A legendary and tragic emperor Fu Jian.
Introduction: The regret of Fu Jian, the king of Qin, is not only the defeat in the battle of Feishui, but also the inner entanglement. He never imagined that courtiers and sincere and kind friends who worshipped him would leave him and play the banner of anti-Qin. The once brotherly brothers became the other side of the confrontation between the two armies. This kind of ending is something that Fu Jian didn't expect and he didn't want to see. The hero Fu Jian was finally killed by his favorite minister, Yao Chang. Apart from his anger, that moment may be the most tangled and regrettable moment in Fu Jian's life.

Fu Jian is a legendary tragic emperor in the history of China. There is a sharp contrast between his early glory and the desolation of his later scenes, including the hero's unfinished helplessness and the regret of his unfulfilled ambition. Fu Jian conquered Yan in the east, cooled down in the west, swallowed up the country in the north, leveled the enemy pool, and settled Yizhou, thus completing the only unification in the north during the Wuhu period. Only by this, Fu Jian is worthy of the title of SHEN WOO. However, after the defeat, the former Qin Dynasty, like a building that was regularly blasted, collapsed immediately, and all the people who worked hard in Fu Jian were washed away like a flood. It is a pity that the once glorious kingdom has fallen into such a field. In fact, in Lu's view, the defeat on the battlefield did not play a decisive role in the demise of the former Qin Dynasty, or the blow of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not enough to completely defeat the former Qin Dynasty. Perhaps the ultimate reason for the demise of the empire is the helplessness of all people pushing the wall.

Fu Jian was also an extremely special emperor. It is special because in that turbulent era when iron and blood conquered the world, he insisted on "ruling the country with morality first" and made remarkable achievements. At this point, this is very valuable for a minority emperor. Fu Jian was "smart and generous, and his behavior did not exceed the moment". After growing up, he read a lot of poems and books, which is very Confucian, and this is also the basis of his benevolent government. Fu Jian's consistent concept of governing the country is to emphasize Confucianism and keep the customs. Fu Jian's glory is not only reflected in his martial arts, but also created a rare scene of prosperity in Wuhu period. "Guan, Long Qingyan, the people are happy. From Chang 'an to the states, there are trees, willows, pavilions and post stations in twenty miles. Travelers take it to the road, and merchants and vendors sell it to the road. "People live and work in peace and contentment, business is booming, pedestrians on the road are in an endless stream, and there is a feeding station. So much for prosperity. In the chaotic era of the five lakes, this place is simply a paradise on earth.

Trainable, easier said than done. The emperor spoke with dignity and thought himself superior. Who says it's not good to listen to anyone? Therefore, people who are good at teaching like Emperor Taizong are admirable. It seems that the admonition is still above Taizong. After making a series of achievements, Fu Jian will relax and go hunting in the western hills of Yecheng. Actor Wang Luo stopped the horse and warned him: You are the son of heaven, the food and clothing parents of the people. How can you go hunting? Accidents happen in an instant, just like ancestral temples. You should always think about your country. It's time to put the others aside, but it's not time to cut off Wang Luo's head. This is pure death. But this is the greatness of Fu Jian. "He stopped hunting. A player with low status can listen to what he says, which even Emperor Taizong may not be able to do. Of course, the actor's words make sense, and they also speak to Fu Jian's heart. But then again, if you are right, you have to listen to you. Look at some officials now, even if you are right, it won't work. Why? The reason is simple, because you hurt his face and his majesty.

Perhaps Yue Ji's broad-minded mind gave Fu Jian the wisdom to embrace the whole world. Being in the army enabled him to get the support of various tribes. For example, Liu, Xiongnu Zuo, sent messengers down, but the Lord protector sent people to "plunder" in the clouds. Fu Jian not only ordered Jia Yong to "return the assets he acquired", but also ordered his officials. "Small profits don't forget big letters" not only allowed Liu Zhenxin to join the army, but also some tribes in Wuwan and Xianbei voted in favor. Kindness won him the support of the people. Fu Jian attaches great importance to people's livelihood. Domestic drought, lack of food, people suffering. On the one hand, Fu Jian reduced the extravagant expenses of the harem and the salaries of officials. "In order to save food and silk, too many officials and post-officials are often relegated to second class, and hundreds of officials are relegated to second class." He also "sent envoys to inspect the four sides" to take care of those who were "lonely in their later years and unable to take care of themselves", which is equivalent to the current activities in send warm.

Fu Jian's most remarkable achievement was his benevolent governance, which made his regime more stable. When Mu Rongchui came to vote, Wang Meng said that Mu Rongchui was a "dragon and beast, an untrained thing" and a malicious character. "It is better to get rid of it." Fu Jian said: "Our party is loyal to heroes. If it hurts today, people will call me anything! " He cares about benevolence rather than motivation, so "it is polite to greet people in the suburbs." After the demise of Qianyan, Fu Jian also properly placed the old minister of Murong royal family. Fu Jian looked up to Yao Chang, a Qiang friend. Before becoming emperor, Fu Jian served as General Long Xiang. After he became emperor, "Long Xiang was never a dummy", but he gave this title to Yao Chang. It should be said that it was successful to let the unruly Wuhu forces work for the former Qin Dynasty, no matter what the later result was. His regal demeanor, tolerance and foresight made people admire him from birth. In fact, Fu Jian's kindness touched Mu Rongchui and Yao Chang, who made immortal contributions to the prosperity of the empire. Unfortunately, Fu Jian's benevolence and righteousness finally made him stumble. The defection of Mu Rongchui and Yao Chang is tantamount to sprinkling a handful of salt on Fu Jian's wound.

In fact, objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Fu Jian's benevolent policy, which is also the root of Fu Jian's final victory. The emperor in Wuhu period conquered and killed by force, but the result was resistance. Far from it, Fu Jian's predecessor, Fu Jian, was famous for his brutality and despotism, which led to people's misery. Most people are still moved by Fu Jian's benevolence and righteousness. For example, the loyal Wang Meng did not forget to plan for the future of the former Qin Dynasty before he died. He suggested that Fu Jian "don't take gold as a character" and told him to beware of Yao Chang. Xianbei and Xiqiang will eventually become a scourge and should be eliminated. Lv Guang, the general of the Western Expedition, heard that Fu Jian was killed by Yao Chang. He was "angry and mourned, and the three armies mourned" and ordered officials to "serve in March, and Shu Ren will cry for three days", which is a rare event in history.

People are not vegetation, they can be ruthless. Governing the country with morality and moving people with emotion will of course have results. However, in Lu's view, pure benevolence also has its disadvantages. To be a benevolent person, your management object must be benign. In other words, your kindness should be their motivation to serve the country to the death, not their unscrupulous excuse to borrow chickens to lay eggs. What is certain is that if all courtiers are as loyal as Wang Menghe, even if Feishui is defeated, the former Qin Dynasty will not be destroyed beyond control. However, politics is so cruel, it is not measured by emotion, and morality is not the code of conduct that politicians follow.
