Chapter 360: Uncle Cao Guo, the god of trafficking
When Wang Zhu was twenty years old, he chose to join the army.
According to the analysis and judgment of Yu Linglong and Sun Liu, the child will vote for Li Ke when he joins the army. Therefore, Wang Zhu has been serving in Li Keyong's Jin army. Later, Wang Zhu listened to the advice of Sun Liu, who was already his adoptive father, and followed Li Siyuan to the death, and he would definitely be able to get ahead.
Therefore, Wang Zhu has been following Li Siyuan to fight and become the personal guard general of Li Siyuan and Cao Yanjiao. Wang Zhu protected Li Siyuan's family in a small battle, which inspired Guo Congqian's fighting spirit.
Just by mistake, he borrowed Guo Congqian's hand to avenge the royal brothers of the Houshu royal family. Of course, these secrets can never be told to the outside.
Li Siyuan greatly appreciated Wang Zhu and was immediately named Marquis of Lu Hun. The fiefdom of Luhun County is under the jurisdiction of Luoyang. His wife, Zhang, was awarded the title of Lady of Henan.
Of course, the rescued family is also a child, his second uncle Cao Porui, and Li Siyuan invited him to join the army to serve the Later Tang Dynasty. Cao Porui smiled: "To be honest, in the bloody wind and rain, I haven't sold sparrow tongue tea. If there was a real emergency, I would have helped. ”
Li Siyuan had no choice but to make him the Marquis of Lingshou, and gave him a gold medal of "Bird's Tongue Tea Marquis", and allowed him to sell Bird's Tongue Tea, and exempt him from taxation when he traveled to and from Guanjin. Lingshou County is under the jurisdiction of Chengde Junzhi Town. His wife, Ding, was awarded the title of Lady of Zhending County.
In the book, Cao Porui, the second son of Cao Bo and the second brother of Cao Yanjiao, could not escape the fate of the emperor's relatives after all. After the death of Mingzong Li Siyuan, Li Conghou ascended the throne and sat in the palace to force Li Congke to rebel. In the first year of Ying Shun (934), Li Congke entered Luoyang, and the prime minister Feng Dao and others persuaded him to advance, but Li Congke pretended not to obey.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Feng Dao stayed behind to discuss strategies with Li Congke, and Feng Dao suggested that Empress Dowager Cao issue an edict to abolish Li Conghou and establish Li Congke as emperor, which would be justified.
That night, Li Congke led several powerful generals into the palace and asked the Empress Dowager Cao to issue an edict. Empress Dowager Cao agreed with Li Siyuan's succession and prepared to issue an edict the next day.
At this time, it happened that Cao Porui was on the register, and he just said: "It seems inappropriate to do this...... ”
Yang Siquan, who had already been commanded by the Yulin Army under Li Congke, beheaded him with a sword with lightning speed. Empress Dowager Cao was furious: "How can there be such a thing, how does the husband know what the brother is going to say next?"
Li Congke hurriedly knelt down: "Queen Mother, the situation is urgent, please forgive me for the loyalty of Siquan Protector." ”
Empress Dowager Cao cried, thought for a long time, and said: "You will succeed to the throne unchanged, and you will be rewarded for breaking the sharp." Let's go down. ”
In the first year of Yingshun (934), after Li Congke ascended the throne, the first edict was given to Cao Porui. The Marquis of Lingshou was renamed the founding prince of Lingshou County. And to the emperor of the Yuan seller, he was named the god of Sichuan tea sellers.
Lingshou County Gong, Sichuan tea seller god Cao Porui, with the word line, the name Yue. Cao Yue took his ancestor Pingnan's eleventh brother, Shu Marquis, and stick king Cao Li as his shade, inherited his father's peddler Cao Bo, a tea seller, and returned to heaven for protecting his sister Empress Dowager Cao.
Lingshou Gong Cao Yue, the uncle of Cao Guo in the Later Tang Dynasty, was four years older than Cao Yanjiao, the Empress Dowager Cao, and was sixty years old in the year of the gods.
Wu Gongding, the lieutenant marshal of the heavenly department, and Zhang Ya, the western handsome, caught Cao Yue, the god of Sichuan tea sellers, and brought them to the Yuanxin Palace of the Emperor of the Yuan Sellers. Cao Porui visited the Yuan Dealer Emperor Bi, first let him go around the Huaxu Wonderland, meet the gods and immortals, take a look at several great scriptures of the hawking world, wait for the other six gods to return, and seal his duties together.
Xishuai Zhang Ya pointed behind many temples, created a shrine and a dormitory for them, and silently reported Cao Porui's return to God to Emperor Shennong, who sent the Sparrowtongue Tea Fairy to be his gatekeeper. Its shrine is called Sichuan Tea Temple, and the dormitory is called Bird's Tongue Palace.
In the lower realm, the day after Li Congke met the Empress Dowager Cao, the Empress Dowager Cao issued an edict to depose Li Conghou as the king of Hubei and ordered Li Congke to be the prisoner of the country. On April 6, Li Congke was appointed as the emperor, and he ascended the throne and became the emperor, which was the emperor of the late Tang Dynasty and changed the Yuan Qingtai. Afterword.
Back in April of the first year of Tiancheng (926), Li Siyuan was called the emperor, in addition to rewarding the meritorious heroes, of course, he also had to establish the queen, and the instability of the harem was definitely a bad thing. However, he is in trouble with who he opposes, and what is the reason?
It's nothing more than another love. At that time, only Cao Yanjiao and Wang Qien were qualified to be queens.
Cao Yanjiao was forty-eight years old at this time. As for Wang Qien, he is only twenty-five years old, known as Hua Jianshy, young and beautiful. Although it is Li Siyuan's other room, and it is not the Ming Media that is marrying, it is the most trusted and favored by Li Siyuan, and she was named Mrs. Korea, under Cao Yanjiao.
Cao Yanjiao grew up in a wealthy family, and has never seen anything, so she never covets anything, she is frugal and generous, kind and kind, and dignified. She saw that the Wang family was favored, and Mingzong also intended to make her the queen, so she offered to make Hua Jian ashamed to be the queen.
However, Keke, inside and outside the court, fiercely opposed Wang Qi's grace. After four years of silence in Mingzong, in the first year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty (930), Li Siyuan still issued an edict and officially canonized Cao Yanjiao as the queen.
Three years later, Li Siyuan died in Huangquan, and Li Congke ascended the throne. This is talking about Cao Yanjiao's marriage to Li Siyuan's first daughter-Li Congfei.
After Li Siyuan became the emperor, he named Li Congfei as the princess of Yongning in the third year of Tiancheng. In September of the fourth year of Changxing (933), Li Congke entered and named Li Congfei as the princess of Wei. In September of the second year of the Qing Dynasty (935), the last emperor Li Congke changed the title of the princess of Wei to the eldest princess of the Jin state.
In the second year of the Later Tang Dynasty (935), Shi Jingjiao launched a mutiny in Jinyang, captured Taiyuan, established himself as the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and then led his army to approach Luoyang.
The last emperor Li Congke was cornered, and the Empress Dowager Cao led the old and young in the palace to the Xuanwu Tower. After Shi Jingjiao entered Luoyang, he sent people to find the bones of his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cao, and ordered a three-day boycott and a grand mourning ceremony. In the fifth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (940), Shi Jingjiao posthumously named Cao as "Empress Wuxian".
Zhang Qidie assisted Liang Taizu and Zhu Wen was definitely leveraged.
Empress Zhang's illegitimate daughter Cao Yanjiao, who assisted Tang Mingzong Li Siyuan, can also be called virtuous.
And how did Empress Cao's daughter Li Congfei assist Shi Jingjiao, the most notorious child emperor in history?
Not to mention, Li Congfei grew up in a blessed nest since he was a child, although he is handsome and beautiful, but when it comes to scheming and strategy, it is much worse. Basically, you can give her a "chewing tongue root" or "rectum" according to the common saying of the people.
Chewing on the root of the tongue in the whirlpool of power means causing trouble to your husband. The princess who accompanies the Son of Heaven, if it is a rectum, it is equivalent to "two" and "sick", to say it is good, this is called uprightness, and it is difficult to say, this is called "not enough to count", "two hundred and five", "stupid".
Li Congfei's husband, Shi Jingjiao, is also a native of Taiyuan, from the Shatuo clan, and was originally Li Siyuan's most powerful general. In the forty years that Li Keyong, Li Cunmiao's father and son competed with Zhu Wen for the world, Shi Jingjiao and Mingzong Li Siyuan, together with Mingzong Li Siyuan, can be described as the sharp knife of the Jin army.
Li Siyuan often fights more with less, and his fame shocks the world, and Liang Taizu Zhu Wen has no choice but to obey this enemy's son. Among them, the key figures who play with less and more are Shi Jingjiao and Li Congke. Shi Jingjiao is the son-in-law of Mingzong Li Siyuan, and Li Congke is the adopted son of Mingzong.
Shi Jingjiao's real credit for going to the opposite and overthrowing Li Congfei's mother's family is precisely Li Congfei's credit.
In December of the fourth year of Changxing (933), Mingzong Li Siyuan died of illness, and the third son, Li Conghou, the king of Song, succeeded to the throne as Emperor Min of Tang. Shi Jingjiao just went out in November to guard Taiyuan, defending against the northern Khitan, Tuhun, and Turkic invaders, and when he heard the news of his father-in-law's death, he immediately howled and cried, like a mourner.
Emperor Min of the Tang Dynasty awarded Shi Jingjiao as the Zhongshu Order, transferred to Zhenzhou Chengde Army Festival Envoy, and let Li Congke, who was in Fengxiang, serve as Hedong Festival Envoy.
Originally, Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao guarded Fengxiang and Taiyuan respectively, just to guard against the Khitan, Tuhun, and Turkic in the north.
Li Congke analyzed that at this critical juncture, he actually "changed towns" in such a way, firstly, because Li Conghou listened to the advice of the privy envoy Zhu Hongzhao, the third envoy Feng Yun and others, and lifted Li Congke's son Li Chongji from the right to ban the army, obviously suspicious of himself. Second, if the merit is high, it will inevitably suffer disaster.
Li Congke did not stop doing anything, so he launched the Qiyang Mutiny, overthrew Li Conghou, and became the emperor himself, known as the late Tang Emperor in history.
After Li Congke ascended the throne, he still committed Li Conghou's ** illness and was very suspicious of the heroes. After the funeral of his father, Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan, Shi Jingjiao was already afraid that Li Congke would be suspicious and killed himself, and he was scared of a serious illness in Luoyang and lost weight into a pile of dry firewood.
Li Cong cried and cried to find his mother Cao Yanjiao, and told that once Shi Jingjiao died of illness, Taiyuan to prevent the northern Hu people would suddenly get out of control. Empress Dowager Cao immediately found Li Congke, the son of heaven, to explain the seriousness of this and Shi Jingjiao's serious illness. Li Congke grew up with Cao Yanjiao when he was a child, and obeyed the words of the Queen Mother, so he put Shi Jingjiao back.
After Shi Jingjiao returned to Taiyuan, he was even more cautious. This kind of precaution is just a fear of losing his head, not a rebellion, and he has not yet thought of it.
Once, Li Congfei returned to Luoyang to attend the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven Li Congke, and wanted to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible to take care of the sick Shi Jingjiao.
Li Congke said to her drunkenly: "If you are in such a hurry to go back, do you want to rebel with Shilang?"
Li Congfei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shi Lang has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he can learn from it every day. Now that he is seriously ill, His Majesty and Shi Lang are both capable generals of his father's emperor, you are brothers in life and death, and I will convey His Majesty's concern for his body to Shi Lang. ”
When Li Congke heard this, this was about the same, and said happily: "Yes, Shi Lang and the widow fought the world with his father in the past, how affectionate and righteous, tell him not to think too much about it, and to recuperate." Intensify efforts to prevent the Hu people from making trouble in the north. ”
Originally, this was a drunken remark, and Li Congke also expressed concern.
Who knew that Li Congke came back to Taiyuan, but told Shi Jingjiao the drunken words of the Son of Heaven suspecting Shi Jingjiao's rebellion, which made Shi Jingjiao even more convinced that Li Congke was very suspicious of him. Because everyone believes that people who drink alcohol often say the truth that they don't usually want to say.
Since then, Shi Jingjiao has begun to prepare for the future. On the one hand, he pretended to be sick in front of the visitors from Luoyang, saying that he had no energy to govern local government affairs, so as to paralyze Li Congke.
On the other hand, on several occasions, under the pretext of the Khitan invading the border, he asked Li Congke for a large amount of military rations, saying that it was to be stockpiled to prevent the enemy from invading, but in fact it was for the future.
Finally, Shi Jingjiao rebelled. In May of the third year of the Later Tang Dynasty (936), Li Congke reappointed Shi Jingjiao as the envoy of Yunzhou Jiedu, entered the title of Zhao Guogong, and changed the title of "Futian Qiyun Zhongzheng Meritorious Hero".
Li Congke then sent an edict urging Shi Jingjiao to go to Yunzhou to take office. The last emperor Li Congke was just a normal commander of the town.
However, Shi Jingjiao was greatly stimulated, panicked, and hurriedly sent Sang Weihan to collude with the Khitan, calling Yelu Deguang, who was eleven years younger than him, his father emperor, and making himself the son emperor, and cutting off the sixteen states of Youyun, leaving a reputation for eternity.
How could this Sang Weihan be so favored and trusted by Shi Jingjiao? How old is he in Shi Jingjian's camp? How can he actually do such a move that has been extremely difficult for people and ministers to make since the beginning of history?
It is also related to the princess Li Congfei, and the relationship is extraordinary. What will happen between them?
