Chapter 160: Wu Min's Plan for Benevolent Government
Mei Ruolan lay in Long Xiaotian's arms and said weakly: "I have been expelled from the division, the world and the earth are already no longer where I can live, what is the meaning of my unknown person living, senior brother, senior sister and second senior brother, they are right, I have married Lu Guisheng and done such a humiliating thing to make my Kunlun faction lose face, and I really have no shame to face the senior brothers and sisters of the Kunlun faction, and I have no shame to face the deceased father and mother, I might as well die." β
Long Xiaotian said to her at this time: "Who said that you are willing to marry Lu Guisheng and sacrifice your happiness in order to save your fellow disciples, and your fellow disciples can't see it, can't we also see it? Your senior brothers and sisters covet your position as the head of the sect and deliberately make up such an excuse to expel you from the sect, don't we see it? Who said that there is no place for you in the world, and Song Daxia of the Wudang faction invited you to join the Wudang faction so sincerely, how can you say that you have no place to stay?"
"The Kunlun faction is my home, I was born as a person of the Kunlun faction and died as the soul of the Kunlun faction, and now my family is gone and I have been expelled from the division, what is the difference between this and killing me. β
After finishing speaking, she raised her head and looked at Long Xiaotian at this time with a look of loss, and then said: "The person I love has never loved me in his heart, but he loves another woman, my heart is still lost in addition to loss, and now even the Kunlun faction doesn't want me anymore, what's the point of me living?"
In order to cut off Mei Ruolan's thoughts of suicide, Long Xiaotian hugged her tightly and gave her a reason and hope to live.
"No, don't say that, have you forgotten that there is still a marriage contract between us? I promised your father that I would never break my promise, if you die, how will I marry you?"
However, this sentence made Ma Xiuying at this time feel a faint pain in her heart as if she had been pricked by a needle after hearing it.
Although she knew that he said this in order to make Mei Ruolan dispel the idea of suicide in her heart, as a woman who also liked Long Xiaotian, she would feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she quietly walked away.
At this time, Mei Ruolan looked at him affectionately after hearing Long Xiaotian's promise, and asked, "Long Lang, what you said is true?"
Long Xiaotian nodded heavily, and said in a firm tone: "Of course it's true, the eldest husband will send a horse to chase after him, from today onwards, you will stay in the White Lotus Sect and be my Long Xiaotian's woman, and after my White Lotus Sect overthrows the Yuan Dynasty and completes the restoration of the Han people, I will definitely marry you as a wife and never regret it." β
However, while he said this, he felt very ashamed of Wu Min and Mei Ruolan in his heart.
Although he didn't really want to marry Mei Ruolan in his heart, he could only do so in order to give her a glimmer of hope for survival and cut off her thoughts of suicide.
At this time, Mei Ruolan couldn't help but fall into Long Xiaotian's arms, moved to tears, and called out: "Long Lang...... Ryuro ......"
At this time, in the Imperial City of Dadu, the messenger in bloody clothes found a note in the room of Broken World, only to see that this note read: "The disciple was unable to capture the heart of the little junior sister, and he was already disheartened, so he decided to leave the Imperial City of Dadu to follow General Shangguan Yu, hoping that the master would not read it." β
At this time, Wu Min walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Master standing alone in Broken World's room at the moment, he hurriedly asked, "Master, why are you standing alone in Senior Brother Broken Brother's room? Why didn't you see Senior Brother Broken Brother?"
The blood-clothed envoy secretly collected the note left on the table by Broken Tianya and replied, "You have something important to do, so you left the palace and went to Shangguan Yu's side." β
"Oh, is it? That's unfortunate, I just happened to want to go to the temple with Senior Brother and Master to discuss a big matter!"
After hearing this, the blood-clothed messenger was stunned, and asked with a puzzled face, "What is the matter of discussing a big matter?"
If Master can support the disciples in exercising benevolent government, he will be able to suppress the opposition of those courtiers. β
"What is benevolence?"
"It is to abolish the racial hierarchy and occupational hierarchy, improve the status of the Han people, let us Mongolians and Semu people sit on an equal footing with all the Han people in the world, treat the Han people in the world well, no longer collect the money and grain of the Han people, and let all the Han people in the world have food, so that the Han people will be grateful for the kindness of the imperial court, and there will be no rebellion." β
However, Wu Min's idea was ridiculous and naΓ―ve in the eyes of the blood-clothed envoy, and he quickly shook his head and said with a contemptuous smile: "Min'er, your idea is too naΓ―ve, do you think that those Han people will really be grateful to us after we implement benevolent government? We Mongols have enslaved them for so many years, and they have long hated us, how can they give up their hatred for us because of this little favor, you are really whimsical." β
However, Wu Min didn't think so, she hurriedly retorted: "No, I'm not whimsical, as the so-called knowing mistakes can improve the great way, we did wrong in the past, as long as we correct it, I think those Han people will also forgive us, at present, the Han people are more and more hostile to us Mongols, if we don't implement benevolent government and continue to enslave them like that, it will only make them more hostile to us, if the implementation of benevolent government to abolish the unfair treatment of Han people, maybe the court will have a chance to ease the conflict with the Han people." β
Hearing Wu Min say this, the blood-clothed messenger suddenly felt that what she said seemed to have some truth, and decided to help her in the relationship between master and apprentice.
"Well, you don't lose a good way, then the teacher will help you as a national teacher today!"
Wu Min arched his arms gratefully and said to Master, "Thank you, Master." β
After a while, the master and apprentice came to the court hall and stood in front of the ranks of the ministers, Yuan Huizong was sitting on the emperor's throne at this moment, and the civil and military officials were standing in the main hall waiting to discuss state affairs.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. β
"Flat!"
"Long live thanks. β
After those ministers stood up, Yuan Huizong said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something important to start today? If you have nothing to do, you can retire from the court." β
Wu Min knelt on the ground at this time and said, "Father, Min'er has something important to do today. β
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Min'er has already written a copy of the recital, and she wants to hand it over to her father in person. β
"Oh, really? Then show me the copy of the note you wrote. β
"Yes. β
After Wu Min finished speaking, he handed over the copy of the recital she had written, and after reading it, Yuan Huizong asked Wu Min: "Do you want to abolish the racial hierarchy and the occupational hierarchy?
While asking, I unconsciously questioned all the claims written by Wu Min in the fold.
Wu Min nodded heavily, and said in a firm tone: "Yes, I also ask all Mongolian nobles and landlords to open warehouses and release grain, relieve the poor people of the Han people, and prohibit the collection of money and grain from the Han people." β
However, her ideas were soon opposed by the Mongol courtiers.
One of the Mongolian ministers, Arslen, who was dressed in aristocratic clothes, arched his arms and said to Yuan Huizong: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the Han people have a humble status and a low status, and they are not worthy of being equal to us Mongols, we have been our slaves since the conquest of the Central Plains, if we let all the Han people in the world turn over, then how can our Great Yuan Dynasty have face in the eyes of the Mongols!"
Another Mongolian minister, Agoura, also objected: "Yes, Your Majesty, the racial hierarchy is an ancestral precept set by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of my Great Yuan Dynasty, and it cannot be changed. If those Han Chinese are given the same status as us Mongols, they will be able to take the opportunity to unite and rebel. β
All the other Mongolian ministers also chimed in: "Yes, please ask the emperor to take back his order!"
"Please ask the emperor to take back his order. β
When Yuan Huizong was about to speak, Wu Min arched his arms and said to Yuan Huizong: "Father, there is a reason why the courtiers decided to do this, can you please tell the ministers the reason?"
"Okay, quasi-play. β
Wu Min said to all the Mongolian ministers in the audience at this time: "The Han people have always been incompatible with us Mongolians, and it is because of these racial systems that we Mongolians can oppress the Han people and enslave the Han people at will, so that they are forced to rebel." Since I was ordered by my father to sneak into the people to inquire about the information of the various factions in the Central Plains martial arts, I have seen that our Mongolian nobles and officials and even nobodies have constantly oppressed and oppressed the Han people, so that all the Han people in the world have gritted their teeth against us Mongolians, and their hearts have long been towards the White Lotus Sect, if we do not change those wrong systems, it will only increase the excessive hatred of the Han people towards our Mongolians. Although I know that this hierarchy was set by Emperor Kublai Khan, after all, the rules are made by people, and they can be changed by people. If we exercise benevolence to the Han people, the Han people will inevitably be grateful to our court and no longer rebel, is this much better than suppressing the White Lotus Rebellion and slaughtering those rebellious Han people, the more we slaughter, the more it will arouse the hatred of the Han people towards us, it is better to shake hands with them and make peace, and share this peaceful and prosperous world?"
