Chapter 20 Count
Just a few days later, Ku Xian rode to Shengle City.
Nowadays, the system of the Tuoba Department is quite strange.
Xianbei has always had no magistrates, the tribes are gathered together, the leaders of each tribe are responsible for their own affairs, and do not interfere with each other, and Liwei is only their nominal co-master.
And Tuoba Liwei is quite a bit of Zhou Tianzi's feeling at the beginning, and the leaders of various departments have power and obligations to him.
The same is true of the official system, the officials of the weak force cannot command those leaders, and the leaders will also have their own officials under their accounts, and everyone will not interfere with each other.
But Tuoba Liwei is very dislike this kind of alliance.
While this approach allows Xianbei to quickly form a powerful alliance, it is also very easy to disintegrate.
It's good to get together and disperse!
If they encounter a powerful neighbor who threatens them, or if there is such a prominent figure as Tuobaliwei, they will quickly unite and form an alliance, and soon grow into a powerful force in the steppe.
But the problem is that once the unifying lord dies, or if there is a major turn of events outside, then they will quickly collapse and flee separately.
There is no such thing as hereditary replacement.
Li Wei especially yearns for the system of the Central Plains, like Cao Chao, who can decide all major events in the world and can continue from generation to generation, is what he wants.
But Xianbei seems to be the only one who thinks like this, only Liwei and his sons, and the rest of the ministers and even the heads of the ministries are against it.
After Liwei got power, in order to achieve this goal, it carried out a series of reforms in China.
He exchanged letters with Zhonghui, and according to Zhonghui's wishes, he summoned some tribal lords as his ministers, and at the same time ordered the establishment of regions, divided counties, and then arranged for tribal leaders to govern.
For these behaviors of Tuoba Liwei, the tribal adults only felt very uneasy.
The elderly Tuobali sat on the bed, and someone stood beside him, reading to him.
Liwei is too old, and his vision is becoming more and more blurry.
He can't read books anymore, so he can only listen to them through others.
At this moment, a close minister suddenly came to report, saying that Ku Xian asked to see him.
Hearing the news, Li Wei frowned.
Ku Xian is still very talented, and Li Wei has entrusted him with a lot of things, which makes Ku Xian have a high reputation in the tribe, and everyone respects him very much.
However, the shortcomings of this guy, Liwei is also very clear.
This man loved money as much as his life, and he fought with the leaders of his clan for the sake of any livestock.
Every time I think of this, Li Wei becomes more and more envious of Cao Chao.
Look at the Great Wei Emperor!
What a brilliant minister he is, all of them are so flawless!
Liwei still sent someone to greet Ku Xian and gave him the respect he deserved.
"Chief!"
It stands to reason that Ku Xian should call Liwei an adult, after all, he is a Xianbei adult.
But Liwei didn't like such a title, and he preferred to use a title like Shan Yu, or His Majesty.
Li smiled and said, "You came in a hurry, is it because there is some good news?" ”
Ku Xian sat beside him and said with a sad face: "Where is the good news, since you asked me to do these things, they haven't given me any good looks, they have been staring at me all day long, hoping that I will make a mistake, so that I can come to you to report it!" ”
Li smiled, "That's good news, to be so jealous of them, it means that you've done a great job!" ”
"Someone! Ten horses! ”
Suddenly, a servant walked out, Ku Xian was stunned, lowered his head, and had a trace of entanglement on his face.
"Don't be afraid of them, I did this for their good, over the years, Xianbei has united several times, and scattered several times, and has been bullied by foreigners all the year round, and it is not compared with the Great Wei, it is the Goguryeo that is not a weapon, and it can continue for several generations, no matter how many times it is pursued, it can protect itself and not perish."
"But what about us?"
"Aren't we even as good as Goguryeo?"
"One of our warriors is as good as five people in Goguryeo!"
"It's just that we're perpetuating bad habits that we can't grow up with."
Tuoba Liwei spoke his thoughts again, and he asked again, "What happened to you this time?" ”
Ku Xian said: "They are extremely unhappy with the way we appoint and dismiss officials, and the officials we have sent to various ministries have also suffered all kinds of difficulties, and even two officials have been killed. ”
"What?!"
Hearing this, Tuoba Liwei couldn't sit still.
"They dare to kill the officials I sent?!"
Liwei's eyes widened, he expected these people to be dissatisfied, but he never thought that they would kill the people he sent.
After governing Xianbei for so many years, someone dares to attack him? ?
He immediately asked, "Who did it?!" ”
"I heard that he was killed by thieves, but no one admitted it, and they all said that he was wronged."
Liwei immediately got up, "Someone! ”
Ku Xian hurriedly blocked in front of him, "Please calm your anger!" If you come forward to solve this matter, there will definitely be a rebellion in the country, and now that there are Wei people eyeing it, there must be no civil strife at this time! ”
Hearing Ku Xian's words, Li Wei sat down helplessly.
He is really helpless, if he doesn't change the law, the people of Wei will clean himself up when they are ready, and if he changes the law, his own people will make trouble in advance.
He looked at Ku Xian on the side, "This matter, it is better to leave it to you to be responsible, killing the official, this matter is absolutely intolerable, someone must pay the price for this, so as to deter the rest of the people, but it must be solved quickly, and it must not be delayed." ”
"Yui."
Ku Xian received the order and was about to get up and leave, but Liwei grabbed his hand, and Liwei said very sincerely: "Over the years, your credit is the greatest, and I have seen all of this." ”
"When the big things are completed this time, you will be my prime minister, responsible for managing all the major things."
Ku Xian was silent for a moment before he said, "Thank you, sir." ”
Li smiled and sent him out.
Walking on the road, Kuxian's expression was extremely complicated, he walked out of the palace quickly, got on his horse, and galloped towards his tribe.
When he arrived at his tribe, Ku Xian directly ordered the warriors in the clan to take out the axes and other iron tools in the treasury and polish them to the sharpest state.
The Karasuma tribe was surprised by this.
They didn't know why the king went to the capital and had to sharpen his axe when he returned.
But they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to follow Kuxian's request, and the whole clan began to get busy.
And those who were staring at Ku Xian's every move on weekdays naturally discovered Ku Xian's strange behavior.
What's going on?
Everyone couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so they sent a tribal leader who was very friendly with Ku Xian to Ku Xian to inquire about the situation.
"Best friends!!"
Ku Xian greeted this friend who came to visit very warmly.
He led his friends around the tribe, and then returned to his tent, where they ate wine and meat together.
They had eaten a lot of wine, and the friend smiled and asked, "I heard the sound of sharpening knives in your tribe, and you want to slaughter a hundred sheep for me?" Or are you going to kill all of us? ”
Hearing his words, Ku Xian's face instantly became a little complicated.
The friend was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
Ku Xian looked around, and then motioned for him to come closer to him.
"I'll tell you something, but don't tell anyone!"
"Good! Never pass it on! ”
"My lord was extremely angry because of the killing of officials, he felt that there were leaders who had been bribed by the Wei people, and he was ready to arrest the leaders of the various ministries, interrogate them one by one, and execute those who had accepted bribes from the Wei people, and replace them with his own people to become the leaders."
Hearing this, the friend's face was terrified, "How can you do this?!" ”
"My lord thinks that killing the officials he sent is a rebellion and must be eradicated, and it must be eradicated, so I have been preparing for it all these days."
"In a few days, the lord will set up a feast, let the chiefs go to Shengle, and then take down all the people on the spot."
"The relationship between the two of us is the closest, and I will only tell you about this matter, you are ready, and when the time comes, you will ask the adults for their sins, and maybe the adults can forgive your crimes."
He jerked to his feet, "I'm still"
Ku Xian hurriedly grabbed his hand, "I treat you as a close friend, so I told you about this, you can't run away, if you run away, the adults will definitely find out, and when the time comes, I will be arrested and executed!" ”
The friend shuddered for a moment and looked at Ku Xian in front of him again, a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, how could I do something like selling my friends?"
"You're my best friend!"
Ku Xian breathed a sigh of relief and patted the other party's shoulder with a smile, "I know what kind of person you are, I believe in you!" ”
The two sat down to eat again, but obviously, the other party was no longer interested in eating and drinking, and was worried.
Whether he has taken bribes from the Wei people, he knows best, and he didn't hide this matter too much, if the adults want to investigate this matter, then he himself will definitely die, and no one can save himself.
Thinking of this, this person's eyes became more and more sad.
Ku Xian soon got drunk and fell asleep.
The friend hurriedly got up, told the attendants to take care of Kuxian, and quickly fled from here.
Only at this time did Ku Xianfang slowly open his eyes and look into the darkness in the distance.
He knew these people all too well.
He looked at the people under his command coldly, "Get ready to leave, load everything into the carriage, throw away what you can't take away, set off towards Wei Realm overnight tonight, and before everyone finds out, you must go to Wei Territory." ”
The henchmen also knew about their own king's affairs, and immediately began to prepare.
