"This is Chang'an?"

After more than a month of tiring travel, Yelu Hongji and other Liao royal families were escorted to Chang'an. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Escorted by 100,000 elite soldiers, no one could rob the prisoners. After all, he was not a good man or a woman, and secretly instructed the three generals of the Yang family to kill Yelu Hongji and Yelu Jun immediately as long as they saw that the situation was urgent. As long as the Liao State has no legitimate heir, its decline is inevitable.

However, there are no dangers along the way, even the royal tent is not the opponent of the forbidden army, what combat power is there in the Liao State, can compete with the forbidden army?

Along the way, I ate and slept in the open, and walked non-stop during the day. But in order to take care of those women of the Liao royal family, especially the seriously ill Empress Dowager Xiao, the army walked very slowly, very slowly. In fact, this is also what Yelu Hongji desperately earned. Yelu Hongji is very single, he has been a prisoner, he doesn't care about it, he looks at Yang Huaien, Yang Huairen, and Yang Huaixing angrily, and he is forced to die in exchange for this kind of treatment.

Yang Huaien also admires these Liao royal families, even if they are prisoners, they don't have the consciousness of prisoners, and no female relatives will even shed tears.

More than a month later, the 100,000-strong army finally safely "escorted" the Liao Emperor and other royal families back to Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an had already received the exact news, and they rushed to tell each other one by one, crying with joy.

How many years? was bullied by the Khitans, but the court did nothing. Today, he finally raised his eyebrows, and even destroyed the Liao State, completely turning the territory of Da Liao into the territory of Da Shun. This kind of great achievement, I'm afraid it is unprecedented and unprecedented, right?

Because of this exploit, the good deeds in the market have even compared Lu Chengqi with Qin Shi Huang, Han Gaozu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and considered him to be the first emperor of the ages.

Lu Chengqi laughed at these rumors and didn't take them to heart.

At this moment, he has arrived and is waiting for the prisoner in the Taimiao.

And Yelu Hongji just came to the outside of Chang'an City, looking at the city wall as high as five or six zhang, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. The imperial city of Linhuang Mansion is already the largest city in Liao, but the city wall is only three zhang. Compared with the majestic Chang'an City, it is really a small thing.

Yelu Hongji lowered his gaze lonely and put it on the cheering people under the city wall, he always felt that he was a little different from the Han people of Liao, but he couldn't say anything.

Linhuang Mansion is divided into Han City and Imperial City, Han people live in Han City, and Khitan people live in Imperial City. "Govern the Khitan with the national system and treat the Han people with the Han system" is the ancestral motto of the Khitan, but why are the Han people in Liao so different from the Han people in Dashun?

Suddenly, Yelu Hongji saw a half-grown child, his face was full of pride, Yelu Hongji understood in an instant, what the Han people in Liao lacked was this kind of self-confidence! This kind of self-confidence is different from the arrogance of the Khitan people, nor is it the kind of arrogance that is high and invincible, but self-confidence from the heart.

What happened to Dashun that made the Han people seem to have a earth-shaking change?

What Yelu Hongji cares about is not the prosperity of Chang'an, but the people of Chang'an, and they are what Yelu Hongji really wants to understand.

The most important resource of a country is always its people. If the people have no self-confidence, no self-improvement, and no self-esteem, they are just a lower class that has been stripped of their backbones and will never be able to raise their heads. The Han people in Liao State are a good interpretation of this.

Except for a few outstanding Han Chinese, the rest are not slaves, allowing the Khitans to beat, abuse, and ravage?

In this case, how could the Han people of Liao State hold their heads up!

But the Han people in Chang'an are different, they are used to the imperial court always winning battles, and this Northern Expedition to destroy Liao has made their national self-confidence and national self-esteem skyrocket. The people of the heavenly court are calm and confident. Even if they destroyed the Liao State, they didn't think the Khitans were any good. If you want to blame the rulers of the Liao State, it is they who have done evil.

The people of Chang'an are always the most excited group of people when it comes to the sacrifice of prisoners, and they cheer as if they are celebrating the New Year. The emperor of Liao, he actually became a prisoner of Dashun, and what an incredible thing it was to put it in the past! But the people of Chang'an have become numb, and the good news from the front line from time to time has made them see the situation clearly, and the Khitans are not the opponents of the forbidden army. This result, although unexpected, is still acceptable.

Hundreds of people from the Liao royal family such as Yelu Hongji were escorted to Taimiao.

Lu Chengqi had already gotten off the dragon chariot, carrying his hands behind his back, and waiting quietly.

"Your Majesty, here!"

An official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the salute, and bowed down to say.

"I see." Lu Chengqi nodded, although he already knew the result, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Although there was no expression on his face, his heart was already full of blood and excitement.

A group of hundreds of people, dressed in plain clothes and wearing gauze hats, appeared in the long aisle in front of the Taimiao. The first person has a haggard face, but he walks with a high step, raising his head and chest, without a trace of crampedness.

I saw that his face was full of beard, and there was a calm color in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be moved by foreign objects.

Yelu Hongji was also looking at the young man wearing the black dragon robe of the nine-clawed golden dragon, but he was in his twenties, and although he had grown a beard, he still looked immature. A pair of divine eyes are like electricity, penetrating people's hearts.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites led Yelu Hongji and others, knelt down, and shouted "Long live" three times, and Lu Chengqi said slowly: "Flat!" ”

After Yelu Hongji slowly got up, Lu Chengqi said, "Yelu Hongji? ”

"Lu Chengqi?"

"Bold !!" The official of the Ministry of Rites was shocked and angry, "Dare to call Your Majesty by his name? ”

Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" ”

Then he turned to Yelu Hongji and said, "God has been friends for a long time, and we have finally met." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and said, "Yes, I really want to know, how did you turn Dashun into what you are now?" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned, he didn't expect Yelu Hongji's first question to be so direct. "In a word, 'barbarism is its body, civilization is its spirit'."

"'Barbarism is its body, civilization is its spirit'?" After Yelu Hongji muttered a few words, he smiled bitterly, "I am not unjustly defeated, I don't even know that Dashun has undergone such changes, and I still look at it with old eyes, it should be!" ”

Lu Chengqi didn't want to discuss this issue, he was more concerned about whether Yelu Hongji would accept his house arrest: "There is a Zhuangzi next to Shanglin Yuan, big enough, how about you go to live there?" ”

"Can the prisoners still bargain?" Yelu Hongji's Chinese is very standard, and he asked seriously.

"It doesn't seem like it, but you can't kill yourself!" Lu Chengqi said lightly.

"I won't, even if I die, I am still the emperor of Liao!" There was a persistence in Yelu Hongji's eyes.
