Yuwen is so talkative, where can Shu Yan tell if it's true or false?

As one of the six classics, the "Book of Music" is the culmination of the pre-Qin music law, and it is the general essence of the music law, and its status in the music world is as important as the "Book of Songs" in the literary world, which is extremely important, but unfortunately died in the Qin fire. These two volumes of bamboo slips are unique fragments, the only one, very flirtatious! Since it is lost, it should be searched in time, why not report it? ”

"Uh-" Listening to Shu Yan's questioning, Yuwen attacked slightly, "Maybe it's because it's precious, Shi Gongzi is afraid that the crime will not be light, so he will hide it." ”

After Shu Yan got the two fragments of the Book of Music from his father-in-law of Tang, he knew that the significance of this object should not be collected by a private person, so he decided to dedicate it to the imperial court. I thought it would be more secure and foolproof to be stored in the Royal Library, but I didn't expect it to be lost! This incident was no less than Peng Hui's death, which made him doubly heartbroken.

Zhixin was sober at this time, and hurriedly comforted: "Such an important classic has been lost for so long, and the imperial court doesn't even know it, which shows how unbearable it is." Husband don't have to be angry about it. You think, even if the bamboo slip is not lost that day, it will not be spared when the Xiongnu overthrow Luoyang. Now the Jin family has been destroyed, and the old system of rules and regulations, books, and rituals has all been destroyed. What is the pity of the fragment "The Book of Music"? It should have died in Qin Huo, but only if it hadn't been reborn. ”

Another round of shouting and killing under the city reminded Shu Yan and Liu Mang: If no one refuses to give in, if it continues like this, the most likely result will be: the Huns will break through Ruyin City, burn and loot on a large scale; Shu Yan saw that he couldn't save it, so he would kill Liu Mang with a sword; As long as Liu Mang dies, Shu Yan and the others will die at the hands of the Huns. This is obviously an ending that no one can afford to lose. At this time, Yuwen Xi felt that both sides were not friendly to him, and he wanted to leave again.

"Brother Yuwen stays."

Now is not the time to fight for face, let alone lament the "Book of Music". In case the city is broken, even if you kill Liu Mang and retrieve the "Book of Music", what is the use? In order to save a glimmer of life for the people in the city, Shu Yan had to open his mouth to keep Yuwen attack. But who knew that before he could speak, Liu Mang came out first.

It turned out that Liu Mang had also pondered: he had obviously fallen into a desperate situation of life and death, but now that someone helped coordinate and had room for maneuver, how could he easily let it go? What have I led the army for all these years? Isn't it just the status of an official? If he was killed by Shu Yan today, wouldn't there be nothing?

"You and I are both nobles of our own tribe, and it is inevitable that we will consider problems at the high level of our respective tribes. Although there are verbal offenses in the following, but in the friendship between the two of us for many years, my friend is in trouble here, but you just throw your hand and leave, spread it out, I'm afraid it's not too righteous, right? Is it the work of a great husband? ”

This stimulus really worked, Yuwen Xi didn't take two steps, and when he heard Liu Mang like this, he stopped, turned around and said: "You really slandered me just now, but if I leave like this, I will definitely end up with a reputation of being unrighteous and narrow-minded." Besides, I owe something to Shi Gongzi, and if I can bring about a reconciliation between the two of you, it will be a compensation for him. Well, if both of you are willing, I will continue to be this peacemaker and help you reconcile. You are a Chinese and a Huns, and it happens to be reconciled by me, a Xianbei person. ”

Liu Mang opened his mouth first to retain Yuwen Xi, proving that he couldn't stand it anymore. In this way, Shu Yan took the initiative and deliberately said: "It is naturally good that Brother Yuwen is willing to give a whirlwind from it. As you said, one of us is Chinese and the other is a Huns, and you, a Xianbei person, are just suitable for this peace affair, but if you want to mediate, I have a precondition, that is, you must stop the siege immediately. ”

"It's nature. Since we must temporarily put aside hostility when we talk about peace, regardless of whether we succeed or not, how can there be any reason to fight while making peace? Brother Liu, are you? ”

"This ...... That's fine. Although Liu Mang was unwilling, Yuwen was very reasonable and had to agree.

Yuwen Xi nodded with satisfaction, and then deliberately looked intently at Liu Mang, who was lying on the ground and was forced by the Murnar sword in his throat, and turned to Shu Yan: "Since Brother Liu has shown sincerity, Brother Shu should also take a step back." Now Brother Liu looks like this, it's really not very elegant, right? ”

Shu Yan nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't attack the city anymore, I won't be too embarrassed for him." Mo, put away the sword and let him sit up. ”

Mo refused to buy it, and whispered to Shu Yan: "If you really want to let him sit up, if we are not careful, he only needs to run out of the range of our sword, where is there a chance to kill him!" ”

"Since we have agreed to let Sprinkle peace, we must show some sincerity. That's really not appropriate. If you are really not at ease, you can leave the sword away, but at least you must make him sit up. Yuwen is the son of Xianbei Shan Yu of Yuwen Ministry, which is extraordinary, and Liu Mang can't cheat. ”

"Oops!"

As it turned out, Mo's worries were unnecessary. As soon as Liu Mang was about to sit up, there was a sharp pain in his right tibia, which must have been broken at the moment of falling to the ground. Due to the multiple injuries all over his body, coupled with the tense confrontation, he himself was not particularly aware of it, and he realized that he had broken his leg when he got up. Just now, he tricked himself and couldn't get up, because he wanted to be at the mercy of Shu Yan, who knew that he really couldn't get up. I had no choice but to lie down again.

After a short time, from the north city, the west city, and then the east city and the south city, the shouting and killing gradually stopped. Yuwen Xi smiled happily and said: "Since everyone is sincere and has made a step forward, then there is hope for reconciliation." Now, can you tell me how things got to this point? ”

Shu Yan first said indignantly: "I have already negotiated peace with him, but who knew that he would go back on his word, not only killing my guard Peng Hui, but also leading troops into the city to plunder!" ”

"Oh? If that's the case, Brother Liu, that's your fault! ”

Liu Mang hurriedly defended: "Brother Yuwen doesn't know, this is my subordinate Ah Zhuang who made a change without authorization, and it was a big deal. It stirred up waves for a while, and no one had time to calm down in a hurry, which led to an intensification and an out-of-control situation. ”

Yuwen Xi listened to the two arguments, clapped his hands and said: "Since you have already reached a settlement agreement, you will still perform according to the original discussion, isn't it very simple?" ”

Shu Yan snorted and said, "If it comes according to the original discussion, I am naturally willing to continue to perform, but I'm afraid he may not." Before I left the city, he agreed to my terms, but after I left the city, he changed his mind. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Yuwen Xun turned his head to look at Liu Mang and asked.

Liu Mang said helplessly: "It's not that I refuse to agree, but the conditions he proposed are too harsh and difficult to perform in school."

"You are not allowed to take the people captive. This is human nature, and it is Brother Shu's benevolent heart. Absolutely. Yuwen guessed.

Liu Mang shook his head.

"At most, Brother Shu asked to be the Taishou of the county, which is understandable." Yu Wenxun continued to ponder.

"If he asks for that, how can I not agree? His conditions were: Ruyin County will not be a vassal to our Han Dynasty, and will not pay taxes to our court. How can this be the case in the world? How can I explain to my emperor? I did pretend to agree to him first, and after he left the city, I promised to promote him as an official in my Han Dynasty, but he flatly refused. This led to a dispute, which in turn led to the breakdown of the peace talks. ”

"Since you agreed to the conditions I proposed, you went back on your word, and further wooed me to assist the hypocrite, how can you be reasonable?" Shu Yan retorted indignantly.

"This ......" Yu Wenxian looked embarrassed, and looked at the two people left and right, "One is not a minister, and the other is not taxed, which is no different from autonomy." This condition is really harsh, no wonder Brother Liu is embarrassed, after all, he can't explain to the Han Emperor. But Brother Liu should be frank and unrestrained, and should not deliberately deceive and go back on his word. It's come to this, and you don't give in to each other, which makes me very embarrassed. "Yuwen Zhen does feel very tricky. Whoever helps people wants to help succeed. Since this matter has been managed, I must hope that it will be managed and that both parties will be satisfied. However, both sides are involved in their own fundamental issues of principle, and neither side is willing to make concessions. How is this good?

At this point, both sides seem to realize that it is difficult to continue peace talks. However, Yu Wenxian suddenly had an idea: although the principle is unwilling to give in, it can loosen the understanding of the principle and make the bottom line blurred, maybe he thought of this, so he first tried to say to Shu Yan: "I know that Brother Shu is a benevolent gentleman, a loyal courtier, loyal to the former lord, and refuses to change his temper, but there is no need to insist on these two conditions." ”

Shu Yan glared at Yu Wenxian sideways: "Since you buckled me with such a big high hat, but I don't have to insist, what is the reason?" ”

Yuwen Xian smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, listen to me for you." In the pre-Qin period, the warring states were strife. Shang Ying was originally a patriot, and Li Si was originally a native of Chu, but neither of them contributed to their own country, one made Qin rich and strong, and the other helped Qin unify; In the dispute between Chu and Han, Han Xin was originally Xiang Yu's person, but in the end he helped Liu Bang achieve hegemony; During the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and even the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, there were countless strategists and generals who chose to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light. The winner is the prince and the loser. These people are all masters who can't see the hope of the old master and turn to it. received the courtesy of the Lord, and also helped the Lord achieve great things. This is to abandon the dark and turn to the light, these Rao are indeed two ministers, but most of them have achieved fame and shine in history. Can you do them wrong? ”

"Although these civil and military talents you listed, although they are all suspected of defection, whether it is the pre-Qin Warring States, or the dispute between Chu and Han, or the Three Kingdoms, they are all my Chinese internal strife, and defecting to the enemy and treason is just another Ming master, but the Xiongnu are Yidi foreigners, how can they be compared?"

"Brother Shu's words are not too rigorous, right? What is Yidi? The so-called difference between Huayi, the so-called Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi is the law of the pre-Qin period. The so-called Huaxia originally referred to just a piece of land in the Central Plains. In this way, it is not south of the Yangtze River, west of Qinyong, and north of Youzhou, even today's Qingzhou is also a Yi tribe. Qin Shi Huang opened Baiyue, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed through the Western Regions, and the reason why China gradually grew was because of continuous tolerance, so that all the surrounding four Yi became Chinese. ”

"Although the truth is correct, it has always been Huaxia to control the country, and there has been no control of China, right? China has been inherited for thousands of years from the Yan and Huang dynasties to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to the Qin and Han dynasties, but once it fell into Hulu, where is the face of my Chinese descendants? ”

"You still don't understand what inclusion means. What is Huaxia Zhiyi? What is the razing of China? Now whether it is the Xiongnu, Xianbei, or the Wa Kingdom, or Funan, they are all learning Chinese etiquette and advocating Chinese culture. Liu Yuan, Liu Cong, or Li Teh and Li Xiong of Chengdu, although they opened up the country and became famous for their scales, they still continued the way of governing the world and the etiquette tradition of the Han and Jin dynasties. It can be seen that Huaxia is still Huaxia, but with a change of ruler. Besides, there are few Yidi people, and there are many Chinese, as long as they live together and marry, after a hundred years, how can there be Yidi? This is only the most optimistic scenario for the Huns. The sentence is ugly, who dares to guarantee that the Xiongnu can have a century-old national ancestry? Shangxing Xiongnu, the Xiongnu rose with the trend; In the same way, if the Xiongnu are to be destroyed, the Xiongnu will also be destroyed in response to the situation. So I advised Brother Shu not to be too obsessed with the current dispute between Jin and Hungary, and in a few years, it is not certain who will kill the deer. However, it is the most important thing to be able to continue Huaxia. ”

"It's not certain who will kill the deer, but the most important thing is to be able to continue Huaxia......" Shu Yan pondered Yuwen's words in his heart.

Seeing that Shu Yan was no longer so stubborn, Yuwen turned to persuade Liu Mang: "Paying taxes and being a minister is the obligation of the local government to the imperial court, and this is understandable. Although Ruyin was to be owned by the Han Dynasty, it was not completely conquered by force, but by peace negotiations. The current situation is special, and special matters must be dealt with. Brother Liu, are you right? ”

Liu Mang was in pain, and was held hostage with a sword, which was difficult and embarrassing, and he had long been looking forward to ending it soon, and immediately said: "I am willing to listen to Gao's opinion." ”

Seeing that both sides had eased, Yuwen said with a smile: "I'll give you a way to neutralize, and you two will see if you can agree." First of all, in terms of taxes, the Han court temporarily suspended the levy on Ruyin for three years, and then paid it after three years; Secondly, on the part of the monarch and his subordinates, it is still a three-year transition period. Ruyin nominally belonged to the Han Dynasty, but during this period, Ruyin was not subject to the Han court. The county guard of Ruyin and the county commanders of the eight subordinate counties, and all the assistant officials were all selected and appointed by Ruyin himself. ”

"Three years?" Liu Mang hesitated, "Can it be two years?" ”

Yuwen Xi glanced at Shu Yan, who was also hesitating, shook his head and said, "I have done my best, and I am afraid that I can't do anything." You both weigh it up. It's best to agree, and I can't help it if I don't agree, just because I've never been here, and leave immediately. ”

"I shouldn't have agreed, but since Brother Yuwen is here, I always have to give Brother Yuwen a face. It is barely feasible to defer the payment of taxes for three years, but all these soldiers and horses recruited by Shu Yan must be lifted. Liu Mang was a little aggrieved.

"It's nature. Disarming soldiers and horses is a key premise, there is no doubt about it. ”

Shu Yan listened to Yu Wenxi's words and seemed to have an understanding. In that year, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Haojing, was broken by the dog Rong, the king of Zhou You was killed, and the Western Zhou was destroyed for a time, but it didn't take long for the dog Rong to be destroyed by the princes of the Central Plains, and re-established a Zhou son, which was for the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At present, although the Xiongnu are taking advantage of the situation, who knows how long it will be able to flourish? As long as the Chinese blood and culture continue, why can't they rise again?

The two sides finally reached a consensus on reconciliation.

On the one hand, this result is due to the clever and thorough remarks of the reconciled person Yuwen, and more importantly, it is really a last resort for both sides.

Shu Yan first dismissed the soldiers and horses as promised. Having soldiers and horses is what Liu Mang fears the most, and when he saw that all the soldiers and horses in Ruyin were disbanded, he was relieved and gradually withdrew the besieging troops according to his promise. As a heavyweight peacemaker with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Yuwen Xi waited and watched, and had the strength to deter the two sides from defaulting on the agreement. Seeing that both sides had withdrawn their troops, they left with confidence. In order to thank him for his reconciliation, Shu Yan enthusiastically rewarded his soldiers and horses. Liu Mang also said that he was paid.
