In front of the red sandalwood house of Chongxiao Temple, the old monk said, "Over there in the Iron Cow Fang, you keep an eye on it for another day, if there is no change, give up there first." Now the important thing is Wan Yan Jing. Wanyan Yudu is coming back soon, and the situation in Zhongdu is becoming more and more treacherous, you still have to keep an eye on it. Send out all the people under your command, they are all local snakes in the central capital, and they are familiar with all kinds of officials, and you let them pay close attention to Pingzhang political affairs apprentice Shan Li, as well as the privy deputy envoy Yan Zhanwang and others, they are the first to fall to Wan Yan Jing. If there is an abnormality, they should be the first to initiate. ”

The middle-aged man promised, and said, "Master, the stronghold of Xianlufang has been lost, should it be recovered first?" ”

He nodded, "The internal affairs of your blood wolf are naturally up to you, I just wanted to know more information through this way." In addition, you have been in the blood wolf for so many years, you should have a few trustworthy subordinates, so don't go to Chongxiao Temple to report some things yourself, it's too conspicuous here. You go to the Fuzheng Inn in the east of the temple to charter a room, and if there is any news, leave it in the room, and I will send someone to pick it up every day. It's a little safer that way. ”

The middle-aged man still responded, and waved his hand, "Go!" Proceed with caution! ”

The middle-aged man bowed deeply, got up and shot towards the door. It was extremely fast, but it eerily barely made a sound.

Knowing his back, he muttered, "My big disciple, this light body kung fu should not be under me!" ”

On the evening of the second day of October, Wan Yanyu stepped into the middle capital. With him came 10,000 cattle and sheep and more than 1,000 Mongol slaves. The oldest of these Mongols was no more than twenty-five years old, and the youngest was no less than eight years old. Most of them were girls, but there were also a hundred and ten boys.

Although he did not go to the grassland this time, several generals from the border pass of the Wanggu Department led the army to go deep into the grassland, plundered a lot of livestock and population, plus they had a lot of inventory in their hands, Wanyan Yudu bought these people and livestock at a very cheap price and transported them to Zhongdu.

Ten thousand cattle, sheep and horses, as the result of the battle against the Tatars, will be presented to the old emperor. As for those populations, before they were transported to the central capital, they were all selected, whether they were girls or women, at least they were passable-looking, and boys were required to be smart and good-looking. The buyers of these people are all high-ranking officials. Unlike those slaves who were forced to do slavery, these people were all used for entertainment.

Adults, groomed and dressed up, will become the playthings of nobles. Minors are either taught rakuka or dance steps, and are trained to become excellent actors. Of course, there are also some people who have special habits and target some children. Although many people are not used to it, they will not say anything, after all, compared to the noble Dajinren, those Tatars do not seem to even be human.

Speaking of which, in Dajin, the most respected self is the Jurchens, followed by the Han people, after all, the Han people have a longer and more splendid culture. Dajin has developed to this day, and the status of the Han people is not much different from that of the Jurchens. In terms of being officials, although the Han people cannot be the prime minister, the Pingzhang political affairs or the privy envoy and other first-class official positions, they are second only to their left and right ministers, and all the ministries and books can be held by the Han people. Moreover, in this ranks of sub-heavyweight officials, the number of Han Chinese exceeds that of the Jurchens.

Like the Liaodong Zhang clan, the Changli Han clan and other big clans, there are many people who serve in the court, which also makes these big clans have a very great influence in the Dajin Dynasty. After Yan Yudu, he won the support of the Zhang clan in Liaodong. The Zhang officials in the imperial court not only waved their flags and shouted for Wan Yan Yudu, but also provided them with a certain amount of economic support, so that Wan Yan Yu had the financial resources to win over and bribe the officials of the DPRK and China, and increase the weight for himself to seize the throne.

Under the Han people, there are the Western Xia people, the Khitans from the former Liao State, and the people from the Western Regions and Tufan. The Wangu tribe to the north of Daikin is one of the large gathering places for this type of people.

As for the Mongols, their status was even lower, and they could only be slaves and slaves.

The reason why Daikin looked down on the Mongols so much was out of fear. The Mongols have a vast territory, many tribes, and a large population, and once these people are integrated, they will be a force that surpasses the Jurchens. Although the Jurchens did not admit this, the lords of the Dajin Kingdom in the past generations had a natural hostility towards the Mongols, and had to send people to "reduce Ding" from time to time.

Song Zheng said to Wan Yan Yusheng that "heaven and earth give birth to people, what are the advantages and disadvantages", which can only be regarded as a kind of advanced thinking. Wanyan Yusheng and Zhang Shou, such thoughtful and broad-minded political figures, were still surprised by this, and if other Daikin officials heard these words, they immediately dismissed them as fallacies.

To get back to the point, every time Wan Yanyu went out of the fortress, he would bring some beautiful or obedient Mongolian Tatars to officials at all levels in Dajin, and this has become a habit for more than ten years. Those high-ranking officials who benefited and satisfied from it also praised Wanyan Yu as a result. All kinds of rumors are rolling in the tide, which has also caused the reputation of Wanyan Yudunuo.

Due to the word of mouth, Wanyan Yu is in the minds of the vast majority of the people in Zhongdu, and the reputation of the famous general is still excellent. Every time he came back, many people spontaneously watched Yan Yudu enter the city, and by the way, they took a look at the ragged Mongolian slave girls.

This time too.

Originally, Tart Li proposed that Wanyan Yudu and his party only bring a few hundred guards, and they should just return to China in a low-key manner. It's a pity that before Wanyan Yudu left Beijing, many dignitaries and nobles ordered all kinds of female slaves, girls or boys from him, and Wanyan Yudu also counted on these people to cheer for his position, and in addition, he himself also enjoyed the feeling of those people jumping in the mountains and seas when he entered the city, so he wanted to take these with him.

Besides, Wan Yanyu has been bored at the border for more than a month, and he hasn't gone to the grassland at all, and he still counts on these cattle, sheep and people to lie to him.

After hearing that Yan Yu was reasonable, Tart Li didn't insist anymore. However, these cattle, sheep, livestock, and slaves slowed down his journey. Although Tart Li began to prepare as early as when the internal officials arrived at the Wanggu Ministry, it was not until today that he succeeded in getting these "war goods" to the central capital.

Song Zheng stood in the crowd, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Getting back some people and livestock before the competition for the position must contain the idea of wanting to "add points" to yourself, but unfortunately, this thing is like competing for posts. Although ordinary employees, middle-level cadres and superior leaders all participate in the scoring, the proportion is not the same. Although the number of ordinary employees is large, only 20 percent of the rights they can have, 30 percent of the middle-level cadres, and 50 percent of the decision-making power of the leaders at the higher levels, although the number of higher-level leaders is the smallest.

Although there are political considerations for Wanyan Yudu's postponement of his return, after receiving the news of Wanyan Yusheng's assassination, although he was ecstatic, he still did not come back for a long time, and it was really not wise to delay the trip for the sake of these livestock and slaves. In Song Zheng's view, just like those competing for posts, they work hard for 20 or 30 percent of their rights, but they don't consider the most important 50 percent!

Li Yongxi stood in the crowd, and Song Zheng, Ah Da and a few others turned around and slowly pushed her to the front, so that she could look down on Yan Yudu more clearly. As early as two days ago, the news of when Wanyan Yudu would return to Zhongdu spread. Zhang Shou and Wanyan Yusheng themselves got the news very early, and Song Zheng naturally knew about it. And Liang Yiyue, who was in the Laining Pavilion, was not too late to get the news, but Liang Yiyue couldn't make up his mind whether to let Li Yongxi appear.

It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that Song Zheng pretended to inadvertently mention to Ah Da that when the second prince returned to Beijing, many people in the capital were reciting about it, and many people even went to Qingyimen Street to watch. Liang Yiyue probably felt that this was a good opportunity to enhance Li Yongxi's perception of Wanyan Yudu, so he told Li Yongxi about it.

Li Yongxi was overjoyed, she came to Daikin this time to witness the true face of the "first general", that is, the future "husband". However, she didn't have much hope, she didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet Yan Yudu himself "before marriage" today.

Just after lunch at noon today, Song Zheng and Ah Da and other eight guards escorted Li Yongxi out of the Laining Pavilion, along the east wall of the palace to the north, straight to Qingyimen Street.

In the north of the middle capital city, there are three city gates, respectively, the city gate, the Xuanmen and the Chongzhi gate, the Xuanmen is in the middle, the street after entering the door, is the Qingyimen street, the Gongchen gate outside the imperial city. Since this street is named after "Qingyi", those prisoners of war and slaves who were exterminated naturally had to be transported into Zhongdu through this street.

—————

I have to say that Wanyan Yudu's appearance is good. Nearly eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He was wearing a set of bright silver armor all over his body, wearing a red coat behind him, a tall horse with a red red head on his crotch, and a machete hanging from the side of the horse's neck. This one is also in the shape of a full moon, but it is half as large as the usual full moon scimitar, and the blade is cold and shining.

Wanyan Yudu is slightly similar to Wanyan Yusheng's appearance, however, he is angular, and his eye sockets and cheekbones are higher, which makes him more like a standard Jurchen. Although it lacks Yan Yusheng's handsomeness, it is a little more heroic and brave.

Walking on the street, Wan Yan Yudu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of eagle eyes kept looking around, with an attitude of contempt for all beings. However, Song Zheng felt a trace of coldness, in his opinion, Wanyan Yudu's smile was by no means amiable, but more of an indifference, which was an indifference that did not take everyone to heart at all.

In the crowd of onlookers, there were many women who dressed themselves in fancy clothes, or wore red scarves on their heads, or waved brocade handkerchiefs, or made a coquettish exclamation, in order to attract the attention of Wanyan Yudu. Most of these people are Jurchens, and Han women are limited by culture, so they still have to be more subtle after all.

Although the women are working hard to perform, there are no good ones, and there are no excellent ones. Of course, if Lee Yong-hee, who wears men's clothes, changes to women's clothes, he will definitely become the oiran among all women. It's a pity, for fear of getting into trouble again, she not only wore men's clothes, but also a hat. Wanyan Yu naturally couldn't see through the face of the beautiful woman under the hat.

At this time, Li Yongxi's face was slightly red, and his eyes were a little stupid. Song Zheng thought that she was attracted by Wanyan Yudu, so he called softly, "Miss, Miss, what do you think of my Dajin Emperor's bearing?" ”

However, Li Yongxi sighed leisurely and whispered, "Gongzi Song, do you think these two princes will become people like Li Jia and Zhang Sheng?" ”

Li Jia is sorry for Du Shi Niang, and in the West Chamber told by Song Zheng, Zhang Sheng abandoned Cui Yingying from the beginning to the end, which is not a good thing anyway. Li Yongxi asked this question, which shows the deep influence of the story told by Song Zheng.

Song Zheng naturally didn't dare to answer Li Yongxi's question, but he had already discussed another plan with Wan Yan Yusheng and others.

Seeing a group of people blocking the road on the street from a distance, the corners of Song Zheng's mouth turned up again. ~
