Fu Song

Yeluxian, the emperor of Daliao, came from Shangjing.

Accompanying him was Yelu Hongzhen, the most powerful military commander in Daliao.

Yelu Hongzhen is very old and has not been a director for nearly 20 years, but it does not mean that his influence has decreased.

Whether it is in the royal family, in the army, or among the nobles and veterans,
His influence is still extremely strong.

As long as he is not dead, no one dares to ignore his existence.

But even so, no one thought that they would definitely win the battle with the Queen Mother this time.

Over the past ten years, Empress Dowager Chengtian has penetrated her influence into every aspect of Daliao, her prestige is unparalleled.

Even if Yelu Longxu, Yelu Bianji and others now have the military power,
Even Yeluhuan Yelusheng and other powerful officials shut their mouths and prepared to watch from the sidelines.
Even if Yeluzhen is dead,
Even if Yelu Hongzhen dragged his body that was about to enter the coffin and came to Xijin mansion with his last breath,

In the eyes of many people, at most it is evenly divided.

Not to mention anything else, the [-] Shan troops led by Sun Pu stationed in Xijin Mansion are enough to deter everyone.

Not to mention, there are five thousand cavalry led by Guo Xie stationed in Zhongjing,

Murong Chong, the master craftsman camp under the supervision of the Murong Chong brothers.

Don't think that the craftsman camp despises them because of the word "craftsman",
In Daliao, the craftsman battalion has always been controlled by the military. All the craftsmen and their relatives are organized into military households. They are both craftsmen and soldiers, and their chief generals are brothers Murong Chong and Murong Chao.

And artillery, gunpowder and other things are produced by them.

And these two things have always been the empress dowager's taboo, and outsiders can't get in their hands at all.

The wind is still strong, the snow on the ground has already covered the ankles, and there are long ice edges hanging down under the eaves.

The atmosphere in Xijin Mansion is a bit more dignified than this cold weather.

Everyone knew that Emperor Yeluxian had arrived outside Xijin Mansion and was about to go up the mountain to meet the Queen Mother, but none of the officials of Xijin Mansion dared to go out of the city to meet the emperor at this time.

The emperor stayed at the foot of the mountain all night, and all the yamen lights in Xijinfu City were lit up all night, but none of the officials dared to leave the city.

And the officers and soldiers guarding the city, without any instructions from their superiors, could only close the city gate tremblingly when they arrived.

This is tantamount to shutting their emperor out of the city.

To the relief of all the people in Xijin Mansion, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about them, and did not send anyone to summon them to attach them, which allowed them to avoid the crime of disobedience.

At this point, the emperor is also extremely smart.

Gave both parties a respectable step,
It won't be too embarrassing to meet in the future.

Smart people will all choose to forget today's events,
Then everyone is still a wise king and a virtuous minister.

If you really pierce this piece of paper, how will you get along with each other in the future?
There will be knots in my heart.

The emperor went up the mountain.

Yelu Hongzhen also went up the mountain.

The emperor was alone.

Yelu Hongzhen also only had eight bearers carrying warm sedan chairs.

The emperor and Yeluhong really didn't seem to be negotiating with the queen mother, but they seemed to be pleading guilty.

On the contrary, everyone in Xijin Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses, bleeding and floating around. This is really no joke.

The queen mother has never been a soft-hearted person,
Over the years, hundreds of tribes and families have perished in her hands, and the unit of people is tens of thousands.

The behavior of Yelu Longxu and the others obviously touched the empress dowager's taboo.

When Xiao Ruoshui fled back to Xijin mansion alone, everyone here thought that a civil war was about to break out.

In addition to the big defeat ahead, if civil war breaks out again, Daliao may not have many days to come. Many people here in Xijin Mansion have already begun to contact the Song people.

Nanjing Road was originally the place where the economy of the Daliao Dynasty was the most prosperous, and it was also the place with the most Han families. Of course, it was also the place most closely connected with the Song Dynasty.

Whose house is opposite, there is no little trick yet!
But when the emperor showed such an attitude, everyone felt that the civil war seemed impossible.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

As long as the emperor came down from the mountain safely, the danger would naturally be resolved and invisible.

No one wants to repeat the scene many years ago.

Too many people died in that fight between the Queen Mother and Lin Ping.

Yeluxian stood outside the wooden house,
He saw Sun Chun standing outside the door, looking like he was waiting for him.

Before Sun Chun could speak, Ye Luxian already lifted his robe, and fell to his knees in the snow with a bang.

This move stunned Sun Chun, who was about to greet the arrival of the holy driver, he blinked his eyes for a while before realizing it, and quickly took a few steps sideways, avoiding the front, and then crossed his hands and raised his eyebrows. He bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"I also ask Sun Shilang to report back to his mother, and say that the minister has come to plead guilty!" Ye Luxian looked at Sun Chun, and after Lang Sheng said this, he fell down, folded his hands, and put them on the snow. Forehead touches the ground.

Sun Chun was at a loss, even though he had all kinds of tricks, he never thought that he would be faced with such a scene.

He could only turn around, hold his robe with one hand, and quickly ran inside.

Xiao Chuo was reading a pamphlet,

It was obtained by Sun Chun for him, and it is said that it is some content of Tiangong Kaiwu being compiled by the Academy of Sciences in the Song Dynasty.

Different from the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration that was published publicly and published all over the world earlier, this book is much more mysterious. Sun Chun tried his best, but only found some books that are said to be obtained from the Academy of Sciences. The leftovers that came out.

Hearing Sun Chun's reply, Xiao Chuo laughed, put away the book, and said: "The emperor has been a smart child since he was a child, let's go and meet him."

"Empress Dowager, are you going to Ruoyu Hall?" Sun Chun asked.

"No, let's go to the Humble Hall!" Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "The emperor thought he would face a difficult negotiation today, so let's give him a big surprise!"

Sun Chun sneered and said, "The Queen Mother's foresight is something they can guess, Queen Mother, what I want to see most now is the unbelievable but ecstatic expressions on their faces after talking with you. I still want to see how they will deal with the current predicament without the queen mother's Ninghai magic needle. I also want to see how they will be when the Song army crosses the Yellow River, crosses Guiyi City, and kills them all the way. What kind of appearance!"

"They have the same self-confidence as I did back then, thinking that they are absolutely capable of turning the tide and defeating the most powerful opponent, but the facts have proved that I was wrong." Xiao Chuo said.

"Empress Dowager, or a few years later, when they are killed by the Song army, they will come to look for you again and want to take shelter under your wings!"

"It might be possible for others, but the emperor won't!" Xiao Chuo said as he walked out, "The emperor is just like his father, confident and proud. One day, he would rather die than beg for my mercy." of!"

Stepping out of the door, Ye Luxian, who was still kneeling on the ground, was covered with a layer of snow.

"Emperor, what are you doing? Get up!" Xiao Chuo said calmly while standing under the umbrella.

"Mother, my sons come to plead guilty!" Ye Luxian straightened up, and the snow fell rustlingly.

"What is the emperor's crime? If he is really guilty, he is also my palace!" Xiao Chuo said: "I insisted on the Southern Expedition, and it was my intention to appoint Yeluzhen as the commander. I personally participated in and agreed to all the strategies. Yes, the emperor was not involved."

"Since my minister is the emperor of Daliao, I should bear this responsibility." Ye Luxian insisted loudly.

Xiao Chuo was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Is this why the emperor came here today?"

"In addition to this matter, I also want to come to pay my respects to my mother. Since the start of the Southern Expedition, I have not seen my mother for more than a year, and I miss her very much!"

Xiao Chuo smiled, and looked up at the big warm sedan chair behind him: "Is the prince also missing my palace, that's why he came with the emperor?"

The curtain of the car warmer was lifted halfway by a skinny hand, revealing a face that was not much different from a skeleton, Yelu Hongzhen smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still the same as before, but I am I only have my last breath left, and I want to see you again before I close my eyes, talk to you, and talk about the future of Daliao. The queen mother will not refuse the request of a dying person, right?"

"The prince is blaming me for not visiting you." Xiao Chuo said.

"Don't dare. The Empress Dowager takes care of everything every day. I'm just an idler who is about to die. Besides, the gifts from the Empress Dowager have never been broken during the holidays. My children and grandchildren are all high-ranking and powerful. How dare I complain? Seriously. Because the person is about to die, so I feel nostalgic, and I am particularly worried about the things behind me, the juniors are not reliable, so I want to see the Queen Mother!"

"Okay, since we're here, let's have a good talk, just in time, I also want to talk to you about some things!" Xiao Chuo turned around and went to the expert.

In the Shouzhuo Hall.

The earth dragon was extremely warm, and the room was as warm as spring, four or five steps apart, thick cushions were spread on the floor, Xiao Chuo who stepped into the room didn't say much, and sat down to the left.

Ye Luxian was a little dazed again, and he didn't react until Xiao Chuo pointed to the opposite side of him.

Xiao Chuo has always been at the top,
But today, Xiao Chuo actually let him sit on an equal footing with him.

After hesitating for a moment, Yeluxian sat down cross-legged, and four guards came in carrying Yelu Hongzhen, and put him behind Yeluxian's back.

And Sun Chun knelt and sat behind Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo stared at Yeluxian intently.

Yeluxian's body trembled slightly, until a skinny hand was placed on his back, he managed to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and bravely looked at Xiao Chuo.

"I really didn't expect such a day to come." Xiao Chuo sighed softly. "Emperor, do you know? I'm very happy that you came in person, and you are still respectful to me. It's just that you brought the prince here, but I'm not very happy."

"The Queen Mother can treat me as a dead person!"

Xiao Chuo ignored Yelu Hongzhen, and continued: "It's yours, and it's yours after all. But Emperor, when I want to give you something, I will naturally give it to you. When I don't want to give it to you, you can't give it to you." Robbing, let alone trying to coerce me, it will be counterproductive, you know? Do you think that Yelu Longxu and the others can make me feel afraid when they control the army in the south? It's really a joke."
