004, Ping Lize
"Tell me, what do you want? If your desires are related to the rest of the world, and cannot be fulfilled and accepted by anyone but yourself, the result can only be disaster and destruction......
This is in Chonghua's big tent, and sitting in front of him is Fei Liwang, the great witch of the Fei Li Department. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis tent is small but a treasure, sewn from a double layer of material, with an outer layer of animal skin and an inner layer of silk. There was a candle lit on the desk, but the light of the candle could not penetrate the tent at all. I couldn't detect anyone in the tent at all, and I couldn't even hear the sound, and I could block the prying eyes of my sense.
Chonghua's identity is very sensitive, he is the same as Lu Zhong is the descendant of Emperor Zhuan, and his father is the sixth grandson of Emperor Zhuan. Emperor Zhuan used both rigidity and softness to govern the country, on the one hand, he implemented the decree of Jedi Tiantong in all ministries in the world, and on the other hand, he carried out a policy of gentleness. He inspected all the tribes of the world, and as long as it was a tribe with some influence, he would marry one of the women as a concubine, and he left behind a large number of heirs.
These heirs are scattered, and the descendants cannot all be nobles, such as Su Suo is a commoner. However, Chonghua's talents and fame spread far and wide, and he was reused by Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, who became the head of the Youyu clan, regained his noble status, and now held important positions in the court.
When Danzhu toured the south, Chonghua had accompanied him, and when he canonized the five great witches as Bojun last year, he was also an envoy, and he knew a lot about the situation in this area and was familiar with many people. The great witch prince Fei Li Wang in front of him was also nominated by Chonghua at the beginning, otherwise Fei Li Wang would not have a good chance of sitting in this position.
In a sense, Fei Liwang is Chonghua's cronies and confidants in Jiuli. Today, Fei Liwang, on behalf of the five Great Witches, came to talk to Master Chonghua alone after nightfall. Hearing Lord Chonghua's question, Fei Liwang bowed his head and couldn't answer. Chonghua's words were filled with divine thoughts, reviewing the history and current situation of Jiuli-
Chonghua pointed out that the biggest problem of Jiuli is not that they are hostile and isolated by all the tribes in the world as they think, but that they have always refused to integrate into the normal tribal coexistence society, and subconsciously regard everyone except Li Min as an outlier, and instinctively carry innate hostility in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, how could Jiuli not be isolated and hostile, constantly expelled and weakened?
The mythical history passed down by Jiuli from mouth to mouth claims that he has been oppressed for hundreds of years, so he keeps migrating to avoid the Southern Wilderness, but he will never forget to inherit Chiyou's will and one day conquer the world under the leadership of the Gu God.
The oral history of the tribe is constantly evolving and recompiling, and if the people of the past continue to instill a sense of hatred in the tribe and become a spiritual consensus rooted in the hearts of each person, the impact will be too great. Jiuli is always accumulating strength to provoke conflicts and even vendettas, who can welcome them?
Chiyou rebelled that year, and after the defeat, the remnants of his troops were convicted, which is a normal situation. It is not surprising that the world is so big, and that for so many years since ancient times, various conflicts have erupted between various ministries, large and small. But Jiu Li's eyes and hearts have always been the only these, and that is the problem.
Not all the remnants of Chiyou have moved south, and there are still many people who still live in the same place back then, including the Youyu clan who re-became the head of the monarch, and the Hougang clan with Hou Gang as the head of the monarch, and many of them are descendants of Jiuli hundreds of years ago. Looking back now, they were not isolated from hostility, let alone without a surname, but integrated into the modern era.
In the process of moving south, Jiuli continued to have small branches and clans leaving, merging with various tribes in the world, or developing independently and coexisting. But there is always another group of people who insist on treating other tribes as aliens, and refuse to coexist in this way, so that they move farther and farther away.
Nowadays, the three major tribes of Huali, Shuili, and Wuli have long been divided and scattered and become part of the Chinese tribes, while the Benli tribe has been integrated into Chongchen. However, after the other five remnants came to the Southern Wilderness, they still held the original mentality, and during this period, they also experienced being secretly manipulated by the "Gu God". The more Jiuli does this, the more difficult the situation becomes, and the more harm it may cause to himself and others.
Danzhu once gave Jiuli a chance to bridge the rift with the outside world, that is, to accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven and integrate into various Chinese ministries, and to promote the education of the emperor to improve people's livelihood. But what did the Jiuli tribes do, taking this opportunity to integrate their forces and still provoke conflicts and strife at any cost.
There was also a series of questions in Chonghua's thoughts. In the more than 200 years since they moved to the Southern Wilderness, have there always been people who have praised their heroic and unyielding fighting spirit and their courage to always take up arms and rush to kill? This is indeed a kind of praise.
But what is the purpose of these praises? If they come from the outside world, I am afraid they all want to use the sword of Li Min to deal with their own enemies. For example, Chongchen and Gonggong both want to use Jiuli to contain each other, and all kinds of small actions and instigations have never stopped in the past two hundred years.
On the other hand, what is the purpose of Jiuli itself? If they still insist on treating all tribes other than the Li people as aliens, with the slogan of conquering aliens, and refusing to live normally outside of conflict, no one can tolerate such a situation.
And doing so will only make Jiuli weaker and weaker, more and more isolated and closed, and more and more backward and remote. To tell the sad truth, Jiuli has not become a catastrophe in the past two hundred years, not because Jiuli has no intention of harm, but because the strength is too weak. If Jiuli wants to improve his situation and learn to live in harmony with various ministries, then Chonghua is willing to do his best to help.
After a long time, Fei Li Wang raised his head and said, "It was the Chongchen Department that made the first move, and Wu Hui was the attacker." ā
Chonghua asked rhetorically: "Didn't Wu Hui greet you before he started? He just did what he said! I can tell you clearly that Wu Hui should indeed be punished for this judgment, but Jiuli is not responsible?"
What is the purpose of Gu Li Zhong's refusal to hand over the Benliu Village clan? If it is to protect them, why would those people be slaughtered without defense? Jiu Li had long planned to provoke the Chongchen tribe to take action, wanting to take the opportunity to lure Wu Hui into sending troops so that he could inflict heavy losses.
It's just that you underestimated Wu Hui, and since he wants to fight this battle, he won't do it the way you expect. Wu came back half a year earlier than you expected, so Jiuli was caught off guard, right?"
Fei Li Wang didn't answer this question directly, but replied: "After Fei Li Chi died, Gu Li Zhong was the oldest and most prestigious Great Witch Gong among the five major ministries, and he had been secretly planning for this for many years. ā
Chonghua said meaningfully: "It's good that he's dead, right?"
Fei Li Wang: "Yes, the 'Gu God', Fei Li Chi, and Gu Li Zhong are all dead now." ā
Chonghua let out a sigh of relief and said: "In this case, many obstacles have been removed, and many things have been able to see hope, it depends on whether you want to seize hope." No matter how I decide today, this war is over, and the outcome cannot be changed.
May I ask what you have gained, and is it really a victory? After decades of thrift and frugality, more than 4,000 elite young Zhuang people have been lost, and this is the result you want?
The Chongchen Department is your enemy in this battle. But in the future, if anyone preaches stupid things like everyone in the Chongchen tribe deserves to die, please kill him first, because that will only bring the disaster of extermination, no matter whose clan it is.
On the battlefield, it may be impossible to distinguish who is innocent, but outside the battlefield, before and after the war, there are always people who want to incite crimes and get involved in the innocent, just to achieve their own pitiful goals. May I ask how Jiuli will deal with himself after the war?"
Although Jiuli was victorious, he had been crippled by Wu Hui, and he was no longer able to take the initiative to provoke any conflicts for at least twenty or thirty years, so he could only lurk in the depths of the wilderness and rely on the geographical advantages to recuperate. In this case, if you don't let go of your original mentality, are there outsiders willing to help them? Do you still want to wait for Jiu Li to recover his breath in the future and accumulate strength before giving himself a knife?
Fei Liwang is also a smart person, otherwise he would not have been favored by Chonghua at the beginning, so he hurriedly fell to the ground and said: "Please advise Master Chonghua!"
Chonghua said expressionlessly: "The opportunity I can give you, in fact, Lord Danzhu has already given it." I want to ask, Lord Bo Yi slashed all the demons and evils, and Feng Xianjun found out that Gu God, you, the leaders of the Jiuli tribes, have you ever really been grateful to them? Even if you have that momentary feeling in your heart, have you ever been willing to really get along with sincerity?"
Fei Liwang still didn't answer directly, but pointed out something else: "Gu Lizhong is dead, not only did the five elites suffer heavy losses in this battle, but also the people who harbored hatred and killed were also killed. I don't want to see the people of Li in eternal suffering, but I hope that things will turn around. ā
Chonghua: "I'm afraid you don't want to lose your position and be in a difficult situation, right? It's okay to have this thought, as long as the 'mind of not wanting to see Li Min fall into eternal suffering' is true." The so-called turnaround is not only given by others, but also fought for by oneself. ā
He spread out a map drawn on the animal skin on the desk and said, "The first step is to demarcate the territory between the five of you. The vast wilderness outside the territory is the land that you can explore on your own, but the existing territories between each other must be clearly demarcated.
The second step is a formal truce. This is not an alliance between the three tribes of Chongchen, Gonggong, and Jiuli, but an alliance between the seven tribes of Chongchen, Gonggong, Guli, Feili, Jili, Muli, and Shanli.
Your territory is in the center of the five major departments, so something will start from Feili. The Son of Heaven can help you to open up trade routes and build cities, and you must sincerely become one of the princes of all the Chinese tribes, and promote the education of the ancients, carry out the Chinese decrees and rituals, and comfort the hearts of the people. ā
Fei Liwang: "I may be like this, but what about the other four major departments?"
Chonghua: "What they want and how they do it, that's their business. But we need to show people that only those who do this can get benefits and help. It won't be long before the people of Li Min will find out that different situations will be different. ā
Fei Li Wang asked again: "What if this move is hostile, and the Fei Li Tribes are therefore attacked by most of the other tribes?"
Chonghua sneered: "If in this case, you still have to fight against dissidents, then it is really hopeless! But you are relieved, if you suffer an unreasonable attack because of this action, the Chinese departments will not sit idly by and ignore it, and should abide by the covenant." ...... In your opinion, who else in the other four ministries is likely to follow suit?"
Fei Li Wang thought for a long time before replying: "The Qi Li Department is the most likely, and the Gu Li Department is also likely. ā
Chonghua muttered: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the Qili Division, and they are good at making utensils, and many other tribes like to recruit, so I'm not surprised that they have this idea." The Gu Li Department is located in the most remote and has the deepest resentment, why is it possible?"
Fei Li Wang pointed to the map and said, "If the five uncles clearly demarcate the territory, the Gu Li Department will be completely separated by my Fei Li and the other three major departments. And in this battle, not only Gu Li Zhong is dead, but Gu Li also suffers the greatest loss. What I need is to recuperate, and what I need is to survive in a difficult situation......"
Chonghua waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I already understand." ā
Opening roads, expanding farmland, and building cities can not only improve the situation of the Lebanese people, but also expend their main strength on internal construction rather than external conflicts. Chonghua also asked the five princes to clearly demarcate their territories and accept the recognition of all the ministries in the world and the protection of the covenant, which is also a request that no one will refuse.
So what Fei Liwang wants to do is the so-called "Bojun governing the people", and in this regard, Chongbokun and Chonghua can be called exemplary figures in various Chinese departments. Chonghua also hopes that Fei Li Wang can become a model among the five major departments of Jiuli, and more importantly, the Fei Li Department should take the lead in making changes and giving up some things in order to get others.
Chonghua finally patted Fei Liwang on the shoulder and said: "It is also a great merit to open up the Southern Wilderness for China. If you want to change the world, you must do something yourself, and today you will start with you. ā
......
"I took in a disciple named Ziqiu last year. Ziqiu was taught under my disciple, and heard many of your deeds, and admired you very much. This time, I came here with Chonghua as the deputy envoy, and Ziqiu left his hometown to travel, and he also wanted to take advantage of the newly opened road of Lord Chongbokun to visit you in Bayuan and ask you for advice.
I gave him a token on purpose, and I don't know where he has gone, but I have seen you here......"
This is in Hou Gang's tent, he is talking to Huwa, and the two have been talking for a long time. Huwa asked rhetorically: "Ziqiu, listening to this person's name, is it from the Jiqiu clan?"
Hou Gang said with a smile: "He is indeed a member of the Jiqiu clan, and he is a rare person with quick thinking. ā
When Hou Gang did not return to his hometown, Hou Lechang, the city lord of Yuncheng who was in charge of the affairs of the clan, had a good relationship with the neighboring Jiqiu clan. Hou Gang later killed Hou Lechang, and Liang Jineng committed suicide in shame, and his relationship with the Jiqiu clan was a little tense for a while. But the matter has passed, and after all, the Hou Gang clan and the Jiqiu clan are only neighbors and not enemies, so there is no need to continue to be hostile.
Conflicts such as village fights are frequent, and according to the law, there are more intermarriages and transactions between the two departments. Hou Gang deliberately accepted an outstanding talent from the Jiqiu clan as a disciple, which was actually a means of easing relations to show closeness. Under Hou Gang's training, if Ziqiu can become the head of the Jiqiu clan in the future, the two will get along more harmoniously.
Huwa also smiled: "If that Ziqiu comes to me with your token, even if I am not there, Feng Xianguo will definitely receive me well." There must be something extraordinary about the disciple you like and deliberately mention to me, and I'm curious about what kind of talent he is?"
At this moment, there was a guard outside the door to report, Lord Chonghua asked to see Feng Xianjun, and he had something to say to talk to Feng Xianjun in private. Hou Gang hurriedly got up and raised the curtain to invite Chonghua in, and he went out first to give the place to Chonghua and Huwa. Chonghua shook his head politely and said, "I won't disturb Lord Hougang to rest, I want to ask Feng Xianjun to go out for a walk together." ā
Chonghua came to find him, Huwa was not surprised, Chonghua had the jade proverb he handed over to Lu Zhang. As an envoy of the Son of Heaven, Chonghua has the responsibility to investigate all the circumstances before making a judgment. And Huwa has experienced almost all the events as a bystander, how could Chonghua not come to ask.
Hou Gang, as Chonghua's deputy envoy, actually told him everything he knew just now. But Chonghua still has to talk to Huwa alone, obviously there are other things.
Chongchen and Gonggong's military formation, of course, could not rudely directly surround the angel camp, but only camped three miles away to confront each other. Chonghua and Huwa left the camp and headed south to the bank of the river, the only open space where no idlers disturbed, and no one spoke along the way. After Chonghua stood still on the bank of the river, he said, "Is this still the same river last time?"
Last time, of course, it was the time when he toured with Danzhu in the south, Chonghua and Huwa broke up on the north bank after crossing the river. Huwa replied, "Yes and no." ā
Chonghua said very abruptly: "Feng Xianjun wants to track down the murderer of the tragedy of the Benliu Village, and the murderer is in the angel camp. ā
Huwa nodded: "I know, but I want to find out, who did the murder?"
Chonghua is right, the heads of all the forces responsible for the tragedy in Rushing Village are all in the angel camp at the moment. It is still not clear who killed the person, but it is actually very clear why the Rushing Village clan died. The poor more than 300 tribesmen in Rushing Village have become the mourners of this conflict, and they are also innocent victims and victims.
Unfortunately, they were caught in a storm and no matter how much they struggled, they were eventually swallowed up. Chonghua's responsibility is to mediate and judge the conflict between the various ministries, and the death of the Rushing Village clan at the hands of others cannot change the outcome, as long as the responsibilities of all parties are clearly determined, he will be considered to have completed his mission. But this is exactly what the tiger baby wants to pursue.
The two of them were silent for a long time, as if they had nothing to talk about, and they both looked at the sporadic fires on the other side of the river, which were the vigil bonfires lit in the camp of the Jiuli army.
After a long time, Chonghua spoke first: "Feng Xianjun has nothing to say?"
Huwa said in a sullen voice: "Yes, you're late!"
Chonghua was indeed late, he had obviously obtained the jade proverb that the tiger baby had sacrificed, but he also suggested that the Son of Heaven appoint Hou Gang as the deputy envoy, and first took a detour to Yuncheng. When he continued to set off, he had prepared so many heavy supplies, and the scale of the mission was huge, so of course the trip could not be fast.
On the surface, no one can find fault with Chonghua, and it is impossible to accuse him of deliberately delaying the trip, and he did not delay a day on the road. But everyone can see that Chonghua did not intend to arrive before the conflict is completely over.
Chonghua frowned slightly, and then said with a wry smile: "Feng Xianjun, have you ever seen the persuasion in the market?" (To be continued.) )
