As expected, Xiao Hongzhu passed by here again, so she actively participated in the conversation.
It is easy to get drunk when a beauty pours wine, let alone Yun Zheng who is in a very unhappy mood.
"The Khitans are a very powerful ethnic group. Being able to expand their territory to the far north is a sign of the Khitans' bravery and tenacity. Especially since you are willing to fight for that barren land, this is even more worthy of respect.
Do you know? If the Khitan tribe uses horses to enter the customs, it will be the end of your tribe. I guarantee that your horses will not get out of the customs!"
Yun Zheng drunkenly took a glass of wine from Xiao Hongzhu's hand and drank it down in one gulp.
"If I had poisoned you just now, would we Khitans be able to enter the border?" Xiao Hongzhu asked through gritted teeth, holding another wine glass in one hand.
"You won't poison me to death, at least not now. As enemies, you have clear goals, are purposeful in your actions, and are extremely rational in your actions.
But allies are different. There are too many examples of people calling you brother but pocketing money, so sometimes allies are scarier than enemies."
Ye Luxin was in awe of Yun Zheng's words. He picked up his wine glass and had another drink with Yun Zheng and drank it all in one gulp. This was a drinking method he had just learned from Yun Zheng, and it was very enjoyable.
"Brother Yun, when you said just now that the Khitan people and horses cannot leave the border, you didn't mean to eliminate them by force? Because there is no such possibility."
Yun Zheng looked at Yelu Xin with a smile and said, "Sure enough, the conversation between men is still interesting. Women always think superficially, like you!"
Xiao Hongzhu pushed away Yun Zheng's dangling finger and pointed it in front of her eyes and asked bitterly: "Then tell me a truth. How can the cowardice of the Song people prevent me, the children of Khitan, from leaving seclusion?"
"The so-called cowardice is actually a relative measure, and the so-called tolerance is actually passive acceptance. This is the truth. You don't need to argue with me.
Let me ask you, when the Han people divided the world during the Zhou Dynasty, what were you Khitans doing? There was no Khitan ethnic group at that time. If I had to find a root cause for you, I think you should be called Quanrong at that time.
!”
Xiao Hongzhu said angrily: "You are the dog warriors! You are the savages riding naked butts!'
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "I am a Han Miao descendant. It is well documented. Your origins are mysterious. Can you tell me who is more likely to become a dog soldier?"
Xiao Hongzhu was choked by this sentence and could not speak.
"A goddess who has lived in the Heavenly Palace for a long time felt the boredom and loneliness of the Heavenly Palace. She drove a green ox cart down the Huangshui River from the plain pine forest. It happened that an "immortal" rode a snow-white BMW and came from the horse bowl.
The mountain followed the Tu River all the way eastward and the horse was reined in. The green ox and the white horse met at Mount Konoha at the intersection of the Huangshui River and the Tu River. The goddess and the immortal scolded the green ox, let go of the horse's reins, and walked towards each other. The two fell in love with each other.
They merged, combined, and multiplied, and finally the Khitan people appeared.
Ye Luxin, is this how your old man told you about the origins of the Khitan people?"
Yun Zheng turned his head and asked Yelu Xin with ill intentions.
Yelu Xin knew clearly that Yun Zheng's next words might not be nice, but what he just told about the origin of the Khitan people was absolutely correct. That's what the old people said, so he nodded and said: "It's true. The story of the green cow and the white horse is in the grassland."
It has a long history.”
"There is no problem with the union between an immortal and a fairy. A handsome man and a beautiful woman love each other, and the final union is a very beautiful story.
But I am very worried, how can the children of immortals and fairies get together? Even if immortals and fairies are very fertile and have many children, how can they reproduce if their children are all brothers and sisters? As far as I know, even if brothers and sisters do not get married,
The gods must also abide by it! Yeluxin, can you believe that you are the descendant of incest?"
If a man cannot answer other people's questions, he will bow his head and remain silent. If a woman cannot answer other people's questions, she will get angry. So Xiao Hongzhu said angrily: "Shameless!" and smashed the plate of dried fruits over.
Yun Zheng dodged away, looked at Yelu Xin and said: "Let's continue to return to the topic. I really don't mean to blaspheme the ancestors of the Khitan people. I just want to tell you who the original father of the Khitan people is. You see, the two of us are actually taller.
They are almost the same, both have black hair and black eyes. There is not much difference except that you have a curly hair and I have a bun, so our blood relationship may be very close."
Seeing that Yun Zheng had extended the topic to herself, Xiao Hongzhu believed that he was not insulting the Khitans, so she asked: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Yun Zheng ignored Xiao Hongzhu, stared at Yelu Xin and said: "The only difference between us is our living habits and behavior, as well as the different words we write and the words we speak. The rest are the same.
But over the years, you have unknowingly learned from my behavior in the Song Dynasty, and everything from your court system to your living habits has been changing.
Let me ask you, how many people still use your Khitan characters today? How many people still know your Khitan characters? Not many, right? I think the people who can use it are probably limited to Khitan nobles and bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, right?
(The radicals of Chinese characters created the Khitan script, also known as large characters, and later the Khitan small characters were imitated from the Uighur script.)
I don't know Khitan writing and language, but there is no obstacle to communication between us. It can be seen that your familiarity with Han classics may have already exceeded those of big and small characters.
The people of the Song Dynasty are not physically superior, but we are the eternal winners in terms of wisdom. Once you enter the pass and become the ruler, you can learn all the knowledge of the Song Dynasty and imitate the living habits of the Song Dynasty.
, because you are the rulers and can take away everything we have. Tell me, a hundred years from now, how many of you will still know the complicated and difficult Khitan characters? How many people will still be able to speak Khitan?
At that time, what difference will there be between you and the people of Song Dynasty? Will you have a hairy hair?
There is a saying in the Song Dynasty: When the Barbarians and Di people enter China, China will conquer them; if China enters the Barbarian and Di countries, the Barbarians and Di people will conquer them. Even if we fail on the battlefield, we are the ultimate victors in terms of wisdom. This is determined by national characteristics.
, cannot be changed by humans!
Therefore, it is very likely that your horses will not be able to leave the customs in the future, all the Khitans entering the customs will become Han people, and the Khitan race will completely disappear in the long river of history."
After speaking, Yun Zheng waved to the distance, and Ge Qiuyan walked out of the darkness, holding a pair of bows and arrows in his hand. When he arrived, he put the drunk Yun Zheng on his shoulders, and the couple
The man staggered away from the wine table and returned to his tent.
Just after turning around a tent, Yun Zheng immediately let go of Ge Qiuyan's body and pulled her to squat behind the tent to peek at the reactions of Ye Luxin and Xiao Hongzhu. His eyes were gleaming and he was not even half drunk.
Xiao Hongzhu and Ye Luxin sat in silence for a long time, and Ye Luxin said word by word: "The history books of the Han family are positive about the Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Hong. Tuoba Hong moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang; later he changed the Xianbei surname to Han The surname was used to change Xianbei customs, language, and clothing.
In addition, intermarriage between Xianbei and Han people was encouraged; gentry family status was assessed to strengthen the joint rule of Xianbei nobles and Han people; official court rituals were formulated with reference to the laws and regulations of the Southern Dynasties.
The Northern Wei Dynasty ruled the north for more than a hundred years, and the earliest records about "Xianbei" can be traced back to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. "Guoyu. Jinyu" says that after King Cheng of Zhou Ji Song quelled Wu Geng's rebellion, King Cheng personally came to Qiyang to gather the world. The princes and princes of the four barbarians and Xianbei were also invited to attend.
After Tuoba Hong changed the Yuan Dynasty for thousands of years, the race disappeared without a trace in just a few decades. We seem to be following Tuoba Hong's old path?"
Ge Qiuyan didn't understand what her husband was doing. She only knew that he had talked a lot tonight. When she saw her husband standing up with a smile on his face and gently dragging her back to the tent, she couldn't help but ask: "Husband, are you happy today?"
Yun Zheng patted Ge Qiuyan's little hand and said: "I finally taught these two fools to read history books from another angle. I was so tired talking to them that I almost told them to read Tuoba Hong's old stories. "
"What do you mean by history?"
Yun Zheng dragged Ge Qiuyan and continued to walk back, saying as he walked: "I just told the Khitan people that they are likely to lose their country and their species, and taught them to learn to doubt history.
As long as they begin to doubt the correctness of Tuoba Hong's actions, they will then drive away Han officials and oppress the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Then the bandits in the Taihang Mountains will take the opportunity to rebel. After seven or eight rebellions, the Khitan People will hate the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and then it will be a great opportunity for us to fundamentally regain Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!"
Ge Qiuyan looked at her husband's face in a daze, held his arm and walked back as if no one was around. She didn't let go even when she met Bao Zheng on the road.
"It may take a long time, but once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout, and eventually turn into a monster and destroy the originally strong fortress from the inside.
What we have to do now is to fertilize this seed, water it and protect it from growing up."
Bao Zheng heard this and closed his eyes in pain. Han Qi's behavior was too intense, and the suspicion between civil and military officials has never been stronger than it is now.
He thought that Yun Zheng's words just now were said to him deliberately and were a sign of preparation for counterattack. He opened his eyes and looked at the bright place in the distance where the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. There, the emperor was having a banquet for the ministers to celebrate the Song and Liao Dynasties. The covenant between them was finally reached.
Tomorrow, as long as it is read out at the altar, it will completely come into effect, and there will be a period of peace between Song and Liao for who knows how long.
There are always people who can see further, so there are always people who will suffer. Bao Zheng knew that although the war between Song and Liao was over, a bigger storm was brewing, and it was impossible for the Song Dynasty to live peacefully. Bao Zheng wanted to tell The emperor hesitated for a moment about the next risk, then shook his head and turned back to the tent, extinguished the candle, sat on a chair and stared at the cool moonlight, planning to take a nap.
