Chapter 591 The way of government is the way of checks and balances
Yelu Chenghui is more valued by Su Yonglin than Yelu Yuanyi, and he is also the most favored person among the courtiers of the entire foreign clan. Yelu Yuanyi naturally thinks that Yelu Chenghui knows more.

However, Yelu Chenghui really didn't know the significance of Su Yonglin's series of actions before that.

Just out of a little understanding of Su Yonglin, he has some ideas.

"The sound of the wind doesn't count, but have you forgotten what the general said during the spring plowing?"

"Heaven moves forever, does it not exist for Yao, nor does it perish for Jie?"

"That's right, that's a famous saying in "Xunzi". Although "Xunzi" is also a Confucian classic, it is not a Confucian classic in the scope of the imperial examinations. I heard that Song people never liked "Xunzi", but generals did not The famous saying of Xunzi is used to refute the spring ploughing sacrifice, and it is conceivable that the general has already had an idea about this."

Yelu Yuanyi thought for a while, and then asked: "You mean that the general will make some changes to the content of the imperial examination during the imperial examination? For example, add the relevant content of "Xunzi"?"

"It must be the case, don't worry, if you really take the test in the original way, it won't be long before the whole court is filled with scholars from Shandong. How can we people be the opponents of those Han scholars when we talk about Confucian classics?"

Yelu Chenghui smiled self-deprecatingly: "From the founding of Daliao to the end of the country, only Yelu Dashi was the only one of the Khitan Scholars. Now even if the general allows us Khitans to study and take the imperial examinations, how many years will it take for a Khitan Scholars to appear? Woolen cloth?

Don't say we Khitans, Xi people, Bohai people, if we don't have the promotion of generals, can we pass the imperial examinations and get to the top?Even the Han people in Yanyun were far inferior to the Shandong people in the imperial examinations. Who wouldn't worry about them? "

Yelu Yuanyi thought for a while, and felt that Yelu Chenghui was right, but he was still worried.

"You are right, the general must have the general's consideration, but in any case, let's do something? We have all fought against the general before. It didn't end well."

"If the general wanted to kill us, he would have already killed us, so why keep us until now? Besides, we are fighting against the general for justice, not selfishness. It is a matter of course to surrender after the defeat. It has been done since ancient times, so why panic?"

Yelu Chenghui shook his head and said: "And the way of government is the way of checks and balances, the general's power is mainly in the army, the general lack of assistants in the government and government, and can't let the Shandong scholar family dominate, he will definitely find ways to use me and others to check and balance the Shandong scholars. people.

And unlike the Han people, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the Han people must be the dominant force. The Han people have many forces and each other, each has its own way of living. If we want to survive, we can only move closer to the generals. Only the generals can be our backing, and the generals must be also know this. "

Yelu Chenghui said this, Yelu Yuanyi suddenly realized, nodded again and again, indicating that he completely understood.

He mainly served as a military officer in the Jin Kingdom and did not have a deep understanding of political affairs. In this regard, he still needs a lot of advice from political veteran Yelu Chenghui.

Only with such a great god can we do a good job in politics.

After a while, Mi Yuan and He Si, who were serving in the Military Affairs Department, were also notified to attend the meeting, and Li Baocheng, who was working in the Finance Department, was also notified to attend the meeting.

The three of them saw Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi, and they got close together.

Although they are not an ethnic group and each has their own customs and habits, they are not Han Chinese. This common point can unite them, who are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and political power, and form a group to deal with the political power of the Han people.

Su Yonglin treats them well and trusts them. They are given relevant positions according to their official positions and expertise in the Jin Dynasty, and they are also given leadership positions. They are not dissatisfied.

However, after receiving the notice of this secret meeting, they also realized that the current situation was about to face a major reshuffle.

Who can occupy a high position in the future and seize the opportunity is still unknown.

As foreigners, they were quite embarrassed in front of Han courtiers, and it was difficult for them to fight alone.

Without a group, it is impossible to survive.

Among them, Yelu Chenghui was the one with the highest status and the first to know Su Yonglin and put himself under his command.

Although Yelu Chenghui was also a prisoner at the beginning, he was equivalent to a foreign elder in Su Yonglin's camp, a big man who could often be called by Su Yonglin to his side to discuss state affairs.

At this stall, of course, you must worship the pier in advance to recognize the boss, and lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

They gathered together, and there were many people around Kong Zheng. The two sides disliked each other, and there were faint sparks in the air.

Just when these two groups of people hugged each other and didn't like each other, the third wave came.

Yanyun Han, former Jin Guoyan and iron envoy, current financial secretary Langzhong Huo Jianbai.

Lengjie, the former imperial court servant and the current criminal justice judge.

The former governor of Jizhou in the Jin Kingdom, and the current agricultural secretary of the Chinese and Korean shillings.

Hou Liangzhe, the former governor of Ruzhou and the current public works secretary.

These people came in a group. I don't know if they met outside or they were in contact with each other. They were already breathing. When they came in, they were talking and laughing.

The leader of the group was Huo Jianbai, the financial secretary. After he came in, he saw Yelu Chenghui, so he took the initiative to talk with Yelu Chenghui for a while, and talked about some things that were not good, and brought up some unnutritious topics. Back to their respective teams.

They have something in common. They also belong to the category of insufficient numbers and insufficient background, and they had fierce hostilities with Su Yonglin. At the same time, they both live in the Yanyun area, and there is no geographical difference.

The distinctions between nations and between regions are particularly blurred in this era.

Although both belonged to the Han people, the separation of time and region brought a contradiction and confrontation between the Han people in Yanyun and the Central Plains that could not be resolved for a while and a half.

Yanyun Han bureaucrats looked down on the cowardice and lack of martial arts displayed by the Central Plains Han people, while the Central Plains Han people and doctors looked down on Yanyun Han people's sloppy style, thinking they were dirty and not elegant at all.

So the two sides often conflict.

For example, when the problem of spring ploughing occurred before, the priests led by Kong Zheng very much hoped that Su Yonglin could hold spring ploughing sacrificial activities according to the tradition. At that time, Huo Jianbai was the main person who opposed Kong Zheng and supported Su Yonglin.

Kong Zheng said that he hoped that Su Yonglin would respect the tradition and reassure people.

Huo Jianbai sang the opposite of him, saying that using the money from the sacrifice to build water conservancy is the best way to appease people's hearts.

The food in the stomach is the most real thing, everything else is empty!
Kong Zheng felt very dissatisfied and debated with Huo Jianbai. Huo Jianbai was not to be outdone and confronted Kong Zheng tit for tat.

Of course, in the end, Su Yonglin ignored Kong Zheng and instead praised Huo Jianbai for paying attention to practical issues and did not comment on Kong Zheng, so Huo Jianbai won this battle of hearts and minds.

Huo Jianbai was very proud of this, and often satirized Kong Zheng as an elm head, not knowing how to work around it, and Kong Zheng obviously hated it.

That's good. There is a contradiction between the two sides, which is a good thing for Yelu Chenghui and others.

That is to say, they have conflicts, so that the Han people of Yanyun can have a good relationship with their Khitan people. If these Han people crowd together and squeeze them out, they will probably not be able to withstand a few rounds of blows, and they will have to kneel and sing and conquer.

Even if Su Yonglin pulls a side, because Su Yonglin himself is Han, and the number of Han people in the Central Plains is the absolute majority, he can't abandon the basic plan of Han people for their group of foreigners, unless his head is broken.

Therefore, in the stalls that are about to be established in the new dynasty, the political alliance between the foreign clan and the Yanyun clan seems to be a matter of course.

Correspondingly, they all look down on each other with people from Shandong.

Huo Jianbai and Kong Zheng looked at each other, then continued to talk to the people around them as if they didn't see each other.

Huo Jianbai will never have any alliance with Kong Zheng.

Of course, Kong Zheng will not seek mutual understanding with Huo Jianbai.

The two of them were secretly looking for each other's weaknesses, and were wary of what the other party might gain from this round of power shuffling.

But no matter what, this enemy, they have already decided between them.
