Due to Xu Zhihe's appropriate auxiliary measures, Huainan's economy was prosperous, social stability, and talent gathering, and Xu Zhihe also won praise from top to bottom in a wealthy place that belonged to the whole country at that time. But Yan Keqiu, the servant of the door, told Xu Wen to guard against Xu Zhihe, and this matter was known to Song Qiqiu, and Song Qiqiu said to Xu Zhihe:

"My lord, Yan Keqiu has repeatedly rejected your kindness, and now he is slandering Xu Gong, this person has outstanding ability, adults need to be careful!"

"Yan Keqiu is a talent, but it's a pity that he is not used by me, Mr. Song has a high opinion?" Xu Zhihe asked.

"My lord, since Yan Keqiu is not used by you, then you can't let him always stumble, just drive him away!"

"Well, sir's words are exactly what I want, so that my adoptive father will not have an opinion."

So Xu Zhihe used the vacancy of the assassin history in Chuzhou as a reason, and released Yan Ke to Chuzhou to serve as the assassin history. Yan Keqiu was very smart and knew that Xu Zhihe was dissatisfied with himself and wanted to take the opportunity to drive himself out of Guangling, so he accepted the appointment without complaining. He left Guangling in the posture of going out of Chuzhou to assassinate the history, but changed his route and went to Shengzhou halfway, Yan Keqiu just didn't take the usual road, he didn't plan to go to Chuzhou at all, and the reason why he happily agreed to go to Chuzhou was completely to paralyze Xu Zhihe. After seeing Xu Wen, Yan Keqiu said:

"The reason why I didn't go to Chuzhou but came here is because I have something important to talk to Gong Xu."

"What?" Xu Wen asked suspiciously.

"Gong Xu, do you want to go further?"

"What do you mean......" Xu Wen looked at Yan Keqiu.

Yan Keqiu stepped forward and said: "Duke Xu, it has been more than ten years since King Wu was canonized by the Tang court, and my Huainan has always taken the Tang court as the orthodoxy for more than ten years, and I still use the era name of the Tang court. But Huainan's domestic and foreign policies are actually independent and autonomous, and they have no relationship with the Tang Dynasty for a long time, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty has perished, and it is meaningless for me Huainan to continue to use the Tang Dynasty's era name! Yan Keqiu looked at Xu Wen, and Xu Wen looked at Yan Keqiu at the same time, and there was tacit understanding in their eyes

"What do you mean ......"

"The founding of the country," Yan Keqiu said, "Duke Xu, since Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established the Great Liang, Wang Jian has already established the Shu State in Chengdu, Liu Ling has established the Great Han Dynasty in Panyu, and even Qian Miao in Hangzhou, although he respects the Liang as Zhengshuo on the surface, but in fact he has long been a lonely person. Now that Huainan is a peaceful country and a prosperous society, we should build our own country. ”

After listening to Yan Keqiu's words, Xu Wen was very happy in his heart, because he had already had this idea, and he had this plan when he moved to Shengzhou. Now that the time is ripe, he said to Yan Keqiu:

"Since this is the case, I will now write to King Wu and call the emperor the founding of the country. Oh, and also, you don't have to go to Chuzhou, just stay and be in charge of the ceremonial regulations for the founding of the country! "Yan Keqiu is Yan Keqiu, which not only satisfies Xu Wen's wishes, but also achieves his own goal, killing two birds with one stone.
