Fu Song

Chapter 414 No one's life is easy
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chuo, who stepped into the warm pavilion with a cold wind, smiled and bowed to Yelujun who was reviewing the memorial.The eunuch Wang Jien, who was serving Yelujun, dared to come over and took the cloak that Xiao Chuo took off.

Yelujun put down his pen, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "It's hard work, it's freezing, and you've been traveling outside for nearly two months."

"Sharing worries for you is a matter of duty!" Xiao Chuo said as he sat leaning on the edge of the soft couch.

"How do you feel after taking this trip?" Seeing Wang Jien casually serving Xiao Chuo a cup of steaming fragrant tea, Yelujun smiled and said, "Drink something to warm your viscera first."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Xiao Chuo said: "The national treasury is empty and the military equipment is slack, but the military states below are all fat and strong, and each of them is rich and rich. Your Majesty, this time we have solved the three military states. In the military state, at least this year's military salary and rewards for the Pishi military year festival will be settled."

"Money is still a secondary issue." Yelujun said thoughtfully.

"That's right, money is still secondary." Xiao Chuo shook his head: "What's more serious is that the combat effectiveness of the tribal armies below is not worth mentioning. It's only been a year, but against the upper tribal army, it was completely ruined. In the first battle, the two thousand palace troops also rebelled with the tribal army. Under the repeated attacks of Qin Min and Wanyan Yujian, they did not survive a single pillar. fragrant."

Yelujun let out a long sigh: "These companies are still focused on doing something. Their armies are all like this. It can be seen how the combat effectiveness of other military states that are just passing by and only thinking about life. We Daliao look at it from the outside. It looks glamorous, and it is the largest country in the world today, but in reality, it has been decayed for a long time. Compared with the Song Dynasty, it is really a pair of brothers and sisters.

"Since Your Majesty has ascended the throne, this situation will naturally change. How can the Zhao family and his sons of the Song Dynasty have such courage? Every day in the future, we will get better, and they will be worse. It won't take long for the two families to separate completely!" Xiao Chuo said.

"That's not necessarily true!" Yelujun smiled and waved his hands and said, "When we entered the city, Ben'an should have given you a brief introduction, right?"

"Guizhou Road is going to be established in Song Dynasty." Xiao Chuo nodded.

"Your second brother is really amazing." Yelujun said: "In such a situation, he unexpectedly turned the tables, but after retiring for more than a year, he returned to the stage again. To be honest, when I saw this When I got the information, I was really taken aback, the twenty-five-year-old comforter along the way!"

"I really didn't expect it!" Xiao Chuo didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic.

"Xiao Cheng is rectifying the Southwest." Yelujun frowned slightly, and said seriously: "In the past, Guizhou Southwest, Luo's Ghost Kingdom, and Luo Dianguo could only be regarded as vassals of the Song Kingdom, including the Yang family of Bozhou, the Tian family of Sizhou, and the Song State. In fact, they are still guarded against them, they will not be able to help the Song State, but will involve the energy of the Song people. But now, it is quite different."

"Your Majesty is worried that people from Song Dynasty will come ahead of us?" Xiao Chuo sneered. "Zhao's father and son don't talk about him, but only talk about the few people in Dutang today. Xia Jie can also be regarded as a paper poster. No such ability. Luo Song is capable of doing things, but he is a typical kind of man who is quick to plan without making decisions, unable to support the overall situation. Cui Ang needless to say about him, having this person in the capital of the Song Dynasty is a blessing to my Daliao. Chen Gui of the Privy Council, as the leader of the Song State's million-strong army, is indecisive. He knows the problems of the Song State's army, but he is helpless. Do you know which way the gate of the barracks opens? With the old rules in place, you can barely support them. Once the old rules leave and let Li Guang be the head of the privy council, it will be good if the Song army does not mutiny."

Hearing Xiao Chuo's harsh comments on the current powerful officials of the Song Dynasty, Yelujun couldn't help but smiled and said, "If they heard what you said, they might be so angry that they would vomit blood. But in my opinion, today's Hebei Road Ma Xing is not bad, and the border ministers along the southeast coast are also quite unique in governing the region."

"If the brain is sick, what's the use of other places?" Xiao Chuo said disdainfully. "Your Majesty, when King Jing was here, how sharp were the frontier troops of Song State? But once King Jing left, what about the tens of thousands of frontier troops on the Hebei Road?"

"Song State's tens of thousands of frontier troops, coupled with local Xiangjun, village bravery, and regiment training, are enough to organize hundreds of thousands of troops. At the beginning, it was a headache for me. After several years of planning, I just wanted to shock this stumbling block, but in the end It was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who helped me a lot!" Yelujun laughed triumphantly, he was able to sit in the current seat, but this time the meritorious deeds have been attributed to him.

"So, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the State of Song at all. Now we just need to do our own thing well." Xiao Chuo said.

"But I'm worried about your two older brothers!" Yelujun said, "At first, I thought that your elder brother would fight with Song Guo to the death and fight to the death on Shaanxi Road, so that I would have a chance to take advantage of it. But your elder brother has Gao People, they beat the Song people hard on Shaanxi Road, but in the end they were able to abandon the fertile land, turned around and retreated to the north of Hengshan, and stopped the war with the Song people. Such actions are not something ordinary people can do. "

"It's nothing more than that. With his current strength, it is no problem to establish himself as a king and build a country on his own, but he was born not to do so, and now he is still carrying the banner of the commander in chief of the Song Dynasty's western march." Yelu Jun smiled wryly: "If he proclaims himself king, he will become a deadly enemy with the Song State. Now that he is like this, it has given the Song people unlimited room for imagination, and it has also allowed me, Daliao, to still pay great attention to him. .His army is not as easy to deal with as the Song people."

"As far as I know, elder brother is heading west all the way, and he won't have the energy to pay attention to my Daliao for at least five years." Xiao Chuo said indifferently: "Whether it's the old place of Tubo or the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, it's enough for him to keep busy. .For the Western Army, it is only necessary to ensure sufficient surveillance now."

"Back then, Xiao Ding's three-way plan to attack me in Daliao was extremely ruthless. Now the middle road has been broken by us, but the west road is like a sharp knife, directly pressing against our waist, making people It's really uncomfortable, but for a while, we still have nothing to do with him, not only can't turn against him, but we have to be careful to win him over."

"Didn't Lin Ping go? He has clever means, and he might be able to make great achievements for Daliao and convince the elder brother!" Xiao Chuo said.

Yelujun's eyes flickered, but he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Chuo's hand: "Lin Ping is my trusted confidant, and also my senior brother."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say anything." Xiao Chuo shook his hands and broke free from Yelujun's hand, and said bluntly: "In the current situation, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not touch him, but when the Song Kingdom is destroyed, we will When will he start dealing with his Lin family, His Majesty can tell him so."

Yelujun laughed a few times, knowing Xiao Chuo's temper, but he stopped trying to persuade him.

As long as we can help each other in the present moment, it will be fine.

Wait until the Song Dynasty is really destroyed in the future, and then come to have a headache.

"Now that your second brother is running the south for the Song Kingdom, it is something that you have to pay attention to." Yelujun continued: "The south is rich and rich. Over the years, it has always been the granary of the Song people. According to intelligence, the army your second brother built in the southwest is quite as splendid as your elder brother's."

"Based on my understanding of the court of the Song Dynasty, even if the Guizhou Road is established and the second brother becomes a pacifier, they will try their best to restrain his hands and feet." Xiao Chuo walked to the side of the Nuan Pavilion and looked at the wall. Facing a huge map, he pondered for a while before saying: "Since Your Majesty is so worried about him, we might as well find something for him, so that his energy will always be involved in the southern affairs, and he is too busy solving these things to fully develop. ?”

"what do you mean?"

"Dali, Jiaozhi and other places!" Xiao Chuo poked his finger on the map: "You might as well send talented people to go south with money, sneak into these places, encourage them to form an alliance with our Daliao, and promise to carve up the Song Dynasty with them in the future. Convince them and let them move in the south, and the second brother will definitely be in a panic."

"Wonderful! I knew you had a solution!" Yelujun clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "But you have to find someone who can speak well."

"Why don't we let Lin Ping go. He's coming back from Xingqing Mansion soon, right?" Xiao Chuo said abruptly.

Yelujun laughed: "Queen, just now you said that before the Song Dynasty was destroyed, you didn't care about Pingzhi, why did you throw him to the south in a blink of an eye? Now at the critical moment, after Pingzhi returns, I am going to let him take over as the southern leader. courtyard."

Xiao Chuo snorted, but stopped talking.

"Tell me, if I invite your second brother to come to Daliao to build a great cause together as a prince, will he come?" Yelujun asked, "Listen to what you have always said, your second brother doesn't treat me very well in Daliao." Like the rest of the Song Dynasty people regard me as a barbarian, since he also regards me as a part of China, is there any difference between serving Song and Liao?"

"Don't discriminate, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can agree." Xiao Chuo shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if he really came, I'm afraid you will only raise him with high-ranking officials and rich salary, and dare not give him half of the real power?"

Yelujun laughed, but did not refute.

"A person like my second brother belongs to the master who shines brightly when given a little sunshine." Xiao Chuo said: "Besides, he has never been optimistic about Daliao's system. According to him, Daliao's current system will eventually become an obstacle. An obstacle to the progress of Daliao."

"Daliao's system of northern and southern chambers is the foundation of Daliao's prosperity! For hundreds of years, it has been running smoothly. There have indeed been some problems in these years. It's not that I haven't thought about combining the two into one, but carefully Come to think of it, if this is really the case, the Song Kingdom has not yet collapsed, but we have collapsed." Yelujun shook his head and said, "I really want to take this step, just as you said, we can only do it after the world is unified. Now, there is absolutely no way to move."

"My subordinates are really worried!" Xiao Chuo said: "Right now, we can only take care of the symptoms, first enrich the country and strengthen the army, and unify the world, and then concentrate on this matter when there is no other distraction. At that time, there will be no strong foreign enemies, so naturally we can concentrate on it clean up the interior."

"I called you back this time because I am going to restore our Daliao four-season Nabo system!" Yelujun said: "Father has been sick for a few years, and the four-season Nabo exists in name only. The reason for the tribe's presumptuousness is that starting from next spring, the Nabo will be opened again, and wherever the palace is, it will naturally be able to deter all directions, and at the same time it can also rectify the army, and there is no need for you to run around outside all the time."

"Your Majesty, what did I suggest to you about the construction of Zhongjing?" Xiao Chuo said, "Build Zhongjing as the new capital, control the four capitals with Zhongjing as the core, and use it as the core area of ​​our Daliao. The Nabo system can revitalize the army. Wu, but the construction of Zhongjing allowed us to have a real political center and economic center in Daliao. Just like Bianliang in the Song Dynasty, it will be useless to destroy the Song Dynasty without going to Bianliang."

"You handle this matter!" Yelujun laughed.

"Really? Give me all the power?" Xiao Chuo's eyes widened.

"All powers to you!" Yelujun said, "But there is one thing, the construction of Zhongjing cannot delay my revitalization of the palace and the division of the army, and military expenses cannot be embezzled."

"Of course not!" Xiao Chuoxi said: "Army is the foundation of a country, how can I not know the importance? If you do a good job in building the city, not only will you not lose money, but you will also make money!"

"This is the first time I've heard of this. I've only heard that building a new city is a waste of money and people. It often causes some big accidents that are hard to deal with. It's amazing that it can make money!" Yelujun was stunned.

"This is something that the second brother told me." Xiao Chuo took a light breath: "I was also very strange back then, so I pestered him to ask how to make money instead of losses, but I didn't expect it. It can be used to build Zhongjing, Your Majesty may go next spring, and when you come back in winter, Zhongjing must already have a large scale."

"Really, you are my hero of Daliao." Yelujun said.

"As long as those old officials in the North Court stop scolding me behind my back." Xiao Chuo said flatly.

"When you build Zhongjing, these people will admire you so much that they will no longer dare to speak nonsense. At that time, there will still be people talking nonsense, and they will be killed!" Yelujun laughed.

Xiao Chuo stood up with a smile, ready to leave.

But Yelujun took her hand, with a look of sadness on his face, he said: "If you and I can have a child, I will definitely make him the crown prince. At that time, your elder brother will be fine, and your second brother will also be the prince." Well, is there any reason not to help my nephew? But the world is tricky! Nothing is perfect in this world, God is jealous that I have you, and deliberately made me regret it!"
