Chapter 455: Advance is Retreat
The next day, Yelu Hongji held an early court at the Kaihuang Palace, as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSpeaking of which, the Liao State has completely inherited the system of the Central Plains Dynasty, the daily routine of the early dynasty system, and Mu Xiu, which is more like the Central Plains Dynasty than Dashun, and even some countries in Central Asia and West Asia regard Liao as China. There is no way, in order to attract the literati, Dashun Taizu proposed a humanized system of five days and one dynasty, which was postponed every festival. Being an official in Dashun, as long as the cost is not too large, it is completely comfortable and relaxing. After all, the cumbersome government affairs have already been done by the officials below.
But this comfortable and pleasant day has come to an end. Since the little emperor of Dashun announced the implementation of the new policy, the officials have been transformed into ten officials who are "on an equal footing" with these civil officials. In the past, the days when all the heavy work was done by the officials are gone. At present, the chief officials of every yamen have to deal with a lot of affairs, and they are simply too busy. If it weren't for the officials, oh no, if it was the Shipin officials who helped them do some, I'm afraid that the performance appraisal in the coming year would not be able to meet the standards for the promotion of the officials.
If these officials knew the word "exploitation", they would definitely scold Lu Chengqi for being an exploitative capitalist and desperately squeezing their value.
They also don't want to think about it, compared to the officials of the Liao State, they can't be more relaxed. At least you don't have to go to the morning pilgrimage every day, this is the biggest advantage. Mu Xiu once every ten days, you can also visit relatives, drink with friends in the restaurant, and talk about poetry......
This person, with comparison, understands how beautiful it is to cherish the previous life. But the little emperor's determination to implement the new policy was so firm that no one could persuade him. Those officials of the yamen, big and small, have been full of mistakes and omissions since they took over the work of the former officials. In particular, when they were studying, they were seriously biased, thinking that they could not learn enough to learn and that it was not worth spending energy on learning. As a result, the accounts are always miscalculated, and even the night battle may not be calculated. In just half a month, most of the officials in the household department had several gray hairs.
If they saw the officials of the Liao State and still lived so chicly, they would definitely be envious. Because the early dynasty was held every day, there was no major event to be discussed. Yelu Hongji sat on the high throne, and when he saw the lifeless appearance in the palace of the emperor, he was also tired for a while, and said, "It's all about to play?" If not, just retreat, it's really boring, it's not fun to go out hunting yet! With that, I couldn't help but yawn. Even if Yelu Hongji is in the prime of life, he should be overdrawn if he was squeezed by Concubine Hui for several nights in a row.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Yelu Yixin, the deputy envoy of the North Court and the deputy privy council, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to hunting, today the minister is on the way to the early dynasty, and I heard a rumor that there is a big insect on the Taizi Mountain, which is like snow, with black eyes and black forehead, tall and strong like an ox, steel teeth and iron teeth, and a tail like a steel whip, which injures several hunters and cannot catch ......."
Before the words fell, Yelu Yixin caught a glimpse of Yelu Hongji's eyes flashing, and he seemed to be eager to try. Tigers, I have seen a lot of wolves on the grassland, but this is really the first time I have seen a tiger. According to Orion, except for the tigers on the Changbai Mountain, the tigers on the grassland have not been seen for some years. Now there are rumors in Taizi Mountain that there is a tiger, or a white tiger, how can this be! Yeluhongji tigers have seen them, but they are all yellow-fured, so it is not unusual to think about it. But with white fur, this is rare. According to the words of the Han people, this is a spirit animal on behalf of the West, because the West is golden, the color is white, so it is called the White Tiger, the main killing, the representative season is autumn, is a symbol of power and dignity. And it just so happens that it is late autumn, and now that the white tiger has appeared, doesn't it mean that if you hunt it, you are a powerful party?
There is also the implication of the White Tiger, which is that the Lord kills in the west, and Dashun is in the west of Liao, doesn't it mean that after hunting it, Da Liao will be able to break through Dashun? Yelu Hongji is familiar with Han culture, and after a change of mind, he understands the truth. Before he could speak, Yelu Chongyuan jumped out and said, "Your Majesty must not go hunting!" ”
Yelu Hongji looked at this imperial uncle, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Imperial uncle, why can't you go hunting?" ”
Yelu Chongyuan said: "Your Majesty only hunted once a while ago, and it has been abandoned for a few days. Since the founding of my Khitan Taizu, this has rarely been the case. Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and the matter of hunting should be put aside for the time being......"
Seeing this, many people thought that Yelu Chongyuan was crazy. How can a rare opportunity be given away?
In fact, this is the genius of Yelu Chongyuan. He knew that he and Yelu Yixin were incompatible, and Yelu Yixin proposed a hunt, but Yelu Chongyuan naturally couldn't go along with it. And Yelu Hongji is partial to Yelu Yixin, so naturally he will not take Yelu Chongyuan's words to heart. This trick not only put aside the suspicion of rebellion, but also forced Yelu Hongji to go even if he didn't want to hunt.
Besides, even Yelu Chongyuan knows the meaning of the white tiger, can Yelu Hongji know? The temptation of the white tiger, how can Yelu Hongji, who is familiar with Han culture, refuse?
Sure enough, Yelu Yixin said: "Uncle Huang is too worried, my Daliao is a country with bows and horses, and I don't hunt, how can I show my strength?" ”
Yelu Hongji hurriedly continued: "The privy envoy is reasonable, Uncle Huang, I am hunting for the sake of Da Liao!" The meaning of the white tiger must also be known to the imperial uncle. Hunting a white tiger can be described as a tiger with wings! If you want to come to that Dashun, how can you be my opponent of Da Liao? ”
Seeing this, Yelu Chongyuan's party realized that it was a move to advance and retreat, which was really clever! Originally, he was sweating for him, such a great opportunity, why did Yelu Chongyuan get dizzy?
Yelu Chongyuan said angrily: "That's just hearsay, how can it be done accurately? ”
This sentence can be regarded as scolding Yelu Hongji. With Yelu Hongji's mind, how can he accept it calmly? Immediately, he turned his face and said, "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more about the imperial uncle." That's it, retreat! ”
With that, Yelu Hongji stood up and walked away with a straight face. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, Yelu Yixin and Yelu Chongyuan were originally incompatible, and it was reasonable for them to fight for the sake of fighting. But why did the imperial uncle change his body this time and become a "loyal minister"?
Ye Luliang, the Tongzhi of the Southern Courtyard, frowned, and after following the officials out of the Kaihuang Palace, he still felt that there must be a demon when things went wrong! It's just that where the "demon" is, he hasn't figured it out for a while.
And Yelu Chongyuan exchanged a look with Xiao Hujian, and everyone tacitly agreed. Yelu Chongyuan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, his acting skills have successfully deceived Yelu Hongji, and it can be said that the big thing is half of the success! Now he was anxious to know if Yerenelugu had brought his tribesmen to the foot of Mount Prince to ambush him. Although he maintained an angry look on his face, it was obvious that there was a trace of self-satisfaction hidden in it. (To be continued.) )
