The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 32

On the first day of the court, in the Jiyang Palace, all the princes and ministers of the Yan Kingdom were dressed in luxurious clothes and crowns, and gathered together.

King Yan sat on the top of the main hall, only to see that he was wearing a crown of guns, and there were two out of ten, which counted the number of days.The top and bottom of the body are soapy and crimson, the first three and the last four, the clothes are painted and the clothes are embroidered, and the sun, the moon, the stars, and the twelve chapters.The plain belt around the waist is four inches wide, with Zhuli, and its side is decorated with Zhuyuan.The neck jacket is led by a crimson edge.Majestic but unable to look directly at, the style of the king.

The eldest son Murong Jun wrote Yanmian, crowned nine times, and stood in the lower hall.

Civil and military officials and deacons have long and long crowns, and they all only obey them.Those who are not deacons, each serve the chief crown and Xuan to follow.

A few days ago, the king of Yan had received a report from a messenger that Liu Peijiankang's request for title had been completed and his return date had been set.The King of Yan was overjoyed to hear the news, and specially ordered people to make Yan Guo costumes and hats, the specifications of which were the same as those of the Jin Dynasty and Shi Zhao.

Now this Yuanri Dynasty is the first time that the King of Yan was awarded the title.All the princes and officials went to court if they had no important matters.

This year, Yan State rejected Shizhao and Xiping Yuwen in the south. Although the situation was once precarious, the west of Liaoning was leveled off.Looking to the north, there is no match for it.The quiet and flat land outside the pass has been completely owned by the State of Yan.

King Yan's courtiers were full of talented people, and among the Han officials, Feng Yu, Yang Yu, Huang Fuzhen, etc. were all outstanding at the time.Among the princes of Murong, the eldest son Murong Jun, the general Murong Ke who crossed the Liao Dynasty, and the general Murong Ba of Pingdi, all of them were well-mannered, or they were in charge of an army alone.

King Yan looked at the courtiers in the hall and inadvertently felt a sense of arrogance.Murong's family has gone through three generations since Murongshe returned. From a small tribe in Xianbei, they not only managed to protect themselves in this chaotic world, but also gradually conquered Duanbu and Yuwen, and sent them to Thorn City.This is what the previous generations dared not think about, and King Yan's face showed a complacent look so far.

When I was in a trance, I saw Feng Yi, the Prime Minister of the country, came up and said: "I congratulate my king, the new capital of Longcheng has been completed, and Luanjia will be moved to the new palace of Longcheng in a few days."

"Gu, Fang wants to pacify the world and guard the sea. Now the land of Pingzhou has been flattened, and the land outside Youjiguan has been owned by my country Murong Yan, and the country is growing. However, the capital is small and the palace is cramped. The weather of the country. Now that the new capital of Longcheng has been completed, it is possible to make the four barbarians surrender, and all nations come to the court, which depends on Yang Shilun."

All the ministers shouted: "Congratulations to my king, the new capital has been completed, and the Yan Kingdom will last forever."

King Yan swept across the hall, but he was suspicious. He didn't see Yang Yu, so he hurriedly asked: "Where is Yang Yu, the hero who supervised the construction of this new capital? Without his ingenuity, how could our country of Yan get this new capital. Call this person quickly."

"Reporting to the King of Yan, my brother, my brother" saw Yang Wu stepping forward, holding up the wat board tremblingly, and said, "Yang Yu has been working hard for days, supervising the construction of the new capital, and devoting all his efforts. Shen Ke was entangled not long ago, and he couldn't Now that I have become an official, I will plead guilty to my king on behalf of my younger brother." After saying this, he bowed down and bowed.

When King Yan heard this, he sighed, "What's wrong with Qing's younger brother? You and your younger brother are both good ministers, quickly order the palace medical officer to bring the decoction and go to Yangyu's mansion."

The King of Yan turned his expression and said: "Throughout this year, everything was very difficult. Thanks to the dedication of all the ministers and the loyal people who forgot about themselves, our country of Yan is now standing proudly in the northern border. However, those who died Quite a few."

King Yan suddenly got up together, "Wang Yu, Liu Pei, Gao Xu, and the king's chariot. This time we defeated Yuwen and entered its capital alone. When we saw that king's chariot, I actually..." Yan Wang said, his eyes were moist , Mian Yan also trembled slightly.

All the ministers in the hall were also sighing, Muran bowed his head, Gao Bi who took over his father's post of internal history is also in the hall now, and at this moment he waved his wide sleeves to cover his face, he couldn't bear it.

"Gao Bi." King Yan said solemnly.

"The minister is here."

"Your home is safe."

"Reporting to King Yan, everything is fine at home. Thanks to the help of King Yan, all the children in the family are supported, but the old mother is crying every day, but she can't eat."

"Gu knew that the conquest was very urgent that day. Qing's father went to the army without even meeting your mother. Why did Gu not want to talk to him again? He boasted that he was good at astronomy and accounting, but now he is dead. Who can I talk to alone?"

"King Yan." Gao Bi cried, "Now all the children in the clan are well-supported, I have a deep sense of my heart, and my king cares about the country and the country."

All the ministers shouted, "May King Yan remember the country and the country."

"Brother Han was also hit by an arrow." King Yan wiped his tears, then changed his mind and said, "The battle of Ping Yuwen mostly depends on elder brother, Murong Ba, do you know how your Uncle Wang is?"

"Report to father." Murong Ba led all the ministers and said, "Because of the serious injury, he is only recuperating in the residence."

"Forget it, order the Chinese medicine officer in the palace to serve you well, and then serve the soup and medicine."

"Uncle Wang, thank you my king." Murong Ba bowed to express his gratitude.

The king of Yan put his hands on the throne, and the maid behind him held the pheasant tail fan behind him, and said calmly: "The power of the Yan Kingdom is like the morning sun, gushing out. Although the request for the title has been completed, the Jincheng Emperor has passed away. The reign title of the new ruler has not yet been determined. In my mind, the reign title of the Jin family will not be reused in the territory of Yan Kingdom, and it will only be called Yan Wang Jiyuan. What do you think?"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, so although Yan State has not severed the foreign friendship with the Jin Dynasty, but there is a vague meaning of disobedience, and the Han officials in the hall have no words.

I saw Murong Ping stepped forward and said: "Brother Wang's discussion is very true. Today, our country of Yan is flourishing. Ping Gaoli in the east, accept Yuwen in the west, reject Shizhao in the south, open up the old territory of Jin, and control thousands of miles of territory. North Zhou desert, East To the fullest of waves, Daishan in the west, and Hebei in the South Pole. Although the Jin family is famous and respected, Wang Dun sings disasters in the front, Su Jun is poisonous in the back, and the violence is more violent than Dong Zhuo. Yan and the Jin family are far away from each other. The decree is cut off, the prosperity of our country of Yan today depends on my Murong family, who fought hard and fought hard for three generations of Yan masters to win this world. How can the Jin family live in the upper country. Don't say that you are called king, you are called emperor. Still can't."

After Murong commented, the court was lonely and speechless.Some of the Han ministers frowned, some were anxious, some took it lightly, and some were inexplicably excited.Then it returned to silence, deathly.

What Murong Ping said is not unreasonable, but the difference between Hua and Yi is deeply rooted. The former master Murong Xin was still alive, and he resigned many times.

I think back then, when Jianwu was first established, Emperor Yuan took over the system and sent envoys to pay homage to Murongxian, Jiajie, Sanqi Changshi, the governor of Liaozuo Zayiliu military forces, General Longxiang, Da Shanyu, Changli Gong and many other names, However, Murong Xin gave in but did not accept it.

In the current situation, Lord Yan does not respect the Jin family, but seems to have the intention of self-reliance, and wants to be emperor.Among the ministers, there are not a few younger generations who want to stand up for their new sons and nephews, but there are also many veteran ministers who are in the middle of the Jin family, and they occupy high positions. No one dares to discuss where to go.

Suddenly a person broke the silence, but saw Murong Ke come out and say: "Father, what I said about my uncle is not unreasonable. However, my country of Yan is located in a remote place. Now the two capitals have collapsed, the emperor has been covered in dust, and Langxie has inherited Jiangdong. The bandits in the Central Plains have not been destroyed, and the shame of the world has not been washed away." Murong Ke straightened his clothes, "However, there is no one who is called the king today, except the stone tiger of Zhao State, let alone the emperor." Murong Ke kowtowed and said : "Liu Yuanhai, who was called emperor in the previous generation, was attacked by the whole world. The Yin Jian is not far away, and my Wang Mingjian."

I saw the eldest son Murong Jun also walked down the hall and said: "Father, what brother Ke said is not without reason, I hope my father will learn from you."

When all the ministers saw that the prince also had the intention of persuading him, they were determined, and they all said: "Look at my Wang Ming."

Murong Pingli was very embarrassed in the hall, bowed his hands to bid farewell to King Yan, and returned to the queue.

The king of Yan saw that all the ministers agreed, got up and said: "Now our country of Yan is enshrined in the Jin family, and the title of emperor cannot be taken lightly. However, the road to Wu is dangerous and far away, and the king's life is not in jeopardy. Now the emperor of Jin has died, and the new emperor has not yet come. So, from next year, Guyi will change the reign title of the Jin Dynasty to the Year of the King of Yan, and this year will be the 12th year of the King of Yan, and all decrees and edicts will be implemented accordingly."

All the ministers competed to promise.

Afterwards, King Yan looked at Murong Ping and said, "Don't discuss the matter of proclaiming emperor again."

Murong Ping was terrified and had no choice but to bow his head.

After a while, the son said to the King of Yan and his ministers again: "The King of Yan is relieved, there is also a good thing in the current dynasty. I sincerely ask you to share it with all the princes and ministers."

"That's right, the sons of the eldest son supervised the country, and they all won the Great Ding. Goguryeo Wang Zhao sent his younger brother to serve as a courtier in Yan, and paid thousands of treasures. I hereby enclose the seal, please return the father's body and the biological mother, what do you think?"

The crowd continued to discuss, only to see Huangfu really came forward and said: "In the past, the king of Ming ruled the world with filial piety. The gentleman's affairs are filial, so loyalty can be transferred to the monarch. Although Goguryeo is remote, it has not lost human relations. It is sincere and usable. Please To his mother and father's dead."

But Han Shou waved his sleeves, held the wat board, and said: "What Huangfu Changshi said is benevolent and righteous. However, the ancients said: "Yidi can only be subdued but not virtuous." Now send it back to his mother, why? Control it? Please keep his mother as a pledge to control Goguryeo."

"Master Han's words are all petty. Our culture and education are prevalent in the country of Yan. If Goguryeo is attracted to fall in love with him, why should he keep his mother as a hostage?" Huangfu was really annoyed.

Han Shou went straight to the center of the hall, held his hand to King Yan and said, "King Yan, our Yan soldiers are exhausted now, how strong is our army? If Goguryeo commits another crime, will we have the strength to resist?"

Hearing this, Huangfu was really silent.

King Yan thought for a while and said, "Ke'er, come forward and answer." Murong Ke came out.

"You live in Liaodong, if Goguryeo commits another crime, can you resist it?"

"Father is above, the capital city of Goguryeo has been destroyed, and the country's power is declining day by day, and its power will not be raised. If Goguryeo commits a crime again, the ministers will fight to the death, that is..." Murong Ke hesitated to speak.

"Ke'er doesn't have to be scruples, but let's talk about it." King Yan signaled.

"King Yan, my country of Yan has been using troops for years, and now Xinping, Liaodong, still hopes to cultivate and survive. If we go to war again, we may lose the hearts of the soldiers."

King Yan listened, pondered for a while and said: "I want to practice the rule of benevolence and filial piety, but now the world is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising together. If you die, you may be useless to the country, so I will not be Song Xianggong. I have decided to leave my mother for now." As a hostage, allow him to return with his father's corpse."

"I am Wang Shengming." Han Shou held the wat board and bowed.

King Yan suddenly turned his attention, "Inner History Liu Bin."

"The minister is here." Liu Bin replied
"When Xu Meng, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, was summoned, you welcomed him and made no mistakes in planning. Now your brother Liu Xiang can be granted the title. Gu Yi ordered you to be a special envoy with full authority to welcome Liu Xiang, the envoy of Jin."

"The minister must fulfill his mission."

The affairs of the various middle schools were properly arranged, and King Yan also changed his tone, like the tone of an elder or a parent.

"All the ministers have worked hard for a year, and they all went back to improve their self-cultivation. Now that the foreign aggression has calmed down in my country of Yan, and the territory is settled, I have been busy for a year, and it is time to rest."

All the ministers hesitated, and could only say: "Please wait, thank you, my king."

The King of Yan suddenly thought about it, and said: "When I was studying in Xiang, my brother Han and I both taught Liu Zan in Pingyuan. When Liu Jijiu was young, he traveled to Luoyang and Yecheng many times and saw a lot. He said: "On the Lantern Festival, the gates of the city are opened for the first time, and the night lights are as bright as the day, and the beauties reflect each other in red." All the ministers, the military power of the Yan State is violent in the north. Culture, education, rituals and music are all superior to other countries. .Guyi, today is the day of Shangyuan in my country of Yan, there is no curfew, no market closures, and enjoyment with the people."

All the ministers whispered to each other, suspicious and hesitant.

"The emperor of the Han family can do it, but my country of Yan can't do it." The King of Yan joked, "Nowadays, there are many Buddhist sects, and my country of Yan can also light lamps to represent Buddha, just like Shi Zhaojin."

All the ministers stood solemnly and shouted in unison: "Ministers, please thank my king."

"Han Shou is here." King Yan said.

"You have lived in Liaodong for a long time, and your plans are flawless. I have appointed you as the chief deacon of this Shangyuan Festival."

Han Shou nodded and said: "This minister is under orders, and he will definitely do his best to ensure that the festive season will not be missed."

At the end of the dynasty, everyone returned to their homes.

Later, Murong Ping quietly took a car to the Shizi's mansion to discuss, and went straight to the gate of the mansion, but saw Murong Ke and Shizi were discussing in the mansion, and Murong Jun's son Murong Ye was also serving.

Murong Ping came forward and bowed his hands to Murong Ke and said: "General Du Liao rarely visits."

Murong Ke stood up and cupped his hands in salute, "Commenting on what Uncle said is a state matter."

The prince sat aside and said to his son Murong Ye: "Ye'er, serve tea to uncle and uncle."

I saw that although Murong Ye was small in stature, he had an extraordinary bearing, intelligent and sensitive, and he was very respectful.While drinking tea, Murong Jun asked Murong Ke: "Look at my son, how can he fall into your eyes?"

"The son is too modest, and Ye'er is smart, so he will surely achieve great success." Murong Ke hurriedly took the tea set.

"Brother Ke, I have always known that you are the best in culture and martial arts, and I am the most outstanding among all the masters. I am willing to serve you as a master here. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Murong Ke hurriedly knelt down and said: "My son must not, what virtue and ability do I have, and dare to take the position of teacher must not."

"Hey, brother Ke is too modest. I have watched all the ministers and princes, and your talents and learning are the best among all the officials."

"Since that's the case, my son, today I recommend someone who is definitely qualified for the important task of teaching." Murong Ke said, got up and sat aside, stroking Murong Ye.

"Brother Ke, the person you say is definitely not bad, I will use it, so you might as well say it."

"Fan Yang, Li Ji, Li Boyang. This person is rarely known for his integrity, and his clear arguments are justified. The weak crown is the county meritorious Cao. He is famous for his loyalty and righteousness. He was originally an official of Shizhao. Because his father Li Chan has left for our country, he said this several times. Man, if I get it, I will give it to my son."

"Since that's the case, we will do everything according to your words, Ye'er, quickly salute to Uncle Ke, you have found a good teacher for you.

"Thank you Uncle Ke, my nephew will work hard to learn and live up to what I entrust." Although Murong Ye is young, he is respectful and polite, not at all like children of the same age.Murong Ke was also very pleased to see this.

"Ye'er works hard, I'm so relieved." He said and patted Ye'er's head.

The prince turned around and asked about Murong's comment, "Yan Wang has the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, but there are endless opinions."

Murong commented: "Your Majesty's words are correct. After I retire from the imperial court, the King of Yan invited me into the palace. Please let me not take it seriously. It's not a while to proclaim yourself emperor. Let future generations do it. Solitude can also be the story of Cao Mengde. Congratulations to the son, the kingdom of Yan is proclaimed emperor, and the son can be the founding father of the country."

After hearing this, Murong Ke was surprised, and said: "Father, did you intend to do this long ago?"

Murong Ping laughed: "Ke'er don't worry, in fact, the king of Yan has this intention, this morning court, it's just to test the officials."

Ke'er was worried, his brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched tightly, and he didn't calm down for a long time, but he was noticed by the prince, "Brother Ke, my country of Yan will be great in the world, and all the officials of the Han nationality will understand one day. I The State of Yan not only wants to conquer Liaodong, but also enters the Central Plains and ranks with the Jin Dynasty. This is the destiny."

The son was very emotional, and raised his body and cupped his hands at Haotian: "If the fate is in Yan, my country of Yan will definitely inherit the fate of Tianjing."

"Your Majesty, the officials and workers of all ethnic groups in the Yan Kingdom are dedicated to serving Yan, but many people still want to go to Jin. In this case, in my opinion, the matter of proclaiming emperor is a bit slow."

"Haha, brother Ke, don't worry, the time has not yet come. If you pretend to be emperor, don't you just ask yourself for humiliation and self-righteousness, brother Wang must understand." Murong Jun waved his hand and ordered the servants in the mansion to come, "Come here, first serve the wine in the mansion Give it to the two generals."

"My lord, I still have some military affairs to do, I'm afraid I'm too drunk to resign first." After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave.

Murong Ping was about to explode, Shizi hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head at him.The prince stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay."

Then send Murong Ke outside the mansion, Yiyi said goodbye.

Turning around to enter the mansion, he saw Murong Ping drinking wine, and seeing the son coming back, he said: "Murong Ke is so ignorant, the son is so humble, he went away on his own, if he goes out and speaks lies, what should we do."

"Oh, Uncle Ping, a loyal person who is loyal to the country, don't talk too much." The son slowly raised his wine glass, Qing Min said, "His mother, Concubine Gao, is also a Han Chinese, so it's not surprising that she hesitates. But I know that Ke Zhixin is loyal to the country, and Uncle Ping can rest assured."
