Southern Wu finally founded the country, Yang Longyan became the king of a country, although it was not his subjective willingness to be manipulated by Xu Wen, but he finally had a place in that turbulent and treacherous era, and it was also the realization of his father Yang Xingmi's wish before his death.

Although Xu Zhihe is humble on the surface, unlike Xu Zhixun, who humiliates him and bullies her in public at every turn, Yang Longyan understands that Xu Zhihe has a city in his chest, and his forbearance is more terrible than Xu Zhixun's, it can be said that a wolf died and a tiger came, and the king of Wu was still just an ornament.

Yang Longyan, who became the king of Wu, did not really get better, and was still in an involuntary environment, often frightened, depressed, and depressed in his heart, resulting in low spirits, and a small amount of food, so he could only drink to relieve his boredom and use alcohol to eliminate his sorrows. Left and right admonished him:

"King Wu, you relax, your body is important, Wu Guo can't live without you!" Whenever he heard such words, Yang Longyan would say sadly:

"I became this king at the age of eleven, and I have lived a prison-like life for more than ten years, I dare not say it out loud, I dare not let go of things, and I am afraid every day, and now that the Yang regime is falling, I am afraid that I will never find a king like me in the world, I am ashamed of my father and brother!" Hearing King Wu say this, everyone was moved. In all fairness, Yang Longyan is a good person, there is no bad behavior, although his character is a little cowardly, but he understands things very well. It's just that when his father Yang Xingmi died, he was still young, and he had already fallen into the Wu regime before he grew up, and in that environment, he couldn't help but be suppressed everywhere, and he had to worry about his own life, adults would not be able to stand it, let alone a child!

Yang Longyan's long-term depression worsened his illness, and he finally died in May of the second year of Wuyi (920 AD) at the age of twenty-three.

After Yang Longyan died, who would be the king of Wu was a problem that needed to be solved urgently, and the court and the central government quarreled endlessly, and the old Yang family insisted on inheriting in the order of eldest and youngest, if this should be the turn of Yang Xingmi's third son, Yang Meng. But Yang Meng is calmer than Yang Wu and more courageous than Yang Long, Xu Wen will never let an adult who has courage and insight be the king of Wu. He rejected other people's proposals on the grounds that Yang Meng was brave and unscrupulous, and that he was not worthy of being a king, but let Yang Pu, the fourth son of Yang Xingmi, who had just turned twenty, be the new king of Wu. And Yang Meng was indignant because of the loss of the opportunity to be king, and he had great resentment towards Xu Wen.

After learning of the new candidate for King Wu, Xu Zhixun said to Xu Wen in confusion: "Dad, why don't you be your own!" ”

"Shut up, Hugh is talking nonsense." Xu Wen said.

"Dad, now that the Wu Kingdom is all supported by you, his Yang family is already an ornament, so why bother to assist them anymore."

"Don't talk nonsense, as long as your father is here, the king of Wu will always be his Yang's."

"Dad, aren't you asking for trouble? I really don't understand you, who dares to disobey you from top to bottom of the Wu Kingdom now, why do you support a king who doesn't care about anything? Take this opportunity to be the emperor yourself, how easy it is! ”

"Dad wouldn't do that, as a courtier, he should be loyal, how could Dad do that kind of thing that was spurned by others. Sima Yi didn't become an emperor back then, could his father still be better than Sima Yi? ”

"Daddy...... Then Emperor Wen of Sui also took the throne of Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty! Or his grandson, he hasn't been spurned! Dad, as long as you are a good emperor and govern the state of Wu well, others will not care about these things. ”

"Okay, don't say it, Dad has already decided." Xu Zhixun also wanted to say that he was stopped by Xu Wen.

Xu Wen didn't want to be the king of Wu, but he thought that his chance to be the king had not yet come, although most of them were his people in the court, but there were still many old ministers outside the Yang family who had military power, and Xu Wen was still afraid of them.
