Li Jing (916 – September 12, 961), courtesy name Xu Jingtong and Xu Yao (李瑶), courtesy name Boyu, was a native of Pengcheng County, Xuzhou (present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province), born in Shengzhou (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), the eldest son of Li Fu of Tang Liezu and the second emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who ascended the throne in 943. Later, because of the threat of Later Zhou, he stripped off the imperial title and changed his title to The Lord of the State, and the history was called the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After Li Jing ascended the throne, he began to use troops on a large scale to eliminate the chu and Fujian states. During his reign, the Southern Tang Dynasty was the largest. However, Li Jing's extravagance led to political corruption and a decline in national strength, and he was captured by Later Zhou of the huainan river north of the river, so he moved the capital from Jinling to Hongzhou, called Nanchang Prefecture. He died in Nanchang in 961 at the age of forty-six and was buried in Shunling. After his death, he was granted the permission of the suzerainty Song Dynasty and was posthumously honored with the title of Emperor Yuanzong of the Temple, and was posthumously honored as Emperor Xuanxiao of Ming Dao Chongde Wen. His poems were included in the "Two Main Words of the Southern Tang Dynasty".
Li Jing is a good reader and versatile. He often drank and wrote poems with his favorite ministers Han Xizai and Feng Yanwei. His words, sincere feelings, fresh style, language is not carved, "Xiaolou blows through the jade sheng han" is a famous sentence that has flowed through the ages.
Li Jing (李璟), courtesy name Boyu , was originally named Li Jingtong ( Li Jingtong ) , a native of Xuzhou ( present-day Xuzhou , Jiangsu ) , the eldest son of Li Fu ( Li Fu ) of the Southern Tang Dynasty , and his mother was Empress Yuanjing of the Song clan. Li Jing's father, Li Fu, was originally the adopted son of Xu Wen, a southern Wu chancellor. Li Jing initially served as langzhong of the driving department, and later was promoted to the rank of general of Zhuwei. After Xu Wen's death, Li Fu became a dictatorship, with Li Jing as the shangshu of the military department and the governor of the government. In the first year of Tianzuo (935), Li Fu was made the Prince of Qi and made Li Jing crown prince. In the second year of Tianzuo (936), Li Fuzhen guarded Jinling (present-day Nanjing), leaving Li Jing as Situ and Tongping Zhangshi, and together with Song Qiqiu and Wang Lingmou in Guangling, jointly assisted Yang Pu, the emperor of Southern Wurui. When Li Fu wanted to usurp the throne, he summoned Li Jing back to Jinling as the deputy governor. In the first year of Shengyuan (937), Li Fu deposed Yang Pu, established himself as emperor, established the Southern Tang Dynasty, and made Li Jing the King of Wu, and later the Prince of Qi. In August of the fourth year of Shengyuan (940), he was made crown prince.
In the seventh year of Shengyuan (943), Li Fu died, and Li Jing succeeded to the throne, changing his era name to Baoda. He honored his mother Song shi as the empress dowager and concubine Zhong shi as empress. Li Jingsui, the Prince of Shou, was made the King of Yan, and Li Jingda, the King of Xuancheng, was the King of E, and Li Jingkui had not been crowned king before, but was now the King of Baoning. In the autumn of the same year, Li Jingsui was renamed the King of Qi, the Marshal of the Soldiers and Horses of zhudao, the Taiwei, and the Zhongshu Ling, and Li Jingda was made the King of Yan and the deputy marshal, and an alliance was established in front of Li Fu's coffin, and they met their brothers to succeed him. He made his son Li Hongji the Prince of Nanchang and the Capital of Jiang.
In October of the first year of Bao Da (943), he attacked zhang Yuxian, a demon thief in Qianzhou. Zhang Yuxian was a minor official in Boluo County, Xunzhou. According to the "New History of the Five Dynasties", at the beginning, a god and immortal descended on the homes of a hundred people in Boluo County, and every word for the people was right. Zhang Yuxian prayed to the gods, and the gods said, "Zhang Yuxian is an arhat and can stay and serve me." At this time, the Southern Han Emperor Liu Gong died, his son Liu Yue just succeeded to the throne, the Lingnan thieves revolted, there were more than a thousand people, there was no commander, asked the god, who should be the lord, god said Zhang Yuxian can, so they jointly promoted Zhang Yuxian as the commander. Zhang Yuxian called himself the Eighth King of Zhongtian, changed his name to Yuan Yongle, set up official subordinates, and all the people wore big red clothes, attacked the outside of the ridge, and asked where the god should go, and the god said: "You should cross the ridge to attack Qianzhou." So he attacked Nankang, and Jia Hao could not resist. Zhang Yuxian occupied Baiyun Cave and built a palace, with more than 100,000 people, and successively attacked the counties. Li Jing sent The Hongzhou camp Tun Yu Waiting Yan Si and Tong Shi Sheren Bian Ho to lead an army to attack. Zhang Yuxian asked the god, and the god no longer spoke, and the people were very afraid, so Zhang Yuxian was captured and surrendered.
Li Jing made Feng Yanshu and Chang Mengxi the Hanlin scholars, Feng Yanlu the Zhongshu Sheren, Chen Jue the Privy Councillor, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui the deputy envoys. Chang Mengxi was on duty at the Xuanzheng Palace and was in charge of secret orders, while Feng Yanmi and others were all monopolized by adultery, which the Southern Tang people called the "Five Ghosts". Chang Mengxi repeatedly said that these five people could not be used, and Li Jing did not adopt them. In December, Li Jing ordered that the Chinese and foreign governments entrust Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, to participate in the pre-decision, and only Chen Jue and Cha Wenhui could play a role, and the courtiers were not allowed to enter if they were not summoned. In the matter, Xiao Yu was extremely outspoken and not reported. The guards all waited for Jia Chong to go to the inner chamber to ask li Jing, saying: "The subject has served the former emperor for thirty years, and knows that the reason why the former emperor has achieved his deeds is that they all use the advice of the group of sages, so the connection is estranged and has not been blocked, but there are still those who cannot reach the next situation." Now that His Majesty has recently ascended the throne, who is he trusting? Why immediately cut off from your subordinates? A hundred-year-old will die, I'm afraid I can't see you again. So he wept and wept, and Li Jing was touched by it, led him to sit down with him, gave him food and comfort, and stopped the orders he had issued.
Map of the State of Min in 954
In February of the second year of Bao Da (944), the State of Min was re-encountered, Zhu Wenjin killed his king Yanxi, and Zhu Wenjin established himself as a monarch. At this time, Wang Yanxi's younger brother Wang Yanzheng was also established on his own in Jianzhou, with the national name Yin. The Wang brothers fought against each other and used troops for many years, resulting in great chaos in the state of Fujian, and Li Jing took advantage of the chaos to send Cha Wenhui and Zang Xun to attack Jianzhou. When Wang Yanzheng heard that Southern Tang was about to attack, he sent someone to deceive the Fuzhou garrison and said, "The Southern Tang army has helped me to conquer the rebels. The people of Fuzhou kept his word, and in the third year of Baoda (945), they jointly killed Zhu Wenjin and others and surrendered Wang Yanzheng, who restored the state name to "Da Min" and sent his nephew Wang Jichang to guard Fuzhou. After Chawen Hui's tun soldier Jianyang, the Fuzhou general Li Renda killed Wang Jichang and claimed to stay, and the Quanzhou guard general Liu Congguo also killed Shi Huang Shaopo and sent money and goods to Cha Wenhui.
In August of the fourth year of Bao da (946), Cha Wenhui took advantage of the victory to conquer the four prefectures of Jian, Ting, Quan, and Zhang, and Wang Yanzheng was defeated and the state of Min was destroyed. Li Jing divided the three counties of Yanping, Jianpu, and Fusha, set up Jianzhou, and moved the Yanzheng family to Jinling. Wang Yanzheng was made the envoy of Raozhou Jiedushi, Li Renda was the envoy of Fuzhou Jiedushi, and Liu Congwei was the emissary of The Qingyuan Army.
Although the Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the State of Min, it did not completely rule the Min Dynasty, and the remnants of the force remained. After Li Jing destroyed the State of Min, he wanted to withdraw his troops, but Cha Wenhui, Chen Jue, and others all said: "Li Renda and other remnants are still there, so it is better to take advantage of the victory and take them all." Chen Jue himself said that he could recruit Li Renda and others without a single soldier. Li Jing took Chen Jue as his emissary and summoned Li Ren to the Jinling Dynasty, but Li Renda did not obey. Chen Jue was ashamed, returned to Jianzhou, and pretended to be Li Jing's order to send the Ting, Jian, Xin, and Fuzhou troops to attack Li Renda. At that time, Wei Cen pacified Zhang, Quan Erzhou, and when he heard that Chen Jue had raised troops, he also sent troops to join Chen Jue without authorization. Li Jing was furious, and Feng Yanshu and others said: "The army has moved and cannot be stopped. Therefore, with Wang Chongwen as the envoy and Wang Jianfeng as the deputy envoy, the additional troops met Chen Jue and Wei Cen, and Feng Yanlu, Wei Cen, and Chen Jue as the envoys of the supervising army.
Li Renda sent money and goods to Wu Yue, and Wu Yue responded to Li Renda with 30,000 soldiers. Chen Jue and others competed for merit, and the advance and retreat did not echo each other, Feng Yanlu and Wu Yue's army fought first, and fled in a big defeat, and all armies collapsed and returned. Li Jing was very angry and sent emissaries to Suo Na Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu to Jinling. And Feng Yanmi was the prime minister, and Song Qiqiu summoned him from Mount Jiuhua as a taifu to intercede for them, so he exiled Chen Jue to Puzhou and Feng Yanlu to Shuzhou. Han Xizai wrote a letter to the extreme, asking chen jue and others to be killed, and Song Qiqiu hated it very much and degraded Han Xizai as Sima of Hezhou. In the same year, the Khitan attacked the Jing Division, and the Central Plains were left without a lord, and Li Jingzheng had no time to look north because of Chen Jue and other fatigued troops. In the imperial history, Jiang Wenwei played the impeachment of the chancellor Feng Yanmi and the counselor Wei Cen for chaos, and Chen Jue was equivalent to the crime without being deposed, and the words were very earnest and blunt. Li Jing was furious and replied to Jiang Wenwei's resignation, degrading him to join the army as a jiangzhou priest, or Feng Yanwei as a young fu and Wei Cen as a prince to wash horses.
In the fifth year of Baoda (947), Li Jing made his younger brother Li Jingsui the emperor's brother-in-law, Li Jingda the marshal, and the king of Qi; and Li Hongji, the prince of Nanchang, was made the deputy marshal and the king of Yan. Shi Khitan sent envoys to visit, and Jia Tan, the military department Shangshu, returned to visit.
In the sixth year of Baoda (948), Later Han Li Shouzhen rebelled in the river and sent his guest general Zhu Yuan to ask for help, Li Jing made Li Jinquan an envoy to the northern camp with runzhou jiedu, sent an army to attack Shuyang, heard that Li Shouzhen had been defeated, so he returned to the division. At that time, the Later Han Emperor Liu Chengyou was young, the Central Plains were weak, and most of the thieves in Huaibei sent money and goods to Li Jing, who sent Emperor Fuhui to the sea and the si prefectures to recruit them.
In the eighth year of Bao da (950), Fuzhou spread a rumor that "Wu Yue's defenders rebelled, killed Li Renda and fled." "Send someone to ask Jianzhou Jiedu to make Cha Wenhui, Cha Wenhui and Jianzhou Thorn Shi Chen Zhi take a boat from the Minjiang River to deal with it." Fuzhou greeted it with troops. Chen Zhi said: "The Min people are deceitful and untrustworthy, and they should be stationed on the banks of the river to slowly plot. Cha Wenhui said: "After a long time, things will change, take advantage of the fact that they are not yet stable, and quickly attack them." "Leaving Chen Zhi stationed at the mouth of the Tunjiang River, he entered the west gate by himself, and the ambush suddenly broke out, and Cha Wenhui was captured. Chen Shi fought against the Yue, defeated them, and captured the general Ma Xian. Li Jing returned the horse to Yue, and Yue also returned chawen hui to Li Jing. In the same year, the Southern Chu monarch Ma Xiguang killed his brother Ma Xicai, and Ma Xicao established himself.
In the autumn of the ninth year of Bao Da (951), the Chu people imprisoned Ma Xicai at Hengshan Mountain, established his brother Ma Xichong, and attached himself to Li Jing, and southern Chu was in chaos. Li Jing sent Xinzhou to attack Southern Chu and attack the Southern Chu capital Tanzhou (潭州, in modern Changsha, Hunan), and Southern Chu perished. All the Ma family moved to Jinling, and Li Jing made Ma Xicao the emissary of Hongzhou Jiedushi, Ma Xichong as the emissary of Shuzhou Jiedushi, and Bianhao as the emissary of Hunan Jiedushi.
In the tenth year of Baoda (952), the four counties of Hongzhou Gao'an, Qingjiang, Wanzai, and Shanggao were divided, and the prefecture of Yunzhou was established. With Feng Yanmi and Sun Ji as his left and right servants, Tongping Zhangshi was shot. The Southern Han Emperor Liu Sheng took advantage of the Rebellion of Southern Chu to capture Guiguan, and Li Jing sent the general Zhang Luan to fight for it, but did not conquer it. Chu land was newly pacified, the treasury was empty, and the chancellor Feng Yanshu, who was credited with conquering Southern Chu, did not want to charge Southern Tang, so he increased the endowment of the people of Southern Chu to feed the army, and the Chu people rebelled against it, and Chu attacked Liu Yan on the border pickaxe, which could not be defended, and fled back to Southern Tang.
Later Zhou attacked southern Tang
In November of the thirteenth year of Baoda (955), the Later Zhou army marched south, and the edict said: "Huaidi is stupid, daring to resist the great state, stealing one side, and overstepping the throne to claim the emperor." In the Jin and Han dynasties, the country was restless, and you recruited traitors and jointly helped the rebellion. When Li Jinquan occupied Anchong, and When Li Shouzhen rebelled against the river, you raised an army and went to support. As for the exchange with the Khitans, the forces invading Xubu and the Battle of Shuyang, the qu can be seen. Colluding with the Khitan and entering the Central Plains to become a border problem, and joining forces and fortifications is really our feud. Sin is difficult to point out, and people and gods are indignant. So Bai LiGu deployed for the camp, starting from the attack on Shouzhou. At this time, Song Qiqiu was the envoy of Hongzhou Jiedushi, and Li Jing summoned Song Qiqiu back to Jinling, with Liu Yanzhen as the commander of the Shenwu army and Liu Renzhen as the emissary of the Qinghuai army to resist the Zhou army. Li Gu said: "We do not have the equipment for water warfare, and if the Huai army breaks the Yang pontoon bridge, then we will suffer from the enemy on our stomachs and backs." So he burned the grain and grass and retreated to Zhengyang. At this time, After Emperor Shizong of Zhou, Chai Rong personally marched to the siege town, heard that Li Gu had retreated, and said: "If our army retreats, the Southern Tang army will definitely pursue." Li Chongjin was sent to rush to Zhengyang and said, "The Southern Tang army will arrive, and it should be attacked quickly." Liu Yanzhen and others heard that Li Gu had retreated, and sure enough, they thought they were afraid and hurried to catch up. When they reached Zhengyang and Li Chongjin arrived first, the army did not have time to eat and fight, and Liu Yanzhen was equivalent to defeat.
Liu Yanzhen's troops set up sharp blades to resist horses and tied them with iron cables; they also carved trees as beasts, called "Jiema Cards", and scattered iron with leather bags as obstacles. When Zhou Jun saw this, he knew that the other party was afraid and defeated them with a single blow. Zhou Shizong camped on the north side of the shuishui and moved the pontoon bridge to Xia Cai. Li Jing sent Lin Renzhao and others to compete, but did not get it, and the Zhou army captured Chuzhou. Li Jing was afraid and sent The Sizhou general Wang Zhilang to Xuzhou, saying that Emperor Tang was willing to pay tribute and serve as a brother, but Zhou Shizong did not answer. Li Jing's deputy retainers of Dongdu remained in Feng Yanlu, Gwangju Assassin Shi Zhang Shao, Shuzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Zuo, and Taizhou Assassin Shi Fangne all abandoned the city and left; Feng Yanlu cut his hair and became a monk, and was captured by Zhou Bing. Li Jing was even more frightened, and after Zhou Xinzu (郭璟) was secretive, he changed his name to Li Jing, and sent Zhong Mo, a scholar of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, to serve as a vassal, to offer five hundred cattle, 2,000 stones of wine, and several thousand pieces of gold and silver to reward the Zhou army, and requested the cession of the six prefectures of Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Guang, and Hai to Zhou, in order to request the withdrawal of troops. Zhou Shizong did not reply, and divided his troops to attack and capture Yangzhou and Taizhou. Li Jing sent a letter from a wax pill to the Khitan for help, but was captured by the border guards. Gwangju Assassin Shi Zhang Han descended the week.
In March of the fourteenth year of Baoda (956), Li Jing sent Sikong Sun Sheng and Libu Shangshu Wang Chongqian to pay tribute, and his words were more humble and tame, but Zhou Shizong still did not answer, and Zhong Mo and others who had been sent earlier, as well as Sun Sheng and Wang Chongqian, were all in the room. However, Zhong Mo and others asked to go back to get Li Jing's watch and dedicate all the Jiangbei region, and Zhou Shizong agreed to send Wang Chongqian, Li Deming, and so on back, and only then did he give the book to Li Jing. After Li Deming waited for him to return, he vigorously praised Zhou Shizong's heroic martial arts, but Li Jing was not happy. Song Qiqiu, Chen Jue, and others all believed that there was no benefit in cutting up land, and said that Li Deming had betrayed the country for profit. Li Jing became angry and beheaded Li Deming. Li Jingda, the Marshal of Qi, was sent to lead troops with Chen Jue, BianHao, and Xu Wenjin to Shouchun, and Li Jingda's general Zhu Yuan and others were given the three prefectures of Shu, Pu, and Tai. In the summer of the same year, heavy rains, later Zhou's army in Yang, Chu, and the three prefectures all retreated, and the Later Tang generals requested to attack the Zhou army with a dangerous waist. Song Qiqiu said: "Attacking them deepens resentment, and it is better to let them go and become enders." "The generals were warned to close their fortifications and not to go to war, so the Zhou army gathered in Shouzhou. Zhou Shizong was stationed at Tun wokou and wanted to return to Yangzhou and attack Shouchun together, so he blockaded the treasury and sent Li Jing to patrol the city, and Qiu did not commit any crime, and the Huai people were very happy, and they all carried dry food to the Zhou army.
In the fifteenth year of Baoda (957), Li Jingda sent Zhu Yuan and others to Build Yongdao to transport grain and grass to Shouzhou. In February, Zhou Shizong marched south again, moved the Cai Pontoon Bridge to The Vortex, set up the Town Huai Army, and built two cities to attack Huai. The Zhou army even broke through the zijin villages. Although Li Jingda was a marshal, the military was decided by Chen Jue. Chen Jue and Zhu Yuan had always had a grudge, believing that Zhu Yuan was Li Shouzhen's guest general, and repeatedly could not believe it, so Li Jing sent the general Yang Shouzhong to replace Zhu Yuan and recall Zhu Yuan. Enraged, Zhu Yuan surrendered to Zhou, all armies were defeated, Xu Wenjian and BianHao were captured, and Li Jingda returned to Jinling with his water division. Liu Renzhen fell ill and died, and his deputy Sun Yu and others surrendered to Zhou with Shouzhou. Zhou Shizong class teacher. Li Jing sent people to burn Yangzhou and deceive the Yangzhou scholars. In October, Emperor Shizong of Zhou marched south again, so he besieged Haozhou, and Haozhou assassinated Shi Guo Tingzhi and told Zhou: "The subject cannot defend a state to resist Wang Shi, but he hopes to surrender to southern Tang." As a result, Zhou Shizong slowed down the attack, and Guo Tingzhi sent someone to ask Li Jing for orders, and Li Jing agreed to their surrender, so Guo Tingzhi surrendered. After capturing Sizhou, the Zhou army rode tens of thousands of horses, advancing on land and water, and the sergeant sang the song "Tanlai", and the sound spread to dozens of miles. In December, he was stationed at the north gate of Chuzhou.
In the first year of Jiaotai (958), in the first month, the Zhou army attacked Chuzhou, and the defenders Zhang Yanqing and Zheng Zhaoye defended the city very strongly, and the siege did not break through for forty days. Zhou Shizong personally supervised the army to dig tunnels into the city and burn them, the city walls were destroyed, Zhang Yanqing and Zheng Zhaoye were killed in battle, the Zhou army was very angry, and the people in the city were almost killed. The Zhou army also captured the four prefectures of Hai, Tai, and Yang. When Zhou Shizong went to yingluan town to approach the Yangtze River, Li Jing knew that he could not support it, but he was ashamed to bend down and remove his name, so he sent Chen Jue to pay tribute to Hou Zhou and asked to pass the throne to his eldest son Li Hongji and obey Hou Zhou.'s orders.
When the Zhou army marched south, there was no water warfare equipment, and soon after repeatedly defeating Li Jing's army and obtaining water warriors, he built hundreds of warships, let the surrender soldiers teach the Zhou army water warfare, and ordered Wang Huan to lead the Huai River. Li Jing's naval forces failed many times, and the warships on the Huai River were all acquired by the Zhou army. Hundreds of Qiyun boats were built, and Zhou Shizong went to The Northern Shenyan in Chuzhou, and the Qiyun ships were large and could not pass through, so they dug the Old Stork River to connect, so they reached the river. At first, Li Jing thought that the Zhou army was not an opponent and could not reach the Yangtze River. When Chen Jue was ordered to go on an envoy, he saw that the water master Bu Lie Yangtze Was very majestic, thinking that he had descended from the sky, so he asked: "The subject is willing to return to China to take Li Jing's watch, dedicate all the states in the north of the river, and abide by the treaty." Zhou Shizong agreed, and only then did he give a letter to Li Jing, saying: "The emperor respectfully asked the lord of Jiangnan. "It's just a matter of comforting Li Jingliang's suffering." At this time, the prefectures of Yang, Tai, Chu, He, Shou, Hao, Si, Chu, Guang, and Hai were already the recipients of Zhou, so Li Jing sacrificed the four prefectures of Lu, Shu, Pu, and Huang, and demarcated the Yangtze River as the boundary. In May, Li Jing ordered the removal of the imperial title and the renaming of the lord of the state, known as the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, using the post-anniversary title, which was the fifth year of later Zhou Xiande (958).
At first, Sun Sheng sent an envoy to Zhou, but was left behind, Zhou Shizong asked Sun Sheng about the truth of Jiangnan, Sun Sheng did not answer, Zhou Shizong became angry and killed Sun Sheng. Zhou had withdrawn his troops, so Li Jing gave Liu Renzhan the title of Taishi (太師) and posthumously made Sun Sheng the Duke of Lu. Zhou Shizong sent Zhong Mo and Feng Yanlu back to China. Li Jing also sent Zhong Mo and others to see the capital master, personally wrote a watch, saying that the grace of the parents of heaven and earth could not be repaid; he also asked for an edict like a fan town, and sent Zhong Mo to state in person that he was willing to pass the throne to the eldest son. The Zhou Dynasty sect sent Zhong Mo and others back to China to comfort Li Jing with a generous edict. Li Jing made Zhong Mo the Attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Feng Yanlu the Attendant of the Household Department.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Pre-Situation Map
When Li Jing was crown prince, Feng Yanlu and others all entered the Eastern Palace, and Libu Shangshu Chang Mengxi said many times since Li Fu's lifetime that Feng Yanlu and others should not be allowed to approach the crown prince. Li Jing succeeded to the throne, Feng Yanlu had exclusive power, and Chang Mengxi always rejected him. Li Jing had already cut off the land and claimed the title of vassal, and when it was said that the imperial court was a great dynasty, Chang Mengxi laughed and said, "Did you ever want the monarch to be like Yao and Shun, and today you are a small dynasty?" Zhong Mo had always been good friends with Li Deming, and when he returned, he heard that Li Deming had been killed because of Song Qiqiu and others, and wanted to report Li Deming's grievances, but he failed to attack. Chen Jue is a fellow member of Song Qiqiu and has always had a feud with Yan Xu. Chen Jue had been ordered to envoy Zhou, and came back to say that the reason why Zhou Shizong thought that Jiangnan did not immediately obey the order was because of Yan Xu's plot and persuaded Li Jing to kill Yan Xu to apologize. Li Jing suspected that Zhong Mo had asked to investigate the matter later in the next week. Li Jing had already cut off the land and claimed to be a vassal, so he sent Zhong Mo into the court to apologize for his sins, saying that not cutting the land immediately was not a strict plan, hoping to pardon him. Zhou Shizong was shocked and said, "Yan Xu can plan, this is loyal to his master, is it necessary to kill the loyal subjects?" After Zhong Mo returned, he said that Chen Jue was treacherous, and Li Jing became angry and exiled Chen Jue to Raozhou and killed him. Song Qiqiu and Chen Jue formed a party and committed crimes, and were exiled to Qingyang and given to death. With the emperor's brother Jing Sui as the envoy of Hongzhou Jiedushi, and King Hongji of Yan as the crown prince.

In September of the sixth year of Xiande (959), Crown Prince Hongji died, and Li Jingfeng's sixth son, Li Congjia (Li Yu), became the King of Wu and lived in the Eastern Palace. Zhong Mo said that Li Congjia was frivolous and indulgent, and asked Li Congshan, the Duke of Liji, to be angry, and to belittle Zhong Mo as a state son and li Congjia as crown prince. The Zhou Shi Sect sent people to Li Jing and said, "I and Jiangnan, the great righteousness has been decided, but I am worried that the future generations will not be able to accommodate you, and I can build a city god and rectify the key points for my descendants when I am alive." Li Jing then repaired the cities and planned to move the capital to Hongzhou, but the courtiers did not want to move, only the Privy Council envoy Tang Hao approved of moving the capital, so he promoted Hongzhou to Nanchang Prefecture and built the southern capital. In the first year of Jianlong (960), Zhao Kuangyin was inspected in front of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he launched the Chen Qiao Mutiny, usurped the Later Zhou regime, and established the Song Dynasty for the song taizu. In the second year of Jianlong (961), the prince was transferred from Jiajianguo and Li Jing moved to Nandu. However, Hongzhou was narrow, and the palace camp could not accommodate it, and the group of ministers missed going back day and night, and Li Jing regretted it and was angry. Tang Hao was ashamed and frightened, and fell ill and died.
In June of the same year, Li Jing died at the age of forty-six. The crown prince Li Congjia succeeded to Jinling with a funeral and sent envoys to the dynasty, hoping to restore Li Jing's title as emperor, and Song Taizu agreed, so he was named Li Jing "Emperor Xuanxiao of Ming Dao Chongde Wenxuan", with the temple name Yuanzong, and Lingyu Shunling (located in present-day Jiangning District, Jiangsu Province).
After Li Jing ascended the throne, he changed the conservative policy of his father Li Fu and began to use troops on a large scale to eliminate Ma Chu and Minguo, which were all in internal turmoil due to the succession struggle for the throne.
When Li Jing was trapped in the use of soldiers, Zhong Mo asked him to mint a large amount of money to be ten, and the inscription "Yongtong Spring Goods" was inscribed. Later, because of Zhong Mo's crime, the big money was abolished. He also ordered Han Xizai to cast iron money to make one two.
Li Jing is a coward, loves literature, and prefers flattery. "All the time as songs and poems, all in and out of the wind", with a high degree of literary and artistic accomplishment. He often drank and wrote poems with his favorites such as Han Xizai and Feng Yanwei, so the words that applied to the song and dance hall gained the opportunity to develop in the Southern Tang. His words, sincere feelings, fresh style, language is not carved, has had a certain impact on the Southern Tang Dynasty. There are five poems in existence, of which four are collected in the "Second Main Words of the Southern Tang Dynasty" and one in the "Caotang Poetry Yu". His poetry is very famous, and his calligraphy is also very good. Among them, his "small building blowing through the jade sheng cold" is a famous sentence that has flowed through the ages.
