    At this time, everyone was secretly sweating for Xin Qiji, thinking that at such a young age, he dared to speak like this to the two most powerful emperors of the world. Really, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

    However, none of the three generals spoke out to refute, because Xin Qiji's words were not unreasonable. Since Yue Yun and Yelu Pusuwan are both people who love their nation and country extremely, and they are also people who truly love each other, then if the two countries  By merging and becoming one country, wouldn't all conflicts and problems be solved?

    To be selfish, if there is a decisive battle in a few days, it is hard to say whether these generals will die in the battle. Although they are all warriors and heroes who are not afraid of death, if they can have the backbone and live without losing their dignity, who will not?  Want to survive?  ""Updated fastest, full text typed by hand

    However, they did not dare to say these words right away. They all looked at Yue Yun and Yelu Pu to see how the two emperors would react.

    After a long time, Yelu Pu quickly covered his mouth with his hands and let out a clear laugh: "This little brother, you want to merge? After the merger, will the country be called Han or Liao? Should I be the emperor or he?"

    Jiang Wei, Yelu Songshan, Yang Xing and the other three people suddenly felt nervous. Yelu Pu quickly asked the question very well. The merger is not a problem. What is the name of the country after the merger and who is the emperor is the key to the problem. "" See the latest chapter

    However, Xin Qiji had obviously thought about this problem, and he was willing to risk it anyway, so he said loudly: "After the merger, I suggest that the country be called neither Liao nor Han, so as to avoid the feeling that one side is being annexed. As for the two emperors  Your Majesties are all married. Husband and wife are one and the same. Whoever becomes the emperor is the same. But judging from people's habits, I still recommend that Brother Yue be the emperor of the new empire. Your Majesty can be the empress. However, it can be stipulated that the prime minister of the empire should be appointed.  Or the prime minister may be appointed by a former Liao minister, and all credentials and imperial edicts must be stamped and confirmed by the emperor and the empress at the same time before they can take effect"

    Having said this, he scratched his head and said: "For the moment, the young general has only thought of this much. Other situations may have to be decided by Your Majesty, but this is really a matter of getting the best of both worlds. I believe everyone will agree!"

    After hearing this, Yelvpu was a little moved. If all the certificates of credence and imperial edicts had to be stamped and confirmed by Yue Yun and herself, then although she was a queen, she would be no different from the emperor. Moreover, a war with heavy casualties could be avoided.  , is also an option. However, the area and population of Han State are now much larger than that of Liao State, and I still feel like being annexed.

    Yue Yun's eyes flickered, thinking about the feasibility of Xin Qiji's proposal. Although this suggestion was unbelievable, it was also feasible. After all, the two countries had just experienced a war, and the casualties were heavy. Although the soldiers of both countries were not afraid of death, after experiencing such  After the heavy casualties, it is natural to avoid fighting as much as possible. Although Yelvpu Suwan also enjoys some of the emperor's power and will divide her own powers, with her intelligence, she should not make many stupid moves in governance.  However, in this case, will my idea of ??realizing a constitutional monarchy and building a democratic country be delayed?

    "Let's do it! After the general speed is over, we will all go back and discuss Xin Qiji's suggestion with our ministers. After three days, we will inform each other whether we plan to implement it this way. If we reach an internal consensus, we will discuss the specific process of the merger and the new country.  The country name, political system, legal system and other details." Yue Yun stood up and said

    Yelu Pusuwan has heard what Yue Yun is thinking, and he agrees with this.

    In fact, she is somewhat inclined to agree, but she still has some concerns, and whether she can get the consent of the ministers in the country is also a big problem.

    "Okay! Brother Yue, I will go back and discuss it first, and I will send someone to inform you of the results in three days!" Yelvpu also nodded quickly, and then got up and mounted his horse.

    After the two of them said goodbye, Yelupu rode his horse towards the city of Yanjing.

    On the way, Yelu Songshan asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, do you really want to agree?

    "Songshan, what do you think?" Yelvpu asked while riding on his horse.

    "This if the two countries really merge into one country, it will save the people from the war and the soldiers from sacrifice. But Weichen believes that the key to the problem is not the merger, but who will be the leader after the merger. I  Daliao must occupy a dominant position in the new regime! And if it is merged with Yue Yun as the emperor and His Majesty as the queen, although in name the imperial edict and credentials will be stamped with your two seals, it will not give the ministers and the common people the reflection.  Although the elephants are still dominated by southerners!" Yelu Songshan said

    After Yelu Pusu finished hearing this, he looked around with his pretty eyes and sighed softly: "I also want to do this, but will the Han Congress agree? In the current situation, they obviously have the upper hand."

    At this time, Jiang Wei said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have a way to makeI, the northerner, am in a dominant position!  And maybe they will agree!  "

    "Oh? What can General Jiang do?" Yelvpu asked quickly.

    "That is to not allow us to demand that the new country must have Yanjing as its capital! In this way, wouldn't we, Daliao, be able to take a leading position?"

    Yelu Pusuwan and Yelu Songshan suddenly brightened up. Yanjing is now the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Although the land of Youyan is mostly Han people, they all have their hearts set on the Liao Dynasty. If Yanjing is the capital, even if many officials are  They are big men, but they always have to hire servants and recruit guards. Even if they are mainly southern Han people at the beginning, over time, the older ones will gradually die, and the new ones will usually recruit palace maids and eunuchs from the local area.  In this way, after officials have lived in Yanjing for a long time, they will be subtly influenced by the local culture. In this way, it is probably a matter of two opinions whether the northerners or the southerners are the masters of this new country.

    "Okay! General Jiang, this is a good idea. Let's go back and discuss it with the ministers! Then we will put forward our request in three days!" Yelvpu Suwan said with great joy.

    After Yue Yun returned to the camp, he also told all the generals about Xin Qiji's suggestion. After hearing this, the generals were all very happy, thinking that this was a good thing for both the country and the beauty. In this way, the Liao Kingdom could be annexed without any bloodshed.  a war disaster

    However, Lu You frowned a little and remained silent.

    "Wuguan, I see you are not very happy. Are you opposed to this matter?" Yue Yun noticed the melancholy on Lu You's face.

    After Lu You heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I strongly agree with this matter, but the civil servants in Lin'an may not be happy!"

    "Oh? Why do you think they won't agree?" Yue Yun asked a little curiously

    Lu You said seriously: "The reason why the brothers in the camp agree now is because they are well aware of the power of the enemy and know that if they do not merge and really fight, it will be a big deal how many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers will return to their hometowns.  The problem is that after the merger, it has little to do with their interests. Anyway, they are all the same as generals, but the civil servants are very different!"

    He glanced at Yue Yun and said: "Your Majesty, think about it, the prime minister of the imperial court is Mr. Yu now, and the prime minister of Liao is Xiao Orici, but after the merger, will there still be a prime minister and a prime minister?  There must only be one person who can be appointed as prime minister. Is it Master Ding Yu or Xiao Weili Ci?"

    After a pause, he continued: "It is not only a matter of phase, but also the ministries in the central government. Our dynasty has nine ministries, and there are no vacancies for the ministers of each ministry. The Liao Kingdom has six ministries, and the minister of each ministry is  There are already people there. After the merger, can¡¯t the new country set up fifteen ministries? There will definitely be a group of officials who will step down, but no one wants to be demoted or step down. If this happens, the officials will definitely oppose it for their own interests.  Merge! And we will advocate a war! In any case, there is no need for civilian officials to charge into the battle, and there is no risk in waving flags and shouting from the rear!"

    Lu You¡¯s words reminded Yue Yun, and he immediately felt keenly that this issue was a bit like the large-scale reform in later generations.

    In fact, the merger of those bloated departments in later generations was considered right from top to bottom, but when it came to cutting them off, officials would all oppose it. After all, official position is a kind of capital for them, and they can carry out further operations.  The capital of money and power transactions, if they lose their official positions due to the merger of departments, it is equivalent to cutting off their financial path. They will do everything they can to state the importance of their department's existence to the central government in order to try their best to preserve it.

    Therefore, in every major ministry reform, the most difficult thing is how to relocate the original officials after so many official positions have been lost. Now, I will also face this problem.

    "Well! This is also a problem. You should discuss it with me in the next few days and take these issues into consideration! In three days, we will propose our plan to Liao Fang!" Then Yue Yun continued  He said to Yang Xing: "Yang Xing, use the fastest transmission method to tell Prime Minister Yu and the ministers about the changes that have occurred here, and ask them to hand over the work of the DPRK to their deputies and take the boat from Lin'an to participate in the negotiations!  "

    Three days passed by in a flash. Both Yelvpu Suwan and Yue Yun informed each other of their decisions.

    Both Han and Liao agreed to merge into a new country and established four basic principles:

    ??The first new country can neither be called Liao nor Han, but must take a new country name, and the name of the country will be discussed with the Liao ministers after the arrival of Han ministers who participated in the negotiations;

    The emperor of the second new country is served by Yue Yun, while the queen is appointed by Yelu Pu. Both of them have equal rights; the imperial edict and credentials must be stamped by both of them to be effective;

    The next emperor of the third new country can only be the children born to Yue Yun and Yelu Pusuwan, but the next emperor will never be the next emperor.From the beginning, the wisest among the princes will be the heir to the throne.

    The prime minister of the fourth new country should be a Khitan, and the deputy prime minister should be a Han. However, this is only true for the first cabinet. From the second cabinet onwards, it will be elected according to normal procedures (to be continued)
