The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 245 Hu and Han live together with many problems
"Your Highness, Du Ruhui has something to ask to see." Jiang Fengyi's voice sounded outside the door.

"Waiting in the Chaoyang Palace." Yang Tong replied, his mental state suddenly recovered to its peak, and he seemed to have forgotten the annoying question of 'Emperor Sui Yang'.

"It's getting cold, take care of yourself." Looking at the beautiful face of Changsun Wugou, Yang Tong smiled softly in his heart, and took her into his arms and hugged her gently.

"En!" Looking at the back of Yang Tong leaving resolutely, Changsun Wugou's eyes were a little blurred. At this time, Yang Tong seemed to be a little less gentle and tender, but more decisive and strong than ever before. Yang Tong made her feel a little strange, but it seemed more reassuring than before, and it also made her feel distressed.

The eldest grandson Wugou knew that although his husband was the mighty king of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, he would hesitate, fear, and fear just like ordinary people.But now is a chaotic world of cannibalism, and he Yang Tong is the King of Sui and Qin, the "Emperor". His identity and ability, his relatives and subordinates, and everything he owns are all heavy on him. Tong is slacking off, and one day, everything she has now, including her eldest grandson Wugou, will be taken away by others.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

There are too many things in Yang Tong that others fear, such as outstanding combat ability, amazing level of governing the country, rebellious character, heir to the orthodox dynasty, leader of the poor family, mourner of the aristocratic family, and the power of the world's number one vassal. , the leader of the national righteousness... This series of talents and identities seem to be glamorous, but now they have become Yang Tong's greatest burden and pressure. Such a glorious figure, no prince will allow him to exist.

It has to be said that Changsun Wugou is a smart woman, and she really expected Yang Tong's state of mind at this time.

Yang Tong couldn't stop, didn't dare to stop, and didn't even have the qualifications to slack off.Once his footsteps stop, it is time to perish.Rather than being afraid of the posthumous title of 'Emperor Sui Yang', it is better to say that people are ruined and their families are ruined. This price is too heavy for Yang Tong to afford!
Yang Tong did not hope that one day, his grandmother, mother, aunt, and wife would be wantonly insulted by others. Even if he just thought about this kind of thing, he would feel aggrieved in his heart, not to mention that he was never willing to be ordinary. people.Whether it's for your loved ones or yourself.The fighting spirit in his chest must never be extinguished.

At this moment, the hearts of two people are so close.It's just that Yang Tong didn't enjoy the understanding tenderness from his eldest grandson Wugou, he walked straight to Chaoyang Zhan against the wind and snow!At this moment, his heart was hot, with an unprecedented firmness, and a feeling that he would not hesitate to be an enemy of the world.

In the side hall of Chaoyang Hall, Du Ruhui has been waiting for a long time.

Du Ruhui's record office is very competent in joining the army. There are many things that Yang Tong doesn't need to worry about. Du Ruhui will list the core of the problem and attach his own opinions. Many methods are more refined and effective than Yang Tong thought. This record office Joining the army is very handy.

"See Your Highness." Du Ruhui stood up and saluted.

"Keming came to see me so early, he must have something important to discuss with me, let's talk about it, but because of the cold weather, where did the house collapse happen again?" Yang Tong sat down at his desk and looked towards him. Du Ruhui said.

Yecheng is a newly built city, and the houses are very strong!Eighty to ninety percent of the houses in the old sites of Youzhou and Jizhou were built from the ruins. There are no dilapidated houses, and Bingzhou is also okay, but the situation in Yongzhou is really not optimistic. A lot of dilapidated houses have been received these days The emergency report of the collapse.

"That's not the case." Du Ruhui shook his head, handed a booklet in his hand to Yang Tong and said, "This is the information compiled recently in Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and even Jizhou! His Highness had previously stipulated that the people of all ethnic groups under the rule of the Sui Dynasty It is necessary to learn Chinese, wear Han clothes, and practice Han etiquette. As a result, there are some conflicts among the people. In order to obtain official status, Turkic slaves got rid of their slave status as soon as possible. Language, characters, etiquette! However, many Qiang people in Huining and Pingliang are very dissatisfied with this, and often conflict with local officials, which also makes the security of the two counties very unstable, and they are different from Turkic, Khitan, and Xi slaves. The Sui Dynasty was an official common people, so neither the officials nor the army could treat them violently."

"Keming said it's unstable, but it's a bit too much."

Yang Tong shook his head and said, "Whether it's Qiang people or Han people, we resettle them based on the principle of ten households and one village! With these loose and sparse groups of people, we are not qualified to shake the rule of the Sui Dynasty! And we The system is also very clear. If you want to enjoy the same treatment as Han people, you must first become Han people. Learning to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, perform Chinese rituals, and wear Chinese clothes are the most basic requirements! If you can’t do this, why? Enjoy the same treatment?"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly." Du Ruhui frowned and said, "Your Highness intends to group hundreds of clans in the world into one clan to avoid ethnic disputes in the country. , Influenced by benevolence."

"However... since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Wang Dao and Rende have not successfully assimilated a nation." Yang Tong interrupted Du Ruhui, and continued: "Take the Xi people as an example. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was called Donghu At that time, everyone was naturalizing; in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called Wuhuan, and it was still naturalizing; in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was divided into Xianbei, Rouran, Kumoxi, Khitan, Shiwei, Xi and other tribes. At that time, my Central Plains Dynasty was still using kingship and benevolence to naturalize, but the end was the establishment of the Rouran Khanate, which was invincible across the world; in the Sui Dynasty, the former Turkic Khanate replaced Rouran and split into Eastern and Western Turks. Still treat the Turkic Khanate in the east with kingly and benevolent ways, and the result? At the beginning and end, soldiers besieged Yanmen, and then fought me in Mayi. Keming, what does this mean? It means that kingly ways and benevolent methods can’t influence foreign races, the way of the sages It doesn’t work at all. You also have your own ideas, do you think what the sages said is the eternal philosophy?”

"This..." Du Ruhui was startled when he heard the words, and he didn't know how to answer.

The sages will definitely be right?
This question, in fact, has a borderline argument!Du Ruhui also took a skeptical attitude, especially when Yang Tong rebuked Confucianism with "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace" that day, his thoughts had gradually become clear.

"Keming should understand the truth of the changing world and vicissitudes of life, right?"

"Naturally!" Du Ruhui nodded.

"To give a simple example, if I beat you up today, if you die tomorrow, it's because I've hit you too hard, and you should serve your sentence according to the law! But if you die 30 years later, do you also blame me?"

"Certainly not."

"In the same way, the doctrines of the sages are the knowledge created by the actual situation of the world at that time. It is understandable and correct to use their theories at that time. But it may not be correct today hundreds of years later. Times are passing, and knowledge should also keep pace with the times. Applying it mechanically is not good for the country and the people. Just like Li Mu's chariot formation, Wei Qing's Wugang chariot formation, and Liu Yu's missing moon formation are all famous for using a foot to defeat a horse. Tactics, but if they are used now, they will definitely be beaten to nothing. As the times progress, tactics must also improve. No matter how brilliant and brilliant things were once eliminated, they will lose their magical effect. Since everyone can accept the "impermanence of soldiers", "Water is impermanent and formless", why do you have to copy the experience of the sages when doing learning and doing practical things?"

Yang Tong laughed and said, "'Wang Dao and Benevolence' cannot be naturalized for thousands of years, which means that it cannot be accepted by the barbarians. I am not saying it is bad, but I think it is used in the wrong place. Because of the differences in concepts and customs between Han and Hu. Great! You want people to accept your point of view. Sometimes you need to beat him with your fists first, and then everyone sits down to explain the truth. If you hurt him, he will listen to you. Just like Qin Shihuang unified writing, weights and measures, Up to now, how many people still remember the characters and weights and measures of the Six Kingdoms?"

"Your Highness wants to imitate the First Emperor?" Du Ruhui said in surprise.

"Comparing the Qianghu with the Six Kingdoms is too flattering." Yang Tong shook his head: "I just said that in a short period of time, the way of kingship and benevolence can really make them grateful! But as long as the Central Plains dynasty declines, our suzerain country It is the target they slaughtered! They admire me for the prosperity of the Central Plains. But the other side of admiration is jealousy. If you are jealous, you will have the intention to take it away. They don’t move because they have no strength. Once they have strength , will inevitably show their sharp teeth. The most typical example is the Turkic Qimin father and son. Qimin was grateful to us in the Sui Dynasty, but he immediately turned his face at the end of the beginning! Therefore, as long as the foreign race retains its own writing, clothing, and customs, One day they will become troubles for our family, and by that time, our descendants may not be able to suppress them."

"Then I don't know what kind of strategy your Highness has?"

"As long as you see the key to the problem, you will have a strategy to solve the problem." Yang Tong said with a smile: "If you are not of my race, why must their hearts be different?"

"The minister is all ears."

"different."

Du Ruhui was astonished.

"They dress differently, speak differently, and stand out in the crowd, so everyone instinctively rejects them. But if Turkic people and Tuyuhun people all wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, do you think they are still awkward?" Yang Tong pointed to the door Several of the guards standing solemnly outside were from the Qi tribe, but looking at it now, they were not much different from ordinary Han soldiers.

"I can't tell." Du Ruhui shook his head.

"The mixed population of Hu and Han did cause a little confusion, but in the long run, it is the most effective way. What are we going to do? Be impartial in the law, let them see the fair side, so as to reduce their exclusion of Han people As long as this step is done well, and then lured with various rights, they will naturally rely on it!"

"I've been taught!" Du Ruhui saluted Yang Tong thoughtfully, and then retreated.

Today's remarks are not because Yang Tong is smarter than Du Ruhui, but because he stood at the height of the times and opened a brand new door for Du Ruhui, a door that allowed him to jump out of the inherent thinking, and use a brand new way of thinking. Thinking about and solving problems from a different perspective made many of his previous doubts suddenly clear.

Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others have also struggled and confused on this issue!And Kong Yingda even blush with Yang Yu on some issues of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but now they can't, one and two have abandoned the shackles, and look at the problem with a rational perspective, instead of looking for ancient books as before. to answer.

Being able to see problems with their own eyes and solve problems with their own thinking is definitely a huge progress in this era of respecting teachers as fathers. In terms of thinking, they have been liberated and moved towards independence.
