Chapter 46 [Tempest 24]

"History of the New Five Dynasties" records that when Zhaozong was still in Huazhou, he regretted going to Han Jian very much. He wrote a poem to Han Jian, hoping that Han Jian would do something for the imperial court. The title of the poem "Bodhisattva Barbarian", the four sentences of the chapter: "The wild smoke grows green trees, and the pedestrians go to Mo." There are heroes in Ande, welcome back to the Great Inner School. Words of sorrow are helpless, but a great deal of hope is overflowing. However, who is Han Jian? Zhaozong returned to Chang'an from Huazhou, and also painted a portrait of him, named him king, and gave him iron coupons. is so good to him, what is he like to Zhaozong to the imperial court?

"History of the New Five Dynasties" said that one day, Zhaozong invited Zhu Wen and Han Jian to dinner. At the banquet, Zhaozong raised his glass and said, the country is well-off, and the safety of the society depends on the two of you! Then Empress He raised her glass and toasted them. This would have been normal etiquette. However, Han Jian's thief stepped on Zhu Wen's foot. Zhu Wen was a thief, pretended to be drunk, and left. Han Jian immediately followed out and said to Zhu Wen, the Son of Heaven and the palace people are eye-catching, and there is a sound of soldiers fighting under the curtain, I am worried that you will not be able to avoid disaster! Betraying the master so brazenly was rare at that time and was despised. Zhu Wen was also grateful to him for this. Later, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, and Han Jian worshiped the prime minister. Later, Zhu Wen was killed, the Xuzhou army was in turmoil, and he was killed by the rebels. went to Zhaozong to report to him, and went to Zhu Wen in the underworld to flatter him, at the age of fifty-eight.

Therefore, the history books say that how he cares about Baixin in Huazhou is not a good official compared to being such a despicable person.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad

Let's talk about how Zhu Wen realized his dream of being the son of heaven when he arrived in Luoyang. When he arrived in Luoyang, Zhu Wen stole beams and changed pillars, killed people and goods, and killed more than 200 people around Zhaozong. Then replace them with cronies who look similar. Zhaozong didn't find out at first, and was fooled. I found out later. Sima Guang said with deep sympathy for Zhaozong: "Since Zhaozong is a Liang person from front to back"!

By June, the temperature in the Central Plains skyrocketed. Zhu Wen was extremely anxious. He was worried that Zhaozong would one day use Li Maozhen and Li Keyong to make a comeback, so he ordered his lackeys Zhu Yougong, Shi Shucong (Reading Cong) and Jiang Xuanhui to kill Zhaozong. Zhaozong was killed by Zhu Wen only two months after arriving in Luoyang.

Zhu Yougong and others killed Tang Zhaozong, Zhu Wen pretended to be surprised in front of the courtiers, cried loudly, squatted down with both feet, and fell to the ground, with a pig's nose and onions pretending to be an elephant. Now the trick of encountering porcelain scammers on the road may have been learned from Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen said after howling dryly for a while. This was done behind his back, and he was notorious to all generations.

Zhu Wen lay on Zhaozong's Zigong and cried, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he dipped some saliva, wiped it on his face, and howled a few times. In front of the eleven-year-old Emperor Wai, he said that it was not his meaning, and he had no idea of replacing the Tang Dynasty. In order to show his innocence, he asked for a thief. Emperor Wai saw this fat man dipping his saliva for a while, and howling dryly for a while. It's very funny, but I don't know that I will die in Shandong soon.

In October, in order to cover up his sins, he killed people in the name of something. Come and think about it. said that Zhu Yougong and others were not well protected, so that the sergeants robbed in the city. Zhu Yougong and Qin Shucong could not be serious and disciplined, and were demoted to Yazhou Sihu. Yazhou is in Sanya, Hainan Island. In the past, it was the end of the earth. In order to draw a clear line and shirk responsibility. Restore Zhu Yougong's original name to Li Yanwei. He thought that people were being degraded. The mouth can speak, and soon, someone was sent to kill them on the way. This kind of trick is just something that Zhu Wen has prepared for a long time. Killing two birds with one stone, covering up crimes, very clever, very cunning, very cruel.

Li Yanwei only knew at this time that Zhu Wen was a despicable person, and it was too late to buy regret medicine, and he really regretted it. Shouted loudly before the execution, betrayed him to block the slander of the people of the world, what is the difference between you Zhu Wen and pigs and dogs! Acting like this, I hope there will be a future!

No one sympathizes, no one sighs, only pathetic, contemptible, hateful, hateful.

Li Yanwei is a native of Shouzhou, today's Shouchun County, Anhui Province. During the Warring States Period, in 241 BC, King Kaoli of Chu adopted Huang Xie's suggestion and moved the capital here. Li Yanwei is Zhu Wen's hometown, he has followed Zhu Wen since he was a child, he is very smart and can figure out the hearts of others. Zhu Wen regarded him as an adopted son and a confidant.

So, was Li Yanwei instructed by someone?

According to the "History of the New Five Dynasties", Zhaozong went to Luoyang, and Li Yu, the crown prince, also came to Luoyang. When he was in Chang'an, Liu Shuji abolished Zhaozong and established King De. Later, Zhaozong anyway, someone wanted to kill King De. Zhaozong thought that he was young and being used by others, and did not agree to be killed, but still became the king of virtue.

Now in Luoyang, Zhu Wen saw that King De had beautiful eyebrows and a dignified appearance, so he hated him very much. At this time, Li Cunqiao and Wang Jian had to send troops to attack Luoyang. Zhu Wen was in the river, he was a little scared, beware of Zhaozong running to these people, and decided to kill Zhaozong. He secretly sent his military advisor Jing Xiang to Luoyang, found Li Yanwei and his uncle, and asked them to execute the killing of Zhaozong. Li Yanwei received instructions from his superiors to quickly send troops into the forbidden middle school. At the second drum hour that night, he brought a hundred people to open the palace gate. The doorkeeper asked him if he was okay? He said to the keeper of the door that he was on the job. It said, "How can you let the soldiers in?"

Li Yanwei scolded, what are you talking about! Forced through the door, went straight to the Jiaolan Hall to find Zhaozong.

At this time, Zhaozong was a little drunk from drinking, wearing single clothes, and wanted to go outside. A junior general named Shi Tai caught up with Zhaozong. Zhaozong saw Shi Tai holding the sword and knew what was going on. He hurried around the pillar to dodge, trying to run out. Where can you hide from Stein's sword? Zhaozong was quickly killed, and blood splattered all over the ground.

According to an insider named Jing She in the palace, then, hundreds of people from the Zhuwang clan were killed and buried in the north of Longxing Temple. When the news reached the river, Zhu Wen pretended to cry bitterly and asked which one did it behind his back. How how! He went from Hedong to Luoyang and let Li Yanwei and his uncle carry the black pot. and relegated them to Yazhou in Lingnan. On the way, Zhang Tingfan was sent to kill them.

In February 905, Zhu Wen instructed Jiang Xuanhui to kill the nine sons of Zhaozong in Jiuquchi. Jiang Xuanhui, the executive committee member of the Murder Committee, was also killed by Zhu Wen soon after.

In June, Zhu Wen killed more than 100 people including Sikong Peizan, and mourned the emperor to give him the "Yingluan Ji Gong Monument".

The unscrupulous scholar Liu Can worked very hard for Zhu Wen to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and was finally killed by Zhu Wen. Liu Can is a native of Hedong, that is, Yongji, Shanxi, in 904, the prime minister Cui Yin was executed by Zhaozong, and he succeeded him. Modern historian Fan Wenlan said that Liu Can was a person who "didn't know what to kill without seeing a knife". Before his execution, he shouted. The national thief Liu Can, it is better to die! He laughed at himself. scolded himself for regretting his life for Zhu Wen, and in the end he lost his life. It makes people laugh and stinks for thousands of years. There is really no place to buy regret medicine in the world, otherwise, Liu Can would buy it with gold and silver mountains and swallow a handful of them. He hates himself for being stupid! He didn't kill Zhaozong, why did Zhu Wen kill him? He killed too many courtiers, causing Zhu Wen's disgust. Zhu Wen also knows that the traitorous male Cao Cao knows that he loves the nurse.

These people were killed, and it was just dog-eat-dog. No sympathy.

Let's briefly introduce what kind of person Liu Can is.

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 presented them to Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen executed them all. Public opinion set off an uproar, the government and the opposition were booed, and the people looked sideways at the road. This incident was regarded as an unjust prison, which made Zhu Wen feel uncomfortable because he killed the scholar.

Liu Can was the prime minister of the pseudo-Liang, and he and the privy envoy Jiang Xuanhui stepped up their plans for Zhu Wen to usurp the Tang Dynasty. However, the two said to Zhu Wen that since the Wei and Jin dynasties. First seal the great country, add nine tin special gifts, and then receive Zen, it should be the same. They didn't know that Zhu Wen was not Cao Cao, or even Dong Zhuo was not. He doesn't have that quality. Gangsters are always gangsters.

In November, the late Tang Emperor appointed Zhu Wen as the prime minister and the chief of the hundred officials. Enter the king of Wei and set aside 20 states as the state of Wei. This was originally a springboard laid by Liu and Jiang for him to officially become emperor. But Zhu Wen thought that the two of them deliberately delayed and waited for the incident. Kill these two people and further accelerate the pace of seizing power.

This. After all, Zhu Wen was not as strategic as Sima Yi seven hundred and fifty years ago, and he couldn't hold his breath. In 249, it also happened in Luoyang, after Sima Yi ascended the throne after Cao Fang, Cao Shuang seized military and political power and squeezed out the Sima Group. Sima Yi pretended to be old and sick, expressed humility, but secretly prepared to seize power. Later, when the emperor and Cao Shuang left Luoyang to worship and sweep Cao Rui's tomb, a coup d'état was launched. Later, Cao Shuang exterminated the three clans, making the Cao family a puppet for the next ten years, and finally in 265, his grandson Sima Yan repeated the story of Cao Pi's dynasty.

So far, in addition to killing loyal ministers, Zhu Wen also killed Li Yanwei, Shu Shicong and Jiang Xuanhui, and then killed Liu Can.

Liu Can is the grandson of Liu Gongquan, one of the four great calligraphers, born poor, relying on chopping wood to fight for money to study, an advanced teenager who inspired his disciples from the poor family. After he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was appreciated by Zhaozong, entered the Hanlin Dynasty, and soon became the prime minister. In order to consolidate his position, he intended to take refuge in Zhu Wen. In the history books, Liu Can is classified as a traitor and called a demon minister. A model of a poor disciple, a literati with a glorious family background, but he fell into the quagmire of sin, which really tarnished the name of the ancestor Liu Gongquan.

After the privy envoy Jiang Xuanhui was killed, Zhu Wen burned it with fire, which was called "crushing bones and scattering ashes" in ancient times, which was the most mischievous and made his descendants feel cold. According to the "History of the New Five Dynasties", this is Zhu Wen instructing a person named Jiang Ying to accuse Jiang Xuanhui of fornicating with the Empress Dowager He. Anyway, if you want to add sin, there is no excuse. Also framing Jiang Xuanhui was Kong Xun. Both of these will be described below. But none of them will end well, and to find out, check out the next chapter.

Let's talk about Kong Xun first, he was an orphan who begged for food and went to Bianzhou, and a person named Li Rang took him in. Li Rang was the adopted son of Zhu Wen when he had not usurped power, and became the son of Zhu Wen's nurse, and the husband of the nurse was surnamed Zhao, and he changed his surname to Zhao and called Zhao Yinheng. Zhaozong was kidnapped by Zhu Wen to Luoyang, drove away all the people around the Son of Heaven, and replaced him with his own people. Kong Xun succeeded Zhu Wen as the deputy envoy of Xuanhui in the past, and Wang Yin served as the envoy of Xuanhui. Kong Xun followed Jiang Xuanhui, Zhang Tingfan, and Jiang Ying to Jishan Palace to kill Empress Dowager He. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was also a Empress Dowager He, who was the younger sister of He Jin, and gave birth to the young emperor Liu Wei. Liu Wei was the son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the elder brother of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, both of whom were emperors of the Shiwei Dynasty. Empress Dowager He, Liu Wei, mother and son, were both killed by Dong Zhuo. How similar history is to Nell!

Kong Xun helped Zhu Wen kill the Empress Dowager He, and became the privy deputy envoy of the pseudo-Liang, and the official was the envoy of the rent, so he changed his surname to Kong and changed his name to Xun.

After the fall of the Zhuwen court, he took refuge in Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao and served as the Taishou of Bianzhou. Mingzong Li Siyuan opposed Li Cunxuan in Weizhou, and he was the first to do both ends in Bianzhou. Prepare to greet Li Siyuan at the north gate and Li Cunqiao at the west gate. The etiquette and etiquette are the same for them. He warned the gatekeepers that whoever arrived first would be allowed to enter the city, and that those who came later were not allowed to enter the city. Totally a cunning, treacherous, despicable, and filthy man. Li Siyuan arrived first, and then welcomed Li Siyuan into the city. Under Mingzong, he served as a privy envoy, and he was in cahoots with An Chongzhu, and he was in cahoots. One day, Mingzong went to Bianzhou to inspect, and he stayed in Luoyang. Someone made koji, and this little thing killed the whole family.

He was "gentle and cunning", because he deceived An Chongzhu, he was expelled from Beijing by An Chongzhu, and later died in other places, at the age of forty-eight. Here's the thing: An Chongzhu believed in him very much and listened to him. So, he told him that the prince was going to marry his daughter. Kong Xun immediately became selfish, and he wanted to marry his daughter to the emperor as a daughter-in-law. So, he said to An Chongzhu, you are a privy envoy, and it is not appropriate to kiss the emperor. An Chongzhu thought that he was right, so he did not agree to the emperor. As a result, this guy turned around and immediately called someone to tell the emperor that he wanted to marry his daughter to the royal family. So, the prince Li Conghou married his daughter. When An Chongzhi found out, he regretted it very much and was very annoyed, so he drove him out of Beijing and made a festival envoy.

To what extent is the authoritarian power of An Chongzhu? Mingzong asked him to arrange a person, but he didn't give face. A man named Hua Wenqi rebelled with Huangchao at first and went to Chang'an to serve as an enshrined official. Huang Chao failed, and he went to Huazhou, Henan. Look at your own dignified appearance, worry about not being compatible with the government, and commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river. A fierce man went down, and the White Horse River roared, and the waves rose high. The river rushed for dozens of miles, but it didn't die. After being rescued ashore, thinking that there was no place for him to go, he saw a mulberry tree in the ground, ran over, untied his belt, and hanged himself. However, the mulberry branch clicked and broke, and it did not die. It seems that death is really difficult for him. The life experience is drifting, the future is bleak, and I don't realize that my heart is surging again. A man sat on a rock, let the breeze blow around, and the fallen leaves drifted up and down, gloomy and sad. An honest and honest peasant uncle put down his hoe and walked over. At first glance, he looks dignified, not an ordinary person. A few words of greeting, all comforting. The old peasant took him to his house, entertained him well, and hid him in the house. More than a year later, I heard that Zhu Yu was conscripted, so I said goodbye to the old farmer and went to the battlefield.

Later, he made a history of assassination in Zhu Wen's puppet Liang government. In Jinzhou and other places, he made a history of assassination and cared about the people's suffering. When Li Cunqiao attacked Jinju, he couldn't attack it for more than a month. Emperor Mo Liang rewarded him with a lot of money and appointed him as a festival envoy. Zhuang Zong destroyed Liang, saw him, admired him very much, and worshiped him as a festival envoy. (To be continued......)
