Murong Beide was speechless for a long time, and then he sighed: "I don't know what you said, but there is nothing we can do about it. We Xianbei people are skilled in bow and horse, and are born to fight, but we are not good at governing the country.
We are not very proficient. We have been in the Central Plains for more than 50 years. How many of us can do farming? After all, Han people make up the majority in Qilu land. We don’t need these Han literati to manage them. We have to follow our Xianbei rules.
That will cause big trouble. Your good husband Liu Yu, after establishing Jiankang, won't you still have to cooperate with aristocratic families and rely on these intellectuals who you don't like to govern the country? Will they be corrupt?
Pointing out money and enclosing land is better than having no one to manage it. Let Gongsun Wulou do such evil things. If the people are to be indignant afterwards, what's the problem except him? I have already taught you this.
Awesome."
Murong Lan sneered and said: "I'm afraid that your good nephew can promise everything in front of you, but when the power is in his hands, he can do whatever he wants. There were too many such prodigal sons in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, from Wang Guobao to Sima Yuanxian
When it comes to Huanxuan, who is not like this? What I am most worried about is not Gongsun Wulou, but our good nephew!"
Murong Beide gritted his teeth: "But he is our closest flesh and blood after all. If we don't trust him, who else can we trust? Little sister, I am already old and my days are numbered. The last thing I want to see is the big
The tragedy of Yan's collapse is repeated. The last thing we don't want to happen is for kings to seize the throne, fratricide, foreign enemies to invade, the country to be destroyed and the family to be destroyed. Therefore, Achao's name should be established early and the clans that threaten him should be eliminated.
This is for the sake of our Murong family, and it is definitely not my selfish desire. You said that if I don’t forcibly establish Ah Chao, who will I establish in the future? Murong Zhen, Murong Fa, or Murong Zhong? No matter who is established, it will cause dissatisfaction and civil war among others.
Yeah, it’s only been a few years since you’ve learned this lesson and you’ve forgotten it?”
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "Our Murong clan has surrendered to the Jin Dynasty in our early years. Since we have entered the Central Plains and cannot learn farming, the best way is to continue to submit to the Jin Dynasty. I can plead with my husband and ask him to allow us
Be as self-reliant as Jingzhou, and over time, allow our people to intermarry with the Han people and learn how to farm. This is the way to establish ourselves in a stable and long-term way!"
Murong Beide waved his hand impatiently: "I said, don't mention this matter again. Our Murong clan Xianbei is the proud son of heaven, and we are not slaves of others. No matter how good Liu Yu is, he is not from my clan, so he will not be reincarnated."
It's up to him to decide our fate. I helped him take in Liu Jingxuan and the others, and even allowed you to leave to help him seize power when we were in crisis in Nanyan. I was polite enough to him, what else do you want from me?"
Murong Lan sighed: "Since I have made up my mind, what can I say? I will keep my promise and accompany you on this last journey. As for where Dayan will go from now on, I can no longer control it. Then
It’s Ah Chao’s world, and the future and lives of our people are also determined by him.”
Murong Beide's expression changed: "Little sister, what do you mean? You want to leave Dayan, become Liu Yu's wife, and just ignore us?"
Murong Lan murmured: "I said, I will accompany you to complete this journey. As for Dayan's fate, it will be decided by later generations. I think if A Chao rules the world, he will not want me to do it again."
You must have information about Dayan. Since we are not of the same mind, there is no trust at all when we are together, and we hate each other, which is not good."
Murong Beide was speechless for a long time, and then he shook his head: "Over the years, Dayan has owed you so much. He has deprived you of everything you should have as a woman, as a wife, and as a mother. I really have no reason to force you anymore."
I’ll keep you here. It’s just that Murong Zhong’s rebellion was put down last time, but there are still many remaining parties in various places that need you to eradicate one by one. This is the last thing I ask you. Although Gongsun Wulou volunteered to go
Counter rebellion, but I can’t trust him, and he may go too far in order to establish his authority, and may even implicate innocent people. We Xianbei people have already gone through great disasters, and our numbers are scarce. I don’t want to waste any more unnecessary money. Therefore, I hope this matter
You can do a good job and control the hatred within our clan to the lowest level."
Murong Lan nodded: "I understand what I mean. Some tribesmen who did not directly participate in the rebellion can be given a chance to escape to the border. When the new Emperor Ah Chao ascends the throne, we can pardon them.
Gaining their gratitude is also a way of controlling people, right?"
Murong Beide smiled slightly: "If you were a man, you would be an emperor. Little sister, the cruelest thing God has done to us, the Murong family, is that it did not allow you to become a man."
Murong Lan sighed: "I think that as a daughter, I may be the biggest reason for preserving our Murong clan. Maybe our clan's survival in the future will depend on my identity as a woman."
Murong Beide's face changed slightly, and finally he sighed: "If Ah Chao is really ineffective, just do what you want to do. I need some time to make some arrangements. When you come back, I will stay
I’ll give you what you want. But little sister, please promise me that if Ah Chao can help, please continue to save our country. If he really can’t help, you can go to Liu Yu. This is my little brother.
May I give you one last request?"
Murong Lan looked at the seventy-year-old man in front of her. His face was covered with wrinkles and was shaking slightly, but his cloudy eyes were already filled with tears. Her heart softened and she nodded: "I promise you."
, little brother.”
Murong Beide's eyes flashed with joy, and he suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, Liu Jingxuan and the others came to see me a while ago, hoping to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, and then serve as a vanguard to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty for me. In fact, I know,
They want to find an opportunity to lead the army and fight back to Huan Chu for revenge. However, now that Liu Yu has avenged this revenge for them, I think there is no need for them to stay with me anymore."
Murong Lan was a little surprised: "Brother, can you really do without them and let them go back to China?"
Murong Beide laughed and said: "Although I am still a little reluctant to let go, after all Liu Jingxuan is the world's most powerful tiger general, brave enough to champion the three armies. Even if we are in the whole country of Nanyan, it is difficult for anyone to match him, but after all, he is not of my race, and his heart is not in it."
It's useless to force him to stay here. If you let him go, you can also build a good relationship with Liu Yu and the Beijing Eighth Party. When you finish this time, take them back together."
