Chapter 65 The Thief Kingdom of the Present Dynasty [First Update]

After the Khitan was pacified, he wrote to Li Siyuan, and wrote down the conditions discussed with the Khitan one by one, and then handed it over to Li Siyuan to decide, and then Li Siyuan sent envoys to carry out the canonization and presided over the enthronement ceremony of Yelu Deguang.

These things involve a lot of tedious etiquette, and the messenger alone takes countless hours and is not a day's work. Before that, Yelu Deguang could not live in the palace, and could only find another place to live in the West Building, which may have been a great grievance for him, but for Yelu Min, time was not a waste of time.

Now that the big thing has been decided, Lu Longjun has taken over most of the city defense of the West Building, and Li Congjing is even higher in the city, and he has begun to sit up as the master.

If before, pro-Tang was only the political line choice of some nobles and officials, and it was only the only way for them to cling to Yelumin's power, then now, pro-Tang is a naked temptation of interests and the trend of the times.

The biggest reason why Li Congjing stayed in the West Building and did not leave for a long time was nothing more than to help Yelumin and further strengthen the Khitan pro-Tang faction. With the backing of force, everything seems to be logical and easy to get any easier.

This is also the reason why the war has ended, and the Weisai Army and the Hedong Army still have to go to the West Building. Showing off their might, or preaching the might of the Tang Army, and deterring all the lawless thoughts of the petty people, this is what nearly 100,000 Tang troops have to do.

The city of Xilou is not small, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the big city of the Central Plains. Nearly 100,000 Tang troops camped outside the city, and the camp was far larger than Xilou City. In terms of prestige, the military camp is a big city, but the west building has become a small city. In front of the murderous and iron-clad barracks, Xiloucheng was like a trembling child.

As for the Khitan army, Yelubei and Yelu Deguang battled, not to mention countless casualties, not to mention many people fled and returned to their tribes to close their doors, and in the Khitan military camp outside the West Tower, there were only half of the soldiers and horses of the Tang army. Originally, there were some soldiers and horses in Xilou City, but at this moment, they received Yelumin's order, and they also stayed in the camp honestly.

The happiest Khitans these days, aside from Yelu Min, are counted as Yelu Enemy. This guy dangled behind Li Congjing's ass when he had nothing to do, and tried his best to get closer to the courtiers, and later saw that Li Congjing really didn't like to take care of himself, and he was not discouraged, so he ran to make friends with the Tang army generals.

He was originally a noble person, and he took the initiative to lead the army to surrender, which greatly boosted the morale of the Tang Dynasty and saved the Tang Army a lot of trouble, so when he was willing to "grovel", he won the favor of many Tang Army generals.

Yelu Dilie has now completely become a cautious person, even if he gets along with Li Yanchao and others, he doesn't dare to mention the matter of letting Lu Longjun return the Raozhou officers.

On this day, Li Congjing, who has always been salty and indifferent to him, sent someone to summon him to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the North Courtyard.

The Prime Minister's Mansion in the North Courtyard is full of traffic, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries like ants. Yelu had to dismount a hundred paces away, because he really couldn't squeeze in, and the short distance made him toss nearly half a pillar of incense before he found the door in a sweat.

After entering the mansion, Yelu Dilie was arranged to wait in the side hall, and then the person who received him left, and there was no news for half a day.

There were many officials in the side hall, all talking to each other, and when they saw Yelu Enemy Lie coming in, their faces suddenly changed, but it was self-evident what the position of most of the people who could sit here. The strange atmosphere at first did not last long, and immediately people came to greet him, some of whom were familiar with him, and even closer to him as if they were their own brothers.

Yelu Enemy Lie did not sit in the hall for long, as if he had become the central figure, surrounded by his officials, twittering and holding him up to the sky, some euphemistic words, praising him for his insight into opportunities, some direct words, praising him for knowing the current affairs, back and forth, making a great increase in Yelu Enemy's confidence, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Therefore, the Tang Dynasty has shown the appearance of rejuvenation, and it will not be long before the Heavenly Khan will reappear in the world, everyone, what should you and I do, isn't it clear at a glance?" When Jereh said this, his posture was very good, and he immediately received a chorus of echoes.

Then someone finally came over and told the King of Qin to pass it on.

Yelu Dilie hurriedly got up, and under the envious eyes of a group of dignitaries, he bowed and followed the person out of the door.

When I saw Li Congjing, Yelu Min was also present without accident, in addition to two officials, one was a person from King Qin's side, he naturally recognized it, called Du Qianshu, and the other one, Yelu Enemy Lie was also familiar with, that was the number one person in charge of the law in Khitan China, Kang Moji.

"The ministers have met His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the officials have seen the Prime Minister." Jerod and Jereol hurried to make a great salute.

"Get up, sit." Li Congjing pointed to a desk.

After Yelu was seated, Li Congjing asked him: "How is the heart of the Raozhou army?" ”

Yelu Enemy's butt hadn't touched his seat yet, and when he heard this, he immediately got up, and he couldn't grasp the deep meaning of Li Congjing's question for a while, "This...... The military heart is still available, Your Highness can rest assured, the warriors are absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty! ”

"You don't have to be so nervous, sit." Li Congjing smiled.

"Your Highness." Jereh sat down immediately.

"I called you here today to hear your views on the Khitan military. You have always been a military minister, and at this critical time, the Prime Minister would like you to have something to say. Li Congjing said.

The weight of Li Congjing's words was not light, Yelu Dilie's heart was shocked, and he actually saw the meaning of expectation in Li Congjing's eyes, which made him drink chicken blood, and then looked at Yelumin, the other party also looked at him with some expectation, and couldn't help but be more encouraged.

Speaking of military affairs, Yelu Enemy Lie is an expert, although he is busy making friends with Tang generals these days, paving the way for the future, but he does not dare to forget his duty, the Khitan military pattern - the so-called pattern, nothing more than how to divide the military forces of Yelu Min and Yelu Deguang in the future, has had in-depth thinking, this time see Li Congjing's question, busy sorting out the wording, one by one.

Although Yelu Enemy Lie was selfish and took refuge in Li Congjing at a critical juncture, it was only a matter of virtue and had nothing to do with talent, his military talent was extremely outstanding, otherwise he would not have been the king of the Southern Courtyard as early as Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Enemy Lie opened his mouth and spoke for more than half an hour.

His suggestion for the division of military forces between Yelu Min and Yelu Deguang was very clear: let the east occupy the west.

Yelude is in the Huanglong Mansion, the east is his foundation, and it is also the area where the Khitan Eight Divisions are more concentrated, and Shu Luping has a great influence, and Yelumin does not need to fight with it, and he can't fight.

If we can't fight for the east, we will fight for the west. The west is mostly the new stronghold of the Khitan after the founding of the country, and the east of the religion, the power of the old nobles is limited, and Yelu Bei marched westward, leaving remnants of soldiers and horses along the way, and Yelu Min just took it for his own use.

In a sense, the dispute between Yelu Min and Yelu Deguang is a dispute between the emerging Khitan forces attached to the Tang Dynasty and the old nobles who take the Khitan as the foundation.

Moreover, the east is bordered by the Bohai State in the east, and there is external pressure, while in the west is the Black Chezi Murwei and the Tatar Department, and the Khitan will not fight them, and they are absolutely powerless to do evil.

In the end, Yelu Dilie concluded: "As long as the prime minister controls the west, after the Tang Dynasty garrisons in Yikun Prefecture, he will be able to form three sides in the west, south, and east with the Anbei camp and the Bohai State in Liaodong, and encircle Yelu Deguang in it, and trap it in it and cannot use it." Even if Yerod Guang wants to expand his power, he can only go north, and the north is cold, and there are not too many rich areas, so Yerod Guang is weak and weak, and it is still difficult to protect himself, and he has no ability to compete with the prime minister. ”

Li Congjing praised Yelu Enemy, which caused the other party to be greatly excited, and then said: "To control the west, Raozhou must be included in the bag, and Raozhou is close to the West Building, which can echo each other, and those who get Raozhou get the West Building, which is really the most important thing." ”

Yelu Min was not very optimistic, "When Yelu Deguang agreed to your conditions, he only proposed that Raozhou would not be offered, which shows that he attaches great importance to Raozhou, and if he wants him not to covet Raozhou, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult." ”

Li Congjing smiled, "I have my own way." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Jerudire.

Yelu Enemy Lie didn't know what Li Congjing meant, but this did not prevent him from bowing and shouting: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

Yelu Enemy Lie's behavior made Li Congjing laugh dumbly, "In the future, my king will return to the south, and the country will rely more on the consolation envoy, and the safety of the prime minister will be handed over to you." ”

Yelu Dilie's heart was shocked, and his heart turned out to be the main intention of Li Congjing to call him here today.

"You're relieved." Jeremiah also turned and saluted.

Yelu Enemy Lie collected his thoughts and said solemnly: "The Prime Minister is serious, and the next official will not give up. ”

At this point, the tone is settled.

Yelu Min is in power, standing on her own mountain and competing with Yelu Deguang's imperial power, and everything else is easy to say, but militarily, Ye Lu Min's power in the Khitan State is too shallow, and she is not very familiar with military affairs, which is really difficult.

Coincidentally, just when Li Congjing was worried about this matter, Yelu Enemy Lie led his troops to surrender, and this time it was really sleepy, and someone sent a pillow. So Li Congjing made up his mind and asked Yelu Enemy Lie to assist Yelu Min and help her support half the sky of the military.

The answer between Yelu Min and Yelu Enemy Lie was actually a decision that Ye Lu Enemy Lie would not go to the Tang Dynasty, but would stay in Khitan to assist Ye Lumin.

As for Yelu Enemy's loyalty, Li Congjing is not worried, because he has no choice, and it is impossible for him to throw himself into Yelu Deguang again - if he votes for Yelu Deguang, he will not get more than he does now, only less. The most important thing is that as long as the Tang Dynasty is strong, Yelu Enemy Lie will not kill himself.

After the tone of martial affairs is set, let's talk about civil affairs and civil affairs.

This aspect is something that Li Congjing is not worried about.

The pro-Tang Wenchen under Yelu Min was divided into two parts, one part was Khitan and the other was Han.

The former was led by Jerhelm himself, and the latter was headed by Commer.

This has to say that Comer remembers this person.

Like Han Yanhui and Han Zhigu, he was also taken captive from the Tang border by Yelu Abaoji in his early years, and then his talent was discovered, and he was gradually reused by Yelu Abaoji, and became an important minister of the court and a representative figure of Han officials. Unlike Han Yanhui, Kang Moji did not forget his ancestors like the former, and became Yelu Abaoji's dog wholeheartedly.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has been revived strongly, and Kang Mo has not been in the Khitan for a long time, he still misses his family and country in his heart, so he naturally wants to stand on the front of the pro-Tang faction.

The Han officials in the Khitan Kingdom are almost all taken captive and then used, such as Kang Moji, who is nostalgic for his homeland, is the majority, and there are very few people like Han Yanhui who have forgotten their ancestors.

These Han officials, some time ago, worked for the Khitan and controlled part of the Khitan authority, and now the Tang Dynasty's northern pressure has been completed, and they have fallen to the Tang Dynasty and helped the motherland, naturally with a part of the Khitan power.

It is not unreasonable for the pro-Tang faction to prevail.

From Kang Moji's experience and current actions, Li Congjing couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories: if the Han people all go to other countries as officials, once the power is strong enough to control the power of other countries, they can cooperate with the motherland's army and overthrow other countries and become the country of the Han people.

There are only two words that can accurately describe this kind of thing: stealing the country!

Li Congjing once speculated maliciously: If Yelu Abaoji saw the current situation in the Khitan country, maybe he would be angry.

Li Congjing hated people like Han Yanhui to the core, but he admired Kang Moji for these "spies".

So much so that when Li Congjing first saw Kang Moji, he held the other party's hand, tears were about to flow, and he said to him sincerely: "Over the years, I have suffered Mr. Please forgive me, sir, it's too late. The lonely generation of Datang made amends to Mr. ”

At that time, Kang Mo remembered the old tears, bowed down and bowed, his body trembled, and he cried bitterly, "The ministers looked south day and night, and waited for the king all night, and they almost wanted to wear it." Now I finally see the king coming north, and the ministers will die without regrets! ”

Li Congjing was stunned when he saw this, and then realized what he had ignored for a long time.

His heart trembled, and he almost wanted to slap himself.

Behind Kang Moji, those Han officials who silently wiped their tears also bowed down and cried.

Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng.

The people of the Central Plains are still waiting for Wang Shi to go north, and those Han people who go to the country and leave their hometowns, to what extent should they expect Wang Shi?

Looking at Chang'an in the south, there are countless mountains pitiful.

Li Congjing looked at the Han officials who knelt down in front of him, these poor people whose wives were separated and their families were ruined, most of them were full of wind and frost, and only the old and crippled bodies remained, perhaps no one knew their pain, but their watchfulness of the king and their desire to return to the Tang Dynasty were real and touching.

In the past, until they died, to bury their bones in the barren grave, to turn into dust, they could not hope to come to the king. Their blood and tears were buried deep in the ground, and after countless years, they only turned into a heavy sigh. Who has solved a point?

Li Congjing bowed down deeply in front of these compatriots, and clasped his head on the ground, "Congjing, come to pick you up." ”

Fortunately, in this life, I didn't come too late.
