Chapter 35 Lao Ji Fu Fang

At the beginning of 360 A.D., the former Yan Emperor's uncle Murong Ke took charge of the government, assisted the young emperor Murong Wei, who was less than 11 years old, to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.

However, Emperor Murong Wei was too young after all, and Mu Yugen, the general of the court, believed that he had outstanding military achievements, and he also wanted to learn from Ran Min to replace Hou Zhao.

Mu Yugen knew that his prestige and power were not as good as Murong Ke, but he also knew that the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun was from a humble background and had a strong desire for power, so he repeatedly instigated the Empress Dowager to directly interfere in politics to provoke discord between the Empress Dowager and Murong Ke, so that whenever there was a major event in the court, the Empress Dowager Zuhun would disagree with Murong Ke.

One day, Mu Yugen came to Murong Ke's palace on the pretext of the reason, and said to Murong Ke: "Now the prince is presiding over the government, holding great power, and doing his best to assist the young lord, but the queen mother does not know the prince's painstaking efforts, but whenever she encounters a major event, she often makes things difficult and harshly criticizes the prince. ”

Murong Ke was shocked, shook his head again and again, and said: "This king is entrusted by the emperor's brother and is willing to assist the emperor, even if he is ruined, he will not hesitate to say anything, and if he wants to talk nonsense, this king will not be forgiven!" ”。

Mu Yugen was bored with himself, so he had to leave in a huff.

Murong Ke's younger brother Murong Chui, when he heard this, said to Murong Ke: "Mu Yugen doesn't want to support Brother Wang, but he wants to stand on his own!" Can Brother Wang believe that he has hit a wall here, and he will inevitably go to the Queen Mother's palace to slander and frame Brother Wang. Brother Wang should immediately send troops to behead Mu Yugen to show the public. ”

Murong Ke groaned: "For my brother, I also know that he separates the relationship between the mother and son of the Queen Mother and my brother, and let us kill each other, which is good for the benefit of fishermen, but the first emperor has just died, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, and now he is killing the generals of the court, which is not good for the court!" We are careful not to compete with them for a while. ”

Murong Chui exclaimed: "Brother Wang is really an elder, the country is hopeful!" ”

Mu Yugen saw that Murong Ke could not succeed, so he took the opportunity to enter the palace and said to the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun : "Murong Ke is in power, and he has long had a bad heart, and now the Queen Mother is orphaned and widowed, and she must be subject to Murong Ke, the Queen Mother can first make a decree to remove Murong Ke from the right to assist the government, and the ministers will definitely contact the court and invite the emperor collectively, let the Queen Mother listen to the government, and then choose the opportunity to kill Murong Ke!" ”

But the Empress Dowager Zuhun naturally wanted to seize power, and was overjoyed when she heard it, and was preparing to draft a decree, but it happened that Emperor Murong Wei came to visit the Empress Dowager's palace, and when she knew about it, she hurriedly persuaded: "The queen mother must not, if the imperial uncle wants to stand on his own, why let the child succeed to the throne?" Now seize the power in his hands, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the DPRK, and my throne will not be guaranteed! ”

The queen mother was also abrupt at this time, so she stopped writing and reprimanded Mu Yugen, who had no choice but to leave the palace.

Mu Yugen saw that the plan was a complete failure, knowing that at this time, he could not gain a foothold in the court, so he did not stop doing two things, seeking self-reliance, because his subordinates were stationed in the old capital Longcheng (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), and the power in Yecheng was weak, Mu Yugen listed the advantages of the old capital Longcheng, and asked the emperor to return the capital.

When Murong Ke heard this, he knew that he was poor and had a dagger, and immediately united with Murong Ping and other grandmasters and kings to kill Mu Yugen and his henchmen.

Mu Yugen was killed, the former Yan Dynasty was shaken, and the soldiers who were originally recruited from various counties were afraid of chaos, and there were many escapers. In order to stabilize the situation, Murong Ke spoke and behaved as usual, and the palace was not guarded, and ordered his younger brother Murong Chui to garrison Litai in Nanzhen (now Shangqiu, Henan) to pacify and take in the fleeing soldiers, and finally made the former Yan stable as usual. After years of painstaking management by Murong Ke, the national strength of Qianyan far surpassed that of Guanzhong Qianqin, Jiangnan and Eastern Jin, and Murong Ke wanted to complete the legacy of his imperial brother Murong Jun.

In February 365, Murong Ke and Murong Chui joined forces to attack Luoyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The next month, the city was broken, and the guard Shen Jin was captured and killed.

Murong Ke took Luoyang as his base camp and took advantage of the victory to seize the former Qin's Kunshan Mountain, Mianchi and other places, and the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian was shocked, personally led a large army to resist, and sent an envoy to save the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Soon, Murong Ke was busy with military affairs, saddle horses were tired, and he became ill from hard work, and heard that the Eastern Jin Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Yecheng and intended to go north, so he immediately led the army to retreat.

At the end of 366 AD, Murong Ke was seriously ill, deeply worried that the emperor Murong Wei had no real power, and the Empress Dowager Ke Zu Hun wanted to interfere in politics, so he often recommended his brother Murong Chui to the emperor Murong Wei to replace himself to assist in the government, but the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun often despised herself because of Murong Chui's wife, and had no good impression of Murong Ke, so she instigated the emperor to reject Murong Ke's performance, and Emperor Murong Wei also knew that Murong Chui had led troops for many years, and his reputation was very high.

At the beginning of 367 AD, Emperor Murong Wei heard that Murong Ke was terminally ill, and visited his palace to inquire about the future. Otherwise, Fu Jian and Huan Wen's generation will definitely attack. ”

Murong Ke died in the end, and he didn't want to, Emperor Murong Wei left angrily, but he still remembered his hard work and gave him a generous funeral reward.
