Chapter 492: Deliberation
Yeluren first went out from the Xuande Gate, and there were already stagecoaches and horses waiting in the north of Duting. Gao Hao was sent here, and said with a smile: "Yelu Yuyue, please go slowly!" ”
Even if he looked down on the eunuch, but he couldn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, Yeluren nodded first, and went straight to the carriage. This is not a luxurious carriage, with a lantern with the words Duting Beiyi, and with the coachman's "drive", the horses pulling the carriage slowly drove towards the direction of Gwanghwamun in Beicheng.
Yeluren got into the carriage first, tried hard to restrain his excitement, and thought seriously about whether there was any trap in Lu Chengqi's condition. If Lu Chengqi knew about it, he would definitely cry out for injustice: "Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't think about setting any traps!" ”
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are traps in this. It's just that this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, even if Ye Luren sees through the trap first, he is helpless against Lu Chengqi. This is because Lu Chengqi pinched Yelu Renxian, or the seven inches of the Liao State - poor!
That's right, it's poor. Compared with Dashun, the Liao State is too poor, so poor that Shun Wenzong will be, and it is obvious that the Liao State can retreat to the desert, but he can endure it. There is no way, the Liao State is poor and white, even if they are defeated, there is nothing to plunder. The gains outweigh the losses, and anyone will calculate this account.
Again, the land is wide to the vast grassland, all the way is flat, and there is no natural danger. The Han people like to build cities for defense, and the grassland is not dangerous to defend, which is not the style of the Han people. Therefore, Shunwenzong is very smart, and when he returned to the land of the old Han Dynasty, he accepted it when he saw it.
After so many years, the Khitans are still as brave, while the Han people have gradually lost their fighting spirit and physique in the prosperous Central Plains. However, it is no different that the Han people are still so rich and the Liao country is still so poor.
Lu Chengqi's strategy of exchanging money for population was completely aimed at the gap in Liao's poverty. Even if Yeluren knew first, if the population was lost, the Liao State would no longer be the Liao State. But he had no way to refuse, even if he changed to a staunch Liao official, the Khitan people who were used to living a poor life, how could they not be moved in the face of such a mountain of gold and silver!
Lifting the car window and letting the cold wind blow his hot head, Yeluren took a deep breath. Suddenly, he saw that there were two long deep pits on the bluestone street in front of him. Before he could taste what it was, the carriage suddenly shook violently twice. He almost didn't hit Yelurenxian's tall figure on the top of the carriage.
Yeluren was first furious: "What happened? ”
The coachman was not much afraid of him, even if he knew that he was a Khitan official. Because of the propaganda of "Dashun Minbao", the Khitan people have no secret in the eyes of the Han people. Hundreds of secret agents of the Supervision Department infiltrated the territory of Liao through various channels. An endless stream of news came from various settlements in the Liao State, just like the Khitan people did to Dashun in the past. It's just that after Dashun got serious, he had already cleared the spies of the Khitans, Koreans, and Japanese people, and the rest were all small fish and shrimp that slipped through the net, and they couldn't set off any waves.
It is this kind of mentality that the coachman said sorry, but in fact, he owed a trace of apology: "This official, I'm sorry, this is the gallop built by the emperor's order, it's amazing!" ”
Yeluren was stunned for a moment: "What way?" ”
The coachman said triumphantly, "Gallop! I don't understand it when I tell you, but if you go to the north of the city to have a look, you will understand. When it wasn't snowing before, there were still stonemasons digging it. Since the beginning of the month, the stonemasons have gone home. What is it called? That's right, it's called a holiday, it's cold and winter, and it's unkind and unrighteous to let the stonemasons do these individual jobs......"
The coachman was also talkative, and talked a lot along the way. But he is a star-fighting small people, what do he know! Jereman first took his words to heart silently, but did not speak.
The speed of the carriage was not slow, and in only two quarters of an hour, it returned to the Duting North Station. After Yeluren got out of the car first, he walked straight into the Duting North Station, and the coachman saw that his face was gloomy, and he hummed a little song indifferently, and then put on the chariot and rushed home. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and when the time was calculated, it was already more than half of the unitary time. In winter, it gets dark early, so it's good to finish work early.
"King!"
The Khitan people in the Duting North Post saluted Yeluren one after another, and Yeluren just said lightly: "Xiao Han's slave, you and I come in." ”
Xiao Han's slave is a member of the Xi tribe, and in the Chongyuan Rebellion, he recruited 2,000 Xi hunters, and his contribution is indispensable. He was originally the grandson of Zhongshu Ling Anjun, who was studious since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he entered Nanshan to study, read scriptures and history, and knew Khitan and Chinese. Therefore, this time he sent an envoy to Dashun, and Yelu Hongji asked him to be a deputy envoy.
After entering a quiet room, Yeluren immediately explained the conditions of Lu Chengqi in the Chongde Hall today. Xiao Han's slave pondered for a while and said, "What does Yu Yue think? ”
Yeluren said worriedly: "I, the Khitans, add up to less than 1.5 million households. The rest of the population is either Han Chinese, or the Murowei, Xi people, and Jurchen people...... Yes, the price proposed by Emperor Dashun is very high. But once we promise to set this precedent, we are afraid that it will be out of control in the future! ”
Although Xiao Han's slave was born in Xi, if he is ranked according to his knowledge, he can also be ranked in the Liao Kingdom. So Yeluren respected his opinion and couldn't wait to hear what he thought.
Xiao Han's slave was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The Han people are really full of scheming!" ”
Yeluren was stunned for a moment, and said unconfidently: "Why do you say this? ”
Xiao Han's slave analyzed the situation, and Yelu Renxian also understood this more or less, so he hesitated. When I heard it at this moment, I knew it in my chest, but there was no way to crack it. Without the use of force, trying to force the Great Submission to relenting seems to be an unsolvable problem.
Yeluren was stunned for a long time before he said helplessly: "How is it good now?" Your Majesty ordered me to wait, and we must get the money. Emperor Dashun used this as an excuse to stump us and others, did he want to deny it? ”
Xiao Han's slave nodded helplessly and said, "The Han people are the best at playing with words, since Emperor Dashun is like this, not to mention the rest of the people." Alas, the tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, if it weren't for the sudden rebellion of the imperial uncle, how could my Da Liao degenerate to the point of compromising with Da Shun! Now I can only write a letter and send it back to Liao, so that His Majesty can judge......"
Yeluren nodded first, and said approvingly: "Write down the tricks of the Han people clearly, and your majesty will surely have a way to deal with it......" When he said this, even he didn't believe it. They knew what the courtiers beside Jeruhunki were. Especially that Yelu Yixin, who looks like a traitor, will definitely stir up the storm from it. If so, it is not surprising what Yeluhonki would decide.
Both of them saw a look of helplessness in their eyes, and almost at the same time sighed deeply...... (To be continued.) )
