Chapter 399: The Xiao Family Tree

With a dull stick, Ke Zifan and Yan Song were knocked unconscious. Ma Dan, it turns out that Xiao Feng has been around for a long time, and the trap is here!

Everyone patronized and chased after him behind his ass, chasing after Zhan Feiyun for committing a crime, but he had already secretly laid down the chess piece of atonement for his sins!

Nonrecognition? Don't be funny, Zhan Feiyun did not hesitate to break into the edict prison in order to detoxify Xiao Mansion, do you dare to say that there is no credit for him in this matter? No fool would agree to it!

Ke Zifan said carefully: "But Zhan Feiyun's crime should be heavier than Niu San's!" Even if you atone for your sins, you can't redeem it! ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "It's all capital crimes, it's all beheading, and it's not enough to reach the point of beheading." Of course, if Zhan Feiyun resists the decree and kidnaps Niu San, then he will really have to be beheaded.

But everyone had already recognized it just now, Niu San took the initiative, and Zhan Feiyun did not hijack him. So both of them are guilty of beheading, what's the difference?

Could it be that the beheading of Niu San's rape and killing of a woman from a good family is lighter than the beheading of Zhan Feiyun who forcibly broke into the edict? Or is Zhan Feiyun going to be beheaded twice? ”

Ke Zifan stopped talking, Miao Jiang would not give up Niu San, because Niu San is nominally the godson of Da Tusi, but in fact, he is the illegitimate son of Da Tusi and a Han girl.

Zhan Feiyun is just a head catcher in the Criminal Department, even if it is to fight Xiao Feng, it is really not worth it at the cost of Niu San. So he had no choice but to give up.

Yan Song's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't understand no matter what, why did Zhan Feiyun, who was already dead, suddenly want to be released with Niu San?

I always feel that something is wrong, but Xiao Feng's logic is correct, the same capital crime, the same meritorious service, if Niu San doesn't let go of Zhan Feiyun, then how to explain it?

Zhao Wenhua stepped forward: "Lord Xiao, the poison is just a female relative of your Xiao Mansion, not a relative of the emperor."

This credit doesn't seem to be on the table, how can it break the crime of Zhan Feiyun breaking into prison? ”

Xiao Feng looked at Ke Zifan and spread his hands: "It's over, Brother Ke, it's not that I don't want to help Niu San."

It was really my Lord Zhao who questioned it, saying that the credit for saving my Xiao Mansion people was not big enough to be worthy of the capital crime. ”

Ke Zifan glared at Zhao Wenhua angrily, and Zhao Wenhua was anxious: "I'm not saying that Niu San can't do it, I mean Zhan Feiyun can't do it, because, because this and this ......"

Xiao Feng looked at Zhao Wenhua with a smile: "Who discovered the poisoning first?" Zhan Feiyun or Niu San? ”

"This ...... Zhan Feiyun, Niu San is in prison. ”

"Who went to find Niu San in prison?"

“…… Zhan Feiyun. ”

"Who can bring the old way out of the WTO concept? Niu San or Zhan Feiyun? ”

"No, it's not that it's Lu ......"

"Ahem." Yan Song coughed violently twice, and as soon as Zhao Wenhua looked up, Lu Bing, who was standing beside Jiajing, was looking at him coldly.

"This, it can only be Zhan Feiyun." Nonsense, can Niu San enter the world, does he have this identity?

"Then you say, why is Niu San's merit a merit, but Zhan Feiyun's merit not a merit?"

No one spoke, it was going around and around, as if that was really the case! Anyway, these two people are going to die together now, and they want to live together!

Ke Zifan took a deep breath: "Lord Xiao, this matter is already clear, so let's do it." ”

The hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, he didn't expect Miao Jiang to be menacing, and he was sent away by his junior brother in a few words, very good, very good.

Ke Zifan looked at Xiao Feng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since the start of the second half was not good, then don't blame my brother for making a ruthless move in advance.

Ke Zifan took out an old yellowed book and held it high. Everyone was puzzled and stretched their necks to look. Xiao Feng was the closest, and he saw the six big characters on the cover at a glance.

Khitan Xiao clan genealogy.

At this time, the hundred officials had already seen it, but they did not understand its meaning and discussed with each other. Only the few people with the fastest brain reactions slowly turned their gaze to Xiao Feng.

Jiajing was the farthest away, so he looked at Huang Jin with an inquiring gaze. Huang Jin took a few steps forward, chuckled in his heart, slowly walked back to Jiajing's side, and whispered.

Jiajing's eyes suddenly opened, and then slowly closed again.

"Lord Xiao, the Ming Dynasty is up and down, does anyone know that the Lord is a Khitan? Does anyone know that the Lord and the White Lotus Sect Holy Envoy Xiao Qin are brothers? ”

Everyone exclaimed again, and some people had already guessed that this person had taken out the genealogy, most likely for Xiao Feng, but they never expected that Xiao Feng would have this relationship with the Holy Envoy of the White Lotus Sect.

Jiajing's body shook, and his eyes opened again, and this time he didn't close them.

Xiao Feng is a Khitan, he can accept it, Taoists have never said that Khitan people can't cultivate the Tao, they can't become immortals.

Although the Khitan once established the Great Liao and fought with the Northern Song Dynasty of the Han people, it was a long time ago after all.

Now that the Khitan tribe has been wiped out, there is actually no threat, far less than the Mongols and Jurchens in front of them.

But the relationship with Xiao Qin is a brother, and the impact of this matter is too great. Not only for Jiajing, but for everyone. Yan Song was also in a trance for a while.

But Yan Song immediately came back to his senses, turned his head and looked at Lu Bing sternly, Lu Bing frowned slightly, but still waved his hand, and several imperial guards took a step across and blocked in front of Jiajing.

There were also a few guards who quietly surrounded Ke Zifan and Xiao Qin in the middle, and they would strike first when they just waited for an order.

The genealogy was presented, Lu Bing first flipped through it to check whether there was any poisonous entrainment, and when he turned to the last few pages, he saw a line.

Xiao bitter night gave birth to a son, Xiao Luo, Xiao Qi. Xiao Luo gave birth to a son Xiao Kong, Xiao Kong gave birth to a son Xiao Si, and Xiao Si gave birth to a son Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qi gave birth to a son Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng went to Shanxi, gave birth to a son Xiao Wannian, and then lost contact, Xiao Wannian was still young, and it is unknown whether he grew up.

The paper is yellow, the ink is dull, and it is indeed written many years ago and cannot be forged. Lu Bing silently handed over the family tree to Jiajing.

Xiao Feng suddenly smiled: "Xiao Qin has such a big trick in her hand, and she has been refusing to release it, it must not be because she feels sorry for me." I guess he didn't have any evidence before, right? ”

Ke Zifan nodded: "The genealogy in his hand does not record your branch, and the genealogy he only got recently records your father's name." ”

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment: "Xiao Qin has recently entered the Miao Territory, if he had obtained the genealogy before, he would not have said it until today." So this genealogy should have been obtained in Miaojiang.

There is a Xiao family tree in Miao Jiang, Xiao Qin asked you to use the family tree to deal with me, what is the relationship between the Xiao family and Miao Jiang? ”

Ke Zifan said with a smile: "People say that Lord Xiao has the law in his body and knows everything, why do I need to say it, or, guess what?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded, and hooked his finger at one of the four court clerks: "Lend him your pen and ink and let him write a word." ”

Ke Zifan wrote the word "Xiao" and said with a smile: "Even from Xiao, I asked Xiao, I want to test, what is the relationship between my Miao Jiang and the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Feng looked at Ke Zifan for a moment: "You know the rules of word measurement in "Cangjie Heavenly Book" very well, Xiao Qin told you?" ”

Ke Zifan smiled and said nothing, Xiao Feng stopped talking nonsense, picked up the word, and after a while, chanted softly.

"The word 'Xiao' on the word '艹' and the lower '肅' is not only to ask the relationship between the Xiao family and Miao Jiang, but also to ask the relationship between the Xiao family and Miao Jiang, and the word 'Miao' on the word '艹' and under the word 'Tian', the two have the same head and different tails. It can be seen that the Xiao family and Miao Jiang's ancestors are of the same origin and have a kinship.

However, "Su" has the meaning of killing depression, and "Tian" has the meaning of germination and nurturing, although it has the same origin, the end is different. The Xiao family is gradually declining, but Miao Jiang is rising.

Since Miao Jiang has risen and the Xiao family has fallen, it is not the Xiao family that has risen in Miao Jiang. If it is not the Xiao family and has the same origin, it is not the father family, but the mother family. The ancestors of the Xiao family had a woman who married into Miao Jiang.

The middle of the word '肅' is '聿', and the two sides are 'pieces'. The word "Yu" originally means pen, but also the meaning of writing, Xiao Qin is dedicated to recovering the Great Liao, leaving a name in history, it is this "Yu" word.

However, "Yu" is divided into two pieces, which is the meaning of splitting the pen and breaking the book, and the will of heaven does not allow it, so it is forced.

The decline of the Xiao family and the rise of Miao Jiang represent that 'Yu' is not as good as 'Tian', if Xiao Qin wants to continue the bloodline of the Xiao family and live endlessly, he should return to the countryside and not be delusional.

As a cousin of the Xiao family, you should also persuade the big toast to keep the 'field' and 'seedling', if you are confused by Xiao Qin, and give birth to the heart of 'Yu' to leave a name in history, then 'Tian' will become 'Sui', heaven and earth will be killed, and it will be difficult to grow an inch of grass. ”

Xiao Feng's voice was not loud, but his internal strength was already strong at this time, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly, Jiajing slowly closed his eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and opened his mouth lightly.

"Lu Bing, if Xiao Feng really has a bad heart for me, two years, hundreds of days and nights, how many times have I had a Huang Jin by my side, do you still need to go to the main hall?

Yan Song may not know the inside story, are you so stupid? Even his own people don't trust him, so that outsiders can laugh! ”

Lu Bingxin said what the fuck is this, it's obvious that Yan Song wants to protect you than the painting, if I don't say anything at all, you should say that I'm disloyal again.

Now it seems that you are prescient again, when Ke Zifan said that Xiao Qin and Xiao Feng were brothers just now, he didn't know who trembled.

Of course, Lu Bing could only sneer at him, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the guards disperse, where to stand.

"The minister is stupid, long live the lesson."

Ke Zifan frowned, couldn't he think of the killer weapon in Xiao Qin's mouth, so vulnerable? Or is Jiajing, although he is generous, he is actually jealous in his heart?

"Brother Xiao, what you said is good. A hundred years ago, the Great Liao fell, and the women of the Xiao family migrated to Miaojiang, and because of their noble status, they mostly married Tusi.

And there are many ethnic groups in Miaojiang, not only Miao, many tribes are focused on the mother family, although the Xiao family has no name in Miaojiang, its influence is really not small.

My mother also has Xiao family blood, so it's okay for you to call me cousin. It's just that you said that what Xiao Qin is trying to do will definitely fail, do you have any evidence? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, damn how arrogant you are, in front of the emperor, you still dare to ask why your cousin's rebellion will be defeated? Is this a question that can be asked?

Besides, didn't Lord Xiao test your words just now? What Lord Xiao said in the word test, that is what the gods say, do you dare not believe what the gods say?

Suddenly, the ministers were scolded, and even Yan Song had to scold a few words, but he was very puzzled, didn't his son say that Ke Zifan was a genius, so good at doing such a tiger thing?

Jiajing was also angry, but he was scheming, and his joy and anger were invisible, he just opened his eyes and took a look, but saw Xiao Feng with one hand behind his back and shook it at himself.

Jiajing calmed down and shook his head lightly at Lu Bing. He also knew in his heart that Miao Jiang's coming to negotiate this time was actually a temptation. Blind and strong suppression has no effect.

Even if they kill Ke Zifan and Niu San, they will be of no practical use. It will only bring rebel forces such as Miao Jiang and the White Lotus Sect closer.

It's rare that the other party wants to break it, so let the junior brother break it.

Since ancient times, the use of soldiers has been based on the heart, anyway, since I have known my junior brother, no one has ever talked about it, and I can take advantage of my junior brother.

After Xiao Feng stabilized Jiajing, he waited for the scolding of the ministers to gradually subside before he spoke calmly.

"Brother Ke, I know that you came here this time to see how the imperial court treats Miao Jiang, so as to decide how Miao Jiang treats the imperial court.

At this time, Xiao Qin was in Miaojiang, bringing together the Mongols, Tibetans and Miaojiang people, and maybe pirates, pirates and Jurchens.

He thinks that his soldiers are strong and strong, and he can form a siege against Daming, right? ”

Ke Zifan was noncommittal: "If it is really as you said, doesn't he have a chance to succeed?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "No." The success of the rebellion has always been inseparable from several conditions, such as the right time, the right place, and the right people.

When the time comes, there will be a great natural disaster and famine, and the people will have no food to eat, just like dry firewood everywhere, and if someone lights a fire at this time, it will surely burn the wildfire.

Although the Ming Dynasty has not been smooth in recent years, it is long live and wise, and the household department is powerful, and knows that the people take food as the sky.

Planning for relief, although there are places to suffer, but there is no place to go back, am I right? ”

Ke Zifan was silent, in fact, to say that there were no natural disasters and famine in the Jiajing Dynasty, it was nonsense, but the timing of Xiao Feng's crossing was very subtle.

In ancient times, natural disasters occurred every year, and the regional distribution was different. Judging from the records, natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty were more frequent than those of other dynasties. The Jiajing Dynasty was no exception.

The description of the extent of famine in history books is generally divided into four levels.

The first level, hunger somewhere.

It means that the common people don't have enough to eat, and they are all hungry, but there are not many people who die of hunger, and they are still in the state of the legal system.

The second level is the great hunger in a certain place.

It means that the common people do not have enough to eat, many people starve to death, and the population has decreased a lot. It is still in a state of civilization

The third level is that there is a great hunger in a certain place, and people cannibalize each other.

It means that the common people have no food, and there has been a cannibalism incident, which is already completely barbaric.

The fourth level, there is a great hunger in a certain place, cannibalism, easy children to eat, father and son cannibalism, ten rooms and nine emptiness, no one for a hundred miles, and a rancid smell for thousands of miles.

Meaning...... This is no longer a human society, or even a state of barbarism, but a state of extinction.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, there were three famines that reached the third level or above. One of them was in the third year of Jiajing, and the other two were in the thirty-first and thirty-sixth years of Jiajing.

When Jiajing was three years old, Jiajing was still an ambitious and energetic Ming Jun, and he would definitely do everything he could to stabilize the country he had just taken over.

And the last two times, before they came, Xiao Feng came first. He will definitely do his best to make this kind of tragedy happen again.

Ke Zifan didn't speak, but Jiajing and Pan Huang were very satisfied, Xiao Feng praised them! Natural disasters have always been inevitable, but we have Ming Jun and virtuous ministers!

Therefore, Jiajing thought about changing rice to mulberry, and the junior brother said to postpone it a little and see if it was very reasonable.

"The second is the geographical advantage, Xiao Qin feels that he has allies in the south, south, and northwest, but he doesn't know that the relationship between these allies is extremely fragile, and the Ming Dynasty can break it with a snap of his fingers."

Ke Zifan said coldly: "I'm afraid it's not as easy as Lord Xiao said, Xiao Qin has worked hard for many years, is it an exaggeration to break it with a snap of his fingers?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "Xiao Qin and Altan Khan have formed an alliance for many years, what is the result?" Altan Khan called himself a minister, asked for canonization, and the Datong mutual market was full of flowers.

Xiao Qin and the Japanese have formed an alliance, but they have acted together a few times, what is the result? The Japanese invaders suffered heavy casualties, the White Lotus Sect branch altar was wiped out, and even the old nest was destroyed.

Xiao Qin's alliance with the pirates only touched a second-rate commodity like Xu Hai, and this official went south this time, and Wang Zhi had already expressed his loyalty to the imperial court.

Not only will he not be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but he will also assist the imperial court in clearing out other pirates. You don't think Xu Hai will be Wang Zhi's opponent, right?

Xiao Qin and Miao Jiang are not only connected by blood, but Miao Jiang has not contributed to Xiao Qin until now.

Why? Because Da Tusi knows that within Miao Jiang, 100,000 mountains can be made into copper walls and iron walls, and out of the mountains, what will Miao Jiang use to confront the imperial court soldiers?

Therefore, Miao Jiang is at most a place for Xiao Qin to survive, and he can't support his rebellious ambitions at all, and Xiao Qin also knows this.

As for the Tibetan area, from ancient times to the present, only the Central Plains went to fight the Tibetan area, when did the Tibetan area fight the Central Plains? Tibet is the land of Buddha, how can it hit a stone with an egg for the sake of Xiao Qin?

In the final analysis, allies need benefits, and when the White Lotus Sect was at its peak, it was still unable to give benefits that would make these people's hearts move, and now it is like a lost dog, what benefits can be given? ”

Ke Zifan was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said: "The time and place are all right, what about people?" Since I have talked about this today, I hope that you will be blunt.

My lord said in good conscience, can the court occupy people today? Is the court united? Can local officials win the hearts and minds of the people? Do the people really have a heart for the court? ”

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Corrupt officials, city fox and rats, can never be killed." Whether a court wins the hearts of the people does not depend on whether there are corrupt officials and traitorous ministers, but on the attitude of the court towards corrupt officials and traitors.

Long live the wise today, pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, reward the good and punish the evil, enter the world with the Tao, cultivate the Tao with the world, walk with the way of heaven, and think of the national fortune.

In this way, even if there are traitors and corrupt officials in the court, they can only be temporarily confused by wearing the skin of loyal ministers and clean officials, and they cannot wait for the day when they will be exposed and severely punished. ”

Ke Zifan ridiculed: "If the traitor and corrupt official pretend to be good, no one will know about acting for a lifetime?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently: "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time. Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

Bai Juyi understands the truth, but you don't understand? People are all people who are determined to be loyal and honest officials all their lives, that is, loyal ministers and clean officials.

People are not afraid of pretending, but what they are afraid of is that they can't pretend, Lord Yan, don't you say? ”

Xiao Feng's sudden question made Yan Song's heart skip a beat, and he immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous, how can I know?" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
