The tents on the rolling grassland resemble countless haystacks, flags flutter in the wind between the tents, and horse teams gallop across the tents. A large flock of sheep busily nibbled on the new green blades of grass with their heads down. The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of cattle and sheep make the uneven grassland very lively.

Inside a tent, Yang Gon was chatting with several civil officials in robes. At this time, a bald servant lifted the curtain and said, "Yang Mansion matter, our people have news." ”

The officials took their leave, came out of Yang Gon's tent, and when they looked around, they saw a man wearing a hat entering the tent from behind, and the hat on the man's head was pressed very low.

The man who entered the tent took off the hat on his head, and combed his hair in a bun, and he was a man. Yang Gon looked at him and didn't speak, turned and sat down cross-legged on the cushion.

The man stepped forward and leaned over and whispered in Yang Gon's ear for a while. Yang Gon's expression was cloudy, and his brows furrowed.

Yang Gon thought for a long time and asked in a low voice: "If you want to say that the King of Qi (Gong Sage) and the King of Yue are plotting to rebel, how can you spread rumors?" ”

The man said: "It's very simple, just tell one person, and there will be a big mess." ”

"Who?" Yang Gon asked, while subconsciously guessing the person. All the people he knew and heard of in Da Liao poured into his heart, and suddenly it seemed that he had walked into a big labyrinth with intricate relationships.

At this time, the man said: "Xiyin." ”

Yang Gon was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and gradually became suddenly aware after careful thought.

Xiyin is the grandson of Liao Taizu, the son of Yelu Lihu, and the son-in-law of Xiao Siwen, who is frivolous and ambitious by nature. No one in the Li Hu family has ever been an emperor, but Yelu Xiyin has always wanted to be an emperor. Prior to this, there had been two rebellions before and after, but they were unsuccessful; However, Yang Gon believes that once he is instigated, he will definitely rebel!

Why did Yang Gon make such a conclusion? Think about the people who Xiao Siwen's two daughters marry, and the people that the youngest daughter Xiao Yanyan is going to marry, they are all people who have the potential to be emperors! Yang Gon very much agreed with Xiao Siwen's views on these people.

After Yeluxian ascended the throne, he showed tolerance and kindness to the Da Liao clan, hoping to change the internal tension during the period of the first emperor Yelujing and ease the civil strife. If the death of King Qi is planted on Yeluxian's head, no matter whether others believe it or not, Xiyin will definitely believe it anyway, and he will think that he has found an excuse and name: Yeluxian is mean and unkind to the clan!

If Ki-Yin really used this excuse to rebel, there would be no need for anyone to spread the rumors, and if they made a big deal, the rumors would spread everywhere.

Yang Gon thought about it, and only felt that the person who used the idea of Xiyin was very good, not only knew the internal affairs of Liao, but also had bold associations.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is the person who came up with this idea?" ”

Han'er said in a low voice: "Emperor Xu personally confessed." ”

"Oh." Yang Gon nodded slightly. He groaned for a while, and said with some sadness, "Even if the foreign coin hits the door, there are always many people who only care about internal fighting, which seems to be the inferiority of human beings!" ”

…… Half a month later, in the tent camp of the King of Daliao, he suddenly received an urgent report from a fast horse. Not one message, but two.

"Yelu Xiyin led his troops to raise troops in Zuzhou, and joined forces with Yelu Bi, the king of Yue who stayed in Shangjing, and led his troops to occupy Shangjing!"

"Jinzhou has fallen!"

Blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and the two news are completely unexpected, and the king's tent suddenly seems to have exploded.

Someone was angrily scolding Yelu Xiyin, "What time is it, he still wants to stab him in the back!" Who will obey him? ”

Some people are scolding the Jinzhou defenders, "Jinzhou Jiancheng is one of the strongest cities in my Daliao, and it was captured in only half a month, why is it so incompetent......"

The messenger bowed and said: "The king of Qi (Yelu Gangsage) was beheaded by Shi Yanchao, and his head was hung on the flagpole, and the four cities were displayed to the public every day; Xu Jun sent people to shout day and night, the reinforcements had been defeated, and Jinzhou had become an isolated city. The morale of the Jinzhou defenders was low, and some Han soldiers attacked Dongcheng and opened the city gates. Xu soldiers and horses rushed into the city, and Jinzhou fell. ”

Another humanitarian: "The king of Song (Yelu Xiyin) claimed that the death of the king of Qi was the result of the Great Khan's ministers and ministers, and he was mean and unkind to the clan. King Yue (Yelu Bishi) heard that someone accused him of colluding with King Qi to rebel, and was frightened and conspired with King Song (Xiyin). ”

Everyone discussed, "Once Jinzhou is lost, as long as the majority of the Xu army crosses the Ling River, they can threaten Liaoyang." There is no danger to defend the capital of Dongdan! "Tiezhou (Yingkou) and Jinzhou Xu Jun will make peace, sea and land are integrated, and there is almost no resistance to the Yalu River to the east. Xu Jun colluded with the Goryeo Army and the Shengnu True Rebellion, and the east and west echoed; The Dongdan Kingdom was forced on several sides and fell into the situation of being surrounded by enemies. "The most disadvantageous thing is that we are now in turmoil in Beijing in the rear, and it is difficult to concentrate our forces to deal with foreign enemies for a while."

Although Yeluxian usually handed over all the major matters to the ministers to plan, he was eighteen years old and was the Emperor of Daliao, and at this time he was also sweating on his forehead, holding the scepter tightly in his palm, and looking at Yelu and Xiao Siwen with eager eyes.

Xiao Siwen said: "King Song (Xiyin) conspired against him, it may have been instigated by a traitor, and the minister asked him to send someone back to Beijing to contact the minister's second daughter and ask her to persuade King Song." ”

"We don't know what kind of person we like to hide?" A clan nobleman suddenly said, "Using this method of persuasion, he probably thinks that we are afraid of him!" ”

Yelu turned his head to look at Yang Gon silently and gave him a look.

Yang Gon walked out from behind, bowed with his hand to his chest, and said: "Great Khan, the Goryeo Kingdom has been peeping at the Dongdan Kingdom (the old land of the Bohai Kingdom) for a long time, and my country has made enemies with the Xu State again. If you think about it in the long run, Daliao can only stabilize one country, deal with one country, and defeat each of them, so as to avoid a war with two countries at the same time.

The Jurchen tribes of Dongdan are all over the north and south, and Goryeo instigated the Jurchen rebellion, and more Jurchen tribes will inevitably rebel against Liao, so it is best to deal with the Goryeo and Jurchen rebels first...... At this time, the Xu army was the strongest, and negotiated peace with the Xu State to resolve the situation in the south, which could not only greatly solve the crisis, but also divide the Xu State and the Goryeo State as one. ”

Ye Luxian frowned and asked, "Xu Guoren is willing to negotiate peace?" ”

Yang Gon said: "After Fan Zhongyi was imprisoned, the minister took his place and sorted out the files of the North Courtyard, when he found that the 'Great Liao Post House' in Tokyo had written a book, saying that the country had the intention of making peace. Please send an envoy to Jinzhou to test it first. ”

Xiao Siwen looked at Ye Luxian with a complicated expression, looking like he wanted to say something...... In terms of his attitude towards Xu Guo, he is obviously a proposition of fighting force. But the situation became too fast, and Xiao Siwen could not prepare for the situation in advance.

The situation is such that if we want to fight a major battle, we must not only come up with a strategy to resolve the danger, but also be responsible for the consequences of this strategy. Xiao Siwen's face was blue and red, and he didn't say a word.

At this time, even Ye Luxian seemed very silent, with shame and helplessness on his face. Perhaps, Ye Luxian thought of Xiao Yanyan again?

Yelu slanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was pondering, and bowed first: "Great Khan, the minister supports Yang Gon's proposition. ”

For a while, people seemed to have gradually figured it out, and many people echoed it...... This situation and this scene are like signs that Yelu can command the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty; As soon as he expressed his position, most people immediately supported him.

Xiao Siwen and the others saw it in their eyes, and they also understood that Yelu obliquely, the position of the privy envoy of the Northern Court, gradually had the influence that the privy envoy should have.

Yelu Xian looked at it, patted the top of the scepter twice, and said, "Then it depends on Yang Gon's plan." ”

…… The propositions of the king's ministers in the king's tent gradually became clear. Xiao Siwen didn't say a word afterwards, he felt as if he had fallen into a quicksand pit.

It's the kind of feeling that your legs just sink in, and you don't have time to react right away. But no matter how much you struggle, no matter how you think about it, you just can't pull it out, and the deeper you fall, the more and more you can't do it!

When did the leg sink in? That was the defeat of the siege of Hedong, when he abandoned the privy envoy of the Northern Court.

Back then, Ye Luxian was Xiao Siwen's main proponent to the throne! The Great Khan obeyed him, and the entire court was under his control...... And now, Xiao Siwen feels that his fate has gradually gotten out of control and is completely controlled by others.

He panicked, and although he didn't speak easily, his mind was racking his brains to find a way. Seeing that big things don't need to go through his attitude at all, he made decisions one by one...... He was even more anxious, so anxious that he was covered in sweat!

Where is the road?

Xiao Siwen desperately cleared his head from the mess...... Now you have to protect yourself, or you don't want to be at the mercy of a black cauldron, you must first hug Yelu's thighs! Because Xiao Siwen intuitively felt that the weight of Yelu's words in the court was getting heavier and heavier.

Hugging Yelu's slanted thighs has an advantage, Xiao Siwen and he are originally allies! But it's not enough to rely on affection, you must see your own value and make Yelu pay attention to her help to him.

Xiao Siwen didn't listen to a word of the movement on the king's tent, he thought nervously.

After a long time, Xiao Siwen raised his head, calmed down and said, "Great Khan, the minister has a word." ”

Ye Luxian immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Siwen, he had listened to Xiao Siwen's advice for a long time, and the Great Khan still attached great importance to his words. Ye Luxian said: "Gong Xiao, please speak." ”

Xiao Siwen said: "The most important thing in Da Liao is to win people's hearts. Yeluxi conspired against him and framed the Great Khan in connection with the death of King Qi (Gong Sage), and the court could not acquiesce, but must do something. ”

Ye Luxian nodded.

Xiao Siwen said again: "Please posthumously crown King Qi as the imperial uncle, and King Qi's widow as the imperial concubine." It can not only show the benevolence of the king's tent to the clan, but also appease the old department of the king of Qi. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Siwen looked at Ye Luxian expectantly. The widow of the King of Qi is his eldest daughter Xiao Huran, if Xiao Huren gets the support of the imperial court, and then controls the old department and fief of the King of Qi, Xiao Siwen will be of greater value to Yelu Xian to win over and maintain.

Yeluxian looked back left and right, no one objected, and even Yeluxian was acquiescing. Ye Luxian spoke: "Xiao Gong is reasonable, just pass on the decree." ”

Xiao Siwen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Once the exit is found, more clever ideas will emerge...... He also thought that his wife, Princess Yanguo, was the daughter of Taizong, and as long as he made a little arrangement, he could play a role in connecting and easing the ties between the court of the dynasty and the forces of Taizong!
