{Yuanhong's comprehensive Chineseization patch is really too cruel. From the hundreds of years since Xianbei occupied the north until today, not a single page of text in the history books is recorded in Xianbei language. In fact, there is no conclusion yet on what characters Xianbei language is written in. ｝
{Forcing the barbarians to wear Hanfu, isn’t this the barbarian version of hair-cutting and easy-dressing? If I were from the Six Towns in the North, I would also rebel. (Speechless)｝
{The reason why the six suppressed the rebels was because they did not reap the benefits after being translated into Chinese. It had nothing to do with Hufu (helpless)}

{I think it is unreasonable for us to criticize Emperor Xiaowen from the perspective of future generations for reforming the clan system and causing the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because Emperor Xiaowen had no choice at the time. ｝
{The "advanced Han culture" that he had been exposed to since he was a child was all associated with the aristocrats. At that time, the Han culture in the north was entirely maintained by the family traditions of the aristocrats. Ordinary Han people were struggling to survive, so how could they talk about preserving culture? ｝
{And a large number of people can only survive by joining the wealthy families and becoming tribes and tenant farmers. ｝
{Emperor Xiaowen just wanted the Tuoba family and the group of Xianbei nobles behind him to join the Han clan and become as "noble" as them. He could not and would not choose another path. ｝
{If you don’t reform, you won’t be able to stay in the Central Plains. If you reform, Q will become the Central Plains and you will be gone. ｝
{Becoming a Central Plains person means you are a bigger person. This is the difference between being an emperor only for the Xianbei people or being an emperor for all people in the world. ｝

Big man,

"Xiao He, what do you think?"

There is a big banquet outside Linhua Hall!

Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant sat on the throne.

Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Liu Ying were sitting at the bottom.

Upon hearing Liu Bang's inquiry, Liu Ying stopped her chopsticks and looked at the prime minister opposite, who looked calm, while Zhang Liang, who was sitting next to Xiao He, was in a state of confusion.

"Your Majesty, selecting scholars based on their surname and clan is the foundation of a country's subjugation."

Xiao He also stopped the chopsticks in his hand, cupped his hands and said:

The corner of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched and then pressed down instantly.

This smell of eloquence!
Something is wrong!
Liu Bang was a little surprised, and then he became interested.

"Why did the Prime Minister say this?"

Xiao He looked up at Liu Bang and said solemnly:
"Selecting officials based on their surname and clan, does that mean that high-ranking officials can only be held by children of the "surname clan" from now on?"

"People who are not in the "surname clan", or whose status is low in the "surname clan", can only hold lower positions from now on?"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, talented and virtuous people have wanted to take everything from the world, but this kind of behavior is limited to one family and one place."

"It goes against the original intention of recruiting talents. Shouldn't the focus of recruiting talents be on talent, selecting talented people for the imperial court?"

"But this system considers origin before considering talents, so that only those who come from a few designated surnames will be counted."

"Emperor Xiaowen's reforms combined the Xianbei aristocrats with the Han family aristocrats to form a new aristocracy, but divided the overall Xianbei into 'powerful' and 'common people'."

Xiao He stroked his white beard and said loudly:
"The so-called worry is not about scarcity but about inequality."

"Emperor Xiaowen was too impatient. He should first gradually Sinicize the differentiated parts of Xianbei, and then Sinicize all aspects of Xianbei."

"Too much haste will lead to instability."

Liu Bang nodded and listened, and the more he listened, the more something was wrong.

Is this old boy cursing me in a roundabout way?

Isn’t it just to let you handle more government affairs, make paper, and design a unified pronunciation?

So petty?
Looking at Xiao He's upright expression suspiciously.

"Therefore, Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to find another capable person to serve as Prime Minister."

Zhang Liang's eyelids twitched.

coming!

Liu Bang narrowed his eyes.

"Prime Minister, Sima Yi can still mount a horse and fight at the age of seventy. You are only sixty-two. Isn't it too early to retreat now?"

Xiao He is not afraid of the hidden accusations at all. You have made it clear that you are using me as a livestock!
I'm blindsided! Still spoiling you old bastard!
"Your Majesty, didn't you see that Prime Minister Zhuge died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan?"

Liu Bang choked, then glanced at Lu Pheasant next to him and raised his eyebrows.

'Speak up. '

Lu Pheasant picked up the wine cup and glanced sideways.

'Find your own way. '

With a smile on his face, Liu Bang came down with the wine cup and sat down next to Xiao He, put his arm around Xiao He's shoulders and said loudly:
"Old Xiao! You can't leave! The big man needs you! I need you!"

Xiao He's face was distorted by Liu Bang's ear-piercing shouting, and he said:

"I am already old, and I am really helpless, and I have already started to make paper."

Liu Bang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Xiao He sneered secretly and continued:

"The internal affairs of the Han Dynasty only need to be carried out step by step. There is no need for the old ministers to continue to sit down and eat. As for the matter of speaking with one voice, Your Majesty also needs to find someone who is proficient in the languages ​​​​of the seven countries and has a good reputation in the homeland of the six countries to implement it. Go down."

"so……"

Xiao He and Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang, who was about to break out in cold sweat but remained calm and calm.

"I recommend Liu Hou to be the prime minister, and he will carry out the government with the same voice, and I will study hard on the interesting matter of papermaking."

Liu Bang was a little moved.

Since he returned to his youth, he no longer worries that these old people will do anything bad to the big man, so he wants Xiao He to "shine more".

But it is also true that Xiao He is old.

If you suddenly die suddenly after doing too much work one day, all the elixirs will be in vain!

But Zhang Liang...

This old boy is looking so cool every day!

No!

The big man does not allow anyone to be more dashing than me!
"Zifang, what do you think?"

Liu Bang sat down next to Zhang Liang again and hugged Zhang Liang in the same posture. Liu Bang held up the wine baron and bared his teeth and asked.

Zhang Liang, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, said loudly as if he had suddenly woken up:
"Your Majesty! What did you say?! I am now blinded and deafened! I can't hear clearly!"

Xiao He's body stiffened. Why didn’t I think of this statement at first?

But... Ovary, you made a mistake!
Liu Bang on the side smiled and gritted his teeth.

Okay, let’s do this trick with Nai Gong, right?

Seeing the meat soup and barbecue on Zhang Liang's desk, Liu Bang suddenly became "shocked" and said:

"Oops! I forgot that you have bad teeth and can't bite meat!"

Then he grabbed the barbecue and put it in his mouth, chewing it and said:
"Nai Gong chewed it up and gave it to you!"

After saying that, he made a move to spit out the minced meat in his mouth.

"Snapped!"

An old wrinkled hand covered Liu Bang's mouth.

"I agree."

Zhang Liang looked at Liu Bang and said seriously.

This gangster would really spit it out and stuff it into my mouth!
"Gulu!"

Liu Bang swallowed the meat and then took Zhang Liang's hand away.

Grinning widely, holding up the wine baron.

"I offer you a drink, Prime Minister."

Xiao He on the side also grinned with few teeth and also held up the wine cup.

"I would also like to toast Prime Minister Zhang!"

Zhang Liang raised the wine baron on the desk with an old face.

These two bastards.

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi looked at the comments of later generations in surprise and said doubtfully:

"Emperor Xiaowen's reforms were very good. Why did he still die? Does it mean that he can't die without reform?"

Liu Heng on the side looked at Hou Shili's evaluation without comment.

"Tuoba Hong's reforms were enforced from top to bottom."

Glancing at Liu Qi, he continued:
"Even drastic reforms at the expense of the prince. But what did he gain?"

"He won the support of the Han people in the north."

"Although the Xianbei Hu people established political power in the north by force and were able to rule these aristocratic families, these aristocratic families cooperated in rule on the surface, but they could not truly cooperate in their hearts."

"But Tuobahong fully Chineseized the Xianbei people in terms of life, culture, and lineage by authenticating their ancestors, restoring their origins, changing their titles, and clarifying their grades."

"The plan for a new Northern Wei rule headed by him, composed of close relatives of the royal family and Han ministers, was successfully completed."

Liu Heng looked at the comments in the sky and said calmly:

"His reforms were not wrong, but his follow-up was wrong."

Liu Qi couldn't figure it out. Was the follow-up wrong? What's wrong?

This is what he thought and asked.

"Tuoba Hong re-established the distribution of power and won over a large number of high-ranking Han clans, making the foundation of the reform rule larger and more stable."

"This can be seen from the fact that he was able to negotiate and introduce reform policies in just ten months and implement them smoothly."

Liu Qi nodded.

"Father, isn't this great?"

Liu Heng also nodded.

"It's very good, but have you ever thought that apart from these noble families and nobles, some people have been ignored?"

Liu Qi thought for a long time and said helplessly:

"I can't think of it."

Looking at Liu Qi with a frustrated look on his face, Liu Heng stopped beating around the bush.

"This group of people are in the interests of the border guards."

Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this.

Liu Heng looked at the sky and said softly:

"The capital Pingcheng borders Rouran, so it is impossible not to be heavily guarded."

"The move of the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, coupled with various policies, seriously ignored and damaged the interests of these border guards who originally protected the royal city."

"The soldiers who were originally members of the Capital Guard suddenly became local bastards. The reduction of their reputation will inevitably be accompanied by the reduction of treatment and constant discrimination and contempt."

"The disappointment, dissatisfaction and anger of these soldiers can be imagined."

"The so-called six suppressions of rebels may be the dissatisfaction of these soldiers venting out."

"After all, the more you pursue its 'name', the more you lose its 'reality'."

……

Northern Wei Dynasty, period of Emperor Xiaowen

"impossible!"

"How could the Six Towns rebel?"

Tuoba Hong really couldn't believe the information in the sky.

The six towns were set up to prevent Rouran from invading, and most of the defense generals stationed in the six towns were Xianbei nobles!
How could they be against it?

After taking a deep breath, Tuoba Hong carefully wrote down every comment in the canopy, and then put away the "Huabao Strengthening All Diseases and Quanxu Jianti Pills" that dropped from the canopy.

"I ordered Zuo Pushe and General Shi to enter the palace."

……

　Thanks to "May_Ea" for the big reward!

　　I just found out today that "The Legend of Tiangang" is out, and the oil-boosting picture is so cool!
