In April 907, Zhu Wen declared himself emperor and established Later Liang. The process of usurping the throne was very bloody, and Zhu Wen successively killed many clans and ministers loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and even killed two emperors. It is reasonable to say that Zhu Wen even dared to kill the emperor, and should be a fierce character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but many people do not know, in fact, Zhu Wen also has two people who make him fearful, and even after being scolded, he does not dare to return his mouth! So who are these two people?

The first person to make Zhu Wen awe was his wife, Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui and Zhu Wen are from the same village, both from Songzhou County, but Zhang Hui's family is very rich, and she is very beautiful, in modern parlance, it is definitely a "white rich beauty". Zhu Wen's family is very poor, but he still admires Zhang Hui very much, "Wen Shi smells Zhang has a posture, selfish admiration, and Lihua sighs." Later, the world was in chaos, and the two people actually came together. Zhu Wen garrisoned Tongzhou, "to be in the midst of the soldiers, because of the courtesy of women."
Although the identities of the two people have changed, Zhu Wen still respects Zhang Hui very much, and even fears his wife, "Hou Xian is shrewd and fierce, and he has a polite way, although Taizu is violent, he also tastes fear." Zhu Wen led the troops outside, often staining flowers and weeds, but because of his fear of Zhang Hui, he never dared to bring those people back to Kaifeng. In addition to restraining Zhu Wen in his life, Zhang Hui was also Zhu Wen's "military master", and "every army that plans the country must first extend his visit."
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, loyal brother</h1>
The second person who made Zhu Wen awe was his eldest brother Zhu Quanyu. It turned out that there were three brothers in Zhu Wen's family, he was the third oldest, and later ran away from home with the second brother, but then the second brother died in battle. After that, Zhu Wen became the emissary of the Tang Dynasty, and he did not forget the old mother and brother in the family, so he sent someone to take them to his side. Don't look at Zhu Quanyu as an old farmer, but he is loyal and loyal, and he is very dissatisfied with the usurpation of the throne by the third brother.
Zhu Wen called himself empress dowager and held a grand banquet, and everyone was very happy to drink. At this time, Zhu Quanyu threw the dice into the basin and shouted to Zhu Wen: "Zhu San, a hundred people of Erzhong Mountain, when the Son of Heaven uses Ru as an envoy to the four towns, what is the burden of Yu Ru?" And destroy his Tang family for three hundred years, I will see the Ru Chiqi clan, an use Bowei! "The atmosphere at that time was very awkward, if it was someone else, he would have been executed by Zhu Wen a long time ago." But Zhu Quanyu was the eldest brother after all, the eldest brother was like a father, and Zhu Quanzhong did not dare to do so.

Zhang Hui was Zhu Wen's inner helper, but she fell ill and died in 904, a turning point in Zhu Wen's life. Previously, due to Zhang Hui's discipline, Zhu Wen did not dare to come hulai; after Zhang Hui's death, he began to "indulge in adultery, flesh and bones, and thin and desolate", and was eventually killed by his own son. Later generations spoke highly of Zhang Hui, "I can only use the virtue of gentleness to make the heart of the jackal, such as zhang's people, not also virtuous!" ”
Speaking of Zhu Quanyu, although he publicly accused Zhu Wen, he was not punished, and he was later crowned king. Zhu Quanyu also did not want to live in Kaifeng, so he often returned to his hometown. In 912, Zhu Wen became seriously ill, Zhu Quanyu came to visit, and the two brothers "held each other and wept". It was not until 916 that Zhu Quanyu fell ill and died at home. History proves that although Zhu Quanyu has little culture, he accurately predicts the outcome of Zhu Wen and his descendants.
