Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom, since Yelu Zongzhen regained power, for the sake of his own safety, he abandoned the tradition of making bowls where the royal family lived, and settled in the imperial palace in Zhongjing, and the outer imperial city and the city wall of Zhongjing seemed to bring Yelu Zongzhen a greater sense of security.

Yanshou Palace, that is, the dormitory where Yelu Zongzhen now lives, is now the third pole of the sun, but Yelu Zongzhen still hasn't gotten up, and the servants in the palace don't dare to go in to disturb, because they know that His Majesty the Emperor was drunk again last night, if they dare to disturb at this time, the emperor may let their heads fall to the ground in anger, in fact, many people have lost their lives because of angering the emperor during this time, which also makes everyone in the palace endanger, and they don't even dare to gasp.

Time passed little by little, and the sun rose from the east to the middle of the sky, and at this time, Yelu Zongzhen inside finally moved, and then he was heard shouting inside: "Take the wine!" Bring the wine! ”

For Yelu Zongzhen's behavior of drinking as soon as he woke up, the palace attendants seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and even they had already prepared, and immediately someone ran over quickly with the wine jar, seeing that they were about to rush into the main hall to deliver wine to Yelu Zongzhen.

"Wait!" At this moment, he suddenly heard only one voice interrupt the shout, and then he saw Yeluren striding in first, which made all the attendants around him bow their heads and salute him.

Yelu Renxian was defeated before, and he was also reprimanded by Yelu Zongzhen after he came back, but Yelu Zongzhen also knew that Yelu Renxian could not be blamed for this matter, so he only demoted Yelu Renxian and retained him.

What's more, since the defeat of the party, Yelu Zongzhen has also been hit hard, during this time he was almost immersed in wine, almost drunk from morning to night, and did not pay attention to the government at all, but fortunately Yeluren supported it first, otherwise maybe the Liao State would not need to be attacked by others, and he would be in chaos first.

I saw Ye Luren first walk in front of the waiter holding the wine jar, took the wine jar and waved his hand to let the other party retreat, and then pushed open the door of the Yanshou Hall with his own hands, and finally took a long breath and walked in.

Although it was already noon, the windows of the Yanshou Hall had not yet opened, and the hall was a little dim, and the hall was filled with a bad smell of alcohol, and when Yeluren walked to the back of the dormitory first, he also saw Yelu Zongzhen half-lying on the bed at a glance.

Originally, Yelu Zong was really only in his twenties, but now he has a gray face, and there are even a few thin forehead lines on his forehead, and he looks more than ten years older than his actual age.

"How are you?" Yelu Zongzhen also saw clearly that the person who came was Yelu Renxian at this time, and immediately frowned.

"The minister knows that His Majesty is in a bad mood, but Your Majesty, as the king of a country, must not be so decadent forever, after all, there are countless subjects outside who need Your Majesty, so the minister hopes that Your Majesty can cheer up!" Yelu Renxian suddenly knelt on the ground at this time, and admonished Yelu Zongzhen with a painful face.

After Yelu Zongzhen was decadent, Yelu Renxian never formally admonished him, not because he didn't want to persuade him, but because he knew that he needed to give Yelu Renxian a period of time to vent, so during this time, he also let Yelu Zongzhen mess around, but there must be a limit to nonsense, and now it's time for Yelu Zongzhen to cheer up.

"Cheer up? How can you cheer me up, even a single party item can defeat my Liaoguo Iron Cavalry, and Zhenzhou can't hold it anymore, when the party and I divide the territory and rule, where do you put my face? Yelu Zongzhen's face turned red at this time and he patted the bed board and roared.

Although Yelu Zongzhen was angry when he lost to the Great Song Dynasty before, after all, the Great Song was an opponent at the same level as the Liao State, so he could still comfort himself in his heart, but now even the party items that were killed by the Great Song Dynasty like a defeated dog could defeat them, which made Yelu Zongzhen feel a deep humiliation, and even a feeling of being faceless.

"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this defeat does not mean that we are weaker than the party, but the timing of sending troops is not right, as long as Your Majesty reinvigorates, in the future, whether it is the party or the Great Song Dynasty, it will be the defeat of my Da Liao!" Yeluren said solemnly again, and his words were full of faith.

Maybe it was because of Yelu Renxian's confidence, or maybe it was because he thought of the glory of the Liao Kingdom at the beginning, Yelu Zongzhen finally regained a little calm at this time, only to stare at Yelu Renxian for a while, and then finally spoke: "What are your plans for the current situation?" ”

"Your Majesty, after two major defeats, my Liao State is also seriously injured, and it is really not appropriate to send troops to fight anyone, so the only way is to find allies!" Yeluren immediately said solemnly.

"Allies? Where did you ask me to find my allies? Yelu Zongzhen couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard Yelu Renxian's words, the Great Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang, and even the Goryeo in the east and the Jurchens in the north all had huge contradictions with the Liao State, so he really couldn't think of anyone else who could be their ally of the Liao State?

"Your Majesty, there is no eternal enemy in this world, we and the Great Song Dynasty were once enemies of life and death, but then we still signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan? So as long as Your Majesty is willing to pay some price, or even show weakness, you can turn the enemy into our ally! Yeluren said solemnly again.

"What do you mean...... Again an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty? Yelu Zongzhen asked with some suspicion at this time, in fact, after the defeat of Gubeikou before, he had sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, but this kind of peace was not an alliance, but temporarily lifted the state of war between the two sides, so that the border resumed some exchanges, far less intimate than the alliance of the Yuanyuan back then.

"It's not the Great Song Dynasty, the minister thinks that the minister is strong now, let's not talk about whether the other party is willing, even if the other party is really willing to form an alliance, I'm afraid we will also be in a weak position, and then it will be like the Song State of the Yuanyuan Alliance, but the situation is reversed, maybe the Song State will ask us for New Year's coins!" Ye Luren sighed at the end, when the emperor signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, I am afraid he would not have thought that decades later, the Liao State would instead ask the Song State for peace.

"If we don't form an alliance with the Song State, then who else can be our ally?" Yelu Zongzhen asked again puzzled at this time, in his heart, the only one qualified to form an alliance with the Liao State was the Great Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, don't just look at the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao is eloquent, brave and strategic, and now it has become the climate, and he also has a blood feud with the Great Song Dynasty, now our Liao State, the Party and the Great Song Dynasty, just like the Three Kingdoms of the year, the Great Song Dynasty is the strongest, equivalent to Cao Wei, and we and the Party are Sun Wu and Liu Bei, none of them are the opponents of the Great Song Dynasty, only by joining forces can we resist the offensive of the Great Song Dynasty!" Eventually, Jereusian finally spoke out what was in his heart.

"No, the defeat at the hands of the party has made me lose face before, if I take the initiative to send someone to show favor at this time, people will definitely think that I am afraid of the party!" After hearing this, Yelu Zongzhen refused without hesitation, even at this time, he was still unwilling to let go of his arrogant temperament, and his face was even bigger than the sky.

"Your Majesty, the Han people have a saying, called the big husband can bend and stretch, now the situation is not favorable to my Great Liao, Your Majesty might as well endure it for a few years, wait until the strength of my Great Liao recovers in the future, and then defeat the Song State in one fell swoop, regain control of Yanyun, and rewrite the glory of my Great Liao!" Yeluren immediately and eagerly persuaded again.

In fact, Yelu Renxian also thought about the alliance with the party for a long time, and he also knew that Yelu Zongzhen would definitely be very excluded, but with the current situation, forming an alliance with the party was almost their best choice.

"There is absolutely no need to talk about this matter, unless I die, it is impossible to form an alliance with the party!" Yelu Zong really immediately waved his hand and said very decisively.

Seeing Yelu Zongzhen's attitude so resolute, Yelu Renxian couldn't help but sigh, and then hesitated for a moment before taking out a document from his sleeve and said: "Since Your Majesty refuses to form an alliance with the party, then you have to choose to make a decision, this is a document sent by the Great Song Dynasty, and they hope to send envoys to discuss the alliance with us!" ”
