Chapter 248 Chapter 247 Huizong Wang Yanjun

Wang Yanjun was the second son of Wang Shenzhi, who later changed his name to Ren.After Yansi was killed, because Yanzhi was an adopted son, he pushed Yanjun to stay behind for Weiwu, so he was able to succeed to the throne.He reigned from 926 to 935 AD. Fujian has always been enshrined in the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains, and has been canonized by it.At the end of the third year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty (932 A.D.), Wang Yanjun sent an envoy to the Later Tang Dynasty, requesting to appoint him as a minister, but there was no response from the Later Tang Dynasty. He immediately cut off contact with the Later Tang Dynasty. .He called himself the "Emperor of Fujian".

After proclaiming himself emperor, Yanjun made a lot of construction projects and had endless fun.Playing with the concubine Chen Jinfeng all day long, the government affairs are mostly handled by his son Jipeng. Jinfeng was originally a talented person at Wang Shenzhi's time, and he was deeply loved by Shenzhi. .In the first month of the first year of Minlong Qi (933 A.D.), Jinfeng was made queen, and the Changchun Palace was built specially for her.Yanjun often plays here all night long. Every time he has a feast, hundreds of huge candles are lit, which is as bright as day. After getting drunk, he chases after him naked with the golden phoenix and the court ladies.Ji Peng's mother has never been favored.

In October of the first year of Yonghe (AD 935), Yanjun was seriously ill. Prince Jipeng and Imperial City Envoy Li Fang thought it would not get better, so they sent people to kill Li Keyin, a Fujian general who had an affair with Chen Jinfeng, to prevent the Chen family from monopolizing power. .Unexpectedly, Yanjun's condition improved a little the next day, and Jinfeng cried to him about Li Keyin's death.Yanjun summoned his ministers to interrogate the matter.After retiring from the imperial court, Li Fang was frightened and disturbed, so he encouraged Ji Peng to lead the guards of the imperial city into the palace with him, and assassinated Yan Jun and the queen.Empress Chen's adoptive father Chen Kuangsheng and others were also killed one after another.Yanjun reigned for a total of 10 years, posthumously named "Emperor Qisu Mingxiao" and temple name "Huizong".
