Fu Song

Chapter 536

Lin Ping looked at Yelujun who was in shape on the bed, his eye sockets couldn't help being sore, and tears flowed down his face uncontrollably.

He used to be such an opinionated person, but now he has become like this.

"Pingzhi, what is there to be sad about!" Yelujun was extremely open-minded, and said with a smile, "Although my life was short, it was radiant. Except for the founder of the country, the achievements of other ancestors are not as good as mine. Oh! I have no regrets in this life, it’s much better than living in my eighty or ninety years and doing nothing but doing nothing.”

"That's what I said, but I always hope that your health will be better. The current Daliao cannot live without you!" Lin Ping wiped away his tears and tried to calm himself down.

Yelujun said: "It's not certain, Daliao left me, Daliao is still the same, or maybe it will be better in the future. I have already done what I want to do, and let future generations do the rest. , is the same."

Lin Ping changed his expression slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

Yelujun let out a foul breath: "Pingzhi, do you want to tell me about the Queen?"

Lin Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am both a monarch and a minister, and I am as close as a brother. There are some things that I have to say. This is not only for the sake of Daliao, but also for the future of Xian'er."

Yelujun nodded lightly: "Go on."

"Your Majesty, how long do you think your body can last?" Lin Ping asked.

"I don't know, maybe within ten days, maybe a year or so, but in short, the bull head and horse face are probably already waiting by my side with a knife, card and chain!" Yelujun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that over the years, you have completely delegated power to the queen, allowing the queen to control the power of Daliao without any effort. Now in Daliao, many officials and localities may only know the queen, but not your majesty!" Lin Pingdao.

"Delegating power to the empress, even now, I have never regretted it!" Yelujun said lightly: "Pingzhi, you ask yourself, how has the empress done in terms of internal affairs over the years? Power, how is she doing to balance the interests of the Han people?"

Lin Ping sighed: "Yes, she did a good job."

"If it wasn't for her, there wouldn't be this Southern Expedition, and naturally there wouldn't be the victory to destroy the Song Kingdom!" Yelujun said with a smile: "You can't just think about reaping the fruits and not thinking about what you need for this victory." the price paid."

"Your Majesty, if you are in good health, I will naturally not talk nonsense!" Lin Pingdao: "But with your body in this state, you may return home at any time. Once you go, there will be nothing left in this world." Who can check and balance the empress? The prince is young, and he is extremely dependent on the empress! Your Majesty, when that time comes, will this Daliao be named Yelu or Xiao?"

"Be quiet and don't get bored. After a while, Mynah and Yeluzhen will both come over! Let's talk together when the time comes!" Yelujun said.

"Your Majesty, so you have already made arrangements?" Lin Ping expressed joy.

Yelujun was noncommittal.

A while later, Wanyan Myna and Yeluzhen arrived one after another, sitting around Yelujun on three small round stools.

"The three of you are the ministers of my Daliao and my most trustworthy brothers!" Taking a breath, Yelujun said: "I really never thought that in my lifetime, Zhao Song could really be wiped out and the world would be ruled. If I have done this, I will die with peace in my eyes. Right now, although Zhao Song still has half of the country in the south, but the snake can't do without a head. Although there will be twists and turns in our strategy for the south, it is estimated that the general trend will not change."

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until your health is better before talking about it?" Wanyan Myna said in a deep voice.

Yelujun waved his hand and said, "My body may disappear anytime soon, so it's better to arrange it as soon as possible. Lin Ping has always been worried about one thing. If I die, no one will be able to control the queen, making Xian'er To become a puppet, with Xiao Chuo's ability, she can indeed easily do this. Now that I am still alive, there are already many people gathered around her."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yeluzhen looked at Yelujun in obvious shock.

Yelujun nodded, "If I go, I will leave a will for Xiao Chuo to be buried with me."

"Your Majesty, there has never been such a thing in Daliao that the empress was buried with him. What, what is this?" Yeluzhen's face turned pale.

"There is no precedent, so what's the point of setting a precedent?" Yelujun smiled and said, "I love Xiao Chuo deeply, even after death, I don't want to be separated from her. If she loves me, she will naturally not refuse." Go hand in hand with me!"

"But Your Majesty."

"Are you worried that once this order is issued, the world will be unstable?"

"Yes!" Yeluzhen said. "The power around the queen is no small matter."

"The people who gather around the queen can be roughly divided into these categories. One is generals like Yelumin who follow her wholeheartedly and only dances with her baton, and the other is Youyan like the Lu family. Because of the existence of Xiao Chuo, the Han family’s political status has been greatly improved. The third is some Khitan nobles, because Xiao Chuo can bring them huge benefits. Except for the first type, the other two types of people can be resolved. "

Yeluzhen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the fighting power of the [-] Shan army is comparable to that of the [-] Pishi army. If there is any change, it will be a catastrophe."

"Of course I have arrangements for this!" Yelujun said lightly: "Taking Tokyo will destroy Zhao Song's inheritance, but the army will continue to sweep south. Yelumin's Shan army is the vanguard. Troops."

"That's not a problem, it's easy to arrange!" Yeluzhen nodded.

"As for me, it is generally impossible for me to go back to Zhongjing. In my opinion, there is a [-]% chance that I will die in this Zhao Song Palace!"

"Your Majesty!" Several people were a little sad.

"Don't be sad. Life and death are common things. Every one of us goes from birth to death. This is a circle, starting from one point, and finally returning to that point. The difference is that some of the circles are drawn faster. Some, some painted more slowly. The Queen once told me that we cannot extend the length of our lives, but we can broaden the width of our lives, and I think I did it.”

Yelujun lay peacefully on the bed, looked at several of his ministers, and said: "After I die, you immediately ask Fu Ling to return to Shangjing. Remember, it is Shangjing, not Zhongjing. At this time, there is a high probability that Yelumin's army is still there." Expanding the battlefield to the south, but on the way back, there is a Zhao Wang!"

"Cui Ang?" Wanyan Bage was a little disdainful: "I'm afraid this person is not Yelumin's opponent."

"He is not good at fighting, but he is an expert at playing tricks and tricks!" Yelujun said with a smile: "Furthermore, Qu Zhen beside him has a lot of experience in soldiers and horses. Cui Ang and Yelumin have killed their fathers. Therefore, whenever there is a chance, Cui Ang will definitely punish Yelumin to death, and at that time, Cui Ang will never let Yelumin's entire teacher turn around, and this will isolate the queen's greatest support."

Sitting up with some difficulty, he took out a small box and handed it to Wanyan Starling beside him.

"Brother, take this box with you, find an excuse in two days, and go back to Shangjing first!"

Wanyan Starling stood up and took the box with both hands.

"The box is my will, and all the final arrangements are written in it!"

"Yeluzhen, Lin Ping, although one of you is Han and the other is Khitan, you are both well-educated. Over the years, the empress has worked hard to bridge the gap between the two races, taking advantage of each other's strengths and making up for the other's weaknesses. It can be said that the effect is excellent, the two of you will cooperate closely in the future, as long as there are no problems within us, Daliao will be invincible in the world."

Lin Ping and Yeluzhen also stood up and stood with their hands down.

"The prince is young, and the two of you will be my ministers in the future. With myna, the basic situation will be considered stable. For the remaining unstable factors, I also believe that the two of you have the ability to calm down and have righteousness." They don’t dare to say anything more about their status. If the queen can give them benefits, you can also give them!”

Hundreds of thousands of Liao troops gathered in Tokyo City,
Should we continue going south, or stop there?

"What the army means is to strike while the iron is hot." Yeluzhen looked at the empress Xiao Chuo who was furiously writing after the big case, feeling a little complicated.

"They think things are too simple!" Xiao Chuo shook his head, "If we continue to fight south, we will encounter more and more obstacles every day, and it is impossible for His Majesty's body to hold on. The Generalissimo also I've seen His Majesty, and I don't know when His Majesty will return to heaven, if he continues to go south, and this bad news suddenly spreads, I'm afraid it will be very bad for the army's morale."

Yeluzhen nodded: "It's just that the army's morale is available, so it's a bit unwilling to give up."

"Let's raid the capital!" Xiao Chuo said: "Marshal, in the days to come, our most important thing is to raid the surrounding areas, plunder wealth, and various craftsmen and technicians. These are the most important things."

"Some people say that the queen doesn't want to go further south because your second brother is there!" Yeluzhen said suddenly.

Xiao Chuo smiled slightly: "Marshal, do you know what my greatest wish is now?"

Yeluzhen shook her head.

"Earlier, my greatest wish was to flatten the city of Tokyo and capture Zhao's father and son alive. Now that I have fulfilled this wish, my next greatest wish is to defeat my second brother!" Xiao Chuo laughed: "What does the Generalissimo think of my abilities?"

"I have only seen it in my life." Yeluzhen bowed and said sincerely.

"It was all taught by my second brother!" Xiao Chuo said, "So my biggest wish next is to completely defeat my second brother. If I can beat my second brother in my lifetime, then say it in front of him. , Second brother, I am the blue one, how happy I should be! You don’t know, since I was a child, my second brother is the one I look up to, and I used to think that I would never be able to catch up with him in my whole life.”

Yeluzhen said in surprise, "I always thought that the person you admire most, Ma'am, is Manager Xiao."

"No, a large part of the reason why Manager Xiao became Manager Xiao is because of my second brother's plan. My second brother is the best at doing these things." Xiao Chuo said with emotion: "Brother Marshal, you may not know that two days ago, I went out to meet two old people. One was the shopkeeper of a restaurant. He was so scared that he wanted to stab me to death with a knife. The other was so old that he couldn’t stand still. However, he still dared to stand in front of me with a knife and sternly reprimanded me."

"Your Majesty didn't kill them?"

"Kill He Yi?" Xiao Chuo said: "I told the Generalissimo these two things to tell you that it will become more and more difficult in the future. The war where we took down Zhao Song in a flash is basically over. , Next, it will inevitably enter a long-term confrontation stage. Our Liao army is not familiar with the soil and water in the south, so we can't stay in the south for long, and the rest will be left to those who surrender to us to complete."

"Use the Han people to control the Han people!" Yeluzhen said.

"Exactly! Only they know them best. All we need is the wealth and technology of these places." Xiao Chuo said: "Cui Ang and the others will inevitably suffer a few big defeats after we leave. Yes, it's better this way, and since then, they need me to rely on us even more. By controlling them, we can extend our tentacles to the south at the least cost, and nibble away at them little by little. A special name, called proxy war, what does the Generalissimo think?"

"My lady always has ingenious words! But it is also appropriate. In this way, without our warriors fighting to the death, we can reap a steady stream of wealth and absorb countless talents, just like a vampire Like a worm, lie on the opponent's body, drink to the fullest, until the opponent is finally exhausted, and then we will take it down in one fell swoop."

"The metaphor of generalissimo is inappropriate." Xiao Chuo laughed.

Yeluzhen smiled, "Your Majesty, do you really have no opinion on the arrangements for His Majesty's funeral?"

"He has his own ideas, and it's not wrong to stand in his position." Xiao Chuo shook his head: "It's like you, Generalissimo, why are you standing on my side?"

"Of course it is for the future of Daliao." Yeluzhen said decisively.

"Yes, he also thinks it's for the future of Daliao. Everyone sees the problem from a different perspective, and naturally the means of dealing with the problem are also different." Xiao Chuo walked a few steps in the room, and said lightly: "It's just that , His decision still makes me a little sad."

"Also, Your Majesty is really infatuated with you." Yeluzhen said suddenly.

"Maybe!" Xiao Chuo looked a little lonely, "General Marshal, that's it, all the things that should be arranged, let Yelumin go to the south, you can't let His Majesty keep holding on to this breath and don't want to swallow it. Excuse me, why do you have to suffer this again? Have Brother Wanyan and Lin Ping gone back together?"

"Yes!"

"When he swallows his last breath, let's help Ling return to the north!" Xiao Chuo took a deep breath: "Then, the imperial court needs to clean up well before we can really show our hands and feet. Generalissimo, you will be in the south in the future, and you will have a lot of opportunities to fight with my second brother, and you will see what kind of person he is."

"I just want to see it!" Yeluzhen said proudly.
