Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "Your idea is good, but it may not be easy to implement. If Liu Yu can really pardon you, then he will further conflict with the aristocratic families. It will be difficult to order these Jiangnan aristocratic families. . However, this is also an opportunity for our clan. You can take our Murong clan and take the opportunity to help Liu Yu, especially let the children of the clan enter Liu Yu's official schools in large numbers. In the future, we can take the opportunity to control A place for funeral arrangements."
Murong Lan shook his head: "Murong Chui, even now, you still don't give up. You still think that our Murong clan will have a chance to fight back and rise in the future. It is really hopeless."
Murong Chui's expression changed: "Aren't you a descendant of the Murong family? Don't you want to be responsible for the future of your clan and descendants?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "Just because I am a descendant of the Murong family, I am responsible for their lives. As for the future and destiny, that is not something I can control. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Everyone has his own path. Go, all I can do is to help them transform from the descendants of the Murong family into Central Plains Chinese and Han people, so that they can live well in the future and live as the people of the Jin Dynasty."
Murong Chui's eyes widened: "Childish, your life is in someone's hands, how can you live well?! Even if Liu Yu can protect you for a while, he can't protect you for the rest of your life!"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "My eldest brother, have we just talked in vain? What Liu Yu wants is not this kind of rule of man based on people, but a rule of country where everyone is equal and the national law ensures that everyone has equal opportunities as much as possible. The rule of law, From now on, what can protect my Murong clan for generations to come is not Liu Yu, nor me, Murong Lan, but the rules and systems established. Even those who wield great power in the world can no longer use it for their own selfish purposes. The power to punish and kill others at will. Do you understand?"
Murong Chui's eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed: "This kind of thing sounds good, but it is too difficult to implement. Everyone wants to be king and emperor, isn't it because they want the power of life and death? ?How can we do big things without this power?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "This is not necessarily the case. Just like in our grassland tribes, tribal leaders and leaders can execute their slaves at will without taking any responsibility. But among the Han people in the Central Plains, even servants and tribes are not You can kill at will, and killing without reason is a crime punished by national law. Although the master kills a servant, the crime is reduced by one level and does not have to pay for life. But at least the Han people in the Central Plains agree that slaves are also human beings and cannot take lives casually. With this understanding, I think the popularization of Liu Yu’s law that everyone is equal is not as difficult as you think.”
Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "It was only after the Han people in the Central Plains changed from slavery in the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty to the feudal world, in order to make slaves become common people and increase the strength of the country. But this process lasted for thousands of years. For hundreds of years, it was through war that countries and princes who did not kill slaves at will accepted a large number of escaped slaves from slavery and won in the war, so that the people of the world could slowly recognize this. Liu Yu wanted to take this step further. It’s a big step, but I don’t think he can definitely make it.”
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "As long as the superiors have this awareness and have this idea, they can naturally implement it through the power in their hands. Just like this attack on Dayan, it was generally opposed by the whole Jin Dynasty, but it was implemented. And I We have already made an agreement with Wang Miaoyin that although we, the Murong clan, will be dispersed and separated, there will be a certain transitional period during which we will be taught how to farm, gradually get rid of the nomadic life, and become people like the Han people in the Central Plains. "
Murong Chui frowned: "In that case, our Murong family is good at riding and shooting, and the advantage of being powerful in fighting will be gone. In the long run, we will be no different from farmers in the Central Plains."
Murong Lan said calmly: "If you want to integrate into the Central Plains, just like these Han and Jin people, this step will be a matter of time. If you regard yourself as a special group and only fight wars and don't pay taxes, it will give rise to many irregularities." If you think about it, there will be various internal battles, and this is the only thing I can do."
Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "Even if we want to be like the Han people in the future, when we have just defeated the war and recruited troops, we can't give up all of a sudden, break up and let others slaughter us. How did the Qin Dynasty end that year? Isn't that right? Fu Jian's brain burned out and he scattered the Di tribes. Eventually, the world changed. Han and barbarian people from all over the country attacked these Di tribes. They themselves couldn't support each other, so they lost the world?"
Murong Lan sighed: "Brother, this time our country is destroyed, dead. This is the result of all the Murong clan members gathering together. Is it meaningful for you to discuss dispersion and concentration again? Now it's people They spared our lives and gave us a chance to stay in the Central Plains as common people, so how could we have any room for bargaining?"
Murong Chui said in a deep voice: "Whether they give it or not is their business. Now you have to fight for the interests of your own people as a descendant of the Murong clan. If Liu Yu wants to implement his system of equality for everyone, he will inevitably If you have a conflict with the aristocratic family represented by Wang Miaoyin, this is a good opportunity for you to survive in death!"
"As a representative of the Murong clan, you must support Liu Yu and at the same time protect yourself so that we, the Murong clan, as a whole, as a family, can guard Liu Yu's territory in Qingzhou."
"You can also take the initiative to ask for help and send some of your elite troops to follow Liu Yu back to quell the Tianshi Dao rebellion and find opportunities to perform meritorious deeds. Only in this way can we as a whole be protected from being divided. If the time changes in the future, we will have a chance to rise again. You Don’t you even understand this?”
Murong Lan said calmly: "There is no need for this. From now on, we will all be the people of the Jin Dynasty, and we will be self-reliant like the Han people. If there are people in the Jin Dynasty who like the military, we can be like military households and soldiers. But We are also accepting the orders of the Jin State, and we will no longer be managed by our surname Murong. Brother, you better give up your idea of supporting the army with self-respect and separatist power. This is nothing more than unwillingness to give up the power of the Murong family. That’s all, this ambition will only harm the tribe.”
Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "You are confused, and you have no power. How can you guarantee the lives of your clan members? How will you meet your ancestors after you die?"
Murong Lan said coldly: "I can deal with the situation you have put in such a situation, so that the clan can save their lives and stay in the Central Plains to survive in the future. I, Murong Lan, will be worthy of my clan at all times, and I will not be afraid to go after my death." Meet the ancestors. But you, brother, you should think carefully now about how to explain all this to your ancestors after you die!"
