Everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Han Fan. He looked as usual and said: "My colleagues, we are all Han people, and we are also powerful families in the land of Qilu. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, our ancestors have been alive.
Living on this land for generations, no matter who becomes the leader of this Qilu land, they must take care and consider our influence. Since the chaos in the late Jin Dynasty and the Wuhu chaos in China, this Qi land has changed hands many times and changed hands.
Lord, the reason why our family can be as stable as Mount Tai, and can maintain power and wealth no matter who comes, is because we can protect the people, serve the new regime, and be useful to them."
Many officials all nodded in agreement, and Han Fan continued: "Since Dayan came to Qingzhou, the Pilu clan, as a powerful leader at that time, also summoned our families to discuss war and defense matters. At that time, we wanted to
As usual, he proposed to the late emperor as a minister, but Piluhun, who had been the governor for several years, his desire for power affected his normal judgment and actually took the initiative to attack the late emperor. He did not even think about it, the soldiers and horses the late emperor brought across the river belonged to Dayan.
How can our Qilu soldiers, who have not practiced military skills for many years, be able to fight against the elite soldiers and strong generals? At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also in civil war, and it was impossible to send troops to rescue. The wise choice was to surrender to the late emperor to protect the family and Qilu.
the people."
Gao Gai nodded and said: "What Xiang Han said is so good. We only survived because we listened to your advice and did not follow Piluhun to fight against the army. When the late emperor was still alive, he treated us with great courtesy, which was also because of his kindness.
The children of Xianbei aristocrats learn Han etiquette, and Kai Taixue teaches me Central Plains classics. This makes us very happy, just like Fu Lang, the governor of Qingzhou in the former Qin Dynasty. If the barbarians can do this, then there is no need to care about the Han and Hu people.
What’s the difference?”
Han Fan sighed: "The late emperor did this because in the land of Qilu, it is impossible to fight and kill like the grassland. If we, the Han people, are to serve the Yan honestly, cultivate the fields and supply grain, we can only give it to us.
The Han people at least respect the Han people. If he kills our Han people, destroys our fields, and forces us to survive like the tyrant Shi Hu did in the past, then no one will pay taxes and food for him. We choose to serve Dayan because of Dayan.
It can restrain the sergeants, not embarrass the Han people, and give us official positions and titles so that we can manage government affairs. If it can continue like this for a long time, then Murong will be like Jiang Ziya, the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty who first came to Qi a thousand years ago, and can once again write an eternal legend.
."
Feng He, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said excitedly: "You can't tell it at ordinary times, but this time, your Majesty actually wants to expel all the Han people in our city. This is too much. This is a public statement that he does not trust us Han people, and now the outside world
The war is in turmoil. If our families and the people in the city are to leave the city, don't we want them to die? The army reported that the front was defeated and the Jin army was attacking here. Even His Majesty and the Imperial Guard were nowhere to be found. If
If the people leaving the city are overtaken by the defeated Yan army or the Jin army, isn't that just sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
Han Fan curled his lips, looked at his younger brother Han Chuo who was standing aside and said nothing, and said: "Assistant Machine (Han Chuo's word, his current minister's right servant), what do you think?"
Han Chuo shook his head and said: "No, I don't see it that way. If our army is defeated, it may be unlucky, but if it is the Jin army, it will be their blessing."
Feng He's face changed: "How is this possible? We were all officials of the Jin Dynasty. Later, when the late emperor came, we betrayed the Eastern Jin Dynasty. During the Battle of Linqu, a large number of Han people joined the army to fight. Liu Yu always hated Hu the most.
People who work hard for their lives, like us, if our family members fall into the hands of the Jin army, will they still have a way to survive?"
Han Chuo said calmly: "If it was just to retaliate against the Yan State for plundering Jiangbei of Jin State, taking away thousands of people, and killing two county guards, then it would indeed be as Feng Shangshu said, but this time Liu Yu
The attack on Yan was not for pure revenge, but to destroy Dayan and regain the land of Qilu. This required winning over people's hearts. I heard that as soon as he passed the Daxian Mountain, Pilu Daoxiu brought a lot of people with him.
The people of the Pilu clan went to him and were immediately given titles and rewards. It can be seen that this time Liu Yu did not kill and plunder, but wanted to conquer and rule. This required the cooperation of the Han people like us. How could he do it for the sake of conspiracy?
How can you harm the Han people for a moment of pleasure?"
Gao Gai said thoughtfully: "I also agree with Xiao Han Pushe (because he is Han Fan's younger brother, so everyone respectfully calls Han Chuo Xiao Han Pushe). Although Liu Yu is powerful in war, he has always loved the people.
In order to protect the people in the city, in order to protect the people in the city, he did not hesitate to bring more than two thousand lone troops to hold on there. If he really does this this time, he will also pardon the rebellious followers.
If you want to regain the land of Qilu, you must win over people's hearts and will not do things like slaughtering cities and killing people."
Having said this, he frowned slightly, walked to the door, and said in a deep voice to more than a dozen Han military academies who were standing at the door: "You go to the Shangshu Province to be on duty first. We have important matters to discuss here, first.
Avoid it."
He turned to the scribes in the hall who were busy writing on the copywriting on one side and said: "Every scribe, please go and have a rest first and come back later."
Soon, these low-level scribes, guards and officials below the third rank who were knowledgeable all left the Shangshu Province. Only five or six leaders of the Qilu clan, who were also senior officials above the Shangshu, remained here. Han Chuo looked at Gao Gai,
Sighing: "Gao Shangshu has something to say, isn't it enough for outsiders to say?"
Gao Gai gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Everyone, do you think it's time for us to make a choice again?"
Feng He's expression changed: "Old Gao, what are you talking about? If this reaches the ears of the Imperial Master or the fifth floor, even a hundred of your heads will not be enough to chop him off!"
Gao Gai said coldly: "If you were buried with the Murong family, a thousand of your heads would not be enough for Liu Yu to chop off. Now what we have to discuss is how to survive. When did you become the loyal minister of Yan?!
"
Feng He said angrily: "Our Feng clan has always been favored by Great Yan. Our ancestors have been working for the Murong regime since the Murong clan was still in Liaodong. My father still came thousands of miles away when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed."
I voted and followed the foundation established by the late emperor. This loyalty can be learned from day to day!"
Gao Gai curled up his lips disdainfully: "You are so loyal and can be learned from the sun. May I ask the minister of Feng? My cousin, the minister's left servant shot Feng Song. He is also a direct descendant of your Feng family. After your majesty ascended the throne, he went to Duan.
The Empress Dowager conspired to support Murong Fa, but in the end it was exposed and she died after her car broke apart. So, is this loyalty or disloyalty?"
