Chapter 753 To kill or not to kill
Chapter 758 To kill or not to kill
Yang Yun said: "If you want to trust Yun, if you don't, Yun has nothing to say!"

Pei Bi said: "How many people are there beside you now!"

Yang Yundao: "Accounting luck, there are 21 more people! All of them are good guys with one to ten!"

"Alright, that's enough!"

Pei Bi said: "Wait for a while, Bi writes a letter, and you enter the palace with Bi!"

Instead of looking for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Pei Bi bit his fingers, and directly used blood as ink to write a blood book with hundreds of words.After finishing writing the blood book, Pei Bi stuffed the blood book into his chest.Said: "Take your men, hold your weapons, and go with Bi!"

Although the palace will be locked at night, under normal circumstances, Pei Bi, whom Ran Zhi trusts, can enter the palace at any time.Similarly, he can also enter with guards.But the guards need to surrender their weapons.

Pei Bi, who entered the palace, found Ran Zhi, and quarreled with Ran Zhi from time to time.After a long time, there was no movement in the palace.Pei Bi said: "Your Majesty will stay with Bi to discuss state affairs in the palace and will not go back. Your Majesty has rewarded some property and handed it over to the guards outside the door to take it back!"

Pei Bi was a celebrity in front of Ran Zhi, those eunuchs naturally did not dare to make things difficult for Pei Bi.A big box that was three feet wide and six feet long was carried out of the palace with difficulty by four young eunuchs, out of the palace gate, and handed over to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun loaded the carriage and left the palace directly in the carriage.On the way, Yang Yun "met" Wang Meng, and Wang Meng said, "Do as Pei Bi wants!"

Yang Yun returned to Pei Mansion.In front of a rockery in the back garden of Pei Mansion, Yang Yun found the mechanism, carried the box through a secret passage, and left Yecheng!

As it was getting brighter, Pei Bi notified the eunuchs outside the night watch to go to Xuan Jiang Gan to have an audience.

About half an hour later, Jiang Gan arrived at the palace.He was waiting for Ran Zhi's summons in a side hall.Jiang Gan didn't sleep well all night, looked at the tea brought by the eunuch, and drank it directly. After drinking this cup of tea, a little eunuch took Jiang Gan to see Ran Zhi.Not long after Jiang Gan entered the Xuanzheng Hall, the Xuanzheng Hall was on fire.

The role of bait is to fish.

When the fish has been determined not to take the bait, there is no need for bait to exist.Ran Min pampered Ran Zhi, maybe Ran Ming didn't guess what Ran Min really wanted.Ran Zhi is the poor bait in Ran Min's hand, the bait used for fishing.

When Ran Min discovered that the elite of the gentry was more cunning than he had imagined.It is impossible for Ran Min to punish those gentry elites without teaching them.Rebellion is the most suitable excuse. In the name of righteousness, even if a lot of people are killed, it is guaranteed that no one will dare to say anything.Ran Min just wanted to use Ran Zhi to involve those powerful people. He secretly ordered the troops stationed everywhere to sit and watch Ran Zhi do whatever he wanted. In fact, it was to strengthen the control of the other side. When necessary, Ran Min would use these troops to suppress those noble families who might rebellion.

But Ran Min was very disappointed. The news from all over the world showed that all the sons of the gentry who participated in Ran Zhi's coup were expelled from their families and their clans were expelled.

"These old foxes!" Ran Min couldn't help but sighed.No matter what, Ran Min never imagined that these aristocrats would be so decisive and ruthless.The officials of the East Palace that Ran Min chose for Ran Zhi at the beginning were all the best among the direct descendants of the major families.

Since he couldn't catch the big fish of the gentry, Ran Min expected Jin to perform even better.The result was even more disappointing. Not only did Jin not take the opportunity to support Ran Zhi, but to expand the scale of Wei's internal struggle.As for Huan Wen, he sent his younger brother Huan Chong to arrive in Yecheng himself, but this made Ran Min look down on him.Huan Chong just came to Yecheng alone, as for the promised reinforcements for Ran Zhi.

"Heavenly deaf and dumb" also figured it out, but it was just five thousand soldiers, and they were not the elite troops of the Xifu Army, but the Jingzhou Army.Since ancient times, the Jingzhou Army has not been a place to produce elite soldiers and strong generals. With 5000 troops, Huan Chong insisted on creating a momentum of 2 horses. It is not so much to support Ran Zhi as to cheer for him.

After the two big fishes, the gentry and the state of Jin, both failed to take the bait, Ran Min naturally didn't want to play anymore.When Ran Min wanted to end the civil strife, things went beyond his surprise.In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace in Yecheng, Jiang Gan was overwhelmed by a cup of tea, and he had nowhere to use his force, so he was tied up by Pei Bi with a rope.Then the veil was lit.

In winter, the weather is dry and it is easy to cause fires. What's more, the main building of the Xuanzheng Palace is still made of wood, and if it is poured with lamp oil, it will naturally get out of hand.

The fire in the Xuanzheng Palace was inexplicably inexplicable, but the effect was very significant.Ran Zhi, Pei Bi, and Jiang Gan were all buried in the sea of ​​flames, and there were more than thirty eunuchs and palace ladies buried with them.

Although the entire Xuanzheng Palace was rescued in time, the entire palace was burned with lamp oil. Even if the fire was extinguished, the Xuanzheng Palace was completely scrapped, leaving only one foundation.

Jiang cadre's sergeant lost Jiang Gan as the backbone, and also lost the object of their allegiance, Ran Zhi. Naturally, they chose to surrender.All the gates of Yecheng that were blocked by sand and stones were opened one by one, and all the civil and military officials of Yecheng also came out of the city to welcome Ran Min back.

Ran Min looked at the civil and military ministers with apprehensive expressions, but he was thinking of Ran Zhi's face in his head.Ran Zhi actually died.Ran Min couldn't believe it when he received the news.When Ran Zhi and Murong Chui assassinated him, Ran Min was not angry.

Shi Hu adopted Ran Zhan, and under Shi Hu's influence, Ran Min was more or less infected with the habit of being a barbarian.In the traditional etiquette and law of the Han people, killing one's father with a son is a heinous felony, and it is also a manifestation of inhumanity.But in the eyes of Hu people, these are very common things.In any nomadic tribal power transfer, it is actually accompanied by blood.When a leader grows old and loses his glory, a younger and braver person will appear to compete for the leader's power.This has nothing to do with bloodlines, but only with ability.In Ran Min's understanding, it was Ran Zhi who was eager to take over.This is a little pony, wanting to break free from Ran Min's restraint, wanting to run unrestrained.

When Ran Zhi sent Liu Ke and Jiang Gan to persecute him, he was not angry.

Now that Ran Min has created these foundations, he will naturally hand them over to a capable son, otherwise he will be killed by Liu Cong just like the prince Liu He chosen by Liu Yuan.Or the prince Shi Hong chosen by Shi Le was killed by Shi Le.An incompetent son is doomed to be someone else's prey.When Ran Zhi spared no effort to reach out to Ran Min to grab power, Ran Min not only did not despair, but was relieved.

In this world, anyone who dares to attack him is either a lunatic or a genius.In fact, there is no clear boundary between madman and genius.If you succeed, you are a genius, if you fail, you are a madman.Truth is in the hands of only a few.

Because of the different growth environment, Ran Min's way of thinking is different.Ran Ming thinks that he is clever in arguing not to fight, and not to fight but to fight for political wisdom. In Ran Min's eyes, it is actually very ridiculous.

In case of danger, the Han people are usually young and strong, followed by women and children, and the old and weak are the most precious.Respecting the old and loving the young are the traditional virtues of the Han people.But the barbarian is like this, if there is not enough food, the one who gets the most food will be the young and strong.Women and children are next, and the old and weak will be discarded.From the standpoint of the Han people, the behavior of the Hu people is undoubtedly the behavior of beasts.But the Hu people are also laughing at the pedantry of the Han people, the young and the strong are all dead, and the old and the weak can't survive.The difference is just a little earlier and a little later.Only young adults, women and children, only they have the ability to continue the future and create hope.

But from the standpoint of the barbarians, even those old and weak who have been abandoned, they will not have any complaints.In fact, there is no uniform standard for right and wrong, just like the transfer of power, in the concept of Hu people, this is the law of the jungle, this is the strong respect.Just like the very famous adage in later generations, it doesn't matter whether a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.

As the same son, Ran Min actually didn't favor one person too much.Even if Ran Min knew that Ran Ming was capable, if he couldn't compete with Ran Zhi, Ran Min would still sit back and watch Ran Ming get killed by Ran Zhi.

Although it is cruel to say it, this is the law of survival that is most in line with this era.Now that Ran Zhi died, he was a little sad.Originally, in Yecheng, he actually left a lot of hidden hands, including when Ran Zhi borrowed Murong Li's hand to wash all the officials with blood, if Ran Min wanted to stop it, Ran Min actually had the ability.Ran's begging army is also Ran Min's fundamental strength.There is only one point in the transfer of power. If Ran Min dies, they will automatically transfer their loyalty to Ran Zhi.Ran Min is alive, they will not be loyal to Ran Zhi.

If it wasn't for Ran Min's deliberate action, Liu Ke would not be able to mobilize the army at that time, let alone intimidate Ran Min.But Ran Min kept looking at Ran Zhi.

Ran Zhi is dead now, and there is only one Ran Ming left. Now Ran Yu, Ran Cao, and Ran Rui are too young to see anything.It's Ran Ming's temperament, can he defend this country?However, Ran Ming is still very young and has strong plasticity. Ran Min has the confidence to train Ran Ming to be a qualified successor.

With such contradictory feelings, Ran Min entered Yecheng.

Such a big event happened in Yecheng, if a few people were not killed, it would definitely not be in line with the character of an emperor.Although Jiang Gan died, his family members were still there. Jiang Gan’s eldest son Jiang Ju, second son Jiang Lin, youngest son, and Jiang Gan clan brothers, clan brothers, and nephews, a total of 27 people, were all killed at the Meridian Gate. More than forty female relatives He was also issued as a slave.

As for the officials of Wei Guoyuan's East Palace and Ran Zhi's direct descendants, including those officials who were loyal to Ran Zhi, Ran Min neither pursued nor intervened.However, as for the loyal ministers killed by Ran Zhi, such as Sikong Tiaoyou, they were given posthumously to the Taibao and the king of Fenyang County.Zhang Qian pursued Si Kou, and Jia Ze Xiping County Duke.Xiao Quan, Minister of Zhongshu, Song Bin, Minister of Huangmen, Zheng Bo, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, etc., all conferred a first rank of official rank, and also bestowed the title of Chuan Guohou.

In fact, the ancient system of titles is not fixed forever. For example, if the county is passed down, it will be downgraded to become a county.The next generation will be the township.The marquis is also the third class, namely county, township and pavilion.That is to say, if the descendants of later generations have no achievements, at most nine generations, they can be reduced from Duke to Earl.But Chuan Guohou is different, this kind of title will not be downgraded.

Ran Min issued a call to abolish the prince Ran Zhi, and Ran Zhi's family members including the princess concubine were demoted to the common people.At the same time, Dong Run was appointed Minister of the Five Armies, Zhang Ai was added as Lieutenant of Sili and General Wei, and Shi Yue replaced Jiang Gan as General Zhengnan.

When Ran Min was rectifying the court, Ran Ming was also not idle.Although Wang Cheng untied his belt and hanged himself after learning the news of Ran Zhi's death and Ran Min's recovery.However, he couldn't take away the property of Zhang Xun and Liu Yuan that Wang Cheng annexed, and these became Ran Ming's spoils of war.

Ran Mingdang reorganized the Huaxia Business Alliance to form the new council of the Huaxia Business Alliance with 23 giants including Zhang Xun, Zheng Jian, Lu Zhongmi, and Cui Zian.Ran Ming also changed the jurisdiction of the council. Any resolution must be subject to the majority by the minority, and only half of the 23 council members agree in favor of it, and the resolution can be passed.

Of course, at this time, Wang Meng also saw Ran Ming.It was only when Ran Ming saw Wang Meng that he understood.Wang Meng did many things behind Ran Ming's back.Treat Liu Ke as a villain and place him next to Ran Zhi.With the eyes of the sky, he pretended to blow up the embankment and blamed Ran Zhi.

Hearing this, Ran Ming was frightened for a while.Of course, Ran Ming was also very angry.

His anger came from Wang Meng's self-assertion, although the loss of this civil strife was not too great.But Liu Yuan, Tiao You and many others died, especially because Ran Zhi indulged Murong Li, which caused disastrous consequences.At this moment, Ran Ming wanted to kill Wang Meng.
