Zhao Qiuyongli knocked on the door of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but no one came inside. Murong Chui stepped forward to inquire, and then he heard footsteps approaching.
"Excuse me, who is here? I didn't know this was the Ancestral Temple of the former dynasty, how could you dare to be so bold?" The pavilion guard guarding the Ancestral Temple opened the door sleepily, stretched out half of his head and asked in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Qiu coughed and said, "This is General Fujun and Marquis Bindu who were entrusted by His Majesty to go to Hebei to pacify the armies. They met the Ancestral Temple on the way and came to pay homage. Please be lenient and allow us to wait."
"My Majesty, Murong Chui, came to pay a visit to Duke Changle today. I passed by the Ancestral Temple and came here to pay homage. I hope your permission will be granted."
"It's late at night, please come back tomorrow." The pavilion official had no expression on his face and was about to close the door when Zhao Qiu stopped him.
Zhao Qiu looked coldly and asked Murong again: "Is it really not possible? You don't need to prepare incense, candles and sacrificial items, so why can't you be accommodating?
"It turns out to be General Murong, disrespectful," the pavilion official shook his head: "However, according to state laws, the former Imperial Ancestral Temple cannot be entered without Changle's permission or a warrant!"
The pavilion official yawned, shook his head and said, "No, this is the rule of the Ancestral Temple, and I can't break it for you."
Murong Chui coughed and signaled Zhao Qiu to step back. He personally stepped forward and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the pavilion official's hand. He said kindly, "Is this good?"
Touching the cold gold ingot in his hand, the pavilion official hesitated. He frowned and shook his head vigorously: "General Murong, it's not that this villain is ignorant, nor does he mean to obstruct it. This Yanguo Ancestral Temple is an extremely special place. I really can't let you in because of your existence. Although this gold ingot is good, I still have to have a life flower, don't I?"
Zhao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He got angry all of a sudden. He took the knife and kicked the door open. He cursed at the pavilion official: "My general is so stubborn that you don't listen to my advice. No." Is it just to pay homage to the spiritual throne of the late emperor of Yan State? At most, it’s just a few kowtows and a few words. You’re a very stubborn person, you’re really verbose!”
"What? Is it wrong for a villain to maintain the rules of the Ancestral Temple? You Xianbei people are really unreasonable! It has been more than ten years since the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Do you really think that you are from the Yan country?" When the pavilion official saw Zhao Qiu, he kicked the door. , having enough courage, he held his head high and said sarcastically
"What Bindu Hou is, he's just a Xianbei slave who has lost his country and his family!" The pavilion official spat and prepared to close the door.
Murong Chui was most afraid of words such as the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. What's more, the pavilion official was also biased against the Xianbei people in his words. Although Murong Chui was already a man with one foot in the coffin, he faced such an insult. I can't bear it any longer!
Murong Chui drew out his sword, rushed forward and killed the pavilion official with one blow, and cursed: "Is it Murong that a slave like you can insult at will?"
"Your Majesty, please pay your respects quickly. If the incident is leaked, it will be very difficult to leave the city!" At this point, Zhao Qiu could only move the corpses of the pavilion officials and invite Murong Chui to enter the Ancestral Temple to pay homage.
"I'll leave this to you, don't let others know."
"Don't dare disturb the king."
Murong Chui quickened his pace, and Zhao Qiu gently locked the door and went to the back door to explore the details. He killed all the people who blocked his way without leaving any one behind. In a short time, several corpses were added to the Ancestral Temple. Unknowingly, they were also He became a human sacrifice and became Murong's sacrifice.
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Murong Chui lit incense candles and illuminated the portraits of the Emperors of Yan hanging on the walls that had accumulated thick dust. He walked to the middle one with the statue of the civilized Emperor Taizu of Yan engraved on it. In front of the portrait, he gently brushed off the dirt on it with his hands, and then wiped the statue clean with his smooth sleeves. Finally, he returned it to its original position, then knelt down again and kowtowed three times!
This civilized emperor Taizu of Yan was the founder of the Yan Kingdom (former Yan), and the king of Yan, Murong He, was the biological father of Murong Chui.
Murong You was originally the governor of Pingzhou in the Jin Dynasty. He defeated the Xianbei Yuwen tribe and the Xianbei Duan tribe, commanded the Xianbei tribes in Liaodong, repelled Zhao's attack, and attacked Goguryeo in the east, becoming the overlord of Liaodong. When Zhao was in decline, , it was he who led the Murong clan to rise strongly!
On the side of Murong You's portrait is Murong Jun, the founder of the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Jingzhao. This man is Murong Chui's second brother and the one he fears the most.
Murong Jun took over the foundation of Liaodong from his father. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Zhao, Ran Min established himself on his own, sent troops south to attack the Central Plains, competed with the newly established Wei State (Ran Wei) for the world, and finally defeated and killed the Wei emperor. Ran Min proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country, replacing Zhao and Wei, occupying vast areas of Hebei and the Central Plains, and appointing brothers Murong Ke and Murong Chui. The country became so powerful that it divided the world between Qin and Jin, and once occupied a dominant position!
"Father, my son is unfilial, surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country. He failed to live up to your great expectations and ruined Dayan with his own hands. My son does not ask for your forgiveness. I only ask that you watch from the gods how your son will regain the country of Yan and let the Murong family become the leader of the Central Plains again. , Lord of the world!
"Please forgive me, father, for my son not being able to offer sacrifices to you. Now that the King of Qin is defeated at Feishui, this is a God-given opportunity for my son to revive Yan. In the future, my son will definitely collect the entire territory of Yan into a book, together with the three sacrifices." Let’s dedicate it to my father, hoping that my father can help me succeed..."
King Fu Jian of Qin was very kind to Murong Chui. Since Murong Chui surrendered fourteen years ago, Fu Jian had entrusted him with important responsibilities and privileges. He was named Bindu Marquis, granted military power, and accompanied the army in battles.
Murong Chui was naturally grateful for King Qin's preferential treatment, and he was sincerely afraid. After all, he was from Xianbei, and those in high positions in the Chang'an court of Qin were all deeply afraid of him!
In the Battle of Feishui, Duke Fu Rong of Yangping was killed and Fu Jian was defeated. Murong Chui was guarding the defense line west of the Huai River at that time. Only his 30,000 troops were not injured at all.
When Murong Chui learned that the King of Qin was in trouble, he was anxious and led his elite cavalry to the front line of Shouyang to rescue him. At that time, Liu Laozhi and He Qian, two famous generals of the Beifu Army, pursued him all night. King Fu Jian of Qin's life was hanging on by a flash of lightning. , Murong Chui took advantage of the situation and rushed out, catching Liu Laozhi and He Qian off guard, and covered Fu Jian, whose life was hanging by a thread, to escape from Huaibei.
Later, when King Fu Jian of Qin returned to Chang'an, he took the opportunity to offer to comfort the soldiers and civilians of the Xianbei and Dingling ethnic groups in Hebei for Qin, and to guard the northern border for King Qin. Fu Jian knew that he had a plan, and thought of his rescue, he did not listen to Shangshu Zuo. Pu She Quan Yi's advice stopped Murong Chui, but instead gave him three thousand men to leave.
After they parted ways in Xingyang, Murong Chui and Fu Jian knew in their hearts that they would never have the chance to see each other again. Fu Jian was busy reorganizing the country and purging the country internally and externally, while Murong Chui had grand plans in his mind and the important task of reviving the Yan Kingdom. !
