What did Wang Jian, the great ancestor of Shu before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?

After the Tang Dynasty and before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wang Jian was the first emperor of Shu. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Jian joined Zhong Wujun and became the general of Zhong Wuba. To talk about Wang Jian's deeds, we have to start from his early years.

Legend has it that Wang Jian's ancestors were chefs who made cakes. Wang Jian's appearance is also broad-browed, and dzi beads are eyeing him, smart and brave. When he was young, Wang Jian was not what everyone thought. He is a young bastard, stealing chickens, being a fool and selling illicit salt. He was even nicknamed "thief turtle" by fellow villagers.

Later, Wang Jian joined the army under the guidance of Wudang Mountain monks. After the Huang Chao Uprising, Wang Jian became a general in Ba Du. In the first year of Guangqi, Wang Chongrong, our envoy in the river, fought with Tian for the salt pond and joined forces with Hedong Army to invade Chang 'an, so he had to flee. At this time, Wang Jian has been named as the history of sweeping the Tao and is responsible for protecting the jade seal. On the way to escape, the plank road in the mountain was burned down, and Wang Jian pulled Nopai's horse and braved the fireworks to break out. Because of Wang Jian's meritorious service, Wang Jian was named the secretariat of Bizhou.

Later, because yangfu came to power and rejected Tian's henchmen (Wang Jian is Tian's son), Wang Jian was released as the secretariat of Lizhou.

At that time, because Chen was afraid of Wang Jian and Gu Yanlang, when we were in Dongchuan, with the help of Tian, he recalled that Wang Jian was his father. However, just in the middle of Wang Jian's trip, Chen regretted it again and ordered to return. It turns out that Wang Jian intends to get a position under Chen's subordinates under his father's letter. This time, Wang Jian was furious and broke the deer head pass.

Wang Jian not only captured Lutouguan, but also marched into Snow Snake Mountain, defeated Xichuan and captured Deyang in one fell swoop. Soon, Gu Yanlang appointed his younger brother Gu as the secretariat of Hanzhou, sent troops to help Wang Jian and besieged Chengdu. After Tang Zhaozong acceded to the throne, Gu Yanlang also recommended Wang Jian to seek the post of our time.

After that, Wang Jianyi Road seized Xichuan and annexed Dongchuan. In the year of recovery, Wang Jian was named King Xiping. Two years later, Tuoba Sijing surrendered to Wang Jian, and in August of three years, Wang Jian was made King of Shu.

Seven years later, Zhu Wen usurped the throne and built the back beam, but it was not recognized by Wang Jian. At the same time, auspicious signs are constantly appearing in Sichuan and Guizhou. In September of the same year, Wang Jian called the generals to discuss the matter of claiming the emperor. Later, on September 25th, Wang Jian proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Shu, and became an official and philosopher.

On the first day of June in Guang Tianyuan, Wang Jian died at the age of seventy-two, with the temple name Gaozu.
