Wuyuan County, Yiliang County.

In the square of the county seat, a man was tied up and knelt on the ground by Wuhuada, this person was the Han man mentioned in Jian Ce, who had been given to Li Yi by Du Zhan before. At the top, Du Zhan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others sat in front of the makeshift table, and Du Zhan, just as everyone read out Li Yi's reply to him aloud.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here, and even because there were so many people, many had to climb on the roofs to see the scene. This is also the reason why Du Chan chose to handle the case here. Among them, there are Han Chinese, Xiongnu people, Wuhuan people and even Qiang people, all of whom are ordinary people who do not want to follow Yu Fuluo's rebellion and flee here.

After a long while, Du Zhan finally finished reading, he slowly put Jian Ce down, looked at the man kneeling in front of him and asked lightly, "Bian Dang, you killed people in the street, which caused a very bad impact, and the evidence is conclusive and indisputable, now the official only asks you, are you guilty?" ”

"Villain...... Convicted! Bian Dang said in a trembling voice, his expression was full of various complicated emotions. There is unwillingness, anger, and a trace of regret. Because it is clearly mentioned in Li Yi's reply that murder pays for life, and the law is clearly written.

More importantly, he heard Li Yi's anger about this matter from Du Zhan's tone. Li Yi's prestige is so high in Bingzhou, you can clearly understand it by looking at the attitude of the people around him now. The neighbors who originally pursued him are now silent with their heads down, and no one dares to argue against him at this time.

"Good!" Hearing this, Du Zan nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around at the people around him and said loudly, "I know that there is an indelible hatred between Han and Hu for many years!" But the law is the law, and the people who were killed did not participate in the rebellion of the Hu people, but were just ordinary people who lived a stable life every day, should this kind of person die because they were Hu people?! ”

After saying this, the people around couldn't help but lower their heads, their expressions were complicated, although they felt that Du Zhan's words were a little wrong, but how wrong they were, they couldn't say it. On the contrary, it was those Hu people who showed gratitude on their faces one by one.

Perhaps only they and the local officials will be able to know how they have survived this time. Because of Yuvro's rebellion, they had to endure the hostile and contemptuous gaze of the Han Chinese. Hostility is naturally due to the rebellion of Yuvro, and contempt is because they have betrayed their country.

Subsequently, Du Zhan read aloud the new decree promulgated by Li Yi, and everyone was stunned all of a sudden. All the Han people instantly turned their heads to look at the Hu people who were standing alone, their expressions revealed strangeness, obviously they didn't expect Li Yi to issue such an order. Even Bian Dang, who had already been convicted and was about to be beheaded in the autumn to show the public, turned his head to look at the group of Hu people, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be very curious about what decision the Hu people would make.

The expressions of those Hu people were full of shock, stunned, and angry, and it was obvious that this decree was a little unacceptable to them for a while.

Seeing this, Du Zan said again, "Everyone, you can think about it, and if you want, you can stay, but then you will have to learn everything about the Han people." If you don't want to, I won't force it, but I have to ask you to get out of here. ”

Speaking of this, Du Zan paused for a moment, then looked at them again and said, "What Wushuang Hou said is actually quite reasonable, since you are here to live a stable and stable life, then you must have to pay some price. And in my opinion, this price is actually a good thing for you. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of those Hu people suddenly showed hesitation and thought. Well, strictly speaking, there is really no problem with what Du Zan said, after all, the culture of the Han people really doesn't know how high it is higher than the Hu people, and in fact, many of them Hu people also know a lot about the culture and language of the Han people. After all, they have lived in Bingzhou for so many years, and while the Han people have contaminated their habits, they have also been influenced by the Han people.

Seeing this, Du Zan did not urge, but just quietly waited for their decision, and the same was true of those Han people. However, this group of Hu people did not hesitate for too long, but after a few snaps of their fingers, several people came out and said respectfully, "The villain is willing to obey the decree of the Wushuang Marquis, and from today on, learn the culture, language, customs and everything of the Han people, and at the same time teach the villain's children ...... like this."

This person speaks fluent Chinese, and if he changes his Han clothes and hairstyle, I am afraid that no one will be able to find out that he is actually a Hu man. Obviously, he is the one among the Hu people who has been assimilated by the Han people.

And with him taking the lead, the rest will be easy to do, after all, the mass effect has always existed throughout the ages. It's like why the Yellow Turban Army is moving hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, except for those who want to take advantage of the fire and really can't survive, the rest are actually just a group of people who follow the trend. After all, people will always instinctively do what they think is in their best interest.

The same is true for these Hu people, who are able to stay and live a stable life as ordinary people. Without changing, they can only get out of here. Yes, although Dozan did not say that he wanted to kill them, is there any difference between driving them out and killing them? Apparently not. After all, where can they go?

Moreover, in addition to language, Li Yi did not ask for the complete abolition of the customs and beliefs of the Hu people, but it could not appear in public, which would undoubtedly make it easier for them to accept.

Seeing this, Du Zhan breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at the other Han people and said loudly, "Since they have made a decision, then I hope that you can truly treat them as your neighbors in the future!" Help them settle into their new life faster! ”

"No!" Hearing this, everyone responded in unison, whether they wanted it or not.

Yanmen County, Yin Pavilion.

"The Hu people can't be killed, just like in the past Huo Quai's Northern Expedition, the Xiongnu were replaced by the Xianbei people, even if we Han people occupy the entire prairie, these barbarians will still emerge from the surrounding wild land. This has been well known throughout the dynasties, but unfortunately no one has been able to think of an idea to deal with this situation. Now that Zikang can come up with such an idea and implement it, it really makes me and others who think they are full of reading the scriptures. Cai Yong sighed, looking at his expression, he seemed to be very ashamed and remorseful about it, but his tone, no matter how he listened, he was quite proud.

However, Cai Yong does have a reason to be proud, because Li Yi's behavior has never been done before the Han Dynasty. Whether it is the Qin and Han dynasties, the previous Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or even the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the treatment strategy for foreigners is very consistent, that is, killing, degrading and destroying with razing.

Killing is not only direct killing, but also the simplest but most effective means in order to reduce the threat of these Hu people as soon as possible during the expansion of successive dynasties. And debasement refers to the reduction of those who became captives to slaves and maids as a reward for meritorious officials or labor to clear the wasteland.

In fact, this depreciation is the most used by all dynasties, after all, manpower is a very precious resource in any era, especially in the case of land reclamation. And many of these degraded Yi people will live together with the Central Plains people who were also exiled here, and eventually intermarry in his generation or descendants. After all, the standard of living of these Yi people has caused their numbers to only decrease and decrease, but the Central Plains people who have been exiled here have always been.

The idea of using Yi to control Yi was first put forward by Deng Xun, Marquis of Gaomi, who treated the Qiang people well when he was the captain of the Qiang Protector, made them grateful, and made them useful to the Han Dynasty to deal with other Hu people in the north. To this day, the imperial court has treated many obedient and attached Hu people with such a strategy.

However, this practice is only to exchange their help through favor, and does not intervene and change their lives in the slightest. Even for ruling them, there is not much help. Because even if there are Qiang and Wuhuan captains, they are just just officials who communicate and supervise, and those Qiang, Wuhuan and even Huns still live under their single rule before.

"Yes, if this order is completely implemented, I am afraid that in a few decades, the term Xiongnu can only be seen in the history books. It can be regarded as a blessing for three lives to be able to participate in it. Guo Yi also sighed when he heard this.

His words were not deliberately flattered because he heard Cai Yongxuan's son-in-law's thoughts, but sighed from the heart. Because over the years in Bingzhou, Guo Yi has heard a lot of conflicts between Han and Hu, most of which broke out because of living habits and other issues.

This is also the reason why the population of Han people in Wuyuan and other counties is so small, because there are too many Hu people......

But then again, if someone had given such an order before, the only way to end up would be to be deposed and imprisoned by the imperial court. After all, this kind of action will definitely provoke the resentment and rebellion of those Hu people. But now, the Huns have rebelled, but Li Yi has been given the opportunity to do so. Of course, what is more important is that the person who gave the order is Li Yi, if it were someone else, he might not have the envoy and connections to make all the county officials obey, let alone the people in the state.

You must know that since the heavenly insect was on the table, Li Yi's reputation in Bingzhou was almost overwhelmed.

"I just don't know, what will the imperial court think after learning this news?" After half a ring, Cai Yong suddenly said with some concern.

"Alas, that's hard to say......" Guo Yi shook his head and sighed when he heard this. He also knew something about the things of the imperial court, so it was difficult for him to guess what the imperial court thought.

Similar discussions also took place in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Wuyuan, and even other counties, but Wang Yun and other scholars respected Li Yi's order, because in the case that it was impossible to kill all the Hu people, Li Yi's decision seemed to be the most in line with the actual situation.

And Lu Bu and other generals and many ordinary people had some objections to this decision, because the idea that their hearts would be different if they were not of our race was deeply rooted in their hearts. However, although there were objections, they did not oppose Li Yi's decision.

"The lord must have a deep meaning in carrying out such a decree, and we will abide by our duties and do what we should do." Lu Bu said to Closeness.

Lu Bu's attitude represents the thoughts of many generals to a certain extent. Because over the years, Li Yi has almost been regarded as an absolutely perfect lord in their hearts. Mistake? That's just because they haven't understood it yet. Although this idea seems too blind, it is indeed the true idea in the hearts of Lu Bu and others. After all, all Li Yi's actions all along have indeed been correct.

As for the common people, they also disagreed with this decree, but more often than not, they regarded it as an after-dinner conversation. After all, when it doesn't affect their lives, most of the things are just their talking points, and how many people will really stand up against it? Not to mention that the person who issued this decree was Li Yi.

And just when there was a heated discussion on Li Yixin's decree issued by Li Yixin on the side of Bingzhou, Li Yi's Shangshu was also sent to Luoyang.

"What a Song Dian! I ordered him to urge Li Qing to suppress the Hu rebellion, but he only knew how to open his mouth to ask for bribes?! Hehe...... 50 million money, what a big appetite! Spirit Emperor Liu Hong looked at this kind of person angrily and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be handled strictly! Otherwise, if it spreads, what will those officers and soldiers on the front line think?! Situ Yuan Kui hurriedly said.

On the side, Taiwei Deng Sheng and other scholars and doctors also echoed in groups, obviously, for them, this is a great opportunity. If you can grasp it, not only can you punish Song Dian, but also use it to deal a good blow to the arrogance of the eunuch forces.

Hearing the words of these scholars, Liu Hong turned his head to look at Zhang Rang, who was standing on the side, and asked, "Zhang Changshi, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is just the words of the Wushuang Marquis, and he should wait until Song Changzhi returns to Beijing to ask what the real situation is." Zhang Rang hurriedly replied when he heard this.

"Humph! The real situation?! Could it be that this sparseness of the Wushuang Hou is fake?! Yuan Kui immediately asked angrily when he heard this.

"It's really fake, I'll know it when Song Changshou returns to Beijing, I naturally don't think that Wushuanghou's Shangshu is fake, but I have to listen to Song Changshou's words, right?" Zhang Rang replied with a sneer.

Hearing this, Yuan Kui and others immediately attacked them en masse, and all kinds of charges against the eunuchs were brought out one by one, and the eunuchs and the scholars who were attached to the eunuchs did not show weakness, and kept refuting them, and the entire court suddenly became like a vegetable market.

Fortunately, the court meeting of this era requires everyone not to leave their seats without permission, no matter how angry they are, they must sit there and say, otherwise I really don't know if they will fight directly.

In this regard, the general He Jin on the side just watched coldly, neither helping the doctor nor the eunuch. Although during this period of time, he has been relatively close to the eunuch forces because of Liu Hong's hints, he still hopes to be independent, rather than becoming a subordinate of the eunuchs.

This kind of argument naturally has no result in the end, after all, no matter whether this kind of thing is true or not, you have to listen to what Song Dian said, right? It's just a pity that Song Dian can't defend himself.

A few days later.

Above the court, Yuan Kui, He Jin, Zhang Rang and others sat in their seats with gloomy expressions, and no one spoke. And the atmosphere in the entire court was also very solemn, because not long ago, the head of the guard responsible for protecting Song Dian finally arrived in Luoyang.

"Everyone, I think you should know why I summoned you here......" Liu Hong said with a cold tone as he looked at everyone, and anyone could hear Liu Hong's anger at this time.

Then, Liu Hong ordered the guard to go to the temple, "Come, tell everyone what you see, remember!" It must be reported truthfully! You can't miss a single detail! Otherwise, I will destroy your nine clans! ”

"No!" The guard replied weakly, and then spoke quickly. After saying this, everyone's faces suddenly changed.

Zhang Rang's expression was full of anger and disbelief, and Yuan Kui and the others were even more angry, and only He Jin lowered his head but didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the guard finished speaking that Liu Hong looked around at everyone and asked lightly, "Everyone, what do you think?" Although his tone was flat, it still made everyone shudder, because they knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already started to kill.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there must be fraud in this matter!" Situ Yuan Kui stood up and said loudly with a red face.

"Yuan Situ, do you think he is lying?" Zhang Rang asked with a sneer when he heard this.

"Naturally, he won't lie, but the minister thinks that the cavalry he saw is definitely not the cavalry of this dynasty!" Yuan Kui said loudly, isn't the cavalry of the Han Dynasty in the land of Bingzhou Li Yi's troops, to put it bluntly? If this matter is left to the table, Li Yi will definitely be in a catastrophe, and no one will be able to save him.

"Oh? What did Yuan Situ say? When Liu Hong heard this, his expression suddenly improved. Although he is no longer as fond of Li Yi as before, he is the one who pulled it up after all. In any case, he didn't want Li Yi to really commit such a heinous crime.

"Your Majesty, please ask Rong Chen to ask one or two again." Yuan Kui said respectfully when he heard this, and then after getting Liu Hong's permission, he walked in front of the guard and asked.

"Where did you meet that group of cavalry?" Yuan Kui looked directly at the guard and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Yuan Situ, I met at the boundary of Yanmen County and was about to go to Taiyuan County." The guard hurriedly replied when he heard this, not even daring to hesitate in the slightest.

"What are the counties around?" Yuan Kui asked again when he heard this.

"No, it happens to be a relatively remote place in Yanmen County, and there is nothing else except the official road for dozens of miles before and after." The guard replied.

"You just said that the cavalry was wearing the armor of the dynasty, but there was no flag, and no one spoke from beginning to end?" Yuan Kui asked again when he heard this.

"Yes, in addition, this is the arrow shot by the enemy when the villain was escaping, and it is indeed the arrow of this dynasty!" Hearing this, the guard said, and at the same time, picked up the arrow that had been placed on the ground and showed it to Yuan Kui.

Hearing this, Yuan Kui nodded, then turned to look at Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be a trick used by the Hu people to frame the Wushuang Marquis!" ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Hearing this, Liu Hong hurriedly asked. And Zhang Rang, who wanted to speak on the side, could only look at Yuan Kui again when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, now that the three counties of Hulu are Kou Shuofang, Shangjun, and Xihe, it is too easy to obtain the armor and weapons of this dynasty. In fact, among the enemies of Chen Bing Puzi City today, there are many remnants of the Yellow Turban and Hu Lu wearing the armor of this dynasty. Yuan Kui said respectfully.

"Well, that's true." Liu Hong nodded in response when he heard this, and his tone was a little calmer.

"Your Majesty, although Yuan Situ's words are true, the suspicion of Wushuang Hou cannot be cleared. Song Changzhi went all the way to Manbo, but he traveled in disguise, and until Manbo, he did not alarm the officials of the counties. In that case, why would those Hu people know? And can you just meet Song Changzhi and his party in such a remote place? Zhang Rang said.

"Well, Zhang Changshi's words are reasonable." Liu Hong nodded similarly when he heard this, and his face was covered with haze again.

"Humph! How did Zhang Changshou know that Hu Ren did not work in Beijing? How do you know that Song Changshou and his party are really not exposed? Yuan Kui snorted coldly when he heard this.

"If it was really Wushuang Hou's doing, then why did he do it so obviously? Chen believed that if Wushuang Marquis really wanted to kill Song Changshi, Song Changshou would not be able to get out of Manbo at all! Moreover, with the strength of the cavalry under his command, the minister did not think that he would be able to escape alive. Yuan Kui looked at Liu Hong and said respectfully.

"And Song Changshou and Wushuang Hou had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, why did he kill Song Changshou? Could it be because Song Changshou asked for a bribe from him?! But if that's the case, then it would be impossible for the Marquis of Wushuang to send someone to send this Shangshu, because if it wasn't for this Shangshu, who would know about it? Yuan Kui said loudly.

"The minister thought that what Yuan Situ said was extremely true, if the Marquis Wushuang really wanted to kill Song Changshi, he should also dress up as a Hu man! Even shouted a few nonsense. But the truth is that the group of cavalry did not speak from beginning to end. Therefore, the minister thinks that it must be the treacherous plan of the Hu people! The Wushuang Marquis is very famous in Bingzhou, and the Hu people are afraid in their hearts, so they have to use this trick to try to get His Majesty to replace the Wushuang Marquis. ”

"This ......" Liu Hong hesitated again when he heard this, and at the same time turned his head to look at He Jin, who was still silent. He Qing, I don't know who you think did this? ”

"This ......" He Jin suddenly became entangled when he heard this, and at the same time felt the sharp arrow-like gaze of Zhang Rang and Yuan Kui. After a long while, he said with some hesitation, "The minister thinks that it is better to send someone to inquire about this matter?" After all, the stakes are high, and the minister thinks that he should listen to what he has to say. ”
