Chapter 273 The dust has settled
“…It’s better…the emperor commanded the army in person!”
As soon as Zu finished speaking, the court was silent, and the ministers were shocked and angry. Even Zuo Xiang Murong Yan, who had just been helped by Zu, was shocked.
What is Zu doing? He lured the king of a country to hunt in the north, where did he come from?
Murong Yan immediately shouted in a low voice: "What did you say?" He was angry, even Gao Wei, who had just spoken something, couldn't help but beat him. The left prime minister Murong Yan was old and had a high position and a powerful position. He was shorter than the top and bottom of the court, and the emperor had to show him appropriate respect.
"I suggest that Your Majesty be the emperor personally!" Zu did not wince and continued to suggest. This was considered arrogant and arrogant, not knowing the right degree, not knowing how to live or die!
Another minister came out and scolded: "Doctor Zu, Your Majesty is the most noble of the world, how can you leave the palace easily? Even if you lose a hair, it is also the great sin of our ministers, you."
"Listen to me," Zu once again controlled the rhythm of the conversation before the pool became muddy. "...Your Majesty, the Turks went south and were known as one of millions of string control men. Although they were mixed with a lot of water, the people of our northern borders would inevitably be trapped in dire straits. This is a fact!"
Gao Wei nodded, as if he had understood something, and patiently listened to him.
"The Turks attacked the border, and the towns in Huaishuo were at the brunt of the brutality! Many of them were Xianbei people..." Zu said with a deep pain, "Emperor Shenwu Gao relied on the Xianbei heroes to rise up and spread the towns, and whipped the world. How much blood did the Xianbei hero shed? The Turks went south and would inevitably wipe out the Beizhen blood. At that time, how many innocent people would die under the butcher knife of the Turks? How could His Majesty be the descendants of the Gao family? "
To the north of Yanzhou and to Hengzhou are the important towns in the northern border, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, and Yunzhong!
Needless to say, Gao Huan was born in the military household in Huaishuo Town, the predecessor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the actual backbone of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was basically from Huaishuo. Wuchuan produced Yuwen Tai, and the central team of Guanlong Group also came from Wuchuan.
Gao Huan established a foundation mainly relying on the Huaishuo military group, living in the six towns in northern Xinjiang, and having a strong Xianbei culture.
Take a look at Gao Huan's team and they are roughly divided into chiefs, officials, officials, wealthy people, and ordinary townsmen. There are many chiefs.
For example, Chi Lieping and Hulujin, one from the Chi Lie tribe of the Gaoche tribe, the other from the Gaoche Dulu tribe. The six Han Chang was defeated, the Xiongnu defeated the six Han tribes, and the Xianbei people were more, such as the surname Yu Di and Dugu...
Anyway, there were not many Han people, and they were almost all Xianbei, and they considered themselves Xianbei people. Gao Huan’s Xianbei nickname was He Liuhun. Before his name of "Huanye" sounded, everyone called him that. For example, Hou Jing, under Gao Huan, directly criticized Gao Cheng as a "Xianbei child".
Now, there are still many tribes that maintain close ties with court officials and even with the court itself.
In fact, there are also historical sources. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed the Chinese reform. The spring breeze of reform obviously did not blow to Huaishuo. Huaishuo suddenly turned from an important town in the northern border into a lonely and abandoned child, and eventually gradually evolved into a riot. The most important thing is that after Gao Huanji, the people of the Six Towns who followed him hated the Chinese transformation and firmly opposed it.
At this point, Zu said, "The Turks are about to go south, and the tribe chiefs are in trouble. They all have to run away. Your Majesty, when will you wait for these gangsters to be taken into your pocket now?"
Yes! Gao Wei felt like he was enlightened, and his breathing became heavy.
He had always been thinking about how to conquer these huge six towns and tribes.
A few years ago, after he made a political compromise, he used coercive means to transfer several young and strong people to the army. However, after cutting down a few trees, there was still a forest around him!
Gao Wei was so greedy that he was so tempted that he was so slashing his heart and lungs. How could he have no excuses!
Gao Wei really wants to praise Zu and his father-in-law Jiejie. He just dozed off, so he sent a pillow?
The ancestral words are obscure, but the meaning is quite clear. When the Turks went south, those tribal chiefs would inevitably seek protection from the court. Gao Wei could use this as a threat to draw their young and strong people to join the army, respond to the call of the country, and jointly defend the country! As long as the operation is done properly, a large number of tribes could be transferred south. Some of them could be slowly dismembered, divided and then included in the Chinese system!
Since Gao Wei took power, he has been quietly promoting the sinicization, which has caused some dissatisfaction among the Beizhen tribes. Think about it, when the Turkic soldiers went south and the tribes were in danger, the emperor personally led the army to expel these Turkic people. They were still grateful? Gao Wei once again drew the young and strong army horses on the grounds that there was not enough troops. How could they still have any objections?
Without the young and strong guard tribe, on the grassland, it would be like no self-protection power. Gao Wei said "very caring" that they would temporarily move south and avoid the forefront of the battle... After that, they would have just been the three tricks, and they would definitely be able to get over it. If they entered their pockets, they would still want to go out? Dreaming.
Sure enough, once the angle is changed, the world is different!
Gao Wei felt happy, but his face was extremely painful, and said, "During the old calendar, Yuwen Hu invaded Luoyang and Jinyang, contacted the Turks and attacked our dynasty on both sides. Although he was the Taizai Wuwei, he finally defeated the Turks and made Yang Zhong, the Zhou Kingdom return in vain, but our dynasty was robbed by the Turks, and nearly 100,000 people!" The emperor's tiger eyes swept over the ministers and pointed at the palace beam and said, "100,000 people, how many unjust souls!? This time their new king ascended the throne, he wanted to come again... Our dynasty's frontier, it's not them who come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want! This is my Wuping! It's not Qinghe!"
"Your Majesty is truly a wise king!" Zu looked moved and knelt in front of the emperor, paying a great gift. The expression of emotions was simply too real.
But as we all know, the old bastard Zu is a pioneer in fighting with the nobles. If he hadn't been able to compete with the nobles, Zu would have long clamored to kill these nobles. Similarly, if His Majesty had not protected him, the nobles would have long slaughtered Zu, the old dog!
So Zu Boxuan spoke for the Xianbei people. This movie-level performance not only did not touch them, but instead made them feel chills and goosebumps. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor's acting skills are still good, at least they did not see any flaws, and they were all grateful at the moment.
"It turns out that Your Majesty has not forgotten us old ministers and descendants who follow Emperor Gao!"
They have extremely close relationships with the border prefectures, but this time they dare not speak out.
The emperor in front of him is not very old and has a lot of heart. He smiles in front of him and is behind his back...
Since taking power, from the military service to the restructuring of the court, I don’t know how many people have fallen to the ground. There is a lot of bad water in my stomach!
It can be said that whoever dares to provoke court disputes and ethnic conflicts will send him to the road.
Who would have thought that today is different? His Majesty used to be mostly suppressing the Xianbei people and looking at the Han people. Today, he saw that His Majesty still cared about them very much!
Only Murong Yan and Duan Shao were very calm, and glanced at the moved ministers, then glanced at the emperor with a strong aura, and twitched slightly...
They are all masters who have survived the ups and downs of the officialdom, who doesn’t understand who? This political performance of the king and his ministers in front of the ministers was obviously a complete success. At least there is no problem in the righteousness.
"According to Your Majesty, how many troops will be more appropriate to transfer during this Northern Tour? Old ministers are the Minister of Revenue, so they should make plans early..." Zheng Shangshu was really disgusted and quickly stopped the performance.
Gao Wei did not understand military affairs, so he looked at Murong Yan, and the left prime minister cleared his throat and said, "According to the old minister, if the Jinzhou Road troops are not transferred on a large scale to the north, about 50,000 troops will be enough to support the northern patrol."
"Fifty thousand..." Gao Wei thought this number...is it a little small?
Murong Yan knew that the emperor was not good at military affairs, so he coughed and said, "Your Majesty is not good at Yanmen, and he ends at Sizhou at the farthest time. He mobilized tens of thousands of troops at every turn. It is too many. In war, it is not as good as the number of people, as possible. After the Jin Dynasty, there were few battles with hundreds of thousands of people... Besides, his old eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "Old ministers think that the Turks are just like the other ones! If you say you have wiped out them all, you will never dare to praise this Haikou. If you just click to defeat them alone and force them to ask for peace, haha, that's a handful!"
The old general's confidence infected Gao Wei, who asked, "I hope, who is the general?"
Murong Yan said without thinking: "I personally supervise the battle and control Yuan Jing'an, Yang, Xian Yu Shirong!"
Gao Wei's eyes were fixed, and then he smiled and said, "The left prime minister opened his mouth and asked for half of the officials in the border town..." He thought for a moment, and finally said, "In this way, I will stop at Sizhou, and the left prime minister is the general. I will give the left prime minister the power to control the governors of all states. Not only that... I will also transfer Gao Yanzong, Murong Sanzang, and Yang Su to the left prime minister. These are 100,000 soldiers..."
He stared at Murong Yan, and Murong Yan looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty is so trustworthy, I am so grateful to you!"
The emperor continued, "Then it's settled. He ordered the Duke of Jinyang County to stay in Jinyang, King Rencheng, the Grand Priest, the Censor and the Grand Priest to supervise the government, and the Left Prime Minister to be the general, to control the troops and horses of the states and to supervise the military affairs." His eyes swept across the steps, "King of Nanyang, King Nan'an accompanied him!"
