Chapter 33 [Han Family's Past]
"The agreement between the Han family and the Yan State?" Han Mo frowned and pondered, but soon asked with a smile: "Dad, what do you mean is the agreement between our ancestor Tianya Gong and the Yan State?"
Han Xuanchang's eyes shined. When he mentioned the name "Han Tianya", every member of the Han family would feel the supreme glory...
Han Tianya, the King of Donghai a hundred years ago, and now the ancestor of the Han family in the East China Sea, exists like a god in the hearts of the Han family.
"Mo'er, you have read history books, so you should know why the next four points are coming today?" Han Xuanchang and Han Mo both have a habit of holding their hands on their chins, giving people the feeling that they are always thinking.
Han Mo sat upright and said with a serious look: "Jin ruled over the Three Kingdoms, divided into the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and unified the world for two hundred years. The world was chaotic and the rise of the four countries has been here to this day, and it has been established for a hundred years but cannot be unified."
This is recorded in "History of Han". Han Mo knew clearly when he was three years old. He was extremely shocked at that time by the change in the historical direction.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties were not unified in the hands of Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, but Qi unified the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which lasted for two hundred years. Qi collapsed, the world was in chaos, and the princes rose up everywhere, fighting and annexing each other, forming the current four countries.
The Western Wei was a country established by descendants of the Jin royal family. It always aimed to restore the world of Jin. Qing Kingdom was actually the foundation left by Qi. The Qing Kingdom was originally a relative of Yan State. It formed a powerful force to replace Qi State, which also caused chaos in the world. As for Nanfeng State, the terrain was steep, poor mountains and bad waters, it was a small place that everyone did not care about at the time, but now it has also formed a climate, and the residents of Nanfeng State established themselves as their country.
Speaking of Yan State, it is when Yan State founding emperor King Wu of Yan accumulated the power of aristocratic families in troubled times and created the foundation of Yan State. It is precisely because it was with the support of aristocratic families that led to great trouble in Yan State that the great diseases of Yan State were left, and the aristocratic families were power.
...
Han Xuanchang nodded with satisfaction and said, "A person can know nothing, but he cannot forget his ancestors and roots!"
"Dad taught me a lesson." Han Mo said respectfully: "The child will remember that he is from Donghai and the descendants of Donghai King Tianya Gong."
Han Xuanchang said slowly: "You must have heard that Tianya Gong was just a fisherman on the banks of the East China Sea. At that time, the Qi court was debauchery and imposed tyrants, and did not care about the lives of the people, and had as many tyrants as a cow. The old people often said that selling children and daughters at that time, eating leaves to satisfy hunger was not false, or even more bitter than that."
Han Mo's eyes twitched slightly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
"History of Han" is a document compiled by Qing State, so it is not taboo to describe and exaggerate the true history of Qi State. The original * of Qi State was clearly described in "History of Han". Han Mo once saw the sufferings of the people in it, and the outline that the situation that the people were not as good as death was worse than being in a dire strait, was shed tears.
"Tianya Gong is on the banks of the East China Sea and belongs to the people of Qi, so naturally he cannot escape such anger." Han Xuanchang's face was slightly angry: "After Tianya Gong's father was beaten to death by the Qi Yaman, Tianya Gong took his three brothers into the yamen at night, slashed the head of the fainted official, and killed thirteen violent officials, and then four of them took a boat to get off the East China Sea!"
Speaking of this, not only did Han Xuanchang's face turn rosy and his eyes shining with excitement. Even Han Mo couldn't help but be solemn and fascinated. He recalled Han Tianya's heroic appearance and heroic look back then!
"The State of Qi has not decreased, and more and more residents of the East China Sea went into the sea to follow Tianya Gong. Two years later, Tianya Gong had more than 50 warships and more than 60,000 subordinates. The East China Sea pirates looked back and all called Tianya Gong the King of Donghai, dominating the East China Sea." Han Xuanchang used his pen and guided him, as if he had returned to the great era of the Han family: "At that time, the East China Sea King followed the people's will and took over Donghai County, and he was like a prince, and he was even more heroic to compete with the heroes of the world!"
"There are descendants of the royal family of Jin in the west, and the Qing Kingdom's foreign relatives in the north. The south is poor and the mountains and rivers are bad, and the east is vast and the people are numerous, and the resources are rich. A generation of heroes, King Wu of Yan, wanted to visit the east, unite several families, occupy several counties in the east, and also fought with Tianya Gong several times, each with the Tianya Gong, each with a victory or defeat. In terms of the Yanwu King, he was also a talented figure. He knew that the Tianya Gong had a great East China Sea and a powerful navy. Even if he was defeated by the land, he could retreat to the East China Sea and counterattack the land at any time."
Han Mo laughed and said, "Since King Wu of Yan is smart, he should know that our Han family is not afraid of him fighting, so he thought of having a peace talk with Tianya Gong."
Han Xuanchang nodded proudly and said, "Yes. King Wu of Yan sent envoys to the East China Sea to discuss peace talks. The Duke of Tianya was pity for the people who suffered from war for many years. The people were living in poverty. He was willing to stop his war and let the people live a peaceful life. That year, King Wu of Yan personally talked with Duke Tianya himself. In half a day, he regarded him as a confidant. Since then, Duke of Tianya followed King Wu of Yan to conquer the eastern part. In just three years, the six counties in the eastern part returned to King Wu of Yan. My ancestor Tianya was one of the nine heroes in the founding country. The Han family became one of the nine major families, with a cabinet occupying one seat, and he was loyal to the court!"
That was the most glorious moment of the Han family and an era when the Han clan members were excited.
The "East Sea Alliance" has officially stepped onto the stage of the empire and has also become a noble family!
In the hearts of the Han clan and the people of Donghai County, who can forget the spirit of Han Tianya traversing the East China Sea a hundred years ago, and how many people want to return to the Han family's majestic era?
"But, since my Han family has Donghai County, why do you need the court's permission to go to sea to collect pearls?" Han Mo asked in confusion, but deep down he guessed some reason, he leaned over slightly, leaned over and whispered: "Dad, is it the court that the Han family is afraid that the growth of my Han family will be replaced?"
Han Xuanchang waved his hand gently and said softly: "Don't say anything taboo in the future."
"yes!"
"Actually, what you said is not bad." Han Xuanchang sighed: "If it comes to the abundant resources, the entire Yan State is probably the first-class in the East China Sea. The strength and weakness of a family, in addition to the unity and tenacity within the family, is the most important thing, that it requires money and a large amount of money."
Han Mo nodded and said, "I know that food, drink, defecation and urination are inseparable from money, let alone the strength of a family."
"If our Han family is allowed to go into the sea to collect pearls and collect coral sea treasures, once we sell them, then there is no need to worry about the silver. It will pour into our family in large quantities. We are one of the nine gentry families, and we are deeply rooted in Donghai County. With silver, we have great momentum, so how can the court not be afraid?" Han Xuanchang said seriously: "So when Tianya Gong was still alive, King Wu of Yan thought of this and reached an agreement with Tianya Gong, who was unwilling to provoke disputes. Our Han family is not allowed to go into the sea without authorization to collect pearl coral sea treasures. We can only go into the sea a few times a year and take a batch as tribute to the court. Tianya Gong agreed to this request, but also proposed that in addition to the little sea treasures that handed over tributes every year, the court should not order Donghai County to collect sea treasures and submit them to the court, so as not to waste the people and make the people of Donghai County unhappy to live!"
"For this reason, our Han family will not go into the sea?" Han Mo asked with a blink of an eye.
Han Xuanchang nodded and said, "That's true. First, our Han family's children cannot violate the agreement between our ancestors and the court. Second, the court has secretly sent people to observe the movements of our Han family and pick pearls privately. If they are known by the court or ulterior motives, it will not benefit our Han family and will cause a lot of trouble."
"So that's it!" Han Mo thought.
It turns out that the Han family did not pick pearls privately, and there was such a reason behind it. The ancestral teachings were ones, and it was ones who took into account the attacks of the court or other forces.
The father and son both pondered for a while, holding their chins, as if they were both bored by the Han family's situation.
"So this time Dad thought the court would let us go to the sea?"
Han Xuanchang picked up the wine pot himself, filled the wine, drank it all, and sighed, "Being a father is now worried about this."
Han Mo immediately stepped forward and picked up the wine pot, poured wine for Han Xuanchang again, then sat next to Han Xuanchang, put his elbow on the table, held his cheek, looked at Han Xuanchang and said, "What are you worried about when Daddy?"
Han Xuanchang saw that Han Mo's eyes were as bright as stars, and seemed to know everything. He was very relieved and said softly: "In my father's heart, I naturally hope that the court can allow our Han family to go to sea to collect pearls and pay the stolen tax silver with pearls. Your uncle and the Han family's officials in Yanjing will definitely do their best to get the court to issue an order to do so." He suddenly clenched his fists, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "But the great families of the Xiao family and the Su family are unwilling to do so.
I want to satisfy my Han family. They will definitely use various reasons to prevent the court from issuing an order to allow our Han family to go to sea to collect pearls, but instead persuade the court to let the people of Donghai County bear the tax and silver payment. If that is true... hehe, that is to force the people of Donghai County to rebel, force our Han family to rebel, and then take the opportunity to get rid of our Han family. With the excuse of openness, if those families unite and attack our Donghai County under the court, our Han family will not be able to resist."
Han Mo was frightened when he heard this. He really couldn't have imagined that he would kill Xiao Jing and hide the tax silver. Hence, he set up a maze, which would actually cause such great trouble to the Han family.
Almost all he wanted to tell what happened that night, then take out the hidden silver and pay the tax silver.
But soon he realized that this was unrealistic. Once the tax bank was taken out and others knew that the matter was done by the Han family, the situation of the Han family would be even more dangerous.
He felt sad.
"Actually, there is no need to worry." Seeing Han Mo's expression depressed, Han Xuanchang thought he was worried about the future of the Han family. He gently patted Han Mo on the shoulder and said warmly: "Your uncle is powerful in Yanjing, and not all families want our Han family to collapse so soon. Now the Ye and Wu families in Bozhou County are ready to move, and the court dares not really force our Han family to join the Ye and Wu families. In most cases, the court will allow our Han family to go into the sea. Mo'er, my father tells you this, just to let you know that our Han family seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is facing challenges every moment. You children of the Han family must work hard and practice literature and martial arts, so that our Han family can maintain enough wisdom and force, so that we can protect the Han family and protect the people of the East China Sea!"
Han Mo said solemnly: "Children follow his father's teachings and dare not neglect them!"
Han Xuanchang smiled faintly, looking relieved.
