Chapter 380: The Khitan Situation
"Xianggong, has this person offended you, why do you want to kill him?" The demon poked out a head and glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Shenwu King Yeluzhen?"
Zong Xin said: "No, no, no, he is not Yeluzhen but Yeluzhen's eldest brother Yeluhong. It is estimated that the current Yelu really does not dare to Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion. As long as Yeluzhen is not there, those princes are afraid that they will fight to the ground, and now that the forces of Daliao are also splitting, Yeluzhen can only reluctantly integrate these people temporarily, and it won't last long. ”
Yeluhong admired Zongxin's exhaustive strategy, and he didn't even know about this kind of thing, this is absolutely confidential, and Yeluhong only knew it after listening to Yeluzhen.
"Oh~ It turned out to be Yeluhong. Xianggong, why don't you like him, just because he looks like Yeluzhen?"
Zong Xin shook his head and said: "This person kidnapped me and almost killed me, can I like him?" Although Yeluzhen is powerful, he is polite every time he sees me, although his eyes are full of intent to kill me, but Yeluzhen has never made a move, but this person has done it, and he almost succeeded. ”
"Who dares to kill my father-in-law, my mother will fight with you. When Dugu Xingyue heard this, he immediately raised his sword and rushed out, and Zong Xin immediately stopped him, after all, Yeluhong's martial arts are not high, and it is estimated that he will die under the sword if he can't catch Dugu Xingyue's ten moves. This time I came to quell the Khitan civil strife, not to look for trouble.
"Sister Xingyue, don't be impulsive, I also beat him to a serious injury at that time. Didn't I mention this to you? That was the first time I saw the White Jade Fairy. "Zong Xin's explanation can't add fuel to the fire, as long as the white jade demon and Dugu Xingyue are mentioned, they will be angry, and they really want to find an unlucky egg to vent. But...... Forget it today, after all, this person is the brother of Shenwu King Yelu Zhen, and if he is killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain.
Dugu Xingyue pointed a sword at Yeluhong and said, "Old man, be careful with me, if you dare to hurt my husband again, the old lady will cut off your flesh piece by piece and feed it to the dog." ”
Yeluhong is the prince of Khitan, and he is the brother of Yeluzhen, the king of Shenwu, even several princes have to be polite when they see him, and they can't imagine that they will not dare to fight back when they are scolded by a woman today.
Yilu Zhen's martial arts are indeed not qualified to fight back, and Dugu Xingyue can kill him with his eyes closed. But in terms of identity, Yeluhong is no one in Daliao who dares to mess with him, and it is really unpleasant to suffer this kind of wretchedness, but Yeluhong still has a smile on his face, and there is no trace of anger on the surface.
The demon whispered: "Xianggong, how much does this old guy owe you? ”
"I don't owe money, because he asked me to quell the Khitan civil strife, so I don't dare to be upset in the slightest. Zong Xin said: "Lord Yelu, since you are the guide, let's get in the car directly, let's go to Mozhou and chat while drinking." But the ugly words of the poor monk can be said ahead, I still don't like you, don't try to get close to me. ”
"I know......" Yeluhong said, "Master, please." ”
Yeluhong got into the car and sat next to Zongxin, who personally drove the car forward. At the front of the car were four strong horses, in fact, there were originally eight, and Xiaobai suddenly wanted to have a supper last night, so there were only four left today. Originally, the wolves hadn't eaten enough, but Xiaobai felt that they should still leave a few horses for Zong Xin to pull the cart, otherwise they would have to pull the cart.
This kind of thing is not a few, often Xiaobai invites supper, and the next day all the horses bought by Zong Xin went into the belly of the nineteen sitting wolves, and in desperation, he randomly found two sitting wolves to pull the cart. Later, the wolves learned to be smart, and no matter how they ate, they had to leave two horse-drawn carts, after all, they were proud wolves, and they didn't mind having a person on their backs, but they didn't want to pull the cart.
In the car, Yeluhong first introduced the situation of the Liao State to Zongxin, the Great Liao was dominated by the Khitan people, but the Khitan ancestors continued to march south, so that the land became larger and larger, and the original Kyoto was closer and closer to the border, so Kyoto was re-established, from one Kyoto to three Kyotos.
Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion. Only Kamikyo is Kyoto, and Chusan Tokyo is the capital of Kyoto. Sanjing is a cultural center but not a political center, because the Khitan is mostly nomadic people, and the political center has become dissociated, and the national policy is decided where the emperor is.
But now that Yerod is dead, before the succession to the throne is announced, this has also led to a huge loophole in the national policy, and everyone does not know what to do. The heirs all want to get this position, and they are all eligible to succeed to the throne.
After Shi Jingjiao divided the sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan, the politics of the Khitan became more complicated. It has changed from three capitals to five capitals, and one country, two systems has been implemented. This is the first person in history to put forward the idea of one country, two systems, Yelu Deguang is open-minded, wise and brave, and knows how to take care of the overall situation, if it were not for Zongxin to lead him to the bait and die in the Central Plains, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be able to win the world.
To the north of the sixteenth week of Youyun, the Khitan laws were enforced. Youyun 16 weeks to keep changing, the implementation of the Central Plains law, this also led to friction between the Khitan people and the Central Plains, but it is precisely because of friction that there will be integration, now the Central Plains and Khitan culture in the 16th week of Youyun has been very blurred, and it is not even possible to see whether the other party is the Central Plains or the Khitans.
In the sixteenth week of Youyun, more Nanjing Xijin Mansion and Xijing Datong Mansion were established. Nanjing is located in Youzhou, north of Mozhou. Xijing Datong Mansion is north of Xinzhou, almost bordering. But because it was cut off by the Wutai Mountains, the Khitan could not send troops from Xijing.
The southern courtyard and the northern courtyard were also established, and the king of the southern courtyard was in charge of all the affairs of the entire Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, because the king of the Southern Courtyard was also a Khitan relationship, so there was still a custom of beating grass valleys in the sixteen states of Youyun. The reason why such a custom exists is entirely because the king of the Southern Courtyard hopes that the sixteen states of Youyun can develop better.
Many people may have doubts, but in fact, the king of the Khitan South Courtyard is very smart, a small village, and dozens of families live a farming life year after year...... What's the point? It is better to drive these people into the big cities and let them work hard to earn a living, so that the rural population can be reduced as much as possible and the urban population can be increased.
Fighting the grass valley is the strategy of the king of the southern courtyard, so that these people can't live in the small village, they either flee back to Cangzhou, or go to the big city, because no one will fight the grass valley in the big city.
Polarization was formed in an instant, in the sixteen states of Youyun, the people in the big cities lived very richly, and the people in the small villages could hardly survive, but there were some dead brains who wanted to guard the ancestral land and refused to leave.
After years of purging, there are very few such people. Nowadays, most of the population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is concentrated near the city, and life is far better than that of the people of the Central Plains. Because of the implementation of one country, two systems, the economy and culture of the 16 states of Youyun have hardly been affected, and they have developed better than Cangzhou.
Zong Xin and his entourage saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. At this time, they really came into contact with Yelu Deguang's eloquence for the first time, no wonder Yelu Zhen almost wanted to fight for his life after Yelu Deguang's death, killing Zongxin to avenge him.
After the death of Yelu Deguang, the influence of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun was very small, but the influence of the territory north of the Khitan was very large. Because there are too many people who want to inherit the throne, most of them begin to split, if the Khitan is really divided, the Central Plains will definitely send troops to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, this result is unbearable for the Khitan, because the taxes of the sixteen states of Youyun have almost become the largest income in the Khitan country, and if the sixteen states of Youyun are lost, the Khitan emperor will begin to become poor.
The identity of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is almost a colony, and the Khitan vigorously develops it in order to squeeze more taxes on it, which is also mutually beneficial. What's more, now the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were originally the boundaries of the Khitan territory, and it has always been a national policy to develop southward, so it is impossible for the Khitan to give up this piece of fat.
The Khitan people knew very well that the further south they went, the richer the land became, and the more developed the economy became. As long as they have enough money, they can keep going south.
Yelu Deguang made a big mistake and died in the Central Plains before his ambition was rewarded. This is the pain of the whole Khitan, but now the Khitan is very eager for this person who killed their emperor to come to the Khitan, the reason is very simple, because the news announced by Yeluzhen is that the emperor committed suicide, and Master Zongxin preserved the body and returned it to King Shenwu, otherwise the Khitan Emperor will have no bones, and this news also saves the face of the Khitan, and their emperor did not escape from the battle, but died in a glorious battle.
According to King Shenwu, Yelu Deguang was only by Zongxin's side before he died, and many people speculated whether Yelu Deguang would tell Zongxin the name of the heir to the throne. Therefore, the entire Khitan is very eager for the arrival of Zongxin, and only when this enlightened monk announces who the heir to the throne is, can the Khitan avoid the end of the split.
In fact, at least 99% of the Khitan people know one thing, Yelu Deguang should have inherited the throne after his death, after all, he was the eldest son, and Yelu Jing's ability is certain. Because of its internal affairs and business development, Yelu Jing's ability is even higher than that of the former emperor Yelu Deguang.
But there are some people who pretend to be confused, and compete for the throne in the name of Yerod Guang who has not announced an heir. There are some people in the world who don't want to be emperors, but these people are wonderful, most people have his dream of being an emperor, and Yelu Deguang's sons are of course no exception.
As the prince of Yelu Deguang, there is a very strong force behind any person, and the powerless and powerless have long been assassinated, and if you want to mix in the court, you must join a faction, and the fighting between the factions has never stopped. But this is also the emperor's technique, so that the ministers can fight among themselves, and the balance between several forces can be stabilized.
Just like back then, Liu Chengyou made the strength between Guo Wei and Li Shouzhen quite a reason, but because Guo Tong was captured, this balance was broken, and as long as the balance was broken, it would directly threaten the emperor's life.
