One hundred and seventy-six Yelu Chenghui does not want to rebel
After leading his 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 thought that he would be captured and killed by the rebels.
He is the one the emperor believes in, he can reach the heavenly voice directly, his status is very special and his power is very great.
He never thought he would die at the hands of the rebels.
But that's the case, he died at the hands of the rebels.
The rebels took him to the high platform and took his life on the guillotine.
Yelu Chenghui was watching from the side, his face pale. When he saw Tu Shanjing's big head hit the ground, he was very scared.
Obviously, even if these rebels will eventually be destroyed, they still have the power of life and death.
Not only him, but his family.
Tu Shanjing's family was executed together, 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 surrender him, Yelu Chenghui's mental resistance was still relatively weak, and he even had a little surprise.
However, Tu Shanjing was killed, but he was alive. Why is that?
Then Su Yonglin relieved his doubts.
"I resisted Jin Ting, and the Jurchens are resisting. You are a Khitan, not a Jurchen, so I don't really want to kill you. If you are willing to surrender, I am willing to use you to fight Jin. Do you want to join us?"
"I... I am indeed a Khitan, but I am also an official of the Jin Kingdom."
Yelu Chenghui swallowed: "I have dispatched troops to attack the Guangfu Army. Wouldn't you feel angry?"
Su Yonglin smiled.
"Yelu Chenghui, I ask you, will you feel regretful about the demise of the Great Liao Dynasty? Have you ever thought that if the Great Liao did something right or defeated a certain enemy, it would not have ended like that?"
Yelu Chenghui was silent for a while.
"It's not that I haven't thought about it."
"Right, before the Jin people destroyed the Song Dynasty, they destroyed the Liao first. The huge Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and many Liao people became slaves. Your ancestors should have surrendered in time, so they gained a certain status. But to be honest, do you really think this is good?
Not to mention anything else, just say that many noble ladies from Liao Kingdom were sent to the laundry yard for the Jurchen nobles to enjoy like playgrounds. Is this really indifferent to you and not feel any shame at all? How many Khitans are treated like cattle and horses by Jurchens? Do you really don’t care at all?"
Yelu Chenghui lowered his head and thought.
Of course it’s not very good to be unhappy, but if you really care too much, it won’t be.
Because his life is still full of wealth and wealth, he still has great power, and he has as much money as he wants, as much as his women as he wants. How those people are treated by the Jurchens, it is not a big problem for him.
It's just that I'm a little depressed.
The reason for his depression is that those Jurchens like to bully people, but they are a Khitan, they are not very confident. Faced with the bullying of those senior Jurchen officials, he could only swallow his anger.
His dissatisfaction comes from his dissatisfaction with his own situation, his dissatisfaction with being bullied, and even his identity as a Khitan. It is not about how much affection he has for the Liao Kingdom.
If the Jin Kingdom rebelled for such dissatisfaction, it would be much more than.
But if the Jin Kingdom suffers a great disaster, it is not impossible to protect itself, for the sake of its power and status, it is not an unfair choice to send the Jin Kingdom for a journey, because when it comes to loyalty, there is indeed not much, and he cares more about himself.
Probably that's it.
However, he did not dare to say such words clearly to Su Yonglin.
"I miss my homeland very much, and I am quite dissatisfied with the abuse of the Jurchens."
That's all he can say.
"But this dissatisfaction is not enough to make you rise up and restore your homeland, right?"
Su Yonglin looked at him with a smile.
Yelu Chenghui was stunned and dared not speak.
"If you don't speak, you're accusation. It's no wonder. I've seen many officials like you along the way. When I surrendered those Han officials, many of them cursed at me, and would rather die than follow me.
At first I was wondering why, as Han people, they wanted to be loyal to the Jurchen emperor. Later I realized that this had nothing to do with the Han people or Jurchens, mainly because they were officials and I was a thief."
Su Yonglin's frankness in opening the skylight and speaking loudly made Yelu Chenghui feel relieved.
"What the general said... makes sense."
Su Yonglin laughed.
"That's natural, and I thought, if a Khitan rebellion happened at this moment, your first reaction was not excitement, not excitement, not feeling that the Liao Dynasty had the hope of restoring the country, but worrying whether the Jurchen Emperor would suspect that you were related to rebellion.
You are even willing to quell this rebellion yourself to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, and use the blood of the Khitans to prove that you are different from them, and to prove your loyalty to the Jin Kingdom."
Yelu Chenghui was even more surprised.
How can this person see people's hearts so thoroughly?
Of course, he would not think that it was the hope of restoring the country in the Great Liao Dynasty, but would be frightened, worried that the emperor would suspect that he had something to do with this matter, which would threaten his life.
If necessary, he would of course be willing to personally quell the rebellion to prove that he had nothing to do with this matter. He was a pure loyal minister of the Great Jin.
As for whether the other party is a Khitan or a Han person, it is not important at all and is not worthy of his consideration. He only wants to kill more and establish greater achievements, so that he can be truly accepted by the emperor and enjoy superior power and status.
"What the general said...is true."
To this point, it is meaningless to continue to disguise, so it is better to open the skylight together and say something bright.
"So, I don't think you will rebel for the Khitan experience. You are living such a good life, why should you rebel?"
Su Yonglin sat in front of Yelu Chenghui: "Of course, I rebelled not only because the Emperor of Jin was not good to the Han people, but I think my rebellion is still necessary, and I think the possibility of my rebellion is not low."
"How can I see it?"
After talking, Yelu Chenghui became interested in Su Yonglin's statement.
"Because I found a lot of weaknesses in the Jin Kingdom."
Su Yonglin stretched out a finger: "A small tribe faces a big country. Although it has strong force and is in short supply, the Han people are actually quite powerless and vigilant against tens of millions of Khitans. They also want to do a lot of things, but they just can't completely trust the Han people and the Khitans."
Yelu Chenghui lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded slightly, expressing his approval.
There are many restrictions on bureaucrats such as Han and Khitans who are not part of the Jurchens in the Jin bureaucratic system. Whether it is employment or promotion, they are subject to invisible restrictions and discrimination.
For example, the Jurchens can use less years to achieve higher official positions or real power positions. These official positions are even only open to the Jurchens, while the Han and Khitans have to use more years to compete for a very small number of official positions that can still hold real power.
They rolled up.
In this regard, no one is a fool, and many Han and Khitan bureaucrats are dissatisfied with this.
However, this dissatisfaction is not enough to arouse their resistance to the Jin Kingdom. Even for some involuntary masters, it can arouse their own dissatisfaction and strong disagreement with the identity of Han or Khitans.
If you say they are Han or Khitans, they will be furious and retort - you are! Your whole family is!
So this group of people is actually quite pitiful.
Su Yonglin started from this point.
"Since there is no trust, it is difficult to say that it can be integrated, unable to integrate, and always maintain estrangement. How can we maintain long-term stability? Relying on strong force to maintain rule, but there are always times when force weakens. Once force weakens, it will either be destroyed by internal troubles or external troubles."
Su Yonglin's statement aroused Yelu Chenghui's disagreement.
"But all this has a prerequisite, that is, the force of force is weak. If the force can still be maintained, the Jin Kingdom can naturally maintain it. How can the general think that the force of the Jin Kingdom has weakened now? In my opinion, the force of the Jin Kingdom is still strong.
