653, Self-inflicted iniquity cannot live (8)
In the next few days, the main peace faction led by Xiao Fengxian and the main battle faction led by Yelu Ao Luhu and Yelu Chun quarreled with Jin Guoyi in the court.
In contrast, there are more people in the main battle faction, and the voice is louder, and it obviously has the upper hand, if it weren't for the support of the emperor behind the main battle faction, I am afraid that it would have been drowned out by the voice of the main battle faction.
The emperor's face became more and more ugly, and there was a feeling that his authority was being challenged, and Ye Luchun and the others also found out about this, but they could only grit their teeth and persist in the struggle, hoping to change the emperor's mind, because this time it was a matter of the safety of the country of Daliao, and there must not be the slightest mistake!
Just when the main battle faction gradually determined its advantage, and the emperor couldn't help but waver a little, no one thought that a conspiracy was coming towards King Jin and Yelu Chun......!
Shortly after the emperor's angry retreat one day, Xiao Fengxian suddenly hurried to see him.
The emperor couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xiao Fengxian's face, only to see Xiao Fengxian's face full of horror and panic, and hurriedly asked him what happened? Why are you so flustered?
Xiao Feng said in one mouthful, "Saint, the big thing is not good, King Jin is going to rebel!" ”
The emperor was shocked and hurriedly asked what was going on?
Xiao Fengxian said, "Haven't you found out yet, Holy Lord?" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that you are in favor of peace talks, but why do they dare to oppose you? Because the King of Jin is supporting them! You have already seen how many supporters of King Jin are! He already has the strength to fight you! Look, here is the list of ministers who have been staunchly supporting King Jin these days! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Fengxian presented the emperor with a piece of paper,
The emperor took the paper and looked at it, only to see that the names of the ministers of the court were written on it, and these people were indeed very supportive of King Jin these days.
The emperor's face became gloomy when he looked at it, and he frowned silently,
Xiao Feng first decided to burn another fire, and then said, "Holy Lord, if it is not the minister who framed the King of Jin, according to the minister's observation, the King of Jin is likely to have already begun to act!" These days, King Jin and Yelu Tart Geri often go to Yelu Yujian's house, Yelu Tart Geri and Yelu Yujian are both the uncles of King Jin, one controls Zhongjing, the other holds military power, if they unite to rebel, do you still have a way to live?! ”
The emperor still couldn't believe it and waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, I know that Yelu Yujian's wife is sick, and it is normal for Ao Lu and Yelu Tart Geli to visit on behalf of Concubine Wen and her sister." ”
Xiao Fengxian said, "Holy Lord, don't be deceived by illusions! Yelu Yujian's wife is not sick sooner or later, but she is going to be sick at such a juncture, is there no doubt about this? And Yelu Tart's wife, it is said that she stays in Yelu Yujian's mansion all day, is there so many servants who need her to do anything? They are clearly speaking for King Jin and others! By the way, there is also Ye Luchun, this time he came to Beijing, King Jin repeatedly took the initiative to approach him, took the initiative to support him against your decision, obviously to win him over, why? Ye Luchun has nearly half of Da Liao's troops in his hands! In the words of the Han people, this is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows! ”
The emperor's expression was flustered, "This ...... Yeluchun is still very loyal to me, the last time Yeluzhang wanted to support him as emperor, he refused, how can he betray me now? ”
Xiao Fengxian sighed, "Holy Lord, at this time and that time, although Ye Luchun does not dare to be the emperor, it does not mean that he does not dare to support others to be the emperor!" Now that you insist on peace, and he insists on going to war, if he can't convince you, is it impossible for him to support a new emperor in favor of war in order to achieve his goal......? The minister risked his life to protect you, I'm afraid the news has leaked, if you don't take action, I'm afraid it's too late! ”
The emperor's heart jumped suddenly, his face instantly gloomy, and finally slapped the table and said angrily, "Come, pass my order, arrest the King of Jin, Concubine Wen, Yelu Tart Geri, Yelu Yujian!" ”
Xiao Fengxian was overjoyed in his heart, but when he heard that there was no Yeluchun's name, he couldn't help but wonder, "Then Yeluchun ......?" ”
The emperor waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "King Yan has a large army in his hands, don't act rashly, I still trust him very much!" ”
Xiao Fengxian felt pity for a while, but after thinking about it quickly, he said, "There is also Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yu is the brother-in-law of King Jin, who in the court does not know that Xiao Yu is a desperate supporter of King Jin? He definitely has a problem too! ”
The emperor sighed, just waved his hand and said, "You go and do it...... don't forget to ask for evidence, I want to see the evidence!" ”
Xiao Fengxian perked up his spirits and knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, the minister will never let go of a bad person, but he will never wronged a good person!" ”

That night, Yeluchun was suddenly awakened by a rapid call, he opened his eyes and saw that the oil lamp in the room had been lit at some point, and his personal attendant was looking at him with a nervous face.
"What's the matter?" Yeluchun had just woken up, and his consciousness had not yet fully awakened, and he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice,
Seeing that Ye Luchun had finally woken up, the attendant couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Lord Wang, Xiao Degong, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, came to see you, and he said that the big thing was not good...... King Jin has been arrested! ”
This sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Ye Luchun sat up straight from the bed, with a deeply disbelief in his extremely shocked expression, and then he suddenly rolled over from the bed and hurried out, even forgetting to put on ......his shoes.
Early the next morning, the entire Zhongjing City exploded, and last night, the privy envoy Xiao Fengxian was ordered to arrest the King of Jin, Concubine Wen, Yelu Tart Geli's family and the concubine Xiao Yu, on the charge of rebellion! Yelu Yujian's whole family was also among the arrests, but that night Yelu Yujian happened to spend the night in the military camp, so he only captured his wife, Yelu Yujian heard the news, and led more than 1,000 horsemen to escape from Zhongjing City overnight, it is said that someone saw them fleeing in the direction of Jindi, the emperor has ordered Xi Wangfu Xiao Yaomai, Dachang Gong Yelu Di Ligu, Guizhou Observation Envoy Xiao Monk Nu, and Xiao Gan, the Taishi of the Fourth Army, to lead the army to arrest!
It is reported that Yeluchun, the king of Yan, entered the palace overnight to ask to see the emperor, but not only was he not allowed, but he was not even allowed to enter the gate of the palace.
Although Xiao Fengxian claimed to be just investigating, everyone knew that those people had been finished from the moment they were arrested, Xiao Fengxian would not let them go, only by eliminating them could he clear the biggest obstacle for his sister, the Qin King Yeluding, who was born to Concubine Yuan!
Sure enough, only three days later, news about this matter came out in the palace, and the king of Jin was deposed as a concubine and imprisoned forever. Concubine Wen was given to die, and Yelu Tart Geri's entire family and the concubine Xiao Yu, as well as Yelu Yu's entire family, were all beheaded!
Two days later, Xiao Yaomai and others came back and brought back a bad news, they did not catch up with Yelu Yujian, it is said that someone saw Yelu Yujian lead his troops to flee into the Jin country and was picked up by the Jin army.
Next, ordered by the emperor, Xiao Fengxian carried out a major purge of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and almost all the civil and military ministers who were closer to the King of Jin in the past were greatly implicated.
Ye Luchun asked the emperor to resign from all positions and military affairs, and the emperor insisted on not allowing it, but he couldn't bear Ye Luchun's resolute attitude, and the emperor had to order and agree to remove part of Ye Luchun's military power, and from then on he was only responsible for the military defense of Beijing.
A few days later, the emperor proposed to make peace with Jin again in the court, and this time the proposal was approved by the Manchu civil and military without any suspense.
It is said that Ye Luchun, the only remaining leader of the main battle faction and the current commander of the main battle faction, never said a word about it from beginning to end, he just stood alone at the head of the ministers, like a wood carving.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
On the day when the emperor officially ordered to send people to Jin to negotiate peace, Ye Luchun left Zhongjing, when he rode away from Zhongjing City and came to a high ground not far from Zhongjing, Ye Luchun finally couldn't help but look back at Zhongjing.
Recalling the high spirits and pride when he came, and recalling the faces of King Jin, Yelu Tart Geri, Yelu Yujian, Xiao Yu and others, Yelu Chun couldn't help but ...... tears on the spot, this is the first time he has shed tears in recent decades, this time, Da Liao not only lost a few loyal ministers, nor just lost a virtuous king who will become the lord of the Ming, but also lost all hope ......!
Seeing that Yeluchun was so sad, they hurriedly stepped forward to comfort,
Ye Luchun waved his hand to make them all retreat, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and when he looked at Zhongjing City again, an inexplicable decision had risen in his dissatisfied, bloodshot eyes!
"Jerodunu...... Forgive me, I finally understand your painstaking efforts! Although I was wrong once, I will never make the same mistake again in the future......! ”
