Late at night.

Tsutong City, General Lu’s Mansion.

Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng and counselor Wang Su were discussing matters in Neixuan.

"Zheng'er, you will go to war tomorrow. This attack on Fuzhou City is very important. It is also the time for you to fully demonstrate your talents before restoring the country. You must seize the initiative and establish absolute prestige in the army, which is related to your future."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I understand that Yang and Wu are about to restore their country. Three groups of people from the three islands gather together. Many people must be staring at the position of the general. I must make good use of it and strive to make great contributions. Among the younger generation, the highest prestige.

Lu Chaoqun was very pleased to see his son so motivated.

"Zheng'er, you have to look further. Although General Wei and General Qi are three main islands, with three divisions and their generals do not serve each other, they are still part of the old subordinates of Heiyundu. However, after the restoration of the country, we will join us, even the old subordinates of Chen Hongjin of Zhangquan, the surrendered army of Wu Yue, and the generals who surrendered to the Tang Kingdom. Even Su Chen is building a new army, with a mixture of fish and dragons and factions in a row.

"It is very difficult for you to stand out from these forces and make everyone admire you. Therefore, if you make meritorious service and establish prestige, you will be ahead. As the saying goes, one step ahead, let these younger generations have no one to you. In the future, when my father and son lead more mutinies and have a high reputation, it may not be impossible to build the Lu family."

After hearing his father's explanation, Lu Zheng was shocked. He had already heard the implicit meaning from it, that is, his father planned to usurp power and seize the throne in the future and establish a new court.

Staffman Wang Su was standing aside, stroked his beard and smiled. Obviously, he had discussed it with Lu Chaoqun many times in private. He would explain it clearly to the 27 or 28-year-old Lu Zheng tonight.

"Young Marshal, General Lu and I have been planning on the island for many years. Although Heiyundu is an old subordinate of Yangwu, after decades of renewal, the soldiers here are no longer the Heiyundu people of the past, but we have changed our fresh blood. It is hard to say how many people still recognize the Yangwu royal family in their bones. Restoring the Yangwu regime is just a long-term plan for the general. With this banner, we can return to the south of the Yangtze River and convene old subordinates, have some system and get more support."

"With this title of Yang Ling'er's lord, General Wei, the Qi Jiang army was willing to bow their heads and willing to hand over all the forces, and fight with each other, and join forces into a force. Moreover, the Yang Wu regime had a dynasty foundation in Huaibei, Huainan, and Jiangnan. Even the Southern Tang regime had a fortune in Yang Wu and usurped power and established it. With the slogan of Yang Wu's restoration of the country, we can naturally absorb the remaining strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty, trace the origin, and completely gather it together. Even in Huainan and Huainan areas, there will be a chance to merge it in the future, making the Song State unable to stand firm."

"These things require the existence of Yang Wu's banner and the nominal lord Yang Ling'er. However, she is a girl after all and cannot pass on the family line. As long as Yang Wu develops smoothly within five to ten years, General Lu and the Young Marshal will firmly control the military power and recruit many officials. At that time, either depose this lord and change our dynasty. Or propose marriage to the Young Marshal, take over Yang Ling'er, take over the regime, and when the time is right, change to become an emperor, continue to use the flag of Wu, or change a new name."

As a strategist, Wang Su was relatively ignorant. He spoke more directly and had no feelings or loyalty to Yang Wu. After all, he was just Lu Chaoqun's strategist, unlike Lu Chaoqun's ancestors who were the real generals of the Yang Wu regime, the commander of Heiyundu, and the real Yang Wu remains.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng felt a little excited.

Who wouldn't be moved when it comes to being an emperor? If you really want what the counselor said, he and his father can do this and become kings in the future, you can be in power, control the government and the government, and the reform will be broken.

"The current Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, a few years ago, was just a general in front of the hall of the Former Secretary of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Because he had military power and bullied the Later Zhou Dynasty, he had a young age. So he had a Chenqiao mutiny, put on a yellow robe and directly deposed Emperor Chai Xiao. He became the emperor himself and changed his name to Song. Logically speaking, he was still one of the ministers who had promoted Chai Rong in the past and trusted to him to protect the new king of the Chai family. He was so good that he finally seized power and became independent."

"Let's go far, there is also Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, who was also the father-in-law of the Northern Zhou emperor at that time. He also seized the country's son-in-law's territory and finally established the Great Sui Dynasty. In the face of the imperial power of the country, the little affection and the grace of support are not worth mentioning. Only success, kings and defeated bandits, do they have the courage to fight, this regime belongs to the Lu family."

Wang Su's guidance made the father and son of the Lu family excited.

However, it is too early now, and it is still in the planning and preparation stage.

"Okay, I know how to do it." Lu Zheng nodded, his eyes full of hope and desire.

Now it is the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the troubled times have not yet ended completely. Whether it is the ministers or generals, especially the military generals, their loyalty to the court and the monarch is not that high, nor too much bondage of Confucian morality, because this is equivalent to the Warring States Period when heroes were separatist and the rituals collapsed and the music was broken.

Zhu, Li, Shi, Liu, Guo, Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou, all came to the fifteen emperors, and the fifteen autumns of chaos.

This is a poem written by the surnames of each emperor during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history lasted for a total of 53 years, but 14 emperors were replaced. Most of these emperors died abnormally, which shows how chaotic this period in history was.

This stage was a special period between the Tang and Song dynasties, which was essentially the continuation of separatist rule in the late Tang Dynasty and the later politics.

The Five Dynasties mainly included the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou.

The ten countries are mainly composed of ten regimes, namely Former Shu, Later Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wu Yue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping (Jingnan), and Northern Han.

These separatist regimes appeared after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and were mostly established by the Jiedushi who held military power. They directly followed the old system of the Tang Dynasty in politics, and did not form a new system that applied its own country, nor did they have new political concepts and innovations.

Therefore, this directly led to the low trust of the new dynasty regime and the inability to develop national beliefs. As this concept has not been improved, it indirectly led to the chaos in this period of history.

The key to frequent alternation of regimes is that the way of monarch and ministers at that time had been destroyed. This sign began to appear after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion. At that time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was severely damaged. Although many local governors did not dare to directly separatist and independent, they also established their own regimes in their own jurisdictions.

With the demise of the Tang Dynasty, these people gradually became enormous and they all established themselves as their own countries. In order to seize power and seek personal gain, they tried their best to do everything they could, without any moral bottom line. Due to the constant disputes between countries during this period, anyone who wanted to sit on the throne could sit on, but no one could sit on it, so in the end, they were basically usurped by their generals.

Obviously, now Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng, the father and son, and the counselor Wang Su, still have this idea, and even think it is natural that the righteousness lies. In this era, other people do this, it depends on who is brave and who can successfully usurp power.

In front of him, there was Cao Cao, Sima Yi used the emperor to command the princes, and later, there was Emperor Wen of Sui, and Zhao Kuangyin directly usurped power to establish the country. None of them had a strong mark in history.

The father and son of the Lu family naturally took these people as role models in their hearts!
