Chapter 389: Wooing

When Yelu Hongji saw Xiao Feng like this, he also felt his blood boiling. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Although he was nicknamed the "Emperor of Confucianism" by the Han people in the south, what flowed in his body was the blood of the Khitan people. Advocating force is the foundation for the Khitan people to build a country. As the emperor of Liao, how could Yelu Hongji forget his roots?

Don't look at his deep understanding of music and law, good at calligraphy and painting, and loves poetry and songs, but Yelu Hongji's riding and archery also has certain attainments. Even in hand-to-hand combat on horseback, he has the kung fu of a saber in one hand. Hearing that Xiao Feng was willing to be the striker, Yelu Hongji shouted: "Okay, my Khitan No. 1 warrior is extraordinary!" I will raise troops in the future, and I will send you as the vanguard, so that I can teach those Jurchens what a real warrior is! ”

Xiao Feng said: "I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" It's just that Xiao Feng won't take the royal tent with him, after all, the royal tent is to protect His Majesty. Xiao Feng only needs 10,000 palace tent troops to be able to kill the birth of the girl Zhen upside down! ”

Yelu Hongji smiled: "There's no need to be in a hurry, didn't you just say that it is not suitable to go on an expedition in winter?" I thought I'd wait for the next spring to raise an army to fight. At that time, the ice and snow will melt, and even if those Jurchens hide in the deep mountains and old forests, there will be nowhere to hide! ”

Xiao Feng wanted to speak and stopped, he had seen the dense forest, and he knew how difficult it was to make a living there. But Yelu Hongji has been galloping on the grassland all his life, and all he has seen is sparse and sparse bushes, where have he seen the real deep mountains and old forests? Xiao Feng won't tell him about the hardships and dangers, as long as it is a battle achievement.

Yelu Hongji's heart was over, and his interest grew, and he suddenly said: "Xiao Feng, I haven't hunted for a long time, how about you accompany me to hunt today?" ”

Xiao Feng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there are not many prey on this reed. If you want to hunt, you have to ride a horse for another hundred and eighty miles. It's past noon, and this time I have to go back in the starry night. In the dark night, there are many dangers, Your Majesty is a golden body, and it is not advisable to wade into danger! ”

Yelu Hongji was a little angry, and said: "Who doesn't know that this radius of a hundred miles is the defense range of your royal tent relatives, who dares not to have long eyes?" I have your protection, if something still happens, it is clear that you are incompetent in your daily life! ”

Seeing that Yelu Hongji was determined to go hunting, Xiao Feng could only obey the order: "Xiao Feng has the order, so I will go back and order the royal tent to follow His Majesty ......around."

Yelu Hongji stopped him: "Wait! ”

Xiao Feng reined in the horse's head, turned the horse's head, and waited for Yelu Hongji's will. "I just don't want so many people to follow, how boring is hunting like that? Just you people, more than 100 people can't protect me, and you should be beheaded! ”

Xiao Feng stubbornly said: "But Your Majesty, there are many wolves on this grassland, especially at ......night."

Yelu Hongji laughed and said: "I, the Khitans, claim to be the descendants of wolves, and when I see wild wolves, I should be like my own family, afraid of what they will do!" What's more, we still have bows, arrows, knives and guns, what if the wolf comes? Even if you go, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? Xiao Feng, especially you, as the first warrior of the Khitan, is that you not bold? ”

Xiao Feng was also ruthless, and said: "I, Xiao Feng, am not afraid of heaven and earth, and I will protect Your Majesty!" ”

Yelu Hongji smiled: "Good! This is the spirit of the first warrior of the Khitan! Drive!!! As soon as the words fell, Yeluhongji galloped away into the depths of the steppe. The palace tent army and Xiao Feng behind him also hurriedly followed.

In the Linhuang Mansion, Yelu Chongyuan received a secret report and muttered: "Yelu Hongji is out of the city, what is he doing when he goes out of the city at this time?" ”

Yelu Nerugu smiled on the side: "What else can I do, my cousin is in a bad mood, and he went hunting outside the city to relax!" ”

Yelu Chongyuan didn't think it was just that, in fact, they didn't guess wrong. Yelu Hongji's original intention was to go to Xiao Feng and listen to the opinion of this first Khitan warrior. Later, the interest came, and I did go hunting.

It's just that these two people who want to usurp the throne never thought that Yelu Hongji would dare to be so bold, and with only more than 200 horsemen beside him, he dared to stay away from Linhuang Mansion a hundred miles away. If he had learned the news in advance and quietly sent a team of 10,000 people, it would have been difficult for Yelu Hongji to fly even if he had wings. And their habitual thinking habitually believes that in the Linhuang Mansion, there are the three most powerful Khitan armies, the palace tent army, the guard army and the royal tent horse, and it is impossible to rebel in the Linhuang Mansion. Unless more than half of the 400,000 palace tent troops, 10,000 guard troops, and 30,000 royal tent soldiers were transferred, they would have a chance.

Later, when they learned that Yeluhongki had really taken 200 men to hunt, they beat their chests and feet, eager to reward themselves with a few slaps. This is an unavoidable opportunity, and if they want to encounter such an opportunity again in the future, when will they have to wait until they miss it themselves, who is to blame?

But at the moment, they are following a seemingly steady path - to win over the courtiers. Previously, Yelu Chongyuan was too domineering and did not take the ministers of the DPRK and China seriously, so that the relationship with the ministers of the DPRK and China was very bad. Those who do not make evil friends have no good feelings towards their father and son. If you want to usurp the throne and seize power, without the support of the courtiers, it is difficult to move an inch. Don't say anything, it's the news of the DPRK, and their father and son also know very late.

If you want to change this situation, you must start deliberately getting close to the courtiers, and it is best to get their handles or something. Taking advantage of Yelu Hongji's departure from Linhuang Mansion, Yelu Chongyuan summoned Yelu Nerugu to implement his idea.

Yelu Nerugu was puzzled and said, "Father, which of these courtiers is a good thing?" Why do we bother with them? You're a dignified uncle, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses! What are they coming from......

Yelu Chongyuan hates that iron does not become steel, this straw bale son, has no power ambitions, but has no political means, and will only rely on some cleverness to use means. This kind of heart is only false if he can accomplish things on his own. Yelu Chongyuan patiently explained: "These courtiers, although they are not important ministers, control the important position of the court. We have a lot of bad relations with important ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and if we can't win over these people, who else will support us in the DPRK and the central government? There are already many people in the hands of the Father, and from this day forward, if you want to visit the door with the Father, you must keep these people in our hands, so that the big things can go more smoothly, do you understand? ”

Yelu Nerugu still didn't understand, thought for a while and said, "These people are not important ministers, what use do you want them?" ”

"What my father wants is Jelu Hongji's information, intelligence! Do you understand, if it weren't for the fact that my father bought a eunuch in the court, the news of Yelu Hongji's departure from the palace today, I'm afraid that tomorrow, you and I still don't know! Yelu Chongyuan had a faint anger on his face.

Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan was about to be angry, even the three or five thick Yelu Nerugu didn't dare to provoke him, and hurriedly said: "Father, I understand, I'll go and prepare a generous gift and visit ......" (to be continued.) )
