Murong Xianbei of the Hu people's story - the eighth tragedy of music, Murong ends

In the previous articles, we talked about the so-called former, post, western, and northern Yan established by Murong Shi. Finally, there was a Southern Yan, whose demise also meant the end of the Murong clan.

Let's briefly review the various "Yan" countries. Murong Hao established the state of Yan as "Former Yan", and his grandson was destroyed by Former Qin. His son Murong Chui first surrendered to Jian Jian, and after the defeat of the Shuishui army, he broke away from Jian Jian and re-established the State of Yan, known in history as "Later Yan". These two were orthodox Yan kingdoms. The Western Yan founded by Murong Chui's nephew was destroyed in a battle with Murong Chui, and Western Yan was only ten years old. After Murong Chui's death, his son Murong Bao was unable to defeat tuoba Tuoba Jue of Northern Wei, who was also a humble man, and fled north all the way, establishing the so-called "Northern Yan" and finally a scaled-down version of Northern Yan fell to murong Xi.

So what is the situation of "Nanyan"? This brings us to Murong Hao's other son, Murong Chui's younger brother Murong De.

The least ambitious person in the Murong family, except for Murong Ke, was Murong De. (Like Murong Chui, they were sons of Murong Hao, the founding emperor of Former Yan.) Murong Ke loyally assisted his nephew, and Murong De was a king of idle who hardly asked about state affairs.

Murong De, who was the King of Fanyang of the Yan state, had no intention of claiming to be emperor, and after the destruction of Former Yan, his brother had a hard time reviving the State of Yan, and the Later Yan that had been established by his brother became worse and worse at the hands of his nephew Murong Bao, and was chased by Northern Wei and beaten, and under extreme disappointment, he led 100,000 soldiers and civilians under Yicheng to wander to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and declared independence at Huatai (present-day Huaxian County, Henan).

Huaxian County was small and in the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by strong enemies without danger, and in order to keep Murong Shi's incense in the chaos of the war, he began to look for a new fulcrum. The Qilu land, which has a long history of Confucian culture, is an excellent place for recuperation and recuperation. In the fourth year (400) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong De moved the capital to Guanggu (廣固, in present-day Qingzhou, Shandong), officially declared himself emperor to the world, and changed his name to Murong Beide, thus giving birth to the historical Southern Yan.

Life always has flowers blossoming and falling, and there is sunrise and sunset. Five years later, during the season when the grass and trees were falling, Murong Bide also died. A 21-year-old beautiful boy on the throne, his name is Murong Chao, is the nephew of the old emperor.

He was a superphile of music and spent more than half of his time in the palace listening to the long-trained court band. Over time, his perception of music has reached an extraordinary level, and musicians have continued to innovate and explore under his supervision. Therefore, the court band of Southern Yan was famous and famous in The Sea.

He was also an extremely filial and affectionate person, and in order to redeem his mother and wife, who had been under house arrest by Later Qin Yaoxing for a long time, he sent people to negotiate terms with Yao Xing, cutting up land and giving money. But the other party also loves music, and says that he will use a court band to change it. After much hesitation, Murong Chao agreed. It also laid the foundation for the demise of Southern Yan.

On New Year's Day of the fifth year of Yixi (409), he received pilgrimage from his courtiers in the palace, and according to the custom, the court band played auspicious music. The young emperor was angry, and the newly recruited musicians could not compare with the musicians of the past, in both skill and demeanor. So, as a music super enthusiast, he was overwhelmed, and he ordered to rob people from the control area of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Rob the ladies to train in music and rebuild the world's number one court band.

At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty could not afford to provoke, because the actual person in power was Liu Yu, who was in the limelight. You joke, others can't hide too late, he doesn't provoke you to burn incense. You also run his turf to rob people, it is heaven has a way you do not go, hell has no door you come to vote!

Boss Liu was attacking in the direction of Lingnan and Sichuan at that time, and if it were not for the Southern Yan robbery incident, Liu Yu might not have been embarrassed for this neighbor little brother who had a good relationship and was not very harmful.

Since you are looking for your own death, then I will fulfill you! Liu Yuzheng dispatched a large army from Jiankang to enter Surabaya via the Huai River, where he met Murong Chao at Linqu, and after a few rounds, Murong Chao lost his jade seal and honor guard, and fled back to the capital. Guanggu was besieged, and the water and grain routes were cut off. Four months later, Murong Chao, who wanted to take advantage of the night to break through, was captured by the Jin army.

The music lover Super Enthusiast Emperor Nanyan was escorted to Jiankang by a prison cart and publicly beheaded in the downtown area, when he died at the age of 26. It is said that when he was about to be executed, he also asked why he couldn't hear the music accompaniment!

After that, all 3,000 members of the Murong family were beheaded, and the Murong family, once the most influential family in China, disappeared. Jin Yong's Murong Fu is just a fictional character.

Because of the fall of music, Murong Chao was probably the first person in ancient and modern times! The illustrious Murong family ended in Chinese history because of this, and it is really difficult to say how to comment. Maybe it's sadness, or maybe it's like their last name, there's a touch of romantic sadness.
