Chapter 8 Why don't you want to live in China forever and ever?
Chapter 8: Aiming to Conquer the Ten Kingdoms: Why don’t you want to live in China for the rest of your life?
Seeing everything going on in Bianjing, Yelvxian became even more curious about the Emperor of the Central Plains, who was suffocating the Khitans, and felt an urgent need to meet him in his heart.
Nuli looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but said: "I heard about the prosperity of Bianjing in the Central Plains when I was in Beijing. I just thought that no matter how prosperous it is, how much better than Linhuang Mansion? Only when I came to Bianjing in person did I know
What is prosperity?"
Luo Youdu did not make Yelvxian wait any longer.
He was also very curious about Yelvxian's purpose of coming. It was hard to imagine that a person like Yelvxian would abandon the Khitan and come to the Central Plains.
On the second day after Yelvxian arrived in Bianjing, he was summoned by Luo Youdu.
Luo Youdu did not receive Yelvxian in a place like Zichen Hall where foreign guests were received. Instead, he called him to Yanhe Hall where he worked and received ministers.
Luo Youdu looked at Yelvxian who walked in lightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Yelvxian was different from what he imagined.
He thought that since he was a person whose name would go down in history, he should have his own characteristics.
But the first impression was quite mediocre, just like a random scholar caught on the street. Apart from his pale face and morbid appearance, there was nothing special about him.
Yelvxian took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Yeluxian, a common man, has met Emperor Luo."
When Luo Youdu heard what he called himself and what he called himself, he chuckled and said: "Grass people? Grass people of which country?"
Yelvxian said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Of course he is a grassroots citizen of China."
Luo Youdu asked: "Then which country am I the emperor of?"
Yelvxian continued: "Of course he is one of the emperors of China."
Luo Youdu raised his eyebrows: "Is there another emperor?"
Yelu Xian said: "Of course not in your eyes. You are sitting in the Central Plains. As the emperor, you cannot tolerate the existence of others in your eyes. The common people are different. In the past, Han Yu once said, 'Those who come from Yi and Di to China are from China, and from China.
Those who are barbarians will be barbarians. Li Jing in the south of the Yangtze River, Meng Chang in Bashu, Liu Chengjun in Hedong, and even the Khitan emperor, in the eyes of the common people, can all be called the emperor of China."
Luo Youdu asked: "Where are you now? Li Jing? Meng Chang? Liu Chengjun? Where are they?"
Yelvxian continued: "Since the beginning of the Qin Emperor, the world will be unified. Your Majesty's command has led to the unity of the six states and the coexistence of the nine states. This is naturally the result of great talents and great strategies. But this does not mean that these three people have not served as
Live like the Emperor of China."

"It's interesting!" Luo Youdu smiled and nodded: "But compared to Han Yu's words, I think Mencius's words are more in line with my heart. Use Xia to change Yi, and I have never heard of anyone changing Yi to Yi."
He is not an extremist. He can accept Central Plains culture influencing the world, but he cannot accept Di Yi using their culture to influence Central Plains culture, and then says that this is Central Plains culture.
Culture can tolerate and absorb advanced things, but it cannot degenerate.
Luo Youdu stood up, looked down at Yelvxian, and said: "I can accept the Khitan people, but I do not recognize the Khitan emperor."
Yelvxian remained silent, only bowed his head and coughed muffledly.
He 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 his position as emperor.
Luo Youdu looked deeply at Yelvxian and said: "Since I learned about you in Nantou, I have been guessing what your intentions are? Why did you abandon the Khitan and come to the Central Plains? Today I understand that you came to the Central Plains to give to the Khitan
Seize the last glimmer of hope. You have seen through the future. If you stay in the Khitan, the Khitan will have no chance of winning. On the contrary, if you leave the Khitan, the Khitan will still have a glimmer of hope."
Yelvxian's face changed slightly, and 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 it seems that the common people are also chess pieces in the hands of your Majesty?"
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 and ruined my overall situation, forcing me to change my plan."
Yelvxian took a deep breath.
As Luo Youdu said, Yelvxian's choice to leave the Khitan was to gain the last meager hope for the Khitan.
As the first heir to the throne, Yelvxian was initially ambitious.
The appearance of Yelvbishe shattered Yelvxian's ambition.
Yelvxian saw very clearly that Luo Youdu had emerged in the Central Plains, and his unification was inevitable.
Khitan has been divided and can no longer be in chaos.
If there is further chaos, the mistakes of the Turkic Jieli Khan will be repeated.
How strong were the Turks back then?
Starting from Khitan and Shiwei in the east, and ending in Tuyuhun and Gaochang states in the west, Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Gui, and Wang Shichong, even in the early Li and Tang Dynasties, they had to live with the Turkic breath.
Controlling a million strings, the Rong and Di are so powerful that they have never been seen in ancient times.
However, due to internal strife and a natural disaster, Li Tang was easily destroyed.
Although there were powerful people like Li Jing and Li Ji, it was always internal factors that gave Li Tang an opportunity.
Yelu Bishe's style of conduct is not tolerated by senior ministers.
Yelvxian understood that even if he did nothing, these veterans would find him and take him out, thus splitting the Khitan, which was already greatly weakened, into two.
Yelvxian thought that this was an inevitable factor in the development of the situation. Only now did he realize that someone was pushing it step by step.
Yelvxian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is thinking about the city, and the common people admire him. Even so, if you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please."
Luo Youdu said: "Why should I kill you?"
Yelvxian said: "The common people have spoiled the great plan of your Majesty, shouldn't they be killed?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "It's good to use tricks to win, but if you don't achieve success, it won't affect the final result. It's just that the process will be simpler. Being able to jump out and let go is your ability, and I still appreciate it very much.
. I’m just a little curious. Why do you still have to suffer this when there is an easier way? If Hu Nian hadn’t rescued you in time, you might have died on the road.”
Yelvxian said: "I am not willing to die easily, not to mention whether it will cause trouble in the future. In the eyes of your Majesty, the common people are barbarians. But why don't the common people not want to live in China for the rest of their lives? Watch the contention of a hundred schools of thought and chant
The Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and feel the heritage of thousands of years of brilliant culture?"
He looked back at the outside of the palace and said, "Being able to set foot in the Central Plains is enough for my wish...ahem!"
Luo Youdu asked: "Have you really fulfilled your wish?" He said jokingly: "I copied the Confucian library, collected ancient books from all over the world, and gathered them in the Huaxia Library. In the future, I also plan to sort out the world's books and periodicals and compile a set of canons.
.You don’t want to take a look at the future?”
Yelu Xian's face twitched together when he heard that. He looked up at the Emperor of Central Plains, hesitated for a long time, and said: "The common people only have one wish, but when you come to the Central Plains, there are so many thoughts, how can you be willing to do so."
Luo Youdu opened his hands and said loudly: "That's it. As the emperor of China, I am in charge of the world. There is no reason why I cannot tolerate Yelvxian."
