It was Xiao Miansi who jumped out to oppose it.

Shu Luping said angrily: "Why not! ”

Xiao Miansi shouted: "No, no, no!" ”

"You're bold!" Shu Luping said angrily: "Li Hu is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, the younger brother of the current emperor, his status is noble, no one can compare, he can't do it, can you do it!" ”

Xiao Miansi said: "The minister naturally can't do it, but although the minister can't do it, he Li Hu can't do it!" Li Hu has what he thinks about the throne, who in the world doesn't know, let him be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and take charge of the world's military power, where will the queen mother put the son of heaven and the prince where will he be! ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Miansi and Shu Luping are of the same clan, the Khitan Xiao family, which was originally the Sinicized surname of the Shu Lu family, but Xiao Miansi is the uncle of the current prince Yelu Jing.

Shu Luping was pierced by him, and said angrily: "Remember! You are bold! If you don't use the sword for a long time, you really won't kill people if you think of the mourning family? ”

Xiao Mian thought: "Even if you want to kill me!" Not really! ”

Shu Luping shouted angrily: "Come on, Xiao Miansi has ill intentions and intends to rebel, drag it down, and behead it!" ”

A samurai came up and wanted to drag Xiao Miansi down, and the ministers would not think that Shu Luping was just putting on a show - she really dared to kill! When the Emperor of Heaven died, in order to help Yelu Deguang ascend to the throne, Shu Luping beheaded a few relatives and dignitaries in front of her husband's coffin, and now what is it to kill another Xiao Miansi!

Yelu Wu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to admonish, and Shu Luping shouted: "Dare to intercede for him, and be punished as an accomplice!" ”

Seeing that the warrior was about to drag Xiao Miansi down, Yelu Shuogu saw that the shape could not be reversed, and stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the minister is willing to be ordered by the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses." ”

Shu Luping saw Yelu Shuogu compromise on the spot. His expression eased slightly, and Yelu Shuogu said again: "Although Xiao Miansi offended the Queen Mother, he has been conscientious and meritorious to the country in the past few years, and asked the Queen Mother to pardon his capital crimes." ”

Shu Luping has the heart to help Yelu Li Hu ascend to the throne, among the ministers. Xiao Miansi was an obstacle that could not be bypassed, and he was going to take the opportunity to kill him, but Yelu Shuogu compromised first, and then interceded, so he couldn't help but consider his face, and after a little thought, he said: "Okay, send his life and go to prison." Let's see the after-effects! ”

In Yeluwu's sigh and Han Yanhui's trembling, a coup d'état that was not yet a coup d'état came to an end.

——————————

However, the atmosphere in Liaoyang Mansion has been tense since this day, Yelu Lihu is domineering, cruel and easy to kill, but Shu Luping thinks that this is the nature of the Khitan people, and he is not restrained at all, and he is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses One day, the ministers of the southern faction knew that their days were sad.

After the court. Han Yanhui returned to the mansion and kept shivering.

Since the Khitan moved eastward. The Southern faction is gaining momentum, Han Yanhui is becoming more and more powerful in the court, and the prince has also invited him to be his master, which makes him see hope, but if Yelu Li Hu is up, Han Yanhui will not see a way out.

The emperor is a Khitan. Whether it is Shatuo or Han people, as long as he is still a rational person, Han Yanhui feels that he has a place to play. But who is Yelu Lihu? Sexual violence is like a tiger, and sexual suspicion is like a fox. Moody and unreasonable, he is the emperor, not to mention dignity and wealth, even his life is like being handed over to a drunkard with a butcher's knife.

The day after the court meeting, Yelu Lihu opened the government to build a mansion and gathered the military power, and the mansion was prepared for him by Shu Luping in the morning, but it was just an empty shell, and there was nothing in it, and Yelu Lihu was very dissatisfied. At this time, Yelu Cha gave him an idea, and Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard the plan, so he announced that in order to destroy the great cause of the Tang Dynasty, he would let the Duo Duo go to Liaojin to collect materials - the method was to borrow the "national debt" of the Tiance Tang Army, and exchange a blank note for the gold and silver goods of the merchants of Liaojin!

The reason why Tiance's "treasury bonds" were able to be implemented smoothly and accepted by merchants was that they were able to recover their capital and even make profits after successive issuance of treasury bonds, and they were proved to be trustworthy, and except for the first "treasury bonds" raised, which was half fraudulent and half coercive, the subsequent treasury bonds were basically voluntary.

But Yelu Lihu's national debt has a bullshit credit? And it is a completely coercive act, which makes it unbearable for merchants of all sizes in Liaojin.

But under the butcher's knife of Bai Huahua, who dares to say a word?

At the same time, Yelu Lihu adopted the construction of Cha and imposed additional taxes on the rural areas of southern Liaoning - after the Han people in Liaodong gained a firm foothold in recent years, life was indeed gradually getting better - at least better than the northern Khitan who mixed with the nomadic herds of the river, which caused jealousy and resentment at the bottom of the Khitan, and the people of the northern faction believed that the reason why the Han people would sit big was that the Sinicized faction duì they were too good. The imposition of additional taxes on the rural areas of southern Liaoning can not only raise money and grain, but also appease the Khitan bottom.

As soon as these two things came out, there was soon a wave of rebellion on the ground in Liaodong, and Xiao Miansi planned to restore power after knowing - others were in prison, but the old officials of the door were all over Liaoyang Mansion, but Cha Cha had already closely monitored him, and he was detected before he could do anything, Yelu Cha cut out Li Hu, and pulled out more than ten important ministers in Tokyo, involving more than 80 families, and raided the family for the crime of treason - these are the courtiers of the southern faction, they have guò overseas trade, although it has only been a few years, the family has been extremely rich. The generals of the northern faction have lived in the bitter cold of Tongjiang for a long time, and they have always been jealous and hateful of these people, so they are extremely excited to copy their homes.

For a time, Liaoyang Mansion fell into a terrifying atmosphere.

Yelu Wu's several persuasions were fruitless, and Han Yanhui also stepped forward, but was slanted by Yelu Li Hu and said: "I'm talking to the enemy, what kind of mouth do you have a Han slave here!" Go down! ”

Han Yanhui trembled, and his face seemed to be stripped of the word "Hannu" by Yelu Lihu!

Back at home, Han Yanhui was still distracted, although he did not participate in Xiao Miansi's scheme, but they were both southern factions, what was the difficulty of implicating himself? Now whether Yelu Lihu kills him or not is just a thought.

Seeing his father like this, Han Deshu couldn't help but step forward and said, "Dad, Da Liao is no better than in the past, or ...... Shall we go the other way? ”

Han Yanhui was stunned for a moment, and then knew what Han Deshu was going to say.

——————————

Yelu Lihu reused Yelu Cha Cut, Tongguò Liaojin National Debt, Liaonan Jiafu, and Liaoyang Raid, and the three actions not only beat all those who opposed Yelu Lihu into silence, but also raised a large amount of materials. In the originally empty mansion of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, gold and silver treasures have been piled up! And the newly levied taxes in southern Liaoning are enough for an army of millions of people for a year!

Seeing that there were soldiers and food in his hands, and some people had money, Yelu Lihu couldn't help but laugh at Yelu Cha and said: "With this money and grain, even if we raise 300,000 soldiers, it will be enough to fight a war for five or six years." What are you afraid of now? What Yang Yi is afraid of, what are you afraid of Eagle Yang sweat and blood riding, Mo knife and battle axe array! ”

Yelu Cha said with a smile: "Actually, Han Yanhui's little old man is also a little capable, and in just a few years, he has helped us raise the Han family's sheep so fat." But even the fattest sheep is a sheep, and when it is time to slaughter, it should be slaughtered. The most wrong thing about the southern faction is that they forget the roots of their ancestors and really regard these cheap people in the south as human beings. ”

Yelu Li snorted: "This batch of cheap seeds in the south is rich!" The annual income of the treasury is not half of that here! There are so many good things in stock! He also dares to keep saying that he is loyal to Da Liao! ”

Jerodza said, "Exactly." Precisely. He asked again: "Now that the situation has been decided, it is time for the other side of the palace to mourn." ”

"Almost." Yelu Lihu said expressionlessly: "Although the body of the second child is salted, look at the weather is getting hotter, and the room where the morgue is resting is getting more and more smelly now, and if there is no mourning, the stench will drift out of the palace wall." ”

——————————

When Liaoyang Mansion completed the "transfer of power", Yanjing's election of the big endorsement also came to an end. Although Cao Yuanzhong tried to connect with each other, Zheng Wei also worked secretly hard. But in the end, it was still impossible to nominate a figure who could compete with Feng Dao, Feng Dao united the gentry group of the Central Plains, and with the position of this group in the correction platform, plus the seats that could be influenced, it was supported by nearly one-third of the correction of the imperial history.

Cao Yuanzhong launched a correction of the Murong family's imperial history, and the Zheng family's Nai family also launched one of their own endorsements. But in terms of momentum and prestige, it is far from being comparable to Feng Dao. In the end, a large number of neutrals and wall-riding factions fell to Feng Dao, making Feng Dao get more than 60% of the support rate, and he was successfully elected, becoming the second big spokesperson after Yang Dingguo.

Although Guo Fen doesn't like Feng Dao very much. But this big endorsement was elected, and she couldn't overturn it, so she had to hand over the "Seal of Speech on behalf of all the people".

After receiving the antique bronze seal from Guo Fen's hand, Feng Dao's face bloomed for the first time with a look that he had never had since returning to the Tang Dynasty, from this moment on, he, as the representative of the people, could see that the Son of Heaven did not worship, and stood sideways when worshipping the sky, and there were two sentences on the Liangzhou Correction Appraisal Platform: "The heart of heaven is the heart of the people, and the will of the people is the will of heaven!" Now it is also engraved on the evaluation platform in Yanjing! That is to say, theoretically speaking, mastering the great endorsement of "Representing the Seal of Words" can even represent the will of heaven and balance the Son of Heaven! What a lofty position!

Seeing that Feng Dao was elected, the gentry and the old bureaucrats in the Central Plains all had a sense of arrogance for a while, and even Fan Zhen and Li Nuan came to congratulate him publicly. The Feng family's courtyard, which was becoming increasingly cold, soon became lively, and countless people posted posts to see each other every day, and the waiting crowd formed a long queue outside the house, such a scene has never been seen since the founding of Tiance.

However, the business community was worried about this change, Feng Dao's political opinions expressed in that court meeting were only afraid that it would be unfavorable to the businessmen, and the military circles were also vigilant, and the Central Plains scholars never concealed their intention to use civil power to control the military, and the two factions that fought separately in this election began to consider whether to unite against the growing gentry alliance.

On this day, Cao Yuanzhong suddenly drove lightly and visited Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei saw him and said: "The privy in charge of the military came to see the prime minister in charge, aren't you afraid of attracting rumors?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong sneered: "Although I didn't make a big show, I also came openly. Besides, the ruler of your government can go to see the big spokesperson, why can't I come to see you? ”

Zheng Wei smiled, welcomed him in, and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's get straight to the point." ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "The position of the great spokesperson was taken away by Feng Dao, so you are not in a hurry?" ”

Zheng Wei said: "Rectify the evaluation of the lower level of the prison, but its supervisory role is mainly reflected in the grassroots, although the Lunxian Hall is noble, but only the power to establish and revise the law, can not affect my specific administration, I am afraid of where he came from!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "You are in power now, so naturally it has no impact, but what about the next one?" Don't forget, the Son of Heaven has the right to appoint prime ministers. But it has to be stamped with a big endorsement seal to be legal. With this ring of constraints, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future! Although you are still young, your quality is lighter, and it is impossible for the prime minister to occupy it for another ten or twenty years! At that time, he took advantage of the situation, and the government and public opinion became their world! If they try to nominate a civil servant to the Privy Council. Hehe, I'm afraid that even the Son of Heaven will be hollowed out! ”

"Them?" Zheng Wei frowned: "Feng Dao is actually still a person with good temperament, and Fan Zhen is also a gentleman, not to mention that they seem to have formed a party." ”

Cao Yuanzhong sneered: "Didn't they form a party? If you don't form a party, where does this more than half of the support come from! ”

Zheng Wei was silent, and he had not considered the worries raised by Cao Yuanzhong.

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Since Yutai can make laws and cultivate the law, you have to be careful that they slowly change the law into only beneficial to them!" When it comes to reading, we are inferior to them. But when it comes to doing things, where do these people succeed! Now it's okay to let them point fingers at the public platform, but if they really let the world fall into their hands, they must spoil the country's major affairs. ”

Zheng Wei sneered: "You will also worry about national affairs? You are worried about the glory and power of your Cao family. ”

Cao Yuanzhong's face didn't blush: "So what!" It is both for the public and for the private. Besides, they don't necessarily have much public interest over there! Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Even if it's the marshal's side, is it really selfless?" He's come up with so many interlocking structures. When it came to him, there were few things. But the power is great, if you really want to be willful, who can control him! The government and military government seem to have all been released, but no one can intervene in the core number of the army! Although he has not ascended the throne, he has long ruled the world. Let's fight here. The premise is that you can't offend him, if anyone really offends him, he will shoot it with one hand, and everyone will be wiped out. ”

Zheng Wei smiled faintly and said, "I don't want to talk about the marshal's affairs. But if you really want Feng Dao to sit down, it's not what I want. Say, what are you going to do? ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Feng Dao's philosophy is contrary to ours, but you and I can complement each other. Although he has now taken away the big endorsement, we still have to fight for the seat in the Constitutional Hall and the chief of the 24th Hall, so that the Correction and Evaluation Desk can make my voice heard, and not let the Correction and Appraisal Station become their mouthpiece. ”

Zheng Wei said very cautiously: "As the head of the government, I shouldn't have been involved in this election, but this time I secretly passed the word, in fact, I have already crossed the line, if I collude with you again......"

"Don't say it so ugly, what collusion! Let's join forces! Cao Yuanzhong said: "In Beijing, sometimes don't be so fake." Let's just tell the truth, you have been in power from the northwest for more than ten years now, and from ancient times to the present, Tsukasa has rarely done it for so long. When the two privy councillors merge successfully, your credit will be even greater. Yang Yi conquered Mobei and destroyed the Khitan, and he received a lot of suspicion! And your credit will be smaller than Yang Yi's? Thinking about the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He's ranking is still above Han Xin! I see that after the marshal came to the west, I am afraid that it will be the time when you leave office. ”

Zheng Wei was stunned when he heard it, he was evacuated by nature, he didn't like this kind of heavy government affairs, but he had been in power for more than ten years, and this matter had already become a habit for him, and he suddenly heard Cao Yuanzhong say that he might step down in the near future, and he couldn't help but feel awkward and even unaccustomed, but Cao Yuanzhong's analysis sounded not unreasonable.

Cao Yuanzhong said again: "Feng Dao transferred to the correction platform, and the road ahead will be smooth, with his age, as long as his body can support it, he may be able to work for ten years, ten years, enough for him to cultivate a large group of protégés." What about your side? If you step down, do you really plan to retire completely? Even if you don't care about yourself, what about your family? The Zheng family's business is so big, if no one escorts them at the highest level, within three years, this big ship will have to be dismantled! ”

Zheng Wei said lightly: "What you are saying are you asking me to quickly install cronies in the government while I have not stepped down yet?" ”

"Such stupid words, also I said?" Cao Yuanzhong sneered: "The current government, except for you, naturally respects Fan Qian, and Zhang Yi is not as good as him." Look at Fan Zhen recently, how low-key? I'm not afraid of not doing things, I'm just afraid of doing something wrong, he's just waiting for you to come down, and he will naturally take over. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"I mean, if you want to quit, you can quit yourself, and it's better to leave late than early! When someone grabs the handle and retreats, it is better to find a reason to retreat in style. ”

Zheng Weizheng wondered how Cao Yuanzhong spoke inconsistently, so he heard Cao Yuanzhong say: "However, you can retreat without retreating!" ”

"Oh? How to retreat without retreating? ”

Cao Yuanzhong said with a smile: "After Dingguo retired from the military, no one was afraid of him, why, because he had no military power." If you retire in style, won't you become a national elder? At that time, no one will be afraid of you, because you have no power. You can do whatever you want. With your qualifications, you will not be able to sit in the Consecalist Hall. If you say it, even Feng Dao's big endorsement has to be weighed a few points. ”

Zheng Wei laughed: "What do you mean, do you want me to leave the prime minister and go to the Xiantang to support the elderly, and by the way, help you check and balance Feng Dao?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "It's not enough to just have a seat in the Nonxian Hall. But there's a position that I think if you step down, you're going to take charge. ”

"Which location?"

Cao Yuanzhong said: "This is the position where Feng Dao retreated." ”

Zheng Wei was stunned again: "You mean...... Bachelor's degree? ”

"Not bad! Bachelor's degree! Scholar of the Academy! Cao Yuanzhong said: "Now there is a shortage of business bachelors, and there is also a shortage of university scholars. If you enter Hanlin and take charge of the position of a scholar, who can compete with you? Besides, the position of a scholar can be very leisurely, or it can be very powerful, it just depends on his relationship with the Son of Heaven. Feng Dao is not a cronie of the Heavenly Family, this position is just a fictitious title for him, but if it is you, I am afraid that what you say, whether it is the marshal or the lady, will listen, right? In this way, although you are not the prime minister, you can check and balance the prime minister at critical moments. is not a privy envoy, but he can talk to the military machine. And you are no longer in the phase, you can speak more tabooly, if you also have a seat in the Lunxian Hall, then you can also check and balance the big endorsement on the evaluation stage. In this way, though you have retreated, you can retreat without retreating. Akari's power is smaller, but the invisible power is probably greater. Between advancing and retreating, it is also more free. ”

Zheng Wei smiled: "What's even better is that if I don't want to, I can shake my hand and go to the mountains and rivers." ”

Cao Yuanzhong smiled: "Exactly! ”

Zheng Wei smiled: "When you say this, it seems that I should hurry up and ask for my resignation now." ”

Seeing that the other party was going to be persuaded by himself, Cao Yuanzhong was complacent, and Zheng Wei suddenly said: "It's a pity that ......"

"It's a pity?"

Zheng Wei said: "It's a pity that now is not the time!" ”

"Isn't it time?"

"Of course not at the right time!" Zheng Wei said: "If the world has been decided, it is nothing for me to hand over the Prime Minister's seal to Fan Qian." But now Mai Ge'er is touring west, Chang'an Taiyuan is unstable, the south is watching, and the Khitan is ready to move. This situation, I'm afraid that Fan Zhen can't cope with it. So even if I want to retreat, I'll wait until this qiē is resolved. ”

When Cao Yuanzhong heard this, his expression suddenly became a little gloomy, Zheng Wei's words actually did not reject him, the reason why his mood was gloomy for a while was mainly because of the three words "Mai Geer" in Zheng Wei's tone!

Since Tiance Tang Qi annexed the Central Plains, the number of famous generals under the account has been included in the number of vehicles, but there are still only a few people who can naturally call out the word "Mai Ge'er" in private! Zheng Wei is one of them, and he, Cao Yuanzhong, can never be one of them. Those who can call out the three words "Mai Geer", no matter what position, are all interested in Zhang Mai, and those who have nothing to do with these three words, no matter how they jump, are outsiders after all.

Therefore, Zheng Wei can be in the Government Affairs Yuan, in the Hanlin Academy, and in the Nonxian Hall, for him, he is just moving his seat, and he does not need to be like Cao Yuanzhong to exhaust calculations and tremble in order to stabilize his powerful position.

————————

However, this conversation with Cao Yuanzhong also inspired Zheng Wei, and he went to Xishan on the second day, had a detailed discussion with Guo Fen, and wrote two long letters, one to Zhang Mai and one to Yang Yi. Two days later, he wrote another letter and sent it to Guo Luo.

The letter to Guo Luo was just sent, and a news came out from the east that Yelu Deguang, the emperor of Liao, the Han name Liu Dejin, died! (To be continued......)
