Chapter 45 Qian Chuangan implements the New Deal

Qian Chuan successfully took over his father Qian Liu's foundation without any danger and became the second leader of Wu Yue. The regime handover ceremony of Wu Yue was extremely smooth, and Qian Liu left with peace of mind. Now it should be the time to mourn Qian Liu.

Logically speaking, the regime alternation was successfully completed. Because there was no major problem, everyone should handle the funeral for Qian Liu. During the funeral, a bad episode occurred. Qian Liu's sons may have suffered too much from his father's death, or for some purpose, they actually lived with Qian Chuan to attend the funeral, and some people also brought many followers.

This is a very unreliable phenomenon. Qian Chuanguan is already the supreme leader of Wu Yue. How can other idle personnel live in the same room with Qian Chuanguan? What should we do if an accident occurs? Qian Chuanguan may be too sad, and may think that they are all his brothers, so he does not take this kind of thing too seriously.

But someone discovered this abnormal situation and decided to stand up and stop it. This person was named Lu Renzhang, a native of Muzhou. He was poor when he was young and had great ambitions. He joined Qian Liu's army since he was a child and acted as a soldier guarding the garden.

While inspecting the mansion, Qian Liu accidentally met the inconspicuous Lu Renzhang. He found that this man was both wise and brave, calm and ambitious, so he promoted Lu Renzhang.

During the rescue battle in Suzhou City for three years, Sima Fu, who successfully swam into Suzhou City, made great contributions. But Lu Renzhang also played his role, cooperated with Sima Fu to accurately convey the message to the Wu Yue army inside and outside Suzhou City, and ultimately ensured the victory of Suzhou City's rescue battle.

So Lu Renzhang came to work in time and gained Qian Liu's trust. He was transferred to the military chief of military rations and commander of the two governments for his military achievements. Lu Renzhang was still quite arduous and knew to be loyal to Qian Liu alone.

After 926 AD, Qian Chuan took office as the governor of the country, and some civil and military officials of Wu Yue began to curry favor with the future prince. Lu Renzhang was unique and was not interested in Qian Chuan. He even offended Qian Chuan several times, making Qian Chuan very uncomfortable. As an official that Qian Chuan didn't like very much, Lu Renzhang had no need to stand out for Qian Chuan's dangerous situation.

But the stubborn Lu Renzhang entered another dead end. Since the old leader Qian Liu was dead, Qian Chuan became the new leader of Wu Yue Kingdom, he should turn to loyalty to Qian Chuan.

Therefore, Lu Renzhang reminded everyone at a critical moment: Qian Chuanguan is currently the supreme leader of Wu Yue Kingdom, with different status and status. All civil and military officials should attend the meeting with the etiquette of visiting, and of course they should be treated separately from other princes.

Under Lu Renzhang's reminder, everyone set up another tent to let Qian Chuan treat the funeral alone. As for those prince's entourage, they were prohibited from entering if they were not summoned. A small episode that might cause hidden dangers was easily resolved with Lu Renzhang's appearance.

Afterwards, Qian Chuanguan felt very strange. This stubborn Lu Renzhang had always had a tense relationship with him, so why did he think wholeheartedly for himself at this time? Lu Renzhang said: "The previous king is in power, and Renzhang does not know how to serve Linggong. Today, he is the first king, but he is still the first king!" Qian Chuanguan heard about it and began to trust and respect Lu Renzhang more and more.

In March of the third year of Changxing, the Wu Yue Kingdom entered the reign of Qian Chuanguan. Qian Chuanguan

He was originally a very filial and respectful person, and he became the new leader of Wu Yue, so he showed great attention when dealing with his father Qian Li's funeral. Feeling that his father Qian Li's death, Qian Chuan was in pain and sad for several days, and even went on a hunger strike for four days. Fortunately, he was persuaded by civil and military officials, so he barely drank some porridge.

Judging from Qian Chuan's performance during the funeral, everyone unanimously judged that Qian Chuan was a relatively reliable leader. When his father died, Qian Chuan was indeed very sad. But he could not be sad forever. He should turn sadness into strength, inherit his father's will, and make the Wu Yue Kingdom more prosperous.

Qian Chuan's new leader was the first to remember and implement Qian Liu's request before his death and surrender to the Central Plains dynasty forever. During Qian Liu's reign, although he also surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty, he secretly made some small moves, such as setting up an internal era name, setting up a palace system, setting up a royal title, etc., secretly living the emperor's addiction.

Qian Chuanguan has a deep understanding of the true strength of Wu Yue Kingdom. Since his talent is not as good as his father, for the long-term stability of Wu Yue Kingdom, he must be honest in the Central Plains dynasty, and he will not do those small actions.

During Qian Liu's reign, the State of Wu Yue secretly set up three year names, Tianbao, Baoda and Baozheng, but only for use within Wu Yue. Qian Chuanguan did it very simply, and all the private year names were abolished, and the Central Plains dynasty was unswervingly used the year names of the Central Plains dynasty. As for the court systems, etiquettes, titles, Qian Chuanguan were all abolished. Since you want to be a younger brother, you should take it thoroughly. Put yourself in your position and position yourself as a vassal state that surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty.

This first fire burned gently. For the people and officials of Wu Yue, Wu Yue's active weakness towards the Central Plains dynasty means that the peace of Wu Yue can last longer. Of course, just burning this fire to surrender to the Central Plains cannot fully demonstrate Qian Chuan's ability to govern the country and deal with politics. Qian Chuan's second fire after Qian Chuan's rule was burning the real practical interests of the people of Wu Yue.

Since my father was notorious for heavy taxes, Qian Chuan, as his son, had the obligation to help his father get rid of these bad reputations.

Qian Chuanguan quickly issued an edict: Any farmland that has not been harvested in the territory of Wu and Yue will be exempted from any taxes, and if these farmlands are leased, any rent will be exempted. During the period of Qianling, such barren and unharvest farmland must be collected according to normal circumstances.

Qian Chuan boldly abolished the unreasonable system formulated by his father, which of course would be well received by all the people of Wu and Yue. The second fire burned to the people of Wu and Yue, and it also burned more affordable and prosperous.

The third fire of Qian Chuanguan was the Wu Yue Kingdom. The Wu and Yue Kingdom had basically entered a long period of peace and could no longer adopt the policy of military rule as before. It must promote talented talents to govern the country, otherwise it will inevitably cause turmoil and unrest in the country.

Several heavyweight literati aides in the Qian Liu era became the targets of Qian Chuan's vigorous promotion this time, such as Shen Song, Pi Guangye, Lin Ding and Cao Zhongda! In the Qian Liu era, the four major scholars of Wu Yue Kingdom, except for the number one scholar Luo Yin, who had passed away, the rest, such as Shen Song, Pi Guangye, and Lin Ding, were still alive, so naturally became Qian Chuan's first choice target.

Chen Song was originally from Fujian, and returned to his hometown in the late Tang Dynasty.

After passing through Hangzhou, Qian Li was discovered by Qian Li, and hired as the chief secretary, who was responsible for helping Qian Li draft various memorial documents. He was Qian Li's imperial secretary.

In October of the first year of Tongguang, after Li Cunxu destroyed the Liang Dynasty and became the new master of the Central Plains dynasty, Qian Liu consulted Chen Song about the future and fate of the reign of Li Cunxu. Chen Song replied visionaryly: "Looking at this title, if you can't succeed in your country, just one word." Li Cunxu has become a representative of the rapid depravity and decline among the five emperors. Ordinary aides such as Chen Song can accurately predict his fate.

Of course, Chen Song's talent was not only a small secretary. At this time, Chen Song was over 60 years old, so Qian Chuanguan decided to reuse Chen Song. In order to choose wise men in Wu Yue Kingdom, Qian Chuanguan set up a place called the Seoneng Academy in Hangzhou, which was specifically responsible for selecting and recruiting talented and wise men. Chen Song was appointed as the president of the Seoneng Academy, and coordinated and comprehensively managed the matter. Several years later, Chen Song, who was over 70 years old, was appointed as prime minister and died in office with a posthumous title of Wenxian.

As the son of Pi Rixiu, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, Pi Guangye's performance in Wuyue Kingdom was not inferior, and he did not embarrass his father. Pi Guangye was good at speaking and proficient in literature. He was able to be a literary prodigy at the age of ten. There is also such a legend about him.

One day, Pi Guangye went to Kuaiji to visit and came to a rather strange alley. According to local people, gods and ghosts appeared in this alley, so most people dare not go to this alley casually. Pi Guangye has always been conceited and did not take this legend of snakes, gods, bulls and ghosts into and out of this alley of gods and ghosts with great swagger.

Originally, whenever someone entered this ghost alley, gods and ghosts would definitely appear, but Pi Guangye's trip to the ghost alley was extremely calm and peaceful, and no movement happened. Everyone was surprised that the gods and ghosts in the ghost alley gave the answer and said, "Pi Xiucai will be the landlords here in the future, and we little gods should not appear in front of him." More than ten years later, the prophecy of these little gods and ghosts was indeed effective, because Pi Guangye really became the prefect of Yuezhou.

Once, Pi Guangye's cousin invited guests to taste the newly listed citrus. As an important official of Wu Yue, Pi Guangye was also invited. The banquet that day invited many important officials and powerful officials of Wu Yue, and the banquet was very rich. However, Pi Guangye turned a blind eye to the delicious food and fresh citrus tables, and hurriedly asked for tea as soon as he entered the table.

Everyone knew Pi Guangye’s special hobby, so they had to brew a large pot of tea for Pi Guangye. Pi Guangye tasted the tea with satisfaction, and then habitually closed his eyes and wrote a poem: "If you haven’t seen Gan Xin, welcome the Master of Kukou first." After hearing this, everyone smiled kindly: "This master is noble, but he is hard to be hungry." Tea is known as a master of Kukou, and Kukou is the allusion of this story of Pi Guangye.

During Qian Li's reign, Pi Guangye's main position was a senior diplomatic envoy. Pi Guangye would be responsible for any diplomatic activities involving major events. Pi Guangye did not disappoint his expectations and could basically complete the task smoothly.

In the fifth year of Zhenming, Wu planned to sign a peace treaty with Wu Yue, and Pi Guangye was naturally the best diplomatic envoy to be the unswerving candidate. Given that Wu's strong desire to seek peace, the peace negotiations were as smooth as ever, and the two sides quickly signed the peace treaty.
