When Yelvxian woke up, he found himself in a strange place, a bright and spacious room, lying on the fire bed, his whole body was warm, dispelling the coldness in his body.
He wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but his tired and weak body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he could not move.
The noise he made alerted the maid Li who was dozing in the corner.
The girl hurriedly handed over a glass of warm water.
Yelvxian said hoarsely: "Is this Xinzhou Wucheng?"
Wucheng is Zhangjiakou, and the names of Khitan and Central Plains are different.
Yelu Xian vaguely remembered that Yelv Pode fought to the death of the rear of the palace, and he fled westward under the protection of Nu Li, and then met Xiao Hunian and Xiao Talin's rescue team.
Then I don't remember anything.
Thinking of Yelu Pode, I asked, "How is Uncle Yelu?"
Seeing that Yelu Xian was fine, Nvli replied happily: "King Yelu only suffered a few wounds and is not seriously injured. On the contrary, the young master was in a coma for three days, which made the king and the villain very anxious."
Yelu Xian chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it's all an old problem. Just rest for a few days and it'll be fine."
He said and fell asleep again.
For two days in a row, Yelvxian was in and out of sleep. When he woke up, he drank medicine and porridge.
It was not until the third day that I could get out of bed and walk.
On this day, Yelvxian met Xiao Hunian, who had caused the East Khitans to be in a state of turmoil.
Xiao Hunian is dressed in military uniform and has a heroic appearance.
Yelvxian couldn't help but praise after seeing it: "The women of the Xiao family really deserve their reputation."
Not long after the founding of the Khitan Kingdom, there were only several generations of Empress Xiao, but from the beginning, the Empress Dowager Shu Luping, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Sage were all outstanding.
Looking at Xiao Hunian now, Yelvxian couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Hunian also said: "You are still the same. Lambs are stronger than you and are like chickens."
She paused and said: "Weak chicken! So that's where the word comes from!"
Of course she knew Yelvxian.
As a direct descendant of the Xiao family, his future husband is destined to be from the Yelu royal family, and he will be the heir to the previous few in line.
If Yelv Bishe hadn't usurped the throne, one of the three sisters would have become Yelv Xian's princess.
Yelvxian was very energetic and was not angry. He just smiled and said, "How about Emperor Luo of the Central Plains?"
Xiao Hunian was caught off guard by this question, with a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "Very, very good."
Yelvxian understood the idea and joked: "It's really good to be able to tame the most beautiful female eagle in Khitan...ahem..."
Xiao Hunian sat down at the table in the middle of the room, forcibly changed the subject, and said: "I'm not surprised that King Yelu came to surrender. Yelv Bishe's fear of the old minister is obvious. I'm surprised that you came. I remember Dad
I have let it slip that you are very ambitious, and the Khitan may prosper in your hands, but my father has certain promises for you."
There was a bit of sadness in Yeluxian's eyes.
The Khitan inheritance system is extremely chaotic, but he is indeed the apparent candidate for the crown prince.
If it weren't for the butterfly effect caused by the emergence of Luo Youdu, Yelvxian's succession to the throne would have been a matter of course.
Yelu Xian said with a wry smile: "Time is not with me, so why force it." He paused and said, "It is undeniable that the emperor Uncle Yelu did a good job."
"snort!"
Xiao Hunian said disdainfully: "Just him?"
Naturally, Xiao Hunian would not have a good look towards the person who killed his father.
Yelvxian smiled and said: "Of course, it's really not comparable to the one in your heart."
Xiao Hunian emphasized: "It's far from it!"
Yelvxian nodded and said: "I have never met Emperor Luo, but I have been familiar with his methods for a long time and have a deep understanding of them. As these two countries compete, in addition to economic and military affairs, Emperor Luo's various methods of attacking the weak enemy's heart are really worth mentioning.
People are hard to guard against. I am a Khitan prince after all, and he is full of yearning for the culture of the Central Plains. Let alone others? If the Khitan court does not react, disaster will be imminent. But once they react, they will create panic and even cruel officials.
, to rectify public opinion and harm the dignity of the court. No matter what you choose, it will eventually cause internal instability."
Xiao Hunian was confused when she heard this, but she could sum up the meaning of this passage: It's just her own man who is awesome, and that's enough.
Xiao Hunian was in a happy mood and said: "Then what are your plans? With your body, you won't be able to go to the battlefield. I don't care for idlers."
Yelvxian said: "Don't we need literati in Mrs. Xiao's army? She is not talented, her writing skills are not bad, and she has a certain level of arithmetic. The multiplication and division methods of the Central Plains are well understood. As a scribe, I ask myself whether I am competent."
"No!" Xiao Hunian shook his head and said, "I can't see through you, so I don't dare to use it. Who knows what you have in mind."
Yelvxian covered his mouth and coughed, and said: "In that case, I'll trouble Mrs. Xiao to send me to Bianjing and see if Emperor Luo dares to take me in..."
Xiao Hunian stood up and said: "That's it. After you take good care of yourself, I will send someone to take you to Bianjing."
She said that and left without looking back.
Xiao Hunian left the inn, came to his residence, and wrote a letter to Luo Youdu. In the letter, he explained Yelvxian's identity in detail and ordered someone to rush to Bianjing.
Luo Youdu gave Xiao Hunian direct access to Tianting.
After all, we have made a covenant, and the correspondence between you and me is indispensable. How can we let the officials of the council read it?
Blatantly abusing a dog is offensive to morals.
When Luo Youdu received the letter, he was reviewing the year-end summary reports of Liangzhou, Longyou, and Hehuang.
These are the administrative results of the local government throughout the year, which are summarized and recorded in files by the local leader.
There will be similar summaries in all state capitals across the country, and these summaries will also be one of the materials used by the Ministry of Personnel to count the achievements of officials and arrange promotions.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people would be bold enough to falsely report the truth. At this time, the imperial court's supervisory censor will come in handy.
Every year, the imperial court would arrange for supervisory censors to conduct regional inspections and unannounced visits from time to time to check the conduct of officials.
Wu Desi will also act randomly according to Luo Youdu's whim.
In terms of official administration, Luo Youdu has always been very strict.
He believed in the policy of high salary to support integrity. Only court officials who have money in their pockets will not take advantage of petty gains.
If you don't be greedy for small gains, you won't get stuck deeper and deeper, leading to greed for big gains and becoming a corrupt official who harms the people.
Of course, this method can only be avoided as much as possible, but cannot be completely eliminated.
There has never been a completely clean court in the past dynasties, only a few.
But Luo Youdu would never tolerate such people who were greedy for personal gain even when their salary was sufficient.
There is a shortage of people in Jiaozhi, and those who are in slightly worse conditions are thrown into Jiaozhi and recycled.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret message from General Xiao."
Luo Youdu had a smile on his face. Xiao Hunian had done a good job in the north, and the effect was better than he imagined. He had to write a disgusting letter to encourage him.
He opened the letter casually, blinked a few times as he looked at Yelvxian in the letter.
