Chapter 40: The Wild Goose Grows in the Sky (Part I)
[Overestimating the speed of his own code words and underestimating the things in today's unit.] Until now, there is a third watch, wait for a while to write, there is a change in the night, and another change tomorrow morning, there will be no less. 】
In early autumn, the most suitable season of the year for hunting has begun.
The current Emperor of the Great Liao, Yelu Hongji, likes to ride a spaceship straight into the sky, looking down on his land, and then get off the spaceship to chase prey.
Yelu Yixin watched from afar. The Son of Heaven can go on a happy safari precisely because of his help in handling the government affairs of the country.
The powerful ministers of Da Liao couldn't help but think that it would be good if the emperor could devote all his energy to these two things. Those trivial matters in the court can be handled by a loyal courtier like him.
The prince just didn't agree with Yelu Yixin's idea, and finally fell into the situation where his biological mother gave him death and he died claustrophobly. But Yelu Hongji is by no means Yelu Jun. Yelu Yixin can use slander to separate husband and wife, father and son, and instigate Yelu Hongji to kill the queen and abolish the crown prince, but when he faces Yelu Hongji, he can't use this method.
Yelujun's death was because the relationship between father and son could not overpower the struggle for power, and he only incited the fear hidden in Yeluhongji's heart, making him think that Yelujun had the intention of usurping the throne. After the rebellion of the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan, Yelu Yixin knew what Yelu Hongji was most afraid of.
The reason why Yelu Yixin was able to control the government was that he made great contributions in quelling the Yelu Chongyuan Rebellion. He still remembered that he confirmed Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion in the big tent, and the expression on the face of the Great Liao Tianzi at that time was in anger and deep fear. The voice that changed his tone betrayed his fear of losing power.
Now that Yelujun is dead, the Son of Heaven will no longer worry about a dead person snatching the throne with him, and the original fear and the anger that comes from it will disappear, and all that remains is the love between father and son, and suspicion will naturally breed quietly. At that time, maybe as long as someone says the last sentence, he can make the son change his mind and think that his son's rebellion is pure slander.
Yelu Yixin knows very well that his power is grafted on the imperial power. Without the support of imperial power, who can he Yelu Yixin call? Your own life and power are inseparable, and you can't let go for a moment. But Yelu Jun's unjust death is a sword hanging above his head, and Yelu Yixin can't tell when a catastrophe will befall him, and at that time, it will be a catastrophe.
His hands trembled, and Yelu Yixin suddenly found that the fear of losing power, whether it was the Son of Heaven or himself, was exactly the same, and there was no difference.
"The King." Xiao Shisan walked quickly to Yelu Yixin's side, holding a piece of paper in his hand, "Xijing Dao is urgent, it is a matter in the Western Xia Dynasty." As he handed it out, he peeked at Yelu Yixin's face.
Yelu Yixin woke up and returned to normal in an instant. took the piece of paper and hurriedly glanced at it: "Xixia Hanlin Scholar Jing Xun punished ...... with stolen goods" raised his head and asked, "Who is Jing Xun?" ”
Xiao 13 replied: "Jing Xun is a traitor to the Song people, and he has a lot of strategy, and he has repeatedly helped the party to attack the Song Dynasty. When he defected to the Western Xia more than ten years ago, the Southern Dynasty also named the Western Xia to return Jing Xun. ”
"Could it be that Jing Xun is a spy of the Song people?" Yelu Yixin asked in surprise.
Western Xia was a vassal to Liao and Song at the same time, and now it is even weaker. If they catch the meticulous work of the two countries, they don't dare to kill him for the crime of espionage, and they will inevitably be executed under other names, as if they don't know anything about being a spy at all, and leave the truth for the sake of empty space - not to mention that now that the Song people are sharpening their knives, they only lack an excuse. It can be inferred from this that the Song people's move to return Jingxun should be a pretense to push Jingxun's superiors to help.
"It's not." Xiao Shisan shook his head in denial, and found that his tone was too hard, so he hurriedly eased up, "It shouldn't be." Jing Xun is a member of the Liang family...... Mastermind. ”
Yelu Yixin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Remember that Bingchang is pro-government in June, right?" ”
"Exactly." Xiao 13 nodded, "I usually took charge of the government in June, and I killed the Liang family's cronies and ministers in just three months." This kid really can't hold his breath. ”
Yelu Yixin shook his head and sighed, "The mud can't support the wall, Xixia has reached this step of the field now, but it is really bad luck to meet such a confused lord." ”
"The king is right." Xiao 13 echoed: "Let go of the pro-government, the Liang family was unwilling, but the king sent a letter of state to question, so he had to let go of power." It's just that no one thought that in just three months of hard work, it would kill the head of the Hanlin Bachelor, if it was another year and a half, it wouldn't kill Liang Yi to bury his head? Liang is definitely going to fight back desperately. ”
Yelu Yixin narrowed his eyes and frowned silently.
Usually this little child, not to mention compared with Jiqian and Yuan Hao, even if he has the patience of his great-grandfather Deming, he will not do such a stupid thing that makes the Song people ecstatic.
After three years, the Song people must have settled down at the southern foot of Hengshan, and the grain and weapons were also sufficient, and most of them were ready to use troops in the northwest. Right now, for Western Xia, it is the time when they need to be in the same boat, but they usually kill their uncle's henchmen.
Yelu Yixin pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "...... If you talk about this, will the Song people know about it? ”
Xiao Shisan replied affirmatively: "Such a big thing, it must not be hidden from the ears and eyes of the Song people, the two sides have been fighting for so many years, and there must be dozens or hundreds of people sent over in detail, and it is impossible to hide any trouble, we are not the same people in Hebei." ”
"Always frivolous and impatient, the Liang family has a deep foundation, and will definitely fight." Yelu Yixin smiled slightly, "The Song people shouldn't let go of such a good opportunity." ”
Xiao Shisan's eyes lit up, since the incident had happened, it was useless to regret it, it was better to take advantage of the opportunity. If Da Liao can show his usual support, presumably the young lord of Western Xia will only be more impatient. When the time comes, Song and Xia will go to war, and Da Liao will be able to take the opportunity to intervene.
"If you fight with the Song people, ......" Yelu Yixin omitted the subject and only said half of it, but the meaningful look in his eyes made Xiao Shisan completely understand the intention of King Wei.
The Song people attacked Xia, and Da Liao must step in. If it further triggered the Song Liao war, just for the stability of the court, Yelu Yixin's position would be as stable as Mount Tai. Victory can be strengthened, win the support of all departments, and defeat ...... The situation will not be much worse than it is now.
"The King's Clever Plan." Xiao 13 bowed his head in submission.
Yelu Yixin was born in the Fifth Academy, and his father was nicknamed "Poor Thorn", and he was able to sit in his current position, which was of course unmatched in his political calculation.
"King! The last will meet the king. ”
Another person came to visit Yelu Yixin after the report, but it was Xiao Delit, who had been sent to Lu to run errands a few days ago, who came back.
"It's done?" Yelu Yixin asked casually.
"It's done." The smile on Xiao Delet's face was hideous, "Crown Princess......"
As soon as this title came out, he stopped in Yelu Yixin's fierce eyes. coughed and said, "This time you can be more peaceful." ”
"When it is." Yelu Yixin nodded and smiled.
'Where can Antai get it?!' The heart of the King of Great Liao Wei was still as cold as ice. It's just to deter some thieves at both ends of the rat and let them continue to watch. The enemy is still the enemy, but it has become more dangerous from light to dark.
After all, there were a lot of people who gathered around the late prince Yelu Jun at the beginning - this is also the reason why he Yelu Yixin could impress the Son of Heaven - after the death of the prince, the punishment of the same party on the surface, the separation of the separation, how many people are afraid of their own power and dare not speak. But sympathy for Yelujun still exists in the court, as long as they are given a chance to shake themselves, things will be in danger.
Having said that, even if Yelujun didn't do it himself, he died of illness on his own, and I'm afraid that many people will also try to plant this crime on themselves. As long as there is a chance to overturn himself, there will be no one who is unwilling to take the opportunity to step on his two feet.
"It's been a hard trip, so let's go down and freshen up and rest for a day. Wait for Ming'er to come back to me. Yelu Yixin said gently: "There are still a lot of places to borrow from you, don't get tired." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Delit knelt down and kowtowed, but did not leave, "Although the matter that the king ordered the villain has been done, the villain heard that His Majesty has recently recruited the imperial grandson into the palace to raise himself. This is not a trivial matter, and if it is not prevented as soon as possible, it may be a disaster. ”
Xiao Thirteen looked at Xiao Delite in surprise, this is something he has known for a long time, but Xiao Delite should not say it for no reason.
Yelu Yixin glanced at Xiao Delit and smiled indifferently: "Xiao Ruli is not smart, and her appearance is not outstanding, but she is very lucky, and she gave birth to two charming daughters, which is really surprising." "Neighbors......" he affectionately addressed Xiao Delet's cousin, "Do you say?" ”
Xiao Delit trembled, his whole body was cold, and his face became ugly, his secret conversation with Xiao Ruli was just a few hurried words when he came back, how could Yelu Yixin get the news, and he knew what he said.
I wanted to laugh twice to resolve the embarrassment, but I found that the laughter I was making now was hoarse and ugly, as if a male duck was calling. Hurriedly knelt down: "The villain didn't expect Xiao Ruli to turn his mind to be a national ruler." When the villain came back, he was going to take a detour to avoid a crowded place to meet the king, but he didn't expect to run into him. Xiao Ruli pulled the villain and said that the two daughters of his family were born noble and suitable for men, and if the two of them were sacrificed to the palace, they should be able to give birth to a prince. He should have said these words for himself, but Xiao Xiamo's sister has been in the palace for two years, and she has not given birth to a prince until now. If we can really bring a prince, then we can rest easy. ”
Yelu Yixin was silent, Xiao Delit seemed to see hope, and leaned closer and said: "Although whether you can give birth to a prince or not depends on the number of days, not on the body of a suitable man, but one more person is more certain, it is better than waiting now." ”
Yelu Yixin seemed to be touched, and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Delit, "I will let Zhang Xiaojie arrange this matter, you go and say hello to Xiao Ruli." ”
Xiao Deli was overjoyed, and said a good word to Yelu Yixin, and left in a hurry.
"I did it, but I didn't rush back to report the news, but discussed with others to sacrifice my daughter to the Son of Heaven." Xiao 13 turned to Yelu Yixin and said: "Xiao Ruli and Xiao Delite are cousins of the distant branch, or in-laws, if Xiao Ruli's two daughters really give birth to a prince, Xiao Delite may be even more arrogant." ”
Yelu Yixin's gaze followed Xiao Delet's back, and his eyes were cold, as cold as Sanjiu cold water. After a long time, he opened his mouth,
"Do you know the truth?" The Great Liao Wei King said softly.
Xiao 13 bowed and tilted his ears.
"My least favorite ...... It's the number of days. ”
