Chapter 754: Immortals go up the mountain
The population of the bureaucrats in Yizhou is nearly one million, mainly concentrated in the 100,000 mountains of Meishan, Luchuan, Qianwei, Yueshan, Qike and other counties in the south of Yizhou, and the southern part is the Nanzhao Kingdom.
They are not a complete tribe, but live in the mountains in the form of tribes, and there are thirty-six tribes with relatively strong strength, and there are countless small tribes in each one.
At present, the strongest tribe of wingmen is the black tribe living in Mianshui County, Luchuan, and its leader Qin Wang is the kingship of everyone, but in fact, these thirty-six big tribes also have mutual interests entanglement, even if someone wants to unite everyone into a strength, but also because everyone is scattered in the mountains, just all kinds of precipitous mountains are desperate, so although there are some outstanding people in the wingmen, but because of the inconvenient transportation, they have never been able to combine everyone, let alone build a complete country. Therefore, Qin Wang, the wingman king, really controls only the three major tribes of black, white, and green.
Qin Wang admired Han culture, and this Han name was chosen by him for himself. Although he is the most powerful wingman among the wingmen, his life has not been easy recently, because after Li Yuanji, the king of Qi in the Tang Dynasty, heard his name, he sent envoys many times, wanting to marry her youngest daughter Lan Xue'er as a side concubine.
As the king of the bureaucrats, Qin Wang is naturally not a reckless and ignorant person, he knows that Li Yuanji is covetous of the forces under his command, and wants to tie the black bureaucrats to his Warring States in the name of marriage, and then use his fame to recover the tribes of the big and small bureaucrats for his own use, but Qin Wang does not want to participate in the internal struggle of Li Tang, nor is he optimistic about the Li Tang Dynasty, which has been defeated repeatedly. But Li Yuanji has already given him a deadline, if he doesn't agree, he will raise a large army to attack, although they can hide in the depths of the mountain, but the current mountain, poisonous insects and beasts infested, if you really enter the mountain, I am afraid that most of the clansmen will die.
"Father......" At this time, an angry crisp voice sounded in the hall, and I saw a young girl of the wingman walking in angrily.
The girl had a palpitating, beautiful face, long dark hair draped over her shaved shoulders, a perfect silhouette, a pair of silver earrings on her ears, and three bright silver collars around her neck. This walk, the silver jewelry swayed, reflecting the skin as white as snow, showing the graceful neck, adding a bit of charm.
She was wearing a blue cloth shirt with white flowers, from the chest down, around a blue skirt, a wide belt full of knives tightly tied around her waist, and a silver Miao knife hanging underneath,
"Who messed with my Xue'er again?" Qin Wang looked at his little daughter lovingly.
"Aren't you still a Tang person? Li Yuanji's soldiers went too far, and today they came to fight again, killed several warriors in our village, and said that if we didn't agree, we would set fire to the village. ”
In the end, Lan Xue'er's pretty face and big eyes were full of anger, and the whole person was like an angry cheetah.
Qin Wang sighed and said tentatively: "Then Li Yuanji is the king of Qi in the Tang Dynasty, and he is very brave. If the daughter is willing, it is a good match. ”
"I don't!"
Lan Xue'er said angrily: "Even if I marry, I will marry a big hero, and I will never marry the ugly ghost who cruelty to my people." ”
A touch of bitterness rose on Qin Wang's face: "Because my father knows that my son is arrogant, and he doesn't want to agree, but what if he burns down our cottage?" ”
"Father, I ......" Lan Xue'er said with tears, her big eyes flooded with tears.
"King, there are two Taoist priests outside, the old Taoist name is Yuan Tiangang, and they say that they are the king's old friends." A wingman warrior burst in and said loudly.
"Who are you talking about?" Qin Wang said blankly.
"Yuan Tiangang."
"Yuan Tiangang?" Qin Wang, who came back to his senses, stood up with joy and looked at his daughter who was crying silently: "Daughter, come with me to greet Yuan Xianchang." ”
Before his daughter could react, Qin Wang had already rushed out in a hurry.
Lan Xue'er, who was gloomy, was stupid for a long time, wiped a handful of tears, followed her father's back, and ran to the gate in one breath.
But I saw that my father was welcoming two Taoist priests in, and the old Taoist priest who was talking to my father was holding the dust in his hand and had an extraordinary bearing.
He walked in the sunset, like an immortal. When he appeared, the sunset seemed to become dim.
Lan Xue'er froze.
In fact, not only her, but also the surrounding warriors all seemed to be stupid, all looking at this elegant old way in distraction.
At this moment, in this situation, everyone thought that they had seen a fairy.
Lan Xue'er looked to the side, stunned again.
It was a little fairy who was as rich as jade and as beautiful as a fairy......
"Xue'er, come and meet Yuan Xianchang." Qin looked at his stupid daughter and said.
"Lan Xue'er greets the Immortal Chief." Lan Xue'er's legs weakened, and she knelt down with a "poof".
"Miss Cher's gift is too heavy, please hurry up." Yuan Tiangang waved the Buddha dust, and under the sunset, the snow-white hair of the dust roots was shining, which made the already superstitious think it was an artifact.
"Thank you, Immortal." Lan Xue'er was full of awe, and said in her heart that the immortal is indeed an immortal, and she even knows my name. When she woke up from her dizziness, she found that she had followed the wingman 'palace'.
This made her think that Yuan Tiangang had cast an immortal method.
After sitting down, Yuan Tiangang found that although the hall was still simple, it was much cleaner and tidier than more than ten years ago, and some of the layouts were also full of Han family atmosphere, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Qin's cottage has changed a lot." ”
Qin Wang said gratefully: "Thanks to the Immortal Chief's mention back then, I am the black man I am today." We have been able to develop and grow, all because of the achievements of immortals. ”。
"It's all Brother Qin's good governance, how dare I take credit?" Yuan Tiangang looked at the cowering girl behind Qin Wang, and couldn't help but smile: "The virtuous niece is magnificent, gentle and elegant, and has a heroic spirit that the women of the Han family do not have. ”
"The immortal chief is too famous." Qin Wang didn't notice his daughter's eccentricity, and sighed: "For women, beauty may not be a good thing. ”
Yuan Tiangang's heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Qin, when I went up the mountain before, I saw that some warriors in the clan were injured, but why?" ”
Qin Wang glanced at his daughter and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, it's also to blame me for luring the wolf into the room." ”
"Oh?" Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed: "If Brother Qin can trust me Yuan Tiangang, you might as well tell me the truth, or you can help one or two." ”
"We have developed relatively well over the years, and we also have a certain reputation in Yizhou, but the tree is very popular, which has aroused the covetousness of the young people. Not long ago, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi in the Tang Dynasty, came to visit, I was in line with the heart of the guest, led the clan to welcome him up the mountain, who knew that this person was not ambitious, and wanted to annex us for his own use, and also accepted my daughter as a side concubine. Qin Wang sighed leisurely: "Although I am in the mountains, I also know that the Tang Dynasty is not the opponent of the Sui Dynasty at all, every time I fight, the Tang Dynasty has been defeated miserably, and now there is only an incomplete Yizhou left, if the Sui army comes to attack, the defeat of the Tang Dynasty will be in the blink of an eye." If we contribute to the Tang Dynasty, the whole people will surely become the funeral objects of the Tang Dynasty. If you change to an immortal chief, you won't agree, right? ”
"Of course not." Yuan Tiangang said.
Qin Wang said bitterly: "But Li Yuanji is extremely fierce and domineering, and every few days he sends people to harass us, in the name of martial arts, to kill our warriors, and today he killed several more, and threatened to set fire to the village." I really can't do it, I can only take my people to move to the mountains for refuge, and I am afraid that my people will die among poisonous insects and beasts, which is really embarrassing. ”
"Why didn't Uncle Qin lead his troops to lower the Great Sui?" Yuan Ziyan spoke out at the right time.
"Immortal Chief, this is ......"
"Brother Qin, forgive me, this is my daughter Yuan Ziyan. Emperor Shengwu of the Great Sui canonized her as a scholar of the Great Sui Taoist Academy and a 'former Zhengyi Doctor'. ”
"Immortal Chief, is Emperor Shengwu Yang Dong, the Great Sui God of War?" Lan Xue'er, who was slowly recovering, looked at Yuan Tiangang with burning eyes, and she ignored a lot of things in front of her, only noticing the words 'Holy Martial Emperor'.
The wingmen worship warriors, and Yang Tong's various amazing achievements have long been spread all over the world, in Lan Xue'er's opinion, the 'God of War' is much more dazzling than the 'Holy Martial Emperor'.
"Exactly." Yuan Tiangang nodded.
"Sister Fairy, can a woman also be an official?" Lan Xue'er asked Yuan Ziyan this time, who was dressed as a man.
"The Great Sui Dynasty is the only one, as long as you have the ability, whether it is a man or a woman, a young or old, or a Sui person, a bureaucracy, or a Qiang person, you can be an official or a general. For example, Concubine Wu Shui Tianji, she is not only a woman, but also a member of the Xi tribe, she was a general of the Great Sui before she became the imperial concubine; There is also Concubine Yin Mingyue, who used to be a general of the Great Sui, who once led a group of female soldiers to destroy Gaochang Kingdom, and was named the Duke of Mingyue County, and only entered the palace as an imperial concubine not long ago. "Actually, Yuan Ziyan also wanted to have a military position, but 'Yang Tong' actually gave her a civilian position.
"So, they all became generals first, and then imperial concubines?" Lan Xue'er asked.
"Exactly." Yuan Ziyan said: "Now that they are marching with the Holy Lord, each of them commands an army of 10,000. ”
"It's really enviable." Lan Xue'er was leisurely fascinated, "If only I could be a general." Father ......"
Qin Wang ignored her, looked at Yuan Tiangang, and changed the topic: "So, Yuan Xianchang is also out?" ”
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said: "I am now the eunuch of the Great Sui Dynasty, in charge of the Great Sui Astronomical Calendar, and our father and daughter are here to visit Brother Qin this time by holy order." ”
"I have long heard that Emperor Shengwu is wise and martial, and he is invincible in the world, and Emperor Shengwu even knows my Qin Wang?" Qin Wang's face was full of red light, and he was a little honored.
Yuan Tiangang said in his heart that of course Emperor Shengwu doesn't know about you, and my Taishi Ling is still freshly baked, I don't know if it's true or not. However, he said: "It's not a secret, we are here because the Holy Lord hopes that all the bureaucrats will return to the court and serve the court, and at the same time, they also hope to benefit the bureaucrats." ”
"The immortal chief has a great kindness to my clan, and I should have obeyed it, but it is just a matter of the lives of my clan's people, and I can't be careless." Qin Wang pondered for a long time and asked, "I would like to ask, if we return to the Great Sui, what can we get?" ”
"The saint has no national view, and treats the Sui people, the bureaucrats, the Xi people, and the Qiang people equally, as long as the bureaucrats return to the imperial court and go down to live in the mountains. The Great Sui government will give you land according to a unified standard. If your warriors have made meritorious deeds, they can also be officials and generals, and the highest can be the prince of the country, and they can even be statues in the temple and enjoy the incense of eternity. ”
"Really?" Qin Wang's eyes lit up.
"Even the Turks who have old grudges with the Great Sui can get a field the same size as the Sui people, and they can become generals; Of course, the bureaucrats who have no hatred in the past and no grievances in the past can also. Yuan Tiangang took out a manuscript and handed it to Qin Wangdao: "This is the Great Sui's policy program for all ethnic groups, and Brother Qin can look at it." ”
Qin Wang took it and looked at them one by one, and the joy on his face became stronger and stronger.
The bureaucrats longed not only for land, but also for equal status and treatment, but the Han people had always discriminated against the bureaucrats, treating them as objects of exploitation, and when the bureaucrats rose up to resist, the contradictions between the two ethnic groups were also exacerbated, and in the long run, there was only hatred between the two races.
And the content on this booklet is almost what the bureaucrats have been looking forward to for generations, if the emperor of the Sui Dynasty really does what he says, of course Qin Wang is willing to let the people leave the mountains with a harsh living environment and live a stable life in the lively towns. What's more, Li Yuanji pressed too hard and too hard, so that Qin Wang had no better choice but to return to the Great Sui.
He took a closer look and said to Yuan Tiangang: "Immortal Elder, this matter is related to the future and fate of my clan, and I can't make my own decisions, I need to consult with the elders, priests, and generals." In any case, I will reply as soon as possible. ”
"Reasonable." Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "But I hope Brother Qin will be as soon as possible." ”
"Why are you so anxious?"
"Because there is a great feat waiting for Brother Qin tonight."
"What merit?"
"When Brother Qin has made a decision, let's talk about this issue again."
"It's fine." Qin Wang was not reluctant, and asked his daughter to take the Yuan family father and daughter to rest, and then convened the leaders of the clan to discuss the matter.
