Born in sorrow, died in peace. This is a warning that Mencius taught to future generations.

This sentence is too subtle for both individuals and nations, a person has a sense of distress, in order to continue to progress, and when he is content with the status quo and greedy for pleasure, then he is not far from danger.

The same is true for a nation or a country.

The Song Dynasty was rich in products, and the average living standard of the Song people was relatively high, with the affluence of life, more and more people began to covet pleasure, forgot the dangers around them, and lost their fighting spirit in the drunken gold fan.

The Khitan people live in the northern grasslands with poor geographical and climatic conditions, and in order to survive, they have finally formed a strong nation and country after several generations of continuous efforts.

But as they possessed the wealth and resources they had exploited from other peoples, they also began to degenerate. They enjoy a comfortable way of life, but they also lose the tenacious character of the nation that has been honed for hundreds of years.

Sister Ghost is right, the change of imperial power would have caused some people to have the desire to compete for power and profit, and there will inevitably be some struggles within the Khitans.

But if they are given a greater benefit and a reason, they will reunite and fight for those interests with a fighting spirit.

Even in later generations, the Chinese people are still like this, the living conditions are getting better and better, and people are beginning to constantly pursue food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the relationship between people has become more and more alienated and indifferent.

Only when the country and the nation encounter a crisis can they be united again and have a fighting spirit again.

And what Sister Ghost said was what Yang Huairen was afraid of. Although if Song Liao really fought, it was likely that both would lose.

"Are you really willing to threaten me with such a thing? Do you think Jerodawatai would be so adventurous? ”

The ghost sister replied, "If you think it's a threat, I don't have anything to say." As for whether my father will take the risk, I believe he will listen to me, or he would not be where he is today. ”

Yang Huairen was shocked again. Could it be that all of this was the idea that the ghost sister gave to Yelu Bawotai?

Then this woman is really terrible. So don't underestimate women, if it weren't for the ancient concept of male superiority and inferiority that restricted women's thoughts and behaviors, I'm afraid that women would be no worse than men at all.

Sometimes, in a sense, they control men, using their own strengths, or their superior intelligence.

Yang Huairen said, "Aren't you afraid that I will spread what you just said?" ”

Sister Ghost smiled and shook her head, "Like those rumors that spread Yelu Yanxi?" ”

Yang Huairen was convinced, "You already knew? ”

Sister Ghost said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing, Cui Qing was rescued by our blue shirts." ”

When Yang Huairen heard Cui Qing's name, he felt a cold sweat immediately oozing from the back of his spine. Yes, Yang Huairen almost forgot that Cui Qing was rescued by the Blue Shirt Army.

Now it seems that the Blue Shirts at that time were no longer the original Blue Shirts, but the Blue Shirts of Yelu Bawotai.

"Do you know Cui Qing's original identity?"

"That's nature. At the beginning, I also sympathized with him, a man who was willing to give up everything for a woman, and deserved my help.

But it only later did I think that since I could use it, I should not give up anyone who might be used, and the power behind him. ”

Yang Huairen had no choice but to sigh, "I was so bitter to be deceived by you." ”

And what he is more worried about is that the ghost sister knows more things than he imagined, since she knows that Cui Qing is an internal guard, then now Cui Qing is already the deputy hall master of the North Wind Hall of the Fengshen Wei, I don't know if the ghost sister knows.

There are also Wang Zhan and Wanyuan Inn, if Sister Ghost knows all this, then Yang Huairen's entire Fengshenwei in Liao Kingdom has been exposed to Sister Ghost's sight, which is too dangerous.

He tentatively asked, "Do you still know about the internal guards?" ”

Sister Ghost said lightly, "I know something, the spy organization established by the Empress Dowager Gao of the Song Dynasty. Originally, the internal guard was supposed to serve her ambition, but then she didn't succeed, so this internal guard organization seems to be nothing more than that.

Later, the Empress Dowager Gao passed away, and I heard that the internal guards were dispersed, but there are a few elites, who should have been taken over by you, as for your purpose, I think, it should be to satisfy your ambitions. ”

From her expression, Yang Huairen felt that she was not lying, since she didn't know about Fengshenwei, and when the previous internal guard organization was still there, but after being taken over by Yang Huairen, Yang Huairen was a little relieved.

"Ambition? What ambitions do I have? ”

Sister Ghost stared into his eyes, "Don't you have one?" I know best what you men think, wealth, power, and power, there is always one thing that you like in your heart.

Well, you are very rich, and you are very good at making money, although it is rumored that you are a money string, but I don't think so, the poor can't understand the mind of the rich, just speculate from their own point of view.

People like you who spend money like water don't look like people who love money like life.

As for sex, hehe, it's possible, in just two years, he married four wives and concubines, and he can be regarded as a romantic person. But now I don't think so, you look at me, it's always different from other men, I'm sure of that.

Then the rest is only power. Power, it seems that you don't have a lot of power, but in fact, it's just that you don't fight for it, you want power, you can easily get it.

momentum, you are building, from the academy to the talents from all walks of life that you are recruiting, you are building your own power.

Then the end result is simple, you have ambitions, or, as you once said to me, you call your ambitions dreams. ”

Yang Huairen smiled, "I didn't expect you to see me like this, but I want to say that you saw something right and a little wrong." Since you know my dream, you should kill me, because leaving me behind is the biggest hidden danger for you, your father, and Liao. ”

Sister Ghost was silent for a moment, as if she was struggling in her heart, and finally said in a firm tone, "Actually, what you want, or your dream, sounds too big to me, and it's the first time I've heard someone have such a dream."

So at that moment, I was moved, definitely not lying to you, I really admired your people, and your dreams.

But at the same time, your dream is really too big and too far away, and in my cognition, it is very difficult to achieve.

But with so much happening today, I suddenly realized in surprise that there is no one in the world who can give you what you want, except me. ”

"You?!"

Yang Huairen was surprised and a little confused, "What do you mean?" ”
