Chen Yuan picked up the brush and wrote his name on the agreement signed by the two parties with Chen Shimei's beautiful handwriting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Emperor Suzaku was only at this time relieved, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "I don't know if I have time tonight?" In the evening, I will hold a banquet here, and if I can, I invite you and the generals to come and admire your faces. ”

Chen Yuan has never been interested in such a banquet, and was about to say no, when he heard it again: "Liangzi is obsessed with Lord Chen's demeanor, if Lord Chen has nothing to do tonight, Liangzi wants to invite Lord Chen to spend the night in our palace." ”

The rejection that came to his lips was swallowed by Chen Yuan, so Princess Dongying missed her style? Didn't the last binding technique be very professional, so that she had **? No matter what the reason was, Chen Yuan also wanted to do it again, and said at the moment: "Yes, yes, of course I have time, but my generals can't, they still have something to do." Your Majesty the Emperor, don't worry, I'll go back and get ready, and I'll definitely come to the banquet in the evening. ”

Emperor Suzaku was also very happy, really, he had a feeling of escaping death.

Chen Yuan returned to the barracks after signing the agreement that he didn't want to sign, but he was very surprised to see that Song Qi had also returned, he knew that something big must have happened.

When Song Qi left, Chen Yuan told him that he didn't have to come back when he returned to Bianjing, because this trip could only be done to this extent, and the army was about to withdraw, Song Qi really didn't need to run again, and even if he wanted to run again, he could come back with Ji Xin, there was no reason for him to come alone when he was leaving.

Sure enough, when Song Qi saw Chen Yuan coming back, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Chen Yuan's arm: "Shimei, something is wrong!" ”

Chen Yuan was a little apprehensive in his heart: "What is it?" ”

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Song Qi, only to hear him say: "The Emperor of Liao is dead!" ”

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and he almost doubted his ears: "You say it again?" ”

This time, Song Qi said in a more firm voice: "The emperor of the Liao State, Yeluzong, is really dead!" ”

This is really a big deal, Chen Yuan pressed Song Qi on the chair: "What's the matter?" How did he die? ”

Song Qi let Chen Yuan's hands clasp his shoulders tightly: "Three months ago, Yelu Zongzhen was really preparing to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, and he mobilized all the troops, but when he was inspecting the troops, he accidentally fell off his horse, and the Liao people didn't say anything at that time. Our Great Song Dynasty did not receive a funeral messenger from the Liao State at all, and it was not until half a month ago that the Liao State envoy came to inform the Great Song Dynasty, saying that the emperor of the Liao State had died two months ago, and now the new Emperor Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne, and we only knew about it after the routine notification of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chen Yuan's upper hand let go of Song Qi and slapped it violently: "I said, why hasn't there been any movement in this Liao Kingdom during this time!" Their news is strictly blocked, so we have lost a good opportunity in vain! ”

Di Qing and the others also felt a little happy in their hearts. Happily, Liao Xingzong died, this guy added no less pain to the Song people than any emperor of the Liao State, I heard that he fell to his death from a horse, it really made people feel relieved.

It's a pity that if the Song Dynasty had gotten this news earlier, there would have been a lot of articles to do.

Di Qing slammed the pillar of the roof beam: "There are so many people at the border, so many ministers in the imperial court, we have countless secret agents in Liao, why do you know that we have only received the news now!" ”

He was scratching, but when Chen Yuan heard him say this, the inspiration seemed to capture something, and Liu Ping was about to open his mouth when Chen Yuan interrupted: "Wait a minute, don't speak, let me think about it." ”

He walked back and forth in the room, pondering the whole process, as if talking to himself, as if discussing with others, and whispered: "I fell to my death two months ago, why don't you mourn?" Are you afraid that our army will fight them? ”

No one spoke, everyone's eyes were looking at Chen Yuan, only to hear him continue after a while: "Impossible, the Liao State has prepared its army, and it is impossible for them to be afraid of war. Why didn't our agents hear the information? If the Liao State held a funeral for Liao Xingzong, no matter how covert it was, we would receive rumors, unless all our spies were captured by them, which was even more impossible. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's footsteps slowed down slowly, and finally stood in the middle of the room, he raised his head and glanced around: "I'm sure that there is infighting in Liao!" ”

Di Qing looked at Song Qi, and Song Qi shook his head and said that he had not received the news.

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that only such an explanation could make him understand that Liao Xingzong was dead, and why Yelu Hongji did not announce the news until two months after the Liao State ascended the throne!

His hand touched his chin, and his head was little by little: "It's no one else who blocked this news, it was that Xiao Tali who did it!" She did not deliberately block the news from the Great Song Dynasty, but from Yelu Zongyuan. ”

Liao Xingzong did not appoint Yelu Hongji as the crown prince until his death, which everyone knew, including the people of the Song Dynasty.

Song Qi opened his mouth and said, "You mean, there was a dispute between the Liao people for the crown prince?" ”

Chen Yuan looked at Liu Ping: "Liu Ping, do you remember the time I came back from the party?" When we borrowed it to Liao, we had already negotiated with Yelu Zongyuan and his son, and we gave him some support, and he rose up to rebel. ”

Liu Ping nodded: "Yes, I also knew that we cooperated very happily at the beginning, but Yelu Zongyuan suddenly changed his hexagram and always found various reasons to perfunctory us." ”

Chen Yuan's finger clicked: "I'm sure that it was at that time that Liao Xingzong and Yelu Zongyuan reached an agreement, and this agreement gave Yelu Zongyuan new hope, so he repented." Because it was from that time that Yelu Zongyuan changed his attitude, and he was very supportive of the reform of Liao Xingzong. ”

Song Qi felt that what Chen Yuan said made some sense, but he still didn't believe that Liao Xingzong would not pass on the position to his son: "Perhaps, Yelu Zong really issued an edict before he died?" ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Even if the edict is really issued, Yelu Zongyuan thinks it is fake, so for Xiao Tali, if he wants his son to inherit the throne, there is only one way, which is to hide the death of Liao Xingzong, let Yelu Hongji bring the troops back first, and then take the throne first but get the orthodox position." ”

Song Qi didn't say anything, and looked at Chen Yuan with his eyes, as if he wanted Chen Yuan to give him a more reasonable explanation. Chen Yuan looked at his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Lord Song, I have been in Dongying, I know less than you know, these are just my guesses, as for what is going on, I don't know." ”

Di Qing immediately asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Chen Yuan pointed his finger at Kyoto, which he had just walked out: "No matter what the situation of Liao State is now, if Liao Xingzong leaves like this, even if there is no internal strife, Yelu Hongji and Yelu Zongyuan will inevitably mention each other." They will not be able to launch a powerful offensive in the short term, our biggest threat is no longer there, and there is no need to take a few more steps in the affairs of Dongying and Goryeo. ”

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yuan's hand waved in the air: "Tonight, I want to kill people, kill many people." Now the powerful people in Dongying are basically in Kyoto, as long as I kill these people and leave the rest to Ji Xin, I will give him 20,000 troops, and he will be able to help me deal with the entire Dongying within a year. ”

Song Qi really couldn't accept this proposal: "Shimei, you just signed a contract with them, isn't it a bit untrustworthy like this?" As I said, your actions are so big, those officials in the court will not let you go, and those vassal states will inevitably ask the emperor to condemn your crimes. ”

Chen Yuan showed a grim smile: "Tell the soldiers, just say that the Dongying people have repented, and they plan to organize a sneak attack on our military camp at night." Rest assured, no one will know the truth, because those who have access to the negotiation will die. ”

Song Qi jumped up violently: "Shimei, you are doing this too much!" ”

Chen Yuan looked at him: "It's my business to be excessive, I'll go back and explain to Banzai, I just want to know now, which of you is willing to help me?" ”

Those old subordinates who followed Chen Yuan stood up first, Di Qing looked at his subordinates Zhang Zhong and the others who were also eager to try, and said at the moment: "The emperor's secret decree to me is very clear, and my people who come to Dongying will obey your arrangement." ”

That Zhu Yuhu also nodded: "Well, the secret decree given to me by the emperor also said so, Master Horse, we will listen to you if you say so." ”

In the end, it was Song Qi, Chen Yuan looked at Song Qi with a smile, Song Qi's face changed a few times, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, since you all said yes, then if something happens, it's a big deal that we can carry it together." ”

Chen Yuan straightened his waist: "Liu Ping, at night, your troops rushed into the city, remember, first go to their palace to search for the emperor, and then get the roster of all the Dongying officials who are now in Bianjing, and arrest people according to the roster, no one is missing, I would rather kill by mistake." ”

Liu Ping clenched his fists: "Yes!" ”

Chen Yuan continued: "After tonight, your troops don't have to go back, you are here to assist Ji Xin and help him stabilize the situation in the entire Dongying. Brother Di Qing, don't go to Hejian Mansion either, let General Zhu Yuhu be responsible for helping you send troops far away tomorrow to deal with those Dongying people in the territory of Goryeo, remember, use them to consume the strength of the Goryeo people as much as possible. If the emperor's secret decree is not reached, you should not come back. ”

Dongying and Goryeo's problem came full circle, and finally returned to the solution that Chen Yuan had envisioned at the beginning, and things changed so suddenly. It's all because of that Liao country, what happened to Liao country? What is the situation in Liao now?

Chen Yuan wanted to know very much, and he finally said: "I'm going to Yanjing, Yelu Zongzhen can really count me as an old man, and now that he is dead, I should go to the funeral." Kill people tonight, and I'll leave after I've killed people. ”
