Zhu Youzhen, the king of the dead country, has been the emperor for eleven years, who finally abandoned the country to protect himself and died?
Zhu Youzhen was born in Tang Qianning for three years, the third son of Zhu Wen, the Taizu of the Later Liang Dynasty, and his mother was Empress Zhang Hui. He has a gentle temperament, which is different from his father Zhu Wenduo's tyranny. Zhu Youzhen is a young man, smart, good at poetry and writing, and quite talented. In 907, his father Zhu Wenjian was proclaimed emperor of Liang, when Zhu Youzhen was only 17 years old and was named the king of Jun.
For the position of the prince, Zhu Wen deliberately left blank and did not stand, so that the sons were eyeing each other. In 912, Zhu Wen was defeated in Hedong and became seriously ill. The sons competed for the throne, and Zhu Wen wanted to pass on his adopted son Bowang Zhu Youwen, which caused his own son Yingwang Zhu Youqi to be extremely dissatisfied. Zhu Youqi, who was jealous, took the opportunity to make trouble, went to Luoyang to kill his father and stand on his own, and sent someone to kill King Bo and take away his brother and rivals.
King Ying, who killed his father and usurped the throne, how could Zhu Youzhen feel at ease? He realized that he would inevitably become a victim of cannibalism, so he quietly contacted his cronies, thought of countermeasures, and tried every means to win the support of the heroes in order to retaliate. In 913, when the time was ripe, Zhu Youzhen took advantage of Wei Bojiedu's envoy Yang Shihou to attack Luoyang, kill Zhu Youqi, and seize the throne. For a time, the government and the opposition rejoiced. It's well deserved.
At the beginning of Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne, he won the hearts of both inside and outside. The twenty-five-year-old, handsome new ruler had learned the art of civil and military affairs at an early age and had received a thorough education. On the day he ascended the throne, he was apprehensive and trembling, and for the first time he was on this dragon chair, the weight of the cyan emperor's robe on his shoulders weighed him down.
Weichen is a scholar, and he is occasionally recommended by the public to succeed to the throne. Today, I know that I am shouldering a well-deserved responsibility, and the safety of hundreds of thousands of people is on my shoulders.
You are the heroes who supported the Great Liang under the command of the first emperor, and I can't forget my father's instructions, and you must repay your grievances with virtue and unite as one. We, the people of Daliang, are more important than anything else! After the enthronement ceremony that day, Zhu Youzhen met with hundreds of civil and military officials and said so.
When all the ministers saw this, they were all excited. This young new monarch is very different from the dead father and brother, the self-serving, arrogant and lascivious King Zhu Youqi. They remembered the prosperity of the first emperor Zhu Wen when he was alive, Jingwei reclaimed the sea, and the Quartet was a minister. Perhaps, this will be another glory for the rear beam!
After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he concentrated on domestic and foreign affairs, had a simple style, and loved the army and the people. He is well versed in the way of civil and military affairs, likes to read military books, and is diligent in drilling. When the Great Liang army received the news that the monarch personally took the lead in training, their morale was greatly boosted and they were very proud. The young emperor paid attention to the "people-oriented country", reduced taxes, and forbade the wanton killing of the people. The civilian, military and military generals all found that the new emperor had a gentle temperament and was not as moody and murderous as the first emperor Zhu Wen. Zhu Youzhen even asked Jing Xiang, who was known as the first person in Confucianism, for advice on how to govern the country, and talked and laughed with Wenchen in a harmonious atmosphere. Such a gentle and elegant monarch who won the hearts of the people, the civil and military forces of the Great Liang and Manchu dynasties were all loyal.
After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he was quite jealous of the enemy Jin King Li Cunqing. Li Cunmiao was the opponent of the first emperor, who once defeated Zhu Wen and took away the land east of the river. Zhu Youzhen remembered his father's teachings and sent troops to the Northern Expedition year after year, wanting to be ashamed. In the eleventh year of Jianyuan, Zhu Youzhen personally led a large army to conquer Hongnong of the Jin State in the north and won a complete victory. Many Wenchen generals remembered that the first emperor Zhu Wen also broke the Jin Kingdom when he was young. They sincerely admired: "With such a wise monarch, Hou Liang Guozuo will definitely be in the long run!" ”
However, the good times were short-lived. For the first emperor Zhu Wen, the usurper who killed his father, many heroes had misgivings. In 921, Zhu Youzhen's most trusted brother-in-law, Zhao Yan, died. Zhao Yan was an important helper of Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne during his lifetime, and after his death, the government lost its pivot. Li Zhen, who was originally the ruling prime minister, and Jing Xiang were at odds and attacked each other. Zhu Youzhen was not able to reconcile effectively, so she could only let the two fight openly and secretly.
Gradually, Zhu Youzhen's cronies and favored ministers began to dictate power and wantonly loot and accumulate wealth. The swords and soldiers of the court's ministers and generals faced each other, and the defeats in successive battles were frequent.
Zhu Youzhen ignored state affairs, left the imperial power in the hands of the ministers, drank and admired the moon leisurely, and chased the joy of dancing. He became more and more distant from the court, and handed over all government affairs to his relatives and favored ministers.
In this way, Zhu Youzhen gradually distanced himself from the bureaucrats who were supposed to speak out, and even hated their advice. The wise king, who was once open and co-governed, was willing to accept advice, but now he just wants to be at ease. The government and the opposition were disappointed, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction in private. As the prime minister, Jing Xiang advised many times, Zhu Youzhen turned a deaf ear, the first person in Confucianism once made an oath to assist this gentle monarch to prosper Houliang, who would have thought that he would end up like this, seeing that his relatives and favored ministers controlled the government, the emperor lived in isolation, and the country was getting worse. Jing Xiang, who was extremely helpless, shed tears among the courtiers.
So far, Zhu Youzhen has succeeded to the throne for ten years, and the national strength of Daliang is no longer the grand occasion of the past. The government is not repaired, the financial endowment is scarce, and the people are not able to make a living. The head of the city has changed to the corner of the big Han, and the national fortune has gone and it is difficult to raise again. Seeing that the great rivers and mountains fell into his hands, the former heroes also complained. Li Zhen has the deepest friendship with Zhao Yan and Jing Xiang, and several persuasions have been fruitless, and he almost has a grudge against this former bosom friend.
On this day, at the court meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting for them. Recently, the border pass is in an emergency, and Li Cunqiao led the troops to attack the city is still imminent, and the king does not see the ministers and does not speak, so there is no way to motivate this gentleman to be open-minded. If the beam is not protected, he and these ministers will not escape death. "Your Majesty! He suddenly opened his mouth, "The Quartet is in trouble, and the country is so difficult at this time!" I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and give up this old body to revive my country! "Seeing is embarrassing.
Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word, her face was sad, and it took a long time to spit out a few words: "I know." Then he was silent again, and he took care of himself. The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they all saw the sorrow and helplessness on the emperor's face. He is the Son of Heaven, in the prime of life, and he should not have presided over such a defeat. can think about it, the first emperor killed his father and brother unkindly, and it was also the retribution that this weak emperor deserved. On this day, the court discussion was dispersed, and the hearts of the ministers were even more congested and worried.
The king of the displaced and lost country, can this be restored? It was inevitable that the curtain would come down when the country was lost, and he finally killed himself in this life.
Exactly, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Hou Liang, the "innocent" husband, finally buried himself because of the jade-like country and the safety of the people in his hands. If you look back on the past eleven years of sitting on a big position, it is probably difficult to escape the fate of the cycle of life and death.
Born gentle, it is not like the first emperor who killed his father to seize power. Occasionally, he ascended the throne with the will of God and the people, and only then did he emerge. At the beginning, he governed the country wisely, and won the hearts of the people with equal emphasis on civil and military affairs. Only because he was imprisoned twice, the first emperor and the enemy country were dissatisfied. And because he did not work as a minister, he delegated power to the villain, and internal and external troubles gradually arose. As a result, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the road is dead. The king of the dead country is tantamount to self-destruction.
Looking back on the prosperous times of the past, I dreamed of the present, and at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I sincerely spoke out for the people and moved the hearts of heaven. It's just that the inner troubles on the outer edge are gradually quietly born, and they don't want to make progress and keep to protect themselves, and eventually the great country will be difficult to recover.
The difficulty of losing the country, can this be recovered?
