At this time, Secretary Shang hurriedly came in from the side hall and gave a brocade box.

It was another secret report from the secret supervisor, and Gao Gong said publicly, he caught the messenger that Song Yanwu was about to send to the Khitan, and found the secret letter of the wax pill from his body.

In the brocade box, there is a handwritten letter from Song Yanwu, obviously, he has no sense of precaution at all, whether it is the beginning of "His Royal Highness King Zhao" or the "Zhongjian" at the beginning, there is no concealment.

It turned out that it was the Khitan Zhao King, no wonder.

Gao Xun, the king of Khitan Zhao, was a native of the Central Plains and the son of Gao Xintao, the king of Beiping in the Jin Dynasty five generations later.

In that year, the Khitan invaded the south, Gao Xun followed Shangguan to surrender to Liao, and after the Khitan broke through Bianjing and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, Gao Xun was reused, moved all the way, was named the king of Zhao, worshiped as the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, the governor of the government, and the general Han military, that is, the first person in the Khitan to manage the Youyun Prefectures.

On the contrary, the king of the Southern Courtyard actually belongs to the northern official line, and has nothing to do with the Youyun Prefectures.

This is based on the true information obtained from the detailed work of the lurking Khitan land, and I used to think that the king of the Southern Courtyard was in charge of the affairs of Youyun, but I was wrong.

Gao Xun and Song Yanwu's parents were both important ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, but the circumstances were different, one became an important minister of the Liao State, and the other stayed in the Central Plains, but I don't know that Song Yanwu was dissatisfied with this dynasty, did he take the initiative to send a letter to Gao Xun, or Gao Xun learned about this through what channel, and first communicated with Song Yanwu.

All this, just wait for Yang Zhao to investigate.

Lu Ning signaled, and Secretary Shang passed the secret letter written by Song Yanwu to Gao Xun to the cabinet ministers.

All the ministers looked at each other, Fan Zhen first scolded, the old man's white beard stood up, and he scolded Song Yanwu as a "traitor".

Back then, Fan Zhen worked for Li Chongjin, and wrote to Song Yanwu many times to recruit Song Yanwu and Wu Shengjun, but Song Yanwu never replied, obviously the old man has been dissatisfied in his heart, and he has been resentful for a long time, and today he finally has a channel to vent.

"The special office, it seems that we are going to work harder." Lu Ning looked at Zhao Pu, "Zeping, you help me draw up a decree, take the title of the Song Yanwu clan, give Yang Zhaoshang the sword, and handle the case on my behalf!" ”

Zhao Pu was busy, and his heart beat a drum, this Lu Daping case is obviously going to become Song Yanwu's case, but I don't know how many officials will be implicated, but it is just when the Holy Son of Heaven is about to leave Beijing to drive the royal expedition in person, but don't make any trouble.

The sword of Shang Fang seems to have gradually become customized in this dynasty, and it is given to the cha who performs important official duties.

"Okay, let's discuss the Northern Expedition!" Lu Ning made gestures, and a few angry courtiers gradually quieted down.

……

The army in front of the palace, the Shenwu army, and the Beijing garrison army were drawn in turn, and the reserve army of the Beijing garrison camp temporarily became a baggage team, transporting ordnance and bringing rations for 30 days.

At the same time, all prefectures and prefectures in Zhili Province began to mobilize the people to train and transport grain from Bianjing to Liaozhou.

On the contrary, Shenzhou and Hebei Daying have been stockpiling grain, and almost half of the surplus grain that enters Bianjing every year will be transported to Shenzhou.

The mobilized people in Hebei and Shandong also rushed to Shenzhou.

More than ten days later, Lu Ning received another secret report from the Khitan from the secret supervisor.

Xiao Siwen and other important ministers, in Shangjing, supported the younger brother of the sleeping king Yelujing, the Taiping king Yelugang Sage as the emperor, the honorific title of Tianzan Emperor, and changed the year name to Baoning.

The new emperor Yelu Gang Sage then made Xiao Siwen's eldest daughter Illeran the queen.

It's the same routine as in history, but the protagonist has changed.

Historically, Xiao Siwen, an important minister of the Khitan Three Dynasties, supported Yelujing's cousin Yeluxian.

But now, Ye Luxian is just fourteen or fifteen years old, obviously fledgling, and has not gathered a group of civil and military ministers who support him as in history.

Yes, Xiao Siwen and others, the role of the champion has become the Taiping King, the brother of the sleeping king.

Historically, after Xiao Siwen supported Yeluxian, Yeluxian chose Xiao Siwen's third daughter Xiao Sui as the concubine, and after more than a month, she was registered as the queen.

Xiao Xuan, that is, the famous Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan in history.

And now, Xiao Sui is just about ten years old, and Yelu Gangsage, the new emperor of the Liao State, has registered Xiao Siwen's eldest daughter Ilean as the queen.

Speaking of which, the three sisters of Xiao Xuan, and the eldest sister Ileland are not very legendary.

Xiao Xuan's second sister and Han, also known as Hu Yuan, are also extremely powerful characters.

Historically, it should be the Taiping King who married Hehan, and it was a marriage arranged by Xiao Sui in order to consolidate Yeluxian's throne and win over the Khitan royal family, but within a few years of marriage, the Taiping King died of illness and was posthumously named the imperial uncle, and He Han became the imperial concubine.

In the history of Liao, several Hehan deeds have been recorded.

The party invaded, Xiao Xuan ordered his sister and Concubine Han to be the chief soldiers of the Northwest Wugu Department, and at the same time led part of the troops of the Wugu Department and Yongxing Palace to the northwest to quell the rebellion, and Xiao Dalin was the deputy of Concubine Han.

After this great victory, Hehan has been guarding the northwest, and playing sparsely, building three cities in the northwest, and placing the city of Kedun as the town, which is also the beginning of the Liao State in the Mongolian steppe to set up the northwest road to recruit divisions.

The city of Kedun, or Zhenzhou, was more than 200 miles west of Ulaanbaatar in later times, in the upper reaches of the Orkhon River.

He guarded the northwest for more than ten years, expeditioned to the Western Regions, made the tribes submit, and opened thousands of miles of land for the Liao State.

After that, the historical record is more vague, and Han was edicted back to Beijing, and was imprisoned almost at the same time as his eldest sister Ileland, and Han was imprisoned in Huaizhou, and Ilelan was imprisoned in Youzhou, all of whom were accused of rebellion, and a year later, he was killed by a colt.

Judging from the fact that Xiao Sui imprisoned the eldest sister and the second sister at the same time, and gave them to death, Xiao Xuan also died of illness.

Obviously, it was Xiao Yu who was thinking about the aftermath and her children and grandchildren, which cleared the unstable factors she thought.

Nowadays, the wheel of history has changed direction, and the Xiao sisters, in a different way, have begun to appear on the stage of history.

While Lu Ning received the Khitan secret report, he was also concerned about Song Yanwu's case.

Song Yanwu has been robbed and put in prison, and Lu Ning even summoned Yang Zhao to give a face-to-face lecture, but neither of them mentioned the person of the General Office of the General Office, and the General Office of the General Office was sent out of the Special Office because of the northern border affairs.

A few days later, just as Lu Ning was about to leave for Liaozhou, Li Yu's family arrived in Bianjing.

After not seeing each other for a few years, after the Great Zhou Dynasty, he gave birth to a son and a daughter for Li Yu, and had a concubine, giving birth to two sons and two daughters.

Li Zhongyu, the eldest son born after the Great Zhou, is five years old.

It was in the Ning Xin Building of the Imperial Garden, looking at the old and young kowtows of this family, as well as the infant toddler, Lu Ning was a little stunned, this Li Yu is quite able to add Ding to import.

Lu Ning deliberately did not summon Li Yu in the main hall, but chose Ningxin Building, which was full of life, and asked the concubine and Concubine De to accompany him, just to have a harmonious atmosphere.

Moreover, Xiao Zhouhou called the concubine and Concubine De's mother.

Since her father's death, Xiao Zhouhou has been living with her sister, she wears a bisaro dress, which is incomparably beautiful and quiet.

Calculating the age, he is thirteen years old this year, but he is also fourteen years old.

Seeing a bunch of people kneeling down and kowtowing, Lu Ning hurriedly said, "Get up, get up quickly." He said to Xiao Zhouhou again: "Xiang'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown up, and what do you call me?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou, like Da Zhouhou and Li Yu, knelt down and kowtowed, calling Lu Ning "Your Majesty".
