When the moon is in the sky, the bright light spreads on the vast land like mercury, and the distant mountains and near the water seem extremely lonely. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Even the Khitan capital city of Jinglinhuang Mansion is hidden in this cold and cold night, only the huge lantern at the head of the city, and the inextinguishable hanging lights of the palace flicker, radiating a faint yellow light.

After the establishment of the Khitan state, it was passed to Yelu Deguang by Yelu Abaoji, it was the late Tang Dynasty and the five seasons of iteration, the Central Plains was very weak, and the control of the surrounding tribes also fell to the extreme, Yelu Deguang took advantage of the situation to break the Bohai Sea in the east, invaded Yanyun in the south, and set up Beijing near the Inner Mongolia Balinzuo Banner in Linhuang Prefecture, set up Tokyo near Liaoyang City, Liaoning, and set up Nanjing also known as Yanjing near Youdu Mansion near present-day Beijing. After the death of Yelu Deguang, the diehards within the Khitan raised their heads, and the capital was re-established in Beijing. This Beijing Linhuang Mansion is located in the Liaohe River Youhuang Hebei, but it is a small city outside the Saiwai, which is inferior to the Liaoyang City of the Bohai Kingdom in the past.

Today's Khitan diehards are in constant conflict with the Confucian faction, and the aristocracy is highly hierarchical, but the control of people's livelihood such as curfews is much worse than that of the Central Plains. In the dead of night, there was a sound of carriages on the quiet avenue in the capital.

The carriage covered by the pagoda, the dragon and the tiger are lying, and the mouth of the delicately carved dragon and tiger is radiating a faint red light, presumably there are candles and other things inside. Ma Xixu, the king of Xiangyin in Chu State, was reclining on the free chair in the carriage, the maid was gently pressing his shoulder, and the maid was meekly beating his leg. Sitting opposite was indeed a smiling prince.

Ma Xicao yawned, when he was sleeping soundly, he was dragged to send someone to wake up from the hot bed, and in the middle of the night on a cold day, Baba ran to the palace to see the Khitan Emperor Yelujing.

Why did you come to see Yelujing in the middle of the night? Because the Khitan Emperor Yelu Jing is not an ordinary person, he does not work during the day, but only works in the middle of the night. He was known as the "wine fairy" and "sleeping king" in the Khitan, sleeping during the day and drinking at night. And in the middle of the night, it is the time when Yelu Jing drinks and drinks in the best state, and his brain is more sober, at this time, he deals with state affairs with smoke, fast, efficient, and feels good, and even if the courtiers anger the emperor, as long as they punish themselves for three cups, under normal circumstances, the emperor will forgive you at that time, and even better, if you play extraordinarily and accompany the emperor to eat, drink and chat, the next day the emperor can't remember yesterday's events.

The Khitan imperial power is there, although the following is modeled on the official positions of the Central Plains, and there are various yamen, but such heavy powers as military power are generally controlled by the patriarchs of the Khitan tribes, and they are mutually contained. Besides, this Khitan people pay more attention to tradition, and pay more attention to blood inheritance than the Han people, Yelu Jing is the blood of Emperor Taizu Taizong, and there is no one closer to him than the existing nobles.

In addition, the first emperor was too authoritarian, and cruel and easy to kill, after Yelujing came to power, he didn't take care of things all day long, just ate and drank, but had a benevolent monarch, and his reputation among the Khitan people was also good. Of course, Yelu Jing, a monarch who does not act, can get a good reputation, but also because he was in power at a very coincidental time, the first two emperors Yelu Deguang and Wu want to fight endlessly, and the voice of war weariness within the Khitan people is quite loud mainly because the two always fight, but many times they do not get any benefits, especially in the late period of Yelu Deguang, except for the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, basically did not win any battles, after changing Yelu Jing, but secretly combined with the principle of "rule by inaction", and the country gradually regained strength! To be the emperor is also time, luck, and fate, Emperor Chongzhen worked hard all his life, and finally it was difficult to escape Jingshan's hanging; Yelujing eats, drinks and has fun, although he has the name of the sleeping king, but the Khitan salty clothes, it is really a strange thing. For the country, the emperor has a single-minded preference, and it is fortunate that the people and officials are lucky, if the emperor likes this today and that tomorrow, and the country will be in chaos. Yelu Jing likes to drink and sleep, but he does not kill people indiscriminately, does not dictate power, and can listen to the different opinions of his subordinates, so he is a relatively good monarch.

"Brother Ma, my emperor is good at drinking, after you see my emperor, it's best to drink two cups, and keep my emperor's impression of you!" Thorn reminded kindly. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu had a thin waist, and even the five big and three thick Chu generals had to gird their waists and slim down. Now Yelu Jing likes to drink, and the military generals can't say it without drinking two glasses.

Ma Xicao patted the slightly bulging belly is definitely not pregnant with a child, the traditional words, it is called blessed, and the fashionable words are called **, and said with a smile: "I wrote it down, drink, no problem!" "After all, Ma Xicao has led soldiers for a few years, and the level is still there!

The two arrived at the palace, got out of the carriage, and after the report, under the guidance of the eunuch, Shi Shiran walked to Yelu Jing's royal room. After all, Yelu Jing is a man outside the Saiwai, straightforward and cute. Other monarchs, even if they like to drink, will not give their room a name with the word "wine", on the contrary, they prefer to give their room an elegant name, what Qinzheng Pavilion, Taiji Hall and the like to make a cover-up. But Yelu Jing called his royal room "Wine Table"!

After arriving at the wine table, the atmosphere inside is more solemn and solemn. Although Beijing is a small city outside the Saiwai City, it is far from the prosperous place, and even the imperial palace in it is relatively shabby. The furnishings of this imperial room are extremely simple, with a long few in front, and the left side of the long one is placed on the jade seal representing the imperial power, and the right side is ...... It seems to be a wine jar on the side. The Great Emperor Yelu Jing was sleepy-eyed and awake, no, he should be drunk and sober-eyed and sat behind a long time. His face was red, his drunken eyes were squinting, as if Guan Yun was alive. On the left and right sides of the room, there are seven or eight Khitan men of different ages who are sitting respectively. After all, the Khitan is not as good as the Central Plains, although the imperial power is high, but the relationship between the monarch and the minister seems to be quite harmonious, and this Yelu Jing even gave his subordinates a seat. As soon as the emperor sat there, more than a dozen ministers were separated, and the majestic momentum formed by holding power for many years was unconsciously revealed. Ma Xicao's heart sank, this Khitan is not given in vain, it is still a little present. He thought as he twitched his nose slightly, there seemed to be a smell of wine in the air, and the ministers were all sitting, men, standing to pee, how could anyone drink standing up.

"The Great Chu envoy greets His Majesty the Khitan Emperor!" Ma Xicao took a step forward and bowed deeply. Khitan and Chu are about to be brothers, and when the courtiers saw each other's emperors, kneeling and bowing are not considered to have lost their national dignity, but Ma Xicao, as the prince of Great Chu and Ma Yun's closest relative, he can't say anything and kneel. If he is on his knees now, then he will never be able to stand up again in his life.

You are the king of Xiangyin. Well, you have worked hard from afar, come to someone, give me a seat! Yelujing said that he was basically not stumbling when he was talking at this time, which was a normal situation, and he could completely use the power of the king.

Ma Xixu sat in the first position on the left, and Tian Yu and the others sat behind him. Ma Xicao glanced at the wine jug and wine glass, he poured himself a glass, and said to Yelujing: "Xiao Wang has heard that His Majesty is good at drinking in Jinling, and he should get drunk with His Majesty today." ”

Ye Lujing patted a few cases and said with a smile: "Okay." Sure enough, he is worthy of being from Chu State, he is bold, and he has the style of our Khitans. I love it. After he raised his glass and drank it, he thought about it and asked, "I heard that the weather in the south is much warmer than in the north, and the king of Xiangyin is still used to it in Beijing?" ”

Ma Xicao glanced at Yelu Jing, as a "famous wine fairy sleeping king", he can still ask such a humane question, Ma Xixu's opinion of Yelu Jing has changed slightly, he smiled: "Xiao Wang also had a general in the past, suffered some hardships, and fought with the country, this bitter cold weather is much better." ”

Bragging, it's definitely a swollen face and a fat man. Ma Xicao was still shivering in the carriage just now, complaining about the sky, and now he changed his words and said, "It's nothing, I'm not afraid of the cold", of course, about Yelujing's problem, Ma Xixu is not good at telling the truth.

Yelu Jing was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect that the white fat man on the other side was actually a general. The Khitan people established the country by force, and Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Deguang, and even Yelu Wu wanted to fight all their lives, but Yelu Jing grew up by his grandmother's side since he was a child, and he never had a battlefield, and he didn't know anything about the battlefield. And he has no interest in fighting in the field. However, Ma Xicao was already boasting, and Yelu Jing had to pretend to admire: "It turns out that the King of Xiangyin is still a general!" Your country's generals are like clouds, and I am envious. ”

Ma Xicao blinked, he did lead soldiers, but the ability to lead soldiers is rare, and it is not worth mentioning at all, otherwise, he has been in Langzhou for five or six years, how could he be forced by Ma Yun to not even have a chance to resist in the end. Therefore, he was afraid that Yelu Jing was proficient in military affairs, and if this sleeping king discussed military strategy with him, he would be exposed. But I didn't think about it, Yelu Jing kept silent.

Ma Xixu suddenly felt that his thigh was touched by others, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Tian Yu was secretly pointing to a few cases of mutton and squeezing his eyebrows at him. Ma Xixu pondered for a while, and suddenly understood, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty said this, but it is a bit presumptuous. After the defeat of my emperor Bianjing, I often heard him mention General Yang Gon of your country, and my heart was very hot for Your Majesty. ”

"Oh? Did Emperor Chu really say that? Yelu Jing asked a little curiously. Although he doesn't deal much with government affairs, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the situation outside. It was not without courtiers who persuaded him not to drink alcohol and to be emperor well. Those courtiers who advised the courtiers have always admired the Chu Emperor Ma Yun, thinking that this Ma Yun has the wind of Emperor Taizong's finger Yelu Deguang, and can be called a warlike Ming Jun. Unexpectedly, such a capable person actually envied himself.

"Is General Yang famous in your country?" Jerejin asked.

"Hehe, he can be called the first general in the world. If I can have such a person in Da Chu, why worry about the immortality of the pseudo-Zhou! Ma Xicao said with a smile, here, he also played a little clever, he didn't say what would happen if the Khitan reused Yang Gon, but said that Da Chu would have Yang Gon, what would happen. Such comparisons and compliments made Yelu Jing laugh out loud.
