Although Qian Yuanguan has made great achievements, he does not have an overwhelming advantage. For example, his sixth brother Qian Yuanhuang is on par with him. Although the brothers unanimously recommended Qian Yuanguan in front of Qian Liu, it also means "guessing the holy will" here.

Qian Yuanguan, the second ruler of Wuyue Kingdom, came out of the fog and ended his life in the fog. The ten years of his reign were the most confusing historical period in the history of Wuyue Kingdom.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Qian Yuanguan and his brothers were keeping vigil for his father Qian Liu in the same tent. At this time, Lu Renzhang, the commander of Nei Ya, said that it was inappropriate and said that you have inherited your father's throne and you were brothers in the past. Now as a monarch and his ministers, there should be distinctions between superiority and inferiority. So he helped Qian Yuanguan to a separate tent, and warned the guards that from now on, if Qian Yuanguan's brothers want to see Qian Yuanguan, they must come here to pay homage, and no one is allowed to bring their attendants.

Who is this Lu Renzhang, and why does he dare to point fingers at Qian Yuanguan and his brothers?

To give a brief introduction, Lu Renzhang was originally from a poor background. Due to his livelihood, he found a job as a security guard in the park with Qian Liu. One day Qian Liu was visiting the garden and suddenly discovered that this young security guard was proficient in gardening and could not take care of bonsai. He was not a good general, so Qian Liu began to pay attention to him from then on.

In 909, Huainan besieged the important town of Suzhou and set up three lines of defense, turning Suzhou into an isolated city. In addition to isolating the land route, the Huainan people also set up layers of large nets in the canals leading to Suzhou, with copper bells hung on the nets. Historical records say that even if fish and turtles pass through, the alarm bells will be triggered.

Lu Renzhang came up with an idea for Qian Liu who was worried. He found Sima Fu, the best diver in the Wuyue army, and asked him to hold a big bamboo pole and sneak under the water. He deliberately used the long bamboo pole to touch the big net. When the Huainan soldiers heard the bell and closed the net, they took the opportunity to pass. In this way, Sima Fu spent three days and three nights walking and walking in the water before he successfully sneaked into the city by water, allowing the defenders to get in touch with the reinforcements, and finally repelled the Huainan Army.

From then on, Qian Liu admired Lu Renzhang even more, and then regarded him as his grandson. Later, he was promoted to the director of military supplies of the two prefectures and the commander of Nei Ya. Judging from these two positions of being in charge of food and in charge of the "Forbidden Army", Qian Liu indeed regarded Lu Renzhang as one of his own.

Qian Liu had so many "people", how could Lu Renzhang become one of Tuogu's important ministers? Because in addition to being resourceful and flexible, Lu Renzhang also has a very important advantage - integrity and loyalty.

After it was clear that Qian Yuanguan was the successor, the civil and military officials began to secretly wink at Qian Yuanguan, secretly attach themselves to Qian Yuanguan, and reserve a "Conglong Meritorious Official" gift package for the next version update. However, Lu Renzhang not only did not flatter Qian Yuanguan, but also acted selflessly and offended Qian Yuanguan many times on official business.

Now, as the commander of Nei Ya, Lu Renzhang's first job is to ensure Qian Yuanguan's personal safety. Lu Renzhang set up a private room for Qian Yuanguan and assigned special personnel to protect him 24 hours a day. Anyone who needed to visit Qian Yuanguan had to be alone and were not allowed to bring accompanying guards; "Guards are guarded day and night and do not take frequent breaks."

Qian Yuanguan was very grateful and expressed his condolences to Lu Renzhang many times. The monarch and his ministers talked to each other heart to heart and eliminated all previous "misunderstandings." Lu Renzhang explained: "At that time, the late king was still in power. I only knew how to serve the late king, so I would not serve you. Now that you have succeeded to the throne, I will serve the late king just as I did." I'll serve you." So Qian Yuanyuan sighed for a long time.

With the assistance of Lu Renzhang and other Tuogu ministers, Qian Yuanguan successfully ascended the throne, and Wu Yue Kingdom completed the first transfer of power.

But is this transfer of supreme power really so smooth?

"Qian Yuan's Rebellion Case"

Qian Yuanguan's actions after coming to power were quite satisfactory, such as reducing rents and taxes, awarding rewards to civil and military officials, soldiers at all levels, etc. In December of the next year, Qian Yuanguan's second brother Qian Yuanji died of illness.

Qian Yuanji is the second son of Qian Liu. He is generous, taciturn, lives a frugal and simple life, advocates Confucianism and Buddhism, has a political voice wherever he goes, and is loved by the people. He had a deep relationship with his wife. After losing her early in life, he never remarried for the rest of his life. This is all the records of him in historical records.

If Qian Chuanying is really Qian Liu's eldest son, Qian Yuanji should undoubtedly be the first heir in order of eldest son. Today, he passed away in good time and quality.

In the same year that Qian Yuanji died of illness, Qian Yuanguan called his younger brother Qian Yuanjue to Hangzhou.

Qian Yuanjue, the twelfth son of Qian Liu, was the half-brother of Qian Yuanji. He was in charge of Mingzhou at that time. It is said that he acted recklessly in Mingzhou and often acted tyrannically. Qian Yuanju repeatedly made excessive demands to Qian Yuanguan. If he could not be satisfied, he wrote a letter accusing and insulting Qian Yuanguan. He also set up private prisons and various tortures. He often paid tribute to "torture by burning". It is said that the stench of burning human flesh caused It has to be all over the city. Therefore, Qian Yuanguan sent his trusted general Yang Renquan to summon him to Hangzhou to accept organizational investigation. Soon, Qian Yuanjue was dismissed, deposed as a commoner, and placed under house arrest in Hangzhou.

At this time, another brother Qian Yuan stepped onto the stage of history. Qian Yuan, historical records say he was Qian Liu's beloved son and had numerous military exploits. How much did Qian Liu love him? From tired officials to Tuke Mabu Commander, Jingjiang Army Jiedushi, and Zhongshu Ling, he was granted the title of Marquis of Funan, and even gave him a military staff, which meant that he was allowed to raise private weapons and have dead soldiers.

When Qian Yuanguan succeeded to the throne, Qian Yuan was very unconvinced and expanded the scale of his private armed forces without authorization. It is said that there were thousands of people. What is even more shocking is that historical records say that many civil and military officials secretly attached themselves to him. Qian Yuanguan gradually felt the pressure, so he asked someone to give him a private message, urging him to reduce the size of his private armed forces, and suggested that he ask to be sent to Wenzhou to avoid suspicion. In this way, both Qian Yuanguan and Qian Yuan would have face. , all have steps, and we are all decent people.

Qian Yuan flatly refused.

Therefore, the official in charge of Tongguan Temple secretly reported and revealed a major event: Qian Yuan sent his cronies to Tongguan Temple to pray to God and Buddha, and pray that he would be named the King of Wuyue. Someone else reported that Qian Yuan secretly colluded with Qian Yuanjue, who was under house arrest, through the Wax Pill Book to plot evil!

This tip was well timed.

It is said that Qian Yuanguan firmly does not believe it. My brother is so cute and honest. Although he is naughty and arrogant, he will not stage a coup. You are overthinking...

After the generals' constant persuasion, Qian Yuanguan decided to invite Qian Yuan to the palace for a banquet. They all sat down and had a good chat to eliminate misunderstandings. As a result, as soon as Qian Yuan entered the table, he was immediately reported by people around him, saying that he had a dagger hidden in his sleeve! Before he could defend himself, he was killed on the spot, and then Qian Yuanguan ordered Qian Yuanju, who was under house arrest, to be killed.

The above is one version from historical records...

For example, in China, the Qian Yuan mentioned above is recorded as Qian Yuan Ball.

There may be a clerical error here. Qian Liu did love Qian Yuanqiu at first. During the "Xu and Xu Rebellion", Qian Liu planned to let Qian Yuanqiu be Tian Yu's hostage. Qian Yuanqiu refused, making Qian Yuan so angry that he almost killed him. , and from then on he was no longer reused and his military power was taken away. However, later it was recorded that Qian Yuanqiu was awarded an official title due to his meritorious service, and like Qian Yuanjue, he might have been given a military title...

I prefer to believe that this is a clerical error. One clerical error is understandable, but clerical errors everywhere seem a bit incredible.

We have emphasized before that the work by descendants of the Qian family has a certain degree of beautification of the Qian Group and excessive modification of some historical facts. For example, records of this matter give different answers.

Let’s take a look at the description of “Qian Yuan’s rebellion case”. According to records, when Qian Yuanguan heard that Qian Yuan intended to rebel:

"King Wenmu then galloped to summon Yuan Yan to the palace. When he arrived, the left and right Yang said that Yuan had a sword falling into his arms. If the plan was unexpected, he immediately killed him and killed Yuan Jue."

And Zeyun said: "The generals reported again, Wang Naizhao..." Qian Yuanguan looked silly and sweet, or he valued feelings and brotherhood, which was in line with the political correctness of the Song Dynasty.

"Chiqi", without delay, invited Qian Yuan to drink tea as quickly as possible. As soon as Qian Yuan came in, the people immediately claimed that he had a sharp knife, and then executed Qian Yuan on the spot.

After killing the two men, Qian Yuanguan also planned to pull out the carrots and bring them out of the mud, and catch all the officials who had secret dealings with Qian Yuan. His nephew Qian Renjun tried to dissuade him, and used Cao Cao's burning of books after the Battle of Guandu as a metaphor. Qian Yuanguan then gave up asking for more details.

This conspiracy that was nipped in the bud is very strange. The most strange thing is why Qian Yuan colluded with Qian Yuanjue?

Although Qian Yuanjue had the motive to commit the crime - he was deposed as a commoner and placed under house arrest, but did he have the ability to be a teammate? With no power, no soldiers, no territory, no products, and no even the most basic personal freedoms, will Qian Yuan collude with him if he wants to rebel? How can he help you? Will give you nothing but help.

What's more, because Qian Yuanjue is under house arrest, he is surrounded by spies planted by Qian Yuanguan, and his every move, word and deed is being monitored. Are you colluding with him because you are afraid that the plan will not be leaked?

And what if Qian Yuanjue takes your investment certificate? Forward your wax pill book to Qian Yuanguan, "Brother Qi, although I am cruel and cruel, I am absolutely loyal to you. Look at this guy with a human face and a beast heart, he is a real tiger! He wants to drag me into trouble, I will report him." Expose it and I will make meritorious deeds!”

Taking a step back, even if you succeed, Qian Yuanjue, a person who only supports you spiritually, will become a veteran hero and share the fruits of victory with you...

Qian Yuan colluded with Qian Yuanjue? If it deviates from the general spectrum, it belongs to yes, and it is absolutely stupid.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. If you change your position, it will be very scary to think about it: Qian Yuanguan is afraid of his brothers, especially Qian Yuanjue and Qian Yuan who hold military power and are in charge of the place. They stood out, so they were "conspired against".

Here’s the question, if the person who poses the greatest threat to Qian Yuanguan is, shouldn’t it be Qian Yuanguan? How will Qian Yuanguan deal with Qian Yuanhuang?

Historical records say that Qian Yuanhuang was "remarkable in appearance and handsome in spirit". He bravely married Yang Xingmi's daughter when the group was in crisis, conquered Muzhou, restored Huzhou, and attacked Dongzhou... "all of them were meritorious in the battle." Wu Jun's Jiedushi, Su Changrun and other state regiment training envoys and Taifu Tongzhongshu's disciples settled down in Suzhou.

After Qian Yuanguan ascended the throne, Qian Yuanhuang came from Suzhou to "visit" him. Qian Yuanguan treated him with courtesy from his family and personally served his sixth brother a cup of wine to celebrate his birthday. "Brother, this throne originally belonged to you, but now I don't want it," he said. Occupy the magpie’s nest.”

Qian Yuanhuang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you have great merits and deeds. Our father chose the right ones to establish his throne. Now that the status of king and minister has been made clear, you should respect your hegemony and cherish it!"

Then both brothers burst into tears. What a touching scene, a perfect example of respect between brothers and sisters. Such a touching and Song Dynasty-style record certainly comes from, so let’s take a look at it again. Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies:

"...The king and his ministers have their own positions, and they only know how to be respectful."

Let’s take a closer look at these two sentences from this man:

: "Respectfully guard your hegemony and cherish it yourself";

: "I only know how to be respectful."

The records before the two sentences are basically the same, and there is no objection. But the meanings of these two sentences are quite different.

In the middle, Qian Yuanhuang preached and admonished Qian Yuanguan as his elder brother, "You have come to power, work hard for me! Don't betray our father's trust, you hear me!" In the middle, Qian Yuanhuang gave in. Surrender, "Brother now only pretends to be a grandson with his tail between his legs, can you please don't kill me?"

I still prefer to record that similar scenes have appeared repeatedly in the long river of history, and they all have the same name, called "Hongmen Banquet".

Qian Yuanhuang's statement made Qian Yuanguan very satisfied. After the banquet, Qian Yuanhuang was promoted and demoted secretly, and was deprived of his real power. A Jingu Garden was built in Hangzhou to "entertain the elderly", and a Yanyu Tower was built next to Qihu Lake. In short, two high-level prisons.

Qian Yuanhuang has withdrawn from the stage of history forever.

Qian Yuanji, the first heir in the order of eldest child, died of illness in time; Qian Yuanhuang, the most famous and popular person, quit the game, deleted his account, and was placed under house arrest; Qian Yuanju, Qian who was strong and disobedient to discipline Yuan, was killed for "rebellion".

After removing these few early entrants, will Qian Yuanguan be able to secure a position in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang...?
