The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 45

Inside the Chengqian Hall of the Dragon City Palace
"King Yan, Miss Duan is back." Ping Bo entered the room and reported.

In the palace of King Yan, there is a dense atmosphere, and the imperial physician fumigates the medicine in it to keep King Yan healthy.

"Oh, is that so, quickly help the widow to change clothes." Hearing this, King Yan hurriedly called his left and right servants to help him up and get up to change clothes.

Duan Xian was waiting in the side hall, and the servant Nie Hao next to him said: "Miss Duan, please wait a moment, my king will arrive later."

But seeing that Nie Hao had no intention of retreating, Miss Duan was very surprised. She saw Nie Hao's eyes were cunning, turning around, looking him up and down, which made Duan Xian unhappy, and said: "If there is nothing important, you can go first Back off, I'll take care of myself."

"Miss Duan, I think you just came to the Palace of King Yan. I have served King Yan for a long time, and King Yan has criticized you a lot. I wonder if Miss is willing to listen?" After speaking, her face showed a haughty look, and she put her hands in front of her belly. Look arrogant.Duan Xian is Mingmin, he is asking for a bribe.

Duan Xian took a closer look at that person, but it was familiar, he thought for a moment, he was indeed the deputy envoy who passed the decree to assassinate Murong Han that day, he couldn't help but get angry, he glared angrily and said: "It turned out that he killed a loyal person."

Nie Hao was startled, in an instant he recognized the person who was outside Murong Han's residence that day. "Girl, don't spout blood," but she was a little flustered, "I will obey the order, the injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner, so what do you have to do with me?"

"Today, my country of Yan lost a pillar, and the king of Yan's holy light shines on the candle, but why wait for the night, the sound of flies and frogs is worrying about the sacred heart."

"You, girl." Nie Hao was embarrassed, although he was angry in his heart, but he was just an eunuch, and he was no different from a servant in the words of princes and ministers, so he couldn't imagine that this girl would be pissed off again and again, but he had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

At this moment, Uncle Ping came and called Duan Xian to go in and answer, but Duan Xian just glanced at him contemptuously and went to King Yan's bedroom.Nie Hao looked at Duan Xianli's back, and squinted at her upwards with squinted eyes, but it was threatening.

Ping Bo led Duan into the palace first, and reported to King Yan: "Your Majesty, Miss Duan is here."

Duan Xian bowed to salute, "Daughter Duan Xian, I would like to meet my king in person according to the order, and wish my king a long life."

Yan Wangwu propped himself up from the couch, the room was dark and Yan Wang's eyesight was gradually failing, he stretched out his hand and said: "Come back and answer, Uncle Ping grants you a seat."

Duan got up first, came to King Yan's case, and sat on the table.

King Yan hadn't seen Duan Xian for many years since that day in the old capital of Thorn City.It is often heard that one of the princesses in Duanbu's subjugated country is more beautiful and smarter in life, and the king of Yan didn't care about it at first. He saw too many beauties, and he was afraid that there would be disasters for his younger sister and concubine.

I saw Duan Xian approaching, Yan Wang saw it, his eyes were full of spring waves but not exposed, his brows were like distant mountains but dark, his lips were like sand but not smeared, and his lips were bright and graceful.

"I see that I still love him, and he is very worthy of my son." King Yan murmured to himself, with the intention of making a promise in his heart.

However, the King of Yan restrained his expression and asked quietly: "Now I heard that Murong Ba, the general of Tuhe Town, recruited and accepted the rebellion, and made a lot of private favors. Although Tuhe is the land of Yan, it is almost Murong Ba's family. Miss Duan, can you help me?" What's the matter?"

Duan Xian replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Anyone who says this will be punished."

"Oh, there are so many people who have spoken, do you want to kill everyone in Yan Court?" King Yan asked back.

Duan Xian replied calmly: "If you want to do what you want, if you want what you want, it's like looking for fish by the tree."

Ping Bo was anxious, "Ms. Duan is bold."

"Let's listen to you." King Yan said with a smile.

"What the king of Yan wants is not this corner of Pingzhou. I heard it: Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can grow big; the rivers and seas don't choose small streams, so it can be deep; Can understand its virtue. Although Yan is strong today, how can he compete with Zhao?"

Ping Bo wanted to pull Duan Xian down, but King Yan only signaled Duan Xian to continue talking.

Duan Xian looked firmly in his eyes, "Although our country of Yan is small now, we have repeatedly rebelled against Zhao's army. Why? I used to be the weakest of the three tribes of Xianbei. The Murong tribe is the weakest. The land is not as good as Yuwen, and the population is not as good as the Duan tribe. But now Murong dominates the northern border. Why? Since Yongjia was in turmoil, the people went into exile, and the Central Plains were depressed. The former kings exterminated traitors, and their virtues cherished far away. Therefore, people in Kyushu, like a child who returned to a loving father, expelled more than ten times as many people as the old land. To make the former king disrespect King Jinqin, if we don’t bring overseas Chinese from the Central Plains into the court of Yan, how can our country of Yan be as prosperous as it is today. How can our country of Yan refuse to accept refugees who want to enter the territory of Yan?”

King Yan nodded, and continued to ask: "What you want to say, I agree with you, but Murong Ba is guarding Tuhe, and he did not obey the king's order, so he has done something wrong."

Duan Xian was very angry, and said loudly: "Young Master Ba, what Yan State has repeatedly done is very serious. Now Shizhao is in great chaos, and I want Yan State not to take the Central Plains, but to protect the northern border. However, our country of Yan is not limited to this barbaric square inch? If we knock out the pass and go southward, all the subjects of Zhao country will be the subjects of our country, and we will just stop here today and make people who have the intention of defecting to the country of Yan Disappointed, not far away. Therefore, for the sake of my country, Ba Gongzi must accept refugees without rejecting them, and attract people from all over the world without rejecting them."

Duan Xian left the table, knelt down solemnly and said: "Young Master Ba's sincerity, you can learn from it every day. It's a pity that you can't serve your parents in front of you, and you don't have any intention of surrendering or accepting traitors. If you make Master Ba you leave Tuhe and say goodbye There is nothing else to say, but it is a pity that the young master failed to contribute a small amount of strength for our country of Yan to go south. The tyrant prince entrusts me to hear that King An Yan is in the capital, and I would like to pay my respects again."

"In my court of Yan, the one who is smart and sensitive has no Duan family's daughter." King Yan motioned for Duan Xian to come closer, and took out a jade shell from the box next to Duan Xian to Duan Xian.

Seeing this, Duan Xian waved his hands again and again, saying that Yu Nai is a gentleman's adornment, but he cannot accept such an expensive gift.

King Yan looked at him kindly and said, "It's not for you, but for your words. In ancient times, Confucius asked each other for books, and saints worshiped seven-year-old children as teachers. Today, the girl's words of gold and jade can be accepted."

"Since that's the case, I'll accept it for Murong Ba." After finishing speaking, he thanked Duan Xian and left outside King Yan's bedroom.

Yan Wangyao saw Duan Xian leaving, and said to Ping Bo: "Ping Bo, Ba'er really knows people, not because of her beauty, intelligence and sensitivity, I feel sorry for him."

"Congratulations to the King of Yan. With the help of this daughter, Mr. Ba will surely make great achievements and become the pillar of Yan Kingdom."

King Yan nodded, "Your words are all my own."

While speaking, a servant hurried into the hall, "I would like to report to King Yan that Liu Xiang and other ministers are already waiting in the east hall."

The King of Yan signaled Uncle Ping to help him up, "The world is about to change dramatically, for the sake of our country, we will make a plan in the morning."

Liu Xiang, along with Feng Yi, Yang Yu, Huangfu Zhen and other ministers, heirs, princes, etc. were all waiting in the hall, when the servant's shrill voice called out: "King Yan is here."

Everyone returned to their seats one after another and lined up on both sides.

King Yan came slowly, sat upright on the high hall, sat still, and signaled everyone not to be too polite, and everyone can speak freely about the current Shizhao refugees.

State 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, the size of our country of Yan today and the prosperity of the Yan army are also different from those in the past. I ask you to recruit more refugees to use as military resources. Dismiss the overseas Chinese and set up the counties to make the people safe."

Murong Jun stepped forward and said: "However, I have established a county in the country of Yan for a long time, and the separation of Hu and Han has been practiced for many years. If I leave suddenly, I am afraid that the country will change."

Mu Yugen also said: "The old minister also meant the same thing. The refugees are not gathered together and resettled, and they are wandering around. How can our country of Yan manage it?"

Hearing this, Sili Yangyu argued: "Nowadays in my country of Yan, it is normal for Hu and Han to be mixed together. I have already moved nearly [-] households into Yuwen, Goguryeo, and Fuyu, and under my king Hua, Harmonious coexistence, I have never heard of miscellaneous places and people who have changed."

Feng Yu also stepped forward and said: "Although the people from Gouri, Baekje and Yuwen Duanbu were moved by troops, they did not come here in pursuit of righteousness like in China. They have a heart to return home, but they are scattered among the various tribes. Migrating to the border towns in the west, and entering them, they are all the people of our country Yan, why should we set up counties and counties for the overseas Chinese in the Central Plains."

King Yan saw that there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and it was undecided for a while, but he saw that Liu Xiang had sat upright, his expression was peaceful, he was silent, and there seemed to be a valley in his chest, so he asked: "Liu Xiang, the captain of Dongyi, went to the Jin Dynasty as an envoy. I have seen a lot, but I am lonely, and listen to your words, how will our country of Yan deal with it?"

Liu Xiang jumped up and said impassionedly: "I want to report to the king of Yan, my country of Yan should evacuate the overseas Chinese and put them in counties and counties, thinking that all the refugees are from my country of Yan."

King Yan's eyes lit up, "Oh, what do you want?"

"The Jin family has suffered from the worries of the refugees for a long time. The Central Plains were lost, and only the imperial edict of the Jin family was used to inherit the destiny. The people of the family will follow the scenery and defend the Jin family? However, it is so troublesome, why not treat it as the people of the country. Take it." Liu Xiang straightened his clothes and straightened his thoughts, but his eyes were a little bright, and he saluted everyone present.

"King Yan, all the princes and ministers, the strength of the people and the financial resources of Jin are not inferior to those of Shi Zhao, and the ancestors of the country, Ti and Xi Jian, are outstanding men of the time, and the hearts of the people all have the ambition to recover the Central Plains. The Jin family stopped at the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, so that the Central Plains could not recover. Why? Although the refugees were rich, the Jin family regarded them as bandits. Cutting off the great river does not allow the people to cross the south. The refugees are not allowed to spy on the situation in order to seek their own survival. Although there are many people, they cannot be used, and their generals are brave, but they cannot be used. They will only make Jiehu bully."

Mu Yugen asked: "Master Liu, how should we, the country of Yan, deal with the chaos caused by the refugees?"

Liu Xiang sorted out his thoughts, "General Zhechong, forgive me for what I say. If you can read it, you don't know that the Jin Dynasty depends on it for preservation. The Jin Dynasty is tyrannical and the family is domineering. However, the center of the refugees is the Jin Dynasty. Xiangshi Wangdun, Zu The chaos of the covenant, the teacher of the diligent king among the refugees, Jiankang was overthrown several times. The dog never leaves the poor family, and the son never abandons the ugly mother. People have the same heart. This is the case when the Jin Dynasty is in power, and the refugees will not abandon them. To my country of Yan The government is peaceful and the rewards and punishments are clear. The refugees all regard my country of Yan as their reborn parents. If there is a change in the country, if it is invaded by an enemy country, it will destroy the family and make it difficult to help Yan. You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay it with the soldiers of the country. If you look at it Refugees are worthless, and the people will regard the king as a straw dog. Today, there is great chaos, and the people are displaced. Please ask for a place for the people of the Central Plains to live in my country of Yan. Don't trap the people as a refugee. I will worship the Tao again. .”

"Liu Xiang's words are all from the bottom of my heart. I hope my father will accept them." Murong Ke said, "Now our Liaodong government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the soldiers are stingy with their lives. In addition, King Yan's lenient policy, the soldiers are very grateful, and they all want to serve in our Yan army. , I feel deeply that the hearts of the people are available, and I hope my father accepts Liu Xiang's words."

King Yan looked at Liu Xiang and Murong Ke, nodded approvingly and said: "Since Murong's ancestors have been in love with Muhua for decades, and since the Yongjia Rebellion, they have recruited refugees and attracted families into Yan Court. Only by using talents can we make our country of Yan the prosperity it is today. The original intention of the ancient kings was that there was a big difference between Hua and Barbarians. Only when they tried their best to avoid conflicts did they set up prefectures and counties to house refugees. However, if we practice today, there will be many disadvantages. Three generations have different rites and kings, five tyrants Hegemony with different laws. Those who are wise change with the times, and those who know how to control according to the situation. The ancients are also good at teaching. I am lonely, and I know how to change the laws of overseas Chinese, so as to make the people safe."

All the ministers said: "The Great King Mingjian".

The King of Yan ordered Feng Yu to draft the imperial edict, and the King of Yan read it, which was very in line with the intention of the King of Yan.

The king of Yan ordered Ping Bo to declare: "It is reported that Chengzhou, Jiyang, Yingqiu and other overseas Chinese will set up counties. The people of Bohai are Xingji County, the people of Hejian are Ningji County, the people of Guangping and Wei County are Xingping County, Donglai , People from Beihai belong to Yuli County, and people from Wu belong to County Wu, all belong to the State of Yan, and the refugees don’t know their native place, so they come and go as they please.”

After the edict was completed, everyone bowed down to thank King Yan.

State Prime Minister Feng Yi got up and said: "Yan Wang's heart is beyond the reach of Tang Yu and Shang Tang. Although Yan State is dismissed and resettled overseas, it is to reassure 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, the minister stole it for the benefit of the country of Yan, so you should invite the wise and wise children of the family to study with me, thinking that it will be used by the country of Yan."

Han Huan was involved in the Han Shou Rebellion before, although it was found out that Han Huan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly got up and said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, I secretly think it is impossible."

"Oh, Han Jingshan, what's the point?" King Yan looked at him slowly.

In fact, the King of Yan has always been jealous of Han Huan. Although he has lived in Liaodong for a long time, when King Yan was in Ping Cui Wei, Gao Zhan, Shi Cong, etc. were stopped by the former king Yan to enter the capital.Although he is well-known, he is too pedantic. The former king is still alive, and the power of the Yan Kingdom is becoming more and more prominent. He wants to be crowned king, but all the officials said: "The diligent and sincere royal family has a low position and heavy responsibilities. Great General, the title of King Yan." Murong Xin wanted to accept it, but Du Han Heng retorted: "From the crowd of Hu Cheng, human infants are poisoned, and the Xia is depressed, and there is no restoration."

The late king was furious, and wanted to kill him quickly, and all the officials pleaded for his mercy. The late king thought that he was the leader of the Liaodong family, so he killed him suddenly, fearing that the crowd would be outraged, so he was demoted to the county magistrate of Xinchang.

Later, when King Yan ascended the throne, there was a riot in Liaodong, and he wanted to win the hearts of the world, so he just issued an edict to enter the palace and restore the official title.

I saw Han Huan solemnly said: "My country of Yan should practice the old system of Jin Dynasty, follow the system of nine ranks, and select virtuous children according to their family background, that is the right way to appoint people."

"The words of joining the army are absurd. Our country of Yan is rising like the sun, and if we can repeat the mistakes of the Jin Dynasty, he should be punished." Liu Bin, the chief historian, said angrily.
