Ye Qiao then realized that his students had not repent at all, and that touching conversation was just fooling him. Ye Qiao completely lost hope. Since that was the case, let it go. So Ye Qiao voluntarily resigned and returned to his hometown Yongtai, and lived in his family.

Ye Qiao is one of the few officials in the Fujian Kingdom who dared to speak out directly against Wang Jipeng in person. Once he left, no one in the Fujian Kingdom court dared to violate Wang Jipeng. Without the final constraints and control, Wang Jipeng acted wildly and made random moves.

In order to please Li Chunyan, Wang Jipeng imitated the practice of his uncle Wang Yanhan and father Wang Yanjun, and built a large-scale construction to build luxurious palaces. One of the most luxurious palaces is called Ziwei Palace, which is several times larger than the Baohuang Palace, and is all decorated with crystal. It is magnificent and known as the No. 1 Fujian Kingdom.

The Heavenly Master Chen Shouyuan was not willing to be lonely and encouraged Wang Jipeng to build the Sanqing Hall in the palace. Chen Shouyuan claimed that he had become an immortal god and did not need any wealth and honor. The construction of the Sanqing Hall was entirely for worship and praying to the ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Babaohuang. So Wang Jipeng spent a huge amount of money to build the Sanqing Hall again. It was not enough to only build the Sanqing Hall, but he spent thousands of gold to build the golden statue of the Baohuang and Wushitianzun Laojun in the Sanqing Hall.

Chen Shouyuan likes to hide in the Sanqing Hall to burn incense and pray for sacrifices, and is called to have close contact with the Baohuang. The most ridiculous scene in the Fujian Kingdom appears. When Wang Jipeng encounters an undecided matter, he actually seeks the help of the Tianshi Chen Shouyuan. Chen Shouyuan naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity to seize power and control the government.

Chen Shouyuan's method of handling is very simple. If everyone cannot decide, then everything is decided by the Baohuang. As for how Baohuang speaks, speaks out, and decides, it is naturally spoken by him, the agent of Baohuang. In the entire Fujian Kingdom, except for Wang Jipeng, Chen Shouyuan and Baohuang are basically the most powerful. Given that Baohuang is just a golden statue that cannot move, Chen Shouyuan became the second-largest person in the Fujian Kingdom.

The state affairs were so chaotic that Wang Jipeng was still arrogant, arrogant and domineering, and had no sense of crisis at all. The reason was very simple. At this time, there was no military force around the Fujian Kingdom, including the Central Plains dynasty.

Nan Han, the southern neighbor of Min Kingdom, maintained friendly diplomatic relations with Min Kingdom as always. The leaders of Fujian Kingdom changed four times from Wang Shenzhi, Wang Yanhan, Wang Yanjun and Wang Jipeng. Liu Yan did not have the desire to rob the fire, and there was no war on the border between the two sides.

Wu Yue, the northern neighbor of Fujian, had the baton passed from Qian Li to his son Qian Chuan. Qian Chuan strictly followed the teachings of his father Qian Li, protecting the country and ensuring the people, and surrendering to the Central Plains. He did more than his father Qian Li. Qian Li often had wars with Wu, and Qian Chuan simply implemented a peaceful foreign policy. No matter who neighbors were offended, there were brothers in the world.

Even if the sons of the King of Min escaped to Wu and Yue, and even if Li Wan's confidant died in Wu and Yue later, Qian Chuan was only symbolic incubating them, using their ideas to deal with the State of Min.

As for the Wu Kingdom in the west of Min Kingdom, it was originally the biggest hostile force of Min Kingdom. Whether Wang Shenzhi, Wang Yanhan or Wang Yanjun treated Wu very cautiously and did not dare to provoke Wu Kingdom easily. However, when Wang Jipeng was at the time of Wang Jipeng, the situation changed.

Wang Jipeng's low-key and calmness after ascending the throne and becoming emperor only lasted for more than three months. His arrogance was not only reflected in his internal attitude, but also in external attitude.

In the above, Wang Jipeng also showed the fearless and crazy character of the ignorant.

One day, Wang Jipeng announced to his ministers on a whim that he planned to send troops to attack Wu. Wang Jipeng believed that the military power of Fujian was already very strong and could serve as the overlord of the countries in Jiangnan. At present, the overlord of the countries in Jiangnan was Wu. If he wanted to be a new overlord, he had to defeat the old overlord.

Since he had an idea, he had to transform his heart into action. Wang Jipeng carried out a massive military training activity in China. Wang Jipeng was also very cunning. He knew that it would be difficult for the ministers in the court to fully support his military plan by relying on his mouth to speak, so Wang Jipeng came up with a new method.

Wang Jipeng set up a big sand gong in the shooting archery, and then ordered the civil and military ministers to come together to watch his archery performance. Before archery, Wang Jipeng announced to the ministers: "If this arrow can hit this sand gong, it means that our Fujian country can pacify the south of the Yangtze River."

Wang Jipeng was shameless because the gong he chose was several times larger than an ordinary target. Moreover, the archery position he was standing was only a few dozen steps away from that gong. In addition, Wang Jipeng learned archery since he was a child and had very superb archery skills. In this case, it is impossible to make Wang Jipeng fail to hit the gong.

The ministers already knew Wang Jipeng's true intentions. Since Ye Qiao left office, there have been no upright officials in the Fujian court. Everyone either flattered, echoed, or remained silent, and no one exposed Wang Jipeng's tricks.

The result of the archery performance was naturally unsurprising. Wang Jipeng shot the gong as he wished. The civil and military officials congratulated Wang Jipeng: "This arrow can conquer the world!" It was not me, Wang Jipeng, who was talking nonsense, even heaven indicates that the Fujian Kingdom can pacify the south of the Yangtze River. So what else can everyone hesitate? Take action quickly.

Wang Jipeng quickly launched a general mobilization of the whole nation, and gathered heavy troops on the border between Fujian and Wu, and acted as if he was preparing to attack Wu in a large scale. The largest war between the countries in Jiangnan seemed to be about to break out.

Faced with the crazy clamor and provocation of King Jipeng of Fujian, what was the reaction of Wu, the neighbor of Fujian? Strangely, Wu had almost no major reaction to the actions of Fujian. It is impossible to say that Wu completely ignored the phenomenon of the army in Fujian!

Xu Zhigao, the powerful minister of Wu, is moving steadily towards his or her emperor's track! Since Xu Wen's death from illness in Wu, Xu Zhigao, the adopted son of Xu Zhigao, has taken over all Xu Wen's inheritance and became the second generation of powerful minister of Wu. Xu Zhigao did not intend to be Cao Cao for the rest of his life. He wanted to complete the role of a powerful minister to an emperor as soon as possible.

Starting from 933 AD, Xu Zhigao stepped up his preparations for seizing the throne and becoming emperor. On the one hand, he arranged his confidant generals to serve as important military positions in the Wu Kingdom and gain military power. On the other hand, he arranged his confidant civil servants to create various public opinion to make comprehensive and full publicity to replace Yang Wu.

During this special period, Xu Zhigao had no energy and no time to get entangled with weak neighbors like Min. Even at the critical moment when Xinzhou Governor Jiang Yanhui was about to conquer Jianzhou for Wu and expand his territory, Xu Zhigao's idea was very practical, and he first considered suppressing Yang Wu's power. Jianzhou could be ignored, but the Yang group could not turn over and seize power. As long as he successfully became emperor, everything could be taken back.

Facing Wang Jipeng's arrogant and ridiculous

Xu Zhigao's reaction was to laugh it off. He said to his subordinates contemptuously: "Is Wang Jipeng really such ambition? He is just a joke!"

Strategically, Xu Zhigao despised Wang Jipeng extremely, and he was too lazy to pay too much attention to Wang Jipeng. But from a tactical perspective, Xu Zhigao did not underestimate his opponent. The border counties of Wu and Min had actually increased their vigilance. If Wang Jipeng really attacked Wu without knowing it, he would probably have to be bleeding.

However, Wang Jipeng was as Xu Zhigao said, with only a few days of enthusiasm. He had just assembled heavy troops on the border of Wu and Min, but within a few days he forgot his ambition to pacify Jiangnan. After all, fighting was too hard and brain-hardened, so it would be better to enjoy a happy emperor life with his beloved beauty Li Chunyan. The so-called attack on Wu and pacifying Jiangnan completely turned into a ridiculous farce.

In 937 AD, Xu Zhigao finally successfully allowed Emperor Yang Pu of Wu to automatically abdicate the throne. The Wu Kingdom in Huainan was officially declared to end, and replaced by the Tang Kingdom established by Xu Zhigao, that is, the Southern Tang Dynasty. After the establishment of the Southern Tang Kingdom, Xu Zhigao sent envoys to Fujian to announce that the diplomatic relations between the two sides returned to normal.

As for the Central Plains dynasty, which has long been the subject of the Fujian Kingdom, the situation in recent years can only be described as chaotic! In just over four years, the Central Plains dynasty has changed four emperors and two dynasties in a row!

In 933 AD, when Wang Yanjun became emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Long Qi, the Later Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains became turbulent. In the end, Shi Jingtang became the new emperor of the Central Plains dynasty, changing the country's name to Jin, which was known in history as the Later Jin. This was the environment in which Wang Jipengji was originally. The neighbors were very peaceful and comfortable. The Central Plains dynasty was constantly in civil turmoil and wars continued, so the emperor took turns to do it.

In Wang Jipeng's view, the civil strife in the Central Plains dynasty could not end with the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty of Shi Jingtang. Since this is the case, there is no need to please the so-called boss. If you become the emperor of Fujian, you will have whatever you want, so why should you be the sermon? When the news of Shi Jingtang's proclaimed emperor reached the Fujian Kingdom, Wang Jipeng did not panic much.

In October of the second year of Tongwen, Wang Jipeng sent his younger brother Wang Jigong, the governor of the Weiwu Army, as an envoy, to conduct diplomatic activities in the Later Jin Dynasty. The main purpose was to inform the Later Jin Dynasty: I have become emperor in the State of Min, and the status of the State of Min in the future will be on par with that of the Later Jin Dynasty. We requested to build a mansion in Luoyang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, so that we can contact us.

Wang Jigong's mission was very large in scale. In order to show the strength and prosperity of the Fujian country, Wang Jipeng specially prepared extremely generous gifts, including fifty taels of platinum, six goldware, three thousand taels of silver, twenty real beads, thirty rhinoceros, fifty pieces of silver with wooden pieces, twenty teeth, eighty kilograms of large tea, ten thousand kilograms of fragrant medicine, two hundred red zippers, three hundred zippers of silver zippers, three thousand stalks of arrows, five-color copper fans, sea clams, deer boots, fine banana medicine, papaya and other delicacies, rare treasures, and special specialties.

These gifts were not tribute gifts from Wang Jipeng, but gifts given to the Later Jin Dynasty as an equal country. I don’t know if it was because Wang Jigong did not explain Wang Jipeng’s intentions to Shi Jingtang when he was on the mission to the Later Jin Dynasty, or if Shi Jingtang pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending to behave, and the Later Jin Dynasty had no reaction to Wang Jipeng’s arbitrarily proclaiming emperor.

On the contrary, in November of the third year of Tongwen, the Later Jin Dynasty sent Lu Sanqi to serve as the envoy of the Left Cavalry, and went to the State of Min to enthrone Wang Jipeng as the King of Min, and Wang Jigong as the Prince of Linhai.
