With Wei Xiaokuan, Li Mu and others staying in Chang'an, most of the Guanzhong families have stabilized their minds. Therefore, in this battle of talents, or the division of Yang Jian's political legacy, Li Xingchen actually has the advantage. However,
Yu Wenxian did not gain anything.
After that, the two sides revolved around the Northern Family and fought against each other several times.
It's a pity that Pei Ju, who presided over the Wenxi Pei family, united with the Qinghe Cui family and other families, like a slippery loach. Both sides have the same advantage, and no one can offend them. Therefore, this battle over the ownership of northern talents has actually not happened until now.
There is no distinction between high and low.
However, Li Xingchen was not in a hurry. After the main force of the Han army crossed the Huai River and the Great River, there was no need to think about what these northern families would choose. When Li Xingchen entered Guanzhong, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Mu and others
Didn’t you also choose to fall in love with the big man?
After all, for these great families, their foundation is in the north, in this fixed place. Once the place of foundation falls completely into the hands of the enemy, they actually have no choice. When Hua Xia Yiguan crossed south,
There is orthodoxy, and many families are moving together.
But it's different now. After years of war, the aristocratic families in the north have been scattered. It has long been impossible for them to stay together as they did when Yi Guan traveled south. Moreover, when Yi Guan traveled south, he was surrounded by Chinese orthodox people heading south, but now if these families are allowed to
The family went north with the Xianbei people. Doesn't this mean that they have betrayed their ancestors?
Pei Ju and others would never do such a thing to discredit their family.
In today's Han Dynasty, there is no so-called real aristocratic family. With the progress of the imperial examination, the foundation of the aristocratic family has actually been uprooted. The aristocratic family has evolved into a situation where if no one rises up, it will only decline from generation to generation.
The noble family will disappear in a few generations.
Therefore, Li Xingchen will not accept the northern aristocratic families into the Han Dynasty system with great fanfare. If you want to maintain the aristocratic family's detached status in the court, it is impossible. All you can do is to be the same as the southern aristocratic families. In the end,
If the entire family is integrated into Han society, the aristocratic family will no longer be an aristocratic family.
Perhaps it is also because of this concern that although the situation is very obvious that the south is strong and the north is weak, and the south does have a moral advantage, families such as the Wenxi Pei family and the Qinghe Cui family are still weighing and waiting.
The talents that Li Xingchen wanted to attract were mainly talents from poor families in the hinterland of the Central Plains, rather than these wealthy and famous families. The wealthy and famous families would eventually make their own choices based on the general trend of the world, and if those talents from poor families were not checked for a while, they might be from their own
It slipped away from the palm of his hand. After all, the Central Plains is the heart of China and a place of outstanding people. Of course, Li Xingchen did not want so many amazing talents to be exploited by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Dahan still needs to increase its preferential treatment for talents, so as to attract as many talents as possible to Dahan.
"At the same time, Baipao must do a good job in identifying talents. What I need are people who are determined to work hard to revive Chinese culture, and they are definitely not Yu Wenxian's spies." Li Xingchen looked at Chen Yu again.
"I obey the decree." Chen Yu, who never spoke much in court meetings, stood up hurriedly.
Chen Yu has also appeared in the court for some time. This middle-aged man who has always been gentle and elegant stood up, and all the ministers present trembled subconsciously.
The gentleness and elegance are all superficial. Who doesn't know that this is an out-and-out living Yama?
Fortunately, all his shocking methods were used in the hands of his enemies.
And Li Xingchen said directly: "In addition, the war will start at the beginning of the year. Why and why are we fighting? The Taiwei Mansion and Baipao must also come up with a charter as soon as possible."
"Returning to the Central Plains is a matter of natural justice and justice, and it is the long-cherished wish of the Chinese people to settle in Jiangdong for three hundred years." Yang Su said hurriedly. As for the reason for starting the war, this reason is already very perfect from a moral perspective.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. Of course he knew that his Northern Expedition would not lack righteousness. Such slogans of righteousness have been tried and tested by all dynasties for three hundred years, but the situation faced by the Han Dynasty now is different from that faced by any dynasty in the Southern Dynasties in history.
Xianbei should be regarded as a typical example of northern ethnic minorities integrating into the Han people. Li Xingchen still remembers a joke from later generations:
The Han people asked the Xianbei people, who are you? The Xianbei people said to the Han people, I want to conquer you. The Han people were noncommittal, you can give it a try. A hundred years later, the Han people asked the Xianbei people, who are you? The Xianbei people said to the Han people, I
They are Han Chinese.
Compared with the Wuhu who entered the Central Plains in the early years, the Xianbei is definitely the best ethnic group to integrate into the Chinese cultural system. This also makes the northern aristocratic families in the Central Plains and the north have a refreshing feeling, so they join the
The people of Xianbei are like crucian carp crossing the river, otherwise the Northern Wei Dynasty would not have been able to win over people's hearts so quickly and become the first dynasty to truly unify the north.
It is precisely because the Han people in the north have a certain sense of identity with the Sinicized Xianbei people that they recognize that the Xianbei people have inherited Chinese orthodoxy.
Therefore, the so-called Northern Expedition may not necessarily work for these northern Han people. Especially in places like Hebei, which have been under the rule of Hu Chen for hundreds of years, this generation was completely born under the rule of the Northern Wei and Northern Qi.
Their identification with the northern dynasty made them naturally dismissive of the great cause of the Northern Expedition, otherwise they would not have accused the southerners of being "island barbarians" in the first place.
We are the orthodox Chinese people, you guys who prefer Jiangdong are just like the barbarians on the island.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had undergone Xianbeiization, forming a countercurrent, which only made the northern gentry and Han people wake up.
The Xianbei people who control the state realize that the Han people may not necessarily be reliable, and the Han people also realize that these Xianbei people may not really consider themselves a part of China in terms of blood and legal principles. Listen to those who are completely
It’s a name that’s hard to pronounce. Is that a name that a Han Chinese should have?
This countercurrent of Xianbeiization came to an abrupt end in history due to the rise of Yang Jian, and became an out-and-out farce. In the end, the Xianbei people were completely integrated into the Han people and disappeared in the long river of history.
But in this era, Yu Wenxian ran to Yecheng. Although the Xianbei transformation had been interrupted, the name changes, racial classification, etc. that had been carried out before were not completely outlawed. After all, Yu Wenxian was still on the side of the Qing Emperor to mourn the late emperor.
The banner of Xianbeiization was a policy issued during the period of the late emperor Yu Wenyong. Of course, Yu Wenxian could not deny it directly. Wouldn't it be equivalent to clearly saying that his brother was wrong?
Precisely because of the existence of the Xianbei policy, at least now, the Han Dynasty still has some advantages in the battle of public opinion with the north and the fight for the moral high ground.
