Chapter 168: Ask for the people's life
Now that the reward has begun, Tuoba Tao cleaned up Fang Cai's bad mood.
Glancing at everyone, he said:
"Earlier, the hussar general Li Jun and the general of Gaoyang Wang Feiying made meritorious contributions in repelling Liu Song.
A few days ago, he repelled the Rouran invading soldiers, and even disregarded his own safety to block the general's arrows.
I have said that we should be rewarded for meritorious deeds. On the birthday of our ancestors, we will reward them together. ”
"Hussar General Li Jun listened to the seal." Tuoba Tao Road.
The hussar general Li Jun came out immediately, knelt respectfully in front of the emperor, and said respectfully: "The last general Li Jun is here." ”
"Hussar General Li Jun, with great military achievements, was named the king of Dunqiu." Tuoba Tao Road.
Li Jun was overjoyed, so excited that he burst into tears, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
Tuoba Tao looked at Li Shuang'er, groaned slightly, and said: "Since my brother has been crowned king, his sister Li Shuang'er has made meritorious contributions, and she is the lord of Dunqiu County." ”
Li Shuang'er was overjoyed when he saw that his brother was crowned king, and now that he was also named the county lord, he was even more happy to descend from the sky, and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Hussar general Li Jun and Tuoba Jun have always been friends, and the emperor rewarded Li Jun as king, not only Tuoba Yu and Lu Wang and others were nervous, but Tuoba Han and Yi Hun also changed their faces.
"Jun'er, come here." Tuoba Tao summoned Tuoba Tao again.
Tuoba Jun knelt respectfully in front of the imperial grandfather: "Imperial grandfather." ”
Tuoba Tao didn't have a reward for a while, but asked Lu Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department: "Lu Shangshu, you said a few days ago that you have basically found out, who chased and killed the assassin all the way, can the truth be revealed now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty," Lu Li, who had a clear appearance, came over, and said with a smile on her face: "King Gaoyang fought with Liu Song before, and the beloved concubine of Yin Xiaozu, the general of Peking University in Liu Song Town, fell in love with King Gaoyang at first sight, and admired him very much, and he did not hesitate to steal the defense map of Xuyi City for King Gaoyang.
After King Gaoyang got the map of Xuyi's city defense, he sneaked in at night, easily solved the city defense outpost, opened the city gate, and captured Xuyi almost without blood, and then took Fenzhou directly.
Yin Xiaozu, who abandoned Xuyi and retreated to Guangling, knew that it was his beloved concubine who betrayed him, so he killed his beloved concubine in a fit of anger, and vowed to hunt down and kill King Gaoyang.
I heard that I also bought off my general of Great Wei, as for which general of Great Wei, Weichen has not yet found out, and the clue has been broken. ”
Tuoba Tao was annoyed that Yin Xiaozu was chasing and killing his grandson, and laughed arrogantly.
"Since ancient times, soldiers have not been tired of deceit, and Jun'er only relies on his extraordinary heroic posture to capture the city without blood, which is really the peerless son of my Great Wei!"
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the guests at the banquet laughed happily.
Tuoba Tao smiled again:
"Jun'er, you hurt other people's concubines and lost their lives, and you always owe others.
My eldest grandson is too good, I should marry you as soon as possible, lest the women of the world think about you for a long time, and if you are not careful, you will harm other people's wives and concubines. ”
Everyone burst into laughter again, no matter how you say it, it is all caused by the handsome king of Gaoyang.
Gu Tingcheng lowered her eyes, although her chest did not have a heartbeat, she could feel the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of seven emotions and six desires, and at this moment, her chest was full of taste:
This is the virtue of the Devil of Tuoba Jun? deceived other people's concubines and caused them to lose their lives for him.
No wonder Yin Xiaozu, who wore a green hat, would chase him closely day and night.
"Grandpa Huang," Tuoba Jun glanced at Gu Qingcheng out of the corner of his eye.
Then he laughed and said:
"Jun'er still has to keep filial piety for her father, and it will take a year to marry a concubine. Besides, how can an ordinary woman be worthy of you, the eldest grandson of the world's unparalleled emperor. ”
"What kind of character does it take to be worthy of my extraordinary emperor's eldest grandson?" Tuoba Tao laughed.
"The princess of Jun'er must be the princess of a country, and she must have the appearance of a country and a city, so as to be worthy of your eldest grandson." Tuoba Jun smiled solemnly again.
He can't help but have a lot of affectionate expressions with Allure today, and the people behind the scenes are afraid that they can see that he likes Allure.
I have always wanted to protect her, but today's performance has undoubtedly pushed Allure to the blade of the people behind the scenes.
He had to say that to dispel the suspicions of those behind the scenes.
Although he and Allure have already worshiped heaven and earth, the identity of Allure at that time was after all the doll of his Eighth Emperor Uncle.
At this moment, if he said that he and Allure worshiped heaven and earth, it would only cause the thunderous anger of Tuoba Yu and the imperial grandfather, and it would undoubtedly be even more harmful to Allure.
can only wait for Allure and Tuoba Yu to retreat, bring the people behind the scenes to justice, and then announce their marriage to Allure to the world.
Tuoba Jun's words were like thunder, exploding in Gu Qingcheng's ears.
I just feel like a bolt from the blue!
The body is shaky.
Suddenly, the cold sharp blade slammed into her chest, and the chill of her bones surged towards Gu Qingcheng.
The chill was like a frozen tide, almost drowning Gu Qingcheng, and his chest was so cold that it hurt.
"You must be the princess of a country, and you must have the appearance of a country and a city?"
So, what is she?
What is he?!
Worship heaven and earth, life and life, the earth is barren, never leave and never give up, especially in the ears!
He didn't want himself!
The simple and hasty wedding before was just a joke!
Only the princess who captivates the country and the city is worthy of him King Gaoyang.
Just like the holy aunt of the Nine Heavens in the dream and Bai Wufang got married in front of Grandma Peach, swore an oath, but in an instant, they went to marry the princess of the emperor.
Her throat was fishy, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out!
She hurriedly covered her sleeves and swallowed the mouthful of blood in her mouth.
"A princess who has captivated the country and the city? Well, ambitious! Tuoba Tao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said happily, "A man's husband is to dare to love and hate, and dare to pursue what he loves!" ”
Tuoba Tao originally saw that Tuoba Jun and Gu Tingcheng were dancing together and flying bamboo kites together, for fear that Tuoba Jun would also like Gu Tingcheng and want to ask him for Gu Tingcheng.
It turns out that Jun'er's ambition is to be a princess who captivates the country and the city.
Tuoba Tao glanced at Gu Qingcheng as if inadvertently, but saw that she lowered her eyes slightly, her eyebrows were lightly raised, her sleeves were slightly hidden, and she replied a little shyly, which was even more intriguing.
Gu Qingcheng's eyelashes drooped, covering the waves in his eyes, trying his best to hide himself, afraid that he would lose his temper on the spot, but the place where his chest was filled by Tuoba Jun was a sharp pain like a cone:
It turned out that Tuoba kept saying that she was his woman, and in order to save his love flower Gu, she did not hesitate to promise herself.
They also had a ridiculously bizarre wedding!
It turned out that he didn't want to marry himself as a concubine, she just wanted to be his woman.
He King Gaoyang can have many women, and his lover the princess he really wants to marry is a princess who has captivated the country and the city.
Although he worshiped the heaven and earth hall with him, it was held behind his back after all, and he was with him without a name or a point, and he deserved it!
Even if it was just to save him!
It's just those ethereal dreams, his "life and life, the earth and the heavens, never abandon!" The oath fell firmly in his chest and filled himself to the brim.
She thought that she was his only one, his lover for the rest of his life.
She has no appearance of a country and a city, and she is not a princess of a country, how can she climb his Gaoyang King Feiying General.
At best, he was like the beloved concubine of Yin Xiaozu who died for him, who was disgusted and discarded by him.
It turned out that everything he said was just a casual lie.
The so-called life and life, those dreams that are both illusory and real, even if they have memories, are just the old things of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds thousands of years ago, occasionally taken out to dry and dry, when it is the seasoning of the romance of King Gaoyang, who will take it seriously.
That's it! The oath is just a man's temporary madness, and a fool's gaffe is an oath to be a madman.
Even if he is of the same heart as him and breathes with two bodies, it is just a creation to make people.
At this moment, she deeply understood the state of mind of the Holy Aunt when she saw Bai Wufang marrying Princess Nishang, and she jumped off Zhu Xiantai in despair.
The holy aunt was in pain, and jumped off Zhuxiantai in frustration, and the flowers and bones died; Fluttershy digs out his heart, skins and bones for him, and buries incense.
Maybe for the rest of her life, she couldn't get rid of the love of being hurt by that person, and she was bruised all over her body.
But in this life, she didn't want to be hurt by him again.
All the beauty and longing with him were just a dream.
I also gave him my body without regrets.
Could it be that that night, the so-called love flower Gu poison was a trap deliberately set by Tuoba Jun?
Such a sudden thought made Gu Tingcheng feel cold all over his body.
No, it won't! No, it won't!
She was immediately frightened by the thought of her.
Even if he doesn't marry himself, he can't think of him so dirty.
She only felt that one foot was deep and one foot shallow, her head was lightheaded, the world was spinning, and her chest was throbbing for a while!
"Jun'er, although the emperor's grandfather awarded you the title of the general of the first-class flying eagle, a few days ago, you led the troops to repel the Hulu massacre, and returned the six towns to peace. What reward do you want? Tuoba Tao asked lovingly.
This eldest grandson of the emperor, regardless of his personality and behavior, is almost the same as him, and he is simply his pride.
He has been crowned the king of Gaoyang, and he has been crowned the general of the flying eagle. If there is a reward, it will be the prince.
But the prince will become the target of public criticism, just like his father, the crown prince Tuoba Huang, who will not die well.
Tuoba Tao is now consciously still in good health, and there is still no time to recuperate.
Although he had the intention to cultivate Tuoba Huang and let him succeed to the throne, he didn't want him to follow in the footsteps of the crown prince Tuoba Huang.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has the rank of General of the Flying Eagle, which is already the highest honor for a soldier.
If you ask your grandson what reward he wants, does he want any reward from his grandson, and the emperor and grandfather agree? ”
Tuoba Jun had a wicked smile on his face.
Gu Qingcheng felt another pang in his heart, holding a glimmer of hope:
Tuoba Jun, the devil, will he want His Majesty to reward him as a reward?
Tuoba Yu was also worried, he had seen that Jun'er had been dancing with Allure before, would he also like Allure, and now he took the opportunity to ask his father to reward Allure to him?
Tuoba Yu's face sank, and his eyes stared at Tuoba Yu fiercely.
“…… As long as it's not too much, the imperial grandfather will be approved. Tuoba Tao stroked the upturned beard on his roof and smiled.
"Free slaves!" Tuoba said solemnly.
Gu Qingcheng was slightly disappointed in his heart, but then he was in awe of Tuoba Jun - in his heart, after all, he put the people first.
He had promised her that he would fight for those slaves.
He kept his word, and she felt guilty for the filthy thoughts she had just flashed.
Her chest didn't hurt that much.
Her heart was cold and hot, overlapping and tormenting.
That's it! If he can really free the slave as he begged, even if it is worth sacrificing her happiness.
This man, she is not wrong to love after all!
"Free slaves?" Tuoba Tao seemed to hear a joke.
The other ministers almost felt that King Gaoyang had made a big joke.
Tuoba Jun's face was solemn, and he was solemnly titled Tuoba Tao as His Majesty:
"Your Majesty, the so-called release of slaves does not mean the release of all slaves, and it is understandable to commit rebellion, commit adultery, or be punished or reduced to slavery.
Weichen only implored His Majesty to release all prisoners of war into slavery, treat them equally, become the people of Great Wei, and treat them equally.
The mighty power of the Great Wei has made all directions frightened, and the country should be governed by benevolence and virtue.
In addition, it was forbidden to ban the tournament in which slaves killed each other to survive, and it was forbidden to drive slaves into the arena and gamble with the lives of slaves for fun. ”
Tuoba Jun's move was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, the nobles, especially the courtiers of the Xianbei clan, were in an uproar.
Since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the people of the defeated country have always been slaves and slaves, and they have been distributed to the nobles and the imperial court to drive slavery.
Now Tuoba Jun wants to release prisoners of war and slaves, which will inevitably harm the interests of most nobles and the imperial court, especially the interests of the Xianbei people.
Tuoba Han, the representative of the Dongping King, has stood up to stop:
"Father, Jun'er's move is ridiculous, prisoners of war are slaves, and this is the case with the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty.
This is already the law of my Great Wei, how can it be abolished casually.
If the slaves are released and the labor force is reduced, it will inevitably affect the interests of the nobles, which will cause turmoil and instability in the country! ”
"Yes, Jun'er, the surrender of prisoners of war to slavery was determined by the ancestors to open the country, how can it be changed casually?" Tuoba Tao shook his head uncommisingly.
Raise his hand and signal Tuoba to speak.
Then he continued: "The imperial grandfather knows that you are fierce to the enemy, but you are kind-hearted in private, but it is not child's play to depose prisoners of war and surrender slaves. Think of some other rewards. ”
Tuoba Jun is hard-hearted as long as he releases the slave and talks eloquently:
"Grandpa Huang, the law is set by people, but it also has to be changed according to the situation.
At the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, the surrounding countries refused to accept the country, and the people were slaves, so as to establish the prestige of the country, which is understandable.
Now I am in the Great Wei and in the north. In time, it can also unify Liu Song, subdue Rouran, and subdue the surrounding barbarians.
Over the years, the so-called untouchables have been humiliated and whipped, and the people have not returned.
Even if you seize the territory and land, but you don't capture the hearts of the people, how can you win?
If we can treat everyone equally and make the people of the world return to their hearts, we can not only strengthen the national strength, but also promote our great Wei Rende. ”
Tuoba Jun's unique insights really made Tuoba Tao's heart pound, and he looked at this grandson even more differently.
However, slavery has been around for a long time, and it is not possible to pass it all at once, and there are still many Xianbei nobles eyeing it.
Tuoba Tao pondered.
King Changshan, who represented the aristocracy, also strongly objected:
"Your Majesty, the release of slaves not only greatly harms the interests of the noble lords and generals, but also greatly damages the imperial court.
There are hundreds of thousands of official slaves in the imperial court alone. After freeing these slaves, the court also suffered heavy losses! ”
"Yes, this must not be done!" Dugu Loyalty also objected.
Other Xianbei nobles also stood up and, together with Tuoba Han, resolutely opposed Tuoba Han's proposal to depose and reduce slaves.
"Jun'er, there is no need to mention the matter of releasing slaves." Tuoba Tao said without a beak, "Since you don't want other rewards, get up." ”
Tuoba saw that he couldn't convince the imperial grandfather at once, so he had to get up.
This is, Tuoba Yu walked in front of the emperor......
Tuoba Tao saw Tuoba Yu walking in front of him, and faintly felt in his heart what Tuoba Yu was for.
His face sank involuntarily.
Tuoba Yu also frowned, thinking that Tuoba Yu walked in front of the imperial grandfather for the sake of Gu Qingcheng.
Sure enough, Tuoba Yu knelt in front of Tuoba Tao and pleaded with the emperor:
"Father, Gu Qingcheng is the doll that the mother concubine set for Yu'er more than ten years ago.
A few days ago, the mother concubine promised that as long as Gu Tingcheng prepared the birthday banquet of the ancestor well and satisfied the ancestor, she would officially and publicly recognize Gu Tingcheng as the future princess of her son.
With the permission of his father, he asked Gu Tingcheng to preside over the birthday banquet of his ancestors.
Now the birthday of the ancestor is very successful, and everyone is happy. Gu Tingcheng performed well, and his father also gave him the title of the lord of Anping. The royal family made a promise and asked his father to fulfill his promise that day. ”
Tuoba Yu's sudden request, although it was expected, also caught Tuoba off guard.
He originally wanted to put the matter of Gu Tingcheng being Yu'er's doll on the ground, and then slowly eliminated it.
It was logical to include Gu Tingcheng in the harem, but he didn't expect Yu Er to mention it in front of everyone at this moment.
His fists were clenched together and rubbed, and his heart was turbulent, and he was really reluctant to make this will.
However, after all, it was Yu'er's baby parent, and she also promised to admit her identity......
