Because the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is not very influential in China, so people do not understand the founding emperor of Later Liang, Zhu Wen, in fact, Zhu Wen is also a very powerful role in history, in the late Tang Dynasty, he overthrew the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang.
However, such a founding emperor, the end is extremely bleak, the reason is actually with his daughter-in-law to pick up ashes, and finally killed by his son, Zhu Wen's reputation in history is not bad, often people use "animals are not as good as" to describe him.
After Zhu Wen became emperor, in order to maintain his authority, he liked to kill innocents indiscriminately, and often killed him, so many people were afraid of him, but one of the most absurd things he did was lustful, indulging in sound and color dogs and horses all day long, not only raping other people's wives, sometimes even his own daughter-in-law.
Zhu Wen often sent his sons to the front line to fight, taking the opportunity to recruit his daughter-in-law into the palace to serve in the palace, what is unexpected is that his sons not only ignored it in order to seize the throne, but even connived with his wife to compete for favors, so Zhu Wen's harem not only had his own concubines, but also his own daughter-in-law.
In such a lascivious life, the Later Liang regime quickly decayed, and after the death of Zhu Wen's opponent Li Keyong, his son Li Cunxun succeeded to the throne, defeating Zhu Wen's sons on the front line many times, Zhu Wen once lamented that "when a son is born like Li Cunxun, Li Keyong is still alive although he dies!" My son is like a pig dog compared to it! ”
The son was not used, and he personally went into battle, Zhu Wen personally led a large army to conquer Hebei in the second year of Qianhua, but returned with a big defeat, in this situation, the Later Liang regime was already in danger, and Zhu Wen was even more in a dilemma in the choice of heir.
After the death of Zhu Wen's eldest son Zhu Youyu, the Later Liang regime was even more involved in the dispute over the crown prince, Zhu Wen's sons were many, but they were useless, Zhu Wen worried that after his death, the heir was not Li Cunxun's opponent, compared to his sons, only the adopted son Zhu Youwen still had some skills, in order to preserve the Later Liang regime, Zhu Wen deliberately let his adopted son Zhu Youwen take the throne.
Unexpectedly, because his daughter-in-law was in trouble, at that time Zhu Youwen was not in the capital, but in Kaifeng, Zhu Wen handed over the chuanguo jade seal to Zhu Youwen's wife Wang Shi, and asked Wang Shi to recall Zhu Youwen to prepare for the throne, so that Zhu Wen did not expect that this matter was learned by his wife Zhang Shi, who was arranged by his own son Zhu Youjue in the palace, and Zhang Shi immediately passed on the news to Zhu Youjue.
Zhu Youjue knew that once Zhu Wen passed the throne to Zhu Youwen, there would be absolutely no good end for himself, so he infiltrated the palace to plot against Zhu Wen's palace garrison, zuo long and tiger army, and launched a coup d'état.
When Zhu Youjue led the soldiers to surround Zhu Wen's palace, Zhu Wen, who was sleeping, was awakened and asked: Who is the rebel? Zhu Youjue replied, "It's not someone else, it's me."
After Zhu Wen heard this, he scolded loudly: "I already suspected this thief, and I was angry and did not kill him." You are so rebellious, killing your father and usurping the throne, will God let you go? ”
Zhu Youjue ignored Zhu Wen and directly sent his men to slash and kill Zhu Wen, although Zhu Wen rose to escape, but the entire palace was already surrounded, and after struggling for a while, he was stabbed to death by Zhu Youjue's men.
After Zhu Wen was killed, Zhu Youjue dug a pit directly from the palace, wrapped Zhu Wen's body with a mosquito net, and buried it in it, waiting until Zhu Youjue sat firmly on the throne before ordering his men to bury Zhu Wen in xuanling.
Poor founding emperors of the first generation, because of the ashes with their daughter-in-law, led to the leakage of important information, and they were also killed by their own sons.
