Section 3 The new king of Yan State fights against the Central Plains

The most important town in the country is Youdu, which dominates the Jiuyi in the east and controls the Hu in the north. The five armies have 300,000 elite soldiers, and they can win a hundred battles and capture Chanyu. It faces Hutuo in the front and Yi River in the back. The mountains and fertile fields stretch for thousands of miles. In the past, Yanshan valued wise men and built golden buildings.

Taiwan started from Wei. Suddenly a king was established in Jiqiu, and the Han family was granted the title of prince.

News of victory came from the front line, and Murong Jun was about to reach the end of his life.

Before he died, he summoned Murong Ke. He said something to Murong Ke, saying that he planned to imitate Song Xuangong, because his son had been unable to hold the responsibility in the past few years and wanted to hand over the world to Murong Ke. Murong Ke was shocked when he heard this, and

After saying some polite words of concession and actively asking to assist the young master, Murong Jun was very happy. Murong Jun must be the one who knows the current situation of Yan State best. He also has a question about the level of his son Murong Wei.

Count, I am afraid that in his heart he really did not want to let the foundation established by his ancestors be destroyed in the hands of his son. Let's look back at Song Xuan Gong's abdication. Song Xuan Gong did pass the throne to his younger brother Song Mu Gong, but later Song Mu Gong

He passed the throne of monarch to Song Xuan Gong's son, Song Shang Gong. It seems that this bed position may be sincere, but it is also conditional. Even if Murong Jun wants to test Murong Ke, he also wants him to take the initiative to say that he wants to assist.

The young master's thoughts are that because of his assistance, the Yan Kingdom can survive in such troubled times.

In 360 AD, the previous order to recruit soldiers issued by Murong Jun had expired, and 1.5 million troops gathered in Yecheng. Murong Jun dragged his sick body to review the troops. It happened to be the first month of the year, and the winter wind in the north was freezing, so the army had not reviewed yet.

After that, Murong Jun's body could no longer hold up, and he was carried back to the palace by the people around him.

When Murong Jun was dying, he asked Murong Ke, Murong Ping, Yang Qian, Mu Yugen and others to assist in the government affairs, and then passed away. Murong Jun was 41 years old, reigned for 12 years in total, and was emperor for eight years.

The young master Murong Wei succeeded to the throne. He was only 11 years old. He asked the chief minister Murong Ke to focus on the government and he did not care about anything. Murong Jun arranged these four auxiliary ministers for his son. It is worth pondering. These four people are not only trusted by Murong Jun

People, and they all have one characteristic, they are not too young. Murong Jun's idea may be that in ten years, these auxiliary ministers will be almost dead, and by that time, his son will be in charge.

But God's calculations were not as good as those of humans. Ten years later, almost all of these auxiliary ministers were dead, but the Yan Kingdom was also destroyed.

Among the four auxiliary ministers, Murong Ping had no ability. Yang Qian was a Han with a foreign surname. Mu Yugen was a very crazy person, and he did have some ability. However, he was a foreign branch of the Murong family, and Murong Ke kept treating him

Be on guard like a thief.

Mu Yugen wanted to test Murong Ke's tone, so one day he specially made time to come to Murong Ke's house, and pretended to say, you helped your highness to ascend to the throne, and you also conquered most of the world of Yan State.

If you want to be the emperor, it can be said that it is justifiable and something that everyone in the government and the public is looking forward to. Murong Ke said sternly, I'm afraid the old general is drunk. How can you say such a thing? The late emperor asked you and me to assist you.

How dare your majesty have two minds today?

After hearing this, Mu Yugen pretended to be drunk and fell down, and then returned home. Murong Ke turned around and told his Fifth Emperor Murong Chui and Huangfu Zhen about the incident. The two of them suggested that Murong Ke kill Mu Yugen.

Yu Gen, Murong Ke was still hesitating.

Mu Yugen took the lead and went to the palace to report secretly to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, saying that Murong Ke, Murong Ping and others were plotting evil plans to destroy His Majesty. Now that everything had been said, the Queen Mother's anger was successfully aroused.

, he ordered Mu Yugen to prepare his men and horses for battle and wait for Aijia's orders at any time.

Mu Yugen was so happy that he didn't know what his last name was. He immediately went back to organize his troops and waited for the orders from the Queen Mother and the Emperor. During this period, Murong Wei, a child, knew far better than his mother. He said to his mother,

The Taifu and the Dazai were both my uncles and uncles, and they were personally selected by the late Emperor. How could they suddenly rebel for no reason? The Queen Mother was also shaken after hearing this, and she was secretly glad that Mu Yugen was not asked to directly send troops.

Mu Yugen saw that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had not taken any action, so he came up with another bad plan. He hid the Queen Mother and the Emperor back in their hometown in Liaodong and gave up the Central Plains as a den of right and wrong. The Queen Mother was a brainless person, so she agreed. Because

The Xianbei people's hometown is Liaodong, so the whole court, including the soldiers, were somewhat shaken.

Murong Ke was shocked when he heard about it and thought that if no action was taken against Mu Yugen, there would be big trouble. So Murong Ke and Murong Ping went to the palace together, reported Mu Yugen's crimes to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and requested

The Queen Mother and the Emperor were still hesitating to kill him.

Murong Ke sent someone to falsely convey the order of the Queen Mother and ordered Mu Yugen to enter the palace to discuss matters. On the way to the palace, Mu Yugen was killed by the general Fu Yan behind him.

Let's go back and talk about the 1.5 million new soldiers gathered by Murong Jun. The emperor is dead, what should we do with these 1.5 million troops? Should the state support them, let them go home and continue farming, or lead them south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

This is a big problem. 1.5 million people have gathered in the small city of Ye, and they can no longer afford daily food and accommodation. What’s more, so many things have happened within the Yan Kingdom recently. First, the old emperor died, and then the assistant minister

The ministers killed each other, and the soldiers thought that there was going to be trouble in Yan State, so they fled one after another.

Seeing this situation, Murong Ke had to take measures. He issued an order to select tens of thousands of elite soldiers from one million recruits, and then sent all the rest back to their hometowns. These selected soldiers were unwilling to fight, and Murong Ke again

He came up with an idea. He asked these soldiers to visit the border between Yan State and Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then dismissed them. All of the more than 1 million new soldiers were dismissed, and peace was restored in the Yan State.

At this time, the power of Yan State was basically in the hands of Murong Ke.

The ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty knew that Murong Jun was dead, and the more than 1 million recruits they had just recruited were dismissed. They thought that the Central Plains was profitable and they would have no worries from now on. Only Huan Wen saw that although the old emperor Murong Jun of Yan State died, Murong

As long as Ke is still there, there will still be enough for us to drink a pot.

After Xie Wan was deposed as a commoner, there were almost no members of the Xie family in the court. At this time, although Xie An did not want to be an official, for the sake of the family, he had to work. He chose Huan Wen and became Huan Wen's son.

Sima Huanwen was very happy and treated her very well.

The imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty added a new title to the Huan clan. At this time, Huan Wen wanted to make achievements in the Northern Expedition. He was only waiting for the news of Murong Ke's death.

It's not just Huan Wen who thinks about Murong Ke's death every day. Fu Jian and Wang Meng of the former Qin Dynasty also look forward to it every day. No wonder Murong Ke is not in good health before he is 40 years old. Could it be that they are looking forward to his death every day? Six years later, Murong Ke

Ke died when he was only about 45 years old.

Let’s not talk about what happened after Murong Ke’s death. Let’s talk about the major problems of Yan State that he had to solve while he was still alive.

First of all, the big problem facing the Yan State is that some local separatist forces in the Yan State have not been wiped out. The first person to cause trouble was Lu Hu. This person has surrendered to every regime. Now it is the third time he betrayed the Yan State and surrendered to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He led troops and horses to sneak attack Yecheng. Murong Ke explained the government affairs in Yecheng clearly, and then personally led 50,000 elite troops to attack Lu Hu. Lu Hu requested reinforcements from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Huan Wen sent his younger brother Shuai soldiers to attack Xuchang, and to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

Purpose. As a result, Xuchang was successfully captured, and Lu Hu was also defeated. He surrendered to the Yan State again. Murong Ke did not hold him accountable for his fault. He also asked him to lead troops to attack Luoyang, and asked him to make up for his mistakes and capture Luoyang to compensate the Yan State.

Xuchang.

At this time, there were only more than 1,000 people guarding Luoyang. The news of Luoyang's emergency spread back to Jianye. When Emperor Mu of Jin Dynasty heard about it, Sima Dan died. She died at the age of 19. It seems that the descendants of their Sima family really cannot escape this devil.

curse.

The Empress Dowager Chu Suanzi also appointed Sima Pi, Sima Dan's cousin, as emperor. Sima Pi was physically weaker and relied on medicine to maintain his life at a young age. He was named Qianling, but it was useless to call him anything.

Taking advantage of the urgent matter in Luoyang, Huan Wen wanted to go to the Northern Expedition again. So the Eastern Jin Dynasty sent a man to send troops, but this man was stationed in Shangqiu, Henan Province and refused to leave. Huan Wen urged him several times, but he still refused to leave. Huan Wen was completely angry.

So he slapped him.

Huan Wen quickly sent his general Deng Xia to lead 3,000 people to rescue Luoyang. Lu Hu died in the battle and Luoyang was saved. At this time, Huan Wen posed another problem to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He proposed to move the capital to Luoyang. Isn't this stupid? Move the capital.

Going to Luoyang and being harassed by the Yan State every day, can the Eastern Jin Dynasty still be able to function?

But after all, Huan Wen was powerful and someone gave the emperor an idea. Since he proposed it, don't refute him and let him handle the matter. This matter will definitely not be done.

In 363 AD, Sima Pi handed over all the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Huan Wen and made him the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The children of other big families also became Huan Wen's staff and served as his staff.

Sima Pi, this kid, would take drugs in the palace when he wasn't doing anything serious all day long. One day after drinking, something happened. The drug took effect and Sima Pi couldn't speak, and he couldn't move.

As a result, the Queen Mother Chu Suanzi had no choice but to come to the court to listen to the government again. She, a woman, could not control the affairs of the court, so she ordered the Grand Sima Huanwen to join the court to participate in politics. This time Huanwen not only controlled the military power, but also controlled the government.

Huan Wen was very happy after receiving the news and rushed to Jianye without stopping. Although Emperor Sima Pi was speechless while lying on the bed, he firmly opposed it. Queen Mother Chu Suanzi also began to panic and quickly issued an edict to allow Huan Wen to temporarily

There is no need to enter the court, just concentrate on the war in the north.

After Huan Wen received another order from the imperial court, he was very depressed. He stayed where he was now and would not leave. No matter what the Northern Expedition was, he would continue to fight with the imperial court.

At this time, Murong Ke sent people to Longcheng and moved all the ancestral temples and left-behind officials back to Yecheng. His purpose of doing this was to tell everyone that we had settled down in the Central Plains, and no one was allowed to go back to our hometown.

Murong Ke once again ordered the attack on Luoyang. At this time, Huan Wen was still angry with the Queen Mother. After receiving the news, he casually sent Wang Huzhi of the Wang family to lead an army to assist Luoyang. This Wang Huzhi walked halfway and said he was ill and could not leave. .

At this time, there was a prisoner's son named Shen Jin. He offered to lead troops to rescue Luoyang. His purpose was to make great achievements and clear his father's name. Since he took the initiative to go, the court agreed, but only gave him More than 1,000 people visited him.

He took more than 1,000 people to rescue Luoyang. The Luoyang guard took a look and saw that more than 1,000 people came to rescue last time and again this time. Does the imperial court really not want Luoyang?

Although they were small in number, they were united and united, and Murong Ke really couldn't defeat him for a while. Murong Ke adopted the method of besieging Luoyang for several months. The food in Luoyang city was finally almost exhausted, and the Luoyang guard general He escaped secretly. After daybreak, Shen Jin discovered that the defenders in Luoyang City were in chaos at this time. Shen Jin boosted morale and expressed his determination to live or die with Luoyang City.

Shen Jin continued to lead the garrison in Luoyang City to guard Luoyang with difficulty, surviving by eating wild vegetables. At this time, it seemed that a turning point was coming, because Huan Wen's grudge against the court finally came to fruition. The Empress Dowager also named them a descendant of the Huan family, Huan Wen was satisfied and finally agreed to work.

Just when Huan Wen was thinking about how to rescue Luoyang, another news came from the court: Emperor Sima Pi passed away. Sima Pi reigned for a little more than four years and died at the age of 25. His posthumous title was Emperor Ai of Jin.

As soon as the emperor died, everyone in the court, including Huan Wen, began to get busy again, and the rescue of Luoyang was dropped.

Sima Pi also had no sons, so the Queen Mother had no choice but to choose Sima Yi, the younger brother of Emperor Ai of Jin, to succeed him. At the age of 23, he was the deposed emperor of Jin.

No one came to rescue Luoyang, so the fall of Luoyang City was only a matter of time. Finally, Luoyang City was captured. Shen Jin fought until the last moment and was captured. Murong Ke knew that he would not surrender, so he killed him.

Shen Jin's actions are worthy of our praise. In the face of the righteousness of the country and the family, he is a good man and used his actions to wash away his father's grievances.

Personal life insights: Opportunities appear without much fanfare. Sometimes, they appear when you think there is no hope.

The place of hope.

There is such a story in the Buddhist scriptures:

A disciple asked the Buddha: How come I can't see the paradise you mentioned, and how can I believe it?

The Buddha took his disciple into a dark room and told him: There was a hammer in the corner. No matter whether his eyes widened or narrowed, he still couldn't see his fingers, so he had to say that he couldn't see it.

Buddha lit a candle, and sure enough there was a hammer in the corner.

Sometimes, we think there is no opportunity, maybe just because we haven't lit the candle.

There was an old man named Joseph in the UK who worked alone in a foreign land for most of his life without achieving much. One day, he saw a TV host introducing interesting facts about the moon, and he saw the host spreading it on the table in a serious manner. A fake picture of the moon to talk to people about.

When many people saw this scene, they probably didn't expect there to be any clever ideas here, but he suddenly had an idea and thought that since there are maps, why can't there be a moon map? If there is a globe, why can't there be a lunar globe?

He is good at observation and guesses that people will be curious about this new gadget, so that they can make a lot of money. Moreover, this is an emerging market, and the profits will be very high.

So, he immediately turned his ideas into practical actions and began to draw pictures, print, and at the same time advertise on the radio to sell his lunar chart and lunar instrument.

Sure enough, many schools, science popularization associations and other units came to place orders. As a result, a retired old man started a large-scale enterprise. Now his products are available all over the world, with annual profits as high as 14 million pounds.

If you know how to observe carefully, you will discover that the world is full of novel things, and then if you put them into practice, you will create many opportunities for yourself.

The so-called observation is not just to pay attention when reading, but to observe carefully in daily life and pay attention to what is happening around you at all times. As long as you have a keen insight, you will gradually have the feeling of "yes, that's it" in an instant and
