When Yuan Shao sent an envoy to summon him, Jia Xu persuaded him: 'The father and son of the Yuan family are incompatible with each other, how can they be kind to the talents of the world?

Cao Gong is now holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes, he has great ambitions, and he does not make enemies of others with personal grudges, you should not doubt him. ’

The prince should not suspect King Liang, how could he harm a loyal and virtuous person like you because of personal grudges! "Li Zhen is worthy of being a generation of strategists,

This metaphor could not be more appropriate, Zhu Wen is Cao Cao who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes,

Wang Shifan is Zhang Xiu, who has repeatedly opposed Cao Cao, and Li Zhen himself is the strategist Jia Xu.

These words stunned Wang Shifan for a moment, thinking that I am willing to be Zhang Xiu,

So the next day, he led the whole family to move out. Zhu Wen then praised Li Zhen as the queen of Qingzhou, and after handling some aftermath matters, he summoned him back to his side.

Wang Shifan's family left Pinglu and moved west to Bianzhou. When Wang Shifan passed through Puyang, he changed into plain clothes and rode a donkey to show humility. After he arrived in Bianzhou, Zhu Wen still treated him as a courtesy and appointed him as the envoy of the Heyang Festival.

After Zhu Quanzhong ascended the throne, Wang Shifan was recalled to Luoyang from Heyang as the general of Jinwu. After Zhu Wen made many sons and nephews kings,

Zhu Youning's wife cried to him: "Your Majesty has turned your family into a country, and the clan has been honored, but only the husband of the concubine has suffered misfortune and has died on the battlefield due to Wang Fanfan's rebellion. Now this mortal enemy is still alive, and the concubine is very heartbroken! Juwen said, "I almost forgot about this thief!" ”

He sent an envoy to Luoyang to destroy Wang Shifan's entire clan. The envoy arrived in Luoyang, dug a large pit in the ground, and then read Zhu Wen's edict.

Wang Shifan set up a big feast and sat with his clansmen. He said, "Death is unavoidable, let alone sinful!" I don't want our corpses to be scattered in a disorderly manner. "After the feast began. He ordered his people to be taken to the pit for execution, starting with the youngest.

About 200 people, including Wang Shifan himself and his brothers Wang Shizhu and Wang Shiyue, died in the disaster. Maybe Wang Shifan didn't understand one thing until he died, Cao Cao was a cultural person. How can Zhu Wen, a scoundrel, be compared to Cao Cao.

Jing Xiang Zhao Kuangning

Zhao Kuangning, Ziguangyi, a native of Caizhou. In his early years, his father, Zhao Dexu, had followed the Caizhou Jiedu envoy Qin Zongquan and was appointed as the assassin of Shenzhou. After Huang Chao's death,

Qin Zongquan proclaimed himself emperor in Caizhou, and then recruited troops and horses, and ran rampant in the Central Plains. Become the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Festival. Later, Zhu Wen led his troops to attack Caizhou, Qin Zongquan was repeatedly defeated, and Zhao Dexuan saw that the situation was not good.

It was the land of the seven states of Shannan Dongdao that was surrendered to Zhu Wen, and he was appointed as the deputy commander of the camp on all sides of Caizhou, and the marching Sima of the three towns of Heyang, Baoyi and Yichang. After Zhao Dexuan's death, Zhao Kuangning took over.

In 897, Zhu Wen attacked Yanzhou, and Zhu Jin asked Li Keyong for help.

Li Keyong sent a fierce general Shi Yan to the rescue. As a result, not only did he fail to save Zhu Jin, but he also made a big mistake himself. There was no way to return to the north, so Shi Yan and Zhu Jin went south to take refuge in Yang Xingmi, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. Something happened to the younger brother.

If you are a big brother, you have to find a way to get people out. So Li Keyong sent someone to send money to Zhao Kuangning, hoping to lend him a way so that Shi Yan could come back. Zhao Kuangning thought for a moment. You can't make money if you put the road there, and it won't be bad to borrow a road for him to walk. You can also collect money,

Why not. So I agreed. No, the envoy was caught by Zhu Wen when he returned to Taiyuan with his reply letter, and after reading the letter, Zhu Wen was furious, thinking that Zhao Kuangning and Li Keyong had already colluded. In black and white, the explanation is that the explanation is not clear,

Just after in 898, Zhao Kuangning heard that Pang Shigu had lost the battle in Qingkou, so he pushed away the loser Zhu Wen with one hand, and then threw himself into the arms of Yang Xingmi, the victor of the war. New hatred and old hatred, Zhu Wen was furious, so he ordered the generals Shu Cong and Kang Huaiying to attack Zhao Kuangning. Shi Shucong conquered Mi and Sui Erzhou, and Zhao Fan, the assassin of Mizhou, surrendered,

Zhao Kuanglin, the assassin of Suizhou, was captured. Kang Huaiying occupied Dengzhou, Zhao Kuangning was terrified and asked for reconciliation, and Zhu Wen called the army and made peace.

At that time, Jingnan Jiedu made Cheng Wei die in battle, Langzhou assassin Shi Lei Yangong attacked Jingnan, Zhao Kuangning sent his brother Zhao Kuangming to lead troops to expel Lei Yangong, Zhu Wen then appointed Zhao Kuangning as the envoy of Jingxiang Jiedu, with Zhao Kuangming as Jingnan's queen.

After Zhu Wen killed Tang Zhaozong, Zhao Kuangning wept bitterly and said to the envoy: "Accept Tang Enshen, don't dare to be arrogant." Zhu Wen knew that the Zhao Kuangning brothers and himself had never been of the same mind, and they would have endless troubles in the future.

In the second year of Tianyou (905), Zhu Wen finally made a move, and he ordered Yang Shihou to lead the front army to the crusade on the grounds that Zhao Kuangning was in close contact with Yang Xing in the east and married Wang Jian in the west, and he led the army to follow closely behind. Yang Shihou, a native of Anhui, worked under Li Hanzhi when he was young. Although Yang Shihou is very brave, he can't be reused by Li Hanzhi, and he is just an inconspicuous soldier. In 884, Li Hanzhi was attached to Li Keyong. Li Keyong asked Li Hanzhi for troops. Li Hanzhi gave more than 100 soldiers to Li Keyong, including Yang Shihou.

Soon, Yang Shihou fled to Zhu Wen, who attached great importance to talents, and instead of treating him as garbage, he also appointed him as the assassin of Caozhou.

soon

Yang Shihou captured Xiang, Tang, Deng, Fu, Ying, Sui, Jun, and Fang Bazhou. Zhu Wen camped on the north bank of the Han River, Yang Shihou made a pontoon bridge at the mouth of the Yin Valley on the fifth day of September, and led the troops to cross the Han River on the seventh day of the first month.

On the eighth day of the first month, Zhao Kuangning led 20,000 troops to meet the battle on the bank of the Han River, and was defeated by Yang Shihou's army, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded, Zhao Kuangning retreated to Xiangyang, and then defected to Guangling along the Han River. On the 16th, Yang Shihou attacked Guangling,

Jing Nanya surrendered Wang Jianwu. Zhao Kuangning fled to Huainan. Then Yang Shihou attacked Jingzhou again, and Zhao Kuangming was unable to gain a foothold on his own, so he also planned to flee to Huainan.

But his son Zhao Chenggui pointed out that if he also went to Huainan, the brothers would get together, and Yang Xingmi would inevitably be suspicious. So Zhao Kuangming switched to Xichuan. Wang Jian treated him as a guest of honor and appointed him as the envoy of the Wuxin Army. Later, Wang Jianjian was called the emperor of Shu before construction,

Zhao Kuangming was used as Dali Qing and the Ministry of Industry. Later, Zhao Kuangming died in Chengdu.

After Zhao Kuangning was defeated, he ran to Yang Xingmi in a light boat. Because Zhao Kuangning was loyal, Yang Xingmi also respected him and met him well.

After Yang Xingmi's death, Yang Xingmi's son Yang Wu didn't treat him very well. Yang Wu likes to eat green plums. Once, when a banquet was held. After eating there endlessly, Zhao Kuangning said to him: "Don't eat too much." Fever in children. Yang Wu thought it was an insult to him,

So he moved it to Hailing, and later after the general Xu Wen took control of the Wu state, Zhao Kuangning still had a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, so he was killed.

XXIII. Founding of the State

Zhu Wen wanted to be the emperor, Jiang Xuanhui and Prime Minister Liu Can made the leader comfortable in order to do what he liked, so they flipped through the classics and looked for information.

Finally, I found a good way to successfully claim the emperor, that is, to follow the rules formed since the Han and Wei dynasties, first seal the great powers, then add nine tin, and then receive Zen.

Liu Can, the word shines, and is a native of Yongji, Shanxi. When I was a child, my family was poor, but he was very ambitious, and others compared to my parents. I compare myself to others, who make a living by chopping wood during the day and studying hard at night, and can't afford to light an oil lamp.

He didn't choose to dig through the wall to borrow light, because not only would he be destroying private property, but he would also be beaten up by his neighbor for accidentally seeing his little sister taking a bath.

He didn't lie on his stomach in the snow to read, because there weren't that many snowy days for him to show the snow. Instead, take a different path and pick up some leaves during the day. Burning leaves at night for lighting.

Fortunately, he did not cause a fire or die of carbon monoxide poisoning, and eventually became a very learned man, and was recommended as an official because of his brilliant interpretation of historical books. Tang Zhaozong also appreciated Liu Can very much and appointed him as a bachelor of Hanlin.

In 904, the prime minister Cui Yin was killed, and Tang Zhaozong awarded Liu Can to advise the doctor to the same Zhongshu Sect as a minister, and worship him as the prime minister, at this time, it was only four years before he began to be an official. Due to his humble background,

was promoted on a rocket, and Liu Can was often rejected by other ministers because of his junior qualifications. Later, he hoped to consolidate his position with the help of Zhu Wen's power, so he joined Zhu Wen's disciples.

In 905, a soothsayer suggested that Juwen carry out a massacre to avoid a natural disaster. Liu Can took the opportunity to make a list of more than 30 ministers who had excluded him, and Zhu Wen executed them all.

Later, the matter was regarded as an unjust prison, and Zhu Wen was very unhappy when he found out.

It is certainly justified to follow the precedent, but this is only for scholars, and for an old man like Zhu Wen, who is in a hurry to become an emperor, it is obviously a fart to take off his pants - an extra move.

At this time, Xuanhui's deputy envoys Wang Yin and Zhao Yinheng falsely accused Jiang Xuanhui and Liu Can, saying that they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty on weekdays, and that they were deliberately procrastinating and did not want Zhu Wen to be the emperor.

So Zhu Wen used this as an excuse to kill Jiang Xuanhui on December 13, and chased Jiang Xuanhui as a rebel against the people, and burned his body outside the city gate.

Wang and Zhao falsely accused Empress Dowager He of having an affair with Jiang Xuanhui, so on December 25, Zhu Wen killed the Empress Dowager in Jishan Palace and posthumously abolished the Empress Dowager as a concubine.

Later, Liu Can was also sent to the execution ground to be beheaded, and shouted when he was about to be executed: "Liu Can, the thief of the country, it is better to die!" ”

In December 906, the Jin and Yan armies attacked Luzhou at the same time.

Ding Hui, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, was originally angry because Zhu Wen killed Tang Zhaozong, so he simply took the opportunity to surrender to Li Keyong. Ding Hui's betrayal greatly reduced Zhu Wen's prestige,

He was afraid that there would be a chain reaction that would cause the other knots to rebel as well. At this time, Zhu Wen settled in Weibo due to illness, and Weibo made Luo Shaowei have a headache about it.

First, I was worried that Zhu Wen would live in Weibo for a long time, and the expenses would be huge and unaffordable, and second, I was afraid that Zhu Wen would be unhappy one day and kill himself.

So he said to Zhu Wen: "Now the Quartet is raising troops to rebel in the name of supporting the Tang family, and the king might as well destroy the Tang family as soon as possible, so that they all die of this heart." ”

Although Zhu Wen did not agree, he thought it was true, so he hurried back to Daliang with illness.

So, planned by Zhu Wen, after Emperor Zhaoxuan of Tang Zhao had to give up the throne to Zhu Wen several times, and Zhu Wen refused to accept the farce several times, in April of the fourth year of Tianyou (907),

After Zhu Wen was persuaded by Tang Prime Minister Zhang Wenwei and hundreds of officials, he was officially proclaimed emperor and renamed Zhu Huang. At the same time, the Yuan Kaiping was changed, the country name was Daliang, Bianzhou was promoted to Kaifeng Mansion, built as the eastern capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the western capital.

The 17-year-old Emperor Zhaoxuan was deposed as the king of Jiyin, and he was moved to Jiyin, Caozhou, where he was imprisoned.

And during this period, something happened that made Zhu Wen very unhappy. When Youji was preparing for a big gift in the front hall, Zhu Wen's eldest brother Zhu Quanyu saw it,

said to Zhu Wen: "Zhu San, can you really be the son of heaven?" After the ceremony, Zhu Wen held a banquet in the palace and drank and gambled with Zhu Quanyu. When I drink happily,

Zhu Quanyu took the dice and threw them into the basin. shouted Zhu Wen and said, "Zhu San, you are an ordinary person in Dangshan. The Son of Heaven asked you to be the envoy of the Four Towns Festival, what is there to be sorry for you?

If you destroy the Tang family for 300 years, I think you will definitely destroy the clan in the future, do you still need to gamble? Zhu Wen left the banquet unhappily. Zhu Quanyu also did not want to live in the capital for a long time, and often returned to his hometown of Dangshan to live.

At the time of the change of dynasty, there are always some people who are loyal to the previous dynasty and ashamed of the new dynasty, including both civil and military generals and ordinary people. There were both outsiders and close relatives of the emperor. These things have happened before and will continue to happen.

More than 1,000 years later, when Emperor Hongxian Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, it coincided with his cousin Yuan Shuzhen's 50-year-old birthday, so the eldest son of the old Yuan ordered Yuan Keding to go to Shandong with a generous gift to celebrate his birthday. At that time, Yuan Keding was busy with the imperial system and entrusted his fifth brother Yuan Kequan to go on his behalf.

Yuan Shuzhen heard that the old Yuan family in the capital came to give a birthday gift, but refused to receive it behind closed doors, and let people say: "My mother's family has no brother." There are no nephews. Yuan Kequan, who was full of joy and went to eat longevity noodles, touched his nose with ash,

was extremely depressed, and when he returned to the capital to tell the truth, Yuan Shikai and his son also wondered. Studied but cannot comprehend. Later, Yuan Shuzhen wrote a letter to Yuan Shikai,

There is no title for the upper and lower paragraphs. The content is to the effect that Yuan and Zhang are surnamed (Yuan Shuzhen married the son of Zhang Rumei, the governor of Shandong, as his wife), and he received Qing Grace. You are the president of the Republic of China on behalf of the Qing Dynasty,

The banner is democracy. Emperor today. Why did you see the Empress Dowager Longyu underground? Although Yun obeys the will of the people, in my opinion, you are a rebellious minister.

I read poetry and books when I was a child, and I know a little about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, please start today, you are the monarch, and I am willing to be the widow of the former Qing Dynasty. Yuan Shitong, the sixth elder of the Yuan family, is the youngest son of Yuan Shikai's biological father Yuan Baozhong.

Hearing that Yuan Shikai was going to be called the emperor, he ran to the capital angrily and said: "Even if the emperor is done, my brother is also a rebel minister of the Qing family, and an unworthy descendant of the Yuan family." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shikai did not listen to his advice, Yuan Laoliu and his sister Yuan Shuzhen published statements everywhere in the newspapers of Beijing and Tianjin: From now on, they will sever relations with Emperor Yuan. After returning to his hometown,

Yuan Lao Liu still did not give up, listed the 24 articles of Yuan Shikai's crimes, printed them as leaflets and distributed them around, and pulled up the banner, recruited troops, and appointed himself as the commander of the Yuan army.

When Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, got the information, he sent a secret telegram to Yuan Shikai asking for instructions on how to deal with it. Yuan Shikai laughed: "The sixth child has made a family revolution with me, no wonder Lao Zhang is helpless." Later, Yuan Shikai replied to Zhang Zhenfang and asked him to send troops to order him to disband, if he dared to disobey, he would be killed. Zhang Zhenfang held Yuan Shikai's hand and let Yuan Lao Liu read it,

Yuan Laoliu sneered and asked, "What will Zhang Dudu do with me?" A few days later, Yuan Shitong led hundreds of recruited soldiers to leave Henan and enter Shaanxi, and were later dismissed by Lu Jianzhang, the governor of Shaanxi.

Now that Zhu Wen is already the emperor, since one person has attained the Tao, the whole family can almost ascend to heaven.

So Feng brother Zhu Cunyu is the king of Guang, his son Zhu Youwen is the king of Bo, Zhu Youqi is the king of Ying, Zhu Youzhang is the king of Fu, Zhu Youzhen is the king of Jun, Zhu Youhui is the king of Jian, nephew Zhu Youliang is the king of Heng, Zhu Youneng is the king of Hui, and Zhu Youxu is the king of Shao.

The Privy Council was changed to the Chongzheng Yuan, the Taifu Qing Jingxiang was appointed as the envoy, and Han Jian, the envoy of the Pinglu Army, was appointed as the Situ, and the Pingzhang was the same as the Zhongshu Men. Then he pulled out the dead and sealed them up,

posthumously honored Zu Kao as the emperor, and Yan as the queen; Emperor Gaozu said Xuanyuan, the temple number was Suzu, and the ancestor Fan said Xuanyuan; Great-ancestor Mao Lin said Guangxian, the temple number respects the ancestor, and the ancestor Yang said Guangxiao; Zu Xin said Zhaowu, the temple number Xianzu, Zu Yan Liu said Zhaoyi; Kao Cheng said Wen Mu, the temple number Lie Zu, and the Wang family said Wen Hui.

The girder was built, but the jurisdiction was only one of today's Henan and Shandong provinces, most of Shaanxi and Hubei, and Hebei, Ningxia, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Anhui and other provinces.

Moreover, many of the former Tang Dynasty feudal towns were not recognized, and still used the Tang Dynasty era name. Needless to say, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, has always regarded Zhu Wen as a sworn enemy.

Wang Jian, the king of Shu, also proclaimed himself emperor in the same year and established the state of Shu.

Although Li Maozhen did not claim the title of emperor, he became the de facto emperor: he opened the palace of King Qi, set up hundreds of officials, used his residence as a palace, his wife was called the queen, and all kinds of honor guards were the same as the emperor.

Huainan Yang Wu also refused to admit it. There were also some separatist forces to express their submission, Zhu Wen then Jin sealed Ma Yin in Hunan as the king of Chu, Qian Bi who occupied Liangzhejiang as the king of Wuyue, Liu Yin in Guangdong as the king of Dapeng, and Wang Zhenzhi who occupied Fujian as the king of Fujian.

And the three towns of Hebei Zhenzhou Wang Rong as the king of Zhao, the king of Dingzhou is the king of Beiping, and Liu Shouguang of Youzhou is the king of Yan. But these forces have only nominally surrendered, and in fact they remain divided. (To be continued......)
