The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 640 Troubled times, not oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!

Chi Chi several times, a few strands of strong finger wind shot out through the air!
Feng Jiuxiao signed the blood contract for the rest of them in one go!
He's not rude at all!
Signing the blood contract is already a great forgiveness for them!As the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I caught five "spies" at once, and executed them on the spot as a matter of course!
The reason why they are not killed is naturally to keep them useful!

As their "emperor's special envoys", they are equivalent to imperial envoys with imperial edicts. Their status is naturally respected, and it is unlikely that they will travel alone, so there should be their bodyguards nearby.

In addition, there must be their colleagues in the Central Plains.Usually, in this kind of military affairs, besides these few figures in front of the stage, there will at least be an old fox behind the scenes!

The dozen or so pigeons that flew away just now flew to that old fox in all likelihood!It won't be long before those people will get the news that the five of them have met!

Killing them rashly at this time will naturally scare the snake away!Not only will the nearby bodyguards notice the anomaly, but those old foxes will soon know too!
They will inevitably send another special envoy, and their whereabouts will naturally be more secretive!

So instead of killing these people, it's better to keep them alive as your eyeliner!

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles!
If it wasn't for a coincidence, Feng Jiuxiao would never have imagined that these fringe dynasties located far and wide would be able to get together to discuss a conspiracy to annex the Great Zhou!

What the hell, do you want to come back to the Central Plains again?

Speaking of which, the Five Kingdoms can really be called the Five Hus!

Although the Northern Han and Southern Tang were under the banner of Han orthodoxy, they were definitely not Han orthodox compared with the Great Zhou!

After all, the Great Zhou continued the kingdoms of Liang, Tang, Jin, and Han, at least the capital was not moved, and Emperor Sejong made great efforts to govern, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. From the temples to the rivers and lakes, they all recognized the orthodox status of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The Northern Han Dynasty was much worse.Originally he played good cards but played poorly, he actually recognized Khitan as his father and brother, willing to be a lackey, saying that he is a barbarian is not wronged at all!
It is understandable that the Southern Tang Dynasty claimed to be a descendant of Li and Tang, but now there are disputes among the major dynasties.Some people pointed out that in the past, the blood of the Tang royal family itself had Xianbei blood. At that time, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin's grandmother Lonely and mother Dou were both Xianbei people. Therefore, from the source, the Li Tang Dynasty can no longer be regarded as Han orthodox!
It's just that Li Tang was too powerful at that time, and Emperor Taizong was called "Tian Khan", which was the highest peak of the king of kings, and they called themselves Han surnames, so naturally no one would mention these "small things".

But this moment is also that moment!The Southern Tang Dynasty now also claims to be Li Tang's bloodline, that's too bad!The great Confucians of the major dynasties rose together to attack and severely criticized!

Criticizing the unorthodox status of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the illegality of the imperial power is naturally to highlight the orthodox status of each dynasty's "divine authority granted by heaven and destiny unified"!

Even if Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't say this kind of thing, the courtiers below would naturally have to understand it!
First of all, Taifu Gao Li pointed out that the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty "falsified bloodlines and shameless hypocrisy"!
Because the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty was surnamed Xu, Xu Zhigao, not Li at all, and his father Xu Wen couldn't even get along with the Li family!

If it is a hard-wired relationship, it can also be far-fetched and get a little relationship.Xu Wen is the general of Yang Wo, and Yang Wo is the son of Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi is the governor of Huainan Town in the Tang Dynasty!

That's it!

Everyone knows what happened later, Yang Xingmi called himself King Wu!
Then there's the cliche story.General Xu Wen, the subordinate of King Wu Yang Xingmi, had similar experiences to Cao Cao. Through power struggles, he gradually took control of the military and political power for 20 years!
He worshiped King Wu as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and to put it more elegantly, he called the emperor to hold the emperor to order the princes!To put it bluntly, he emptied the imperial power, raised the emperor like a dog, let him bark twice when he needed it, and let him go back to his nest when he didn't need it!

His final ending was exactly the same as Cao Cao's, that is, he did not become emperor until his death!
The world is so miraculous, his son Xu Zhigao is the same as Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, as soon as Lao Tzu died, he immediately fell out with the emperor!
On the one hand, he tried his best to be gentle with the old ministers of the Yang family, "high-ranking nobles, pushing and retiring the old", on the other hand, he vigorously supported his confidants and cultivated his influence!
Until the time when the so-called "wings are great, extended to the crowd", finally found an opportunity to abolish Emperor Wu Yang Pu, ascended to the throne, established the country as Daqi, and reigned as Yuanyuan!
"Under obedience, no one disagrees"!
"There are no relatives with Yi surnames in the country"!
Here comes the important point, he established the name of the country as Daqi, and he didn’t know what was wrong, but he actually changed his name to Li Min in the second year, with Jinling as the capital of the country and Yangzhou as the east capital, and changing the country at the same time. The name is Tang.It is known as the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This wave of god-level operations made everyone a little confused, and didn't understand what he meant.

So many people used this to criticize him for being hypocritical and brazen, pretending to be a descendant of the Li family, and putting gold on his face!

Just post it, and even posted it on the Xianbei people, which naturally gave those great Confucian scholars a chance to show their verbal criticism skills!

However, according to the secret reports from the Imperial City Secretary of the Great Zhou Dynasty and bad people, the Southern Tang Emperor's ambitions were not small. He told his courtiers all day long that he would inherit Tang Zuo and rule the world!
To restore the glory of the former Tang Dynasty!

No wonder they claim to be the descendants of the Li family, so they want to use the Li family banner to fight for the world!

The reason why Gao Li looked down on the Southern Tang Emperor was not just because of the conflict of interests between the Tang and Zhou dynasties, but because he believed that the Southern Tang Emperor's structure was much smaller than that of Emperor Sejong!

Emperor Sejong also wanted to unify the world, but his primary goal was to regain the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and regain the land lost by the previous dynasty from the brave and skilled Khitan cavalry!

This is the courage that an emperor of the Central Plains should have!
But Nan Tang is a bit petty, always thinking about fighting in the nest!
Fight Da Zhou today, fight Wu Yue tomorrow, and sometimes harass Nan Han. It seems that he wants to dominate the world, but in fact he doesn't know what he wants to do!
If it wasn't for Nan Tang's frequent harassment of Da Zhou, Da Zhou actually didn't have much hostility towards Nan Tang!
Because in addition to the Khitan cavalry in the north, the Northern Han Dynasty also buzzed around like a fly in front of Sejong all day long. Emperor Sejong really didn't have the mood to pay attention to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have the time!

All his energy is on dealing with the threat from the North!
But now Southern Tang not only wants to invade the Great Zhou, but also lures wolves into the house, conspiring with Dongying, Tubo, Xishu, and Northern Han to prepare a joint army. This is a bit too much!

Dongying belongs to the Dahe nationality, Tubo belongs to the Tubo tribe, and the Northern Han Dynasty belongs to the Khitan. The sons of dogs are naturally not considered Han people. The Southern Tang Dynasty is included in the Xianbei tribe. Zhou, quite the second "five chaos in the Central Plains" trend!
In the past, the first five chaos in the Central Plains occurred in the period of Emperor Hui of Jin!That period of bloody war history was the most miserable period for the people of the Central Plains and the darkest period for the Central Plains government!

In the final analysis, Emperor Hui of Jin's ability was generally messed up, which attracted the rebellion of the Eight Kings, resulting in the split of the Jin Dynasty, the emptiness of national power, and the decline of people's livelihood. Due to successive years of civil wars, the military power of the Jin Dynasty declined rapidly, which gave the opportunity for foreign invasion!

The Huns, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di, the five major Hu tribes, took advantage of the situation to raise troops and invade the Central Plains!
The Central Plains has been in chaos ever since!

For hundreds of years, the frequency of dynasty changes is dazzling!On average, the dynasty changes every 11 years or so!
Historians believe that this is the longest and most turbulent historical period in the Central Plains since the Qin Dynasty!
Therefore, this period is called "troubled times" by all historians!
The bloodiest and darkest!

The most obvious feature of the Hu people's rule is "cruelty"!
Excessive taxation, indiscriminate killing of innocent people!

"Book of Jin" has a cloud: "Luojing was overthrown, and the scholars and women in Zhongzhou avoided chaos on the left side of the river for sixteen or seventeen."

The people are displaced, their lives are devastated, they starve for thousands of miles, and the people are in dire straits!
This is also the fundamental reason why the Central Plains people always resist the rule of the Hu people!
The emperors of the Central Plains basically followed the principles of Confucius and Mencius, and recognized the truth that "water can carry a boat and overturn it." The founding emperors of each dynasty basically paid attention to recuperation, so the people's willingness to resist was not very strong. Some emperors did well. The common people will support it!
When Liu Xuande ran away in the past, all the people in the city wanted to run with him!

As the saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world"!
And the rule of the Hu people has been a bloody road since the founding emperor!How can we talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith?How can there be any heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers?Kill kill kill in a row!

The first is to kill those people who resist their own rule, the second is to kill those loyal ministers and generals who always sing the opposite, and the last is to kill whoever is not pleasing to the eye!
Once a dynasty reaches the point of killing innocent people indiscriminately, its rule will come to an end, and it is time to replace it!

In troubled times, it's not oil, salt, sauce and vinegar!
