The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 330 Pei Xian persuades to surrender

With Liu Tai's support, Li Ju was completely relieved.

After all, it is not the Jin court dominated by aristocratic families, but the Han Dynasty under the rule of Liu Tai.

In troubled times, the Aristocratic Family, which relied on rules for its existence, was severely weakened and could only use its own strength.

Liu Tai's founding of the country was not based on aristocratic families. For Liu Tai, aristocratic families were a force that could be united, but they were also the ruled class.

Liu Tai gave conditions for the aristocratic family to surrender, but if the aristocratic family was shameless and thought that he was as special as the Jin Dynasty, then Liu Tai chose to physically destroy his humanity. After all, he could not debate scriptures and would get It's murder!

Under such circumstances, if the Hedong Pei family wants to rely on their Pei family's control of the Hedong area and the population that some people in troubled times have fled to Hedong to hide, and think that they have the right to run rampant in a land, then they are looking down too high on themselves.

Of course, one cannot blame the Hedong Pei family. After all, the aristocratic family has controlled a piece of land since ancient times.

There is land, population, family education, and connections. Even if the dynasty wants to come down and collect taxes, it will have to give the nod of the local aristocratic family to collect taxes locally.

Even for some families who are particularly powerful at the grassroots level, even if the Zhujiu Clan involves them, they can protect the daughter of the Zhujiu Clan. At least the Sima family will turn a blind eye to these families.

Therefore, even if the war is in turmoil, even if Liu Tai's situation is overwhelming, the Hedong Pei family still wants to hold on as long as possible and strive for more benefits and privileges for the family.

After all, whether it was landowners or slaves, it was really heartbreaking to just hand over the roster to Liu Tai and collect taxes from then on.

Liu Tai didn't feel much about the Hedong Pei family. After all, the one who impressed him most about the Hedong Pei family was probably Pei Xingjian.

It's a pity that there are still at least three hundred years before his birth. If the Hedong Pei family in front of him is really ignorant, he should be killed.

However, Li Ju still wanted to save the Hedong Pei family. After all, the Han family can be united. Even if the Hedong Pei family did not want to be united, he still had to do a good job on the surface, so he sent his subordinates in charge of etiquette. Pei Xian went to persuade him.

Pei Xian had joined Xun Chuo when he defeated Wang Jun, but he didn't take him as seriously as Xun Chuo, who studied history.

Because I don't pay much attention to etiquette here. After all, except for sacrificing soldiers, I don't pay much attention to etiquette at other times, so Pei Xian has no sense of presence.

These are troubled times, and Liu Tai's request is to simplify everything, save and save. Money is not spent on rituals. Pei Xian is only used for spring plowing every year when praying for blessings and for soldiers to sacrifice.

It's not that Liu Tai doesn't pay attention to Pei Xian, but he first led an army of 100,000 to attack him and Shi Le and was easily defeated, and then assisted in garrisoning Youzhou City. Youzhou City didn't last long at all, which made Liu Tai pay more attention to Pei Xian. His ability is highly doubtful.

Naturally, he would not be appointed to do some real power work. After all, the Jin Dynasty had already paid the tuition of 200,000 soldiers for this purpose. There was really no need to expect Pei Xian to rely on the crowd to create a commander or capable minister.

Because of this, Pei Xian was only responsible for court etiquette, seal engraving and other matters on Liu Tai's side.

Pei Xian himself can handle these relatively easy and leisurely matters that do not require heavy responsibilities.

Especially as Liu Tai captured the Central Plains and the Jin army in Luoyang became more and more unified in the north, Pei Xian was more or less looking forward to it. If Liu Tai could really revive the Han Dynasty, what would happen to the Pei family in Hedong where he lived? It can be regarded as having a future.

Then the Pei family in this era was more chaotic than the Zhuge family in the late Han Dynasty. For example, Pei Dun went to the Jin court, for example, Pei Yi and Pei Kai took refuge in Murong Hui. As for the current Pei family in Hedong, they have no talent. Pei Jing went home to take care of things and so on.

At this time, Pei Xian also followed Li Ju worriedly.

Because Pei Xian surrendered to Liu Tai, he had seen too much of Liu Tai's ruthlessness towards the family along the way.

I understand that Liu Tai doesn't care about the rules of the family at all. As long as the family is unwilling to act according to Liu Tai's rules, then Liu Tai will directly destroy the family's morality.

Originally, this kind of thing would definitely cause backlash from the aristocratic family, but the problem is that Wang Jun, Shi Le, and Liu Yao, who are supported by the aristocratic family, at least these three families are willing to reuse the aristocratic family and grant corresponding privileges to the aristocratic family, but all of this family has Killed by Liu Tai.

What should the family do? They can only listen to Liu Tai's principles, because if they don't listen to Liu Tai's principles, they will have to talk about physics.

Pei Xian had been with Liu Tai for a long time and knew Liu Tai's temper, so he decisively rushed back to the Pei family in Hedong.

Because I really don’t want the Pei family in Hedong to be exterminated, especially Liu Tai who is very skilled at annihilating families. He physically destroys the direct descendants of the Pei family, immediately organizes local people to carve up the Pei family’s land, liberates the Pei family from the corvee and enters the collective farm, and finally becomes the Pei family. The scholars did not hesitate to confiscate their homes and send them to the Han Dynasty's library.

There are even rumors recently that Liu Tai wants to make a copy of all these books, put them all in the Pinshu Pavilion, and open them to the imperial examination scholars who have Luoyang household registration and Jinshi background, but he just doesn't know about this Things are not true anymore.

But no matter what, if the Pei family obstructs Liu Tai, they will definitely be wiped out and no residue will be left.

Even in the future, scholars all over the world will succeed in their studies and examinations. When traveling in Hedong, they will even spit at the Pei family in Hedong.

To be honest, Pei Xian felt suffocated just thinking about this situation, so without any hesitation, Pei Xian went to Hedong Pei's house with Li Ju decisively, because he really didn't want his family to get tired of living. !

At this moment, Pei Jing rejected Li Ju, but he did not stay at home to drink and have fun.

As a member of the Pei family who had little talent and was left to guard his hometown, Pei Jing's rare advantage was caution.

Especially after rejecting Li Ju's offer of surrender, Pei Jing even trained his servants, strengthened the fort, and built defense facilities.

To be honest, Pei Jing knew very well that it was impossible for Pei from Hedong to beat Liu Tai's big man.

But what he needs to do is to prevent Liu Tai from easily taking Peijiawu Fort and forming a stalemate with the troops dispatched by Liu Tai. They will stay there for a year or two. In these troubled times, can Liu Tai still be with him in Hedong? Is Mr. Pei right?

All in all, show one's own strength first, and then seize the opportunity to seek refuge with Liu Tai. This is the safest method that Jia Xu, an old bastard, taught to the world's aristocratic families how to seek refuge in the past, so the aristocratic family will learn from it to some extent.

Of course, for Jia Xu, when Cao Cao was firing cannons, he really wanted to kill Cao Cao.

But he didn't expect that Cao Cao was blessed with great fortune. After filling in a humanoid Gundam Dianwei, a top heir Cao Ang, and a peerless BMW, he finally escaped smoothly and became one of the few people in the Three Kingdoms who defeated Jia Xu's plan.

Even so, Jia Xu still found opportunities to turn enemies into friends and keep himself safe for the rest of his life, which is extraordinary.

And Pei Jing just copied the cat and the tiger.

"Master, Pei Yuzhou is back!" At this time, someone came over to report to Pei Jing.

"What Pei Yuzhou?" Pei Jing was a little stunned when he heard the servant's report and did not react.

"Pei Xian, Pei Yuzhou!" The servant quickly reported to Pei Jing that this was the appointment and removal of Pei Xian from the Jin court.

"It's Xianzhi, just come back, just come back!" Pei Jing heard this and said, "Please, please, please!"

It didn't take long for Pei Xian to come to Pei Jing and bow obediently to Pei Jing. Because Pei Jing was not only the head of the family, but also a figure in his father's generation, Pei Xian did not dare to offend him in any way.

And Pei Jing grabbed Pei Xian's hand and said with emotion, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"

Pei Xian sighed after listening to Pei Jing's words: "I didn't expect that in these troubled times, I would have the opportunity to return to my hometown one day!"

However, Pei Xian looked at Pei Jing and said straight to the point, "In today's troubled times, doesn't the head of the family know that the whole family is in disaster?!" "Don't try to bluff me! I'm afraid it's Liu Tai who asked you to come here as a lobbyist!" Pei Jing reacted after hearing Pei Xian's words.

After hearing Pei Jing's words, Pei Xian said, "If it weren't for the family, I would be in charge of etiquette in the Han Dynasty, why would I come here in person!"

When Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, he couldn't help but be in awe.

After all, since ancient times, only worshipers and soldiers should not interact with others. Pei Xian is in charge of etiquette under Liu Tai, so he is a high official no matter what!

Now that he has come all the way here, if it were not for the Hedong Pei family, why would he do this? Pei Jing was so moved!

Pei Xian himself is an honest person, so he will naturally not lie to others. After all, he is really an official in charge of etiquette.

It's just that he, an official in charge of etiquette, is not reused by Liu Tai. This opportunity is almost his last chance.

If he still can't catch it now, I'm afraid Liu Tai won't assign him any important tasks in the future.

Therefore, Pei Xian also continued, "Now that the King of Han has leveled both banks of the Yellow River to successfully restore China and obtain the old capital of Luoyang, everything east of the river west is in the hands of the King of Han. Now that the King of Han has sent envoys to recruit him, why doesn't the head of the family surrender?"

"He wants us to hand over the land account book where our Hedong Pei family is located, and he also wants the corvee Ding registration of my Hedong Xue family. Do you think this is to recruit our Hedong Pei family? This is the foundation of my Pei family. He wants my Pei family’s life!”

"Master, give it to me!" Pei Xian took a deep breath and said solemnly to Pei Jing.

"You, you, you! You are still not a member of the Pei family. Do you know if we give it, how much tax will we need to pay according to the current policy of the Han Dynasty?

If you just give it, you will give us the foundation accumulated by our ancestors for generations! "

Pei Jing didn't expect that Pei Xian, whom he considered his family member, would come to persuade him like this.

Pei Xian shouted to Pei Jing, "Uncle, please wake up, the King of Han has sent 10,000 soldiers to wait outside our Xue family's Wubao!

With more than 10,000 soldiers, Li Ju came to destroy my Hedong Pei family!

If you want the Pei family in Hedong to be exterminated, then cut off Xian's head and throw it to Li Ju. I see how you can face the ancestors of the Pei family when you go to Jiuquan! "

When Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, he was a little panicked and said to Pei Xian:

"What are you talking about? Now that foreign enemies are on the side, how can our Pei family fight internally?

I'm really not willing to hand over my field and Ding titles. How could Liu Tai deal with our Hedong Pei family like this?

Without our family, how could Liu Tai govern the country! "

"The King of Han has military history, government soldiers, and recently the imperial examination candidates. For him, it was the family that betrayed the Han Dynasty. Except for the Chu family and the Yang family who were ministers of the dragon from the beginning, , or maybe the old officials of the Shu Kingdom who supported the Shu Han, and the Sima family of Cao Wei who originally chose to stand, in his opinion, are all people with original sin!"

Pei Xian sighed, "That's why he criticizes the aristocratic families in the world and doesn't trust the aristocratic families in the world. If any aristocratic family wants to surrender to him, they must accept his rules!"

"Such a lonely man will definitely suffer backlash. If the world's famous families join forces, he is just a lonely man, so what's so scary!"

When Pei Jing heard Pei Xian's words, he did not feel Liu Tai's fear, but said to Pei Xian.

"But the problem is, even though he is an independent man, he is also the strongest independent man in the world. Even though he is tyrannical, he is only tyrannical against aristocratic families!" Pei Xian sighed, "Uncle, you can't resist the anger of his emperor. "

"He is worthy of being the emperor. How could he become the emperor without relying on his family?" Pei Jing said unwillingly.

"The troubled times gave the King of Han the opportunity to change the rules. Although the noble family was strong, they still had to defeat him.

But the question is, among the many famous generals who rose up in troubled times, Wang Jun, Shi Le, Liu Yao, Zu Ti, who did it?

Even among those of us from the aristocratic families under Liu Tai's command, who doesn't hope that as long as he loses, someone from the aristocratic families he treats harshly will inevitably have a backlash.

But no, facing a commander who has never lost before, who dares to be the first to raise a flag against the King of Han!

Uncle Clan, are you going to bet the foundation of our Hedong Pei family to hold high the banner against Liu Tai? ?

Are you willing to bet on Liu Tai’s family? ! "

Listening to Pei Xian's words, Pei Jing's aura weakened little by little.

Because he knows very well that he can't beat him, he really can't beat him. This is the core of the problem.

As long as someone can break Liu Tai's undefeated myth, then there will be some rebellious people in the family under Liu Tai's rule. After all, the Jin court is too comfortable, and the current big man is too harsh.

"Without the help of our aristocratic family, how could Liu Tai continue to take over the tax collection and corvee affairs?" Pei Jing's momentum couldn't help but weaken.

After Pei Jing knew that Liu Tai was indeed determined to wipe out every family, Pei Jing did not dare to gamble.

It's like the bald man on the other side of the sea knows that Rabbit is really determined to fight and that Eagle-chan can't support him. Only about 70% of them want to be alone. After all, they will always quarrel before the pain falls on themselves.

"The King of Han has his own new tax system, so you don't need to worry!" Pei Xian said solemnly to Pei Jing,

"Uncle Clan, let me make it clear. Don't use any tricks after handing over the field records and Ding records, because the laws of the Han Dynasty, especially those related to taxation, are strict!"

"I understand!" Pei Jing looked at Pei Xian as if he understood.

Pei Xian knew very well that when trying to persuade someone to surrender, he could still threaten and exhort him, and be moved by emotion, but this kind of matter involving interests really required teaching from others, rather than from others, otherwise no aristocratic family would be able to change it.

"However, no matter how serious the tax problem is, it will only be a house raid. If the Hedong Pei family is in pain, it will not lead to the annihilation of the family!"

Pei Xian really can't control what happens next.

Moreover, with Gou Chun's tax procedures in the Central Plains region being implemented, it is almost time to return to Luoyang.

"Gou Chun, you persecuted Zhongliang and acted as a swindler, and your whole family will die miserably!" At this moment, the Zhou family in Changyi issued a vicious curse to Gou Chun!

"Yes!" Gou Chun responded, glanced at the head of the Zhou family and said calmly:

"Well, originally the female relatives of the bureau wanted to join the Jiaofang Division. If that's the case, then your whole family should go down and accompany them!"

The Zhou family couldn't help but tremble, and the expressions on their faces became even more desperate.
