The palace caught fire) in the fourth year of Tianfu, 939 A.D.
This year, in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian, a fire broke out inexplicably in the north hall of the imperial palace, the fire was raging, the heat wave was monstrous, and several treasure halls that had just been completed were burned to ashes, and they were all wiped out.
Fujian was a secessionist regime in the Ten Kingdoms during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and its general sphere of influence basically coincided with today's Fujian Province.
For the emperor of Fujian at that time, King Jipeng of Min Kangzong, it was not a big deal to burn a few palaces in vain, Fuzhou City had three lanes and seven lanes, and there were many palaces, and there were not many of these treasure halls, and there were many of these treasure halls, but the problem was that the burned treasure halls would not disappear out of thin air, but left a large number of remnants of bricks and tiles in place.
The original graceful, clean and tidy palace is no longer there, replaced by a dirty mess under a cloud of dust and rubble.
"Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 282": The main life of Fujian was re-encountered, and the internal and external battalions were swept away from the embers, and 10,000 people were served in a day, and the soldiers were very miserable.The emperor may not have a habit of cleanliness, but he must not want to stay in the garbage heap all day, so soon, he ordered the palace guards to take up the job of cleaning aunts part-time and began to clean the palace.
The soldiers in the palace are actually the emperor's guards.
The guard army of Fujian is divided into two branches, one is called the Gongchen army and the other is called the crane control army.
The leader of the Gongchen Army is called Zhu Wenjin, and the leader of the Gonghe Army is called Lian Chongyu.
These two pro-armies, well-equipped and well-trained, are the descendants of the lineage, the elite of the elite, and it is already overkill to let them take care of the home and nursing home, and at this moment let them take off their uniforms, put down their swords, and take rags and brooms to do hygiene, which is really not appropriate.
There are more than 10,000 pro-soldiers who are responsible for cleaning up, and cleaning the wreckage of the palace is manual work, so these soldiers sweat and complain every day.
King Jipeng of Kangzong has always been mean and unkind, and he is even less considerate to the soldiers, but orders them to work overtime and do not give them any rest time, as a result, the soldiers are angry, and their opinions on the emperor are quite large.
Capitalists, living capitalists of the old society.
Moreover, before this, the emperor had mentioned more than once that he wanted to disband Gongchen and the second army of Gonghe and send them to the local area to be used as ordinary soldiers, which intensified the contradiction between the emperor and the soldiers.
Many emperors in history have the problem of "loving generals like treasures, treating soldiers as grass", giving preferential treatment to generals, but despising ordinary soldiers, our Kangzong Wang Jipeng is a ruthless person, treating generals and soldiers equally, he has no humanity towards the soldiers, arranging them to do this kind of high-intensity manual labor all day long, and the leaders of the two armies of Gongchen and Gonghe do not give a good face, and they often reprimand and scold and teach lessons.
As a result, Zhu Lian and the others were unbearable, and soon teamed up with the pro-army soldiers who had long been dissatisfied with the emperor to set off a vigorous uprising.
One fire is also burning, two fires are also burning, Zhu Lian and the two of them did not stop, taking advantage of the hazy night, directly put a fire in the Changchun Palace where King Jipeng of Kangzong lived, and then took advantage of the chaos to launch a rebellion and destroy Wang Jipeng.
The downfall of Kangzong Wang Jipeng can be summed up as a very simple but profound enterprise management experience, that is:
It's okay to recruit people to work, but ask the bosses to pay how much they pay and how much work they do, and at the same time they should do it full-time, and don't force employees to do some jobs that don't belong to others.
Capitalists are essentially here to make money, not to engage in exploitation.
I'm here to work for you, not to work hard for you.
As soon as Wang Jipeng died, Zhu Lian and the others immediately established Wang Jipeng's uncle, Wang Yanxi, the youngest son of King Taizu, as the new emperor, known as Min Jingzong in history.
Minjingzong Wang Yanxi image).
Friends, Zhu Lian and Wang Yanxi were not very familiar with each other before this.
Although these two benevolent brothers killed the monarch and rebelled, they were not rebellious ministers and thieves in the traditional sense.
There are only two reasons why they killed Kangzong Wang Jipeng, one is that they are unbearable and resist angrily, and the other is that they want to change the decline of Kangzong's mediocrity and misguided country and the downward trend of the Fujian regime through their own efforts.
They did not think of usurping the throne and standing on their own, or seeking any direct benefit for themselves in this rebellion, so they quickly returned power to the Wang Emperor after mastering the situation.
Swords and swords, bloody court, when there is chaos, the country cannot be without a king for a day, so Wang Yanxi is not only the new monarch they supported in a hurry, but also their hope for the revival of the great cause of Fujian.
But obviously, Wang Yanxi is not this material.
They didn't know before they supported Wang Yanxi, this young son of Taizu, the first emperor's uncle, had a bad reputation in the community, arrogant and lascivious, and tyrannical temperament, and he was really not a master who could pin his hopes on.
King Jingzong's career as an emperor can basically be summed up in one sentence, that is:
Do everything but good things, everything but face.
The emperor built a lot of buildings, built palaces, entertained leisurely, paraded endlessly, brutalized the people, suppressed the civil and military ministers, and basically did bad things.
Even re-encounter image).
The emperor is so virtuous and corrupt, and the most distressed person is not others, it is Zhu Lian and the others who supported him.
These two benevolent brothers killed Wang Jipeng, and the act of killing the monarch and rebelling against the lord has long been known to the government and the public, and the ministers in the court dislike them and do not associate with them, and the people of the people do not know the inside story, and when they mention Zhu Lian and the others, they often grit their teeth and regard them as chaotic ministers and thieves.
If King Yanxi of Jingzong is a Ming monarch, then Zhu Lian and the others cherish the name of the first generation and give a good emperor of civil and martial arts to Fujian, and they have no regrets, but Wang Yanxi, the emperor, is really bad, which just confirms the fact that Zhu Lian and the others killed the first emperor and aided in the abuse.
The inside and outside are not people, and the inside and outside are not people.
And more importantly, as ministers with meritorious support, Zhu Lian and the others did not receive preferential treatment from Emperor Jing Yanxi, but became the emperor's key suspects.
The emperor's suspicion is not groundless, because the Gongchen in the hands of Zhu Lian and the two of them is really powerful, and they have the ability to launch a mutiny, and if they get rid of Wang Jipeng, they also have the ability to launch a mutiny again and get rid of themselves.
At this time, the emperor was full of murderous intentions, and he had already sharpened his knife, and was always ready to find a reason to get rid of Zhu Lian and the others.
However, the young emperor, who had just ascended to the throne, still thought about the power and conspiracy in the court too simply.
The so-called "when the judgment is made, it will be decided, and it will not be chaotic, and when the judgment continues, it will be difficult." The opportunities on the political battlefield are rapidly changing and fleeting, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness and hesitation.
If you want to get rid of Zhu Lian and the others, you can't just think about it, but you have to do it.
The emperor thought about it day and night, but he didn't move, and Zhu Lian, who had already figured out the emperor's thoughts, no longer hesitated, rose up to resist, launched a mutiny again, and killed Wang Yanxi.
Emperor, Emperor, it's not that you deserve to die, but that you don't die, we really don't know how to live.
Wang Yanxi died, and the throne of Min was vacant again.
But this time, Zhu Lian and the others will no longer be stupid enough to bring others to be emperors.
The emperor was also born to his father, raised by his mother, and also eats cereals, as well as joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and also has two shoulders and a head, he Wang Jipeng and Wang Yanxi can do it, how can I Zhu Wenjin not do it?
In the ninth year of Tianfu, in 944 A.D., in the first month, Zhu Lian and the two killed Wang Yanxi and grasped the actual control of Fujian.
About Zhu Wenjin this comrade, there are very few records in the history books, we can only know that this comrade is a native of Yongtai, Fuzhou, in the early years, he followed the Fujian king's clan to fight in the south and the north, and when he was in the time of King Kangzong's Jipeng, he was tired of moving the commander of the Gongchen army, and he has been serving in the palace gate, and he is a very pure imperial party.
In Zhu Wenjin's own words, he came to this point and became the emperor, which was really a last resort.
This is really a bit funny, and no one is holding a knife to your neck to force you to be the emperor, why do you have to force it?
There are not so many forced forces in this world, and more of them are pushing themselves.
On the day of his accession to the throne, the city of Fuzhou was full of people, the water was impassable, and by the way, the flowers were full of flowers, and the salute was fired, and people were scrambling to see what kind of person the newly appointed emperor surnamed Zhu was.
Zhu Wenjin was called emperor).
Zhu Wenjin himself is also very happy, for him, this is a big step forward in his life.
It is really a pleasant thing to be the king and hegemon, to rule the Fujian country, and to have supreme glory and glory.
Hundreds of officials bowed their heads, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs shouted long live, this sense of happiness in holding power almost made Zhu Wenjin's mind dizzy.
But obviously, Zhu Wenjin only saw the happiness in front of him, and did not realize that the years after him must be full of sadness.
This is based on a very simple social law, and that is:
When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.
At the end of the article, the author is willing to adapt a passage from the British writer Zweig's "The Beheaded Queen" to end Zhu Wenjin's life and end this short article
Zhu Wenjin didn't realize that fate was too partial to him, his life was smooth, good luck followed, if he didn't like it, he would kill people, and if he was not satisfied, he would mutiny, he only relied on the favor of God, but he never accumulated any strength to fight against adversity.
He didn't understand that being crowned emperor and crowned king at this time was not a gift, but a gift.
Since it's a gift, it's always full of emotion.
And all the gifts in this world that are given by fate have already been secretly marked**.
Although the rose is fragrant and gorgeous, if you want to pick the rose, you must bear its injury, and although the crown is bright and precious, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Zhu Wenjin can't afford to wear this crown, he will soon understand what is the ruthlessness of history and the cruelty of reality.
Here are five dynasties and ten kingdoms, deceitful and strife, and no one can go to the end.
