When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.

The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was terminally ill; The Confucian student Huang Chao wrote this poem when he fell off the list in Chang'an, and also expressed his ambitions. Soon after, in 874 AD, Huang Chao led his troops to join Wang Xianzhi, and the Tang Dynasty, which had been deeply divided by warlords, exhausted its last national fortunes in this war.

Huang Chao eventually failed and died. The Tang Dynasty survived for more than twenty years in a crumbling state, and was usurped by Zhu Wen in 907 AD; The Tang Empire, once the center of world civilization, officially collapsed, and Chinese history entered a period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. Zhu Wen established the "Liang", known as the Later Liang in history, and became the first Central Plains regime during the Five Dynasties period, which lasted for 53 years.

Zhu Wen was originally a general of Huang Chao, but after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he turned into the rebel army, and then usurped Tang Liliang. He had a mortal enemy, in the late Tang Dynasty, he had dealt with the rebel army together with the Hedong Jiedu envoy, the Jin King Li Keyong, after the establishment of the Later Liang, the two sides continued to fight; When both Zhu Wen and Li Keyong died, the sons continued to fight. Finally in 923 AD, Li Keyong's son Li Cunqiao, the king of Jin, was proclaimed emperor, the country name was "Tang Dynasty", known as the Later Tang Dynasty in history, and then destroyed the Later Liang. History entered the second period of the Five Dynasties: the Later Tang Dynasty.

Later Tang Hedong Jiedu envoy Shi Jingjiao was the founder of the country, and was respected by the imperial court, and the emperor Li Siyuan even married his daughter to him. However, after Li Congke ascended the throne, due to the objective threat of the commander of the army, the monarch and the ministers were suspicious of each other. Shi Jingjiao decided to raise an army against the Tang Dynasty, at the cost of ceding the sixteen states of Youyun, he called the Liao State a vassal, and asked Liao Taizong for help; So he united with the Liao army to go south to defeat the Later Tang Dynasty. In 936 A.D., Shi Jingjiao was called the emperor, and the country name was "Jin", and the history was called the Later Jin.

Shi Jingjiao's practice of admitting his father made many people in the country feel humiliated, and the rebellion never stopped, and his two princes were killed because of the rebellion. When Shi Jingjiao was dying, he passed the throne to his adopted son Shi Chonggui, who decided to gradually break away from his attachment to Liao. But this practice immediately led to a war with the Liao State, and the Liao State attacked a total of three times, Shi Chonggui lost all in the last war, the whole family was captured, the wife and concubine were played, and the Later Jin perished.

However, the Khitan people were not welcomed by the Han people in Hebei, Henan and other places because of their evil deeds of burning and looting for a long time, and the Khitan lord found that he could not rule after he ascended the throne in Kaifeng, and it was dangerous to stay in the Central Plains, so he decided to retreat. There was no owner in the Central Plains, and Liu Zhiyuan was called the emperor in Taiyuan by the East Jiedu of the Later Jin Dynasty, and led the army south to receive Luoyang, Kaifeng and other places, and successively recovered Henan and Hebei Prefectures, and established the "Han" in 947 AD, known as the Later Han Dynasty in history.

Guo Wei was the founder of the Later Han Dynasty and was also highly regarded by the emperor. After the death of Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Guo Wei also helped the Later Han Emperor to quell rebellions many times; Among them, the Later Han general Hezhong Jiedu made Li Shouzhen claim that the emperor rebelled, which was a great threat to the imperial court and relied on Guo Wei to suppress it. However, Emperor Yin of Han was afraid that Guo Wei would learn from his predecessors, so he distrusted each other, and killed Guo Wei's entire family in the internal turmoil, but failed to get rid of Guo Wei. So Guo Wei's army drove back to Kaifeng to kill Emperor Yin of Han, and the Later Han Dynasty perished, and in 951 A.D. Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor, and the country name was "Zhou".

When Guo Wei claimed that the emperor was founded, Liu Chong, who was also proclaimed emperor in Taiyuan by the East Jiedu of the Later Han River, was known as the Northern Han Dynasty in history, and became one of the "Ten Kingdoms" in addition to the Central Plains Dynasty. Liu Chong wanted to borrow the Khitan soldiers to go south, and draw a scoop to destroy the Later Zhou and become the lord of the Central Plains himself, but he did not succeed; Later Zhou also failed to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty in the end, and the two sides continued to fight. In addition to the Northern Han Dynasty, there were many local secession regimes in Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangnan and other places in the south, known as the Ten Kingdoms.

After two generations of emperors, Guo Wei and his adopted son Chai Rong, the national strength gradually increased, and began to gradually implement the strategy of unifying China. However, the third emperor Chai Zongxun was only a few years old when he ascended the throne, so Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally the general of the Later Zhou Forbidden Army, launched a mutiny in Chenqiao, and in 960 AD he called the emperor to establish the Song Dynasty, and the Later Zhou perished. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms thus came to an end, and Chinese history entered the Northern Song Dynasty.

Fu.

Fu Yanqing is a figure who was mainly active in the late period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and was born in a family of military generals. His grandfather was Wu Wang Fu Chu, and his father, Qin Wang Fu Cunxian, was Li Keyong's adopted son. In Fu Yanqing's generation, he was named the King of Huaiyang, the King of Wei, and the King of Wei, and the nine of his brothers were all town guard generals with military power.

But Fu Yanqing's family is most famous for his daughters, and the three daughters are the stepmothers. Among the three queens, the eldest daughter Fu is the queen of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong.

In 947 AD, Liu Zhiyuan established the Later Han Dynasty, which was the fourth dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This year, Fu was 16 years old, and because his father changed his town to Yanzhou, he moved with his father; In Yanzhou, she met a young man who was dying of hunger and cold, and Fu's sympathy begged her father to save the young man named Guo Shao.

Soon after, Fu married the son of Li Shouzhen, a general of the Later Han Dynasty, and went to Hezhong Mansion. Guo Shao accompanied him as a guard.

In 950 AD, a wandering Taoist priest saw Fu and said that she had the appearance of an empress, which stimulated Li Shouzhen's ambition even more: the daughter-in-law has the appearance of the empress, and the son is not the emperor? Li Shouzhen then made up his mind and raised troops in the river.

The Later Han court sent Guo Wei to lead an army to quell the rebellion. Li Shouzhen was defeated, the rebel army entered the mansion, and his entire family was killed; His daughter-in-law Fu didn't want to be buried, so she hurriedly fled to the inner mansion to hide, and the guards and house slaves around her all ran away, only to meet Guo Shao who was willing to block the pursuers for her.

Guo Shao was grateful for Fu's life-saving grace and some other reasons, and wanted to repay the favor with death...... He was shot in the head with a blunt object in the midst of the chaos and then dumped in a mass grave outside the city, along with countless corpses. At this time, there was some accident in time and space, and the young man of the fifth generation had just died, but by chance, he was possessed by a soul from modern times and woke up with difficulty.

And Fu did not die, but she relied on the friendship between her father Fu Yanqing and Guo Wei, and was recognized by Guo Wei as a righteous daughter. Soon after, Guo Wei and Fu Yanqing hit it off and got married, accepted this righteous daughter as a daughter-in-law, and asked Fu to remarry Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong.

Zhou Taizu Guo Wei's family was killed in the internal turmoil of the Later Han Dynasty, and his son was gone, so he had to let his adopted son Chai Rong as the heir, and finally passed the throne to Chai Rong three years later. Fu was Chai Rong's wife, so she became the first queen from the Fu family.

However, there seems to be a butterfly in the long river of history. When Li Shouzhen of Hezhong Province rebelled, a guard who should have died came back to life, like an extra butterfly of unknown origin, which flapped its wings and gradually affected the face of history......

(Six levels in the early stage of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army: Fire Chief, Ten Generals, Dutou, Commander, Military Commander, and Xiangdu Commander.) And then there is the ranks of high-ranking generals)
