Chapter 261 Chapter 260 Literature Wang Gao Congjiao

Gao Conghui, courtesy name Zunsheng, was the eldest son of Gao Jixing, born in the second year of Tang Dashun (891 A.D.).After Ji Xing died, Cong Jiao succeeded to the throne.He continued to use his father's method, first persuaded Wu Chen Xu Zhigao to be the emperor, and took the lead in proclaiming himself a minister, and then proclaiming himself a minister to Jin, Shu and other countries.After the Khitan destroyed the Jin Dynasty, he paid tribute to the Khitan and proclaimed himself a minister, and on the other hand sent envoys to Taiyuan to persuade Liu Zhiyuan, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, to proclaim himself emperor, and asked Zhiyuan to grant Yingzhou to Nanping after he proclaimed himself emperor.After Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Conghui sent envoys to pay tribute, and begged Yingzhou again, but Zhiyuan refused.But soon, because after the severance of diplomatic relations, the northern merchants did not come and the territory was poor, so they sent envoys to apologize and ask for reconciliation.In November of the first year of Qianyou (948 A.D.), he died of illness at the age of 58.
