Empress Dowager Xiao has no way to be forced by the actual situation of Liao, and now Liaoguo is a weak lord facing a fierce general. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTake Han Jiangxue as an example, if Empress Dowager Xiao dies, with her prestige in the Liao army and the strength of the army she controls, it is much higher than that of the little emperor Xiao Xuan, so as long as Han Jiangxue is willing, she will launch a mutiny anytime and anywhere.

In terms of the little emperor's ability, he is not Han Jiangxue's opponent. Of course, now Han Jiangxue is looking at the face of the Empress Dowager Xiao and handing over the military power peacefully, which makes the Empress Dowager Xiao breathe a sigh of relief, and she feels that a boulder hanging in her heart has finally fallen.

However, the little emperor is facing a threat not only from Han Jiangxue, but also from Prime Minister Mo Ye, Marshal of the Northern Courtyard Lin Jun, Liang Wangye and other powerful ministers.

Even Empress Dowager Xiao was worried that after her death, the little emperor would find it difficult to drive away even Mei Shuang, who was originally her cronies. Because of the four big maids now, their wings are hard, and they can stand alone, like Meishuang is the second marshal in the army and the local princes.

In order to let her son sit firmly in the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao decided to re-cultivate a group of talents belonging to her cronies, and slowly replace the original powerful ministers with deep roots with this group of people.

It stands to reason that his son has finally ascended the throne, this is a great achievement, and Empress Dowager Xiao can enjoy the glory of the mother's ceremony; But the current Empress Dowager Xiao is still walking on thin ice, cautious with every step. Even now that Empress Dowager Xiao feels that her son has ascended to the throne of the emperor, the cruel power struggle has just begun. It is no less difficult to secure the throne of the emperor than it was to compete for the throne in the first place.

In order to retrain another group of her cronies, this time Empress Dowager Xiao decided to select a few outstanding talents from the slaves and cultivate them into talents who are completely loyal to herself.

Why didn't Empress Dowager Xiao cultivate cronies from the Liao people! The reason is very simple, if you choose from the Liao people, you may fall into the tail of the big trouble.

After all, the relationship between the Liao people is also complicated, once a person gains power, his clansmen will also ascend to heaven, so that his power will quickly expand. At that time, the family forces of these people will unite against the imperial power of the imperial court. And Empress Dowager Xiao chose slaves as cronies to cultivate, so she did not have such worries. Because most of the slaves were the original Chu people, or untouchables of other tribes; Their identities are relatively simple, they are generally orphans, and there is no one at home, so they have no family power to rely on.

Such a person, even if he or she gives him the most power, he or she will not dare to rebel against himself, because once he or she leaves himself to support him, he is alone, and he is nothing. Therefore, cultivating such a person is not afraid that he or she will dare to rebel against himself.

Empress Dowager Xiao took Yun'er to the bazaar where female slaves were sold, generally speaking, there are several kinds of slave trafficking, one is that there are no packaged female slaves; In fact, they were sold directly after being caught, or they sold their children because of the force of life. Most of the people who sold such slaves were not businessmen, so this kind of female slave was relatively simple in thought and the price was not expensive.

The other is the packaged female slaves, some large female slave merchants, in order to let the female slaves sell at a good price, often buy the female slaves at a low price, after a few months of training, especially excellent female slaves may go through a few years of training, so that their artistic performance and behavior temperament are greatly improved, so that they can be sold at a better price. It's like an old mother training a newly bought prostitute in a brothel.

Empress Dowager Xiao decided to choose an unpackaged female slave, because this kind of female slave is simple-minded, you can see through what she thinks at a glance, and as long as you are really good to her, they will work for you.

As for the packaging of female slaves, these trained female slaves, similar to immersed in a big dye vat, their personalities will become hypocritical, and they are good at disguising their own ideas, even if they are the best for this kind of person, you don't feel at ease to hand over power to her, who knows what she thinks in her heart is the time, if she betrays you at a critical moment, then you will lose everything.

Of course, if it's just an ordinary maid, it's understandable to choose those who have packaged female slaves, after all, they have trained female slaves, they are all good-looking, and they understand etiquette, so that people don't hate it at first glance, and this kind of female slaves can be used directly as soon as they enter the house, saving a lot of trouble for training.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao is ostensibly selecting female slaves, among which she is selecting talents who are loyal to her cronies, and Empress Dowager Xiao is ready to train these people to become talents, and to hand over power to them, so that they can contribute to consolidating the power of their mother and son.

In the female slave bazaar in Liaodu, there are generally unpackaged female slaves who are sold in the open air outside, and these female slaves are often disheveled, unkempt, yellow and thin, and some are even hungry, so these female slaves are generally very cheap.

The other type is the packaging of female slaves, these female slaves are generally sold in the store, these shops have different decoration styles, some decoration style is elegant, some is magnificent.

The female slaves sold in the elegant decoration shop are generally dressed elegantly, dressed lightly, and look pitiful; Richly decorated shop girls are generally dressed in luxurious clothes, dressed up beautifully and fragrantly, and have beautiful eyes and affection. Anyway, the packaged female slaves are all clear-eyed, neatly dressed, and polite in their speech, and some are even able to convey their eyebrows, which makes people like it at first sight.

The traffic outside the slave market is convenient, and the customers are busy in the prime location, and the sellers are all those who have packaged the slaves, and the shops selling the slaves are lined up.

For Yun'er, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, when he passed by the door of these shops and saw that there were beautiful girls standing or kneeling about the same age as himself, he looked at it a few more times when he was curious.

Maybe Empress Dowager Xiao is dressed as a noble lady, and Yun'er is a young master, and the shopkeepers who sell female slaves think that Empress Dowager Xiao is choosing a female slave for Yun'er, so they all laugh and say: "Madam, come in and have a look!" There are many very good goods in it, and I guarantee that the lady and young master are satisfied."

There are thousands of maids in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and these maids are far more knowledgeable and dexterous than these female slaves, so the Empress Dowager Xiao will not be moved by these female slaves at all.

Yun'er He has seen only a handful of beautiful girls in the past, and now he is surprised to see so many beautiful girls in the store, but also with a liking, after all, Yun'er is a teenager, it is normal for him to like beautiful girls who are about the same age as himself, so he has these thoughts in his heart, that is, if these girls play with him, read together, and practice martial arts together, how lively and interesting it is, and he will not be as lonely as he is now, lonely and alone, and he has no play partners.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao did not mean to stop, Yun'er could only follow Empress Dowager Xiao forward, of course, there were not one or two shops selling female slaves, but dozens of them. Originally, Yun'er was a little reluctant to see the girls in the store, but when he saw that there were still so many beautiful girls in the store, his eyes were numb, and he was not surprised.

The outside of the female slave market is sold and packaged female slaves, and the inside is sold by unpackaged female slaves, and these female slaves are standing on the side of the road in twos and threes, or kneeling on the side of the road to sell. (To be continued.) )
