royal robes

Chapter 452
Yeluruan nodded and said: "It turned out to be the north of Fengzhou City. I remember that when I was reviewing the memorials a few days ago, there was something about the boundaries of Fengzhou. It is war or peace. I think peace is the most important thing. After all, Fengzhou has no resources, and it is If there is no need to destroy this kind of place, we also need foreign trade import and export. Today's Fengzhou should be self-reliant, and the owner of the city seems to be called... Feng Hui, right."

"Your Majesty has a good memory. It's true that the owner of Fengzhou City is indeed Feng Hui. After Shi Jingtang betrayed the Sixteen States of Youyun, he started a black-hearted business. But later, Fengzhou City's trade was so good, so he He did the right thing. Now Fengzhou City has [-] troops, and its foreign trade is very developed. Many people who come from the Silk Road will stop in Fengzhou to do business, and they are not willing to enter the Central Plains at all, because the Central Plains is precarious at this time. For their own safety, they dare not go deep. What's more, merchants from the Central Plains will automatically go to Fengzhou to trade with them, so there is no need to make themselves harder."

Yeluruan nodded, his decision was indeed correct, and places like Fengzhou City still need him to exist.And as a pig, it's better to fatten it up and then kill it.Let Fengzhou City be like this for the time being, and when you are too poor, you can directly attack Fengzhou and loot all the property in the city, but you can also make a small windfall.

Trade is very important for development, and it can absorb other people's advanced technology. It may not be good if you rob Toyosu, so let's do it for the time being.Anyway, it is a small Fengzhou City, it is easy to win whenever you want.

"How about this, the news of my personal conquest is strictly confidential. Prepare enough food and grass along the way, and go directly to the desert without entering Fengzhou. When we go out, we hold the flag of Ming Wang Yelu Anduan, so that Feng Hui thinks that we are going to attack the Turks. Otherwise, if Feng Hui knew that I was going out with only [-] soldiers, he might attack by force, and he might try to kill me."

"According to the order."

Yeluruan's judgment was correct. If he knew that the Khitan emperor was in his territory and he only brought 5000 troops, Feng Hui would definitely have an idea.Although he couldn't offend Khitan, if the emperor was in his hands, it would be a different matter.

There are pros and cons to the imperial conquest, because this time Yeluruan is not for war, but he just hopes that Yeluzhen and Yelu Anduan will not fight when he is looking for the fire unicorn, otherwise he will stay in the safe palace, if only one of them comes back, He will die too.

Helpless, Yeluruan knew that King Ming had already attacked Yeluzhen.The difference in martial arts between the two sides is quite large, if King Ming is not sure of victory, he will never dare to make a move.So this time Yeluruan came here entirely out of protecting Yeluzhen, which was something that no one could think of, even Yelu Anduan couldn't think of it.

Yelu Anduan really didn't think about it, he thought Yelu Ruan was greedy for the blood of the fire unicorn, so he brought five thousand soldiers and horses with him.It was Yeluruan's greed that made the whole thing complicated.There were 5000 people present, and Yelu Anduan would never dare to blatantly assassinate King Shenwu. If the news got out, Yelu Anduan would lose everything, and he couldn't bear such a result.

If he just lost his life, Yelu Anduan still has the title of Khitan Ming King, and later generations will occasionally think of his life as a soldier.Although people don't know anything after death, Yan Guo took photos, people left names, and worked hard for his whole life, so he must not be infamous for eternity before he died.Anyway, he is dead anyway, so of course he hopes to leave a good reputation.

Yelu Anduan was very entangled at this moment, who knew that the greedy guy Yelu Ruan would come to intervene.If only this group of people went on the road, except for Yeluzhen, the others would be their own people, and it would be reasonable to make up a random reason when they returned to Shangjing.But in the face of a large army of 5000 people, it is impossible for Yelu Anduan to kill Khitan King Shenwu so blatantly, a true spiritual leader.

Yelu'an said: "Your Majesty, there are many dangers to go here. I think... After you arrive in Fengzhou, you can temporarily stay outside the city. It is enough for us a few martial arts masters to enter the desert. There are too many people, but it is not easy to take care of them. The minister got After the Qilin blood, it will definitely be given away."

"That won't work. I have to see this fire unicorn with my own eyes. What if the blood of the fire unicorn must be drunk while it's hot? Can you guarantee that the blood of the fire unicorn will be effective?"

No guarantee, no one can guarantee what will happen.If you dare to say it, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor. There are so many generals present watching these three fathers and sons. No matter how powerful they are, they are no more powerful than the emperor. Duan does not want to go to this step for the time being.

Yeluan is the emperor, his order cannot be disobeyed, not to mention there are five thousand elite soldiers and a bunch of masters in the court, even Yelu Anduan dare not be tough with him, after all, there are too few people in Yelu Anduan at this time However, Yelu Ruan didn't let him lead soldiers, not even servants, otherwise Yelu Anduan could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to accompany him to find the Temple of Fire.

How can a person not bow his head under the low eaves?Yelu Anduan didn't expect Yelu Ruan to do such a trick to himself.Of course, as long as he doesn't attack him, Yeluruan absolutely cannot take the initiative to attack.After all, he was the one who single-handedly supported him to the Khitan Emperor, and the other generals and soldiers also knew about his power, as long as they rebelled, they would surely succeed.

Now there is only one obstacle between Yelu Anduan and the Supreme Emperor, and this obstacle is not Yelu Ruan.It's just that Yelu Ruan now acts as a stumbling block.Now Yelu Anduan is a little upset, but it's not a big problem.

Of course, Yelu Anduan also understood Yelu Ruan's thoughts. Although he blamed him a little, he didn't hold any hatred.After all, the desire for immortality is the greatest pursuit of human beings. Although the blood of the fire unicorn cannot make people immortal, it can prolong life and restore youth. This is a good treasure.Anyone who hears about the fire unicorn's blood will be as greedy as Yelu Ruan.

Yeluan said: "Your Majesty, the time is almost up, let's set off immediately."

"Yeah, that's right, God Yelu sent an order to go west with the whole army."

"According to the order."

God Yelu immediately left Liaobo to send out orders to rectify the three armies, and then marched west.

Almost all the people in Shangjing came to the west of Khitan City to witness the new emperor Yeluruan restore the Liaobo system. This is the tradition of the Khitan past.After going to a place, according to the local conditions, then set up local-specific policies.

This is a very good system, because there are differences across the country. If the policy is unified, some places will be better, but some places will be worse. Therefore, it is the most humane setting to use the policies of each region.Moreover, the policies will continue to change according to the passage of time, and some policies can only be used for a certain period of time, so the Khitan emperor must constantly travel around the country to balance the policies of various places.

The reason why Khitan people admire Liaobo so much is because they were nomads originally, and they still hope to return to the vast grassland, watch the sunset on the grassland, herd cattle and sing.Although such a life is fascinating, it is very hard, so this is only their spiritual sustenance.

So far, a large part of the Khitan still live a nomadic life, and people in the city gradually began to look down on these nomadic people.But this is the most primitive style of their Khitan, the emperor wants to maintain the last pride of the Khitan.

Of course, there is another most important reason.The Khitan people still have some bad roots in their bones. The life in Liaoboli is definitely not as rich and comfortable as in the palace. They like to watch the emperor live the life of the most ordinary people, which can greatly satisfy the hearts of the Khitan people. .Let them know that the emperor's life is not messy, so that the poor people will be very balanced, and they will not feel how poor they are.

Whether a society is stable does not depend on the rich, but on the poor.If a poor person feels poor, he will cause trouble.But if the poor do not feel poor, the society will be very harmonious.

Many people say that the development of a society depends on the average level, but in fact, it is only the poor that really depends.Because there are only a few rich people, they cannot support the entire society.It is always the poor who really support society.If the poor feel dissatisfied, they will rebel, and of course the society is not harmonious.The job of those in power is to satisfy the poor.

Khitan Abaoji has seen through this for a long time, so he established the teasing system, just to make the emperor's life not as rich as the people imagined.Let the emperor live in the camp for a long time, travel around the country to deal with various affairs, and the distance is fixed, so it is not difficult to find.

The Khitan emperor would live with the local nomadic tribes. The emperor’s food was also beef and mutton roasted in the fire. Although the styles of the tents were different, the environment was almost the same, which also made the people feel at ease. The difference between the emperor and himself was the size of the tent. Only a few.These poor people will feel very satisfied.

As a commoner, his emperor's food and housing were not much different from his own, so what reason did they have to rebel?After fighting all over the world, the result is still to live like this, and the emperor has to deal with various affairs, and he is so busy every day... It feels like the life of the emperor is not as good as that of ordinary herdsmen, they only need to drive the cattle and sheep out to graze , You don’t have to watch so many Qin Zhang every day to be exhausted.

Yelu Abaoji grasped this psychology of the nomads, and the teasing system was very popular in Khitan.All the people are looking forward to the emperor coming to their tribe and entertaining him with the best wine and the fattest cattle and sheep.But in fact, they also eat these things all day long.

Today's Khitan is very different because of the emergence of spring wheat. Although most nomadic tribes still maintain a nomadic state, they like to exchange cattle and sheep for delicious and easy-to-preserve wheat.Beef and mutton have long been tired of eating, and the aroma of wheat makes them irresistible.
