Chapter 56: What Kind of Officer Is This?
Ren Baqian's heart fluttered when he listened to this story. Thinking about the heroic posture of that military advisor back then, one person destroyed a country, and played with several people in the palm of his hand, such a person is really admirable.
"What happened later?" asked Ren Baqian, who now wanted to know what happened to that military advisor. A person who is so powerful will definitely arrange a way out for himself, right? And why did that military advisor do these things?
Later, after the military advisor told everything, he committed suicide by taking poison with a smile in the face of everyone's anger in the face of everyone's anger. After his death, Cliff found several pieces of paper in his room, including the arrangements for some of the things that followed and the reasons for what he did.
Ren Baqian didn't expect it to end like this. That man ended up taking poison and committing suicide.
"But there are also people who say that they saw him in other places afterwards, and that he faked his death that day, who knows. Iron Knife shrugged.
Ren Baqian is more convinced that this is the end. How could a person with such a plan die like this? Maybe it was really a fake death to get out and wander incognito.
"Steward, do you know why His Majesty's surname is Qi?" said with a smile.
Ren Baqian knew that there must be a reason for the vine gourd to ask at this time, and combined with the previous story, an idea suddenly popped up: "Could it be that the person's surname is Qi?"
"Not bad. The founding emperor had nothing to worry about after the death of his family, and he never thought that he would become an emperor one day. After the death of the military advisor, he changed his surname to Qi. Some people also say that it was because the emperor changed it after reading the content on the paper. ”
"What's written on paper?" Ren Baqian said curiously. He had always wondered why that man would do such a thing, and finally even risked his own life.
Can't it just because he is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is detached from low-level interests, a person who is beneficial to the people, and he has planned all his life for the rise of the ancient clan and the establishment of Dayao, right?
"I don't know, maybe only His Majesty knows now. The vine gourd shook his head and said, "Some people say that he is a hybrid of the Hao people and my people. ”
"How do you know so much?" Ren Baqian said curiously, it stands to reason that everyone who can't pass on these things knows about it, right?
"My ancestors were also in the army back then, and they also attacked the palace. Vine gourd said. "He told my grandfather, and my grandfather told me about it. ”
"Me too. Iron Knife nodded.
"What happened to those Haoguo people and those rebels?" asked Ren Baqian again.
"Some of them have gone to the Cloud Kingdom, Chen Guo and Great Xia, and some of them are living in the south. Vine gourd said.
"Are they in the south, and they also belong to Da Yao?" asked Ren Baqian curiously. Anyway, everyone knows that they are outsiders, and they don't know anything about Da Yao, so they don't have to hide it, so if they have any curiosity, they just ask directly.
"The plains in the south near the 60,000 Great Mountains are all there, and the number of people is about the same as that of my ancient people in Dayao. Naturally, they are Dayao people, but those people are not very peaceful. The vine gourd was a little uncertain at first, and then said that when those people were restless, their eyes were also full of murder, and the iron knife sneered on the side.
It was the first time Ren Baqian had seen such expressions from the two of them.
It seems that in Dayao country, there is a great contradiction between the ancient people and the people of the original Hao country.
But think about it, even if the emperor of the Hao Kingdom is absurd, after all, it is also a civilized country, and the entire country has been wiped out by the barbarians in the mountains and forests, and he will not be willing to do so no matter what.
In the history of China, aren't there so many people who shouted against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
From the bottom of his heart, Ren Baqian has a little sympathy for those people in Haoguo. But now I seem to be on the same front as the ancient clan, and I have initially integrated in.
Ren Baqian can only sympathize with it in his heart, which is also because of the same history. He himself has no sense of identity with the Hao Kingdom, and the two sides are very strange to him, but the Gu clan is closer.
Ren Baqian calculated in his heart, Dayao has thirty or forty million people, and I don't know if it includes those remnants of the Hao Kingdom. After inquiry, it was determined that it did include the remnants of the Hao Kingdom, so there were only one or two million ancient tribes, and most of them were still in the mountains.
However, no one knows how many ancient tribes there are in the 60,000 mountains. The 60,000 mountains are too big, and the more you go inside, the more precipitous they become, and the more fierce beasts there are, and they are powerful. Until now, no one has crossed the 60,000 Mountains to see what the other side is like.
The current statistics of the ancient people only include the ancient villages in the deep mountains that sent troops at the beginning.
Ren Baqian asked some more questions, and both of them answered, and Ren Baqian finally had a certain understanding of Da Yao's situation.
Those original Hao people and rebels, in the original against the rebels, the army and the rebels fought with the Gu tribe three times and were defeated, almost all of them were wiped out, if it were not for the Gu tribe also suffered heavy losses, and several other countries were also ready to move, Daxia directly sent troops to occupy several border cities, and the Gu tribe was afraid that they would all be wiped out.
In this case, both sides took a step back, and the rebels and most of the Hao people in the south were similar to a model of self-government, which was arranged according to what the military division had left on paper at the end.
It is possible to have a small number of troops, and the people of the Hao country govern the people of the Hao country, but the largest is the range of a city, and the city is the unit. A small number of troops can be maintained in the city, and the number of equipment is quite limited.
In addition to this, the Gu tribe was superior to them in other aspects and was not harsh.
Da Yao still maintains the simplicity of the ancient clan as a whole, and is not strict with the remnants of the Hao Kingdom, in fact, except for the monarch of the Hao Kingdom, he has no resentment towards ordinary people.
So the general situation is that you manage yourselves, don't get into trouble, don't make small moves, and we don't bother to pay attention to you. If something goes wrong, the army of the ancient clan will arrive immediately.
Even so, there are still people who don't die and make small moves from time to time. Coupled with the blood feud of the first few major wars, the contradictions have become more and more intense over the years.
Of course, there is the most important point in this, there is no one in the Dayao Dynasty who is an official of the remnants of the Hao Kingdom, and the highest thing that the remnants of the Hao Kingdom are able to be the masters of a city and guard the one acre and three points of land. Few of the remnants of the Hao Kingdom live in other places, and the two sides have not integrated at all, and it seems that the Gu clan has not thought about this, and has no intention of integrating the other party into themselves, which is also one of the reasons why they have always been restless.
After all, there are always people with ambitions. A city lord does not satisfy them. After all, the city lord is still where he is still one acre and three points of land, and there are always people who want a wider sky.
But that's not something Ren Baqian needs to worry about.
Ren Baqian probably guessed from these past events why the empress reacted more after hearing the god list.
Many of these places are very similar to the experiences of the ancient people.
The three of them sat and chatted here, not far away, three big men dressed as guards came over, the first one was Shi Hu, Ren Baqian saw it and got up just about to meet him, so he heard Shi Hu say: "Ren Baqian takes the order!"
Ren Baqian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do at all, whether to kneel on one knee, kneel on both knees, or stand to pick it up?
"Take charge and get down on one knee to receive orders. Shi Hu knew Ren Baqian's situation, and reminded in a lower voice.
Ren Baqian hurriedly did so.
Only then did Shi Hu open a scroll with black around and white in the middle: "Emperor Dayao's edict, Xuan, Ren Baqian will tell the story for the Qingxin Palace, so far." ”
After listening to this, Ren Baqian looked at a loss, what is the situation of the Qingxin Palace's storytelling? Is there still an official position responsible for telling stories to the emperor?
"Ren is in charge, and you still don't accept the order?" Shi Hu said in a low voice.
"Minister, take the order. Ren Baqian hurriedly raised his hands, as shown on TV.
Receiving the scroll in his hand, Ren Baqian's mind was still confused, and he didn't know what the situation was now.
is promoted, that's for sure, I was still a bad person before, but now I can receive the holy decree, this must be a promotion. And then what do you do? Where do you live?
"Lord Ren, congratulations. Shi Hu changed his words and hugged his fists.
"Brother Shi, don't call me an adult, it's better to call me Brother Ren. Ren Baqian pulled Shi Hu to the side, and asked at the same time, "Brother Shi, what kind of official is this?"
Shi Hu shook his head with a strange expression: "I don't know." ”
Ren Baqian was dumbfounded. Even he doesn't know? Could it be that the empress specially named herself a storyteller in order to listen to the story?
