Fu Song

Chapter 582
Dengxianlou is the property of Luhesheng's Sun family.

In fact, it is the property of the Empress Dowager Chengtian, and the Sun family is just a housekeeper of the Empress Dowager.

The Sun family on Nanjing Road who was bullied and nearly wiped out, became the most popular family in Daliao for more than ten years because of a woman.

Politics, military affairs, and economics, the Sun family is advancing in three ways. Looking at the world, such a combination is rare and rare.

Sun Jucai, the patriarch of the Sun family, is the Empress Dowager's small treasury and the controller of all businesses.Leaning against this big tree, the Sun family said that they are rich, which is to underestimate them.

The eldest son, Sun Chun, was a Jinshi in high school, and later became the most powerful adviser around the Queen Mother. Although he is only a fifth-rank Chengfeng Lang now, according to some well-informed people, Sun Chun will definitely be in the political reform this time. One of the six plays occupies an important role.

The second son, Sun Pu, was good at martial arts since he was a child, and joined the Shan army. He fought south and north for more than ten years. Now he is the commander of the capital and one of the most important generals in the Shan army.

Because Yelumin tortured and murdered the Cui family in Chenqiaoyi, and Ling Chi Cui Ang, the world was terrified, the scholars looked sideways, and the queen mother was furious. It was said that the queen mother smashed his head when they met. Min was exiled to the bitter cold land in the north.

After Yelumin left, the one who stayed behind to lead the Shan army and protect the queen mother became Sun Pu.

The Empress Dowager was stationed at the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, with [-] Shan troops to protect the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and it was said that Sun Shu was the general who led the [-] people.

Do you think such a family is enough to attract attention?
Therefore, restaurants like Dengxianlou have not been accessible to ordinary people since the day they were built.

He is not for ordinary people,
He wasn't even for the powerful.

There is only one kind of person who can come here, and that is the rich and powerful.

But even so, it is still hard to find a seat in Dengxian Tower, and it needs to be booked long in advance.

Of course, some people don't need to make a reservation, and they are too lazy to make a reservation.

Just like Yelumin.

"Commander, there are people on the top floor today, you." The shopkeeper bowed like a little boy and trotted to keep up with Yelumin's progress.

"Is someone there? Who is it?" Yelumin stopped in his tracks.

There is only one room on the top floor of Dengxian Tower, but that room is not open to the public, because when that room was opened in Dengxian Tower, the empress of the year and now the Empress Dowager Chengtian came here, so this room can be regarded as Xiao Chuo. It is specially reserved, and only those who are close to Xiao Chuo can enter this room.

But not all of Xiao Chuo's cronies are liked by Yelumin, and if there are those who are close to them, naturally there are those who hate them.

If someone like Xiao Siwen or Lu Ben'an was in that room today, Yelumin would probably turn around and leave.

"It's Luo Xianggong!" the shopkeeper whispered.

Yelumin was taken aback, Mr. Luo?Luo Song!

After thinking for a moment, he continued to move forward: "Old ones, take them to the house. I haven't seen Mr. Luo for a long time, so we can have a few drinks."

On the top floor, the boy in green and eight guards stood on both sides of the door, and when they saw Yelumin coming up, they all bowed down.

The guards were specially sent by Xiao Chuo from the palace to protect Luo Song. In the current Zhongjing City, there are not necessarily fewer people who want Luo Song's life than those who want Yelu Min's life.

Stepping into the door, Yelumin walked directly opposite Luo Song, sat down, reached for the wine pot on the table, and poured it into his mouth.

"Has the general washed his hands?" Luo Song tilted his head and glanced at him.

Yelumin chuckled: "Master, you don't need to talk about the sword, the smell of blood won't fade away if you wash your hands in a certain family, but although you haven't killed anyone with your own hands, the blood splatter on this body is probably worse than that in a certain family." Much more."

Luo Song was not angry, but nodded in agreement: "You are right, so the two of us, let alone scars!"

"There is still a big difference!" Yelumin said: "On the list of traitors made by Xiao Er, a certain family is ranked first, but you, Mr. Luo, are not on the list. Haha, this is the benefit of someone in the court. If there is no Luo San, I think Mr. Luo must also be on the list. In fact, Xiao Er's list should be number one, the Empress Dowager should be the one, haha, hahaha!"

The boy at the door and a group of guards, when they heard this, their faces changed color, and they retreated further to both sides in unison.

Yelumin dared to say some things, but they dared not listen to them.

Because the people who said it would definitely be fine, and those who listened to it might disappear inexplicably anytime soon.

"I'm still different from you." Luo Song sighed, "My crime lies in being in a high position, but I can't work for the country, which eventually destroys the country. I can't work for the people, which makes their family ruined."

"If you are in a high position, you can't appoint virtuous and capable officials, you can't appraise treacherous officials, you can let people with ulterior motives run rampant, and you can let loyal and virtuous officials be killed. Therefore, Mr. Luo, those Song people who hate me should hate you talents even more. Yes. Da Song did not die at my hands, but at the hands of you people." Yelumin said coldly: "If it wasn't for you people who rotted Da Song from the inside to the outside, how could we live in the same place? In more than half a year, they fought all the way to Tokyo?"

"So, when Chen Gui is dead, Xia Jie is dead, Li Guang is dead, and even Zhang Kuo, an incompetent person whom I have always looked down upon, died outside Tokyo." Luo Song drank his wine slowly, road.

"But why are you still alive?" Yelumin said: "You still want to do something, right? The Empress Dowager wants political reform, wants to abolish the current double-faced official system in Daliao, wants to get rid of redundant soldiers, redundant officials, redundant officials, You see an opportunity from it. You know that this will make the internal struggle in Daliao extremely fierce, and more and more people will oppose the Queen Mother. In this way, you can buy enough time for the newly established court in the south to let the They grow up. Therefore, you are uncharacteristically actively offering advice and suggestions to the Queen Mother, and even took the initiative to take the lead in carrying out this political reform at the expense of others, right?"

Luo Song's face changed slightly, and he looked at Yelumin with his wine glass up.

"You know, of course I can't think of these twists and turns. The queen mother told me." Yelumin sneered: "You think you are smart, but the queen mother is much smarter than you imagined."

"If that's the case, why is the Queen Mother still so keen on this matter?" Luo Song asked.

"It's very simple, because Daliao really needs political reform now. Although I don't know much about finance, I can still hear clearly the annual income and expenditure. Daliao's ability to make money is far inferior to that of Song, but Expenditures are not at all inferior, if things go on like this, there will definitely be problems." Yelumin said: "Now, we have wiped out the Song Kingdom, and we have captured a lot of money, which can last for two years with financial resources, and the Empress Dowager's The prestige is at its highest point. If you don’t do this now, you will have no chance in the future. Luo Xianggong, you can’t beat the queen mother, so obediently contribute your talents to the queen mother. When the restructuring of Daliao is successful, maybe you Luo Shi This family can hold high positions in both Song and Liao!"

There was a blush on Luo Song's face, and with a click, the wine glass was crushed in his hands.

Yelumin flattened her mouth: "You scholars have such virtues, and you all think that you are better than others. Hehe, Luo Xianggong, the queen mother gave you a chance to fight her again, don't take it! Otherwise, you The price of being assassinated three times this month is not worth paying."

"How did I hear that you were assassinated no less than five or six times a month, and your life was always hanging by a thread?"

"During this period of time in Zhongjing, I did almost die a few times, but it was very close, it was very small, in fact, it was a thousand miles away. This is mainly because I put a guy with very good skills by my side. The skill of chance is not comparable to those assassins outside." Yelumin laughed.

"You mean Zheng Yu's son Zheng Yong, I thought you would kill him?"

"Don't kill him, this man can keep me calm!" Yelumin said, "Besides, I'm going to the north soon. After I leave, I'll be in the army again. Those assassins outside will never have another chance. Zheng Yong allowed me to never slack off, to work hard all the time, and to walk on thin ice!"

Luo Song turned his head and looked out the window.

Dengxian Tower is built on the top of the mountain.

In fact, this place was originally a plain, and there were no mountains at all.

This mountain was later built up by manpower.

When the Zhongjing Imperial Palace was built, the excavated earthwork and stones were piled up here. After a few years, a mountain was formed, and later the Dengxian Tower was built. Here, it is only slightly lower than the imperial palace, but it is like a mountain in Tokyo. Fan Tower, Fan Tower climbed to the top, and you can even overlook the palace.

Although you can't overlook the imperial palace when you ascend the fairy tower, you can overlook the entire Zhongjing City.

Surrounding the imperial city of Zhongjing, the streets of Fangshi spread out round and round, and the ultimate point of each street is the imperial palace.

The ones closest to the palace are of course the mansions of the nobles and dignitaries. This is always the case. The closer the people to the palace, the ones with the highest status and the most trusted by the royal family.

And on the periphery of these people are military households.

To be precise, it is the residence of the family members of Shan Jun.

Nearly [-] and nearly [-] houses belonged to the military family of the Shan Army, which covered the innermost area.

The periphery of military households is an area composed of countless craftsmen.

Xiao Chuo has been searching for those craftsmen from the Liao Kingdom for these years and moved them to Zhongjing. After breaking down the city of Tokyo, he even captured all the craftsmen from the Song Dynasty who were good enough to go to Zhongjing. , were all placed in these square cities.

A little further outside is an ordinary market composed of ordinary people and merchants.

Zhongjing Dading Mansion is not a city that developed naturally, it was created out of nothing by Xiao Chuo.

As of today, the entire Dading Mansion has nearly [-] borrowers and a population of more than [-]. In terms of scale and prosperity, it has surpassed Linhuang Mansion and Xijin Mansion, and has become the largest city in Liao Kingdom. the largest city.

And in the near future, he will inevitably become the richest city.

Because this place will become the industrial center, business center, and political center of Liao.

Just like the old Tokyo city.

"Xiao Chuo is the most powerful monarch I've ever seen." Luo Song's tone was a little low, "It's so powerful that it even scares me. With the current size and ability of the Liao Kingdom, if she keeps going smoothly like this , I’m afraid Xin Song’s pressure in the south will become heavier and heavier.”

"That's why you want to cause some trouble during the political reform, hehe, you are so careful, can you hide it from the Queen Mother?"

"Since the empress dowager has made a mark, I will naturally make good use of it." Luo Song said: "What if I win? If I win, the vigorous development of the Liao Kingdom will come to an abrupt end, and the empress dowager's prestige will be affected. A huge blow, and the reaction of the failure of the reform will affect a large number of officials, and these people are undoubtedly the right-hand men trusted by the Queen Mother. When these people step down, they will definitely be the opposition."

"The minds of literati are indeed so treacherous!" Yelumin laughed loudly: "Okay, you can do it, what a pity, Luo Xianggong, no matter how powerful you are, you will be tied hands and feet, no matter what tricks you want to play, You have to pass the test of the queen mother. Well, that's what the queen mother said, take the essence and discard the dross."

Yelumin leaned forward, chuckled and said, "Unless you make all the dross, but in this case, you are of no use to the Queen Mother? It is even more impossible for you to have a chance to mess up Daliao? Wrap the dross with the essence , let the Queen Mother be deceived by you, thinking that it is a good policy to benefit the country and the people. Once it is implemented, it will be too late to regret. Well, such a strategy is indeed a bit vicious. But my Lord Luo, your plan will It can't be a copy of Zheng Guoqu from the Spring and Autumn Period, hahaha!"

Luo Song nodded and said: "There is such a possibility, if she really completes the political reform she imagined in Liao Kingdom, completes the great integration of the nation, and makes Liao Kingdom's shortcomings in industry and commerce effectively If you want to add, then this world, I'm afraid it really belongs to her, and I will really be the one who helps the tyrant. But this is my choice, since I'm gone, I won't regret it anymore. "

"If you win the gambling table, you are willing to gamble and admit defeat!" Yelumin shook his head and said, "If it were me, I would never keep people like you around and entrust them with important responsibilities. You people do bad things, and sometimes they do nothing. Shadow is invisible, it is really hard to guard against, and only people like the Queen Mother can deal with people like you!"

"Stepping on the tip of a knife and crossing the Flame Mountain, Xiao Chuo probably likes this feeling very much. In this way, every time she succeeds, her sense of accomplishment is incomparable." Luo Song said: "Actually, she told me that she is now the most What she wants to do is to defeat her two older brothers, especially her second brother. As for the final outcome of the Liao Kingdom, I don't think she cares. The Liao Kingdom is just a tool in her hands."

"Whether the Liao Kingdom is a tool or not is none of my business!" Yelumin raised the wine jar and drank it like a whale sucking a river.
