Chapter 330: Pei Xian persuaded to surrender
With Liu Tai's support, Li Ju completely let go of his thoughts.
In the final analysis, it is not the Jin court dominated by the big families, but the Han Dynasty under Liu Tai.
In troubled times, the family has been severely weakened by the existence of rules and can only use its own strength.
Liu Tai's foundation is not a family, for Liu Tai is a force that can be united, but it is also the ruling class.
Liu Tai gave conditions for the family to be obedient, but if the family was embarrassed, thinking that they were still as special as the Jin court, then Liu Tai chose to physically destroy it humanely, after all, he couldn't argue the scriptures, and he would have to kill people!
In this case, the Pei clan in Hedong wants to rely on the control of his Pei family over the Hedong region, as well as the population hidden by some of the troubled people who fled to Hedong, and thinks that they have the right to run rampant on one side of the land, so they think too highly of themselves.
Of course, you can't blame the Pei family in Hedong, after all, since ancient times, it has been the family that has controlled one side of the land.
There is land, population, family education, and connections, even if the dynasty wants to come down to collect taxes, it must be nodded by the local wealthy families to collect taxes locally.
Even for some particularly powerful families at the grassroots level, even if the Zhu Jiu clan involves them, they can protect the daughter of the Zhu Jiu clan, at least the Sima clan turns a blind eye to these families.
Therefore, even if the war is chaotic, even if Liu Tai has become a general trend, the Hedong Pei family still wants to persist as much as possible and strive for more interests and privileges for the family.
After all, whether it is a field or a slave, it is really heart-wrenching to hand over the roster to Liu Tai to collect taxes from now on.
Liu Tai didn't have much feeling for Hedong Pei's, after all, his deepest impression of Hedong Pei's should be Pei Xingjian.
It's a pity that there are at least three hundred years before he was born, and if the Pei family in Hedong really doesn't know the goods, he will kill him.
However, Li Ju still wants to save the Pei family in Hedong again, after all, the Han family can unite if they can, even if the Pei family in Hedong doesn't want to unite, then he has to do a good job on the surface, so he sent Pei Xian, who is in charge of etiquette under his subordinates, to persuade.
Pei Xian followed Xun Xuan to take refuge with him when he defeated Wang Jun, but he didn't pay as much attention to Xun Xuan, who studied history.
Because there are not many people who pay attention to etiquette on his side, after all, in addition to sacrificing soldiers, he doesn't attach great importance to etiquette at other times, so Pei Xian has no sense of existence.
Now is the troubled times, Liu Tai's requirements are to simplify everything from simplicity to simplicity, saving and saving, money is not spent on ceremonies, only when Pei Xian is used every year when praying for blessings and soldiers sacrifice.
It's not that Liu Tai doesn't pay attention to Pei Xian, but that he first led an army of 100,000 to attack himself and Shi Le and was easily defeated, and then assisted in garrisoning Youzhou City, and Youzhou City didn't last long at all, which made Liu Tai very suspicious of Pei Xian's ability.
Naturally, he will not be dismissed from doing some real power work, after all, the Jin court has already paid the tuition fees of 200,000 soldiers for this, and he really doesn't need to expect Pei Xian to rely on the crowd to pile up a commander or a capable minister.
Because of this, Pei Xian is on Liu Tai's side, and he is only responsible for court etiquette, seal carving and other affairs.
And these relatively easy idle affairs that do not need to bear heavy responsibilities, Pei Xian himself can handle them easily.
Especially with Liu Tai taking the Central Plains and the Jin army Luoyang, there is more and more unification of the entire north, Pei Xian is more or less looking forward to the fact that if Liu Tai can really prosper the Han Dynasty, the Pei family in Hedong, where he is located, will have a future.
Then the Pei family in this era was more chaotic than the Zhuge family in the late Han Dynasty, such as Pei Dun went to the Jin court, such as Pei Wei and Pei Kai took refuge in Murong Hao, and the current Pei family in Hedong is Pei Jing, who has no talent, went home to manage it and so on.
At this time, Pei Xian also followed Li Ju worriedly.
Because Pei Xian surrendered to Liu Tai at the beginning, he has seen too much Liu Tai's ruthlessness towards the family along the way.
understands that Liu Tai doesn't care about the rules of the family at all, as long as the family is unwilling to act according to Liu Tai's rules, then Liu Tai will directly destroy the family.
Originally, this kind of thing would definitely cause the family to backlash, but the problem is that Wang Jun, Shi Le, and Liu Yao, who are supported by the family, at least these three families are willing to reuse the family, and have promised the family corresponding privileges, but all of this family have been killed by Liu Tai.
What does this make the family do, they can only listen to Liu Tai's reasoning, because if they don't listen to Liu Tai's reasoning, they will have to talk about physics.
And Pei Xian has been by Liu Tai's side for a long time, and knowing Liu Tai's temper, he decisively rushed back to Hedong Pei's family.
Because he really didn't want the Pei clan in Hedong to exterminate the clan, especially Liu Tai was very skilled in exterminating the clan, physically destroying the Pei family's lineage, and immediately organized the local people to divide the Pei's land, liberate the Pei clan's forced labor into the collective farm, and finally even the Pei's family did not hesitate to copy the family and send it to the Han library.
There are even rumors recently that Liu Tai wants to copy all these books, put them all in the Pinshu Pavilion, and open them to the imperial examination scholars who have Luoyang household registration and Jinshi background, but I don't know if this thing is true.
But no matter what, if the Pei family obstructs Liu Tai, it will definitely be eaten and wiped clean, and there will be no scum left.
Even in the future, the world's scholars have achieved success in their studies and attained the exam, and when they travel to Hedong, they will spit on the Pei family in Hedong.
To be honest, Pei Xian felt suffocated when he thought about such a situation, so Pei Xian didn't hesitate, and decisively went to Pei's house in Hedong with Li Ju, because he really didn't want his family to be tired of it!
At this moment, Pei Jing rejected Li Ju, but he didn't stay in his home to drink and have fun.
As a guy in the Pei family who has no talent to be left behind to guard his hometown, Pei Jing's rare advantage is to be cautious.
Especially after rejecting Li Ju's surrender, Pei Jing trained his family, strengthened the dock fort, and made good defense facilities.
To tell the truth, Pei Jing knew very well that it was impossible for the Pei clan in Hedong to beat Liu Tai's big man.
But what he needs to do is to let Liu Tai not easily take Peijiawu Fort, form a stalemate with the army sent by Liu Tai, and garrison it for a year or two.
All in all, first show your strength, and then see the opportunity to take refuge in Liu Tai, this is the safest way for Jia Xu, an old yin professor, to teach the world how to take refuge in the past, so the family will learn more or less.
Of course, for Jia Xu, when Cao Cao was firing the cannon, he really wanted to kill Cao Cao.
But unexpectedly, Cao Caofu had a big life, and after filling in a humanoid Gundam Dian Wei, a top heir Cao Ang, and a peerless BMW, he finally escaped smoothly and became one of the few guys in the entire Three Kingdoms who broke Jia Xu's plan.
Even so, Jia Xu still found an opportunity to turn enemies into friends and keep the peace of the rest of his life, which is extraordinary.
And Pei Jing only paints cats and tigers.
"Family master, Pei Yuzhou is back!" At this time, someone came over to report to Pei Jing.
"What Pei Yuzhou?" Pei Jing was a little flustered when he heard the report of his subordinates, but he didn't react.
"Pei Xian, Pei Yuzhou!" The subordinate hurriedly reported to Pei Jing that this was the appointment and dismissal given to Pei Xian by the Jin Court.
"It's Xianzhi, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" When Pei Jing heard this, he said, "Please, please!" ”
Almost not long, soon Pei Xian came to Pei Jing and saluted Pei Jing obediently, because Pei Jing was not only the head of the family, but also a figure of his father's generation, Pei Xian did not dare to take any offense in etiquette.
And Pei Jing grabbed Pei Xian's hand and said with emotion, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
Pei Xian listened to Pei Jing's words and sighed: "I didn't expect that in today's troubled times, I would have the opportunity to return to my hometown one day!" ”
However, Pei Xian looked at Pei Jing at the moment and said straight to the point, "Now that the head of the chaotic family is now in trouble, don't you know that the catastrophe of the whole clan is coming?!" ”
"Don't bluff me! I'm afraid that Liu Tai asked you to come over as a lobbyist! Pei Jing reacted when he heard Pei Xian's words.
Hearing Pei Jing's words, Pei Xian said, "If it weren't for the family, I would be in charge of etiquette in Dahan, why should I come here in person!" ”
When Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, he couldn't help but be in awe.
After all, since ancient times, only worship and Rong cannot be compared with others, Pei Xian is in charge of etiquette under Liu Tai, so no matter how you look at it, he is a big official!
Now that he has come all the way, if it weren't for the Pei family in Hedong, why would he be like this, Pei Jing was moved!
And Pei Xian himself is an honest person, so naturally he will not lie to others, after all, he is really an official who manages etiquette.
It's just that he, an official who manages etiquette, is not reused by Liu Tai, and this opportunity is almost his last chance.
If he still can't catch it now, I'm afraid that Liu Tai will not send him any more important tasks in the future.
Therefore, Pei Xian also continued, "Now that the Han King has leveled both sides of the Yellow River to smoothly restore China and obtain the old capital Luoyang, the east of the west of the river is in the hands of the Han King, and now the King of Han has sent an envoy to recruit, why doesn't the head of the family surrender!" ”
"He wants us to hand over the account books of the fields and acres where our Hedong Pei family is located, and he also wants my Hedong Xue family's conscription Ding nationality, you say, is this to recruit our Hedong Pei family, this is the foundation of my Pei family, he wants my Pei family's life!"
"Head of the house, give it to you!" Pei Xian took a deep breath and said solemnly to Pei Jing.
"You, you, you! You are still not the Pei family, do you know how much tax we need to pay according to the current policy of the Han Dynasty.
You gave a word, but it is the foundation accumulated by our Pei ancestors for generations! ”
Pei Jing didn't expect that Pei Xian, who he thought was his own family, would come over to persuade him like this.
And Pei Xian shouted to Pei Jing, "Uncle Cousin, you are sober, the King of Han has already sent 10,000 armor soldiers to wait outside our Xue family's dock fort!"
There are more than 10,000 armor soldiers, and Li Ju is here to destroy my Pei clan in Hedong!
If you want to exterminate the Pei clan in Hedong, then you will cut off Xian's head and throw it to Li Ju, I see that you go to Jiuquan, what face do you have to see my Pei ancestors! ”
When Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, he was a little panicked, but said to Pei Xian:
"What are you talking about, now that the foreign enemy is on the side, how can our Pei clan have internal fighting.
Just let me hand over the Tian Book and the Ding Book, I am really unwilling, so how can Liu Tai deal with our Hedong Pei family like this.
Without our family, how can Liu Tai govern the country! ”
"The King of Han has a military history in his hands, there are government soldiers, and recently there is a move from the imperial examination, for him, it is the family that betrayed the Han Dynasty, except for the Chu family, the Yang family, who was a minister of the dragon from the beginning, or the old ministers of the Shu State who supported the Shu Han, the family who chose to stand Cao Wei Sima Clan, in his opinion, are all people with original sin!"
Pei Xian sighed, "So he criticizes the family of the world, and he doesn't trust the family of the world, if the family wants to surrender to him, they must accept his rules!" ”
"Such a single husband, he will inevitably be counterattacked, the whole world joins forces, he is just a lonely family, what is so terrible!"
Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, but he didn't feel Liu Tai's terror, but said to Pei Xian.
"But the problem is, even though he is a single husband, he is also the strongest only husband in the world, even if he is tyrannical, he is only tyrannical to the family!" Pei Xian sighed, "Uncle Clan, you can't resist the anger of his Son of Heaven." ”
"Son of Heaven, he is also worthy, if he doesn't rely on the family, how can he become the Son of Heaven!" Pei Jing said unwillingly.
"The troubled times gave the Han King a chance to change the rules, and although the family was strong, they had to defeat him.
But the problem is, Wang Jun, Shi Le, Liu Yao, Zu Ti...... How many famous generals have risen in troubled times, and who has done it.
Even if those of us in the family under Liu Tai's command don't want it, as long as he loses, then there will inevitably be people in the family he treats harshly.
But no, in the face of a commander who has never lost so far, who dares to be the first to raise the flag against the Han King!
Uncle clan, are you going to take the foundation of our Hedong Pei clan as a bet to hold high the banner against Liu Tai!?
Are you willing to bet on the family under Liu Tai's command?! ”
Listening to Pei Xian's words, the momentum on Pei Jing's body weakened a little bit.
Because he knows very well that he can't beat it, he really can't beat it, and that's the core of the problem.
As long as someone can break Liu Tai's undefeated myth, then the family under Liu Tai's rule has to be a guy with a bad heart, after all, the Jin court is too comfortable, and the current Han is too harsh.
"If there is no help from our family, how can Liu Tai inherit the affairs of tax collection and servitude!" Pei Jing's momentum couldn't help but weaken.
After Pei Jing knew that Liu Tai was indeed determined to sweep away the family, Pei Jing didn't dare to gamble.
It's like the bald man on the other side of the sea knows that the rabbit really has the determination to fight, and after the eagle sauce can't support it, it's about seven percent that wants to be alone, after all, before the pain falls on him, he will always hit the mouth.
"Hanwang has its own new tax system, so you don't need to worry!" Pei Xian said very solemnly to Pei Jing,
"Uncle clan, let me make it clear, don't say anything after handing over the Tian Book and Ding Book, because the laws of the Han Dynasty, especially those related to taxation, are strict!"
"I understand!" Pei Jing looked at Pei Xian with a look that I understood.
Pei Xian knows very well that when he is persuaded to surrender, he can still threaten and admonish and move with affection, but this kind of matter involving interests really needs to be taught by things, not by people, otherwise no family can change it.
"However, no matter how serious the tax problem is, it is only a raid, and the Pei family in Hedong will not be wiped out!"
Pei Xian really can't control the next thing.
Moreover, with the implementation of Gou Chun's tax procedures in the Central Plains, it is almost time to return to Luoyang.
"Gou Chun, you persecuted Zhongliang and acted for the tiger, and the whole family will not die well!" At this moment, the family of the Zhou family in Changyi issued a vicious curse against Gou Chun!
"Hmm!" Gou Chun replied, glanced at the head of the Zhou family, and said calmly:
"Well, the original bureau maids still want to be in the Teaching Division, since that's the case, then your whole family should go down to accompany them!"
The Zhou family couldn't help but tremble, and the look on their faces became even more desperate.
