A knife in love

Chapter 1979
Just now Wang Xiaoyu was scolded by Li Qiufeng sternly, she was terrified, and hid behind Murong Danyan, daring not to speak.Until Murong Danyan spoke, Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, although Daxia Li hates me for interrupting the old lunatic, he has always been polite to Sister Murong, so naturally he would not reprimand her.If I say a few words, I think he loves Wu Jiwu, and he won't open his mouth to reprimand him.Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu became more courageous, poked his head out from behind Murong Danyan, and said: "This is not a skill. Old Linggong Yang and his seven wolves and eight tigers also captured Khitan The people fled everywhere. As long as there are no fools and treacherous officials to obstruct them, the Han people will not be afraid of the Khitan people."

Feng Wei glanced at Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu, shook his head, and said in his mouth: "After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Khitan people are already full-fledged. It is not easy to defeat them. Li Cunxu is brave and good at fighting. Knowing how to use soldiers, whether it is conquering the Liang Kingdom or destroying the former Shu, it is like destroying the dead. Moreover, Li Cunxu has many powerful generals under his command, and each of them can be on his own. If it wasn't for Li Cunxu's complacency later, he was too proud and obsessed It is not difficult to exterminate the Khitan because of singing opera and worshiping actors and eunuchs."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, not to mention the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, even in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the Sibari would not dare to compete with the Central Plains.It's just that the continuous internal strife among the Han people gave these barbarians an opportunity to take advantage of.If there is no civil strife in the Central Plains, where will there be a catastrophe in the Central Plains?The Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, and Tartars have harmed the Han people for thousands of years, nothing more than taking advantage of people's danger.Although he succeeded for a while, he was eventually driven out of the Central Plains.The old villain Liu Sheng wanted to overthrow the Han people, but in the end he could only fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Feng Wei continue: "After Li Cunxu died, most of his warriors died in civil strife. Although Li Siyuan, who became the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, was not as brave as Li Cunxu, he was able to defend Youyun Sixteen. It is not difficult for the state to protect itself. Yelu Abaoji sent troops to attack Youzhou several times, but he did not take advantage of it. In desperation, he had to temporarily hold back his ambition to go south and train troops in Saibei to wait time of day.

"Yelu Abaoji was training troops in the north of Saibei, waiting impatiently for another civil strife in the Central Plains, so that he could lead his troops to conquer the south and rule the world. However, Li Siyuan was dignified and treated others generously, and he was quite supported by his officials and common people. All businesses in the Central Plains were flourishing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. , Khitan wanted to take advantage of the chaos and go south, but there was no chance.

"Yelu Abaoji was very disappointed. Apart from military training in Saibei, he had nowhere to vent his evil spirits in his spare time, so he could only use his best to give birth to a son. After a lot of trouble, several wives of Yelu Abaoji gave birth to nine children for him. He had six sons and six daughters, but a few of them died, and finally they survived and grew up with four sons and one daughter. Among them, Yelu Abaoji's eldest son Yelubei was the most favored. This son was smart and studious since he was a child, and Yelu Abaoji won Yelu Abaoji's favor. He was loved and highly valued by him, and he was established as the crown prince very early. Although Yelubei was a Khitan, after he was born, there was a great Han who taught him to read and write, recite the Four Books and Five Classics, and study military books and war strategies. His surname is Han. , whose name is Yanhui, was the founding hero of the Liao Kingdom, and finally became the prime minister, with power over the world..."

Before Feng Wei could finish speaking, Wang Xiaoyu shook his head and rushed to say: "Are you wrong? There is no such thing as Han Yanhui, it is obviously Han Yanshou! This person is not a Han, but a general of the Liao army. Xuanhua big axe, strong martial arts. It's a pity that I met Liulang Yang Yanzhao, and Han Yanshou was defeated and fled every time on the battlefield."

Wang Xiaoyu interrupted Feng Wei's conversation, but Li Qiufeng didn't say anything.Although he has read some history books, his knowledge is limited, and he really doesn't know Han Yanhui's name.However, like Wang Xiaoyu, he had also heard that Mr. Shu told the story of Han Yanshou, so even though he was suspicious, he did not stop Wang Xiaoyu from speaking.

Feng Wei showed a surprised expression on his face, and said in his mouth: "I have never heard of Han Yanshou. This Han Yanhui is very remarkable. Without his help, the Khitan people might still be fishing and hunting in Liaodong, being bullied by others. There will be the later Liao Kingdom. Although this person was an official in Khitan, he still had a conscience, and he did not propose to attack the Central Plains for the Khitans. During the period, because he missed his hometown, he secretly ran back to the Central Plains. Constantly. Han Yanhui had to take his family back to Khitan to avoid military disasters. Yelu Abaoji valued Han Yanhui's literary talent, not only did not punish him, but made him the teacher of Prince Yelubei.

"Under Han Yanhui's precepts and deeds, Yelubei is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has extraordinary literary talents. He admires the Confucianism of the Han people in the Central Plains. After he became a prince, he built a Wanghai Hall, which means admiring the Central Plains on the other side of the sea. Yelubei also sent people to the Central Plains to buy tens of thousands of volumes of books, all of which were stored in the Wanghai Hall. In his spare time, he went to the Wanghai Hall to read. When he was young, he knew the Yin and Yang, the five elements, the rhythm of the Han people, and he was also proficient in Medicine, the art of Bianstone-stone needles, writing and Danqing kung fu are also very good. Later he got a "Yin Fu Jing", as if he had found a treasure, not only could he memorize it backwards, but also translated this sutra into Khitan characters. Most of them have benefited greatly from this "Yin Talisman Classic."

Hearing what Feng Wei said, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, thinking to himself that Yelu Beigui was the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, and it was not unusual for him to ride a horse and shoot arrows since he was a child, and he was able to practice horsemanship with a long spear and a big halberd.But Feng Wei said that he practiced sorcery, isn't it too weird?How can there be a prince of a country who does not read the Four Books and Five Classics, but goes to study magic?

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Feng Wei continue: "It is said that Yelu Abaoji once discussed state affairs with the ministers. He asked the ministers, since I am the king who is ordered, I should serve the heavens and worship the gods. Therefore, I intend to sacrifice A sage who has made great achievements and is admired by the world, in order to teach the common people to fear the heavens and not to worship evil spirits and enter the way of demons. If the country establishes the rules of sacrifice, which sage do you think should be ranked first?

"The Khitan people first lived in the bitter cold of Liaodong, and lived by hunting and fishing. They neither knew how to weave cloth nor the art of medicine and stones, so they often suffered from severe diseases in hot and cold weather. There is a sect in Liaodong called Shamanism, which teaches It is said that the shamans who gave water to the wizards can cure diseases. In order to survive, most of the Khitan people believed in Shamanism. Later, Khitan became stronger, conquered many countries in the Western Regions, and believed in Buddhism again. When Yelu Abaoji became the emperor, Buddhism spread in the Liao Dynasty. The status of the country is extremely high, and most of the court ministers and their families believe in Buddhism. After Yelu Abaoji finished speaking, all the ministers said that the Buddha is the most wise man and sage in all ages, and he should be ranked first.

"At this time, the prince Yelubei who was standing aside said that the world said that the Buddha has great supernatural powers, but no one has ever seen him show the means of saving people. But Confucius is a great saint respected by all ages. Confucianism ruled the world and educated the people with the words of Confucius. Therefore, the ministers thought that if they offered sacrifices to saints and sages, Confucius should be the first.

"Yelu Abaoji was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately issued an edict to build a Confucian temple in the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Every spring and autumn, the crown prince Yelubei led hundreds of officials to the Confucian temple to pay homage to Confucius. Yelubei was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he was also a great minister of the Liao Kingdom. He is supported by the common people. If one day he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, with the assistance of Han Yanhui and other capable ministers, it will be even more difficult for the Later Tang Dynasty to fight against the Liao Kingdom."
