Chapter 250 Chapter 249 Jingzong Wangxi

Wang Xi, formerly known as Wang Yanxi, was renamed Xi when he ascended the throne. He was the youngest son of Wang Shenzhi.After ascending the throne, he sent envoys to pay tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty and changed his Yuan to Yonglong. In Kangzong Dynasty, Wang Xi shot for Zuo Pu and made peace with Zhang. Later, he was suspected by Kangzong and was put under house arrest.In the fourth year of Tongwen (939 A.D.) in the seventh month, Lian Chongyu, an envoy of the Crane Control Army, launched a mutiny and sent someone to invite Wang Xi to be in charge. Seeing that there were so many soldiers, Wang Xi panicked, thinking that Kang Zong had sent someone to arrest him. Flee to the toilet.After a long time, I dared to come out after I figured out the intention of the visitor.After Kangzong's death, Wang Xi claimed to be the king of Fujian and presided over the state affairs. Three years later, he officially became the emperor.

When Wang Xi was in power, he was in the same line as Huizong and Kangzong. Since his heir became the king of Fujian, he has been drinking, tyrannizing, and killing innocent people indiscriminately.They also levied and extorted violently, making the people's livelihood difficult. Wang Xi was jealous of his subordinates and clan, and abused punishment, fearing that others would overthrow him.He will shoot and kill any descendants of the clan who have the slightest chance of being hailed as the new emperor.For the ministers of the DPRK and China, if something goes wrong, they will be beheaded or beaten.Not only did Wang Xi kill ministers with minor offenses, but he also often killed indiscriminately while drinking.At that time, every banquet used a special big wine glass, which Wang Xi called "drunk like mud".Every time the wine is full, it must be drunk in one gulp, and countless ministers have been killed because of secretly reducing alcohol or gaffes and gaffes after drinking.The ministers are all in danger and precarious.

In March of the second year of Tiande (944 A.D.), Wang Xi, Commander Zhu Wenjin, Gemen Envoy Lian Chongyu, Commander Wei Conglang and others held a banquet in the West Garden.Wang Xi killed Wei Conglang after he was drunk, and then chanted Bai Juyi's poem to Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu while drinking: "Only when people's hearts are opposite each other, the love at close distance is unpredictable." Alluding to Zhu and Lian's disagreement.Ever since the two launched a mutiny, killed Kangzong, and supported Wang Xi, they had been worried that they would be thrown away by Wang Xi.Seeing Wang Xi chanting these two lines of poems, he got up immediately and cried to Wang Xi: "I serve the king and father, and I have other ambitions." But Wang Xi was too drunk to respond.The two were trembling all the time afterwards, and it happened that the queen was very jealous of Wang Xi's doting on Concubine Shang, and wanted to kill Wang Xi and make her son emperor.So the two and the queen jointly planned an action against Wang Xi.

On June 3, the queen's father was seriously ill, and Wang Xi went to visit him.Zhu Wenjin and Lian Chongyu ambush their cronies on the way, dragged Wang Xi off his horse and beheaded him. Wang Xi reigned for 5 years, posthumously titled "Emperor Rui Wen Guang Wu Ming Sheng Yuan De Long Dao Da Xiao" and temple name "Jing Zong".
