"Ape Fei, why are you suddenly interested in these things? That's a long story. ”

The old man who spoke was named Chao Heng, and his Japanese name was Abe Nakamaro, and when he was young in the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he was sent to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

Because he was smart and studious, he was allowed to enter Chang'an's Taixue for further study. Unexpectedly, after a few years of study, he actually passed the most difficult imperial examination in Datang and became a jinshi.

Later, Abe Zhongmalu changed his name to Chao Heng, and was promoted all the way, winning the favor of Li Longji, and even achieved the high position of secretary and supervisor and Wei Weiqing. Up to now, all the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty by the Wa Kingdom have come to him first and take him as their teacher.

"Master Chao, you just make a long story short, I'm just very curious, I heard people talk about it, saying that these two Hu have rebelled many times, I wonder, why would the Tang Dynasty still allow them to continue to live in the heartland, and still entrust them with important tasks?" The young man named Sarufei Jinzo was puzzled.

The high-ranking official named Chao Heng smiled, with admiration and praise on his face: "This is Datang's mind that is compatible with the world, the so-called tolerance is great, and it is precisely because of this mind and bearing that Datang has become so powerful and admirable today!" ”

Two men, one woman, three young people, seemed to understand or not, and looked at the old man thoughtfully.

Chao Heng was born as a literati and scholar, and has been studying the classics of Tang culture tirelessly for decades, and has been working as a secretary and supervisor.

As early as more than 120 years, the Eastern Turks were enemies of the Tang Dynasty and were wiped out by Emperor Taizong, and millions of Turkic tribes surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the land of Hebei was sparsely populated, and Emperor Taizong was benevolent and adopted the suggestion of Wen Yanbo, the commander of the letter of letters, to settle these million Turkic tribes in the land of Hebei and the Great Wall area in the north of Hedong Province. ……

Later, the Tubo rebellion, the Tang Dynasty suffered two defeats, and the strength was greatly damaged, and these more than one million Turkic tribes who had been raised by the Tang Dynasty for decades took the opportunity to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, plundered property and population, slaughtered cities everywhere, and troubled the Tang border for decades.

When Jinzi ascended the throne, the Later Turks began to weaken, and various internal rebellions and riots continued to attack each other.

Under such circumstances, the tribe where Ashina Chengqing was located was defeated and driven away by the enemy within the Turks, and there was nowhere to stay, and they were panicked like lost dogs, so they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and were placed near Yingzhou.

Later, they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty twice, and after they fled back from the border, the Turks continued to participate in the struggle, but soon lost the struggle and once again attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't until nine years ago that the Tang Dynasty was a famous general who perished in one fell swoop, and the Turkic tribe where Ashina Chengqing was located had been in peace for ten years, but he didn't expect that he was still anti-dead behind his back, and plotted to make trouble for a long time. ”

Chao Heng's son Abe Qingming said: "The Tang Dynasty is too tolerant of these Turkic Hu, and if you want to do the opposite, you will do the opposite, and those who want to surrender will surrender." Fathers have always taught their children that there is a price to pay for doing wrong, but the rebellion of these Turkic Hu does not need a price! ”

Chao Heng was stunned.

Ape Fei Jinsan said: "Master Chao, what is the matter with Liuzhou Hu?" ”

Chao Heng said: "Liuzhou Hu is the Sogdian Hu of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, as early as more than 80 years ago, the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms in the river were oppressed by the white-clothed food and forced to move east.

Later, the Later Turks rebelled and dominated the steppe, so these Sogdian Hu of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were attached to the Later Turks, received preferential treatment, became a part of themselves, and were passed down from generation to generation as leaders.

Later, for the same reason, there was a rebellion within the Turks, and they could not survive, so they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and were placed in the six prefectures of Lu, Li, She, Sai, Yi and Qi inside and outside the Yellow River Loop, known as Liuzhou Hu.

Like the Turkic Hu, thirty years ago, this group of Sogdian Hu also united with the local Turkic Hu, and the Dangxiang Hu rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

But they overestimated their own strength, and did not run away after plundering like the Turkic Hu, but occupied the county of Datang Prefecture, plundered and slaughtered the city at the same time, and almost slaughtered tens of thousands of Han people in Changquan County.

Later, the Tang general Wang Hui led 3,000 troops to quell the rebellion, defeated their 15,000 army in only one battle, captured its leader Kang Zhibin alive, and escorted him to Chang'an to be beheaded.

The remaining more than 50,000 people in Liuzhou surrendered immediately, because they did too much evil, this time the Tang Dynasty did not easily forgive them, and moved them to the Central Plains and Jianghuai Prefectures.

They were accustomed to a nomadic, uncertain migration life, and were not accustomed to the local farming life, so they begged the Tang Emperor for mercy every year and begged to return to Liuzhou.

So in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, that is, thirteen years ago, the Tang Dynasty set up a new state in the original six states (the original six states were counties, and this new state was a county), called Youzhou, and allowed these six states to move back to their hometowns.

Those who forgive their sins, and the name Youzhou is to express the meaning of the Tang Dynasty's leniency for them.

It's a pity that this group of Zhongshan wolves didn't understand the deep meaning of Datang, thanked Datang for his kindness, wolf ambition, and his dead nature, and they have been plotting to rebel all the time! ”

Ape Fei Jinsan said: "Master Chao, do you think that Datang will forgive their guilt this time?" ”

Chao Heng thought for a while and didn't speak, Abe Qingming said again: "Father, I think Datang's policy is very problematic!" ”

"What's the problem?"

"Datang is too compatible, it is too good for these grassland Hu, only tolerant, not educating. And there is no risk of rebellion, so that even if another hundred or two hundred years pass, these steppe barbarians will still be as rebellious as they are in the steppe.

What's the point of such compatibility? No matter how good they are to these grassland hu, they will always think about rebellion, and they will not know gratitude! ”

Ape Fei Jinzo said indignantly: "Just say what you say!" These grassland barbarians, uneducated, and rebellious, can still live in the land of Hebei, and they can travel well.

Our Japanese culture, etiquette, and system all learn from the Tang Dynasty, but they can only be confined to that small island full of volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. How unfair! Why can't we ......"

Chao Heng glared at him viciously, sweat broke out on his forehead, the young man was open-mouthed, and he really dared to say anything!

Fortunately, the sound was very small, and the other people around whispered to each other, and no one paid attention to this side. If someone listens to it, there may be some misunderstanding in your heart.

Of course, he would not have thought that their words had already been listened to by Xiao Qubing word for word, and this group of Japanese people was also brainless, so it was okay to use the Japanese language.

Xiao Quzhi smiled, this Chao Heng and his son seem to be thinking well, especially his son, the word gratitude is like an empowerment, giving himself a wake-up call.

But this one called Ape Fei, with a yin mind, turned out to be this kind of thought. Since Datang is so kind to others and we are so respectful, why can't we enjoy the same treatment as Turkic Hu and Liuzhou Hu?

He actually had the idea of coveting the land of Hebei in the Tang Dynasty because Datang was too tolerant!

Very good! This kind of mentality, this kind of ambition and paranoia has really not changed for thousands of years, and it is very good!

By the time Xiao Qu was sick and eight points full, Bai Xin had already brought dozens of people to Danfeng Tower, including Kang Heinu, Sun Sancao, He Tietou, and Shi Murong, the four snake tooth leaders of Chang'an City.

Bai Xin descended, more than 30 soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army, their clothes and armor were stained with blood, although they were full of smiles, but the evil aura that came from the inside out shocked the military officials and envoys of various countries on the Danfeng Tower, and they were stunned.

"Your Majesty, after a hard battle, the ministers and others have captured all the four leaders of Chang'an Snake Tooth, Kang Heinu, Sun Sancao, He Tietou, and Shi Murong alive, and the rest of the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army is chasing down the remnants of the enemy and counting the goods.

This group of snake teeth is really a wolf with ambitions, and they are all outlaw masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are many internal organs in the stronghold, and there are countless strong bows and crossbows.

Fortunately, General Xiao planned thoroughly, and with the help of the Taoist priest Louguan and the master of the Persian Hu Temple, it was broken in one fell swoop. The ministers did not dare to delay, and took the four leaders as soon as possible, as well as the accounts and letters found in the stronghold, and came to pay the order to His Majesty first! ”

Li Longji nodded and said: "Aiqing works hard, each person will be rewarded with a gold and silver utensils, and a banquet!" ”

Bai Xin handed over the account books, letters, etc., and ordered the soldiers under his command to hand over the four snake tooth leaders to the eunuch and the three guards on duty and take the people down, they should hurry up and feed themselves.

Li Longji glanced at the accounts and letters a few times, which recorded the flow of money and what the snake tooth had done in the past few years, and he was furious, slapped the royal case, and said loudly: "Snake tooth thief, can you and others be guilty?" ”

Kang Heinu and the other four leaders were tied up with flowers and escorted by eight small eunuchs, and at this time they were all so frightened that they trembled, and their bodies were shaking like chaff.

Sun Sancao, He Tietou, and Shi Murong struggled to find around in the crowd, and soon found An Lushan, looking at their father-in-law with a sad and angry expression, wanting to speak but unable to say it, and not daring to say it.

An Lushan's hatred, you don't grow fat, why are you stupid like a pig! Looking at Lao Tzu at this time, do you want your Lao Tzu to die! He glared at the three of them hatefully, and the three of them immediately shifted their eyes in a flash of lightning.

Gao Lishi said beside Li Longji: "Ah Lang, wait for me to ask them." ”

Li Longji nodded, Gao Lishi came to the front of the four of them, and asked loudly: "Bold thief, don't you honestly recruit in front of Your Majesty, do you want to destroy the Nine Clans?" ”

Kang Black Nu's trembling voice said: "The little slave is guilty, the little slave is guilty, please spare your majesty!" ”

"Then you don't confess honestly, and you will be charged with 1510 from the beginning!"

Kang Heinu sweated like rain, and he was sincerely afraid: "Back to Your Majesty, this is all done by the rebel Ashina Chengqing to instruct the little slave!" That traitor began plotting a rebellion more than four years ago......"

An Lushan nodded slightly in his heart, and secretly praised, or this godson is smart, and he pushed down Ashina Chengqing at once, but it's just strange, why do you say four years ago? Well, it must have been a casual remark.

“…… Ashina Chengqing attached himself to the king of Dongping and bribed the officials on behalf of the king of Dongping, so these officials said good things to the king of Dongping in the imperial court, and the dog thief of Ashina Chengqing was trusted by the king of Dongping......"
