Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's camp has reached the north of Zhuozhou thirty miles, he has not received Yelu Honggu's military intelligence report for the past two days, he is a little uncertain, his eyelids jump, he feels that something big will happen in the near future, there is a sense of foreboding in his heart.

At this time, the secretary of the ministry, the governor and the privy envoy Yang Youxuan, the Linhuang Shaoyin Zheng Hongjie and the Wuding military festival envoy Xiao Pidi were gathering together to discuss, they were the core mentors of the Shaozhuang faction in the Great Liao, headed by the privy envoy Yang Youxuan, they were hawkish figures in the Great Liao court, and they had been widely supported by the military behind them, and had always advocated that the Great Liao should adopt a tough posture in dealing with the foreign policy with the Great Song Dynasty, and seek to adopt a high-pressure and deterrent strategy against the Great Song Dynasty; Take the Great Liao as the Zhengshuo, take the Central Plains of the Drinking Horse, and destroy the Great Song Dynasty as its own responsibility.

At this time, Yang Youxuan said: "Two virtuous brothers, I think the Great Song Dynasty will enter the prosperous era, and the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao will be reversed.

First of all, the alliance of the abyss, undefeated and defeated, enshrined the year coin; Now the wings of the Western Xia Party are gradually growing, and it has become a major problem in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty;

However, during the period of the Great Song Dynasty, a stunning genius was born, who gave advice to the Great Song Dynasty, easily solved the dilemma of the Great Song Dynasty, defeated the Western Xia army, captured the land of Hexi, and opened up the Silk Road;

Let the Great Song Dynasty change the national policy of "emphasizing literature over military force", and let the court of the Great Song Dynasty begin to work hard and begin to expand the territory, so they will inevitably take the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun as their own responsibility. ”

Xiao Pidi also continued: "Yang Shu's envoy said very much, now that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, the Great Liao is no longer comparable to it, and my Great Liao soldiers were strong and strong, and the Great Song Dynasty was not worried; Now, if the Great Song Dynasty begins to make a big military effort, with its strong national strength and strong military strength, the Great Liao will be at a disadvantage, and it is very likely to lose the sixteen states of Youyun. ”

Zheng Hongjie also said: "I once went to the Great Song Dynasty with Brother Xiao, and found that the current Great Song Dynasty is many of the previous Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has lost its enterprising spirit since the Battle of Lanyuan; However, since the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the Great Song Dynasty began to change the law, of course, it was a gentle change, if the change was successful, the Great Liao would lose the sixteen states of Youyun and be rejected by the Great Song Dynasty from the Great Wall; If the Song Emperor has a heart, he will hunt in the grassland, first exterminate the Western Xia secession regime of the party members, and then attack the "Black Mountain White Water", and then the Great Liao will be in danger. ”

And Yang Youxuan said: "The emperor has a kind temperament, is good at scheming, and is indecisive. is dedicated to being a king, so our political opinions are not pleasing to Your Majesty; And Concubine Liang is the biological mother of the crown prince, who is ambitious, domineering, resourceful and decisive, quite understands the art of power and strategy, and cultivates her own henchmen and forces in the court; So I had to cling to her as a last resort so that our political views would be recognized and implemented. ”

Zheng Hongjie and Xiao Bibi also sighed, some things can not be taken directly, can only be begged in the song, I believe that few men can accept "Ji Si Chen", it can only be said that Yang Zheng Xiao and the three of them are also ambitious talents, can bend and stretch, lead but not start, do not sing, a blockbuster.

At this time, I saw that in the twilight, there was a war horse galloping from the south, and there was a big Liao soldier curled up on its back, and I saw a huge wound on his back, gurgling and bleeding, he seemed to have no breath at this time, and his life and death were unknown.

The horse seemed to have spirituality, and it seemed to be familiar with the palace, so it carried its master to the Liao Emperor's tent, and the soldiers of the palace division army who stayed behind in the palace hurriedly stepped forward to intercept it, and were immediately overturned to the ground; But it just wandered, that is, around the camp of the Liao Emperor.

When it kicked over more than a dozen palace soldiers who came over, it saw a tall figure appear in front of it, this person was nearly one meter nine tall, and it saw that this person had leopard eyes and was not angry and arrogant.

When he saw this horse, he immediately recognized it, and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's Wufeng, aren't you following the horse?" ”

This person is the head of the war horse battalion in the palace, called Xiao Deyuan, he attaches great importance to the horses in the palace on weekdays, and the strong and fierce war horses in Daliao are represented by Wufeng; He recognized the horse, and when he saw the man on its back, he had a feeling that something was wrong.

Xiao Deyuan hurriedly looked forward, and saw that the "black wind" did not let people approach, and kicked and injured several soldiers who came up one after another, and immediately shocked these people to the ground.

At this time, Xiao Deyuan hurriedly blew a few cool flutes, and saw that the horse suddenly quieted down, it hurriedly ran to Xiao Deyuan's side, and hurriedly sniffed forward, bromine for a while, and saw it snuggling up to Xiao Deyuan's side affectionately, and then bit his clothes with his teeth, and finally let out a mournful sound one after another.

At this time, Xiao Deyuan hurriedly stepped forward, turned the person on his back over, and saw that it was indeed Xiao Pili, he hurriedly checked, and saw that the horse still had breath, but his face was like gold paper, his breath was weak, and the situation was not very optimistic; At this time, a letter fell out of his sleeve, Xiao Deyuan picked it up and saw that it was a piece sealed with fire paint, and he hurriedly presented the piece to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.

Seeing Yelu Longxu take the envelope and quickly tear it open, he saw that it was the chapter of Yelu Honggu, the commander of the Liao army in the south, he hurriedly read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

Eventually, his face changed dramatically, and his cheeks flushed uncharacteristically, and he slammed the piece to the ground.

I heard him cry out angrily: "Yelu Honggu misunderstood me, and the 80,000 army was lost, which is a shame that Daliao has not seen in the past hundred years." How do I explain to my ancestors and ancestors? ”

At this time, he heard an urgent report from outside, and the news of this report was that Zhuozhou was broken by the Song army, Yelu Longxu was angry when he heard it, and his blood surged, he felt that his throat was sweet, and suddenly a mouthful of blood blurted out, and then his eyes rolled and he fainted, and suddenly the palace and eunuch who were present were panicked and made a mess.

Zhang Jian, the prime minister who got the news, just rushed in, he saw the scene of the emperor vomiting blood and fainting, and hurriedly stepped forward to support, and then hurriedly called the imperial doctor to diagnose and rescue him.

After a stick of incense, Yelu Longxu woke up faintly, he was still in a trance in front of him, but he still wanted to struggle to get up, he knew that he must hold on at this time, and he must not fall.

The great enemy is pressing, the Song army may launch an attack on the palace at any time, and Da Liao is already in danger at this time, so he must fight his spirit at this time and stabilize the minds of the people in the palace.

At this time, a pair of soft hands held his hands, and he heard a voice full of surprise: "Your Majesty, are you awake, are you better now?" It's really scared of the concubines, you must cherish the dragon body. ”

Yelu Longxu knew that the person who spoke was Queen Xiao Bodhisattva, and he also sensed the concern of her fist, he shook her hand tightly at this time, and then patted her shoulder, just to tell her that he was okay and reassure her.

His mind was firm, and then he looked down a few times, and found that the prime minister Zhang Jian was also here, and he also saw him with a worried look on his face, he was looking at himself with concern, and Yelu Longxu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

He said to Zhang Jian: "Zhang Xianggong, now I am fine, now that our army has suffered a crushing defeat and the Song army is on the offensive, our top priority is to return to Shangjing, get out of this dangerous place, and do everything in the future." ”

Zhang Jian immediately responded: "What the emperor said is extremely true, but because the emperor suddenly became unconscious, it has caused panic, and now the hearts of the people in the palace are fluctuating, and there are people with ill intentions secretly plotting, and now they want to do mischief to Your Majesty and want to do rebellious things." ”

Yelu Longxu's face changed greatly when he heard this, he knew that now that the crown prince Yelu Zongzhen was also in the camp, there must be some ministers who wanted to do things to support the establishment and wanted to make a contribution to the dragon.

He knew the seriousness of the situation, and he hurriedly took out a token and handed it to Zhang Jian, which was a token for troop transfer.

He said anxiously to Zhang Jian: "Zhang Xianggong, you hurry up and take this token to the palace to divide the army and go to the Detailed Stable Division, and find the detailed and stable Yeluye to come and escort King Qin, so as to deter the younger generation." ”

Zhang Jian said: "Your Majesty, I have already informed General Yeluye in advance, and he is now escorting outside the big tent." Because Wei Chen saw that the matter was urgent, he made an argument and committed the big crime of transferring troops without permission, and asked the emperor to punish him for the crime."

The picture has turned to the palace tent of the good concubine Xiao Yunjin, at this time Yang Youxuan, Zheng Hongjie, and Xiao Pidi are all here to discuss matters, the news of the fiasco of Da Liao on the front line has come, and they are immediately mourned after hearing the news, after all, they are the initiators and advocates of this southern expedition, and they will definitely be attacked for this, and they will eventually be deposed from the center of the court.

At this time, the news that Emperor Yelu Longxu had fainted, and they felt that the opportunity had come, and at this time the prince was in the palace, and they proposed to support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and he had escaped the current responsibility from the dragon's work.

Of course, they first have to do the work of Concubine Xiao Yunjin, at this time Yang Youxuan said: "Concubine Liangniang, now the emperor suddenly fainted, it is in an eventful autumn in Daliao, the Song army has broken through Zhuozhou, only thirty miles away from the palace, so please ask the prince to come out to supervise the country, preside over political affairs, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people and the army." ”

Zheng Hongjie also said: "Concubine Niangniang, the prince is young, although he is in charge of the country, he can't manage the government, and he still needs to follow the example of the Empress Dowager Liu of the Southern Dynasty and listen to the government." ”

Xiao Pidi also echoed in a row, and the three of them at the same time encouraged the good concubine Xiao Yunjin to agree to the prince's imprisonment of the country, and instigated her to listen to the government.

Xiao Yunjin was also moved when she heard it, she still had some concerns, after all, the emperor's situation is unknown now, although he is in a coma for a while, but maybe when it will be fine, then she and the prince will be in an embarrassing situation.

Yang Youxuan and the three of them immediately saw her concerns, and Xiao Pidi said: "The prince is in charge of the country, and there is the support of most of the palace soldiers. ”

Xiao Yunjin suddenly made up her mind when she heard this, she longed for power, and she was very yearning for a life of calling for wind and rain and holding power, at this time she stood up, and her eyes showed a fierce look.

She said; "Privy Envoy Yang, you hurry up and send someone to call Xiao Yuanzheng, the commander of the palace army, and let him lead the troops to guard the emperor's safety, without my permission, no one can meet him."

She also said: "There is also Zhang Jian, Liu Shenxing and others to be strictly guarded, don't affect the prince's imprisonment, about my curtain to listen to the government, you wait to come up with a charter." ”
