The emperor pretended to be blind for three years, his wife was messed with others, and he opened his eyes in shame
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao Rebellion, although the uprising ultimately failed, but since then, the Li Tang Dynasty has ushered in a more terrible new challenge. This person is the sweet-mouthed, ruthless "butcher" Zhu Wen.
After betraying Huangchao and returning to the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen gradually strengthened his power and became the largest separatist force in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and used Henan as a base to continuously expand his sphere of influence, and was like a bamboo along the way.
However, when he tried to get his hands on the Gangnam region, he was hit hard. So, who can stop Zhu Wen's prosperity?
Yang Xingchou, a son of a peasant family in Luzhou, was born in 852 AD. He was born with divine power, and his courage was incomparable, and no one could beat him. His feet are vigorous, and he can walk 300 miles a day, which can be called a "warrior without dead ends".
However, he did not want to do nothing, so he chose the fastest way to make a fortune - rebellion.
In 880 AD, the Tang Dynasty changed to the Yuan Guangming, and Li Yi of the Tang Dynasty had the vision and expectation of stabilizing the world"The vast number of Tang Zhiming"。However, soon after the reform of the Yuan, it was attacked by the Shatuo army on Yanmen in Shanxi, and the Nanzhao Kingdom was declared free from the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Annam Protectorate of ancient Vietnam also declared its independence.
The Tang Dynasty, which was in domestic and foreign difficulties, was facing"Super ***"Huangchao's fierce attack, as well as the jiedu in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, led Liu Hanhong to march into Shandong and Henan. In the face of these challenges, Yang Xingchou couldn't help but be eager to try in the Jianghuai region.
Now the world is chaotic, and heroes from all walks of life have risen one after another, this is really the era of the best everywhere. I'd like to find a few people to pick up some, which shouldn't be too much. Yang Xingchou joined the peasant uprising in the Jianghuai region, however, the uprising soon ended in failure.
When Zheng Di, a local assassin, was inspecting the captives, he discovered Yang Xingchou. Zheng Di saw that he was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance, so he took a few more looks, and stepped forward to shake his hand, feeling that he had a lot of strength.
Then, Zheng Di ordered Yang Xingchou's ropes to be untied and let him go to the army. After that, Yang Xingchou really became a state soldier and was sent to Shuofang to defend the border. After a period of hard work, he accumulated military exploits and was promoted to captain.
A few years later, when the border period expired, Yang Xingchou returned to his hometown. However, the local officials were very disgusted with Yang Xingchou, and it didn't take long for him to go to defend the border again.
As he was about to leave, the official smiled and asked Yang Xingchou if he had everything ready. Yang Xingshu patted his head and suddenly realized that he had forgotten something important.
Curious, the official stepped forward and asked him what he had forgotten. Yang Xingchou also slowly walked towards the official, and suddenly yelled: "You still owe me a head." Then, drawing his knife from his waist, he did not hesitate to behead the official.
Subsequently, he led his subordinates to revolt, gathered thousands of people, and gave himself the position of "Eight Battalions of Soldiers and Horses", and occupied Luzhou. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was already in turmoil, and seeing that Luzhou had been occupied by Yang Xingchou, they did not dare to send troops easily, but just ordered that as long as Yang Xingchou was willing to accept Zhao'an, he would be named the Assassin of Luzhou.
Yang Xingchou accepted Zhao'an, and at this time met the noble man in his life - Gao Yu, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.
Gao Biao was dissatisfied with Yang Xingchou's name, believing that "Sorrow" represented sadness and sorrow, which was not suitable for him. So he suggested that Yang Xingchou change his name to Yang Xingmi, and thought that he needed the assistance of stratagem on top of bravery.
Yang Xingchou followed Gao Biao's suggestion, changed his name to Yang Xingmi, and thanked him. Later, Bi Shiduo raised troops to conquer Yangzhou and imprisoned Gao Yu. Gao Biao asked Yang Xingmi to save him, and asked him to be the commander of the march.
Yang Xingmi learned that his benefactor was in trouble, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to go to Yangzhou. He used deceit to lure Bi Shiduo out of the city to chase after him, and then led his army to attack back, and finally defeated Bi Shiduo.
1.Bi Shiduo's anger and murder caused Yang Xingmi to immediately declare three days of mourning for the whole army, and attacked the city with filial piety, and finally succeeded in defeating Bi Shiduo and capturing Yangzhou. After that, Yang Xingmi continued to expand based on the Suyang region, including defeating Zhu Wen's Ge Congzhou at Shouzhou Qingkou, killing Zhu Wen's general Pang Shigu, and keeping Zhu Wen's forces out.
Since then, the entire Huainan has been controlled by Yang Xingmi. 2.In the second year of Tang Zhaozong's reign, Tang Zhaozong canonized Yang Xingmi as the king of Wu, giving him the power to decide on finance, taxation, and military dispatch within his territory.
As a result, the Yang Wu regime was formally established, and Yang Xingmi's status in Huainan was like that of the emperor, yes"The Uncrowned Emperor"。However, Yang Xingmi was not happy because of this, because his biggest enemy came from within, his brother-in-law Zhu Yanshou.
3.After Bi Shiduo killed people in anger in the city of Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi immediately announced that the whole army would mourn for three days, and attacked the city with filial piety, successfully defeating Bi Shiduo and capturing Yangzhou.
After that, Yang Xingmi continued to expand based on the Suyang region, including defeating Zhu Wen's Ge Congzhou at Shouzhou Qingkou, killing Zhu Wen's general Pang Shigu, and keeping Zhu Wen's forces out.
Since then, the entire Huainan has been controlled by Yang Xingmi. 4.In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xingmi was canonized as the king of Wu, and gained the power to decide on his own finances, taxes, and military arrangements within the territory.
This marked the formal establishment of the Yang Wu regime, and Yang Xingmi's status in Huainan was like that of the emperor, yes"The Uncrowned Emperor"。However, his biggest enemy is his brother-in-law Zhu Yanshou, who comes from within.
Yang Xingmi's queen Zhu had a younger brother named Zhu Yanshou, who was made a general and began to consider his own room for promotion. He thought that even if his brother-in-law Yang Xingmi occupied the entire Tang Dynasty, he would only be a great general.
As a result, Zhu Yanshou began to make friends with his henchmen and prepared to usurp the throne. Yang Xingmi was confused, because he wasn't sure who was on his side and who was on Zhu Yanshou's side. He decided to take a safe way to judge loyalty, that is, to pretend to be sick, and at the same time to stabilize Zhu Yanshou.
Yang Xingmi has suffered from eye disease for many years, and this time he lost his sight again. So, who proved that Yang Xingmi was blind? The answer is obvious, this person must be able to communicate with Zhu Yanshou, and Zhu Yanshou will believe his words.
This person is Yang Xingmi's princess and Zhu Yanshou's sister Zhu. Zhu's behavior is incomprehensible. She is Yang Xingmi's wife, when Yang Xingmi was in power, she was the queen, and after Yang Xingmi died, their son inherited the throne, and she was the princess.
However, she helped Zhu Yanshou ascend to the throne, so what is she? "Sister Wang"? What is this position? After Zhu Yanshou died, the throne passed to his son, so what is she?
She is not even "Sister Wang" anymore, she is "Aunt Wang". At this time, the Zhu family seemed to be unable to distinguish who was a relative and who was beneficial to herself, she just chose to help her younger brother and became a "Voldemort".
Yang Xingmi is an excellent actor who gives full play to his acting skills and pretends to be blind to confuse others. When confronted by his wife and watchers, he deliberately hit walls, pillars, and steps to make himself look really blind, and even injured himself.
Although this aroused the sympathy and belief of ordinary people, Zhu Yanshou still had lingering palpitations, because his goal was to rebel and could not tolerate the slightest mistake. So, he asked his sister to test again, but how could he confirm it further?
Zhu came up with a peculiar idea, and she decided to use the lack of married life as a reason to conduct a test.
Since that incident, the Zhu family has often deliberately made eyebrows with the guards of the dormitory in front of Yang Xingmi, and even hooked shoulders and backs, as if to test Yang Xingmi's endurance.
Even in some wild histories that have been circulated, Zhu actually flirted with other men in front of Yang Xingmi to see if Yang Xingmi could bear it. In some barnyard official history, the Zhu family had a relationship with the guards in front of Yang Xingmi.
When Yang Xingmi found out, she walked straight into his dormitory and motioned for the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to leave. Then, a clear-eyed guard quietly walked in, and the two quietly started a private meeting, as if Yang Xingmi did not exist.
Yang Xingmi sat quietly on the side, although his heart was full of anger, but he had a smile on his face. At this time, two actors and actresses with superb acting skills are staging a wonderful drama, but it is obvious that Yang Xingmi's acting skills are better.
Yang Xing pretended to be blind for three years, and after Zhu confirmed that he was really blind, he successfully stabilized the internal forces and prepared to entrust the future of Wu to Zhu Yanshou. Even the actor has to admit his acting skills, and his forbearance kung fu is even more unmatched by ordinary people.
Although this incident has not been recorded in the official history, his excellence can be seen in the notes of the wild history. Now, Zhu told Zhu Yanshou the news, and Zhu Yanshou was overjoyed and looked forward to Yang Xingmi's next move.
Yang Xingmi was critically ill and sent someone to inform Zhu Yanshou that he needed to discuss the matter of succession. Zhu Yanshou was overjoyed and only brought his henchmen to go. I saw Yang Xingmi lying on the bed, his breath was dying, his hands were in the air, and he shouted for longevity.
Zhu Yanshou approached, and Yang Xingmi said weakly what he wanted. Zhu Yanshou was happy in his heart, thinking that he was going to become the king of Wu, or he would be entrusted to be orphaned, and he would be able to control the state of Wu in the future.
However, Yang Xingmi only said intermittently: "Lone wants, wants."
As he said this, Yang Xingmi suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a glint in his eyes, which was not a blind man's gaze: "I'm going to let your head fly out." ”
Then he took out a large iron cone from his sleeve and smashed it directly into Zhu Yanshou's head, only to hear a loud bang, Zhu Yanshou's head immediately cracked, and he died. This sudden scene stunned everyone present.
Soon, Yang Xingmi took control of the palace, and several henchmen brought by Zhu Yanshou also knelt on the ground and trembled. Yang Xingmi looked at them and said, "I lost my eyesight because of the Zhu thief, and now that the Zhu thief is dead, I can see the light again." ”
Then he told them to leave: "You should know who you owe allegiance." When he saw his princess Zhu, his anger was even stronger: "My concubine, look at my eyes, do you think I should continue to be invisible?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the knife and was about to kill her, but Zhu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Yang Xingmi resolved the internal crisis at a low cost, united with Zhu Wen and Qian Biao to destroy Sun Ru in Chuzhou and attacked Qian Biao and Zhu Wen, intending to unify the great cause. But in 905 AD, Yang Xingmi died of illness, respecting the Tang Dynasty as the main and calling himself "King Wu".
Although he was actually the emperor of the Jianghuai region, he still gave face to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also posthumously named him "King Wu Zhongwu".
In 927 AD, Yang Xingmi's fourth son, Yang Pu, ascended the throne, founded a new dynasty, and posthumously crowned Yang Xingmi"Emperor Wu Wu"。After that, he relied on a talent named Li Yu.
Although Li Yu himself is not particularly famous, his son Li Jing is believed to be familiar to everyone, and his grandson Li Yu is even more famous. Ten years later, however, Li Yu usurped the throne and established the Southern Tang Dynasty, and history seems to have returned to square one.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Yang Xingmi's evaluation has always been very high, and he is even known as an outstanding figure in this period. Some even estimate that if he were given another ten years, he might succeed in eliminating Qian Biao, unify the south, confront the regimes in the north, and form a new period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
It is even possible that he will surpass Zhu Yuanzhang and become the first person in history to unify the whole country from the south to the north. However, history did not give him this opportunity, and he eventually died young.
But if he were really given another ten or twenty years, would he be able to accomplish such a great undertaking?
