【Second generation governing the country】
The once all-powerful bosses passed away one after another, and the hard-working foundation was handed over to their sons. To borrow Wang Jian's words, these second-generation sons are all "infants of wealth". They were born with silver spoons in their mouths, and they are relaxed just because they have a good father. The land has gained resource advantages that others cannot match.
Zhu Youzhen, Li Cunxu, Yang Wo, and Wang Zongyan have many similarities:
They all took up the position of top leaders of the group when they were around 20 years old; they all ruined their father's foundation in different ways; they all died unexpectedly; their life spans were short. Li Cunxu was 42 years old, Zhu Youzhen was 36 years old, and Wang Zongyan was 27 years old. Yang Wo is 23 years old, which is not as long as his father.
Among them, Zhu Youzhen is worthy of sympathy, because he has a fighting heart, but he is helpless and unable to do what he wants, which leads to his defeat;
Li Cunxu is regrettable because he is the only one among the four "second generations" who expanded the group's scale through his own hard work and surpassed his father at his peak, but later became corrupted and lost himself;
And Yang Wo and Wang Zongyan are very hateful. Even historians can't find any good points in them. They can be called useless. Both of them are typical NoZuoNoDie.
Especially Wang Zongyan, who has both Yang Wo's "grave dancing" and Li Cunxu's "playing music and then dancing", double crown. So it is no surprise that his end was the most miserable among the four, and his historical evaluation was also the lowest.
Wang Zongyan turned his life into a book of three vulgarities, with luxury and enjoyment as the core and sex as the main form of expression. It is absurd, dirty and unsightly, so it is a special book.
When Wang Jian established Wang Zongyan as the crown prince, he specially made a large bronze bell and hung it in the Buddhist temple. The sound was loud and far away. Wang Jian said to the people around him: "I built this bell for no other reason than for the crown prince. This is The sound is loud and far-reaching, which means that my son’s country will be prosperous and enjoy endless enjoyment.”
Wang Jian, why did you give your son a clock?
The bronze bell had only been hung for eight days when it fell to the ground and was damaged. The faucet on the bell was broken. Wang Jian hated it and thought it was very unlucky. Later, Wang Zongyan's country perished in eight years.
The historian is also very interesting, and it is very likely that he was deliberately teasing him. In Wang Zongyan's "The Chronicles of the Empress", the opening chapter has a very bluffing aura, first praising Wang Zongyan to a very high position:
"Fang Yi has a big mouth, his hands are lowered than his knees, and he is looking at his eyes and ears." This is a description of his appearance, which can be called a replica of Liu Bei;
He is a talented and intelligent child prodigy who is "quite knowledgeable, capable of literature since childhood, and very talented."
Then there was a big reversal:
"You are very cool and fond of extravagant and beautiful words. You should collect 200 erotic poems and call it 'Firework Collection'." It turns out that his quick thinking is reflected in his obscene poems and erotic songs, as well as all kinds of vulgarities.
Starting from this sentence, there are no more positive words in the whole article, and it starts to talk about his debauched, sordid and short life. Portal: "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Ten Kingdoms·The Former Shu·The Chronicles of the Later Lord"
This is the humor of the historians, which adds a touch of lightness and humor to the boring, serious and formal history books. Who stipulates that history must be rigid and monotonous? The historian who was sitting upright turned into a jokester in seconds, blinking and sticking out his tongue, scissor hands, oh yeah.
Wang Zongyan’s biological mother is Concubine Xu Xian, and his grandfather is Xu Geng.
Xu Geng appeared during the Tian Lingzi period. At that time, Wang Jian madly attacked Chengdu, which was defended by Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan. The fight was so brutal that a tragedy of cannibalism was staged in Chengdu. Under Wang Jian's huge military pressure, Tian Jian's group was in danger, so a large number of soldiers and civilians defected and surrendered. To this end, Tian Jian used various tortures and killings to deter them.
At that time, Xu Geng, the governor of Meizhou, was appointed as the "Commander of Internal and External Affairs", which was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of city defense. He was the top executor of the execution of traitors. However, he withstood the pressure from above and did not kill anyone. It is estimated that he at least saved Thousands of people were killed (often thousands in total), Chengdu version of "Schindler's List". Tian Lingzi was very angry and threatened him: "You are responsible for killing traitors, but you refuse to kill anyone. Do you also want to be a traitor? (The public palm kills without punishing anyone, which is a strange thing)"
Xu Geng had no choice but to execute several death row prisoners to deal with Tian Lingzi.
The soldiers and civilians of Chengdu were very grateful to Xu Geng for his kindness and generosity. Xu Geng's actions also moved his enemy Wang Jian. When Wang Jian came to Chengdu, he treated Xu Gengshu with courtesy. In addition to various rewards, Wang Jian also proposed to further sublimate the close relationship between the two, "I want you to be my father-in-law."
Chengdu has produced beauties since ancient times. Xu Geng had two daughters, both of whom were of national beauty and heavenly beauty (Geng had two daughters, both of national beauty).
Wang Jian: “I want them all!”
The elder sister of this pair of sisters is Concubine Xu Xian, also known as the eldest Concubine Xu, who gave birth to Wang Zongyan; the younger sister Concubine Xu Shu, also known as the Concubine Xiao Xu. According to records, Concubine Xu was particularly beautiful and was nicknamed "Mrs. Huarui". Both sisters were very educated and good at poetry. A total of sixteen poems by the sisters were passed down to future generations. Little Concubine Xu compiled "The Palace Ci of Mrs. Huarui" and was one of the "Four Talented Women in Sichuan".
Coincidentally, Hou Shu (also among the "Ten Kingdoms") that replaced the former Shu also had a "Mrs. Hua Rui". People in later generations mistakenly thought that "Mrs. Hua Rui's Palace Ci" was written by Mrs. Hua Rui of Hou Shu. This kind of The wrong view lasted for more than a thousand years. It was not until the 1940s, before the birth of New China, that the famous classical literature research expert Mr. Pu Jiangqing (collectively known as "Tsinghua Shuangqing" with Zhu Ziqing) verified the origin of "Mrs. Huarui's Gongci" The copyright should belong to Concubine Xu of Qian Shu.
Let’s read some excerpts from the sisters’ poems:
"Clear tears stain Luo Bing, and red clouds blow over embroidered clothes.
The mountains and rivers in Jiuyi are far away, and there is no way to succeed Xiang Fei. "——"The Visitor's Father Visits the Late Emperor's Royal Appearance" (Excerpt) Little Concubine Xu
“Before the rain washes away the mountains, the wind blows away and the roads open.
There is no need to envy Penglai among green screens and running water. "——"Another Inscription on Jinhua Palace" (Excerpt) Concubine Xu
"Suddenly I feel like I transcend the three realms, and I have six channels of confusion.
I hope that Yanhua will be repaired and the country will be protected and flooded. "——"Watching the Holy Lamp at Night at Sanxue Mountain in Hanzhou" (Excerpt) Concubine Xu
"My emperor's son will pass on the royal legacy, and the good deeds will be shared by all the world." - Little Concubine Xu
"I have always been afraid of living in this situation, and the Jade Emperor taught me to live in Jincheng." - Little Concubine Xu
"When you go out to see the scenery of the country and the mountains recently, you will be judged by the country." - Little Concubine Xu
The last sentence has the artistic conception of "when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you".
It can be seen that most of the poems written by the sisters are travel poems. Compared with the superficial "visit here", the two talented and beautiful goddesses drank and composed poems at tourist resorts, and then carved them on jade as a souvenir, which is quite interesting. For elegance.
After Wang Zongyan came to the throne, he respected his mother, Concubine Xu Xian, as the queen mother, and his aunt, Concubine Xu Shu, as the dowager. We will continue to use the titles of Big Concubine Xu and Little Concubine Xu in the following article. My grandfather, Xu Geng, rose to the rank of General of Hussars.
Xu Gengzhai has a kind heart and a good life. His name will go down in history and his reputation will last forever. But the characters of his two daughters were completely opposite to his. The virtuous concubines were not virtuous, and the virtuous concubines were not virtuous, which made Qianshu a mess.
In their capacity as queen mother and concubine, Xu Xianfei and her sisters personally sold their official positions and titles. The prices for the positions below the governor were clearly marked. Due to the booming business, they were auctioned and the one with the highest bid got it. They also opened shops and hotels in major business districts and used their power to enter the real estate industry. , compete with the people for profit.
