Emperor Sima Yao of the Jin Dynasty said: "I heard that Shi Aiqing's family is in Wuling County, so I named the Marquis of Wuling to show glory." ”

Before Shi Ning could speak, Ran Shu whispered on the side: "Brother Shi Ning, this Shenwu general, it's not big or small, it depends on how many soldiers and horses you bring, if you bring Beifu soldiers, it will be amazing! This Wuling Marquis is a big marquis, you will be a big landlord in the future!"

"Thousands of households!" Shi Ning muttered in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Wuling County is a small county, the land is sparsely populated, and most of them are mountainous, food is scarce, and there is hunger on the road. ”

So Shi Ning got up from the seat and stood up, knelt down in the center of the hall and replied: "Weichen was born in the Wuling Mountains, Your Majesty canonized Weichen as the Marquis of Wuling, and crowned it with the title of hometown, which is already a great honor for Weichen, but I beg Your Majesty to take back the privilege of Wuling Marquis." ”

Emperor Jin was surprised and said: "You don't want a thousand households, but you only need the oligarch title of Marquis of Wuling?"

"Weichen knows the suffering of the people of Wuling County, and he can't bear to pay any more food and tax supplies!"

"It is natural for the people to pay grain and taxes, and this grain tax money is also paid to the imperial court, and it is also paid to the Marquis of Wuling, so what's the difference?" Emperor Jin said with a smile.

"That is the case, Weichen is willing to repay the grain tax originally paid to the Marquis of Wuling to the people, and I implore Your Majesty to exempt the people of Wuling County from the grain tax!" Shi Ning knelt down, hoping that Emperor Jin would agree.

Emperor Jin nodded, and said with emotion: "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, Aiqing is really righteous!" After thinking for a while, he said: "Since the southern crossing of the Great Jin Dynasty, all the fertile land in the Central Plains has been occupied by the Hu people, and the south is mostly a barbaric land, and the tax grain is very small。。。。。 ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be sympathetic to the people of the world!"

"This... Emperor Jin hesitated and asked Prime Minister Xie An's opinion: "What do you think, Taifu Xie?"

Xie An replied: "Your Majesty, in recent years, there have been continuous wars, and the people have suffered from wars. Now that the Qin State in the north has been defeated, and the Hu people are no longer able to invade the Great Jin, they can rest with the people, but if only the people of Wuling County are exempt from taxes, then how can the other states and counties that are also suffering be appeased? Especially Jingzhou, which is close to the border, and Huainan County, which has experienced the Battle of Weishui, are even more miserable, and this imperial grain tax can only be temporarily reduced but not exempted for a long time!"

Listening to Xie An's words, Emperor Jin had an idea, and said majestically: "What Taifu said is extremely true, it is exactly what I want, the imperial grain tax of Wuling County can only be temporarily reduced and not exempted for a long time!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" all the ministers at the banquet shouted, long live, long live, long live.

Shi Ning said: "This is the blessing of the people of Wuling, and Weichen will thank Your Majesty for the tens of millions of people in Wuling!"

Emperor Jin said with a smile: "I wonder if the tens of millions of people in Wuling County are thanking me or the Marquis of Wuling after hearing this good news?"

"This... Shi Ning whispered, not knowing what to say, and immediately reacted: "Of course, I thank Your Majesty! The exemption from taxes for three years is Your Majesty's imperial grace!"

The Jin Emperor said sadly: "When the time comes, the Marquis of Wuling will return to his hometown, and the people will probably forget about me long ago!"

Shi Ning was just about to speak, when Emperor Jin suddenly asked curiously: "I heard that the hometown of the Marquis of Wuling is in a very remote mountainous area in Wuling County, where there used to be a paradise mentioned by Mr. Wuliu, where a group of isolated primitive people lived?"

When it comes to the Bizi tribe in the Wuling Mountains, Shi Ning remembered the scene of the ruthless slaughter of the Bizi people by outsiders in order to find the Tianshi, and the scene of the killing of his parents and relatives is vivid. Of course, outsiders don't know what Tao Yuanming said about the paradise, and the so-called "primitive people" are actually called Bizi people.

Hatred came instantly, so Shi Ning replied: "I'm not from the Wuling Mountains, I was originally from the northern Qian, and my father escaped from the pursuit and hid in the Wuling Mountains!"

When Emperor Jin heard that the "Qian" people were so frightened that he almost slipped off the dragon chair, he panicked and said, "You。。。。。 You're a Karma!?"

"Yes, I am from the Qian tribe, and my great-ancestor is Shi Hu, the Taiwu Emperor of Zhao State!" Shi Ning said without concealment, but the Jin Emperor didn't know anything about his true life experience, and not many people knew his life experience, like the famous scholar Wang Xianzhi, Beifu Jun Xie Shi, Xie Xuandudu, Liu Yu and others knew his life experience, but they were all strictly confidential and would not say it easily.

As soon as he heard the word "Shihu", the Jin Emperor was even more frightened, but the ministers and people in the rivers and lakes were very calm, and the Jin Emperor knew that he was the only one who was kept in the dark, and Long Yan said angrily: "Okay, you dare to bully the king! There are people in the Taiji Palace, but you don't report it, so bold!"

"Come on, pull this man out and behead him!" Emperor Jin immediately ordered left and right to escort Shi Ning.

"Your Majesty, slow down!" Xie Shi and Xie Xuan, the two governors, hurriedly walked out of the banquet and stood in the middle of the main hall with their hands, Xie Xuan said first: "Your Majesty, this matter is the most clear about this matter, this Wuling Marquis is the king of Wang Xian's Lord to invest in the Beifu Army, and Weichen was also in his identity at that time, afraid that he would change, so he did not accept it, but the Marquis of Wuling was a show of Dan's heart, and cut off his finger to kill the vanguard of the Qin people of the same clan!"

Xie Xuan continued: "Although the Marquis of Wuling is a Jinren, he has no cruelty of the Jin, but is awe-inspiring for the country and the people, always thinking about my Dajin country and the people of Dajin, and is a great hero of my Dajin!"

Emperor Jin walked slowly from the dragon chair, picked up Shi Ning's left hand and looked at it, looking at the broken finger, Emperor Jin asked, "Is your finger really broken for my Great Jin?"

Shi Ning said: "I swore not to kill anyone, and I just killed my kindred, I should have committed suicide to apologize, but I have survived so far... "It's already a rundown.

Xie Xuan said: "The Marquis of Wuling has the suffering of the people in his heart, and he is dedicated to the peace of the world, so he will not lose his ambition to commit suicide in vain, so he cut off a finger to warn him not to kill again, and during the Battle of Weishui, the Marquis of Wuling only wounded and repelled the Qin soldiers, and did not kill a single person!"

Emperor Jin sat back on the dragon chair and shouted, "Righteous man!

Xie Shi also stood up and added: "Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Wuling is from the Northern Qiang tribe, he was born in Wuling County and is a son of my Great Jin!"

"Yes, yes, Marquis Wuling is my people of the Great Jin! is the great hero of my Great Jin!" After some explanations from Xie Xuan, Xie Shi and others, Emperor Jin suddenly realized that he no longer cared about Shi Ning's identity as a Jinren.

After this incident, Emperor Jin ordered the eunuchs to continue to read out the decree of reward, Liu Yu, the captain of the Beifu Army, and Xie Yao, the captain of the infantry school, made meritorious contributions to the frontline charge, and named Liu Yu as the general of the Xiao cavalry, Xie Ying as the guerrilla general, and the captain of the Yue cavalry Zhang Hu for the rescue of the rear and was named the general of the guard.

Yang Xi, the head of the Shangqing faction, led the Shangqing faction to kill the enemy bravely, and nine out of ten disciples in the faction died in battle, and the greatest sacrifice and meritorious service among the Jianghu Xia faction, the Jin Emperor specially enshrined the Shangqing faction as the state religion of the Jin Dynasty and the first authentic Taoist sect, Yang Xi was the national teacher, Cao Long and Yuan Cen contributed to the "grass and trees are soldiers" of the doubtful soldiers, laid the foundation for the victory of the war, and made miraculous achievements, so Cao Long was named the captain of the Beifu Army, in charge of the Hu officers and soldiers and the righteous armies of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, and Yuan Cen was named the captain of the Beifu Army.

"In this battle of Weishui, the Shangqing faction has made miraculous achievements, and I believe that Yang Guoshi will be able to use the glory of the state religion to revitalize the Shangqing faction and make the Shangqing faction carry forward!" said Emperor Jin.

"This is the greatest glory since the founding of my Shangqing faction, poor Yang Xi will live up to the grace of His Majesty's reinvention and carry forward the Shangqing faction!" Yang Xi was grateful, and the surviving disciples of the Shangqing faction had a stronger heart to serve the country.

Lingbao sent Ge Chaofu and Wudou Mijiao Sun Tai to lead the disciples of this faction to fight against the enemy, although they were ambushed early, but they were indispensable, and they were also named grandmasters by the imperial court, and the disciples also received rewards.

Shi Ning also presented the Jin Emperor, and tried to show the "suspicious soldiers" of the beggars to help Huainan rudder Qin Miao and other people, and the Jin Emperor played them one by one, but this Qin Miao was also a strange person, and he didn't want an official and a half official in the imperial court, so he only asked the Jin Emperor to give him a hundred taels of gold and a thousand stones of grain, and the Jin Emperor also played one by one, seeing that the beggars were in rags, and he also gave another hundred silk and satin.

After the reward, the singing and dancing in the Taiji Hall were leveled, the bell music sounded, the singer was leisurely, the dancing girl was dancing, and the excellent singer performed.

Emperor Jin and the ministers and the knights of the rivers and lakes toasted to celebrate the victory of the battle of Weishui, and everyone was immersed in joy, and the joy was indescribable.

Only Shi Ning was sullen, he was good at drinking, the palace was delicious, he just wanted to use wine to kill his sorrows, and he drank seventeen or eighteen bottles, and he was still not drunk. Ran Shu saw the clue and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Shi Ning, everyone is happy, what's wrong with you? Are you still sulking about Your Majesty saying that you are a Qianren?"

Shi Ning said: "I don't know why, I'm just unhappy and want to drink!"

Ran Shu rolled her eyes and said, "Did you remember something that made you unhappy?"

"The enmity of the parents must be avenged, but the Bizi people who participated in the killing of the Wuling Mountain Bizi tribe even participated in the Shangqing faction Yang Tianshi, the Lingbao faction Ge Chaofu and other Taoist masters, but... But I don't know who I'm going to find to avenge this murder!" Shi Ning raised another bottle of wine and drank three glasses in a row.

After drinking three bottles of wine, Shi Ning wiped the residual wine at the corner of his mouth with his hand, looked at the big fish and meat that could not be eaten at the banquet, remembered that he almost starved to death back then, crawled out of the pile of dead people to find food, and sighed slowly and said: "The people of the world are in dire straits, so hungry that they even have to eat the meat of their relatives, but I am here to eat and drink... ”
