Former Yan, directly perished in the invasion of Former Qin; Qianyan was even more perished by the internal strife of the royal family of the Murong family. The death knell of the country sounded at the moment of Murong Ke's death.

When Ke'er was about to die, he had a clear explanation to the ministers in charge of the former Yan's succession: "King Wu (Murong Chui) is talented and heroic, and he has overtime,...... After I am finished, I will give it to him. (Book of Jin).

Unfortunately, the dead do not deserve to be the home of the living. After Murong Ke's death, Murong Ping took the opportunity to ascend to the throne and fully controlled the military and political power of Qianyan. And Murong Chui hung up a few false titles, was idle at home, and was squeezed out of the center of power. It wasn't until the Northern Expedition of Huanwen and the country was in danger that Murong Chui had the opportunity to come to the forefront. The lord of salvation and help the needy, rising when the building is about to fall, Murong Chui's life is also lucky!

After becoming the chief minister, due to the lack of Murong Ke's moderation, Murong Ping's greedy nature was undoubtedly exposed, "the official is not talented, and the group is resentful". But the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Murong Wei are even more poor and extravagant, "There are more than 4,000 daughters in the harem, and the servants are still outside, and the cost of one day is ten thousand gold." "The former Yan country is declining, the people are poor, the bandits are abundant, and the discipline is disorderly. Shangshu Zuo Cheng Shen Shao wrote a letter suggesting to eradicate the ills, but Lord Yan ignored them. The servant shot Yuewan to implement the reform, and more than 200,000 hidden households were released, but it touched the interests of Murong Ping and other powerful people, "looking for thieves and killing them" ("Book of Jin").

He who has the world on his lips is many; There are very few people who have the world in their hearts. Those with vested interests desperately protect their own cakes, and whoever touches them will perish! Reformers throughout the ages, whether successful or not, have probably not come to a good end. Yuewan is not the first, let alone the last.

During that period, Murong Chui had the talent to help the world and the state, and there was no way to serve the country. In the face of Qianyan's increasingly erosive situation, even discussing strategies to save the country was limited to discussing in private, and giving up, you can imagine the helplessness of Murong Chui's situation at that time.

Originally, it was called Murong Ba, but because it needed to be suppressed, it changed its name to "Hang".

Of course, the grievances between Murong Jun and Murong Trai are by no means as simple as changing a name.

The deeper contradiction originated from the woman of the Murong family.

Murong Chui's daughter-in-law is the daughter of Duan Moqi, the leader of the Xianbei Duan, who is noble, talented, fierce, and arrogant, and in the process of getting along with the queen Kezu Hun, the aristocratic temperament revealed from time to time often touches the humility hidden in the heart of Ke Zuhun, and the two sides are quite discordant, but Zuhun hates it deeply.

In 358, in order to put the Duan clan to death, the Zuhun clan ordered his subordinates to falsely accuse the Duan clan and Wu Guodian Shuling Gao Bi for the crime of witchcraft, and Murong Jun, who had always been dissatisfied with Murong Trai, also wanted to take this opportunity to implicate Murong Trai.

Witch Gu, a product of feudal superstition, originated in ancient times, has a long history, including curses, shooting puppets (puppets are tired of winning) and poisonous Gu, etc., which are quite marketable in ancient times, Jiang Ziya once used witchcraft to make our "God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming ascend to heaven. In the feudal royal family, once witchcraft is discovered, it basically belongs to the responsibility of whoever is implicated in death, and it will never be tolerated, and it will never be spared. For example, in the witch Gu incident during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of people died, including the crown prince Liu Ju and the empress Wei Zifu, and later, the initiator named Jiang Chong was also included.

The butcher's knife is held high, waiting only to kill and kill all those involved.

Duan and Gao Bi, who were arrested and imprisoned, were severely tortured, but the two "had a certain ambition and never gave up" ("The Book of Jin: The Records of Murong Chui").

At that time, Murong Chui had already given up hope of life, and secretly sent someone to tell the Duan family: "Life will be a death, how can it be so poisonous!" It's better to be convinced. Duan sighed and said, "How can I love the dead!" If you accuse yourself of being wicked and disobedient, insulting your ancestors, and burdening the king, you will not do anything! ("Book of Jin: Murong Chui Ji"). The arrogant Duan was eventually tortured to death, while Murong Trai survived.

This is a political incident led by the empress, connived by the emperor, and used false accusations as a means to fabricate charges in an attempt to frame important ministers of the imperial court, and finally ended due to Duan's death. Murong Chui suffered a flying disaster, and his wife died, and the bad relationship between him and the Kezuhun clan can be imagined.

Later, Murong Chui, who had a deep relationship with the Duan family, took Duan's sister as his successor. Later, the Kezuhun clan deposed the Duan clan and married his sister to Murong Chui as his wife. Later, due to the discordant relationship between husband and wife, the Zuhun clan hated Murong Trai even more. Later, later, Murong Chui ascended the throne of Kaiyuan, recovered Dayan, and finally took Duan's sister as the queen. Ten years of life and death, after the vicissitudes of life, it is still unforgettable.

This is the case, at that time, it was completely reasonable for Murong Chui to fall into power.

Even if Murong Ke recommended him on his deathbed, even if Murong Chui was "talented and heroic, and he was slightly overtimed", under the manipulation of the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and Murong Ping, Murong Chui had no choice.

The victory in the Battle of Fangtou gave Murong Trai the opportunity to move to the political center, but after the bloody battle was completed, Murong Trai did not receive corresponding praise. On the contrary, Murong Ping, the minister in charge, was jealous and hateful of him, and suppressed Murong Chui's declaration to reward the generals under his command. The two immediately had a dispute, and the relationship deteriorated, but the Zuhun clan took the opportunity to unite with Murong Ping and wanted to kill Murong Trai.

Those who bravely shake the Lord are in danger, and those who cover the world are not rewarded.

In later generations, Tan Daoji, who was also a famous general, with the same outstanding achievements, and who was also wronged, made the most vivid and accurate definition of such a thing: "It is the Great Wall of You!" ”

This is the fate of those who have contributed greatly to the country.

After learning of Murong Ping's conspiracy and Ke Zuhun clan, Murong Chui categorically rejected the suggestion of Murong Ke's son Murong Kai and his uncle Lan Jian to "strike first", although it was easy for Murong Chui to launch a coup d'état to seize power at that time. However, due to the hardships of his father and brother to start a foundation and establish a business, Murong Chui was unwilling to kill each other and cause the country to fall, "I must not fill the gaps, I would rather avoid them, and the rest is not discussed" ("Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 102").

After defending the motherland and the people, the country has no place for him, but needs to flee in exchange for a glimmer of life.

In November 369, just two months after defeating Huan Wen, Murong Chui fled Yecheng under the pretext of hunting.

The original plan was to flee to the old capital of Longcheng, because the prince Murong Ling thought that in that place in Longcheng, Jin could be the "Duke of Zhou", waiting for Murong Wei to repent and continue to shine for the Great Yan Kingdom, without losing the righteousness; Retreat can guard one side and protect the whole body. However, on the way to escape, he was betrayed by another son, Murong Lin, and had to turn back to the west and defect to Former Qin through Luoyang. The entourage were: Mrs. Duan, her son Murong Ling, Murong Bao, Murong Nong, Murong Long, nephew Murong Kai, uncle Lan Jian, and Lang Zhongling Gao Bi. As for his main wife, the sister of the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun, she was abandoned in Yecheng by Murong Trai without hesitation.

She is a beautiful woman, but she is involved in the whirlpool of politics.

Please remember the names of Murong Ling and Murong Lin. One is the best talent in the next generation of the Murong family, and the direct planner and implementer of Murong Chui's successful escape. One is Murong Trai's least favorite son, who betrayed his father and killed his brother, and later, in the key decisive battle between Hou Yan and the Northern Wei Dynasty, he buried tens of thousands of elites due to his own selfish desires, which ruined the good fortune that Murong Trai had worked so hard to manage.

"Weizi ran to Zhou and Shang died, Yu ran to Qin and was destroyed, Wu Xu ran to Wu and Chu was overturned. Since the heroes have died and are willing to be used by the enemy, they will inevitably lead to the loss of the motherland, and Murong Chui's run to Qin is also the same. ("Romance of the Two Jins").

There is no doubt that Murong Chui's stay determines Qianyan's life and death. Although the authorities of Yan do not think so.

The courtiers who were abandoned by Qianyan received an unprecedentedly warm welcome from Qianqin. Fu Jian was overjoyed when he heard that Murong was coming, and personally went to the suburbs to greet him, holding his hand and saying: "Born virtuous, they will work together to achieve great success, and this natural number is also." It is necessary to set the world with Qing, sue Daizong, and then return to Qing's state, and seal Youzhou, so that Qing can go to the country without losing the filial piety of his son, and return to me without losing the loyalty of the king, which is also beautiful! (Zizhi Tongjian, Vol. 102).

Sergeant Guan heard the name of Murong Chui's father and son, and they all admired him. All of a sudden, Chang'an City was empty because of Murong Chui's arrival, and people rushed to see what kind of character this hero who could beat Huan Wen to the bust, and the topic of discussion after tea and dinner across the country finally shifted from the famous minister Wang Meng to the famous general Murong Chui.

There are still calm people behind the warm welcome, such as Wang Meng, this is a figure who is said to be no less talented than Zhuge Liang, although he does not have the habit of lupine scarf, but he still maintains a sober brain, and objectively and accurately analyzes this "familiar stranger".

"Murong Chui, Yan's relatives, Shixiong Dongxia, generous benevolence, grace and Shishu, Yan and Zhao have the meaning of dedication. Looking at his talents, he has no way to be wise, and his sons are clear and talented, and they are also masterpieces. The dragon and beast are not tamable, so it is better to get rid of them" ("Jin Shu Fu Jian Ji").

Kill it, this is a hero, we can't control it, and I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, Wang Meng made his thoughtful suggestion to Fu Jian. Later facts also proved that Wang Meng was not only discerning, but also like a god!

"We are righteous to heroes and heroes, and we have built immortal achievements. And at the beginning of its arrival, I told it sincerely, and now it is harmful, and people will call me what I am" ("Jin Shu Fu Jian Ji").

Back then, when Cao Cao faced Liu Bei, the hero of the world, Zhang Xiu, who killed his son and nephew, and Zhang Xiu, who loved the general, his open-mindedness and his worries about the future were the same.

The cause of unifying the world requires the painstaking efforts of many heroic people to be accomplished. How can you abolish the hope of the world's heroes because you are worried about one person!

The arrival of Murong Chui not only satisfied the curiosity of the people of the former Qin monarchs, but also eliminated Fu Jian's last concerns about Qianyan. In November 369, under the pretext that Qianyan had not ceded the land west of Hujiao as agreed, Fu Jian ordered Wang Mengtong Jianwei's general Liang Cheng and Luozhou Assassin Shi Deng Qiang to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Luoyang. Before the army left, Wang Meng begged Murong Ling to join the army and act as a guide.

Qianyan ushered in the last moment because of Murong Chui's departure. The war between the former Qin and the former Yan kicked off.

In the first month of 370, Wang Meng quickly assembled his troops when the Qianyan reinforcements failed in the first battle, and launched another attack on the Qianyan reinforcements with lightning speed, breaking Murong Zang's 100,000 army in Xingyang. Subsequently, Wang Meng carried the power of victory, a letter to Luoyang, and captured a strategic place that could be carried east along the Yellow River to the north, laying the foundation for the battle of Luchuan.

In this battle, Wang Meng, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, commanded Ruoding, talked and laughed. In between battles, he skillfully used the "Golden Knife Strategy", although he was not able to frame Murong Ling to death, but eventually led to the killing of his son Murong Ling, an achievement that had a more far-reaching impact than conquering Xingyang and Luoyang.

It was the night before the expedition, and Murong Chui held a banquet for Wang Mengyang. The two heroes cherish each other, meet confidants in wine, and in addition to being excited, they also refer to the heavens and the earth, and become brothers. Wang Meng gave his beloved paperweight as a token, and Murong Chui sent a family heirloom golden knife to talk about lovesickness.

This is a normal interaction between ministers, Murong Chui thought that he and Wang Meng would be close to each other from then on, and they could finally stand firm in Qianqin, and after drinking and drinking, they would go back to the house to sleep. Wang Meng held the golden knife in his arms, sat on the carriage back to the barracks, conceived the next plan, and stayed up all night.

Regarding Huan Wen's strength, Wang Meng had a deep understanding when he was talking about the world on the ba, and the talent of the handsome general is rare. Murong Chui was able to defeat him, and it was a big defeat, and he was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities everywhere, and he had no last resort. He is not to be underestimated, and he will be removed by His Majesty. Wang Meng, who came quickly and acted frankly, set the most ruthless plan in his life.

Under the city of Luoyang, when the armies of Former Qin and Former Yan were engaged in a decisive battle, Wang Meng began his second step plan: to buy the pawns who had worked in Murong Chui's house with a lot of money, so that they could fraudulently claim to be sent by Murong Chui, and use the golden sword as a basis to spread the word to Murong Ling and make him defect to Former Yan.

Murong Ling didn't know about his father and Wang Meng's alliance. The old man said, the golden knife is the evidence, and after thinking about it, Murong Ling decided to turn against the water again and defected to Qianyan overnight.

Murong Chui was arrested on his way out after learning of his son's defection.

Wang Meng almost succeeded, the layout was flawless, the effect was obvious and clear, and a little trick would trap the hero of the world in a situation from which he could not recover, and the facts had been achieved, and he could not argue.

When Murong Chui himself thought that he was finally killed by his son this time, Fu Jian pardoned him, "The Qing family and the country are out of harmony, and they are committed to me, Xianlang does not forget his roots, and he still returns to China, which is not enough to blame, but Yan is about to die, and it is not for Xianlang to survive, and it is useless to fall into the tiger's mouth." I am not a tyrant, and I also know that fathers and sons are brothers, and the crimes are not related, so why should I be afraid of the crime and flee!"

Later, when Murong Ling attempted to rebel against Yan for the third time, he was defeated and killed due to the betrayal of his younger brother Murong Lin.

Although Wang Meng's plan did not take Murong Trai's life in the end, it buried Murong Chui's hope behind him - Murong Ling. Later, Murong Chui rebuilt the Yan Kingdom (known as Houyan in history), and he deplored the innocent death of the "crown prince" Murong Ling because there was no successor, and he shuddered even more about Wang Meng's poisonous plan.

Wang Meng not only directly led the army to destroy the former Yan, but also planted the seeds of destruction for the later Yan.

After conquering Luoyang and Xingyang, Wang Meng ordered the Jianwu general Deng Qiang to garrison Jin Yongcheng and lead the army back to Chang'an, and the momentum of the former Qin's attack on Yan came to an abrupt end.

After learning that Wang Meng had withdrawn his troops, Former Yan, who was actively preparing for defense, mistakenly believed that Former Qin was only trying to seize the land promised when he asked for help, and not to carry out a decisive battle to destroy the country, and the defense deployment was immediately interrupted. At that time, Shen Shao, the former Yan Zuo Cheng believed that "it is not just about defending the border, but having the heart to devour", and suggested increasing the strength of the troops at various key points on the border and strengthening combat readiness. After all, increasing the border garrison is a very expensive thing, what if Wang Meng no longer leads his troops to come?

When the former Qin attacked Yan for the second time, Wang Meng went down to the "danger made in heaven" Huguan in the first month, and then went out of Luchuan, which was the foundation laid in the first attack on Yan.
