And here, Wang Hongzhen moved Li Conghou from the post house to the state office, and Li Congke sent Wang Hongzhen's son Wang Luan to poison Li Conghou. On the ninth day of the first month, Wang Luan went to Weizhou to meet Li Conghou, Li Conghou asked him what he was doing, but Wang Luan did not answer. Wang Hongzhen drank wine several times, but Li Conghou knew that it was poisonous, so he shirked it and didn't drink it, so Wang Luan strangled him to death.

After Shi Jingjiao became emperor, he made Li Conghou Emperor Min (also known as Emperor Shu). The comment on him in "The History of the Old Five Dynasties" is: "The emperor is good at reading "Spring and Autumn", and he understands the righteousness" and the comment of "The History of the New Five Dynasties" is: "He is rich in human form and good manners."

Before, when Li Conghou fled to Weizhou, only Song Lingxun, the assassin of Cizhou, sent someone to greet him, and when he heard that he had been killed, he cried bitterly for a long time, and then hanged himself.

When Li Congke set out from Fengxiang, he promised to reward each sergeant with a reward of 100 taels after entering Luoyang. When he arrived in Luoyang, he asked Wang Mei, the third envoy, how the reality was in the treasury, and Wang replied that there were millions of stocks.

After sending people to verify, it was found that the money and cloth were only 30,000 taels and horses, and the cost of rewarding the army was estimated to be 500,000 yuan.

Li Congke was angry, Wang Mei proposed to gather people's wealth to make up for it, collected it for a few days, and only got tens of thousands of yuan, Li Congke said to the ruling officials: "The army can't be rewarded, and the people can't be compassionate, what should I do about this?" The rulers suggested that they could raise money according to the house, whether the shishu lived in it or rented it, and borrowed five months' rent in advance, and Li Congke agreed to this method.

The officials concerned did everything possible to collect the people's wealth, but only received 60,000 yuan, and Li Congke became angry and put all the people who lost their wealth in violation of the law in the prison of the military patrol envoys, supervised and urged them day and night, and some people were hanged and thrown into wells. Regime change. It is often the people who suffer, and it is really happy. The people are suffering and dying. The people are bitter.

On the 16th, Li Congke changed his name to Qingtai, and the world was amnesty.

The yellow finch is behind

Li Congke finally became the emperor, sitting on the high-end and high-grade dragon chair and looking around, he found a pair of malicious eyes staring at him, oh no, staring at the throne he sat on, and among them. The one who frightened him the most was Shi Jingjiao. follow

KFC, called Hua Chicken, crispy chicken is a bit similar, Shi Jingjiao's father is called Gao Ji Chicken, whether it is Xiyi or Shatuo people can not be verified now, only known to be a minority minority, because he is good at riding horses and archery, he was reused by Li Ke with his father and son, and he has established many military exploits. The status is second only to Zhou Dewei. Shi Jingjiao is the second son of Gao Ji Ji, who was born on February 28 in the first year of Zhaozong Jingfu (892) in Fenyang, Taiyuan.

Legend has it that when Shi Jingjiao was born, there was white gas filling the hall, and people were very surprised by this. When he grew up, Shi Jingjiao had a calm and tranquil temperament. is not smiling, likes to study the art of war, and is a brain-dead fan of Li Mu and Zhou Yafu.

When Li Siyuan was the assassin of Daizhou. I liked him very much, so I married my beloved daughter to him as my wife. With the relationship between the old man and the father-in-law. Shi Jingjiao commanded Li Cunqiao's personal guard cavalry, known as the "Three Expeditions".

February 916. Liu Cheng led the army to assault Qingping, the soldiers came to the city, Li Cunqiao rushed from Ganling, the army has not yet set up a formation, it was caught off guard by Liu Jun, at the time of the crisis, Shi Jingjiao led more than a dozen cavalry Hengge deep into the enemy formation, rushing east and west, such as entering no one's land, no one dared to stop the Liang army, Shi Jingjiao finally returned with a big victory, Li Cunqiao was very happy, stroked his back and said: "The general is a strong general, this is good." ”

So he rewarded him with money and goods, and personally gave him crisp food, at that time, giving crisp food is like now Tibetans like to put a hata around people's neck, which is a great honor, and Shi Jingjiao is famous for this time. In the second year, Liu Cheng lined up in the northwest of Xincheng, and Li Siyuan followed Li Cunqiao to fight fiercely.

Soon, Li Cunqiao and Li Siyuan were both caught in the formation, and at the critical moment, it was Shi Jingjiao who stood up and waved his sword, tossing and turning and fighting hard, running back and forth for dozens of miles, before driving Liu Cheng to the east of the old Yuan City.

In 918, the Later Tang Army captured Yangliu Town, near Tianshi Mountain, Li Siyuan was chased and killed by He Gui's ambush army, at this time, Yushi Jingjiao rushed out again, for the old man Li Siyuan Palace, killed more than 500 cavalry of the Liang army, only to tighten the reins of the horse, and returned slowly.

In December of the same year, Li Cunqiao and the Later Liang army started a major battle in Huliupi, and the left army led by the governor Zhou Dewei lost due to the mixed Yan people, and Zhou Dewei died in battle.

Li Cunmiao led 5,000 infantry and held on to the high hill to avoid the elite attack of the Liang army. At this time, Li Siyuan led the right army to hide under the dirt mountain, turned back to Shi Jingjiao and said: "The Liang army is the first to profit, and the banner is strictly arranged, what strategy can be used to thwart them?" ”

Shi Jingjiao said: "After the arrival of the moon, the weather is cold, and if you stretch out your hand, you will freeze your fingers, they have a large number of infantry, and it is easy to advance and difficult to retreat, so it is better for us to drag them down slowly, and then wait for the opportunity to attack."

Besides, they have many infantry and few cavalry, and the battle cannot be neatly integrated, and our army can break them in one fell swoop, and victory is in sight. ”

After hearing this, Li Siyuan was greatly encouraged and said: "I think so too. After the sun set, the Liang army lined up in the plains, fifty or sixty thousand people formed a phalanx, commanding the mobile cavalry to approach the Tang army, Shi Jingjiao shouted to his subordinates: "The enemy is about to flee." ”

So he led the soldiers to surround the Liang army, and ordered 300 people of the left archery army to run and shoot arrows, and gradually closed the encirclement, and then used thousands of cavalry to cooperate with the action.

At night, one corner of the Liang army was the first to be defeated, and the other three sides were also defeated, and the corpses of the Liang army were all over the field, the armor was all over the ground, the soldiers collided, and the rumbling sound was endless, and the Later Liang power was seriously weakened after that.

In October 921, Shi Jingjiao fought against the Liang army at Deshengdu with Li Siyuan, defeated the Liang general Dai Siyuan, and killed more than 20,000 enemies.

In 922, the two sides fought in Hulutao, and the Tang army gradually retreated, and at the critical moment, Shi Jingjiao faced the elite of the enemy army, drew his long sword, killed a bloody path, and stuck it around Li Siyuan like a dog skin plaster to protect him and withdraw from the siege, and the Liang army looked at him dryly, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.

In October 923, Shi Jingjiao followed Li Siyuan to observe the Liang army's position in Yangcun Village lightly, and suddenly the Liang army ambushed and killed, covering Li Siyuan, and when the blade was about to stab Li Siyuan's back, Shi Jingjiao rushed up with a halberd in his hand, and struck hard, and several Liang soldiers suddenly rolled down from their horses, and Li Siyuan was saved from death.

Soon, Li Cunqiao was proclaimed emperor in Yecheng. Sent Li Siyuan's lone army to attack Yunzhou in depth, and Shi Jingjiao led fifty cavalry to follow Li Siyuan across Jishui. Raided the east gate and entered the city, and the Yunzhou soldiers came to block it. Shi Jingjiao was stabbed with a knife, but he still forgot to protect Li Siyuan, and soon the Tang army occupied Yuncheng, and then the Tang army pacified Bianshui, destroyed Houliang, and achieved the great cause of Li Cunmiao to dominate the world.

In February of the fourth year of Tongguang (926), Zhao Zaili rebelled in Yezhou, and Li Cunqiao appointed Li Siyuan to quell the rebellion, and Shi Jingjiao went with the army. After arriving, the rebel army coerced and lured both soft and hard to ask Li Siyuan to proclaim himself emperor in Hebei.

Li Siyuan pretended to accept the advice, and then planned to make a statement to Li Cunqiao in person. On the way to the west, Shi Jingjiao said to Li Siyuan: "Determination will lead to success, hesitation will lead to defeat, where are the generals and rebels who enter the city and be safe in the future?"

Daliang is the key place in the world, and I hope to borrow 300 cavalry to capture Daliang first. If you're lucky, you'll be able to drive in with a large army, and only then will you be able to protect yourself. ”

Li Siyuan thought so. After arriving in Xiangzhou, he gave Shi Jingjiao 300 cavalry, and sent Shi Jingjiao to cross the Yellow River in Liyang and enter the city through the west gate of Biancheng. Then take the city, and then that's it.

Meanwhile. Li Cunmiao also led the army to the northwest five miles away from Biancheng, Li Cunmiao climbed the high city and sighed: "I can't achieve great things!" Then the soldiers who followed him broke up in large numbers. Then Li Siyuan sent Shi Jingjiao as a striker. It didn't take long to rush to Bishui Pass. Li Cunqiao died in the civil strife. In the same month, Li Siyuan entered Luoyang and ascended the throne.

Soon Bianzhou Jiedu made Zhu Shouyin rebel, and Shi Jingjiao led his own army to quell the rebellion and captured the city in one fell swoop.

In order to commend Shi Jingjiao's merits, Li Siyuan named Shi Jingjiao as the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, the commander-in-chief of the Ma Bu Army of the Guards and the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army.

In April of the third year of Tiancheng (928), Li Siyuan returned to Luoyang, and Li Siyuan ordered Shi Jingjiao to be the master of the school, the Pingzhangshi of the Tongzhong Shumen, the Xingtang Yin, and Ye Du to stay behind, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army, and the captain of the horse.

In February of the first year of Changxing (930), Li Siyuan went to the southern suburbs of Yuanqiu to worship the heavens, and added Shi Jingjiao as the captain of the school, and increased the number of food by 500 households, and then ordered Shi Jingjiao to go back to take office. In September, Dong Zhang rebelled, and the imperial court ordered Shi Jingjiao to recruit envoys for the camp capital of Dongchuan and take charge of the affairs of the Dongchuan government.

In October, Shi Jingjiao arrived from Wei Bo and led his army to the west. In the spring of the second year, due to the difficulty of the Shu Road and the inability to supply grain transportation, Li Siyuan ordered the class to return to the court.

In June, he was reappointed as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, and still held the military power. Throughout the period of Li Siyuan, Shi Jingjiao can be described as hot, steady progress, if the throne is not enthroned by Li Siyuan's direct descendants, then Shi Jingjiao has every chance to get a glimpse of the treasure, and the heavens do not fulfill their wishes, the throne was seized by Li Congke.

After Li Congke ascended the throne, his name was decided, and Shi Jingjiao had no choice but to go to Beijing to worship, and after burying Li Siyuan, he did not dare to propose to return to the town.

At that time, Shi Jingjiao was very weak after a long illness, and the Empress Dowager Cao and the princess of Wei (mother-in-law and wife) interceded for him several times and asked him to return to the town. And the generals from Fengxiang persuaded Li Congke to detain him in Luoyang, only Han Zhaoyin and Li Zhuanmei thought that Xuanwu Jiedu made Zhao Yanshou in Bianliang and approached Luodu, in order to avoid Zhao Yanshou's suspicions, he should not be suspicious of Shi Jingjiao.

Li Congke also saw that Shi Jingjiao was thin and weak, and didn't take him too seriously, so he said: "Shi Lang is not only a close relative, but also he has experienced hardships with me since he was a child. Now that I'm the Son of Heaven, who else can I rely on if I don't rely on Shilang! ”

He still appointed him as the envoy of the Hedong Festival. After Shi Jingjiao returned to the town, he felt that he was lucky to come back this time, and Li Congke would not let him go in the end, so he arranged eyeliner to secretly investigate Li Congke. At the same time, he often claimed to be sick and weak in front of the guests, hoping that the court would not be suspicious of him.

At that time, the Khitan frequently invaded the northern border, and most of the forbidden troops guarding it were fortified in Youzhou and Bingzhou (Hedong), and Shi Jingjiao and Zhao Dejun both asked the imperial court to increase troops and transport grain, day and night.

Shi Jingjiao led a large army to garrison Xinzhou, and the imperial court sent envoys to reward the soldiers with summer clothes, and spread an edict to comfort them, and the soldiers shouted long live many times.

Shi Jingjin was afraid, and his staff asked to kill those who took the lead in calling, and Shi Jingjin ordered Liu Zhiyuan to behead Li Hui and other thirty-six people as a declaration of this matter.

When Li Congke heard about these circumstances, he was even more suspicious of Shi Jingjiao.

On the twenty-third day of the first month of 936, Li Congke held a banquet on his birthday, and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom congratulated her on her birthday, and asked her to return to Jinyang. At that time, Li Congke was drunk and said with a big grin: "Why don't you stay for a while, and rush back to help Shilang rebel!" ”

The speaker was unintentional, the hearer was intentional, and after Shi Jingjiao heard it, he was even more afraid. Shi Jingjiao collected all his property in Luoyang and Zhudao and sent it to Jinyang, saying that it was to fund military spending, but people knew that he had different ambitions and planned to start an incident.

Li Congke consulted with his close ministers at night and said: "Shi Lang is my closest relative, there is nothing to suspect, but rumors are always continuing, what should I do if I lose peace with him?" ”

None of the ministers answered. In the middle of the Duanming Palace, Li Song retreated and said to his colleague Lu Qi: "We people are all deeply gracious, how can we equate ourselves with everyone else and wait and see, what can we think of now?" ”

Lü Qi said: "If there are other plans in Hedong, they will inevitably collude with the Khitan as aid." The Khitan Empress Dowager repeatedly asked for peace because his eldest son Li Zanhua surrendered to China, but their request for the release of the Empress Dowager was unsuccessful.

Now, if we can really release the people to negotiate peace with them, and give them about 100,000 yuan a year, they will surely happily agree.

If this is done, then although Hedong is stupid, there is nothing he can do. Li Song said: "What you say is the same as what I think.

However, the money and grain had to be spent from the three divisions, and it was necessary to further discuss with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng. The two told Zhang Yanlang about the matter, and Zhang Yanlang said: "According to the bachelor's plan, it can not only restrain Hedong, but also save nine-tenths of the cost of garrisoning.

It doesn't get any better than that. If the Lord listens to this advice, he only needs to instruct the old man to do it, and he can collect it outside the state treasury for his use. So, the two secretly stated this method to Li Congke,

Li Congke was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that the two were loyal. After some time, Li Congke told Xue Wenyu, a privy councilor, about this, and Xue Wenyu replied: "Isn't it too shameful to stoop down to serve the Yidi savages with the respect of the Son of Heaven!"

Furthermore, if the Hu Lu sought to marry the princess and his relatives according to the old practice, what would he use to reject them? Then he recited the "Zhaojun Poems" by Tang Rong Yu and said: "The safety is entrusted to the woman." Hearing him say this, the male hormones in Li Congke's body were mobilized, how could a man stand between heaven and earth if he couldn't protect his wife and children?

So, Li Song and Lu Qi were urgently summoned to the back building, and their attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and they rebuked them: "You people all know history, and you want to assist the Lord to achieve peace in the world, why do you have such a bad idea now!" (To be continued......)
