In 369 AD, Sima Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led an army of 50,000 men and began the last northern expedition in his life. The Eastern Jin Dynasty army was overwhelming, and soon arrived at the mansion dozens of miles away from Dragon City.
At this critical moment of life and death, Murong Chui led the former Yan army to resist desperately, and finally defeated Huan Wen, who was in charge. This is the famous battle of the house in history.
After this battle, Murong Chui was jealous of the Empress Dowager and Murong Ping, so he had to take his family to Former Qin. Fu Jian personally went to the suburbs to greet him, which shows how much he attaches importance to this.
Wang Meng, the former prime minister of Qin, has always been wary of Murong Chui, speculating that he is definitely not a creature in the pool, and one day he will betray his master and set up his own door, but Fu Jian did not expect so.
In order to get rid of Murong Chui's father and son, Wang Meng finally proposed the "Golden Sword Plan" after careful consideration. One of the most unique aspects of the program is that people are invited into the urn. Although it ended in failure, no one has been able to solve it so far.
So, what is the "Golden Sword Strategy"? Why is it more vicious than the "Twitter Favor Order"? Why is the "Golden Sword Conspiracy" among the four major conspiracies? This starts with Murong Chui defecting to Qianqin.
Jealous of talents, Murong Chui ran away.
There are no rivers and lakes in the world, but where there are people, there are grievances, and where there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes. Murong Chui was a former Yan family nobleman. When he was 13 years old, he fought with his father Murong Huang. He made many military exploits and was named King of Wu.
In 365 AD, Murong Chui cooperated with Murong Ke to attack Luoyang, and was worshiped as the general of the Southern Expedition and Jingzhou Mu for his merits. As Murong Trai's popularity grew, many people began to worry about his reputation.
After the Battle of Fangtou, the Kezu Hun clan, who held a grudge against Murong Chui for killing his wife, and Murong Ping, the imperial uncle who was jealous of his talent, tried every means to get rid of him.
After Murong Chui's uncle Lan Jian learned of this, he secretly sent someone to spread the word: "You come up with advice early, it's best to strike first!" Later, because Murong Trai didn't want to confront his opponent head-on, he kept hesitating.
Murong Ke's son, Murong Kai, told Murong Chui: "Now that they have decided to get rid of you, you must make a plan as soon as possible. Murong Chui had no choice but to tell his son Murong Ling about it.
Later, the father and son took the opportunity to go to Yecheng in the name of hunting. Unfortunately, Murong Lin, the youngest son who has always been unliked by Murong Chui, took the opportunity to report his father and younger brother.
defected to Qianqin, which made Wang Meng jealous.
At the critical moment, Murong Chui and Murong Ling had no choice but to defect to Qianqin. When Fu Jian learned that Murong Chui was coming to Qin, he was so happy that he danced with joy. Because Fu Jian knew that Murong Chui was a genius who fell from the sky.
However, Prime Minister Wang Meng is very worried about this. He said to Fu Jian: "Your Majesty, Murong Chui is the former minister of the Yan family, and this move is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house; Secondly, with the character of Murong Chui's father and son, they must not be taken seriously. "A drawback. ”
But Fu Jian didn't believe it. Wang Meng's statement. On the contrary, he gave Murong Chui a generous official position and a good salary, which also made Wang Meng very worried. After all, Qianyan and Qianqin are incompatible. Accepting Qianyan's surrender now will inevitably intensify the contradictions between the two countries.
However, Fu Jian didn't listen to Wang Meng's words, and within a few days, he had a fierce quarrel with Murong Chui. As a battle-hardened strategist, Murong Chui knew the truth of shooting the first bird, so he lived in seclusion during the pre-Qin period.
As a cunning strategist, Wang Meng couldn't let go of his old enemy Murong Chui. In order to get rid of Murong Trai as soon as possible, after some thought, he finally came up with an ingenious method.
The "Golden Sword Secret" of the eternal conspiracy
And behind this so-called brilliant plan is the "Golden Sword Secret", which is known as the first conspiracy of the ages. If this strategy is to be implemented publicly, then the best person is Murong Ling.
Compared with the cautious Murong Chui, Murong Ling was more impatient and had no ability to take care of the overall situation. Therefore, Wang Meng decided to start with Murong Ling first, and then achieve the goal of eradicating Murong Ling.
Since Murong Chui was Fu Jian's guest, his son was the easiest target. In terms of governing the country, Wang Meng can be called Wang Zuozhi, but in terms of scheming, he is an extremely vicious person.
Soon Wang Meng waited for this opportunity. In 370 AD, Fu resolutely decided to send troops to recruit Yan and appointed Wang Meng as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Wang Meng took the opportunity to recommend Murong Ling as an army guide and asked him to accompany the army on the expedition. Fu Jian agreed without thinking about it.
The night before the troops departed, Wang Meng made a special trip to Murong Chui's house. Seeing the arrival of the distinguished guests, Murong Chui instructed the servants to prepare a banquet for Wang Meng.
Wang Meng was a powerful minister in the pre-Qin period. It was a very strange thing for him to find Murong Fu in person. In addition, Murong Chui's son Murong Ling was under Wang Meng's account, so he also had to bow to Wang Meng.
With three wines and five dishes, Wang Meng squinted his drunken eyes and said to Murong Chui: "The army will set off tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't see each other in a few days." "It's been days. Why don't you give me something? After listening to Wang Meng's words, Murong Chui looked around and found that there was nothing valuable to give away, so he took off the golden knife from his waist, held it in his hand, handed it to Wang Meng, and said, "If nothing else." You can hand over the golden sword to the prime minister. ”
Wang Meng pulled the golden sword, his expression did not change, but his heart was full of joy. On the other hand, Murong didn't realize that he had fallen into a trap until this moment. Wang Meng fell into a trap that was carefully designed for him and Murong Ling.
When Wang Meng led the Former Qin army to attack Luoyang, another key figure in the Golden Sword strategy appeared. He is Murong Chui's best friend Jin Xi, but he defected to Wang Meng for profit.
At Wang Meng's behest, Jin Xi found Murong Ling with Murong Chui's golden knife: "Your father ordered me to tell you that since you came to Former Qin, you have been marginalized by Wang Meng, and sooner or later you will die in Former Qin." "In his hands. ”
Seeing Murong Ling's doubts, Jin Xi continued to add fuel to the fire: "Your father has begun to flee now. He told me to tell you that you have to plan early. ”
Because Murong Ling was unable to get in touch with his father at that time, he misunderstood that Jinxi was inciting discord, so he left the military camp in the name of hunting and ran back to Qianyan.
When Murong Trai learned that Murong Ling had returned to Qianyan, everyone was scared to death, and Murong Trai fled in a hurry to avoid dying in a foreign country.
As a result, he was captured in an ambush arranged by Wang Meng and brought back to Chang'an. an.Wang Meng originally thought that Fu Jian would kill Murong Trai because of this, but he was deeply troubled, and unexpectedly, Fu Jian not only did not blame Murong Trai, but treated him as before.
Conclusion. However, Murong Chui was by no means a kind man, and he did not repay the favor, but as Wang Meng said, Hou Yan was finally established in 384 AD, and Jin Jian's strategy seemed vicious, but unfortunately ended in failure.
Jin Jian's strategy seemed to be a failure, but in fact it changed the course of history, even if it did not achieve the ultimate goal of killing Murong Ling, but it led to the unfortunate death of his son Murong Ling, and indirectly caused the decline of Hou Yan.
Assuming that Murong Ling did not die, then the history of Houyan may be very different, but history does not make assumptions, and does not allow assumptions. In a sense, the Golden Sword conspiracy seems to have failed on the surface, but in fact, under the baptism of time, it has finally achieved its desired purpose.
On the other hand, the "Tween Order" was one of the four great conspiracies of antiquity. "Whether it is the means or the effect, it seems that it is inferior to the strategy of the golden sword.
