As early as 907 AD, Zhu Wen made Liang king, and it didn't take long to curry favor with the master of the Tang Dynasty. The establishment of Houliang in Zhu Wen marked the great division of China into the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. It can be said that this Zhu Wen is the initiator of the split.
At that time, there were two major forces in the world, one was Liu Rengong in Youzhou, and the other was Li Keyong, the king of Jin in Hedong. Li Keyong and Zhu Wen are sworn enemies. Li Keyong, whose ancestral home is Shatuo, was appointed as our envoy to Hedong for his meritorious service in destroying Huang Chao. He is the father of Li. How did they get revenge? This is a long history. In a word, Zhu Wen wanted to directly end Li Keyong's head at the banquet. If it weren't for the sudden rainstorm, Keyong Li would have become a corpse in the fire. Later, Li Keyong contacted Paul to attack Zhu Wen. As a result, Paul got cold feet, which made Li Keyong angry. Before he died, he confessed his son. The revenge of Zhu Wen was not reported, the shame of Qidan was not reported, and the land of Youzhou was not collected. Let him realize his wish.
After Li acceded to the throne, he actively cooperated with the war, preserved his strength and trained an elite Shatuo cavalry, which made him famous. In 9 12 AD, hundreds of soldiers defeated the 500,000-strong army led by Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen died of anger.
In 9 14, Youzhou was conquered and Liu and his son were captured alive. In 920, Baoji led a great army south. As a result, Shahe met five thousand fighters from Li, and he was defeated. In the past ten years, Shatuo cavalry has been famous all over the world. In 923 AD, he conquered Houliang and unified the North. He proclaimed himself emperor in Weizhou and established the later Tang Dynasty.
But since then, it has become Li's world. Take sides with actors, stop being diligent, and go to the theatre when you have nothing to do. As for the ministers under the emperor's brothers, it depends on the mood, either teasing or humiliating, and there is no law and discipline at all.
Li let the actresses play the role of spies in an unprecedented way, spying on all kinds of information, mainly limited to whether the words and deeds of ministers are disloyal. The arrangement of civilian military commanders also puts actors first.
Originally, after the establishment of the later Tang Dynasty, he could do his best to make greater achievements, but because of Li Yixin's enjoyment, he had no political psychology. Nor did they choose a particularly effective minister to assist them. Only the actors in the DPRK are in power, and the civil servants are often powerless. On the surface, they would obey orders, but the soldiers couldn't accept it and expressed different voices, but Li didn't care.
In 926 AD, Li listened to slanderers and killed general Guo Chongtao, and Li Siyuan was almost killed. The power of courtiers can be taken away, but the military power can't. Under the impetus of all the soldiers, Li Siyuan became king and marched into Luoyang. Lee assembled his troops, but they were divided in half. It turns out that these people are women who were robbed by Zhuang Zong's brother! Emperor Li had to return to Luoyang, but to his surprise, his younger brother Guo used his breakfast and burned him alive in the palace.
Ouyang Xiu commented that he said that he was dead, the country was destroyed, and he laughed at the world. This is true.
No one can match him militarily. He is a talented general, but he is really not a good emperor. The end result of spoiling an actor is being laughed at as a political idiot.
