The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 3 Understanding the World
After staying in the Cangzhou Governor's Office for three days, Zhu Xiu finally understood what kind of era he was living in.

Today is May of the 12th year of Dahan Tianfu, 947 AD.

This Han is the fourth dynasty in the Central Plains during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou, and is known as the Later Han in history.

In the first month of the first month, Du Chongwei was deployed in Chengde Army Jiedushi and Hebei Camp in the later Jin Dynasty, and [-] troops surrendered to Khitan.

Yelu Deguang abandoned his power and became the Marquis of Yiyi. He moved to Huanglong Prefecture (today's Nong'an, Jilin Province) and transferred to Kaifeng Prefecture to become Bianzhou.

In February, Yelude simply wore the crown of the Han Dynasty, climbed to the main hall of the Kaifeng Palace, accepted the congratulations of all officials, and changed the country's name to Daliao.

Liu Zhiyuan, a general of the Jin army, the prince and Taiwei of Beiping County, and the commander of the camp in the north, proclaimed himself emperor in Jinyang, east of Hedong, established the country as Dahan, and promoted Jinyang to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Liu Zhiyuan spread the word to the world and called on the troops and righteous soldiers in various vassal towns to rise up against the Khitan.

The Khitan people burned, killed and looted in the Han area, euphemistically calling it "grass valley".

The soldiers and civilians of various states declared their allegiance to the newly established Liu Han court and unanimously resisted the Khitans. The entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River fell into chaos.

Zhu Xiu sat in the room, put down her pen and sighed, looking at the sheets of paper in front of her in a daze.

He sorted out a chronological list, recording the major events that will happen in recent years.

Of course, history is advancing and changing, and Zhu Xiu cannot guarantee that what he has learned in his previous life will perfectly fit with the historical trajectory.

However, he is still just a weak little butterfly, and he will not affect the big historical trend.

In 907, the Tang Dynasty fell and the Five Dynasties officially began. Forty years have passed since then.

During this period, four dynasties rotated through the Central Plains, and a total of eleven emperors with four surnames came to power.

This is an era when getting up in a dragon robe in the morning may be beheaded at night.

The Liu Han court was also short-lived, which seemed to be the historical fate of the Five Dynasties dynasty.

It was not until the emergence of the Terminator Zhao Da that Chinese history ushered in a new turning point.

Zhu Xiu held his chin with both hands, looking back at Zhao Da's fortune with a dull look on his face.

As an official of the Nth generation, Zhao Da doesn't know where he is now. In the near future, he will work under Guo Wei and gradually make a name for himself.

Guo Wei is now the first general in the Liu Han court. He serves as the recruiting envoy to the northern camp. He nominally controls the troops and horses of the states in Hebei and is overall responsible for the war against the Khitans.

However, Zhu Xiu has not yet found out where the specific person is.

Even if he knew that the whole of Hebei was currently in chaos, it was impossible for him to go and surrender to Uncle Guo in advance.

Besides, nowadays, there is no shortage of thighs at all. Uncle Guo, Chai Rong, and Zhao Da are all thicker than the other.

A hug early is not as good as a skillful hug. At this point, Zhu Xiu felt that he needed to plan carefully.

No matter what happens, there are ready-made beautiful legs in Cangzhou city that can be hugged.

Fu Jinzhan, Fu Da Niangzi.

Lao Fu's family has been a general for generations, and his disciples are all over the world. The tree is big and has deep roots.

Her father, Fu Yanqing, has been a great warlord since the later Tang Dynasty, and an evergreen tree in the political arena. No matter which emperor is changed, the old Fu family is still a wealthy family.

Fu Yanqing also has a hidden skill: giving birth to a queen

Three of the six daughters became queens. From the Zhou Dynasty after the establishment of Uncle Guo to the succession of Zhao Er in the Northern Song Dynasty, the old Fu family basically monopolized the queen industry.

After a short period of contact, Zhu Xiu felt that Mrs. Fu was really beautiful and sassy. She was born into a wealthy family but was not arrogant at all. She was kind-hearted and was said to be good at martial arts.

If we can develop a deep friendship with her, it would be nice to be next to the big tree of Lao Fu's house.

This friendship is of course pure. According to Fu Jinzhan's age, she should now be the daughter-in-law of another big warlord, Li Shouzhen.

The woman's hair bun on her head also confirmed Zhu Xiu's judgment, that's why she was called madam.

In addition to Mrs. Fu, there are also Pan Mei and Zhao Pu.

I just don’t know whether Pan Mei, who is handsome but has a rough temper, is the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty in history who indirectly killed Yang Ye and Yang Wudi and was vilified in folk art for thousands of years.

As for Zhao Pu, Zhu Xiu has not said a word to him so far, let alone whether he is the famous founding prime minister who "ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius".

Zhu Xiu rubbed his sore neck and yawned.

Fu Jinzhan said that he would send someone to help him find his relatives. Firstly, it was out of kindness, and secondly, he wanted to verify the authenticity of his life experience.

It seems that although Fu Jinzhan is kind-hearted, he is not stupid and will not be fooled easily.

However, Haozhou, Anhui was his hometown in his previous life and had nothing to do with him in this life.

Zhu Xiu didn't believe that the original owner of this body, Zhu Xiu, was from Haozhou like him.

How can there be so many coincidences?
If so, it is God’s will!
Zhu Xiu picked at the pimples on her forehead and thought about how to completely confuse the issue of her life experience.

If there is no other option, the only option is to run away. What if that heartless idiot Pan Mei decides that he is a traitor and refuses to let him go?
Zhu Xiu bared his teeth at the bronze mirror and came through the soul, but only left behind the memory of future generations, which made his eyes dark and almost had his head chopped off as soon as he appeared.The only good thing was that the original owner left him a good-looking man and a small buff who was proficient in the Khitan language.

However, the Five Dynasties were a world of martial arts, and whether a man was handsome or not did not matter much. A real hero was one who could fight and resist. His handsome and suave appearance could only be used for his own entertainment.

Of course, it would be better if he was handsome and could fight. This was also the basic quality condition for any founding emperor during the Five Dynasties period.

Zhu Wen, Li Cunxu, Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, Guo Wei, and Zhao Da were all military generals, and their looks were outstanding.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiu looked indignant and raised her middle finger to the sky.

Traveling to the fifth generation, he became a frail young scholar, with just one word: Absolute!

Mrs. Fu's personal maid, Xiao Yuan, came into the house with food. Zhu Xiu hurriedly put away several pieces of paper filled with writings, leaving one piece floating to Xiao Yuan's feet. She put down the tray, picked up the paper, and carefully Watch.

Zhu Xiu was nervous. The piece of paper stated that Liu Zhiyuan, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, would die of illness in February next year.

"Zhu Shaolang's handwriting is so beautiful! It's even better than that of Mr. Jiang, the servant of the master's house!"

Xiaoyuan praised her sincerely, with a smile on her face and eyes full of envy.

Zhu Xiu laughed dryly. This was a small achievement that he only achieved after spending a lot of money to enroll in Huang Tingjian's calligraphy training class and practicing hard for seven or eight years.

Xiao Yuan held the paper and couldn't put it down. She pouted and whispered, "It's a pity that I only know a few characters on it and I can't understand what Zhu Shaolang is writing."

Zhu Xiu's shoulders slumped and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took back the paper, folded it and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile, "If Sister Xiaoyuan doesn't mind, I can teach you how to read."

"Really?" Xiao Yuan was inexplicably surprised, "When I was in Yedu, the eldest lady taught me, but unfortunately I am too stupid and I still don't remember much."

Zhu Xiudao: "Fortunately, nothing happened. I will teach slowly, and Sister Xiaoyuan learns slowly. Don't worry. The eldest lady does not allow me to leave the house. Sister Xiaoyuan can still tell me about new things that happen in and outside the city."

Madoka nodded vigorously, looking very happy, her round eyes curved into crescents.

"Master Zhu, hurry up and eat, don't get hungry."

Madoka helped organize the desk and put the food on the table.

A bowl of clear soup noodles and a small plate of pickles.

It was light and simple. Zhu Xiu ate it and was very satisfied.

Thinking about those Khitan people whose heads fell to the ground, and thinking about the huge city of Cangzhou, where the streets were full of people with good food and ragged clothes, Zhu Xiu felt more and more that what he ate was simply delicious on earth.

Xiao Yuan watched quietly and suddenly said: "Three years ago in Yedu, if I could have had a bowl of noodle soup, my brother would not have starved to death. If he were alive, he should be the same age as Zhu Shaolang this year."

Xiao Yuan quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed faintly: "But my younger brother is born dark, and his appearance will definitely not be as good-looking as Zhu Shaolang."

Zhu Xiu put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said softly, "How did Miss Xiaoyuan call my younger brother?"

"Call me Brother Bao," Xiao Yuan sighed.

"Then Miss Xiaoyuan will call me Brother Xiu from now on! Miss Xiaoyuan is two years older than me and takes good care of me. Zhu Xiu will treat me like a big sister from now on."

Zhu Xiu stood up and bowed solemnly.

Xiao Yuan was a little at a loss and waved her hands in panic: "No, I'm just a maid. Zhu Shaolang is a scholar who has studied and is a guest of the eldest lady."

In the war-torn years, the life of a scholar was like a dog. Zhu Xiu shook his head and laughed at himself, saying: "I am just a commoner, thanks to the kindness of the eldest lady, I am able to survive. Now I am living under someone else's roof. How can I be distinguished? What's more, it's just a title. There’s no need to worry, Madoka-san.”

Xiao Yuan bit her lip and whispered: "Brother Xiu"

Zhu Xiu grinned: "I have met my sister!"

The 15-year-old Zhu Xiu was half a head taller than the 17-year-old Xiaoyuan. The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

The little round face was slightly red, and the joy could not be concealed in the brows and eyes.

She is now alone, and the closest person is Mrs. Fu.

But no matter how well Mrs. Fu treats her, she is still her master.

She had only been with Zhu Xiu for a few days, but she felt that she was very close to him. Now that he was a sister and brother, he felt even more intimate.

Zhu Xiu felt the same way. Being with the simple and innocent Madoka made him, an unaccompanied stranger, feel the warmth of the world.

After eating, Xiao Yuan put away the dishes and Zhu Xiu sent her out of the hospital.

Back in the house, Zhu Xiu sat down and thought for a while, then found a fire sickle and lit it, burning the pieces of paper into ashes.

These shocking things cannot be recorded in words and can only stay in his head.

There were voices at the door across the courtyard. Zhu Xiu stood at the door and looked. A man greeted the guard at the door and walked straight towards his house.

It's Zhao Pu, a scribe in blue shirt.
