Chapter 11: Nayan
If it was Li Xuandu when he was young, just the rude act of a woman would have given him a reason to draw his sword. However, for Li Xuandu today, it is a breeze, and it can be laughed at.
Li Xuandu no longer looked at the golden horde and turned to leave.
The woman in the Golden Horde was still looking up at the city, her fingers tapping her belt lightly and rhythmically against the jade.
The dwarf beside the woman was a little unsure of his master's thoughts, so he couldn't help but whisper in the Golden Horde: "That Yan ......"
"Nayan" is also known as "Nayan", which means officials, princes, and later the collective name of the Golden Horde magnates. The Golden Horde established the thousand-household system, dividing the people and land of the whole country into one hundred thousand households, and the king of the Khan awarded them to the nobles and meritorious heroes respectively, appointing them as the nayan, that is, the chief, of the thousand households, and making them hereditary rulers. The 1,000 households are divided into several hundreds, and the 100 households are 10 households. The Golden Horde's sub-feudal Nayan Thousand Households, replacing the old tribes. By dividing 1,000 households, the herdsmen are allowed to live in the designated pastureland, and they are not allowed to change. The Khanate conscripted and assigned troops according to the 1,000 households, and all the households were registered in the 1,000 households to bear the burden of military service and errands. The king of Khan added 10,000 households above the 1,000 households, and the 10,000 households were selected from the 1,000 households, also known as "Ye Nayan", which means the chief official, but the 10,000 households only had the right to command the army and the military and political power of the 1,000 households, and had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the other 1,000 households. But both Nayan and Nayan have the power to participate in politics, discuss politics, and elect the Khan.
On the top of Ye Nayan and Na Yan, there are the kings on the left and right, and there are also princes who are ten thousand households. The relationship between the kings and the ten thousand households was similar to that between the governor and the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief was subject to the governor's control. Now, after the governors of the Great Wei Dynasty have obtained the financial power and personnel power, they are no different from the kings of the Golden Horde.
At the top is the King of Khan, under the command of the elite Praetorian Guard, named the Cowardly Xue Army, which means "Fanzhi Su Guard", which is led by the Grand Captain. The Grand Lieutenant was usually held by a brother trusted by the Khan.
This woman was called "Na Yan", not to mention one person below ten thousand people, but one of the more than 100 most noble people in the Golden Horde.
There is no need for her subordinates to explain the words, the woman already understands the meaning, and shakes her head: "Don't have more rights and wrongs." But I always have a strange feeling that this person is not simple. ”
The dwarf was taken aback: "Could it be that Yan saw something?"
The woman smiled: "It's just a woman's intuition, it may or may not be accurate." ”
The dwarf chuckled and said no more.
A woman's intuition is quite accurate to guess whether her man has eaten secretly, but when it comes to these life-and-death matters, most of them are not accurate.
The woman who was from an extremely noble background in the Golden Horde also smiled self-deprecatingly, laughing at herself for being a little suspicious, how could she be so timid? She shook her head to dispel those strange emotions and said, "This trip to the Central Plains has not gained much. After returning to the royal court, not only did he not get the reward of the old Khan, but he might also be attacked by several princes, and he ended up with no one. In this world, why is it that whoever does more will suffer more grievances?"
The dwarf said softly: "That Yan doesn't have to worry, the old Khan's sharp eyes are like an eagle soaring on the grassland, and he can't hide anything from his old man." Everything that Yan did, Old Khan will know and remember. ”
The woman hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "But Old Khan will eventually return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, and at that time, how should I deal with myself?"
The dwarf's face changed slightly, and he said, "That Yan means that the old Khan is ......."
The woman waved her hand: "Not only will the old Khan return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, but the kings, all the Nayan, and even the most humble slaves will return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, the difference is only that the time is sooner or later." ”
The dwarf sighed, "In this regard, the Immortal Heaven is the most fair and merciful. ”
The woman whispered to herself: "Today's Great Wei court is no longer what it used to be, and although the governors of various places do not have the title of king, they have the power of kings. Look at our Golden Horde, the kings have their own territories, and they live in water and grass. The grassland is bitterly cold, and when it encounters heavy snowfall, it will collapse the strongest tents, and all the cattle and sheep will freeze, and all the cattle will not be able to dig through the thick snow pit to graze with all their strength. Therefore, whenever there is a white plague, every thousand households must prepare to migrate. But even the most experienced herders are not sure which side of the white snow is a paradise where they can live, and which side is a snowy lake that will die. Even if the right route is chosen, when to set off, and how many oxen and horses will be used to open the way, this also requires the leader to make arrangements. Every natural disaster will strengthen the leader's control over the tribe, and the tribe that survived after so many natural disasters can imagine the prestige of its leader, even the old Khan cannot separate it from the tribe under his command, which is the difference between us and the Central Plains. Now that the old khan is still there, then a hundred thousand households will unite around the old khan, but if the old khan returns to the embrace of the immortal heaven, then what will happen between these hundred thousand households?"
After hearing these words, the dwarf swept over the surrounding guards with a cold gaze, and everyone lowered their heads.
The woman chuckled, "Don't worry, they are the most loyal warriors, they will not betray me, let alone betray me." ”
The dwarf disagreed: "A loyal warrior will not be intimidated by the butcher's knife of his enemies, but will be quietly corrupted by gold and silver, and even the kings on high will be no exception in this regard." ”
Speaking of this, the woman suddenly remembered something and asked: "You used to belong to the cowardly Xue army of the old Khan, and you once went to Xijing of the Central Plains and saw their emperor's palace, so what color is the palace of the emperor of the Central Plains? ”
The dwarf groaned for a moment and said, "In the earliest days, the palace of the Emperor of the Central Plains was black, but later, it turned golden. But it's not all gold, strictly speaking, it should be gold and red. ”
The woman smiled: "Red wall and golden tile? The golden tiles are the color of gold at the top, and the red walls are the color of blood at the bottom. Is this a metaphor for the creation of gold power with blood?"
The dwarf smiled: "This metaphor of Na Yan is very vivid, although the people of the Central Plains claim to be the state of etiquette, and regard us as 'barbarians', but they are no different from us, they all use blood and killing to determine the winner, but they always have to put on a gorgeous robe for this matter, covering up, like the hypocrites they say." ”
"Hypocrites. The woman is not proficient in Confucianism, and her level is roughly the same as that of a child in Mengxue, but her experience can make her clearly understand what the "gentleman" and "villain" mean in the population of the Central Plains, and she can't help laughing: "This statement is really good, the two countries are fighting, the gentleman has long died, and only the real villains and hypocrites have survived, we are real villains, they are hypocrites." ”
After Li Xuandu walked down the city wall, he went straight back to the camp.
For this trip to the Golden Horde, he specially learned some Golden Horde language, which he could understand, and he could barely talk daily, but he couldn't write, and his accent was weird, and a mouth would reveal his identity as a Central Plainsman. At this time, Li Xuandu was a little envious of "his heart". Among the six supernatural powers, "Tianyantong", "Tian'er Tong", and "Shenjing Tong" are slightly inferior to "Leaking Exhaust Tong", "Fate Tong", and "Other Heart Tong", among which "He Xintong" as the name suggests, you can know what others think, and you can be proficient in various languages in just half a day, and you can read and write. In addition, "leaking all the passes" is to enhance the body, but "other heart passes" and "fate passes" can enhance understanding, Qin Su and Su Yuncheng have obtained these two kinds of supernatural powers respectively, and it is not far to come to the realm of heaven and man.
Thinking of Su Yuncheng, Li Xuandu was inevitably a little worried about Yan Feiqing's situation, after all, realm cultivation is the foundation of the rivers and lakes, after Li Xuandu fell to the realm, even if he had the protection of his second senior brother Zhang Haishi, he was also full of human warmth, Yan Feiqing would not be much better than Li Xuandu.
Thinking of this, Li Xuandu began to consider sucking Su Yuncheng into the Qingping Society, so that he could communicate with each other, but he was in the grassland, so he couldn't ask Su Yuncheng in person, but he could leave it to Qin Su to do, now the marriage between Bai Xiushang and Qin Qing is a foregone conclusion, Qin Su and Su Yuncheng have become veritable sisters, and the two will not attract the attention of others.
