The first chapter is the embassy

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the local festival envoys were self-reliant, and there were local heroes who rose up together, dividing one side, and the imperial court was powerless to crusade, so it had to sit back and watch the forces of all sides fight each other.

In the land of Jianghuai, Yangzhou, a thousand-year-old city, was founded in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and Tang Xuanzong Tianbao changed Yangzhou to Guangling County in the first year. During the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou was extremely prosperous, and Bai Juyi, Du Mu and others lived here. At its most prosperous period, Yangzhou had more than 470,000 residents, making it a first-class state in the world.

More than a decade ago, however, the warlord Sun Ru was entrenched here, and he was a brutal man, and his troops often passed through empty rooms. At that time, the city of Yangzhou was full of corpses, a hellish scene.

Later, Yang Xingmi led the army to defeat Sun Ru, became the ruler of Yangzhou, and became the new Huainan Jiedu envoy.

He was generous, recruited talents, and adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation, giving relief to the victims, appeasing the exiles, and resuming production, and quickly won the support of the people.

After that, he continued to expand externally based on Yangzhou, occupying the territory of more than a dozen surrounding states, becoming the most powerful separatist force in the south.

In the second year of Tianfu, in the spring and March of 902 AD, the imperial court appointed Li Yan, the general of Zuo Jinwu, as the envoy of Jianghuai, wrote the imperial note and gave it to Yang Xingmi, awarded him the position of commander of the eastern camp and Zhongshu Ling, and crowned him as the king of Wu.

******

It is now the end of March, and since Yang Xingmi defeated Sun Ru to occupy Yangzhou ten years ago, after ten years of recuperation, Yangzhou has restored some of its former prosperity.

Yangzhou is divided into the outer city and the central Yacheng, where the outer city is where ordinary residents live, while the Yacheng is equivalent to the inner city, where only those dignitaries can live.

The mansion of Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, is located in Yacheng.

This mansion was built by Gao Yu, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, covering an extremely wide area, and there are many houses in it, which are scattered.

The entire Jiedu Embassy is divided into a front hall and a back yard. Among them, the front hall was used as a study room and a place for guests, and the military affairs of Huainan were discussed there.

As for the back house, it is the residence of Yang Xingmi's family. He was thrifty by nature, although he was the king of Wu, but there were not many wives and concubines in the back house, and there were many houses in the palace, so everyone with a little status and status could be assigned a separate courtyard.

In addition to the front hall and the back house, there is also a large open space connected to the east of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, where Yang Xingmi's most trusted pro-army is stationed, and 3,000 of the most elite soldiers firmly guard this mansion.

If Huainan is a complete kingdom, then this Jiedu Embassy is the royal palace of the entire kingdom, and all military and political affairs are concentrated here to discuss and deal with.

Deep in the back house, there is a small and exquisite courtyard. There is only one elegant cottage in the courtyard. There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted outside the house, and when the spring breeze blows, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are trying to grow upward, showing a vibrant scene.

This courtyard is a study, where the eldest son of the house will study attentively on weekdays.

There is a stone pavilion in the middle of the courtyard with a stone table in it.

In front of the stone table, there is a brocade-robed boy sitting in it at the moment. This son is not very old, he looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is born like Fu Fan and looks dignified. He was fair-skinned, dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a jade crown, and was obviously a wealthy child who had been clothed and fed since childhood.

Next to him stood two maidservants, both wearing green Luo skirts. Although it is not a national color, it is also beautiful and pretty.

At this moment, the brocade-robed boy was full of surprise on his face, a pair of black eyes rolled around, curiously looking at the surrounding environment, and muttering something in his mouth.

"I didn't expect such an unreliable thing as 'crossing' to really happen to me, not only that, but it seems that I also got the memory left by this person who is also named 'Yang Wu'."

"The eldest son of King Wu Yang Xingmi? It seems to be the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms. ”

He remembered that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was one of the most chaotic times in Chinese history. It was only fifty-three years before and after, and it actually experienced five dynasties of the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Dynasties, and the average life span of each dynasty was less than 11 years.

During this period, there were other local forces that divided one side and established the country, which was collectively known as the "Ten Kingdoms".

The whole of China fell into a state of complete division, until the Later Zhou general Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, usurped the throne and established the Song Dynasty, which began to unify the world and end the troubled times.

I remember that it is recorded in the history books that Yang Wu later inherited the foundation of his father Yang Xingmi, but he was arrogant and lascivious, and he was suspicious of heroes. As a result, within a few years, the generals Xu Wen and Zhang Hao launched a military admonition, usurped power, and finally killed Yang Wu. ”

Yes, this brocade-robed son in the stone pavilion is Yang Wu, the eldest son of Yang Xingmi, King of Wu. However, the current Yang Wu is no longer the Yang Wu of the past.

Not long ago, the original Yang Wu was reading a book in the stone pavilion, when suddenly a thunderclap sounded in the clear sky, and a lightning bolt hit a willow tree outside the stone pavilion.

Fortunately, the thunder came and went quickly, and none of the three people in the stone pavilion were injured, not even the guards guarding the courtyard were not alarmed.

However, what the two maidservants didn't know was that Yang Wu, who was sitting in front of them at the moment, had been replaced by a soul from the afterlife.

The original name of this soul from the afterlife was also Yang Wu, and he was a recent college graduate, born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze.

His hobby on weekdays is to read books on history and military affairs, and he also reads online novels when he has nothing to do.

Not long ago, he had just found a job, but he was unlucky and sad, and on the first day to work, he had a car accident and hung up. Unexpectedly, his soul crossed over to this person with the same name and surname as him.

"Alas, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, my parents, relatives and friends in my previous life, I don't know how they are now?"

He recalled the relatives and friends in his memory, and his heart was full of bitterness. After a long time, he sighed and said, "However, if you come, you will be safe." I'd better think about how to survive in this world. ”

He knew that although he had all kinds of insights and experiences from later generations, he now knew in advance that Xu Wen, Zhang Hao and others would rebel, and he could take targeted precautions; However, now after all, it is the chaotic era of the late Tang Dynasty, and those virtues of loyalty and faithfulness have long been lost, replaced by the desire for power and fame.

For the sake of power, it was not uncommon for subordinates to rebel and kill the monarch, brothers to turn against each other like enemies, and even sons to rebel and kill their fathers.

"So, the future will not be easy!" Yang Wu sighed.

It was now 902 A.D., and he remembered that Yang Xingmi would die of illness in November 905 A.D., and before he died, he passed on the position of Jiedu envoy to Yang Wu. However, just over a year later, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen staged a mutiny, overthrowing him, and soon after, they killed him and made his younger brother the new envoy of the festival.

"Xu Wen, and Zhang Hao!" He muttered.

It's a pity that although I know that the two of them will rebel in the future, there is nothing I can do about these two people now. His father was generous, if he told him that the two would rebel, but he couldn't produce any evidence, Yang Xingmi would definitely not pay attention to him, but would think that he was unreasonable.

"However, although it is said that Yang Wu recorded in the history books is an arrogant and extravagant person who does all kinds of evil, from the memory, it seems that the current Yang Wu is just an ordinary teenager who is a little naughty and doesn't like to read." Yang Wu was very surprised.

The Yang Wu in his memory, although he is a little competitive, but he is usually filial to his parents, friendly to his younger brothers and sisters, generous to his subordinates, and does not have many bad problems, he can be said to be a very good aristocratic son, why is the historical record so unbearable?

He was puzzled, "Whatever the reason, it's a good thing." At least the current impression of Yang Wu in the hearts of everyone is not bad, as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to change my ending in the future. ”

It took a long time for Yang Wu to completely fuse his memory.

In his memory, his father Yang Xingmi attached great importance to him, and although he was busy with government affairs, he often asked him about his situation; His biological mother's surname is Shi, she is Yang Xingmi's concubine, she is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, and she has always been respectful to Yang Xingmi's main room, Mrs. Zhu.

Yang Wu also has three sisters above, two of whom are already married, and the remaining sister is only two months older than him. In addition to several elder sisters, he also has a second brother named Yang Wei, who, like Yang Wu, was also born by the Shi family, and likes to pester him the most on weekdays, asking him to tell stories to listen; In addition, Yang Wu also has a fourteen-year-old sister, as well as a three-year-old third brother Yang Meng, and a two-year-old fourth brother Yang Pu.

In general, the Yang family has a small population, but they get along fairly well; Yang Wu is also very close to his relatives, and there is not much intrigue. This made him a little relieved from later generations, who was accustomed to a simple family environment.

PS : This book is a slow-burning type, and the protagonist is unlikely to be taken seriously at first as a sixteen-year-old boy, and then gradually takes over the power.
