Fu Song

Chapter 261
Slowly turning the handle, several hares strung on the iron braze were bubbling with oil. The oil dripped on the fire, and red flames rose up one after another.Yelujun carefully sprinkled the spices in the bottles and jars on the golden meat, and then brushed it evenly with a small brush.With his movements, the fragrance overflowed.

"Teacher, this meat is extra fragrant when you roast it yourself." Yelujun smiled and said, "Even if the emperor's royal chef roasted it, it doesn't taste as good as roasting it yourself."

Lin Jing laughed loudly: "It's more of a sense of accomplishment to do it by yourself, and the desire for appetite is second."

"The teacher is right." Yelujun took out a knife, cut off the fattest part of the rabbit piece by piece, put it on a small plate, and handed it to Lin Jing. "Teacher, try my craft."

Lin Jing took the plate with a smile, but his eyes fell on those small pots, "Now you can't get tired of fine food, and you can't get tired of fine meat. You didn't care much about these things before."

"Teacher, I'm a Jinshi now!" Yelujun smiled and took the rabbit that had just been sliced ​​into the plate in front of him, but threw the other ones to the Wanyan starling who just swallowed his saliva. The voice is also too loud. "Speaking of such delicacy, compared with my teacher, I am nothing compared to the big one."

"You kid, you can tease the teacher!" Lin Jing smiled.He is from a large Han family in the Liao region, and he has been clothed in rich clothes and jade food since he was a child. The exquisiteness in his family is no worse than those in the Song Dynasty. "However, lord, you are the first royal family in the mid-term examination after Daliao had the Jinshi examination, and the first high-ranking heir who is qualified to aspire to the throne."

"The teacher was a tester back then, and the senior was also a tester. Before the student I took the exam, I also wanted to try my best. If I really want to win, it's an elegant thing to be a tester in one subject. Unfortunately, the students are still a little weaker. It's really a pity!" Yelu Jun shook his head repeatedly while gnawing on the bones.

"It's already pretty good." Lin Jing said with a smile: "My lord, you can figure it out now, why did I insist on you studying hard a few years ago, and try to get a Jinshi?"

"I've figured it out a long time ago, otherwise, how could I be willing to put in such hard work!" Yelujun smiled and looked around, Wanyan starling immediately stood up with a roasted rabbit in his mouth, took a few steps outside, and then He gnawed the rabbit with one hand and held the knife with the other. Whenever someone came a little closer, he would immediately open his eyes and hum a few times.

"Teacher, take this hunting as an example. The people who came with me are very different. The Han family and the children of officials accounted for more than half!" Yelujun said: "When they came with me, I hadn't tested Zhongjinshi is just studying with you! But in their eyes, I am a person who is very different from the Liao royal family in the past."

"To be precise, they think that you who have read the book will not be as stern as other people!" Lin Jing said bluntly.

Yelujun raised his eyebrows, "Teacher, with all due respect, our Liao people's ideas may not be wrong. Over the years, our Daliao people have always dominated the Song people, and more, we still rely on our toughness." combat power."

"How long can this kind of fighting power last?" Lin Jing stared at him, and said, "Don't talk about other places, just talk about the Nanjing Road you led. When it comes to fighting power, aside from the Jurchens, who is more powerful, the Han people or the Liao people? Stronger? It is the Han army! They are more organized, more specific and collective, and they are better commanded.”

Yelujun fell silent.

"Barbarism can only dominate for a while, and civilization can last forever!" Lin Jing raised his head, looked at the fiery sunset on the other side of the sky, and said, "Look at the inheritance of Song people, and you will understand. From the beginning of Qin Dynasty, Liu Han, Li From Tang Dynasty to Zhao Song Dynasty, there have been twists and turns and ups and downs, but the Han people have passed it down from generation to generation, and each generation, the Han people will give birth to a powerful dynasty. What about the Khitan people? Lord, have you ever thought about it? Will the Khitan people still exist after dozens or hundreds of years?"

"So we need civilization!" Yelu Jun said in a serious voice: "But what we want is not the civilization of the Han people!"

Lin Jing laughed loudly: "My lord, if you want the civilization of Khitan, you have to wait for you to take that seat, and then figure out how to integrate all kinds of civilizations on the vast land. This is a Great cause, if you can accomplish it, you will be the unique king in this world, and your name will go down in history forever.”

"That's exactly what I want to do!" Yelujun clenched his fists.

"But before that, you need to get more support. Now the Han people in the Liao region have regarded you as a leader, and you naturally know how strong they are." Lin Jing smiled and said: "As for the Liao people, You are also the object of adoration by the young heroes of the Liao Dynasty, because you can bring them military exploits. The prospects are bright. In this battle for the throne, you have undoubtedly taken the lead and possessed an unquestionable leading edge."

"My uncles won't be reconciled!" Yelujun laughed.

"Daliao's succession to the throne has never been so peaceful." Lin Jing spread his hands, "However, the succession in blood and fire will further stimulate the victor's sense of accomplishment and prestige."

"I still need the teacher to plan for me."

"Of course!" Lin Jing looked at Yelujun in front of him, his eyes were full of pride.

Daliao officials are divided into two parts. The northern court is dominated by Khitan people. The military power is mainly in the hands of the northern court. The northern court basically follows the emperor to travel around throughout the year. The Nabo system of spring, summer, autumn and winter allows the Liao state to control them The vast expanse of land.The Nabo system, to put it bluntly, is a nomadic system, a parade of force.Whoever refuses to accept it will be destroyed.

The South Court is dominated by Han officials. They mainly govern the place for the Liao emperor, formulate laws and regulations, and govern the people in the four regions.

There has always been a dispute between the North and the South in the Liao Kingdom.The Khitan people are the main ethnic group in the Liao Kingdom, and they hold the military power, so they naturally feel that they are superior, and they look down on the Han people in Liao, even the Han officials in the South Court, they have always been out of their eyes.

In the eyes of the Han people in Nanyuan, the Liao people are synonymous with being strict and barbaric, and they don't know how to govern a country at all.

The conflict between the North and the South has a long history.

Of course, the Emperor of Daliao was more inclined to his own family, but he also knew that if there were no Han officials from the South Court to govern the region, Daliao would probably be in chaos.Therefore, balancing the northern and southern courts has always been an important issue for the emperor of Liao.

But after hundreds of years, this situation is slowly changing.

As Lin Jing said, the power of civilization is slowly emerging after a country has been established for a long time.

As the superiors, the Liao people can get everything easily. The two invincible corrosive agents of power and money are sliding the Liao people into the abyss step by step.However, the Han people in Liao, who have always been oppressed, are slowly rising.

The power of the Han family in the Liao region has formed a huge force.The most representative sign of the ebb and flow of these two forces is that the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of the Han family is surpassing that of the Liao army. The combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of some top families is comparable to that of the Pishi army .

After these Liao Han people had knowledge and wealth, they were gradually reaching out to the military power. This was exactly what Lin Jing had planned many years ago to get Yelujun to reach a consensus with these people and gain their support.

As a sober person among the Liao people, Yelujun is also very clear that the Liao people need to make drastic reforms, otherwise the Khitan clan will really cease to exist in dozens or hundreds of years.

Now we are going to fight against the Han forces in the Liao region. Although we still have the advantage in power, the people of Song are the happiest when the civil war comes together. However, the Han family in the Liao region will naturally lead the way at a critical juncture.

And if you want to reform, you must shed blood, whether it is the blood of the Liao people, the blood of the Han people, or both.At that time, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably face a period of weakness.

Yelujun was sure that after he sat on the throne, he would definitely do this, it was for the eternal foundation of Daliao.

But before doing so, he had to put the Song Dynasty in a period of absolute weakness.

When the two tigers are dying, they have no strength to interfere with other people's affairs.

For this purpose, Lin Jing, Lin Ping, Yelujun, and Yeluzhen who are still on Nanjing Road have been planning for several years, and now, it has finally entered the harvest period.

The plan is being implemented step by step smoothly.

"Teacher, I don't understand something." Yelujun looked at Lin Jing and said.

"I know what you want to ask!" Lin Jing smiled and said, "You want to ask me, as a Han in Liaodi and a Han family, knowing that after you succeed in power, it will weaken the strength of the Han family, why do you want to help me?" right?"

"Yes! Master is too powerful. If I don't ask clearly, I will always feel uneasy." Yelujun said frankly.

"I also want to build an empire that is the foundation of all eternity!" Lin Jingdao: "But I also know very well that once the power of the Han family is strong enough, their ambitions will immediately breed. At this time, they will become the source of turmoil. , only weakening and integration. My lord, what I seek is the strength of the empire, not the strength of the family, nor the strength of a certain tribe. Only when you have achieved this can you truly talk about integration, and be qualified to be the foundation of all ages. In order to be like the Han people, no matter what kind of upheavals they go through, they will still rely on their civilization to build great empires one after another. If this is really achieved, then even after many years, Daliao is destroyed, but It won't be long before the inheritors of Daliao will build an equally great country on top of the ruins. My lord, if this is done, you and I will be remembered for generations, not just in the history books. Leave a simple sentence on the paper, no more than one page."

Holding the wine glass, Yelujun completely forgot to drink and just looked at his teacher dully.

He never thought so far, he just wanted to win those competitors, become the emperor of Daliao, and then work hard to defeat Song and rule the world.

But what Lin Jing said was something else entirely.

But there is no doubt that what Lin Jing said was something greater than his defeat of Song State to rule the world.

In this world, there is no immortal country.

Yelujun not only reads books, but also reads them very deeply, and he is a person who has achieved results.It is naturally clear that no matter how powerful a country is, it will eventually disappear one day as time goes by.Countries like the Great Song and the Great Liao that have lasted for hundreds of years but still maintained a strong state are quite rare in history.

Perhaps, it is precisely because these two countries are enemies, compete with each other, and promote each other that they can maintain a dynamic balance. If one family really dominates, it may not be far from extinction.

"Teacher, the brother's plan in the Song Dynasty has achieved a major breakthrough!" Yelujun came back to his senses, and pulled his thoughts back to the reality in front of him. What the master said was very tempting, but it was What happened after I became the emperor, but now, there are more important things to do.

Things can only be done one by one, and the road can only be taken step by step.

"So, the country of Song is going to be in chaos?" Lin Jing asked with a smile.

"No big accidents, it should be like this!" Yelujun nodded and said: "So this year's Zhengdan Envoy, I must fight for it, and Master will help me plan more."

"Since Bianliang is going to be in chaos, it will be dangerous for you to go to Bianliang." Lin Jing frowned.

"It's precisely because of this that they don't dare to touch me, and I'm safer!" Yelujun said: "First, I want to see the Bianliang of Song Dynasty in person, and second, I also go to welcome my brother back. Teacher , Bianliang is stable, the senior brother can hide to ensure safety, but if it is really messed up, the rules will not exist, then the senior brother may be in danger, but as long as I go there, I can ensure that the senior brother returns home safely .”

Lin Jing glanced at his disciple, and said indifferently: "Three times, is it because of that little girl from the Xiao family!"

Yelujun laughed loudly: "Master knows me. Once this incident starts, the Xiao family will not be spared. At that time, I want to bring this girl back."

"Don't forget, her elder brother is Xiao Ding and Xiao Changqing, Yeluhuan is having a headache now, and Xiao Ding is looking for trouble with him right now!" Lin Jing said.

"The person I want, even if his elder brother is the Heavenly King Laozi, he can't stop me!" Yelujun raised his glass and drank it down.

"That girl is not easy to get along with. She is indeed talented, but a talented person is also arrogant." Lin Jing said: "It is even more difficult to tame a daughter of a family like this."

"That will give you a sense of accomplishment!" Yelujun said: "Teacher, somewhere, I always feel that this woman will be of great help to the great cause I am going to do. I can't explain the reason, although I only saw her So one side, but that's how I see it."
