Chapter 232 Chapter 231 Xuan Emperor Yang Longyan

Yang Longyan's first name was Ying, also known as Wei, and his style name was Hongyuan.He is the second son of Yang Xingmi.Tang Qianning was born in the fourth year (897 AD) and died in the second year of Wuyi (920 AD).24 years all the year round. In May of the fifth year of Tianyou (908 A.D.), after Zhang Hao and Xu Wen conspired to kill Yang Wo, irreconcilable conflicts arose between them.Zhang Hao was active and wanted to be Huainan Jiedu envoy to succeed Yang Wo. Of course Xu Wen would not agree, and he conspired with his disciple Yan Keqiu to push Yang Longyan away. On the fourth day after Yang Wo's death, Zhang Hao gathered soldiers in Yacheng and summoned the generals to come to discuss matters. The soldiers lined up with swords and halberds, and the swords were drawn. This method forced the generals to push him to be the Huainan Jiedu envoy.After all the generals arrived, Zhang Hao asked sharply, "Who will be the successor?" The generals dared not answer, so Zhang Hao asked three times in a row, each time becoming more majestic.At this time, Yan Keqiu stepped forward and whispered to him: "The military mansion is so great that you must preside over it. However, generals Tao Ya, Liu Wei, and Li Yu are all thirty-six of the former king just like you." One of the generals, if you make yourself the governor of Huainan, will they be able to serve on your knees? It’s better to assist Li Longyan, and you will be in the middle to govern.” Zhang Hao was in a state of confusion and could not make up his mind, so Yan Keqiu took the opportunity to take it out. Yang Xingmi's wife, Mrs. Shi, had already prepared a decree. He led the generals to kneel down to listen to Shi's decree, and asked the generals to stand up for Longyan and not to bear Yang's burden and do unrighteous things.All the generals expressed their compliance.

This is how Yang Longyan served as the Jiedu envoy of Huainan and the king of Hongnong County.After this incident, Zhang Hao and Xu Wen were even more incompatible. Xu Wen declared that Zhang Hao was the culprit who killed the late emperor Yang Wo. At the same time, he arrested and beheaded Ji Xiang and the other four. After killing Zhang Hao, Xu Wen became the most powerful figure among the generals. Longyan appointed him as the commander of the left and right teeth, and took control of the real power in Huainan. After Xu Wen took charge of Huainan's military administration, he paid attention to stabilizing the interior, establishing laws, developing agricultural production, maintaining stable relations with neighboring countries, and no large-scale wars occurred. However, he controlled Huainan's interior more and more tightly. , Yang Longyan was actually gradually excluded.

In March of the sixth year of Tianyou (AD 909), Xu Wen saw that Huainan sailors were concentrated in Jinling (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province), and Jinling was the key point of Huainan, so he asked to be the governor of Shengzhou (governing Jinling).Of course, he did not go to the post, but sent his adopted son Xu Zhigao as the anti-containment envoy of Shengzhou and the envoy of the Louchuan army, stationed in Jinling. In the ninth year of God's blessing, Xu Wen and the generals supported Yang Long as the king of Wu, and he himself was the governor of Zhenhai, and made peace with each other.

In the first year of Wuyi (AD 919), Xu Wen embraced King Wu as the king of Wu, changed the Yuan Dynasty, set up a hundred officials, and proclaimed himself the prime minister to supervise the Chinese and foreign military affairs, and to rule all the roads. , the king of Donghai County, knew the patent as Zuo Pushe, participated in political affairs and knew all the internal and external military affairs.The king of Wu got only a short name, but Xu's father and son gained both fame and fortune. Yang Longyan died of illness in May of the second year as King Wu.Posthumously titled "Emperor Xuan", he was buried in Suling.In the first year of Qianzhen (927 A.D.), he was honored as "Emperor Gaozu Xuan".
