Chapter 516: Unification of the North and the South

Wei Youqing only found out at this time that his body was tense, and he couldn't help but smile, and when he saw Shi Wen'er making fun of himself, he simply played tricks: "Of course Youqing is scared!" Daddy has to be with the young forever! ”

Shi Wen'er felt a little hot in her heart, if Wei Youqing was a half-grown child, I am afraid that these words would cause Shi Wen'er a lesson, but Wei Youqing in front of her is a man whose strength is not weaker than herself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Okay, as long as you don't hate Daddy, Daddy will always be with you."

Of course, both father and son understand that the so-called eternal companionship only refers to spiritual companionship. As soon as Wei Jingyu's funeral was over, Wei Youqing was concerned about the spinning yard in Chudi and returned to the Chengcheng Temple with Guanlan.

Everything was as usual in the temple, and every time Wei Youqing came back, he felt that time here was still. The only thing that has changed is that the saint who lives in it has gradually changed from a young girl to a mature woman.

The flower that appeared in front of Wei Youqing was still wearing a white robe, and her face without fat powder had a different kind of beautiful beauty. As soon as she saw Guanlan led by Wei Youqing, she sighed faintly.

"Is she really dead?"

"That's what Daddy said, and I think that's the same." Wei Youqing looked at the flowers who squatted down to look at Guanlan, and said softly, "It's all my fault." ”

Hua Xijian didn't answer him, she took out a handkerchief to help Guanlan wipe the dust off her face, and praised faintly: "He is really well-behaved and beautiful." Some like my brother when he was a kid. ”

Wei Youqing first listened to Hua Xijian praise Guanlan, and was about to put her mind at ease, but when she heard her change the topic and mention her younger brother, her heart sank again.

Wei Youqing wanted to say that his little brother was the hero of Pearl Island, but he didn't know how to say such words. Those who can choose are the real heroes, and these people who have become "heroes" in a daze are just poor war victims.

Wei Youqing helped Hua Xijian up, saw that she was a little weak, and helped her walk back to the room.

"It's a pity, you look a little weak, don't always stay in the temple, go out for a walk."

Hua Xijian did not speak. The maid poured tea, and Hua Xijian instructed the maid to bring some snacks for Guanlan to eat.

"If you like Guanlan, I'm relieved." Wei Youqing said, "He has no mother, so I will ask you to bother to raise him more in the future." ”

Wei Youqing paused and said, "You are his mother-in-law." ”

Hua Xijian slowly said at this time: "Youqing, you know, we Nanren can't recognize your statement. ”

Wei Youqing was about to open his mouth to refute disapprovingly, but Hua Xi stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "I don't want to be his mother-in-law, it's not that I won't be good to him." ”

"I'm not worried that you will treat Guanlan badly, but according to the rules of the Han people......"

"Youqing, aren't we carp people? Aren't you the Great Chief of the Carp People? Why do you say that Han Chinese rules? ”

Wei Youqing was a little dumbfounded by what Hua Xijian said, and he said curtly: "But I am indeed a Han." ”

"I know." Hua Xijian said, "I also know that the people of the south actually respect you very much. ”

Wei Youqing smiled: "They respect you the most." ”

Hua Xijian didn't smile, she said with a straight face: "Youqing, they respect me because I am a saint, and they respect you, but because you let them know that life can be so comfortable." ”

Wei Youqing restrained his smile, Hua Xijian used to be in his eyes, as Shi Wen'er said, a simple and lovely beautiful native girl.

Right now, Wei Youqing felt that the girl in front of her had a holy brilliance. "Noble and beautiful saintess", Wei Youqing remembered Hua Shengze's evaluation, and smiled in his heart.

I only heard Hua Xijian continue: "But they have always been wary of you. You know why? ”

What Hua Xijian said was talking about Wei Youqing's thoughts, which was the question that had always puzzled Wei Youqing: "Why?" ”

"Because they don't want to follow the Han rites. They are willing to maintain the status quo, but they also want to reconcile with the northerners as you said, and live a life where the children are fed, clothed, and literate. ”

Hua Xijian's eyes were shining: "Youqing, we southerners, want to live in our own way." I don't want to be Guanlan's mother-in-law, but I will be good to Guanlan. ”

"Although we fishmen are poor, we are free."

Nuhan's words resounded in Wei Youqing's mind.

"Youqing, you don't know about fishmen at all."

"I see, sorry...... Saint! ”

Wei Youqing felt that it was the first time that she had known Hua Xijian so happily and convincingly called out the title of "Holy Maiden".

This is a group of guardians of the gods. Who says they are lagging behind? They never surrendered to anyone because of power, they only admired true heroes, and only feared God.

Hua Xijian pursed her lips and said angrily: "You still call me Xijian, I like this name." ”

"I also really want to call you 'Holy Maiden'," Wei Youqing smiled, "You are a descendant of God, do you know?" ”

"I know! My mother told me a long time ago. ”

Hua Xijian's expression is so natural, and it is so indifferent and calm. This made Wei Youqing even more embarrassed.

"When I came in, did I forget to pay homage to the Holy Maiden? There is also a second-floor altar, which has not been used for a long time. ”

Hua Xijian stretched out his hand and stroked Wei Youqing's forehead, and seeing that Wei Youqing did not have a fever, he put his heart at ease and pouted: "You, a priest, when did you really worship God?" You're a big liar. ”

Wei Youqing smiled and said sincerely: "Not in the future." ”

On the second day, Wei Youqing convened a meeting of the leaders of the seventy-two tribes at the Chengsheng Temple, and issued his first order after he became the chief of the carp people:

Fill in the trenches in the north and south, and unify the north and the south from then on.

Both the north and the south, whether they are southerners or northerners, are collectively referred to as carp people. Free trade, free intermarriage. Regardless of marriage customs or funerals, everything is up to you.

In order to allow the carp people to get out of Pearl Island smoothly in the future, Wei Youqing summoned those who were familiar with the law among the northerners, and compiled the Pearl Island law in accordance with Li Xuan's law and issued it to the whole island.

He also conducted a census on the whole island, registered his household registration, and reported to Li Chengyu. The purpose of this measure is, first, Wei Youqing's new chief of the Lida people, as a new ethnic group united with the Han and Turen, to report the household register to show allegiance to Li Chengyu.

Another more important purpose is to allow the outstanding children of the carp people to participate in the imperial examination in Chudi, and then participate in the national imperial examination, and finally achieve the goal of being an official, so that the power of the carp people can infiltrate the high-level.

Li Chengyu was naturally happy when he received the household registration book of Pearl Island, and he gladly accepted these people as the people of Chudi, but he still kept his promise before the war and did not collect money and grain from Pearl Island.

Wei Youqing understood Li Chengyu's heart, and made a commando with the surname Nu and the local people surnamed Jie, which made great contributions to Li Chengyu's rapid takedown of Chu.

But he, the elder brother of King Chen, is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person in his bones. All kinds of preferential treatment given to Pearl Island are to soothe his uneasy conscience.
