Chapter 30: The Past Is Like Smoke (Part II)
Xu Wen and Zhang Hao got the news and immediately led the soldiers into the house. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly. When Zhang Hao saw that Yang Wu was dead, he became greedy and wanted to kick Xu Wen away and become the king of Wu himself. Zhang Hao was a big Chen Jiabing, and then summoned the civil and military "deliberations", Zhang Hao howled with a sharp voice: "The little master is gone, Huainan has no master, who do you think can be it?!" After asking three times in a row, everyone bowed their heads and was silent, thinking secretly: Just say that you want to be the king of Wu, what kind of garlic do you pretend?
The silence of the crowd was a wordless rejection of Zhang Hao, who was furious and ready to attack. Xu Wen's buddy Yan Keqiu is the first wise man in Huainan, he has always looked at Zhang Hao, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, for fear of the incident, he pretended to come to Zhang Hao's side and whispered: "Huainan is in turmoil, who can be the master of Huainan, who is not public?" It's just not the time yet. Zhang Hao was puzzled: "Why?" Yan Keqiu whispered: "Although King Wuzhong is dead, Liu Wei, Li Yu, Li Jian and others are all the first meritorious ministers of Huainan, I am afraid that they will not be convinced by Zhang Gongxin." Today's affairs, it is better to set up the second duke to perform first, and Zhang Gong coerced the princes of heaven, who would dare not obey? ”
Zhang Hao was silent, Yan Keqiu couldn't wait, knowing that Zhang Hao was forced to be in a hurry, he might come rough. Yan Keqiu was in a hurry, claiming that he was going to go out to Gong if he was not feeling well, and he hurriedly went to the office and wrote a fatwa in the name of Mrs. Shi. Then he came out and beckoned everyone to Fuzhongzheng, saying that there was something important to tell him. When everyone came to Zheng, Yan Keqiu knelt on the ground and read out the decree of "Mrs. Shitai": "It is not easy for King Wuzhong to start a business, in order to make the foundation of the Yang family not fall, we should quickly set up a grand performance today." ”
Everyone didn't want Zhang Hao to come out, and no matter whether the fatwa was true or not, he fell to the ground and shouted. Zhang Hao also rushed over when he heard the movement, and when he saw this, he knew that he couldn't succeed for the time being, so he had to follow everyone's opinion and set up Yang Long's performance.
Although Zhang Hao lost his hand for a while, he was not dead, of course, the first thing he needed to do was to remove Xu Wen's stumbling block and let Xu Wen go to Runzhou. Xu Wen got the news and urgently asked Yan Keqiu what to do? Yan Keqiu and Xu Wen have a very strong relationship, so they went to contact Li Chengsi, the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and after several people conspired, Yan Keqiu came to see Zhang Hao alone, saying that it was rumored that Zhang Hao was going to kill Xu Wen, so he was transferred out of Yangzhou first. Zhang Hao pretended to be innocent: "Xu Wen wants to go by himself, it has nothing to do with me!" Yan Keqiu whispered: "It's better to leave Xu Wen behind." Zhang Hao felt reasonable.
Soon, Xu Wen and Li Chengsi came to see Zhang Hao, and Yan Keqiu scolded Xu Wen: "The dog knows the master, how can Duke Xu accept the great favor of King Wuzhong, but now when Huainan is in turmoil, the prince wants to shake his hand, how can he live up to the great grace of King Wuzhong?" Xu Wen smiled secretly and shouted wronged: "Don't dare!" Can't! King Wuzhong Chongen did not dare to forget for several generations, and he was willing to do his best to repay the Yang family. Li Chengsi also coaxed, Zhang Hao couldn't do it, so he had to leave Xu Wen.
Xu Wen escaped, Yan Ke begged to persuade Xu Wen to strike first, although Zhang Hao was dull, but once he played roughly, everyone couldn't bear it. Xu Wen felt that the time was almost up, so he bribed Zhong Taizhang, the general of the left prison guard, led thirty strong men to break into the military palace, and took advantage of Zhang Hao's unpreparedness to cut off the head. Xu Wen was overjoyed, and quickly punished Zhang Hao's henchmen, and even Ji Xiang, who killed Yang Wu at the beginning, did not let go, and divided Ji Xiang's five horses into corpses for the crime of great rebellion. Since then, the power of Huainan has been in the hands of Xu Wen, and Yang Longyan is just a mud bodhisattva for people to worship.
After Xu Wen came to power, he vigorously carried out reforms, and all the malpractices implemented before were abolished, and the people were pleased. Xu Wen was in charge of state affairs, and was the actual prime minister of the cabinet, while Luo Zhixiang, a master of finance and economics, was in charge of finance, and the situation in Huainan became increasingly stable.
Xu Wen, whose surname is in charge of Huainan, naturally some people are not convinced, and Fuzhou is the first to jump out of Fuzhou, now Fuzhou, Jiangxi. He proclaimed himself the envoy of the Zhennan Army, and linked Yuan Zhou to Peng Yanzhang, the assassin of Yichun, Jiangxi, Jizhou, and the assassin Shi Peng Zhu of Ji'an, Jizhou, and Shi Weizai, the Rao of Xinzhou, Jiangxi, to raise troops and attack the garrison of the Zhennan Military Government, Hongzhou, now Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Xu Wen sent Huainan Mabu Army to make Zhou Ben fight, Zhou Ben once fought and killed the tiger, and the people of the rivers and lakes sent Ya the nickname "Tiger General". Soon the good news of 800 miles came: Wei Quan's sarcastic army was defeated in Ivory Pond, Nannan, Jiangxi Province, and he was captured alive and sacrificed to Yangzhou, Xu Wen was good-tempered and did not kill him. Everyone else is led by Danger Quan Satan, and when Wei Quan Satire is defeated, they all run away.
Although the Yang family has lost power, Yang Xingmi has been operating Huainan for 30 years, and the foundation is still there. Xu Wen knew that Yangzhou was not his territory and wanted to run a strategic base of his own. In 911 A.D., the first year of Liang Qianhua, Xu Wen asked Yang Long to make himself the assassin of Shengzhou, and built a sailor in Jinling, Shengzhou, led by Yi Xu Zhihe. Xu Wen looked far away: although Yangzhou is the world's wealthy, but in the north of the Yangtze River, only the Huainan line can defend against the northern forces, while Jinling has an additional Yangtze River defense line, and it is the former capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Wei Quan's sarcasm against Xu Wen's failure does not mean that everyone else is willing to be Xu Wen's lackey. Xuanzhou observed that Li Yu was Yang Xingmi's old friend, Xu Wen was a junior in front of him, Xu Wen became a prime minister, Li Yu was not convinced, and once scolded Xu Wen: "When I ran the rivers and lakes with the first king, where was Xu Wen?" Why do you dare to blackmail the heir king to order the towns? "Xu Wen sent all the commanders to make Chai Ke use to destroy Li Yu, and arrested Li Yu's child in front of the battle, and the young master of the Li family told his father not to rebel. Li Yu loved this the most, his heart softened, and he decided to submit to Xu Wen. But who is Xu Wen? Regardless of your old ministers and ministers, they are not his henchmen anyway, so it's better to kill them all. After Chai Ke entered Xuanzhou, he was ordered by Xu Wen to behead Li Yu's father first, and then hack Li Yu's family to death. killed Li Yu, and sure enough, it shocked the old guys, and no one dared to compete with Xu Wen anymore.
Xu Wen got rid of some disobedient people and began to actively cultivate his own forces, he absorbed Yang Xingmi's lessons, and first supported his children. Xu Wen has six children: Xu Zhixun, Xu Zhixun, Xu Zhixue, Xu Zhizhi, Xu Zhizheng, and Xu Zhige, but these biological children are not as good as Xu Wen's other adopted son: Xu Zhihe Li Yu.
Xu Wen was very touched and often said to his children, "Although you are my own son, if you talk about filial piety, none of them surpasses Zhihe." When Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, was alive, he also favored Xu Zhihe, Xu Wenbai picked up Xu Zhihe, who was originally raised by himself, and Yang Xingmi often spit out sour water: "Zhihe, this child is a handsome man, and his future is limitless." ”
Xu Zhihe is not only stronger than Xu Zhixun in filial piety, but also his ability is even more judgmental. Xu Zhihe sat in Jinling, deposed Yong into the virtuous, lenient and appropriate, for a time, the wise men from all over the world flocked to vote, among which the most famous is Song Qiqiu, a native of Hongzhou. Song Qiqiu is known for his eloquence, and he has the style of Su and Zhang of the Warring States Period, and others such as Zhou Zong, Cao Liang and others, Xu Zhihe are allowed to reuse and participate in government affairs. Corporal Xu Zhihe is generous and generous, and he has won the hearts of the military and civilians. Xu Zhihe's subordinates gathered martial arts, and Xu Wen praised Xu Zhihe and sighed as a genius.
After that, Qian Miao, the king of Wuyue, and the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, after hearing that Xu Wen had the real power in Huainan, came to inspect Xu Wen's skills. As a result, they found that this surnamed Xu was no worse than Yang Xingmi.
Liang Chao and Wu Yue were both sworn enemies of Huainan, and Xu Wen was repaired, and his prestige skyrocketed. Xu Wen's eldest son, Xu Zhixun, knew that his father would be the emperor in the future, and he would definitely be the emperor, so he was arrogant, and when he didn't even pay attention to Yang Longyan, the lord of Wu, he often had problems, so that Yang Longyan couldn't get off the stage. Godbrother Xu Zhihe is not a character in Xu Zhixun's eyes, and it is estimated that the only person Xu Zhixun can afford is his father Xu Wen.
Zhu Jin, a famous general in Huainan, was guarding Yangzhou at this time, working under Xu Zhixun, Zhu Jin once taught Xu Zhixun martial arts, and he was considered a friendship between teachers and students, but Xu Zhixun regarded Zhu Jin as a domestic slave and often commanded him. Zhu Jin is also a person who has seen the world, and now he is a slave to the Xu family, where can he swallow this breath? Later, the two had a quarrel, Xu Zhixun sent Jianghu assassins to assassinate Zhu Jin, Zhu Jin was good at martial arts, he didn't care about these thieves, he did it all and buried it in the back garden.
In June 91 of the fourth year of Liang Zhenming, Xu Wen knew that Zhu Jin had a conflict with his son in Yangzhou, and his elbow naturally turned inward, so he transferred Zhu Jin to Xuyi, now Jiangsu, to be the envoy of the Huaining Military Festival, obviously despising Zhu Jin. Zhu Jin couldn't stand this, and decided to do a big deal. Zhu Jin knew that Xu Zhixun had seen his concubine Tao and his mount BMW, so he warmly invited Xu Zhixun to the banquet and was willing to give Tao and BMW to the eldest young master. Xu Zhixun didn't know that there was a deception, and he came to the banquet happily. Zhu Jin respectfully invited Young Master Xu to sit down, and then turned around: "Tao'er, come and serve the young master." At the sound of the curtain, the aroma hit, and I saw a big beauty swaying and kneeling on the ground to drink. Xu Zhixun's eyes were straight, and he was overjoyed: "Xianggong is so loving, where can Zhixun bear it, thank you!" After drinking a few times, he was drunk and lay on the table. Zhu Jin saw that the opportunity had come, and handed over a look to let Tao out, and Zhu Jin chopped off Xu Zhixun's head.
Zhu Jin hurriedly entered the palace and threw Xu Zhixun's head to Yang Longyan: "Xu Zhixun is rude to the king, and the ministers will behead him!" "Yang Long is timid and afraid, and his frightened soul flies out of the sky, if Xu Wen knows that he is involved in Xu Zhixun's death, how can there be delicious fruits to eat? Cover your sleeves and hurriedly leave, trembling and said: "This is what you did yourself, and it has nothing to do with me if you ask for the crime in the future!" ”
Zhu Jin saw that Yang Long's performance was so useless, and scolded angrily. At this time, Xu Wen's personal soldiers had already chased him, Zhu Jin jumped over the wall and escaped, but broke his leg, and then looked for the horse he was riding, and he didn't know where to run, Zhu Jin knew that he was not saved, and he wanted to be captured alive by Xu Wen. Zhu Jin is also too reckless, I really don't know what this person thinks.
Xu Wen, who was in Jinling, heard that there was a change in Yangzhou, and rushed the elite into Yangzhou. wantonly killed Zhu Jin's henchmen, exterminated Zhu Jin's three clans, and violently killed Zhu Jin's body in Yangzhou City. Xu Wen left behind the most important governor of Yangzhou, and then returned to Jinling.
Marching Sima Xu Jue once persuaded Xu Wen to pass on power to Xu Zhixun, but Yan Keqiu didn't like Xu Zhihe, and often sowed right and wrong. Xu Wen also had a plan to replace Xu Zhihe, but Xu Zhihe was lucky, Xu Wen died of illness at this juncture, and Xu Zhihe's great ability was gone. It was no surprise that the power of Wu ** fell into the hands of Xu Zhihe, and then Xu Zhihe forced Yang Pu to be the emperor. Yang Pu had no choice but to proclaim himself Emperor Wu shortly after Xu Wen's death and change his name to Yuan Qianzhen
Xu Zhihe was in power, and several of Xu Wen's relatives were very dissatisfied and secretly scolded their father for being confused. Xu Wen is confused, Xu Zhixun is more confused than his father, Xu Zhixun will not entrap people, and even several of his own brothers are mean and unkind, "there is more help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust", and the people's hearts have run to Xu Zhihe's side. In November 930 of the third year of Qianzhen, Xu Zhihe asked Xu Zhixun to come to Yangzhou in the name of Emperor Yang Pu to see him. Xu Zhihe was reappointed as the sixth brother Xu Zhige, who had a good relationship with him, to guard the important town of Jinling.
In the second year, Xu Zhi played Emperor Yang Pu, saying that he wanted to return to Jinling to retire, and Yang Pu agreed. Xu Zhihe is only 43 years old this year, which old man to raise? It was just a prelude to Xu Zhihe's preparation to establish a new regime in Jinling, Yangzhou was really not a place to build a capital, and it was inferior to Jinling in any way. Xu Zhihe's father Xu Wen, who was the head of Jinling, let his own son Xu Jingtong and Li Jing "assist the government" in Yangzhou with the help of Song Qiqiu and others, but actually monitored Yang Pu.
Xu Zhihe did things safely, he knew what he was going to do next, but he had to eat the food in one bite and hold his breath. This is the same as murder, making people chronically poisoned is less likely to be detected than poisoning people on the spot, Xu Zhihe is like this. In September 935 AD, Yang Pu first changed the name of the year to Tianzuo, and then "obeyed the will of the people", and added Xu Zhihe "Shang Father, Taishi, Great Prime Minister, Generalissimo", and the title was further advanced to one level, and he was named the King of Qi, and Jiuxi was added, and ten states were made as the fiefdoms of "Qi State". Things have come to this point, and the fool knows what Xu Zhihe is going to do next.
Xu Zhihe has held the power of Wu ** for nearly ten years, and the ruling foundation is deep-rooted, even those old ministers of the Yang Xingmi era are heartbroken when they see that the bloodline of the Yang family will soon be extinct, but they don't have the courage to stumble Xu Zhihe, so they have to bow to reality, like the highly respected Zhongling Zhou Ben is like this, Xu Zhihe hopes that Zhou Ben can take the lead in persuading Yang Pu to step down, Zhou Ben doesn't want to do this lack of virtue, and sighs: "The Yang family treats me like Mount Tai, cannibalism, disloyalty to others, spread out, where does the face exist?" His son Zhou Hongzuo wished that Xu Zhihe would be the emperor, so he could find a good position in the new dynasty and force Zhou Ben to persuade him, but he couldn't do it, so Zhou Ben had to bow his head and lead his ministers to persuade Xu Zhihe.
Xu Zhihe pretended to be a good person, claiming that "there is no talent and no virtue, and he is not enough to dominate the world." "Without waiting for the ministers' second persuasion, Yang Xingmi's son, Yang Meng, was saddened that the Yang family was about to die, and went to Zhou Ben in the hope of helping him get rid of Xu Zhihe. Zhou Ben, as Yang Xingmi's descendant, is not a close friend of the Xu family's father, so he naturally hopes to bring down Xu Zhihe, and he can also give the old master Yang Xingmi an explanation. But his baby Zhou Hongzuo still took Yang Meng seriously, and secretly sent the outlaws to arrest Yang Meng and give it to Xu Zhihe. What's so good about that? Yang Meng was executed in the name of Emperor Wu.
In October 937 AD, Emperor Yang Pu of Wu State officially abdicated the throne, and sent Yang Luan, the king of Jiangxia, to Jinling to pass the edict of Chan State, and Xu Zhihe, the king of Qi, called the emperor in Jinling, now Nanjing, Jiangsu, and founded the country as Daqi, changed Wu Tianzuo three years to the first year of the Great Qi Shengyuan, and respected his father-in-law Xu Wen as Emperor Taizu Wu. Although Xu Zhihe still called himself an "old minister" to Emperor Yang Pu when he received "Zen", and respected Yang Pu as "the noble Emperor of Xuan Honggu Jean", it looked like the sky was falling, but a year later, Yang Pu died in Yangzhou for no apparent reason.
After Xu Zhihe became the emperor of Great Qi, he had an idea: "My original surname was Li, but I changed my surname to Yang, and finally my surname was Xu." Is it necessary to pass incense to Xu Wen now? Xu Wen didn't treat Xu Zhihe as his own, Xu Zhihe repaid his grievances with grievances, and he didn't want to whitewash the face of the old Xu family, so Xu Zhihe "passed on" this idea to Xu Wen's two surviving sons, Xu Zhizheng and Xu Zhige. These two also became princes after Xu Zhihe became emperors, but after all, they were begging for a life under Xu Zhihe's family, Xu Zhihe wanted to change his surname, so the two naturally pushed the boat down the river and took the ministers to ask the emperor to return the surname Li. Xu Zhihe waited, but before the change, he acted in another scene, and everyone persuaded him again, so he decided to change his surname. In 939 AD, Xu Zhihe reverted to the surname Li, changed the country name to Tang, and changed his name to Li Yu
