Li Qiufeng grew up in Shu since he was a child, and he has heard many legends of Meng Zhixiang's father and son. It's just that he has never heard of what Xu Chengzong said, although he knows that the situation is critical at this time, and the murderous opportunities are everywhere, but he also listens quite attentively.

I only heard Xu Chengzong say: "Meng Zhixiang continued to expand his power in Shu, but there were constant turmoil in the Tang court. Li Cunmiao fooled around with servants and eunuchs every day, and promoted many servants to be officials. He has a close minister named Guo Congqian, although this person is not a servant, but he was appointed by Li Cunqiao as the leader of the Lingren, and he is the nephew of Guo Chongtao, a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, who won Li Cunqing's favor. It's just that the servants are also divided into several groups, and they are constantly fighting for power and profit with each other. Guo Congqian is the leader of one of the gangs, and he leads the servants to fight for the wind and be jealous every day, framing each other. The eunuchs took the opportunity to gain power and framed Zhongliang. The entire Later Tang Dynasty court, from top to bottom, was full of black smoke and miasma. Later, Guo Chongtao offended the queen, and was instructed by the queen to frame Guo Chongtao for rebellion, and as a result, Li Cunqiao ordered Guo Chongtao to be beaten to death. Guo Congqian lost his backer and lost power. The faction opposed to him took the opportunity to join forces with the eunuchs to bring Guo Congqian to death.

At that time, the rebels swarmed, and there was chaos in all parts of the Later Tang Dynasty. Although Li Cunmiao lived in the deep palace, he finally learned the news. He was the emperor immediately, and when he heard that the rebels were in turmoil, he immediately led his troops to quell the rebellion. At this time, Li Siyuan, a relative of the imperial family, was coerced by the rebels and became the leader of the rebels, leading his troops to the capital. Li Cunmiao relied on himself to be the first in the world, so he led the army to fight Li Siyuan. It's just that the wine has already emptied Li Cunmiao's body, making him no longer as brave as he was back then. And the loyal and righteous people in the court have also been killed and driven out over the years, and those who have remained by Li Cunmiao's side are all young people. Li Cunqiao fought several battles with Li Siyuan, but they were all defeated. He knew that the situation was irreversible, so he had to retreat with his troops. And Guo Congqian, the leader of the Lingren, was appointed by Li Cunqiao as the commander of the direct command from Ma at this time, responsible for leading the emperor's personal army. He saw that Li Siyuan's army was approaching, and Li Cunmiao was already a poor country, so he took advantage of Li Cunmiao's rest to lead the pro-army guards to rebel and besiege Li Cunmiao. After a scuffle, Li Cunqiao was killed by an arrow, and the emperor who dominated the world was killed.

"After Li Cunmiao's death, Li Siyuan became the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. Meng Zhixiang heard the news of the chaos in the imperial court in Shuzhong, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. After Li Siyuan ascended the throne, he went to Wenshu and asked Meng Zhixiang to become an official in the imperial court. In fact, he was afraid that Meng Zhixiang would be loyal to Li Cunqiao and make trouble in Shu. Meng Zhixiang knew that if he entered Beijing, he would inevitably be harmed by Li Siyuan, because he used the excuse that he had lived in a corner of Shu for a long time, so he was shallow in his studies, and he did not have the talent to be a Beijing official, so he could not be edicted. Li Siyuan saw Meng Zhixiang openly resisting the decree and knew that he had a different heart. However, the chaos was at the beginning of the peace, and the military strength of the Later Tang Dynasty was insufficient. Meng Zhixiang has been operating in Shu for many years, and his wings are full, and he can't eliminate it for a while. It was Li Siyuan who didn't dare to turn his face with Meng Zhixiang, and the two sides didn't do it for the time being.

It's just that Meng Zhixiang is in power, and he has long been unwilling to be fettered by the Later Tang Dynasty. More than ten years later, he finally became the emperor of Shu, and the founding name was Shu, and the world called it Houshu. After Meng Zhixiang became the emperor, he issued an edict to entitle Meng Chang as the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen. Although Meng Zhixiang founded the country, there were only two rivers under the jurisdiction of Houshu, East and West, and the scale of Dongchuan was far above Xichuan. Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi was the head of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty and was an unnamed minister. Meng Zhixiang's move is actually to tell the world that Meng Chang is the crown prince of Houshu.

"Meng Zhixiang became the emperor of Houshu, and finally fulfilled his wish for many years. It's just that this person is too thin. He ascended the throne and became emperor in the first month, but he became seriously ill in July of that year. When he was dying, he issued an edict to crown Meng Chang as the crown prince and act as the government agent. On the night this holy decree was issued, Meng Zhixiang died with a whimper. Meng Chang, who had just become the crown prince, became the emperor of Houshu.

"Meng Chang is very smart, he knows that the ministers of the court and the central government are all old ministers who have been with Meng Zhixiang for a long time, and he can't suppress himself. Moreover, there are a few people who still have heavy troops, if they know that Meng Zhixiang is dead, they are afraid that they will immediately cause chaos. After Meng Zhixiang's death, Meng Chang did not mourn secretly, discussed countermeasures with several cronies and ministers, and sent his cronies to seize the military power of the Suwei in Chengdu and control the important ministers in the court, so as to inform the world of the news of the new monarch's accession to the throne. A few months after he ascended the throne, he consolidated his power by killing several powerful ministers and ambitious generals.

Since then, Meng Chang has appointed virtuous ministers and made great efforts to govern the country, compared with the Central Plains where wars are frequent, Hou Shu under Meng Chang's governance can be said to be like heaven. It's just that many years later, Meng Chang gradually became arrogant. The people of the time said in the article that Shu has not seen the beacon fire for ten years, has not heard of the fighting, five bumper harvests, three coins of rice, all the ladies, do not distinguish wheat, the people of Cailan give Fen, buy laughter and seek fun, and the court is full of sheng songs every day, fine wine every night, courtesans in the teaching workshop, and lyricists and guests, decorating a scene of peace and happiness.

Meng Chang thought that his great cause had been accomplished, and he drank wine and recited poetry every day, and he was indescribably happy. He recruited Shu beauties to fill the harem, and set up twelve levels of beauties in addition to the concubines, among which he was most favored by a noble concubine known as 'Lady Flower'. This noble concubine is not only beautiful, but also virtuous and virtuous, and good at reciting poems, which won Meng Chang's favor. ”

When Xu Chengzong said this, he paused slightly, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Mrs. Hua Rui's name, have you ever heard of it?"

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "The legend about this lady is spread all over Shuzhong, and I have naturally heard a lot. It is said that this lady was the first beauty in the world at that time, and she was glamorous after entering the palace. Later, the Great Song Dynasty destroyed Houshu, and Lady Hua Rui was moved to Bianjing with Meng Chang. I heard that the two emperors Song Taizu and Song Taizong were also tempted by the beauty of Madame Hua Rui, and made a lot of ridiculous things. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he frowned, and continued: "Folklore, after Hou Shu was destroyed, Meng Chang was sent to Bianjing along with Lady Hua Rui. Song Taizu set up a banquet to welcome the two, and when he saw the beauty of Mrs. Hua Rui, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but speak frivolously. After three rounds of wine, Zhao Kuangyin had seven or eight points of drunkenness, so he said to Mrs. Hua Rui, I heard that Mrs. Hua Rui is good at composing poems, when she was in Shu, she had composed a hundred palace words, can you give a poem today, in order to help the wine? Mrs. Hua Rui recited a song of picking mulberries during the banquet, and the poem Yun: The heart will be broken at the beginning of the Shu Road, and the hatred will last, and the spring is like a year, and the cuckoo will be heard from time to time. The three thousand palace ladies are all beautiful, fighting Chanjuan together, and learning from the sky, who knows that it is a prophecy today.

After Mrs. Hua Rui recited, she explained the poem to Zhao Kuangyin. Ziyun was in the Chengdu Palace that year, and Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, composed the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Chaotian Song', which made her sing according to the beat. At that time, I thought it was a good prophecy for thousands of miles to come, so hundreds of officials competed for a long whip, from the horse to the ground, and the woman actually wore a high crown, all called 'Chaotian'. And Li Yanniang entered the palace, good comb high bun, the palace people all learn from her to invite pampering, also called 'Chaotian bun', that knows that it is thousands of miles rugged, go to Bianjing, come to see the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. The prophecy of thousands of miles to the sky is the fulfillment of the Song Dynasty, which is the will of heaven to ask the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to be the co-master of the world.

Mrs. Hua Rui's remarks were naturally to praise Zhao Kuangyin and save the lives of Meng Chang and her. There was nothing wrong with the act of subordination. It's just that after Zhao Kuangyin listened to this poem, he was silent for a long time, drank three cups in a row, and asked Mrs. Hua Rui to write a new poem. Mrs. Hua Rui pondered for a moment, and then opened her lips: The flag was lowered on the tree in the king's city, and the concubine knew it in the deep palace. 140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he snorted, and then said: "In the battle of the frontier, the generals and soldiers who died. Madame Blossom, a woman who enjoys all the glory and wealth in the palace, has the face to accuse the soldiers who are fighting outside with their heads?

Seeing Li Qiufeng's angry face, Xu Chengzong sighed and said, "So everyone is talking about gold, and they are ruined." Originally, a woman who was clear and jade became the talk of the world, and I don't know how much dirty water has been splashed for thousands of years, which is really sad. ”

Li Qiufeng let out an "oh" and said, "Listening to Lord Xu's tone, it seems that he has a sense of protection for this Mrs. Flower. You say that the world is framing Madame Blossom, so why do you say that this is a framing and not the truth?!"
