Fu Song

Chapter 563
One old and one young all the way down along the winding stone path.

The old holds the young hand.

"Did you cry again last night?"

"Second Grandpa, I didn't cry." The little one raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, but his expression was extremely stubborn.

"When you cry, you cry. You are a man, there is no reason why you dare not admit it!" The old man said calmly.

"I didn't cry, I just shed tears!" The little one lowered his head.

The old man was taken aback, he didn't expect such an answer, after thinking for a while, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "So this is ah!"

"That's it!"

"Your father is the best emperor in the world. He is also one of the top three emperors in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Daliao Dynasty. You are his son, so you should not lose your ambition."

"Second Grandpa, grandson understands!"

"Have you seen all the ambitions written on the monument erected by your father on the mountain?"

"I saw it."

"He has already achieved the first few items, and the last one is left, which is the great order of the world, and I leave it to you!"

"The grandson will definitely not disappoint his father."

"very good!"

The old man smiled gratifiedly.

The old and the young, the old one is Yelu Hongzhen, the uncle of Yelujun, the younger brother of Yelu Hongde, the last emperor of the Daliao Dynasty, and the marshal of the military capital of the Daliao Dynasty, although he retired a long time ago, It still has great prestige in the country of Liao.

The younger one is naturally Yeluxian, the son of Yelujun, the new emperor of Daliao who is about to take the throne.

Now, he is only twelve years old.

"Second Grandpa, I'm tired, Juxian Pavilion is just below, let's sit there before leaving!" Seeing Yelu Hongzhen panting on his knees, Yeluxian said.

Yelu Hongzhen smiled and rubbed Yeluxian's head. This grandson is indeed smart and discerning, and he also knows how to take care of others. He looks better than Yelujun when he was a child.

Speaking of this, Yeluhong really felt that he really had to thank Xiao Chuo.

Yelujun has been wandering around the vast territory of Daliao, suppressing, not to mention educating children, and internal affairs are basically left to Xiao Chuo.

At first, old people like Yelu Hongzhen were very dissatisfied with this, but they couldn't resist Yelujun's insistence, so they had to follow Yelujun's wishes, but people like Yelu Hongzhen stared at Xiao Well, Yelu Hong, who never stops retiring, is really ready to take Xiao Chuo down at any time, as long as he catches the handle.

But what happened later proved that their worries were unnecessary.

Xiao Chuo did extremely well, even better than the previous emperor.

The Liao Kingdom was booming, especially the conflict between the Han people and the Khitan people was well reconciled by Xiao Chuo. The Liao Kingdom became richer and richer, and the treatment of these old people was getting better and better.Those lurking crises were resolved one by one by the couple calmly.

Yeluhong was really relieved.

He felt that he could enjoy his old age in peace.

But it never occurred to him that Yelujun died just like that.

After taking Tokyo City and capturing Emperor Zhao Song, he died like this.

However, the news brought back by Lin Ping made Yelu Hongzhen doubtful, so he had to go out of the mountain again and went to Nanjing Daoxijin Mansion in person.

Lin Ping's words are conclusive,
But Brother Wanyan locked himself in the barracks, even if he came to the door by himself, he would avoid seeing him.

Lin Ping walked around on Shangjing Road,

The entire Shangjing Road is really about to rain.

But Yeluhong really knew that few old guys like himself in Shangjing Dao believed Lin Ping's words.

Because Xiao Chuo has brought you too many benefits over the years,
Whether it's economic or political.

Xiao Chuo is a good choice.

If she is willing to be a supporter.

Yelujun died, he was old, and Yeluxian was still young,
However, if Yelujun really left such a will, what should he do?

Wanyan Bage locked himself in the barracks and didn't see anyone. Was he just protecting this will?
If there is such a will, it must be with Wanyan Mynah.

Right now, only the Pishi army camp can guarantee Wanyan Myna's arrangement, if he really dares to show his face, maybe Xiao Chuo will send someone to take his life, this is not a rare thing.

"Second Grandpa, sit down!" Ye Luxian said, supporting the old man.

"Do you know who your father built this pavilion for?"

"Of course I know, it was built for Grandpa Lin. He is the teacher of my father. My father once told me that without Grandpa Lin, he would not be the emperor!"

Yeluhong really laughed: "At that time, there was indeed a person who seemed to be closer to the throne than your father. Your father, you and your grandfather Lin stayed in Jinfu for seven or eight years. After many years of planning, we finally overthrew King Jing of Zhao Song in one fell swoop, annihilated the Hebei frontier army, and made our Daliao's confidant's troubles come to an end. This is how the Southern Expedition succeeded today!"

"Grandpa Lin is a very good person." Ye Luxian thought for a while and said, "But Second Grandpa, Lin Ping, why did he speak ill of my mother in front of me? He said that my mother would come back with an army and use The army came to threaten me, making me a puppet of the queen mother, and even my life would be lost in the future."

"Lin Ping is also thinking about you, after all, that woman is not your biological mother!" Yelu Hongzhen smiled and said, "Lin Ping is also a loyal minister, Ah Xian, do you know that if you want a country to be good, then you must Let the court have a different voice!"

"Are you telling me not to kill Lin Ping?" Yeluxian raised his head.

Yeluhong was really shocked: "You want to kill Lin Ping?"

"Why not? He has deep malice towards his mother!" Ye Luxian nodded. "Whoever dares to harm the queen mother, I will definitely kill him."

Yeluhong really looked at Yeluxian in shock, he never expected that Xiao Chuo was so important to Yeluxian that Yeluxian would say such words.

"What if your mother really returned with a large army as Lin Ping said?" Yelu Hongzhen asked. "You have to know that more than half of the army in Daliao is now under the control of your mother. She can do whatever she wants, even if she doesn't let you be emperor, she can do it herself. arrive."

Ye Luxian thought for a while and said, "No. Over the years, my mother has been teaching me how to be a good emperor."

"That's because the emperor is still there."

Ye Luxian shook his head: "Second Grandpa, facts speak louder than words, I believe you will see the result soon!"

"I hope!" Yelu Hongzhen nodded.

Speaking of which, he also hoped so.

Xiao Chuo's prestige in the Liao Kingdom is too high now, not only among the people, but also in the officialdom. Her strength is also extremely strong. If it is really as Lin Ping said, I am afraid that Daliao will be followed by a big battle. Civil turmoil broke out.

This is really a headache.

Of course, if the will that Lin Ping mentioned really existed, things would be much easier to handle.

But looking at Ye Luxian's appearance, Lin Ping would definitely not be able to kill Xiao Chuo, and keeping her trapped in the harem would also be a good choice.

But if there is no will, how to save Lin Ping's life is another big problem. How can Xiao Chuo tolerate Lin Ping to live?

Leaving aside the personal grievances between them, Lin Ping's activities in Shangjing this time are enough for Xiao Chuo to kill him a hundred times.

Lin Ping can't die either!
He is Lin Jing's son, and Lin Jing is his only friend.

Lin Ping is the king of the Southern Academy of Daliao, and he also has real talents and learning.

More importantly, if Xiao Chuo is still in power, then there is a person like Lin Ping in the court, which can also give Yeluxian more protection.

After all, I can't live long.

But it seems that Ye Luxian has not understood this truth.

After resting for a while, when the old and the young stood up again, the people below were flying towards them.

They quickly climbed up the stairs.

"What's the matter?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.

"Marshal Huidu, return to His Royal Highness, the Southern Expedition Army has crossed the Juma River. Except for General Yeluzhen's personal army and the Pishi army, the remaining Han army, Touxia army, and tribal army, after crossing the river , and have already started to disband and return home.”

"Second Grandpa, what do you think I said?" Ye Luxian's face showed a look of relief: "I knew it was like this."

"That's good, that's good!" Yelu Hongzhen was also relieved.

Yeluzhen is Yelujun's most trusted governor and confidant, and the Pishi army has always been the emperor's pro-army. Xiao Chuo dismissed the other troops, and being escorted by these two armies at least shows that she is selfless in her heart.And her biggest reliance is Shan Jun, who is still in Nanyang Mansion, which is thousands of miles away.

"Lin Ping, that bastard, really spouted blood and framed his mother, damn it, damn it!" Ye Luxian put on a serious face.

The faces of the two people who came up just now turned pale.

"Go down!" Yelu Hongzhen waved to the two people, and the two people ran down quickly as if they were pardoned.

"Lin Ping may be disrespectful to your mother, but he is still loyal to you!" Yeluhong said with a real smile, "And he is also your father's old friend and senior brother, so..."

"I know Second Grandpa, as long as he doesn't frame the Queen Mother again, I will naturally not do anything to him."

"That's good!" Yeluhong really smiled.

Ye Luxian is already twelve years old, and in a few years, he should understand how important an existence like Lin Ping is to him in successfully grasping power in the future.

"Get ready. Your mother's plan is to announce the news of your father's death to the world after arriving at Xijin Mansion. In this way, the impact can be minimized." Yelu Hongzheng said.

"Yes." Yeluxian lowered his voice, lowered his head, and firmly held Yeluhongzhen's hand. After all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy.

A few days later, Empress Xiao Chuo, General Yeluzhen and others arrived at Xijin Mansion, and immediately announced to the world that Emperor Yelujun had died of a serious illness and had returned west on a crane.

The entire Liao Kingdom suddenly fell into grief.

Yelujun is a good emperor.

It was he who worked tirelessly to lead the army to suppress the rebellion in all directions, and buried all ambitious people thoroughly.
It was also under his rule that the economy of the Liao Kingdom improved day by day, and the lives of ordinary people improved greatly.

The Liao Kingdom, which had already shown signs of decline, has regained its vitality in the past ten years.

He stepped up to the position of the supreme ruler of the Liao Kingdom step by step from the Daoxijin Mansion in Nanjing, but in the end he also drew his curtain here, marking a successful conclusion for himself.

There are countless people on Nanjing Road who have benefited from Yelujun's favor. When they heard such news, they naturally cried out endlessly.

But in the governor's mansion, the sad atmosphere seemed much lighter.

After all, they knew the news a long time ago, those who should cry have already cried, and those who should be hurt have already passed that level. What is before them now is the general trend of the world after Yelujun's death.

"Three days ago, we received the exact news!" Xiao Chuo sat on the main seat, holding Ye Luxian's hand, and Ye Luxian sat obediently next to her. "The Governors' Association of the Southern Roads of the Zhao and Song Dynasties formed an alliance at the Jiangling Mansion on Jinghu Road, and jointly elected King Jing's youngest son, Zhao An, as emperor. That Zhao An is also twelve years old this year."

"Isn't King Jing's family dead? Where did Zhao An jump out?" Yeluhong was really surprised.

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as he gets the approval of these governors, even if he is false, it can also become true." Xiao Chuo said: "Uncle Emperor, in this way, Zhao Songnan will have someone who is loyal to him again. The object, the situation in the south that the former emperor thought could be passed on, no longer exists. Next, the situation of confrontation between the north and the south will inevitably form."

Yeluhong really frowned: "It's just Zhao Song and the south, the key is Xiao Ding in the northwest. Compared with the south, he is really our confidant now."

"That's right!" Xiao Chuo said, "The late emperor made Liu Yu and Cui Ang the kings. It was really a wise move. These people accepted our conferment, and they are in an endless situation with those governors in the south of Zhao Song. In the future, whether it is people like Cui Ang and Liu Yu going south, or those people from the south going north, in short, they can buy us some time. It would be best if they can survive for a year or two. We must first concentrate on solving the troubles in the Northwest."

"The governors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south may not be able to form a joint force soon. It is common for the courtiers of the Song Kingdom to tear each other down!" Yeluzhen said.

"But now there is Xiao Chongwen and Xiao Erlang!" Xiao Chuo shook his head and said, "This person is extremely capable. With him around, we must never ignore it. It is reasonable to think that everything will go wrong. It is better to make preparations early than never Don't let your guard down."

Both Yelu Hongzhen and Yeluzhen showed strange expressions on their faces.

They knew, whether it was Xiao Ding or Xiao Cheng, the real relationship with the woman in front of them.

This world is actually under the control of the three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!" Sun Chun's voice sounded outside.

The expressions of several people in the room were different, obviously everyone must have completely different thoughts.

"Come in and talk!"

Sun Chun stepped in, bowed and said: "Madam, just now there is an urgent message from Tokyo Road that Yeluxi rebelled and has occupied Liaoyang Mansion on Tokyo Road."

"What?" Several people in the room turned pale with shock, this was an answer that no one thought of.
