people can't understand it, he will really have a good impression of the corresponding prince because he loves a certain daughter-in-law, and the wife of the adopted son Zhu Youwen is deeply favored by Zhu Quanzhong, this princess instigated Zhu Quanzhong to make Zhu Youwen the crown prince, and Zhu Quanzhong really had the intention of agreeing. After the third prince Zhu Youqi learned the news, he rebelled and assassinated Zhu Quanzhong in anger.
Zhu Quanzhong was stabbed to death by his own son for picking up ashes, and there was infamy behind him, so notorious that he completely covered up his past great achievements.
Zhu Quanzhong should have the gene of killing good beauties in his bones, but in the decades before Zhang's death, he never had a reputation as a good woman, nor did he miss a major event because of a woman. If Zhang Hui had lived a few more years, maybe Zhu Quanzhong's ending would have been completely different, he should have died a straight death, and what should remain in people's memories is his great achievements, not his infamy.
When Zhu Quanzhong met Zhang Hui, Zhu Quanzhong was just a farmer, and Zhang Hui was a rich girl, Zhu Quanzhong fell in love with Zhang Hui at first sight, and at that time he had the idea of marrying Zhang Hui. This idea has always been strongly present in Zhu Quanzhong's belief, and it was simply his biggest dream during that time.
Zhu Quanzhong's participation in the Huangchao Uprising has always been from an ordinary soldier to a person in power, and during this period, he still remembered Zhang Hui, and because Zhang Hui never married. At that time, Zhu Quanzhong was already a defense history of the same state, but Zhang had become a refugee whose parents died, and was plundered by Zhu Quanzhong's subordinates to give Zhu Quanzhong a gift.
Zhu Quanzhong did not hastily accept Zhang Hui as a concubine because of Zhang Hui's downfall at this time, but worked hard to find Zhang's uncle, and married Zhang's family in three media, which shows how deep Zhu Quanzhong's love for Zhang Hui is.
After marrying Zhang, Zhu Quanzhong always loved Zhang, and Zhang also became Zhu Quanzhong's virtuous helper, and Zhang Hui was an indispensable existence on Zhu Quanzhong's way to attack the country. She not only took good care of Zhu Quanzhong, but before Zhu Quanzhong gave advice, in front of Zhang Hui, Zhu Quanzhong's irritable temper and murderous beauties were all reined in.
It's a pity that Zhang Hui died of illness after living with Zhu Quanzhong for more than 20 years, and Zhu Quanzhong, who got the news that Zhang Hui was seriously ill before his death, rushed to Zhang Hui's bedside. Zhang Hui repeatedly told Zhu Quanzhong to quit killing Yuanse, Zhu Quanzhong agreed, and she left with peace of mind.
After Zhu Quanzhong lost Zhang Hui's grief, he didn't remember to promise Zhang Hui, and finally incurred the disaster of killing, if Zhang Hui lived a few more years, Zhu Quanzhong's fate might be completely different.
