In the last year of Southern Liang, Chen Baxian took the opportunity of the crusade against Hou Jing to expand his power and accumulate strength, and a few years later, he usurped Liang in one fell swoop and established the Chen Dynasty as Emperor Wu of Chen. After Baxian's death, Emperor Wen reigned for seven years, King Bozong of Linhai reigned for two years, and Emperor Xuan reigned for fourteen years.
Lord Chen had many heirs, and had forty-two sons, and made his eldest son Chen Shubao the crown prince.
The second son, Shuling, was once the King of Sixing, and later rose to the rank of Yangzhou Assassin, and the governors of Yang, Xu, Dongyang, and Nanyu were all military, and they were treacherous and sexually violent.
His birth mother Peng Guiren died of illness, and he pretended to be very sad, claiming to be going to stab blood to write the Nirvana Sutra and surpass his mother, but secretly ordered the cook to make him the most delicious food, and secretly summoned his wife and daughter to join him.
After Chen Zhongyan heard about these incidents, that is to say, he never punished him with a few words, so Shuling Yijia was unscrupulous and secretly had a different heart.
Before Chen Shubao ascended the throne, a fratricidal infighting broke out with his brother Chen Shuling.
Chen Shuling is the second brother of Chen Shubao, who is very smart, but his cleverness is mistaken by cleverness. Although there are wizards, they are arrogant and arrogant.
During his tenure at the local level, Chen Shuling was a murderous politician, and even those who committed flogging were imprisoned and not interrogated for several years. It is also often harmful to the common people.
Chen Shuling's cousin Chen Bogu was originally closely related to The Crown Prince Shubao, but he thought that Chen Shuling could make a difference, so he pleased Chen Shuling and became a pair of difficult brothers.
Chen Shuling would also pretend to make Chen Gaozong like him and depose the crown prince Chen Shubao, but chen Gaozong did not give him the crown prince before his death.
However, Chen Shuling still did not give up, and seeing that Chen Gaozong's illness was no longer cured, he had the idea of killing the crown prince to seize the throne.
But only the pharmacist in the palace had a medicinal knife, and Chen Shuling walked over and took a look at it, pretending to be indifferent and saying to the pharmacist, "This knife is too blunt, you should sharpen it, so that it will be easy to use." ”
The medicinal official Zhang'er monk couldn't touch his head, so he had to nod his head perfunctorily.
Two days later, Chen Gaozong died of illness, and Chen Shuling ordered him to go around the palace to get a sword, but he didn't understand his heart and brought him a wooden sword for the imperial dress. Chen Shuling was furious and knocked down the man with the wooden sword.
The next day, Chen Gaozong was buried, and Chen Shubao, still a filial piety, fell on the ground and cried.
Chen Shuling snatched the medicine knife from the pharmacist and slashed at Chen Shubao's neck, and Chen Shubao fell to the ground.
Chen Shubao's birth mother, Empress Liu, was horrified and ran to lie on Chen Shubao's body, and was also slashed several times by Chen Shuling.
At this time, Chen Shubao woke up, and the emperor climbed up to escape, Chen Shuling grabbed his clothes and held them, and Chen Shubao used all his strength to break free.
Chen Shujian rushed to the news, subdued Chen Shuling, and then looked for Chen Shubao everywhere. Chen Shuling took the opportunity to break free, drove to the palace, and rebelled.
He was dressed neatly and wore a white cloth hat to the city tower to recruit the people and the kings and generals, but no one responded.
So he led his subordinates to prepare to attack Chen Shubao, but was defeated by the general Xiao Moke, and Chen Shuling and Chen Bogu were also killed in the rebellion.
After Chen Shubao ascended the throne, the prisoner's neck and sword wounds healed, so the power of the court was controlled by Empress Liu and Chen Shujian.
Although Chen Shujian had made meritorious contributions to his driving, he was also jealous of Chen Shubao for a long time, and he dismissed him from his post and seized the power he held.
Later, as Mao Xi and other ministers were successively demoted and killed, the advisors of the Chen Dynasty were useless, and no one dared to speak again.
Since then, Chen Shubao has acted arbitrarily and without scruples. Every day is just drinking and writing poetry, doing some affairs, and throwing all the national affairs out of the clouds.
Chen Shubao's favorite in the harem is Zhang Lihua Guifei, she was born with long hair, coupled with a charming and beautiful look, the color can be poured into the country, and she is deeply favored by Chen Shubao.
Later, Chen Shubao recruited seven beautiful women from all over the world, including Dewang and Li Ermei, Zhang, Xue Ershuyuan, Yuan Zhaoyi, He Jieyu, and Jiang Xiurong, so Chen Shubao became more addicted to wine and no longer paid attention to political affairs.
At this time, in the Chen Dynasty, it was the villains who were in charge, and they colluded with the harem concubines to do everything they could to please the emperor, and made the Chen Dynasty chaotic, causing the government and the public to lose confidence in Chen Shubao's rule.
The territory of Southern Chen was full of smoke and rebellions against Chen Shubao's rule.
At this time, the Sui Dynasty in the north was fiercely preparing to attack the Chen Dynasty in the south. In 581, Yang Jian usurped the throne and established himself, taking Northern Zhou and replacing it with Sui, and preparing to unify the world. However, because the national strength was not enough to prepare for the needs of the world, Yang Jian adopted a policy of good relations with Chen Tong.
In 588, Chen Shubao had the intention of the Northern Expedition, so he sent people to the Sui Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked people to lead troops to attack the Sui territories. Yang Jian was furious and decided to cut down Chen.
At the end of 588, the Sui general Yang Su led an army to attack the Chen army at night, annihilating it completely, and then went west down the river to capture Chen Di.
The guards along the river issued an urgent battle report and requested support, but they were detained by Chen Shubao's traitors, causing Chen Jun to miss the fighter, so he was passive everywhere.
Chen Shubao did not know the urgency of the military situation at this time, did not increase the number of troops for defense, did not make preparations, or indulged in wine and poetry as usual.
In 589, the Sui generals He Ruobi and Han Huhu crossed the Yangtze River and marched towards The Capital of Chen.
After hearing the news, Chen Shubao was anxious and immediately sent the generals Xiao Moke, Fan Yi, Lu Guangda, and others to go out to defend, but they were not at ease with them, and they were repeatedly replaced, which made the morale of the Chen army low, and they were quickly defeated by the Sui army and forced the outskirts of the Chen capital Jiankang.
Chen Shubao hurriedly ordered Xiao Moke to defend the capital. However, in a very critical situation, Chen Shubao did not forget to be merry and happy, and he saw that Xiao Moke's wife was young and beautiful, so he committed adultery with her.
As a result, Xiao Moke knew about it, and he was so angry that he was unwilling to fight for Chen Shubao's life anymore.
The Sui army attacked the city in a big way, and soon the city gate was breached, and the traitors who had been flattered around Chen Shubao at this time fell without a fight, and led the Sui army to search for Chen Shubao.
Soon, Chen Shubao was captured by the Sui general Han Huhu. Nan Chen perished.
After Chen Shubao was captured, Yang Jian did not kill him, but let him live until he died of illness in Luoyang in the fourth year of the Common Era.
Yang Guang posthumously referred to chen Shubao as "Jiao" based on his behavior during his lifetime. Later, because the character "炀" was occupied by Yang Guang himself, the history called Chen Shubao the Duke of the Great Wall.
Chen Shubao knelt down to the concubine
It is reported that after Chen Shubao ascended the throne, he played games with concubines day and night, basically ignored the major affairs of the imperial court, and even made a poem "Yushu Backyard Flower" to describe his life - Li Yu Fanglin to the High Pavilion, the new dress of the yan quality of the city; Yingto did not enter at first, and smiled at each other. The face of the demon is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines in the backyard; The flowers do not bloom and fall for a long time, and the fallen red is full of silence.
In Chen Shubao's harem, it is rumored that there is a beautiful person - her name is Zhang Lihua.
According to the historical records: her hair is seven feet long, her light can be discerned, her face is like a morning glow, her skin is like white snow, her eyes are like autumn water, her eyebrows are more than distant mountains, and her eyes are dazzling between Gu Pan, reflecting left and right.
From these descriptions, it can be seen that Zhang Lihua is indeed a beauty, and then Chen Shubao is fascinated by her and listens to her for everything.
Shu Bao ascended the throne, that is, Zhang Lihua was a noble concubine, and Gong and Kong Ershi were made noble concubines.
The position of the noble concubine is only one level away from the empress, and the concubine is under the noble concubine.
Empress Shen's nature was idyllic, and she could not be pleased with the lord, so she simply let the affairs of the six palaces be presided over by the noble concubines, and she only hung up the false name of an empress, lived frugally, dressed without decoration, and even the left and right maids were only left, just watching the historical books every day, idly reciting Buddhist scriptures, as a pastime.
When Zhang Guifei got this opportunity, she was even more charming, and she and Shu Bao were inseparable day and night. Shu Bao was sick and bedridden, and went to Zhu Ji and left Zhang Guifei alone to accompany him.
After his illness was cured, Shu Bao also selected beautiful women, and the seven people of King Li Zhang Xue Yuan He Jiang were all hibiscus like faces and willows, and Shu Bao took turns to summon them every day.
It's just that although the rain and dew are inherited, they are not as deep as Zhang Lihua's deep invitation to the Lord.
Zhang Guifei accidentally looked forward to it, and she was radiant. Whenever you stand on the pavilion with beautiful makeup and jade, you can gaze at it and float like a fairy on Pengdao Island.
Coupled with her natural wisdom, good at flattery, and strong memory, how not to let Shu Bao fall in love. At first, he was content to take charge of the affairs of the palace, but later he began to interfere in the government.
In order to please Zhang Lihua, Chen Shubao knelt down twice.
The first time was when Chen Shubao got along with her, he once knelt down with both hands and handed her the golden noodles, the purpose was very simple, bo red face and smile.
The second time, there was something special, that is, Chen Shubao ordered the construction of the Great Emperor Temple, creating a seven-level floating map, but Zhang Lihua hated the monk since childhood, and strongly opposed it, in order to make Zhang Lihua happy, Chen Shubao knelt down again, and Zhang Concubine had to agree.
However, the promise was of no use, because the Temple of the Emperor was burned down before it was completed.
Shu Bao was addicted to wine and often did not look at things. All the notices of the hundred officials were passed into the palace by the eunuchs Cai Tuo'er and Li Xidu.
Shu Bao hugged Lihua on his lap and draped it with her, and shared it with her. There are some things that even Cai Tuo'er and Li Xidu can't remember, but Lihua can answer them one by one, without missing a single one.
Shu Bao often takes Lihua's ruling as the basis and the original text is issued. Lihua also knows how to envelop the internal servants, whether it is a eunuch palace girl, they are all praised as noble concubines Dehui, and their names are raised, and they are more pleasing and reassuring to Uncle Bao.
Since they are colluding inside and outside, they are adulterers on the surface, and the families of the harem have violated the law, as long as they wag their tails and beg for mercy to the noble concubines, they can wash on their behalf.
The princes and ministers, if they do not obey the will, will be rebuked. Since then, the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan did not know that there was Chen Shubao, but it knew that there was Zhang Guifei.
A small group of people in the DPRK used the movement Zhang Lihua to promote officials and get rich to avoid disasters. A group of newly promoted upstarts are all good at greeting and scorning, and they will also loot the people's fat and people's ointment to provide good hands in the inner government.
Shu Bao took the opportunity to make people build a large number of civil engineering, build the three pavilions of Linchun, Jieqi, and Wangxian, each tens of meters high, and spread dozens of rooms, dazzlingly decorating beaded jade, mixed with beads, beaded curtains on the outside, and treasure beds and treasure tents inside, all of which are magnificent and rare, and strange and strange.
Every time the breeze blows, the incense reaches for miles, the rising sun reflects, and the light penetrates the backyard. Your Excellency's stones are mountains, water diversion is ponds, strange flowers are planted, exotic flowers are planted, and pole dyes are prepared.
Shu Bao lived in Linchun Pavilion, Zhang Guifei lived in Jieqi Pavilion, and Gong and Kong Ergui's concubines lived in Wangxian Pavilion. There is a compound road built between the three pavilions, and Shu Bao has been lucky for three people in one night since then, and he is not tired of it.
A group of close courtiers and villains also threw themselves into their favor, each greedy, and greeted peace. The servant Jiang Zong, whose name is Zaifu, is not pro-government affairs, but just feasts and plays.
Many women were summoned, and Shu Bao was appointed as a female bachelor. At each banquet, the concubines gathered, the female bachelors and the guests, sat on both sides, flew drunk on the moon, that is, the evening chanting, and sang this reward, nothing more than a man's words, beautiful and moving.
Later, more than a thousand so-called wise women were selected to learn new tunes, and according to the song, they were divided into parts and sung.
Songs include "Yushu Backyard Flower" and so on. Shu Bao also roughly understands the word endowment, many modifications, slight comments, are praise concubines, exaggerated happy words and sentences.
Lord Chen Hou was drunk and dreaming of death all day, and he didn't know anything about Jiangbei. At that time, Northern Zhou had been usurped by Yang Jian and established the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Jian was ambitious and raised troops to invade the south, intending to unify China and make the most of his great talents and grand plans. When the Sui lord Yang Jianbing divided into three roads, Chen Bing Jiangbei, and the tiger looked at him, Chen Hou lord still sat back and relaxed, and the music was as usual, playing music and wine, and giving poetry without quitting.
When the Sui Dynasty army approached, fang re-established rewards, recruited soldiers, monks, nuns, and Taoists, and did their best to perform the service. The responsibility for guarding the capital was entrusted to the hussar general Xiao Maha.
Maha deployed his army, dressed in strict clothes, ordered his wife to enter the palace to wait for orders, and led his army out of the capital to resist the enemy. Maha's wife, Miao Nian, is beautiful and beautiful, and when she enters the palace, she worships Uncle Bao.
When Shu Bao saw her at that time, he was thrilled, but he did not expect that there was such a special color in the subordinate room, and once they met, they left the important affairs of the state behind and put them aside, so they ordered the banquet to be treated and kept in the palace.
During the banquet, the miscellaneous people were dismissed as many as possible, and flirted with Maha's wife. The woman's heart was mostly snobbish, and she saw that the Son of Heaven liked it, and because of Maha's old age and physical weakness, she was far less than Shu Bao's affair, and for a while she was in a coma, and she was led to the dragon bed by Shu Bao, and reluctantly accepted the rain and dew.
Xiao Maha was fighting on the front line, when suddenly a family report arrived, and his wife's room was kept in the palace for several days, and he knew that things were not good, and he secretly cursed several times, unwilling to do his best, so he waited and watched until he was captured.
Chen Shubao heard that the Sui army had entered the city, and took Zhang Guifei and Kong Guifei with him, and when they arrived at the Jingyang Palace, the three of them were tied together and thrown into the well.
Sui Bing entered the palace, after several searches, heard the sound of crying in the well, fell rope up, only to see a man and two women, the man is Chen Shubao.
Only then did he behead Zhang Lihua and escort Empress Chen's uncle Bao into Sui to see Emperor Wen of Sui' Yang Jian. At this point, the north and south of the great river were unified by the Sui Dynasty.
Chen Shubao's inaction also made Southern Chen deep in the water, and eventually the Sui soldiers unified the whole country, and Chen Shubao wrote a letter of surrender by hand, which also became Chen Shubao's greatest shame. After Chen Shubao surrendered for 16 years, he fell ill and died, living for 52 years.
In the 7 years that Chen Shubao was emperor, he basically ignored the government and knew that he was a dimwitted monarch. This gentleman also has another side, that is, he can give everything for the concubine, including kneeling. The emperor kneels before his concubine, which is also unique in history.
