Chapter 2: The Dream of Northern Unification

Yelu Holu once advised Yelu Abaoji that if he wanted to achieve great things, he had to rely on the great shaman. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because the Khitan people believe in shamanic culture.

Since then, Shen Sugu has entered the life of Yelu Abaoji and has become a great shaman with supreme status.

At this moment, the Great Shaman raised his head in a divinely holy manner.

"This colorful auspicious clouds, swirling around the roof of the palace, refused to disperse for a long time, the more they gathered, the stronger they became, this is the emperor's breath"!

Everyone also raised their heads at the sound of Shen Sugu's words. I saw that the blue sky above the main hall was clear, and the white clouds were shining, shining brightly.

The arch-governor, Jerod, cleared his throat in a dignified manner:

The founding emperor of the Great Khitan is virtuous and good in government, and the state is its prosperity. Pacify the various departments, open up the territory, and realize the great cause of the unification of the north.

Far, there is Yu Dashun, near, there is the Tang Dynasty Emperor Wenhuang, both than the meritorious service, so the four seas praise. Today, Abaoji went to Khan to claim the title of emperor, founded the country and ascended the throne, imitated the Tang system, built the Yuan God Book, and established the country with the name of 'Great Khitan'.

At this moment, Yelu Holu knelt down on one leg and bowed to the first saint: "Your Majesty founded the country, built the Yuan Divine Book, and the ministers and other honors are called 'Emperor of Heaven'."

At this moment, Yelu Abaoji sat on the dragon chair in the east direction, and his irrepressible thoughts erupted like a volcano, and he remembered the scene when he was a child and Yelu released the horse.

Yelu Abaoji pondered for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

All the officials knelt on the ground and bowed on both knees.

"Minister, I wish His Majesty the Emperor the enthronement and the founding of the country, and long live His Majesty the Emperor! Banzai! Hooray"!

"Excuse me". Yelu Abaoji is kind and kind-eyed. Baiguan stood up and stepped aside.

"Today, the Great Khitan opened the country, and I set up a swallow drink, hoping that you will have fun, get drunk, and not return if you are not drunk."

"If you are drunk, you will not return." The stars hold the moon.

But his face was full of cunning.

Yelu Holu took up the white jade bowl and presented it to Yelu Abaoji.

"Today, His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne and opened the country, and he has finally realized his dream of a great unification of the north. Your Majesty, as the people of the Sun God, raise your glasses and wish His Majesty the Emperor to further develop his ambitions in the hegemony of the Empire."

Jeruhoru shrugged his shoulders and made a dancing gesture.

Yelu Abaoji nodded and smiled, and suddenly remembered something.

"I once had a covenant with Brother Holu, I wonder if Brother Holu still remembers"?

"Yes, of course I do. I had an appointment with His Majesty the Emperor when I was a child, and I still remember it vividly, and I dare not forget it."

"Really? Brother Holu really hasn't forgotten"?

"That's nature".

Yelu Abaoji was very happy to see Yelu Hulu taking his relationship with him so seriously.

In front of Yelu Abaoji's eyes, there was a scene of his childhood and Yelu Hulu leading horses to the shore of Huangshui:

Jelu Abaoji and Jelu led their horses to the shore of the water and stopped, and they were going to wash their horses' manes.

Washing horses is not an easy task. Not only did the horse have to walk barefoot in the sand, but the horse would shake the moisture from its body from time to time, splashing it on people's clothes and hair.

Yelu Abaoji's Mongolian horse is called "Ulugu" and is Yelu Abaoji's favorite. The horse was captured in battle by his father, Jeruzala, and given to Abaoji, who regarded him as his life.

Abaoji brushed the long mane of "Ulugu" while talking to Yeluholu.

"Brother Holu, we are on the grassland, day after day, year after year, is it just to herd horses for the rest of our lives"?

Jeruhoru scratched his head in embarrassment. "This, this, Abaoji, I never thought about it."

"Brother Holu, please tell me, do you have ideals? What is your ideal"?

Jeruhorus patted his horse and pondered for a moment.

"Ideal? Well, Abaoji, I like horseback riding, archery, and horn fighting, and that's probably my ideal. I don't really have any extravagant hopes for anything else."

Jeruhoru looked a little shy, like a girl, and shook his head gently.

"Brother Haolu, you like the three arts of heroes, that's right. The men of our grassland all like the three arts of heroes. However, in addition to being a good man, I have a bigger ideal."

Jerohorus was surprised: "What"?

Yelu Abaoji was silent in thought.

"Abaoji, don't be struggling, you're really in a hurry"!

"In addition to horseback riding, archery, and horn fighting, I, I also want to complete the great cause of the unification of the north."

"What do you say"?

"I'm going to build a steppe empire".

"Abaoji, you say it again, I didn't understand."

"I want to build a country that truly belongs to me - our steppe empire".

Yelu Haolu really understood this time, and he suddenly excitedly knelt down on one leg to bow to Yelu Abaoji.

"Minister, Jeruhoru see the king."

Yelu Abaoji pretended to wave his hand. "No courtesy"!

Jeruhorus was no longer shy: "When the time comes, I will be the king's chief of guard!"

Yelu Abaoji was excited, and excitedly picked up Yelu Holu and spun.

"Abaoji, you, you dare to think"!

Yelu Abaoji grabbed Yelu Hulu's arm.

"Brother Holu, does what you say count?"

"Of course. How can it not count? Abaoji, we swap horses and use this as a token, how"?

Jeruhoru patted his horse, and the horse neighed.

"Okay, let's make a decision."

The two men gave each other's bridles, and each took off his saddle and put it back on the back of the horse he had replaced.

Yelu Abaoji suggested: "Brother Haolu, let's change our robes, so that we can be intimate with each other for a lifetime."

"Good"! Jeruhoru readily agreed.

Yelu Abaoji took off his robe and gave it to Yelu Horu.

Yelu took off his robe and gave it to Yelu Abaoji.

The two put on the robes given to each other.

"Abaoji, no matter where you go in this life, I will be with you for the rest of your life until death"!

"Okay, Brother Holu, we swear."

And Jeruhoru took a willow branch from the ground, broke it with all his might, and held it up with both hands, and knelt on the ground.

"Immortal Heaven is above, I, if the words of Jeruhorus do not count, I will be like this willow."

Yelu Abaoji also found a willow branch from the ground, broke it with force, held up the broken branch with both hands, and knelt on the ground side by side with Yelu Holu.

"Immortal Heaven testifies, if I, Yelu Abaoji, say that what I say cannot be realized, it will be like this willow."

With a willow branch in his hand, he hid behind a tree and peeked.

Yelu Abaoji was a little relieved, and said again: "Please remember your and my agreement."

"Abaoji, don't worry, I will naturally keep in mind the agreement between you and me."

On the side, Yu Yue's son, Yelu Huage, angrily broke the willow branch in his hand and fell to the ground.

"Humph! With my Brother Yelu here, Abaoji, don't get too complacent."
