But his identity is really suspicious, so even if he deliberately makes friends, those powerful people who take his identity very seriously will not look down on him. So the heavy gift was thrown into the water, and there was not even a splash.

After this setback, Qu Qu Lu did not give up. Instead, they changed their methods and deliberately wooed some middle and low-level officials with low official positions. and then through their relationship, they talked to the upper officials.

The amount of money needed for this is huge. After selling all the valuable items, Qu Qulu had no choice but to let the guards who followed him sell the animal furs that he wore in winter.

And hunting everywhere, skinning and selling meat, so as to make up for one or two. This day is a rare experience he has had since he was born.

But in the process of fleeing south before, the hunger and cold he suffered gave him a lot of experience. So the hard life now is not too sad.

After all, compared with the Mongols who are like bones and marrow, the current situation is really much better. At least you don't have to sleep in the wilderness and worry about the pursuit of the Mongol rangers.

Now it is a great cause of revival, and it finally has an eyebrow. The mind that he had been holding in his throat finally relaxed a little.

I ordered people to prepare generally, and planned to visit with generous gifts.

At the same time, Yiwangfu. One of the rare one-word kings of Daliao - King Yi, the great Tiyin Si Tiyin who is in charge of the politics and religion of the four royal families - Yelu Zizheng. is in his own flower hall, and several court officials in different costumes, discussing something together.

As a rare descendant of the royal family in the Great Liao clan. Yelu Zizheng's prestige is beyond the reach of others.

Although the ancestors and the Dezong Yelu Dashi who moved westward, they are not close in blood. But with the same lineage of Liao Taizu, he can still be regarded as a member of the clan.

Therefore, when the current royal family is withering and there are few descendants, he can only be allowed to take the position of Tiyin.

Logically, according to his prestige. As long as he does not interfere too much in the court, it will not affect his status.

After all, his duty is to take care of the affairs of the royal family. The affairs of the court are handled by the Privy Councils of the North and South. In the case of each performing its own duties, it is also the well water that does not interfere with the river water.

But in his heart, he obviously didn't want to be a living bodhisattva beyond the world. Especially after the news of Shengshang's intention to marry the Li family came out, he was even more panicked.

Because all along, he had a luxury. That is, by virtue of his status as a member of the royal family, he is close to the saint. So that one day in the future, let yourself become the orthodoxy of Daliao.

In order to realize this plan, he secretly asked people to say something unfavorable to Li Shichang in front of the saint. and pretended to please the princess, and revealed some after marrying into the Li family. will be harassed by the Li family because of the harm to Li Chengji.

The ears of the saints today are already very soft. In the court, the faction headed by Li Shichang is indeed dominant. In addition, the princess was in front of the saint and kept crying. This marriage is finally messed up.

And the saint's suspicion of Li Shichang is becoming more and more obvious.

Thinking of this, he felt that the young man who was in the imperial tent back then and asked for the position of the head of a hundred households became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Because without Li Shichang's good son, Li Chengji's 'assist', the saint's suspicion of Li Shichang would not be so deep.

Although in his heart, what Li Chengji did in the river can only be regarded as a small fight, and it cannot be put on the table. But in order to affect Li Shichang's status in the heart of the saint, it dealt a blow to Li Shichang's momentum in the court.

So he still talked about what Li Chengji was doing. On the other hand, Li Shichang praised Li Shichang's request to the governor of Khorasan for Li Chengji. And deceitful, making him think that the Holy One doesn't care about this matter.

As a result, the monarch and the ministers have a gap in their hearts and improve their status.

No, not long ago, the Holy Lord also crowned him as the Prince of One Word. This honor, but he couldn't ask for it for a long time.

Because since Dezong moved westward, he has set the rule that no merit will be knighted. Even if it is a clan, it can only be a descendant of Dezong. Like him, a side that can only be beaten with eight poles, don't even think about it.

So much so that even though he was quite prestigious among his clans. and has the position of Tiyin, a high and powerful position. But the Holy One never gave him any reward, not even his ancestors.

So that when the saint crowned him as the king of one word, he was so proud in his heart.

But that's not enough!

Because as long as Li Shichang exists in the DPRK for one day, then there will always be a possibility of recovering from marriage. And Li Shichang's henchmen are quite large, if they don't suppress it. Then in the future, they will be able to plot the throne, and it will be easy for them to hinder it.

Therefore, no matter what, he must make a move to deal with Li Shichang.

In fact, to be honest, he would not be willing to do it himself if he could. After all, Li Shichang has been in the court for many years, and he has inherited the connections of the former king of the Southern Courtyard, and he has a lot of henchmen. If you want to catch it all, you must be well prepared.

Otherwise, if it's not good, it's a dead end.

This kind of tightrope-like experience is naturally not as safe as that of a high-flying bystander.

Just like a few years ago, when Mahmut Tebai was still in the court, he fought against Li Shichang. No matter how the two sides fight, he can stay out of it. Even when a certain side highlights the decline slightly, it inadvertently pulls a hand. So that between the two forces, the two sides are on good terms.

No matter who it is, not only do they dare not offend him, but they also have to make friends with a smile on their faces.

It is a pity that with the complete rejection of Mahmut by the Holy Lord, this good situation was inevitably broken.

When Li Shichang faced him, he no longer had any scruples as before. Even in the affairs of the royal family, they began to point fingers.

It made him inevitably angry in his heart. Now, he has to jump from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, opposite Li Shichang.

Fortunately, at the moment, Li Shichang has not yet noticed it. This allowed him to prepare for a longer time.

"Lord Wang! The old man thought. The matter of receiving the Great Khan of the Barbarian Department still needs to be considered in the long run. ", a court official dressed up again, said loudly. Since Mahmutebai was demoted to the rank of commoner, the power of the Hui faction in the Great Liao Dynasty has plummeted.

Even in the end, he was beaten by a water dog. On the grounds that the responsibilities of the two courts in the north and south were unclear and there were many redundant officials, the proposal for merger was proposed.

If this matter is really implemented, then the court officials of the Northern Privy Council will definitely end up in idle positions.

Although the responsibilities are not clear, there are many redundant officials, but it is also true. But at this time, it's hard not to think about it. For the sake of their own careers, these returning officials gladly accepted it when Yeluzi was throwing an olive branch.
