Seeing Yelu Min crying, Ye Lu Bei couldn't help but feel a burst of relief, at this moment he felt a little bit in his heart, in the end, it was a brother and sister, blood was thicker than water, not everyone could get in the way, but this thought was fleeting, Ye Lu Bei then regained the imperial heart, thinking about what reward to give Ye Lu Min, in order to better consolidate the results of today's conversation.

During this trip to the North Courtyard, Yelumin somewhat dispelled some suspicions about Yelumin, not because Yelumin shed tears, nor because Yelumin showed loyalty, but because under his many temptations, Yelumin did not show any flaws—although the suspicions dispelled were actually limited.

After returning to Jinguang Pavilion, Yelu Bei first dealt with government affairs for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, and the ministers were about to go back, he thought about it, and called Han Yanhui again before this, and told the other party about the concerns in his heart when he talked to Li Congjing.

Han Yanhui pondered for a moment, and then denied the possibility that Ye Lumin would have any complicity with Li Congjing, his attitude was even decisive, and his tone was also very affirmative, "Although the Prime Minister has an old relationship with Li Congjing, he was quite taken care of by Li Congjing when he was in Youzhou in the past, but this does not mean anything, just imagine, at that time, the Prime Minister had no relatives in Youzhou, but Li Congjing was the person entrusted by the emperor to take care of her, and the Prime Minister would naturally have a closer relationship with Li Congjing, otherwise, in a foreign land, who else can the Prime Minister rely on?" ”

Yelu Bei held his jaw and groaned, Han Yanhui's words made some sense, but is this really the case? He asked: "If Min'er and Li Congjing don't have that relationship, why did she stay in Youzhou all those years?" ”

This time, Han Yanhui replied quickly, "This is the pure heart of the Prime Minister!" Although the prime minister was forced to leave the country, after all, he was concerned about the Khitan and the emperor, so he was reluctant to go far. In addition, the prime minister knew that the emperor had some 'agreement' with Li Congjing, so she stayed in Youzhou, so why not monitor Li Congjing for the emperor, lest Li Congjing be treacherous? ”

The more Han Yanhui spoke, the more determined he became, "The Prime Minister's pure heart can be learned, otherwise, why did she devote herself to politics when she was in Youzhou?" Why did he return to Khitan immediately after the Battle of the West Building? It is not difficult to imagine that the reason why the prime minister practiced political affairs back then was for the Khitan and the emperor! Over the years, although the Prime Minister has had some different political views from the emperor at some times, there is no doubt about the idea of wholeheartedly serving the Khitan and the emperor! ”

Yelubei didn't see any look on his face, and he muttered: "However, Li Congjing saw Min'er when he first came to the West Building, and he is extremely protective of Min'er in today's words."

"This is exactly Li Congjing's cunning!" Every time Li Congjing was mentioned, Han Yanhui didn't have a good face, and his angry appearance almost gritted his teeth, Yelubei liked his appearance very much, which made him feel that he and Han Yanhui were the same enemy, "Please think about it, if Li Congjing wants to sabotage the emperor's western expedition, what other measures can he take besides threatening Lu Longjun?" ”

Yelubei quickly understood what Han Yanhui meant, but he didn't say it explicitly, the king naturally wouldn't guess the courtiers' problems, once he guessed wrong, it would affect his prestige too much, so he just made a look that he already understood, "What does Han Qing mean?" ”

"On the outside, Lu Longjun threatens each other, and on the inside, he provokes the suspicion of the monarch and the minister!" The resentment in Han Yanhui's eyes was even stronger, "Isn't this Li Congjing's usual trick!" When he first came to the West Building, he met the Prime Minister, and when he talked to the emperor today, he showed a very close relationship with the Prime Minister everywhere, and this is the purpose! ”

"What Han Qing said is reasonable." Yelubei was broken by Han Yanhui so little, and his mind suddenly became clear, "Li Congjing suffered a loss in Shudi, and now tens of thousands of troops can't get out, after he learned that I was going to go west, he wanted to stop me, so he came to the West Building, but what can he rely on at this time?" Counting it down, there is not much power in his hands! If it is full of calculations, it is just Lulong and Datong Domain. No matter how arrogant Li Congjing is, he wants to go north to the grassland with only two feudal towns, he will have some scruples in his heart, and if he can provoke the suspicion of my Khitan monarch and minister, he will have a lot to do! ”

Although Ye Lumin did not report to him in time about meeting Li Congjing, he thought that he was assassinated today, and his mind was not calm, and combined with Ye Lumin's performance when he was in the North Courtyard, he did not mean to be very close to Li Congjing, and he also directly said the purpose of Li Congjing's coming to her.

"The emperor is wise, that's exactly the case!" Han Yanhui hurriedly sang a hymn, "There is no doubt that the Prime Minister is loyal to the country, and the performance of the Prime Minister in the past few years is proof of this. Besides, what is he Li Congjing, and why does the Prime Minister favor him and give birth to such thoughts? In addition, Li Congjing is a person who treats the Khitan as an enemy, and he should not have any intentions towards the Prime Minister, who returned to the country back then, but he didn't even stop him. ”

Seeing Yelubei nodding in agreement, Han Yanhui continued: "The emperor might as well think about it, before last year, the emperor was quite close to the Tang Dynasty, and often sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, in this case, if the prime minister really has that relationship with Li Congjing, Li Congjing can let the Tang Dynasty marry the Khitan, and the prime minister will show these meanings to some extent, but what the truth is, there is no need to say much." ”

It's not that Yelubei didn't think of these things, it's just that he habitually doesn't completely trust anyone, and now that Han Yanhui is the same as he thinks, the so-called bystanders are clear, and this matter is confirmed by the other party, and it will not be far from ten.

"As a king, at this critical time, you really shouldn't be provoked by the enemy to suspect the important ministers of the country." Yelubei thought in his heart, he couldn't ask Li Congjing to make two moves at will, and then he messed up, that would be too stupid, as Han Yanhui said, Yelumin is loyal to the country, and it has indeed been proven over the years that she has been exhausted for the sake of the Khitan people.

Yelubei showed a look of grasping the overall situation, "Li Congjing now has no support in his hands, and he wants to block the western expedition out of thin air, so he even does not hesitate to use a female stream, which shows that he is indeed poor in donkey skills." He sneered, his eyes showing contempt, "It's really ridiculous and generous!" Going north alone, he wants to subvert my empire, Li Congjing is inevitably too arrogant, he really thinks that he is omnipotent, and he is a god in the sky! Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Li Congjing is a momentary figure, his reputation has been admired by the world, but Yelubei never thought that his talent was a few points inferior to Li Congjing, he did rely on Li Congjing's help to become the throne of the Khitan Emperor, but because of this, he wanted to prove that he was stronger than Li Congjing's heart is more urgent.

Anyone who thinks they are strong will not be willing to accept handouts from others, and if they do, it will only make people more excited, looking forward to one day finding a place - there are many ways to do this, such as giving alms to the person who helped him in the future, but there is also a more direct way, which is to defeat that person!

Yelubei believes that as a king, he should not completely trust anyone, so the king is always suspicious, so this time he will have all kinds of actions and thoughts about Yelumin, but in the same way, as a wise lord, he should also know how to trust his courtiers, otherwise, he can still govern the huge country alone?

"Many people secretly slandered me, saying that I was able to get the throne entirely because of Li Congjing's help, but they couldn't see my efforts that day. hated that Li Congjing, he always thought that he helped me sit on the throne, and kept humiliating and coercing me with this, which is really hateful! This time, I want to tell the world that I have won the world, it is the destiny of heaven, and I have this talent! I also want Li Congjing to know that I am the one who really dominates the situation, and he is just a person who has done things because of people! ”

With this in mind, Jerubi secretly clenched his fists.

"When the expedition to the west is triumphant, we must see what kind of expression Li Congjing looks like at that time, and at that time, I will definitely make a big show and expel Li Congjing from the country, so that everyone in the world can see his embarrassment and incompetence clearly!" Jerubi swore in his heart.

Han Yanhui saw that there was nothing to do with him here, so he didn't stay anymore and asked to leave.

The two talked for a long time, and when Han Yanhui went out, night had fallen. At this time, the lights were lit everywhere, and it was bright, and in such a night, light and darkness wrestled with each other, and the direction in which everything was moving seemed uncertain.

In his early years, he was swept back to the grassland by the Khitan southern invasion army, and his life was almost lost, and he was later appreciated by Yelu Abaoji, and then became the emperor of a country, personally planning and presiding over the construction of an empire, and finally became extremely prosperous, Han Yanhui's experience in this life is not ordinary.

As far as he is concerned, where his hometown is and where the Tang Dynasty is, he has probably forgotten it in his heart, but the rise of Khitan cities and the establishment of a Khitan national policy and political system are controlled and witnessed by him, which is his hard work, the embodiment of his ability, and finally becomes the crystallization of his hard work, no different from his own children.

Although he is not a Khitan, the Khitan is his destination, because here is everything he has, this empire that he has poured his heart and soul into, he absolutely cannot tolerate it being destroyed and defiled, he has spent his whole life to complete a handicraft, a masterpiece that he is destined not to have himself, he must put this artwork in the hands of people he approves.

In Han Yanhui's view, looking at the Khitan, there is only one person who is qualified to be the owner of his masterpiece, and only he can make his children thrive in the future.

In the first half of his life, he worked hard to complete this masterpiece, and in the second half of his life, he had to do his best to preserve and perfect it. This has become what he wants all his life, it has become the destination of his life, and it has become the whole meaning of his life.

For this reason, he is willing to do anything, even if it is to lose the rest of his life, even if it is to lose his life.

Yelu Min naturally didn't know about the conversation between Yelu Bei and Han Yanhui, nor did she know what Han Yanhui was thinking, and she had no intention of respecting the other party's thoughts, a traitor, no matter how many reasons he had to do things for the enemy country, in the final analysis, he was just a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was addicted to fame and fortune, and he was not worth looking at. In her eyes, this person who turned his back on his family and country was just a brick and tile of the big building of the Khitan, nothing more.

However, the conversation with Yelubei made her already uncalm mood even more chaotic today, and on the way home, she kept her face calm.

What she didn't expect was that that person would appear on the streets of the square.

Yelu Min pulled the horse, her heart was complicated, seeing this person made her already chaotic state of mind like a quagmire, her face was still calm, "You still appear here?" Why do you come to me again? ”

Li Congjing's smile was helpless, "I'm afraid that if I don't come to see you today, when I see you again, you will stab me with a knife." After a pause, "Besides, you are in danger today, how can I not come to see you." ”

Li Congjing's concern is that when Yelu Min's chaotic state of mind is sorted out, it is likely that he and Yelu Deguang are not credible, and completely give up considering his previous proposal, Li Congjing can't wait, he must try to do something before that.

This is a bit helpless, but life is always full of helplessness, whether it is a child or an adult, whether it is a commoner or the king of Qin.
