Shu Blossoms

Chapter 439
Zheng Wei seemed to recall those days in Dawei back then.

"Their girls may not be able to embroider, or they may not be able to study history, but they will ride on horseback in the arms of their parents since they were young. They will learn to ride horses as soon as they can walk. They will start to learn arrows when we are enlightened." Zheng Wei looked up at the few of them, and asked softly: "What do you guys think?"

Liu Wei sneered, "Girls should be like the sisters in my family who like to be pretty and cute, and have a smile on their knees. Isn't it vulgar for a little girl to ride a horse and shoot an arrow?"

Zheng Wei gave him a supercilious look, ignored him and looked at Wang Can, seeing that he was pensive and silent, then looked at Wang Xu.

"What do you think, Brother Wang?"

Wang Xu said in a low voice: "Women can run the house when they get off the horse, and kill the enemy when they get on the horse!"

"Yes!" Zheng Wei nodded, and continued: "These are just the women you look down on, and those Xianbei men, when our lord is putting on makeup, gathering and chatting, and getting drunk on Qin Huai, they are hunting and fighting!"

"Princess, it can only be said that the Xianbei people are martial artists, but it cannot be said that I, Zhou Erlang, are useless. After all, Xianbei is late to enlightenment, and I am not as polite and humble as the Han people!" Wang Can was a little displeased.

"I'm not belittling our sons, but if the people of my Great Zhou are still indulging in the illusion of superiority and turn a blind eye to these things, when the war breaks out one day, then these Da Zhou sons can only become hares waiting to be slaughtered on the battlefield without any resistance Power."

Wang Can was silent again, because he knew that the war might not be far away.

Wang Xu and the four of them also began to think seriously. They might not be able to survive on the battlefield with their hands and shoulders.

"But as far as I know, the population of Xianbei is only one-twelfth that of our Han people. Even if we are only scholars, there are many soldiers in Dazhou, and those soldiers combined are more than all Xianbei people. They cannot easily capture Dazhou !" Yan Zhuoyun felt that although what Zheng Wei said was good, it was too one-sided.

"So this is not the scariest thing!" Zheng Wei's voice interrupted his meditation again, "The most terrible thing is the law, poetry, etiquette, and wealth that the Han people are proud of, but Wei Zheng is learning little by little. , cannibalize."

"I heard that Great Wei is undergoing reforms, and every great Wei honorable must speak Chinese and know Chinese characters, but is it true?" Wang Can asked aloud.

"Cui Yan of Qinghe Cui Clan, is Uncle familiar?"

Zheng Wei suddenly asked.

Wang Can shook his head, "I know it, but I'm not familiar with it. However, the old man knows the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family, and it is no weaker than my Wang family."

"Back then, Tuoba Yu and I brought up the Sinicization of the Great Wei Dynasty, in order to win the support of the Han family of the Great Wei Dynasty. I wrote the initial regulations by myself." Zheng Wei looked at Wang Can and the others' surprised eyes, With a slight smile, "The sinicization of the Great Wei is more thorough now than before. The intermarriage between Xianbei and the Han people started from the royal family. Tuoba Yu married his elder sister, Cui's daughter entered the palace as a concubine, and even several princes of the Great Wei lived in the palace. There will always be a Han concubine. The laws of the Great Wei have been perfected, and the Han officials in the court have begun to grasp the real power. After just a few years, the life of the people in Pingcheng has gradually improved. It's getting lively."

"Princess, your move is really..." Wang Xu wanted to say vicious, but felt it was inappropriate.

Lu Xun took it, "If the Great Wei really started to wear Han clothes one day, speak Chinese, and leave the horseback to farm, wouldn't there be no Xianbei and only Han people from then on?"

Yan Zhuoyun smiled childishly, "The princess has considered this method for a long time. Although it is hard to say what will happen in the end, there is no doubt that the life of the Han people in the Great Wei will be easier!"

"That's right. Whether the original intention at the time was for the people or to help Tuoba Yu, it may take hundreds of years to see the real results of this matter, but for us Dazhou, it only takes ten years."

"What do you mean?" Liu Wei asked puzzled.

Lu Xun and Yan Zhuoyun didn't want to understand either, they looked at Zheng Wei suspiciously, but Zheng Wei looked at Wang Can, "Does Wang Xiang understand the meaning?"

At this moment, Wang Can was more than shocked, he looked at Zheng Wei with complicated emotions, it was not just his daughter's cleverness.

He began to understand Emperor Zhou's preference for Zheng Wei.

He smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty knows that your actions may put Da Zhou in danger of destroying the country!"

"No breaking, no standing!" Zheng Wei said frankly: "Don't you think that the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall is too comfortable? Although the common people have settled down for a while, they are still not much better, but those who should be high-spirited are addicted to pleasure. Your Majesty has worked hard There are too many shackles in my heart, if I don't push this, my son of Da Zhou will become a frog boiled in the warm water, and it will be too late to regret when he wakes up."

"Hey, hey, Wang Xiang, princess, what kind of riddles are you playing, why do I become more and more confused the more I listen?" Liu Wei yelled.

Wang Xu understood a little bit, "Princess, what you mean is that after Sinicization, the Great Wei will no longer have the biggest worry, and that will be the time when they will go south and occupy my Great Zhou, right?"

"Ah, Princess, aren't you helping Wei to bully our own people?" Liu Wei jumped up and screamed, Yan Zhuoyun frowned, although he didn't fully understand, but he also somewhat understood Zheng Wei's words meaning.

"The Princess is using Wei Wei as a sword to force us to become stronger!" Lu Xun suddenly said surprisingly.

Zheng Wei looked admiringly at the man who impressed her deeply that day, and smiled shyly, "How could I have thought so far back then, I just saw that the people there were afraid to go out during the day, the street I lived in at that time The alley, those children only dare to play in the alley, for fear that if they go too far, they will bump into the Xianbei people and be taken away or insulted. But there is nothing I can do."

It was the feeling of powerlessness that made her always want to force herself to become stronger. The expression on Zheng Wei's face was a little heavy. It was the first time for them to see her so depressed, and they didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

"Princess Danyang married in the north, so I arranged for people to go to Pingcheng to open Xiulizhuang. A few days ago, my sister sent me a letter from Xiulizhuang. I didn't know that Wei had changed so fast! We have fallen behind a lot, But I can't do many things, and it just so happens that you will be the hope of the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall."

What Zheng Wei said was very solemn.

At this time, it happened that Yu Tu's soldiers came to deliver the letter, "Master Zaifu, Mr. Inspector, those scholars have agreed to play that game."

On the contrary, Zheng Wei was a little surprised, "I didn't expect them to have some blood."

The soldier couldn't hold back and said: "When General Yu arrived, they were being chased by a wild boar. If General Yu hadn't arrived in time, someone would have been hit by a wild boar!"

"Sure enough, if you don't suffer a bit, you won't know life is easy!" Zheng Wei chuckled, and Wang Xu and the others couldn't help laughing.After Wang Can gave him a worried look, they restrained themselves.

Zheng Wei looked at the four of them, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you and they will join the official ranks in the future, and you should advance and retreat together. Since they have already agreed, you should also participate in this game together?"

"No, no need." Liu Wei and Lu Xun stepped back again and again, even Yan Zhuoyun couldn't hold back that old-fashioned look.

But Wang Can had already spoken, "The princess is right, it is good for the young gentleman to suffer more, you should go too!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands. Wang Xu grabbed Liu Wei with one hand and Yan Zhuoyun with the other. Lu Xun could only obediently follow behind.
