There are really a few people who "worked hard" to become emperors from the grassroots. Among them, I think the most distinctive is Liu Bang, who is neither a rogue but a pair of bright eyes, nor Zhu Yuanzhang, who is ruthless but bold, but Zhu Wen, the "first wicked" emperor who stood out from many wicked people in the most wicked era of China.
Zhu Wen was born in six years (852) in Wugouli, Dangshan, Songzhou (now Dangshan County, Anhui Province). Although his father was a teacher, Zhu Wen and his brothers died when they were minors, so Zhu Wen was born in a poor family.
In order to make a living, my mother took Zhu Wensan's brothers and lived in Liu Chong's home in Xiaoxian County, thinking that the Liu family barely made a living by working. Zhu Wen's eldest brother, Zhu, is a down-to-earth worker and is very popular with Liu Chong. Zhu Wen, on the other hand, disdains farming and raising cattle for a living. Instead, he idles around and fights every day.
Liu Chong often scolded Zhu Wen for being lazy, but Liu Chong's mother said, "Zhu Jia's third child is not an ordinary person. You should treat him well. " This makes Liu Chong helpless, but his dislike of Zhu Wen is even more serious.
In the fourth year as an official (877), Zhu Wen and his second brother Zhu Cun joined Huang Chao and became part of the anti-Tang army. Because of their bravery, they soon became important generals in Huang Chao. After the establishment of the Daqi regime in Huang Chao in 88 1 year, Zhu Wen was appointed as the defense envoy of the same state and led the army to attack the river. Because of repeated battles and defeats, I was afraid of being punished, so I went to the Tang Dynasty and returned to our ambassador to the river, Wang Chongrong.
Because he had a certain reputation and strength at this time, he attached great importance to Zhu Wen who defected, and named him General Sha Jinwu, the worship and agreement of BOC, and named him "in the spring". However, I don't know how Tang Xizong would feel if he saw that his trusted "Quan Zhong" killed his brother and nephew and occupied his own country.
After Guangfu (90 1), he was imprisoned by eunuch Han. At this time, Zhu Wen, who didn't want to usurp the throne, took refuge in Fengxiang, Li and Zhu Wen to attack Fengxiang. Because Fengxiang ate Li, killed more than 70 eunuchs such as Han and sent them back to Chang 'an. Zhu Wen came to power for his rescue, killed hundreds of eunuchs, abolished Ce Shen's army and took full control of the royal family.
By the year of Guangfu (90 1), Zhu Wen's tail began to show. In the first year of God bless (904), Zhu Wen killed Cui Yin, the prime minister, and forced Zhao Zong to move to Luoyang. In August, he ordered his adopted son Zhu Yougong and others to kill Zhao Zong and made his son Li Zhu emperor of Tang Aidi.
At the end of the Tang dynasty, the vassal regime
In the second year of God bless (905), Zhu Wen, at the instigation of his close friend Li Zhen, killed more than 30 courtiers such as Pei Shu and Cui Yuan overnight in Baimayi, Huazhou (now hua county, Henan), which is known as the "White Horse Disaster" in history. Later, Jiang Yin and Zhao Yinheng were ordered to kill He Taihou in Jishan Palace, forcing the mourning emperor to write a letter, saying that the Queen Mother committed suicide by doing something bad.
After all kinds of obstacles were removed, Zhu Wen was abolished in the first year of Kaiping (907), and was renamed Huang, with its capital in Kaifeng, with the title "Liang" and the historical name "".
┃ Dirt and murder.
In fact, Zhu Wen did not become the first villain of the Five Dynasties just because he overthrew the Tang Dynasty. Bullying orphans and widows, little emperor, many dignitaries have done this before. What really made Zhu a villain was his killing and absurdity, and the saddest thing was that it was because of these characteristics that Zhu Wen survived and eventually became an emperor.
Life in Hou Liang Palace
Zhu Wen doesn't study well and doesn't want to know much, but his troops have strong combat capability. In addition to his natural fighting ability, the violent management of his own team is also one of the important reasons.
Zhu Wen is unkind to his subordinates and indiscriminate. In every battle, if the general dies in battle, his soldiers must also live with the general. Even if they survive, they will be killed after the battle, which is the so-called "postscript team chop". This really turned Zhu Wen's army into a "tiger-wolf division" like Qin Jun's, but at the same time, because of this, once the general died, the soldiers immediately fled and dared not go back. Zhu Wen saw that he escaped badly, so he ordered a tattoo on the soldier's face. If he runs for his life, he will die if he is caught.
Besides killing, Zhu Wen's position and life are accompanied by betrayal and intrigue.
After Zhu Wen usurped the throne of the Tang Dynasty, he became the object of contention among warlords, including Li Keyong, the king of Jin who was a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Wen and Li Keyong are sworn enemies, and they both started fighting in our time.
In order to stabilize his power, Zhu Wen secretly bought an important person, that is, Lu Ye Baoji, the leader of the Qidan who became a brother with Li Keyong. Zhu Wen promised Lu Ye Po status and money, tore up the agreement with Li Keyong and invited him to fight against Li Keyong.
And the law of Baoji did agree, which made Li Keyong unprepared. Fighting on both sides embarrassed Li Keyong, so he had to retreat and barely hold his own territory. But Tang wanted to stop, which gave Li Keyong a huge blow and soon died of depression. The death of his biggest rival made Zhu Wen begin to live an absurd emperor life.
If murder and conspiracy only make Zhu a bad person, then "absurdity" and unruly private life are the last straw for Zhu Wen to keep the title of "villain".
It is estimated that once a crow becomes a phoenix, besides the desire for power, Zhu Wen's debauchery ranks first in history, even one of the best.
Every time Zhu Wen sent his son out to fight, he called his daughter-in-law into the palace, nominally to serve his illness, but actually to let them serve his bed. May really be like father, like son, Zhu Wen's sons not only don't resent it, but compete to send their wives to their father's couch to please Zhu Wen, in order to inherit the throne in the future.
Zhu Wen has an adopted son named Zhu Youwen and his wife Wang, who is beautiful and unique. Because of Zhu Wen's favor and Wang's encouragement before his deathbed, Zhu Wen promised Wang to pass the throne to Zhu Youwen. Because Zhu Wen's eldest son and second son both died early, and the third son Zhu was actually the eldest son of Zhu Wen, Zhu always thought that the throne should be his own. Zhu's wife, Zhang, is also one of Zhu Wen's favorite people. In the second year of Jianye (9 12), Zhu Wen ordered Zhu Youwen of Wang Zhao to entrust the funeral due to illness. After hearing this, Zhang quickly told Zhu about his plan.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in Hou Liang's Period
Zhu entered Zhu Wen's bedroom with a great army in the middle of the night. Zhu Wen woke up with a start and asked sharply, "Who is the rebel?" Zhu replied: "It's not others, it's me." Zhu Wen cursed after hearing this: "I have long suspected that you are not a thing, but unfortunately I didn't kill you. You betrayed your father, and heaven and earth will not allow you! " Without further ado, Zhu asked his followers to stab Zhu Wen to death with a knife, and then falsely passed the testamentary edict and ascended the throne.
Zhu Wen, a "wicked man" who got the throne by regicide, eventually became the object of regicide. He is 6 1 year old and has only served for 6 years.
