However, Yelu Ao Lu Wei considered that he rashly ceded the sixteen states of Youyun that his ancestors had so hard to obtain, and he would definitely be criticized by the subjects of the world. Therefore, he simply said that he thought about it and put the matter off.

The reputation of a traitor is not good.

In this regard, Han Shusheng did not rush to urge Yelu Ao Lu to express his position in a hurry, because he knew that with the current situation in the Liao State, the new emperor would soon take the initiative to come to him to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty.

Sure enough, the rise of the Jurchens so rapidly not only shocked Shangjing and Tokyo, but even Yelu Aolu, who was in Zhongjing, was also shocked. Although he is the eldest son of Yelu Yanxi, he is still just a child after all, growing up in the hands of a woman in the deep palace, even if he is skilled in bows and horses, it is just a personal martial arts.

As a result, the patriarch of the Han family and Han Shusheng were urgently recruited into the palace in Zhongjing by Yelu Aolu.

"Aiqing, do you think it is better to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, or to accept the Jurchens as courtiers?" When Yelu Ao Lu saw the two of them, he actually asked such a question.

After hearing this, Han Shusheng frowned, thinking: Which brainless minister came up with this idea for His Majesty, and negotiating peace with the Jurchens is tantamount to conspiring with the tiger and binding himself.

This brainless minister was not an official from Zhongjing and Shenyang, but an official from Shangjing, who was captured during the Battle of Chuhedian, but this time he came to surrender to Yelu Aolu Ganna.

Surrender is not only the meaning of persuasion, but also the meaning of voluntary surrender.

On the one hand, he was still actively preparing for the pre-war preparations for the attack on Huanglong Mansion, and on the other hand, in order to paralyze the strongest Yelu Aolugan, he deliberately chose a Khitan official who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and went to Zhongjing to congratulate the new monarch on his ascension to the throne, and also to let this demote take a look at the new monarch's success.

In the eyes of Yelu Aolugan, for his Great Liao State, the threat of the Great Song State is indeed greater, and if the Song State cuts off such a large piece of fat from the territory of the Liao State at once, which monarch will weigh the gains and losses again and again.

"Dare to ask this lord's surname?" Han Yanshou, the patriarch of the Han family, did not speak, but looked at Han Shusheng with his eyes, and Han Shusheng did not directly answer Yelu Aolugan's question, but first asked the official in the hall who had never met.

The official didn't know the details of Han Shusheng, and when he saw that he could actually come to the main hall in a cloth cloth, he didn't dare to slack off, and replied cautiously: "Don't dare to be a lower official, the official surname is Xiao, his name is Xiao Zhifu, and he is just a minor official in the capital." ”

"The surname Xiao is good! Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Sixian, both brothers, are surnamed Xiao, and I heard that you were actually captured in the Battle of Chuhedian. In this way, you and the Xiao family brothers are related to each other. "Han Shusheng naturally won't let him have a good time, since his surname is Xiao, and he was captured in Xiao Sixian's army, to say that he has nothing to do with the Xiao brothers, only a fool will believe it.

However, the previous Yelu Aolugan was one of those fools. On the one hand, he was still young, inexperienced, and always kind, so he did not doubt the true intentions of this messenger.

This is also an important reason why Han Shusheng is willing to assist Yelu Aolugan to ascend the throne.

A king's generosity is sometimes a disadvantage, but even if he is ultimately defeated, he is often more popular.

Knowing that this scholar is not simple, Xiao Zhifu was frightened by Han Shusheng's question, and he replied carefully: "This gentleman, in the capital, the surname Xiao is unknown, and the lower official just happened to be born in the Xiao family, if he was related to those two traitors, how could he be a prisoner of the Jurchens?" ”

Xiao Zhifu thought that he could get away with this, but he thought of Han Shusheng too simply.

Han Shusheng suddenly skipped the question of going to Beijing and turned the topic 360 degrees, "Lord Xiao, how are you doing in Huanglong Mansion?" ”

"My lord, he was about to ......" Xiao Zhifu's mind didn't turn around for a while, and he almost told the truth.

"Oh! My lord? Hehehe, there has never been any canonization of the monarch of the Liao Kingdom, and how can you say it, you haven't finished what you said just now! Isn't it to finish Yan Agu to prepare to attack the Huanglong Mansion! Yes and no? After Han Shusheng sneered three times, he suddenly amplified his voice and asked in a loud voice.

After all, Xiao Zhifu is just a petty official, and he was frightened by Wanyan Agu before, but now he was deceived by Han Shusheng, and his prototype was immediately revealed.

The Zhongjing guards and Dutong in the palace felt that their faces were gloomy, and the patriarch of the Han clan drank and said, "Come on, push this spy out and behead it." ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people know that you have concerns in your heart, after all, if my Great Liao Kingdom really signs a peace agreement with the Southern Kingdom, it will lose a large area of territory, and when the time comes, you will not be able to explain it to your subjects. However, you have forgotten that the Great Song Kingdom is a state of etiquette after all, and Taishi Cai has always been a person who does what he says, and they say that as long as the sixteen states of Youyun are concerned, they will never ask for an extra inch of territory.

However, the spy sent by Wanyan Aguda this time has two purposes, one is to delay the army, he is afraid that Your Majesty will send troops to save the Huanglong Mansion, and the other is to send someone to see what kind of monarch you are. The Jurchens were barbaric and uncivilized, greedy and greedy, and they were very different from the Song people. Judging from his performance this time, what Wanyan Aguda wants is not to be a minister to you, what he wants is your country! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Jurchens took the opportunity of a great victory this time to wantonly absorb the households of our Liao State and expand their power, and their intentions are not small. Huanglong Mansion is in danger, but the elite soldiers of my Great Liao Kingdom are now in Yanjing City, if you don't agree to the peace discussion. It is very likely that Taishi Cai of the southern kingdom will not attack Yanjing Mansion City, but just send a large army to surround it. When the time comes, the Jurchens will become a big problem. If you want to make peace with Nanguo again, I'm afraid that person may not agree to the conditions at this time. The patriarch of the Han clan also admonished.

"Let's go, everything is according to what Aiqing said. However, there is one thing, Mr. Han, you must be the prime minister of me before you agree to this. "Just been deceived, Yelu Aolugan's face is inevitably a little ashamed.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and the grass people agreed. However, Your Majesty, this matter will not be discussed until after returning to Shangjing. The minister personally beheaded the head of the traitor Xiao Fengxian's brother, so that he had the face to take this official position. When Han Shusheng heard Yelu Aolugan's request, his face suddenly turned white, and he made a procrastination trick to gently take off the matter.
