Chapter 171: Release the slave and stop the fight

Tuoba Jun looked at Gu Qingcheng with pity and love, and said in his heart: "My lady, how many surprises are there that I haven't discovered yet?" ”

Tuoba Yu looked at Tuoba Yu coldly, his eyes were like knives, that kind of cold, revealing the cold of the bones.

"Allure, you have made another miraculous achievement. Say, "What reward do you want?" Tuoba Tao couldn't wait to immediately put Gu Qingcheng in the harem.

Although Gu Tingcheng has officially announced his retirement from the king of Nan'an, the ancestor decreed that no one can force Gu Tingcheng.

Even if he is the emperor, how can he reverse this situation?

Gu Qingcheng knelt in front of Tuoba Tao and said with a solemn expression:

"Your Majesty's golden words, does Allure have any requests, and Your Majesty will agree?"

"Yes, I am the Son of Heaven, I am a man of heaven, and I am captivating but it doesn't hurt to say it." Tuoba Tao doted.

Tuoba Jun looked at Gu Qingcheng happily, as if he knew what she wanted in her heart.

Sure enough, I saw Gu Qingcheng respectfully arching his hand and saying:

"Release the slaves, stop the fight!"

Gu Tingcheng's voice was calm and firm.

Just now, Tuoba Jun only mentioned the release of slaves, which was already a joke, and now this little woman not only wants to release slaves, but also stops fighting.

Isn't that a big joke!

Gu Tingcheng's words not only stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, but also caused the courtiers to laugh loudly, and there were many discussions:

"It's already a big joke to release slaves, and she still wants to stop fighting, who does she think she is?"

"What a girl who doesn't know the height of the sky!"

"Such a demon girl who disregards the government of the court, Your Majesty, please expel her from the court immediately!"

"Yes, it is really bold to dare to discuss the government without permission!"

Tuoba Tao glanced at the ministers and shouted, "Enough! What enchantresses? Who dares to say nothing to the county lord of Anping, don't blame me for being unkind to him! ”

The ministers were silent.

Although Tuoba Tao drank the ministers, he also felt that he might have heard it wrong.

Then he asked Gu Tingcheng with a slightly unnatural smile: "Release the slave, stop fighting?" ”

Gu Tingcheng nodded and continued:

"Your Majesty, Allure agrees with the request of King Gaoyang just now, and asks Your Majesty to abolish part of the slavery system, reduce the prisoners of war to the people, treat them equally, and let them become the people of Great Wei."

Tuoba Han and other Xianbei nobles listened to Gu Qingcheng's words, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly.

Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, secretly sweating for Gu Qingcheng.

"Allure, abolishing some slaves, it is a matter of the law of the Great Wei, this is a state matter," Tuoba Tao refused Gu Tingcheng as tactfully as possible, "Although you are already the county lord of Anping, but the state affairs, the county lord can't participate casually, Allure still wants other rewards." ”

"Your Majesty just said, the Son of Heaven is full of words, Chrysostom and Yuyan, why is it that in an instant, he is untrustworthy?" Gu Chenghao looked directly at Tuoba Tao without flinching.

Gu Tingcheng dared to openly question the emperor's integrity, which was undoubtedly a great rebellion, pampered and arrogant.

The people who admired Gu Qingcheng naturally sweated for her, and felt that she had died a pity.

But the people who hated her sneered at the corners of their mouths, hoping that His Majesty would immediately put her to death!

Even Tuoba Jun couldn't help frowning slightly, his fists clenched, and his face was nervous.

"Allure, I am not a person who has no words, but this is related to the law of the Great Wei, how can it be changed at will, it must be demonstrated by the ministers before it can be decided." Tuoba Tao didn't care about Gu Qingcheng's questioning, and still smiled dotingly.

Everyone felt that Gu Tingcheng was lucky, but Gu Tingcheng didn't know what to do.

"Allure has always thought that His Majesty is eloquent, wise and decisive, sweeping the unification of ten thousand, leveling Qinlong, Jian Liaohai, Dangheyuan, Nanyi Hedan, North Creeping Traces, Langding Four Tables, and unifying Northern Xinjiang. A generation of heroes, Wen Tao Wu strategy, not lost to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Didn't expect ......"

Gu Qingcheng stood up, but stood with his hands in his hands, and didn't say any more, the corners of his mouth pulled up a disdainful sneer.

The implication is not only disappointment but also ridicule.

Although Gu Qingcheng's words were sarcastic, they were also flattering.

Tuoba Tao said in his heart: It turns out that in the eyes of Allure, his evaluation is so high, it can be compared to Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

"Allure, why don't you go on?" Tuoba Tao asked with a little disappointment.

"Your Majesty's words don't count, and if you talk about it, you're afraid of losing your head, do you dare to continue to speak?" Gu Qingcheng pouted, he was a little childish.

"Hehehe, you can speak freely, and I forgive you for your innocence." Tuoba Tao smiled, his eyes full of appreciation.

With His Majesty's permission, Gu Qingcheng's sneering face was serious, unhurried, and eloquent:

"Free slaves. As King Gaoyang played, it was just to release the slaves and let them become the people of Great Wei.

Those who commit rebellion and adultery are punished or enslaved by sin, and this is the law, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the defeated country and the people became slaves, and the people themselves were sad and lamentable, and the Great Wei got the good people, but mistakenly took Baoyu as a stubborn stone, as if buying a pearl and returning the pearl, which is really regrettable, and this is a great loss for the Great Wei.

There is nothing wrong with subjugating the people, let alone sin, they are only wrong with a failed king, born in a country that is not strong enough.

The reason why the Qin State in the late Warring States period was able to rise was that its national strength became stronger and stronger than the other six countries, and it stood out and unified the world.

Because the Qin State not only took the number of heads of the enemy destroyed in battle as a combat achievement, the Qin people were brave and unstoppable.

After the Qin state acquired the new territory, it would also release the prisoners of war as commoners and move to the new territory. All prisoners of war were treated equally and became subjects of the Qin state.

In this way, it is natural that the Qin State gradually became stronger and stronger, became more and more courageous, and set foot on the six countries and dominate the world.

The girl once broke up a king character with an uncle from the mountain, and the uncle knew how to reach the will of heaven, and the geography was in line with the human nature, and the king was also. Indispensable. If you lose the support of the people and have no foundation, who will you be the king?

Therefore, the more the people are, the better, so that the country can be rich and strong.

Stopping the war does not mean that the Great Wei does not resist the enemy's invasion, and if there is no unification in the world, there will inevitably be wars and disputes.

What Allure said was to stop the spear in the hearts of slaves.

Slavery binds people not only to their bodies, but also to their souls and dignity.

Freedom and dignity were lost at the same time, and what Great Wei got was only cheap labor, but in exchange for the anger and resentment of the heavens, and bitter hatred.

There are as many enemies as there are slaves.

Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, why not just live in the spear in the hearts of the people, turn the enemy into the people, and the people will return to their hearts for the use of the Great Wei.

Therefore, the release of slaves and the cessation of war is a great plan for the country to go far, to maintain long-term peace and stability, and to make the country rich and strong. ”

"The great plan of a rich country and a strong country?" Tuoba Tao bowed slightly, the more he listened, the more interested he became, and his eyes became brighter when he looked at Allure.

Gu Tingcheng nodded and continued:

"For decades, the Great Wei Dynasty has fought in the south and the north, fighting horses and horses, working the people and losing money, but it only occupies half of the north.

If there are three points today, Liu Song has been fighting repeatedly, and he has returned one after another.

Dawei is sandwiched between the north and the south, lying on the left and right, and there are tigers and wolves eyeing each other.

The three armies of the Western Chu overlord bravely crowned the three armies, and there was even more aristocratic blood, which can be said to be the best time and place, but there was a lack of people. He was brave, but he killed too much and was too brutal.

And Liu Bang, a disciple of the market, does not have the right time and place, but he enjoys people alone, if it is about strength, Yu Xiang Yu is vulnerable.

But he can win the hearts of the people, love the people like a son, and be loved everywhere he goes.

The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people.

Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. If you help more, the world will follow it.

Govern the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. At the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, prisoners of war were used as slaves, and it was not impossible to establish authority in this way.

Now that the Great Wei is in the north, if it continues like this, it will still be enslaved by the people, and the prisoners of war will be humiliated, which will only make all the Yi foreign nations desperately resist.

They died fighting for the country, and they could also enjoy honor, becoming prisoners of war of the Great Wei Dynasty, but life was worse than death.

In this way, even if they can surrender sincerely, they still fight to the death and resist stubbornly.

In fact, the common people don't care who is the emperor and what banner is on the land, as long as they live with dignity, have a side of water and soil, and live and work in peace and contentment.

Where the iron hooves of the Great Wei go, if they are both benevolent and powerful, how can they not be convinced, surrender to sincerity in all directions, and bow their heads to the ministers.

The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. The so-called soldiers who surrender without a fight must first win the hearts and minds of the people. When the people's hearts are gathered, the national strength will naturally be strong.

Just like the rise of Great Qin at the beginning.

If the Great Wei is a big country, the people will be treated equally, regarded as the same people, and treat each other with sincerity.

The four sides praise, the eight yi admire, the surrender to the heart, the national strength greatly increased, is it comparable to the cheap slave.

When Allure went out with his master to see a doctor, he saw a large amount of ownerless wasteland discarded and uncultivated, which was really a pity.

If the slaves and those who were exiled and homeless became the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, they distributed the fields and cultivated grain.

It not only increased the labor force, increased people's enthusiasm for production, but also increased taxes and filled the treasury.

Throughout the ages, the world has been unified, and under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. All the people in the world, regardless of whether they are high or low, are all the people of the Great Wei.

Great Wei Rende is widely known, the Quartet submits, and the people want it.

Take what the world is doing and attack the side of relatives. Isn't the reunification of the north and the south just around the corner? ”

Gu Tingcheng's voice was subdued, unhurried, and eloquent, shocking.

In the court where men are in charge, she is like the sun, moon and stars in the lost world, dazzling, firm and calm, and immovable.

Da Situ Cui Hao, Da Sima Gao Yun, and Lu Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also nodded appreciatively.

Tuoba Jun's eyes looking at Allure are as bright as stars.

Tuoba Yu is also getting more and more surprised.

Only those whose interests were damaged by Tuoba Han and King Changshan were angry one by one, and they glared angrily.

"Good! You can say that again! You can say that again! Sure enough, it is a great plan for the country! Tuoba couldn't help but high-five.

The ministers saw that Tuoba Tao was unusual, and they all looked at each other.

Tuoba Tao continued:

"A good slave is for the people, the country is strong, all the people are in the heart, and the north and the south are unified, which is just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, the county lord of Anping not only has excellent dancing skills, but also can rejuvenate his hands, and he is also talented.

I immediately issued an order, the quasi-Gaoyang King and the county lord of Anping requested, on the same day to abolish the decree of surrendering the people to slavery, from now on all the people are the people of the Great Wei, treat them equally, and strengthen the army and the country for my Great Wei! ”

The king of Gaoyang, Tuoba Jun, and the head of Anping County, Patron Chengcheng, immediately knelt in front of Tuoba Tao and thanked His Majesty for his kindness on behalf of the people.

Great Situ Cui Hao and Great Sima Gao Yun immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Some Han ministers who followed Cui Hao and Gao Yun also chimed in.

And more Xianbei nobles, princes, ministers, and ministers whose interests were damaged, exploded the pot and knelt down one by one, trying to turn the tide.

"Your Majesty, no......"

"Your Majesty, this is determined by the ancestors, and it cannot be abolished easily......"

"Your Majesty, this is a national policy, you have to think about it carefully......"

Tuoba Han also jumped out and said unconvinced:

"Father, how to treat everyone equally, those untouchables were originally free labor for the court and nobles.

Wouldn't this abolition of slaves, with the loss of a million free laborers at once, harm the interests of the court and the aristocracy? Turmoil is inevitable! ”

King Changshan also played impassionedly:

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the request of the King of Dongping, and the people have been slaves for a long time, and they have always been rewarded to nobles and generals, and most of them are reserved for the use of the imperial court.

Now that the slaves are freed, the interests of the nobles and generals have suffered greatly at once, and the people will inevitably be panicked, causing turmoil, and the Great Wei will be in danger.

Your Majesty, don't listen to Gu Qingcheng's words and release the slave rashly, she is a demon to confuse the public! ”

Generals and nobles such as Yihun, Lu Wang, Dugu Zhongzhong, and An Guogong naturally seconded the king of Dongping and insisted on opposing the release of slaves.

The DPRK and China were divided into two factions at once, and the opposition accounted for more than half of them.

Tuoba Jun stood up and said awe-inspiringly:

"Second Emperor Uncle filtered. Reducing people to slavery is inherently unfair, a form of exploitation, and an expedient measure.

The court and the aristocracy have exploited labor for so many years, and to this day, it is enough!

If the court and nobles were short of labor, they could ask them to do things again, but they only had to pay a salary and respect the people of the Great Wei.

I believe that they will become the people of Dawei, they will be convinced, and they will get twice the result with half the effort.

The aristocracy and the imperial court seem to have a slight loss in the short term, but in the long run, if the Great Wei can make the four Yi surrender, the people will return, the national strength will be strong, and the world will be unified, but there will be no loss at all! ”

"Jun'er thinks that the slavery of the people is for injustice and exploitation? The implication is that Jun'er is questioning the tyranny of our Xianbei ancestors, is it a ruin? "Tuoba Han and Tuoba Han are-for-tat.

"Uncle Sanhuang, don't distort Jun'er's meaning." Tuoba held back his anger.

"If you question the decision of your ancestors, you are a great rebellion!" Tuoba Han said aggressively and sharply.

Gao Yun bowed his hand to Tuoba Han and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Dongping, is there any suspicion of taking words out of context?" ”

"What Jun'er just said, the ministers are all visible, and this king has not wronged him!" Tuoba Han said fiercely.

Gao Yun said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not mean to slander the ancestors of Xianbei when he sees King Gaoyang, but only analyzes the pros and cons of reducing the people to slavery all along. ”

"Father, surrender the people to slavery, this is the foundation of my Great Wei Dynasty for a hundred years, and it must not be abolished!" Tuoba Han was furious and wanted to fight to the end.

The Xianbei nobles were represented by Helan Jiuzhen, the king of Changshan, and played:

"Your Majesty, please think twice, the people have been slaves for a long time, so the Great Wei has been able to become strong and dominate the north, this law must not be abolished!"

The ministers were arguing, and the Taiji Hall was in an uproar.

Tuoba Tao categorically shouted at this time: "Enough, I have made up my mind, abolish the surrender of the people as slaves, from now on, the surrender of the people will be the official subjects of my Great Wei, no need to discuss it!" ”

The emperor was majestic, and every word of his words was loud, and the ministers and nobles who disagreed with him saw that Tuoba Tao's holy will had been decided, and they were powerless to return to the sky, one by one, like fossils, they could only stare at Gu Qingcheng fiercely.

They all gritted their teeth and secretly scolded Gu Qingcheng for being a demon girl!

Tuoba Tao looked at Gu Qingcheng again, and his tone turned mild:

"Allure, you just said that you want to distribute land to the former slaves, the new people and the exiles?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Gu Qingcheng said.

"How is it distributed?" Tuoba Tao asked again.

Gu Tingcheng told again:

"Your Majesty may issue an edict to unify all land and wasteland, and then redistribute it equally, and grant it to all the people of Great Wei according to their population in the name of the imperial court.

The new people, the exiles who had lost their land, and the tenants who were dependent on the powerful and powerful, all became the people of the imperial court.

With their own land, they will be grateful for the kindness of the imperial court, cultivate diligently, pay taxes on time, and benefit the imperial treasury without harm. ”

Tuoba Tao smiled and nodded in praise:

"Okay, Lord Anping, I didn't expect you, as a woman, to have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth.

is not only smart and wise, but also sympathetic to the people, pure hearted, and can be an example for women in the world.

At the request of the lord of Anping, I released the slaves and issued the uniform land system. ”

Tuoba Tao heard Tuoba Tao praise Gu Qingcheng so much, and he was extremely happy in his heart, he can be called a model for women in the world, generally referring to the queen's mother.

The emperor's grandfather almost didn't boast that Allure was the mother of the world.

However, looking at the emperor's grandfather's attitude towards Allure, he not only likes it, but also wants to win.

He must not let Grandpa Huang's thoughts become a reality!

Tuoba Yu was even more happy, and Gu Qingcheng's series of actions were impressive.

Although she broke off her engagement with herself, he loved her, could still pursue her, and was determined to achieve her.

Everything about her is with herself.

He didn't want to intervene more about the slave release incident, no matter what, he was honored to be praised by Allure.

But his father praised him as a female example, and he loved Allure in every way, did his father really think anything about Allure?

Tuoba Han didn't dare to underestimate Gu Tingcheng even more, he already regarded Gu Tingcheng and the villains who broke into the palace to save the slave girl, burned down his ** palace, and beat him as the same party, and he wanted to kill them all.

Now that I hear my father's praise for Gu Tingcheng, I feel that my father's spoiling of Gu Tingcheng is unprecedented.

How to use Gu Qingcheng to become the fuse of the split between his father and Tuoba Yutuoba.

"Your Majesty," Tuoba said solemnly, "The powerful families in the north mostly live together, set up dock walls to protect themselves, and are self-sufficient.

After the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, I appointed the lord of the dock as the suzerain and acted as the power of the local government.

However, this so-called suzerain's supervision and protection system, the phenomenon of concealment of household registration is very serious.

When the imperial court collects household surveys, it can only be based on the household registration register, but in fact, there are often thirty or fifty households in one household, and thousands of people are one household.

The current Jiupin Mixed Farming Method of the Great Wei Dynasty puts a single household of homesteaders on an equal footing with this kind of suzerain-headed household, which actually has a large number of shady people.

For a long time, it has long caused the uneven amount and severity of the imperial court's conscription, which has greatly affected the financial revenue of the state treasury.

Please Your Majesty issue a decree to incorporate all the powerful and hidden working population into the imperial court household register.

In this way, it not only increased the number of households in the imperial court, but also restrained the powerful forces, and made the people of the Great Wei Dynasty treat them equally and fairly. ”

The devil Tuoba Tuoba in Gu Qingcheng's eyes at this moment has no half ruffian and gangsterism, only a heroic righteousness and the domineering spirit of a generation of heroes.

I can't help but praise it in my heart:

"It turns out that the devil looks tough and ruthless, but in fact he is a good person who cares about the world.

I only hope that he and his princess can take good care of the common people in the future, and since then they have broken off their relationship. ”

Tuoba Tao pondered for a moment, nodded approvingly and looked at him, the imperial grandson, who was not only brave and intelligent, but also superior to his princes.

So he was loyal to Cui Hao, Gao Yun and Dugu:

"Da Situ, Da Sima, Da Sikong, just follow what King Gaoyang plays, and start to do it."

"We're in the ......"

Da Situ Cui Hao, Da Sima Gao Yun, and Da Sikong Dugu are loyal to the command.

"Tobe Shangshu." Tuoba Tao shouted again.

"Wechen is here." Hubu Shangshu Lu Wang also stood up respectfully.

"From tomorrow, an official document will be issued, so that all slaves from all over the country will go to the government to receive the documents for the release of slaves, and officially register them in the register, so that they can become the people of Dawei." Tuoba Tao Road.

"No, Your Majesty." Lu Wang's helpless command.

He is also the loser of the interests of this freed slave, so he is naturally unwilling!

"Your Majesty," Gu Qingcheng said again at this time, "Before, King Gaoyang requested that the fighting arena be closed and that slaves were no longer allowed to fight in the fighting ring, can Your Majesty also grant permission?" ”

Those Xianbei nobles or ministers who raised slaves glared at Gu Qingcheng fiercely, eager to eat her alive.

Tuoba Tao groaned slightly, and said to Gu Qingcheng:

"The release of slaves does increase the number of people and taxes for the Great Wei, which is a good thing for the country and the people.

But people are divided into high and low, and slaves have their own destiny to become slaves.

The world is the law of the jungle, the fighting arena seems to be cruel, but it can stimulate people's fighting spirit, knowing that if the skills are not as good as others, there is only a dead end, and it also makes the people of Pingcheng have more entertainment. This does not have to be banned. ”

When Gu Qingcheng wanted to say more, Tuoba Jun glanced at her quietly and motioned him to stop talking.

And Tuoba Tao then got up again and said, "Okay, all of you are scattered!" ”

The ministers whose interests were damaged glared at Gu Qingcheng fiercely before they left in a huff.

Tuoba Jun glanced at Gu Qingcheng, wanting her to accept it when she saw it.

It is not easy for the imperial grandfather to agree to release the slaves.

If you close down the fighting arena immediately, it will really cause a counterattack from all the Xianbei clans.
