Chapter 420: A Soldier Bears, a Nest of Bears
Zhao Zhen is not born to the queen, Liu E is his adoptive mother, Yelu Zongzhen is not born to the queen, Queen Xiao is his adoptive mother, the difference is that Zhao Zhen does not know his life experience, let alone his biological mother is lonely and guarding in the imperial mausoleum, while Yelu Zongzhen's mother Xiao Yunjin is named a concubine, and her status is only below the queen.
What's even more coincidental is that Zhao Zhen and Yelu Zongzhen were not very old when they ascended the throne, one twelve, one fourteen, and finally the imperial power also fell into the hands of their mother, but one fell into the hands of their adoptive mother Liu E, and the other was seized by his biological mother Xiao Yunjin, who killed his adoptive mother, that is, the genuine queen, and also punished all the queen's family, and the number of nobles killed alone reached more than 40 people.
If Liu E knows what Xiao Yunjin of Liao Guo did, I am afraid that she will also be wary of Zhao Zhen's biological mother, that is, Li Zhang's aunt, and maybe she will do something, if Li Zhang is not mistaken, the historical Concubine Li Chen will die next year, and shortly after her death, Liu E also died the next year.
Thinking of the above, Li Zhang was even more hesitant, not knowing whether to continue talking?
"What's the matter, why didn't you stop talking about it in the middle of the conversation?" At this time, Liu E asked a little impatiently.
The alternation of imperial power in Liao is also of great importance to the Great Song Dynasty, especially with the death of Yelu Longxu, the two queens who signed the Yuanyuan Alliance have died, and the Great Song Dynasty does not have to worry, but if the new emperor of the Liao State is unwilling to fulfill the covenant again, then the border between Song and Liao may be in flames again.
Facing Liu E's questioning, Li Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally sighed secretly and said: "Yelu Zong's real biological mother Xiao Yunjin and his adoptive mother Empress Xiao have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, almost to the point of incompatibility, when Yelu Longxu was alive before, the two of them didn't dare to make too much trouble, but now that Yelu Longxu has died, I think the two of them must have a violent conflict!" ”
As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, the expressions of Lu Yijian, Zhang Qi and others in the court suddenly became subtle, these people are all old foxes in the court, they know Zhao Zhen's life experience better than anyone else, and they also know the true relationship between Li Zhang, Liu E and Zhao Zhen, so when they hear these inside stories of the Liao royal family, they can't help but think of the situation on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, especially when these words are still said from Li Zhang, a very sensitive person, which is even more interesting.
Liu E behind the screen probably didn't expect the situation of the Liao royal family to be so similar to his side, so there was no sound behind the screen for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't see her expression, but Li Zhang guessed that Liu E's expression at this time must have been very exciting.
Although Li Zhang was worried that Liu E would be wary of his aunt because of the internal fighting of the Liao Imperial Family, he also knew that Xiao Yunjin was a very anxious woman, if he remembered correctly, Xiao Yunjin would do something to Queen Xiao this year, so even if he wanted to hide it, Liu E would know sooner or later, so it was better for him to say it directly, so that Liu E could be mentally prepared.
However, after all, Liu E is a person who has seen big storms and waves, so she quickly reacted, and immediately cleared her throat and said: "If it is really like what you said, the chaos in the Liao Imperial Court is not a good thing for us." ”
"What the Queen Mother said is very true, I think Xiao Yunjin is extremely strong, but that Queen Xiao is a little weak, even if the power behind her is strong, but in the end, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight Xiao Yunjin, so when I was in Liao, I also specially gave Xiao Yunjin some gifts, hoping to have a good relationship with her." Li Zhang spoke again at the moment.
"Li Duwei, since you have seen Yelu Zongzhen, what do you think of this person?" At this time, Lu Yijian suddenly spoke, in fact, he was not interested in the infighting between Xiao Yunjin and Empress Xiao, because in his opinion, even if a woman is in power, it is only for a while, and she will definitely return to the emperor in the future, so he is also more concerned about the real situation of Yelu Zong, of course, he does not dare to say these words in front of Liu E.
Thinking of Yelu Zongzhen, Li Zhang's face also sank, and then he slowly spoke: "Yelu Zongzhen is young and arrogant, and he despises our Great Song Dynasty, I am worried that after he takes power in the future, it will be unfavorable to our Great Song Dynasty, so I think the imperial court should also prepare early to strengthen the garrison in Hebei!" ”
Li Zhang's worries are not groundless, in fact, Yeluzong is really one of the most warlike emperors of Liao, he disregarded the domestic contradictions during his reign, and repeatedly fought against foreign countries, not only to put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, but also to conquer the Western Xia many times, but unfortunately it was more defeated and less victorious, so when Yeluzong really reigned, the national strength of Liao was also greatly reduced.
As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Lu Yijian and the others also frowned, don't look at Li Zhang's youth, but they have never doubted Li Zhang's ability, after all, whether it is a firearms supervisor or a martial arts, Li Zhang has shown calmness and ability beyond his age, so they also believe in Li Zhang's vision, since he said that Yelu Zong may be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, it should not be wrong.
"But now Yelu Zongzhen is still young, I think Xiao Yunjin is likely to be in power in the future, this woman is ambitious, but she doesn't know how to restrain, if she is in power, the Liao State will definitely be in chaos, so I think if the imperial court wants to recover Yanyun, it can be prepared early!" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally said what was in his heart.
However, as soon as Li Zhang's words came out, the expressions of Lu Yijian and the others became subtle again, and even a few looked at Li Zhang's eyes a little strangely, as if what Li Zhang said was an unrealistic fantasy, and even Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the dynasty, shook his head secretly.
Seeing this, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly, the civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty had long given up the idea of recovering Yanyun by force, so even if there was such a good opportunity in front of them, they didn't dare to stretch out their hands, which made Li Zhang not even bother to get angry.
"Don't mention the words of recovering Yanyun, if the Liao State can be in civil strife for a few years, it will already be an excellent opportunity for our Great Song Dynasty, especially in the past two years, the party in the northwest has risen again, which is really worrying, but now we can take advantage of the opportunity of Liao's internal turmoil and instability to solve the matter in the northwest first." At this time, Liu E, who only listened to the screen, also spoke.
Hearing Liu E's words, Li Zhang also sighed again, as the so-called soldiers are bears, and they will be bears in a nest, from Zhao Guangyi to Liu E, the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty have long given up the hope of recovering Yanyun by force, and naturally they can't blame the courtiers below for not using their strength.
Then Liu E asked about the situation in Liaoguo, Li Zhang also answered one by one, and finally it was getting late, and the discussion was over, Li Zhang was in a hurry to go home, but just when he was out of the palace, he suddenly heard someone behind him stop him and said: "Li Duwei stay!" ”
