It lasted more than a century from the reign of Zhenguan by Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Kaiyuan era of Li Longji. During this period, six small kingdoms emerged together in a corner of southwest China. The ambitious Nanzhao king Piroge wanted to unify the southwest, and used tricks to trick other Wuzhao kings into going to Nanzhao to worship their ancestors. The leader of Meng Xizhao did not go to Meng Shezhao, that is, Nanzhao, to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony due to illness. The King of Nanzhao held a banquet in Songming Tower to entertain the other leaders of the Four Zhaos who came to worship their ancestors. While the leaders of the Four Zhaos were very drunk, Piroge quietly exited the Songming Tower. Geluo Feng ordered his subordinates to burn the Songming Tower and burn the leaders of the Five Zhaos alive who were drunk in the Songming Tower.
Later, Ge Luofeng sent his troops to sweep through the remnants of each imperial edict, and finally unified the six imperial edicts.
Author's note: The Rise of Nanzhao is a historical introduction to Emperor Wu of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. Because it is too long, a separate book was created. Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty is also published in the text. I hope friends will like it.
