I have to say that Duran is the most elusive person Xiao Feng has seen in his thirty years of life, although he has known each other for a short time, everything Duran has done can make Xiao Feng feel an indescribable courage.

Although Xiao Feng's father was sent to hard labor by Duran, Xiao Feng had clear grievances, his father stole Ye Erniang's son in order to take revenge, which led to Ye Erniang killing so many people later, which was deserved. Xiao Feng knew about Ye Erniang's evil deeds before, but he knew that the source of everything was his own father. A drink and a peck, the world is unpredictable.

Now that Du Lan actually allowed himself to usurp the throne, to be honest, Xiao Feng never thought that he was just a beggar gang leader and the king of the Southern Courtyard, how could he be an emperor?

"If you want to do it, I can make you do it. Duran looked at Xiao Feng, "Don't think about whether you can do it, but think about whether you can do something for the people, don't underestimate your own ideals." ”

Xiao Feng was still speechless, because this kind of thing was really too important, and he only hoped that Azhu would be resurrected now, and he would be able to listen to Azhu's opinion. He didn't think to ask Ah Zi, according to his sister-in-law's personality, he must be afraid that the world will not be chaotic and instigate his brother-in-law to be the emperor.

"Think about it again, don't rush to reply to me. Duran said, "Now I'll help your sister-in-law treat her eyes first." ”

"Can it be cured?" Xiao Feng was surprised, the two eyeballs of her sister-in-law who she had examined were now the same as raisins, how could there be any possibility of treatment.

Naturally, it can be cured, you must know that there is an eyeball transplant technology in the Tianshan Mountains, although it is very unscientific, but in the original book, it is indeed transplanted You Tanzhi's eyeballs to restore Ah Zi's sight.

"Of course it can be cured. Duran said that if you don't know that you know that you know the magic, you don't know the power of the traverser.

When the time to witness the miracle came, Duran just stroked her hands in front of Ah Zi's eyes, and her eyes were already healed, which was simply amazing.

"You're not a monk. The first thing Ah Zi said when he saw the light again was to question that Duran was not a monk, and how could he extradite Rulai if he was not a monk?

Du Lan didn't say much, Ah Zi's character had been taught bad by Ding Chunqiu, although he would pretend to be kind in front of Xiao Feng, but he was very unkind to outsiders.

Xiao Feng couldn't sleep this night, and finally fell asleep and got Azhu's dream, Azhu asked Xiao Feng to think about the world, she said that Xiao Feng must be better than any emperor in the world, so she supported Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng thought of Azhu's goodness, shed tears in his dream, and when he woke up, the quilt was wet, and he was determined to compete for the throne.

When Duran saw Xiao Feng coming to him, he knew that what he had done to let Azhu dream yesterday was right, and sure enough, the only person who could convince Xiao Feng was Azhu. Although it seems that Xiao Feng is aware of righteousness, in fact, he is also a person trapped by righteousness, and he will not change his temper and be stubborn, this kind of person is actually the most difficult to convince.

Fortunately, Duran knew Xiao Feng's weakness, and his moral views would not accept any changes from people, the only exception was Ah Zhu.

"Is it decided?" asked Duran.

Xiao Feng nodded: "It's decided, I just hope you won't lie to me." "This kind of thing is going to kill the head, and once you decide to implement it, there is no turning back.

Duran devised two plans, Plan A is to rebel, defeat the Liao army from the bottom up and ascend to the throne and become emperor, with a difficulty of three stars. Plan B is from top to bottom, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, grasp the hegemony of the Liao State when the time is ripe, let the emperor abdicate, and ascend the throne himself, with two stars of difficulty.

"The choice is yours. ”

According to Xiao Feng's style, Plan A is naturally the most in line with his character, and he gains power in a down-to-earth manner and does not take shortcuts. But now he has to think not about himself, but about the world, and the angle is completely different, obviously Plan B has the least impact on Liao and abroad, and the least casualties.

"I'm going to go with Plan B. Xiao Feng said.

Duran said he understood: "Then get ready, the emperor of Liao will be sick in a few days, and he will make you regent at that time, and then you will control Liao step by step, waiting for the opportunity." ”

Seeing Du Lan's relaxed appearance, Xiao Feng had to wonder if Du Lan was really an immortal.

"Don't be surprised, making history is as simple as that, and for people like us, a slight decision can trigger a series of violent reactions that you will get used to over time. "Now you can go back first, but even if you become the regent, there must be a lot of opposition within the Liao Kingdom, and you will have to deal with them yourself when the time comes." ”

Xiao Feng nodded, in fact, he knew that his decision was very selfish, and he was sorry for the Liao Emperor who reused him, but in order to let Song Liao end the war, he had to do it.

At this time, Xiao Feng's mentality also changed, since the emperor of Liao could not end the dispute on the Song-Liao border, then he could only come by himself.

When Xiao Feng returned to Liao, he really got the holy decree and appointed him as the regent. Xiao Feng was even more amazed by Du Lan's ability, of course, the nobles and bureaucrats of the Liao State were very unconvinced, just a king of the Southern Courtyard, what qualifications did the commander of the puppet army have to be the regent?

But Xiao Feng is coming back strongly, and this time he has made up his mind, so it is also difficult to stop.

Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, Xiao Feng controlled the court through strong means, and then began to realize his political ambitions as a regent, first of all, to let the Han and Khitan people in the Liao State coexist peacefully, reuse Han officials, and carry out the education and transformation of the advanced civilization of the Liao State.

The culture of the Central Plains is very strong, and as long as the surrounding barbarian culture comes into contact with it, it will either be destroyed or accept assimilation, and there is no third choice.

Liao has actually been sinicized, but Xiao Feng has accelerated the process of sinicization after he has the power.

In fact, the surrounding Xixia and Dali have a high degree of sinicization, but Tubo has a low degree of sinicization because of the small number of people, and maintains a very primitive style, believing in Tantric Buddhism.

Seeing Xiao Feng's sinicization team working day and night, Duran said that he had a future. In fact, the strongest thing in the Central Plains culture is etiquette, and to put it bluntly, it is a sense of ritual.

In fact, it is really meaningless to say that it is meaningless to the world, even if all human beings are destroyed, the world will still develop. Human behavior is only responsible for human beings, and under this premise, the people of the Zhou Dynasty developed a sense of ritual Zhou etiquette, which strengthened the sense of human existence, which can be said to be of cross-era significance for human beings.

Rituals can be seen as anchor points left by human beings in the vast sea, with which human beings have a purpose in life, which is of great significance to human beings.

The sense of ritual in the Central Plains is unique in this era, and it will naturally make people yearn for and rely on. When the barbarians who only dance the great gods under the command of the shaman see one set of tedious and orderly rituals in the Central Plains, they must be ashamed of themselves, and they have to learn why the rituals of the Central Plains people are so high?

People can only live meaningfully within the framework set by human beings themselves, and the more ornate and perfect this framework is, the more attractive it is.

Of course, Xiao Feng still has a long way to go, because the Liao State also has many enemies, such as the Western Xia and the Jurchens.

Now in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be said that the situation is turbulent, the peasant uprisings within the Northern Song Dynasty have been one after another, and the surrounding countries are either actively preparing for war or busy with civil strife.
