Chapter 364: King Miao is not a king

Peng Shan continued, "Xiao Gongzi is polite, when Gongzi returns to the Central Plains again, he passes through Xizhou, and he must go to Tusi Mansion to live for a while, and Xiao Wang will definitely fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and he has to borrow flowers to offer Buddha here today."

As he spoke, he toasted Xiao Yao again.

Xiao Yao couldn't refuse, so he accompanied Peng Shan to have another drink.

Not to mention that Peng Shan has never had any ill will towards himself, but he has done a lot of things outside in the name of Peng Wangfu, especially the incident of beating Kang Qincha's son on the street, which must have brought a lot of trouble to Peng Wangfu.

Hehe, this glass of wine should be regarded as a thank you to him Peng Wangfu for carrying the black pot for himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao suddenly felt that if he had the opportunity to help this Peng Shan in the future, he should give him a favor. can be regarded as making up for his debt to Peng Wangfu, after all, there is no shortage of treasures from Peng Wangfu.

I don't know which little princess of Qiankun Palace this guy's fiancée is, but except for Ling Xiaoyou, I don't know other women in Qiankun Palace anymore.

It's just that this Qiankun Palace has always been in the North Pole, although it is also a Han region, but few people set foot in the Central Plains, how can they meet the people of this Peng Palace?

Xiao Yao thought in his heart, Peng Shan began to walk towards King Miao to toast, which was also due etiquette. After all, King Miao is nominally the largest Tusi in Miao Jiang, and he is also the orthodox descendant of the Witch King.

It's just that this Peng Shan walked directly onto the platform at the top of the hall where King Miao was.

Xiao Yao looked at Peng Shan and seemed to be a little drunk, walked up to the steps where Miao Wang was in a daze in the eyes of everyone, and then picked up the wine glass in front of Miao Wang's table, first filled Miao Wang's wine glass, and then filled his own wine glass. He said with some shaking, "Uncle Wang, my little nephew toasts you." ”

After saying that, he raised his wine glass and drank it all.

King Miao was a little surprised by Peng Shan's move, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Nephew Xian is polite." "It's all in one go.

Everyone present clearly knew that at this time, Peng Shan walked up the steps where King Miao was, and it was by no means as simple as a simple toast.

This is already a great trespass. After all, he is still only a son of Tusi, and King Miao is still nominally the head of the four major toasts, and this is the nominal territory of King Miao.

Of course, everyone will not worry that this little prince of the Peng family will assassinate the king of Miao, their Peng toast is hereditary, but the king of Miao is not hereditary, but the tribe of the four seedlings of black, white and red flowers takes turns to send people to take charge, and the symbolism is greater than power. So no one will do anything thankless, or even bring about their own destruction.

But Peng Shan's move was already a great disrespect to King Miao in the eyes of other Tusi and clansmen of the Miao people.

These toasters and tea merchants were all dressed in Miao clothes, and they were obviously all Miao people.

Peng Shan not only did not restrain himself, nor did he retreat from the steps, but suddenly turned around and said to the toasts of the various small tribes in the audience and the Phoenix tea merchants who came to the dinner.

"You must already know that the imperial court's envoy has arrived in our Miao Jiang, and this Kang Qincha is said to be the prime minister's protégé, and he is very proud in the court. Therefore, as soon as we entered our Miao Xinjiang, we ordered the Tusi from all over the country to meet along the way, and received the first qiē matter of the Qin Mission. ”

Peng Shan's voice was very loud, and when he said this, he looked at King Miao. King Miao hadn't seen this Kang Qincha before, and this was known to everyone.

I only heard Na Pengshan continue, "Lord Qincha inspected Miao Jiang by the emperor's order, and naturally patrolled the hunt on behalf of the sky, but after entering my Miao Jiang, he did not spread the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, but hyped up the idea of changing the land and returning to the stream, abolishing the system of Miao people governing Miao Jiang, and sending officials from the imperial court to manage dozens of counties and counties in the four provinces of Miao Jiang, I don't know if King Miao can know?" ”

Peng Shan's last sentence asked King Miao, but this sentence detonated the attention of the audience, even Xiao Yao didn't expect Peng Shan to ask so directly, and it was in such a public occasion.

King Miao obviously didn't expect Peng Shan to climb the steps to ask himself about this matter, this is an extremely sensitive topic, and it is not easy to answer.

If King Miao said that he didn't know, then it was obviously a lie, and he avoided it in public on such an important issue, so that spreading it would have a great impact on King Miao's reputation. Especially those who are relatively small in the village will be extremely disappointed in Miao Wang.

But if King Miao said that he knew about it, or that he had heard about it, then Peng Shan would inevitably ask King Miao about his attitude on this issue.

Miao Xinjiang is different from the mainland, it has always been Miao autonomy, and most of them are hereditary Tusi system, although the larger Tusi have to go through the canonization of the imperial court, pay a certain amount of tribute and taxes to the imperial court every year, and then send a part of the army to participate in the border guard. However, these local Tusi are self-reliant in terms of economy, official appointment and dismissal, taxation and military, and do not need the consent of the imperial court, and are basically a country within a state.

The Miao people live scattered, and there are no less than dozens of Tusi in the four provinces of Miao Xinjiang who have been canonized by the imperial court, and there are more smaller tribal leaders who will also proclaim themselves Tusi.

And King Miao is only a relatively large tribal alliance elected by these tribes, the nominal leader, so King Miao's answer to this question is even more sensitive.

Although there are also small tribes and Tusi in the other three Tusi clans, the three Tusi have always been hereditary, and their power and status are much more stable, and the benefits they can get from this Tusi system will be much more.

But King Miao was elected by the four seedlings of black, white and red flowers, but he was the nominal leader of the four major toasts. Originally, King Miao's power was limited, but on this issue, it was King Miao who represented Miao Jiang. Therefore, this problem, for King Miao, is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

In front of the public, the old fox was defeated by the little fox.

Peng Shan's question directly pushed King Miao to the tip of the wind. And the small toasts below are also anxious to know the attitude of King Miao, after all, if they change the land and return to the stream, they will first revoke these toasts, and they will also send some Han officials to manage Miao Jiang, so it is equivalent to confiscating the family property of the small toasts below.

"Kang Qincha has said this, and this king has heard a little."

After a while, King Miao spoke slowly.

As soon as King Miao spoke, the entire hall immediately fell silent, and everyone was listening to King Miao's next speech. The vital interests of most of those present are at stake.

"Kang Qincha only said that the ministers of the court mentioned this, saying that it is to better enable the people of all ethnic groups in Miao Xinjiang to learn farming and help the people of all ethnic groups to have enough food and clothing as soon as possible, so it is necessary to build a method of changing the land and returning it to the stream, and popularize the method of farming." King Miao spoke very slowly, almost word for word.

"That's why the imperial court sent Master Kang to visit my Miao Xinjiang on the spot this time, and take a look at everyone's opinions on changing the land and returning to the river and the actual situation of our Miao Jiang ethnic groups." King Miao said while constantly looking at everyone in the audience with his eyes.

"The final decision of the imperial court has not yet been decided, and the four major toasts and the witch temple have not yet made a final statement, but this king can make a statement here first. King Miao is not a king, but the leader elected by our four major seedlings, the attitude of each of the four Miao toasts is the attitude of this king, and the attitude of the four major toasts is the attitude of my Miao Jiang. ”

King Miao suddenly stood up and said impassionedly to the audience.

The people in the hall pondered the deep meaning of King Miao's words, Xiao Yao admired this Peng Shan for throwing this most sensitive question to King Miao on such an occasion, and even admired King Miao's ingenious answer.

King Miao did not openly say that he opposed the imperial court, nor did he say that he supported the reform of the land, let alone whether he would resist the change of land and return to the stream. But the sentence "King Miao is not the king" made every little toast below feel that King Miao was standing with him.

The meaning of King Miao is very clear, that is, what everyone means is the meaning of King Miao, and the common meaning of the four major toasts is the meaning of Miao Jiang. It is vaguely explained that no Tusi can represent Miao Jiang alone.

These words not only put himself out of the matter and clear his responsibility, but also skillfully pulled the other three major toasts in.

King Miao is taking the common ideas of various Tusi in his territory as his own ideas, so what about the other Tusi who have always been hereditary, do they have to agree to the change of land and return to the flow of the imperial court? That would be tantamount to betraying the entire Miao Territory.

The most important thing is that King Miao never said that he was against changing the land and returning to the stream, but that sentence Miao Wang Feiwang had already clearly expressed his attitude, and directly threw the hot potato back to Peng Shan.

This time, it was Peng Shan's turn to make a statement on behalf of Peng's Tusi Mansion.

Everyone thought that Peng Shan was embarrassed to raise this question, and King Miao was fighting back at this time, asking Peng Shan about the attitude of Peng Wangfu.

But King Miao suddenly stopped, and continued.

"Dozens of counties and counties in the four provinces of Miaojiang, although according to the will of the imperial court, the free system is divided and managed, but Miaojiang has always been the land left by our ancestors, and the Miao people will never dare to forget. The ancestors moved all the way south, and the road was blue, and they didn't dare to forget, the ancestors went all the way to have a mountain and a river in Miaojiang today, and I didn't dare to forget it as the king of Miao. ”

King Miao did not continue, but looked at Peng Shan, and then raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone in the hall, "Let's drink this cup together, may the great god of Chiyou bless my children in Miaojiang, and may the ancestors of all generations bless my land in Miaojiang." ”

After speaking, King Miao took the lead in drinking it all, and then left the hall with the support of the waiter.

In fact, when Peng Shan threw this difficult question to King Miao, everyone in the palace heard such a hot question, and the wine was almost sober, and now when they heard King Miao answer, they all thought about it.

After King Miao left, everyone got up and left. Wu'an and Panli were also gone, and Na Pengshan also left the main hall with the support of the attendants.

The dinner was over, and immediately a waiter led Xiao Yao and the three of them back to their bamboo building to rest.

In fact, on this issue, Xiao Yao is not good at expressing his views on Hu Yiyi. First of all, his identity is Han people, although Xiao Yao feels that the promotion of agricultural technology can definitely improve the living standards of the people of Miaojiang, but the current society is still a feudal imperial system, officials are corrupt, and landlords are exploited layer by layer, which is inevitable.

Since coming to this world, Xiao Yao has not seen a few honest officials, under this social system, what is the result of the Han people's rule over the Miao people, it is obvious, you can think of it with your ass.

In the end, it could only be the government that forced the people to rebel, causing the Miaojiang riots.
