Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

How could the Tuoba family have an imperial edict? Aren't the four major families facing the imperial court?

Full of doubts, Yan Shengrui stretched out his hand and carefully unfolded the imperial edict. The general meaning of the imperial edict was to let the Tuoba family supervise the Southern Border King, the other two major families and the various tribes in the Southern Border. As long as they don't rebel, no matter what they do, it doesn't matter. If they rebel openly, the head of the Tuoba family can take this imperial decree to find any reigning emperor in the Qing Dynasty and ask him to send troops to attack the King of Southern Borders. The inscription is Emperor Qing Taizu Ren, that is to say, this is an imperial decree from the founding emperor of the Daqing Kingdom to the Tuoba family. It has been guarding the southern border for the imperial court for hundreds of years.

After reading the imperial decree, everyone's heart became heavy. The imperial decree of the founding emperor of the Qing Kingdom is equivalent to the ancestral edict. As long as the Jiang family's Kang family's Yao family and the tribes in the southern border are still there, the Tuoba family cannot be exposed, and it will never be exposed. It must be guarded on this land. No wonder Tuoba Wang said that this is a curse. For the Tuoba family, what is this not a curse?

"What do you think?"

I don't know how long it took, Ling Jingxuan broke the silence with a deep voice. Before that, he didn't expect that Emperor Taizu still had such a hand. If they followed Emperor Taizu's wishes, their plan would undoubtedly be huge. It has changed, but, not to mention whether the descendants of the Tuoba family will change after many years, this imperial decree is also very fair to the Tuoba family. They have been bound by it for hundreds of years, do they have to be bound forever? ?

"Waste!"

Yan Shengrui gritted his teeth and spit out a word. He could imagine why Emperor Taizu left such an imperial decree, but let the family guard the imperial decree from generation to generation, and the imperial court treated them as mortal enemies. It would be too cruel to them. , if he directly presses the border this time, will the family that has guarded the southern border for the Yan family for hundreds of years be wiped out by him together? Even if he avoided the mistake, what about their descendants? Let the hero chill, how can his Yan royal family last for a long time? Don't know if he doesn't know, since he already knows, he won't allow this mistake to continue.

"For such an important matter, why didn't the Emperor Taizu leave any message to future generations?"

Zeng Shaoqing touched his chin and asked puzzledly. In common sense, even if this is an extremely secret matter, it should not be known to others, at least the previous emperors should know it, right?

"Don't forget, Emperor Taizu went out from the southern border. In other words, after the founding of the Daqing Kingdom, most of the courtiers were from the southern border, or those who maintained close contact with the southern border. Also, I heard It is said that Emperor Taizu only married one queen in his life. According to Zhuohan, he had already married a wife when he ruled the southern border. The queen must also be from the southern border, and the descendants and their children may also have a relationship with the southern border. The close connection, once let them know about this matter, not only will the Tuoba family not be able to keep it, the Southern Border King will be dissatisfied, and even the Taizu Emperor will end up being suspicious of the hero. There are too many unpredictable factors, so that As for this imperial edict, only the emperor Taizu and the head of the Tuoba family knew about it, and with the death of Emperor Taizu, this matter was completely silent, and only the head of the Tuoba family knew about it."

As for the history of Qing Kingdom, Ling Jingxuan had already studied it. Emperor Taizu could be regarded as a wise man. Although it was true that this matter was not very kind, in terms of the situation at the time, the mountains and rivers in the southern border were high and the rivers were far away. Possessing a small amount of military power to control the southern country, I am afraid that is the only way to do it, right? Anyway, in a word, what the emperor asks is right, there is no human rights to talk about in this era, but since the emperor Taizu will entrust the Tuoba family, presumably the Tuoba family is also the founding hero, right? Wouldn't he be afraid of the cold for a hero who founded the country like this? Fortunately, the Tuoba family has guarded this imperial decree for generations, but if there is a person who turns against the bones, becomes jian with the Jiang family, and releases rumors that the Taizu Emperor is mean and heroic, the Daqing country is afraid that it will experience some ups and downs. .

"Shaoqi, you go to Yunhai City tomorrow and tell Tuobawang that I want to see him."

Yan Shengrui said in a condensed voice without any discussion, no matter what the last reason for Emperor Taizu was, he could not let the Tuoba family keep this imperial decree, not only for the Tuoba family's good, but also for the great Qingguo is good, if the Tuoba family becomes the dominant family in the future, and they have a rebellion, wouldn't their current efforts be in vain?

"Yeah." After understanding the ins and outs of the whole thing, Yuan Shaoqi couldn't help but feel injustice for the Tuoba family, wishing they would be relieved as soon as possible.

"and many more"

Generally speaking, no one dares to go against Yan Shengrui's decision, and Ling Jingxuan rarely overturns it, but after thinking for a while, he made a rare voice again, and everyone looked at him in confusion. Don't agree with Yan Shengrui's decision? "What are you thinking? I don't mean to disagree."

Seeing what they were thinking at a glance, Ling Jingxuan laughed irritably, and then said seriously: "Sheng Rui means what I mean, it's enough for the Tuoba family to guard the southern border for so many years, we can't let them continue to guard it any longer. , but for the time being we can't meet the Tuoba family, the Kang family still has the last breath left. If it is revealed at this time that the Tuoba family has also surrendered to us, they will have a third choice, giving everything to the Jiang family for free. , fight with us to kill the fish and the net. With the money from the Kang family, the Jiang family may not stop and choose to fight with us to the end. Although we may not be afraid of him, Patriarch Zhuohan has a saying that is quite right. Nan After all, Xinjiang is the territory of our Qing country. When we fight on our own country, the last thing we lose is our Qing country's own strength. The most important thing is that in any war, it is always the common people who are the saddest. If it is resolved, it is best to resolve it peacefully.”

Of course, it is only limited to the battle within the country, and it is natural

Best of all, if it sublimates into a conflict between two or more countries, then there is no such thing as peace.

"what do you mean?"

Not wanting to use his brain to guess what his plans were, Yan Shengrui asked directly.

"It's very simple, let the Tuoba family endure for a while longer, and wait until we have completely cleaned up the Kang family. As long as the Kang family's business lines and financial resources are all in our hands, it is impossible for the Jiang family to think about it or not. Just relying on the financial resources of a family, I think it is not enough to support a war, even if they have the support of the tribes in the mountains, they still hold the legendary gold mine and iron ore in their hands."

"It makes sense, as long as we don't send the Kang family to the Jiang family's side, and when we clean up his Kang family, the Tuoba family will declare their surrender to the imperial court. As a result, the Jiang family will be alone and will collapse sooner or later. As for the Tuoba family It's the same thing when they announce their surrender and see you again, they have worked so hard for so many years, and the court should give them the rewards they deserve."

Chu Yunhan nodded in agreement. If the Tuoba family announced their surrender now, it would be a big disadvantage for their plan.

"Then let's decide. Tomorrow I will let Yan Yi go personally and explain to Tuoba Wang what we mean. Since they are willing to issue this imperial decree, they probably don't mind waiting a few more days."

Yan Shengrui agreed after a little thought. He would bring that imperial decree back to the capital. It was up to Xiao Qi to decide whether to put it into the royal family's palace cabinet, which was responsible for keeping the imperial decrees of successive emperors, or to destroy it. Anyway, he would never allow it again. The imperial decree continued to stay in Tuoba's house.

"I find something very strange. According to the information we had before, the Supreme Emperor had been to the southern border. Why didn't the Tuoba family come up with the imperial edict at that time?"

Ling Jingxuan thought about it and couldn't help but raise his doubts. According to Zhuohan, the head of the Jiang family was still very good at that time. They voluntarily went out of the Southern Border in exchange for peace. Since there is no Southern Border anymore Wang, the Yao family and the Kang family don't have the same influence as hundreds of years ago. The tribes in the mountains are led by the Wusun clan, so they shouldn't be threatening. If the Tuoba family doesn't exist, why don't they Take out the imperial decree and ask the Supreme Emperor to set them free? Or go back to court with the Supreme Emperor?

"I'm afraid they didn't take it out, but they were dusted again!"

No one present had more say than Yan Shengrui. After all, they were his ancestors. Seeing what he said with certainty, Ling Jingxuan and the others seemed to realize something. Said: "The first emperor of the Supreme Being is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty who pioneered the land. Such people are unparalleled in heroism, able to conquer and fight well, have excellent strategies, and are suspicious. Just now Jingxuan also said that Nan. The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the imperial court. Even if there is no title of the King of Southern Borders, it is still necessary for the Tuoba family to exist."

Therefore, he probably returned the imperial edict to the Tuoba family intact, which indirectly explained why Tuoba Wang wanted to say whether the Tuoba family would return or not, they had the final say.
