Lan Ruochan

Chapter 29: The Front Mountain Buddhist Temple

"The little girl, Yin Seke, studied under Tanzong Gaikun.

I have seen the master, I have seen the little dragon king. "

Although Yin Seke was dressed in plain black clothes, he couldn't hide the various amorous feelings between his eyebrows and eyes.

The willow folded timidly, bowed down gracefully, and the mountains and mist were sent away slightly. How do you know that the ancient well is not full of waves?
Monk Yuanfa slapped his head,
"Hey, if you send such a novice into the temple, don't you want to disturb the monks' practice?"

Master Bao Nian's eyes were ethereal and unmoved.

Hearing what Yuan Faseng said, he sighed casually,

"There are hundreds of bhikkhunis practicing in this mountain.

Samana Three Treasures couldn't hide their graceful appearance, and she was not alone.

If you have seen Master Sengzhi, a Buddhist nun, who practiced in the back mountain nunnery, you will not be so rare and strange. "

Bhikkhuni, that is the official in charge of nuns?

Knowing that there is still a nunnery in Lanruo, Yuan Faseng couldn't help being interested, and asked,

"Oh? There is a nunnery in the back mountain? Can the master take me to pay homage sometime?"

Bao Nian proclaimed a Buddha's name, shook his head,

"It's a forbidden area for monks. If you dare to go, don't be broken by Master Jue Fa."

"Juefa? The first seat in Maitreya hall? Is he very powerful?"

"Is it powerful? Buddhist monk, what do you think of the poor Vajrapani?"

"Hey, master, my little practice is taught by you, master.

You ask this, but do you want to entertain the disciples? "

"Pindao just wants to tell you that with his insignificant deeds, the Pindao can't harm Jue Fa at all.

He also studied Persian Luya, Tianzhu Yaojia, Xiangxiong Xinyao sects,
After entering China, I worked hard to study Taoist swordsmanship, and I have only seen the proficiency in martial arts in my life.

It's just that Juefa devoted himself to Buddhism and martial arts, was never born, and is not well-known in the world.

But in my opinion, Mr. Huayang is the only one who can compete with him in the world. "

"What!" Mr. Hua Yang's status in the Central Plains martial arts is unmatched by anyone.

Legend has it that back then Ma Zhe, the patriarch of the Western Sect, first entered the Central Plains with a single sword, and challenged the masters of the four Sects without any disadvantages, thinking that he was invincible in the world.

So I wanted to make an appointment with the suzerains of the Five Swords School to gather in Mount Hua and discuss swords with respect.

Not wanting Tao Hongjing to defeat Xizong with a sword at the closed-door banquet, Ma Zhexian was resigned from the position of suzerain because of this, and has been living in seclusion ever since.

The suzerains Liu Chang, Qing Yihan, and Bian Wushuang who were present at the time were all broken by this sword, and since then they have been willing to honor their descendants to Tao Hongjing.

Many years later, Ma Zhexian came out low-key, thinking that he had found the way to break the sword, and came to confirm it to Liu Chang.
Only then did the owner of Snake Villa get seriously injured, the eldest son was in charge, and Ma Zhe first promised to commit himself to the murderous slave.

The swordsmanship of Liu Chang and Ma Zhexian can be said to be as high as a mountain.

But if Tao Hongjing, Mr. Huayang, is brought into the competition together, he will have to climb up to the blue sky and be able to get it.

And the Samana master in front of him actually pointed to another celestial being,
Unless the speaker's ability can match that of the owner of Snake Villa and the fierce slave Qiongqi, isn't that talking about the sky in a well?
Zu Hao has a city in his chest, and he acts prudently. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be seen through by others.
But the person the other party underestimated was his own teacher, so that disapproving expression accidentally got off the mark.

Not to mention the other four hairy guys.

But Yuan Faseng touched his bald head, and he didn't seem to have any doubts.

"Since the master said so, say so.

When I have time, I'd like to ask him for advice. "

If Yuan Faseng said he was asking for advice, he really was asking for advice.

If he wanted to make someone unhappy, he would never use such a beautiful excuse instead, and the wording would definitely make you more unhappy.

Zu Tingzhi also felt strange, looking at Master Baonian's back as if drifting away,
Could it be that this person is also a suzerain-level expert?

He could only turn his questioning gaze to his elder brother.

"Second brother, there is no need to be suspicious.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Master Bao Nian is naturally not as good as your third brother's master,

But let go and fight each other, the outcome is also between brothers.

These two seniors have taught the elder brother kung fu, the elder brother will not take sides, let alone be inconsiderate. "

The third brother's master, oh, isn't that just Qiongqi Ma Zhexian?

That being said, I believe it a little bit,

Thinking of the master's indifferent temperament, he would not really care about the reputation of being number one in the world, so he changed the subject,
"Brother, I didn't expect that you are also a romantic and elegant person. As soon as I heard about the nunnery, I became interested."

This casual mention by Ji Zhi was meant to be a joke, but Yuan Faseng's reaction was very strange.

Hearing the word "Ni'an", he frowned and was speechless for a while, then looked around vigilantly, and then said to the crowd,

"Come on, let's go back to the room and talk."

When everyone saw him, they were cautious and didn't ask too many questions.
Follow him quickly back to the monk's house, close the doors and windows, and sit around the table.

Monk Yuan Fa then opened his mouth and said,

"The king of Wei arranged for us to go to Lanruo Temple this time for two purposes.

The first thing probably Brother Qing has already told you, if the crown prince rebels, there will be power in the future.

The last time you saw Erzhu Xinxing in Baode Temple, Wei Wang had already seen that he was the eyeliner of the prince, so he was also sent to Lanruo Temple Animal Garden.

Lanruo Temple is the most suitable place to lurk within a day's journey from the capital, inquire about news, avoid interrogation, and come and go at will without being noticed.

The king of Wei thought that the prince's power must be dormant here, and the power may not be small,
Therefore, I hope that we can follow the vine of Erzhu Xinxing and touch a big melon. "

After finishing this paragraph, Yuan Faseng paused again, frowned for a long time, and finally seemed to have made some important decision, and continued talking.

"There is another thing, it is my Yuan family's family affairs,

It's also a huge secret, and it's not convenient to talk about it with brothers and sisters.

It's not because I don't believe you, but because you know that you will take many unnecessary risks in the future.

However, once this matter is found out, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hide it from the world.

Today Master Bao Nian said it was so difficult, so I am not afraid to tell you, I hope you can help me.

Well, King Wei suspected that the Empress Dowager was not dead. "

Everyone was surprised, but tried their best to suppress it and dare not cry out.

Empress Dowager Feng, to be precise, should be the Empress Dowager of the current dynasty, but the folks call Empress Dowager Feng more concise and accustomed.

That was a legend.

She was born in the royal family of Yanhuang, she was knowledgeable about books and principles, learned about etiquette and administration, assisted the three dynasties, and hung curtains for two generations.

If she is still alive, as long as she still has breath, no matter what status or method she lives in,

With her status and contacts, she still trembles three times when she moves her fingers up and down.

Monk Yuan Fa had anticipated the reaction of everyone, and continued to explain,

"The king of Wei suspected that his great servant, Fu Chengzu, used a subterfuge trick to falsely claim that the queen mother was dead, and helped her escape from the deep palace.

Empress Dowager Feng was only in her sixtieth year, but her body and spirit were still vigorous. Before she died, she calmly ordered a simple burial, but she was inexplicably infected with malignant sores and died suddenly. Her face was completely different, which is really suspicious.

If King Wei's guess is correct, her most likely destination is also in Shaoshi Mountain.

But when King Wei started to investigate Fu Chengzu, he also died strangely.

What's more, because of the manslaughter of the court lady, she fled fearing the crime and fell off the cliff, and even the corpse could not be found.

Empress Dowager Feng believes in Buddhism, hiding in Shaoshi Mountain is the most suitable for her temperament.

Therefore, King Wei asked me to keep an eye on the bhikkhunis here to see if I could find some clues.

Before the facts are ascertained, no court power can be used to prevent the princelings or local nobles from knowing and coercing the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager is nostalgic for the past, and she does not fully agree with the move of going south to follow the Han custom, but she does not speak out against it.

She hides from the world, perhaps because she is really in a dilemma because of the court struggle between old and new factions.

But if the queen mother is coerced by the white-haired royal family in Daidi, it will be difficult to speculate whether she will make a statement that is not conducive to Jinshang.

But King Wei really missed the Queen Mother and hoped to see her again, so he had to be the first to find her.

Today, I heard Master Bao Nian mentioned that Houshan Nunnery is so mysterious, so maybe I want to explore it.

But relying on the strength of the eldest brother alone, it is expected that it will be difficult to find opportunities, so, so..."

"Brother, since you have shown your sincerity, you trust us so much.

What else is there to say?
How to do it, you say.

Regardless of whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​flames, I will take this trip with my eldest brother! "

Although Qingyun is a person who worries a lot, he never drags his feet when making decisions.

At this moment, he slapped his chest loudly, obviously he had made up his mind.

"Brother, I'm going too!"

Liu Ying didn't say much, but his meaning was very clear.

Yuan Faseng looked at Zu Junzhi again, only to see him smiling and nodding slightly, obviously willing.

Although the two little girls slanted their mouths and did not speak, there was no sign of not wanting to get on the boat in their expressions.

So they put their heads together and came up with a big plan to break into the nunnery.

The first thing to do is reconnaissance. In the past few days, I ran around the back mountain to find the approximate location of the nunnery.

The second is to send Hu Caiting, the second daughter of Yin Seke, to stabilize one of the candidates for the "No. [-] Master in the World"—Master Jue Fa—in the name of lecturing.

As for the remaining four gentlemen, they were about to do the big job of tearing down the walls of the nunnery.

Several people made a plan, and the next day Qingyun accompanied Yuan Faseng to Mount Shaoshi.

The mountain road is winding, and at the end is another temple, which is located in the recess of the two peaks, like a pass, guarding the main point of the back mountain.

Monk Yuan Fa patted Qing Yun on the shoulder, and the two pretended to be followers of Range Rover, and walked into the temple devoutly.

When the two of them saw the Samana sitting in the main hall clearly, they could only force out a wry smile.

Master Kongkong Kongkong still had a kind face, but he looked at Qingyun like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable.

"The two relatives are so excited today that they even ran to this barren mountain and secluded place. But you came here specially to listen to the poor Taoism?"

"Master, Pindao heard that there are countless hidden temples in Shaoshi Mountain, so he wanted to see them.

Burning more incense and worshiping Buddha more is the benefit of practice.Does the master think so? "

A few days ago, Qing Yun heard Po Luo Khan talk about the rules of Samana, and now he wanted to get closer to Master Kong Kong Kong Kong, so he called himself poor.

"Gods and Buddhas are all relatives. Buddhas are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. What is the benefit of worshiping more?

Find the Buddha in your chest, whether it is lighting a lamp, abandoning a dead body, detaining a grandson, Tathagata, Maitreya, Kanahan, Kasyapa, Yaoshi, Vipashi, and Vaishava, what you believe in is spiritual, and what you ask for is true.

Proclaiming the Buddha's name from the heart, chanting scriptures and making vows are all ordinary.

Otherwise, even if you have worshiped thousands of Buddhas, you will still not be able to see your own heart. It is not as good as the sudden awakening of the emptiness.

I'm afraid it's even rarer to find the essence of Salmonella. "

Monk Yuanfa chuckled, pretending to be a fool,
"Master, I just can't be idle, I just want my fourth brother to accompany me for a while.

Enjoy the mountain scenery and forest springs, and go back when you are tired from shopping. "

"Oh, since that's the case, the two relatives should stop here.

After passing this temple, it is the back mountain.

All the ascetics in the back mountain practice pure meditation, and they are not stained with the world.

All the temples of Shaoshi are called Lanruo, and they are taken care of by Ji Temple.

Therefore, the four halls of Sangha took turns to abbot the incense in this temple, just to dissuade all the caged guests from disturbing the pure place.

When the two have achieved success in practice, they will become scripture teachers, lawyers, commentators, or great masters who also practice Tripitaka.

Then you can also enter this mountain, build your own nunnery, and jump out of the three realms and five elements. "

The two quit the monastery resentfully, Qingyun looked back at Shuangfeng Moyun, and said to Yuanfa monk,

"Brother, let's walk in through the forest and climb the mountain."

"Well, let's go!"

When the two found a secluded place, they looked around, but no one followed, so Qingyun burrowed into the forest.

Yuan Faseng was about to follow, when suddenly he caught a silver thread as thin as a spider's silk and folded a cold light in his eyes, his heart trembled slightly, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed Qing Yun up.

Qingyun didn't know the reason for this grab, his hands and feet fluttered wildly amidst the screams.

There was only a sound of "Xu", as if some mechanism had been triggered, the bamboo rafts on both sides snapped together like animal traps, and the bamboo rafts were densely packed with sharpened and broken bamboos, biting together like dog teeth.

Qingyun's face was splashed by the mud upturned by the bamboo raft, and he hurriedly covered his face to protect his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was dragged away by Yuan Fa monk for a distance of one zhang.

Both of them were in shock. If it wasn't for Yuan Fa's quick eyesight and quick hands, Qing Yun would have been chewed into pieces by that man-eating bamboo raft right now!

"Fifth brother! There are strange things in this mountain forest, I'm afraid we can't force our way."

"Then, what should I do?"

Qingyun was still a little scared at this time, and his tongue kept spinning when he spoke.

"Tomorrow we will find a way to climb the mountain from the foot of the south side of the mountain. I don't believe they can seal the whole mountain?"

"Okay! Brother Yi."

On the second day, it was Liu Ying and Dianzhi who went out to check the spots.

Originally Yuanfa Monk had to go, but Qingyun felt that if he happened to meet Master Kongkong Kongkong again, it would be difficult to explain, so he persuaded his eldest brother with good words.

Liu Ying and Dianzhi went around to the south foot and found a Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain.

Songshan naturally has a Taoist temple. During Emperor Taiwu's time, Kou Qianzhigui, a celestial master, was a national teacher of a dynasty.

Taoism is originally a product of the religiousization of the Central Plains culture. It respects the rulers of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers, people, and sages. All gods are cultivated by ancient sages who ascended to become immortals.

The Taimiao of the three dynasties in ancient times not only did not conflict with Taoism, but they were all arranged according to Taoist rules and feng shui. Therefore, although Tianshi Dao lost power, the Taoist temple on Taishi Mountain did not withdraw.

But in the past, all the Tianshi dojos on Shaoshi Mountain were squeezed into such a small area at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain.

The two saw that the Taoist temple had cut off the road into the mountain, and they couldn't go around, so they went straight into the forest.

With Qingyun's experience yesterday, he was naturally extra careful.

Zu Weizhi carried all kinds of magic weapons with him, such as a monocle, and a mechanism probe, and he was quite well prepared.

But I never expected that people only arranged the simplest wind chimes, and Zu Tingzhi was poking around with the magnetic probe, and the golden bell swayed for a while, and several groups of Taoist priests were attracted.

Seeing that there are so many people coming, it is obvious that they are all Lianjiazi.

In order to avoid friction, Tiezhi just reasoned that the two brothers saw a mountain rabbit, chased the animal into the forest, and were waiting to be caught, not wanting to set off the alarm by mistake.

Those Taoists looked serious and shouted at the two of them, saying that this place is the Dao Temple of Emperor Zhongyue, and they should not be disturbed at will if they are idle in the world.

Douzhi glanced up the mountain pretending to be casual, and vaguely saw a few yellow walls and red tiles. He couldn't tell whether it was a temple or a temple.
But it was difficult to tell the truth, so he could only turn around with Liu Ying in despair.

That evening, the six of them held another meeting.

The meeting believed that since there are many obstacles on the mountain road, there is no choice but to break through.

Walking in from the Buddhist temple, all you see are acquaintances.

Everyone is living in the temple at the moment, and they don't see each other when they look up. How can they be dumb after going through the mountains?

There is no way to continue investigating the matter of the prince.

That being the case, the only way is to attack the Houshan Taoist Temple.

Although there are many Taoists there, as long as they don't realize the Dharma, it is not difficult for a master of Bao Nian's level to break through.

However, whether there is any connection between the Buddhist temple in the front mountain and the Taoist temple in the back mountain is still unknown.

Therefore, Hu Caiting and Yin Seke still have to stay in the temple. Once the temple people get the news, they should try their best to hold back the reinforcements...

The changes that may be encountered, the handling plan, when to use literature, and when to use force.

These six people discussed heatedly all night, strategized, and decided to fight Tianwang Mountain decisively.

After this tossing, the six of them fell asleep for the whole day, and no matter how the bell tolled, I stood still.

After nourishing their spirits, filling their stomachs, and doing some preparatory activities, the four men are ready to do it.

The so-called black clothes are originally black or navy blue, and only the women's models for nuns will have some raw materials.

Therefore, there is no need to change clothes for a few people to move at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and black clothes and broad robes completely conceal their figures, which is just in time.

The weather was gloomy, and a thick layer of dark clouds covered the starlight. In this era, when encountering such weather, it would be really hard to see.

There was not even a long-burning lamp left at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Qing Yun, who was walking in the front, was afraid of making any noise, so he tiptoed along the wall and touched it.

He was about to reach out to push the door, but suddenly felt a softness in the lower part of his hand, like touching silk, as if he was pushing against someone's ribs.

The man was tall and muscular.

Qingyun secretly wondered, could it be that the eldest brother surpassed me unknowingly?
I was about to ask, but the man asked first,
"Yun Chang, why are you pushing my waist?"

"Ah? Me? Uncle Xi, I didn't push you."

When these two sounds came out, Qingyun and the others were taken aback.

I don't know who stepped on it hard, and finally made the other party alert.

"Who!"

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Qingyun still recognized the person, it was the hero Xi Chanwen who happened to meet in the mountains that day.

Why is he here?
Jizhi turned his head faster, seeing that the other party also looked shady, knowing that they didn't want to disturb the people in the audience, so he immediately reported his identity to prevent unnecessary conflicts,
"General Xi, I'm next to my ancestors. Half a month ago, we met once."

"Huh? Where did you come from?"

"We plan to explore the back mountain."

Back then, the warm voice of the young man in white rang out from the quiet space. I think he changed into night clothes today,

"Oh? What a coincidence? Why don't we explore this tiger's den and dragon's pool together.

Presumably, our goals are not the same, and when we work together to break through the Taoist temple here, we will go our separate ways without interfering with each other. "

"A word is settled!"

"who is it!"

The voices of the few people were not loud, but unexpectedly they alarmed the Taoists in the audience.

It seems that this Taoist concept is really not simple.

Someone in the temple raised a torch, as if to light a candle.

Only a few swishing strings were heard, and the flickering red light in the wall dimmed.

The sword in Qingyun's hand had already been drawn, and he borrowed the gleam of light reflected in the sky before the torch was extinguished, and saw Taishi Shuming's movement of drawing his bow.

"My God! Can you shoot through walls?"

In fact, bows and arrows are parabolic, so aiming is very difficult.

A sharpshooter within a hundred paces can already be said to be a miracle.

The firelight at night is a very obvious target. What kind of character is Tai Shi Shuming?
As long as you can see the approximate distance and direction, there is nothing wrong with the lead string.

The trick of shooting fire through walls is a piece of cake for him.

Xi Chanwen was standing at the gate at this moment.

He raised the ax and slammed it down, the light of the ax completely coincided with the crack of the door, the latch broke with a sound, but the door was not damaged at all.

With a creak, the two doors were blown by the ax wind and bounced outward.

"presumptuous!"

With a violent sound, a sword light drew a strange arc in the air, bounced on the eaves several times, and slashed down towards Xi Chanwen.

The blood ax has no precedent, and it is another force to smash Huashan!
In Xi Chanwen's eyes, there is never a problem that cannot be solved with an axe.
If you can't solve it, come back with another axe!
But that sword light was like a ghost of will-o'-the-wisp. When the shadow of the ax came, it just swayed along with it, drifting a little sideways, but the cutting momentum didn't increase or decrease, without any hindrance.

Qingyun and Xiao Yunchang were right behind Xi Chanwen, when they saw the sword approaching, they seemed to have a tacit understanding and struck together.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

Later Zhao Wudi Shi Hu was a well-known tyrant even in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms.The absurd things about him are beyond description.He murdered the prisoners of war, slaughtered all of Qingzhou, and caused complaints. There is no doubt about the face of a tyrant.However, his butcher's knife has no obvious ethnic orientation, and it is generally harsh on the Xianbei Yan people, the Liu family Huns, the Xilaidi people, and even the Jiehutong people.The management team of the later Zhao Dynasty, the three companies in the Shihu period, Sima Li Nong, Situ Shenzhong, and Taiwei Zhang Ju, were all Chinese.The so-called situation where the Chinese are withered and the barbarians are the big ones does not exist.It's just that the Hu people were brave at that time. In the military system, no matter the generals or soldiers, most of them were Hu people.

As soon as Shi Hu died, Prince Shi Shi ascended the throne. The new emperor was killed by Shi Zun before his dragon chair was warmed up. Later Zhao fell into a melee like the chaos of the Eight Kings of the First Jin Dynasty.At this time, Ran Min was still called Ran Min. Since he joined the clan, he was also a member of the royal family as usual. When Shi Zun came to power, Ran Min was the first to make contributions. Shi Zun even granted Ran Min the status of crown prince.But Shi Zun Xiemo broke his promise after killing the donkey, fearing that Ran Min would be dissatisfied and became murderous.When Ran Min heard the wind, he had no choice but to turn back and set up another stone mirror.At that time, Ran Min had abolished the lord, and he was in the position of a general, with the military power in his hands, so how could he not be feared?So Shi Jian secretly planned three killings against Ran Min, all using Jie people's personal soldiers.Although Shi Jian made clear about his relationship the first two times, but again and again, can he still hide it from others?

Ran Min was furious, rushed into the palace, closed the city gates, and stipulated that anyone with a weapon would be killed if he met a person with a high nose, deep eyes, and a beard. This is the famous "Tu Hu Order" in history. "Book of Jin" said that at that time, Ran Min promised to cut off a Hu's head and send it to Fengyangmen, and he would be promoted to three ranks. This official document exposed 20 corpses, and more than half of them were killed indiscriminately.Many history books say that the Jie people were extinct because of this. Is it really extinct?The nine surnames of Zhaowu were still prosperous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. An Lushan, Shi Siming, and Shi Jingtang (the epitaph says that he is a descendant of Shi Le) are of the same family as the Jie people. This is a later story.

Here is another piece of history that is rarely quoted. After Ran Min killed the Shi family, he may have been concerned about his own background and did not proclaim himself emperor immediately. Instead, he changed his surname to Li and changed his country name to Wei according to the prophecy "following Zhao Li" that was circulated at that time. .

"Zizhi Tongjian" Volume 98: In the spring, the first month, General Zhao Min wanted to destroy the traces of the Shi family. He entrusted the prophecy with "Ji Zhao Li", changed the country name to Wei, changed the surname to Li, amnesty, and changed the Yuan Qinglong.

At this time, Shi Yu stood on his own and raised troops to attack the guards.Li Min wanted to form an alliance with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and wanted to become Sikong Li Nong.Li Nong refused to obey, and the state of Jin did not respond.So after February (leap February), Li Min changed Yuan to Wei again and officially proclaimed himself emperor.In January (March) after becoming emperor, he changed his surname to Ran.In another month (April), Li Nong and his three sons were killed, and Wang Mo was appointed as Minister, Wang Yan was served as Zhongchang, Yan Zhen and Zhao Sheng were appointed as Zhongchangwai.

Why Ran Min changed so quickly in such a short period of time, changed three surnames, and killed so many people, the history books did not explain the reason.But it can be guessed that the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time would never have no response to such a major event as Ran Wei's surrender, but was probably waiting for a "voting certificate".This nomination certificate is also very likely to be very unfavorable to Ran Min, the later Zhao guerrilla general who had beheaded countless Jin army generals on the battlefield and helped Shi Hu harass Jing Yang.Ran Min should have gotten the news in advance, so he cleared out all pro-Jin factions, Li, Wang, Zhao, Yan and other Chinese clan groups.If not, it would be impossible to implicate these many humerus ministers without leaving any reason in the official history.

At this time, Ran Min lost the support of the Chinese clan and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to save himself, he reused the Hu people, named his son the Great Chanyu, and recruited Hu again.Wei Jian, the doctor of Guanglu at that time, opposed the policy of recruiting Hu, and was copied and beheaded along with his descendants ("Jin Shu Zai Ji Qi").

Therefore, Ran Min's slaughter of Hu did not come out of national integrity. When all the stones were fighting for the order to slaughter Hu, he still regarded himself as the Shi family.His severe damage to the gentry in the Central Plains at that time was probably more severe than Shi's.Looking back at the history of the "Han nation" resisting "foreign races" based on "On Migration of Soldiers" and Tu Huling is contrary to the original culture of the Huaxia nationality.It is even less advisable to discuss history in terms of modern ethnic divisions.Ethnic division is not an isolated trace of blood, and the boundaries of different ethnic groups migrate with time.Today's Han, Goryeo, and Yamato are all modern ethnic groups.Thousands of years ago, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, and Jurchen were all inextricably linked with the tribes of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the distant ancestors of China. Now some of them have mixed with Eastern nations, and some have even mixed with Western nations.Another example is that Confucius came from the Yin Shang Zi surname, and the descendants of the Zi surname not only spread all over China, but also Zeyin Goryeo and Yamato.Encountering other people's robbing of ancestors, this is obviously not a problem that can be solved by genealogical blood.There is no one-to-one correspondence between modern ethnic divisions and ancient times, and it is impossible to convincingly define such issues without introducing the concept of region and culture.

If the culture is not dead, the nation will not die. This is the real reason why there are only one or two Chinese in Jiangbei, but they have never declined.Whether Yuan Hong prospered Xianbei or destroyed Xianbei, today it is impossible to give a definition from the perspective of Xianbei people.However, the Xianbei people in history have completely and thoroughly integrated into Huaxia, and no longer exist as an ethnic group. It was since Yuan Hong fully accepted Chinese culture, system, and etiquette.This is an indisputable fact.Then the Xiongnu, Turks, Khitan, Zhaowu Hu tribe, and Wanchuan Jihai, who have been attached to each other for several dynasties, are they not the branches of the modern Huaxia tribe?
