back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 457

"Your Majesty, Xiao Hudu, the resident duty officer, is asking to see you."

In Huixinyuan, a court lady said to Xiao Guanyin respectfully.

In front of the bronze mirror, a woman with curled up black hair and cloudy temples, with slightly pink lips painted in pink and black, was imprinted in the bronze mirror.Because Xiao Guanyin likes the culture of the Han people, even the clothes are similar to the Han people.I saw her without makeup, crowned with emerald flowers and jade ears, dressed in a yellow brocade robe, tied with a white brocade belt, sitting on a bearded stool covered with carpets, and covered her feet with a brocade skirt.Those beautiful feet where the blood vessels can be seen, even the palace maids were shocked when they saw them.

"Why is this country uncle here again?" Xiao Guanyin frowned and said impatiently.

The court lady said calmly: "Your Majesty, maybe it's the uncle of the country, what's the matter?"

Xiao Guanyin said with a smile: "What could be the matter, it's nothing more than coming here to tell stories. This country uncle has no other skills, but his tongue-tasting ability is better than some gossips. By the way, why hasn't His Majesty returned to the palace yet? "

The palace maid heard the words and was speechless.Xiao Guanyin is a woman of Hui Xinlan's nature. She couldn't see the abnormality of the maid, and she was angry and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has gone to Concubine Hui's place again?"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves don't tell the truth, but..."

"Okay, I know your difficulties. Forget it, since His Majesty has already gone to Concubine Hui, you can invite Uncle Guo in. This time, I want to see what he has to say?" Xiao Avalokitesvara sighed faintly, and said in a somewhat dispirited manner.

The court lady led the order out of Huixinyuan, and Xiao Hudu, who was guarding outside the King Ming Building, was waiting anxiously.After seeing the maid came out, she was overjoyed: "The queen let me in?"

The maid nodded and said: "Speak softly, if someone sees it, they will think you want to pass the song secretly!"

Xiao Hudu smiled and said: "How is it possible, I waved back my subordinates, besides, who is so bold to go to Mingwang Tower to act wild?"

The palace lady gave a "puchi" smile, her smile was self-evident: "You are the only country uncle who is so bold!" Xiao Hudu also knew his problem, and followed behind the palace lady embarrassingly.It has to be said that Xiao Guanyin's methods are very clever, at least the maids in Huixinyuan are all her confidantes, no one dares to say anything more.If it wasn't for Xiao Hudu's crime of trespassing into the harem, it would be enough to kill him.Not to mention that he took advantage of the power to enter and exit the harem, which was even more sinful. Even the uncle of the country would be deprived of his power and exiled to the frontier.

Liao Kingdom is the same as Dashun, the empress and palace are the realm of foreign ministers.No one can enter unless there is a will.Xiao Hudu followed the maid's footsteps, skillfully walked in from the path, zigzag through one pavilion after another, and finally came to Huixinyuan.

After obtaining permission, Xiao Hudu was able to enter the building.When he saw the back of this cousin's niece, he still couldn't help being amazed.Most Khitan women are relatively "rough", but Xiao Guanyin is definitely an exception, she is beautiful and beautiful, even more beautiful than ordinary Central Plains women.Coupled with familiarity with poetry, it adds a bit of temperament.

Xiao Hudu was stunned for a while before he quickly said: "Xiao Hudu, the chief officer, pays his respects to the Empress!"

Xiao Guanyin turned around, with a hint of helplessness on her bright and charming face, and said, "Uncle Guo, what do you want to say this time?"

Xiao Hudu raised his head and saw Xiao Guanyin, only to see that she was only wearing a dark blue brocade dress, with white plum blossoms embroidered on the skirt, and her slender waist, which was unbearable to grasp, was tied with a white brocade belt. live.The beautiful hair is tied into a wishful bun, and only a white jade hairpin with plum blossoms is inserted.Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant.The dumbfounded Xiao Hudu didn't know what to say for a moment, he just stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, forgetting that she was his cousin...

Xiao Guanyin knew this cousin's temperament, not to mention greedy for money and power, fortunately she was a womanizer.After asking angrily for the second time, Xiao Hudu finally came to his senses.This woman is the queen of Daliao, and her status and power are beyond his reach, let alone her relationship with her cousin and niece.Although nomadic women are a kind of property, it is common for brothers to marry brothers, and even mothers to marry sons.But the queen of Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, how can he, Xiao Hudu, get his hands on it?
Xiao Hudu restrained his lust for a while, and said quickly: "Queen, you have to save me this time!"

Xiao Guanyin frowned, and said in a muffled voice, "Did you get into trouble again?"

Every time Xiao Hudu got into trouble, he would let Xiao Guanyin handle the funeral for him.After listening to Xiao Hudu's familiar dialogue, Xiao Guanyin blurted out this sentence naturally without thinking.

"Queen, it's not me who caused trouble this time, but someone who wants to rebel!" Xiao Hudu said with tears.

Since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, there have been too many rebellious incidents.Because the patriarch of each tribe holds military power, why can you be the emperor and I can't?Khitan officials, nobles, especially clan princes and kings all have their own standing armed forces.It can range from hundreds to tens of thousands!However, the standing army controlled by the emperor or royal family of Liao was very limited.This directly led to the early days of the Liao Kingdom. There were many rebellion incidents in which the nobles, especially the clan princes and kings, relied on their own private forces to launch rebellions and threaten the imperial power. , or after dispatching troops, he had a different intention before the battle, or even simply faced the enemy and took the opportunity to kill the king and usurp the throne!
From Jingzong of Liao Dynasty, under the plan of Empress Xiao Chuo.The Liao State began large-scale reforms, the focus of which was to attack and weaken the private forces of the kings.Such a fatal move naturally aroused fierce resistance from the kings.However, the Queen Xiao Chuo, who refused to let her bearded eyebrows, suppressed some of this and divided and ruled, which weakened the power of the kings to a large extent.This ended the internal turmoil in the Liao Kingdom, but there were still ambitious clan kings eyeing the throne covetously.

Xiao Guanyin is smart and beautiful, how could he not know that this is a serious crime of beheading?He was so frightened that the wooden comb in his hand fell to the ground, and he shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Guo, you also participated?"

Xiao Hudu smiled wryly, and said, "I didn't do it voluntarily, but I was forced! I..."

Xiao Guanyin suddenly came to his senses, and signaled Xiao Hudu to shut up first, then called his personal maid, and after stepping away from the screen, he asked with a gloomy face, "What's going on here?"

"Uncle Huang wants to rebel!"

Xiao Hudu's words were not surprising, and he threw out this heavy news as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Xiao Guanyin a little dizzy: "Uncle Huang, how is this possible! Your Majesty said that anyone will rebel, but Uncle Huang is It is impossible to rebel!" No wonder Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin didn't believe it, there was once a throne in front of Yelu Chongyuan, but he still gave it up.If Yelu Chongyuan had chosen to remain silent when Empress Dowager Xiao Yujin was regent and conspired to establish Yelu Chongyuan as emperor after the death of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, he would have been the emperor of Liao Kingdom long ago...
