Chapter 157 The country is called the Northern Zhou

Among the twelve wolf kings, except for the Tuoba Wolf King, who is qualified to lead the army into the royal city of the royal court, the remaining eleven wolf kings are not qualified to do so.

Therefore, after the rest of the eleventh wolf kings arrived at the royal court, they all placed the cavalry soldiers who brought their entourage outside the city, and they were able to enter the city smoothly, except for their personal masters, and the entourage should not exceed thirty people.

But they don't worry about their own safety at all, not counting the six little wolf kings, among the other six wolf kings, which one doesn't have a top master in charge! For example, the two elders of the deer and wolf mentioned by Helian Zejun are the two top masters of the first-class strength! They are also the two worshippers of their Helian family.

If Wang Ting really had the idea of gathering them together and raping them, these first-class masters would not say that they would protect everyone, but it would not be difficult to protect several wolf kings from the city together.

And even if Wang Ting is fully prepared and can kill all the wolf kings present without fail, smart people know that eggs can't be put in one basket, and these people who have the ability to be the wolf king will understand this truth even if they are stupid.

They had already written their wills before they came, and if anything happened to them, the tribe would have a new heir the next day, and then those wolf king families would put aside all their previous prejudices and attack the royal court together.

This kind of situation is not what Yelu Hongbin wants to see, so he will not do those stupid things to encircle and annihilate the wolf kings of various tribes.

As the days passed, the wolf kings who were divided into various places also rushed to the royal court one by one, and after they brought people into the city, they did not live in the inner city of the royal court, and each of their families built a post station in this royal court, which was used for them to rest when they came.

According to the distribution of the families on the grassland, the one farthest away from the royal court is the Wanyan family, and when the Wanyan Wolf King also arrives with people, it means that the most powerful people on the grassland have gathered in this royal court.

Yelu Hongbin may indeed be unable to wait for some things in his heart, so as soon as Wanyan Honglie, the wolf king of the Wanyan family, arrived at the post station, Yelu Hongbin's herald eunuch had already arrived at the door of the post station of the wolf kings of each family.

And these heralds and eunuchs want to convey the same sentence, so that all the wolf kings will go to the inner city tomorrow morning to discuss important matters.

There was nothing to say all night, this time the time when the major wolf kings came to the royal court was not like usual, they only stayed for ten days and a half months, and no one wanted to leave until everything was finalized, so some secret plans were not in a hurry to put on the table.

This side of the grassland is not like Da Chu and the rooster crows, so the next day when the sun on the grassland has just risen, the major wolf kings set off from their post stations and rush to the inner city.

Only the twelve wolf kings who are qualified to participate in the discussion today, except for Helian Zejun, who attended on behalf of his father, all the rest are the wolf kings in person!

In the huge conference hall, Yelu Hongbin, as the host, had not yet appeared, and the twelve wolf kings had already arrived one after another, and sat in their respective seats according to their rankings.

Helian Zejun quietly sat in the second position behind Tuoba Shence, and the rest of the people narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw it, as if they were waiting for a good show.

It has been said before that the Helian family has the strength of the top three among the twelve wolf kings, but except for the first Tuoba family, it is not clear whether he is the second or the third. There is no accurate statement as to who is the second between their Helian family and the Huyan family.

So when Hu Yanzhuo, the wolf king of the Huyan family, came to the conference hall, he saw Helian Zejun sitting upright in his seat at a glance.

However, he was not in a hurry to get angry about this, the strength of the Helian family has grown over the years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his Helian family is the second, but he is compared to him like this, and his heart is very uncomfortable.

Hu Yanzhuo slowly walked to the third position, his eyes looking forward but looking at Helian Zejun intentionally or unintentionally.

"There are some people who seem to be polite on the surface, but in fact they don't know how to respect the old and love the young. Who here is not his elder, but he is also embarrassed to sit in front of the elders?"

Speaking of this, Hu Yanzhuo chuckled.

"Hehe, I'm a big old man, I've ridden a horse all my life but I've never read a book, and I didn't find two books by Da Chu until recently, but I don't know if the two words I just learned are used correctly. ”

The wolf kings present naturally knew who Hu Yanzhuo was talking about, but Helian Zejun, who was shaking the folding fan in his hand, had no intention of getting up and giving up his seat because of this.

He didn't even bother to turn his head, but spoke directly.

"Uncle Huyan said with a smile, although I have always been very arrogant, but the matter of respecting the elders is still clear to the boy, if the boy only represents a person today, I will definitely sit in the last seat with great interest, and let the uncles and uncles sit in front of me. But..."

Helian Zejun paused at this point, and then continued in an accentuated tone.

"What I represent today is not myself, but our entire Helian family! It is my father Helian Changzhi! So Uncle Huyan doesn't have to use those words to press me!"

After speaking this, Helian Zejun suddenly slowed down his tone again, so that outsiders couldn't feel whether he was happy or angry.

"Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to damage the face of my Helian family, but if Uncle Huyan is said to be an uncle and has no uncle, it will be the sin of the little nephew. ”

Hu Yanzhuo, who originally wanted to take advantage of his words, didn't expect that he was holding back his anger, as if he, an elder, was deliberately competing with his nephew.

"Hmph, sharp-tongued boy, you're really..."

Hu Yanzhuo originally wanted to speak to save some face, otherwise he would have lost his face today, but just when he just spoke, Yelu Hongbin, who had not appeared, walked out from behind the screen.

"Okay, Hu Yanzhuo, there is no distinction between elders and juniors here today, if you want to sit in the second position, you can grab it back by yourself next year. ”

Seeing Yelu Hongbin appear, all the wolf kings, including Tuoba Shence, all stood up and saluted, although they were separated from each other by the wolf king and the royal court, but nominally Yelu Hongbin was still the king of all of them.

Hearing Yelu Hongbin's words, Hu Yanzhuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up, and seeing that Hu Yanzhuo had no intention of speaking, Yelu Hongbin spoke.

"Presumably everyone has already guessed what I summoned you for, it is true that the strength of our grassland is stronger than that of Da Chu, but we have always been scattered and fighting separately, and if we want to really enter Da Chu, we must gather all of our forces together!"

Because of Yelu Hongbin's words, he was holding back his breath and interrupted his words.

"King, we all know what you are talking about, in my opinion, you don't have to continue to waste your tongue, let's talk about your plans first!"

Yelu Hongbin didn't feel angry when his speech was interrupted, and said with a smile on his face.

"In this way, I won't waste any time, if we want to really wrestle with Da Chu, we must have our own regime and country, and the purpose of my invitation to you is to ask you what you think about the founding of the country!"

The faces of the wolf kings did not change, and it seemed that they all knew about the founding of the country. However, although they all have their own little abacus in their hearts, no one is in a hurry to jump out and be the first bird at this time.

"Rest assured, wolf kings, the establishment of power is not to seek to seize the power in your hands, you are only nominally respecting me as the master, and I can assure you that your power will not only not be reduced, but will be increased a lot. ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Yelu Hongbin knew that they didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he hesitated and spoke.

"There are thousands of tribes large and small on our grassland, if we can integrate them all, it is not a lie that we have millions of iron cavalry on the grassland! If that time comes, isn't it as simple as eating and drinking water for us to break through the border passes of Dachu? I can make a promise to you here, when the tribes in the respective territories of the wolf kings will be handed over to you to integrate, and the army recruited will also be put into your own hands, and the royal court will definitely not commit any crimes!"

After waiting for a long time and finally waiting for the meat, all the wolf kings unconsciously had a smile on their faces, but this is only the most basic requirement for them, the tribes in their territory are their personal belongings, and now it is just an opportunity to merge with the bright light.

"My lord, the establishment of political power you mentioned is indeed a good thing for the entire grassland, but after we establish political power, there should also be a Kyoto!

It was Murong Wangbo of the Murong family who spoke, and after years of cultivation, this old thing had begun to have the taste of those old foxes in Dachu.

"Murong Wolf King doesn't have to worry, Kyoto will naturally not be placed on the side of my royal court, we can choose a new address, and then all of us will jointly supervise it, and then, that new city will be our Kyoto!"

With Murong Wangbo, the first bird, the others immediately settled down, and as soon as Yelu Hongbin's words fell, Hu Yanzhuo spoke immediately.

"Great King, as you just said, the small tribes in our respective territories are integrated by ourselves, but that was originally the meat in our mouths, and now it is nothing more than being able to eat it in our mouths, which should not be a great benefit to us. ”

Yelu Hongbin had already prepared, the words just now were just the scene words he used to open the situation, and the latter were the root of these wolf kings' hearts.

"Huyan Wolf King, we have all done our part as the king, then naturally we can't be small-minded, the intrigue between us over the years is not to dislike the grassland is too small and not enough to share, but have you ever thought about how big Chu is! If you add the Southern Tang Dynasty to the south of Great Chu, such a huge world, can't you satisfy the selfishness of our people? When the time comes, if you want to go to Dachu to enjoy the mountains and rivers, you will get the fiefdom to Dachu, and if you want to stay on the grassland to graze horses and sheep, this prairie is all yours! These things still can't touch your hearts? ”

Helian Zejun, who was present for his father, spoke for the first time.

"The king, you are a typical painting cake to satisfy your hunger, and you have not even written a word about establishing a political power, so you want to defeat the Great Chu and the Southern Tang Dynasty? In my opinion, the king should come up with something practical. ”

Yelu Hongbin was not surprised by this, especially when these words came out of the mouth of Helian Zejun.

"It's... Helian Zejun, you also know that the things that can be divided in the grassland have long been divided by us, and now there is nothing else to divide except for Dachu, otherwise I will exempt you from the annual payment?"

Hearing this condition, the rest of the wolf kings were all dazzled, but Helian, who brought up the topic, objected.

"Your Majesty, this is not necessary, no matter whether we establish a regime in the end or not, you are our king, and only the annual offering can show our respect. ”

Hearing Helian Zejun's refusal, the eyes of those wolf kings that were originally lit up dimmed suddenly, but no one stood up to oppose Helian Zejun's statement.

It was the topic that Helian Zejun brought up just now, if he agreed just now, even if Yelu Hongbin didn't want to do it in his heart, he could only go downstairs on the steps to avoid their annual confession. After all, the words are released by themselves.

And if this situation really happens, for the rest of the wolf kings except for the Helian family, it will be a big bargain, anyway, Yelu Hongbin can't hate them.

"Then since Helian's nephew doesn't agree to this method, I can't think of anything else that I can get my hands on, uncle. ”

It seems that Yelu Hongbin is still very satisfied with the acquaintance of the Helian kid in front of him, and even the name is affectionately added with the word nephew.

For Yelu Hongbin's kindness, Helian Zejun accepted it very calmly, and he did not call Yelu Hongbin the king again.

"Uncle Yelu, the little nephew naturally knows your difficulties, there are not many people on the grassland who can get their hands on it, but after the old things are divided, isn't it a new one that will come immediately, Uncle Yelu, what do you think?"

Something new! Something other than the regime that is about to be established.

Although Yelu Hongbin was extremely reluctant to take out this cake and share it, he also knew that this was also one of the most important bargaining chips for those wolf kings to pay wholeheartedly for the new dynasty.

"Listening to what Helian said about it, won't it be clear to me as an uncle! You can rest assured, the established regime will need at least a few hundred officials from top to bottom, and at that time, we will be able to assign some positions to each tribe according to a certain proportion. Moreover, all of you here will no longer be the wolf king, but according to the words of Da Chu, all of them will be crowned princes! Among them, the three families of Tuoba, Helian, and Huyan can be crowned as kings side by side! As for those of all kinds..."

Uncle is enough to have such a mind, and the little nephew also believes that Uncle can level a bowl of water. Now the general context of the dynasty has been sorted out, but our grassland still does not have a country name of its own! As for the question of this country name, I think Uncle Yelu has been thinking hard about this matter, so he has naturally been prepared for a long time. ”

Speaking of now, the previous wolf kings have no opinions, so even if this matter is finalized, although Yelu Hongbin knows that today's matter will be successful, but when success is in front of him at this time, he is still a little excited.

"Regarding the name of the country, according to the historical records of our grassland and the legends passed down by word of mouth, the first tribe that appeared on the grassland was called Zhou Rui's clan, and now that our grassland wants to establish its first regime, then it is natural to use the name of this first tribe to name our country name!

The position where Yelu Hongbin was sitting was facing the east, and he looked in the direction of Da Chu and said.

"Country name! Northern Zhou!"
