Chapter 49: The Oath

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Han people are not good at war, so they can't be entrusted with heavy burdens!" Wei Xiangyuan immediately stood up and objected.

The nobles glanced at each other, and soon several nobles of great weight stood up to express their worries about the Han people joining the army.

"Your Majesty, the Han people are not good at fighting, this is well known, marching and fighting is the duty of Xianbei men, and the Han people only need to plant good fields!"

"The minister is willing to lead 20,000 troops and ask Your Majesty to remove the Han people in this army!"

The Shandong family here is not happy again, these soldiers are strong, but the Hebei family has been entangled for a long time before deciding to give up, and get the emperor's support for the family, many of them are dead soldiers or the guards of the family caravan, how can the combat effectiveness be poor?

An official of the Qinghe Cui clan laughed angrily and said, "We Han people are not good at fighting? How rampant the Xiongnu were back then, they were not destroyed by the Han Dynasty! If it weren't for Sima's infighting, would you Hu slaves have a chance to enter the Central Plains? You're worthy to be only robbers who cut paths! ”

Zhao Yanshen, who was there with the old gods, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Cui Ping is cautious!" ”

The young official from the Qinghe Cui clan reluctantly closed his mouth, Gao Wei's eyes fell on him faintly, and said:

"Cui Pingdian lost his manners, the rod was fifteen, and he was fined for half a year."

Cushman & Wakefield didn't give the nobles more opportunities to tear open the rift, and dealt with Cui Ping first, which made the hearts of the lords who had planned to seize the opportunity to participate in the impeachment fall into the void.

It seems that His Majesty is still more partial to those families!

Although they are not angry in their hearts, it is not easy to show it, but the problem in principle cannot be changed, Xianbei joined the army, and the Han people supported Xianbei, this is almost already an ancestral system, from Emperor Shenwu to Emperor Wucheng has never changed!

They couldn't let this sprout sprout, so they said: "The minister implores Your Majesty, please take the overall situation as the most important thing and withdraw the Han army!" ”

"That is, the Han people are already very reluctant to defend the border fortress, in terms of siege and field warfare, how can the Han people be the opponent of our Xianbei boys?"

Now not only the officials from the family, but even some of the Han scholars and the Xianbei officials who are more sinicized can't listen to it, and the nobles don't beat around the bush at all, and even say:

"The Han people are useless, they will only talk about it, and when they get to the battlefield, they are not useless? Only we Xianbei people, brave and good at fighting, can protect the country! ”

"Concubines dare!" ……

"Enough!!" Gao Wei slammed his fist on the ebony case, glaring angrily at the noisy courtiers.

"The court is a place for deliberations, not a vegetable market where shrews scold the street! Look at you guys, what do you look like?! ”

"What Xianbei, Han people? Look at yourselves, look at them, and see what? Is there any difference? You only have one identity, and that is the Daqi people! ”

"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is still responsible! And you, in this court, are fighting chaotically, forming gangs, and fighting endlessly! Do you want to destroy this great Qi country? What happened to the Han Chinese? Can't the Han people have the duty to guard their homes and defend their land?! ”

"I have already issued an edict, do you want me to make a statement in front of the people of the world?!"

"Don't dare!" Wei Xiangyuan knelt down with a large number of lords and ministers, and Gao Wei's deep gaze swept behind them, but did not call them up.

"I treat Zhuqing very kindly, and even if I rebel, I only kill the first evil, and I do not implicate the old and young women and children, but I don't want to see the descendants of the heroes wither. But you must understand that I am not only the emperor of the Xianbei people, but also the monarch of the Great Qi! There are far more than Xianbei people on Daqi! And the Han Chinese! ”

"The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great! A country cannot achieve anything great without the tolerance and progress, because its power is too scattered, and everyone is not united, and it cannot twist its strength into a rope! You can't play to your best in the face of an enemy country! ”

"The State of Zhou has been defeated repeatedly, why is Zhou on which side of the attack, have you figured it out?"

"When Zhao Qing and I talked about the country's maladministration, first of all, I said that the biggest problem of my Daqi today is not the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, nor the natural disasters, let alone the Turkic Koubian, Daqi, in fact, the biggest maladministration is - the people's hearts are not aligned!"

"Xianbei bullied the Han people, the Han people despised Xianbei, could not unite, and fought with each other, so my Daqi is getting weaker and weaker!"

Gao Wei tried hard to calm himself down, and said: "It's ridiculous to say, when Shenwu Wenxuan, my Daqi was obviously stronger than Zhou, but now it is getting weaker and weaker, but you haven't thought deeply about the root cause......"

"The subordinates are incompetent! ......" the ministers hulala knelt on the ground.

"Once Emperor Xiaozhao could be described as the lord of Zhongxing, my Daqi was thriving under the leadership of Emperor Xiaozhao, but Emperor Xiaozhao died, and Daqi was no longer strong."

"Although many of Xiaozhao's decrees have greatly improved the shortcomings of the decrees, Daqi is still weakening."

“…… Daqi has a population of more than millions of households, a full 20 million people! Zhou occupies Guanlong and Bashu, and the number of people is not more than 10 million, and Nanchen is even more unbearable. I am full of Qi, rich in mountains and rivers, and beautiful in the world! Why did you lose to Zhou, have you ever thought about it? ”

Everyone was silent, pondering, in the past, the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to attack, and they were all defeated by the Great Qi, but after so many years, it has always been the Northern Zhou Dynasty that has deployed troops on a large scale to attack the Northern Qi, but few Northern Qi took the initiative to mobilize a large army to attack the Northern Zhou, was the sergeant not brave or the Zhou army too strong?

No, it's because over the years, Daqi's national strength has become weaker and weaker.

In the past, when they thought about this problem, they often blamed natural and man-made disasters, but ignored their own problems, and seemed to believe that even they believed that the decline of Daqi's national strength was only temporary, and when the natural disasters passed, they would soon return to the strong period of Daqi.

It wasn't until today that they suddenly discovered that the weakness of Great Qi had been foreshadowed since Emperor Shenwu......

The ministers were silent, and Gao Wei continued: "Just rely on Zhou to be more tolerant than our Daqi, so that the Han people and Xianbei can work together, but our Daqi's strong national strength is consumed in internal strife." If this continues, Daqi will not be able to hold on sooner or later......"

Gao Wei stood up on the table, looked at the ministers murderously, and said: "Therefore, I have determined to abandon those old customs, from now on, above the court, I must not attack each other with Xianbei and Han, nor incite the people, I have made up my mind, whoever stops me will be my mortal enemy!" ”

He kicked over the copy, strode out of Tongquetai, and a silent military formation came into Gao Wei's eyes.

Gao Wei took out the long sword on Hu Luguang's waist, pointed to the military formation in front of him, and said loudly:

"Among you, there are Han people, Xianbei people, and Gaoche people! I swear once again today that no matter what ethnic group, as long as it is the people of Great Qi, I will treat them equally! There are rewards for merit, punishments for mistakes, compensation for the dead and wounded, never because of the ethnic distinction, favoring one over the other, if you violate this oath, God hates it! ”
