Perhaps it was the tragedy of last night that completely angered the long-enslaved Han people, and while Shi Min was fighting with those Hu people, the only remaining Han people in the city ran out of nowhere, some armed with sticks, some with stones, and launched a crazy attack on the Hu people, and since then, the scene has been completely out of control.

When Li Chang arrived with people, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, inside and outside Dali Temple, there were already mountains of corpses, rivers of blood, and the riot was temporarily controlled, but the price paid was also extremely painful.

Everyone present was red-eyed, at this moment, all the worries in his heart had disappeared, and Shi Min had only one thought: to expel the thieves and return peace to the Han people.

In just a few days, Yecheng experienced a riot that had not been seen in decades, and its harm was so great that Shi Min and everyone felt a chill down their backs, and in desperation, Shi Min immediately summoned a number of reliable cronies and some trusted Han officials in the court to discuss matters in the palace of King Yan.

"Master Hou, if the situation is chaotic today, Yecheng has been in constant conflict for several days, and the Hu and Han people have been killed and injured. This Yecheng is guarded by tens of thousands of your elite soldiers, and if it is so, what about those places where there are no Han soldiers and horses to garrison? What will it look like? The following officials guessed, I'm afraid the situation will only get worse! ”

"You're right, a few days ago, I led my troops to suppress bandits, and when I arrived in a small city north of Liyang, the Han people in the city had already been killed, and the Hu people fed on their flesh and blood, which was unbearable." Shi Min said.

"Hou Ye is right! Since the Jin dynasty crossed to the south, the north has long been abandoned by them, and now they live in a corner and have no time to care about the life and death of the Han people in the Central Plains. Now the Han people you see are only one-tenth of the twelfth before the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the rest have long been turned into dead souls under the iron hooves of the Hu people! The lower officials dare to ask the Hou Ye to call the shots for the Han people in the Central Plains! ”

After speaking, the old man, who was already old, knelt down for Shi Min.

"Master Hou, what Elder Huang said is right, but the lower officials also have some scruples, and there is a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You say!"

"In our hearts, we all want to respect the marquis as the king, but do you know, why do those royal relatives want to break the net with you?"

Shi Min frowned slightly and said, "It's probably because I'm Han and they don't want to obey me." ”

"That's just one aspect, and the other is who you are!"

"Identity? Why? ”

"Ling Zun grew up beside Emperor Gaozu since he was a child, and the Xihua Marquis Mansion was deeply favored by the Hu people, and now you have divided one side and dominated here, in their eyes, you are already an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person!"

Li Chang reprimanded angrily: "The Hu people also know benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety? What about the Xihuahou Mansion being favored by the emperor? Is my eldest brother willing to owe them? If Shi Hu hadn't killed my eldest brother's whole family back then, the world in the Central Plains now might be my eldest brother's! ”

Li Chang's remarks puzzled several ministers present, and someone asked: "Dare to ask General Li, what do you mean by what you just said?" I'm dumbfounded......"

Li Chang looked at Shi Min and said, "Xiao Min, let's talk about it yourself!" ”

Shi Min shook his head and said to Qin Huaishan: "Sir, it's up to you to talk about this matter!" ”

Qin Huaishan nodded slightly, stood up, saluted Shi Min respectfully, and said, "Young master, the old man wants to invite General Ran's handsome banner." ”

Shi Min nodded silently, and instructed Lu An beside him: "Take out the handsome flag!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Lu An took a brocade box, and after opening it, what was in the box was the handsome flag of Ran Long, and the two parts that had been separated before had also been completely stitched together.

"Father-in-law Lu, take the trouble to unfurl this banner so that you can see it clearly." Qin Huaishan said to Lu An.

Lu An nodded slightly and complied.

When the "Ran" character flag was displayed in front of everyone, almost everyone was at a loss, and only one person frowned slightly, as if he knew something.

"This Ran Ziqi is the handsome flag of General Ran Long, the leader of the beggar army, and it is also the wrapping thing that Emperor Gaozu picked up the young master's father from the battlefield back then. General Li's words just now are actually very simple, if it weren't for Shi Hu's collusion with the Xianbei Xiongnu and the Qiang and Di tribes to besiege the begging army, maybe the Qianzhao court would not exist at all, and this Central Plains may still be the world of our Han people! And the first marquis is the only son of General Ran Long, and the current young master is the grandson of General Ran. Ladies and gentlemen, you should be able to understand what's going on, right? Therefore, the rumors outside that my family's young master has forgotten his ancestors and is ungrateful, etc., is simply nonsense! It's just some sanctimonious slander. ”

After Qin Huaishan said this, everyone's reaction was a little surprised, and they all started talking, but Huang Lao stared at the handsome flag, not saying a word, thoughtful.

"Elder Huang, what do you think?" Qin Huaishan asked.

"Brother Qin, are you telling the truth?" Huang Lao stroked his beard and asked.

"It's true! Otherwise, where did this handsome flag come from? Qin Huaishan said solemnly.

"When I was young, I saw this flag, yes, it is indeed General Ran's handsome flag, this must not be wrong!" Huang Lao said.

Qin Huaishan was quite surprised and asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

"I've seen it!" Huang Lao nodded and said, "I didn't expect to see this thing again after so many years, the general's face, the old man still remembers it." ”

Huang Lao said, looked at Shi Min carefully, and said, "Brother Qin, when I said it, the little marquis and General Ran are indeed a little similar. ”

Shi Min was quite surprised and asked, "Old Huang, have you seen my grandfather?" ”

"Little Hou Ye, I have indeed seen General Ran in Xia, but as far as the old man knows, the Ran family has long been without a queen, how can it be the situation that Brother Qin said just now?" Huang Lao frowned slightly, and said: "The old man is from Anyang, and when General Ran scattered all his family wealth and raised troops, the neighboring squire families all reached out to help. Huang's scholars were powerless and could not make contributions on the battlefield like General Ran, but at that time, he also persuaded his father to send ten stones of grain before the final departure of the beggar army. At that time, the old man personally took people to deliver the grain, and when he arrived at the barracks, the handsome flag had just been hung for three days, and it was said that Mrs. Ran personally embroidered it with a needle and a thread. Now it seems that this is indeed the flag that the old man saw more than 40 years ago, and there will be no mistake! As for the rest, the old man doesn't have much to say. ”

Huang Lao's words surprised Shi Min and Qin Huaishan very much, obviously, he was doubting the authenticity of Shi Min's identity. Qin Huaishan hurriedly said: "Since Huang Lao saw General Ran back then, he should have heard of the Iron Guard Battalion, right?" ”

"I heard that General Ran personally took the old man to see the hundreds of people in the Tiewei camp, but the morale was very high, and I still remember it vividly."

"Do you recognize this?" Qin Huaishan said, and picked up his arm, revealing the tattoo on his arm.

Huang Lao stepped forward to take a look, his eyes immediately changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Huaishan's arm and looked at it for a long time, then slowly raised his head and asked, "Brother Qin is from the Iron Guard Battalion?" ”

"Exactly! Huang Lao has good eyesight! Qin Huaishan put down his sleeves and nodded seriously.

"You ......"

"I'm sure that the young master is indeed the descendant of General Ran! You can't go wrong! Qin Huaishan said solemnly to Huang Lao.

Hearing Qin Huaishan say this, Huang Lao was completely stunned, he looked at Shi Min carefully again, and said, "Oh my God! What the hell is going on? ”

"That's a long story, I'm not going to discuss this today, I'll discuss this matter with Brother Huang another day, I just want you to know that if the young master is self-reliant, it is also a matter of course!"
