Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 581 Why don't you want to live in China forever?

Looking at everything in Bianjing, Ye Luxian became even more curious about the emperor of the Central Plains who overwhelmed their Khitan, and felt a sense of urgency to meet him.

Seeing all the people coming and going, the woman couldn't help but said: "I heard about the prosperity of Bianjing in the Central Plains when I was in Shangjing. I just thought that no matter how prosperous it is, how much better than Linhuang Mansion can be? Only when I came to Bianjing in person did I know. What is prosperity."

Luo Youdu didn't make Yeluxian wait any longer.

He was also very curious about Ye Luxian's reason for coming, it was hard to imagine that someone like Ye Luxian would abandon Khitan and come to the Central Plains.

On the second day after Ye Luxian arrived in Bianjing, he was summoned by Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu didn't receive Ye Luxian in a place like Zichen Hall, which receives foreign guests, but called him the Yanhe Hall where he received ministers in his office.

Luo Youdu looked at Ye Luxian who stepped in lightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yeluxian was different from what he had imagined.

He thought that since a person with a long history, he must have his own characteristics.

But this first impression was quite mediocre, just like a scholar who was caught casually on the street, except for his pale and sickly face, there was nothing special about him.

Ye Luxian took two steps forward, bowed to him and said, "Ye Luxian, a grassroots man, has met Emperor Luo."

When Luo Youdu heard what he called himself and what he called himself, he smiled lightly and said, "Grass people? Which country are grass people?"

Ye Luxian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Naturally, they are grassroots people in China."

Luo Youdu asked: "Then which country is the emperor?"

Ye Luxian continued: "Naturally, he is one of the Sons of Heaven in China."

Luo Youdu frowned: "Is there another emperor?"

Ye Luxian said: "Naturally, in the eyes of your lord, you don't have it. You sit in the Central Plains, and as the emperor, you can't tolerate the existence of others in your eyes. The grassroots are different. In the past, Han Yu once said, 'If the barbarians and the Chinese are the same, then the Chinese are the same, and the Chinese are the same. Those who are barbarians are barbarians. Li Jing in Jiangnan, Meng Chang in Bashu, Liu Chengjun in Hedong, and even the Khitan emperor are all Chinese emperors in the eyes of the grassroots.”

Luo Youdu asked back: "Now? Li Jing? Meng Chang? Liu Chengjun? Where are you?"

Ye Luxian continued: "Since the beginning of the Qin Emperor, the world is bound to be unified. Your Majesty has made the Six Concordance Style, and the Nine Provinces have a common style, which is naturally the result of great talents. But it does not mean that these three people have not served as the leader. Passed the emperor of China."

"Interesting!" Luo Youdu nodded with a smile, "But compared to Han Yu's words, I think Mencius's words are more in line with my heart. I have never heard of anyone who uses Xia to change barbarians."

He is not an extremist. He can accept that the Central Plains culture influences the world, but he cannot accept that Di Yi uses their culture to influence the Central Plains culture, and then says that this is the Central Plains culture.

Culture can tolerate and absorb advanced things, but it cannot deteriorate.

Luo Youdu stood up, looked down at Yeluxian, and said: "I can accept the Khitan people, but I don't recognize the Khitan emperor."

Ye Luxian remained silent, just saluted and coughed in a muffled voice.

He also didn't expect to be able to really convince Luo Youdu.

If Luo Youdu could really agree with his point of view, he would not be able to secure the position of emperor.

Luo Youdu looked deeply at Yeluxian, and said, "Ever since I found out about your Nantou, I have been guessing what your intentions are? Why did you abandon Khitan and come to the Central Plains? Today I figured it out, you came to the Central Plains to give Khitan Gain the last chance of life. You have already seen through the future, if you stay in Khitan, Khitan has no chance of winning. On the contrary, if you leave Khitan, Khitan still has a glimmer of hope."

Ye Luxian's complexion changed slightly, he looked up at Luo Youdu, with a trace of fear in his eyes, he did not object to Luo Youdu's words, but said calmly: "So, Caomin is also a pawn in the master's hands?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "That's right..." He said, with a bit of sternness: "It's just that you jumped out of the chessboard, ruined my overall situation, and forced me to change my plan."

Ye Luxian took a breath.

As Luo Youdu said, Yeluxian chose to leave Khitan to win the last hope for Khitan.

As the first heir to the throne, Ye Luxian was initially ambitious.

The appearance of Yelu Bishe shattered Yeluxian's ambition.

Ye Luxian saw it too clearly, there was a Luo Youdu in the Central Plains, and the trend of unification was inevitable.

The Khitan has been divided and there can be no further chaos.

Any further chaos will repeat the mistakes of the Turkic Jieli Khan.

How strong were the Turks back then?
From Khitan and Shiwei in the east to Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Gui, and Wang Shichong, even in the early Li and Tang Dynasties, had to live with the Turks on their backs.

Controlling strings and millions, Rong Di is extremely strong, unprecedented in ancient times.

However, due to internal friction and division, coupled with a natural disaster, Li Tang easily destroyed it.

Although there are people like Li Jing and Li Ji who are powerful, it is always because of internal factors that give Li Tang an opportunity to take advantage of.

Yelubi's style of conduct cannot be tolerated by veteran officials.

Ye Luxian understood that even if he didn't do anything himself, these old ministers would find him and get him out, thus splitting the already weakened Khitan into two.

Ye Luxian thought this was an inevitable factor in the development of the situation, but only now did he realize that someone pushed it step by step.

Ye Luxian smiled wryly: "Your Majesty's mind is in the city, and the grassroots admire it. That's the case. If you want to kill or cut it, it's up to you."

Luo Youdu said: "Why did I kill you?"

Ye Luxian said: "Shouldn't the grassroots have ruined His Majesty's plan?"

Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "It's good to use tricks to win and succeed. If you don't succeed, you won't succeed. It doesn't affect the final result, but the process will be simpler. It's your ability to jump out and let go. I still appreciate it very much." .Just a little curious, there is an easier way, why do you have to suffer this? It wasn’t because Hu Nian was rescued in time, you probably died on the way.”

Ye Luxian said: "If you die easily, not to mention whether it will cause future troubles, I am naturally not reconciled. In the eyes of your lord, the grass-roots people are barbarians. But why don't the grass-roots people want to live in China forever? See the contention of a hundred schools of thought, chant The way of Confucius and Mencius, feel the heritage of the millennium brilliant culture?"

He glanced back outside the hall, and said, "Being able to set foot in this Central Plains is my wish...cough cough!"

Luo Youdu asked: "Is my wish fulfilled?" He jokingly said: "I copied the library of the Confucius family, collected ancient books from all over the world, and gathered them in the Huaxia Library. In the future, I plan to sort out the books and periodicals of the world and compile a set of ceremonies together." .You don't want to see the future?"

Ye Luxian's face was twisted together when he heard that, he looked up at the emperor of the Central Plains, hesitated for a while, and said: "The grassroots only have one wish, but when they come to the Central Plains, they have a lot of thoughts, how can they be willing."

Luo Youdu opened his hands.He said loudly: "That's it. As the emperor of China, I sit in the world, so there is no reason why I can't tolerate a Yeluxian."
