After the death of Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, the power of the state of Wu was controlled by Xu Wen, and the king of Wu, Yang Long, acted like a wooden carved clay sculpture, and Xu Wen appointed a strategist Yan Keqiu to carry out reforms in the state of Wu, legislating, provincial punishment, light military service, and the rule of the state of Wu.
However, Xu Wen's assumption of power made many people dissatisfied, fuzhou thorn Shi Wei Quan irony was the first to jump out, he contacted Yuan Zhou thorn Shi Peng Yanzhang, Jizhou thorn Shi Peng Zhen and Xinzhou thorn Shi Weizai to advocate soldiers claiming to restore the foundation of the old Wu king, straight to Jiangxi's first important town of Hongzhou, Hongzhou City is now Nanchang, is the famous easy to defend and difficult to attack, Xu Wen's close general Liu Wei guarded this town, he asked for help in Yangzhou, Xu Wen sent another general Zhou Ben finally defeated Wei Quanyi and captured him alive back to Yangzhou. The rebellion made Xu Wen realize that the scope of his control was all in the north of the jiangsu and the control of a large area of land in the south of the river was not very favorable, so he declared himself the assassin of Shengzhou, and began to supervise the construction of the water division here, and let his adopted son Xu Zhihuan build the warship for the vice envoy governor.
This Xu Zhihuan was the future Ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, his original name was Li Sheng, his parents died in his infancy, and he was sent to the temple to be a small Shami, and Yang Xingmi was named by the Tang Dynasty as the King of Hongnong County. I happened to see Li Sheng, who had a strange appearance, and felt that this child was absolutely extraordinary, so he ordered someone to find an abbot to send this child to the palace, and he wanted to accept it as a righteous son.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son Yang Wo knew, made a big fuss in the palace, resolutely did not agree to let this foreign monk enter the palace, and finally Yang Xingmi was helpless, and transferred Li Sheng, who had been received to the palace, to Xu Wen as a righteous son, and when he became an adult, he changed his name to Xu Zhihuan, who was both literate and martial, calm and resolute, and won Xu Wen's heart, often saying to people, this child is a handsome master, the other sons are not worth mentioning, this time entrusted to him with heavy responsibilities, Xu Zhihuan also lived up to expectations, running a boat master, rigorous and meticulous, Xu Wen's power also became bigger and bigger,
At this time, the thirty-six friends who started the army with Yang Xingmi and a number of heavy soldiers, they were very dissatisfied with Xu Wen's control of state affairs, among them, li Yu, the general who had the best relationship with Yang Xingmi, looked down on Xu Wen even more, and often said to the left and right, Xu Wen He Xuren, when I and the king started the army, he was still at home and mud, and now he was the minister of Wu Guo, really angry LaoZi, this word quickly reached Xu Wen's ears, he ordered Li Yu to return to Yangzhou, Li Yu of course refused, in Xuanzhou refused to defend himself,
Xu Wen sent all the envoys to make Chai Ke use the army to conquest, attack yue Yu failed to break the city, he kidnapped Li Yu's younger son shouted, in Kaicheng surrender, your son was immediately beheaded under the city, Xu Wen sent emissaries to tell him to surrender to save the life of your whole family, Li Yu cherished his son's life, Kaesong surrendered, all commanded Chai Ke to use no credit, after entering the city to try to destroy Li Yu's entire family, since then everyone is afraid, dare not oppose Xu Wen again.
The political arena of the State of Wu was calm, but Xu Wen's family began a new round of fighting, the adopted son Xu Zhiyan made a storm in Shengzhou, and the sages and gentlemen rushed to vote, which made Xu Wen's eldest son Xu Zhixun greatly dissatisfied, he said to his subordinates, his father seemed to want to give the future of Wu Guo to this hungry and immortal wild monk, I could not stand still, he bought Xu Wen left and right to say bad things about Xu Zhiyan, the three became tigers, Xu Wen was also touched, he ordered, Xu Zhixuan was transferred to run the run of the regiment to train envoys, leaving Shengzhou, which had been in business for several years. The eldest son Xu Zhixun was appointed as the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu, responsible for all the affairs of Yangzhou City, and he also wanted to train the eldest son and prepare for the future heir, while he himself sat in Shengzhou.
But Xu Zhixun and Yang Xingmi's eldest son Yang Wo is very similar, are the second generation of Gui, Wen Chengwu is not enough, the biggest advantage is jealousy of Xian, he hates his adopted son with his father from the bottom of his heart, but this is the King of Wu personally assigned to his family He is helpless, this time to take power, he began to act recklessly,
At this time, Yang Longyan, the king of Wu, had already crowned Xu Wen as the grand chancellor, the Duke of Qi, and the two Zhejiang envoys, Xu Zhixun thought that King Wu was just a puppet, and insulted him wantonly, and a banquet was held in the palace of King Wu in the New Year, and the hundred officials were congratulated, Xu Zhixun suddenly proposed to act, he personally starred in the protagonist, King Wu played his slave, in the play he played Yang Long and scolded and scolded, and the courtiers dared to be angry and dare not speak,
After a few days, King Wu wanted to swim in the lake, Xu Zhixun heard that he also had to go with him, the scenery in the lake was beautiful, King Wu wanted to land to watch the scenery, the dragon boat docked, King Wu took the lead in landing, Xu Zhixun was furious, thinking that King Wu was disrespectful to him, took out a slingshot to hit King Wu, simply did not hit, King Wu came to the palace and returned with disappointment, Yang Long acted back to the palace alone, there was nothing he could do about it,
Disrespectful to King Wu, to the wild monk brother Xu Zhichen he hated even more to the bone, as a big problem in his heart, one day Xu Zhixun entered the court to meet King Wu, Xu Zhixun took the initiative to set up a family banquet, invited the brothers to drink together, Xu Zhichen went to the banquet to facilitate, the fourth brother Xu Zhichen secretly walked to the side and said only one word, fled, Xu Zhichen was frightened, flipped out of the low wall of the back door, ran away, Xu Zhixun saw that he went to facilitate the convenience of a long time, ordered his cronies Diao Yan to go after him, Diao Yan could catch up and even let Xu Zhiyan run away privately, It can be seen how unpopular Xu Zhixun is.
For King Wu and his brothers, the other ministers are even worse than pigs and dogs in his eyes, the minister Li Decheng's family singing and dancing gracefully, was heard by Xu Zhixun, forcibly demanded, Li Decheng excused this woman to marry, Xu Zhixun sent people with an ultimatum If you do not send a kabuki, I will kill your whole family, and the frightened Li Decheng quickly sent the singing trick in a small car.
In the palace, Wu Wang Su Wei Li Qiu, Ma Qian contacted several people to prepare to go out to this harm, ambushed in the palace, when Xu Zhixun entered the dynasty they led the crowd to sneak attack, the two sides fought fiercely, Xu Zhixun had few people, and it seemed that he was going to fall into the wind, the general Zhu Jin came to his aid, subdued Li Qiu, Ma Qian and other Su guards, Xu Zhixun was difficult not to die, but began to take revenge.
Zhu Jin taught Xu Zhixun fist and foot kung fu in his early years, the two had a friendship between teachers and students, and this time they saved their lives, so Xu Zhixun often came to Zhu Jin's mansion to visit the door, one or two went to see Zhu Jin's concubines and mounts, opening his mouth, Zhu Jin was not good at turning his face, he had to say that this horse was fierce, another day you came to me to teach you the art of royal horses, and then gave him to you, the concubines were ugly, just ask the grand duke to let her go, Xu Zhixun thought, the old immortal fooled me with empty words, so he found a few assassins to slaughter Zhu Jin, did not expect that the assassins were all slaughtered by Zhu Jin, I did not expect that the assassins were all slaughtered by Zhu Jin. Buried directly in the house,
The next day Xu Zhixun saw that Zhu Jin was all right, the assassin did not return, and wondered in his heart, he thought that the assassin had run away with money, he issued a decree in the name of King Wu, transferred Zhu Jin as an envoy of Jinghuai Festival, and prepared to intercept him on the road, Zhu Jin knew that it was not a good thing to leave Beijing, so he sent someone to invite Xu Zhixun in the name of resignation, and also said that he would give him a BMW concubine.
Xu Zhixun came to the Zhu Mansion with joy, Zhu Jin was humble and courteous, and invited his concubines to make frequent toasts, Xu Zhixun was drunk and drunk, suddenly Zhu Jin shouted, Xu Zhixun plotted to abolish the establishment, killed the traitor on the orders of King Wu, a hammer smashed him, Xu Zhixun's servants and guards scattered, Zhu Jin carried the head into the palace to meet Wu Wang Yang Long, Yang Long played timid and afraid, frightened soul flew outside, shouted that this matter had nothing to do with me, Zhu Jin saw Yang Long acting so useless, angrily scolding The son of a is not enough and it is a big deal!
At this time, Xu Wen's henchmen gathered heavy troops to kill Zhu Jin, Zhu Jin climbed over the wall, broke his leg, knew that he had no life, drew his sword and killed himself, Xu Wen heard about the accident in Yangzhou in Jinling, drove the army back to Yangzhou, cut Zhu Jin full of doors, in order to vent his anger, at this time Yan Keqiu and others also rushed to persuade Xu Wen, and informed Xu Wen of what Xu Zhixun had done, Xu Wen was also angry with his son after he knew it, and ordered his adopted son Xu Zhihuan to be the deputy envoy of Huainan, the general town of Yangzhou, and he returned to Shengzhou and changed the name of Shengzhou to Jinling.
And Yang Longyan, who had already been proclaimed emperor, died of drunken dreams every day, and when he was twenty-four years old, he fell ill, Xu Wen rushed back to Yangzhou, Yang Longyan took Xu Wen's hand, and said, Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, once said to Wu Hou, that the heir is not talented, the Junyi is self-taking, and Qing can also act cheaply, Xu Wen listened, changed color, and said, Yang clan has passed on the three lords, that is, there is no man or woman, and he should also be established, if there is a vain remark, then order people to set up Yang Pu, the Duke of Danyang, as the overseer,
Soon Yang Pu succeeded to the throne, the new Wu king was only eleven years old, yangzhou power gradually fell into the hands of Xu Zhixuan, at this time Xu Wen was old and sick, several sons were not instruments, only rely on adopted sons, after a few years, Xu Wen found that Xu Zhihuan was already difficult to control, and he competed with himself, which made old Xu Wen very upset, and many years of business was actually making wedding clothes for others,
In 927, Xu Wen dispatched troops to prepare to return to Yangzhou to depose his adopted son Xu Zhihuan and pass the throne to his own son, but his body lit up with a red light, suddenly fell ill, and when he died, he called his second son Xu Zhiyuan to let him take over the power, Xu Zhiyuan first exiled several of his own brothers, a person who did not even trust his brothers, of course, no one fought for him, but he still felt good about himself, considered himself orthodox, and thought that Xu Zhiyuan did not dare to do anything to himself.
In 930 AD, Xu Zhihuan, who had already been forced by him to claim the title of emperor, ordered Xu Zhiyan to come to Yangzhou to see him, and Zhou Yanwang, who joined the army, dissuaded Xu Zhiqian from going to Yangzhou, Xu Zhiqian did not listen, and when he arrived in Yangzhou, he was put under the hat of "conspiracy and rebellion", put under house arrest, and ordered all the soldiers in Jinling Province to be returned to Emperor Yang Pu, so that the power of the State of Wu was returned to Xu Zhixuan, and in 937 AD, Emperor Yang Pu gave way to Xu Zhiyan, the founding number of Tang, the history was called Southern Tang, Xu Zhihuan restored his original surname to Li, changed his name to Li Sheng, and honored Yang Pu as emperor and moved to Danyang Palace Xu Wen was honored as Emperor Yizuwu, and the young monk called the emperor the beginning of a legend in the Ten Kingdoms.
