Chapter 65: The Four Realms (1)
Soldiers built the city, naturally much faster than ordinary people, not long after the funeral ceremony of Yelu Abaoji, the Xilou City, which was destroyed by the Huangtou and Tatar departments, was initially repaired. The main thing is that the official office has been completely built.
Li Ye met Yueliduo here.
The Khitan army was defeated by the Tang army, although Yelu Abaoji took the initiative to surrender and self-discipline in order to give the Khitan soldiers a way to survive, but in the eyes of many Khitans, he died in the hands of Li Ye.
As Yelu Abaoji's woman, Yueliduo should hate Li Ye and take revenge as her own responsibility.
For these considerations, Li Ye didn't want to see Yue Liduo, and in addition, out of the need for faith, he had no intention of killing the other party. is just a grassland woman, no matter how shrewd and capable she is, she will not have a chance to grow up in front of the Datang garrison and the elite civil officials of the Datang Dynasty.
But King Qi said more than once that Yueliduo was kind-hearted and innocent in nature, and he was quite grateful to Li Ye for rescuing the Khitan captives in Xilou from the hands of the Huangtou and Tatar departments, and now he has no hatred for the Tang Dynasty, which is worth using.
Li Ye naturally knows that these days, King Qi and Yue Liduo spend a lot of time together. Although the two have different positions, the women who are both kings have similar moods and experiences, and King Qi's personality is quite charming, and now they are commensurate with the Yueliduo sisters and get along very well.
Of course, King Qi would not do anything without a purpose.
The reason why she is willing to spend time with Yue Liduo is just to influence the other party through herself. In the face of great changes, people's hearts will always be very fragile, and it is also the time when emotions fluctuate the most, and temperament and thoughts are most prone to change.
King Qi "took advantage of the weakness" at this time, which was to avoid thinking too much about the hatred between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty in the month, and to guide the other party to be grateful to Li Ye for his kindness in rescuing the Khitan captives, to respect Li Ye's commitment to Yelu Baoji, and to understand the strategy that the Tang Dynasty would inevitably benefit the people of the grassland.
In these days, King Qi has instilled in Yue Liduo that Li Ye and Yelu Abaoji are the biggest heroes in the world, although the two have different identities and positions, they recognize each other, and the concept of heroes cherishing heroes.
She also told Yue Liduo that the ultimate goal of Li Ye and Yelu Abaoji fighting and killing countless people in their lives is actually to benefit the people.
In short, King Qi is brainwashing Yueliduo.
Now King Qi thinks that the brainwashing work is quite effective, and Li Ye does not disapprove of her conscientious work - for the sake of Li Ye and the Tang Dynasty, King Qi is now so active and enthusiastic about running errands, he must be encouraged.
So, Li Ye decided to meet Yueliduo once to assess the feasibility of letting the other party be the nominal leader of the Khitans.
The moon in front of him is much better, although there is still unconcealed sorrow in his eyes, but his words and deeds are not fierce and extreme, whether it is saluting or speaking, he is decent, and he looks a little fresh.
Li Ye motioned for the other party to take a seat, groaned slightly, and decided to abandon those pretending to be close greetings, so he asked bluntly: "In your heart, what should a grassland hero look like and what should he do?"
Yue Liduo showed a look of astonishment, obviously surprised by this question, and then in her mind, the appearance of Yelu Abaoji naturally appeared, "The hero of the grassland should ride his horse and whip, be invincible, conquer all tribes, and be worshiped and supported by tens of millions of people." ”
Li Ye was noncommittal, "And then what?"
"And then?" Yue Liduo was stunned again.
As a typical prairie woman, what she just said is that she is interested in her heart
All the understanding of the male, there is no then.
But Li Ye was asking.
Yue Liduo lowered her head, first recalled what Yelu Abaoji had done before, what she had said to her, and then recalled this war, especially the scene where the Yellow Head and the Tatars attacked the West Tower, burned and looted, and they were whipped and reduced to slavery.
The sorrow came from the moon, his eyes were full of tears, and his voice was dry: "Hero, you should let your people be well fed and clothed, not afraid of the cold winter, not afraid of the disaster year. It is also necessary to be able to protect them from the bullying and oppression of others, so that the children can grow up well, and the elderly can not starve to death......"
There was a smile in Li Ye's eyes.
He said: "Do you think the Khitan can do this on their own now?"
Yueliduo shook her head sadly. The current Khitan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and even tribes like the Yellow Head and Tatar can bully them, so you can imagine how much suffering there will be in the future.
As long as the thoughts of those people who fled in panic under the hooves of the enemy in blood and fire, but were still killed and trampled, Yueliduo's tears could not be stopped.
Li Ye was very satisfied with Yue Liduo's reaction, and he asked, "If you are asked to be the hero of the Khitan, are you willing to dedicate your life so that they can live and work in peace and contentment?"
Yue Liduo raised her head and said confusedly: "I, how can I do it, ...... can I do it?"
Li Ye said: "With the help of Datang, you can do it." ”
Yue Liduo's bright eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Li Ye would say that. It is a power and gift that only gods have. Isn't Datang an enemy of the Khitan, how can it be possible to help the Khitan?
"King An is really willing to help the Khitan?" Yue Liduo stood up in surprise.
Li Ye smiled faintly, "If you are willing to be this hero, Lone can help you." ”
Yue Liduo didn't think about it, so he nodded hurriedly: "I do!"
Li Ye glanced at her a few times, but did not speak.
Yue Liduo couldn't help but be a little flustered and a little disappointed, thinking that Li Ye was just teasing her.
When it was over, Li Ye didn't say much, and waved his hand, "Go down." ”
Yue Liduo didn't know why, so she could only turn around with her head drooping, and her steps were chaotic, showing the confusion in her heart.
When she was about to go out, Li Ye suddenly said: "Yue Liduo, you have already seen what war is like." If you don't want war, you have to answer for what you just said. ”
Yue Liduo turned around, but saw that Li Ye didn't mean to say more to her, so she could only leave with an uneasy stomach.
Not long after she went out, King Qi walked in, sat down on the seat where Yue Liduo had just been, leaned over and asked Li Ye, "How is it, can this little girl be used?"
Li Ye did not answer this question directly, but got up and left his seat, motioning for King Qi to go out with him.
The two of them took off from the front of the official office and went straight to 3,000 feet.
When the west building was only the size of a chess piece, and the magnificent grassland was at his feet, Li Ye waved his long sleeves, crossed the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his field of vision, and said to King Qi: "The king governs the country and puts aside the cumbersome affairs, but mainly does two things: herdsmen and killing."
"The reason why herdsmen are 'herdsmen' shows that in the eyes of the king, there is no essential difference between ruling over the people and grazing cattle and sheep. All major national policies are for the cattle and sheep to thrive and make them fat and strong, so that they can get wool from them and harvest more wealth.
"The more sheep and cattle there are, the more wealth you have, the stronger your tribe will be, and the more warriors you can support
, can make the warrior have better armor and ordnance, the king's strength will be stronger, he can enjoy glory and wealth, and he can also stabilize his position and conquer the Quartet.
"And killing is to eliminate the black sheep, let those thieves who covet beef and wool die, and let those negative factors that affect the fat and reproduction of cattle and sheep no longer exist.
In other words, cattle and sheep belong only to the king, and whoever robs them will hinder their growth and destroy the stable order of the king's grazing, whether they are sheep or wolves, no matter how great or small their harm is, as long as it affects the king's wealth harvest, they will all be wiped out!
This is the essence of the feudal dynasty's reign and the king's control of the world. ”
King Qi was a little stunned.
She didn't expect that the truth of governing the country could be expounded from such an angle.
Li Ye pointed to the grassland under his feet and continued: "Although the Khitan was defeated, there must be thieves in the country who are not willing to fall from the clouds and fall into the mud. They will want to use the guise of restoring the glory of the Khitan, shouting the banner of revenge for the heroes, competing for the cattle and sheep of the Tang Dynasty, and reshaping their wealth, status, and power.
"There will definitely be such people, not only in the Khitan, but also in other tribes. And what I'm going to do is kill them all.
"But now, because of the fiasco just now, such Khitans must be hidden, and there may be different places. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to find them all out.
"I must lure the snake out of the hole. And the moon is the bait that lures the snake out of the hole. She is a woman of Yelu Abaoji, and she naturally has appeal, whether she has a heart or not, she may be used by ill-intentioned people.
"If Yueliduo really has a heart for the people and obeys the Tang Dynasty, she will naturally stand on my side in the process of being a hero and cut off these emerging scourges for me, and I can also save a lot of worry, but if she has a grudge and wants to rebel, then when she gathers those black sheep and the goal is obvious, I can also destroy them together with my backhand.
"Therefore, Yueliduo is indeed the right person for the nominal new leader of the Khitan. ”
After listening to Li Ye's words, King Qi didn't know what to say for a while.
After a long time, she shook her head and sighed, "It's really dark." ”
Seeing that she wanted to speak again, Li Ye added with a smile: "It's still ugly and vicious." ”
King Qi spread his hands and signaled that he didn't want to say this, Li Ye admitted it himself.
She said: "I can see it once again, I am also suitable to be a king on the battlefield, just charge into battle, and the intrigues will not be mixed." It's better for you to do these countries' big policies, power oppression, and strategic struggles. ”
Li Ye was very conscious, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Someone has to do the dirty work, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
For the sake of this dynasty, Mo said that let him go to the trick of trickery, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he will break through without blinking an eye. If you don't have the courage to be unafraid of people's words and move forward, then what kind of prosperity will you seek!
King Qi patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said with relief: "You are a real hero, I appreciate you! Thank you for sheltering me from the wind and rain, so that I can be a simple general." ”
Li Ye smiled and arched his hands: "Each other." ”
At this point, the Khitan Kingdom has completely become a thing of the past, under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty civil officials and garrisons, the surviving Khitan people have been redivided, some will return to the original tribe, and some will go to their new homeland - this war of countless dead people has given the grassland a lot more living space.
A new order was established on this bloody land, which belonged to Li Ye and belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
