Chapter 102 Chapter 101 Jinbei King Murong Hong

Murong Hong is the son of Murong Jun, the former Lord of Yan, and the younger brother of Murong Riwei, Emperor You.In the eleventh year of the Jianxi reign of the former Yan (370 A.D.), Fu Jian destroyed Yan, and Murong Hong and Yan Lord Murong Riwei were escorted to Chang'an, the capital of the former Qin state.They received preferential treatment from Fu Jian, Murong Riwei was named Xinxing Hou, and Murong Hong was named Beidi Chief History.However, the more Fu Jian treated them preferentially, the more oppressed and humiliated they felt.In the nineteenth year of Jianyuan (383 A.D.) of the former Qin Dynasty, Fu Jian personally conquered the Eastern Jin Dynasty and returned after being defeated.The failure of the former Qin Dynasty provided favorable conditions for the former Yan clan to restore the Yan State. Murong Riwei's uncle Murong Chui first raised the banner of anti-Qin.

When Murong Hong heard the news, he hurriedly summoned thousands of Xianbei people to respond to Murong Chui.Fu Jian was angry and frightened by Murong Hong's revolt, so he hurriedly sent his son Fu Rui to lead troops to attack Murong Hong. When Murong Hong heard that the former Qin army was coming, he couldn't help being frightened, and wanted to lead his troops to move to the Kanto.But before he could act, Fu Rui had already launched a war against Murong Hong.Murong Hong took advantage of Fu Rui's mentality of paralyzing and underestimating the enemy, defeated the Qin army in Huaze, and killed Fu Rui.At this time, Murong Chong, the younger brother of Murong Hong who raised troops against the former Qin Dynasty in Pingyang, was defeated by Dou Chong, a general of Fu Jian, and defected to Murong Hong with 80,000 cavalry.

Murong Chong's arrival immediately dispelled Murong Hong's fear of the enemy, and he wanted to be on an equal footing with Fu Jian.At this time, Murong Riwei sent a secret envoy to tell Murong Hong: "I am a prisoner, and I will never return to the country. You have to build a great cause, become a general yourself, and worship officials according to the system. When you hear the news of my death, you can become the emperor. ” Murong Hong himself also had the ambition to become emperor, after hearing the message from his eldest brother, he immediately marched to Chang’an, changed Yuan Yanxing to proclaim himself emperor, and established a set of bureaucratic institutions.History calls the regime established by Murong Hong Xiyan.Muronghong had a bad luck and had only tasted the taste of being an emperor for more than two months. Because of the harsh usage and unpopularity, he was killed by the minister Gao Gai in June of the first year of Yanxing (384 AD).
