Chapter 179 Yelu Chenghui doesn't want to rebel
After leading the troops to Xucheng County, Dongping Prefecture, Su Yonglin ordered a public trial meeting and executed Tu Shanjing in front of tens of thousands of people.

Tu Shanjing never imagined that he would be caught and killed by the rebels.

He is the person the emperor believes, he can go straight to the sky, his status is very special, and his power is also very great.

He never thought he would die at the hands of the rebels.

But that's what happened, he died at the hands of the rebels.

The rebels carried him to a high platform and took his life on the guillotine.

At that time, Yelu Chenghui was on the sidelines, his face was pale. When he saw Tu Shanjing's big head slammed to the ground, he was very scared.

Obviously, even if this gang of rebels will eventually be destroyed, they still hold the power of life and death for him.

Not just him, but his family.

Tu Shanjing's family members were all executed at the same time, and the whole family was executed, and no one survived. For him, he was not only himself, but also his family.

So when Su Yonglin was about to recruit him, Yelu Chenghui's mental resistance was relatively weak, and there was even a little surprise.

It's just that Tu Shanjing was killed, but he was alive. Why is this?

Then Su Yonglin lifted his doubts.

"I rebelled against Ginting, against Jurchen, you are a Khitan, not Jurchen, so I don't really want to kill you, if you are willing to surrender, I am willing to use you to fight against Jin, do you want to come with us? "

"I... I am indeed a Khitan, but I am also an official of the Jin Kingdom."

Yelu Chenghui swallowed: "I once dispatched troops to attack the Liberation Army, don't you feel resentful for this?"

Su Yonglin smiled.

"Yelu Chenghui, I ask you, do you feel sorry for the demise of Daliao? Have you ever thought that if Daliao did something right or defeated a certain enemy, it should not have ended up like that? end?"

Yelu Chenghui was silent for a while.

"It's not that I didn't think about it."

"Right, before the Jin people destroyed the Song Dynasty, they destroyed the Liao first. The huge Liao state was destroyed by the Jin state, and many Liao people became slaves. Your ancestors should have surrendered in time, so they got it. A certain status, but seriously, do you really think that's good?
If nothing else, just to say that many noble ladies of the Liao Kingdom were sent to the laundry room for the Jurchen nobles to enjoy as playthings, is this really indifferent to you, and does not feel ashamed at all?Do you really care how many Khitans are treated like cows and horses by Jurchen? "

Yelu Chenghui lowered his head and thought for a while.

Unhappy is of course not unpleasant, but if you really care about it, it's not too bad.

Because his life is still full of glory, wealth, and power, how much money he wants, how much women he wants, and how those people are treated and dealt with by the Jurchen, it is not a big problem for him.

It's just a bit of annoyance at ordinary times.

The reason for the distress is also because those Jurchens like to bully people, and he is a Khitan person, and he is not very confident. In the face of the bullying of those Jurchen senior officials, he can only swallow his anger.

More of his dissatisfaction came from dissatisfaction with his own situation, dissatisfaction with being bullied, and even dissatisfaction with his identity as a Khitan, not how much he had feelings for the Liao State.

If the revolt of the Jin Kingdom is made for this dissatisfaction, it is far more than that.

But if Jin Guo suffered a disaster and it was difficult for him to protect himself, for his own power and status, it was not an impossible choice to send Jin Guo a ride, because when it comes to loyalty, there is not much, and he cares more about himself.

Probably that's it.

However, he did not dare to say such words to Su Yonglin clearly.

"I miss my home country a lot, and I'm also quite dissatisfied with the abuse of Jurchen."

That's all he could say.

"But this dissatisfaction is not enough to make you fight back and restore your homeland, right?"

Su Yonglin looked at him with a smile.

Yelu Chenghui was stunned and did not dare to speak.

"If you don't speak, you will acquiesce. In fact, it's no wonder. I have met a lot of officials like you along the way. When I recruited those Han officials, they also had a lot of people who yelled at me and would rather die than follow me. .

At first I was wondering why, as Han Chinese, they should allegiance to the Jurchen emperor, then I understood that it has nothing to do with Han Chinese or Jurchen, mainly because they are officials and I am a rebel. "

Yelu Chenghui's heart was relieved when Su Yonglin opened the skylight to speak frankly.

"What the general said...is very reasonable."

Su Yonglin laughed.

"That's natural, and I thought that if there was a Khitan-dominated uprising at this moment, your first reaction would not be excitement, not excitement, not feeling that Daliao had hope of restoring the country, but worrying about the Jurchen Emperor Do you suspect that you have something to do with the rebellion?

You are even willing to put down the rebellion yourself to prove that you have nothing to do with it, to prove your loyalty to the Jin Kingdom with the blood of the Khitans to prove that you are different from them. "

Yelu Chenghui was even more surprised.

How can this person see people's hearts so clearly?

Of course, he would not think that it was the hope of Daliao's restoration of the country, but would be terrified, worried that the emperor would suspect that he had something to do with this matter, thus threatening his life.

If necessary, he is of course willing to personally quell the rebellion to prove that he has nothing to do with this matter, and that he is a pure loyal minister of Dajin.

As for whether the other party is a Khitan or a Han, it doesn't matter at all, and it's not worth his consideration at all. He only wants to kill more and build a greater deed, so that he can be truly accepted by the emperor and enjoy the superior power and status. .

"What the general said...is true."

Speaking of which, there is no point in continuing to disguise, so it is better to open the skylight together and speak up.

"So, I didn't think you would rebel because of what happened to the Khitans. Your life is so good, why are you rebelling?"

Su Yonglin sat in front of Yelu Chenghui: "Of course I didn't rebel just because Emperor Jin was not good to the Han people, but I think my rebellion is still necessary, and I don't think my rebellion is likely to succeed. Low."

“How come you see?”

After speaking, Yelu Chenghui became interested in Su Yonglin's statement.

"Because I found a lot of weaknesses in Jin Guo."

Su Yonglin stretched out a finger: "Small clans face a big country, although they have tyrannical force, their population is insufficient, and they are actually quite powerless and vigilant against tens of millions of Khitans and Hans, and they want to do a lot of things, but they just can't trust them completely. Han and Khitan."

Yelu Chenghui lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slightly, expressing his approval.

In the bureaucratic system of the Jin Dynasty, there are many restrictions on bureaucrats who are not Jurchens, such as Han and Khitan people. Whether they are in office or promotion, they are all subject to invisible restrictions and discrimination.

For example, Jurchen can use fewer years to achieve higher official positions or official positions with real power. These official positions are even only open to Jurchen, while Han and Khitan people have to use more years to compete for the very few who can still hold real power. official position.

They rolled up.

And this, everyone is not a fool, many Han bureaucrats and Khitan bureaucrats are dissatisfied with this.

But this dissatisfaction was not enough to arouse their resistance to Jin Guo.Even for some masters of involution, it can arouse their own dissatisfaction and strong disapproval of their Han or Khitan identity.

If you say they are Han Chinese or Khitan people, they will be furious and retort - you are!Your whole family is!

So these people are really poor.

Su Yonglin started from this point.

"Since there is no trust, it is difficult to say that it can be integrated into one, and it cannot be integrated. How can we maintain long-term peace and stability? Relying on tyrannical force to maintain governance, but the force will always weaken. Once the force weakens, it is not To die from internal worries is to die from external troubles.”

Su Yonglin's remarks aroused Yelu Chenghui's disapproval.

"But there is a premise for all of this, that the military force is weakened. If the military force can still be maintained, then the Jin Kingdom can naturally be maintained. How does the general think that the Jin Kingdom's military force has weakened now? In my opinion, the Jin Kingdom's military force is still tyrannical.

The Shandong army is indeed rotten, but the Jin Kingdom is not without real elites. The general must not think that the army of the Jin Kingdom is so rotten after defeating the Shandong army. . "
