Fu Song

Chapter 750 Westward Journey
Following Xiao Chuo's words, the temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply, and everything seemed to be frozen at this moment.

Beads of sweat appeared on Yeluxian's forehead, but his whole body was cold.

At this moment, he really regretted coming up the mountain.

At this moment, he has really realized what it means to be killed by a knife, and me to be a fish.

Life and death, honor and disgrace, at this moment, do your best.

Even if there are thousands of troops outside, on this mountain, in this room, Xiao Chuo only needs to say a word, and everything will be concluded in an instant.

Behind him, Yelu Hongzhen coughed lightly, breaking the cold silence in the room.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor never has such thoughts. Otherwise, why would he come to see you alone? It is said that the royal family has no family affection, but the emperor is sincere and filial to you. With all due respect, the emperor has no blood relationship with you The relationship, it can be like this, it is really different. As for me, a person who is about to die, I don’t actually care about the Queen Mother. The many ordeals I have endured, I, an old bone, have also worked for you! Over the years, the queen mother has hung the curtain, and the old man has not half felt sorry for you!"

Xiao Chuo laughed softly: "The emperor is indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness, but this is also the result of my careful teaching over the years. I have a clear conscience about the emperor's teachings. Whether it is a person or administration, he can do everything. Said it was excellent."

"This point is obvious to everyone in Daliao. That's why the old man is also grateful for the Queen Mother, so he dares to put his face on the face. Although Yelu Longxu and the others are a bit out of line, they dare not speak ill of the Queen Mother, no matter whether they are in front of the people or the queen! The most out of the ordinary Yes, it’s just that the Queen Mother’s idea of ​​governing the country is not in line with them. But Queen Mother, before Yeluzhen’s failure, they did not slack off. Queen Mother, I absolutely do not believe that Yeluzhen was killed by Yelu Longxu.” Yelu Hong Zhen spoke intermittently, coughing while speaking, Xiao Chuo waved his hand, and an eunuch knelt down behind Yelu Hongzhen, gently stroking his back.

"If he dared to say a word of disobedience, he would have died by now!" Xiao Chuo said solemnly. "As for who killed Yeluzhen, it doesn't matter if your letter written in blood came to Yelu Yixin following the emperor's letter."

In an instant, Yeluxian, who had just calmed down, began to shake again.

"Of course, it's nothing wrong!" Xiao Chuo waved his hand: "I actually want to see what you can do in this game of chess. On the whole, your performance is pretty good." That's right. In the future, such an emperor of Daliao may be able to survive the attack of Song State a little longer!"

"Queen!" Yelu Hongzhen's eyes lit up: "You mean?"

"There's actually only one thing for you to go up the mountain today, and that's to let me withdraw the curtain and return to politics, right?"

Yelu Hongzhen didn't speak, he turned to look at Yeluxian.

The Empress Dowager is not an ordinary person. If she plays the role of a filial son and grandson at this time, it will make the Empress Dowager look down on her and have a counterproductive effect.

"Yes!" Ye Luxian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and raised his head bravely: "My son! Under the teaching of my mother, my son is no stranger to governing the country. In fact, many government affairs have been made by my mother. Erchen is dealing with it."

The more he spoke, the bolder he became, and the smoother he became.

"My mother, this time the Jianghuai River was defeated, and my Daliao was greatly hurt. It is time to change course. However, when the national policy changes, someone needs to be responsible for the previous mistakes. Therefore, in the long run, the mother will withdraw the curtain and return to the government. , This is the best time! It is also the most natural thing for everyone in Daliao. In this way, the transition of state affairs can be smooth, and the relationship between our mother and child can still be as usual."

Xiao Chuo looked at Ye Luxian with great interest, and said with a smile: "I would like to know, what would you ask me to do if I really returned to politics? Have you thought about how to deal with me?"

Ye Luxian was slightly stunned, and said after a while: "At that time, the queen mother naturally lived in seclusion in the palace."

Xiao Chuo laughed: "Emperor, have you ever thought about it, even if I withdraw the curtain, return to the government, and return to the deep palace to live in seclusion, will you really be able to control the power? Those people can only follow your orders? As long as As long as I live for a day, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to truly grasp the power."

Ye Luxian was tongue-tied.

How to say?
Tell Xiao Chuo, if this is really the case, will I try to kill you?
Finding death is not the way to find it.

"The old prince is so sophisticated, hasn't he thought about this problem?" Xiao Chuo turned to look at Yelu Hongzhen.

Yelu Hongzhen sighed: "The old man thinks that everyone in the world is fond of being hot and cold. If the Queen Mother really wants to live in seclusion in the palace, even if there are still buddies, most of them will definitely hesitate and turn around. They can always be bought. When it is really a last resort, I have no choice but to take the last step. A queen dowager who lives in the deep palace, even if she still has real power in her hands, is not the same as listening to the government behind a curtain."

Xiao Chuo nodded again and again, "Emperor, have you seen it? This is the old saying. If you really want to take power, you have to kill me!"

"I really never thought about it like this!" Ye Luxian was sweating profusely.

"It's okay to think about it!" Xiao Chuo said lightly: "Xian'er, when you followed me, you were only in your early two years old. Although you were not born by me, I raised you. Very early on, I thought that I would There will be a day like today. No matter whether I fail or succeed in the Southern Song Dynasty, how can an emperor with ideas and abilities be willing to be a puppet all the time? You were taught by me, and I naturally know what abilities you have. Yes. In the past two years, you have done a lot of homework."

"Mother, I."

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Xiao Chuo continued, "On the contrary, I'll be very relieved, because I've been planning how to deal with this situation from a very early age."

"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to do?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.

"I will leave!" Xiao Chuo said calmly.

"Leave?" Yelu Hong was really surprised, "Queen Mother, are you planning to return to the Song Dynasty? But you are the Queen Mother of Daliao. If this is the case, the old man will never agree."

"I've already been an eagle soaring above the nine heavens, how could I be willing to be a canary in a cage?" Xiao Chuo sneered, "My lord, didn't you let me return to politics? , no problem, Daliao, give it to the emperor. I, will go to open up another world!"

"Where are you going?" Yelu Hongzhen was puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized: "West, Yelumin, King of Zhenbei!"

"That's right. Before the Southern Expedition, I ordered Yelumin to lead his troops to open up to the west. Yelumin lived up to expectations. He wiped out Heikhan, Huacizimo and other countries. Now he has stopped advancing and is waiting for me to join him. "Xiao Chuo said: "Actually, no matter whether the Southern Expedition wins or loses, I will leave. Daliao will be returned to the emperor. Daliao is just a tool to me. I use him to achieve my goal. Basically, all my wishes have been fulfilled. Although I lost badly in the final contest, it’s nothing. I can afford it and let it go. I’m happy to win and I’m happy to lose!”

"The Queen Mother is going west, how will the imperial court explain to the thousands of subjects?" Ye Luxian's voice trembled, both joy and anxiety.

The joy is that it seems that what the queen mother said about returning to power is true, but the queen mother who has gone west is like a sharp knife hanging above her head all the time. When will she want to come back again?

"When the first emperor was around, he held his bowl at four o'clock, but he seldom stationed in Shangjing. This is also the reason why I can take all the power in my hands step by step." Xiao Chuo said: "This time I go west, the emperor can promote it. I am also going to control the bowl. The west is unstable and needs people to patrol and suppress it. This is a tradition for us in Daliao. As for whether the emperor can clean up the situation after I leave, it depends on your ability. But No matter what, I'm not going to turn back, no matter if it's good or stay, emperor, please do it yourself!"

"Is the Queen Mother planning to stay in Huacizimo forever?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.

"This world is very big, very big! Going west, there is a wider field worthy of my exploration." Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "I failed to go south, so I will go west to have a look! In the west, I I probably won't meet anyone more powerful than me!"

Yelu Hong really let out a long breath. So far, he confirmed that Xiao Chuo was indeed preparing to leave, which is undoubtedly a lucky thing.

To be honest, even if the Queen Mother really lives in seclusion in the palace, how to deal with her party members is really a difficult thing.

If you don't deal with it, then the queen mother will not remove the curtain, and if you deal with it, it is very likely to cause a backlash.

Now the queen mother is going to leave, and she is going to take her followers with her. Of course, this is the most ideal thing.

Speaking of it, this is still Daliao expanding its territory outward!

This makes sense in terms of reason. Daliao suffered a defeat in the south and suffered a loss. Naturally, it has to make up for it in other places. The west is Daliao's next target.

Daliao went up and down, and there would be no doubts about this. In this way, the impact of this political turmoil could be minimized, thus smoothly transitioning Daliao from the era of Xiao Chuo to the era of Yeluxian.

"In this way, the old minister wishes the empress dowager a smooth journey to the west. Anyone who tries to block the empress dowager's footsteps will be crushed by the empress dowager." From sitting cross-legged to kneeling, Yelu Hongzhen touched the ground with his forehead and turned to Xiao Chuo Give a big gift.

Seeing this, Ye Luxian hurriedly saluted Xiao Chuo to thank him.

They have been worried that Xiao Chuo will not let go of power, because from the past, once the people in power let go of power, the end is generally not very good. This is not because the new power is cruel, but has to do it.

But Xiao Chuo arranged everything early on.

Judging from her tone, even if Nanzheng wins, she will leave.

"Although the current Daliao has suffered a big defeat, its strength is only stronger than when Yelujun was alive!" Xiao Chuo said: "On this level, I am worthy of Yelujun, but The enemies you encounter in the future will be even stronger, I don’t care what will happen to Daliao in the future, but it depends on your own good fortune!”
