Three Kingdoms

Fei lurked in the palace to watch Shanshan's jokes, forcing Bu Sen to lower his head and look at the swords and spears raised towards the Shanshan people before the Shanshan Palace. However, the officials of all sizes in the Shanshan Royal City did not pay any attention to the one in Shanshan. What will be the fate of the old cavalry commander or Tong Grojia? Instead, they try their best to get close to Lu Yu, Xue Ping and other military officials and show off their abilities.

 For these officials in Shanshan State, they are officials and their political assets are greater than their traditional assets, so whether they can keep their original official positions is very important to them. Even if they cannot maintain their original position, they must at least have a hat. If they are reduced to unemployed people and lose their official hat, it will really cost them their lives.

In order to save their lives, they can immediately kneel down in front of the hussars commanded by Fei Qian and put on the biggest smile they can to every Han Chinese, as if today is not the day of national destruction, let alone Shan Good Friday, but they seem to have gained a new life.

 As for Tongluojia…

Who is that?

 There is also Shanshan Kingdom…

What is that?

 Subjugation of the country or subjugation of the world?

 This is a very interesting question.

  Shanshan State did not have a very complete political system. Although Shanshan Kingdom is already a country that has settled in an oasis, it seems that it has not completely gotten rid of the nomads. The structure of big and small kings, left and right generals, etc., although it can maximize the ability of leaders to stand up and control the people when various accidents occur, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulties and risks of centralization.

 No matter where people are from, no matter what dynasty they are officials, their natures tend to be the same.

 Things that are good for oneself must be done by many people.

 Things that are good for the country, but not good for oneself, will be done by fewer people.

If it is only good for others but harmful to oneself, then those who will do it are very rare.

 So is it important for Tong Geluojia or some old man to have his own job?

Xue Ping understands some Hu languages, including Xiongnu and Qiang. Shanshan is close to Nuoqiang, so there are many people who know Qiang. Therefore, Qiang has become a third-party language, building a bridge.

 Lu Yu arrived at Longyou earlier and had considerable experience in people's livelihood affairs, so he became a counselor with the army. He was now mainly responsible for the registration of these old officials of Shanshan Kingdom.

 If you just register, of course it is easy.

  Just like the government workers of later generations of the United States.

 What to do?

 Fill out the form first.

 The watch is over there, get it yourself.

 If you fill it in wrongly, please fill it in again.

 Standard style, see for yourself.

 The main theme is a self-help program, which can demonstrate the right of the people of the United States to be the masters of their own country.

If Lu Yu did the same thing, it would be easy, but it would not be helpful for Hussar to govern the Western Regions. Therefore, he not only had to register on the spot, but also recorded some of his observations and suggestions according to the situation and provided them to Fei potential reference.

Shanshan State is currently approaching the end of slave society. In the early days of the feudal dynasty, there were a large number of slaves in the country, but these slaves did not completely lack their own private property. Some of the "beggars" that Feiqian Taishici saw when he entered the city were actually slaves in Shanshan.

The slavery system in Shanshan has obviously failed to keep up with the requirements of the times, and conflicts between upper and lower levels have gradually intensified...

If a completely closed society builds visible or invisible high walls, then in most cases these slaves in the Shanshan Kingdom will not have any idea, because the surrounding environment is like this and they cannot be seen. What kind of project can be used for comparison? Unfortunately, Shanshan State is an oasis country and it is impossible not to communicate with the outside world, so there is a control group.

 Why is this happening?

 Why do others have it but not us?

 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

 So most national leaders don’t want the people to know that they are “unequal”…

  If we talk to the people at the bottom of Shanshan State, those differences are the basic national conditions, issues left over from history, etc., it may indeed have a temporary alleviating effect, but it cannot always be a problem left over from history?

 Ten, twenty, or thirty years have passed, but are there still restrictions on population movement, restrictions on household registration changes, and restrictions on people changing from slave status to free citizens?

At the same time, those nobles are still nobles. Even if they are a fool, they have no other merits other than shouting "Who is my father and my grandfather?" How can he still live freely and enjoy good food and clothing?

The domestic conflicts in Shanshan have intensified, and the people at the bottom are unwilling to work hard because they know that hard work will not bring them any benefits, except that they will die of exhaustion earlier and avoid the pain of old age. The middle class is suppressed by the old aristocrats at the top and has no choice but to be the dogs of the old aristocrats.

 And now, there is one more way...

 It’s like being a dog anyway.

You can't get anything by being a dog for the old nobles of Shanshan, so why can't you be a dog for the new owner?

Therefore, those who crowded in front of Lu Yu and Xue Ping were almost all middle-level officials in Shanshan Kingdom. The old nobles basically tried to maintain a reserved posture. Even if they sent people to come, they would hold their heads high. , showing the dignity of his bloodline.

"What? Did your ancestors shed blood for the Shanshan Kingdom? Lu Yu's eyes widened, "Then what are you doing here?" It’s not like your ancestors shed blood for big men! Next! 』

The man wanted to say something more, but the man behind him squeezed him away, and then said with a humble smile, "My name is Nil Maimaiti... I am very good at time and arithmetic. I was originally the arithmetician of the Lieutenant General... I have admired the Kingdom for a long time. Since I was a child, I have sworn to serve the Kingdom. Now I am finally looking forward to the Kingdom's arrival...I, I am so excited, so excited...Please allow me to sing a song Song, to express..."

"Can't understand. Xue Ping said in a deep voice, "You spoke too fast. Say it again." Slow down, there's something wrong with your accent. 』

"Uh..." The man swallowed, wanting to say that his Qiang was accurate and fluent, and Xue Ping's Qiang was the problem, but after thinking about it, he honestly slowed down his speech. Come down and say it again.

　　　　Okay, remember it. Next! ” Lu Yu made a note of it, waved his hands, and didn’t care whether he was singing or not. When he looked up and saw the next person coming, he couldn’t help but be startled.

 The person who came was an old man with white beard and hair.

Isn’t this too old?

Let’s not talk about thirty-five. I’m afraid this is at least sixty-five, maybe even seventy-five!

If you hold any official position, if you die in office, who will be counted?

Lu Yu and Xue Ping looked at each other.

Xue Ping said to the old man who came: "You...at your age...look at your hair, it's all white..."

The meaning of Lu Yu and Xue Ping is very clear. At such an old age, don't be attached to power. Wouldn't it be good to spend your remaining years at home? But obviously, the old man didn't appreciate it. He said with a serious face: "No, no, I am not old!" Although this hair is white now, as long as you use me, this hair can become black..."

 "Turn black..." Lu Yu and Xue Ping both laughed helplessly.

 Dark it?

The old man also laughed and was very proud, as if he told a very happy joke.

"All right. Lu Yu could only pick up the pen and said, "Here, tell me what you can do?" 』

  The old man was very excited, chattering and dancing from time to time, as if he wanted to prove in front of Lu Yu and Xue Ping that he was still young and his body was still very flexible...

 Behind the old man, there was a whole row of people, all the way from the corridor outside Lu Yuxueping's temporary house to the courtyard.

 The soldiers on duty outside the courtyard looked up at the sky and prepared to close the door.

A few Shanshan people came hurriedly from the corner of the street. When they saw the soldiers on duty closing the door, they originally walked slowly and step by step, but then they started chirping, then picked up their robes and ran towards here.

The soldiers didn't understand the nonsense, so they didn't care at all and closed the door with a bang.

Several Shanshan officials who arrived late immediately collapsed to the ground, pulled open the door and cried loudly...

 Did you stop registering the next day?

It seems not, but for these Shanshan officials, one day late seems to be a lifetime late.

 This is actually a very interesting question.

　…ヾ(^▽^ヾ)…

 Another interesting issue is the covenant. The covenant is indeed a very wonderful thing.

  Neither a real thing nor a mere language.

It is binding but useless. When someone wants to tear up the covenant, someone will betray it at any time, but everyone knows this when they sign the covenant.

　　Signing an agreement that will be broken in the future is like a boy and a girl promising each other that they will be together for the rest of their lives. After they have **** in bed, it won’t be long before they have **** and have their hair done.

 What is the duration of a promise or a covenant?

The conditions for the imperial palace have been almost negotiated, and the Shanshan Kingdom will become the front and back Shanshan, just like the previous Cheshi Kingdom.

 In the former Shanshan, it was ruled by the little prince Loushan of Shanshan, which was an area closer to Xihai City. In the later Shanshan Kingdom, Tong Geluojia naturally continued to be the king.

 After the general direction is determined, it becomes a matter of small details.

Fei Qian left these matters to Tai Shici and asked him to talk to the officials. On the other side of the open space outside Wanni City, where the city wall collapsed, work began to level the ground, build high platforms and dig pits.

 As for the standard of covenant etiquette, Lu Yu suggested to Fei Qian that he should imitate the ancient etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh, this is another smart man, so he agreed with a smile.

 In the ancient rituals of the Spring and Autumn Period, there must be a high platform for the covenant, and there must also be a pit called the Fangkan. This symbolizes the universe, the high platform is like a mountain, and the square is like water, which also represents mountains and rivers. Incense and blood are used as the main process of the covenant. The gods prove it and the covenant is completed.

 Outside the city, the selection of the covenant animals has begun.

 Farther away, there are the people of Shanshan and other Hu people in the Western Region who are confused, scared, expectant, and curious.

Fei Qian looked at it and then laughed.

The scene in front of me seems to be inexplicably similar to some scenes in later generations, and there is some overlap between them...

Fei Qian said slowly: "Allies, kill animals and take blood, and swear to God." hehe…"

Fei Qian turned to Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, who do you think is the God of the Western Regions now?" The "god" you swear to, who is this "god"? Is it the God of the Han Dynasty or the God of the Western Regions? Or is it the God of the five directions, the Buddhist Buddha? Why has no one commented on it since the Spring and Autumn Period? 』

Xu Chu instinctively wanted to say that he was the God of the Han Dynasty, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "My lord, what you mean is that this covenant...is not proved by gods?" 』

In fact, this is not such a blasphemous word, because indeed from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, there is not only one person who signed a covenant and then betrayed it. It can even be said that the vast majority of covenants were torn up in the end, but there was no such thing. I heard that whoever breaks the covenant will be punished by God...

Then two problems inevitably arise, one is that God does not care at all, and the other is that God cannot control it.

 The speculations in these two aspects point in the same direction. The covenant is actually very limited in its binding force.

Since it is limited, why establish a covenant?

Hence Xu Chu also found it difficult to answer, that is to say, there was no divine evidence.

 But is there really no "divine" witness?

If it is true that there is no "God" to prove, why not just find a dark room, write a few sentences and call it a day? Anyway, everyone knows that the covenant signed is to break the covenant, and the duration of the covenant only depends on the balance of power between the two parties. In this case, we only need to look at the national strength of each country, so why bother building high platforms and digging ridges with great fanfare?

 Just to achieve formalism?

 In fact, it is not that simple.

Fei Qian smiled and looked into the distance meaningfully. Just when he was about to say something, a soldier came to report that a "spy" had been caught...

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment and asked someone to bring him up.

The spy looks like a Central Asian, with deep eyes, a tall nose and a big beard. He has a turban wrapped around his head. He looks like Uncle Ben at first glance.

Well, this is certainly not Fei Qian or Fei Qian's men judging people by their appearance. After all, in the Western Region, there are many people with Central Asian appearance. Not all of them may be spies, but because this person not only intentionally approached the prohibited area, but was caught After that, not only could he not tell his clear origin, but he also carried a short blade and poison with him.

If you just bring a short blade, you might be able to get away with it. After all, in the Western Regions, many people will carry a knife with them when eating red food, just like people who work in later generations bring their own chopsticks when going out. There is no problem. , at most, the chopsticks are just longer and sharper. I really want to say that the purpose of bringing chopsticks is to assassinate the unscrupulous boss...

  But before the stabbing, no one would believe it if employees brought chopsticks just to commit murder. Therefore, it is recommended that all employees at work carry stainless steel chopsticks, which are clean and hygienic and will not easily breed bacteria.

And poison is not something that ordinary people can have...

　　　　Who are you trying to kill? Fei Qian said with a smile, "Are you here to kill me?" 』

 Translation Jijigugu’s retelling.

The Central Asian-looking man raised his head and glanced at Fei Qian. His eyes seemed to be very calm, without any hatred or other fluctuations, "That's okay." 』

"Um? " Fei Qian looked at the assassin's expression and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is his relationship just okay? Although the matter of being assassinated happened step by step from Fei Qian's appointment as General Zhonglang to General Zhengxi and General Hussar, so much so that Fei Qian even prepared a substitute at some stage, but he never I haven't heard that when the spies wanted to assassinate him, they just said "it's okay".

 Like a dispensable foil?

This is really new...

Fei Qian basically has no substitute now. On the one hand, the big man does not have the black technology of stick, so it is difficult to find a similar substitute. On the other hand, even if he finds a substitute, he can only be similar at a certain stage. As time goes by, the similarities will become more and more similar. There will be fewer and fewer, and the differences will become larger and larger.

This is not only a difference in temperament, but also in appearance. When a substitute is no longer similar, there is naturally no way to become a "substitute".

Feiqian simply strengthened the defense of the inner and outer circles, especially the investigation of the outer circle. The inner circle is naturally guarded by Xu Chu and others with shields, while the outer circle is a defense line arranged according to different terrains and different points. Just like now, Feiqian's inner circle is guarded by Xu Chu, and the outer circle extends to three to four hundred steps away. The inner guard battalion and the heavy armor battalion are jointly on guard to patrol the people coming and going.

Many assassins will be cautious when approaching the target, but when they are still far away from the target, they are not so careful. There will be flaws in their expressions and behaviors, and there is no reason to approach people in the warning area at will. Naturally, they will are checked, and those who deliberately avoid verification are immediately noticed...

Of course, a professional 007 or something like that can still avoid the outer circle and sneak into the inner circle, but once he gets close to the inner circle, he will attract Xu Chu's attention. In addition, Fei Qian himself is also cautious enough. If ordinary people want to assassinate Fei Qian, they may not really be able to find any opportunity to do so.

 So, this is why spies are "okay"?

 Does it mean that if you can assassinate Fei Qian, then kill him, and if you can't, then kill others? Want to kill that bystander?

　　　『You want to kill the boy Grogar? Fei Qian asked.

The man shook his head silently.

Fei Qian looked at it and suddenly felt that this assassin was very interesting. Then he thought about it and understood, "You want to assassinate the great monk Busen?" 』

The man was still silent, but nodded.

Fei Qian suddenly smiled and said, "What should I call you?" Monk or bhikkhu? 』

Xu Chu looked at the man's head and gave the guards a look.

The guard understood and stepped forward, pulled on the man's head. Sure enough, he pulled off the wig with the turban on, revealing a bare head.

The man didn’t stop him, he just whispered the name of Buddha.

"Interesting," Fei Qian raised his voice, "go and invite the great monk Busen." 』

Fei Qian originally thought it might be a few days later before he would encounter this problem, but he didn’t expect...

But this is fine.

Fei Qian smiled and said to the assassin, "Don't you want to assassinate Busen?" I'll give you a chance now..."

Fei Qian really wanted to know how Bu Sen felt when he knew that in the Western Region, his original followers were now standing opposite him, just like the old Qianqi Commander standing opposite Tong Grojia.
