Yecheng.
Today is the tenth day of the lunar month.
As usual, we first entered a large court meeting.
After clearly declaring some obvious things.
Liu Yucai and a group of important ministers held the usual small court meeting in the back hall.
"What, Murong Xin reported, is he planning to promote the novice sect in the country of Cheshi?"
After hearing Xun Sui read the memorial, Liu Yu felt incredible.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what Murong Xin wrote in this memorial." Xun Sui said calmly.
In more than a dozen states in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, in accordance with Liu Yu's request, the novice religion was suppressed.
Only the White Horse Temple in Luoyang was left, and novice monks in other places were prohibited from setting up temples and accepting disciples at will.
Only some Hu merchants from the Western Regions were allowed to worship Buddha on their own in the post house.
Other Han soldiers and civilians are not allowed to become novice monks.
"Your Majesty has long promulgated a law banning Huru novice monks. How come Murong Xin still has the courage to report this matter? Does he feel that the court cannot punish him?"
Gongsun Sheng on the side began to get angry.
Gongsun Sheng knew that those novice monks who claimed to be virtuous and do good deeds were specialized in amassing money.
Moreover, he calls on the people to become monks, not to marry or have children, and to abandon their parents and clans. Apart from worshiping Buddha every day, they are complete idiots.
This kind of cult that does not care about production is simply more hateful than the absurd "celebrity romance".
Gongsun Sheng was naturally extremely hostile.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the Murong Xin clan, now that they have gone to the Western Regions, actually know how to use evil to treat evil."
Liu Yu took the memorial and after reading it, he immediately understood Murong Xin's intention.
It turned out that Murong Xianbei's army quickly captured Jinpu City after receiving the internal response from the novice monks of Cheshi Kingdom.
The chariot king, Mituyanna, led a very small number of followers to flee, and the entire area around Jinpu City fell into the hands of Murong Xianbei.
Among them, there was a novice monk from the Western Regions called "Zhilenghu", who was the most important contributor.
He tried his best to promote the novice religion, and Murong Xin came forward to report it.
"Your Majesty, do you want to agree to Murong Xin?" Gongsun Sheng was a little surprised.
"Yes, I really want to promise him." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Why is this? Isn't Your Majesty the novice monk who hates the barbarians in the Western Regions the most?" Gongsun Sheng was puzzled.
"Haha, I hate them preaching in the Central Plains, but if they go to the Western Regions, 89% of the residents there will be barbarians, and even the Xianbei people will be a minority."
Liu Yu stood up, walked slowly and continued.
"Murong Xianbei's great victory, although the force of force is a great deterrent, in order to rule those barbarians, a gentle policy is still necessary."
"This novice sect's gentle policy is the most appropriate."
"With the rise of novice monks, the barbarians in the Western Regions will inevitably become even more weak."
"In this case, even if Murong Xianbei gains a firm foothold in the local area, his Xianbei tribe will definitely be greatly affected over time."
"The tiger and the wolf pulled out their fangs themselves. That would be a good thing for us."
After listening to Liu Yu's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.
Although Shamanism is not a good thing, if it is used to paralyze the enemy, it is the best strategy.
"Send someone to tell Murong Xuan that he conquered Cheshi Kingdom and captured Jinpu City, which is a great achievement."
"Of course, it is nothing to build some novice temples to pastor and protect the barbarian people."
"However, the old land of Cheshi Kingdom east of Jinshan is not allowed to be touched. I want to set up garrison there to house the Yi Cong soldiers and horses under Ran Long and his son."
Xi Jian was immediately worried when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, Murong Xin, has defeated the Cheshi Kingdom and gained great prestige. What if he forcibly demands the old land of the Cheshi Kingdom in the east and he refuses to submit, and then rebels?"
Liu Yu didn't care at all.
"Haha, there's no need to worry about this."
"Murong Xianbei has already conquered Jinpucheng, so he naturally knows the strength of the countries in the Western Regions."
"As powerful as the Cheshi Kingdom is, it is just a soft persimmon that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
"The small countries farther west are not easy to capture."
"With so many benefits waiting for them, how can they care about some pastures and fields in Dongche Division?"
Liu Yu's words indeed hit the point.
When the envoy from Yecheng, carrying a brand-new edict, traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at Jinpucheng.
It’s already spring again.
"Father, what did the emperor of Yecheng say in his edict?"
Murong Han, who was leading Xianbei athletes on inspection outside, had just entered the city.
Came over immediately to inquire.
Strangely enough, since the capture of Jinpucheng, Murong Xin, who was originally ill, has gradually improved again.
Not only has the original disease gradually improved, it can even be said that the body has become stronger.
In just one winter, three car masters' concubines became pregnant in one breath.
There is quite a posture of getting stronger with age.
For Murong Han, he was already lagging behind in terms of inheritance rights.
Now that Murong Xi has been resurrected with full blood and is ready to continue creating humans, this is simply adding to the trouble for his second brother Murong Huang.
Murong Han's mood has suddenly improved recently.
"The Emperor, I have already agreed." Murong Xuan said slowly.
"Then father, why are you still a little depressed?" Murong Han was a little confused.
Since the capture of Jinpucheng, good times have come for the Xianbei people.
First, they looted a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and food, and then subdued a large number of Che masters as lackeys.
Soon he was living a life like a master.
The only drawback is that many Cheshi people are devout novice monks.
They all hoped that Murong Xianbei would support their novice religion instead of suppressing the novice religion according to the Han laws thousands of miles away.
Therefore, it is now recognized by the emperor.
Then Murong Xianbei could let go of his hands and take advantage of the opportunity to recruit a group of novice monks for his own use.
"The emperor of the Han people wants Dongcheshi's territory from us." Murong Xin said with a frown.
"East driver?"
Murong Han naturally knew where this was.
That was the eastern corridor through which they entered Cheshi Country from the grassland.
In the entire Cheshi Kingdom, it is not a prosperous place.
What's more, the Xianbei people had already looted the place.
"It's just a barren land, just leave it to the Han people. Can they still conjure a million-strong army out of thin air?"
Murong Han felt that for the Han people, that territory was simply an enclave.
At most, less than five thousand soldiers and horses could be placed, and the rest must be all barbarian servants from the grasslands.
Nothing too threatening.
As long as Murong Xianbei keeps his face as a loyal minister, that's all.
"Dong Che Division is the portal, and I have already made plans to distribute it to those tribesmen."
Murong Xin said unwillingly.
"If it is claimed by the Han people, it will be a loss of habitat for tens of thousands of people."
"And there are more monitors at key points."
After hearing what his father said, Murong Han didn't take it seriously.
"Father, I don't think there's anything to worry about."
"Oh, why are you so confident?"
"Father, there are actually three reasons why the child is so confident."
"Which three, tell me." Murong Xin became curious.
"First, the Dongche Division is far away from the Central Plains. Even though thousands of Han troops have been deployed, they are all homesick. As time goes by, they must have no intention of garrisoning, and they will gradually become deserted."
"Back when the Han people were in charge of Zhenfan and other four counties, they were also abandoned for the same reason."
"You know, the four counties of Zhenfan are still close to the Central Plains, but they are thousands of miles apart to the east of Cheshi."
After hearing this analysis, Murong Xin felt that it made sense and kept nodding.
Murong Han continued to speak.
"The second reason is that the Cheshi Kingdom has been captured by my father. The remaining oases and towns in the west are richer than those in the east, and they have not experienced plunder by weapons."
"If these towns are used to make up for the tribes originally resettled in the east, it will only make them happier and more loyal."
After this period of exploration, the Xianbei people already knew the nature of these Western Region charioteers.
They are all born to sit on the fence.
In addition to being better at bluffing than the Xianbei people, they were far inferior in fighting with real swords and guns.
Therefore, a group of Xianbei people represented by Murong Han had already regarded the large area of Cheshi City to the west of Jinpucheng as their own property.
"It makes sense. Then tell me, what is the third one?" Murong Xuan thought about it and said.
"Father, as for the third place, that is the general trend of the world." Murong Han said with a proud look on his face.
"The general trend of the world? What do you mean?" Murong Xuan asked.
"Father, have you forgotten that in Jiangdong, there is an emperor of the Jin Dynasty and a group of generals and princes of the Jin Dynasty."
"Yes, I really almost forgot about them." Murong Xin patted his head.
The long and bumpy journey made Murong Xin a little unfamiliar with judging the situation in the Central Plains.
"The emperor of the Han people has great ambitions and will never sit back and watch the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty for too long."
"When Emperor Wu of Jin defeated Sun Wu, he even used hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Now Sima Rui, Wang Dun and others are much stronger than Sun Hao. If the Han people want to cross the river, why can't they have the same number of soldiers and horses?"
"After all this preparation, how can I still have the energy to take care of the driver?"
After hearing this, Murong Xi roughly understood what his son meant.
Since the Han people are definitely unable to maintain it for a long time, even if Dongche Division is given to the Han people, it doesn't matter.
Even if there are any more frictions and disputes.
Dongcheshi is not enough to influence Murong's department.
After all, without the support of the Central Plains, it would be impossible to make Murong and his son submit, who already had a foundation in the Cheshi Kingdom, just with the troops of the Xiazhou Governor's Department.
"Father, now we have occupied Jinpucheng. The vastness of the Western Region is far beyond what we heard before."
"The sea is vast enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Why should we care about a small driver?"
"When we have conquered Yanqi, Qiuci, Shule, Guimo, Wusun and other countries, will we still care about a small Cheshi Dongfang?"
Murong Han, who had no intention of giving up, was now trying his best to encourage his father's ambition to conquer the West!
