Li Congjing didn't have to think about it to know that when Yelu Min heard that the person who sent the assassin was Yelu Deguang, the person he kept asking her to help and ask her to temporarily "pledge allegiance", his heart must have been as disgusting as eating a fly—and not just disgusting.

The hand on the windowsill unconsciously used its strength, until the sound of the window bar cracking, Li Congjing came back to his senses, "When I talked to Yelumin yesterday, whether it was forced by reality or because of my relationship, Yelumin couldn't say that he didn't really consider my suggestion, but now it's no wonder that Yelumin's temperament has changed dramatically today, with all these actions, I'm afraid that at this time, she doesn't know who to believe, and even I have become untrustworthy."

"It's not just not credible, it's about to become a joke." Tao Yaoyao didn't taunt Li Congjing anymore, with the occurrence of this assassination, the situation in the Khitan immediately became tricky, and she has always handled it very well in terms of severity, "But I still can't figure it out, why did Yelu Deguang send someone to assassinate Yelu Min?" ”

Li Congjing said: "For a while, I couldn't figure out why Yelu Deguang felt that Yelu Min's existence was always a threat to her, especially when I attached so much importance to Ye Lu Min, in order to avoid being hindered by Ye Lu Min after taking power in the future, he did have a reason to get rid of this threat first." ”

Tao Yaoyao nodded, "For Yelu Deguang, instead of hoping that when his troops come to the West Tower, Yelu Min will take refuge in the battle, it is better to simply get rid of Ye Lu Min, and it can be regarded as cutting off one of Ye Lu Bei's arms, so that although there is one less arm to help at that time, it also avoids the risk that Ye Lu Min will die to protect Ye Lu Bei." This is indeed the perfect solution. ”

This possibility is reasonable, and Li Congjing can't refute it, if Yelu Deguang doesn't want to believe him from the bottom of his heart, doesn't believe in his strategy, doesn't believe that Yelu Min sincerely takes refuge, but worries about a trap in front of him, then his actions seem logical.

Li Congjing simply stopped talking, closed his eyes and pondered, his mind turned rapidly, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Tao Xiaoyao didn't bother him, he was by the side, the focused man was always very attractive, not to mention that he was still contemplating the important affairs of the country, although Tao Yaoyao was different from ordinary people, she was also a woman in the end, and it was impossible to say that she was not attracted by Li Congjing's appearance for a point or two.

After a long time, Li Congjing suddenly opened his eyes, "No! ”

At this time, Yelu Min had already arrived in Miyagi, because he had stayed at the assassination site for a long time before, and now it was already past the time for the hundred officials to go to the court, but the court meeting had not yet dispersed, and the hundred officials were still gathered in the court.

When the emperor heard that Zai was assassinated, he was furious and left in front of the Buddha. Then came the emperor's edict, ordering the general of the department to personally arrest the responsible officials and go to prison immediately. At present, the hundred officials are still in the court and have not dispersed, the emperor is temporarily resting in the Jinguang Pavilion, and the word has been passed down, and the prime minister can go back to the palace to rest - if the prime minister has come to the palace, he can also go directly to the Jinguang Pavilion to meet him. ”

Immediately after Yelu Min dismounted in front of the palace, a waiter hurried up and politely conveyed to her the situation of the court and Yelu Bei's will.

"Back to the emperor, the king must not abandon his ministers, although I am slightly frightened, but my body is fine, please don't worry about the emperor, I will go to the Taiyi Hall to wait for the emperor to come to the court." Jeremiah walked forward and said to the waiter, his attitude clear and firm.

Naturally, the waiter didn't have a reason to talk much, and immediately went to report Yelu Min's words to Yelubei.

What Yelu Min, who was heading towards the Taiyi Palace, did not know that Yelu Bei had already known her whereabouts, and before she dismounted in front of the palace, someone left quickly from the palace city wall to report her movements to Yelu Bei.

In the Golden Light Pavilion, Yelubei sat on the royal chair, his eyes did not see the depth, in addition to him, there was also a foreign minister in the hall, that person stood with his hands down, his eyebrows were guarded, and his temperament was calm.

"Why hasn't Min'er come to Miyagi yet, can't she really be hurt?" Yelubei looked at the people in the hall, "Han Qing, could there be a mistake with your people and really hurt my imperial sister?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the assassins are all warriors carefully selected by the ministers, and there will be no mistakes." The person who was called "Han Qing" by Yelubei was Han Yanhui!

As Yelu Abaoji's former confidant, he has the status of an analogue emperor in Khitan, after Yelu Abaoji collapsed and Yelu Bei succeeded to the throne, Han Yanhui was not valued by Yelu Bei at first, because at that time, Yelu Abaoji had the meaning of replacing Yelu Bei with Yelu Deguang, and Han Yanhui, as his confidant, naturally had the same position as him.

However, in the past four years, Han Yanhui has won the trust of the new emperor with his practical actions, and he is indeed talented, so he is increasingly reused by Yelubei and gradually attracted as a confidant.

At this time, someone came to report Yelumin's whereabouts, including Yelumin's order to kill the guards in the Fang District, and the whipping of Xilou Yin and the general of the Iron Guard, all of which were told to Yelubei word for word.

After hearing what happened, Yelubei's face changed, and he almost stood up, "Min'er really ordered the guards to kill all the soldiers of Wuhou Pu, and whipped Xilou Yin unconscious?" ”

After the visitors confirmed them one by one, Jelubei waved his hand and told him to step back. Looking at Han Yanhui, Yelubei smiled bitterly: "Since returning from Youzhou, Min'er's temperament has always been very gentle, and she is even more respectful of the imperial court decrees like a god, and she has never exceeded the rules. ”

Han Yanhui was also shocked when he first heard Ye Lumin's actions today, but he quickly calmed down, "The emperor is too worried, the prime minister is just angry and anxious, so this is the reason for this angry move, after this matter subsides, the prime minister will definitely recover as before."

"I'm afraid that Min'er's temperament will change drastically because of this, if that's the case, I'll be at peace with my heart" Yelu Bei showed a look of guilt and self-blame.

Seeing Yelubei's appearance, Han Yanhui immediately persuaded: "The emperor is also for the Khitan country, and he has no choice but to make this decision, not deliberately ignoring the feelings of his brothers and sisters, but the prime minister knows about this matter and will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts" Paused and added in a low voice: "Besides, this matter is arranged very carefully and hiddenly, the prime minister will only know that the assassin was sent by Yelu Deguang, and will not have other ideas, the emperor can rest assured." ”

It turned out that last night's assassination of Yelu Min was simply from the plan of Ye Lu Bei and Han Yanhui! The reason why the killer said Yelu Deguang's name when he was dying was also deliberately arranged by the two monarchs and ministers, and the purpose was to blame Yelu Deguang for this matter!

The reason why the two have such a plan is to ensure that there are no worries about the westward expedition. Once Yelubei leads the troops to battle, the ministers who stay in the West Building will be led by Yelumin, and at that time, the back and hometown will be controlled by Yelumin, how can Yelubei really not be worried?

Yelubei has military arrangements for Yelu Deguang, and of course he has to make arrangements for Yelumin.

With this assassination at night, it will definitely make Yelu Min and Ye Lu De shine together, which ensures that Ye Lu Min will not have other thoughts, but will only be optimistic about the West Building for her when Yelu Bei is on his expedition to the west. In this way, there is Yelu Min inside to defend the West Building, and there is Raozhou ambush support outside, which can ensure that the West Building is foolproof!

It's not that Yelubei doesn't trust Yelumin, and not to mention that the king shouldn't trust anyone completely, or that he believes in Yelumin, shouldn't he be afraid of some people in the West Building with ulterior motives?

The pro-Tang faction and the pro-Yelu Deguang faction among the ministers, who do these people rely on to suppress?

"The prime minister's words make sense, although the emperor needs to be angry in the court and deal with some officials in order to show his attention and intimacy to the prime minister at this time, but throwing the ministers in the Taiyi Hall is indeed not a move that should be, and the emperor should go to the court." Han Yanhui said again, "As for the prime minister, as long as the emperor appeases him more, there is no need to worry." ”

Yelubei nodded, stood up, and was about to move to the Taiyi Palace, when he suddenly stopped at the door, and looked back at Han Yanhui with an unkind gaze, "I don't want to show that I attach great importance to Min'er and are very close, but it is the truth!" ”

"Yes, the minister lost his word"
