Empress Dowager Xiao was ambushed and injured by Xian Wuchen, and she returned to the palace, not daring to show that she was injured in the slightest. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Empress Dowager Xiao knew that between the domestic and external troubles of Daliao, once all domestic forces saw that they were injured, then Daliao would be even more unstable, and those with bad intentions would be ready to move, and they would soon stage a forced palace.

The little emperor Xiao Xuanyuan was on the front line of Chudu, because the battle situation was critical, and the second marshal Meishuang, who commanded the battle instead of the little emperor, issued an order to withdraw the troops from Chudu.

It is not easy to smoothly withdraw the Liao army from the Chu capital, because Fengting City, the only way to return to the Liao State, has been occupied by the Western Liang Army.

The prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuan Kuan, led an army of 100,000 to wait in Fengting City, wanting to cut off the Liao army that cut off the way back to catch turtles in the urn.

In order to open the way to life, Meishuang mobilized the most elite Flying Eagle Army, and she sent her most powerful generals, Nighthawk and Mu Rong, to lead the Flying Eagle Army to recover Fengting City. However, the problem is that although the Flying Eagle Army led by Nighthawk and Mu Rong with one arrow is strong, after all, the number of soldiers and horses is too small, so it is very difficult to recover Fengting City, and it is best to attack from the north and south.

So Mei Shuang sent a military report to the Ministry of War and Empress Dowager Xiao to send reinforcements. However, Empress Dowager Xiao really didn't have much loyal to her own army to send, so Empress Dowager Xiao could only send troops from other forces to reinforce.

In the imperial palace of Daliao, the Ministry of War received a letter for help from Vice Marshal Mei Shuang, and the secretary of the Ministry of War first reported to Prime Minister Mo Ye, after all, the Prime Minister is similar to the chief housekeeper of the imperial court, and the large and small affairs of the imperial court are to be asked. This time, all the logistics of the little emperor's southern expedition were under the command of Prime Minister Mo Ye, so it was impossible to hide such a big matter from the prime minister of the imperial court on the front line.

Prime Minister Mo Ye reported the situation to the Empress Dowager Xiao, of course, the Empress Dowager Xiao had already received a secret report and knew the military situation on the front line. However, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Great Liao, the military department Shangshu and Prime Minister Mo Ye would not disclose the military situation on the front line to other unrelated ministers. After all, these front-line military intelligence are all top-secret intelligence.

The little emperor is on the front line, and most of the affairs of the court are handled by Prime Minister Mo Ye, and the Empress Dowager Xiao, as a harem woman, cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the court. Of course, those major military affairs, Prime Minister Mo Ye also had to listen to Empress Dowager Xiao's meaning.

Prime Minister Mo Ye learned that the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuan Kuan, led an army of 100,000 to capture Fengting City, and the prince of Liang not only did not carry out the order to reinforce Fengting City, but instead ordered his confidant Aluge to withdraw from Fengting City without a fight. He knew that Prince Liang took the opportunity to start preparing to force the palace.

At the beginning, Liang Wangye once tested Prime Minister Mo Ye's attitude towards him, Prime Minister Mo Ye's attitude was very ambiguous, although he did not clearly express his support, but he did not express his opposition; However, now Mo Ye asked his younger brother General Mo Jian to lead 30,000 Mo family troops and did not go to reinforce Fengting City. This gave Liang Wang Ye an illusion that Prime Minister Mo Ye was also standing on the same path as himself.

After all, at such a critical and critical moment, Prime Minister Mo Ye asked his younger brother General Mo Jian to lead 30,000 Mo family troops without reinforcing Fengting City. Empress Dowager Xiao, the little emperor will definitely settle accounts in the future, that is to say, Liang Wang Ye thinks that Prime Minister Mo Ye is already difficult to ride a tiger like himself. Therefore, Liang Wang Ye thought that Prime Minister Mo Ye would join forces with him, first defeat the tigress of Empress Dowager Xiao, and then both sides would take what they needed.

Prime Minister Mo Ye actually had other ideas, he learned that this time the little emperor led the army to the south, and the Lin family army led by Lin Haotian, the vanguard of Pingdong, suffered heavy casualties, and now the strength of the Lin family army has been greatly reduced, and it can no longer contain himself, so Prime Minister Mo Ye thinks that he can make a difference.

At this time, Liang Wangye took the opportunity to force the palace. Such an opportunity is really beneficial to himself, so Prime Minister Mo Ye is also ready to take the opportunity to force the palace, and he quietly got the news from his daughter Mo Wuwu, that is, the current queen is not Han Jiangxue herself, but Empress Dowager Xiao is looking for someone to fake.

After all, Mo Wuwu, as a concubine, has had a lot of contact with the fake queen, of course, she can see the flaws, so Mo Wuwu quietly bought Hanjiangxue's girl Swift, the so-called buy-through is actually to please Swift, treat Swift as her own sisterhood, and give her many rare treasures; Then Mo Wuwu carefully observed the swift's behavior, she found something strange from the clues of the swift's words and deeds, and finally she determined that the current queen was not really Han Jiangxue, but the Empress Dowager Xiao found someone to fake.

Prime Minister Mo Ye was overjoyed when he learned the news, but he decided to test Empress Dowager Xiao in person. Empress Dowager Xiao was injured by Xian Wuchen and hid in her inner palace to recuperate, and Prime Minister Mo Ye asked to see Empress Dowager Xiao under the pretext that important military situations needed to be discussed with the Empress Dowager.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao also wanted to have a good chat with Prime Minister Mo Ye in private, Empress Dowager Xiao thought, first, she wanted to test Prime Minister Mo Ye's true intentions; The second Empress Dowager Xiao also wanted to persuade Prime Minister Mo Ye, hoping that Mo Ye could send the Mo family army to reinforce the troops of the little emperor on the front line, which was manifested in attacking Fengting City. The Liao army attacked Fengting City from the north and south, striving to recover Fengting City, so that the Liao army led by the little emperor and Mei Shuang could retreat smoothly.

The Longevity Palace, where Empress Dowager Xiao lived, was one of the three major palaces of the Great Liao Palace; The three harems of the Liao Kingdom are the longevity palace where the queen mother lives; Changchun Palace, where the emperor lived; There is also the Changle Palace where the queen lives.

The Longevity Palace is located on the left rear side of the Changchun Palace where the emperor lives, and the Changchun Palace is separated from the Longevity Palace by the Imperial Garden; On the right side of the Longevity Palace is the Changle Palace where the queen lives, and it is also separated by the imperial garden; The Changle Palace where the queen lives is the Changping Palace where the princess lives on the right side, and the royal garden is also separated from it. As for the emperor's other concubines, these concubines lived in relatively small palaces on both sides of Changchun Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao learned that Prime Minister Mo Ye asked to see him, so she could only dress up in the Longevity Palace to meet him. Prime Minister Mo Ye saw the Empress Dowager Xiao and saluted first.

Empress Dowager Xiao ordered her maid to give Prime Minister Mo Ye a reward, Prime Minister Mo Ye thanked her, and then Prime Minister Mo Ye briefly reported the front-line military situation to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Of course, Prime Minister Mo Ye also knew that Empress Dowager Xiao had a lot of spies on the front line, and the military information on the front line might have reached Empress Dowager Xiao earlier than herself. However, it was routine for him to report like this, and by the way, he wanted to test the meaning of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao quietly listened to Mo Ye's explanation of the front-line military situation, and asked calmly: "Prime Minister Mo, the front-line military situation is so critical now, I don't know what you think, Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Mo Ye is still in the palace in order to test Han Jiangxue? So he pretended to meditate hard and said: "Our Lady Queen Mother, I don't know if the old minister has an idea?"

Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao knew that this old fox wanted to talk about it, so she made a fool of herself, so she said: "Prime Minister Mo, you are an important minister of Da Liao, a pillar of the royal family, and this palace hopes that you can make suggestions for Da Liao."

Prime Minister Mo Ye cleared his throat and said: "Our Lady Queen Mother, now the military situation on the front line is critical, the emperor is unwell, a large number of generals on the front line are sick, and the army commanded by Vice Marshal Mei Shuang is lacking, especially after Fengting City was captured by the Xiliang army, our Daliao army on the front line is in danger of being defeated like a mountain."

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said, "Prime Minister Mo is reasonable, I don't know what the prime minister has to do?" Prime Minister Mo Ye said: "Our Lady Queen Mother, now that the military situation is critical, we must send capable people with the ability to lead the overall situation to clean up the mess."
