In the first year of Longde (921), Qian Biao was given a special gift, but "the edict is not named". At this time, the rulers of Xichuan (former Shu), Huainan (Southern Wu), Lingnan (Southern Han), Fujian (Fujian) and other places successively established the state and claimed the emperor, and they all persuaded Qian Biao to claim the emperor according to Wu Yue. Qian Biao smiled: "These people are sitting in the charcoal by themselves, and they want to pull me onto it." Although Qian Biao refused their persuasion, the monarchs of various countries still treated him like a father and brother.

In the third year of Longde (923), Qian Biao was canonized as the king of Wuyue and officially established the state of Wuyue. He changed the government office to the imperial court, set up hundreds of officials such as prime ministers and waiters, and all etiquette systems were in accordance with the emperor's specifications. Soon, the Jin king Li Cunmiao destroyed the Later Liang, established the Later Tang Dynasty, and changed the Yuan to Tongguang. Qian Biao sent an envoy to pay tribute and asked for a jade book. Guo Chongtao and other ministers were strongly opposed, believing that only the emperor could use the jade book. But Li Cunqiao finally gave Qian Biao a jade book and a golden seal. Overseas countries such as Silla and Balhae all accepted the canonization of Qian Biao and respected him as their ruler.

In the fourth year of Tongguang (926), Li Cunxuan was killed in a mutiny, and Li Siyuan ascended the throne. The situation in the Central Plains was chaotic, and it was difficult for the imperial court edict to reach Wuyue. Qian Biao then changed to Yuan Baozheng. Regarding the matter of Qian Biao's change to the yuan, because later generations respect the Central Plains Zhengshuo, there are quite secrets about it. And Hong Mai's "Rong Zhai Four Strokes" said that Qian Biao had changed Yuan Tianbao and Baoda before the Baozheng year.

In the fourth year of Tiancheng (929), the Later Tang Dynasty enshrined officials Wu Zhaoyu and Han Mei sent envoys to Wu Yueguo. Han Mei and Wu Zhao did not get along, and after returning to China, she said: "Wu Zhao met Qian Biao in person, called the ministers to worship and dance, called him His Royal Highness, and privately revealed state affairs to Qian Biao. The privy envoy An Chongzhu had an old grudge with Qian Biao, so he went to the imperial court, beheaded Wu Zhaoyu, and cut off Qian Biao's official title, and ordered him to serve as the Taishi (return to the official position, that is, retire). Qian Bi ordered his son Qian Yuanqian and others to complain about their grievances, but the court ignored them.

In the second year of Changxing (931), An Chongzhu was sentenced for crimes, one of which was "no money". Li Siyuan reappointed Qian Biao as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, Shangfu, and the king of Wuyue, and ordered Zhang Xuan, the general of the prison gate, to go to Hangzhou to give an edict, saying that the former order for him to be a reprimand.

In the third year of Changxing (932), Qian Biao was seriously ill and summoned his subordinates to entrust the future, he said: "Most of my sons are stupid and cowardly, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on great responsibilities. When I die, please choose the best among them. "His subordinates all recommended Qian Yuanjun. Qian Biao then set up Qian Yuanqian as his heir. Soon after, Qian Biao died at the age of eighty-one. After the imperial court learned about it, he abolished the dynasty for seven days, gave him the name Wusu, and ordered Yang Ningshi, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, to make a Shinto inscription for him.

In the first year of Yingshun (934), Qian Biao was buried in the original of Maoshan in Yijin Township, Anguo County, and later built a temple in Yuezhou.

In the fourth year of Kaiping (910), Qian Biao mobilized a large number of laborers to build a stone pond along the Qiantang River, and fixed the huge gabion full of stones on the riverside with wooden stakes to form a solid seawall and protect the farmland along the river from being eroded by the tide. And because the stone pond has the function of storing water, the farmland along the river can be irrigated.

Qian Biao ordered the soldiers and the people to "break the big bamboo as a cage, dozens of zhang long, in the real boulder; The name of the big tree is several zhang long, and the horizontal of the plant is the pond"; "The inside is filled with soil again, and the wood is used to stand at the water's edge, and the shore is 29 feet, and nine trees are erected, and the six layers are made", which is called "mixed pillar", and the foundation is laid to make a stone pond. "Building a pond with stones, starting from Wu Yue". This ancient pond of Hanhai, from the Liuhe Pagoda to the Genshan Gate, is 338,593 zhang long, plus the earthen pond, and the stone embankment is built inside, which takes more than two months, costs 109,440 yuan, and nearly 110 million yuan.

In addition, Qian Biao set up a lake army, dredged Qiantang Lake, obtained its sightseeing and irrigation benefits, and diverted the lake water into a gushing gold pond, which was connected with the canal. Qian Biao also set up four "water army" in the Taihu Lake area, with 7,000 or 8,000 people, which were specially responsible for dredging the lake, building embankments, and dredging rivers, so that Suzhou, Jiaxing, Changzhou, and other places could enjoy the benefits of irrigation.

Family mottos have been passed down from generation to generation

Qian Biao governed the country strategically, and he was also very strict in self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and twice formulated the "eight precepts" and "ten precepts" for governing the family. "Ten Disciplines" is the ten requirements that Qian Qian put forward to his children and grandchildren before his death, although the testament contains some feudal thoughts, but most of them are full of wisdom in life. The "legacy of King Wusu" has been passed down from generation to generation, and has been inspiring the descendants of the Qian family. The will states:

1. Be loyal and filial to the people, love the soldiers and the people.

2. All the kings of China, although they are easy to have different surnames, should do good deeds.

3. It is necessary to measure virtue and measure the strength of affairs, and if you meet a true monarch, you should return to it as soon as possible. The saint clouds follow the heavens. Yunmin is more expensive, and the community is secondary. Don't go to war, that is, love the people. If you violate my words, you will die immediately. According to my teachings, generations will be glorified.

4. Yu Lizheng Qian Tang, more than 50 years like a day, diligently and diligently, regarded the three armies as a family.

5. Do not listen to women and hurt their flesh and bones. Gu Yun: Wives and concubines are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, clothes are still new, and siblings are difficult to continue.

6. Marriage must choose a house, and it is not possible to marry a slut for the sake of beauty, so as to insult the door.

7. Set up more nursing homes to adopt the four people without complaint, add a nursery hall, and inspect the nursing mothers, so as not to cause the yang to violate the yin and abuse the young children.

8. The silk cotton in Wuyue is widely planted in Sangma. Ten people in Doumi, and the rest of them taught people to open up barren fields. All this grain is the sweat and hard work of the people, so that they can be rich in life. Thou shalt not love wealth tirelessly, do not seek to be comfortable, and do not rely on power to be powerful. Don't offend the people of the courtiers.

9. My family has lived in the city of brocade for generations, guarded the pine tree of the ancestors, and is prosperous today, turning the family into a country, and future generations should not abandon my ancestors.

10. After I established my name, I continued the family style in my children and grandchildren, and preached the etiquette and teaching, which is the law of enjoying wealth and nobility for a long time. If there are children and grandchildren who are unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, it will be bad for my family style, and they must be attacked with a drum.
