Lu long (?)? Yongji, born in Lueyang (today's Tianshui City, Gansu Province), is the son of Lu Bao, the younger brother of Lu Guang, Emperor liangwuyi, and the last king of the late Liang Dynasty.

In 403 A.D., under the attack of Nanliang and Beiliang, Lu long was forced to surrender to houqin, and Houliang perished.

In 416, Lu long was killed for conspiring against his son Lu Bi.

Life of the characters

The throne of heaven

Lu long has a beautiful face and is good at riding and shooting. In the last years of his reign, LV Guang was appointed as the northern guard, and later gradually took on the important position, which made him very famous. In 401 A.D. (the third year of Later Liang Xianning), LV Chao, the younger brother of LV long, killed LV Zuan and gave way to LV long. LV long was embarrassed. Lu Chao said: "now it's like driving a dragon to heaven. How can you be in the lower class?" Lu long became king of heaven. Lu Chao got a small tripod in Fanhe in advance. He thought it was a auspicious omen from the gods. He pardoned the whole world and changed his name to Shending. Lu long respected his father Lu Bao as Emperor Wen, his mother Wei Di as empress dowager, and his wife Yang as Queen. Because his younger brother Lu Chao had helped him, he was honored as envoy Chijie, Minister of state, commander in chief of Chinese and foreign military affairs, Assistant General of the state, commander in chief of Sili, and Lushang Shushi. He was granted the title of Anding Gong and named Lu Zuan Emperor Ling.

Around the city

In March of 401 A.D. (the first year of Shending), the king of Kang in Nanliang attacked Houliang. Lu long fought against him and was defeated. After forced migration, more than 2000 households of Liangliang returned. In May 401 (the first year of Shending), Jiao Lang of Wei'an sent envoys to persuade Yao shuoder, the Minister of Yao Xing, the emperor of the later Qin Dynasty, to say, "because of the turmoil of the former Qin Dynasty, the LV family issued orders in this state. Since the death of LV Guang, his sons have been fighting against each other, ignoring morality, politics, law and discipline, promoting cruel tyranny, starving and exiled, and more than half of them died. They have to cry and talk to Haotian, but they are very good Cheng didn't get the response from heaven. Fu Weiming was more just and righteous than his predecessors. He had a noble position and was in charge of Shaanxi. He should annex the weak and attack the ignorant. He should govern one side, save the living from the downfall, and carry out good politics in Yumen. It is not difficult to succeed in usurping power. " Jiao Lang sent his wife and son as hostages. Yao shuoder then led the troops to guzang. His ministry, Yao Guofang, said to him, "now the army is on an expedition of three thousand li, and there are no reinforcements behind it. It's a big problem in the use of troops. We should show our great strength and show our bravery to the enemy. They think that if we come all the way here, we will fight to the death, and then we can be pacified. " Yao shuoder followed his advice. LV Chao went out to fight and fled back. Lu long collected scattered soldiers and surrounded the city.

Send an envoy to surrender

At that time, most of the people in Eastern Houliang wanted to rebel. In August of 401 (the first year of Shending), general Wei Yiduo incited the people's hearts again, so he planned to kill LV long and LV Chao. It was revealed that LV long killed him, and more than 300 families were implicated in his death. In this case, the ministers asked to be friendly with Yao Xingtong, but LV long did not agree. Lu Chao admonished: "there are appropriate times for communication and breaking diplomatic relations. Hardship and peace are more compatible. Sun Quan bows to Cao Wei and Qiao Zhou persuades the Lord to surrender. Isn't he a big man? It's because of the situation. Zhang Tianxi of Qianliang inherited the rule that lasted for seven generations. For nearly a hundred years, he had a hundred thousand soldiers and a full court of counsellors. When the army of the former Qin Dynasty came, knowledgeable people enlightened him to act according to circumstances, but he was headstrong and arbitrary, and his country was in ruins. It is not far to learn from the past, and it is a reference for us. Why not give up a letter and an emissary instead of turning danger into safety! What's more, let's use respectful and modest words to fight back the enemy, and then carry out moral administration within the country. The decline and prosperity are decided by people, and will not harm the country's overall plan. " Lu long said: "although I am an ordinary person, I am shouldering the important responsibility of being the leader of the country. I can't inherit and keep the established foundation, protect the stability of the country, and hand over the foundation of Taizu (LV Guang) to others. How dare I go underground to see the former Emperor!" LV Chao said: "Yinglong regards the change of flexion and extension as aura, and adults regard it as a good thing to know the truth. Now, with years of war, the reserves are running out, and the strong enemy is advancing from the outside, the people are crying out that they have no way to make a living. Even Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Han Xin and Bai Qi don't know what to do! Your majesty should think about the expedient plan and let go of ordinary people's worries. If the number of generations passed on is limited, there will be no peace. If the destiny has gone, the clan can be preserved. " Lvlong obeyed and sent his envoy to surrender. Yao shuoder invited Ren Lulong to serve as envoy Chijie, Zhenxi general, Liangzhou governor and Jiankang Duke. Lu long then sent his mother's younger brother, Aizi, old civil and military officials Murong Zhu, Yang Ying, Shi Nan and Yan Song to Chang'an as hostages, and Yao shuoder went back. Yao Xing's counsellors all said, "Lu long ruled outside the river by virtue of his uncle's remaining business. Now, despite hunger and distress, they are able to support themselves. In the future, if there is a wealth of materials, it will not be what our country can possess. The terrain of Liangzhou is very dangerous. When the world is hard, they will rebel. When the world is clear, they will surrender. It's better to seize him when he is in famine. " Yao Xing sent messengers to observe the reality.

He was killed after the fall of his country

At that time, the price of guzanggu, the capital of Houliang, soared. A bucket was worth 5000 Wen. People ate people and starved more than 100000 people. The gate of the city was closed during the day, and there were no woodcutters or firewood collectors on the road. Hundreds of people asked to go out of the city to be slaves to the barbarians every day. Lu long worried that this would disturb people's hearts, so he killed them all, and the corpses piled up on the road. In February 402 (the second year of Shending), Juqu Mengxun led the army to attack guzang. Lu long sent envoys to ask baldness for help. Bald Li Lu Gu sent Guangwu Duke bald Tan to rescue Lu long with ten thousand cavalry. Before he arrived, Lu long had already defeated the troops of Mengxun in Juqu. Juqu Mengxun asked to make peace with LV long, and left more than 10000 grains to LV long for relief. In October 402 ad (the second year of Shending), the king of nanliangjing attacked guzang. In 403 A.D. (the third year of Shending), Lu long was attacked frequently by baldness Tan and Juqu Mengxun. He sent LV Chao and 200 cavalry with many treasures to ask Yao Xing to pick him up. Yao Xing sent his ministry Qi nan to welcome him with 40000 cavalry. When Qi Nan arrived at guzang, Lu long met him by the side of the road. He sent LV Yin to say goodbye to LV Guang temple and said, "Your Majesty used to devise a magic plan to establish the country in the Western Xia Dynasty, and his virtue was respected by the common people. Side branch heirs are not good, one after another to usurp the throne and kill each other. I'm going to return to Tokyo. I'd like to say goodbye to your majesty here. " Sobbing, bitterness moved Yao Xing's sergeant. Lu long led more than 10000 households and followed Qi nan to move eastward to Chang'an. Yao Xing appointed Lu long as a regular official on horseback, and the title of Duke was the same. He appointed Lu Chao as the governor of stability. He promoted and appointed more than 30 civil and military officials, and then died. In February 416 (the 18th year of later Qin Hongshi), Lu long was killed for conspiring against his son Lu Bi.

Political initiatives

During the reign of Lu long, he used the method of wantonly killing famous families to build up his prestige and reputation. Therefore, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the imperial court of the Later Liang Dynasty.

Anecdotes

In the year of 401 A.D., there are only ten thousand stars fighting each other. Shortly after the incident, general Wei Yi planned to kill Lu long. Because of the exposure, he was killed by Lu long. Later, because Lu long was attacked by Nanliang and Beiliang frequently, he surrendered to houqin, and Houliang also perished.
