Compared with the bustle of the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City, the Liao Dynasty's Xijin Mansion did not have the atmosphere of the New Year at all, and the contradiction between the emperor and the imperial uncle could feel the tension between the two sides even if people who were not politically savvy.

The reason for all this is the supreme struggle for imperial power, and no one is willing to give up, even if Yelu Shigeyuan knows that his hope is slim and even the risk of the entire family being destroyed, he has lost his mind at the instigation of his son Yelu Nerugu.

If it was only at the instigation of his son, Yelu Chongyuan would not be so crazy, now he is no longer what he said, and when he looked back, he found that he was already riding a tiger and was a courtier who took refuge in him, and there were a large number of officials, Chen Liu, King Chen, and Xiao Hujian, the privy secretary of the Zhibei Yuan, who was not an important minister of the court? At this time, Yelu Chongyuan could no longer hesitate, nor could he go back to the past, and under the entanglement of interests, he could only move forward.

Rebellion is a road of no return, once you go on, there is no possibility of stopping, as Zhao Zhen said, Yelu Chongyuan lost the best opportunity, and did the most undesirable thing, now Yelu Hongji's mother and son have ascended to the high throne, which also means that Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion will not have much chance of winning.

Song Xiaoyi saw clearly in the capital, and sure enough, as the official said, this Yelu Chongyuan will kill himself, and he is well-informed, he already knows how many hole cards Yelu Chongyuan has in his hand, and he also knows the hole cards in the hands of the Liao Emperor and the Queen Mother.

What made Song Xiaoyi strange was why the emperor and the queen mother, who had the advantage, didn't make a move, and they were fully capable of getting rid of Yelu Chongyuan, why should they let him go? Is it because of the name of the imperial uncle? Or is it because Yelu Chongyuan allowed the emperor to succeed to the throne smoothly?

Song Xiaoyi himself can see clearly as a Song person, why the emperor of the Liao Dynasty did not do it, to say that the emperor and the queen mother had no conspiracy, and killed Song Xiaoyi did not believe it, but the emperor is now rewarding and treating Yelu Chongyuan better and better, it is simply extremely favorable, first crowned as the emperor's uncle, and then crowned the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, although it is nominal, but it can be exempted from worshipping the emperor, and give gold coupons, four hats and two-color robes, which is the highest preferential treatment in the clan!

These treatments are basically about to hold Yelu Chongyuan to the sky, and the courtiers will inevitably have other thoughts when they see it, so naturally more people will secretly take refuge in Yelu Chongyuan, obviously this is a bad move by the Liao Emperor, but Song Xiaoyi did not dare to slack off, and closely observed the changes in Shangjing Road.

His Song Xiaoyi's business in Shangjing Road is quite good, no matter what the situation is, the business still has to be carried out normally, the most useful thing that the Liao Dynasty learned from the Great Song Dynasty is the tax policy, and there is a more appropriate commercial tax policy than the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Song people and merchants are greedy, and they are taxed according to each commodity.

That is to say, if your shop sells more things, the tax collected is not as much as the tax collected in the Great Song Dynasty, because the tax collected in the Great Song Dynasty is based on the total amount of profits, which is obviously an important means for the Liao Dynasty to attract merchants.

The goods from Da Song arrived at the business, Song Xiaoyi pulled the list to check the goods as usual, but on the last page, he found a strange set of numbers, separated by small tadpole-like symbols, and his fingers gently and privately put the page in his mouth while no one was paying attention, hmm...... The taste of glutinous rice paper is still good.

Back in the store, Song Xiaoyi took down the words from the full bookshelf, recalled the number just now and spliced out the secret letter, and was immediately shocked, there was no superfluous content on the secret letter, only a sentence from the official family, the Empress Dowager Xiao Tart of the Liao Dynasty is not an ordinary person, this woman is wise, thoughtful, and careful.

Song Xiaoyi has always focused on the emperor, and rarely paid attention to the queen mother, who was highly evaluated by the official family, and was reminded by the official family at this time, Song Xiaoyi suddenly found that his direction seemed to be wrong, and he should pay more attention to the body of the queen mother of the deep palace.

And there is very little information about the queen mother in his hands, he only knows that the queen mother is just a product of a purely political marriage, and she is also a pawn of the demon queen Xiao Yunjin's regent, but it doesn't seem to have played a role.

Song Xiaoyi frowned and thought about the information about Xiao Tart, and the most about her was her appearance and personality, she was dignified, polite and elegant, and never exceeded her duty in words and deeds. It is said that Xiao Tart is like a full moon inside, with starry eyes, moderate manners, and radiant people, and those who have a good face look at it and praise it are full of praise, thinking that it is rich and noble, and it is rare to have one among thousands of people, and it is rare in the world.

Could it be that everyone in the world has been deceived by her soft personality and beautiful looks? Song Xiaoyi immediately asked people to summarize the information about the Empress Dowager Xiao Tart, and in the underground secret room of the firm, Song Xiaoyi made an astonishing discovery.

During the chaos of the Demon Queen, Xiao Tartli believed that her aunt, the Empress Dowager of the Emperor Fa, was not in the regent or pre-government, but in the chaos and bad government, which had a very bad impact on the rule of the Khitan Dynasty. Although he has asked about political affairs, he is a good wife of the monarch, and he is relaxed, and he is a rare soft voice in the political participation song of the Khitan Dynasty concubines, and it is also a rare model person for the Khitan concubines.

No wonder Yelu Zongzhen's edict pointed out that Xiao Tzuli should be in charge of the country, and now Xiao Tzuli did not handle political affairs by himself at all, but pushed Emperor Liao to the front of the people, just this alone shows how correct Yelu Zongzhen's original choice was.

What surprised Song Xiaoyi the most was that the reason why Yelu Chongyuan was able to get such a high courtesy was inseparable from Xiao Tzuli, it was she who told Emperor Liao to give Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's younger brother, the best treatment, and it was also her who "connived" at Yelu Chongyuan's ambition.

But why is that? In the face of people who threaten the imperial power and his son Jiangshan, why did Xiao Tzuli open the door to Yelu Chongyuan? Could it be that Xiao Tzuli and this little uncle have a leg...... Song Xiaoyi was puzzled.

The black hand has penetrated very deeply in Shangjing, and even the courtiers of the Liao Dynasty may not know the news, and the results of the summary are so unexpected that Song Xiaoyi can only pass the news back to Tokyo City in desperation, and the answer that he can't get may be seen by the officials.

Today's black hand only has the role of listening to intelligence, and at most can provide some intelligence analysis as a reference for the emperor's decision, and cannot act alone, Zhao Zhen only gave Song Xiaoyi the right to make a temporary decision, and he cannot use it without urgency.

Although Song Xiaoyi didn't know Xiao Tart, he knew that today's Shangjing City was treacherous, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed, and even affect the entire black hand.

Looking at the far south, Song Xiaoyi sighed slightly, today is the third day of the first lunar month, although there is not much New Year's atmosphere in the capital a few days ago, but it is lively on the surface, and I don't know what the grand occasion of the stable Tokyo City is, I am afraid that the royal street in front of the Xuande Building has been "trampled on", right?
