Chapter 330: Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: Later Liang
On the canopy.

Like a flawless ruby ​​falling to the ground.

The red territory of the Tang Dynasty was torn into pieces in an instant!

Vassal states of all sizes and colors filled the territory of the world.

Then the whole country was in chaos and after several years of annexation.

The powerful forces were "Later Liang" occupying the Central Plains, "Former Jin" occupying Taiyuan, and "Former Shu" occupying Shu.

Four large blood-red characters slowly took shape in the smoke.

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms"

……

[In 907 AD, Zhu Wen usurped the throne of the Tang Dynasty and was killed by him after Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty abdicated.]

【At this point, the Tang Dynasty came to an end. 】

【Zhu Wen officially proclaimed himself emperor and established the state of Liang, which is known in history as the Later Liang. At the same time, Li Keyong established the State of Jin in Taiyuan.】

[Liu Rengong, Liu Shouguang, Wang Rong and others also occupied the Hebei area, while Li Maozhen had a sphere of influence in the northwest and confronted the imperial court.]

[In the south, Wang Jian, Qian Liu, Wang Shenzhi and others also established their own regimes, and the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" began. ]

……

Great Qin.

Looking at the "vassal states" of different sizes on the sky

Ying Zheng frowned and thought deeply.

The last upheaval lasted about three hundred years, but no one knows how long this one will last.

……

Big man.

"Liu Bang, how long do you think this world conflict will last?"

Liu Bang thought silently for a while and uttered three words.

"Hard to say……"

"All the feudal states in the world are the same. They are called countries, but they are just larger feudal states."

"Without a world goal, nothing can be accomplished."

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan slowly woke up and held his forehead.

"Hiss... My head hurts..."

"Da Lang...Er Lang...you guys help..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuan looked up and saw the scattered "Rainbow Candies" in the sky.

Trembling hands and trembling lips.

"This is... Tang Dynasty?!"

"How long have I slept?!"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other.

"Aye, this is what happened..."

……

Great Song.

Sitting in the pavilion, Zhao Kuangyin felt the breeze and sighed as he looked at the four bloody words.

"When the Khitan invaded the south, how many scholars in the Central Plains defected to them?"

"When the feudal lords rebelled, how many scholars would choose to serve like a revolving lantern?"

"The loss of a country is like the collapse of heaven and earth, the loss of the world is even worse than that."

"People's hearts are depraved, morality is decadent, and a group of pigs, dogs and beasts exist. This is not a good sign for our land and our people."

"The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms... Oh, the imperial court still exists, but the empire is gone."

Zhao Kuangyi looked at his elder brother who was chattering away, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"What I want to do is not only to unify the country, but also to rebuild the people's livelihood..."

……

【As the first to establish a nation, the Later Liang Dynasty should have done something by inheriting the Tang Dynasty's legal principles, but it is obvious that Zhu Wen is not someone who can take on the responsibility of the world. 】

[When Zhu Wen first ascended the throne, he did some things, such as encouraging agriculture, restraining the feudal lords, and establishing some order. ]

[However, these sporadic achievements were not enough to stabilize his regime. On the contrary, his debauched, lustful, murderous and lewd character led to crises all around the Later Liang court, which was gradually heading towards collapse.]

[This person's lust and lechery are close to those of beasts.]

[In July 911 AD, Zhu Wen returned to Luoyang and stayed at the home of Wei Wang Zhang Quanyi on the way. Over a period of more than ten days, he raped all the wives, concubines, and daughters of the Zhang family.]

[Zhang Quanyi's sons were so angry that they planned to kill Zhu Wen, but Zhang Quanyi stopped them by saying that Zhu Wen had saved their lives.]

……

Liu Song.

Liu Yu patted his ears and asked around:
"Did I get hurt in the head when I attacked the city yesterday?"

"Is that human language being spoken in the sky?" No one around answered, they were also stunned by the shock.

For a moment, they couldn't tell who was more of a beast between this man and Liu Ziye.

But everyone thought about it secretly.

Liu Ziye harmed his own family, while this man harmed his ministers.

Well... Zhu Wen is even more of a beast!
……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
Gao Yang stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Can we still play like this?"

But after all, I haven’t drunk any alcohol and my brain hasn’t gone crazy yet.

As soon as he dared to learn this, the border soldiers dared to sell the pass.

It's okay to suffer the loss once.

"Tsk tsk, I've never seen a founding emperor who is so playful..."

……

[Zhu Wen not only abused the wives and daughters of his subjects, but also his own daughter-in-law.]

[He often summoned his daughters-in-law to the palace to sleep with him in the name of taking care of their daily lives.]

[And his sons were willing to sacrifice their wives to win his favor, and took advantage of their wives' presence in the palace to win his favor in order to compete for the position of heir.]

……

Northern Wei Dynasty, period of Emperor Xiaowen

Tuoba Hong was a little confused.

The Hu people who just entered the Central Plains were not so shameless, right?

……

Northern Zhou Dynasty: Emperor Wu Period
Yuwen Yong was stunned for a long time and suddenly said:

"This Li Longji has left behind a lot of trouble..."

For the first time, the ten-year-old Li Yuan felt a great sense of humiliation!
……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan, who was already furious after hearing about Huang Chao's second bloodbath in Chang'an, was now furious when he saw that the family that destroyed the Tang Dynasty turned out to be such a beast.

His blood rushed up, his eyes rolled back, and he fell backwards.

"Aye! X2"

……

[In February 912 AD, Zhu Wen was badly defeated by Li Cunxu and became so angry that he became seriously ill.]

[In May, because his adopted son Zhu Youwen's wife was Zhu Wen's favorite, Zhu Wen intended to pass the throne to Zhu Youwen.]

[At that time, Zhang, the wife of Zhu Wen's third son Zhu Yougui, was accompanying Zhu Wen. When she learned the news, she immediately reported it to Zhu Yougui.]

[On June 2, Zhu Yougui and his family general Feng Ting'e led 500 personal soldiers and sneaked into the imperial city to kill Zhu Wen in his bedroom.]

【After Zhu Yougui ascended the throne, his debauchery was even worse than Zhu Wen’s.】

[In February 912, Zhu Youzhen, the legitimate son of Zhu Wen, raised the banner of "eliminating the evil and rebellion, and avenging the great hatred", killed Zhu Yougui, and seized the throne. ]

【After Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he appointed corrupt officials, extorted people's wealth, and sold official positions and titles. 】

[On October 923, AD, Li Cunxu led his cavalry to Daliang and captured Caozhou without a fight, and then led his army to Kaifeng.]

[Liang's ministers fled one after another, and the guards also took advantage of the chaos to defect. Even the imperial seal was stolen by his subordinates. Zhu Youzhen was so disheartened that he committed suicide. ]

[The Liang Kingdom was destroyed at this point. It had three emperors and existed for seventeen years.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji twirled his beard and said nothing.

Although there were only a few words, he still saw many suspicious points in them.

It is so absurd that he wants to pass the throne to his adopted son just because his wife serves him well.

Duke Xuan of Wei took away Crown Prince Ji Zi's wife Xuan Jiang and killed Ji Zi.

King Ping of Chu took away Prince Jian's fiancée Meng Ying, forcing Prince Jian to flee with Wu Zixu. He was later killed by the people of Zheng while in exile.

And myself... Prince Shou will never be in the line of succession.

Whenever a father took his son's wife away from his father in an imperial family, no matter whether the unfortunate son resisted or not, the relationship between father and son would deteriorate, and the son whose wife was taken away would not have a good ending.

It can be seen that without considering love and a man's face, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for the prince if his wife was favored by her father.

If this is the case with biological children, what about adopted children?
But...there are many strange things in the world.

The sons offered their wives to their father without blushing, and not only did they not have to worry about being harmed, but they could benefit from it instead.

Maybe it’s because Zhu Wen was particularly lustful and different from others?
Are all his sons particularly shameless and different?

He is just a traitor, who will argue with him?

"Good death!"

"What a shame the imperial seal is gone. It's such a waste!"
