Chapter 10 Chaos in the Khitan Government

Upon hearing the question, Wang Jun smiled calmly, took a step forward, and explained to Liu Zhiyuan: "King, this crutch is a bit of a statement. According to Hu Law, only ministers with good qualities are qualified to receive this reward, just like the gift of a few sticks in the Central Plains. Even the Khitan nobles, few people received this reward. Among the Han ministers who served in the Khitan, only King Yan of Yan had received this crutch. On the last time, on the way back north, the city where the Khitan passed, the Khitan generals treated this crutch with polite treatment!"

After hearing what Wang Jun said, Liu Zhiyuan sneered and said, "As for this reason, the Khitan Lord still likes Gu! Should Gu feel honored?"

"Return to the King, at least in the eyes of the Khitan Lord, this is exactly the case!" Wang Jun continued, "The last time he met the Khitan Lord, he praised the King more. He said that when he sent troops to assist Jin ancestors in the Tang Dynasty, he saw that the King was extraordinary. He spoke more affectionately, issued an edict to praise him, and called the King "Son"--"

As the pronunciation fell on the word "er", Shi Hongzhao in the hall couldn't help but suddenly rise up, his face full of anger, as if he was humiliating his minister to die, and shouted: "The Khitan lord was too much. Are you all Chinese lords who recognize thieves as fathers?"

One sentence caused several people here to shout and scold, as if they had really suffered some great humiliation. Liu Chengxun couldn't help but condemn him indignantly. As for Liu Chengyou, he had no statement, but just listened silently.

Liu Zhiyuan's serious face also had anger. At the beginning, he strongly opposed Shi Jingtang's resignation and cedes the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun". The word "ser" was a little stimulating to him. After everyone calmed down, he said disdainfully: "Could it be that the Khitan Lord wants to be his 'sen emperor' again?"

"The Khitan Lord does have this intention!"

"Oh?" Liu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Wang Jun turned his body, pointed to the southeast, and chuckled: "When the last general said goodbye to Bianjing, the Khitan Lord had privately hinted to the last general that as long as the king went south in person, he would make you the new lord of the Central Plains, and he would lead the Khitan army to the north. However, the last general heard in Bianliang that the Khitan Lord had made similar promises to King Zhao Yanshou of Yan and Du Chongwei who surrendered. However..."

As he said that, Wang Jun couldn't help but reveal a sarcasm in his tone: "Before the Mo General returned to Taiyuan, he received the news that the Khitan Lord proclaimed himself emperor and Jianliao. I think what he said to the Mo General was just a perfunctory remark, and the purpose was to deceive the king into Bianliang. Unfortunately, he was too anxious and couldn't wait to sit on the throne of the emperor in the Central Plains!"

"Hmph, even if he can hold back, how could he be deceived by the king with his wisdom and let him deal with it?" Yang Bin was beside him at this time, and then Wang Jun said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan twisted a contemptuous curve of the corner of his mouth. He lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and looked up at Wang Jun: "Wang Jun, you have had a face-to-face conversation with the Khitan Lord. What do you think of the Khitan Lord?"

Facing Liu Zhiyuan's question, Wang Jun pondered for a while, and then said solemnly: "As long as the general sees, the Khitan Lord will be a wise king in the northern country. However, this time he went south to the Central Plains and entered the capital, he made an irreversible mistake!"

"Tell me!" Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and signaled.

Perhaps he noticed that the "playing meat" was coming, Liu Chengyou next to him suddenly became energetic, and his waist was straightened. He looked at Wang Jun, wanting to listen to him telling about the situation in the Central Plains at this time.

Wang Jun coughed twice, and told everyone that he had already made a draft of his belly, "After the Khitan Lord entered Bian, the biggest mistake of the Khitan Lord was to 'rule China with the Hu law'."

He glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, and Wang Jun began to say in detail: "Zhao Yanshou asked to provide food and money to the Khitan army. He originally intended to persuade the Khitan lord to conquer the troops, but the Khitan lord refused because the country had no laws. Later, he let the Hu cavalry go out four times and plundered them in the name of herding horses, which was called "grass valley". In the past ten months, from the east and west capitals and within hundreds of miles of Zheng, Hua, Cao, Pu, and this move was completely lost. This move greatly lost the people's hearts. When he was about to return, what he saw along the way was that the young and the weak were killed by the sharp blades, the old and the weak were entrusted to the gullies, and the people in the Central Plains seemed to be in purgatory, displaced and the sad scene was unbearable."

When he said this, Wang Jun couldn't help but feel a little excited. He took a deep breath and continued: "The Khitan lord Nanping Dajin, in order to encourage Hu soldiers, he wanted to obtain all the national treasury to reward the soldiers. However, after the young emperor's extravagance and years of war, the national treasury was already empty, and how could the remaining wealth satisfy the desire of Taotie of 300,000 Hu soldiers? So, he issued an edict to borrow money from all the officials and people in the city as rewards. However, it was clear that it would borrow money, but there was actually no return. In this way, there was still a shortage. He sent dozens of "money envoys" to the states and captured the people's wealth. The scholars and people were suffering, and they accumulated anger and resentment, and they fought against bulls!"

"It has lost both public opinion and the hearts of the scholars. Zhao Zaili and Liu Jixun's death forced him to stay and see the governors, and sent troops, horses, and officials to station them in their places, but also lost the desire to be a vassal state. Moreover, the Khitan master was afraid of the surrendered Jin army and repeatedly spoke out the words of killing and surrendering. Although he was advised to stop, he wanted to move his parents and family to the north to serve as hostages and threaten to send Jin soldiers. Now the Jin soldiers in the Central Plains are all angry and resentful, and as far as the last generals see, they may start at any time."

"The young emperor and his family went north under dust, and they were not allowed to provide gifts all the way, and they were in a panic and sad way. The old local officials would be sympathetic to him."

"As for the Khitan Lord, he enjoyed drinking from the Bian Palace. He always talked to others and underestimated his people. His arrogance is obvious from this!"

“…”

"The Khitan's harsh political and atrocities are really hard to write about. I can only tell you everything if I don't say a few words. However, I look at the journey northwards, and the people of the Central Plains are in a turbulent mood, and they are on the verge of anger. I just wait for the heroes to turn the world around." After speaking, Wang Jun licked his lips and clasped his fists to Liu Zhiyuan confidently summarized: "The people of the world hope for heroes, just like looking for sweet rain. The king is the hope of the country. If he can raise his troops, the world will definitely follow!"

After listening to Wang Jun's narration, the hall was very quiet, and most of the people were emotional animals. The civil and military officials present were basically angry about the tyranny of the Khitans. Before that, only the abuse of the Khitans was heard, but after listening to Wang Jun's description, they still couldn't help but be angry. Many people showed anger, and the generals clenched their fists.

"The Khitan is a real barbarian! I have tormented my people so much!" Liu Chengxun's elegant face surged with a flush, his expression seemed very indignant, and he murmured.

Liu Chengyou still didn't make a sound, but his autistic face looked even more gloomy.

It did not stop the subordinates from expressing their anger. Liu Zhiyuan sat down for a long time before sighing: "Today I know that the Khitan government chaos is so great! The suffering of life in the Central Plains is so great! The barbarians cannot control China!"

It is not far from Liu Zhiyuan. His long feelings are filled with resentment, but Liu Chengyou feels a hint of obscure excitement from it...

As Liu Zhiyuan spoke, the warm condemnation in the hall gradually became less and less quiet until the atmosphere suddenly became strangely depressed.

At this time, a burly figure stood up, stepped into the center in three or two steps, and knelt loudly and asked: "The Central Plains are in decline, the Hu bandits are tragic, and the world is angry. The king is looking for the world, so he also asks to quickly add the title of honor, the emperor, send troops south to attack the Hu bandits, and relieve the dangers of the people!"

With the leadership of the Hedong civil and military officials present, they immediately stood up to ask for their orders, and the hall quickly knelt down and persuaded them to advance! If we say that in the past, it was for power and wealth and the sake of the dragon's merit. Then this time, everyone can openly hold up the banner of righteousness of "suppressing the rebellion and saving the people".

Liu Chengyou also fell on his knees without any haste. Yu Guang glanced at the person who led the lead - Guo Wei. This guy didn't comment on the last time, but this time, he was ahead of everyone...

This time, Liu Zhiyuan did not respond, and was not angry or happy. He raised his head and looked out of the hall, and looked a little confused when he passed the civil and military officials. After a long time, he looked at Wang Jun who was kneeling in the crowd: "General Wang has worked hard all the way, and I will have a generous reward. Let's go back to my house and have a good rest..."

"As for you, you'll all be separated!" After saying that, Liu Zhiyuan left the seat.
