The forty-fifth chapter: Dismissal of overseas Chinese and resettlement of refugees
Inside Chengqian Hall of Dragon City Palace
"King Yan, Miss Duan is back." Uncle Ping came into the room and announced.
In the palace of the Yan royal family, the air was filled with dense air. The imperial doctor fumigated the medicine in it to keep King Yan healthy. At this time, King Yan was sleeping deeply on the medicine urn, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
"Oh, is that right? Quickly help me change my clothes." After hearing this, King Yan hurriedly called the servants on the left and right to help him up and stood up to change his clothes.
Duan Xian was waiting in the side hall, and the young chamberlain Niehao next to him said: "Miss Duan, please wait a moment, my king will be here shortly."
But when she saw that Nie Hao had no intention of retreating, Miss Duan was very surprised. She saw Nie Hao's eyes turning cunningly, whispering, looking him up and down, which made Duan Xian unhappy and said: "If you have nothing important to do, you can go ahead."
Stand down and I'll take care of myself."
"Miss Duan, I think you just came to the Palace of King Yan. I have been serving King Yan for a long time. King Yan also has many comments about you. I wonder if the girl is willing to listen?" After saying this, a look of arrogance appeared on her face, and she put her hands in front of her belly.
He looked arrogant, but Duan Xian was clearly aware that he had come to ask for a bribe.
Duan Xian took a closer look at that person, but he looked familiar. He suddenly thought that it was indeed the deputy envoy who sent the order to assassinate Murong Han that day. He couldn't help but get angry and glared angrily: "It turned out to be a man who was trying to kill a loyal person."
Nie Hao was shocked, and in a blink of an eye he recognized the person who was outside Murong Han's house that day. "Girl, please don't slander anyone", but he was a little flustered, "I am here to obey the order, the injustice has its owner, the debt has its owner, and the debtor has his owner.
What do I do?"
"Today our country of Yan has sadly lost a pillar. The King of Yan's holy light shines brightly, but you are waiting for the night to be dark. The flies and frogs are noisy and worry about your holy heart."
"You, girl." Niehao was embarrassed. Although he was angry in his heart, he had no choice but to be an eunuch. In the eyes of princes and ministers, he was no different than a slave. He didn't want to be criticized by this girl again and again. He had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake again and again.
At this moment, Uncle Ping came and called Duan Xian to go in and answer. Duan Xian just ignored him with contempt and went to King Yan's chamber. Niehao
Looking at Duan Xian's leaving figure, he squinted upwards at her, but it was a sinister look.
Uncle Ping led Duan into the palace first and reported to King Yan: "Your Majesty, Miss Duan is here."
Duan Xian bowed and saluted, "My humble daughter, Duan Xian, I would like to honor my imperial edict to meet my king and wish my king a long life."
King Yan Wu propped himself up on the couch. The room was a little dark and King Yan's eyesight was gradually failing. He stretched out his hand and said, "Come closer and say something. Uncle Ping will give you a seat."
Duan Xian got up and came forward, came to the case of King Yan, and sat on the table.
Since that day, King Yan met Duan Xian by chance in the old capital of Jicheng City and had not seen her for many years. He often heard that one of the princesses from Duan's country who perished was both beautiful and intelligent. King Yan didn't care about anything because he saw many beauties.
No, I'm afraid that my sister will be happy and praise her.
Duan Xian came forward, and King Yan saw it. His eyes were full of spring waves but not exposed, his eyebrows were as dark as the distant mountains, and his lips were as red as if they were painted with sand, not dotted, and he looked slim and straight.
"I see that I still love him and he is very worthy of my son." King Yan murmured to himself, with a promise in his heart.
However, the King of Yan restrained his expression and asked without revealing his words: "I heard that General Murong Ba of Tuhe Town wanted to surrender and accept the rebels, and cultivated personal favors. Although Tuhe is the land of Yan, he is almost the family of Murong Ba. Can Miss Duan have the right to do so?"
What's the matter?"
Duan Xian replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Whoever says this should be punished."
"Oh, as you said, do you want to kill everyone in Yan Ting?" King Yan asked in return.
Duan Xian calmly replied: "Do what you want, ask for what you want, just like asking for a fish based on a tree."
Ping Bo was very worried, "Miss Duan is brave."
"Let me hear what you have to say." King Yan said with a smile.
"What the King of Yan desires is not this corner of Pingzhou. I heard that: Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can become as big as possible; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep; the king does not exclude the common people, so
Can you understand its virtues? Although Yan is strong today, can it compete with Zhao?"
Ping Bo wanted to persuade Duan to come down first, but King Yan only signaled Duan to continue speaking.
Duan Xian's eyes were firm, "Now, although our Yan country is small, it has repeatedly rebelled against the Zhao army. Why? Originally, among the three Xianbei tribes, the Murong tribe was the weakest, with less land than Yuwen, and less population than the Duan tribe. However, now Murong dominates the northern border, but
Why? Since Yongjia, there has been chaos, people have been in exile, and the Central Plains has been depressed. The former king used his authority to kill traitors, and his virtue is to embrace the distant future. Therefore, if the people of the Nine Provinces return to their loving father as an innocent son, the number of people who will be exiled will be more than ten times that of the old land. They show no respect to the previous king.
King Qin of Jin, if you don’t introduce the overseas Chinese from the Central Plains to Yan Ting, how can our country of Yan be as prosperous as it is today? How can our country of Yan refuse to accept the refugees who want to enter the territory of Yan?"
King Yan nodded and continued to ask: "What you said is what you said, and I agreed to it. However, Murong Ba guarded Tuhe and did not follow the king's orders. He did something wrong."
Duan Xian was very angry and said loudly: "What Mr. Ba has done is deeply suffered by the State of Yan. Now Shi Zhao is about to be in great chaos. I, the State of Yan, do not want to take the Central Plains, but only want to protect themselves in the north. I will stop seclusion and defend myself."
However, our country of Yan will not stop at this barbaric area. If we knock the pass and go south, then all the subjects of the Zhao country will become our subjects of Yan. We will only patrol with today's reluctance, and those who have the intention of defecting to the Yan country will be stopped.
We have all disappointed our hopes, and our ambitions are far-fetched. Therefore, Mr. Ba, for our Yan country’s plan, must embrace the refugees without rejecting them, and attract the people of the world without rejecting them.”
Duan Xian left the table, knelt down solemnly and said: "The sincerity of Mr. Ba's heart can be seen from the sun. I only regret that I can't serve my parents in front of you. I have no intention of recruiting surrender and betrayal. If I let Mr. Ba leave Tuhe, I will do it."
, I have nothing to say, but it is a pity that the young master could not contribute his meager strength to our Yan Kingdom's southward march. Young Master Ba would like to entrust me. I heard that King An Yan is in the capital, and I would like to pay my respects again."
"There is no one who is smart and sensitive in our Yan court, and there is no Duan woman." King Yan motioned to Duan Xian to come closer, and took out a jade glass from the box next to Duan Xian.
When Mr. Duan saw this, he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that jade is something a gentleman would admire, but he could not accept the precious gift.
King Yan looked at him kindly and said: "It's not for you, but for your words. In ancient times, Confucius Xiang Luo asked each other for books. The sage worshiped a seven-year-old child as his teacher. Today, the girl's golden and jade words can be accepted."
"In that case, I accepted it for Murong Ba." After saying this, Duan thanked him and left the palace of King Yan.
King Yan saw Duan Xian leaving from a distance and said to Uncle Ping: "Uncle Ping, Ba'er really knows people. It's not just for beauty. He is smart and smart. I feel pity for him."
"Congratulations to the King of Yan. With the help of this daughter, the tyrant master will surely make great achievements again and become the pillar of our Yan Kingdom."
King Yan nodded, "What you say is my opinion."
While he was talking, a chamberlain hurriedly entered the palace and said, "To inform King Yan, Liu Xiang and other ministers are already waiting in the east hall."
King Yan motioned to Uncle Ping to help him up, "Great changes in the world are about to take place. We must make plans early for our plans for the country of Yan."
Liu Xiang, Feng Yi, Yang Yu, Huangfu Zhen and other ministers, princes, princes, etc. were all waiting in the hall. A high-pitched voice from the chamberlain called out: "The King of Yan has arrived."
Everyone returned to their positions one after another and lined up on both sides.
King Yan slowly walked over and sat in the high hall. He sat down and signaled to everyone not to be too polite. Everyone can speak freely about the current affairs of Shi Zhao's refugees.
Prime Minister Feng Yi stood up first and said: "I heard that since this year, there have been more refugees than in the past. However, our country of Yan is vast today, and the prosperity of the Yan army is also different from the past. I would like to invite more refugees to serve as military personnel.
Remove the overseas Chinese and establish various counties to provide peace to the people."
Murong Jun stepped forward and said: "However, we have established counties in Yan State for a long time, and separated Hu and Han for many years. If we leave them suddenly, we are afraid that the country will change."
Mu Yugen also said: "The old minister also means the same thing. The refugees are no longer gathered together for resettlement. They are wandering everywhere. How can our Yan country be governed?"
After hearing this, Sili Yangqu defended himself and said: "Nowadays, in our country of Yan, it is normal for Hu and Han people to mix together. In our capital, nearly 100,000 households have moved into Yuwen, Goguryeo, and Fuyu, and they are all under my kingship.
We coexist harmoniously, and we have never heard of any confusion or change.”
Feng Yu also stepped forward and said: "Although the people from Juli, Baekje and Yuwenduan tribes were moved by military forces, they were not like those from China who came out of loyalty and longing to return. However, they were scattered everywhere among the various tribes.
They migrated to the border towns in the west, and after being transformed into them, they all became the people of our country of Yan, so why did they set up additional counties and counties for the overseas Chinese in the Central Plains?"
King Yan saw that the people in the hall were talking a lot and was undecided for a while, but he saw Liu Xiang sitting upright, with a calm expression, just silent, and there seemed to be a knot in his chest, so he asked: "Liu Xiang, the captain of Dongyi School, is on an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, what are you doing?"
I have a far-reaching view, but I have a lonely mind, and if I listen to your words, how will our country, Yan, deal with it?"
Liu Xiang jumped up and said impassionedly: "I would like to inform the King of Yan that our country of Yan should evacuate overseas Chinese and establish counties and counties, thinking that all the refugees are our Yan people."
King Yan's eyes lit up, "Oh, what do you want?"
"The Jin Dynasty has been worried about the refugees for a long time. The Central Plains were lost, and the Jin Dynasty's edict was used to inherit the destiny. All the people of the world followed the clouds and scenery, and defended the Jin Dynasty. However, there are many problems, so why not regard them as the people of the country?
That's it." Liu Xiang straightened his clothes and thoughts, but his eyes were a little bright, and he saluted everyone present one by one.
"The king of Yan, all the princes and ministers, and the people and financial resources that Jin relies on are no less than those of Shizhao. Moreover, the ancestors of the country, Ti and Xi Jian, are both outstanding men of the time. The people have the ambition to regain the Central Plains, and the soldiers are willing to use their lives. However,
The Jin Dynasty stopped at the Jianghuai River and the Central Plains was no longer vigorous. Why? Although the refugee population was abundant, the Jin Dynasty regarded them as rogue bandits. They established prefectures and counties as overseas residents to isolate the native people. Xuzhou in the south, Yanzhou in the south, Qingzhou in the south, etc. were suspended in the north of the Yangtze River.
The vast river does not allow its people to cross south. The refugees are not allowed to spy on the situation and seek to survive. Although their people are numerous, they cannot be used, and their generals, although they are brave, cannot be used, and they are only used by Jiehu to bully them."
Mu Yugenfa asked: "Master Liu, if the refugees are causing trouble, how should we, the Yan State, deal with it?"
Liu Xiang collected his thoughts and said, "General Zhe Chong, I'm sorry for my words, but if you take a closer look, don't you know that the Jin Dynasty depends on it for its preservation. The Jin Dynasty is harsh in government and the clans are tyrannical, but the center of the refugees is the Jin Dynasty. To the envoy Wang Dun, the ancestors
During the chaos of the Yuan Dynasty, King Qin’s army was no longer among the refugees, and Jiankang was overthrown several times. A dog never leaves a poor family, and a son never abandons his ugly mother. People share this sentiment, and the government of Jin is like this, and the refugees still do not abandon it. Show us the power of Yan State
The government is peaceful, rewards and punishments are clear, and the refugees all regard us as Yan's reborn parents. If there are changes in the country, and we are invaded by enemy countries, our family will be destroyed and it will be difficult to help Yan. You treat me as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman. If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman.
If the refugees are like grass and grass, then the people will regard you as a rotten dog. There is great chaos in the world today and the people are displaced. I ask you to find a place for the people of the Central Plains in our country of Yan. Do not trap the people with your body as a refugee. I will pay my respects again.
.”
"Liu Xiang's words are all from the bottom of his heart. I hope my father will adopt them." Murong Ke added, "Now our Liaodong government is well-connected and our soldiers are dedicated to their duties. In addition, King Yan's policy of leniency and forbearance has greatly impressed the soldiers and they all want to join our Yan army to serve."
, I deeply feel that the people's support can be used, and I hope that my father will accept Liu Xiang's words."
The King of Yan looked at Liu Xiang and Murong Ke, nodded approvingly and said: "Ever since Murong, the previous kings have been admiring Hua for decades, and since the Yongjia Rebellion, they have widely accepted refugees and brought aristocratic families into Yanting. They have chosen talents without knowing their origins.
Only by using talents can our country of Yan be as prosperous as it is today. The original intention of the former kings was that the differences between Hua and Yi were very big, and they tried to avoid conflicts before setting up counties and counties to resettle the refugees. However, following this practice today has many disadvantages. Three generations were kings with different etiquette, and the five hegemons
Hegemony is based on different laws. Those who understand change according to the times, and those who know change according to the circumstances. This is also the good teaching of the ancients. Guyi, all the laws and regulations are changed to calm the people."
All the ministers said: "Your Majesty has a clear vision."
King Yan ordered Feng Yu to draft an imperial edict. King Yan read it and found that it was in line with King Yan's wishes.
The King of Yan ordered Ping Bo to preach: "After all, Chengzhou, Jiyang, Yingqiu and other overseas Chinese established counties. Bohai was named Xingji County, Hejian was named Ningji County, Guangping, Wei County was named Xingping County, and Donglai County was named
, Beihai is called Yuli County, Wu is called Wu County, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Yan State. The refugees do not know their place of origin and can come and go as they please."
After the edict was completed, everyone bowed down and thanked King Yan.
Prime Minister Feng Yi stood up and said: "The King of Yan is so ambitious that even the Yu of Tang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty of Shang Dynasty cannot match it. Although the Yan State has abolished the overseas Chinese and resettled them, it is to calm people's hearts. However, there are many talented people among the refugees. If they are released among the people,
, Just like a beautiful jade abandoned in the wild, I steal it for the benefit of the Yan Kingdom. I should invite the wise and virtuous among the descendants of the family to study in our Xiang, so that I can use it for the Yan Kingdom."
Han Huan had been involved in the Han Shou Rebellion before. Although he had found out that he was not involved, Han Huan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and spoke to the King of Yan: "Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed."
"Oh, Han Jingshan, what are you talking about?" King Yan looked at him slowly.
In fact, the king of Yan has always had a bone in his throat about Han Huan. Although he had lived in Liaodong for a long time, when the king of Yan defeated Cui Yu, he, Gao Zhan, Shi Cong and others were stopped by the late king from entering the capital. Although Han Huan was famous, he was too pedantic. While the late king was still alive, the Yan Kingdom
His power was growing day by day, and he wanted to claim the title of king. All the ministers said: "The diligent royal family has a humble position and heavy responsibilities, which is not enough to control the Chinese and barbarians. It is better to invite a general to take the title of King of Yan." Murong Xin wanted to accept it.
Du Hanheng retorted: "Since the time of the Hu Cheng, human infants have been poisoned, the summers have been depressed, and there is no return to discipline. The Ming Dynasty is loyal to the military and sincere, caring about the country, resisting the festival, and making achievements thousands of miles away, and always has the righteousness of being a diligent king.
, there is no such thing. Those who have done meritorious service suffer from lack of integrity and lack of reputation, so Huan and Wenyou would rather restore a single meritorious service than ask for etiquette and orders to command the princes first. It is better to repair the armor and soldiers, wait for the opportunity, and remove them.
After all the evils have been brought to peace in the world, Jiuxi will arrive on its own. It is not the duty of a minister to ask the king to favor him."
The former king was furious and wanted to kill him quickly, and all the ministers interceded for him. The former king thought that he was the leader of the Liaodong family, so he killed him suddenly, fearing that the people would be angry, so he was demoted to the magistrate of Xinchang County.
Later, when King Yan ascended the throne, there was a riot in Liaodong, and he wanted to win the hearts of the people, so he issued an edict to the palace and restored his official title.
I saw Han Huan solemnly saying: "Our country, Yan, should implement the old system of Jin, implement the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and select virtuous children according to their family background. Only then can we appoint people in the right way."
"The idea of joining the army is a big fallacy. Our country of Yan is rising rapidly, and if it can repeat the mistakes of the Jin Dynasty, he should be punished." Liu Bin, the chief official, said angrily.
