Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 573 Loyalty and Tragedy

As soon as the Heiyun Army sent troops here, they did not send any troops towards Yunzhong. Tuoba Shiyijian was like a frightened bird, abandoning Shengle City and escaping into the grassland...

Li Yue was a little bit dumbfounded, but he still knew himself.

But since he is so timid, it will be even harder to destroy him in the future.

The grassland is so big. From Beihai to Monan, from Daxianbei Mountain to Jinshan Mountain, and over Jinshan Mountain, it is still a vast grassland.

3 to [-] horses were put in, but it was a drop in the bucket.

In the war between the Han and the Huns, the Han Dynasty frequently sent out 20 to [-] troops to plow the courts and sweep the caves, but the Huns were still not completely destroyed. Some went south and became the Southern Huns, and some went west and crossed the Jinshan Mountains and became the Western Huns.

"Why don't your Majesty unite with the Rouran people to attack Tuoba Shi Yijian?" Liu Ying advised.

After annexing the Yan Kingdom, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Rouran all sent envoys to Liang to request canonization.

Li Yue ignored it at all.

Uniting the Rouran people means supporting them and delivering weapons, armor and food.

But the threat from the Rouran people is no less than that of Tuoba Shi Yijian. They are more ferocious and ambitious. Once they annex Dai State, they will definitely go south.

"Xianbei is a close relative of China no matter what, and has become the king of China, but the Rouran people are not of my race, so let them eat dogs on the grassland, and no one in Daliang will help."

It's not that Li Yue looks down on Tuoba Shi Yijian, but it's that in the past few years, this guy has failed more than succeeded, has great ambitions and weak talents, can't make any big waves, and is easy to deal with.

The Rouran people are an unknown and unpredictable opponent, so they naturally need to be more cautious.

While the two were discussing Rouran, Xin Can came to see him with two books in his hands, as if offering treasures, "It took me four years to compile the "Book of Jin", which I have finally completed. Please take a look at it!"

The personal guard handed it over, and Li Yue flipped through a few chapters, which was much fairer than last time.

The Sima family has done a lot of bad things, especially the Eight Kings Rebellion, which fully demonstrated the shamelessness, incompetence and greed of the Sima family.

Of course, this is not the credit of him alone, but the result of the entire literature museum for four years.

It has been reviewed before it can be sent to Li Yue.

"Once this book is completed, the orthodoxy of the Jin Dynasty will be reduced by another three points! Mr. Xin has made great contributions." Li Yue praised it.

Xin Can's face flushed, "This is my duty. Back then, I couldn't stand Sima's face, so I didn't go south. I stayed in Xingyang to meet His Majesty!"

"Mr. Xin is very interested. He will print it in the bookstore and give it to Jiangdong first." Li Yue had a strange smile on his face and felt a numbness in his body.

Back then, this guy tried to persuade him to return to Jiangdong at every turn, but the reason why he stayed in Xingyang was that he failed to escape and Jiangdong looked down on him.

The Xin family has long since declined.

"In addition to the Jin Dynasty, I also wrote a record of loyalty and treachery. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, all important and sycophant ministers have been included in it. It can make them famous or infamy for thousands of years!" Xin Can said proudly.

Li Yue was stunned, this move was quite poisonous.

In addition to striving for power and wealth, the gentry also cherished reputation very much.

As soon as this book of loyalty and treachery comes out, the nobles in the south will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Among the noble families of Jiangdong, who has a clean behind?
The first person to rebel against the Sima family was Wang Dun, a member of the Langya Wang family, Sima Yan's son-in-law...

Xie Zan, the ancestor of the Xie family, took the lead to join Sima Yi during the Gaoping Ling Incident, preventing Huan Fan from fleeing, and was reused by Sima Yi. From then on, the Xie family prospered.

Li Yue flipped through a few pages, "Mr. Xin deserves to be the pillar of the country!"

To deal with the nobles, you still have to rely on the nobles. Only they know their weak spots best.

"How could China be like this if it weren't for these unscrupulous people? Fortunately, heaven will not give up, and your majesty will come out of Xingyang to revive our China!" Xin Can, who is already old, flatters her without blushing.

Li Yue stared at him, feeling that it didn't look like he had come up with the idea.

If he had this kind of brain, Xin Can would not have repeatedly encouraged himself to defect to the Jin Dynasty.Over the years, Li Yue knew very well who had a few kilograms and who had a few taels.

Liu Ying had a joking look in his eyes, "Is this book really written by Mr. Xin?"

Xin Can looked at Liu Ying and laughed twice, "Your Majesty is also involved."

Liu Shang, the father of Liu Ying, has always been fascinated by books, so it is not surprising that he could come up with this thing.

Li Yue looked at Xin Can in confusion, and Xin Can laughed dryly again, "And... Cui Qian, Han Xu, Zheng Chang, Lu Yan..."

Li Yue was speechless for a while. The older you get, the more shameless you become...

However, it is understandable that Daliang canceled Menyin's appointment as an official. Xin Can's son Xin Shen and grandson Xin Chan were all mediocre people who failed to succeed after repeated attempts. Seeing that the Xin family was about to have no successors.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xin family produced several figures. The servant Xin Mian was captured together with Sima Chi, Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty. Liu Cong loved his talent and forced him to use poison and wine.

Xin Mian would rather die than give in. "How can a man sacrifice his life for a few years? He has two surnames and wants to meet Emperor Wu!"

The great scholar Xin Mi repeatedly refused Liu Cong and Shi Le's solicitations. Later, Ran Min started to rebel and summoned him to be Taichang.

However, these two people are both from the Longxi Xin family, and they have already parted ways with Xin Can's Yingchuan Xin family.

Liu Shang, Cui Qian, Han Xu, Zheng Chang, Lu Yan...

One look at the surname shows that it was a counterattack by the Kanto noble clan against the Koto noble clan.

When they fight, it will be a good thing for Li Yue and Liang Guo.

The noble clan has never been monolithic. If they fight with the outside world, they will also fight with each other internally.

The release of the Loyalty and Tragedy Record was tantamount to stripping off the Jiangdong gentry's underpants, and at the same time vindicating their true origins, denying the legitimacy of the Sima family.

How did the Jin Dynasty come about? Who in the world knows?
Whoever's name is recorded on the Jiangdong gentry will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

It means that Daliang has the power to dominate public opinion in the world.

A great man once said that if you don’t occupy the position of public opinion, it will be occupied by the enemy.

Whoever has the right to dominate public opinion has the right to orthodox interpretation!

"Mr. Xin's record of loyalty and adultery is still missing four names." Li Yue stared at Xin Can.

There are still some reservations in the book, which are taboo for His Holiness.

"Who is it?" Xin Can was very interested.

"Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Sima Yan!" Li Yue said in a deep voice.

They are the source of the troubles in the world. In order to seize the power of the Sima family, they compromise with the nobles step by step and let others usurp the throne. They do it secretly and do not dare to go too far.

Even Dong Zhuo knew how to depose the king first, and then solve the problem in private with a glass of poisonous wine, the Sima family's oath of Luoshui, and the regicide openly on the street.

China's decades of severe suffering, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, can be traced back to the source of the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Sima family.

Li Yue would never be reconciled unless the Sima family was nailed to the pillar of historical shame.

"This..." Xin Can hesitated.

There is a problem with the foundation of the Loyalty and Traitors Record. How is it possible to blame a few traitorous ministers for the destruction of the country and the family?

Li Yue interrupted his nonsense, "Let's do it like this. The Literature Museum will publish four more records of traitorous ministers. There is no need to shy away from Sima Yi's military achievements. Do not seek justice and be impartial. Everyone in the world will make their own decisions."

The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be commented by future generations.

Who knows the virtues of the Sima family?
Li Yue does not engage in historical nihilism and seeks truth from facts. Only in this way can the Loyalty and Tragedy Records be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
