Chapter 193: Bureau (2)
"Exactly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Yelu Gong laughed.
The other members of the royal family nodded one after another, and they all felt that this matter was just a matter of effortless to win the Empress Dowager Xiao, and they couldn't help but smile.
"Then let's send someone to keep an eye on the palace carefully, once someone enters and exits abnormally, it must be Xiao Xuan who plans to escape." Yeluqi said.
"That's wonderful, then I'll go outside the city first to gather our 100,000 troops, ready to besiege Xiao Xuan at any time." Jerulai also said.
"Go, after this battle, there will be no more Xiao Xuan in Liao, and the matter of Sichen will no longer exist, and you and I will be the heroes of Liao." Yelu Gong finally concluded.
A cadre of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and happily took the order, and that night, the night of the Liao Kingdom seemed to suddenly be cold.
In the second half of the night, the small door on the west side of the Liao Imperial Palace, which had always been tightly closed, creaked open, and a sedan chair carried by four people came out of it, and the sedan chair was surrounded by more than a dozen female guards.
After the sedan chair came out, he glanced left and right, and when he found that there was no one, he went straight to the west city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, the sedan chair was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, and then a pair of beautiful jade hands stretched out from the sedan chair, and the token in the hand was lit up.
Seeing that it was the queen mother's token, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to stop it, so they opened the city gate and let the sedan chair leave.
When the faint torches in the distance were no longer visible, a certain soldier guarding the city suddenly slipped away quietly and came to the mansion of Yelu Palace.
"Lord, there is a sedan chair in the palace that is out of the city."
Yelu Gong sat up from the bed abruptly and laughed: "Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan, after all, the old man is still a good chess player!" ā
Yelu Gong then ordered: "Order Yelu to come, let him quickly mobilize 30,000 troops, and ambush in the Huoyun Valley sixty miles west of Linhuang City, and be sure to take down the sedan chair, remember, until the last resort, you must not damage anything in the sedan chair, as for the people...... Lawfully kill on sight. ā
The retinue received the order and immediately went out of the city in the starry night, and Yelulai had been waiting for a long time, and when he received the order, he immediately divided 30,000 out of the 100,000 troops and went straight to the west of Linhuang City.
In the mansion of Yelu Palace, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply got dressed and got up, walking back and forth in the study, looking a little nervous.
About an hour later, while the palace was waiting, another defender came to report that a sedan chair carrying the emperor's token went out of the city and headed north.
Yelugong was shocked, then breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "This must be Xiao Xuan's suspicious plan, you and give the order, let Yeluqi lead 30,000 horses, rush to the wind mountain thirty miles north to assemble, be sure to stop this sedan chair, if they change lanes in the middle, let Yeluqi not care, kill the people inside first." ā
"Yes."
The city defenders retreated, but Yelu Palace's brows were furrowed, and he faintly felt that his arrangement seemed to be a little hasty, but thinking that Empress Dowager Xiao only had 30,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, and she couldn't make any waves, his eyebrows slowly eased.
On the side of the Liao Palace, after a while, another sedan chair came out, this sedan chair is different from the previous two, the luxurious one is simply not like words, it is actually the phoenix of the Empress Dowager Xiao's special trip.
Feng drove out of the palace, and went straight to the south city gate, and the city guards at the south gate still did not dare to stop it, because the people in the phoenix took out a token, which was the token of the second prince Yelu Longqing.
When this news reached Yelu Palace's ears, he was directly angry and angry, and scolded in the house: "What a cunning Xiao Xuan, the old man wants to see what the old man's 100,000 army can do with such a trick." ā
Immediately, Yelu Palace ordered another 20,000 troops to ambush Feng Yu outside the poplar forest in the south.
However, a palanquin soon came out of the palace again, as if it was competing with the Yelu Palace.
About half an hour later, when the sky was about to dawn, a sedan chair left the palace, exited the east gate, and disappeared into the vast night.
Hearing the report of the guards at the East City Gate, Yelu Gong was so angry that he almost smashed his favorite inkstone, and his face turned dark.
He had the intention to directly send a large army to flood the sedan chair, but if he really did so, he would not be able to escape from the crime of rebellion, and Xiao Xuan had been in power for many years and had quite a prestige among the people, and Yelu Palace was also worried about causing public anger.
In desperation, he had to send 10,000 men again to ambush the sedan chair twenty miles outside the east city gate.
As for the remaining 10,000 Liao troops, the order given to them by Yelu Palace was to guard the camp and guard against any disturbances.
Time passed minute by minute, and Yelu Palace was sitting on pins and needles in the study, for fear that Empress Dowager Xiao would escape, so she could only keep sending people to inquire about the news.
The sky was getting brighter, and the sun poked its head out on the distant hills, illuminating Linhuang City.
In Linhuang City today, it was silent and terrible, no minister rushed to the court, and no one in the palace was sent to urge, maintaining a strange balance.
The ministers all know that Empress Dowager Xiao escaped last night by taking advantage of the night, and it is unknown whether she escaped or not.
This silence was noticed even by ordinary people, because the doors of almost all the officials and nobles were closed, and the domestic servants who usually went out to buy did not come out.
The palace of Yelu Palace, from early in the morning, became lively, and countless officials came to him to greet him, in fact, just to appease him.
According to the opinion of Liao officials, the Empress Dowager Xiao is in a catastrophe this time, Yelu Palace, as the highest-ranking royal family member of the Liao State, after the Empress Dowager Xiao steps down, she is bound to become the new auxiliary minister, and her majesty is unparalleled for a while.
Even if Yelu Gong is more ambitious, he can even try to change the dynasty and become the emperor himself, which is nothing more than more troublesome and riskier.
After all, if he wants to be the emperor, he may not necessarily get everyone's support like driving the Empress Dowager Xiao from power.
The best thing about Yelu Palace is this one, in the face of everyone's flattery, one of his old faces almost cramped with laughter.
And in the Huoyun Valley to the west of Linhuang City, Yelulai led the ambushed army and finally waited for the sedan chair.
With Yelulai's order, the 30,000 army rushed out from all around the Huoyun Valley and directly surrounded the sedan chair.
Yelulai couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Xuan, don't get out and get poked in the neck!" ā
A coquettish chuckle came from the sedan chair: "Lord, this palace has something to tell you, it is related to the future of the Liao Kingdom, do you dare to enter the sedan chair?" ā
When Yelulai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion, it can be said that in this Liao country, there is no man who does not want to press the Empress Dowager Xiao under him, and he is no exception.
