Lord Wei's name is Murong Wei, and he is over sixty years old this year.

Murong Wei was the younger brother of the previous Lord of Wei.

Because of the increasingly intensified contradictions between the Tang and Yi in China, a large number of Tang doctors entered the court on the one hand, and the Xianbei nobles who held great power refused to give up their authority; At the same time, it was also because a large number of households were embezzled and occupied by the Xianbei military nobles and became their private households, which greatly reduced the state's ability to control the people, so out of the purpose of strengthening centralized power and exalting royal power, vigorously promoted Tang Dynasty in China, reused Tang bureaucrats, weakened the power of Xianbei nobles, and eventually led to the rebellion of domestic conservative forces.

After several years of scuffle, the previous Wei lord was defeated and killed, and Murong Wei was elected as the new emperor.

Murong Wei was a man of great talent, and understood that the Tang Dynasty was actually the general trend of history, and he did not object to his brother's Tang Dynasty measures, but he also saw that the Xianbei people were the foundation of Wei's rule over the Central Plains, and thought that his brother's policy was too drastic and was self-defeating.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, in the face of the sharp contradictions between Tang and Yi in the country, he first united with conservative forces to extinguish the resurgence of the beggar army, exterminated the two Tang Gaomen in the north who refused to enter the ranks, and then suppressed the long-term ambition of the Qianren He Hun in the southeast, and on the basis of stabilizing the situation of the country to a certain extent, he then appointed a small number of Tang scholars, inherited the policy of the previous Wei lord, and continued to carry out Tang reform in the country. Of course, he learned the lessons of the previous Wei lord, and the process of promoting Tangization was extremely slow.

Moreover, he was smarter than his brother, the previous lord of Wei, in that not only did he not excessively weaken the vested interests of the Xianbei aristocracy, but whenever there was a wave of opposition from the conservative forces in the country, he chose to use troops abroad, either to invade the Tang Dynasty in the south, or to plunder Rouran in the north, or to attack Puqin, in order to divert the contradictions, reward the opponents with the capture of the war, and appease their dissatisfaction.

Under his painstaking management, the Wei State is actually in the midst of internal and external troubles, and it has been in turmoil to this day.

Murong Wei propped himself up, half-lying on the bed, his eyes were like a shining candle flame, dark but not extinguished,—— just like the current situation of Wei State, the faces of the princes in front of his bed swept one by one.

The rise of the Murong clan has gone through three major stages: Thorn City, Dragon City, and Entering the Central Plains.

As early as the period of Thorn City and Dragon City, the Murong clan was relatively heavy on Confucianism and religion, which is why the Murong clan was able to contact the Central Plains regime in the late period, but it was the first to enter the Central Plains among the Xianbei tribes.

Murong Wei and his sons, like their ancestors, have a good aesthetic vision, and because they have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, they no longer live in the wild grassland, so they are no longer accustomed to the old customs of the Xianbei people.

His sons wore splendid hakama of various colors, belts around their waists, gold medals, and crowns of travel.

One of the sons, in his thirties, was crowned with three beams, covered with green feathers and decorated with white beads. This is Murong Yan, the second son of Murong Wei. Murong Wei's eldest son has died, and Murong Yan is the current crown prince of Wei. The rest of the princes' long-distance crowns are all based on green silk.

Pu Qin called Murong "Bai Lu". The complexion of the Xianbei people is mostly very fair-skinned, the genes of the Murong family are excellent, and the children in their clan are all tall, and all the sons of Murong Wei are around eight feet. The number of children stands in one place, all of them are burly and handsome, giving people a sense of pearls and jade.

Murong Wei didn't feel relieved, his eyes wandered, full of deep worry.

From time to time, he looked toward the temple gate.

The chamberlain not far away knew his intentions, and replied to Murong Wei at this time every time: "The big Sima has not come yet." ”

The Great Sima Murong Zhan is Murong Hui's younger brother.

Unlike the "Eight Dukes" of the Western Tang Dynasty, who were all fictitious, the Great Sima of the State of Wei was the highest military commander with real power, and the purpose of this post was to help the emperor share the heavy responsibility of unifying the army, "President President Ma of the Sixth Army, not let it be left to be a person", and most of the emperor's brothers were mainly appointed as the emperor's brothers.

Murong Zhan is the top powerful faction among the current important ministers of the Wei State.

Soft footsteps sounded outside the hall and into the silent hall. A sturdy man in his forties, dressed in a pleated hakama, arrived at the entrance of the temple. The guards and eunuchs at the door announced: "Da Sima has arrived." ”

Murong Wei motioned to summon him in.

Great Sima Murong Zhan quickly walked into the hall.

Murong Hui's sons gave him a place.

He fell down in front of the couch and said, "Brother pay a greeting to your majesty." ”

"Get up."

Murong Zhan got up, his eyes were also full of worry, he looked at the weak Murong Zhan, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty urgently summons your younger brother into the palace, but is there anything important?" Your Majesty, how is your health? ”

Murong Zhan sighed, called Murong Zhan's nickname, and said, "Yuanbao, I can't do it anymore." People grow short and are destined, so why hate them? It's just that the country is difficult and uncertain.

"He Hun is evil, the wolf is also, I have always wanted to capture him, kill him, hang the city gate, but he and Jiang Zuo sneaked through, if you want to attack, you need to fight the whole country, and the situation in the court has not allowed me to do this over the years. Tuoba occupies Daibei, Tuoba has no son-in-law, the gift of the minister, the last time he begged Rouran, just because the army mistakenly stepped on his Daibei's field, he actually wanted to raise troops and I move the sword, I also wanted to teach him a lesson, but he was sick and unwell, and he could not use the army. Rong Pu Mao, reuse Meng Lang, a small prosperous image, but also the enemy of our dynasty! Jiang Zuo has quite a number of ministers, although the mandate of heaven has belonged to me, and it can still be extended, and it will not fall for decades, and it is the enemy of our dynasty.

"Our department started in Thorn City, prospered in Longcheng, attacked for 30 years, descended to Goguryeo in the east, broke Buyeo in the north, destroyed the Duan Department and the Yuwen Department, and there was the Central Plains. More than 100 years before and after! There is no danger to the present!

"The number of Kou has not been extinguished, and the family of one bucket is insufficient. Yuanbao, I plan to entrust the society to you, how about you inherit the throne? ”

Yidou is Murong Yan's small character. This is the Xianbei word, the meaning of day and light.

Murong Zhan was almost dry, and he waited for Murong Zhan to come, and when a large number of words came out, the more he spent most of the remaining energy, and when he said the end, his voice was faintly inaudible.

Murong Zhan said in fear: "The prince is smart, and he will definitely be able to destroy the crowd." The younger brother is stupid and does not dare to follow His Majesty's orders! Don't mess with orthodoxy! ”

Murong Wei opened his eyes vigorously and said angrily: "Now that the country is in danger, do you and my brothers still need to say these lies and false words?" ”

Murong Zhan said sincerely: "The prince is smart, the king of Hejian is brave and brave, if Your Majesty reuses him, he is willing to work with the king of Hejian to assist the court!" If Your Majesty thinks that the minister even has the ability to bear the heavy responsibility of the world, can't the minister assist the prince? ”

The king of Hejian is Murong Wutai, the third son of Murong Wei. Among Murong Hui's sons, this son is the most courageous.

Murong Wei looked at Murong Zhan for a long time, and said with a smile: "Yuanbao! I know what you want. If you can do your best to assist Yidou family, I don't have to worry! Lying on the couch, he explained to Murong Zhan and Murong Yan, and said, "The right secretary is subordinate to Liu Jibo, and the Qing Fang is Zhongliang; Shan Yu is the right assistant Feng Wenbo, the minister of loyalty. Have a good life. ”

Murong Yan and Murong Zhan respectfully received the order.

Although there are many enemies of the Wei State, when it comes to the great trouble of the henchmen, it is still He Hun evil.

Murong Wei said: "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that the moon turned into a white dragon. Summoned Taishi and other ministers to ask him, and replied with 'month, the minister also; Dragon, Jun also; The moon turns into a dragon, and when there are ministers who plot rebellion and become kings'.

"Before I passed the decree, he summoned the evil to the Hajj, but he couldn't excuse himself. This dog is waiting for me to die! After my death, he will rebel! Do not be in a hurry to give me a funeral, but call him again, and if he still does not come, you may divide your forces and hold the important place. Wait for the dog to rebel, don't fight. Although the dog is rampant, the people who fight are nothing more than the slaves of their own clan, slaughtering Tang and Yi, killing without a system, and they will be chaotic for a long time. When its edge declines, induce its Tang and Yi generals to surrender, and then fight again. Thou shalt be of one heart and one mind, and thou shalt win! ”

Murong Yan, Murong Zhan and the others responded: "Yes." ”

Murong Wei sighed and said: "The majesty of the ancestors, I can't be glorified, but since I succeeded to the throne, the beggar bees have risen like ants, and I have conquered the north and south, and extinguished them; Two breaks and softness, forcing and deterring captives; Occupying Luoyang is not a loss of the reputation of the ancestors! Although the country is restless today, I have a big Wei household registration, and there are nearly 10 million, and there are two Kou; Elite armor rides, the strength of bows and horses, and the Quartet is Mobi!

"Last year, there were swallows nesting in the peppers of the Zhengyang Palace, giving birth to three chicks, with vertical hairs on their necks; In the same month, the city of Van presented different birds, and the five colors became chapters. I asked the ministers, 'What is this auspicious?' The ministers all replied, 'Swallow bird, swallow bird.' I am a big Wei Longxing Yandi, the first has a hair crown, and the crown is also the image of Tianzhangfu; Chao Zhengyang West Pepper, the image of the supreme Linxuan Dynasty of all nations; Those who have three sons should be tested by the three unifications. The five colors of different birds, the holy dynasty will follow the five elements to control the four seas. ’

"This is destiny for me! You and others must slow down everything, don't be in a hurry, wait to destroy He Hun evil, rectify the dynasty, drive Tuoba as a wing, destroy Rong captives first, and not fail to subdue Jiang Zuo, and order unification! ”

Among the countries, most of the densely populated places were under the rule of Wei. A few years ago, Wei conducted a census, and there were 157 counties, 1,579 counties, more than 2.45 million households, and more than 9.98 million mouths. Compared with the population alone, it is indeed almost the sum of the population of Pu Qin and Jiang Zuo.

When Murong Zhan and Murong Wei's sons heard this, they were all in good spirits.

Murong Wei's third son, Murong Wutai, is especially energetic, if he has the ambition to use martial arts.

Murong Wei saw his expression and said: "Go to Jin Mo He, your martial arts are outstanding, but you are short of calm, after I die, you must remember that you must not easily raise troops out of anger, and you must obey the words of your brother and uncle in everything!" In times of crisis, my family has to work together to save the day. We must not cause trouble! Remember, remember! ”

"Go to Jin and wipe He", go to Jin, is the meaning of beauty, wipe He, the meaning of youth, put the two words together, the meaning of beautiful boy. It is the small character of Murong Wutai. Murong Wutai hid his disapproving thoughts and responded, "Yes." ”

Murong Wei set his eyes on the smaller of the sons, and said to Murong Yan, "Ah Liudun is cautious and generous. Yi Dou Dependent, after He Hun rebelled, you can let Ah Liudun go out of Tun Luoyang, and use Yu Rong and Jiangzuo's Tang Er. ”

Ah Liudun, which means gold, is the nickname of Murong Wei's five sons. The name of Murong Wei's five sons is called Murong Quan.

Murong Yan complied with his promise.

Murong Quan's face was sad, tears rolled down, he knelt on the ground, lay on the edge of the collapse, and cried bitterly. While crying, there was an occasional flash of white light between his lips, which was when he was a young man riding a horse hunting, accidentally fell off his horse, and lost a front tooth.

He told Murong Quan to stop crying, looked around at his younger brother and sons, and finally said: "The war in the country has not stopped, the people are in difficulty, and I am dying, it is advisable to follow the old system of the ancestors, and a thin burial is enough." Wait to destroy He Hun evil, and then bury me in Dragon City! ”

Longcheng is the place where the Murong clan arose, so the lords of Wei in all dynasties were buried in Longcheng after their deaths. Just because He Hun evil is a big disaster, he can't distract the energy of the Wei Dynasty's civil and military forces at a critical moment, so Murong Wei specially advised him to bury him after he is destroyed.

Murong Wei raised his arms with difficulty, slowly stroked his chest, arms, and shoulders, and the seven or eight wounds left by the war in the past, and muttered: "Although I am not good, I have been in the throne for thirty years, and I have ruled the country in chaos, and I have not dared to slack off, and I will return my soul to Daxianbei Mountain!" It's about being worthy of seeing my father, ancestors, and ancestors, right? The words were dumbfounded, and the breath was cut off.

Murong Zhan and Murong Wei cried loudly.
