back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 460 Ci Yiren and the Empress Dowager

Yeluliang was old and mature, and when he caught a glimpse of Yelu Chongyuan's profile, he saw some clues in his eyes.Yeluliang pondered in his heart: "What is the emperor's uncle proud of? Logically speaking, he is at a disadvantage...could it be...?"

Yeluliang thought of a possibility, and looked at the emperor's uncle in fear. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, and he was startled: "Mr. Zhi from the South Courtyard, the Empress has something to call for you."

Yeluliang looked back and saw that it was a servant.He was well-informed, so he couldn't help but think a little too much: "Why is the queen summoning me at this time?"

Confused, he still followed the servant to Mingwang Tower.After entering Huixinyuan, Yeluliang saw Xiao Guanyin sitting upright.Yeluliang is an upright gentleman, and when he saw the queen, he naturally had to salute: "Your servant Yeluliang pays homage to the empress, I don't know if the empress has summoned me, what is the matter?"

Xiao Guanyin said: "I heard that this morning, His Majesty said that he would go hunting in Taizi Mountain?"

After Yeluliang heard this, he looked up at Xiao Guanyin in astonishment, and thought, "How did the empress know this news so quickly?"

Xiao Guanyin seemed to have read his mind, and said with a smile: "It's not that I want to interfere in the government affairs, but that Xiao Hudu came to inform me yesterday that someone was plotting to rebel. I didn't believe it at first, but Xiao Hudu said that he knew the truth behind the conspiracy. People will spread rumors to lure His Majesty to hunt. Now it seems that what he said is not groundless..."

Yeluliang is also a person who is familiar with classics and history, and he also knows the idioms of the Han people. He quickly said: "That's right, Yelu Yixin, the co-prefect of the Northern Academy today, indeed said that there was a white tiger in Taizi Mountain. His Majesty decided to hunt for it. Go hunting. Empress, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?"

When Xiao Guanyin first heard the news, she was also very surprised.In the blink of an eye, she thought of Yeluliang.As a veteran minister, Yeluliang was sent to Dashun as an envoy.Although he returned in humiliation, he won the strike between the two countries of Shunliao and communicated with each other. No one can deny the credit for this.In addition, Yeluliang is a gentleman and worthy of trust, so Xiao Guanyin dared to discuss with him.

"Whether it's true or not, you should be more careful. Your Majesty has not been back and forth for many days, and I tried to persuade him, but I can't do anything. For the sake of the rise and fall of Daliao, I implore Your Majesty to take back the hunt." Thoughts!" After Xiao Guanyin finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Yeluliang.

This was terrible, and Yeluliang was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Young lady, don't do this, the old minister can't bear such a big gift!"

After supporting Xiao Guanyin, Yeluliang hesitated.He is not stupid, he is very clear about Yelu Hongji's temperament.How easy is it to persuade him to withdraw his will now?Unless Yelu Yixin, whom Yelu Hongji trusted the most, came forward, it would be possible to give up.But the instigator of this matter was Yelu Yixin, how could he be willing to do the thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall?
When Yeluliang mentioned this concern, Xiao Guanyin also knew that it was quite difficult to deal with. "What should we do? If His Majesty is surrounded by people with evil intentions, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?" Xiao Guanyin's delicate face was filled with worry.

Yeluliang cautiously asked: "Old minister, one more question, is the person who the empress spoke of as a traitor the emperor's uncle?"

Xiao Guanyin was inexplicably shocked: "Could it be that the fellow magistrates of the Southern Academy have also heard about this?"

Yeluliang shook his head and said, "No, at the morning court today, Uncle Huang was uncharacteristically asking His Majesty to put state affairs first and not go hunting."

Hearing this, Xiao Guanyin said in surprise: "So, isn't the emperor's uncle a loyal minister?"

"Empress, you are also bewitched by him. Uncle Huang's move made Jin Chan escape, and he tried his best to get rid of his suspicion. It can not only make the ministers of the court think that Uncle Huang is still loyal to Daliao, but also catch His Majesty by surprise. , This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone! If he hadn't been uncharacteristically, and couldn't hide the smug look in his eyes, the veteran wouldn't have been able to find it either." Yeluliang said hastily.

Xiao Guanyin said angrily: "After all, it is the Nanyuan Tongzhi who knows people with his eyes, but this emperor's uncle has such bad intentions, what should we do?"

Yeluliang pondered for a long time before saying: "If you try to persuade Your Majesty right now, His Majesty will definitely not listen to you. But there is one person who can still persuade Your Majesty."

Xiao Guanyin is worthy of being a smart person, hearing the strings and knowing the elegance, he immediately said comprehensibly: "Empress Dowager!"

"That's right, the Empress Dowager, His Majesty's biological mother." Yeluliang nodded and said.Yelu Hongji's biological mother was Xiao Tali, the real queen of Yeluzong of Xingzong of Liao Dynasty.After Liao Xingzong's death, Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne, respected Xiao Tali as the empress dowager, and added the honorary titles of Ci Yiren and Wen Huixiaoguang Jingaizong Emperor Empress Dowager.Because the title is too long, they are usually called Ci Yiren and Empress Dowager.Xiao Tali was a powerful empress dowager, and it was precisely because she stabilized the court that Yelu Hongji ascended the throne smoothly.It can be said that the best opportunity for Yelu Chongyuan to cause chaos was the period after Liao Xingzong's death. The Empress Dowager Xiao Tali was born to be the nemesis of Yelu Chongyuan. There is no way to start.

Xiao Guanyin naturally understood the empress dowager's meaning to Yelu Hongji, and immediately said: "As a queen, if I interfere with the government affairs, your majesty will not like it. This matter has been known by the Laonan Academy. The rise and fall of the Daliao depends entirely on you." body!"

When Yeluliang heard the words, he immediately felt the heavy pressure, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is duty-bound!"

Xiao Guanyin got up again, bowed to Yeluliang, and said sincerely: "I am in the Huixin Academy, waiting for the good news from the acquaintance of the South Academy!"

Yeluliang was already on guard, and quickly held up Xiao Guanyin's lotus arms, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty, don't do this, kill the old minister. The old minister will go to the Empress Dowager and ask her to come forward to persuade Your Majesty. But Your Majesty's temperament is that the Queen Your Majesty also knows that, I am afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to change his mind. However, it is still possible to ask His Majesty to increase the bodyguards..."

"I've heard that the colleagues of the Southern Court are calm and steady. Now I see it, it's really good. This is already a good result. As long as His Majesty has enough guards, how can the emperor's uncle have a chance?" Xiao Guanyin laughed, knowing This is the best result that can be achieved.Her smile was overwhelming, even Yeluliang felt extremely comfortable after seeing it.

Yeluliang didn't dare to read any more, fearing that he would desecrate the empress Xiao Guanyin, so he saluted again: "This matter should not be delayed, the old minister will leave first!"

Xiao Guanyin also got up and said: "The fellow-prefect of the South Campus is good to go, Mo Xiang, you send the fellow-prefect of the South Campus back to the Xinyuan."

"I would like to obey the edict, empress." The maid behind Xiao Guanyin said, she walked out of the Huixinyuan next to Yeluliang, and then sent him to the residence of Empress Dowager Xiao Tali, until Yeluliang got permission to enter, Mo Xiang went back to report the details to Xiao Guanyin.It can be seen from this that Xiao Guanyin's scheming is also very powerful, she was also afraid that Yeluliang would turn back on his promise, so she sent a personal maid to follow him all the way.Seeing that Yeluliang was summoned by Xiao Tali, she could really feel relieved...
