On the night of his birth, the roof was full of red light, and the passing monks predicted that the son of heaven would come.

Thunder, rain and falling meteors are natural phenomena that even primary school students understand, but the ancients didn't think so. This can't be blamed on their ignorance. After all, the level of ancient science and technology was limited, and they could not understand these phenomena. In the eyes of the ancients, if a person was born with unusual weather, he would feel that it was arranged by heaven and would make a difference in the future. There are many records about this kind of thing in history.

When Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty was a prince, he was very fond of Wang Yi. One day, pregnant Wang Yi had a strange dream that the sun flew to her abdomen and disappeared. After waking up, he quickly told the prince the dream. Liu Qi was so happy that he smiled and said, "This is a good sign." Soon after, Wang Yi gave birth to his son Liu Che, the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Coincidentally, during the reign of Dangshan in Songzhou, there was also a family named Zhu. The husband is a private school teacher, and his wife gave birth to two sons named Zhu and Zhu Cun. A few years later, my wife was pregnant again, and one night ten months later, the third son was born. The baby was none other than Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of the Back Beam.

According to the "History of the Old Five Dynasties", the night Zhu Wen was born, the roof of his house was covered with red light, which was similar to the scene of a fire, that is, "living on the Lushe, the red gas rose." The neighbor was very worried and immediately got up and ran to put out the fire. When I arrived, I found that there was no fire at all, and I was stunned. It happened that a monk passed by and suddenly predicted: "There must be a son of heaven."

Zhu Wen grows up day by day. Because my father's income is good, he is also famous in the village, respected by the local people and has a good life. Unfortunately, since his father died, his family has gradually become poorer and poorer. Zhu Wen can be said to have grown up in suffering. During the reign of Tang Xizong, famine occurred in many places, Huang Chao broke out, and the land of the Tang Dynasty was crumbling.

In 877, Zhu Wen, who had just turned 25, defected to Huang Chao. Maybe this time, he didn't think that it was not Huang Chao who ended the Tang Dynasty, but Zhu Wen, but this is another story. With his outstanding talent, Zhu Wen gained the respect of Huang Chao from a humble pawn step by step, and became the national defense envoy of the same state five years later, which was a small achievement.

Zhu Wen is in troubled times, and he understands the truth of sizing up the situation, while Huang Chao's subordinates are distracted and the situation is getting more and more difficult. In the end, you can't escape the fate of failure, so you must think about your retreat in advance. So, Zhu Wen decided to give up the darkness and give the surrender to the court. Tang Xizong was so excited that he was at a loss and praised in front of all the ministers: "This is a general given to me by God!"

Not only that, but also directly appointed Zhu Wen as the left general. In this way, Zhu Wen, who was originally a rebel, became a general that the emperor relied on, and his power was not the same, and he slowly put the emperor aside. In 907, Zhu Wen felt the time was ripe and forced Tang Aidi to meditate. Instead, he built a back beam. Zhu Wen never dreamed that he had only been emperor for five years, but eventually he died at the hands of his son Zhu.
