After hearing this, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the main purpose of your desire to move to Nanjing is to find and rescue Yanni. ”

Liao Shengzong immediately felt funny when he heard it, and he scratched her nose on the spot.

Then he said with a smile: "The queen is playing a ghost, the two parties must not be offended, let me make up my mind." ”

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva said at this time: "The emperor is a promising holy monarch, and the ministers of both sides are important ministers of the old Cheng ruling the country, and they are also giving advice to the Liao State, each of them has a reason, and it is difficult to choose; But they are still honored by the will of God. However, the concubine thought it was better not to use the sword soldiers. ”

At this time, Concubine Xiao Yunjin also entered the palace, and the ministers of the two sides were still arguing endlessly, and she was also curious, so she immediately asked the reason for the matter, and learned the focus and topic of the dispute between the two sides.

I saw her smile and asked Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, "Sister Queen, what do you think?" ”

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva replied: "Sister Concubine Liang, I think it is better for the emperor to be arbitrary; But the mourning family felt that peace was still precious, and they couldn't use swords and soldiers. ”

Xiao Yunjin said at this time: "Sister Queen is really a muddy, the emperor's original intention was to go to Nanjing for Yanni's business, you should approve with both hands; Why the two ends of the first rat, after all, Yanni is not your own child, right? ”

Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard this.

I heard her sneer at each other: "Concubine Liang, I know that you are anxious for Yanni, and you are not in a hurry, so you will not be as knowledgeable as you, but I ask you to pay attention to proportion, know how to be humble and humble, and don't say some crazy words in the future." ”

Liao Shengzong saw that the two of them were facing Mai Mang, and they were about to quarrel; He looked at the ministers who were almost fighting, and suddenly became angry.

I heard him shout angrily: "Enough, don't make any noise, all go back to their places, I have to think about it now." ”

At this time, Xiao Yunjin suddenly said: "Shengshang, Xiao Xiao came to the palace to listen to his orders, can you listen to him?" ”

When Liao Shengzong heard this, he felt that he could listen to his opinion, at this time, Xiao Pidi and Yang Youxuan were immediately happy when they heard it, Xiao Xiaoxian and they are allies of each other on weekdays, so today's situation will be favorable to their own faction, and the balance of victory will be inclined to their side.

After a while, Xiao Xiaoxian passed the news of the audience, and Liao Shengzong told him his intention to drive Nanjing and the opinions of the ministers, and then asked him to express his opinion.

I heard him say: "Your Majesty, I think that the views of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and Yang Shu's envoy are reasonable, and they are both conspiratorial opinions, it seems that the two are opposed to each other and do not give in to each other, but they can also be each other's inside and outside, each other's yin and yang." ”

When Yang Youxuan heard this, he was immediately disappointed, and he didn't understand why Xiao Xiaoxian didn't support his opinion.

He was not angry and said: "Xiao stays behind, there is no need to detour, there is something to say, but I don't think Prime Minister Zhang's suggestion is useful." ”

When Xiao Xiao heard it first, he also sensed his anger, just complaining that he didn't support his point of view.

He cleared his throat disappreciatively, and then said:

Lao Tzu said: "The way to govern the country, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, doing nothing and doing everything", we must adhere to the golden mean;

In matters of diplomacy, we must "speak warmly and keep a big stick in our hands", and we must not only say nice things to the Great Song Dynasty and maintain the appearance of peace and friendship, but we must also not forget to threaten it with a stick. ”

He went on to say:

"I agree with the Holy Lord's drive to Nanjing, and he can send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate;

The first is to ask Da Song to come forward to rescue the three princesses, and allow Da Liao to send personnel from the department to supervise the case;

The second was to demand that the Great Song cease military hostilities against the Western Xia, and that the Great Liao could mediate and allow the Song and Xia to negotiate peace. If the Great Song Dynasty refused to negotiate peace with the Western Xia, the Great Liao increased troops to the Western Xia border and the Great Song border in the name of suppressing bandits, so as to show the Great Liao's support and maintenance of the Western Xia.

Third, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty had invented a divine weapon, and I also asked the Great Song Dynasty to present the art of making secrets. ”

When Liao Shengzong heard this, he immediately felt that Xiao Xiaoxian's proposal was comprehensive, and it was a combination of the opinions of the two factions, and it was the words of the old Tao, so he adopted his opinion.

He began to move to Nanjing, and ordered the 30,000 leather room troops in Nanjing to feint to the border of the Liao and Song dynasties, and then sent Xiao Xiaomu as a special envoy to the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Xuankong, a senior monk of the Great Song Dynasty, was in the camp, and he was respected by Xiao Yunjin as a guest at this time, and he was told about everything in every detail.

On the way to the army that day, Xiao Yunjin went to ask for a meeting.

At this time, he was sitting in a chariot and was giving lectures to the monks of the Liao State, and when these monks saw Concubine Liang get up, they took their leave.

After seeing the Liao monks leaving, she asked eagerly: "Master Xuankong, this palace asks you to make a divination for my daughter Princess Chen Guo, and I want to ask her if she is okay?" ”

Xuankong announced at this time, "Amitabha." ”

Then he twisted the beads with his left hand, saluted with his right hand and placed it on his chest, and then closed his eyes and chanted words.

When he came to a stick of incense, he opened his eyes, sweating on his head, his face was tired, and he took a sip of water from his cup at this time.

I heard him say: "Concubine Liangniang, in the future, this divination matter, if it is not a major matter, don't ask Lao Ge, because if you leak the secret of heaven, not only will you break Lao Ge's practice, but you will also be punished by God, but for the sake of the princess's thoughtfulness, Lao Ge would rather live for ten years, and do his best." This is a good deed, and the Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" ””

He continued: "Concubine Liangniang, I have the news of Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is now in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and she has escaped from danger, she should have gone to Tokyo." It's time to meet her sweetheart. ”

Xiao Yunjin was shocked when she heard this, and she said: "How is this good, I don't want her to marry the Southern Barbarians of the Great Song Dynasty, the men of the Great Song Dynasty are all weak, and they do not have the heroic and heroic men of the Great Liao." ”

After she finished speaking, she regretted it a little, she realized that she had lost her words, she secretly glanced at Xuankong, and saw him looking at her with a smile.

She muttered, "Master, I am in a hurry, please forgive me for my rude behavior as a mother worrying about her daughter, and forgive me for being speechless." ”

Master Xuankong said to her: "The hard work of the good concubine, the old man understands, but the old man has something to tell you, I would rather tear down a bridge than regret a marriage; If you forcibly interfere with the princess's marriage, you will be punished by heaven, and it will definitely be detrimental to your future affairs. ”

He said again: "Concubine Liangniang, Lao Wei is about to return to the Great Song Dynasty, so I will tell you one more important thing about the current affairs of Lao Qu's fortune calculation, Da Liao is going to raise troops to the south, right?" Lao Ke's assertion is: "The gains outweigh the losses, the things backfire, and the bamboo basket is empty." "Please persuade Emperor Liao, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Xiao Yunjin was shocked when she heard this, she now knew the good news that her daughter Yelu Yanni was safe, and her heart gradually calmed down;

She felt that at this time, she persuaded the emperor to stop going south, firstly, because there was no solid evidence, she would definitely be reprimanded by the emperor, and secondly, she would let her henchmen, allies and herself have a heart of separation, after all, she vetoed the proposal of her allies, which would make them feel guilty, and they would never have the same heart with themselves in the future.

The camp of the Liao Emperor marched non-stop, and in a moment, the day passed, and when the sky was dark, the people and horses of the palace rested on the spot.

In the middle of the night, I saw a dark shadow in a tent in the camp, holding something in his hand, like a bird, and flew into the deep night with a "fluttering sound".
