The night passed, Guo Wuwei didn't close his eyes, some of the white hair on his head was trembling, as if there were some vicissitudes in the candle flame, the candle flame had been burning for a long time, and it had long been extinguished, but he had been sitting on the couch in a daze, and the whole person was sitting in the dark night.

He thought about what had happened tonight and felt a little incredible.

Guo Wuwei said in his heart: The troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have lasted for too long, and the vitality of Kyushu is almost exhausted, this period of time is not only the decades of several dynasties and generations after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, but also the competition today has gradually entered the journey, and it must not be interrupted.

At this moment, the dawn has fallen, and the world outside the house is also the sound of chirping birds. Guo Wuwei's heart was surging, he seemed to see the huge waves of the East China Sea, the horses in the north, the goshawks in the western borderlands, and the mountains and rivers in the south.

At this moment, there is a knock on the door.

"Daddy, are you awake?" This person is Guo Wuwei's son Guo Qiyun, who is now eighteen years old, and then he said, "An old beggar at the door handed the child a letter, saying that it was for your father." ”

"Don't say anything, just leave the letter at the door." Guo Wuwei said as he got up and walked down from the couch, and then arrived at the door.

He immediately picked up the letter from the ground and read it at the door.

Guo Wuwei probably knows the content of the letter. This letter was brought to him by the group of men in black yesterday, and the letter stated some interests, "I came from the Great Song Dynasty, and I have a close relationship with the official family." Guo Wuwei judged these points from the letter.

Immediately, Guo Wuwei lit the candle, and the letter had turned to ashes in the firelight and drifted away with the wind.

Soon after, he instructed the maid to bring toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial cleanser and other things, and he planned to enter the palace to see Liu Jun.

Guo Wuwei didn't know, in fact, Liu Jun didn't sleep all night last night, and he had fallen asleep this morning under the service of the inner servant.

When Guo Wuwei went to see him, Wei Degui, the head of the inner chamberlain, glanced at him, his expression was a little complicated, Guo Wuwei saw that Liu Jun had fallen asleep, so he had to wait in the side hall

In the north, the weather in October is a little cold, and a drizzle last night caused a layer of water stains to accumulate on the ground, and now although the sun has risen, there is still a thin layer of mist in the air, as if it cannot be dispersed.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, coming towards the Youdu Mansion.

A middle-aged Khitan military general rode a horse from the distant street, and when he arrived not far from the vicinity of the Youdu Mansion, he dismounted and led the horse to the gate of the mansion.

A Han military general at the door saw that person and arched his hand and said, "I've seen Xiao stay behind." ”

That Khitan general was Xiao Siwen, his high cheekbones were full of worry, a black ferret hat on his head looked a little dark because of some dew, and his thin face also had a helpless smile.

"If you are tired, take good care of this horse."

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells from behind, and I saw a young girl wearing a Khitan man-style robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves riding a sturdy white dragon horse from a distance.

This white dragon horse is a good horse, which can travel a thousand times a day and eight hundred at night, and there is not a single miscellaneous hair on the horse's body, and the Mauser is as soft as silk and as white as snow.

Xiao Siwen looked at the long-standing girl in the distance, and asked, "Yanyan, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Yanyan muttered and said: "Yan Yan saw that Ye Ye came from Shangjing, and she was waiting for Ye Ye in the Youdu Mansion, if it wasn't for Ye Ye's guards A and B to inform her, her daughter wouldn't know?" ”

"Yanyan, you go back to the house first, Ye Ye has the opportunity to discuss military affairs with the generals today, and today Shangjing is staying in Gao and staying behind." Xiao Siwen has just come from the north, and today he plans to discuss military and political affairs in the Youdu Mansion, and now the war situation in the north is eroding, and the Great Song Dynasty in the south has successively wiped out the Tang and Han Dynasty, and Xiao Siwen is stationed in the Youdu Mansion to feel the threat from the south, and he is most worried that the Great Song Kingdom has no worries, so he directly aimed the spearhead at the two countries in the north.

"Yes." Xiao Yanyan turned the horse's head, the sound of the horse's hooves was endless, and walked towards Xiao Mansion, although she was a woman, she also knew what Xiao Siwen was worried about, but since returning to Youdu Mansion from Kaifeng, Xiao Yanyan's heart often remembered Zhao Zhao in Kaifeng City.

"I wonder how he's doing?" Xiao Yanyan is two years younger than Zhao Dezhao, according to the customs of the Han people, she is already in the age of Lu, according to the habits of the Han people, she has reached the age of talking about marriage.

"But he is from the Song Dynasty, and I am from the Great Liao Khitan, how should I deal with myself in the future?" Xiao Yanyan remembered her attitude, and she shook her head suddenly.

"I am a Khitan, not a Han Chinese, and the words of my parents are not useful to my children on the grassland. But did he marry and have children? ”

Over there, Xiao Siwen turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Xiao Siwen stayed in the Youdu Mansion and has been paying attention to what happened in the Song State of the Southern Dynasty and the Khitan country, just because of the civil strife in Liao, the Liao Emperor Yelujing also had to send additional troops to the Wuku Department, Goryeo, etc., after these several times, a delicate relationship is also taking place in the Liao State, and Xiao Siwen, who was guarding the Youdu Mansion, sighed, they could have taken advantage of the Southern Dynasty to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately Xiao Siwen's proposal to send troops was rejected.

The hall of the government was already crowded with the generals guarding the Youdu Mansion, including some Khitan generals and Han generals in the north and south courts.

Since Yeluxian was inexplicably poisoned to death, the woman joined the army, he felt that the person who killed his master Yeluxian must be the current Liao emperor Yelujing, since Yelujing ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his throne, Yelujing killed countless children of the Khitan royal family, which the woman knows very well.

However, although Yeluxian died, he also had a half-brother, and Yeluxian did not.

Some time ago, Yelu only did not have an affair with the palace people in the palace, Yelu Jing was furious when he heard it, plundered hundreds, and stabbed a glance but did not carry out the palace punishment...... Jerod has lived a cautious life ever since.

…… As for others such as Yelu Wuzhi and Yelu Xianshi, although they did not say it on their lips, but in their hearts they were also not satisfied with today's Yelu Jing, since Yelu Jing ascended the throne in the past few years, everyone has lived in his prostitution in trepidation. Under the Authority...... However, what is being discussed today is the military defense of Youdu Mansion, and all the generals are arranging it.

Xiao Siwen saw that everyone was standing on both sides, and everyone's hearts seemed to be preoccupied, so he said: "Since the Song Dynasty has pacified the south, our Liao and Song countries have started from Nigukou in the east, and the Xin'an Army, Bazhou, and Rongcheng in the west along the Juma River Valley are the national boundaries. But if one day suddenly Liao and Song suddenly go to war, this secluded capital is the first to bear it, and the sorghum river in the suburbs will also become the main battlefield in the future, I don't know what you think? ”

In the queue, the woman said directly: "Did Xiao stay behind overestimate the strength of the Song army, although his south has almost been pacified, but I have a large number of generals and cavalry, how can this Great Song Dynasty go north all of a sudden?" And right now, the Song Kingdom is not going north? ”

"Xiao Liushou is also worried that since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been adhering to the legacy of Zhou Shizong, and now most of the Jiangnan are subservient to the Great Song Dynasty, and all ethnic groups in the northwest are also looking forward to the Song Dynasty." The person who spoke was Gao Xun who stayed in Beijing, he was a Han man, and he was also the privy envoy of the Southern Privy Council, the commander-in-chief of the Han military, and was named the king of Zhao in the early years of the calendar.

He saw that all the generals frowned, and he said: "If the Great Song Dynasty goes north in the future, now the first thing in my Youdu Mansion is to defend, you should know that there are many empty spaces and silt land in the suburbs of this Youdu Mansion, it is better to dredge those low-lying places to grow rice, so that you can also enrich the grain and grass warehouse of my Youdu Mansion." ”

Gao Xun proposed this rice method, so that Lin Xie (Lin Ya) Yelu Kun has a little puzzled, he has always been a little disgusted with the Han people, Gao Xun is the (later) Jin Beiping King Gao Xintao's son, and later surrendered to the Liao State, and Gao Xun is a high power, is Yelu Jing's henchman, so he has to be guarded, at this moment he asked rhetorically: "Gao Shuxiang, there are many gaps in the suburbs of Youdu Mansion, but what if these grains and grass are obtained by the Song army?" And assuming that Beijing rebelled, how could the officials and soldiers enter by themselves? ”

Gao Xun smiled, "Lin Ya is too ...... to think about it."

“……”

One of Yelu Jing's intentions is to let them stay in the Youdu Mansion and not act rashly, because Xiao Siwen and they are not good at making decisions without permission.

…… In the end, they didn't have a good solution.

Ps. Hypothesis

(1) In history, Gao Xun participated in the actions of Xiao Siwen, Han Kuangsi, Nuli, Yeluxian and others to kill Mu Zong, but after Jingzong ascended the throne, the political alliance was also split into two parties of the emperor and queen because of the success of the coup, and the two parties launched a fierce struggle for the ruling power. After that, Empress Xiao used the power of Han Kuanghei's family to kill Gao Xun, Nuli and others, so that Jingzong lost his reliance, and the power finally fell into the hands of Empress Xiao.

(2) Gao Xun participated in Jingzong's conspiracy to kill Muzong's group. Therefore, "Jingzong ascended the throne to make a decision and enter Wang Qin." After Jingzong ascended the throne, his group immediately divided into two parties, the emperor and the queen, of which the members of the imperial party included Gao Xun and Nuli, and the members of the latter party included Xiao Siwen, Han Kuangsi's family and Yelu Xianshi. Because Xiao Siwen was Empress Xiao's father and a core member of the power-seizing group, he was immediately appointed as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and then the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, which was actually a last resort by Jingzong.
