In 937 AD, during the chaotic period of the Nine Prefectures of the Central Plains, a Southern Wu official named Xu Zhihuan overthrew the Southern Wu emperor Yang Pu and established the Southern Tang Dynasty on the land of Southern Wu, introducing the historical period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms into a new process. Of course, such things are not uncommon in the history of our country for more than 5,000 years, and there is no longer any freshness. But this Southern Tang emperor named Xu Zhihuan was different, because what happened to him was enough to be called "a thousand turns".
Xu Zhihuan was born in 889 AD, and because he was born in the midst of war, the young Xu Zhihuan left his biological parents in the chaos and became a wandering beggar. But fortunately, the young Xu Zhihuan was born with full of cleverness, although he was repeatedly in danger in the process of fleeing, he was always able to turn the danger into a disaster and successfully escaped from the danger.
Until this year, Xu Zhiyi, who was only six years old, received the attention of Yang Xingmi, the emperor of Southern Wu, between accidental collisions, and was eventually adopted by Yang Xingmi as a righteous son.
Only at this time, Xu Zhihuan was still just a small beggar, and he could not get the favor of Yang Xingmi's own sons. In addition, the reason why Yang Xingmi adopted Xu Zhiyan was only to win the hearts and minds of the people in the local area. After discovering that his sons were extremely disgusted by Xu Zhihuan's existence, they sent him to the home of Xu Wen, the first counselor under him at that time.
The name Xu Zhihuan was also given to him by Xu Wen after seeing him.
But Xu Zhihuan's real name is not called this, and he does not even have the surname Xu. However, although Xu Zhihuan was young at that time, he also understood that he was still under the fence and had never said his real name. In fact, Xu Zhihuan's real name is Li Fu. In the early years, due to the war, he became a beggar in Haozhou and Sizhou and his biological father Li Rong.
At this time, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that this beggar of that year would actually replace Yang's Southern Wu later, establish a new country, and become the emperor of this country.
In addition to Li Fu's own story, there were also some very interesting things that happened to another person who was closely related to him.
In 909, Li Fu's adoptive father Xu Wen was promoted to "Shengzhou Assassin History", but he remained by Yang Xingmi's side and continued to advise him. After all, Xu Wen is a thorn in the history, and he can't always be absent from Shengzhou. As a result, Li Fu, who was already twenty years old, went to Shengzhou in place of Xu Wen as Xu Wen's son. It was also here that Li Fu became acquainted with his first wife, Wang Shi.
Wang was the daughter of Wang Rong, who later succeeded Xu Wen as the Assassin of Shengzhou, and since he had been in Shengzhou for several years at this time, Wang Rong already knew that his daughter and Xu Wen's adopted son were "privately destined for life", so he took the initiative to marry his daughter to him.
However, the Wang family is a family family after all, not to mention that Xu Wen at this time has become Yang Xingmi's prime minister, and Wang Rong himself is also a tangtang state assassin, naturally it is impossible to marry his daughter so casually. According to the etiquette system at that time, the Wang family had to be prepared to send their daughter to Xu Mansion. Moreover, this married daughter can not only marry only one daughter, but also have to choose a beautiful and skillful, the most important thing is that the Wang family can trust the "dowry lady" to marry with the Wang family.
Fortunately, the Wang family had long been prepared for this kind of thing, and the candidate who accompanied the Wang family to marry Li Fu had already been prepared.
The woman who accompanied the Wang clan to Li Fu as a dowry maid was named Song Fujin, and she was the daughter of a concubine of a large family in the Shengzhou capital many years ago. Because he grew up to be a water spirit, he was bought by Wang Rong in the palace when he passed by, and arranged for the Wang family, who was still young at that time.
It is also a coincidence that this Song Fujin grew up with the Wang family, not only did his appearance not lose to the Wang family, but he was even more powerful than the Wang family in reading and writing.
Although in ancient times, this woman could not enter the school to read and write, but the average large family would invite some special old gentlemen to the house to teach their daughters. This Song Fujin, as a close servant of the Wang clan, naturally also had to learn some simple literacy and hyphenation skills together, otherwise, how would he serve his own lady in the future? But Song Fujin was also a lady of a large family, although the family road fell, but the mind was not ignorant. After several years of study, Song Fujin not only learned well, but also had a relationship with this Wang family.
As a result, Song Fujin, who accompanied the Wang clan to marry Li Fu, also became a concubine of Li Fu on the recommendation of Li Fu, and soon left a son for Li Fu. Coupled with the fact that the Wang clan has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Li Fu in the following years, this Song Fujin naturally became a link between Li Fu and the Wang family.
Fortunately, this Song Fujin is not a jealous person, under the reconciliation of Song Fujin, not only the relationship between the Wang clan and Song Fujin has become closer, but the conjugal relationship between Li Fu and the Wang clan has not changed because the Wang clan has not been born.
Unfortunately, the good days did not last long, and after marrying Li Fu for a few years, this Wang clan did not know what kind of illness it was, but in just a few months, it was destroyed and finally died. According to folk records of wild history, since the Wang clan fell ill, Li Fu and Song Fujin took turns to wait in front of the bed, which shows the deep friendship between their husband and wife and sisters.
Facts have proved that the friendship between the Wang clan and Song Fujin is deep, and Song Fujin has indeed done a lot of things for the harmony between the Wang clan and Li Fujin. So soon after Wang's death, Li Fu corrected the position of Song Fujin's concubine, so that the sister who entered the palace with Wang became the new head of the family.
By 937 CE, the forty-eight-year-old Li Fu deposed the Southern Wu emperor Yang Pu and established the later Southern Tang dynasty under the name of Daqi.
Li Fu became emperor, and the identity of Song Fujin, who became Li Fuzheng's wife, naturally had to change. But at this time, Song Fujin actually took the initiative to find Li Fu and asked Li Fu to first canonize the Wang clan, who had been dead for many years, and then canonize her. When Li Fu, who was already old, heard that Song Fujin was still thinking about his sister at that time, he immediately felt that he had done the right thing to help Song Fujin do.
Then, in the subsequent canonizations, Li Fu did not posthumously crown the dead Wang shi as empress, but instead gave the title of "Shun Concubine". As for this Song Fujin, she can be said to be the luckiest "dowry lady", she became the first empress since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Until later, Li Fu's temperament changed drastically in his old age, and he wanted to kill people at every turn, and only Song Fujin alone could persuade him to move. Others, even Li Jing, who later became the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, still did not have half a point of voice in front of him. However, Song Fujin did not feel proud of this, but carefully analyzed the rights and wrongs of his subordinates for Li Fu, and then let Li Fu decide whether to reward or punish.
In this way, the story of Li Fu, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Empress Song Fujin of Yuanjing, and the three concubines of the Shunfei Wang clan became a beautiful talk in the folk. It is precisely because of this that between the miscellaneous theories of wild history, such a story will be left.
