Chapter 47 [Tempest 25]

In the Mingzong period, Mingzong wanted to arrange for him to be a festival envoy. An Chongzhu, a privy envoy and head of the Central Organization Department, was very unhappy and said coldly that there was no shortage of people. A few days later, Mingzong looked for Lao An again. Old Ampi said with a smile, only the privy envoy can arrange this position. Mingzong knew that Lao An gave him nails to eat, and he was a little annoyed, but it was inconvenient to get angry, so he said lightly, what do you say. An Chongzhu could not answer. This thing can be known that An Chongzhi has great power. An reinstated himself laid the foundation for his later killing.

Now let's talk about Jiang Yin, who has a similar background and experience to Kong Xun. Jiang Ying is Wang Chongying's adopted son, and Zhu Wen likes him very much. The Tang capital moved to Luoyang, and he was appointed as the envoy of the Xuanhui Northern Court. This position is very powerful. At this time, Zhaozong had been killed, and Empress Dowager He was still there. He and Kong Xun had a conflict with the privy envoy Jiang Xuanhui, looking for an opportunity to eliminate political enemies. In order to bring down his political enemies, he framed Jiang Xuanhui in front of Zhu Wen and said that Jiang Xuanhui served the Empress Dowager He in private, and also asked Zhang Tingfan to ask the Son of Heaven to mourn the emperor Bujiao and pray for heaven, and waited for the help of other princes to seek revival.

Zhu Wen's dream of being an emperor is already about to come out, and he can't wait so much? When Zhu Wen heard Kong Xun's provocation, he was furious. At that time, Zhu Wen's troops were defeated by Li Cunqiao in Shouchun, Anhui, and Zhu Wen was on fire. Emperor Wai didn't know the current affairs, so he sent a person named Pei Di to comfort him, and Zhu Wen felt that Emperor Wai laughed at him, and he was even more angry. Emperor Wai is like a useless father and mother, in front of the rebel, trying his best to bluff the child. This rebel may be a drug addict or a networm, not only your heart and liver, but also your life. Emperor Wai hurriedly sealed the king of Wei to Zhu Wen and prepared Jiuxi. Juwen did not accept it. In addition, Liu Can and Jiang Xuanhui both went to see Zhu Wen and explained to him. Since ancient times, the king has prospered, and he must first seal the country. Don did not abdicate. It's because you haven't sealed the country yet, and you haven't prepared nine tin. Zhu Wen is a bandit by origin. is an expert in killing people and overselling goods, where will the white knife go in and the red knife out? He doesn't need this set at all? There are only a few nerds, and something from ancient times. He said loudly, don't seal the country, don't want Jiuxi, who can do anything to him as the Son of Heaven?

Jiuxi is a nine-kind ritual vessel given by the ancient emperor to the princes and ministers with special merits. These ritual vessels are usually used only by the Son of Heaven. The formal significance of the reward is greater than the use value. For example, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao and Huan Xuan have all been given nine tin by the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Wen's bandit spirit was so frightened that Liu Can's urine was pulled in his crotch, and he looked sad and hurriedly retreated. Kong Xun and Wang Yin knew that Liu Can was deflated. snickering. Without standing on tiptoe, he hurriedly ran to Zhu Wen to provoke. Zhu Wen was furious, and took out the style of the gangsters on Dangshan Street. Frightened, Emperor Wai's hands and feet were cold, his eyes were straight, and he quickly gave up Bu Jiao's preparations. Empress Dowager He once cried to Jiang Xuanhui that after King Liang ascended the throne, please take care of the children and mothers of the Tang family. Zhu Wen asked Kong Xun and Wang Yin to kill Empress Dowager He, and then killed Liu Can and Jiang Xuanhui.

The Shouchun mentioned above is in Lu'an City, Anhui. There is a history in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Xie An defeated Fu Jian's battle of Huangshui. The story of "all the grass and trees are soldiers" on Bagong Mountain happened here. There is also the story of Xun Yu after he was killed by Cao Cao (doubtful case). Shouchun's flower drum opera is also famous.

Zhu Wen sent Kong Xun and Wang Yin to kill Liu Can, Jiang Xuanhui, and Zhang Tingfan. The story of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches in the back is performed again. By the way, when Jiang Ying was in the late Emperor of Liang, he was defeated and burned to death. It can also be regarded as a response to the sentence that it is not good to die.

In April 907, Zhu Wen was ostensibly persuaded by Tang Prime Minister Zhang Wenwei and hundreds of officials to proclaim himself emperor in Bianzhou. Changed his name to Zhu Huang, the national name Daliang. The historian distinguishes it from Xiao Liang of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Call it the rear beam. Bianjing is the eastern capital, and Luoyang is the western capital. Emperor Wai was demoted to the king of Jiyin. He was imprisoned in Caozhou, Shandong, and was killed in the first month of the following year and buried in Shandong. Chang'an was reduced to a state, and Kaifeng was promoted to a government. This rise and fall, Chang'an, the northwest indicator light, was dimmed, and she no longer had her due historical status. Zhu Wen has Zhu Wen in history, nicknamed Zhu San, Zhu Quanzhong, and Zhu Huang.

Zhang Wenwei was a jinshi in the Zhaozong period and wrote good articles. At that time, the world was in turmoil, the Son of Heaven was incompetent, the country was weak, and the system was broken. When Zhaozong arrived in Luoyang, he accompanied him and served as the prime minister. Liu Can cooperated with Zhu Wen to persecute the virtuous, killed the left servant (read the servant)) Pei Shu and other thirty ministers, and created the "White Horse Post Disaster" that shocked the whole country. The servant shot is the prime minister, there are left and right servant shots, and the status is second only to Shangshu. Pei Shu is a Wenxi person in Shanxi, and he originally had a good relationship with Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen was "a brother". Zhaozong returned to the capital from Huazhou, and he was demoted to Lingnan for offending the imperial court. After being rescued by Zhu Wen, he stayed and continued to serve as prime minister.

At the same time, Zhu Wen persecuted the courtiers at will and killed them at every turn. Zhang Wenwei used his position and influence to protect many courtiers. Zhu Wen usurped power, he was still the prime minister, ruling the article system. Zhu Wen toured the north, he stayed in Luoyang, Xijing, and suddenly fell ill and died.

The "Scourge of the White Horse" occurred in 906, when Juwen had not yet sat on the throne of the dragon. Why is this happening? It turned out to be like this: Zhu Wen wanted his favorite Zhang Tingfan to be too Changqing and send someone to do the work of Prime Minister Pei Shu. After all, Pei Shu is the prime minister, and he thinks a lot about the imperial court, and he thinks that the position of Taichangqing has always been given to Qingliu by the imperial court. Qingliu is a well-known scholar of high moral character. Zhang Tingfan is just a guest secretary, with neither fame nor good reputation, and no qualifications. So he said to the people who came, General Zhang's military achievements are great, and he is an envoy outside, I'm afraid it is not the meaning of the boss. He doesn't sign.

Zhu Wen wanted to insert one of his own, but was resisted by the prime minister and was very angry. This Dangshan hooligan has a big temper and said angrily, he usually thinks that Pei Shu is honest and kind, not frivolous, but now he is like this! Liu Can, a fallen brother who has no line to read, saw what Zhu Wen meant, and asked the relevant departments to arrest the left servant Pei Shu and Dugu Loss, the right servant Cui Yuan, the military department squire Wang Zan, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wang Pu (reading Pu), the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Lu Yan (reading clothes), and the retired Taibao Zhao Chong, who died in the White Horse Station on the same day. Then, all those who usually did not have close contacts with Zhu Wen's group were murdered by fabricating charges, derogatory accusations, and murder. Hundreds of people were killed, and almost none of the Tang Dynasty ministers were killed.

Dugu is a native of Nanyang, Henan, and a fellow villager of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Nanyang is one of the six ancient capitals of the Western Han Dynasty and is known as the "Imperial Township". Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu You, the strategist of Cao Cao in the "Battle of Guandu" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Wei generals Deng Ai and Wen Ping, Shu generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Deng Zhi. There are also Zhang Zhongjing, an expert from the National University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Zhang Heng, an astronomer who made an "armillary sphere". Xi Jinping's ancestral home is also in Nanyang. Even Zhuge Liang, a great loyal minister and great wisdom, also went from Shandong to Nanyang to be a farmer.

Ouyang Xiu scolded Zhang Wenwei and others in "The History of the New Five Dynasties": The death of Tang is also. The wise men and gentlemen are all cowardly, cunning, and traitors who seek profit and betray the country. Otherwise, An Neng would be ashamed to endure such humiliation to Liang Ting!

Ouyang Xiu unceremoniously took Zhang Wenwei, Yang She, Zhang Ce, Zhao Guangfeng, Xue Yiju, and Su Xun as a chapter to explain to future generations how they "poured danger and cunning, profited and betrayed the country".

Yang Shi was the grandson of Yang Shu, the prime minister of the Tang Yizong period. Yang Shui was persecuted by the traitor Lu Yan and died at the post station, and was verified by cutting his Adam's apple. This has already been said in the chapter of Yizong. Yang Shi was a jinshi in the Zhaozong period, a scholar of the ministry, and worshiped the emperor when he mourned the emperor. Because the Yang family's family style was famous in the Tang Dynasty, his father was a squire in the military department. "The Law of Etiquette". On the day Yang She's visit, he went home and cried, telling everyone that disaster was coming, and his family was affected. Later, in the court of Zhu Wen, he was also the prime minister and reigned for three years. Because I felt unclean, I didn't have any brilliance, and I didn't do anything. He passed away a few years later. Ouyang Xiu was the most polite to him when he narrated these six people.

Zhang Ce was a native of Dunhuang, Hexi, and was very smart when he was young. When he was thirteen years old, his father circled the well. Dig up a tripod. It reads, "In the spring and February of the first year of Wei Huangchu, the craftsman was auspicious". He said that the Han Dynasty was established for twenty-five years. Cao Gong died, and the Yuan Yankang was changed. October of this year. Emperor Wen received Zen and changed to Huang Chu. There was no February in the first year of the Huang Dynasty. The inscription is wrong. At a young age, he remembers this period of history clearly, and he can be regarded as a prodigy. His father was astonished. He was originally a monk in the temple and practiced in Chang'an Ci'en Temple for a long time. During the Huangchao Uprising, he returned to the countryside with his parents and farmed for more than ten years. When fleeing from Chang'an, he fled with his maid and his mother in the heavy snow. Later, he also became a courtier of Zhu Wen and got on a thief ship.

Zhao Guangfeng is very talented, Zhaozong was Hanlin and wrote edicts, but unfortunately he also got on Zhu Wen's thief ship, became the prime minister, and was crowned the Duke of Qi.

Xue Yiju is a Wenxi person in Hedong, that is, in the south of Shanxi, there have been countless prime ministers and generals in that place, it is said that there are fifty-nine prime ministers and fifty-nine generals, and Wenxi people are still proud of this. Xue Yiju can paint, and once painted a portrait of the lieutenant eunuch Han Quanzhu, taking the opportunity to befriend the eunuch and profit from it. Zhaozong returned to Chang'an from Fengxiang, who had stayed for three years, and Zhu Wen killed the eunuchs. He was degraded, unwilling to be a small people, silent in an ignorant life. Later, he waited for an opportunity to hook up with Zhu Wen, hugged these thighs, bribed heavily, and was highly touted, and was strongly recommended by Zhu Wen as the secretary of the ministry. He made a lot of articles on Zhu Wen's usurpation of power, betrayed the Tang Dynasty, betrayed his conscience, and sold his soul. When Zhu Wen came back from the Battle of Changlu, Emperor Wai asked him to comfort Zhu Wen, and he saluted Zhu Wen as a courtier. He was like a pug, flattering Zhu Wen and asking Zhu Wen to become emperor as soon as possible. Ouyang Xiu's disgusting face of this person is recorded as follows: Taizu made a gesture and walked to the steps, he said, "Your Majesty's merits and people, the three spirits have changed their divination, and the emperor has done Shunyao's affairs, and the ministers dare to disobey?" After speaking, "Worship and dance". After returning, he urged Emperor Wai to give way quickly. Putting on airs! Later, he paid homage to the prime minister and died five years later. If Wen Xiren had such an ancestor, he might not be happy.

Su Xun is a "clever person, sycophant and shameless, and profit-oriented". When he was in Zhaozong, he served as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Zhaozong was killed, and the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty were very "hateful and gnashing their teeth, or avoiding the head and fearing disaster". Some did not leave the court as a second minister, but he attached himself to Zhu Wen and hoped very much to be promoted. At this time, the Liang soldiers attacked Yang Xingmi and were defeated, and Zhu Wen returned to the army, impetuous, and anxious to mourn the emperor's throne. He wanted to invite Jiuxi, "the ministers don't dare to discuss", even people like Liu Can, Jiang Xuanhui, and Zhang Tingfan didn't say it. Only he said, "King Liang's merits, the destiny of heaven, should be Zen." The following year, Zhu Wen was proclaimed emperor, and he served as the deputy envoy of the canonization ceremony, and the envoy was Zhang Wenwei.

He had a son named Kai, who did things for people, and he was simply copied from a photocopier. I was admitted to the Jinshi and was admitted by my father's relationship. Zhaozong looked down on this person very much, and instructed Prime Minister Lu Yan to remove Su Kai's name. Su Kai held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. Zhaozong was killed, and the power of the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen used him as a living room, and the living room was a historian. By the way, if such a person is a historian, can history still be believed? He colluded with Liu Can and Zhang Tingfan, and was very crazy in the imperial court. He told Zhang Tingfan that Zhaozong's nickname should be changed, "Zhao", which is not worthy of the name. You are Tai Changqing, he is a historian, I can't help but say it!

So he went to the book. Zhang Tingfan originally had a holiday with Pei Shu, an old minister of the Tang Dynasty, during his time as Taichangqing, so he was very resentful of the imperial court. Zhang Kai wrote: The deacon is strong and respectful, the chaos is not damaged for the spirit, the martial force is not successful, the country is in trouble for Min, and the meritorious is for Xiang. The temple name of Zhaozong was changed to Xiang, and it was called Emperor Gongling Zhuang Min.

Zhu Wen seized the throne and held a grand celebration meeting in the Xuande Palace, inviting everyone to drink. Zhu Wen made a report at the conference and said some "modest" words, saying that he had not done enough and could not be so important to everyone. It's all the work of everyone to be able to do this today, Yunyun. Yang Shi and Zhang Wenwei were full of circular letters, and they were so ashamed that they lowered their heads and didn't say a word, not daring to look at their colleagues. Only Su Xun, Zhang Yi and Xue Yijusheng raised their hands many times, rushing to speak, saying how great Zhu Wen's merits were, and how great he was, and he was a leader who responded to the heavens, etc., etc.

Zhang Yi is a native of Nanyang, and during the Zhaozong period, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Taichangqing, and later served as a squire of the Ministry of War. This position is an important minister of the imperial court, who has taken Li Tang's high salary and enjoys the treatment of the minister of the imperial court, but he stepped on Li Tang's heels!

Su Xun's father and son sharpened their heads every day to attach Zhu Wen, doing everything, hoping to be promoted. Although Lao Chen Jingxiang himself got his feet into a pile of shit, he still hated this pair of dog father and son very much. said to Zhu Wen that the Liang family was newly created, and people with good conduct should be selected as courtiers to promote virtue and customs. This father and son are both incapable people, and they can't be embarrassed in the court.

So, Zhu Wen drove their father and son out of the capital and went to the countryside.

Later, they found Zhu Youqian in the river and attached themselves to him. Later, Zhu Youqian rebelled against Liang and stood in Li Cunqiao's camp. Li Cunmiao ascended the throne and looked for the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Youqian asked Su Xun to go to Weizhou to see Li Cunqiao. Zhu Youqian must have been bribed by him, otherwise he wouldn't have known about the father and son! At this time, Liang had not yet been extinguished, and the Jin generals didn't want Li Cunqiao to be the son of heaven, especially Zhang Chengye. (To be continued......)
