It was clear to his subordinates and himself how Zhu Wen's throne came from, and in the first year of Tianfu (901) he led his army into Guanzhong and took control of the central power of the Tang Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first year of Tianyou (904), he forced Tang Zhaozong to move to Luoyang by force and killed him soon after. Zhaozong's son Li Ji was appointed as the emperor, that is, Emperor Zhaoxuan. In the fourth year of Tianyou (907), he seized the throne of Emperor Xuan through the form of Chan Rang, called the emperor on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, founded the country Liang, changed the year name to Kaiping, and was known as Houliang in history. Liang Kaiping moved the capital to Luoyang in the first month of the third year (909), and because of the attack on Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Kaiping changed the Yuan Qianhua in five years.

In just ten years, what has happened is far from being summed up in such simple words.

In the first year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen discussed taking Emperor Zhaozong, who was roasted by Li Maozhen, to Luoyang, and became Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Later, he was worried that the ministers of the Tang Dynasty would oppose him, so he ordered his adopted son Zhu Youliang to pretend to trust Zhaozong's edict, kill Prime Minister Cui Yin, Jingzhao Yin, Zheng Yuangui and others, and then resolutely ask Zhaozong to go to Luoyang, and Zhaozong had to obey. Zhu Wen ordered the people of Chang'an to move according to their nationality, demolish the Chang'an palace and houses, float the wood down the Weishui, and build a palace in Luoyang.

When Tang Zhaozong arrived in Luoyang, the guards of the six armies of the Tang court had been scattered, and the guards around Zhaozong and the people in the palace were all sent by Zhu Wen. On the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, Zhaozong still had more than 200 people around Xiaohuangmen and playing ball and children in the inner garden. Then they were replaced by 200 people of the same age and height.

Zhaozong didn't notice the abnormality of these people at first, and only noticed it when they got along, these people are very respectful on weekdays, but they often secretly snoop on some of their own things.

At this time, Zhaozong had become a loner in the true sense, and there was no one around him who could be trusted, and he could become Zhu Wen's meat at any time.

After Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, Li Keyong of Hedong, Li Maozhen of Fengxiang, Wang Jian of Xichuan, Zhao Kuangning of Xiangyang and other local powerful factions formed an alliance and advocated the whole world to fight against Zhu Wen in the name of reviving the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Wen decided to raise troops to fight west, and was worried that Zhaozong would make a move, so he decided to kill Zhaozong to get rid of future troubles, and there was a new monarch in the general study of Dong Zhuo.

In August of this year, he instructed Zhu Yougong, the commander of the Left Dragon Martial Army, Shu Cong and Jiang Xuanhui of the Right Dragon Martial Army, and others, in the name of entering the palace, to lead troops into the inner palace to kill Pei Zhenyi, the wife of Hedong in Zhaozong's harem, and break into the Jiaolan Hall of Queen He where Zhaozong was located.

Zhaoyi Li Yanrong, who protected Zhaozong, was also killed. Jiang Xuanhui was going to kill Empress He, but Empress He begged bitterly to save her from death because Zhu Wen only ordered Zhaozong to be killed.

This matter is undoubtedly a big rebellion, after all, Zhu Wen is still a nominal Tang courtier, and killing the monarch's father will make the world revenge. had to pass on all this black cauldron to the courtiers who worked hard for him.

There is only one simple sentence in the history book about this period of bird exhaustion, but it can deeply reflect Zhu Wen's indifference. "In the recovery of the sky, (Zhu Yougong) stayed behind for the Wuning army. At the beginning of the Tianqi Dynasty, Zhaozong moved east to Luoyi and worshiped the left dragon and tiger to unify the army to defend the palace. Xun and his uncle Cong received the secret decree of Taizu and killed Zhaozong in Luoyang Palace. Since Taizu arrived in the middle of the river, he was instructed to be slow with the military and government, degraded the Yazhou Sihu, restored his original name, and died on the same day as his uncle. ”

Zhu Yougong is still his righteous son, and his uncle Cong is also his right-hand man, otherwise he would not have handed over this matter to them. However, Zhu Wen's psychological side may have already listed them as pawns that can be discarded, otherwise how could such a lifeless character be allowed to do it.
