The palace of the emperor of Liao State in Linhuang Mansion has always been a door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although info is located in a prosperous area, there are no hot dignitaries in the court to visit, which shows how unpopular Yelu Chongyuan is.

It is precisely because of this that Yelu Hongji has never been suspicious of Yelu Chongyuan, but has always been favored. Otherwise, with Yelu Hongji's suspicious temperament, Yelu Chongyuan would have been killed by all kinds of trumped-up charges, where would they be allowed to jump like this? No, if you come back from losing the battle, if you change to someone else, you will inevitably be deprived of military power and go to prison. Their father and son were unscathed, and Yelu Hongji not only did not punish him, but even spent a lot of money in exchange for many generals including Yelu Nerugu. It can be said that benevolence is the end of righteousness, and the saints are prosperous.

At this moment, before the sun was sinking and dusk was approaching, the imperial uncle's mansion suddenly opened, and there were two horses led out by a house slave, and a large carriage, which was wrapped in extremely beautiful gifts. Afterwards, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Nerugu walked out of the palace. After turning over and getting on the horse, he galloped away somewhere in Shangjing.

On horseback, Jerenerugu asked with some uneasiness, "Father, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Xiao Hu's house." Yelu Chongyuan said expressionlessly.

Yelu Nerugu didn't know anything about the ministers of the court, and asked, "Who is Xiao Hujian?" ”

"Privy Counsellor of the Northern Court."

Yelu Nerugu understands a little, they are the dignitaries of the Yelu family, and they are also a faction of the military, and the people they want to make friends with are naturally figures in the army. If you want to make friends with civil officials, you have to start from the north and south courts, and the best thing is to make friends with privy envoys. However, it is too direct, and I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Yeluhongki. It's okay to take a step back and make friends with a privy deputy.

"Father, can this Xiao Hujian really be wooed?" Yelu Nerugu was a little worried, although Yelu Hongji was not wary of them, but he had been sending them to suppress the Jurchens before, which could be regarded as an instinctive defense. This had to worry Jerunerugu, after all, it was a rebellion, and the more people knew about it, the more secret it became.

Yelu Chongyuan seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, smiling and not speaking, but thinking in his heart: "Since Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, this Xiao Hu has served as the privy deputy envoy of the Northern and Southern Courts, and the representative brother Shuzhe has served as the envoy of the Northwest Road, which can be regarded as a step to the sky. But he was not satisfied and wanted to move up the next level. Previously, Xiao Ge and Xiao Araa were both privy envoys, and the two were not in harmony, and it was known to the whole dynasty that Xiao Ge was too jealous because of Shuzhe's favorite person. After being appointed by Hu Jian, Shuzhe went to Beijing, and had borrowed corn from the government before, but did not return it later. Hu saw Xiao Ge's intentions and reported it, and Shuzhe was convicted and dismissed. Such a person must be a person who is greedy for power. I'm not afraid that you don't have shortcomings, but I have shortcomings and I can control them better! ”

Suddenly, Yelu Chongyuan opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Hujian is the privy deputy envoy of the Northern Court, and Yelu Yixin is the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and the rumors of their discord have been going on for a long time. ”

Yelu Nerugu suddenly understood: "Father means that Yelu Yixin's enemies are our allies?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan nodded, if you don't understand such a simple truth, what kind of rebellion! With this relationship, it is logical for Yelu Chongyuan to visit Xiao Hujian. In fact, the Manchu Dynasty knew that there was another thing about Xiao Hujian's personality. Xiao Hujian's clan brother Enemy Lie served as Beike, and recommended his uncle to Xiao Hujian to stabilize Xiao Hudu, and Xiao Hujian saw that he was quick and fluent in speech, and strong and brave, so he befriended him wholeheartedly. Every time he was on vacation, he always talked all day long, and the Manchu civil and military people felt strange. On the occasion of Xiao Hujian's appointment as the privy councillor of the Tongzhi North Yuan, Yelu Hongji said that Hu Du and the enemy martyrs could be reused, and Yelu Hongji appointed the enemy martyrs as the commander of the army and Hu Du as the official of the Su Dynasty. When the privy envoy Xiao Ge framed his brother Xiao Ara, Xiao Hudu secretly assisted him and joined forces to put Xiao Ala to death. After the news got out, such a despicable person was shamed by the world, and Xiao Hujian became synonymous with traitorous ministers.

Very similar to Yelu Chongyuan's father and son, they are not likable courtiers, and can even be called traitors. If they are hugged together, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will not be suspicious. It's just that I will be secretly vigilant in my heart, and don't be calculated by them.

In front of Xiao Hujian's mansion, they stopped. Knowing that the imperial uncle came to visit, Xiao Hujian was full of suspicions. didn't think much about it, so he personally came out to greet him: "Why is the imperial uncle so free to come to the Xiaguan Humble House today, it is really a blessing for three lives, and it is full of brilliance!" ”

Yelu Chongyuan got off the horse, handed the horse to Xiao Hujian's house slave, and said: "This king has been friends with Brother Xiao for a long time, and he only hates that he has been in the northeast and cannot see each other. When I saw it today, the adults were really heroic, and they lived up to their reputation! When Jerunerugu saw this nonsense face, he almost couldn't help laughing. This Xiao Hujian's eyes are not only squinting severely, but also full of curly hair, which is also heroic, it is simply blind. However, Xiao Hujian's burly figure is not fake, and his heroic posture can barely be regarded as good. It's just that among the Khitans, Xiao Hujian doesn't necessarily have much fitness, just ordinary.

Yelu Chongyuan glared at Yelu Nerugu, and then said with a smile: "This king has a little courtesy, and I hope that Brother Xiao will accept it with a smile!" Signaling the house slave to move the gift to the house, Xiao Hu's eyes lit up, Yelu Chongyuan saw this detail in his eyes, and knew that he was a greedy person for money and power, and his heart said that this matter had become most of it.

Xiao Hu said pretendedly: "Uncle Huang came to the official cold house, he can't ask for it, why do you have to prepare a gift, how embarrassing is this?" ”

"It's just a small courtesy, a small meaning. What's the matter, didn't Brother Xiao invite us in and sit down? Yelu Chongyuan said slowly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Hujian hurriedly protected his chest with his hand and said, "Uncle Huangtai, the prince, please inside!" ”

The three of them came to the main hall, and after ordering the house slaves to serve fragrant tea, they ordered the house slaves not to come any closer. Xiao Hu saw that there was no one around, and said tentatively: "Uncle Huang is here, but what do you want to help?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan said with a smile: "I just want to get to know Brother Xiao, and I have no other plans." ”

Xiao Hujian absolutely does not believe this statement. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, how can Yelu Chongyuan spend money and money, but just to get to know him? However, Xiao Hujian's mind turned very quickly, thinking of the dispute between Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin in today's Kaihuang Palace, he knew the meaning of Yelu Chongyuan.

Xiao Hujian was very dissatisfied with Yelu Yixin, thinking that he, the boss, would not know anything, but he could rise to a high position with Yelu Hongji's love. He has such a talent, and he has to submit to it, how can he be convinced in his heart? On weekdays, it has always been yang and yin, and whenever he encounters tricky things, he excuses himself and says that he can't do it, so let Yelu Yixin do it. After a long time, the relationship between the two became bad. Fortunately, although Yelu Yixin is in the middle of the holy family, he can't cover the sky with one hand in the North Courtyard, not to mention that Xiao Hujian is only half a level lower than Yelu Yixin, so there is no need to be afraid of him at all.

Over time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understood that the two principals of the North Courtyard were not in harmony. Gradually, Xiao Hujian also had the heart to replace him. However, he has no power to cling to the central government, and Yelu Yixin took the first step to tie up Yelu Hongji, no matter how you look at it, he has no chance of winning. But today, the imperial uncle sent him to the door, is he going to borrow his might? Xiao Hujian weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and his thoughts were one after another, and his mind was spinning quickly. (To be continued.) )
