The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 21

Since that day when he returned from the victory in Goguryeo, others were not very happy, but only Murong Han was depressed day and night.When I returned to the capital, I closed the door to thank guests. In Nuo Da's Jianwei General's Mansion, there were only a few waiters and maidservants.

Thinking about it, when Murong Han just returned to the Kingdom of Yan, the king of Yan, Sim Murong Han, had no one to take care of him.Send the palace maids, servants and Meiji several people to take care of the king brother.

However, Murong Han is indifferent by nature, and he is also worried that the country is still in chaos, and he must cherish the power of the people, so he will be sent back one by one in a short time.

When I first entered the General's Mansion, I saw a lot of traffic in front of his mansion, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit him.Unexpectedly, Murong Han has always been selfless and has no intention of forming a party. In addition, when he was a child, he often heard about the disaster of the party's imprisonment, and he regarded himself as a national scholar.Although he made great military exploits in his early years, he has always colluded with his subordinates and soldiers in secret.After a long time, everyone also knew that he was a cold-faced king, so they also cut off their friendship for many years.

After all, Murong Han accepted what belonged to one person. On that day, Murong Han asked King Yan to take care of Duan Xian's family with Mrs. Gongsun.That night when he left the palace and went back to the mansion, an old slave came forward and saw that he was holding a brocade box woven with gold thread, which was very exquisite.

"Why are you so disobedient? Anyone who sends things to the house will be returned." Murong Han was very annoyed.

"General Qi, this was sent by a servant girl in the palace, claiming to be entrusted by an old friend."

"Old man" Murong Han's heart sank, and he asked, "Can I ask about your name?"

"I also wanted to ask, but the woman said: 'Ping Guo's old friend, I have lost my mind'".

"Ping Guo, old friend." Murong Han took the package silently, and entered the inner room silently, only to find that it was a sewn and torn girl's skirt.Murong Han gently stroked it, slowly picked it up, and leaned against his face.

Underneath it is a jade vessel with a gap, which is a jade jue, and the "jue" communicates with the "jue". Murong Han has already understood Mrs. Gongsun's heart.

"'The flowers in the spring forest are so charming, and the spring birds are so sad. The spring breeze is full of love, blowing my skirt open', Gongsun, if you miss this life, you will never leave. John, you know."

After returning to the country, Murong Han has no other worries in his heart, but he is very attentive to supporting the younger generation and caring for the soldiers.Since King Yan returned from conquering Goguryeo, he never talked about letting him lead the army.Murong Han's heart was very depressed, every day he either rode in the courtyard on the Yinshan Snow, or wiped his swords and bows.

On this day, the court was gone and there was still plenty of time, Murong Ba took Uncle Wang's hand and said: "Uncle Wang, I see you are always unhappy recently, let's go hunting in the Beiyuan Grassland together."

Murong Han waved his hand, "Ba'er, Uncle Wang has been feeling unwell recently, and he wants to rest in the mansion. Let's talk about the hunting later."

Murong Ba was young and unintentional, he hurriedly pulled him and said: "That's fine, I haven't seen Yin Shanxue for a long time, I can come to your residence."

"This..." Murong Han showed embarrassment.

While talking, Gao Xu came with a tall and handsome man, both of them bowed to Murong Han, but Murong Han didn't know who it was, so he asked Gao Xu, "This man has a very great appearance, and his stalwart is outstanding. , can you tell me your name?"

Gao Xu replied: "General, this is an old man, the prefect of Xuantu County: Liu Pei."

Murong Han respectfully said: "If it's Governor Liu, our country of Yan depends on Mr. Liu."

Liu Pei replied: "Wherever it is, it's all just rumors spread by others, but General Murong Han is really a hero."

"Haha, Uncle Wang, I think both of you are heroes. Taishou Liu led a hundred horsemen in the siege of Thorny City, and rushed into the tens of thousands of Zhao troops. It is really brave for thousands of men. Uncle Wang, you can walk through Yang with a hundred steps Conquest, where the meritorious service is achieved, the prestige is loud, and the enemies near and far are afraid. From what I see today, this is a meeting of two heroes."

"Haha, Mr. Tyrant can say it." Gao Xu laughed.

"General Jianwei, I still have one thing that I don't understand, and I hope the general can enlighten me. Can I go to the mansion to discuss it in detail." Liu Pei changed the subject and said to Murong Han.

"Mr. Liu, it's not because I invite you insincerely, but because there are so many disturbances in the capital, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Murong Han showed embarrassment.

"Why does General Jianwei act like a little girl?" Liu Pei didn't care and just said with a smile, "Back then, the defeat of Yilian Company was mostly due to you. Could it be that you have personal interests with you? Don't take other people's words seriously." The defeat of Yilian mentioned by Liu Pei is the old story of Murong Han in Duanbu Xianbei.

The Lord of Yan sent Liu Pei, the general officer at that time, to attack Yilian. Murong Han was in Yilian City not long after he fled Yan.In this battle, although Murong Han did not contribute to Duanbu, it was because he was in the city and encountered Murong Ren's chaos.The Yan army was not determined to fight, and the sergeants were timid before fighting, so they could not be defeated.Liu Pei thought it was a pity, and Lord Yan was also very upset.Later, thanks to the victory in Liucheng, I learned from the place where he was in Duanbu that he had never made any effort, so Yan made up his mind.

Therefore, what Liu Taishou said is not taboo, everyone just thinks that he wants to question what happened in the past.

"General, I think Liu Taishou is still brooding about what happened back then, why don't General Jianwei let us come to your mansion to apologize face to face." Gao Xu also jokingly said, intentionally speaking loudly about grudges, as if Let others hear.

"Uncle Wang, I see, Governor Liu means that we have to go this time, but it's disrespectful." Murong Ba booed.

"If that's the case, it doesn't matter, then the three of you will follow me to the mansion." The matter has come to this point, Murong Han didn't insist anymore.

Murong Han's mansion is the closest residence to the royal city among the ministers.Go through the gate of Wangcheng, turn left, pass a few intersections, and you will arrive in a short time.

The gate wall of the Jianwei General's Mansion is high, and there are eight rows and eight rows of huge door nails on the gate. Yinshanxue steps on top of it.This Murong Han has a broad-minded temperament, he doesn't like elegance, he only needs this good horse, swords and arrows for love, no pavilions, towers, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, flowers and flowers in the middle, as long as the horse has a place to gallop.

But Murong Han led them to the back hall of the mansion, led them to sit down, and ordered the old servants in the mansion to cook tea for the guests.

But seeing the old servant showing a look of embarrassment and not moving for a long time, Murong Han blamed him and said: "Go soon." But seeing the old servant say: "The general has never done that kind of elegance, and there has never been anyone else walking around in this mansion." It’s also full of old broken tea, I’m afraid entertaining guests..."

"It doesn't matter, the general doesn't care about the minor details." Gao Xu said to relieve the siege.

"Since that's the case, I'll treat everyone badly." Murong Han apologized.

The old servant served the tea, Murong Ba was indifferent, and said to the three of them: "Uncle Wang, all ministers, I'd better go to your mansion to see the difference between Yinshanxue and my black horse."

"Be careful, Ba'er, this horse is fierce." Murong Han said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll be careful." After speaking, Murong Ba went straight to the mansion.

But seeing Murong Ba go out, then Liu Pei happened to have something to discuss with Murong Han in detail, and it was just right at this time.Liu Pei said: "General Murong Han's statement spread far and wide, and everyone in the world obeyed it. My country of Yan regained the general, just like the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty won Han Xin, and our country of Yan is bound to thrive."

Murong Han, however, said: "I think Prefect Liu didn't come this time because of Yilian's matter, so let's make it clear."

Gao Xu, who was at the side, knew Liu Peiqi's intentions, and said: "This winter solstice, the prefects and generals from all over the country are in the court. If it were normal, there would be no such opportunity. Today, I am honored to meet the prefect Liu, and the prefect Liu Su Zhenxuan Tu, there is something more important that I want to tell the general." After speaking, he glanced at Liu Pei, Liu Pei nodded, then looked at Murong Han, but saw him sitting upright, his face unchanged.

Liu Pei said: "Goguryeo is now in peace, but Murongren's turmoil has not been cleared up. According to my ministers, most of the defectors and deserters of our Yan State took refuge in Goguryeo."

That Murong Han picked up the tea in front of him, lifted it up slowly, took a sip, and just listened quietly.

Liu Pei went on to say: "My lord used it harshly back then, and many people in the country were uneasy, so the Liaodong family was the most important."

Gao Xu said: "That's right. The clans in Liaodong are different from the overseas Chinese in the Central Plains. Most of them live in Liaodong. Most of them own farms and houses and enshrine the emperor of Jin as Zhengshuo. Although my Lord Yan said: Everyone who enters the territory of Yan is a native of the country. The Liaodong family suppressed it in many ways, fearing that its power would become bigger. What's more, the whole family migrated to our Yandu and the west to keep them away from their homeland and weaken their power. There are not a few of them. Among them, the members of the royal family of Yan used the name of migration to make profits from it, and the Liaodong family was very unfair..."

Murong Han put down his teacup with a bang, and said, "Look at what you think, who is this?"

Gao Xu and Liu Pei looked at each other, and said: "General, among the princes and princes of my Yan Kingdom, whoever is greedy is the culprit."

Everyone already knows the name of that person, and there are discussions about who he is from the government and the people of the Yan Kingdom, but he has survived for many years. First, when Murong Hao came to the throne, the domestic situation was unstable. Worship; two, many soldiers in the country at that time used to destroy their families to relieve difficulties. The King of Yan felt his loyalty and respect for the country, so he mostly covered it up.Nowadays, the sons of the world rely more heavily on it, and it can be said that one is prosperous, one is prosperous, and the other is damaged.

"If there is no conclusive evidence, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring it down." Gao Xu sighed.

Murong Han's face moved slightly, but then sank down again, remaining silent.

But Liu Pei said again: "This matter will not be revealed for the time being. I have been guarding Xuantu County in Liaodong for many years. After knowing the Murongren Rebellion, there are many people in the Liaodong border who have secretly joined the rebels. Some of them may be voluntary. Someone may be coercing. At that time, Murong Ren was very powerful and defeated the Yan army repeatedly. Seeing this, someone in my Yandu secretly conspired with Murong Ren, intending to make trouble. However, that year when he crossed the sea and stepped on the ice, Murong Ren was defeated in a battle. Suian. But now..."

Seeing that Liu Pei was silent, Murong Han turned his head and stared into his eyes, and asked, "Prefect Liu, it's okay to talk about this matter."

Liu Taishou looked outside and said: "After my secret investigation, there is a list of those who secretly caused trouble back then. On it are the sergeants who were ambushing in the pass treasuries of various military stations in our country of Yan, and even those who secretly colluded with Murong. Ren's courtiers, back then they made an alliance with blood, intending to kill Murong Yu to destroy Yan, and welcome Murong Ren to ascend to the great treasure early. In the end, things failed, but the list is still there. If anyone contacts the oath-sworn person based on this list, he will be coerced , by that time, my country of Yan may never have peace again."

Gao Xu said: "Nowadays, there are not a few people on the list who died in Goguryeo, Yuwen, and Shizhao, but there are not a few of them who stayed in our country of Yan. This list is a disaster. If it is kept for a while, it will endanger the whole life. Necessary Quickly find ideas and destroy them."

At this point, General Murong Han said: "There may be clues in the list, if this person is not eliminated, it will be a great disaster for our country of Yan."

"This person has a deep ambush, and I'm afraid we won't be able to find out in a while. Our country of Yan is in a hurry to deploy troops. Fortunately, it all ended with the victory of our country. If we lose, or there are changes in the country, I'm afraid he will cause chaos." Gao Xu speaks from the sidelines.

"I, never let it have an opportunity." I saw Murong Han angrily said, throwing his cup angrily, everyone was in awe, and then Murong Han restrained his emotions a little and said: "Who else knows about this matter?" ?”

Liu Pei replied: "There are not many people who know about this matter. This person may be the person who swore the oath back then. If the rest are not the people who have experienced Murong Ren's chaos for a long time, they must be known."

"Since that's the case, I'd like to ask Gao Nei Shi and Liu Taishou not to make it public." Murong Han looked at Ba'er outside, "This matter has nothing to do with him. I'm afraid that people outside this room should not know."

During the conversation, Murong Ba was attracted by the sound of throwing the cup just now, the three people in this seat are all the generation of Murong Ba's uncles in terms of age, and Murong Ba is a young talent of Yan Kingdom.Yan Guode was like this, and everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, and they were unwilling to talk to him about this dark matter, so the three of them exchanged glances, but Murong Han said: "Ba'er, that Yinshan Snow Rider How about it?"

"Uncle Wang, this horse is tall and handsome, with extraordinary leg strength, it's a pity that it can only be kept in this mansion."

"Ba'er, if you are so ambitious, what will Uncle Wang give you in the future?"

"Uncle Wang, a gentleman does not take away people's love, a hero deserves a BMW, and snow in the Yin Mountains belongs only to Uncle Wang." Murong Ba, having said this, said, "Why was there a sound of throwing a cup just now, I thought there was something wrong?"

"My lord, it's just a momentary accident, it's okay." Seeing Liu Pei turned to look at those two people, the three of them laughed happily, haha, only Murong Ba was left confused like Monk Zhang Er.

Everyone in the room came back to their senses, but Gao Xu said: "This time the Ministry of Yuwen invaded our country again. It stands to reason that General Jianwei has a reputation among the princes. Why did King Yan make such arrangements?"

Liu Pei glanced at Murong Han, but saw that he was silent, looked at Murong Ba, and said, "Your Excellency must have known about the Battle of Goguryeo that day, and Mr. Murong Han is unmatched in the army. Uncle Wang was stationed at the He Fort more than ten years ago, and his disciples and old officials are all over the place. If General Murong Han led his troops into the two cities of Yuyin and Anjin this time, the enemy troops would retreat by themselves, but King Yan might be worried..."

"Liu Taishou's words are absurd." But seeing Murong Ba angrily said, "I think that when Uncle Wang was in Yuwen Realm, my father and king were burned together, and I felt remorse. After regaining Uncle Wang, he took the stage and swore never On the contrary, my father and king will not, and Liu Taishou must not use his own heart to provoke."

"Young Master Ba misunderstood. From the words of Liu Taishou's family, what I see is that after Murong's army rebelled and returned, there is no chance to lead the army. Now is the time for employing people. General Yangwei has a strategy. It is a pity to grow old in the mansion. If I Another strong general of the Yan Kingdom is better than thousands of troops." Gao Xu turned around and said.

"Gao Nei Shi, what he said is true. Although our country is small, our monarchs and ministers are inseparable, and we are united. Although Shizhao is a big country, it is alienated from morality. Civil servants and military generals are all selfish. Although there are millions of people, what's the use of it? If you say this again, it will break the hearts of my monarch and ministers." Murong Ba Xiangru that Wang Qingshui, the young man among them only has the heart to make meritorious deeds, he has no plans for other things.

"Although the young master is a young man, he is beyond the reach of a countryman like me. Liu feels ashamed." After finishing speaking, Prefect Liu wanted to salute Murong Ba.

Murong Ba originally thought it was just talking, but he didn't expect that Governor Liu was so caring, he suddenly felt that his words were a little too aggressive, he leaned over to help him up and said, "Why did Governor Liu say such a thing, I've always heard about it from my father. But for you, if General Zhechong hadn't sacrificed his life and entered the enemy army, our country of Yan might not be what it is today, and it can be rebuilt. How can the general have selfishness? rise."

Liu Pei was overjoyed and said: "I have a son, Liu Dang, who is about the same age as the young master, and has the heart to make contributions. If the young master does not give up, I also want him to join the army and experience experience."

"Of course, a young talent is what Yan Jun can't ask for."

When Murong Han saw this, he helped the two of them up at the right time, and said: "This year, our country of Yan also fought in many ways, and gained a lot. If it is the Central Plains Dynasty, the end of the year is approaching now, so it should be rewarded for meritorious deeds. On the occasion of meritorious service. Tonight, at my house, I will only narrate what I saw and heard that day, the filial piety of brothers, and the elegance of poetry and writing. I don’t have any involvement in this military and state affairs, okay?" Murong Han sent the housekeeper and said: "I don't have any other specialties in my mansion. Only these jars of old wine are good wines. Today is also the winter solstice festival. We won't go home until we're drunk."

After a while, several jars of good wine were brought in.

Gao Xu sang: "Wine is a song, how much life is! It's like the dew in the morning, the past is bitter. Generosity should be generous, and worries will be unforgettable. How can you relieve your worries? Only Du Kang." Show everyone.

"I didn't expect Gao Neishi to be so open-minded and self-responsible, with a strong character of Jian'an." Liu Taishou said with a smile, "Everyone, drink up this cup and do it."

That's right, Yan Guo can now be called Shengping and rule the world, but it's hard to get the capital, Liu Pei, Gao Xu, and Murong Ba are also called it.

All the people here, drinking and chatting about how happy they are, all over the world, the ocean is unrestrained, singing while beating the fou, and suddenly singing with drums.With the heavy snow outside the window, the room is full of warmth.

The four of them all open their arms, and there are only a thousand cups of wine when they meet their bosom friends.Especially Murong Han hadn't been so comfortable for a long time, he only drew out his knife to add to the fun.Suddenly he sang again.Just like an old friend reunited after a long absence, all those thousands of thoughts are in the wine.

As he sang, he heard Murong Han start humming: "A Ganxi, my heart is sad, Ah Gan wants to return to the horse but not to return. Why is it too bitter for me to call the horse? I am A Ganxi. Agan The body is bitter and cold, so I leave my soil thorn to live in Bailan. When I see the setting sun, I don’t see Agan. How many Agans can there be in life! Take my beard. "

Murong Han started to play, and while he was blowing, Murong Han cried while playing.

Everyone was skeptical, Murong Han said slowly: "This is Liu Yueshi's Hujiawu Lane. I think my brothers in Murong's family have been separated a lot in the past few years."

Everyone was very sad. Seeing this, Murong Han was very sorry. He picked up his wine glass and said, "I haven't been in such a cheerful mood for a long time. I can't help but lose my composure. Come and drink. Just talk about love and moon and not the rest." After saying that, everyone returned to normal .

While drinking, snowflakes began to fall outside the house, and it turned into heavy snow after a while.

Murong Han said: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year. I only hope that in the coming year, Yan Guo will be able to clear the river and the sea, so that the grain will be harvested and the people will live in peace."

"Uncle Wang, why are you so sentimental, this is a rare opportunity tonight, do it." Murong Ba's youth didn't know how to worry.

I saw that in this inner room, the four of them had a very happy conversation again, drinking wine and wine, that Murong Han may not have expressed his feelings like this for a long time, the four of them were all drunk, lying on their backs in the bedroom, I saw the brilliance of the rising sun gradually rising from the sky, the winter Morning light poured in.
