In February 330, with the support of his courtiers, Shi Le changed his name to "Great Zhao Tianwang", realizing his magnificent transformation from slave to king.
Everyone knows that Shi Le is a northern Qi people, collectively known as "Hu people" in ancient times, and his status in the society at that time was low, although the Shi Le family was the leader of the Qi tribe, he could hardly read a single character.
Shi Le was also a man with serious racist tendencies, which of course stemmed from his origins. Shi Le is one of the "Hu people", and he is the lowest-ranking person among the "Hu people", and he has suffered discrimination since he was a child. Therefore, when he becomes the king of a country, of course, he must improve the status of his nation. Therefore, he ordered the whole country to call the People of the Country, meaning the master of the country, the highest status in the country, followed by the "Liuyi", that is, the Eastern Yi, the Southwest Yi, the Western Qiang, the Western Regions, the Southern Xiongnu, the Wuhuan Xianbei and other ethnic groups, and the last in line is naturally the Jin people, that is, the Han people. This policy changed the situation during the "Former Zhao" period, when Hu and Han were divided.
In order to improve the status of "Hu people", Shi Le ordered that the word "Hu" be banned, and everything with the word "Hu" was renamed, such as Changing Hu Cake to "Ma Cake", Hu Bean to "Broad Bean", and Courgette to "Cucumber"...
However, Shi Le was also a person who loved the Han culture of the Central Plains very much, and most of his advisers were Han, and his most trusted chief strategists Zhang Bin, Guanglu Dafu ChengXiao, Zhongshu Ling Xu Guang, Fan Tan who joined the army, and Bo Chenglang, the lord, were all Han.
Shi Le was illiterate, but he liked to listen to the literary and historical stories of the Han people in the Central Plains, and often asked Confucians to read history to him. According to the Seventh Book of The New Language of the World, shi le "made people read the Book of Han" on one occasion. After hearing his advice to establish the Six Kingdoms, he was given the seal and exclaimed, "This law should be lost, and the cloud will have the world!" The Prophet of the Prophet was, 'On this ear!' ’”
Due to the implementation of Shi Le's policy of "suppressing Han and Promoting Hu", the phenomenon of Hu people bullying and oppressing Han people in China is quite serious. Shi Le, who often makes people read literature and history, also knows that there is a bumpy truth, that is, "where there is oppression, there is resistance", so when he saw that the Hu people always bullied the Han people like this, once they rebelled, it affected the excellent situation of stability and unity. Therefore, in response to this chaos, Shi Le ordered the people of the whole country to "not insult the Chinese in disguise."
This is shi le's instruction to protect the Han people who serve him around him, and it can be seen from the four words "Yiguan Hua" that Shi Le also has the intention of dividing the Han people.
Although Shi Le had the heart to curb the bullying of the Han nobles by the Qiang people, in fact, there was no guarantee that these "noble Han people" would not be bullied, and the encounter of Fan Tan who joined the army was not an isolated case.
Once, fan tan thanked Shi Le for his promotion and reuse, and entered the palace to thank the king of Shi Da, but on the way, he was robbed by the Qi people, and the assets were robbed. Therefore, Fan Tan entered the palace wearing patched and torn clothes, and Shi Le couldn't help but ask when he saw this, Fan joined the army, I didn't think you were poor to this extent?
Fan Tan was a straight-talking person, and blurted out: Just on the road, he encountered a robbery by a karmic thief and robbed all his clothes. But as soon as the words came out, he found that he had committed the crime of killing the head, how could he say "karma" thief, saying a "Hu" word was a felony of killing the head, so he prostrated his head and asked for guilt, fortunately, Shi Le was in a good mood that day, did not pursue, and was embarrassed to say, The karma thief is cruel, let me compensate you. So I gave him 3 million yuan and asked him to buy cars and horses.
You think, even a court official must be oppressed by the "Hu people", not to mention the ordinary people who are not "dressed in Chinese".
Shi Le relied on the help of the Han people to establish a country, and he was still grateful to the Han people and adopted a certain degree of protection and tolerance, but the subsequent successors did not have this gratitude to the Han people, and the oppression of the Han people in the north can be imagined.
Again, as the old saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Due to Shi Le's extreme connivance with the racial policy of the Qiang people, it finally promoted the emergence of Ran Min's "killing Hu Order", which eventually led to the fate of the Qi people being almost exterminated.
