Xie An said calmly: "Of course it won't be a false surrender. The ministers knew this clearly before contacting and negotiating with him. It is true that he is a member of the Qin Dynasty's clan with the surname Fu, but his father Fu Luo once rebelled.

After that, he was suppressed, deposed as a commoner, and moved to Longyou to take care of him. However, he himself had the reputation of a famous scholar, loved sinology, and had long admired the Han culture of our dynasty. This time Qin State was defeated in Feishui, he also saw that the north was about to

There was great chaos, but Fu Jian never really trusted him, so he simply led his troops to surrender."

Sima Yao nodded: "I have also heard of this Fu Lang. I heard that when he was in the north, he often talked about mysteries and was quite famous. Did he come to surrender this time with any conditions?"

Xie An shook his head: "He only begged your majesty to spare his life and didn't mention anything else."

Sima Yaoqi asked: "Is it that simple?"

Xie An smiled slightly: "He came to surrender on his own initiative as the governor of a state. Although he said this, it is naturally impossible to really let him become a commoner. Otherwise, I am afraid that no one will be willing to surrender in the future. According to the truth,

According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, these important officials of the enemy country who have come to surrender on their own initiative can be appointed according to their talents, or they can be left idle to a casual official whose rank is equivalent to the original official position."

Sima Yao nodded: "Then I think, let's give him a casual official who can serve as a regular servant. This person did not come from all over the country to surrender, nor did he bring an army. If you give him a real official, I'm afraid that there will be many heroes in the court."

I’m not convinced.”

Wang Guobao said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise, I will act accordingly immediately."

Sima Yao nodded with satisfaction and looked at the phalanx in the audience. Liu Yu was still holding the flag high and standing in front of the team. He looked at Liu Yu and said: "I almost forgot what I was saying for so long.

, did this Liu Yu make great contributions in this battle? Or was it just because Shizhong Xie considered his relationship with your family that he let him replace Liu Yi, who killed Fu Rong with one arrow, as the vanguard of the military parade? "

Xie An shook his head: "Wei Chen did not dare to pursue personal interests. Although Liu Yu was Wei Chen's grandson-in-law, he was in the army and Wei Chen did not take any care of him. On the contrary, he was demoted and removed from office several times. In Luo

At the time of Jian, he had just been demoted to the rank of a mere soldier due to his unfavorable battle, but he made great contributions in this battle and was promoted to military commander."

Sima Yao asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing? In one battle, you can become a military leader who leads an army from a small soldier?"

Xie An nodded: "In the battle of Luojian, Liu Yu commanded the troops crossing the river at a critical moment. He led his troops to ascend first and defeated the enemy. Only then could there be a great victory. In the military formation, promotions were different from usual ones, so as to stimulate morale.

.”

Sima Daozi nodded: "What Shizhong Xie said is true. Liu Yu really took the lead in the army. He was the first to ascend in every battle. He was truly a first-class man. And these warriors behind him were the first to charge into battle with him, so

We are such outstanding soldiers in the army. Today, Xie Shizhong asked them to take the lead and be the first batch to enter the city. This is also meaningful."

Sima Yao smiled and said: "Is Liu Yi among these people?"

Xie An shook his head, pointed to the fourth team of cavalry, Liu Yi and others in the front, and said: "Liu Yi has been promoted to military commander because of his contribution in this battle. Today, all military commanders are riding horses to be reviewed. Liu Yi

Among them."

Sima Yao nodded and was about to speak. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a walking procession entering the square. They were all Taoist disciples wearing Taoist robes and carrying swords on their backs. The three leaders were striding.

While walking, a giant man nine feet long and carrying a vajra pestle stood out particularly conspicuously. Sima Yao asked curiously: "Why are there still Taoists in the army? Emperor brother, these people went to Bagong Mountain with you to practice the Dharma."

person?"

Sima Daozi smiled proudly, and a complex expression flashed through his black and white eyes, and said: "These people are disciples of Tianshi Dao. In this battle of Feishui, not only did they open an altar to pray for the whole army, but they also

You went into battle to kill the enemy and achieved great success."

Sima Yao opened his eyes wide and said, "What, these Taoist disciples can still fight and kill the enemy?"

Sima Daozi nodded affirmatively: "Yes, they are disciples of Tianshi Dao. They have the swordsmanship and formations passed down from ancient times by the sect. They also have the help of magical medicine. When taken on the battlefield, they can forget their own lives.

Keep moving forward."

Wang Guobao also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this time in the Battle of Luojian, Liu Yu and others rushed across the river first, but the Qin army had more soldiers after all. Finally, these disciples of Tianshi Dao did not avoid arrows and stones.

, broke into the enemy's formation, completely disrupted the enemy's formation, and achieved a great victory."

Sima Yao smiled and said: "These Taoist disciples have really made great achievements this time. I think we must give them generous rewards. I am interested..."

Before Sima Yao finished speaking, Xie An suddenly said: "Your Majesty, all the Heavenly Master and Taoist disciples have contributed to killing the enemy, but they are outsiders after all. The rewards in the world are of little significance to them, and it is unlikely.

Just like giving official positions to meritorious soldiers, the ministers think that it is enough to praise them and add some honorary titles, but they must not be allowed to have real Taoist temples with tax exemptions, let alone go around doing alms."

Sima Yao's expression changed, and he said in surprise: "Why are there no rewards for meritorious service? Even if you don't give them official positions, you should always give them some rewards and let them open more Taoist temples."

Xie An shook his head: "Your Majesty, have you ever forgotten the affairs of Lu Wei, the three yellow turban brothers Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Lu?"

Sima Yao was stunned for a moment, and Sima Daozi on the side said in a deep voice: "Xie Shizhong, this is a bit exaggerated, right? Because Taoist disciples have rebelled against traitors before, does this prove that these Tianshi Dao disciples have different intentions? But just now

He made meritorious service in the army and shed blood to kill thieves."

Xie An said calmly: "What I consider is not whether they have the intention to rebel, but their strength. In the land of Sanwu, Tianshi Tao has long been popular, and there are many followers of Tianshi Tao in high-ranking families.

Even Wei Chen's family has people who believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master. While these people gain the trust of the upper class and speak out for them, they also go among the people to go from village to village and give alms everywhere. There are many people in Wu, but they know that there is a leader, but they don't know that there is one.

Your Majesty. I'm afraid that if this situation continues, or if we heavily reward them, it will only make their strength increase faster."

Sima Daozi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Wang Guobao on the side said: "What Xie Shizhong said is absolutely true, and the disciples of the Taoist sect are from outside the country. They accept five buckets of rice from believers to join the Taoism, and in times of disaster, they help each other, so that

These foolish people think that it is not the Holy One who is showing favor to them, but the Heavenly Master. If things continue like this, not only will your Majesty have no land to tax and tax, but you will also have no people to farm and no soldiers to fight. May your Majesty sanctify you!
