Li Chunyan) Wang Yanjun, the third emperor of the Min regime, had a very attractive maid named Li Chunyan.
said that Li Chunyan is good-looking, not boasting, and there have been more detailed records in many historical books.
This deep palace beauty has a face like a peach blossom, skin like snow, eyes like pearls, teeth like shells, and good-looking energy, don't mention it.
So although Li Chunyan is just a servant girl with a low status, she is often favored by the emperor and even won Long Ze.
We will talk about the story of this servant girl later, and now, the author wants to popularize the historical background for those who are not familiar with this period of history.
The state of Fujian was a secessionist regime in the province of Fujian today, during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
King Taizu knew that a spear leveled the world, a white horse stepped on mountains and rivers, fought bravely, governed the country majesticly, and was nicknamed "White Horse Saburo".
The old emperor worked hard all his life, laid down the territory of Fujian, and before he died, he passed the throne to his eldest son, Wang Yanhan.
Comrade Wang Yanhan was a very pure faint gentleman, eating, drinking, and having fun, abducting and cheating, building a large number of buildings, parading endlessly, and often going to the people to rob the people's daughters, which caused the people of Fujian to complain and the people to the sky.
Wang Yanhan has two younger brothers, one is called Wang Yanjun and the other is Wang Yanyu, seeing that the eldest brother is incompetent in governing the country and the people's hearts are lost, he temporarily formed a team and raised the banner of rebellion against Wang Yanhan.
Wang Yanhan) Mencius has clouds, and there is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust.
Wang Yanhan was "made" by a god, and everyone rebelled and left, unable to resist the crusade of the two younger brothers, and was soon annihilated.
As soon as Wang Yanhan died, Wang Yanjun took control of the actual state of Fujian, but another benevolent brother, Wang Yanyu, was not very satisfied.
So, Wang Yanjun and Wang Yanyu fought again, and in the end, Wang Yanjun was more skilled, got rid of Wang Yanyu, and kept the throne of the monarch.
Fujian is located in Lingnan, Fujian, and Lingnan was extremely backward in that era.
Poor mountains and bad waters, winding roads, poisonous insects and beasts, and miasma, it is really not a good place.
We often see that so-and-so ** was demoted to Lingnan in some film and television works, which is basically a death sentence.
Fujian is poor and weak, and King Taizu has spent almost half a lifetime saving such an old book, but he didn't expect his sons to be angry, and they will have fun today and mislead the country, and tomorrow they will kill each other, and as a result, the national strength will decline seriously, and the country will not be as good as day by day.
The poor king knows a generation of heroes, and he has the skill to govern the country, but he has no way to teach his sons, and almost none of the sons he gives birth to are good.
Moreover, the more serious problem is that since the new emperor Wang Yanjun got rid of the two brothers, Wang Yanhan and Wang Yanyu, he seems to have fallen into a heart disease, has been depressed, and his physical condition is not very good.
The emperor once held a banquet in the palace in the second year of the Qing Dynasty, in 935 A.D., after three rounds of drinking, he was delirious, and he actually saw Wang Yanyu, who was killed by himself, covered in blood, and walked towards him in an extremely terrifying posture.
Wang Yanjun) Lengyan Sutra once said, it's not that you don't report, the time has not come, and when the time comes, everything will be reported.
Wang Yanjun does not believe in Buddhism, but he is a person with great respect for Taoism.
But unfortunately, it is also said in the "Taishang Induction Sutra" that there is no way for good fortune and misfortune, but people call themselves, and death has more than one responsibility. Swift retribution. If you don't accumulate goodness, there will be remnants.
The author brought out these religious teachings, not to advocate feudal superstition, but to tell readers that Wang Yanjun at this time was falling into a very complex mood.
He is a religious believer and believes in the theory of karma, but in the process of fighting for the throne, he is unable to face it head-on by the brutal murder of his two brothers, and over time, he becomes a demon who tortures him all the time.
And this terrible demon can only be slightly soothed when the emperor lingers in the red powder of the harem.
The emperor's favorite pink beauty is Li Chunyan mentioned by the author at the beginning of the article.
The emperor and Li Chunyan frolicked day and night, and were happy every night, but the emperor didn't know that his son Wang Jipeng had already given him a green hat.
"Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 279": Minfu Wang Jipeng is private with Li Chunyan, a palace man.According to historical records, Li Chunyan was sexually lewd, although she was favored, she was still not satisfied, and she had an improper relationship with the emperor's son Wang Jipeng behind her back.
Wang Jipeng) Tang Dynasty, Gaozong Li Zhi was the crown prince, and his father Taizong Li Shimin's talented Wu Zetian had an affair, although he loved passionately, but Li Zhi did not have the courage to put this matter directly on the table, so it was not until Taizong swallowed his breath that Li Zhi dared to include Wu Zetian in the harem.
In contrast, our Wang Jipeng seems to be a very courageous person.
He not only directly found out the relationship between himself and Li Chunyan, but also asked his father very strongly to reward Li Chunyan to him.
Wang Yanjun was very angry, but he couldn't resist his lack of dragon body, and it was already the end of the crossbow, so he still reluctantly rewarded Li Chunyan to Wang Jipeng.
Such behavior is tantamount to fueling Wang Jipeng's arrogance.
In Wang Jipeng's eyes, his father is already a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time, and if he can get a woman from this weak father, then he can also snatch the throne from his father.
In the second year of the Qing Dynasty, in 935 AD, Wang Jipeng brazenly launched a mutiny, Wang Yanjun was powerless to resist and died in the chaos.
Brother kills brother, brother kills brother, son kills father, the alternation of power in Fujian seems to be such a cruel history of blood and tears forever.
As soon as Wang Yanjun died, Wang Jipeng replaced his father and became the fourth monarch of Fujian.
This emperor, to be honest, has nothing to say.
Needless to say, the ancient historians have already evaluated him very well.
Mutiny).
"History of the New Five Dynasties, Volume 68, Min Family Eight": "Chang, the king of Yi, does not know etiquette and righteousness".Yi Qi is a general term for the people of the border dynasty who are not civilized and barbaric.
So the meaning of this sentence is that Ouyang Xiu, the author of "The History of the New Five Dynasties", thinks that he is an uneducated, barbaric and rude shameless person.
"Zizhi Tongjian": "Chang is the heir, arrogant".Sima Guang, the author of Zizhi Tongjian, believes that Wang Jipeng had only two major characteristics during his reign, one is arrogance and the other is indulgence.
Wang Jipeng was very arrogant and rude to his subordinates, and this arrogance and rudeness quickly evolved into a kind of suspicion of his subordinates.
As a result, the old ministers of the three dynasties in the Fujian court, and even the ministers who had contributed to the establishment of Wang Jipeng's accession to the throne, became the target of Wang Jipeng's questioning.
In Wang Jipeng's eyes, killing people is the basic means of maintaining feudal rule, and if he does not kill people, he will not be able to show his majesty as the king of a country.
His arrogance made Wang Jipeng's relationship with the court bureaucrats extremely worse, and his indulgent nature made him make serious mistakes in his way to the king.
This emperor has only one characteristic in governing the country, that is, he collects money, lest he be financially empty and unable to make ends meet.
Fujian was located on the border, and did not have good relations with its neighbors, and there was no local economic development as a national financial support, so the imperial court finances were often in deficit.
It is said that when there is a problem in the country's finances, the emperor should actively develop all walks of life, promote development, and adopt the policy of recuperating with the people, so as to slowly restore the social and economic development.
But the emperor seems to have a somewhat different view on regulating the economy, he believes that it does not matter whether the people have money or not, as long as they have money, then it means that the country is rich.
As a result, our Comrade Wang Jipeng began to wantonly loot the people's wealth.
"Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 281": Specialized affairs gather, no profit and boredom.On the one hand, he raised taxes and frantically oppressed the people through feudal laws, and secondly, he often instructed the army to go to the local areas to expropriate and extort the few properties in the hands of the common people.
The common people of Fujian can be regarded as suffering, Wang Yanhan robbed the people's daughters back then, and today Wang Jipeng robbed the silver money, is it possible that the emperors of Fujian are all bandits?
Mencius Youyun: There is a way to win the world, to win its people, to win the world, to win its people, to win its people, to win its heart, and to win the people.
Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty once said that the grievances are not big, but they are fearful, and they should be cautious when carrying the boat and overturning the boat.
And the combination of these two sentences can summarize a very simple and easy-to-understand truth, that is:
Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world.
But it's a pity that Wang Jipeng, who has always been rough and barbaric, must not have read "Mencius", and the ministers around him who are good at admonishing and persuading the emperor have long been killed by him.
Those who get it are ruined in Si, although the people of Fujian are deeply affected, but there are few people who rise up to resist, and it is still the Wang royal family of Fujian who really sends Wang Jipeng to a dead end.
If the people don't revolt, sooner or later someone else will revolt.
Wang Jipeng has an uncle, named Wang Yanxi, has always had great ambitions, hidden strategy, he can't bear the corruption of Fujian Guozuo in the hands of Wang Jipeng, so he united with the Fujian general Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu to launch a mutiny, in the fourth year of Tianfu, killed Wang Jipeng in 939 AD.
It seems that this history is always full of striking similarities.
Every monarch of the Min Kingdom, except for the founding emperor Wang Zhenzhi, all died at the hands of his loved ones.
But if these emperors were not chaotic and evil, how could they end up with a rebellion and separation?
Before Wang Yanxi died, Wang Yanxi ridiculed Wang Jipeng and asked him if he had any remorse in his heart, but he didn't expect Wang Jipeng to be unrepentant, but instead ridiculed him:
"Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 282": "The monarch has no virtue, and the ministers have the courtiers' festivals!" ”There is no virtue as an emperor, and there is no courtier as a courtier.
Or, this is the best life evaluation left by Wang Jipeng to himself, and it is also the best portrayal of the development of the Fujian regime so far.
The so-called world affairs are inevitably vicissitudes, and life is inevitably full of sadness.
The Emperor's Road is glorious, but in essence, it is a road of no return.
Some people died of hard work, some people died of women, some people burned their lives, wrote about their political achievements, and some people rode horses on the battlefield and lost their lives.
It's a pity that our Comrade Wang Jipeng doesn't know how to grasp life well, and now that he is in a different place, he doesn't need to ask where he is going back.
