Kaifeng, Tokyo, backed by a canal, stands in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Today, Tokyo has become a first-class castle in the world.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Guanzhong has gradually lost its position as the center of gravity of the national economy due to the over-exploitation of land, the rapid increase in population, and the economic recession. Especially after the Anshi Rebellion, it was repeatedly invaded by wars, and the economy of Guanzhong was more restricted, and Chang'an's several losses made it slowly lose its political status.

The continuous sinking of Guanzhong is accompanied by the fact that the economic center of gravity does not move eastward and southward, and the political center of gravity continues to move eastward. Bianjing, with its convenient transportation and rich economy, has become the beneficiary of this process.

Chang'an was dilapidated, Luoyang declined, and Biandu rose.

Since Zhu Wen usurped Tang Jianliang and set the capital Bianjing, the status of this city has risen day by day. Even if there was a move by the Tang Dynasty to Luoyang more than ten years later, after Shi Jingjiao became the Jin Dynasty, he failed to last two years, and moved the capital to a more prosperous Daliang again.

Prosperity is the biggest feature of Kaifeng. However, no matter how gorgeous the prosperity is, it can't withstand the devastation of war. Even if the Khitans did not carry out large-scale murder and arson after entering the Bian, the ferocious looting and endless oppression still added a bit of sadness to this pearl of the Central Plains.

The breeze of mid-spring gently blew through the thick city wall of Kaifeng, but it never blew away the desolation condensed above the city wall. Everywhere in the city, the guards and patrols are the Khitans, and on the edge of the female wall, the high erection is also a brand new "Liao" flag.

At this time, Tokyo was subjugated to the rule of the Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang, and the rule of the new "Great Liao State" over the native Chinese people was crumbling in the turmoil of chaotic government from the time it was established. In the past few days, with the continuous bad news, the Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang, who has been enjoying himself in the Biangong Palace, has complained more than once: the people of China are too difficult to rule......

Kaifeng is divided into three cities, inner and outer cities, and in the rows of squares, many of the mansions that originally belonged to the high-ranking officials and ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty were occupied by the Khitan generals.

In the southeast of Miyagi, close to the main entrance, there are all high-ranking households, and one of the mansions is especially expensive. This was originally the mansion of Jing Yanguang, an auxiliary minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, and after Jing Yanguang's tragic death, he was rewarded to Zhao Yanshou, who was left behind in Zhongjing, the prime minister, the privy envoy, and the king of Yan in the current Great Liao Kingdom.

At this time, in the Yanwang Mansion, compared with the cold streets and alleys in Kaifeng City, it is a statue of singing and dancing. In the back hall, there is Jiao'e dancing, fluttering posture, sultry heartstrings, Yan Wang Zhao Yanshou reclining on the table, his eyes are sad, and his pale face is full of drunkenness.

The Great Liao was established, and in the city of Tokyo, people were silent, but as the Han minister who was most "valued" by Emperor Yelu Deguang of Liao, His Royal Highness King Yan did not seem to be in a good mood. In fact, since Yelu Deguang became the emperor and wanted to rule the Central Plains, Zhao Yanshou has been unhappy.

Zhao Yanshou, a native of Zhenzhou, has a young beauty, a good book history, and is a good scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Like Shi Jingjiao, he is the son-in-law of Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong, an imperial nobleman, and he was also a powerful man in the later Tang Dynasty. His adoptive father Zhao Dejun was also deeply valued by Li Siyuan, and he was the envoy of the Lulong Festival at that time, and a town in Youzhou was more than ten years. To a certain extent, the qualifications and strength of Zhao Dejun and his son at that time were not weaker than Shi Jingjiao in Hedong.

After Shi Jingjiao and the Later Tang Dynasty court tore their faces and met with swords, Zhao Dejun was also ordered to send troops to attack Hedong. Zhao Dejun, who held Lu Long's army, thought carefully and began to talk to the Later Tang Dynasty court about the conditions, intending to annex Fan Yanguang's army stationed in Liaozhou, expand his strength, and seek Zhenzhou Jiedu for Zhao Yanshou.

However, Li Congke, the late emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had a strong personality and was uncompromising, categorically refused, and issued a tough edict to urge the army. Seeing that the court was evil, Zhao Dejun was not happy, and instead wanted to take refuge in the Khitans.

At that time, Yelu Deguang was invited by Shi Jingjiao to "cut the land and become a minister", and had already led his troops south to Jinyang to help in the war. Probably under the instruction of Shi Jingjiao, Zhao Dejun sent someone to make Yelu Deguang, and also asked to be established as the emperor.

At that time, there were still some ghosts between Shi Jingjiao and Yelu Deguang, and then the Tang Dynasty was actually still strong, and he was very tempted by Zhao Dejun's invitation to Yelu Deguang, and had the intention of abandoning Shi Jingjiao. It was also Shi Jingjiao's confidant Sang Weihan who went to the Khitan camp and staged a scene of "crying in front of the tent", and analyzed the hearts of the Khitan lords, so that Yelu Deguang did not change his ways.

When Shi Jingjiao seized the world, Zhao Dejun, the father and son, was in an embarrassing situation and was locked back in the Khitan country. Zhao Dejun died of desolation, but Zhao Yanshou was reused.

Zhao Yanshou is a person with a certain talent, beautiful appearance, and poetry. He was appointed by Yelu Deguang as the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, the master of southern affairs, and the king of Yan.

In the last year, the Khitan army was particularly hard working in the process of moving south, because Yelu Deguang had expressed more than once that he wanted to rule China with Han Chinese, and the implication was already obvious.

After the Khitan army entered Bian, and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yanshou became more active, and gave Yelu Deguang a lot of "constructive" suggestions for ruling the Central Plains, such as dividing and controlling the Jin State and reducing the pawns, paying the Hu pawns and stopping the plunder, and appeasing the Jiezhen...... It's a pity that Jerod didn't listen much.

Even so, in the remaining months of Yelude's light, Zhao Yanshou was still "conscientious", just because of the fiery expectation in his heart.

Emperor, Shi Jingjiao did it, why can't he Zhao Yanshou do it.

However, it was probably too easy to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and Yelu Deguang also floated, and finally changed his mind and ascended the throne as the emperor himself, to be the lord of China. Once the long-cherished wish was shattered, Zhao Yanshou's mentality collapsed directly. The mind began to be unconscious, so Li Songyan, the prime minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, said to Yelu Deguang that he wanted to seek the position of prince.

This is a lack of eyesight, Yelu Deguang smiled at this, and refused very kindly. However, in order to appease Zhao Yanshou, he was given a series of resounding titles, but the real power was completely emptied, and by the way, even the Jin army soldiers who were originally under his command were also deprived......

Today's Zhao Yanshou, in terms of position qualifications, can be called the first Hanchen of the Great Liao Kingdom. However, in fact, it has been completely reduced to a mascot and is put on display for people to see.

How could Zhao Yanshou not see these clearly. Twenty days have passed, and the resentment in his heart has not weakened with the passage of time, but has become more and more depressed, and even the wine beauty can hardly relieve him.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", the wine glass shattered, and the dance and music in the hall came to an abrupt end. Zhao Yanshou's drunkenness suddenly woke up, and he glared fiercely: "Go on!" ”

The sound of the orchestra continued to sound, the beautiful girl continued to dance, and Zhao Yanshou took a new cup and handed it to the waiter: "Give it to the lonely man!" ”

"Yes!" Facing the moody Zhao Yanshou, the waiter was very afraid.

After drinking a sip of yellow soup, the drunkenness on Zhao Yanshou's face deepened again, and it became even more depressed.

"King!" A figure hurriedly entered the hall, it should be an old servant, until Zhao Yanshou was in front of him.

"What?" Zhao Yanshou's attention was still on the dancing girl in the hall, as if he was going to choose a waiter to sleep tonight.

"Someone from the palace, His Majesty the Emperor has summoned you to meet you!"

"Emperor? Hehe, don't go! Zhao Yanshou snorted coldly.

Seeing this, the old servant showed a trace of anxiety on his face, and he was about to open his mouth to persuade, but he heard that Zhao Yanshou had a sad face, and said quietly: "Purify your body with loneliness, prepare for the court......"
