The prince will have a kind of Xiangning? Feng Hong has been waiting for an opportunity.
The eldest brother, Feng Bao, was the Emperor of Northern Yan, and because he ruled the country well, he was deeply supported by his subjects. Feng Hong has no gap to find,
As long as the emperor led the country healthily, Feng Hong could only be a loyal subject
。
There were four Feng brothers, the eldest brother was the emperor, and the second brother Feng Sufu was once the chancellor of Northern Yan, he was strict with the law, and devoted himself to assisting his brother, but died when the state was founded 7 years ago.
As the third oldest Feng Hong, his position is not as good as that of the second brother, and he does not want to live like Feng Sufu, he wants the position of the boss.
Opportunities always come before those who are prepared, even if it is a matter of usurpation
First, usurp the throne with a fierce heart
In the autumn of 430, Feng Hong closely watched the changes in the imperial situation. It is said that the emperor, who is seriously ill, will be cured and will soon return to government. The crown prince surrendered the responsibility of overseeing the country and made way for the return of his father. The ensuing holy decree is puzzling:
"It is only the temple of The Temple, and the wings and the sons and ministers are not allowed to see it." Zizhi Tongjian
The emperor's illness was cured, but it was impossible for the emperor and the ministers to see the emperor, and there was only something to say through the eunuch. When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Feng Hong sent people to inquire around and gather loyal warriors in the palace to make perfect preparations.
The palace was tightly sealed, and Feng Hongzheng was troubled by the lack of information, and Hu Fu suddenly came to visit, bringing him shocking but dreaming news.
The emperor was bedridden, and his life was at stake. The palace was controlled by Lady Song, Feng Bao's favorite concubine, who blocked the news and wanted to set up her own son Feng Shouju to seize the throne after emperor Bin Tianhou.
The opportunity that Feng Hong was waiting for appeared:
The emperor was no longer able to give orders, and Lady Song stopped in the imperial city, and the prince sat in the Eastern Palace
。 At this time, it was the time when he played fast and slow, and showed his skills. Feng Hong was in charge of guarding the imperial palace, and he knew the layout and defense of it. Maybe I have already made a plan, and I don't need to think about it too much,
With dozens of samurai, he entered the palace.
Faced with a sudden attack, Lady Song tried to close the palace door to fight, but to no avail. Feng Hong led people straight into the emperor's palace, an arrow shot the maid in front of the emperor's bed, blood splashed, and the seriously ill Feng Bao witnessed the great change, but he was powerless, and in a panic, he swallowed his last breath.
Feng Hong took advantage of the situation to ascend to the Golden Ruan Hall and announced that he was on the throne
。 He sent an army to suppress the forces of the former dynasty, suppressed the crown prince Feng Yi and his Eastern Palace guards who came to seize power, and forced the prince to commit suicide. subsequently
Feng Bao's descendants, more than 100 sons were all killed.
Second, force the third son
Feng Hong ascended to the throne of the Northern Yan Emperor as he wished, and also began his short, self-made and clever road to the destruction of the country.
Wang was Feng Hong's wife, who bore him three sons, and the position of shizi was also occupied by Feng Chong, the eldest son of Wang. But Feng Hong's other woman, Murong Shi, was born into the royal family of Hou Yan and had a noble status, while Northern Yan evolved from Later Yan. Feng Hong felt that she could make her ascension to the throne more legitimate, so she deposed Wang's wife and Feng Chongshizi's status, leaving her out of the town of Liaoxi Feiru. In March 431,
Murong Shi was made empress, and a year later Murong Shi's son Feng Wangren was made crown prince
Wang's sons became shuzi, but Empress Murong was still uneasy about them, for fear of threatening her only son. Feng Chong's brothers Feng Lang the Duke of Guangping and Feng Mi the Duke of Leling were like birds of fright, unable to survive and fleeing to their brothers.
Chongmu's younger brother Guangping Gonglang and Leling Gongmiao said: "There is great luck, the family country is dead, and Murong Zhizhi is here, and the disaster is coming." "So he went out of The West of Liaoning and persuaded Chonglai to surrender, chongnazhi." Book of Wei
It just so happened that the mighty Northern Wei came to surrender,
The three brothers felt that they could not tolerate Murong Shi, and sooner or later they were killed, and after consulting, they surrendered to Northern Wei
Feng Chong was given the title of King of Western Liaoning. When Feng Hong heard this, he sent the general Feng Yu to suppress it, but Feng Yu also surrendered to Northern Wei.
Third, the faint moves are frequent
In 434, in the face of Northern Wei's strength, Feng Hong had no choice but to ask for peace, and after being rejected, he had to ask for guilt and send his young daughter to the Wei palace. Emperor Taiwu tuoba tao was still not satisfied,
If Feng Hong wanted to send his son Feng Wangren as a hostage, both sides could strike
It is reasonable to say that Feng Hong no longer had the capital to compete with Northern Wei, but somehow something went wrong, perhaps it was Empress Murong's pillow wind, he refused Northern Wei's request. Liu Xunyan, a regular attendant on the scattered horse, said: The subjugation of the country is imminent, and only by seeking perfection through the commission, and then exerting efforts to govern and develop production, can it be possible to save the crisis.
"Although he is married and communicative, but he does not send his attendants, if Wei makes a big move, he will be in danger... May the time send the son of the world to honor the fate of the great power." Then collect the scattered, thick cloth enze, divide the relief warehouse to help the people lack, persuade the governor of the sang to invite autumn barnyard, the great cause of Shu is in danger and more secure, and the community can be guaranteed forever. "Book of Wei"
Contrary to his word, Feng Hong actually killed Liu Xunyan
。 However, in the face of the Northern Wei crusade, the land was lost day by day, and Feng Hong was helpless. He repeatedly refused the ministers' requests for protons, and was forced to be anxious,
He also planned to defect to Goguryeo, but his vassals firmly opposed it
：
1. Goguryeo was a weak country and was simply powerless to resist the Northern Wei;
2. Goguryeo has a low degree of enlightenment and does not pay attention to credit;
But Feng Hong insisted on going his own way, set fire to the city, and defected to Goguryeo.
"In the second year of Taiyan, Goryeo sent Ge Lu and others to lead the crowd to welcome them, enter the City of Helong, get rid of their shortcomings, and take the Wentong Jing battle to give them the crowd. Buntong was a member of his city who entered Goryeo. "Book of Wei"
In Goguryeo, Feng Hong still maintained the style of Emperor of Northern Yan, and the two sides soon fell into a stalemate.
Goguryeo forcibly took Feng Hong's attendants away and took Feng Wangren, the prince of Northern Yan, hostage
。 Feng Hong was very angry and planned to leave and go south to defect to the Song during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, after all, Northern Yan and Goguryeo had claimed domains to the Song. Emperor Wen of Song agreed to the request brought by Feng Hong's emissaries, but at this time,
The Northern Wei also demanded people from Goguryeo
Otherwise, we will have to fight each other.
"Goryeo took his attendants and pledged wang ren. Wentong was resentful and plotted to run south. Sezu also enlisted Wentong in Goryeo, and Goryeo killed him in Beifeng, and his descendants died more than ten people at the same time. "
Goguryeo was jealous of the treatment given to Feng Hong by the Song Dynasty, but also unwilling to offend Northern Wei for a person who had destroyed the country, so he killed Feng Hong and his descendants.
epilogue:
Feng Hong coveted the Northern Yan regime for many years, and once he succeeded, in addition to the fierceness of cutting grass and roots, he had no desire to govern the country at all, and within a few years after ascending the throne, he buried the Northern Yan that his brother Feng Bao had worked hard to govern.
Feng Hong's abilities could not match his ambitions.
