Murong Wei

Murongwei (350-384), the former Yanyou emperor, was born in Jicheng County, Changli County (now Yixian County, Liaoning Province) of Xianbei nationality. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the third son of muronghe, the last emperor of the former Yan Dynasty, was born to the empress kezuhun.

At the beginning, he was canonized as the prince of Zhongshan. In the sixth year of Yuanxi, he was appointed prince. Guangshou four years (360 years), officially ascended the throne, year Jianxi. In the early period of the rule, relying on the Regency of murongke, the state power developed steadily. In the later period of the reign, under the guidance of murongping, the Taifu, kezuhun, the empress dowager, and murongchong, the great Sima, the national power declined gradually and was finally destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty. After entering Chang'an, he was treated well by Fu Jian, worshipped books, and was canonized as a new marquis. After the war of Feishui, he secretly colluded with Murong Hong to support the restoration of the state of Yan.

Life of the characters

To be king and Emperor

Murong was the first king of Zhongshan. Yuan Xi six years (357 years), the book for the prince. In the fourth year of Guangshou (360 years), Murong Jun died. The officials wanted to make Murong Ke, Murong Jun's younger brother, Emperor. Murong Ke refused to say: "the country has established the heir to the throne, which is not in line with my integrity." So Murong Wei was made emperor. Murongwei was the emperor. He was granted amnesty in the territory, changed his name to Jianxi, and established his mother kezuhun as empress dowager. Ren Murong Ke was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty; Ren Murong was the imperial Fu; Mu Yugen was the supreme teacher; Murong Chui was the governor of Henan, the general of Zhengnan, the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Jingzhou, and the commander of Nanman; Ren Sunxi was the general of Anxi and the governor of Bingzhou; Fu Yan was the general of the guard; the others were different.

Murong Wei is mediocre and weak, and all state affairs are entrusted to Murong Ke. Mu Yugen thinks that he is an old and meritorious official. He is proud and ignores the heart of the monarch. He hates murongke's command of the imperial court and is ready to make trouble. So he says to murongke: "now that the monarch is young and his mother interferes in the imperial government, his highness should guard against coups like Yang Jun and zhugeke and consider his own strategy. Besides, the stability of the world is the credit of his highness. When his elder brother dies, his younger brother takes over the throne. This is the system of the former king. After visiting the mausoleum of the former Lord, he can dethrone the present Lord as the king of the feudal state, and his highness ascends to the throne of God, so as to build up the infinite achievements of Dayan. " Murongke said, "are you drunk? How unreasonable your words are! In the past, both Cao Zang and Wu Zha were in a time of family crisis, and they still said that it was not my duty to be a king. Besides, now that the crown prince is succeeding to the throne, there are no worries around the world. How can there be a private discussion when you assist the ministers to accept the orders of the former Emperor! Have you forgotten what the emperor said? " Mu Yugen was very scared and said he would apologize and quit. Murong Ke tells Murong Chui about it, and Murong Chui persuades him to kill Mu Yugen. Murongke said: "now that the former Emperor has just passed away, the thieves and prisoners from both sides are waiting for an opportunity. The mausoleum of the former Emperor has not been built yet, but the assistant ministers are killing each other. I'm afraid it's against the expectations of people far and near. We can tolerate him for the time being." Mu Yugen and Zuowei Mu Yugan murdered Murong Ke and Murong Ping, and usurped the throne. After entering the court, he said to empress dowager Ke zuhun and Murong Wei, "taizai and Taifu are planning to make trouble. I ask to lead the forbidden soldiers to attack them and stabilize the country." But zuhun was ready to listen to his advice. Murong Wei said, "Er Gong is a relative of the country. The minister entrusted by the former Emperor is not such a person. Is it the grand master who is going to make trouble?" So Huang Fuzhen and Fu Yan were sent to arrest Mu Yugen and others, kill them in the palace and implement amnesty in the territory. Fu Yan was sent to the south of the Yellow River with 20000 cavalry to show his strength. He marched to the Huaihe River and returned, showing his strong military power.

Lu Hu's defection

At the beginning, LV Hu, the general of Ningnan appointed by Murong Jun, guarded the wild king and secretly contacted with the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty appointed LV Hu as the former general and the governor of Jizhou. After Murong Jun's death, Lu Hu planned to lead the Jin army to attack Ye City. When the incident was discovered, Murong Wei sent Murong Ke and others to lead 50000 people to attack them. Fu Yan said to murongke, "Lv Hu, they are desperate bandits. They have gathered for the time being. Although the Jin army has arrived, they are lack of morale from the top to the bottom. They dare not fight in the middle, showing their Mantis heart. This is the verification of the death of soldiers. In the past, your highness made a long-term confrontation strategy because of the steep terrain in Guanggu, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now the geographical situation of the bandit soldiers is different from that in the past. We should attack them quickly in order to save military expenses. " Murongke said: "Lv Hu is very crafty and experienced all kinds of changes. It's not easy to eliminate it immediately by observing the method he used for prevention. If they are besieged in a city with no basis for advance and retreat, and cut off the road of cutting and picking, there is no savings in the city, and there is no strong backup outside the city. In less than 100 days, they will surely starve to death. Why do they have to kill the lives of soldiers to pursue temporary interests! We dig deep into the encircled barracks, let the soldiers rest, and use the high official wealth to find the available gap to alienate them. If things are delayed for a long time, their momentum will be exhausted. They are easily shaken because of the gap. We have not paid much, but the bandits have been killed. This is called "fighting without blood, watching and conquering the enemy." So they lined up and opened a long circle to trap the wild king. Zhang Xing, the general of Lvhu sect, took 7000 elite soldiers out of the city to fight. Fu Yan attacked and killed them. From March to August, when yewang city was defeated, Lu Hu fled south to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and all his subordinates surrendered. Before long, LV Hu rebelled against Jin Dynasty and returned to Murong Wei, who treated him as he did at the beginning. Murong Wei sent Fu Yan and LV Hu to lead the scholars to occupy Heyin. Fu Yan attacked Chile in the north, seized many booty and returned. Lu Hu attacked Luoyang and was shot dead by a flying arrow. General Duan chongcong gathered his troops to cross the Yellow River to the north.

Link South

In 363, Murong Wei sent General Murong Zhong of Ningdong to conquer Xingyang, and sent General Murong Chen of Zhennan to invade Changping. At that time, Chen you, the champion General of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, defended Luoyang and sent people to ask for help. Emperor mu of the Jin Dynasty sent Huan Wen to reinforce him.

In 364, murongwei sent murongping to invade Xuchang, xuanhu and Chenjun. All of them were conquered. Then he invaded the counties of Runan and moved more than 10000 families to Youzhou and Jizhou. Murongwei's Yuzhou governor sun xingshangshu asked to attack Luoyang with 5000 infantry. Murong Wei took his advice, and sent the eunuch Sima Yuexi to garrison Mengjin and Sun Xing to defend Chenggao as Yuexi's support. Before long, Chen you led the people to flee to Luhun, and all the barracks south of the Yellow River were conquered by Yuexi. Murongke conquered Jin Yong and killed Yang Wei general Shen Jin. He served as the commander of Murong Chui, the commander of Jingzhou, Yang, Luo, Xu, Yan, Yu, Yong, Yi, Liang, Qin and other ten prefectures, and the commander of Southern General and Jingzhou mu. He was assigned 10000 soldiers to guard Luyang.

Return politics and build morality

At that time, there were many floods and droughts in the territory of Qianyan. Murong Ke and Murong Ping both handed over the power and asked to abdicate. They said: "I was too old and stupid to govern the country. I took too much of the favor of the selection and appointment of the former Emperor, and thanks to your Majesty's unusual kindness. I was incompetent to occupy the position of prime minister by virtue of my humble ability. I couldn't coordinate Yin and Yang and govern the country from the top to the bottom The lack of government and the lack of people's ability to work together, resulting in the loss of order. I heard that the king established his country according to the law of heaven, identified the direction and correct the position. The official should measure his ability, and the official should be recommended only by virtue. Taifu's important task is to participate in the regulation of the sun, moon and stars. If he employs incompetent people, the sun and moon will lose. It has always been a common sense that empty salaries will bring disaster, and that living in an incompetent position will lead to regret. There has never been a mistake. In terms of the merits and virtues of Duke Zhou, if we talk about the nearness, it will cause the displeasure of Duke Tai and Duke Zhao. If we talk about the distance, it will cause the rumors of Uncle Guan and uncle CAI. Moreover, our favors come from relatives, and the dignitaries are not due to their own abilities. How can they tarnish the positions of senior officials for a long time, such as dust obscuring the way to become virtuous! Therefore, in the middle ages, he presented a memorial to reveal his sincere feelings. The emperor was kind enough to employ the old ministers, but he didn't have the heart to abandon us. He was more responsible for stealing the honor and salary. It has been seven years since I took office as an important minister and was ashamed to be prime minister. Although we tried our best to plan, we failed to accomplish everything. As a result, the two sides failed to realize their cause of seizing the law and discipline and promoting the power of the world. Compared with the prosperous Han Dynasty, we are ashamed of the rule of the world, which is far from the regulation entrusted by the former Emperor. It is a serious violation of his Majesty's purpose of letting go and ruling the world. Although he was dull, he obeyed the advice of a gentleman, and how dare he forget Yu Qiu's virtue of making way for a virtuous minister. So he followed the Han Dynasty's principle of sparing the emperor and his nephews, and respectfully presented the seals and ribbons of Tai Zai, Da Sima, Tai Fu and situ, hoping to get permission. "

Murong Wei said: "I lost my father in my early years because I was not protected by heaven. The former Emperor entrusted me to rely on the two princes. The second Duke is a noble royal family. He has made more contributions than Lu and Wei. He assisted the royal family, helped me, loved all people, was kind and obedient, sat and waited for the dawn, was pious and assisted the government, and was wary of fear all the time. As a result, it can wipe out mass murders, govern Kyushu internally, keep the four seas safe, and coordinate the government and people. Because of the protection of the gods of the ancestral temple, but also the credit of the two public. Now there are di people in Guanyou who have not yet been subdued, and there are bandits left after the war in Wu area of the Yangtze River. They are going to rely on the advice of Er Gong to unify and stabilize the world. How can they humbly abdicate their position and fail to live up to the important position they have been granted
