Unknowingly, in October, in the Yanjing City of Liao, the Tianci Emperor Yeluchun was seriously ill and dying, and he was no longer able to see things.

In the palace, Empress Xiao Puxian stood on the side, Yelu Dashi, and Xiao Gan, two important ministers, knelt on the futon.

"Ahem, cough, ahem,......" Ye Luchun got up half-lying down with a haggard face, "Give a seat to the two Aiqing." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them knelt for a long time, and they were not humble at this time, the time of the Tianci Emperor who was in a coma was getting longer and longer, and at this moment, the two of them had mixed tastes.

Last year, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was defeated by the Jurchens and fled to Jiashan, and the emperor Daliao was unexpectedly unexpectedly uncharged, after all, most of the territory still existed, and this foolish emperor abandoned the country.

In desperation, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi separately supported Yelu Chun to ascend the throne and descend to Emperor Tianzuo as the king of Huaiyin.

It is a pity that he has only been on the throne for only two months, and he has been crushed by the remnants of internal and external troubles.

At this moment, Ye Luchun's face was withered, and the two in front of him were the last reliance of Dalian.

Xiao Gan is a little chubby, born in the Xi clan, the queen's younger brother, and now the king of the four armies, the nominal supreme military commander of the Great Liao, in charge of the Khitan army, the Xi army, the Han army, and the Bohai navy.

Yelu Dashi's face is white, the scholar's face, is the eighth grandson of the founding emperor Yelu Abaoji, a Khitan noble, the only Khitan person who has been admitted to the Jinshi since the founding of the country, and finally a high school champion, known as Dashi Linya, Linya has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty Tong Guan Northern Expedition, even with civilian troops, and Xiao Gan joined forces to fight Tong Guan defeated.

No matter which dynasty it is placed in the Taiping season of Da Liao, any one of them is a capable minister who opens up the territory and expands the territory, and he has made brilliant feats through the ages, but in the last days, Da Liao has produced two rare talents in a row, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a disaster for Da Liao?

"My days are numbered......"

"Plop." Without thinking, the next two got up from the stool they had just sat down on and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is blessed!" ”

"Xiao Qing and Lin Ya are both ministers of the country, and I know by myself that when I was young, I fought too much, on the battlefield, I never lived behind, and the older I get, I will inevitably lose my blood and qi, and it will be difficult to get rid of the moment." Yelu Chun didn't say a word and almost gasped for a while, and the next Yelu Dashi couldn't help frowning.

"Lin Ya is gentle and calm, Xiao Qing is decisive, if the two of you work together to protect Da Liao, the state affairs will be difficult, but there may be a glimmer of life." After Ye Luchun said this, his eyes just stared at the two people below.

Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan kowtowed almost at the same time, "I will do my best for Da Liao and repay His Majesty's kindness with death." ”

Like, too similar, these two people speak the same language, although the etiquette has reached the extreme at the moment, but every move reveals a rare calmness, the slightest hint of flattery can not be smelled, neither humble nor arrogant, the image of the male lord is undoubtedly exposed, no matter where it is placed, it is a masterpiece of the world, no matter what I do after a hundred years......

"Okay, my body is getting worse day by day, I can no longer see things, I will give the power of the court to the queen, but after all, the queen rarely comes to the court, and one person will inevitably be powerless, Xiao Qing, Lin Ya, you two should do your best to assist the queen, in the last days, there are Jurchens in the north, Zhao Song in the south, and the slightest mistake is to break a certain Liao century-old national ancero......"

……

After leaving the palace, Xiao Gan just looked at Yelu Dashi and said, "Lin Ya, state affairs are like this, and you still need to work hard!" ”

"The king praised it falsely, he just tried his best, now the Song Division, the Jurchen north and south are attacking, I'm afraid if this is the case, it is difficult to have a chance of winning even in the heyday, I don't know what the king has to do?" Yelu Dashi was worried about state affairs, and he couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"These two sides are not easy to get along, but now we don't have many belongings, we can directly control Yanjing and Nanjing, which is close to the city on the left, and there are less than 50,000 people in armor, and I think that when I endure the anger for a while, send envoys to the two countries, say that peace is the best, and we will raise our vitality, and then settle accounts after the autumn, we need to know how to govern a big country like cooking Xiaoxian, and it is better to be patient for the time being......" Xiao Gan said heavily, he knows the soldiers, and now there are not many family backgrounds, he directly leads 20,000 Xi tribe troops, plus more than 10,000 Khitan armor soldiers under the command of Lin Ya, It's really hard to go against the sky.

"What the king said is that he is old and seeks the country, and he also thinks that it should be so, but he has something to ask for in the matter of the envoy." Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan stand side by side, in the end, the queen's daughter, according to the tradition of the founding of the Great Liao, although the queen is in power is not uncommon, but it can be peaceful for a long time, and now it is difficult to have the Empress Dowager Xiao Fengyi at the beginning of the country, and all matters in the court are not Xiao Gan and Dashi Linya decided in one word?

"What does Lin Ya have to say?"

"The Jurchen barbarians have always been hostile to our dynasty, a certain high degree of judgment, the probability of peace is not large, but the Southern Dynasty has always been weak, otherwise it would not have been pressed by us for a hundred years, the year has never been in short supply, coupled with the battle of Baigou River, it is expected that even if the Song people have morale, they also lack courage, so a certain personally wanted to envoy the Southern Dynasty." Yelu Dashi said eloquently, "Besides, Zhuoyi Erzhou is the barrier of Yanjing, and now it is guarded in the hands of Guo Yaoshi, and Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army is a Han person, although he has served Daliao for a long time, but at this time, it is inevitable that he will have different intentions, so I want to take this opportunity to deter again." ”

"Lin Ya works hard for state affairs, my generation is really ashamed, a certain one sits in Yanjing, you and I are one inside and one outside, the charm and the clown, there is no need to worry." Xiao Gan patted Yelu Dashi on the shoulder and smiled boldly.

"Without further ado, if the king agrees, hundreds of soldiers will be sent south tomorrow, and the king will also be asked to select officials from the Ministry of Rites to accompany him." Yelu Dashi said categorically, and Xiao Gan just kept nodding in agreement.

Both of them know that whoever leaves the center of Yanjing at this time is tantamount to withdrawing from the struggle for power, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi are two heroes in the last days, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, if they survive in the court again, what they are waiting for will inevitably end up with both defeats.

But Da Liao couldn't stand the toss anymore, and on this, Yelu Dashi first chose to back down......

Out of the palace gate, after sending away Xiao Gan, Yelu Dashi walked alone, not far from the house several pro-army guards quietly followed, Yelu Dashi just showed if not seen, at this time on Yanjing Avenue, pedestrians Xixi, the market is deserted, as soon as the night comes, it is a family closed. Many traders hoard goods and accumulate grain, prices are crazy long, everything is the scene of the end of the world, I still remember when I was young, the car was like a flowing water and a horse was like a dragon, and Yanjing at that time was still a city that never sleeps.

"King Xiao, I have already made concessions, I hope you don't have to lose Da Liao, lose Da Liao, ......"
