Chapter 135

"General, the Hun Liu Yuan has now annexed Xianbei, once again unified the grassland Zhuhu, and become the overlord of the grassland, and the threat to our Han is not the same. Liu Yuan became the king of Xia and established the Han system, and his ambition for the world of my Han family was clearly revealed, and he had to guard against it. I implore the general to send troops to the Northern Expedition, kill Liu Yuan, break the unification of the Hu tribe in the grassland again, and eliminate the threat to our Han Dynasty!" Without waiting for He Jin's reaction, Zheng Tai said excitedly.

Seeing that Zheng Tai was slightly excited, He Jin stretched out his hand to appease: "Gongye, don't be impatient!" Listen to what the other monarchs have to say!"

He Jin smiled on his face, but he was a little disdainful in his heart. Northern Expedition to the Huns? He's got a hot head to do this thankless job! Zheng Tai, a scholar, couldn't listen to it.

"The words of the public industry are a bit alarmist!" Yuan Shao said in a loud voice: "Over the years, the Xiongnu have repeatedly used swords and soldiers, setting off wars, even if they continue to expand, their own military strength is consumed, and the losses of the troops are not small. Xianbei itself is also suffering from serious internal friction, so it gave the Xiongnu the opportunity to annex. Today's Xiongnu, all the tribes stand side by side, so Liu Yuan wants to sort out the interior, but he doesn't know how much effort it takes. And Liu Yuan built the Xia Kingdom, I have also heard of it, no matter whether it is a kind or not, Rong Di barbarians, can get used to my Han family etiquette and system? Over the years, the overall strength of the Hu people in the north has declined, even if the Xiongnu have accepted the inheritance of Xianbei, it is far less powerful than the Hu people in the original Tanshihuai era, so there is no need to worry. ”

Yuan Shao's speculation and speculation seemed reasonable and well-founded, and was approved by many people in the hall. But Zheng Tai didn't eat this, and replied directly: "I don't dare to agree with what Ben Chu Gong said. You know, this is the Huns. And the way of annexation and development of the grassland Hu people has always been stronger and stronger, even if there is chaos at this time, when Liu Yuan sorts out the country, digests the fruits of the victory of annexing Xianbei, and invades the south, it is right in front of him! ”

"Huh!" Yuan Shao chuckled a few times: "As the public industry said." But I am a big man, first the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then the Liangzhou Rebellion lasted for several years; The rebellion in Youzhou has stopped, and the residual poison has not been cleared; There are also the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, one after another, and the state Baibo army, and the Montenegro Zhang Yan army. Where is the strength left to attack the Huns?"

"This ......" Hearing Yuan Shao say this, Zheng Tai was stunned, and he didn't know how to interface.

With a slight smug look on his face, he saluted He and said, "General, the most important thing now is to ensure the right of the prince to succeed to the throne. Your Majesty's health is getting worse day by day, and I heard that Your Majesty has the heart to make the son of that king beauty as his heir. And the eunuch is still arrogant, and the captain of the military academy holds military power and must be removed. One day, it will not be too late to sweep away the tumors of the eunuchs, the generals will assist the government, and take the power of the world, and then deal with the Huns!"

"It is worthy of being the third prince of the fourth world, so insightful, and the original words have won my heart!" He Jin stroked his palms and laughed.

The Xiongnu were too far away to make the princes of Luoyang feel threatened by Chefu. The founding of the Xiongnu is only mentioned in passing, and Yuan Shao's point of view He Jin agrees very much. At this moment, as long as Liu Wei is guaranteed to ascend the throne smoothly and the eunuchs are eliminated, he will be respected as a general and assist the world. When the time comes, it is not impossible to follow the story of Dou Xian Yanran and Le Shi.

Next, the topic of the deliberations turned to the matter of the heir to the throne. This is what is related to their future interests, and compared to the Huns who are far away in the sky, this is more worthy of the attention of all of you.

Sitting in the middle of the hall, a Confucian scholar with outstanding temperament shook his head slightly. Cao Cao, who was sitting next to him, noticed it and asked, "Gongda, it seems that he also has some objections to Yuan Benchu's words!" ”

The scribe was Xun You, the new Huangmen squire who had entered Beijing. Glancing at Cao Cao, who was beside him with bright eyes, Xun You restrained his emotions and replied in a low voice: "The words of the original public are very polite, but they can't help but underestimate the Huns. Today's Xiongnu are very different from the strong Hu in the north in the past, judging from some of the news that circulated, there is a hunch that it is not easy to deal with, and it is even more difficult to deal with than the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he squinted his small eyes, almost forming a line. muttered in a voice that was almost inaudible to others: "I, Cao Cao, my original ambition is enough to be the general of the Han Dynasty." Now, I want to become a general of the expedition to the north, seal the wolf Juxu, and Le Shi Yanran!"

The ears were sharp, and when he heard Cao Cao's words, a different color flashed in Xun You's eyes. This Cao Mengde is really extraordinary! Xun You sighed secretly in his heart.

Meiji, in late spring, has been three months since the establishment of the Xiongnu Xia Kingdom. Under Liu Yuan's active promotion, the grassland tribes slowly adapted to the new country and new system. The Xinxia nobles of Meiji also slowly evolved towards the "Han-style" aristocracy, and many clans abandoned the lengthy grassland surnames and changed their Han surnames, and also found ancestors for themselves among the Xia sages.

For a time, it became a trend to change the surname of Han and recognize the ancestors in the entire grassland. And those who changed their surname to Liu are countless.

Jiang He took the lead and summoned some Confucian scholars to imitate the Han rites and make the new rites of the Xia Kingdom. Compared with the Han Dynasty, it is more concise and easy to do. In February, Liu Yuan promulgated the law of etiquette of the Xia Dynasty, and the nobles of the Xia Kingdom all saluted in accordance with it, and they were in good order, moving closer and closer to the Han system.

With the crown on his body, Liu Yuan tilted his head and listened to Lan Zhi and Wang Rou's reports. Nine thin lines hung down, as if attracting Liu Yuan's attention.

Let Wang Rou and others conduct a rough census of Xia Guo, and the results were not as good as Liu Yuan expected. The entire Xia tribes, counting slaves, have a total population of just over two million. And the rewards and nobles' food estates, together with the population of the original clan, accounted for nearly half. Only half of the people who directly paid taxes for Liu Yuan, created wealth, and enriched the treasury.

Although Liu Yuan painstakingly promoted the system of Yiluo in the Xia Kingdom, it has had little effect so far. In addition to the original Hanjing County, the land of Monan has been implemented slowly.

But under Liu Yuan's will, dozens of large and small forts were built on the northern grasslands. The tribes of the Xia Kingdom surrounded these forts and migrated nomadically. In Liu Yuan's vision, over time, the entire grassland would slowly complete its administrative division.

Liu Yuan also slowly discovered that the most important system in today's Xia Kingdom turned out to be the newly formed title system, which helped him rule the grassland and rule the Xia Kingdom.

In addition to the army, the nobles were the foundation of his rule, which surprised Liu Yuan. Even so, the local system of feudal lords still had to be implemented, and Liu Yuan didn't want the Xia Kingdom to gradually evolve from a tribal alliance to an aristocratic alliance.

"Alright, stand down. Wang Rou, you presided over the household registration system, and it will be promoted as soon as possible, understand? Liu Yuan commanded.

"No! Wait for the resignation! ”

Stroking the hair of his sideburns, Liu Yuan's eyes were sharp, it had been six years since Zhongping, and Emperor Ling was not far from death. Dahan, it's going to be messed up!
