After the destruction of the country, there was a flame left behind - Tuoba's widow, Tuoba, who was only six years old when the country was destroyed.
It is recorded that:
Fu Jian planned to move Emperor Daowu Tuoba to Chang'an. Yan Feng considered that Emperor Daowu was young and weak, and repeatedly pleaded with Fu Jian: "The acting lord has collapsed, the courtiers have either left or rebelled, and the grandson left behind is young and has no capable person to assist. Liu Kuren, the lord of other tribes in his country, is brave and strategic, and Tie Fu Weichen is cunning, and they can't let them take power alone. Subordinates should be divided into two parts and given their own command. The two have always had a deep enmity, and this time the forces are balanced, and no one can attack first, which can be said to be the best strategy to defend against border troubles! When the grandson of the king grows up, he will save the country and make him the king, which is the great grace of His Majesty to the restoration of the fallen country! Fu Jian agreed, and Yan Feng immediately returned to Daiguo.
I feel that this record is not true, and the previous ones are okay to understand, but what is said in the back is that the country will be restored, Fu Jian's brain will only let the country be reestablished if it is, and then come to grab the world with himself. In short, I didn't understand what Fu Jian thought, so he didn't kill Tuoba Jue, and handed him and his mother Helan to Liu Kuren.
Not only did he not kill Tuoba, but he didn't even kill Shiyiqian's other children and grandchildren who were still alive.
Liu Kuren, whose real name is Dugu Wugen, is a native of the Xianbei Dugu Division, as mentioned earlier, he is Shi Yiqian's nephew.
This person, in historical records, is a very loyal person, Liu Kuren devoted himself to the loyal service of Tuoba Jue's mother and son, did not change the temperament with waste, appeased and accepted the exiled people, and was very famous for his kindness and faithfulness. With such a person, Tuoba's mother and son are living a good life.
Hyun often sent something to Tuoba Jue's mother and son in the name of Ningzhen, of course, it is impossible to miss Liu Kuren, everyone thinks that she values love and righteousness, and after Shi Yiqian dies, she can still care about Tuoba Jue.
Hyun hid and hid in Le Zhengyuan's yard, Le Zhengyuan called Wang Bi too, and the three of them drank wine and chatted.
As he spoke, he talked about Tuoba.
Wang Bi asked:
"Master Zhuo, give us an explanation, why is it so good to Tuoba Jue's mother and son?"
Hyun raised his glass and said:
"The master values love and righteousness, and takes care of Shi Yiqian's grandson."
Wang Bi waved his hand:
"You come less! Fu Jian didn't kill all the children and grandchildren of Shi Yiqian, there are more children and grandchildren who have survived, why don't you see that you are good to others? ”
Le Zhengyuan answered:
"That is, the father is the father, the son is the son, you are very clear, how can you be so good to strangers you have never met? People don't know you, but we know you well. ”
Hyun looked at them and sighed, and said with a pretense of melancholy:
"Can't you think it's as it was rumored? Anyway, let me be a good person. ”
Seeing that the two of them not only didn't connect, but also had a posture that you can't do if you don't say anything, so I had to say:
"People will become strong in the tribulation, become hard, will do everything to survive, Tuoba Jue lost his father at a young age, and then broke the country, this experience is destined for him to suffer more in the future, and he is still the son of the crown prince Tuoba Wei, I think the hope of the future generations of the country is in him, so I am now showing favor in advance for Kun Yuguo."
The two were stunned when they listened, and Le Zhengyuan asked:
"You're betting on it, what if you lose?"
Hyun swallowed the wine in his mouth and said:
"If you lose, you lose, the big deal is to lose some materials, and there is no loss to Kun Yuguo, but what if you win?"
The two of them quickly calculated in their minds that if they win, the benefits to Kun Yuguo would not be comparable to those materials.
was calculating the gains and losses, the servant came to report that King Yi was coming, Hyun was like a spring on the soles of his feet, he jumped up and ran into the house, and jumped back halfway through the run to put his dishes, chopsticks, and wine glasses in his sleeves, turned around and jumped into the house again, making the two laugh loudly.
Wang Bi wiped his tears and said:
"It's really a thing for a thing."
As soon as the words fell, Ning's figure appeared in the field of vision.
Ningyun couldn't find Hyun anywhere, it was estimated that he was at Le Zhengyuan or Wang Bi, so he looked for it, but there were only two of them, but it was already here and it was not good to leave immediately, in Le Zhengyuan's greeting, he had to sit down, and Le Zhengyuan ordered to add some wine and food.
Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, was a good emperor who worked hard.
The grassland people do not have a legal system, as I have said several times before, the grassland tribes rely on trust, and the people and ministers also rely on trust, and the tribal chief rules a tribe by personal charm, but in the Central Plains it is different, it is to rule a country, although personal charm also has a certain proportion, but compared with the grassland, this proportion is much lighter.
During Fu Jian's reign, there was a very important person - Prime Minister Wang Meng.
When Huan Wen attacked Qin and attacked Ba Shang, Wang Meng had a meeting with Huan Wen, and when Huan Wen withdrew, he wanted Wang Meng to go with him, probably promising the benefits of a river beach, but Wang Meng refused, saying: "I can't work with Huan Wen in one place, I can be rich here, why travel far." ”
Judging from the later developments, Wang Meng's refusal at that time was correct.
Huan Wen's historical evaluation seems to be good, but the bear dislikes this person very much, like a-stirring stick. These battles he fought were not fought for the Jin family, but only to increase his prestige with the help of these battles, as can be seen from Wang Meng's conversation with him:
Huan Wen asked Wang Meng: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to fight against the rebels and eliminate the harm for the people, but no one from the Three Qin Haojie came, what is the reason for this?" ”
Wang Meng replied bluntly:
"You are not far away to go deep into the north, but Chang'an City is close at hand, and you don't cross the Bashui to take it down, and people can't figure out your thoughts, so they won't come."
Huan Wen's mind is that he can only get a false name by restoring Guanzhong, and the territory is going to fall to the Jin court, rather than consuming strength and losing the advantage of competing with the imperial court, it is better to keep the enemy and respect himself.
Therefore, the places he fought were all lost after the front foot was beaten, because this was not what he wanted, but on the surface, he laid down many places, used the country's resources, and established many merits for himself, and in his later years, he supported the army and respected himself, deposed the emperor, and even forced the court to accept his nine tins, so as to seize power.
These are also used to by the imperial court.
During the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (343), the imperial court took Huan Wen as the vanguard of the small governor and the false festival, and asked him to lead his troops to guard Linhuai (now Xuyi, Jiangsu) to assist Jingzhou in the Northern Expedition of Shi Yuyi. In October of the same year, Huan Wen was promoted to the post of Xuzhou Assassin, and supervised the military of Qingxu and Yan. He was good friends with Yu Yi and once made an appointment to help the world together.
said this, but I don't know how to calculate it in my heart, people like Huan Wen don't believe that he can have the mind to help the world with others.
Later, Yu Yi died of illness, and before he died, he asked his son Yu Zhanzhi to take over Jingzhou, but He Chong, the assistant minister, recommended Huan Wen. Danyang Yin Liu Yi thought that Huan Wen was indeed a genius, but he also had ambitions, and he could not let him master the Jingzhou shaped land. He suggested that Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, take Jingzhou by himself, but Sima Yu refused to accept it.
Who is Sima Yu? Emperor Jian Wen, the eighth emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he had not yet become an emperor at this time, but he also saw Huan Wen's ambition and recommended Yin Hao and other celebrities to assist the government, in order to fight against the increasingly authoritarian Huan Wen.
However, I don't know if Sima Yu's vision is too poor, or Yin Hao is too wasteful, not only did he not help Sima Yu, but because of the Northern Expedition, he was abolished by Huan Wen.
However, judging from Sima Yu's refusal, Huan Wen at that time could make a royal family fearful, and he may already have a lot of power.
So in August of the same year, Huan Wen was promoted to the general of Anxi, the assassin of Jingzhou, the governor of Jingsi, Yongyi, Liangning, and the military of the six states, and led the captain of the Nanban school, and mastered the military power in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
After Pingshu, the imperial court rewarded Pingshu's merits, and wanted to seal Huan Wen as the prince of Yuzhang County, but was persuaded by Shangshu Zuo Cheng Xun Rui. In the end, Huan Wen was named the general of the expedition to the west, the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, and the prince of Linhe County.
Huan Wen's power has gradually emerged, Sima Yu has invited foreign aid to curb his power, and the imperial court actually wants to crown him as the prince of Yuzhang, I really don't know what to think.
At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were many opinions on how to feudalize, among which Liu Song, an official and legal scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, said when discussing the pros and cons of feudalism:
"If the state has a minister, it will be safe, and if there are important ministers, it will be chaotic. If the roots of the country are not deep, and there is no solid supplement, the so-called ministers will become important ministers. ”
What do you mean? In other words, when the country has a minister who can appoint him, it is stable, but when the country has a powerful minister, it will fall into chaos. Soon after the establishment of the country (here referring to the Western Jin Dynasty), the foundation is not deep, and there is no person who can take on important responsibilities to strengthen its foundation, at this time, the so-called ministers will be transformed into important ministers.
Lu Simian also pointed out that the reason for the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" in the Western Jin Dynasty was not the adoption of the actual feudal system, but because the appointment of the kings of the clan was too heavy.
In dealing with the affairs of Huan Wen, the Eastern Jin Dynasty developed Ren Chen into an important minister.
In addition to Huan Wen, there is no one to appoint in the DPRK, and the reputation and prestige are gradually concentrated on Huan Wen, and Huan Wen himself has ambitions, and now since the external conditions are gradually maturing, how can there be any reason not to be in power?
After that, Huan Wen took advantage of Yin Hao's failure in the Northern Expedition to impeach him, forcing the imperial court to abolish Yin Hao as a "Shu Ren".
After that, Huan Wen carried out three northern expeditions:
A battle of the former Qin, this has been talked about before, so I won't repeat it here.
Second, Yao Xiang. Yao Xiang is the son of the aforementioned Yao Gezhong and the elder brother of Yao Chang, who founded Later Qin.
At first, he returned to Zhao with his father, and after his father's death, he returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. was squeezed out by Yin Hao and led his troops to return north, Huan Wen was to attack Yao Xiang for this matter and break it.
not only defeated Yao Xiang, but also recovered Luoyang, so that Huan Wen's power was further expanded.
The imperial court was afraid, and on the grounds that Jiaozhou and Guangzhou were remote, Huan Wen was dismissed as the governor of Jiaoguang and Guangzhou, and he was reappointed as the governor of the capital, the division, and the military of the three states of Hebei, but Huan Wen resigned, and later named Huan Wen as the pastor of Yangzhou, and called him to participate in politics. Huan Wen excused himself on the grounds that the Central Plains had not yet recovered, and then resigned from the post of Lu Shang Shushi, and only led Yangzhou Mu from afar.
Look, Huan Wen is also very smart and rejects all possibilities that may be bound by the imperial court.
After he captured Luoyang, he soon flashed people, borrowed the resources of the Jin room to gain fame, how to care about the territory of the Jin room, and the recovered Sili, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places fell again.
was ready to go on another northern expedition, but it was abandoned because Emperor Jin Ai died.
Three before the felling of the swallow.
Xi Chao suggested that Huan Wen should lead the whole army to attack Yecheng, the capital of the former Yan State, or stick to the river, control the Cao Yun, and save food until next summer before continuing the attack. He believed that if the war was not resolved quickly, when the war dragged on until autumn and winter, it would be more difficult for the Jin army to maintain under the objective conditions of reduced water volume and early cooling in the north.
Maybe Huan Wen is conceited, at this time Huan Wen's power has become bigger, and he feels that he is such a bullish person, he doesn't need to listen to other people's advice, no matter what the reason, Huan Wen didn't listen.
In the end, as Xi Chao said, the war dragged on until the autumn, and Huan Wen and them never opened the Shimen waterway, which led to the exhaustion of the Jin army's military rations and the withdrawal of Huan Wen.
However, the former Yan Meng led Murong Chui to chase after him with 8,000 cavalry, and Huan Wen was defeated.
After the defeat, Huan Wen put all the responsibility on Yuan Zhen, who was ordered to open the Shimen Waterway, and the court not only did not dare to blame Huan Wen, but also sent condolence wine.
Of course, Yuan Zhen was not convinced, according to Shouchun (now southwest of Shou County, Anhui), he rebelled, and secretly colluded with Former Qin and Former Yan. After Yuan Zhen died of illness, his son Yuan Jin was supported, and Qianyan and Qianqin also sent reinforcements.
However, Shouchun was still defeated, and Huan Wen captured Yuan Jin and sent Yuan Jin, Zhu Fu and dozens of their clans to Jiankang to be beheaded. Yuan Jin's wife and daughter were rewarded with soldiers, and the hundreds of beggars he served were buried alive.
I really feel sorry for the Yuan father and son, what is wrong with them? Huan Wen treated their father and son, family members, and subordinates so cruelly, I really don't understand what the praise of Huan Wen in history is based on.
Since then, Yuzhou has completely fallen into the hands of Huan Wen. Huan Wen has the key to enter Jiankang.
That is to say, after Huan Wen seized Shouchun, he placed a sharp sword on the side of the couch in the Jin room.
From the battle of Shouchun, it can also be seen that Huan Wen spares no effort to seize the place that is beneficial to him.
Huan Wen originally wanted to launch the Northern Expedition, hoping to establish meritorious deeds first, and then return to the dynasty to accept Jiuxi, and then seize power. However, due to the failure of the Third Northern Expedition, his prestige was greatly reduced, and the plot failed.
So, come the hard one.
After the Battle of Shouchun, Huan Wen directly led troops into the court and coerced Empress Dowager Chu to abolish Sima Yi's throne. He falsely claimed that Sima Yi could not have children due to impotence, and let his favorite ministers Xianglong, Ji Hao, Zhu Jiongbao and others have fornication with the harem beauties, and the three sons born will pretend to be the prince and build the prince as the king. Empress Dowager Chu had to gather hundreds of officials in the court and issue an edict to depose Sima Yi as the king of the East China Sea. After that, Huan Wen personally led hundreds of officials to the residence of the king of Huiji, welcomed Sima Yu into the court, and supported him as the emperor, which was for Emperor Jianwen of Jin, and changed to Xian'an.
