Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 36 Bloody Dynasty

Shen Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Han Ge can become a elder at a young age. Could it be because of the military exploits made by the old man's mutiny?"

"That's not true." The old woman said again, "The concubine said earlier that Han Ge, young and old, worked hard and was amazingly talented, and he was a first-class talent in the capital.

"Such a talent just happened to meet the imperial court's urgent need for employment, so it will naturally be reused."

Shen Xi was unable to refute.

She had never seen this Han Dun before, and she couldn't guess how outstanding a grandson raised by a vicious and narrow-minded woman like Wen Chan would be?
"After the old lady married into the Han family, what changes did she bring to the Han family?" She picked a magnolia flower and put it in her hair.

"First of all, Mrs. Han has been promoted."

The old woman looked at her with the flowers in admiration: "Grandpa Han was just a small commander, and after only half a year of marriage, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the five cities.

"When the old lady gave birth to her second son, he entered the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion again and became a general under the Chinese Army Battalion.

"Some things shouldn't be said indiscriminately, but Miss doesn't seem to be such a troublesome person. I am a talkative person, so it doesn't hurt to say a few more words.

"It is said that Han's family officials are all obtained by relying on the Zhang family. The Zhang family has a lot of face in the palace, and it is really easy to promote them.

"If it weren't for the thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands at that time, and the Han family's contribution when the late emperor invaded Yanjing, it would have been impossible for Han Ge to be promoted to the position of chief assistant so quickly."

said the old woman in a low voice.

Shen Xi rested his hand on the flower.

In just a few years, he has risen from a little-known commander to the rank of a general in the Chinese military battalion. This is really not something everyone can do.

She couldn't help but wonder why her father and elder brother didn't have any doubts about Wen Chan who went to Xiangguo Temple with her and came back alive?

If they were suspicious, they would never help Wen Chan like this.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking: "In this case, why was Mrs. Han not involved when the Zhang family was in trouble?"

"This is a long story," said the old woman.

Hearing this, Shen Xi picked up the small teapot he had brought and poured a cup of tea for her.

The old woman said thank you, took the drink, and then said: "The Zhang family was destroyed in Xiankang five years ago, and all the members of the Zhang family had followed Qin Lingdi to the south.

"Mrs. Han was safe and sound after she became a nobleman of the Great Qin Dynasty. Naturally, it is because there is old Han Ge in the court.

"But there is another reason. It is because she is not of pure Helian blood. At that time, the imperial physician tested that the old lady had Tuoba blood in her ancestors."

The old woman took another sip of tea to moisten her throat and said.

"Is this also related to bloodline?"

Shen Xi waited for her to put down the cup, then frowned again.

"It's a big deal!"

The old woman said: "Miss, don't you know that after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he declared to the world that he would kill all the Helian nobles and all the loyal ministers of the Great Qin court in the past?"

Shen Xi really didn't know!
To kill all the nobles of Helian and all the loyal ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, in other words, is this to kill the grass and roots?

This Emperor Tuoba is actually so ruthless? !
"At first glance, the young lady has come to Beijing not long ago, so she doesn't understand this allusion."

The old woman said: "The reason why we want to kill them all is because of the change of dynasty, so we can't leave any remnants of evil.

"Secondly, because quite a few of the Helian nobles have never intermarried with other races, their blood is the purest Helian blood.

"In order to prevent them from multiplying secretly and leading the entire nation to make a comeback, the imperial court ordered to exterminate them.

"On the contrary, those whose bloodlines are not very pure, that is, those whose ancestors have married Tuoba people before, can still keep them.

"As for those whose ancestors have pure blood, if they are caught, they will all be executed!"

The old woman also sighed slightly when she said this, and said: "Speaking of which, even if it is a woman, no matter how high the status of the person she marries, as long as she is of pure Helian blood, they will all be killed!
"If the family hides something, then kill them together! It doesn't matter what race you are from!

"Some of the husbands committed suicide by themselves, some were killed by their sons and daughters, and the stronger ones committed suicide. ——It's really pitiful, women and Taoists, but they were born in the Helian clan, and the children they gave birth to were not from the Tuoba clan?

"How could life be so miserable that your husband, who has been sleeping with you for decades, suddenly came at you with a knife in his hand!

"The son I raised with my own hands will kill you in the blink of an eye!

"At that time, only the cries of women and babies could be heard everywhere in the capital. Even if there was no blood on the street, people's hearts were panicked.

"Those whose bloodlines were impure and were not executed, were either dismissed or punished into Buddhist halls and never showed up again.

"Men are afraid of being implicated, even if no one forces them to deal with their wives, they still think it's safer to get rid of them."

The old woman raised her sleeves and pressed her eyes, as if the scene was still in front of her eyes.

Shen Xi held his breath for half a day before he gradually regained his breath.

At any rate, Daqin also advocated national communion for more than 300 years. It is good for Emperor Tuoba, who will exterminate the clan as soon as he comes up!

She understands the truth of being a king and defeating an enemy. If it is just to kill the remaining ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, it is justified.

But they can't even tolerate Helian's life, which is unreasonable!
Even though there are many people among Helian nobles who are unwilling to intermarry with Tuoba people, it doesn't mean that they don't treat Tuoba people as human beings. Is it the heart of a king to generalize like this?

"So, in the whole of Daqin, there are no Helian people of pure blood?"

The old woman said: "Anyway, those who fled and killed those years ago, Lingyun Pavilion has been busy arresting the remnants for more than ten years. Those Helian people with pure blood, at least dare not show their faces in Dazhou."

"Lingyun Pavilion?"

"That's right." The old woman said, "It is a yamen specially set up to deal with the remnants of the Helian clan."

Shen Xi looked at her, and it took him a while to regain his composure.

Emperor Tuoba had learned the lesson of Great Qin by killing the Helian clan.

It's just that there are tens of thousands of Helian people, even if they can kill them all, can they kill everyone's hearts?
Even if all the pure-blood Helian nobles were killed, would those with Helian blood really forget the tragic death of their family members?
"Miss, do you have any other orders?"

After the old woman finished her tea, she glanced at the broken silver on the stool.

Shen Xi regained his senses, handed the money to her, and said: "There are still some trivial matters. I wonder how many children Mrs. Han has? What's the current situation in the Han family?"

The old woman hurriedly took the money, carefully put it into her bosom, and said: "The old lady has three children, and the eldest son is the father of Mr. Han Ge, who passed away due to illness five years ago..."

The woman's rambling voice echoed in the carriage again.

The sun has quietly become warm while they are talking.
