Xiao Siwen was already sweating, what did the emperor mean by this?

If Yelujing originally intended to find an opportunity to deal with Yeluxian, a potential threat to the throne, his daughter's actions undoubtedly caused trouble.

But now it's hard to ride a tiger, at least I can't say anything, I can't do anything, I can only watch my daughter deal with it herself.

Xiao Siwen's only hope is that her daughter doesn't look for herself, and she doesn't ask her family for help, otherwise it will be really difficult to do. Tong Yan can be unscrupulous, once an adult is involved in the infighting of the royal family, he will be crushed if he doesn't get it right.

But besides looking for her own people, who can her daughter find? Will she get her hands dirty? If you don't do it, isn't it a crime of deception? What a dilemma!

The eyes of everyone present fell on Xiao Xuan, wanting to see how the youngest daughter of Xiao Siwen's family coped.

Surprisingly, Xiao Sui did not hesitate at all, and nodded with a smile: "The courtiers obey the order." ”

With that, he ran to the sidelines and shouted, "Brother Hugh, can you help me kill that slave?" ”

"Yes!"

I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy get up from his seat in the back, and the knife pierced the chest of the Jurchen slave.

Ye Luxian didn't stop it this time, he knew that he couldn't stop it, and if he spoke again, he would only anger the imperial uncle, and it was a trivial matter to cause trouble for himself. The most important thing is not to let this beautiful little girl get into trouble, she is really beautiful, very lovable, and very kind......

Yelujing didn't expect that someone was really willing to help Xiao Xuan, so he asked left and right: "Who is this son?" ”

After his entourage answered, Yelu Jing smiled and said, "Brother Yelu Xiu, the grandson of the King of Sui?" ”

"Brother Yelu Hugh see His Majesty!" The boy is not very old, but he knows etiquette very well.

Yelu Jing asked in a deep voice, "Why are you willing to listen to Xiao Xuan's orders?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Brother Hugh was punished by my grandfather for making a mistake last time, and it was Yanyan who helped me intercede to avoid punishment; Also, when my mother was sick, Yanyan was able to help me find a Han doctor. The mother turned the corner, so Brother Hugh should be grateful for his kindness. ”

Ye Lu Jing praised: "Well, knowing the grace is the excellent quality of my Khitan warriors, and you kill people neatly without frowning, you seem to be a talent, you should go to the army to experience it earlier." ”

Brother Yelu said: "Well, my grandfather has already said that after the beginning of spring, I will go to the army for training." ”

"Well, that's good!" Yelujing turned and pointed at Yeluxian. said coldly: "Look at you, you are the same age as Brother Hugh, but you have no power to restrain the chicken, you don't even dare to mention the knife, and your courage is not as good as Xiao Xuan's woman, it's really a shame for Emperor Shizong's face, go back and reflect on it!" ”

"Yes, Uncle Huang!" Ye Luxian looked back at Xiao Xuan reluctantly, then turned around and left stupidly.

Yelujing smiled, "I keep my promise. This is the first pearl that the swan catcher got this year was awarded to Xiao Xuan. ”

"Thank you." Xiao Xuan took the pearl with a smile and thanked him happily.

It was only at this time that Xiao Siwen breathed a sigh of relief, it should be safe.

Maybe the right talent. Yelujing really had the intention of finding an excuse to deal with Yeluxian, but the intervention of his daughter and Yeluxiu made the matter perfectly resolved on the surface.

The deep reason is probably that Yelu Jing is jealous of his Xiao family. and the power of Yelu Huge's grandfather, King Sui, so let's settle down!

However, his goal was still achieved, and Yeluxian was too cowardly. Emperor Yelujing has already said that he is not as bold as his own daughter.

Is a man who is not as good as a woman a warrior? Is he still qualified to become the leader of the Khitans, who are known for their bravery? Although he did not kill him, it was equivalent to eliminating the possibility of Yeluxian fighting for the throne.

However, Xiao Siwen has other ideas, although Ye Luxian is cowardly, he is kind and gentle, so that people will not tremble, and he may be able to win some people's hearts.

If such a person is an emperor, the power and status of the noble ministers will probably be better. And his daughter's unintentional act today can be regarded as a favor to him in some way, and the future ......

Xiao Siwen's heart moved, Yeluxian is the son of Emperor Sejong, and he is naturally qualified to inherit the throne, if there is a change in the future, he may be a good investment object.

……

Over there, Yelu Jing continued: "I am very relieved to see that there are successors to my Khitan warriors. Now that the Southern Dynasty has changed its dynasty again, it is the surname Zhao who has done the country, I have the heart to follow Emperor Taizong's Southern Hunt, what do you think? ”

"This ......"

"Why don't you speak?" Yelu Jing looked at the scene of Yaque and said coldly: "I heard that Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny was borrowed from the name of my Khitan southern invasion, but last year, my country was mainly in quelling civil strife and suppressing the Murowei rebellion, how did I come to invade south?" inexplicably carried the black cauldron, is it possible to achieve such a thing? ”

"Your Majesty is right, since the southerners claim that I have invaded the south of the Khitan, then I really have to go south to conquer once." The courtiers with cronies immediately echoed it.

"In addition to this Zhao Song framing my Khitan, there is also the old hatred of Waqiaoguan in the past, although it is an old grudge with Chai Rong of the Zhou Dynasty, but he Zhao Kuangyin is Chai Rong's former general, and now he has inherited the Chai family's foundation completely, so I should find him to settle this old account, right?"

Mentioning this, Yelu Jing was very unhappy in his heart, he has always been known for his wisdom and martial arts, and he can fight well. I don't want to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun in order to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and once led the army to the north and captured the three counties of Guannan south of Waqiao Pass from the Khitans.

This can be regarded as a good start for the recovery of Yanyun, and when the army wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and approach Youzhou, Chai Rong was ill and had to return to Bianliang in advance.

Soon after, he died with a whimper, leaving a great regret, but for Yelujing, it was a great shame, and he always wanted to be ashamed.

"As it should be!" The ministers were few and could not echo it.

Yelujing looked up and saw the silent Xiao Siwen, and asked, "What does Xiao Qing think?" ”

"This ...... Back to Majesty! ”

Xiao Siwen said: "The Southern Dynasty has always been obsessed with recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun presented by Shi Jingjiao, so it is appropriate for the Southern Dynasty to defend the territory of our Great Liao."

At present, however, the rebellion of the Murwei tribe had not yet been quelled, and the Uighurs in the west were ready to move. The minister served in the northern mansion, and in his humble opinion, he also asked His Majesty to wait for a while, and then to carry out the southern expedition after the northern Xinjiang was stabilized. ”

"Hmm!" Ye Lujing nodded expressionlessly, and then asked, "Han Kuangsi, you are staying in Nan/Jing, what do you think?" ”

This is a Han person, and he can have a place in the spring bowl where the Khitan nobles gather, which shows that he is extraordinary.

His father's name is Han Zhigu, who was a Han captive during the Khitan Southern Expedition, because of his profound knowledge and ability, and loyalty to the Khitan, he has been reused, and now he has become an official to the Zhongshu Order.

Han Kuang's heir relied on his father's nobility and became a south/Beijing guard, and Liao took Youzhou as the south/Beijing, he was a senior military general who stayed in Youzhou, and at the same time served as a southwest envoy. In the south of the Liao State, his status and power are second only to the king of the Southern Courtyard.

It can be said that a Han Chinese can have such a status in the Liao State ruled by the Khitans, and they can be reused in this way. Of course, if the historical development trajectory remains unchanged, the future of their Han family in the Khitan will definitely not stop there.

Han Kuangsi has a son named Han Derang, who was the guest of the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan in the original history, the official to the Shangshu order, participated in the handling of court politics, and the power was tilted towards the Liao State, which can be said to be under the two and above the ten thousand. Empress Dowager Xiao even gave him the surname Yelu, and even Yelu Longxu of Liao Shengzong gave him "the father's business".

But now Han Derang is just a young man who is just twenty years old, and Xiao Sui is only nine years old, and he has not yet had a marriage contract with him, let alone a concubine. What kind of shape the Liao Kingdom will be in the future, and what kind of fate will be for them, no one can predict.

At this moment, the reason why Yelu Jing asked Han Kuangsi was mainly because he was stationed in the south and knew the situation in the Central Plains best.

Han Kuangsi got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the matter of the southern expedition can be appropriately suspended. ”

"Why?"

"What Xiao Juma said is on the one hand, the northern Xinjiang is the rear of my Great Liao, and it needs to be settled as soon as possible." Han Kuangsi said: "Although Zhao Song has gained a firm foothold and pacified two civil strife, the shape is very complicated, the south is not as unified as in the Tang Dynasty, but divided into ten countries, attacking each other, Zhao Song is also tired of coping now, maybe it will collapse without us taking action."

If Da Liao wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains, the minister thought that there was no need to send troops in person for the time being, and it would be a good choice to support the Northern Han in Hedong. The Northern Han Dynasty is located in the east of the river, which can be said to be a buffer barrier between our country and the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In the past, Emperor Taizong also went south, but finally chose to return to the north...... Instead of sacrificing the lives of my Khitan warriors and spending countless money and food, it is better to support a puppet. The Northern Han Dynasty is now in a difficult situation, and if our country helps, the Northern Han Lord will be ecstatic. ”

"That's great!" Yelu Jing nodded and said: "It was a good opportunity for Li Yun to raise troops last year, but my Khitan warrior was delayed by the counterinsurgency. Now this Northern Han Dynasty is indeed worth using.

I heard that Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was busy recognizing relatives and marrying, and it seemed that there was indeed no one available, and the internal situation was unstable, so I should think of a way to try to win over people for my Khitan. ”

"The minister got news in Youzhou that Zhao Kuangyin was assassinated when he returned to Bianliang when he put down the Yangzhou rebellion, which shows that there are people in Zhao Song who are ready to move and are not at peace." Han Kuangsi said: "Zhao Kuangyin appointed his clan brother Zhao Zheng to investigate, and it has been more than two months, and there has been no progress. ”

"Zhao Zheng? But on New Year's Day, the relative that Zhao Kuangyin recognized? ”

"Exactly, this person is eighteen years old, it is said that he is young and promising, and he has made a great contribution to the Chenqiao Mutiny. He also participated in the suppression of Li Yun's rebellion, and not long ago he also sent an envoy to the Tang State in the south......"

Yelu Jing said disdainfully: "Eighteen years old? Huangkou Xiaoer, it seems that Zhao Kuangyin is really unavailable, what I will explain to you, you can do it! ”

Han Kuangsi said: "The minister thinks that this matter should be carried out in secret, and it is not appropriate to disclose secrets in a big way, it may be inconvenient to use the elderly." The minister has a son, Derang, who is twenty years old, and also has some strategic talent, and rarely shows up in front of people, so the minister plans to let him try, please ask His Majesty Xià to give permission. ”

"You have always done things with a purpose, since you dare to recommend your son, you must be young and promising, and there will be no mistakes, you can do it, and I will reward you for it."

"Obey the order!" Han Kuangsi happily accepted the order. (To be continued......)
