Chapter 275: Quelling the Chaos and Assassinating the People (5) The Heavy Burden

PS: (Today, I continue to thank the book friend "The Group is Round" for the reward!, my work "Tianlong Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 275 Peaceful Chaos and the Assassination of the People (5) The Heavy Burden", http:///Book/3058817.aspx)

Not long after, in order to appease the two big celebrities around the emperor, the gifts sent by the civil and military officials came unexpectedly, so much that the two mansions were stuffed.

Moreover, Yelu Hongji saw that Ah Zi was intimate with Dongfang Undefeated, and guessed that she should be his relative or friend, so he wanted to make her the county lord, but Dongfang Undefeated politely refused on the grounds that she "did not make an inch of merit" and "did not have merit without success".

For the sake of Ah Zhu's affection, Dongfang Undefeated still let Ah Zi live in a side hall of his Qin Palace, and after taking care of the military affairs in front of him, he tried to send her back to Duan Zhengchun's side.

After the reward was over, Xiao Feng went to the Southern Courtyard to inspect things, and Dongfang Undefeated entered the Generalissimo's Mansion to deal with the military affairs of the Great Liao.

I heard that the two important positions of the king of the southern court of the Liao State and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses have recently been replaced by new people, and the patriarchs of dozens of tribes in the Liao State have come to see one by one.

It was followed by the officers of the Emperor's Great Tent Leather Room Army, the Queen's Shan Army Officers, and the officers of Hongning Palace, Changning Palace, Yongxing Palace, Jiqing Palace, Yanchang Palace and other palace guards came to see it.

There were 59 vassal states of the Liao State, including Tuyuhun, Turkic, Dangxiang, Shatuo, Persia, Dashi, Uighur, Tubo, Gaochang, Goryeo, Khotan, Dunhuang, and so on. The prestige extends thousands of miles away.

There were envoys from various countries in Beijing, and they learned that Xiao Feng and Dongfang were undefeated new officials in office and held heavy power in the military state. They all came to give away rare weapons to play with and please the knot.

Dongfang Undefeated and Xiao Feng meet with guests every day, meet with subordinates, and what they see in their eyes is full of gold and silver treasures, and what they hear in their ears is nothing more than flattery and praise. I can't help but get bored.

On this day, the two finally found time to drink together, and during the banquet, Dongfang Undefeated saw that Xiao Feng was unhappy, so he asked, "Brother Xiao." It seems that you are not very happy in your heart, what is the reason, you might as well say it and listen to it, maybe the little brother can help you think of a way. ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "Oops. Oriental Brothers. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, your brother and I don't like to play with jewelry all my life, and I hate to listen to those flattering words. It's been a good two days, and the things I hate the most have been pouring in on me, drowning me. You say, what should I do?"

When Dongfang Undefeated heard this, he laughed and said, "Haha, what should I do." It turns out that this is the thing! Things that others can't ask for, but when it comes to you, second brother, it's not just worthless. On the contrary, it stinks, it smells strange, it's strange!"

Xiao Feng heard her say this, took a sip of wine, and muttered: "Alas, I know that if I say it, I will be laughed at by you, hum." ”

Dongfang Undefeated hurriedly said: "Hey, brother, I don't have a joke about you, brother." Actually, my little brother also hates gold, silver, jewelry, and flattery, so I've dealt with these two things before, do you want me to deal with them for you?"

Xiao Feng was puzzled at first: "Oh, brother, do you have any way to deal with these things?" Without waiting for Dongfang to be undefeated in replying, Xiao Feng waved his hand and continued: "Oh, no matter what method you use, anyway, those things in my house are at your disposal, you can do it yourself!"

Dongfang Undefeated hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you Brother Xiao for your trust, I will go to your house to cook." ”

Next, Dongfang Undefeated digested the gifts piled up in Xiao Feng's mansion in three ways:

First, the cross-gift is to send the gold and silver sent by the owner to the west in the name of Xiao Feng, and the jewelry sent by the west to the east in the name of Xiao Feng, so as to increase the popularity of Xiao Feng, who has just arrived and has no foundation;

second, as the pension of the dead in the previous counterinsurgency war and the decoction and medicine expenses of the wounded, in the name of Xiao Feng, it was distributed to the corresponding portal;

Third, as the severance pay for the dependents of the former king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Nerugu, let the princesses and concubines of those big houses take the money and go back where they came from.

As for the rhetoric, Dongfang Undefeated adopted the method of fighting poison with poison, that is, in the name of Xiao Feng, he wrote letters to his subordinate officials and envoys from various countries, and the words used in the letter were all flattering words that made people embarrassed.

After dealing with these chores, Dongfang Undefeated began to focus on the post-war reconstruction of the Liao State, and Xiao Feng was the same.

The two of them had been busy for more than a month, and suddenly one day, Yelu Hongji summoned them in the palace palace.

When the three of them met, they first saluted the monarch and ministers, and then Yelu Hongji said: "Two brothers, your position, one is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the other is the king of the Southern Courtyard. ”

Dongfang Undefeated and Xiao Feng heard this, and immediately said in unison: "Protecting the family and defending the country, where the duty lies, never give up." ”

Hong Ji smiled: "The loyalty of the two, my brother knows it in his heart. However, our country has experienced a new catastrophe and must recuperate. The Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty is now in power, she is old and serious, and appoints Sima Guang and other stable ministers. But if there are any internal changes in the Southern Dynasty, then Zhao Xu'er will go north with troops and invade the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Then he turned his head and told Xiao Feng: "Although the elder brother does not want to be separated from you, for the safety of our territory, you should lead the troops south as soon as possible and garrison Nanjing!"

Xiao Feng took the order and said: "Brother obey the order!" thought to himself: "It is the responsibility of the Da Liao man to protect the family and defend the country, and there is nothing wrong with the eldest brother letting me go this time." ”

Emperor Liao added later: "When our national strength is restored, we will take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and dominate the world." ”

As he spoke, he turned to the east to be undefeated, and continued: "Third brother, when the time comes, I will have to rely on you to show your magic powers and make immortal achievements." When the eight wildernesses are calmed down and the four seas return to one, I will make you the lord of the Han people in the world. ”

When Xiao Feng and Dongfang Undefeated heard this, they all felt a pang in their hearts, and secretly thought: "It seems that the eldest brother is the same as the imperial uncle or the former king of Chu in his bones, and he does not hesitate to let the people of the world fall into misery for the sake of his own fame and great cause." ”

But they all know that the king has a golden mouth and jade teeth, and he must not refuse his words to his face.

After the two glanced at each other, they already had a plan in their hearts: "But after all, he is our sworn brother, now we have to think of a way to prevaricate him first, and then find an opportunity to lure him in the future, so that he can dispel the idea of invading the Song Kingdom." ”

So Dongfang Undefeated Chaoyelu Hongji handed over his hand and reported: "The younger brother thanks Your Majesty for your love, but the younger brother does not have much magical power, nor does he want to be the co-master of the Han people in the world." Moreover, the southern expedition was extremely costly, and the top priority at the moment was to restore our country's economic strength quickly, and other matters will only be discussed later. ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and smiled: "Haha, the third brother is still thoughtful, and the eldest brother thinks so too." Although you are the head of the Great Liao military attachΓ©, my brother and I have long known that you are both civil and military, and you can manage both military affairs and civil affairs. In the future, the heavy burden of presiding over the post-war recovery and reconstruction of our Great Liao will be handed over to you. Don't let your big brother down!"

Dongfang was undefeated and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! The younger brother will definitely live up to his mission!" but he thought in his heart: "As long as you don't let me kill innocents indiscriminately, I will not be afraid to bear any burden." (To be continued......)
