Chapter 31: Sucking Blood and Picking Teeth

In October 354 AD, the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian's crown prince Fu Chang had been in the defense of Huan Wen's Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, lost his body, and as a result, arrow sores recurred and died.

a.d

At the beginning of 355, the ministers saw that Fu Jian's time was running out, so they advised him to consider the matter of the crown prince, Fu Jian was obsessed with divination, and at that time there were three sheep and five eyes in the popular folk proverbs, Fu Jian suspected that his one-eyed son Fu Sheng should respond to the prophecy, so he announced the edict and established Fu Sheng as the crown prince.

Knowing that the son is not as good as the father, Fu Jian knows that Fu Sheng was born blind, his heart is distorted, and he is afraid that he will give birth to disasters, so he is appointed by Prime Minister Lei Xiao'er, Minister Duan Chun and other eight ministers to assist the government, however, Fu Jian is also worried about Fu Sheng's cruelty and greed, worried that Ran Min will kill the descendants of the Shi family, and when he was dying, he took Fu Sheng's hand and instructed: "Guanzhong Qiang, the commanders and ministers in power, if they do not obey the edict, they can be gradually eliminated." ”

Fu Sheng said yes indifferently.

Three days later, Fu Jian passed away, and Fu Sheng succeeded to the throne on the same day, but Fu Sheng was also a person who did not understand etiquette, and he wanted to change the yuan on the day of his succession. The ministers advised one after another: "The first emperor has just been driving, and he should not change the yuan on the same day." ”

When Fu Sheng heard this, he was furious, retreated from the ministers, remembered his father's last words, and ordered the ministers Zhao Shao and Zhao Zhi to investigate the responsibility of taking the lead in advising the minister Duan Chun, Zhao Shao and Zhao Zhi did not know the advice, but instead stepped forward and rebelled, ordered someone to arrest Duan Chun, snared the crime, and executed him. Fu Sheng's character of killing and killing is beginning to emerge.

One day, Fu Sheng was hunting in the suburbs of Chang'an, and suddenly saw a woman in filial piety clothes kneeling beside the road, Fu Sheng was displeased, and asked what was going on, Mrs. said: "The concubine is the wife of the general Qiang Huai, Qiang Huai sacrificed his life for the country, his son was not rewarded, the emperor has collapsed, and he wants to ask for the seal for the dog." ”

Fu Sheng was furious and said: "What merit does Ruzi have, dare to come and ask for the seal?" ”

The woman cried: "The concubine was strong and died in battle with the Jin army, and she was not beneficial. Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne, pardoned prisoners, rewarded soldiers, and now heard that Your Majesty is traveling, and I have come to ask for mercy. ”

Fu Sheng scolded: "To whom is the reward, I make my own decision, is it that you come to ask for it in vain? ”

The woman still did not know how to advance or retreat, and she still fell on the ground, crying for the martyrdom of her dead husband. Fu Sheng was furious, took a bow and an arrow, killed the woman with an arrow, and walked away.

Fu Sheng shot hunting, returned with a full load, very happy, and ordered to summon the ministers for the evening banquet, on the banquet, the minister of Fu Sheng, Xin Lao, was the wine supervisor, and ordered: "Drink hard today, don't get drunk and don't return."

When the ministers heard this, they drank until they were all drunk, but Fu Sheng had a good wine, but he was still not happy, and he still ordered to pour wine. Fu Sheng was furious and said, "Why do you advise you to drink and slack off, and you don't see me still drinking."

After speaking, he had already taken the bow and arrow in his hand, and shot Xin Jian to death with an arrow. The ministers were so frightened that they had to drink strongly, and finally they all lay drunk on the ground, losing their crowns and spreading filth. When Fu Sheng saw this, he laughed instead, and then drank a few large glasses in a row, feeling that he was no longer strong enough to drink, and then turned back to the dormitory. Only then did the ministers let out a long sigh and staggered away.

Auxiliary Minister Prime Minister Lei Wan'er is upright and outspoken, often because Fu Sheng is addicted to alcohol and killing, ignoring the government and admonishing him, Fu Sheng was extremely impatient at first, and later he was even more furious, and ordered the ministers Zhao Shao and Zhao Yu to fabricate charges and kill Lei Shao's entire family. There was no longer a voice of persuasion from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Lei weaker was killed, Fu Sheng was even more unscrupulous, drinking day and night, drunk and wanton killing, because he was born with one eye, the most taboo "insufficient", "not have", "less", "none", "missing", "injured", "disabled", "ruined", "partial" and other words, if the wife and concubine servants accidentally said the relevant words, Fu Sheng suddenly felt ridiculed, and the person who said it was tortured and killed. Its attendants and guards were even more abused and killed, and there were countless of them.

The ministers often waited until it was dark, and they did not see Fu Sheng enter the court, but the ministers also knew that Fu Sheng went to the court, and they did not know how many people were killed. So much so that whenever Fu Sheng is not in the court, the ministers congratulate each other and smile happily.

Fu Sheng's tyranny not only put everyone in danger in the former Qin courtiers, but also made the innocent people even more miserable.

At that time, the counties along the way from Tongguan to Chang'an, tigers and wolves became plagues and ate people. Since Fu Sheng ascended the throne, wild beasts have been rampant for more than a year, killing more than 700 people, and the people are deeply miserable, and they all enter the city and dare not cultivate. The local officials played Fu Sheng and asked the emperor to send troops to hunt and kill, Fu Sheng smiled and said: "When the beast is hungry, it will naturally eat people, and when it is full, it will no longer eat, how can it be said that it is a disaster." Why worry about the people. Heaven punishes the people like this, because the people are guilty, and the tiger and wolf are sent to cheer for me, why complain about heaven and people! ”

The ministers were all stunned and speechless. Such a disaster of beasts, Fu Sheng is still like this, drought and locust plague and other greater disasters, Fu Sheng is even more unlikely to provide disaster relief, it is conceivable that the survival of the people of the former Qin Dynasty, what is the guarantee.

Former Qin just got a respite from the war, and as a result, under the brutal rule of Fu Sheng, the crisis was four serving, at this time its eastern neighbor Qianyan, under the careful governance of Murong Jun, gradually the country became rich and the people were strong, Murong Jun was even more confident, and ordered ten households to draw one, gather heavy troops, accumulate grain and grass, and plot the world.

If you know whether Qianqin, who is in danger of being tired of eggs, will survive in a desperate situation, and whether Murong Jun's great cause can succeed, look at the next chapter.
