Compared with the city of Tokyo, the Shangjing City of the Liao Dynasty has a unique charm, and the wildness and aesthetics of the grassland people are vividly expressed here, even if people who have not been to the Liao Dynasty see the capital of the Liao Dynasty for the first time, they will know that this is the capital of the Liao Dynasty.

The Liao Dynasty had He Zhengdan envoy sent to the Great Song Dynasty, wishing the Great Song Emperor good luck and submitting credentials, etc., then the Great Song Dynasty would naturally send He Zhengdan envoy to the Liao Dynasty, after all, the Song and Liao are still commensurate with the country of brothers, Zhao Zhen is unwilling to tear his face, and the Liao Dynasty hopes to deal with internal troubles through this stable period of peace.

He Zhengdan of the Great Song Dynasty made Song Xiaoyi know him, and he can be regarded as an old acquaintance, Zhou Zhan, a bachelor of Hanlin, who once served as the Hanlin edict and drafted the emperor's proclamation, and now he is very suitable as He Zhengdan's envoy.

He was on the road a year ago, and he just arrived on the day of Zhengdan, there was no way, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is now getting bigger and bigger, and the Liao people have no good impression of the Great Song mission, and there is a lot of delay on the road, otherwise it should have arrived a day or two in advance.

The relationship between the Liao Dynasty was complicated, so that Zhou Zhan saw something completely different from Song Xiaoyi, in Song Xiaoyi's shop, Zhou Zhan and Song Xiaoyi sat down and politely said a few words to each other, and talked about the changes in Tokyo City and so on.

Zhou Zhan took a sip of tea and turned to the topic: "This Liao Dynasty is really chaotic, and the entire upper Khitan class has become a serial set!" The descendants and the royal family intermarried with each other, and it was difficult to distinguish each other. The Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin and the Empress Dowager Xiao Tart are intricate, the relationship between aunt and nephew plus mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you have me, I have you, the Empress Dowager's brothers and nephews are also the uncles or brothers of the Empress Dowager Zongtian, it is difficult to figure out how close and far this is and what is important, and even the ministers of the Liao Dynasty do not know which side to stand on. I was an eye-opener for the pilgrimage meeting on the day of the New Year's Day! ”

Song Xiaoyi shook his head and smiled: "This is a common thing in the Liao Dynasty, it is not the same as my Great Song Dynasty, you make Liao for the first time, and you will see more strange things in the future." ”

"Isn't it? The ministers of the Liao Dynasty are enough for me to take care of for a long time, not to mention the Southern and Northern Offices, and the many official positions are also overlapping with each other, and now there is no Yanyun, and I don't know why the Liao Dynasty still retains these northern and southern establishments! ”

Zhou Zhan's words were to the point, and Song Xiaoyi said: "The current Liao Dynasty is not as peaceful as in the past, the waves in the capital are turbulent, the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan is eyeing the throne, and the Liao Emperor and the Queen Mother have no time to deal with these at all." ”

"Yes! I went to the Liao Dynasty this time, and I saw chaos ......" Zhou Zhan looked around and said, "Guess who I saw in the palace of the Liao Dynasty?" ”

"Who else surprised Brother Zhou so much?" Song Xiaoyi smiled indifferently.

"The Empress Dowager Xiao Yunjin!"

With Zhou Zhan's words, Song Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed in surprise: "How could she be in the palace, wasn't Xiao Yunjin under house arrest by Emperor Xingzong in Gyeongju to guard the tomb of Emperor Shengzong?" Could it be that he was taken back to the palace by Emperor Liao to support him? ”

Zhou Zhan waved his hand and said: "No, no, it is also necessary to say that the Queen Mother understands the righteousness, although she Xiao Tart is just a woman, but her mind is quite good, it was she who persuaded Emperor Xingzong to change his mind and take the demon queen back to the palace, and outsiders still don't know!" ”

Song Xiaoyi's pupils shrank suddenly, it seems that he still underestimated this queen mother, this courage alone is better than many men, but one thing caught his attention, the demon queen Xiao Yunjin is now the queen mother, and if she wants to obtain the corresponding rights and status, she must use one person, that is her own son, the younger brother of Emperor Xingzong, the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan!

Song Xiaoyi stood up suddenly, and the tea on the table was spilled on the ground, but Zhou Zhan on the side was inexplicably startled: "Song Jiancheng, what's wrong?" Could it be that I said it wrong? ”

"Oh! I disturbed Brother Zhou, but Brother Zhou's words reminded me and made me sort out a lot of things, which was really a great favor for me! ”

Zhou Zhan was relieved, after all, Song Xiaoyi was the official of the black hand, and if he wanted to say that the real power was far away from him, He Zhengdan, who had been dealing with intelligence all the year round, he was shocked and really made Zhou Zhan scared, and he thought that he had said something wrong, but people could go straight to the sky!

The news I got from Zhou Zhan was too shocking, Xiao Yunjin was not dead, nor was he in other places, but in the heart of the Liao Dynasty, in the capital, what Song Xiaoyi didn't understand the most was why Xiao Tart Li wanted to take back this aunt she was very disgusted with, and she lived in the palace.

Song Xiaoyi pulled the rope beside him, and the guy in the store stepped forward to ask and got the order to serve a basin of cold water, in Zhou Zhan's surprised gaze, Song Xiaoyi's head pierced in, Zhou Zhan's back molars were sour, this cold winter, although the room was warm, but he couldn't practice himself like this!

"Song Jiancheng, this is so?"

The guy said helplessly: "The prisoner is like this, he said that he can sober his mind, and it is useless for me to persuade him a few times, he must be typhoid fever...... Alas! ”

Song Xiaoyi raised his head from the water, the water splashed everywhere, dripping on the exquisite stall, gasping for breath, but his expression was extremely relaxed, he had just figured out Xu Du's affairs...... What is a spirit in a basin of water compared to all this?

Zhou Zhan asked cautiously on the side: "Song Jiancheng, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just the same thing, I hope Brother Zhou will take it back and pass it on to the official family in person, you also know that it is not easy for me to send the news back, and you are the messenger, no one will dare to detain you."

Zhou Zhan nodded and said, "This is natural, don't disgrace your life for your brother!" I just hope that Song Jiancheng will handle the letter properly......"

Song Xiaoyi waved his hand and said: "There will be no letters, only news, and Brother Zhou must remember it word for word, and personally play it to the official family when he returns to Tokyo City, as you should have the right to stay and perform things, and this news is extremely important, please Brother Zhou!" ”

After saying that, Song Xiaoyi bowed deeply, and Zhou Zhan quickly got up and said: "As a courtier, this should be shared, why should Song Eunuch be like this?" Tell me, and I'll hear you! ”

The guys in the shop retreated, and when they left, they also closed the door with them, blocking the winter scenery and cold wind in the courtyard, Song Xiaoyi slowly spoke: "I didn't know why the Liao Emperor and the Queen Mother didn't get rid of Yelu Chongyuan before, until Brother Zhou came today, I guess I slowly sorted out my thoughts." ”

Song Xiaoyi took a deep breath and said: "If my guess is correct, all this should be done by the Empress Dowager Xiao Tart, she wants to use Yelu Chongyuan to completely clean up the Liao Dynasty!" Anyone who has anything to do with Yelu Chongyuan, whether it is someone who supports him or someone who secretly helps, Xiao Tzuli must get rid of it, but taking over the Empress Dowager gives Yelu Chongyuan the capital to rebel! It's all under Xiao Tzuli's control, and everything is being monitored! ”

With Song Xiaoyi's words, Zhou Zhan seemed to see the truth of the matter, the queen mother who was high above controlled this huge chess game with one hand, he couldn't help but be shocked, his legs trembled unconsciously, this was the first time he Zhou Zhan came into contact with the secrets within the palace walls, although it was from the Liao Dynasty, but it still made him shocked...... I didn't expect that the seemingly gentle Queen Mother would have such a means!
