Chapter 2 The Enemy of the Kind

In December 383, Fu Jian, who had been defeated in the Battle of Weishui, returned to Chang'an and counted his men. Of the 970,000 former Qin miscellaneous troops, more than 700,000 were annihilated and fled, and less than 100,000 soldiers and horses remained in Fu Jian's headquarters. Even more terrifying was the fact that there was an army that suffered almost no losses.

Xianbei Murong Chui, with 30,000 horses under his command, suffered almost no casualties.

In 370, after the destruction of Former Yan by Former Qin, Fu Jian not only did not kill Murong Wei, the former Yan Emperor who surrendered, and other nobles, but also reused them and gave them preferential treatment. Murong Wei has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and was named a new candidate by Fu Jian, judging from the title, Fu Jian still takes care of the emotions of this defeated general and the king of the country.

At that time, Prime Minister Wang Meng and his younger brother Fu Rong both reminded Fu Jian that the Xianbei people were destroyed by Qin, and they would definitely be determined to restore the country, and they must not be guarded against. In particular, Prime Minister Wang Meng, in order to get rid of Murong Chui, also tried his best and painstakingly to come up with a plan, which was later called China's first yang conspiracy through the ages.

Golden Knife Meter.

In 370 AD, Wang Meng led an army to attack Yan under the order of Fu Jian, and when he set out on the expedition, he made a request to Fu Jian, he needed a guide, Murong Ling, the eldest son of Murong Chui, and asked Murong Ling to join the army with the army.

Fa Yan uses Yan people as guides, this request is normal, and Fu Jian has no reason to refuse.

The night before the expedition, Wang Meng visited Murong Trai, and Murong Trai held a banquet to entertain him. Staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the two brothers are good, the five heads are high, and when the wine is hot, Wang Meng said to Murong Chui: Why give me a farewell now? It makes me see things and think about people.

This heart-warming request implies a cold murderous intent.

Under the fence, trembling and trembling, suddenly the prime minister was so enthusiastic, Murong Chui's brain was hot, and there was nothing else around, so he casually untied the golden knife at his waist and gave it to Wang Meng.

When the army was about to arrive in Luoyang, Wang Meng ordered Murong Chui's confidant Jin Xi to come to Murong Ling's tent with a golden knife in his hand, and brought the so-called Murong Chui's message: We are the royal family of Yan State, how can we watch the former Qin destroy Yan? Take advantage of the fact that you are now out of the former Qin, and hurry back to the Yan Kingdom.

Murong Ling recognized it as his father's golden knife, and it was his father's confidant Jin Xilai's order, and Shuangjin was still fake? Murong Ling then returned to Qianyan in the name of hunting.

Well, now there is evidence of mutiny. Wang Meng sent the news of Murong Ling's defection back to Chang'an and reported it to Fu Jian. Murong was scattered, speechless, grabbed the horse whip, and fled in a hurry overnight. As a result, he was caught up by the pursuing soldiers in Lantian and escorted back to Chang'an.

Now I will surely die. Murong Chui was ready to be killed.

What neither Wang Meng nor Murong Trai expected was that Fu Jian not only let Murong Trai go, but also comforted him not to panic, and expressed his understanding of his deep affection for his homeland.

The "Golden Knife Strategy" is known as the first of the top ten yang schemes in ancient China, and its meticulous conception and exquisite grasp of the layout of time and space far surpass the "encirclement of Wei to save Zhao", "push the grace order", and "release the military power with a glass of wine", which can be called the ancient and the modern.

However, Wang Meng's seemingly insoluble eternal conspiracy was so easily dissipated in Fu Jian's benevolence and tolerance.

Fu Jian turned a deaf ear to Wang Meng and Fu Rong's words, not without reason, there are three main reasons:

1. Although Fu Jian is a member of the Di ethnic group, he has admired Han culture since he was a child, is deeply influenced by Han culture, and advocates benevolence.

2. The north and the south have not yet been unified, and the Xianbei nobles can be used to expand their power.

3. The third reason is full of ambiguity and sentiment.

When Fu Jian destroyed Qianyan, he captured Murong Chong, the prince of Qianyan, and his sister Princess Qinghe. Princess Qinghe was thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, which was a relatively mature age in ancient times.

That's all, Murong Chong, a young man from Shi Xianbei, was just 12 years old, born with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and a beautiful person, which is endearing. Fu Jian even used him as a child prostitute and included him in the harem.

A generation of male protagonists turned out to be bisexual.

At that time, there was a folk song in Chang'an City that sang: "One female and one male, both fly into the Purple Palace." ”

Prime Minister Wang Meng tried his best to advise Fu Jian about accepting Murong Chong's sister and brother, and Fu Jian reluctantly sent Murong Chong out of the palace, and later named him Pingyang Taishou.

After the defeat of the Former Qin in the Battle of Weishui, the chieftains of the Xianbei, Qiang, Dingling, Wuhuan and other tribes who had been conquered by the Former Qin raised troops to rebel and establish a separatist regime. The united North began to fall apart again. There are four main rebel forces:

The first group, Yao Chang, the chieftain of the Qiang tribe, rebelled from Weibei.

The second share, the humble Murong Chui. The 30,000 troops under Murong Trai suffered little losses in the Battle of Huangshui, and returned to the hometown of Qianyan under the leadership of Murong Trai to establish a state.

The third share, the Xianbei Murong clan who was appointed as a magistrate by Fu Jianwai. Murong Wei's younger brother Murong Hong led 100,000 soldiers and horses to rebel in Huayin, Shaanxi. Murong Chong also raised troops to defect to Murong Hong, and sent an envoy to tell Fu Jian that he would "divide the king and the world".

The fourth group is the Xianbei nobles in Chang'an City, headed by the deposed emperor Murong Wei.

After the former Yan nobles repaid virtue with grievances and rebelled, Fu Jian in Chang'an City called Murong Wei, the former Yan Emperor, to the front and scolded: Although your Yan Kingdom is destroyed, I treat you like returning home, and your brothers and nephews have been named generals. Now Murong Chui, Murong Chong, and Murong Hong have all raised troops to besiege Chang'an, your family is really human-faced and beast-hearted, and it is in vain that I treat you as a national soldier!

Murong Wei waited for his soul to disperse, knelt in front of Fu Jian and kowtowed, crying and begging for mercy. Fu Jian saw Murong Wei crying in front of him and pretending to be his grandson, but he still couldn't bear to kill.

Fu Jian didn't kill Murong Wei, but Murong Wei was not idle. He secretly sent a secret envoy to Murong Hong, arranged for the great cause of revival, and told Murong Hong: If Fu Jian kills me, you will quickly become emperor.

However, Murong Hong was brutal, and soon after raising troops to force Chang'an, he was killed due to the infighting of the Xianbei nobles. Murong Chong was elected as the new lord, led the army to annihilate tens of thousands of former Qin troops, occupied Afang City, and then entered the siege of Chang'an.

Fu Jian stood on Chang'an City, looking at Murong Chong's army, swords and guns are like a forest, the army is strong, and the pillow people back then are now seeing each other with swords and soldiers, and his heart is mixed.

Fu Jian still had a trace of fantasy about Murong Chong, and sent someone to send a brocade robe, wanting to impress him to remember his former bed.

"The ancients were at war, and messengers came and went. Qing Yuan came to create everything, can he not work hard. A brocade robe is now presented to show one's heart. What is my kindness to Qing, and why did such an accident happen overnight. ”

A generation of male lords is so naïve.

The memories of the tyrant chrysanthemum obviously bring only hatred. After Murong Chong received the brocade robe sent by Fu Jian, he asked the messenger to reply to Fu Jian: The lonely family is now responsible for the world, how can they look at this robe Xiaohui. If Fu Jian comes to surrender, our Murong family will treat him no worse than he used to treat our family.

After receiving Murong Chong's reply, Fu Jian Chong cracked his crown and shouted: I regret not using the words of Wang Jingluo (Wang Meng) and Yang Pinggong (Fu Rong) to make Bai Yu dare to be so rampant!

The Xianbei people are fair-skinned, so the world often calls them white.

Although Fu Jian never made up his mind to slaughter Murong Wei and others in Chang'an City, the thousands of Xianbei people in Chang'an led by Murong Wei were always ready to attack and kill Fu Jian. In the name of his son's marriage, Murong Wei set up a Hongmen banquet for Fu Jian.

Fu Jian actually agreed to go, and some of the ministers advised him to be vigilant, but Fu Jian hesitated. At the critical moment, a warlock saved Fu Jian's life.

This warlock's name was Wang Jia, and he believed that Murong Wei would attack and kill Fu Jian, and predicted that it would rain heavily.

That night, it rained heavily. Fu Jian was shocked, so he killed Murong Wei's father and son and his clan, and killed all the Xianbei people in Chang'an City, regardless of men, women, and children.

Since Fu Jian, if the exterminator of the country cannot bear to give an extermination order to the family of the deceased, the advisor often takes Fu Jian as an example, and advises not to "invite the name of the soft benevolence".

The consequence of this is that after the former Qin Dynasty, there are few preserved by the royal family of China's future generations.

Murong Chong led his army in the outer city of Chang'an City for a long time, and there was a shortage of food in the city, even to the point of cannibalism. Fu Jian poured all the storage in the inner palace and set up a banquet to entertain the ministers. The generals were given a few slices of meat, stuffed them into their mouths and swallowed them unbearably, and returned home to "spit out meat to feed their wives".

It's miserable.

Fu Jian's benevolent government is not without moving. Outside the city, more than 30 villagers in the fortified camps formed alliances with each other and risked their lives to send troops to send food to help Fu Jian, but most of them were intercepted and killed by the Western Yan army.

Fu Jian hurriedly sent someone to inform them: I heard that most of the people who came to help could not arrive smoothly, and I understood the righteousness they showed. However, in this situation, you are dying in vain. Take care of your lives, store up food, and train your armies to wait for the time. I, Fu Jian, have never done anything great or evil in my life, and I will definitely not be trapped for a long time, and there will be a time to come to Jitai.

Some of the people who were taken captive by Murong Chong to the barracks still had their hearts set on Fu Jian, and secretly sent envoys to inform Fu Jian that they could set fire to the barracks as an internal response. Fu Jian didn't want the people to risk death, so he didn't agree.

The people repeatedly demanded, and Fu Jian had no choice but to send 700 cavalry to respond. However, most of the people who set fire to Murong Chong's camp were burned to death by the flames blown by the wind, and the internal and external raids failed.

This is a true benevolent person, however......

Outside the city, Murong Chong began a full-scale siege of the city. Fu Jian went into battle and personally supervised the battle, full of flying arrows, bleeding all over his body, and had a bit of masochistic taste.

However, the general trend is irreversible, and Chang'an is obviously unable to keep it. There is a proverb that "the emperor will come out of the five generals for a long time", Fu Jian listened to the letter, left the prince Fu Hong to guard the city, and ran from Chang'an himself.

Murong Chong invaded Chang'an, plundered his troops, and the dead were incalculable.

Fu Jian fled from Chang'an to Wujiangshan (now Qishan County, Shaanxi), and another old subordinate immediately came to greet him.

This person is Yao Chang, the leader of the Qiang tribe.

Later generations said that Yao Chang rebelled against Fu Jian, but in fact, it was not so much that Yao Chang rebelled against Fu Jian, but that Fu Jian forced Yao Chang to rebel.

After Murong Chui, Murong Chong and others rebelled against Qin, Yao Chang assisted Guangping Gong Fu Xi in suppressing it in the name of Fu Jian. Yao Chang's suggestion is: Xianbei people rebelled, but they just wanted to return to their hometown of Yan Kingdom, and issued an order, so that they could go out of the customs and return to their hometown.

Fu Xi didn't listen, and sent troops to fight Xianbei, and was defeated and killed.

Yao Chang's suggestion has merit, and it may not be all right, but at least it shows that Yao Chang at this time is still of the same mind as Fu Jian. However, Fu Jian's later behavior completely forced him to rebel.

Fu Xi was defeated and killed, and Yao Chang sent generals Zhao Du and Jiang Xie to apologize to Fu Jian. Under the constant stimulation of bad luck, people are easy to expose their emotions and are not calm, Fu Jian was impulsive, the image of the benevolent man collapsed, and he ordered the two to be beheaded.

Two subordinates were beheaded by Fu Jian, and Yao Chang's mood after learning about it can be imagined, and he led the crowd to flee to Weibei.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it. There are more than 50,000 local wealthy families in Weibei, and Yao Chang is the leader of the alliance to rebel against Qin. Yao Chang didn't want to lose his reputation at first, but everyone persuaded him: Qin Qi is exhausted, what are you going to sell your life for.

Yao Chang finally rebelled and insisted on being the king, claiming to be a general and a great general. That's not all, he also gave himself a domineering title, which is enough to deter Fu Jian--- King of Qin, known as Hou Qin in history.

"Ten Thousand Years Qin King" Yao Chang led the army to surround the "Great Qin Heavenly King" Fu Jian in Wujiang Mountain, the former Qin soldiers were unable to resist, and they all ran away, and there were only more than ten guards left around Fu Jian.

Yao Chang is an out-and-out womanizer, Fu Jian knows, "How can you make Qiang slaves insult my son", for the sake of Fu's innocence, Fu Jian personally killed his two daughters Fu Jin and Fu Bao. Fu Jianzi, Fu Xu, and his wife Zhang and others all committed suicide.

After 1559, there was also an emperor, in order to avoid the insult of the rebels, he also forced his wife to commit suicide, and personally killed his two daughters, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren, he was Emperor Chongzhen of Ming.

If it weren't for extreme helplessness and despair, who would have the heart to do such a painful act?

After all, he was once a generation of heroes, and the remnants of his self-esteem made Fu Jian's emperor not change, and the Qiang army had arrived, and Fu Jian still sat upright according to the emperor's etiquette and summoned the imperial chef to eat. Just like Yuan Shikai's eldest son Yuan Keding a few years later, after he was down, he still used a Western knife and fork to eat the nest picked up by an old slave, and he had to bring a snow-white napkin on his chest.

Grace cannot be lost, and the shelf cannot be poured.

The Qiang people didn't care about this, Yao Changbu rushed Wu Zhong to gallop horses, tied Fu Jian, and sent him to Xinping, which is today's Shuikou Town, Bin County, Shaanxi Province.

The former monarch and minister, and now the captive and the king of Wannian Qin, began negotiations. Yao Chang asked Fu Jian for the jade seal of the country, and Fu Jian scolded: The national seal has been sent to the Jin Dynasty, how can it be given to this ungrateful traitor!

If you don't give the seal, it's always okay to let Zen, right? Yao Chang wanted to make a peaceful transition.

Fu Jian scolded again: The Chan Dynasty is a matter between sages and sages. What are you, dare to compare yourself to the ancient saints!

Fu Jian treated Yao Chang well, and even before the Battle of Weishui, he awarded Yao Chang the general title "General Long Xiang" that his grandfather had once named him, and the two of them also lived in harmony, but after the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian lost his emotional management and forced this Qiang chief to rebel. This time, Fu Jian scolded Yao Chang so badly, for two purposes, one is to vent his emotions after being ungrateful, and the other is to seek death quickly.

Don't you have the slightest desire to survive? The country is gone, the daughter was killed by his own hands, and the wife and prince also committed suicide, do you think such a man will still have the slightest desire to survive?

Whoever is scolded like this can't stand it, let alone the "Ten Thousand Years Qin King" who has regarded himself as the new master of Guanzhong. In October 385, Yao Chang sent people to hang Fu Jian to death in Xinping Buddhist Temple and buried him hastily.

After that, Yao Chang, who was scolded in vain, thought about it and still didn't understand his hatred, and asked Fu Jian's body to be dragged out of the tomb, stripped naked, and whipped the corpse (whipping countless times). and then bury it in the soil with thorns (recommended as thorns), which may be the so-called "bitter" hatred.

Fu Jian, the great Qin Heavenly King of the Great Qin, died at the age of 47, only 2 years after the Battle of Weishui. If Fu Jian listened to Wang Meng's words, first at home and then outside, would he still die so dramatically? However, what has ended, there are no ifs, only results and consequences.

People, the older they get, the more they should understand that kindness must have a bottom line, generosity must have principles, and being good to others indiscriminately will eventually live up to their own kindness.

The older you get, the more you should understand that it is not the enemy who has been fighting against you, but the self with high sensitivity, low self-esteem, and perfectionist tendencies.

In some of our value judgment systems, success or defeat seems to be the only criterion for judging your success. With this single criterion in place, no one cares whether the process you go through is sunlight or darkness. However, after going through thousands of hardships and difficulties, we will gradually understand a truth, a good character will be admired by thousands of people, although the expression of this admiration will be affected by different circumstances, or express one's heart, or at an unknown moment to tell the villager, or hide it in the heart. However, the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty is an immutable gene engraved in the body or heart of every human being on the earth, because it is indeed very beautiful.

Therefore, Mr. Bai Yang commented: In China's thousands of years of history, there are only five people who are qualified to be called emperors, they are Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Fu Jian, the former Qin king, Li Shimin and Kangxi of Tang Taizong. Bai Yang's evaluation is not pertinent, in a world where the logic of success and defeat is rampant, it is too difficult for losers to get fair evaluation and respect, and Fu Jian is an exception.

His eloquence, elegance and magnificence, especially his benevolent demeanor, have fascinated the world. He was strict with himself, lenient with others, benevolent and generous, canceled the division of Hu and Han, eliminated ethnic estrangement, and did not have a massacre in the process of the southern and northern wars. Emperor Xuanzhao was posthumously sealed by his son Fu Pi, and Emperor Wenzhao was posthumously sealed by Houliang Lu Guang, the heroic king? It was the murderer Yao Chang who chased him, perhaps, Yao Chang's anger at this time had also been vented, and then he recalled the benevolent style of the Great Qin Heavenly King.

In addition, Fu Jian was also posthumously prayed as a god by Taoism, and built a shrine to avoid disasters during the plague, and was called the god of the Fu family. Sacrifice to the god of the Fu family is one of the existing festivals of Taoism in Taiwan, and the festival day is the second day of the first lunar month every year, and the ether prison (cattle, sheep and pigs) is sacrificed, which is not useful for preventing the new crown. You must know that Taoism is a religion native to the Chinese nation, and its founder is the Han people.

The benevolent have enemies, and the benevolent are invincible. In reading history, we must first figure out what we need to learn and what we need to discard, so that we can truly become a culturally powerful country and a culturally strong nation.

Coincidentally, in the month of the martyrdom of the northern overlord Fu Jian, the Optimus Pillar in the south also collapsed at the age of 65. This person is Xie An, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Battle of Weishui.

The Xie family reached the pinnacle of politics under the leadership of Xie An, however, the Xie family saw the world very clearly. Xie An's achievements are not rewarded, reuse and suspicion coexist, and he will fall into the whirlpool of rumors whenever there is a stir. Therefore, as soon as Xie An died, Xie Xuan asked to resign and return to the mountains and forests, and the Xie family never entered the political center of the Eastern Jin Dynasty again.

However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, Sun En rebelled, and Sima Daozi and others used Xie Yan, the son of Xie An, again in order to use the power of the Beifu soldiers. Xie Yan was duty-bound until he was martyred, not only that, but because the Xie clan was too famous in the Sanwu region, Sun En killed the most scholars.

"The World Speaks New Language. "Words" records: Xie An asked his sons and nephews, "How do the children also plan to make things better, and they want to make them better?" "No one has a word. Xie Xuan replied: For example, the Zhilan jade tree wants to be born in the ears of the stepping court. Xie An was amazed again and again after hearing this.

Xie Xuan's answer comes from an allusion - "Xunzi. Confucius said: Fu Zhilan was born in the deep forest, and she is not fragrant because she is not alone. It means that Zhilan, who was born in the deep forest valley, should be hidden in the Xie family's court steps and still fragrant. It is a metaphor that in the current environment, the children of the Xie family should endure without being exposed, do not compete for power, and do not seek to divide wrong.

Among the four major valves of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, compared with the Wang, Yu, and Huan families, the Xie family does not rely on relatives, does not rely on force, and does not rely on deceit and conspiracy, and there are literary and artistic masters such as Xie Shang, Xie Hao, Xie Lingyun, and Xie Wan, and there are fierce generals Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, and Xie Hui, who can determine the country's security, as well as Xie An, the pillar of the country, and Xie An, the "Eastern Jin Dynasty Zeng Guo Domain" who is both civil and military.

What is even more commendable is that Xie Daoyun, who is charming, radiant, and elegant, not only has the talent of "not if the catkins rise because of the wind", but also in the case of Sun En's uprising when her husband (Wang Xizhi's son Wang Ningzhi) and son were killed, he personally led the maid to kill the enemy, although he was captured, he was still loyal and unyielding, and even Sun En was deeply impressed and could not bear to harm him and release him. Throughout the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the scholars of the Gaomen, Langyu Wang, Yingchuan Yu, Qian Guohuan, Chenjun Yuan, Lanling Xiao, Gaoping Xi, Taiyuan Guo and Wang, Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Hedong Pei, Taishan Yang, which female stream can reach?

The European tradition is a military aristocracy, and China is an intellectual aristocracy. The descendants of the aristocracy who can establish a good family style can stand at the top of society for decades or centuries, while the nobles who rely on deceit and power to make a fortune by force are as fragile as thin ice, even if the royal family is still the same.

A few years later, the Marquis Jing of the Chieftain of the Southern Dynasty and wanted to marry the Xie family, but Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, refused repeatedly, in his eyes, he could marry anyone, marry with the Xie family, you Hou Jing, no matter how strong the force is, you are not qualified.

Confucius said: Rich and noble, people do what they want; If you don't get it by its way, you can't get it anywhere. Chen Duxiu also said: Those who have an independent heart and are brave are called aristocratic spirit. It can be seen that there is no absolute correlation between wealth and nobility. There have always been aristocrats and people with an aristocratic spirit in China, that is, gentlemen. Chenjun Xie has not only profound cultural upbringing, free soul, noble moral sentiments, but also social responsibility to hoe the strong and help the weak, and the feelings of family and country for the public and the world.

This is a true aristocratic family. We must not only expose the deceit, disorder, and murder of the troubled times, but also publicize this kind of benevolent style, gentlemanly manner, and aristocratic instrument, and show some things that we are eager to see in that era of endless darkness, which is useful for the re-emergence of the Chinese nation.

Fu Jian is a benevolent person and a gentleman, and now, he and Xie An, the first perfect person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, one died in rebellion, and the other died naturally, and the two of them may be able to laugh at the enmity and hatred in the Western Elysium where there is no dispute.

After Fu Jian's death, North China was divided again. Later Yan, Western Yan, Southern Yan, Northern Yan, Great Xia, Western Qin

Later Qin, Southern Liang, Later Liang, Western Liang, Northern Liang and other separatist regimes appeared one after another, and there were many years of melee, blood and rain did not stop, and the dream of northern unification was vaguely in the dream, and the city head changed the banner of the king until the Northern Wei Dynasty.
