Xiao Tianzuo knows that Yelu Long continues to know people, but the biggest feature is that it is too insidious for the opponent to see through his mind, these can also see that he Yelu Long continues to be unfathomable, scheming deep enough to represent the Song Dynasty, the emperors of the ages, whether it is the Qin Emperor Han Wu, or the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, none of these ancient emperors is more scheming than him, in the history of the Liao Dynasty are some wise and martial emperors, but there is no lack of wisdom and scheming, which may be why Xiao Tianzuo admires him so much.

At this time, Yelu Longxu also glanced at him jokingly, and then said to Xiao Tianzuo with a smile: "Tianzuo! Why did you say that Zhao Guangyi wanted to throw Lanzhou to our Great Liao Kingdom, and he had to lose it. ”

Xiao Tianzuo didn't understand why the emperor asked like that, because the emperor came with you so much. There must be a reason, and the question seems simple but actually has a lot of meaning.

At this moment, Xiao Tianzuo also smiled and said to Yelu Long: "The emperor doesn't know, please make it clear to the emperor." ”

Yelu Longxu also knew that he didn't dare to hide it from himself, and at this time, Yelu Longxu also smiled and said to Xiao Tianzuo: "Tianzuo, it's better for me to lose it to you for Lanzhou, or to Li Jiqian, I will tell you!" A bone and two dogs compete, once the strong one is obtained, the weak one is not willing, so I conclude that this time he deliberately threw it to us in Shanzhou, which is an important place for grain production in the Great Song Dynasty, so we will fight with Xia Guo sooner or later, Zhao Guangyi's heart is not good at all, he wants to take advantage of the fisherman. In history, Lanzhou is a major grain production area, and it is also a military important place, so for us, our own enemies do not dare to provoke us, such as Li Jiqian is so capable, so why is it not now retreating in Xiazhou. So he hasn't continued to be our enemy now, so it's much easier for us to deal with him Zhao Guangyi, and now we can deal with the problems we are currently encountering with peace of mind, the so-called putting a long line and catching big fish, now we can not worry about the pressure caused by the Khitan to us, and the final victor must belong to our Daliao. ”

At this time, Xiao Tianzuo also recognized, at this moment, Yelu Long continued to see the people of Shanzhou, this group of people whispered and heard that the emperor of Liao connived at his subordinates to rob our property, and some said Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see a few people here, could it be a few people from Liao, I heard that these grass robbers in the north all like to rob, maybe their emperor still likes them to do this, and blame our group of people in the Great Song Dynasty for being unlucky, otherwise it would not be possible to end up like this.

Yelu Long continued to sigh in his heart that he knew that he could be ruthless to anyone, but for the discussion of the people of Limin, the mouth of the people was more important than the mouth of the people, and he could not prevent the legend that during the period of King Zhou Li of the Zhou Dynasty, at that time, during the Western Weekend, King Zhou Li was rampant, making the people miserable, and the people accused King Zhou Li of his atrocities in private.

Shangqing summoned Mu Gong to advise King Li again and again: "The king's harsh taxes are too much, and the people live very hard, and they are all dissatisfied, and they can't bear it anymore!" When King Li heard this, he was very angry, so he found a group of sorcerers from Weiguo and sent them to all parts of the country, so that these sorcerers could use "magic magic" to spy on those who accused him and were dissatisfied with him, and once they found out, they would catch and kill them. For a time, everyone was in danger, and no one dared to talk about the government anymore, and even when they met relatives and friends on the street to greet them, people only dared to look at each other with their eyes, for fear that they would accidentally say the wrong thing and invite death.

When King Zhou Li learned that there was no one among the people to publicly accuse him anymore, he triumphantly said to Zhao Mugong: "Look, rumors are easy to stop! Now no one is speaking ill of me anymore. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Mu Gong was very helpless: "You only temporarily reduced the objections. Do you know that this method of plugging the mouths of ordinary people is more terrible than blocking the river with mud. The river is blocked, and the overflowing water will break the embankment, wash away the houses, and more people will suffer from the flooding. The people's resentment against you is the same as water, and it can only be channeled. Therefore, the people should also be governed to express their opinions freely. ”

Summoned Mu Gong to look at King Zhou Li, and continued: "In ancient times, the Son of Heaven dealt with government affairs, let the ministers and scholars present poems, the officials offered songs (folk songs), the historians offered books (recording the deeds of ancient emperors), the teachers and officials read aphorisms, the officials recited, the Mongolian officials recited, the musicians admonished, the common people indirectly conveyed their opinions on political affairs to the Son of Heaven, the close ministers around the Son of Heaven gave advice to the Son of Heaven, and the ministers of the same sect as the Son of Heaven tried their best to make up for and supervise the mistakes of the Son of Heaven. Officials and historians used music and etiquette to educate the Son of Heaven, and the elderly masters often advised and warned the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven then considered the trade-offs and put them into action. So that the Son of Heaven will not do anything wrong. ”

"The people have a mouth, just like the earth and the mountains, and the people make speeches, and the good and bad of the country's political affairs can be reflected. Policies that the people think are good should be implemented, and policies that the people think are bad should be guarded against. If a good policy is to be implemented, how can it be blocked and the people not allowed to speak? People are worried about certain problems in their hearts, and they will naturally say, and some things they will also say after they have considered and matured, how can you block these? Even if it can block the mouths of the people for the time being, how long can it be blocked? If they are silenced, who will be able to make good suggestions for the country?"

However, it is a pity that King Zhou Li did not listen to Zhao Mugong's wonderful exposition of bitter words, and he still went his own way. In this way, three years passed, and the people finally could no longer endure the tyranny of King Li and rebelled. They captured King Zhou Li and exiled him to Yu (present-day Huo County, Shanxi Province). This uprising is known in history as the "Chinese Rebellion".

——"Chinese Zhou Yushang"

The mouth of the people is more than the story of the river

As the old saying goes: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world." Summoning Mu Gong repeatedly advised King Zhou Li, who was tyrannical and exceeding, King Zhou Li not only did not listen, but intensified his efforts to "defend the mouth of the people", which itself is a kind of "unpopular practice", which will not reduce his mistakes and will not eliminate the anger of the people. King Zhou Li finally ended up in exile. Lamentable! Wretched! But it makes sense. If he had been diligent in government and loved the people, anxious about the people's needs, and thought about the needs of the people, then he could have sat down on the emperor's throne all the time. No matter what time and what kind of situation you are in, you must remember that the relationship between the king and the people is the relationship between the boat and the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Ruling is inseparable from the king of a country, and even more inseparable from the people.

At this time, Yelu Longxu also smiled and said to the people of Lanzhou: "Everyone, you are also here, this time we will become like this because of our Daliao affairs?" It's also because of my faults, because they set up a name in my name, if they don't punish it severely, it's not enough to deter people's hearts, I apologize to you here, if it weren't for me, the result would not be like this, it's all because of me that I will be like this, come and lead people to commit crimes. ”

At this time, Xiao Tianzuo waved his hand, and at this time, a few people were wearing prisoner clothes, and I saw him Xiao Tianzuo reading to the prisoner: "Check, Yeluliang and Ma Hewen Yelu Xiuming Wu Ming, a few people forced the people's daughters, fish and flesh people, the indulgence is beyond measure, and the special punishment is to be executed immediately, is it immediately executed?" ”。

Yelu Longxu also smiled and said to this group of people: "What they are doing today is really too many to write, I can't count them on five fingers, if I don't kill them today, it will be difficult to appease the hearts of the people in the world, if I don't deal with it, I'm afraid that future generations will think that I, Yelu Longxu, is a person who says one thing and does another, originally they just robbed the people's daughters and robbed property, I originally wanted to spare them once when they made great achievements for our Great Liao, but if I spare them today, What will happen to them tomorrow, who will they rely on for your relatives who were unjustly killed this time, so I decided that I had to kill, and a few of you think you did the right thing! Should these things be done? Tell us all when you die. ”

Their group of people were also a little indignant because of this incident, after all, this incident happened so suddenly, originally this group of people thought that the other party would protect each other, but what they didn't expect was that this emperor enforced the criminal law at this time, they knew that this group of people were tied up and couldn't survive. At this time, they were also very happy in their hearts, and they said one after another to kill them, kill them. No one knows what will happen next, but what is just the beginning of a real show?
