back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 459
The next day, Yelu Hongji held an early court ceremony in Kaihuang Hall as usual.Speaking of which, the Liao Kingdom has completely inherited the system of the Central Plains Dynasty. The daily routine early dynasty system and Muxiu are actually more similar to the Central Plains Dynasty than Dashun. Some countries in Central Asia and West Asia even regard the Liao Kingdom as regarded as China.There is no way, in order to win over literati, Taizu Dashun proposed a humane system of one court every five days, which was postponed on festivals.Being an official in Dashun, as long as the expenses are not too high, is completely comfortable and easy.After all, the subordinate staff have already done the tedious government affairs.

But these comfortable and happy days are over.Since the little emperor of Dashun announced the implementation of the New Deal, the subordinate officials have transformed into tenth-rank officials who "sit on an equal footing" with these civil officials.Gone are the days when subordinate staff did all the heavy work in the past.Now the chief officials of each yamen have to deal with a lot of affairs, and they are simply too busy.If it wasn't for the subordinate officials, oh no, if it was the tenth-rank officials who helped them do something, I am afraid that the performance test in the next year will not meet the promotion standards of the Ministry of Officials.

If these chief officials knew the word "exploitation", they would definitely scold Lu Chengqi as an exploitative capitalist, desperately squeezing their value.

They didn't even think about it. Compared with the officials of the Liao Kingdom, they couldn't have been more relaxed.At least not having to go to court every day, this is the biggest advantage.During the ten-day Muxiu, you can also visit relatives, drink with friends in restaurants, and discuss poetry and prose together...

This person, with comparison, can he understand how beautiful the previous life is.But the little emperor is so determined to carry out the New Deal that no one can persuade him.Those officials, big and small, have been full of mistakes and omissions since they took over the work of the former subordinate staff.Especially the officials of the household department, when they were originally studying, they were serious about subjects, and they thought that arithmetic was not worth the effort and was not worth the effort.As a result, the accounts are often miscalculated, and even in the night battle, they may not be able to calculate them.After only half a month, most of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs have several strands of gray hair.

If they saw Liao officials still living in such a chic way, they would definitely be envious.Since the morning court is open every day, there are no major issues that can be discussed in the court.Yelu Hongji was sitting on the high throne, seeing the lifeless appearance in Kaihuang Palace, he was also bored for a while, and said: "There is nothing to play? If you don't have anything, you can retreat. It's really boring. It's not interesting to go out to hunt! "After that, I couldn't help yawning.Even if Yelu Hongji was in his prime, he should be overdrawn after being squeezed by Concubine Hui for several consecutive nights.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Yelu Yixin, the co-prefect of the North Court and Deputy Privy Envoy, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of hunting, I heard rumors that there was a big insect on the Prince's Mountain. It is like snow, with black eyes and black forehead, tall and strong like a bull, with steel teeth and tail like a steel whip, it hurts several hunters, and cannot be caught..."

Before he finished speaking, Yelu Yixin caught a glimpse of the gleam in Yelu Hongji's eyes, as if he was already eager to try.Tiger, I have seen many wolves on the grassland, but this is really the first time I have seen a tiger.According to the hunters, except for the tigers in Changbai Mountain, the tigers on the grassland have not been seen for some years.Now there are rumors on Mount Taizi that there is a tiger, and it is still a white tiger. How amazing is that!Yelu Hongji had seen tigers before, but they all had yellow fur, so it was nothing unusual.But the ones with white fur are rare.According to the words of the Han people, this is a spiritual beast representing the West. Because the West is gold and white in color, it is called the White Tiger.And it just so happens that it is late autumn, and now that the white tiger appears, doesn't it mean that if you hunt it, you will be a powerful person?

There is also the implication of the white tiger, which is to kill in the west, and Dashun is to the west of Liao. Doesn't it mean that after hunting it, Daliao will be able to defeat Dashun?Yelu Hongji was familiar with Han culture, and he understood the truth in a moment of thought.Before he could speak, Yelu Zhongyuan jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, don't go hunting!"

Yelu Hongji looked at the imperial uncle, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Emperor uncle, why can't you go hunting?"

Yelu Zhongyuan said solemnly: "Your Majesty only hunted once a few days ago, and the court has been abandoned for a few days. Since the founding of the Khitan Taizu, it has rarely been like this. Your Majesty should put the state affairs first, and the hunting should be put aside for the time being... ..."

Seeing this, many people thought Yelu Zhongyuan was crazy.How could you give up such a rare opportunity?
In fact, this is the brilliance of Yelu Zhongyuan.He knew that he and Yelu Yixin were incompatible, Yelu Yixin proposed hunting, Yelu Zhongyuan naturally couldn't agree.And Yelu Hongji was partial to Yelu Yixin, so naturally he didn't take Yelu Chongyuan's words to heart.This move not only put aside his suspicion of treason, but also forced Yelu Hongji to go hunting even if he didn't want to.

Besides, even Yelu Chongyuan knew the meaning of the white tiger, how could Yelu Hongji not know?How could Yelu Hongji, who is familiar with Han culture, refuse the temptation of the white tiger?

Sure enough, Yelu Yixin said: "Uncle Huang is worrying too much. Our Daliao Dynasty builds a country with bows and horses. If we don't hunt, how can we show our strength?"

Yelu Hongji quickly continued the conversation and said: "The privy envoy is right. Uncle Huang, I hunted for the sake of Daliao! The meaning of the white tiger must be known to the uncle Huang. Hunting a white tiger can be said to be like a tiger with wings! Dashun, how can he be my opponent in Daliao?"

Seeing this, Yelu Chongyuan's party finally realized that it turned out to be a trick to advance and retreat, which is really clever!At first I was sweating for him, such a great opportunity, why did Yelu Zhongyuan lose his mind?

Yelu Zhongyuan said angrily: "That's just hearsay, how can it be accurate?"

This sentence can be regarded as scolding Yelu Hongji.With Yelu Hongji's mind, how could he accept it calmly?Immediately, he turned his face and said: "I have made up my mind, don't say anything more about the emperor's uncle. That's it, retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Yelu Hongji got up, walked away with a straight face.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, Yelu Yixin and Yelu Chongyuan were originally incompatible, and it was reasonable for them to fight for the sake of fighting.But why did the emperor's uncle change suddenly this time and become a "loyal minister who died admonishing"?

Yeluliang, the magistrate of the South Court, frowned, and followed the officials out of the Kaihuang Palace, still feeling that something abnormal must be caused by a demon!It's just that he couldn't figure out where the "demon" was for a while.

As for Yelu Chongyuan, he exchanged a look with Xiao Hujian, and everyone knew it.Yelu Zhongyuan tried his best to suppress his excitement, his acting skills have successfully deceived Yelu Hongji, it can be said that half of the success has been achieved!Now he is eager to know if Yelu Nerugu brought the tribal soldiers to lie in ambush at the foot of Mount Taizi.Although he maintained an angry expression on his face, it was noticeable, but there was a trace of self-satisfaction hidden in it.
