Fu Song

Chapter 353 The Best Choice
Daliao Guozuo has been passed down for hundreds of years. As the ruling class, the high-ranking Khitan people have long since lost the spirit of their ancestors who are golden and iron horses, brave and fierce.Their wills have been shattered by the wine and beauties.

Even the [-] leather army that they used as the pinnacle of the sea for a country, their combat effectiveness is no longer the domineering arrogance of looking down on the world and who can give me nothing.

Although they are still one of the strongest troops in the world.

However, some people have dared to challenge them.

As for the division of the palace, it was even more unbearable, and going to the army head-on had long been a means for the nobles to suppress the people. If they really wanted them to go to the battlefield and not hold back, then Amitabha.

On the other hand, the Han family in the Liao region has grown steadily in strength over the years.

From the beginning, they were suppressed and exploited by the Khitan nobles, and gradually they became divided into courts, and finally even forced the Liao court to set up two institutions, the South Court and the North Court, and a political system with two parallel laws.

On Nanjing Road, the Han family is the dominant force.

In the frontier struggle with the Song people, at first the Liao people were the main ones, supplemented by the Han family on the Nanjing road, in exchange for the trust of the Liao people.As time went by, the fighting party gradually became the Han people on Nanjing Road, while the Liao people began their beautiful life of leisure and leisure.

After more than a hundred years of fighting, the Han family on Nanjing Road became stronger and stronger, while the strength of the Liao people shrank sharply.

In the final analysis, we still have to rely on fists to speak.

The reason why the Liao court sent Yelujun to Nanjing was not because Yelujun at that time was an absolute outlier among the Liao royal family.

He loves Sinology, and he worshiped Lin Jing, a Han Chinese, as his teacher. Not to mention the best Khitans, even many Han Chinese masters would be dumbfounded in front of him, willing to lag behind.

Letting Yelujun come to Nanjing Road can make these Han families on Nanjing Road recognize this Liao royal family more, so as to avoid chaos.

Because the Nanjing Road at this time is not only strong and strong, but also the economic center of the Liao Kingdom.If the combat power of the army on the Nanjing Road is not the first in Liao, then the financial resources are definitely the first, and there is no way to compare it with other places.

The arrival of Yelujun did make the Han family on the Nanjing Road submissive, but it also created another important issue in the Liao Kingdom, that is, the issue of inheritance rights.

Before Yelujun came to prominence, Yeluxi was undoubtedly the first candidate. He even became the deputy commander of the Pishi Army. When he became the commander, it meant that he became the official heir.

But Yelujun made all of this full of variables.

And as Yelujun won a series of big victories on the Liao-Song border, and even forced the Song State to sign a treaty that humiliated the country and made the Liao State achieve an unparalleled victory over the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. Yelujun's succession dispute in the country has been ranked ahead of Yeluxi.

What does Yelujun rely on?
It relies on the unremitting support of the Han family in the Liao Kingdom, whether it is military or financial.

To put it bluntly, the dispute between the Chinese orthodoxy of the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty is actually a dispute between the Han people of the Liao Kingdom and the Song people.As the strength of the Han family in Liao Kingdom became stronger, this kind of debate became more and more intense.A real Khitan, would he really care about this?

Yelujun knew very well that if he wanted to maintain his strength and advantage, he had to keep the Han family behind him.

Lin Jing alone is not enough to make all the Han families submit to him, because the Lin family is also one of the families, and there are countless contradictions and hatred among these families.

Therefore, Yelujun planned to marry a woman of Han descent.In order to show his importance to the Han family, and this woman of Han descent will naturally become the glue of all the Han families in Liao.

Of course, such a woman who meets all the conditions is also rare, and there is no one in a million.

Xiao San's wife, Xiao Qi, belongs to the one-in-a-million or even unique one.

Family background, knowledge, appearance, etc. are impeccable.

Moreover, Xiao Ding, the commander of the Western Army who has become famous all over the world, or Xiao Cheng, the second son of the Xiao family who has shown his talents, can make people who know the inside story support Miss Xiao San to take this position.

Whether it is Yelujun or the Han people in Liao, they all have a common grand wish, that is to unify the world and unite the universe.

Today's confrontation between the North and the South makes them feel as if they are choked in their throats, making them extremely uncomfortable.

"Now that the Lin family is in full swing, we can only stay away from it!" Lu Jian slowly chewed the salted beans, and said, "Once His Highness ascends to the throne, the Lin family's power will rise to a higher level. But prosperity will decline, and things will be reversed. The highest point of their Lin family will inevitably become the starting point of their decline."

"That Xiao Chuo is extremely clever, I'm afraid he has already guessed that the ruin of her family has something to do with Lin Ping." Lu Jian'an said with a smile: "On the way, I can still have a few words with this woman. , but when facing Lin Ping, she never used words."

Lu Jian chuckled: "Ben'an, in our Daliao, the queen has never been a decoration. If it is Xiao Xian, she is naturally supported by the Xiao family. Xiao Siwen's strength is enough for her to sit firmly as the queen." But Xiao Chuo is a loner, who will support him? The Lin family will only guard against her and will not give her any help, so we sell it better than her in advance. If she is smart enough, know what to do!"

"Not long after arriving in Xijin Mansion, this girl Xiao Chuo can't wait to start building her own strength. Is it a bit too ostentatious? If His Highness doesn't like it," Lu Ben'an hesitated.

Lu Jian shook his head: "You underestimate our Highness. He has a big heart and is confident that he can control everything. He doesn't care what Xiao Chuo does, and he doesn't even care about us colluding with this girl Xiao Chuo. Because At the moment, their interests should be highly consistent."

"That's true!" Lu Ben'an said: "Xiao Chuo wants to take revenge on the Song Dynasty. The first step is that His Royal Highness must first sit on the throne of Daliao Emperor, and she can sit on the throne of Queen. He must be her enemy!"

Lu Jian chuckled: "Ben'an, what kind of revenge can be more thorough than taking everything from your enemy, leaving your enemy with nothing, and even having to crawl at your feet in fear? At that time, it will be like It’s like a cat playing with a mouse, and the mouse is terrified day by day, restless night by night, not knowing when the sharp sword hanging above its head will fall and cut off its own neck.”

"Your Highness will let such a thing happen? Will the Lin family tolerate that Xiao Chuo can trample on them at will one day?" Lu Ben'an shook his head: "Even though that girl is quite talented, I really can't imagine that she can do this."

"Having this ambition doesn't mean she can do it! Of course, in my opinion, maybe she will always work hard in this direction." Lu Jian took a sip of wine, "Before the Song Kingdom is destroyed, your Highness and her interests Highly consistent, it is natural that the husband sings and the wife follows, and the qin sings together. When the Song Dynasty is destroyed, I am afraid that we will part ways. But for us, in this process, there will naturally be enough time and space to seek our own interests. , keep weakening the Lin family and strengthening my Lu family until I can replace it."

"Father, at that time you said, will His Highness abandon this queen?"

"Is that so easy?" Lu Jian smiled: "It depends on the general trend of the world. For example, how much power the queen can control at that time, how many of this Han family can serve the queen wholeheartedly? For example, the one who cuts the drama Whether Xiao Ding and Xiao Changqing have the ability to shake the general trend of the world, etc., in short, we have to wait and see."

Lu Benan shook his head: "It seems that people in all aspects are full of confidence in themselves, and I don't know who will lose everything in the end."

"They are all the top people in the world. If you don't even have this confidence, how can you talk about playing chess?" Lu Jian said with a smile: "As for winning or losing, there is a saying that it is people who make things happen. In the sky. If you don’t do it, who knows?”

"If you don't try it, who knows if it will work!" Xiao Chuo whispered to Qin Min who was beside him in the County Prince's Mansion, Nanzhu Garden.

Qin Min was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xiao, I have looked carefully these days, and Yelujun didn't take any precautions against you at all, and he followed you in and out of Jinfu. If you want to leave, I will Even if I risk my life, I will protect you and escape from here."

"Escape?" Xiao Chuo raised his head.

"Yes, not to mention other places, as long as you escape to Mr. Xiao, no one in this world can do anything to you!" Qin Min said in a low voice. "Revenge is something that a man will take care of. Whether it's the Xiao family's Dalang or Erlang, this is what they should do!"

Xiao Chuo shook his head slowly: "Qin Min, you don't understand, our family's enemies, even if the eldest brother has a hundred thousand soldiers, it is difficult to repay the party who cuts off the show."

Thinking of the strengths, advantages and disadvantages of the parties analyzed by the second elder brother and himself back then, Xiao Chuo took a deep breath: "The revenge I want is not just to be angry and splattered with blood, but to change the color of the country. , the world is upside down."

Qin Min sighed, "It's too difficult!"

"Of course it's difficult." Xiao Chuo said, "It's like you want to kill Cui Ang, want to cut him into pieces, but with your current status, can you walk within a hundred steps of him? In the Liao Kingdom, if you were in the Song Dynasty or Bianliang, you would be surrounded by countless people if you showed up. Besides, would you relieve yourself if you only killed him?"

There was a fierce look in Qin Min's eyes.

"How many people have you selected these days?" Xiao Chuo changed the subject.

"All I'm looking for are criminal slaves." Qin Min took a deep breath, and changed his mind to another matter: "Those criminal slaves who have a good foundation and drag their families with their families have already selected a hundred people. But in this way, the cost will be high. These sin slaves themselves do not spend money, and the owners of the sin slaves are willing to send people here for free, but it is a big expense to arrange the families of these people. According to five hundred The scale of people is the resettlement of thousands of people."

"You don't have to worry about money." Xiao Chuo said: "You just need to let those five hundred people sell their lives to me. Even if they die in battle, I will support their families to the end. "

Qin Min said no more, bowed slightly, turned and left the bamboo garden.

Xiao Chuo sat alone leaning on the railing for a long time, then got up and walked towards the Wutong Garden, which is separated from the Nanzhu Garden by a wall.

Xiao Chuo enjoys the Nanzhu Garden to himself, but in the Wutong Garden lives the mistress of the palace, Yelujun's concubine, Xiao Xian, the only daughter of Generalissimo Xiao Siwen.

Xiao Xian is already dying!
Seeing Xiao Chuo, this skinny woman sat up with a smile on her face, supported by the palace maid, and beckoned Xiao Chuo to sit in front of her.

Xiao Chuo or Xiao Qi, Xiao Xian is no stranger.Because in the past two years, the lingering sick woman has read many poems, words and even some articles written by her.

She signaled the maid to open the curtain covering the window, and the sun shone in through the window lattice, which made the woman on the bed frown involuntarily, but shook her head to stop the maid from pulling the curtain again. His gaze stayed on the five or six-year-old child in the garden outside the window, who was carefree and fluttering butterflies among the flowers with the court lady.

"Xian'er is a good boy!" Xiao Xian took Xiao Chuo's hand and said softly.

Xiao Chuo nodded, "The king's three sons, Xian'er is the youngest, but in my opinion, he must be the most promising one in the future. If the princess is willing, I can be a lady and enlighten Xian'er .”

Xiao Xian laughed, knowing the elegance of the string song, although she was not very worried about the future of her son Ye Luxian, but with the words of the woman in front of her, Xian'er would always go much easier.

The husband's emotions towards the woman in front of him were extremely complicated.

First, this woman will become the glue between the great Liao and Han families, allowing these people to follow her husband and become her husband's greatest support.

Secondly, this woman's elder brother and second elder brother are both unborn geniuses. In the future, Daliao will launch a war to unify the world. These two people may be the decisive factor.

Three, this woman's talent and appearance are the top choice, compared with him, I am really at a disadvantage in every way, even if I put aside the above two points, I am afraid that my husband also likes this woman.

"Do you hate the prince?" The woman on the sick bed didn't have too many scruples, but asked straightforwardly.

Xiao Chuo smiled: "Princess, is it that important to hate or not?"

Xiao Xian sighed: "It's still very important. Sometimes, it's much better to fall in love with each other than to respect each other as guests."

"Respect each other as guests, maybe it will last longer!"

"Maybe!" Xiao Xian nodded, then turned to the maid and said, "Let Xian'er come in."
