Seeing Yue Li's anxious appearance, Wang immediately understood: Yue Li had cooperated with him to arrest Nan Jifeng in Chenzhou; Yue Li and He Libo also knew each other, thinking of this, the king frowned, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Yue, for the letter reminder." ”

Yue Li hurriedly waved his hand, he had a very good impression of Wang Bei, since he entered the official career, he has been supported by the prime minister, Wang is the prime minister's righteous son and he also has a lot of friendship, and he also wants to help: "How to worry about it." ”

Wang Jian was even more confirmed that the letter sent to He Libo was from Yue Li's hand, and thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "I want to ask Brother Yue how he knew about this." ”

Yue Li sighed and said: "Some time ago, a classmate of mine passed through here, and the two of us drank a few more glasses as soon as we were happy, and he told me one thing, saying that he had intercepted several letters of correspondence between the Liao State and the Song State, and one of them he showed me, it was sent to He Libo, which said that there was something at home, and he should return quickly. ”

Yue Li took a sip of water and continued: "At that time, I was just surprised that this ordinary letter was from home, who knew that my classmate said that this was not ordinary, the person who sent the letter was called Yan Impeacher, this person was a Jurchen, a general under Yelu Zongyuan, and then he asked me Do you know who this letter is for." ”

This question must have been thought of by the king, when He Libo told himself, he heard Yue Li continue: "Of course I don't know who this letter is for, so I asked him, he said that it was for a right-hand man next to Wang Shilang, called He Libo, I thought of you at that time, so I asked him, he said this Wang Shilang, but Wang Ruowu next to the king, the righteous son of Prime Minister Bao." ”

Yue Li said, looked at the king, the king smiled as if this matter had nothing to do with him, this king was really calm, Yue Li couldn't help but admire a little in his heart,

He said: It is the king, if this news is told to the prince, it must be a great achievement, I wonder what is the great thing about a family letter, and now there is no war in Song Liao, my classmate told me that there is no big deal, but Yelu Zongyuan's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and the number of recruits has exceeded the normal defense, and the impeacher said to He Libo that there is something at home, it must have something to do with Yelu Zongyuan's actions, if this will allow Wang to go to Liao, and there is this letter from the people around him, Once there was a civil strife in the Liao State, it would be difficult for the king to get out of trouble. ”

Yue Li frowned as he spoke, he tugged at the boss's heart for Wang Bei, and Wang Bei nodded thoughtfully: "So Brother Yue deliberately sent that letter to remind me and He Libo." ”

Yue Li looked at the king and said: "Yes, that's their family matter, the matter has been written clearly, if you have to go on an envoy, you can have time to prepare, find a reason to resign, as for He Libo to return to Liao, brother can go to him." ”

After listening to this, Wang Jian pondered for a while, laughed, and Yue Li looked at him: "If not, why are you still laughing when you come to the end." ”

After listening to what Yue Li said, Wang Jian felt a lot more relaxed, he smiled and said: "If Brother Yue didn't tell me, I didn't know what would happen, but now after listening to this, my heart is open, at least I already know what the other party wants to do, Brother Yue, don't worry, I have my own coping." ”

He saw Yue Li nodded, so he asked: "I want to ask Brother Yue, how did Governor Liu of Daizhou know about this, and also, can you tell me who your classmate is, if I meet when I travel in the future, I should be prepared." ”

Yue Li hesitated, after all, it was his classmate, but thinking about Wang Bi's reputation now, everything he did was for the benefit of the country and the people, if someone harmed Wang Bi, it would be impossible to say it from Yue Li, besides, the eldest husband did things above board, he looked down on the classmate and the prince in his heart,

"Daizhou Governor Liu and I are old friends, he also happened to come to me some time ago, speaking of your support for the management of border logging, very appreciated, we talked about the recommendation of the prince of Yunjiao, I told him the idea that you offended the prince, as for my classmate, brother, you can rest assured, Yue believes in his brother's personality, and he is very ashamed to do this to that person, so I tell you now, you will be more careful when you meet this person in the future."

Wang watched Yue Li listen carefully,

Yue Li paused for a moment: "This person's surname is Qin, his name is Qin Minzhi, I don't know if Brother Wang can recognize this person." ”

The king thought about it carefully, and seemed to have seen the name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and he shook his head,

Yue Li seemed to have realized that his classmate was no longer in the capital all the year round, and it was no wonder that the king didn't know, so he said: "He is a steward in the north room of the Privy Council, and his current official position is that he is a member of the right division, and he often goes in and out of the Liao realm and is not in the court, so it is normal if he does not know him without brothers." ”

There are so many officials in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible for the king to know them all, he knows: the north room is one of the twelve rooms under the Privy Council, and there are twelve rooms under the Privy Council, including the north room, the Hexi room, the branch room, the Beijing room, the school reading room, the Guangxi room, the soldier registration room, the militia room, the officer's room, the miscellaneous room, the horse room, and the small official's room.

This is not right, now that Yelu Zongyuan of the Liao State has made such a big move to recruit troops and buy horses, the officials of the Song State know about it, doesn't the emperor of the Liao State Yelu Hongji know, if this Yelu Zongyuan really rebelled, this is not a secret secret,

"Brother Yue, there is one more thing I don't understand, Yelu Zongyuan made such a big move, didn't Yelu Hongji notice it."

"If you don't have a brother, you don't know as much as I do, Yelu Zongyuan originally had a heavy army, Yelu Hongji didn't dare to face to face directly even if he noticed it, not to mention that he is now the same as his father Yelu Zongzhen, playing and hunting all day long, drinking and having fun, and there are only a few traitors around him, so naturally he doesn't care about so many political affairs, so what his imperial uncle Yelu Zongyuan does, no one tells Yelu Hongji."

Wang Fang speculated in his heart about Yelu Zongzhen, Yelu Zongyuan, Yelu Hongji, what kind of people are they, he looked at Yue Li, it seems that Yue Li knows more about the affairs of Liao, so it is better to take this opportunity to ask more questions: "Brother Yue, I also heard that Yelu Zongyuan could have been the emperor of Liao, but he has not done it, why do he want to take the throne now." ”

Yue Li smiled, Wang Bian is the right person, since he became the prefect of Baozhou, Baozhou is an important border of Song Liao, and now Song Liao is always highly vigilant in his prefect, so he is basically familiar with the history of Liao.

"Since my brother wants to ask, then I will simply tell my brother about ......" As he said that, he was about to tell the relationship between the three of them, and the king saw Yue Li rolling up the sleeves of his robe, and it seemed that he could not say it clearly in three or two sentences, so he said: "Brother Yue, later, I will go and ask someone to prepare some wine and food, and we will talk and talk while talking." ”

After saying that, the king beckoned people to put down the wine and food, and listened to Yue Li say slowly:

Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan were born to the same mother, and their mothers were both Xiao Yunjin.

I have to mention two women here, one is Xiao Xuan (Xiao Yanyan), a very heavyweight woman in the Liao State, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who was very famous in history, fought against the Song State against the "Yang General" and signed the Tanyuan Alliance with the Song State.

Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan's mother, Xiao Yunjin, is a descendant of nobles, and after being named a concubine, she served as a palace maid in the palace of Empress Dowager Xiao.

When it comes to the second woman of Liao, she is indeed a gentle and virtuous woman, that is Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the second queen of Yelu Longxu of Liao Shengzong, the small character Bodhisattva brother, is the daughter of Xiao Kuiyin, the younger brother of the wise queen Xiao Xuan (Xiao Yanyan),

These three women decided the battle for the throne after Yelu Zongzhen, who affected the Liao State, succeeded to the throne,

Empress Dowager Xiao is the daughter of Xiao Siwen, the privy envoy of the Northern Liaoning Yuan and the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, known as the "Empress Dowager Chengtian" in history, a famous female politician and military strategist in the history of Liao, and is very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law Queen Xiao Bodhisattva, although she is also a close relative, but the queen has a weak personality, and she does not have the courage of the Empress Dowager Xiao at all.

When Xiao Yunjin served the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Empress Dowager Xiao found that Xiao Yunjin was a woman with a very heavy mind, and she was very bold, there is a legend in the history of the Liao Kingdom, which said that Xiao Yunjin was originally very ugly, with a dark complexion, and his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, but because of his background in the descendants, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu still married her into the harem, but Longxu never treated her as a concubine, but only lined her up in the mother's Xiao Xuan's tent as a palace maid, one day, when she cleaned the bed for the Empress Dowager Xiao, she accidentally picked up a golden rooster, and suddenly the Empress Dowager Xiao entered the account, In a hurry, she swallowed the golden rooster, but she didn't expect that the golden rooster was a chicken-shaped miracle medicine, and after a few days, Xiao Yunjin's skin was actually reborn and became radiant.

The fool also knows that this thing is impossible, and it can only be said that Xiao Yunjin endured humiliation and finally won the love of the Empress Dowager Xiao, so the Empress Dowager Xiao ordered Longxu to have sex with her, and in February of the fifth year of Kaitai (1016), Xiao Yunjin really gave birth to a son, named Mu Bu Lonely,

This child, named Mu Bugu, is the future emperor of Liao, Xingzong Yelu Zongzhen,

The queen raised Yelu Zongzhen as her own and loved her very much, and later Xiao Yunjin gave birth to a son, that is, Yelu Zongyuan, although the two brothers had a good relationship, but Xiao Yunjin regarded Xiao Bodhisattva as a thorn in his side, and killed Xiao Bodhisattva Brother to establish himself as the queen, and even planned to let Yelu Zongyuan replace the crown prince,

Later, Yelu Zongyuan performed military exploits, and the power and military power became more and more powerful, but he still had a deep relationship with Yelu Zongzhen, who had succeeded to the throne, Yelu Zongzhen believed in religion, but still did not forget to have lewd pleasures, during a trip, Yelu Zongzhen wanted to indulge in fun in the temple, so he ordered the concubine to pretend to be a Taoist aunt, and was recognized by Yelu Zongyuan, so he asked the royal brother,

Yelu Zongzhen slyly bet with his brother, there are no concubines in the temple, if there is one, he will lose to his younger brother a city, and as a result, Yelu Zongyuan found several pretending Taoist aunts, Yelu Zongzhen also felt embarrassed, but later Yelu Zongyuan did not mention it at all, Liao Xingzong was grateful, and promised to pass the throne to his younger brother Yelu Zongyuan after his death,

But Yelu Zongyuan was cunning again, and after his death, the throne passed to his son Yelu Hongji, and now Yelu Zongyuan's son Yelu Hongxiao (Nelugu) has grown up, and he no longer wants his father to be patient, not only for his father Yelu Zongyuan, but also for himself,
