According to historical records, Yao Cang, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, was scared to death. December 393 BC. Yao Changni, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, died in Chang'an at the age of 64. The main reason for his death four months after his serious illness was that the same nightmare had accompanied him since he had established the Later Jin regime. Otherwise, he might have lived a few more years. So why does Yao Cang have nightmares for a long time? What exactly triggered his heart disease?

This starts with the reason why he was able to establish the Later Jin regime, Yao Cang's original Qiang people, and from May 357 AD, he served the Former Jin regime at that time. He was also a member of the Tiger Generals whom the third emperor Fu ma relied heavily on, and was initially given the title of General of Yang Wu. And in the many battles that followed, he continued to help Fukuma seize a lot of territory. Therefore, the power and status in the former Jin court were also rising.
Of course, this is mainly due to Fu Jian's emphasis on Yao Cang. However, the good times did not last long, and after the defeat of the Former Jin at the Battle of Hishui, Fukuma made a very ridiculous decision during the battle. This was the total annihilation of the advancing army, so his prestige in the imperial court was worse than a day. In addition, he still posed as a rigid arm for his own use, which led to the outbreak of civil unrest in the former Jin Dynasty. And it was at this time that Yao Cang, who was originally loyal to Fuma, also had a great disagreement with Fuma.
The main reason is that Fukuma gave birth to a son of a pit daddy. After the defeat of the Feishui army, the northern governor Shi Mu Ronghong took the lead in raising troops in Guanzhong and established the Western Yan regime on the territory he had divided. In order to fight for the rebellious Fukuma, yao cang and his son Fu Rui were sent to encircle and suppress it. In this battle, Yao Cang and Fu Rui had a big disagreement in terms of combat strategy. To say that Fu Rui, after all, he did not have any actual combat experience, and Yao Cang was a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles, so the result could be imagined.
Fury was stubborn and led the army to go deep alone, only to encounter an ambush in the western yan. Not only did the entire former Jin army suffer heavy losses, but Fu Rui himself was also killed on the battlefield. After Fukuma learned the news of Fury's death in battle, he felt that this was completely Yao Cang's responsibility, so he wanted to blame him. Yao Cang was afraid in his heart, so he fled to the Area of Northern Wei in a panic. Since then, this section of military ministers who originally valued the other side very much has completely parted ways. After Yao Cang fled to Northern Wei, he had already declared it. Some of the nearby Hao clans came to him one after another and elected him as their ally.
After having such an identity and power, more than 100,000 people in the rivers and lakes in the north, Xinping, Anding and other places all came to him. Therefore, he gave himself a series of titles, including, Great General, Da Dan Yu, and Wang. As a result, the Later Jin dynasty was established and completely abandoned. After the Jin Dynasty became emperor, Yao Cang did not rush to seek justice from Fujian, but adopted a policy of cultivating and living. He kept recruiting soldiers and horses, and amassing grain and grass, perhaps because he knew that there would be a war between himself and Fukuma sooner or later, and this was indeed the case.
It was a month after he became emperor, in June 384 AD. Fukuma personally led the infantry and more than 20,000 cavalry to attack Yao Cang. At first, Fukuma won a small victory and completely cut off Yao Cang's army's water transportation route. Without water supplies, Yao Cang's army was in a critical situation, and some people in the army were already dying of thirst. However, what I didn't expect was that it seemed that God had moved the balance of victory to Yao Cang's side. Not long after the water source was cut off, it suddenly began to rain heavily in the sky. I have to say that this GanLin quenched the thirst of Yao Cang's army in an extremely timely manner. Not only that, Yao Cang also asked the generals in the army to use various containers to collect rainwater. The morale of the army, which had already fallen to the bottom, suddenly rose.
After that, Yao Cang led the highly morale of the army to fight against Fujian one after another, and the momentum was completely reversed. Yao Cang clearly had the upper hand, and his army increased to more than 70,000 because of prisoners of war. Seeing this situation, Fukuma had to return from defeat, and Yao Cang did not dare to kill Fukuma after winning the victory. He even released dozens of generals such as Yang Bi and Xu Cheng, who had been captured in the course of the battle. After fujian was defeated in the battle against Yao Cang, and in 385 AD, he was unable to resist the rivalry between the two brothers Murong Hong and Murong Chong, who were at the forefront.
So he asked the crown prince Fu Hong to help guard Chang'an, and he himself led a small group of people to flee to The Wujiang Mountain. After learning that Fukuma had fled to The Martial General Mountain, Yao Cang immediately sent the general Wu Zhong to pursue and besiege Fukuma, and when he saw the army that had come to fight, Fukuma, who was originally small in number, immediately scattered and fled, and finally only a dozen people were left around Fukuma. However, he still managed to escape to the Wujiang Mountain, and soon after, Wu Zhong chased after FuJian's hiding place.
Then, he was taken to a Buddhist temple in Xinping City, put under house arrest, and then went to Yao Cang. After learning that Fukuma had been arrested, it wasn't long before Yao Cang went to see Fukuma. The main purpose of his seeing Fukuma was to get out of Fukuma's mouth the place where the Imperial Jade Seal was. With the Chuanguo Jade Seal, he, the King of Qin of The Ten Thousand Dynasties, would become more righteous. However, what he did not expect was that Fu Jian gave Yao Cang a shock, mainly focusing on two points. First, he said that Yao Cang was of the Qiang ethnic group and did not deserve to receive the Imperial Jade Seal. On the second point, he said that Yao Cang was a traitorous minister, so what face did he have to ask for the Imperial Jade Seal?
Between the words, Fu ma's words could be said to be how ugly and how hard to hear, Yao Cang saw that there was no hope of obtaining the Chuanguo Jade Seal, and he was already completely irritated by what Fu Ma said. So he strangled Fukuma alive in the Buddhist temple. After that, in order to cover up the scandal of killing Fukuma with his own hands, he also posthumously crowned Fukuma as the heroic Heavenly King. But even so, he never let go of this matter until his death. This also became the source of his nightmares from then on, only because he had done such a murderous thing.
Speaking of which, we have found the reason why Yao Cang often has nightmares. So what kind of scenes are his nightmares? And why did he shout such a sentence before he died? According to historical records, the scene of Yao Cang's nightmares is generally a blessing of ascending to heaven after death, leading the heavenly soldiers to descend everywhere to hunt him down. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he would panic, and when he faced the blessing in his dream, he would often fall to his knees and shout loudly. It wasn't me who killed you, it was my brother who killed you. Don't look for me, go find him.
Just like this, Yao Cang was tormented by the same nightmare for nine years, and every time she woke up in terror. And with each nightmare, his fear increases by a few points. This should also be one of the important reasons why he died nine years later because he was seriously ill.
Regarding Yao Cang's death, in addition to the death of illness, there is a very specific theory. There was every time Yao Cang woke up from a nightmare, he would run around the palace. As he ran, he ordered his attendants to help him stab the ghost. Coincidentally, when the worker helped him stab the ghost, he accidentally stabbed him in the key point. Not long after that, he died of excessive blood loss. However, no matter what kind of death method, I think this founding prince of the Later Jin Dynasty should also be one of the few emperors in our country's history who was scared to death by nightmares.
