Wei and Jin Cooks

Tuoba Liuxiu knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Hanzhang's legs and cried. He told her in detail what had happened in the past month, feeling extremely aggrieved. "The Han people's classics say that both parents love their children, and I am also his biological son. Why doesn't he love me?"

Tuoba Liuxiu roughly wiped his tears with his sleeves and asked Zhao Hanzhang with tears in his eyes, "Is it because of my vicious personality that he hates me?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "You don't have the fate of father and son. Fate in this world is very wonderful. He gave birth to you. This is a kind of fate, but if you don't get along well, it is not a good fate."

"He is your father. He believes that your life, your abilities, and everything you have come from him, so he alone has the final say whether you want to live or die." Seeing the disgust on his face, he asked: "Don't you Do you agree with this view?"

Tuoba Liuxiu turned his head and said after a moment: "Although it is treasonous, I still want to say that I am not his, at least not entirely his, I am still my mother's!"

Zhao Hanzhang paced in place and said to Tuoba Liuxiu: "Liuxiu, you are your own. Your parents gave birth to you. It was a two-way choice between you and your parents. You chose them as your parents, and they also chose you. Being a child is a fate, and it is just a fate."

"Since it is fate, there are good karma and bad karma. It's just unfortunate that there is a bad karma between you father and son."

Tuoba Liuxiu was stunned for a while after hearing this, half understanding and half not understanding, "So what my aunt is saying is, me, it's not a big evil for me to fight back against my father, but you agree with me for capturing my father?"

 Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Tuoba Liuxiu's expression changed several times, but he still asked: "Then if I kill him..."

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head slightly at him and said: "Even if there is bad karma between you father and son, you cannot kill him. Sixth Cultivation, you must live up to your own conscience in everything you do. He has failed now, why do you want to kill him all?"

Tuoba Liuxiu bowed his head and said: "If my aunt sends him back to the country of Dai, I will no longer have a foothold in the country of Dai. Please have mercy on me and let me be a bodyguard by your side and survive for the rest of my life."

Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "You are the eldest son of the Dai King. According to our Han tradition, the title should be inherited by the eldest son. Have you ever thought about how to govern the Dai Kingdom after inheriting it?"

Tuoba Liuxiu's eyes lit up and he said: "I will obey the imperial court's orders, stabilize the thirty-two tribes, strengthen the troops and generals, and then send the army to the west and north to conquer all the tribes that have not yet been subdued. His Majesty."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Is there no way to govern the country and the people except to expand the territory?"

Tuoba Liuxiu: "Of course, let them raise more horses, more cattle and sheep, that will be good."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The military service in Dai country is very heavy. Every household has someone serving in the army. There are even three generations of soldiers who are divided among the three armies. Occasionally there are conflicts between tribes and countries, and father and son, ancestor and grandson even have conflicts. When swordsmen meet on the battlefield, haven't you thought about changing?"

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator: "This is just an example. It's because that tribe was conscripted. Later, the tribe moved, the army was deployed, and the big tent happened to divide their tribe into another country. This resulted in two or three generations of different camps. ...I will ask them to change it when I go back and put the whole family into the same army."

  Zhao Hanzhang: ...Is this the key to the problem?

Tuoba Liuxiu glanced at Zhao Hanzhang's face and whispered: "Auntie, we Xianbei people have been herding herds for generations and serving as soldiers. We don't know how to farm and we can't learn. Only by becoming soldiers can we seize the land and protect our future generations. Survive. I know you want me to reduce my military service, but, no."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and thought, then asked: "What about the severe punishments in that country?"

"This can be changed." Although Tuoba Liuxiu was ferocious, he did not like his father's behavior. "Just punish one person for committing a crime. There is no need to implicate his family and neighbors."

Zhao Hanzhang leaned forward, stared at him and said, "What if I ask you to hand over the power of governing the people?"

 Tuoba Liuxiu opened his mouth wide in surprise and could not answer for a moment.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "You are still the acting king. You have military power, the responsibility of guarding the borders, opening up and expanding the territory, and you also have the right to participate in politics. However, the government of the acting country must appoint officials from the imperial court, and the laws to be abided by are the laws of China. "

Tuoba Liuxiu looked at Zhao Hanzhang and looked straight into her eyes. Seeing that there was only determination in her eyes, he knew that this matter could not be changed.

 He thought for a moment, then lowered his head and responded, "Wei."

The corner of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth curled up slightly, and he stretched out his hand to lift him up from the ground and let him sit opposite her, "I have said that no matter what nationality you are, they all come from Yanhuang, so they are all Chinese. I love you as much as I love you. Han people love their children as much as they love their children." "The self-government of Daiguo and the vassal state will do more harm than good to the people. Otherwise, why would the peasant woman report the king of Dai? Don't forget, although she is from Xinping City, she is also a native of Daiguo."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "You are a fierce general, but you don't know how to govern the people. If everything follows the old rules, if things go on like this, in the hearts of the people of Dai, you will one day be like your father."

Likewise, after being in trouble, they will choose to betray you.

Tuoba Liuxiu shook his body, leaned down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please teach me."

This time, he was much more sincere.

Tuoba Liuxiu was also very concerned about his father, so he asked, "Does Your Majesty want to kill him in the name of the court?"

 What to kill? Why is this kid always thinking about killing Tuoba Yilu?

  Zhao Hanzhang: "I plan to keep him in Luoyang as a guest."

To be a hostage, Tuoba Liuxiu frowned, "I'm afraid that there are still old ministers from the thirty-two tribes who are unwilling to do so."

  Zhao Hanzhang: “It depends on your ability.”

Tuoba Liuxiu was startled for a moment, and then he understood.

 She has given him the authority. Whether he can hold it or not depends on his ability.

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator is not stupid either, he immediately said: "Please help me, aunt."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "General Beigong and General Shi will both help you, especially General Shi."

She said: "I plan to re-assign the country of Dai to Youzhou. You, the Tuoba clan, will entrust the country to Dai and become hereditary nobles. You will manage the Xianbei clan on behalf of the imperial court."

Tuoba Liuxiu asked: "Can't Daiguo become its own state?"

 He didn’t want to work under Shi Le’s hands. The Shi Le’s people were...very fierce.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The state of Dai is too small to be a state."

Tuoba Liuxiu rolled his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what if I take down both the northern part of Qianghu and the northern part of Shengle?"

 Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "Let's talk about it later."

Even if you don’t agree, but you don’t object immediately, then it’s feasible.

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator felt refreshed and said with cupped hands: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely expand your territory for you."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled slightly. The Qianghu are currently located in Ningxia, northern Shaanxi and southern Inner Mongolia. They have not yet expanded their territory, but they are still dominated by tribes, and the tribes fight with each other.

When it comes to tribal fighting and governance, the Xianbei people, who are also a minority, are better at it. Zhao Hanzhang originally wanted to leave this matter to Bei Gongchun, but now it would be good to have another Tuoba Liuxiu. (End of chapter)
