At this stage, the armies of the vassal and friendly nations are slowly starting to leave. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info let them come just to give the Great Song Dynasty a momentum, and at the same time let them see the military might of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now it seems that the purpose has been achieved. The cavalry of the Tibetan and Uighur troops were already very honest in the camp of the Song army, and they no longer had the previous arrogance, and when they saw the soldiers of the Song army, their eyes were full of fear and admiration, and they were as docile as a sheep.

In August of the third year of Huangyou, news came from Shangjing that Xiao Tali, who could not cope with the situation, actually put Yelu Hongji's two-year-old child on the throne as the acting emperor of Liao.

Xiao Tali is really imitating the Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan, hoping to turn the tide. But she is different from Xiao Yanyan, Xiao Yanyan assists her son because she has the help of Yelu Xianzhen and Han Derang.

There is a very good saying that behind a successful woman, there are always a few men who silently dedicate their lives. Especially Han Derang, his help is an indispensable condition for Xiao Yanyan to become a famous queen of a generation.

But Xiao Tatari can't do it now, everyone in the entire court is questioning the cause of Yelu Zongyuan's death, and there is only one Zhang Li in her hands who is loyal to her, and Zhang Li does not have enough ability to deter the courtiers in the hall.

Xiao Tali originally hoped that the two old ministers, Yelu Hanba and Hou Sha, would come out to help her calm the situation, after all, Hou Sha's granddaughter was Yelu Hongji's official queen, and the little emperor she raised was also Hou Sha's grandson.

However, Hou Sha and Yelu Hanba were actually the ones who challenged Xiao Tali the fastest, and the plan they proposed to Xiao Tatari was to let Yelu Gollum come to Beijing and make the right and wrong between them clear, and Xiao Tatari must explain the cause of Yelu Zongyuan's death.

Where can it be explained? Xiao Tali understands such conditions too well, these two people must already have a number in their hearts, let themselves explain, and just use a fair reason to force themselves to death.

Holding her two-year-old grandson in her arms, she sat in the dragon chair, looking at the aggressive ministers, and only now did she feel how vulnerable she really was.

Yelu Hanba said below: "Queen Mother, the minister has already made contact with Yelu Nie Gollum, and he proposed that if the Queen Mother allows him to bring troops to Beijing, he is willing to come and settle the matter with the Queen Mother." And Yelu Nie said very clearly, no matter what, you are the queen mother of Liao, and you used to be his mother, and he will not use a knife against you. ”

Xiao Ta Li didn't speak, and his arm around the child suddenly tightened. Yerune Gollum promised not to kill her, but there are many ways to live, one of which is called life is better than death, and Yerune Gollum will inevitably keep that method for herself.

Hou Sha also stepped forward: "Queen Mother, although the current situation is sinister, the Song army has not marched into Shangjing. As long as the 400,000 army of Yelu Gollu returns, as long as we Khitans are united, we can keep the grassland at the worst. ”

Hou Sun's words are all the thoughts of the ministers of the Liao State now, there is really no way to fight to this extent, but that piece of country was originally robbed by them, and now it should be returned to the Han people, and it is a big deal to live that kind of nomadic life in the future.

If the Khitans themselves are not united, and Yelu Negolu and Xiao Tatari continue to fight, they may not even have pastures.

Xiao Tali felt that he had nothing but the child in his hand: "Everyone, you are all ministers trusted by the former emperor, Hongji is now in the hands of the Song people, you don't think about how to let Hongji come back, but you want to welcome the rebellion of Yelu Neghulu, are you worthy of the first emperor?" ”

Yelu Han Bayi clenched his fists: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, we let Yelu Gollum come back, just to make the problem clear." As for your statement that he is a rebel, the old minister does not dare to agree. If Lao Jiu really had the intention to rebel, his army would have already been killed. None of us can stop him now. ”

Hou Xi echoed: "The old minister also thinks so. Lao Jiu just had doubts about Yelu Zongyuan's death. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, not only Lao Jiu, but also the ministers have a lot of doubts about this, and I hope the Queen Mother can make it clear. ”

As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, Xiao Tatar's hands trembled a little, if he really let Yelu Gollum come back to confront him, then everything would be over!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Zhang Li has already negotiated with the Song people in the Song Dynasty, and he can let the emperor return, can't you wait until the emperor comes back and let them settle the matter between themselves? Do you have to let me go out and discuss with Yelu Gollum and bow my head? I humiliated for the first time, where can you see your face? ”

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother of our Daliao, if you don't make a mistake, then Lao Jiu will have a trace of disrespect for you, the old minister fights for this old life, and he should also protect the Queen Mother!"

Xiao Tali's heart is now pulling out the cold, and she has finally understood one thing now, that is, all schemes must be protected by strong strength in order to proceed smoothly.

It's easy to deceive people, but when the other party doesn't believe you and doesn't give you a chance to speak, how can you deceive people? In the past, I had to listen to all these people what I said, so I could always fool them. Now when what you say is true or false, and the other party is unmoved, how can you deceive others?

No matter what Xiao Tatari said, these ministers of the Liao State had a mind to let Yelu Gollum come back.

This was more important to them than to bring Yeluhonki back. Yelu Hongji is just an emperor, and whoever has the ability of the emperor can do it, but Yelu Ne Gulu has 400,000 troops in his hands, and these 400,000 people can ensure that the remaining grassland of Liao still belongs to the Khitan.

Xiao Tali walked down the court with the child in her arms, and did not give any reply to these ministers, whether she agreed or opposed, she did not express her opinion.

Because she knew very well in her heart that when she lost the protection of imperial power, she was just a woman, and these unruly men would not let themselves control their fate.

Seeing Xiao Tali leave like this, the Khitan ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely shocked, and after looking at each other a few times, they all focused on Yelu Hanba and Hou Sun.

Hou Xi was also shocked by Xiao Tali's almost rude behavior, and hung the Manchu ministers in the court, and she left by herself, which is enough to show the anger in Xiao Tali's heart.

But it doesn't matter, they are only concerned about their own future now, as well as the future of the Khitan, as for what this woman feels, no one cares.

"Hou Sha, what do you think we should do next? This queen mother didn't issue a decree, didn't she really let Lao Jiu bring troops to call? ”

Yelu Hanba's old face could see his dissatisfaction with Xiao Tatar. Hou Xi smiled when he heard this: "Is it different if you don't make an order?" The emperor is gone, what else do you want to do with that holy decree? ”

Yelu Hanba very much agrees with his concept: "That's right. Then we will send someone to find Lao Jiu now and let him come back. ”

Xiao Tali, who retreated into the harem, kept holding the child in her arms, her spirit was suddenly a little trance, and at this moment, she thought of Liao Xingzong, the man who tied her hair.

Liao Xingzong can be said to be very good to her, when she was young, she was a collection of three thousand favors, and later even if those young women slowly pulled Liao Xingzong into their bed, she could still get enough respect.

Now that she thinks about it, her dissatisfaction with Liao Xingzong all comes from her own dissatisfaction. Xiao Tali hopes that his man can be successful in the world, and at the same time, he hopes that he can like him for the rest of his life. She wants to be the woman behind the successful man, but she looks forward to Xiao Yanyan's original martial arts.

These contradictions in her heart are destined to be dissatisfied, no matter how good Liao Xingzong does, she will be dissatisfied. When Liao Xingzong was alive, she felt that this man no longer mattered to her. But when he really came to this point and was facing embattlement, Xiao Tali was like an ordinary woman who had been wronged, hugging her grandson tightly, her eyes were red, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

She really felt that even if the man's body could be in front of her, it would be good to let herself hold it.

Xiao Suli knocked on the door outside: "Queen Mother, the minister has something to report to the Queen Mother." ”

Xiao Tali hurriedly controlled his emotions and put the child down from his lap: "Come in." ”

Now in a huge Liao country, there were so many ministers who said that they would be loyal to him, and the only one who could make Xiao Tatari completely believe in it was this younger brother.

"Empress Dowager, Zhang Li's negotiations are over, the Song army has not promised to release Hongji, and they and the Mongol cavalry have set off and are heading straight for Shangjing."

This is really not good news, the Song Dynasty did not release people, the war continued, and the last glimmer of hope in Xiao Tatari was shattered. Her tone trembled a little: "How did the ministers react?" ”

"This is sent by our cronies Kuaima, Zhang Li's letter has not come back yet, but it should be in the past two days, we have to prepare early."

Xiao Tali's hands were clenched together nervously, and his ten fingers interlaced each other: "What should I do?" If those people knew the news that the Song army was coming to attack Shangjing, they would have even more reason to let Yelu Gollum return. ”

Xiao Suli's eyes looked at Xiao Tali, as if he wanted to say something, but he was a little hesitant. This expression made Xiao Tatari smile bitterly: "Say whatever you want, what else can't you say at this time?" ”

Xiao Suli then spoke: "Queen Mother, the three people who are now presiding over the Song Army's affairs in Zhongjing are Wen Yanbo, Di Qing, and Chen Shimei. Look, can we find Chen Shimei? If he had been willing to let us go a little bit, our life would have been much better. ”

Xiao Tali pondered for a while, and then shook his head slightly: "Impossible, Chen Shimei can't give us a chance." ”

Xiao Suli leaned forward: "It's good to try, he won't talk about it at all." Now our situation is not good, if things get to the worst, even if it is for the sake of the princess's face, he should give us a way to live. ”

Xiao Tali realized that what his younger brother was looking for was not Da Liao's way of life, but his own way of life. Isn't there really no hope now? Even he had to find another way out.

"Okay, then you send someone to see, remember, not in my name."

Xiao Suli nodded: "Yes." ”
