Chapter 1,762 Two Countries

Going to Beijing, Yan'an Palace.

In the Liao Dynasty, not only did the southern official system imitate the Song Dynasty, but even the layout and names of the palaces were almost the same as those in the Song Dynasty.

In the side hall, a young woman with a beautiful face and luxurious clothes was kneeling. Yelu Yanxi looked at her coldly: "Recently, Concubine Yuan gave birth to a prince, and I promoted Xiao Fengxian, and I also treated your brother with humiliation.

Responsibility, do you have a grudge against me?"

The woman was shocked and said: "I live in a deep palace, and the only one who knows about it is your Majesty. I don't know anything about the affairs of the outside world. I just... just thought that in winter, birds and animals are already weak and have a hard time surviving. When hunting at this time,

It is definitely not... an act of mercy. Your Majesty should declare your intention to maintain good health and the virtue of living well. When you go to the alms bowl in autumn, you can hunt again. It can also be regarded... as a prayer for the king of Jin and the king of Qin."

Yelu Yanxi helped the woman up: "Sese, the situation is difficult. I have been leading troops outside all year round, and I have indeed neglected you recently."

The woman was the second concubine of Yelu Yanxi, and Concubine Wen was desolate.

The Liao Dynasty was different from the Song Dynasty. When emperors of the Liao Dynasty married concubines, they always chose families with huge power.

Xiao Sesu was the daughter of the eldest uncle of the Liao Dynasty.

There are three daughters in the eldest father's house. The elder sister is married to Yelu Tageli, a member of the clan, and the younger sister is married to Yelu Yuxu, a powerful general of the clan and deputy capital commander.

Xiao Sesu has been very smart since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also recite poems and write lyrics. She is as talented as Xiao Guanyin.

When Yelu Yanxi visited Yelu Taggeli, she met Xiao Sesu who was playing at her brother-in-law's house. At that time, she was attracted by Xiao Sesu's outstanding appearance and unique temperament.

Xiao Sesu also had a good feeling for Yelu Yanxi. The guard between men and women in the Liao Kingdom was not very strict, so Yelu Yanxi quickly brought her into the palace, and the two of them had been together for several months.

But Queen Xiao Duolilan's family was more powerful, and she was the fifth-generation grandson of Xiao Jixian, the famous prime minister of the Liao Dynasty.

At that time, Yelu Yanxi did not dare to give Xiao Sesu a title, so the ministers asked for orders and asked Yelu Yanxi to take in the queen's sister Xiao Gui. It happened that Xiao Sesu was pregnant, so they had to be made concubines together.

Before Xiao Sese's death, there used to be a virtuous concubine, Master Xiao, whose father was Xiao Changge, the Prime Minister of the Beifu.

Aunt Xiao also gave birth to a son to Yelu Yanxi, who was named King of Yan. However, the child could not be saved. Aunt Xiao followed the child because of excessive grief.

Therefore, Xiao Sese's son, King Jin, was Yelu Yanxi's eldest son.

Xiao Sesu was supported by Yelu Yanxi and stood up: "The difficulties your Majesty has encountered are worse than those at the beginning of the founding of the country. You should work hard to govern."

"I do not dare to have any grudges against Your Majesty. I only pray in front of the Buddha every day. May my husband return victoriously and revitalize the imperial court. May our country be peaceful again, and the people be safe and peaceful."

Yelu Yanxi hugged her and said: "I make bowls in the four seasons and hunt for fun, not to be cruel and easy to kill, but to win over the tribes and gather people's hearts."

"Sese, you don't have the kindness of a woman. When the country is in crisis, it is the people who bear the suffering first. How can you be kind to the animals in the forest when no one can take care of it?"

Xiao Sesu snuggled into Yelu Yanxi's arms and said, "I have misunderstood your husband. I am guilty."

"Husband and wife are one, it's pointless to talk about this. Don't think too much about your brother. It's serious to raise our son well and don't let me worry outside."

"Um."

Yelu Yanxi looked at the supple and beautiful woman in her arms, and felt a little moved for a moment, so she groped dishonestly into the bleak robe.

At this moment, there was a slight cough at the door, but the sharp voice of an official outside the door was heard saying: "Your Majesty, the Queen and Concubine Yuan have invited Your Majesty Zhongcui Palace to a banquet."

There was a hint of sadness in Xiao Sese's eyes, but he regained his composure in a blink of an eye, and struggled out of Yelu Yanxi's arms: "Your Majesty, please go see the two empresses quickly."

Yelu Yanxi chuckled and pinched Xiao Sesu's nose: "Every time I come and go in a hurry, I'll be fine after next year."

After saying that, he took the robe from the hanger and turned his head before going out: "Don't cry."

Before going out, he kicked the middle official who had just reported, cursed, and then strode towards Zhongcui Palace.

Xiao Sese had just been touched by Yelu Yanxi and felt weak. She had to hold the table with both hands and looked at Yelu Yanxi's retreating background. The tears in her eyes still flowed down.

In the first year of Shaoshu, in the eleventh month of winter, on the first day of the month, the Lord of Liao went on a hunting trip like Salina, running a hundred miles a day and shooting thirty-two sheep and deer himself.

The arrangement of Nabo this time was also quite clever.

Many tribes west of Jinshan and east of the Hun Tong River were isolated by the Tatars and Nüzhi. Therefore, this time Nabo mainly summoned the tribes in the core areas of the Liao Dynasty.

After Yelu Dabeinu suggested, it was simply held in advance. The excuse was that the tribes were too far away to come in time, which was an excuse to stall the subjects.

Yelu Yanxi actually didn't care about it. For the purpose of government, he first calmed down his stomach and heart, and then rested his body.

Just enough time to take care of internal government affairs.

Ji You, give official positions to those who died in battle.

Afterwards, a series of appointments were issued to fill the large number of vacancies in the DPRK caused by the extermination of the remaining Yelu Yisun parties.

All the ministers were promoted to positions and titles one after another.

The emperor's uncles Yelu and Luo were appointed kings of Song and Wei, and their eldest son Yelu Chun was appointed king of Zheng.

Xiao Tuobujia was appointed as the prime minister of the Northern Palace, Wang Shiru was appointed as the counselor of the Northern Court, Yelu Asu was the privy envoy of the Northern Court, Wuku Jiedu envoy Yelv Shenjianu Shangshu Youpu She was appointed, Etle was appointed as the envoy of the northwest road, and Zhao Xiaoyan was appointed as the envoy of the Northwest Road.

The Han people's palaces were all arranged, and Yelu Dabei Nuwei inspected all the people in front of the palace.

Xiao Fengxian was granted the title of Prince of Lanling County, and he also knew the affairs of the Privy Council.

He used Xiao Wuna to speak out his disobedience to the imperial edict. He served as the Taifu and became the governor of Liao Xingjun.

Wang Jing was the Prime Minister of the Nanfu, Niu Wenshu participated in politics for the Nanyuan, Zhao Tingmu was a Privy Council official, Shi Gong was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Tuohui was appointed as the Third Secretary-General, and Dagong Ding stayed in Zhongjing and entered the Shaoshi Division.

After the young emperor came into power for a year, he punished the rebels internally, defended against powerful enemies externally, vindicated his father and grandmother, vigorously promoted his relatives and important ministers, and finally stabilized the situation.

Now I finally start to show off my talents.

…

On the same day, the Song Dynasty had just officially completed Gao Taotao's funeral.

Jiyou, Queen Xuanren and Shenglie were buried in Yongding Mausoleum, and their nephew Xuanren was buried in the Ancestral Temple.

In Gengxu, he wrote a chapter to present the story of the Empress Dowager, but avoided Gao Zunfu's taboo.

Also on Jiyou Day, envoys from the Tatars and Nüzhi also arrived in Bianjing.

The two tribes attached great importance to this mission.

As for the Tatars, Li Kui came in person with Magusu, the oldest of the "three sworn brothers";

As for the female straights, Su Lishe came in person with Aguda's uncle, Wanyan Kaizhe.

Kaizhe is Gai Libo's eldest brother. The two grew up in the same house. During Gai Libo's period, Kaizhe was responsible for housework, and Gai Libo was responsible for foreign affairs. It was almost like Wan Yan's daughter Zhizhong, Zhengzong, Prime Minister and Emperor.

uncle's status.

The Liao Kingdom wanted to consecrate the impeacher to the title of Nüzhi Jiedu, but the impeacher was unwilling to usurp the position of his nephew Aguda, so he simply ran away and came to the Song Dynasty as an envoy.

The speed of transportation within the Song Dynasty was the first intuitive impression of the two envoys.

Magusu entered Hequ from Jiuyuan, and then was escorted by the Zhejia Army along the border to Dingxiang. This section took a lot of time.

After that, it’s almost time to fly to Feiqi, take the train from Dingxiang to Taiyuan, take a small steamer from Taiyuan along the Fen River to Hezhongfu, then transfer to the Longhai Line, and take the train to Bianjing City.

The Kaizhe way is faster. We took a sea boat from Zhangzi Island to Jiaozhou when there was a strong wind. Then we also took the Longhai Line and took a train from Jiaozhou to Bianjing City.

Along the way, the impeacher gained a thorough understanding of the prosperity and power of the Song Dynasty.

The huge ships of the Song Dynasty, the magnificent seaport, the beautiful warships on the berths, the huge locomotive made of brass and pig iron, the rails under the locomotive, the mountains of goods at the station and the bustling crowds...

The impeacher made a rough estimate. After the estimate, he was completely determined to attach himself to the Song Dynasty.

A rail that is so thick weighs at least two hundred pounds per foot.

There must be at least 30,000 kilograms of refined iron in that area.

In other words, one mile of railway track in the Song Dynasty was enough to arm fifteen thousand tribesmen.

Doctor Liu said that it was two thousand miles from Jiaozhou to the capital of the Song Dynasty!

This is only part of the Song Dynasty Railway!

In this country, steel capable of arming fifty million people will be laid on the ground as a road!

With such ability, why didn't they build weapons, arm troops, and send troops to destroy the Liao Kingdom?!

Doctor Liu laughed and said, the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago was not like this. Can you believe that the Liao people could kill all the way to Chanyuan?

However, the wealth obtained through plunder cannot be maintained. The Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were actually two similar countries a hundred years ago, but one went the right way and the other went the wrong way.
