Chapter 10 6. Challenge strong neighbors horizontally

In this century, the fate of the Chinese people is even more miserable than in the last (ninth) century.From the Anlushan Mutiny in the middle of the eighth century to the end of the ninth century, it lasted for 145 years; I have always believed that whether it is extremely certain or not, the crisis is the turning point, and the disaster will always pass. Unexpectedly, since the 1960s, China has fallen into a dark age until the 10th century. At the beginning of the tenth century, the long-ill Tang Dynasty finally perished.China was divided by separatist regimes, we call it the "Era of Minor Separation", which is the symmetry of the "Era of Great Separation".Second, the split period was shorter, only seventy-three years.In the era of the small division, five short-lived empires were established in the Central Plains, and eleven short-lived empires, short-lived kingdoms, or short-lived political entities were established in other lands, so it is also called the "Era of Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms".Everywhere you look, nothing but war is still war; nothing but hunger is still hunger; nothing but killing is still killing.Emperors, generals and ministers are nothing but a group of wild beasts.

It was not until the Song Dynasty unified China in the 1970s that the people took a breather, but the territory was two-thirds smaller than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After the catastrophe, China will no longer be as glorious as before. 1. In spring, on the 2nd day of the first lunar month, the Chengde war zone (headquartered in Zhenzhou) of the Later Jin Empire (the capital of Kaifeng) was guarded and turned into a barracks gate officer (Yajiang). The water hole used by the mill) led the central army into the city, slaughtered 20,000 rebels, and captured and beheaded An Chongrong, the leader of the rebel army and the former commander of the theater (Jiedushi).Du Chongwei, the commander of the central campaign (recruitment envoy), found an excuse to kill the battalion gate officer and monopolize all the credit.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, An Chongrong's head was sent to Yedu (Guangjin Prefecture, Daming County, Hebei Province), and Shi Jingtang (51 years old this year), Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty (one of the great ancestors), ordered to paint it and put it in a wooden box. Sent to Liao State (capital Linhuang Mansion). On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhenzhou was renamed Hengzhou (Zhenzhou was originally named Hengzhou, but it was renamed Zhenzhou in 820 because it avoided the word "Heng" written by the fifteenth emperor Li Heng during the Tang Dynasty. In 1999, the original name was restored), and the Chengde theater was renamed the Shunguo theater.

On the 11th day of the first lunar month, Shi Jingtang was promoted to be the deputy chief supervisor (Menxia Shilang), the second-level actual prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi), and Zhao Ying to be the supreme supervisor (servant); Also serving as a minister and envoy). An Chongrong's private property, Hengzhou's grain and treasury were all swallowed up by Du Chongwei.Although Shi Jingtang knew the truth, he ignored it.Du Chongwei went to Shangshu to appoint Wang Yu, the deputy minister of the ordnance supply department (Wei Wei Shaoqing) Fan Yang (Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province) as the deputy commander (deputy envoy).Wang Yu collected heavy taxes from the people, and the people of Hengzhou suffered terribly.

Zhang Shi's father, Zhang Duo, went to the capital (the capital city of Kaifeng) to sue Zhang Yanze for wrongful murder (for Zhang Shi's tragic death, refer to February last year). On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, the Later Jin government ordered Wang Zhou, the commander of the Heyang theater (headquartered in Mengzhou), to be the commander of the Zhangyi theater (headquartered in Jingzhou), replacing Zhang Yanze. 2. Wang Yanxi (Wang Xi), the emperor (third Jingzong) of the Fujian Empire (the capital of Changlefu), made Ms. Li the queen. Ms. Li was the daughter of Prime Minister Li Zhen.

3. Ding Shenqi, the commander of Zhangwu War Zone (headquartered in Yanzhou) in the later Jin Dynasty, established a private army of 1,000 people to run rampant and brutal in the area under his jurisdiction.Military officer He Zhengxing united with various tribes of the Hu people and attacked Yanzhou.Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang sent Caozhou (Dingtao County, Shandong Province) garrison commander (defense envoy) He Jianjian to lead the army to reinforce, and reinforcements from Kuangguo (headquartered in Tongzhou) and Baoda (headquartered in Qizhou) also arrived one after another, barely keeping the Yanzhou.

On February 9, the central government ordered He Jianjian to be the alternate commander of Zhangwu (headquarters in Yanzhou) (remaining behind), and transferred Ding Shenqi to return to the central government.He Jianjian is a member of the Hu tribe between Yun (Datong City, Shanxi Province) and Shuo (Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province). 4. Song Qiqiu, the left prime minister of the Southern Tang Empire (capital Jinling Mansion), repeatedly asked for real power to be handed over to him, and the Southern Tang Emperor (one Lie Zu) Li Min (Xu Zhigao, fifty-five years old this year) allowed him to join the prime minister's joint office Hall (Zhongshu).Song Qiqiu also asked to be in charge of the State Council (Shangshu Province), and Li Min was relieved of the Supreme Supervision Chief (Servant) Shou Wang Li Jingsui from being in charge of the State Council affairs, and changed to be in charge of the Legislative Yuan (Zhongshu Province) and the Supervision Yuan (Menxia Province), and Song Qiqiu was appointed In charge of the State Department.However, the three courts (provinces) have another supreme supervisor, who is the king of Qi Li Jing (Xu Jingtong), who will make the final decision.

Only a few months after Song Qiqiu's arrival, Xia Changtu, his confidant official, embezzled 3,000 strings of public funds. He was reported and should be executed.Li Min was furious and ordered Xia Changtu to be beheaded.Song Qiqiu had no choice but to claim that he was sick, and asked to be relieved of the affairs of the State Council (dismissal), and Li Min approved. 5. The report of the Zhangyi War Zone in the Later Jin Dynasty said: "Chen Yanhui, the battalion manager (Ya Ya), was sent to carry the central amnesty statement to the Hexi War Zone (headquartered in Liangzhou) to convey the central government's morality, and the Hexi General supported Chen Yanhui as the commander of the war zone. "

6. In March, Emperor Min (the third Jingzong) Wang Yanxi named his son Wang Yacheng, king of Changle, the king of Fujian. 7. In the later Jin Dynasty, when Zhang Yanze served as the commander of Zhangyi, he made his own initiative and sent troops to attack the Hu tribe. The whole army was wiped out, so he had to forcibly recruit more than a thousand civilian horses to make up for the loss.When he was transferred back to the central government, he went to Shanzhou (Sanmenxia City, Henan Province) and met the fugitive general Yang Hong. Zhang Yanze cut off Yang Hong's hands and feet, and then his head while he was a little drunk.In addition to these crimes, Wang Zhou, the successor commander of the war zone, also impeached Zhang Yanze for 26 crimes and brutal deeds during his term of office, and more than 5,000 households fled and scattered in the area under his jurisdiction.Since Zhang Yanze went to the capital (the capital of Kaifeng), Shi Jingtang, the later Jin emperor, ignored him because of his military exploits and Zhang Yanze was related to Yang Guangyuan (commander of Pinglu).

In summer, on April 6th, Zheng Yiyi, a senior adviser to the Legislative Yuan (right advising doctor), went to the meeting and said: "Yang Hong was brutally slaughtered and tortured because His Majesty handed over Zhang Shi to Zhang Yanze last year, so that he could achieve his goal. As a result, he was daring, fierce and fearless. No matter what he saw or heard, there was no one who did not grit his teeth and hate him. Only His Majesty was not moved, and he refused to say a word of questioning and reprimand. Good and evil cannot be distinguished, and there is no standard for reward and punishment. The whole country thinks that His Majesty accepts the hundred horses presented by Zhang Yanze, so he indulges him to do whatever he wants. I feel sorry for His Majesty's bad reputation. Please give Zhang Yanze a fair trial to wash away His Majesty's stains." After the memorial was presented, Shi Jingtang put it stay in the palace.Zheng Yiyi is the nephew of Zheng Congxuan (Zheng Congxuan, refer to September 878).

On April 7, Li Tao, Director of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Justice of the State Council (doctor of the Ministry of Punishment) and others gathered in the Prime Minister's Joint Office to seriously discuss Zhang Yanze's crimes. On April 8th, Shi Jingtang issued an order: "Zhang Yanze's official position will be demoted by one rank, and his title will be demoted by one rank. Zhang Shi's father and children will be appointed as officials. Those who escaped from Zhangyi and come back to work, their errands and taxes will be reduced." On April 10th, Li Tao knelt down in front of the palace gate with officials from the two courts (provinces) and the General Procuratorate (Yushitai) to petition: I think Zhang Yanze's punishment is too light, please deliver him for trial according to law.Shi Jingtang summoned Li Tao to explain it face to face. Li Tao held up the wat board respectfully with both hands and knelt in front of the steps with a serious face and a high-pitched voice. " Li Tao said: "Your Majesty promised that Zhang Yanze would not die, and you must not break your word, but where is Fan Yanguang's iron certificate?" , turned around and entered the palace (Shi Jingtang deliberately handed over Fan Yanguang to Yang Guangyuan to kill someone with a knife, and he was seen through at that time, Li Tao asked this question, and stepped on his painful foot). On April 13th, Shi Jingtang ordered Zhang Yanze to be the general of Zuo Longwu (the Third Army of the Forbidden Army). 8. Liu Yan (Liu Yan), the emperor of the Southern Han Empire (the capital of Xingwangfu), was ill. Because his sons Liu Hongdu, King of Qin, and Liu Hongxi, King of Jin, were both arrogant and dissolute, and did whatever they wanted. Wang Fan, the right supreme executive officer of the State Council (You Servant) and the director of the West Academy of the Imperial Palace (and the envoy of the West Imperial Academy), discussed that he planned to send Liu Hongdu as the commander of the Jianwu theater (headquartered in Yongzhou), and Liu Hongxi as the commander of the Ningyuan theater (headquartered in Rongzhou). State) commander, and named Liu Hongchang as the prince.The imperial edict was about to be issued, and it happened that Xiao Yi, the manager of the Chongwen Museum (Chongwen envoy), went to the palace to greet him, and Liu Yan asked for his opinion again.Xiao Yi said: "The crown prince should be the eldest son. If you violate this rule, there will be chaos." Then it stopped. On April 24, Liu Yan passed away (he was 54 years old this year). Liu Yan is articulate, discerning, good at using power and tactics, likes to brag, thinks he is great, and often calls the emperor who established his capital in the Central Plains "Governor of Luozhou".Lingnan (south of Nanling) is a place where treasures and goods gather, so life is extremely luxurious.Liu Yan's palace and golden palace are all decorated with gold, precious jade, pearls, emeralds, etc.And the punishments he used are especially cruel and vicious, such as: pouring water into the nostrils, cutting off the tongue, cutting off the limbs, digging up the flesh and scraping the bones, grilling with charcoal, throwing them into a large pot for cooking, steaming in a bamboo cage, etc. of torture.Sometimes a lot of poisonous snakes are put in the pool, and the prisoners are thrown into it, which is called "water prison".Yang Dongqian, the second-level de facto prime minister, repeatedly dissuaded him, but Liu Yan refused to accept it.In his later years, Liu Yan was even more suspicious and jealous, thinking that intellectuals were planning for their children and grandchildren, and would not be wholeheartedly loyal, so they trusted eunuchs exclusively. Therefore, there were especially many eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty (when Liu Yan first took over the regime, intellectuals were reused, see 9 May 11). Bo Yang said: It is true that intellectuals have plans for their children and grandchildren, but thinking about children and grandchildren does not conflict with allegiance, and they complement each other.Although an eunuch does not have to take care of his descendants, it does not mean that he is loyal.And the most recent time when he was a young eunuch, Liu Yan saw the disaster caused by the eunuch with his own eyes, so he still came to this conclusion!There is such a kind of person in the world, who is persistent in foolishness. Qin Wang Liu Hongdu (23 years old this year) succeeded to the throne (second term) and changed his name to Liu Feng; his younger brother Liu Hongxi served as an assistant minister and changed his reign name to Guangtian (before it was 15 years ago, and then it was the first year of Guangtian); Zunniang Zhao Zhaoyi is the emperor's concubine. 9. The Liao Empire (capital Linhuang Mansion) sent envoys to blame for taking in the fugitive Tuyuhun tribe (northeast of Shanxi Province) in the late Jin Dynasty.Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang was worried and didn't know what to do. On May 16th, Shi Jingtang became ill. On May 22, Shi Jingtang respected the concubine Ms. Liu as the empress dowager.Empress Dowager Liu is Shi Jingtang's concubine. 10. Since the Prime Minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Taibao (the third of the three divisions) Song Qiqiu were exempted from being in charge of the affairs of the State Council, they would no longer enter the court to see him.Emperor Li Min of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent his birthday king Li Jingsui to give condolences and allowed him to guard Hongzhou (Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province). Song Qiqiu came to the court to see him.Li Min drank with Song Qiqiu and was half drunk. Song Qiqiu said: "Your Majesty created the great cause of ZTE (Li Min claimed to be a descendant of the royal family surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty, refer to February 939), it is my strength, why is your majesty Forget!" (It seems that it was Song Qiqiu's idea to forcibly combine Xu Zhigao's original surname Li with the extinct Tang Dynasty royal family surnamed Li.) Li Min angrily said: "At the beginning, you were just a wandering Intellectuals, come to see me (refer to May 1912). Today, you should be satisfied as a Sangong. But you said to others: My mouth looks like Si Goujian’s, like a bird’s beak, and it’s hard to follow me. Sharing happiness (Si Goujian incident, refer to December 263), is there such a thing?" Song Qiqiu said: "I did say this, because when I was a tourist, Your Majesty was only a child. Officer, you can kill me today.” The next day, Li Min wrote a letter to apologize to Song Qiqiu, saying: “You have already known my impetuous personality. How can we hate each other!" On May 25th, Li Min ordered Song Qiqiu to be the commander of the southern theater of the town (headquartered in Hongzhou). 11. Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang was ill in bed.One day, Prime Minister Feng Dao came in alone. Shi Jingtang ordered his youngest son, Shi Chongrui, to come out and kowtow to Feng Dao. side coaching. On June 13th, Shi Jingtang passed away (he was fifty-one years old this year). Feng Dao discussed with Jing Yanguang, the commander of the Tianping War Zone (headquartered in Yunzhou) and the chief inspector of the royal guard's pro-army infantry and cavalry (guardian Ma Budu Yuhou) Jing Yanguang, who believed that the country was so difficult that the old king should preside over the state affairs. So he supported the mayor of Guangjin (Daming County, Hebei Province) special city (Guangjin Yin), and Qi Wangshi Chonggui (29 years old this year) to succeed him.On that day, Shi Chonggui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor (second term).Jing Yanguang thought it was his credit, and since then he entered the decision-making class and forbade the people of the capital to gather and discuss. At first, when Shi Jingtang was seriously ill, Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Hedong theater (headquartered in Taiyuan Prefecture), was summoned to serve in the central government. Shi Chonggui, who was then King of Qi at that time, put him aside, and Liu Zhiyuan held a grudge against Shi Chonggui. On June 15th, Shi Chonggui respected Empress Dowager Liu as the Empress Dowager, and Empress Li (Shi Jingtang's wife) as the Empress Dowager. 12. Fusha King Wang Yanzheng of the Fujian Empire (capital Changlefu) besieged Tingzhou (Changting County, Fujian Province).Emperor Min (the third Jingzong) Wang Yanyi recruited 5,000 troops from Zhangzhou (Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province) and Quanzhou (Quanzhou City, Fujian Province) for reinforcements.He also sent his general Lin Shouliang to Youxi (Southeast Youxikou Town, Nanping City, Fujian Province), and Daming Palace Administrator (Daming Palace Envoy) Huang Jingzhong to Youkou (the place where Youxi River flows into the Minjiang River · Southeast Youxikou Town, Nanping City, Fujian Province) Town), intending to take advantage of the situation to raid Jianzhou (Jianou City, Fujian Province); Huang Shao, the director of money and grain (National Economics Envoy) of the Empire, led 8,000 infantry to support the above-mentioned two armies. 13. In autumn, on July 10, Ms. Liu, Empress Dowager of the Later Jin Dynasty, passed away. 14.

Class teacher.His generals Bao Hongshi and Chen Wang led the fleet to prevent the central forces from pursuing. On July 15th, the two armies met in Youkou. Before the battle, General Huang Jingzhong of the Central Army was warned by the sorcerer that the time had not come. , killed and captured 2,000 people; Lin Shouliang and Huang Shaopo fled back. 15. On July 18th, the Later Jin amnesty. On July 21, Shi Chonggui, the second emperor of the later Jin Dynasty, promoted Jing Yanguang to be the second-level real prime minister, and also the commander-in-chief of the infantry and cavalry of the royal guards (and the commander of the guards and horses). Senior officials in the government are in favor of reinstating the post of Commander of the Imperial General Staff (Privy Envoy) (revocation, see April last year).Prime Minister Feng Dao and others submitted memorials three times in a row, requesting that the relevant military part of the prime minister's post be assigned to the General Staff Headquarters (Privy Council), but Shi Chonggui did not allow it. 16. In Boluo County of the Southern Han Dynasty (Boluo County, Guangdong Province), a god came to the people's house. He could talk to people, but people couldn't see him.Zhang Yuxian, a small clerk of the county government, believed in it very devoutly.At this time, Xunzhou (Longchuan County, Guangdong Province) was full of mutinies (Boluo County belongs to Xunzhou), and there was no unified command. The leaders of the mutinies prayed to the gods for instructions. ” So, everyone supported Zhang Yuxian together, called him the eighth king of Zhongtian, changed his reign name to Yongle, set up civil and military officials, and plundered and attacked the coastal areas.However, Zhang Yuxian was too young and had no strategy, the generals only reported to him when they entered and left. Emperor Liu Hongdu (Liu Bing) of the Southern Han Dynasty ordered Yue Wang Liu Hongchang to be the commander-in-chief (dutong), and Xun Wang Liu Honggao to be the deputy commander-in-chief. He led the army to attack Zhang Yuxian. In defeat, the two princes were besieged by the mutiny, and the commander (commander) Chen Daoxiang and others fought hard to rescue them.Most of the eastern states and counties were captured by Zhang Yuxian.Chen Daoxiang was born in Duanzhou (Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province). 17. Gao Xingzhou, the general of the Central Army of the Later Jin Dynasty, besieged Xiangzhou (Xiangfan City, Hubei Province) for nearly a year (An Cong rebelled, Gao Xingzhou crusaded, refer to November last year), but he could not conquer, and the food in the city had been eaten.Wang Qing, a native of Quzhou (northeast of Quzhou County, Hebei Province), the Chief Prosecutor of the Fengguo Army (du Yuhou of the Fengguo Army), suggested to Gao Xingzhou: "The bandits in the city are on the brink of death, but our army's morale is exhausted and weak. , the people’s financial resources and physical strength are even more exhausted, if you don’t apply pressure early, what are you waiting for?” So he asked the commander-in-chief of the Fengguo Army (commander of Fengguodu) Yuancheng (the county where the Guangjin Prefecture of Yedu is located · Daming County, Hebei Province) Liu Ci led the army to climb the city wall first. In August, the central army captured Xiangzhou.The leader of the rebel army, An Congjin, set fire to himself and killed himself.

The Fujian government minted "Yonglong Tongbao" large iron coins, and a large iron coin was used as one hundred lead coins (the lead coins were cast in Fujian, refer to December 1916). 19. In the Southern Han Dynasty, the former emperor Liu Yan was buried in Kangling (located in the north of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), with the posthumous title of Tianhuang Dadi and the temple name of Gaozu. 20. Since Li Min, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, became the prime minister of Southern Wu, he has promoted the advantages and eliminated the disadvantages, abolished or deleted a large number of old laws, and established new laws (Li Min became the prime minister in April 1919).Later, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and ordered relevant judicial officials and the State Council (Shangshu) to compile 30 volumes of "The Complete Book of Shengyuan Laws" ("Shengyuan Articles") (Shengyuan is the year name of the Southern Tang Dynasty). On September 9, Li Min issued an edict to implement it. 21. Emperor Yanxi of Fujian ordered Yu Tingying, a prime minister and waiting official (Southeast Houguan City, Minhou County, Fujian Province), to be the governor of Quanzhou.Yu Tingying corrupted the law and plundered women from the people. He claimed that he had received an imperial edict to teach him to choose beauties and prepare to send them to the palace.The matter was reported, and Wang Yanxi sent a supervisor (censor) to investigate and interrogate.Yu Tingying was terrified and rushed back to the capital Changlefu (Fuzhou City, Fujian Province) to surrender. Wang Yanxi checked him face to face, severely reprimanded him, and planned to hand him over for trial.After Yu Tingying withdrew, he presented 10,000 strings of "banquet money". Wang Yanxi was very happy. The next day, he summoned Yu Tingying and said to him, "The banquet has been bought. Where are the things you paid for the queen?" Offer big money.Wang Yanxi ordered Yu Tingying to return to Quanzhou as governor.Since then, all the states have paid tribute to the queen separately.Soon, Wang Yanxi called Yu Tingying back to Beijing (the capital Changle Mansion) and ordered him to resume his post as prime minister. 22. In winter, on October 26, Zhang Yuxian, the leader of the Southern Han Dynasty's rebels, captured Xunzhou and beheaded Liu Chuan, the governor. 23. Ma Xifan (the third King Wenzhao) of the Kingdom of Southern Chu (the capital of Changsha) built Tiance Mansion. The beams and pillars of the houses are luxurious, and the window frames, doors, railings and escalators are all made of gold. Bi jade decoration; only the cinnabar on the wall consumes hundreds of thousands of catties.Spring and summer carpets are woven with fine bamboo chips, while autumn and winter carpets are woven with kapok.Ma Xifan often played and feasted there with his children and subordinates (the later Jin government named Ma Xifan the general of the day, refer to May 7, 1939). 24. On November 10, the later Jin government buried the former emperor Shi Jingtang in Xianling (located in the northwest of Yiyang County, Henan Province), posthumously titled Shengwen Wuming, Emperor Xiaode, and temple named Gaozu. Previously, the governors of the states in the north and south of the Yellow River each sold sea salt, earning 170,000 yuan a year; they distributed it to the folk "silkworm salt" (salt was lent to the folk in advance in spring, and the salt price was levied in summer) to collect cash from the folk.Officials who care about the suffering of the people pointed out that there are too many people who have been sentenced to crimes for selling illegal salt. It is better to abolish the monopoly system and let the people buy and sell it themselves. salt money").Shi Jingtang approved.So, in an instant, the price of salt fell, and it only sold for ten yuan per catty. Now, Dong Yu, the management director of the three central financial units (the third envoy), intends to increase the treasury surplus, but it is difficult to change Shi Jingtang's decision for a while, so he increases the tax amount for salt merchants: the road tax is 7 yuan per catty, and the retail tax is 10 yuan per catty. .Salt merchants could not afford it and almost disappeared, so the government had to restore the old monopoly system, but the "salt money" still had to be paid (the salt monopoly system was established in the Tang Dynasty, refer to July 780). 25. Li Renyu, Director of Min State Salt and Iron Monopoly and Transportation (Salt and Iron Envoy), the Right Supreme Executive of the State Council (You Servant), Li Renyu, is the son of Li Min (Li Min, the father of the second Emperor Kangzong Wang Jipeng) , is the nephew of Wang Yanxi, the current emperor of Fujian (the third Jingzong). He is young and beautiful, and is very much loved by Wang Yanxi. In December, Wang Yanxi ordered Li Renyu to be the highest executive of the State Council (Zuo Pushe) and deputy legislator (also the Minister of Zhongshu), and appointed the royal literary attendant (Hallin Bachelor), the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council (the Minister of the Ministry of Officials) ) Li Guangzhun served as Deputy Legislative Chief (Zhongshu Shilang) and Minister of Finance of the State Council (also Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs), and both served as second-level real prime ministers. Wang Yanxi was extravagant and licentious. Once at a banquet at night, Li Guangzhun was drunk and his words did not meet Wang Yanxi's wishes. Wang Yanxi was furious and ordered him to be tied up in the market and beheaded.The next day, Wang Yanxi went to the palace to preside over the court meeting and taught Li Guangzhun to reset.That night, another banquet was held in the palace, and Zhou Weiyue, the royal literary attendant (Hanlin bachelor), was arrested and thrown into prison.The guard sorted out an empty bed to entertain, and said: "Li Xiangye lived here last night, the Minister (Shangshu) don't have to worry!" After Wang Yanxi sobered up, he was released.On another day, Wang Yanxi held a banquet in the palace again. All the officials serving on the left and right were drunk and left the banquet. Only Zhou Weiyue was still there. Wang Yanxi asked: "Zhou Weiyue is short in stature, why does he drink so much?" Some people on the left and right said: "After drinking wine, it flows into another special wine sausage, so you don't have to be tall." Wang Yanxi was very happy, and ordered the warrior to grab Zhou Weiyue and fall down the steps, intending to cut open his stomach and examine the special wine sausage , someone nearby said: "Kill Zhou Weiyue, and no one will drink with His Majesty in the future!" Wang Yanxi agreed and spared Zhou Weiyue's life. 26. When Emperor Shi Chonggui of the Later Jin Dynasty first came to the throne, high-level officials discussed how to express condolences to the emperor of the Liao Empire (the second Taizong) Yelu Deguang (41 years old this year), and Jing Yanguang suggested that there is no need to use memorials , as long as you write a letter, and only called "Sun", not "Chen".Li Song objected, saying: "It is not shameful to wrong yourself for the sake of the country. If your majesty refuses to be wronged, you will end up wearing an iron helmet and armor to fight against Liao. By then, it will be too late to regret." Jing Yanguang insisted strongly, but Feng Dao had no idea and was ambiguous. In the end, Shi Chonggui accepted Jing Yanguang's suggestion.Yelu Deguang was furious, and sent an envoy to reprimand him, and asked, "Why did you succeed to the throne without first reporting it?" Jing Yanguang wrote a letter in reply, speaking arrogantly. Zhao Yanshou (Liu Yanshou), the commander of the Lulong War Zone (headquartered in Youzhou) of the Liao Kingdom, tried to squeeze Shi Chonggui out and succeed him as emperor. 1. In spring, on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, Meng Chang (Meng Renzan, 25 years old), the emperor (second term) of the Later Shu Empire (the capital of Chengdu), ordered the director of court affairs (Xuanhui envoy) and the manager of the imperial garden The official (and palace envoy) Tian Jingquanyao is also the commander (Jiedu envoy) of the Yongping theater (headquartered in Yazhou).Tian Jingquan is an eunuch.Meng Chang cited the previous example of Wang Chengxiu, a eunuch in the former Shu Empire, as the commander of a war zone (refer to December 1924) for this appointment.The national crowd criticized. . 2. Emperor Shi Chonggui (30 years old) of the Later Jin Empire (capital Kaifeng Mansion) heard the news that the Liao Empire (capital Linhuang Mansion) was going to take military action and took contingency measures. On February 11th, Shi Chonggui set off from Yedu (Guangjin Prefecture · Daming County, Hebei Province) and returned south. On February 17th, Shi Chonggui arrived in Tokyo (capital Kaifeng Prefecture).However, they continued to keep in touch with the Liao Kingdom, and the envoys of the two sides continued to communicate without any pause. 3. Li Jingda, king of Xuancheng in the Southern Tang Empire (the capital of Jinling Mansion), has a strong and cheerful personality. The Southern Tang Emperor (one Lie Zu) Li Min (Xu Zhigao, fifty-six years old this year) loves him very much and has repeatedly wanted to appoint him as his successor Prime Minister Song Qiqiu also praised his talent very much, but because Li Jing (Xu Jingtong), the king of Qi, was the eldest son, Li Min considered it again and again, and finally gave up this idea.Li Jing hated Song Qiqiu for this reason. The mother of Li Min's youngest son, Li Jingfu (pronounced ti), is Mrs. Zhong, who is most favored by Li Min. The mother of the eldest son, Qi Wang Li Jing, is the mother of Queen Song, but it is difficult to see Li Min.Li Min suddenly went to Li Jing's palace one day, and happened to meet Li Jing playing an instrument there. Li Min was furious and scolded him for several days.Ms. Zhong seized the opportunity and suggested: "Although Jing Bu is young, he is smart and wise, and he can be your heir." , how can a woman interfere!" Immediately sent out of the palace to remarry. Li Min once dreamed of swallowing an elixir. The next day, the magician Shi Shouchong presented the secret recipe. Li Min thought it was arranged by God and started taking it. As a result, his body became hot and his temper gradually became severe.The left and right officials dissuaded him, but Li Min refused to accept it.Li Min once gave the medicine to Prime Minister Li Jianxun to try it out. Li Jianxun reported, "After taking it for a few days, I felt my tongue was dry and my lips were cracked, let alone taking so much!" Li Min said, "I have been taking it for a long time." Civil and military officials report state affairs, which often arouses Li Min's fury.But if someone argues with reason, Li Min can also withdraw his displeasure, apologize to that person, and accept his suggestion. Li Min once asked Taoist Wang Qixia for advice, and asked: "What method can be used to unify the country and make the world peaceful?" Wang Qixia replied: "Leaders should first govern their minds, then their bodies, and then they can govern their families and the country. , Your Majesty is still at the stage of being angry when you are hungry, and happy when you are full of food and clothing, talking about national unity and peace in the world!" Empress Song admired behind the curtain, thinking it was the most reasonable saying.Wang Qixia refused to accept all Li Min's gifts and rewards.Wang Qixia once presented God's memorial for someone to be cremated. Li Min planned to build a high platform for him as an altar for the cremation memorial. Wang Qixia declined and said: "The country's finances are in trouble. How can I have spare money to do this? Wait until the memorial is ignited and cannot be burned. Please help your majesty again!" (Taoists believe that after the incantation, cremation presents the memorial to God, which can directly reach God's desk.) Director of Animal Husbandry (Doctor of the Driving Department) of the Ministry of National Defense of the State Council Feng Yansi is the confidential secretary (secretary) of Marshal Mansion of King Qi (Li Jing). Deputy Envoy) Chen Jue formed a small circle.For colleagues with higher positions than himself, Feng Yansi used tricks to drive them away.Feng Yansi once joked to Sun Sheng, the deputy legislator (zhongshu assistant minister), "what ability do you have to be the deputy legislator?" Scholar (Sun Sheng is from Gaomi, Mizhou, persuaded Zhu Shouyin, the commander of Xuanwu, to mutiny, and fled to Southern Wu after failing. Refer to October 1927), his articles are not as good as yours (Feng Yansi was a famous poet in the middle of the tenth century and five dynasties), and he talked and laughed happily Not as good as you, flattering horses and wagging tails is not as good as you, however, the leader (Li Min) sent you to make friends with King Qi, hoping that you would help him with kindness and righteousness, and did not want you to be a sensual and sensual friend! I am certainly not talented, but you I am afraid that his talents can only bring great disaster to the empire." Feng Yansi is from Shezhou (She County, Anhui Province) (鲁, sound she). Another man named Wei Cen also served in the palace of King Qi.The former imperial supervisor (in the matter) Chang Mengxi repeatedly accused Chen Jue, Feng Yansi, Wei Cen, etc., of being treacherous and evil villains, and should not be sent to the Taiwo.Xiao Yanshangshu, director of the Checkpoint Inspection Department of the Ministry of Justice of the State Council (Simen Langzhong) and in charge of Supreme Court affairs (judging Dali Temple), reported Chen Jue and others as treacherous and evil, corrupting the government.Li Min also came to his senses, but it was too late to send them off.At this time, a malignant sore developed on Li Min's back, but he kept it strictly secret and did not let outsiders know about it. He only asked the imperial doctor (emperor doctor) for treatment secretly, and presided over the morning court as usual. On February 22, Li Min's condition worsened. The imperial doctor Wu Tingshao sent his cronies to summon Qi Wang Li Jing to serve in the palace. Li Min said to Li Jing: "The reason why I eat mineral Taoist elixir is to prolong life. Unexpectedly, it hurts my body even more. , you should take it as a warning!" That night, he passed away (he was fifty-six years old this year).Li Jing kept the secret and did not disclose it to the outside world. He only announced the imperial edict issued in the name of his father, saying: "Order the king of Qi to supervise the state affairs and give amnesty." Sun Sheng was afraid that Feng Yansi and others would gain power and planned to forge the edict and order the Empress of Song Dynasty to come to court. Li Yiye, a royal literary attendant (academic scholar), said: "The former emperor once said: 'Women's interference in politics is the root of chaos.' The culprit, this must be a deceitful trick to manipulate evil villains. Moreover, the crown prince is old enough (this year, Li Jing is 28 years old), has noble morals, and is well-known far and wide. How can you say such words of subjugation? If you announce I will definitely tear up the imperial edict of the empress dowager in front of all civil and military officials." Sun Sheng was afraid of a dispute, so he stopped.Li Yiye is the great-great-grandson of Li Wei (Li Wei, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at the end of the ninth century, refer to June 875). On February 28th, Li Jing announced the edict of his father's first emperor (Liezu) Li Min.In his later years, Li Min's temperament became irritable, and he influenced some close officials, and many of them were punished.Chen Jue claimed to be sick, and often did not enter the palace for several months. He did not come forward until Li Min passed away and the edict was announced.Xiao Yan Shangshu impeached and said: "Chen Jue hid in his home well and waited for the death of the late emperor wholeheartedly. Please punish him according to his crime." Li Jing refused. Since Li Min became the prime minister of the Southern Wu Empire, he prohibited the sale of children from good families as slaves or maidservants, and stipulated that anyone who bought slaves and maidservants had to submit the contract project to the government for approval.Now, Feng Yansi and his younger brother, Feng Yanlu, deputy director of the Education Department of the Ministry of Education of the State Council (wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites), both work in the Marshal's Mansion. When writing the draft of the will, they added "allowing the people to freely buy and sell their children" for the purpose of buying young beauty for themselves woman as a concubine.Xiao Yan retorted: "This must be a scandalous thing done by Feng Yansi and others. It is definitely not the order of the late emperor (Li Min) before his death. In the past, Feng Yanlu was the executive officer of the left-behind official's office in the Eastern Capital (Jiangdu Prefecture·Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). The judge) once made suggestions on this matter. The late emperor asked my opinion, and I replied: "When your majesty was the prime minister of Southern Wu, there were people who sold their children, and the prime minister's office took money to redeem the poor children." , and return them to their parents, so no matter how far or near they are, they will return to His Majesty. Now he is enthroned and proclaimed emperor, but his behavior is just the opposite. How can it be possible to make the children of the poor to be driven by the rich?" The late emperor agreed with me and wanted to convict Feng Yanlu. I I thought Feng Yanlu was just a fool and not worthy of blame. The late emperor sealed Feng Yanlu's memorial obliquely, wiped it three times, and brought it back to the palace. I ask His Majesty to check it in the palace, and the memorial must still be there." Li Jing I ordered to find out the memorials that my father had shelved. There were more than a thousand pieces in total, all of which were obliquely sealed.However, because the edict had already been promulgated, it was not amended. 4. Fusha King Wang Yanzheng of the Fujian Empire (the capital of Changle Prefecture) ascended the throne in Jianzhou (Jianou City, Fujian Province) and proclaimed himself emperor. first year).Yongzhou was established in Jiangle County (Jiangle County, Fujian Province), and Tanzhou (镡, sound tan) was established in Yanping Town (Nanping City, Fujian Province).Ms. Zhang will be the queen.Pan Chengyou, a military executive (Jiedu judge), was appointed Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials), and Yang Sigong, a war zone inspector (Jiedu inspector) from Jianyang (Jianyang City, Fujian Province), was appointed Minister of Defense of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of War).Not long after, Pan Chengyou was promoted to be the second-level real prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi), and Yang Sigong was promoted to be the chief executive of the State Council (Pu She), who was in charge of the imperial military administration (Recording Military and State Affairs). Wearing the ocher dragon robe worn by the emperor, Wang Yanzheng went to the palace to handle official duties.However, in ordinary days, subordinates will pay homage and receive envoys from neighboring countries, and they still use the etiquette of the commander of the theater. The land of Yin is small and the people are poor, but there are constant wars.Yang Sigong was favored and trusted because of his violent expropriation and plundering from the people.He increased taxes on forests, fields, rivers and aquatic products, and even doubled the taxes on fish, salt, fruits, and vegetables.The people of Yin State gave him a nickname: Yang Bopi. 5. On March 1, the Later Jin government transferred the Supreme Legislative Chief (Zhongshu Ling) Zhao Ying to be the commander of the Jinchang War Zone (headquartered in Jingzhao Mansion), and also the Supreme Legislative Chief (also Zhongshuling and Envoy).Sang Weihan, the commander of the Jinchang theater, and the supreme supervisor (and minister and envoy), returned to the central government to serve as the supreme supervisor (servant). 6. Li Jing, the king of Qi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor (the second Yuanzong), issued an edict of amnesty, and changed his reign name to Baoda (the first year was the seventh year of Shengyuan, and then the first year of Baoda).The librarian of the Royal Library (Secretary Lang Cong Liupinshang) Han Xizai asked to follow the ancient rules and change the year name next year (944), but Li Jing refused (historically there was a debate on whether it should start in the new year) It was only after the change of the reign title that it caused the killing, refer to June 355), the Empress of Song Dynasty was named Empress Dowager, and the concubine of Qi, Ms. Zhong, was named Empress. Although Li Jing was enthroned, he had not officially come to the Jinluan Palace to preside over the government, but Feng Yansi, the confidential secretary (secretary in charge) of the Qi Palace, kept going to the palace to ask him for instructions, as many as four times a day.李璟说：“机要秘书有固定的工作职责，你怎么这么烦！” 李璟为人谦虚拘谨，刚登上宝座，对高阶层官员从不直接呼唤他们的名字，而且时常接见他们讨论国家大事。李建勋对人说：“领袖忠厚仁爱、胸襟宽大，都超过先帝。但性格还没有稳定，假如身旁没有正直君子帮助，恐怕难以守住先帝的基业。” 李璟调镇南战区（总部设洪州）司令官宋齐丘返京（首都金陵府）当太保（三师之三）兼最高立法长（兼中书令）；调奉化战区（总部设江州）司令官周宗返京当最尚监督长（侍中）。李璟因为宋齐丘、周宗都是老爹时代的元勋旧部，有很高的声望，所以顺应大家的期许，调回京城出任宰相，但国家政务仍由自己决定。 把寿王李景遂改封燕王，宣城王李景达改封鄂王。 当初，李璟尚是齐王，充任三级实质宰相（知政事）的时候，每有什么过失，幕僚常梦锡总是坦率劝导，李璟虽然还有点恼羞成怒，但最后仍是念及他的正直，对他很是尊敬。李璟登基后，应许常梦锡当皇家文学侍从官，可是宋齐丘那一党却讨厌他，指控他擅自批驳诏书，贬出当池州（安徽省贵池市）执行官（判官）。 当时，池州有很多从中央贬逐到那里的官员，当地人称为“迁客”，宁国战区（总部设宣州。池州属宁国战区）司令官上蔡（河南省上蔡县）人王彦俦，对他们防守得十分严密，甚至苛刻到使他们无法生活的地步，只有对常梦锡，像仍在中央一样，十分敬重。 *Hu Sanxing said: 王彦俦岂是真正了解常梦锡的人？只因为他在李璟当齐王时，便当李璟的部属，而贬逐又不是他犯了罪，可预见到他必然仍会被召回中央再任官职，所以敬重而已。 宋齐丘待陈觉一向优厚，李璟也觉得陈觉很有才干，所以对他非常信任。其他像冯延巳、冯延鲁、魏岑，虽然是齐王府旧日幕僚，但都攀附新进的陈觉，结合休宁（安徽省休宁县）人查文徽，互相推荐吹嘘，破坏政府法令规章，文武百官给他们一个绰号：五鬼。冯延鲁自国务院教育部教育司副司长（礼部员外郎）升迁到立法院（中书省）当立法官（中书舍人），兼勤政殿文学侍从官（勤政殿学士）。江州道（首府设江州）行政长官（观察使）杜昌业听到消息，叹息道：“政府所以能支配文武官员，文武官员所以愿意接受政府支配，在于官职和爵位的运作。如果只要一句话说得合皇上的意，就一下子擢升到显要的地位。那么，以后有功的人，用什么赏赐？”不久，李璟命魏岑跟查文徽同时出任帝国参谋总部副指挥官（枢密副使）。魏岑既然手握权柄，志满气盈，正巧陈觉的娘亲逝世，辞职回家守丧，魏岑抓住这个机会，开始宣扬陈觉的恶行，竭力排斥。 南唐政府在濠州（安徽省凤阳县东北临淮关）设定远战区。 7、南汉帝国（首都兴王府）皇帝（二任）刘弘度（刘玢）骄傲奢侈，不可一世，从不过问国家大事。老爹一任帝（高祖）刘岩（刘）的灵柩还没有下葬，刘弘度就演奏音乐、欢乐饮酒；到了夜晚，还改穿平民衣裳，跟娼妓在一块厮混，教青年男女脱得赤条条的做爱，而由他在一旁津津有味地仔细观看。左右侍从人员有违背他意思的，一律诛杀，所以，没有人敢进言规劝。只有越王刘弘昌跟宦官总管府秘书长（内常侍）番禺（首都兴王府所在县·广东省广州市）人吴怀恩屡次劝阻，刘弘度完全不理，而且对他的一些老弟十分猜忌，每次举行宴会，都命宦官守卫宫门，文武百官跟皇亲国戚都得脱下所有衣服，确定没有携带任何武器后，才准进去。晋王刘弘熙打算发动政变，于是呈献大量歌舞女郎，博取刘弘度的喜悦，同时助长刘弘度的罪恶。刘弘度喜爱比赛摔跤，刘弘熙命指挥官（指挥使）陈道庠介绍大力士刘思潮、谭令禋、林少强、林少良、何昌廷等五人，到晋王府练习这项运动。刘弘度听到消息，大为高兴。 三月八日，刘弘度跟亲王们在长春宫摆设宴席，看大力士们摔跤，直到当天晚上，宴会才结束，刘弘度酩酊大醉。刘弘熙命陈道庠、刘思潮等架住刘弘度的双臂，猛击他的咽喉和前胸，当场格毙（本年二十四岁），然后屠杀他左右全体侍从。 第二天（三月九日）早晨，文武百官跟所有亲王都不敢进宫，越王刘弘昌率全体老弟到寝殿集合，迎接刘弘熙（本年二十四岁）登基称帝（三任中宗），改名刘晟（我们仍称他刘弘熙），改年号应乾（之前是光天二年，之后是应乾元年）。任命刘弘昌当太尉（三公之一）兼最高立法长（兼中书令）、全国各战区道兵马总元帅（诸道兵马都元帅）、三级实质宰相（知政事）；命循王刘弘杲当副元帅、三级实质宰相（参预政事）。陈道庠跟刘思潮等都受很重的赏赐。 8、闽帝国皇帝（三任景宗）王延羲（王曦）娶首都警卫司令（金吾使）尚保殷的女儿，封作贤妃。尚贤妃美丽绝伦，王延羲爱她入迷，当他喝醉的时候，尚贤妃想杀谁他就杀谁，想赦谁他就赦谁。 9、夏季，四月一日，日食。 10、南唐政府命副立法长（中书侍郎）、二级实质宰相（同平章事）李建勋当昭武战区司令官，总部设抚州（江西省临川市）。 11、殷国将领陈望等进攻闽国首都福州，进入西城外郭，但接着被击败退回。 五月，殷国国务院文官部长（吏部尚书）、二级实质宰相潘承祐上疏，就十项大事提出警告，他说：“兄弟之间互相攻战，伤天害理，此其一。政府对国民搜刮惨苛，征调民夫差役，毫无节制，此其二。强迫国民当兵，暴露荒野，愁怨交集，此其三。杨思恭（杨剥皮）掠夺人民的衣服粮食，使民愤指向皇上，文武百官没有人敢说一句话，此其四。国土狭小，却大量设置州县，增加官员数目，使人民更加穷困，此其五。现在，更抢修道路，运送军粮，将要攻击汀州（福建省长汀县），却不考虑南唐、吴越（首都杭州）乘虚奇袭，此其六。搜刮富户的钱财，钱多的给他官做，拖欠的受到惩罚，此其七。延平（福建省南平市）的几个渡口，强征水果、鱼虾、蔬菜、稻米的捐税，收入很少，制造的怨恨却大，此其八。跟南唐、吴越接壤相邻，陛下登基以来，从不曾派出一个使节，此其九。宫殿楼台，豪华奢侈，将浪费罄尽国家财富，此其十。”王延政大怒，下诏免除潘承祐所有官职，严令他返回自己私宅。 12、南汉帝（三任中宗）刘弘熙（刘晟）登基后，国内官民议论纷纷，谣言沸腾。循王刘弘杲建议斩刘思潮等，以平息人心不安，刘弘熙不接受。刘思潮等得到消息，遂暗中诬告刘弘杲阴谋背叛，刘弘熙命刘思潮等侦察。有一天，刘弘杲正在家里大宴宾客，刘思潮跟谭令禋率卫兵突袭，斩刘弘杲。于是，刘弘熙计划杀光他所有的老弟，尤其是越王刘弘昌，贤明干练，深受拥护，更使他疑惧（刘弘昌几乎夺嫡，参考去年四月）。 建武战区（总部设邕州）司令官齐王刘弘弼，因为身居全国最大军事重镇，恐怕招来灾祸，请求辞职回京（首都兴王府）；刘弘熙允许。 13、当初，闽帝王延羲未登基前，有一次，参加前任帝（二任）王继鹏（王昶）的宴会，正巧新罗王国（首都金城）使节呈献宝剑，王继鹏举起来给宰相王倓鉴赏，说：“这宝剑用到谁身上？”王倓说：“用到当臣属不忠的人身上。”当时王延羲已在阴谋夺取政权，心里一惊，脸色大变。现在，在宫中正大宴文武百官，恰巧又有人呈献宝剑，王延羲忽然想起当年那一幕，下令挖出王倓的棺材，砍下尸体上的头颅。皇家图书院校勘官（校书郎·正九品上）陈光逸对他的朋友说：“领袖荒淫无道，国家眼看就要灭亡，我将用我的生命激发领袖省悟。”他的朋友劝止他，他不接受，上疏抨击王延羲五十大恶，王延羲暴跳如雷，命卫士痛打陈光逸几百皮鞭，还没有打死，又用绳索拴住陈光逸的脖子，吊到大庭树上，吊了很久才气绝。 14、秋季，七月十三日，后晋帝国皇帝石重贵下诏说：因年景饥荒，国家经费不够开支，所以派出六十余位特使，分别前往各战区道强行搜刮民间米、麦、杂粮。 15、吴越王（三任忠献王）钱弘佐（本年十五岁）登基不久，禁军前卫司令（上统军使）阚璠（音kan fan），性情蛮横暴戾，排斥所有他不喜欢的人，钱弘佐对他不能约束；内营最高辅导官（内牙上都监使）章德安屡次跟阚瑶争辩，而右卫最高辅导官（右都监使）李文庆，也不肯攀附阚璠。 七月二十九日，钱弘佐下令贬章德安到处州（浙江省丽水市）、贬李文庆到睦州（浙江省建德市）。于是，阚璠跟右翼禁军司令（右统军使）胡进思越发专权蛮横。阚璠，是明州（浙江省宁波市）人。李文庆，是睦州人。胡进思，是湖州（浙江省湖州市）人。 16、南唐帝（二任元宗）李璟遵照老爹李昪的意思，命天雄战区（总部设广晋府）司令官（空头官衔。此时广晋府属后晋）、兼最高立法长（兼中书令）、又兼首都金陵（江苏省南京市）特别市市长（金陵尹）的燕王李景遂当全国各战区道兵马元帅（诸道兵马元帅），改封齐王，住入东宫（太子宫）；又命天平战区（总部设郓州）司令官（空头官衔。此时郓州属后晋）、暂任最高监督长（守侍中·使相）、东京（江都府·江苏省扬州市）留守长官鄂王李景达出任副元帅，改封燕王。向中央及地方广为宣布，承诺把皇帝宝座依照长幼的次序传递——兄终弟及；并封长子李弘冀当南昌王。李景遂、李景达坚决辞让，李璟不准。李景遂自行向天发誓，绝不敢充当储君，并把自己的别号改称退身。 17、南汉指挥官（指挥使）万景忻在循州（广东省龙川县）击败变民首领张遇贤（张遇贤聚众起兵，参考去年七月）。张遇贤向神仙祷告，神仙指示说：“攻取虔州（江西省赣州市。此时虔州属南唐），大事就可以成功。”张遇贤遂率领部众，越过南岭北进，直向虔州。南唐百胜战区（总部设虔州）司令官贾匡浩没有戒备，张遇贤变民部众十余万人，一连攻陷各县，击败虔州州政府军队，虔州城门白天都得关闭。张遇贤在白云洞（江西省于都县西）兴建皇宫宝殿，设立政府机关，派将领到处剽掠抢夺。贾匡浩，是贾公铎的儿子（贾公铎是蕲州大将，参考八九六年五月）。 18、八月九日，南唐帝李璟封老弟李景逷当保宁王。李璟的娘亲宋太后，十分怨恨种夫人（企图为儿子李景逷夺嫡，参考本年二月），打算谋害李景逷，李璟对这位老弟竭力保全。 19、后晋夏州内营指挥官（牙内指挥使）拓跋崇斌发动兵变，绥州（陕西省竣德县）州长李彝敏打算出军相助，消息走漏。 八月二十五日，李彝敏放弃绥州，会同他的老弟李彝俊等五人，逃奔延州（彰武战区总部·陕西省延安市）。 九月，后晋帝石重贵尊称娘亲、秦国夫人安女士为皇太妃。安太妃，是代北（山西省北部）人。石重贵对伯母李太后和亲母安太妃都十分孝顺，常陪同她们进餐，待老弟也十分友爱（石敬瑭共七个儿子，现在只剩下石重睿；侄儿也只石重贵一人出现史册）。 最初，河阳（总部孟州）营门官（牙将）乔荣，在九三六年大变乱中当赵延寿（刘延寿）的部属，一同被裹胁到辽国，辽国政府任命他当贸易官（回图使），来往两国，在大梁（河南省开封市）设置贸易局。后来，辽国跟后晋发生摩擦，后晋宰相景延广说服石重贵逮捕乔荣，投入监狱羁押，而把贸易局仓库里所储存的货物全部没收。在景延广的坚持下，石重贵下令搜捕所有在后晋境内做生意的辽国商人，全部诛杀，夺取他们的财货。高阶层官员一致认为：辽国对后晋恩重如山，不可以辜负。 九月十三日，后晋政府释放乔荣，慰问解释，又给予赏赐，送他回国。乔荣晋见景延广辞行，景延广态度傲慢，说：“回去告诉你的主子，先帝（石敬瑭）是辽国拥上宝座，所以向辽国上疏称臣，当今皇上（石重贵）是我国自己拥上宝座，但仍然向辽国采低姿态，也正是不忘先帝当年所定盟约的缘故。身为邻国，甘愿称'孙'，已经够了，没有称'臣'的道理。辽国皇帝（二任耶律德光）不要相信赵延寿的谎言，轻率地欺侮我国。我国的武装部队，你亲眼看到，老头子（耶律德光）如果生气，就请他南下，决一死战，孙儿有十万横磨剑（为什么叫“横磨剑”？不知道，应是十世纪时民间口语，可能指开好口的剑而言），在这里等候大驾。有一天被孙儿打败，让天下人耻笑，可别后悔！”乔荣因为丧失所有资产，恐怕回国后受到惩罚，而且也为了留下凭据，作为将来对证，于是请求道：“宰相大人的训示，内容丰富，我恐怕不能全记，是不是可以写在纸上！”景延广命文书官员记下他的话交给乔荣。乔荣奏报辽帝耶律德光，耶律德光气得发疯，决定对后晋发动攻击。后晋派往辽国的使节，辽国一一逮捕，囚禁幽州（北京市），不准他们晋见。 后晋宰相桑维翰不断警告石重贵，应该用谦卑的言辞，向辽国道歉，请求原谅，但都被景延广阻止。石重贵因景延广有拥戴他继承宝座的功劳，所以对他的宠爱和信任超过其他宰相，而景延广又总管皇家禁卫大军，所以其他高阶层人士不敢跟他争辩。河东战区（总部设太原府）司令官刘知远，知道景延广一定会招致敌人进攻，但畏惧他正受石重贵的宠爱，权势鼎盛，也不敢出口，（胡三省注：“刘知远不仅仅不敢出口，也是因为怨恨石重贵而不愿开口，而只坐在那里观察谁胜谁败，从中取利。”）只是扩大招兵买马，上疏请准设置兴捷、武节等十余个军，防备辽国。 九月十九日，定难战区司令官李彝殷奏报李彝敏叛乱情形，后晋帝石重贵下诏把李彝敏押到夏州，斩首。 20、冬季，十月三日，后晋帝石重贵娶婶娘、吴国夫人冯女士当皇后。 最初，一任帝石敬瑭深爱幼弟石重胤，遂养作自己的儿子。后来，石敬瑭当邺都（河北省大名县）留守长官（参考九二八年四月），命石重胤娶副留守长官、安喜（定州州政府所在县·河北省定州市）人冯濛的女儿为妻。婚后不久，石重胤逝世，冯女士成了寡妇，容貌娇艳，石重贵看见，大为爱慕。石敬瑭逝世后，灵柩还放在祭堂，石重贵已经跟她上床。文武百官都致词祝贺，石重贵对宰相冯道等说：“奉皇太后的命令结婚，你们面前，不应该太热闹！”文武百官退出后，石重贵跟冯皇后在一起饮酒，经过石敬瑭灵柩前面，把酒浇一点到地上，向灵柩致词说：“奉皇太后命令结婚，陛下面前，不应该太热闹！”左右侍从都笑出声音，石重贵自己也忍不住失笑，回头对左右说：“我今天当新郎倌，怎么样！”冯皇后跟左右侍从都捧腹大笑。李太后虽然生气，但也无可奈何。冯皇后既进入中宫，开始干涉帝国行政，她的老哥冯玉当时任职国务院教育部教育司司长（礼部郎中），兼全国盐铁专卖暨运输总监署执行官（盐铁判官）。石重贵越级擢升他当端明殿文学侍从官（端明殿学士）、国务院财政部副部长（户部侍郎），跟他讨论国事。 21、南汉帝（三任中宗）刘弘熙（刘晟）命韶王刘弘雅退休（不知道刘弘雅之前出任什么官位）。 22、南唐帝李璟派洪州（江西省南昌市）屯垦兵团总纠察官（洪州营屯都虞候）严恩率军讨伐变民首领张遇贤，命皇家礼宾官（通事舍人）金陵人边镐当监军官。边镐用虔州人白昌裕当智囊，向张遇贤发动攻击，不断取胜。张遇贤向神仙祷告，而神仙却不再回答，张遇贤的党徒大为恐惧。白昌裕建议边镐派军翻山越岭，砍伐树木，开辟行军小道，在张遇贤的营后出现，发动袭击，张遇贤舍弃部众，投奔别动部队将领（别将）李台。李台知道神仙已不灵验，遂生擒张遇贤，投降，押解到金陵斩首（这位神仙不知道跟张遇贤有什么仇，千方百计把他引导到不归路上。有坐轿资格的朋友，应该特别谨慎，连神仙也会抛下轿子，拔腿开溜）。 23、十一月十三日，南汉帝（三任中宗）刘弘熙到京城（首都兴王府）南郊祭祀天神，大赦，改年号乾和（之前是应乾元年，之后是乾和元年）。 24、十一月十四日，吴越王（三任忠献王）钱弘佐娶仰女士当王妃。仰女士，是仰仁诠的女儿（仰仁诠，参考九三三年十二月）。 25、最初，后晋一任帝石敬瑭把三百匹战马借给平卢战区司令官杨光
