Chapter 186: Undercurrent in the Imperial Hall

While he was thinking about this, the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, Xiao Funa, immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty! What Wang Yushi said is actually loyal to the monarch and the ears of the country. Since the beginning of Mobei, Mongolia has annexed hundreds of large and small tribes. In the past, Xia Guo, a friendly country, suffered from it repeatedly. Not only were the walled cities plundered, but countless people were plundered. Its momentum is no different from that of Emperor Tianzuo, when the Jurchen was to Da Liao. ”。

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials suddenly changed color. The atmosphere in the hall was also instantly cold. Because of the Jurchen war to destroy Liao, but since the westward migration of the Great Liao, it will never be forgotten.

Even if more than half a century has passed, the Daliao nobles who moved westward have all passed away. But most of the courtiers who are now standing in the court are descendants of the Da Liao nobles who moved west.

Although I have not personally experienced the dangerous years of the flames and the destruction of the country. But when they were children, their fathers often talked about it in front of them.

Therefore, if you think about it carefully, you can clearly feel that the danger of the year was very dangerous.

Although at the moment, they are content to enjoy. The idea of recovering the country and returning to the territory of the ancestors has long since ceased to exist. So that when someone mentions it in the court, it is often regarded as a heresy and a malicious motive.

But the word Jurchen is still enough to make them feel unspeakable fear.

In the end, he was driven out by the Jurchens! Although it is in the Western Regions, it continues the national ancestry. But the glory of the homeland is difficult to restore.

Now comparing Mongolia to the Jurchen is no different from a disaster that destroys the country. This made the court officials present, no matter what, unable but to be concerned.

Yelu Zhilugu, who was sitting at the top, also looked a little bad. Because Xiao Fu's words really make sense. Like the Mobei where the Mongols are located, it used to be under the jurisdiction of Shangjing Province of the Great Liao.

When Dezong moved westward, he also recruited the headquarters of Zhenzhou (Kedun) on the northwest road of Shangjing Road, and gathered his troops to rebuild Daliao.

Although later, due to the rebellion of the barbarian tribe, the control of the Great Liao over Zhenzhou weakened. The Jurchens also took advantage of the situation and incorporated Zhenzhou into the territory of the Jin State.

But no matter how you say it, this should be the land of Great Liao. It is now occupied by the Mongols and calls itself a country. No matter how you say it, it is like a challenge to the prestige of the Great Liao.

Of course, the territory lost by Da Liao is more. Even the ancestral homeland was occupied by the Jurchens. So the desert north of this bitter cold land is nothing.

Anyway, this territory is not lost in their own hands! Even if the ancestors blame, they can't blame themselves. Therefore, after Yelu Zhilugu thought about it, he didn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart. The unpleasant look on his face immediately returned to indifference.

That's what his personality is all about!

When encountering some unpleasant things, I can always comfort myself. So that in a short period of time, let yourself be in a happy mood.

This kind of mentality can't be said to be bad.

After all, those who live a long life and are mostly optimistic and open-minded.

But as a superior person, if you do everything like this, you comfort yourself. That is, if you don't want to make progress, it will not benefit the country.

Later generations often said that being prepared for danger in times of peace is to guard against this mentality.

Regarding the saint's reaction, Xiao Funa was also a little uneasy in his heart. But in order to accomplish today's plan, increase his prestige, and win over the hearts and minds of the Northern Privy Council, he had to bite the bullet.

In fact, as a descendant of the Xiao family, he originally followed Xiao Weili's thorn. And Li Shichang, as Xiao Weili's grandson-in-law, should have a good relationship with him.

But in fact, after Xiao Weili died suddenly, he took over as the head of the Xi tribe. And in the court, he no longer takes Li Shichang, the son-in-law appointed by Xiao Weili, as the head of the horse.

This is also what he has always been haunted by.

In any case, he is much more noble than Li Shichang and a cloth cloth Han person. and from the same Xi clan, they are a lot closer in blood. So he still can't figure out why Xiao Wei didn't marry his granddaughter to him.

Perhaps, it's Xiao Weili who is stabbing the old fool!

Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. Now what he cares about is how to be a good envoy of the Northern Privy Council. In this way, Li Shichang's conspiracy to merge the north and south courts and denounce the court officials of the north court was foiled.

It is precisely for this reason that after he took office, he changed his neutral attitude and had to go toe-to-toe with Li Shichang.

Although he has always been at a disadvantage, fortunately, he is not without helpers.

Thinking of this, the afterglow of the corner of his eyes unconsciously swept to the right front, and the old god was on the body of King Yi, the Great Tiyin Si Tiyin-Yeluzizheng.

Speaking of which, this highly respected King Yi, who has always shown himself as a good man in the court, is really impressive. Behind his back, he encouraged his officials to return to the court and slander Li Shichang to the saint.

On the other hand, he was friendly with Li Shichang again. and revealed the slanderous words of the Hui court officials to Li Shichang, which attracted attacks and retaliation against the Hui court officials and even the entire Northern Privy Council.

This face, if it weren't for the fact that when his wife entered the palace to meet the queen, she happened to leak her mouth. Then he is afraid that he is in the dark now.

And this policy of merging the north and south courts is said to have been secretly revealed by Yeluzi. Somehow, it reached Li Shichang's ears again. As a result, the people of the Southern Privy Council thought that they had obtained some great good idea.

As everyone knows, they are all being played with by Yeluzi between applause.

The group of returning officials under his command, because of this matter, took Yeluzi as the head of the horse.

They are very secretive, but if no one knows about it, they can't do it unless they do! If he has the heart to investigate, he can naturally see some clues.

So deep down, he still didn't want to have too deep a relationship with Yeluzi. But the Northern Privy Council has fallen so far, and it is not his own strength that can regroup. And the Hui officials, who had long controlled the Northern Privy Council, were separated from themselves and were difficult to tame.

So in desperation, he had no choice but to cooperate with him.

Like today's performance, it has already been arranged. Now that he has stepped up, it is just a key part of the strategy.

This gesture fell in Li Shichang's eyes, and it was an unstoppable mockery. said that he had been ill for a few days, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, because he couldn't stand the shame of withdrawing from the marriage, and stood in the court without shame. But only he knows what he's done in the past few days.

Since Xiao Servant is also willing to follow Yelu Zizheng, the old horseman, to deal with him, then today, don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless.

But at the moment, he can't do anything yet. Because he wanted to see how many people in the court were on the thief ship of Jelu Zizheng. How many people are openly befriending themselves, but secretly stabbing themselves.

So he just stared coldly and didn't speak.

Soon, the person in charge of the prison, Yilibi Khudabardi, also stood up. First, he echoed Xiao Chennaye's theory of the Mongol threat, and then pointed out with profound meaning that the current misguided policy of trade with Mongolia is not true.

When these words are said, the meaning is obviously different.
