Chapter 86 Chapter 85: Ming Emperor Fu Jian

One late night in the fourth year of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (316 A.D.), Jiang, the wife of Fu Hong, the leader of the Di tribe, gave birth to a boy, who was Fu Jian. Fu Jian liked watching horseback riding and archery since he was a child. When he was a little older, he imitated the movements of adults to practice martial arts. When he was young, he was already a master of horseback riding and archery.Since he was a child, Fu Jian was very familiar with the wind and the wind, and he would say whatever he met, and every word would make the other person sound very comfortable. Therefore, he was not only loved by his parents, but also won the love of Zhao Shile, uncle Shihu and his nephew. happy.In the sixth year of Jin Yonghe (350 A.D.), Fu Jian's father was poisoned to death by military adviser Ma Qiu. Fu Jian ignored his father, who was clutching his stomach and screaming, and killed Ma Qiu first, and then came to his father.After Fu Hong's death, Fu Jian, out of strategic considerations, removed the title of King of Qin, proclaimed himself a minister to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and accepted the official title of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

However, Fu Jian will never forget his father's last words - to seize Guanzhong.At that time, Du Hong of Later Zhao was occupying Chang'an, and it was natural for Fu Jian to attack him first if he wanted to seize Guanzhong.In order to paralyze Du Hong, Fu Jian renovated the palace and asked the people to cultivate land, creating an illusion for Du Hong that Fu Jian had no intention of developing westward.Du Hong was really confused and relaxed his vigilance towards Fu Jian. Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of, Fu Jian led all his soldiers and horses to advance westward. When crossing the river in Mengjin, Fu Jian held the hand of his nephew Fu Pu and said emotionally: "You can only win if you enter Hedong from Zhiguan. Defeat is guaranteed. If we fail, we will not see each other until we reach the Underworld." After Fu Pu promised with tears in his eyes, he crossed the pontoon bridge without looking back.Fu Jian then set off, beat Du Hong's general Zhang Xian's army to pieces at Tongguan, and fled in embarrassment.Fu Jian drove straight in and entered Chang'an easily, and Du Hong escaped.

General Jia Xuanshuo of Fu Jian's army division and others saw that Guan Zhong had won, so they jointly sent a memorial to Fu Jian, asking Fu Jian to call him the Great Chanyu and King of Qin, but they were reprimanded by Fu Jian: "My official position is not yours. It should be talked about." However, after training them, Fu Jian regretted it.In order to take care of his own face, Fu Jian asked his cronies to suggest that Jia Xuanshuo would go to the palace again. Jia Xuanshuo was a smart man, so he immediately copied the returned memorabilia again, and happily sent it to the palace.In the seventh year of Jin Yonghe (351 A.D.), Fu Jian proclaimed himself King of Heaven and Great Chanyu, and his reign title was Huangshi.In the following year, he felt that the rank of the king of heaven was too low, so he held a grand ceremony for the enthronement of the emperor in the front hall of Taiji.

Five years before Qin Shihuang (355 A.D.), Fu Jian was seriously ill and was bedridden.Fu Jian's nephew, Fu Pu, had the idea of ​​seizing the throne.Fu Pu led his troops to the East Palace first, intending to kill the crown prince Fu Sheng, but after arriving at the East Palace, Fu Sheng was nowhere to be seen, and ran towards Dongyemen in a hurry.Hearing the noise outside, Fu Jian used his last strength to get up and walk to Duanmen.When the soldiers who had been instigated by Fu Pu saw Fu Jian, they threw away their weapons and fled around. Fu Pu was captured with his arms tied.A few days after the execution of Fu Pu, Fu Jian died at the age of 39. He was given the posthumous title of "Emperor of Ming Dynasty" and the temple name of "Sejong". Later, he was renamed "Gaozu".
