As a teenager, Li Keyong and Li were separated from Taiyuan, and Liu Zhiyuan was a soldier under Li Siyuan, Li Keyong's adopted son. At that time, Shi Jingtang was the Ministry of Li Siyuan. In the battle, Liu Zhiyuan rescued Shi Jingtang twice regardless of his own life and death. Shi Jingtang felt very fond of it. With his help, he kept Liu Zhiyuan under his account and became a student of a dental school. In 936 AD (the third year of Tang Qingtai), Liu Zhiyuan moved to Wenyang and was promoted to the commander of the "Ma bu" or horse stance just look. In the same year, Shi Jingtang, with the help of Liu Zhiyuan and others, planned to destroy the later Tang Dynasty under the guise of the strength of the Khitan army, proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, and established the later Jin Dynasty for Jin Gaozu. In order to repay the help of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states to the Khitan, and called Yelvdeguang, who was 1 1 younger than him, his father. Liu Zhiyuan did not agree with Shi Jingtang's practice. He thought: "It is enough to be a vassal of the Khitan, but it is too much to be a son. Don't cut land, send more gold and silver wires to help Liao soldiers, and there will be endless troubles! " Sure enough, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan, and from then on, Daimon Masaru in the Central Plains was opened, so there was no danger to defend.
After the establishment of the late Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan became increasingly prominent with his military and political talents and life skills. He served as a captain, bodyguard, commander of the Sixth Army, governor of Xuzhou, governor of Zhuzhou, captain of Beijing (now Taiyuan) and governor of Hedong.
Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself emperor for seven years, and died in 942 AD (the seventh year after Jin Tianfu). Shi Zhonggui, the adopted son, ascended the throne for the later promotion of the emperor, and Liu Zhiyuan also moved to the school to make a secretariat order.
In 944 AD (the first year of the latter Jin Dynasty), the Khitan general Yelvdeguang led the army south, and the army arrived in Yizhou, sending a fan to lead Wang Wei's army into Yanmenguan. Liu Zhiyuan, as an emissary of Youzhou Daoxing Camp, defeated Wang Wei in Xinkou, moved to Taiyuan as the battalion commander of Beidao Camp, the king of Beiping County and Qiu, then killed 400 people from five tribes, including Tuguhun Bai Chengfu, and took the king of another tribe as the leader of the other five, and broke the Khitan again in Yangwuguan, Shuozhou. Liu Zhiyuan's main intention in this period was to rule Hedong and realize Wang Ye. So he made a half-hearted decision on the imperial edict. On the one hand, he refused to accept orders and could not stay in the battle. On the other hand, he also took the initiative.
In 947 AD (the fourth year of the late Jin Dynasty), on the first day of the first month, the Khitan invaded the capital, captured the young emperor Shi Zhonggui of the late Jin Dynasty, and the latter Jin Dynasty perished. On February 1st, Ye Ludeguang put on the ceremonial clothes of the Han nationality, went to worship in Chongyuan Temple, and made a letter to change the State of Jin to Liao, giving amnesty to the whole world, calling the title the same as ten years. Liu Zhiyuan sent Wang Jun to the Khitan table, and Yelvdeguang praised him by imperial edict, calling Liu Zhiyuan his son and giving him a wooden crutch. According to the etiquette of the Khitan, valuable ministers can get this kind of reward, just like giving festivals according to the etiquette of the Han nationality. Wang Jun took a wooden crutch. When the Khitans saw it, they all went to the side of the road to escape. When Wang Jun came back, he told Liu Zhiyuan that the political chaos in Qidan must not capture the Central Plains, so he discussed the founding of the country.
At this time, our time He Jian arrived in Shu. On the 12th, Sima Zhang Yanwei, who marched into Hedong, and his officials thought that the Central Plains was ownerless, and Liu Zhiyuan's prestige became stronger and stronger, so people joined him. He wrote to persuade him to ascend the throne, but Liu Zhiyuan humbly refused to accept it. Since then, the official has written three times, and the official and your minister have seriously invited him to make announcements one after another.
In the same year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan on 15, establishing the post-Han regime. He didn't change his name immediately, but gave up the year of sailing and extended the year of Shijingtang, which was called the Twelve Years of Tianfu. Then, Liu Zhiyuan banned the withdrawal of money for the Khitan; Comfort and defend the place and arm the people against Liao; All the Khitans in Taoism will be put to death, and so on. So the old ministers of the Jin Dynasty surrendered themselves in succession.
After the Khitan retreated under the resistance of the Central Plains people, in June of the same year, Liu Zhiyuan entered Kaifeng and established its capital. It was renamed Bao Gai as Han, and in the thirteenth year (AD 948), it was the first year of Gan V. It was tax-free and granted amnesty to the whole world and proclaimed himself emperor. Liu Zhiyuan resolutely adopted Li Xinyu's suggestion and changed the past practice of rewarding soldiers by relying on people's wealth. But to take out all the property in the palace and win the hearts of the people. After the Khitan army entered the Central Plains, it plundered property everywhere and killed innocent people in the name of "mowing the grass valley". The rebellion of the people in the Central Plains continued, and Yelvdeguang was forced to withdraw from the north, leaving Xiao Gan guarding Bianjing. Liu Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and adopted Guo Wei's correct suggestion of "dividing water from Henan and connecting the south with the world". He also made history a pioneer, sent troops south, and was invincible all the way.
After Liu Zhiyuan pacified the situation in the Central Plains, Du Zhongwei of Weizhou moved to Germany (now south of Shangqiu, Henan Province) to exchange time with Gao Hangzhou for our return to Germany. Du Zhongwei refused to obey orders, and Liu Zhiyuan Gao Made Hang and Murong Yanchao led an army to crusade against Du Zhongwei. Du Zhongwei defended the city and the Han army was defeated for a long time. Liu Zhiyuan, afraid of his defection, attacked himself and suffered heavy casualties. With a genial smile, Liu Zhiyuan sent people to surrender to Du's encirclement for many times. At this point, the basic dust of the Central Plains has settled.
In the first month of the first year (948), Liu Zhiyuan was seriously ill because of the death of his eldest son, and called Shi, Su, Guo Wei and others to entrust an orphan. Liu Zhiyuan thought Du Zhongwei was capricious before he died, so he instructed his ministers to get rid of him. He died at the age of 54 and was buried in Lingrui, Wen Sheng, Wu Zhao and Xiao Su, with the temple name Gaozu. His son Liu Chengyou succeeded Yin Di to the throne, which was later the Han Dynasty.
The tenth volume of the History of the New Five Dynasties, Han Zhi, the ninety-ninth volume of the History of the Old Five Dynasties (Han Shu), A Record of Emperor Gaozu and the hundredth volume of the History of the Old Five Dynasties (Han Shu) and A Record of Emperor Gaozu are all recorded.
Historical evaluation of the History of the Old Five Dynasties: "In the past, there was a disaster in heaven, but there was no king in summer. Emperor Gaozu began to merge with Fen and came to Bianluo, taking advantage of it and taking artifacts. Because of the chaos, there was the emperor's plan. Although it was planned by people, we believed in the apocalypse. However, when the emperor went to Rong Fan yesterday, he was short of things, and he was very successful. He doesn't hate people, but he is grateful for saving the drowning man, so he doesn't want to come to the Soviet Union. Too good to stop killing, too busy for Bayern. Yanji surrendered to the division and was killed in the company camp; Ye Tai betrayed Shuai because he shut down the base and dragged out an ignoble existence. Cover, comfort, kindness, so that the conquest will continue. And I went back to find my posthumous title, so although I have the name of the times, I don't regard it as the virtue of the monarch. "
After supporting Shi Jingtang in repelling the attack of the later Tang Dynasty, Ye Luduang recommended Liu Zhiyuan to Shi Jingtang: "This general is very brave. Don't give up in the future. "
Anecdotes and allusions When Liu Zhiyuan was a child, he was usually very introverted and didn't like to talk. He is often ill because of his weak constitution. His eyes are white.
More black and less, plus a purple face, gives people a very dignified feeling. Because of the difficulties in life, he had to go to a large family named Li to be a son-in-law. In feudal society, this son-in-law was called son-in-law, and her social status was almost at the bottom, and she was discriminated against. When I released my horse, I was bound and beaten by monks because the horse trampled the crops in the temple territory. Liu Zhiyuan was unwilling to spend his life like this, so he looked for opportunities to go out and do something. Liu Zhiyuan soon joined Li Siyuan's men as soldiers. Because of his bravery, he was promoted to be a general and worked with Shi Jingtang. When Li Siyuan and his army fought fiercely in Desheng Army (now Puyang, Henan Province) on the bank of the Yellow River, Shi Jingtang's waistcoat suddenly broke and was almost caught up by Liang's army. At this time, Liu Zhiyuan replaced his horse with Shi Jingtang, and he rode on Shi Jingtang's horse to cover Shi Jingtang's retreat. Afterwards, Shi Jingtang was very grateful to him for laying down his life to save him, so he succeeded to the throne in Li Siyuan and appointed him as Hedong our time. After that, Shi Jingtang took Liu Zhiyuan to his office and became his confidant.
Shi Gandang, Taishan When Li Congke rose up and competed with Tang Gaozong and Li Conghou for the throne, Shi Jingtang also led the troops to Beijing. On the way, I met Li Conghou, Shi Jingtang and Li Conghou, who fled to their homes to have a private chat. Liu Zhiyuan secretly sent a soldier to protect them just in case. Shi dares to hide the hammer in his sleeve and stand behind the stone. Finally, Li Conghou's entourage suspected that Shi Jingtang didn't mean to protect Li Conghou loyally, so they drew their swords and stabbed Shi Jingtang. Shi Gan hid Shi Jingtang in a nearby room and blocked the door with huge wood. When Liu Zhiyuan heard the news and led people to break in, Shi Dagan was already dead, so Liu Zhiyuan killed Li Conghou's entourage. Shi Tangjing didn't let Li Conghou be killed, so she sent someone to lock him up first. Later, Li Conghou was killed by Li Congke. The word "Taishan Shi Gandang" often appears on folk walls to ward off evil spirits.
