Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Growing up in Troubled Times

After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, wars continued in the Central Plains, and local separatist regimes competed in the Central Plains. In just over fifty years, Houliang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou appeared and disappeared one after another.Faced with such a complicated political situation, what will the new leader of the party plan do?Why can the Dangxiang clan grow gradually in such a troubled world? After the establishment of Houliang, replacing the Tang Dynasty, Li Sijian immediately became a minister of Houliang.Unexpectedly, the Central Plains dynasty "changed the king's banner at the head of the city" too fast. Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou changed five dynasties in more than 50 years.The leader of the Pingxia tribe should remain unchanged to meet all changes. Those who come are all masters, and anyone who changes is my master.

After the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty, Li Sijian was dead at that time, and Li Renfu was succeeded by Li Renfu, who immediately surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty and proclaimed himself a minister.In the later Tang Dynasty, in order to restrain the Pingxia tribe, the leader of the Pingxia tribe was granted the title of King Shuofang, and he officially enjoyed the kingship.In ancient China, Wang Jue, generally speaking, the word king is the prince, the word king is the king of the county, and the king of Shuofang is equivalent to the king of the county.After Li Renfu died, his successor was named Li Yichao.Originally, Li Yichao had inherited Li Renfu's policies and had surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty, so he had a very good relationship with the Later Tang Dynasty.But the reigning emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty at that time was a rare outstanding monarch in the Five Dynasties. Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty mentioned this person when he talked about the history of the Liao Dynasty.He is talented and bold, and his subordinates are very powerful.After Tang Mingzong succeeded to the throne, he wanted to pull out the nail of Xiazhou, and did not allow such a superficially obedient, but actually duplicitous regime to exist, so he sent troops to attack the Pingxia tribe.

Unexpectedly, when he wanted to pull out the nail, he was stabbed fiercely by this nail, and this time changed the relationship between the Tuoba tribe and the Central Plains Dynasty.What exactly is going on?
