Hear this voice. Bei Gongyan's face turned redder. Her hand was being pressed by Ke Muji. She had touched it before. No need to talk about Komuji. She also knew what to do next.
suddenly. Bei Gongyan withdrew her hand forcefully. If it was before. As long as the hand is grabbed by Ke Muji. She couldn't get rid of it anyway. But this competition tonight. Ke Muji's whole body seemed to be exhausted. It made her break free.
Facing Ke Muji's surprised gaze. Bei Gongyan shook his head resolutely.
Ke Muji was disappointed. Unwillingly asked: "Why."
Bei Gongyan sighed and said, "This incident happened too suddenly today. My father doesn't know how to explain the past. If he knows that we will do that now. I'm afraid he will never recognize me again. My daughter."
Seeing Ke Muji's face looked sad. Bei Gongyan said softly and comforted: "Anyway, they will be yours sooner or later. Why rush for a while. Let me say. Yesterday I wanted to say thank you in front of my wife. I can't say anything to sleep too late today."
A strange look flashed in Ke Muji's eyes. Suddenly said, "I should thank that lady well. Or I will accompany you tomorrow."
The noise of the night finally faded away. There is only one place left. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning rises again. The prefectural palace became lively again. The leaders of the various tribes of the Qiang tribe all got up early. Liu Xin made it very clear last night. Today is the day to discuss business affairs. This is a major event that determines the fate of hundreds of thousands of Qiang people. No one dare to neglect.
As the leader of the two most powerful tribes of the Qiang people. Bei Gong Boyu and Ke Muzhi sat opposite each other. The look on his face is extremely weird. The two of them fought in secret for so many years. No one thought of one day. Their children actually came together. last night. After Ke Muji and Bei Gongyan broke up. They all received a scolding from their fathers. But this marriage is in charge of Liu Xin. No one dared to entangle too much on this matter. In addition to accepting facts. There is no other way. but. For who is the common leader of the various tribes of the Qiang ethnic group. The two men are still competing. No one is willing to give in.
Liu Xin slowly walked out from behind the screen. Refreshing. Walk firmly. No one can tell that he went through an all-out competition last night. It seems that he has the strength to make things happen. All the leaders here are secretly surprised. Liu Xin's seat has been decided. Raised his hand. He said: "Yesterday I thank you for giving Liu a lot of gifts. Liu is grateful. We Han people have a saying. It's not impolite to come and go. Liu also wants to give you some poor gifts. I hope you don't refuse."
Except Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi. The other leaders did not care whether the various tribes of the Qiang tribe were scattered or iron plates. I heard that Liu Xin still has gifts to give to herself. They were all overjoyed. Crane your neck. I want to see what a good thing is.
Those who came in with gifts were burly guards. Everyone is holding three things in their hands. A tyrant knife. A piece of silk. There is also a set of white porcelain wineware.
The overlord sword is the standard saber of the Han regiment. Its sharpness is inferior to that of the sword that Bei Gong Boyu wears with him. Silk, which is as smooth as a baby's skin, is the favorite of Qiang chiefs. The most eye-opening for these leaders was the set of white porcelain wine utensils contained in exquisite wooden boxes.
White porcelain utensils are valuable treasures even in prosperous areas like Jingzhou. In Liangzhou, apart from Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and others carry one or two with them. It is rarely seen on the market. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. This set of white porcelain wine set is available. The tribal leaders exclaimed. They all pledged to swear allegiance to Liu Xin. Only Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi had ugly faces.
Liu Xin saw all the expressions of these leaders in his eyes. Already understood. Among these people. Except Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi. Others are not very interested in whether to knead the entire Qiang people together.
In this case. That matter is much easier.
Liu Xin raised his hand again. Signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said: "Everyone. Liu's implementation of the Han and Qiang equality. The policy of treating all persons equally has been around for nearly a year. According to Liu's knowledge, the various tribes of the Qiang ethnic group and the Han people still get along harmoniously. There are also many among the Han and Qiang people. Intermarriage. Liu is very pleased with this. I don’t know what you think about Liu’s policy. You may wish to speak up."
Everyone still didn't understand what Liu Xin meant. No one dared to speak in a hurry. But Ba Xuan, the leader of the Le sister tribe, said with a grin: "The Caomin thinks it's good. Let's look at the decree of the adults. Those officials don't dare to bully us Qiang people. The life of the Qiang people is much better than before."
With Ba Xian, he started. Others also echoed.
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Since everyone feels good. Then Liu will continue this policy. There is no need to make any changes."
In Liu Xin's view. Regardless of the Han nationality. Or the Barbarian, Qiang, or Shanyue in the south of the Yangtze River. There is not much difference in appearance. They should all be of the same origin. Both belong to the sons and daughters of China. Liu Xin hoped that these ethnic groups could merge with each other through various means including intermarriage and cohabitation. To ensure the internal stability of the Han Dynasty. They do not want ethnic conflicts.
past. Bei Gong Boyu is also good. No matter what Ke Muzhi. The reason why they were able to integrate the various tribes of the Qiang nationality into one. It is because of the Han people. Especially those Han officials and gentry and powerful people wantonly oppress and exploit the Qiang people. This gave the ambitious Qiang leader a chance. Now Liu Xin's policy has come out. The Qiang people's life is getting better day by day. Who is willing to rise up to rebel
I heard that Liu Xin didn't mention her promise to herself that day. Bei Gong Boyu was first anxious. Quickly got up and said, "Master Qi, Caomin has something to say."
Although the two women I gave Liu Xin only came back. But Beigong Boyu did not have much expectation for Beigong Coriander. After Bei Gongyan came back. Did not tell Beigong Boyu. What has happened to him in the past few days with Liu Xin. Bei Gong Boyu is angry about Ke Muji. There is no question. Of course. In Beigong Boyu's view. Senior Chinese officials like Liu Xin. How can you care about a woman. Maybe he was tired of Bei Gongyan. Also in order to win over Ke Muji. Just played this one. His only hope now is to seize Liu Xin's promise that day.
Liu Xin said "Oh". Said: "The patriarch of Beigong has something to say, please."
Beigong Boyu arched his hands. He said: "The Caomin thinks. After all, there are differences between the Han and Qiang tribes. The tribes are in their own way. It is difficult to implement the laws of the adults. Therefore, the Caomin proposed. One person should be appointed to be in charge of the affairs of the various tribes of the Qiang tribe. In order to better implement the laws and decrees issued by the adults. "
As soon as this remark came out. Except for Ke Muzhi. The other leaders all changed color. They are now dealing directly with the government of various counties and counties. I don't want to have another layer of tube bundles. Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Liu Xin, had already sunk. Cough again and again.
Liu Xin nodded and said, "The idea of the patriarch of Beigong is not bad. I just don't know in your opinion. Who can take on this important task."
A Beigong Boyu's mouth. Almost came to a self-recommendation. Suddenly saw Ke Muzhi's sneer on the corner of his mouth. He changed his words quickly and said: "Such a big matter. Naturally, it is up to the adults to decide."
Jia Xu snorted coldly. He folded his hands and said: "The Beigong clan leader is reasonable. Since it is based on the ruling of my patriarch. According to Jia's humble opinion, my patriarch will select talented people from the officials of various counties and counties to take on this important task."
The other leaders heard this. There is no response at all. But Beigong Boyu and Ke Muzhi couldn't sit still. Stand up together. But there is no way to refute it.
Liu Xin waved her hand. Haha laughed and said: "Wen and this statement are very different. This is the internal affairs of the Qiang people. Of course it has to be decided by the Qiang people. How can Liu be better than others. I think it is up to all the leaders here to vote. Whether to choose a common leader or not. Come out. Who chooses to be the co-leader. It's up to you all present. Liu absolutely respects everyone's opinions."
The leaders looked at each other. A guard brought in a thick stack of paper long ago. Everyone sent one. There are only a few lines on the paper. The leaders only need to choose yes or no. The person who chooses yes can write the name of the person in his mind at the back. Bei Gong Boyu and Ke Muzhi only knew. Liu Xin came prepared today.
The result is no suspense. There are only four candidates. No on the remaining twenty or so sheets of paper. No matter who these four people choose. It's not important anymore.
Liu Xin had long anticipated this result. But pretending to be helpless. Said to Beigong Boyu: "Beigong Patriarch. You used to be the co-lord of the Qiang people. You are highly respected. Liu originally thought that you would win. It's hard to disobey all opinions. But don't worry. Whoever dares to deliberately embarrass Qiang in the future. Min. Liu will not let him go first."
Bei Gong Boyu opened his mouth. But only dumb eats coptis. There is no way to tell. Liu Xin promised that day to help him. Liu Xin's words have already blocked his mouth. look. I thought you were the co-master of the Qiang ethnic group. Everyone will choose you. But you see. The hearts of your Qiang tribes are not at all aligned. No one wants this co-owner. Then what can I do, Liu Xin.
If the tribes of the Qiang tribe form an alliance. It is obviously unfavorable to stabilize the rule of the entire big man. Jia Xu has always worried that Liu Xin did not see this clearly. Unexpectedly. Liu Xin had already calculated Beigong Boyu in it. I couldn't help but admire Liu Xin even more.
Ke Muzhi secretly scolded Bei Gong Boyu "idiot". But still couldn't hold back and stood up. Said: "Master Liu's move is unfair."
Liu Xin frowned. Murder in the eyes is looming. Shen Sheng said, "What does Patriarch Ke mean?"
Ke Muzhi didn't expect Liu Xin's face to change as soon as it changed. But he has stood up. There is no reason to reduce the tortoise. I had to bite the bullet and said: "Master Liu has already agreed with Brother Bei Gong's proposal to appoint one person to be in charge of Qiang affairs. Why do we have to let everyone choose yes or no again. My lord does this. Obviously..."
His words are not finished yet. A guard broke in from outside the door. Said loudly: "Enlighten the lord. The matter is not good. Ke Muji hijacked the Seventh Lady."
