Liu Jingxuan nodded seriously, while Sima Xiuyi on the side looked confused: "My dear, your majesty, do you mean Ran Min?"
The black robe sighed softly: "His Majesty saved my life back then. I grew up with him in the Kingdom of Zhao since I was a child. We joined the army and practiced martial arts together. We are brothers and sisters. No matter what outsiders think of him, I always only think of him as me."
The only king of the Jin Dynasty was in chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty. The Sima clan brought chaos to the world, and then fled south to the east of the Yangtze River. The general Gou Xi who stayed in Qingzhou slaughtered every city and destroyed everything he passed, so that he was called the butcher. We
The elders of Qingzhou hate this Jin Dynasty devil more than the Hu people, and the word "begging for a living" is a true portrayal of the past. It is really difficult for us to continue to bow down to the Sima family. Sima Xiuzhi, what did you do back then?
Our ancestor, King Qiao, once provided military rations to the beggar army, which can be regarded as a favor to us. For this reason, we have always been grateful to your clan, but this does not mean that we have to forgive those Sima kings who caused trouble in the world.
"
Gao Yazhi nodded: "Yes, during the Eight Kings Rebellion, most of the aristocratic families and nobles from various places went south, but ordinary people did not have this condition, and most of them stayed in their hometown. Even so, they still had a narrow escape from death.
It became an extravagant hope. There were refugee commanders who went south to support the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there were also refugee commanders in the north who begged for a living. This was the source of the begging army. Ran Wei founded the country by begging for soldiers, and the killing of Hu Ling shocked the world. Right and wrong, merit and fault, and
How can it be that we, the people, can comment?”
Sima Xiuzhi gritted his teeth: "Then what happened to my benefactor? You sent away Liu Laozhi, Gao Su and other old beggar army subordinates, and continued to follow Ran Min?"
The black robe nodded: "Your Majesty was confused for a moment. He listened to the villain's words and proclaimed himself emperor. And out of jealousy, he killed another leader of the former beggar army and his ally Li Nong's family. As a result, everyone rebelled and were separated.
Many barbarians besieged him, and in the end he was defeated and his country was destroyed. However, he had actually expected this outcome. The reason why he still fought hard was to show all the barbarians that we Han men would rather die than surrender.
, so that they would not dare to persecute us northern Han people in the future. And before he left the city, he secretly left me the imperial seal and the begging token, and asked me to find an opportunity to transfer these two things to the Jin generals who were willing to come to Yecheng.
.”
Sima Xiu asked curiously: "Why is this? Why didn't he just send these two things to the Eastern Jin Dynasty for help?"
Heipao smiled bitterly and said: "Because he has established himself as emperor, he and the Jin Dynasty are already incompatible and cannot be reconciled, and his disciples are young and ineffective. They will definitely not survive the disaster of destroying the country. Even if they escape to Jin, they will
He was charged with treason and executed. The emperor of the Sima family had always only exercised power and had no military ability. The only heroes the Han people could count on were the sons of aristocratic families who dared to conquer the Central Plains in the north and cross the river to fight against the barbarians."
Liu Jingxuan's heart moved: "Is he talking about Huan Wen?"
The black robe sneered and said: "Although Huan Wen can be regarded as a hero in the world, he is not in His Majesty's eyes. In his opinion, Huan Wen is just fighting for power and usurping the throne, and does not really want to go to the Northern Expedition. Of course, if Huan Wen really takes the opportunity to send troops, he will
He was happy to offer these two things to Yecheng. In fact, after His Majesty came to the throne, he secretly contacted Huan Wen many times and invited him to join the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to expel the Huru. However, Huan Wen remained silent, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.
Only then did I disappoint His Majesty, and I became so angry that I regretted it too late!"
Gao Yazhi sighed: "It turns out that what happened back then and these hidden secrets were still there. In the end, it was Xie Yi who led the northern expedition to Yecheng and took away the jade seal and the begging token?"
The black robe shook his head: "Xie Yi is not a real hero. It is true that he arrived at the Yellow River. He sent his subordinate Dai Shi to lead more than a hundred strong men into the city. He said he was contacting our army and thought he was the outpost of the army. But in fact, he still
He was just waiting and watching. After hearing the news that His Majesty was defeated and captured in Liantai, Dai Shi deceived the jade seal and ran away first. In his opinion, the lives of the people in Yecheng and the begging token were all at stake.
, are all insignificant. This is also the reason why I was ultimately disappointed with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a family like the Xie family. In the end, I took this begging token and escaped from Yecheng, and lived in seclusion in Qilu without caring about worldly affairs."
Liu Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets about what happened back then. Did the black-robed senior still have any contact with my late father and the others later?"
The black robe said sternly: "After your father and others left His Majesty, they wandered between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers and became bandits. During Xie Yi's Northern Expedition, they took the initiative to join the army and wanted to use the power of the Jin army to fight back to Hebei. However, they did not expect that
That Northern Expedition ended with deceiving Yuxi back. They were as disappointed as me, and finally left the army and lived in Huaibei for a long time. Until the next Northern Expedition, Xie An served as an aide in Xie Wan's army. When passing by Huaibei,
He had many contacts with the cottages built by these veterans of the beggar army, and promised them that there would be a real Northern Expedition in the future, which would give them a place to use. So they were moved by it and were willing to be driven by it.
These funeral events are what you know."
Gao Yazhi nodded: "But why didn't the seniors form the Beifu Army together with Mr.
Are they like clouds?"
Heipao shook his head: "Because my hot blood has gone cold. From Xie Yi's deception, I discovered that neither the emperor nor the aristocratic family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty had any real intention of the Northern Expedition. They just wanted to take advantage of the Northern Expedition."
It’s just a fight for power and profit. They can’t see this clearly, and it’s in vain for me to persuade them. Didn’t the final facts prove that my idea is correct? To end this troubled world, there must be a real hero, and
I have never seen this hero before, neither Huan Wen nor Xie An!"
Sima Xiuzhi sighed: "We only found out not long ago that there is a dark organization like the Mafia that has been causing mischief behind the scenes, causing every success to fail!"
The black robe sneered and said: "Isn't that done by the powerful and wealthy people from these noble families? So, I came to Qidi to live in seclusion with a begging order. In the troubled times, this can be regarded as a peaceful place.
Even if Xie An makes another Northern Expedition, I am not optimistic about it and will not participate. Although your father once became the nominal commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army, I know very well that they are still just pawns and may be abandoned at any time.
"
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "If there had been any advice from my seniors, how could my late father have ended up like that!" Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled with tears and his vision began to blur.
