Chapter 586: Hot Spring Mountain (Part II)

The emperor of Liao lives in the bowl all the year round, and the bowl is actually a huge palace, every year according to the season migration, generally each season will have a specific migration location, of course, the emperor's personality is different, some emperors do not like to move, the bowl is more fixed, some emperors follow the ancestral teachings, every three months will move to the next location, and the place of the bowl migration will generally surround Zhongjing, will not deviate too far.

Generally speaking, the migration location of the bowl is the spring water and autumn mountain, that is, in the spring will go to the water's edge to fish, and in the autumn to hunt in the mountains, as for the summer and winter, because of the bad weather, they will generally go to the fixed palace to escape the heat or cold, called sitting in summer or sitting in winter, these are also the nomadic customs retained by the Khitan royal family, to avoid their descendants from giving up the tradition, so as to become only known about pleasure.

Xiao Yunjin was born in a bad place, after all, she won the power by killing Xiao Guanyin, but the more this is the case, the more she has to behave more orthodox than others, so since she took power, the bowl has also moved according to the four seasons, it is winter now, and the weather is also unusually cold, according to the previous habit, Xiao Yunjin will go to the hot spring mountain hundreds of miles west of Zhongjing to escape the cold.

Hot Spring Mountain is just like its name, there are a lot of hot springs in the mountains, making the mountain road very warm, so the emperor of Liao built a palace in the mountain, and will take refuge in the cold in winter, of course, it is not every year, in fact, this palace was not built for a long time, but Xiao Yunjin likes it very much, mainly because she likes to soak in hot springs in winter, it is said that hot springs can make women's skin smoother, so Xiao Yunjin will come here almost every winter.

This year is no exception, as the weather gets colder, the bowl that was originally stationed in the northwest of Zhongjing fifty miles away from the tiger forest also began to pull up, like a palace city on wheels slowly rushed to the hot spring mountain in the south, the two sides were originally two or three hundred miles away, if you ride a horse, you may be able to reach it in half a day, but the bowl speed is slow, plus there are a large number of people accompanying you, so this way walked for three days to reach the hot spring mountain.

The terrain of the hot spring mountain is special, several mountains are like Wolong winding, and there is a main peak in the mountains, which is also the highest peak of this mountain, there are many hot springs on the mountain, maybe a few stones are turned over and there are hot springs coming out, and in winter the mountain is also cloudy and mist, and the temperature on the mountain is very high, so in the winter the plants are also extremely luxuriant, and it looks like a fairyland.

However, the palace is not built on the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, because the water on the mountain is too large, it is okay to soak in the hot springs on it, but if you live for a long time, it will make people unbearable, so the palace is built at the foot of the mountain, usually the emperor and his concubines live here, and there is also a special bath in the palace, which is the hot spring water that is drawn down from the mountain.

Yelu Zongzhen was excited and nervous at this time, and his eyes looked at the car tent in front of him from time to time, because in the front car tent was his mother Xiao Yunjin, but he was looking at his mother's car tent now without any family affection, but hatred mixed with a little nervousness, because he had conspired with Yelu Xisun and others to launch a coup d'état here in Hot Spring Mountain, and directly imprison Xiao Yunjin, and then the power would fall into his hands.

For these coups, Yelu Zongzhen also made sufficient preparations, he conspired with Yelu Xisun and others for a long time, and was originally going to wait until next summer to do it, but he was worried about changes over time, and during this time, Xiao Yunjin became more and more indifferent to him, and even looked at him with disgust in his eyes, which made Yelu Zongzhen also feel in crisis, so he decided to do it as soon as possible, and he also knew that Xiao Yunjin would come to Hot Spring Mountain every winter to sit in winter, so he chose here.

However, if you want the coup to succeed, you must separate Xiao Yunjin and Xiao Xiaoxian's henchmen, so Yelu Xisun and others also helped him with advice, and finally let Yelu Zongzhen find an opportunity, and this opportunity was sent by Li Yuanhao, who was thousands of miles away.

Li Yuanhao invaded the territory of Liao before, although this made the Liao State very angry, but at that time, Xiao Yunjin and Yeluzong really put their minds on each other, so they didn't have time to pay attention to Li Yuanhao at all, but they just mobilized some garrisons around to suppress it, but they didn't expect the Liao army to be defeated again, and when the news came back, the Liao court was also greatly shaken.

Taking advantage of this defeat, Yelu Zongzhen secretly instructed some ministers who were loyal to him to begin to attack Xiao Xiaoxian's unfavorable government, resulting in Li Yuanhao sitting on a large scale, and the situation in the southwest grassland was also turbulent, so they also asked for the removal of Xiao Xiaoxian, and even some generals in the army were very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunjin, of course, they did not dare to directly target Xiao Yunjin, so they also pointed the finger at Xiao Xiaoxian.

In this case, Xiao Xiaoxian became a sinner in Liao for a while, and even some time ago someone set fire to Xiao Xiaoxian's mansion in Zhongjing, although the fire was quickly extinguished, but the entire Xiao Mansion was also burned half, and the people who set the fire were very clean, and they couldn't find any clues at all, which made Xiao Xiaoxian also anxious, and Zhongjing was also in turmoil.

In this case, Xiao Xiaoxian had to stay in Zhongjing to stabilize the situation, and some of Xiao Yunjin's henchmen also stayed in Tokyo, after all, now that it is turbulent, Xiao Xiaoxian alone cannot stabilize the situation at all, so that most of Xiao Yunjin's henchmen around him will be missing.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Zongzhen couldn't help but sigh out, in order to achieve this goal, he used all the power he could use, and finally attracted Xiao Xiaoxian and others to Zhongjing, and now Xiao Yunjin has no one available except for Zhao Anren and a few other henchmen, as well as a few nephews of his own who serve as generals in the palace.

But even so, Yelu Zongzhen still didn't dare to be too careless, especially Xiao Yunjin's nephews, who almost controlled the power of all the palace guards, and he, the emperor, usually couldn't command half of the palace guards at all, from this point of view, he didn't seem to have any certainty of the success of the coup d'état.

But Yelu Zongzhen was prepared, especially when he knew that although Xiao Yunjin's nephews held great power, most of them were actually straw bales, and everyone had their own shortcomings, either good money or lust, as long as they did what they liked, even if they couldn't win them to surrender, they could temporarily stabilize them, and then he would lead his henchmen to directly enter Xiao Yunjin's dormitory, as long as he controlled her, he could force her to hand over the power, and when the palace guards were in his own hands, he could immediately wave his troops into Zhongjing.

Thinking of his whole plan, the corners of Yelu Zongzhen's mouth couldn't help but show a little smile, the palace of Hot Spring Mountain arrived, and a flat road was built from outside the mountain to the palace, so that the car tent could pass smoothly, when the palace was built, the most difficult thing was not the palace at the foot of the mountain, but the road leading to the palace, and the people alone requisitioned nearly 100,000 yuan, and it took two full years to complete.

The car tent was parked in the square in front of the palace, Xiao Yunjin and Yelu Zongzhen got out of the car almost at the same time, but the mother and son did not communicate, but went to their own dormitory everywhere, in fact, the relationship between their mother and son had long been broken, especially after Yelu Zongzhen killed Xiao Yunjin's inner servant arranged by his side last time, the mother and son were strangers, and Yelu Zongzhen rarely went to Xiao Yunjin.

As soon as Yelu Zongzhen arrived at the palace, he immediately summoned the accompanying Yelu Xisun to the palace, and when he saw him, he immediately asked, "How are Zhirang's people preparing, and where are they now?" ”

Yelu Zhirang is Yan Niang's younger brother, he is also one of Yelu Zongzhen's henchmen, this time he also participated in the coup, and he is also a key figure in it, because Yelu Zong really can't use palace guards, although he has personal guards around him, but if he is transferred, he may also be detected by Xiao Yunjin in advance, so he asked Yelu Zhirang to recruit a group of cronies outside, and now there are more than 200 people, as long as they create opportunities, they can completely control Xiao Yunjin.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Zhirang has already led people to ambush in the nearby mountains and forests, as long as we create an opportunity, they can kill them immediately!" Yelu Xisun immediately replied, as a confidant by Yelu Zongzhen's side, this coup d'état was almost planned by him, although others were involved, but if it succeeded, he would definitely be the first to take the lead.

"That's good, what about Renxian, is there any news from Zhongjing?" Yelu Zongzhen asked again at this time. The Renxian in his mouth is the Yelu Renxian that Li Zhang once saw, that is, a generation of famous ministers of the Liao State in the future, but now he is only one of Yelu Zongzhen's henchmen, and this time he is responsible for sitting in Zhongjing and monitoring the whereabouts of Xiao Xiaoxian and others.

"No, Renxian said that everything is normal in Zhongjing, and Xiao Xiaoxian is still suppressing the ministers who oppose him, but ......" Yelu Xisun suddenly showed a hesitant expression when he said this, as if there was something embarrassing.

"But what?" Yelu Zongzhen immediately asked.

Yelu Xisun seemed to hesitate again at this time, and then he spoke: "However, Renxian still feels that the coup d'état is too hasty now, and he is not fully prepared in many aspects, so he is still worried that there will be mistakes. ”

"Hmph, Renxian is good at everything, but his personality is too cautious, but it's really not a big husband's doing!" Yelu Zongzhen snorted coldly at this time, he still valued Yelu Renxian very much before, but in this matter, he was a little dissatisfied with Yelu Renxian, because when he decided to launch a coup d'état in advance, Yelu Renxian tried hard to persuade him, and he also reprimanded the other party for this, which made him shut up, but he didn't expect him to be so timid in the end.

Seeing Yelu Zong's really angry appearance, Yelu Xisun was also secretly happy, although they were all confidants, but they were also far and near, and he had always been worried that Yelu Renxian's talent was far superior to him, this time through the coup d'état, he finally suppressed the other party.
