Chapter 75 Gang often sweeps the floor

In 401 AD, although the Later Yan Emperor Murong Sheng, who had only been on the throne for three years, favored Liaoxi, he saw the decline of the country and believed that he should use heavy codes in troubled times, so he formulated strict punishment laws to control his subordinates, and at the same time led the army to attack and annex the Hu tribes around Liaoxi to stabilize the border of the country. However, after some successes, he became more and more arrogant and brutal, suspicious of his subordinates, and punished them in vain, so that everyone in the court and the central government was in danger.

In August of the same year, the ministers of the Later Yan Dynasty, Duan Ji, Qin Yu and others could not bear the harshness of Emperor Murong Sheng's governance of the country, so they plotted to rebel, but the matter was not confidential and was discovered by Murong Sheng, resulting in the conspiracy to rebel The ministers and their subordinates were killed more than 500 people, and Murong Sheng did not relent, and wanted to continue to search for Duan Ji, Qin Yu and other family members, and sentenced them to heavy punishment, but the sons of the two, Qin Xing and Duan Tai, led the clansmen to enter the palace at night to launch a rebellion, Murong Sheng was defenseless and had to lead his cronies to fight, Qin Xing, Duan Tai and others were in a hurry and quickly dispersed. But suddenly, a family took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack Murong Sheng from behind, Murong Sheng couldn't dodge, hit his feet hard, and the blood did not stop, Qin Xing and Duan Tai also took the opportunity to escape from the palace. Murong Sheng was in pain, and urgently recruited his uncle Murong Xi into the palace to explain the matters behind him, but before Murong Xi arrived, Murong Sheng died of excessive blood loss.

Later Yan Emperor Murong Sheng was killed, and it should have been succeeded by the crown prince Murong Ding, but at a young age, all the ministers went to the table to list the Murong Sheng Empress Ding, who had just entered the queen mother's throne, and recommended Murong Sheng's brother Murong Yuan to succeed him. After Murong Xi succeeded to the throne, he sent troops to search for Qin Xing, Duan Tai and others who had committed chaos and murder of the king, and executed the two and punished their three clans, and the Later Yan Emperor Murong Xi took this opportunity to kill Murong Ding, Murong Yuan and others together, and since then the political situation in Yan has stabilized.

In October 402 AD, Emperor Murong Xi of Later Yan saw that his position was stable, and the Empress Dowager Ding had no use value, so he set up the descendants of the former Qin Fu family women Fu Huan'e and Fu Xunying as concubines, and doted on the Fu sisters, and gradually snubbed the widowed Empress Dowager Ding, the Empress Dowager Ding was extremely resentful of this, so she often cursed Murong Xi, and conspired with her nephew Ding Xin to depose the throne of Emperor Murong Xi, Murong Xi had already installed cronies around the Empress Dowager Ding, and learned of her conspiracy with Ding Xin, so he led troops into the palace and forced the Empress Dowager Ding to commit suicide, Soon after, Ding Xin and others were killed.

At this time, the Houyan Emperor Murong Xi was in power, and vigorously suppressed the court's vassals, because of his favorite Fu family's two daughters who loved to play, Murong Xi ordered the requisition of the people, the construction of a large number of buildings, the construction of palaces and gardens, the Hou Yan ministers had those who admonished, all of them were punished, for a time, the suburbs of Longcheng, the capital of Houyan, were lined with pavilions and pavilions, and the people of western Liaoning were miserable.

Two years later, Fu Huan'e died of illness, and the Later Yan Emperor Murong Xi was even more fond of Fu Xunying, canonizing him as the queen, and Murong Xi would listen to his opinions and make a decision, and even led the troops to fight with Fu Xunying, and obeyed Fu Xunying's words, so that when he conquered Khitan and Goguryeo, he always encountered a big defeat, and the Houyan soldiers were killed and injured countless times. Because the Later Yan Emperor Murong Xi was obedient to Empress Fu Xunying, and punished his ministers excessively, he finally made the monarch and ministers deviate from morality.

In the summer of 407 AD, Empress Fu Xunying died, and Emperor Murong Xi beat his chest and feet, such as mourning, touching the corpse, crying and fainting, and waking up for a long time. During the queen's funeral, Murong Xi wore mourning porridge, and ordered his subordinates to cry and cry, those who shed tears were rewarded, and those who did not have tears were punished. Murong Xi disregarded human ethics so much that he acted perversely, and finally sent himself to the grave.

The Later Yan generals Feng Ba and Feng Sufu had been convicted and fled into the mountains near Longcheng, and when they heard that the Later Yan Emperor Murong Xi was so absurd, they gathered the people who fled into the mountains to prepare for the incident because they were fleeing heavy labor.

Feng Ba was afraid that he would be weak, so he secretly infiltrated Dragon City, found Murong Bao's adopted son Murong Yun, who had been an old friend of him, and promised to support him as emperor and invite him to act together. Murong Yun was originally surnamed Gao, had a cowardly personality, and was afraid that he was not of Murong blood, so he was unwilling to participate in Feng Ba's affairs, but Feng Ba repeatedly advised, and Murong Yun reluctantly agreed.

Soon, the Later Yan Emperor Murong Xi personally escorted the coffin of Empress Fu Xunying out of the city for burial, and Murong Yun took the opportunity to welcome the Feng Bao brothers into the city, and closed the city gates, freed the prisoners, and prepared for the move. Murong Xi returned to the city, saw the great changes in the city, and led the troops to attack, but his soldiers had no fighting spirit, but were defeated by the rabble led by Feng Ba, Murong Xi was defeated and killed, Feng Ba kept his promise, supported Murong Yun to inherit the throne of Houyan, Murong Yun was weak and sick, so he ordered Feng Ba to preside over the state affairs.

In 409 AD, after the Houyan Emperor Murong Yun ascended the throne, he was still not confident, and often rewarded the palace guards to show his kindness, but his personal guards left the class, Taoren was insatiable, and always thought that the emperor's reward was uneven, so he was resentful, so he took the opportunity to assassinate Murong Yun, and Feng Bade, who presided over the state affairs, repaid him, led the troops into the palace, and killed the departure and Taoren, and his subordinates supported Feng Ba to be called the king of Yan, known as Beiyan in history. Since then, Yan has perished, from Murong Chui to the king of Yan to Murong Yun being assassinated, enjoying the country for 25 years.

The Yan country built by the Xianbei Murong Department in the Central Plains, at this time there was only one country of Southern Yan, but the Southern Yan country was weak, although it was founded in the land of Qilu, but there were Northern Wei in the north, Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south, and Later Qin in the west, and the living environment was extremely bad.
