Chapter 105: The Worries of the Liao Emperor (I)

The person in the carriage was Chen Yankai, the zaifu of the Great Liao Empire.

The Great Liao Empire was officially established, and it has been nearly a year since the capital Liaoyang was established. A year has passed, the military strength of the Great Liao Empire is still strong, and the Manshu Iron Cavalry is still an invincible division across Liaodong.

The Liao Empire seemed to be powerful, but in fact it was also full of crises. The Manshu tribe is long in military affairs and short in people's livelihood. Before entering Liaodong, the Manshu people lived by water, half farming and half herding, and their way of life was not much different from that in Changbai. The shortcomings of the Manshu have not yet been revealed.

However, since the Manshu people entered Liaodong and had their own stable base area, the shortcomings of the Manshu people were magnified. Under the rule, the people's livelihood withered, and countless Han people fled south. The Liao army was able to hunt down hundreds of Han people who had fled south at the junction of Zhao and Liao almost every day, and even hung the heads of Han people who had fled south on the border as a warning. However, it did not have the effect of killing a hundred people, and more and more Han people fled south.

Chen Yankai is not short-sighted, otherwise he would not be valued by the generation of male lords of the Manshu clan, Wanyan Shengcong, and entrusted with the important task of the Liao State's Zaifu.

He knew very well that if he continued like this, despite the strength of the Great Liao Empire, the Manshu people would not be able to gain a foothold in Liaodong for a long time, and the final outcome would be nothing more than to withdraw from Liaodong.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Chen Yankai was already aware of this. After finishing Yan Shengcong, he proposed a set of restructuring plans to speed up the process of sinicization of the Liao regime. Although the Liao Empire temporarily defeated the Zhao Empire militarily, the Liao Empire can be said to be useless except for the military.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, there are no longer a few alien races that have risen outside the Saiwai, but there are only a few who can enter the Central Plains and occupy half of China. Several nomadic peoples who can occupy half of China's country are all after defeating the Central Plains Dynasty militarily, absorbing the advanced institutional culture of the Central Plains and speeding up the process of sinicization of their own people. Due to the strong influence of the old family of the Manshu clan in the clan, it is difficult for Chen Yankai to implement this plan, and the results are very small.

Taking history as a mirror, history is a mirror. There is not much difference between the Manshu people and the nomadic peoples who have emerged outside the Central Plains since the late Tang Dynasty, and the foreign races outside the Central Plains since the late Tang Dynasty have great reference significance for the Manshu people.

Wanyan Shengcong has not summoned his courtiers alone at night for a long time, perhaps because today's court meeting broke up unhappily, Wanyan Haiya actually sent a chariot driver and Wang Tent soldiers to take Chen Yankai into the palace for deliberations. Hanchen, who can be sent by Yan Shengcong to pick him up, so far, I'm afraid that Chen Yankai is the only one.

Chen Yankai has never met a talent in half his life, and after being appreciated by Yan Shengcong, he was immediately reused, and now he has achieved the position of a country's chief assistant. From a petty official who is not in the stream, to now wearing a python robe, and the official residence is in a country, how changeable his life is and how changeable his life is. If he hadn't made up his mind to defect to the Manshu tribe, how could he be where he is today. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are bold and prepared.

This is especially true for a nation, a country. A country and a nation that has the courage to grasp the opportunity, even if it is scarred, can stand up again in the ruins and stand again among the nations of the world.

Thinking about it, the carriage came to a sudden stop.

The carriage had already arrived in front of the palace, and in front of it was the forbidden palace place, and it was no longer possible to drive the carriage forward.

"Lord Zaisuke, the palace has arrived, please get off the car."

The leader of the Wang Tent reported respectfully in front of the car. These royal tent soldiers are all guards with knives in front of Wanyan Shengcong's palace, and their trust in Chen Yankai comes from Wanyan Shengcong's reliance on Chen Yankai.

Chen Yankai lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage under the careful service of the two royal tent soldiers.

The imperial palace of the Liao Empire was formerly known as the Liao Palace, and the Liao King Song Yuli advocated frugality, and the Liao Palace, which was not luxurious, and the area was not large. It's okay to be a vassal king's palace, but it's a bit shabby as an imperial palace.

Wanyan Shengcong also had no intention of building a magnificent palace, rather than taking a lot of silver to build the palace, it was better to invest the silver in the army, buy iron materials, and add weapons.

Chen Yankai is no stranger to the Liao Imperial Palace, he is a frequent visitor here, from the palace gate to the Imperial Palace where Yan Shengcong handles government affairs, Chen Yankai does not know how many times he has walked it, even if he is blindfolded, Chen Yankai has the confidence to grope in front of the Imperial Palace.

The new owner of this mansion inherited the original owner's style of advocating frugality, and after changing from the palace to the palace, there was no excessive decoration except for the imperial palace. With some dim light, Chen Yankai walked to the door of the Imperial Palace.

Chen Yankai stopped his footsteps at the gate of the palace, and the Wang tent soldiers guarding the door saw Chen Yankai coming, and said softly, Lord Zaifu, which was regarded as a greeting. After that, he turned around and entered the Imperial Palace to report to Yan Shengcong.

Hearing that Chen Yankai had arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, Wanyan Shengcong's eyes flashed with excitement, glanced at the outside of the hall, and said loudly: "Chen Aiqing, come in." ”

After Yan Shengcong spoke, Chen Yankai moved his steps and entered the Imperial Palace.

"Sit down!"

As soon as Yan Shengcong's words fell, a royal tent soldier had already moved a nest covered with brocade behind Chen Yankai, his movements were quiet and fast, and he barely made any sound.

After doing this, the king's tent soldiers withdrew from the Imperial Palace and stood outside the palace. In the empty hall, only the monarch and the minister were left.

"Thank the emperor for sitting." After finishing the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Chen Yankai put half of his butt on the embroidered pier.

After Yan Shengcong became the emperor, the title also changed from the Great Khan to the emperor. At first, Wanyan Shengcong felt a little obedient to this title, and the emperor was far less comfortable than being handed over by the Great Khan for nearly forty years. After calling for a few months, Wanyan Shengcong slowly got used to the title of emperor.

"Aiqing uses tea." Wanyan Shengcong raised his hand and signaled, and Chen Yankai didn't know when the hot tea was brewed on the desk in front of him.

The holy will is irrefutable, Chen Yankai is not hypocritical, after writing a little about Yan Shengcong, he picked up the tea cup, and the tea was warm. The effort of blowing hot steam was saved, and Chen Yankai opened his mouth directly and sipped it.

"At today's court meeting, Chen Aiqing also saw it, others don't know my difficulties, Chen Aiqing should know my difficulties, it's not easy for me to belong." There are only two monarchs and ministers in the hall, and there are no outsiders, and Wanyan Shengcong poured bitter water on Chen Yankai for the first time.

Wanyan Shengcong is a king with a resolute character, who led the Manshu tribe to fight a bloody way out of the Saiwai, and then fought against the huge Zhao Empire for more than 20 years, which is not without difficulty. But Wanyan Shengcong never complained of hardship, and gritted his teeth and survived. This was the first time he poured bitter water.

Undoubtedly, Wanyan Shengcong encountered something more difficult than leading the people to fight their way out of the strong enemy to survive.
