Chapter 341: Chaos, Come to War

Chang'an is only a few days away from Pingcheng, and He Mulan uses the intelligence system of the Egret Officer, fast horses and flying pigeons, and the speed is extremely fast, so it is almost Tuoba Su's front foot to Chang'an, and Pingcheng has received the news from this side.

Recently, I was bullied by a stolen text, so I did a chapter of anti-theft self-protection, and replaced it after ten minutes. If you see this sentence, you can see it on the pirated website.,Please support the genuine.,Support JJ Literature City.,Because the author also needs to make a living to withstand the pressure of survival to create.,Thank you.

The capital of the Xia Kingdom was Tongwancheng, but in the minds of the Han people, the status of Chang'an and Luoyang was even more important than Pingcheng. Since Tuoba Tao conquered the Xia Kingdom, there have been countless civil officials in the court who have asked to move the capital to Luoyang or Chang'an, but they have all been beaten back by Tuoba Tao.

Although the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Chang'an and Luoyang is good, the roots of the Xianbei people are in the north.

The location of Pingcheng is not good, the land is barren, and there are often droughts or snowstorms, but it is the center of the northern countries, whether it is to monitor the six northern towns or transfer the surrounding soldiers and generals, it is much easier than Luoyang and Chang'an.

For example, if he goes to Mount Tai to seal Chan and then move the capital to Chang'an or Luoyang, it is equivalent to his self-proclaimed Han orthodoxy, don't say what the Hu people of the Xianbei clan and Wei think of it, even if Liu Song, who has been looking across the river from him, is afraid that he will not be able to accept such a situation, and he will send troops in a big way.

You must know that the reason why Liu Song was able to stand tall and absorb countless virtuous ministers and celebrities was because of the name of "orthodoxy". If he becomes the overlord of the Central Plains, even in order to compete for "orthodoxy", Liu Song will not be able to estimate the "balance" on face.

There are also Beiyan, Beiliang, Kumoxi, Tuyuhun......

Before he has recovered the entire north and unified the Central Plains, he will not consider moving the capital and sealing the Zen.

But the Hanchen people understood these truths, but they didn't want to listen to them.

Tuoba Tao understands that they will be loyal to the Xianbei people, in fact, because Xianbei is now the strongest in the north, and behind them are all high-ranking clans, family forces, which involve the whole body, in order to protect the clan, in order to develop the power, for the future of the children, even if they are no longer willing to serve the Hu people, they must strive to govern the country better.

Because they will only be strong if the country is strong. Otherwise, the Wei State has become a piece of meat on the chopping block, and these "scholars" who have a foothold on the territory of the Wei State may collapse at any time, just like the "Wang Xie" back then.

But these people want to get "orthodox" fame too much. They all know what the Han people in the south say about them:

-- "Well-dressed beasts", "lackeys of the Hu people", "Forgetting their ancestors in the dictionary".

The Xianbei tribe rose from Mobei and almost unified the Yellow River Valley by the hands of his Tuoba Tao, but although they established an unprecedentedly powerful Wei state, he could not solve the problem of legitimacy after he entered the Central Plains.

From the date of the Wei state's predecessor to the state of state, there was a long-term struggle for orthodoxy between the Xianbei and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Song, and Northern Yan countries.

For this, Tuoba Tao's grandfather even tried his best to prove that he was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and that he was of the same origin as the Xianbei people in terms of blood relationship, and that the Xianbei ancestor was the descendant of the Yellow Emperor's youngest son, Changyi, and was enshrined in the Great Xianbei Mountain, and called it "Xianbei" with this fief as the name.

However, there is no record in the historical books of the Central Plains, and although the folk songs and legends in the north are justified, the people of the Central Plains just don't recognize them.

In addition to this, several generations of monarchs of the Tuoba family have respected Confucianism culturally, reused the learned people in the Central Plains, and Tuoba Tao himself issued at least three edicts, so that all over the country recommended "talented and virtuous" scholars to be officials, and became important officials at all levels of the Wei State.

Tuoba Tao's heavy use of the Han people, resulting in the court of Han and Xianbei people almost divided into courts, the country's national strength is thriving, and the scholars from all over the country have joined in, but when it comes to some sensitive issues, these Han people are like a demon to work together to push up, even if he is the emperor, they will not give in.

For example, you must kill Wang Jin, who has caused chaos in Chang'an, to set an example;

For example, even if Chang'an can't be used as the capital, at least it can't have a weaker status than Tongwan, otherwise anyone who goes to Chang'an will be ruined for a while, and Chang'an will be ruined sooner or later.

These Han people attach as much importance to Chang'an as they do to Luoyang. When the Xianbei people got Luoyang City, Luoyang was almost in ruins. These Han people in the north kissed the land of Luoyang, bowed down to the ancestors of Luoyang, and relied on their strength to rebuild Luoyang.

Before the reconstruction, the scholars under the rule of Xianbei visited Jiankang City in the south, and some took out the books of their families in the Han and Jin dynasties as a reference, thinking of restoring the grandeur of the year.

It's just that Luoyang City was too badly broken, and the manpower and material resources were not allowed at that time, so no matter how hard the Han people in the north tried, the current Luoyang is just a small main city.

Even so, how many big clans secretly bought property near Luoyang, and how many scholars pushed Luoyang to become the capital of Wei, we know that the Han people attached great importance to "orthodoxy".

Many people know that the Cui family and the Lu family mobilized all the scholars to promote the war against Liu Song and Xia Guo, in fact, these two cities.

Now Chang'an has also been obtained, Luoyang has also been obtained, the two Central Plains imperial capitals have all entered the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Luoyang is dilapidated, Chang'an is not necessarily much better, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at Chang'an, hoping to send capable Hanchen to govern Chang'an, repair this ancient capital, and revive the prestige of Chang'an......

Then Tuoba Tao sent a straw bale king.

For this matter, Tuoba Tao was admonished by Cui Hao on the spot and almost turned his face, if it weren't for Gu Bi and other Xianbei ministers and clansmen to push it, Tuoba Tao and those few. [,! Don't even think about political affairs in the month (all Hanchen strikes, today you call sick, tomorrow I break my leg).

But Tuoba Tao is also afraid, the culture of the Han people is too terrible, many scholars in the Xia Kingdom are Han people, and they are bent on moving the clan to Liu Song to defect to "orthodoxy", and then go to a capable official from the Han family, in case of collusion with each other, Chang'an and Luoyang rely on each other, and the balance is chaotic, and the Xianbei people and the Han people will have disputes again.

Both places are close to Liu Song, and in the hinterland, the situation in Chang'an is more complicated, it is surrounded by many Xiongnu tribes and Qiang people, Di tribes, located in strategic places, there can be no mistakes.

Although Wang Jin has no talent, he can defend the city, and he is also an identity that the clan and the Xianbei clan can agree on. If he himself has no prestige, he can't resist Tuoba Su, who commanded Wancheng, and General An, who is stable, and others, and if there is any problem, he can calm it down at any time.

Moreover, he is Tuobati and his nominal cousin, Princess Duanping, as one of the most active princesses in Pingcheng, has a lot of strength in the backyard of the Pingcheng bureaucracy and can settle the dissatisfaction of many officials.

At that time, Tuoba Tao had almost no choice, and the only one who could reassure him without any ambition was this Wang Jin.

But who would have thought that he had no ambition for politics, but he was too greedy!

"Wang Jin almost made the people of Chang'an change, this crime cannot be tolerated! Please personally investigate this matter and go to Chang'an! Cui Hao bowed to the ground with his head and asked for a thorough investigation into the matter.

Behind him, one after another, Hanchen stood up and asked to go to Chang'an to investigate the matter in person.

As for what happened to Wang Jin after the investigation, it is also conceivable.

Tuoba Tao had the testimony of He Mulan and Gao Shen in his hands, and knew that Wang Jin's crime was by no means as simple as embezzlement and inciting the army, and he almost immediately became murderous when he heard Mulan's name.

Everyone knows that Mulan is his right-hand man to be reused, if it is said that the Han people want to move Mulan, it is understandable, but Wang Jin is just a relative, and he actually has murderous intentions towards Mulan, there must be a reason behind this.

Emotionally speaking, Tuoba Tao naturally wanted to simply kill Wang Jin with a knife, but intellectually, Tuoba Tao knew that there must be a terrible force behind Wang Jin to push him, even if he was doomed, he would kill Mulan. He wanted to know which side of this force was manipulating, so he couldn't let Wang Jin die.

If the person he chooses is not right, Wang Jin is likely to die in the "interrogation", or he will be directly listed and died on the way to Pingcheng.

After all, if the power in the army is strong, it is Xianbei and strong, and the Han people pursue "balance" and will not see the imperial power grow.

So no matter how Cui Hao and the others requested, Tuoba Tao just didn't speak.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Chang'an must not be chaotic, and the Qiang people are not trivial, Helian Ding is also trapped in the summer land, and I want to go to ...... in person."

"No!"

"No, your majesty!"

"陛xià! How can you get out of Beijing now! "

At this time, Mo said that Cui Hao and the others, even Gu Bi and other civil and military officials were scared half to death, and they almost crawled to Tuoba Tao's side and hugged their thighs and howled.

With this emperor's casual personality, and so many reasons, maybe he really ran away. Not to mention that if Helian Ding hadn't disappeared, this majesty would have already gone to the realm of Xia and Wei to meet him, and even the honor guard and men and horses were ready-made.

The more a group of ministers thought about it, the more anxious they became, the more worried they became, the Xia Di Hu clan wanted to rebel, my God, at this time, Tuoba Tao went, didn't Ming Huang tell those Hu people "Come and arrest me"?

The civil and military officials were worried to death, and Tuoba Tao still added fuel to the fire: "When I used Wang Jin, I didn't know people clearly, plus this Wang Jin was barely counted as my cousin, this is not only a state matter, but also a family matter, I am the monarch, but also the head of the family, he is so untamed, I want to personally bring him to justice......

Listen to your!

The Tuoba family has been scattered for so many years, your cousin and cousin don't have a car and a basket, and you have to personally implement the "family law" for each crime, and the emperor doesn't want to do it, just open the torture hall!

The admonishing officials buried their heads in the ground and rolled their eyes vigorously.

A thorn like Gu Bi simply jumped up.

"Your Majesty, if you say that the family education is not strict, don't say that this Wang Jin has no princess blood......"

Tuoba Tao rubbed his chin.

"Hey, that's what I said, when I think about it, there's a reason why this kid is so stupid.'"

Gu Bi continued to shout angrily: "How can such a person who uses power for personal gain be worthy of His Majesty's danger for him? The Hu clan may be in turmoil at any time, and His Majesty will still be in charge of Beijing! If you want to talk about family education, this Wang Jin's mother, Princess Duanping, is the aunt of His Royal Highness the King of Yingchuan! "

Gu Bi stretched out his hand and pointed at Kumoti, who was in the forefront of the military attaché.

As soon as Kumoti's spring sacrifice is over, he will go to Montenegro to take office, and it has not been a month, and Gu Bi suddenly stretched out his hand like this, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Bi pointed at Kumoti, glanced at Cui Hao, who wanted to speak, and immediately spoke first: "His Royal Highness the King of Yingchuan is Wang Jin's cousin, and he has always been fair and selfless, if the prince of Tuobati goes to verify it in person, he will definitely not bend the law for personal gain, and he will not harm innocent ......."

"Hua Mulan was a subordinate of the prince, and Wang Jin is a relative of the prince, so he will definitely be impartial, if Wang Jin is really a criminal, presumably the prince will kill his relatives in righteousness, isn't it?"

Gu Bi has an upright personality and asks for an answer to Kumoti on the spot.

'What's this called a problem?'

Kumoti couldn't laugh or cry.

Even if he bends the law for personal gain, will he still be? [,! Can you admit it in front of everyone in the court?'

Kumoti secretly sighed in his heart that this minister's personality was too upright, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble in the future, but he nodded very sternly.

"Yes, if he is really full of evil, I will kill my relatives in righteousness."

What kind of serious relative is that guy? It's just a handmaiden's child being raised.

If he is motivated and capable, it is nothing for him to take care of him, but he has been greedy for money and has no brains since he was a child, and his biological mother who seduced his master is the same thing.

If it weren't for the fact that his aunt had no children under her knees and worried about him every day, he wouldn't even look at him.

Gu Bi shouted for a while, so that all the questions changed from "which Hanchen will go" just now to "Oh my God, Your Majesty must not go", until now, "It turns out that there is a suitable candidate here", it can be said that the situation has changed without a trace.

Tuoba Tao laughed in his heart, and nodded solemnly with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Well, after hearing this, Kumoti is indeed the right person, Mulan believes in him, he is also fair, and he will not wronged good people. So be it......"

He immediately gave the order, not giving the other important ministers time to react at all.

"With the general of Montenegro, Yingchuan Wang Tuobati as the special envoy, and Zhongshulang Youya as the deputy envoy, went to Chang'an to investigate the matter thoroughly. If Wang Jin is indeed guilty, there is no need to press to the stable, and the local judgment will be made! "

Tuoba Tao made an edict here, and there were people over there who immediately waved their pen and drafted the decree and promulgated it.

Kumoti shook his head and took the order, and Guangping Youya is a Hanchen, Guangping Youjia is not inferior to the Cui family and the Lu family, and the world-famous "Ren County Three Tours" - You Ya, You Minggen, and You Zhao are the leaders of Shilin scribes.

Among the three, You Ya's literary talent is the most outstanding, You Minggen is highly respected, and You Zhao is an upright official. Although You Ya is also a Hanchen, he doesn't deal with Cui Hao very well, thinking that he doesn't have the "bearing" of a celebrity and the "elegance" of an official, but he is a prestige person after all.

The most important thing is that this Zhongshulang is good at discussing the length of the person, if this Wang Jin has any criminal responsibility, even if Kumoti wants to hide it, he can't hide it, he has to tell the world about it, and everyone knows it before he is satisfied.

Until this time, who else didn't know that they were being calculated by Tuoba Tao again? It's no wonder that this king is so whimsical that all the ministers are scared to death when they hear "I'm going", otherwise why would they be led by the nose?

For a while, the dust of Chang'an was settled, Kumoti took the Eagle Yang Army to Chang'an to investigate thoroughly, and You Ya, the Confucian who was the best at writing articles, followed to "supervise", no matter how indignant the ministers were, in the end it was still Tuoba Tao's superior skills and achieved their goals.

Kumoti went in person, whether Wang Jin was dead or alive or not, it all depended on Tuoba Tao's thoughts.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Tuoba Tao summoned Kumo to mention the Wuchang Palace, and inevitably mentioned it.

All the ministers knew that there would definitely be this time, but You Ya was not recruited into the palace together, and they couldn't get in, so they could only whisper outside the palace gate, speculating what Tuoba Tao would do with Wang Jin.

"You are going to Chang'an, not only to thoroughly investigate Wang Jin's affairs, but also to help me carefully investigate the Chang'an clan's opinion of my Great Wei." Tuoba Tao's tone was cautious: "These Han people in the Xia Kingdom are powerful, Helian Bobo and Helian Chang govern the country by cruel means, these Han people are already overwhelmed, and they are afraid of my Xianbei sergeants in their hearts. Leave them in Chang'an, for a long time, I am afraid that even if there is no matter of Wang Jin, there will be turmoil......"

"Your Majesty is worried that the Han people in Xia will help the Qiang people and other Hu tribes to make trouble?"

Kumoti heard the song and knew the meaning of the strings, and asked rhetorically.

"They probably don't dare to send troops directly, but there will probably be covert funding. However, according to what Hua Mulan said in the letter, this captain named Gao Shen has won the hearts and prestige of Chang'an, and may be able to become a breakthrough."

Tuoba Tao patted Kumoti on the shoulder: "Xia Guo has just decided, I don't want to raise swords again, this time you go to Chang'an, in addition to investigating Wang Jin, you also have to help me recruit people of insight in Chang'an and Xia Kingdom, especially the scholar Gaomen, I want to use these Gaomen to enter the imperial court and govern Wei with the Gaomen of Wei."

"His Majesty wants to emulate the first emperor and give the Han people a sense of belonging? I'm afraid that my prestige is not enough to recover the Han people in Chang'an, and if they don't come, I will seem incompetent, but Your Majesty's face ......."

"So, I have to show them the strength of my Great Wei." Tuoba Tao laughed, "The Tiger Ben army from Montenegro has arrived, and your Eagle Yang Army is inseparable from you, you take them to Chang'an......"

Kumoti was shocked.

"Di Ziyu has been captured, you and Hua Mulan go to the land of the Qiang people, if the Qiang king and his wife surrender, if they refuse to surrender and continue to contact Zahu, you will send troops to quell the chaos and tie the Qiang king and his wife to Pingcheng."

Tuoba Tao didn't have a good impression of this Qiang who wrote and reversed, and his tone was terrible.

"Hua Mulan hasn't been on the battlefield since the first battle of Rouran, and now people have forgotten her skills, and even cats and dogs want to kill my general of Great Wei. Since this is the case, let her let go of her hands and feet to do a big job, and show the world that the general of my Wei State is so easy to kill! "

In the end, I still want to support my family.

Kumoti shook his head, feeling childish for Tuobatao's short-sightedness. But he's also within the range of Tuoba Tao's protection, so it's not good to laugh at him.

"If you can share your Majesty's worries, General Hua and I naturally have no objection. It's just that with my understanding of Mulan, General Hua probably wouldn't be willing to do this kind of errand to quell civil strife. What's more, the Qiang people just want to rebel, but they haven't raised troops to do anything. [,! The army is pressing the border, and the surrounding clans are really going to rebel if they don't ......"

Tuobatao was only worried that the Qiang people really used gold and silver to say that they had moved all the tribes to rebel together, and wanted to strike first, but now that Kumoti said it, he felt that his words were not unreasonable.

What's more, the Qiang people are soldiers on horseback, and people are on horseback, and the same is true for other tribes, when Mulan conquered Rouran, she refused to kill the prisoners, and captured so many herdsmen back, almost worried about the logistics officer, thinking that she really wanted to crusade against many tribes, and it was inevitable that it would be a woman's kindness......

This is indeed a big problem, perhaps because Mulan is a woman and is always not ruthless enough in her means. It's good to resist foreign enemies, the Hu people are stubborn and repetitive, this kind of suppression doesn't use thunderbolt means, almost can't work, such as Rouran, since a few decades ago, I don't know how many times it has fallen, and how many times it has rebelled.

Even Di Ziyu first descended to the Xia State, and then rebelled against the Xia State and returned to the Wei State, and now according to Yucui, this gold and silver statue was given by Liu Song, that is, it has begun to be attached to Liu Song again......

There is really no need to surrender to such a miscellaneous beard, and if you keep it, you have to be frightened, and it is better to send someone to supervise it.

Tuoba Tao squinted and nodded.

"That said, then the matter will be left to you. Hua Mulan, as soon as this matter is over, you will let her continue to send Helian Ding back to Beijing."

The two discussed again, and then Tuoba Tao let him out of the palace.

As soon as Kumoti left, another eunuch came to report, saying that Princess Helian Mingzhu asked to see her.

With the news that Mrs. He was pregnant, Helian Mingzhu's attitude towards Tuoba Tao began to leave again, no matter how much he flattered or deliberately invited her to go out for a walk, she almost didn't pay much attention.

Tuoba Tao is also impatient to fall in love with women, and after a few cold faces, he has a lot of things, so he simply put Helian Mingzhu aside.

It's just that after Helian Ding disappeared, and Helian Zhishui was sent by him to follow Hua Mulan again, the princess had no way to learn about the outside news, and when she asked to see him, she became more and more.

Helian Mingzhu is also interesting, she knows that she can't make friends with foreign ministers, and she doesn't want to find a way in the harem, so she simply goes to him directly every time and asks her what she wants to know generously.

It's just that Tuoba Tao likes it neatly the most, he is not a person with a strange personality, but the women in the harem can't wait to talk to him so much that they don't know what to ask, Helian Mingzhu is so straightforward, Tuoba Tao doesn't bother to think about it, just say what he can say, don't say what he can't say, it can be said that everyone is happy, and both sides are satisfied.

The same is true today, Helian Mingzhu heard that Mulan had news back, and immediately asked to see Tuoba Tao.

The whole palace regards Helian Mingzhu as the future "lady", and flatters her a lot, plus she has been Tuoba Tao's "close person" before, and Tuoba Tao's eunuchs are familiar with her, and they are also willing to pass on words for her and ask for favors.

Helian Mingzhu was announced, and as soon as she asked what she wanted to ask today, Tuoba Tao appeased her and told her that Helian Ding had been found, and that her former female official named Yucui was lurking beside Di Ziyu, and she also found out the movements of the Qiang people.

Hearing that Yucui was fine, her brother was fine, and her nephew and Hua Mulan were all fine, Helian Mingzhu silently thanked the gods for their protection in her heart, and immediately bowed down and asked Tuoba Tao:

"Your Majesty, my Helian family owes Yucui too much, she is ruined for us, and there will be no better match in the future. When this is over, can you ask Your Majesty to give Yucui a background so that she can gain a foothold in the world?"

This is to ask Tuoba Tao for a reward for Yucui.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, in order to prevent Xia Di from being chaotic, this woman has done a very admirable thing. Especially for Helian Ding and the Qiang people, and even for the blood book to communicate, he is not inferior to the men in the world.

Tuoba Tao now has a certain interest in Helian Mingzhu, and always hopes that Helian Mingzhu will be happy, not to mention that he can reuse Mulan himself, of course, he has no intention of looking down on women.

So, he nodded almost without hesitation.

"That's right."
