Chapter 396: Commander
Coming to the camp of the palace army, Han Derang Shilling Xiao Guo and his henchmen to ambush around the camp tent of the Chinese army, and then blow the beard to convene the officers to discuss the matter. On the occasion of the death of the emperor, the commanders of the palace division army were restless, and they heard that the Chinese army had an order, and they came to the Chinese military academy with their own soldiers, only to see the queen Xiao, the prince Yelu Longxu, and the privy envoy of the Southern Court Han Derang had already stood in front of the Chinese military tent.
When the commanders saw this situation and knew that the situation had changed, they all became uneasy, and they exchanged words and ears.
The middle military academy where thousands of people had gathered was noisy, Xiao Xuan's face changed slightly, if Emperor Yeluxian was alive, how could these palace divisions dare to do this, Han Derang's eyes froze, he glanced back at Xiao Xuan, signaled her not to panic, strode to the front, and shouted:
"The emperor died, there are still queens and young lords here, there are many foreign ministers of the wealthy family who have ill intentions, the traitorous party is waiting for the opportunity to move, the country has suffered a great change, it is the time for the palace division army to show loyalty, willing to stabilize the Great Liao Sheji, loyal to the royal family, now they will roll up their right sleeves, and those who are willing to rebel and collude with the traitorous party will roll up their left sleeves!"
Han Derang is known for his prestige, and he said it clearly, it is precisely to cut through the chaos quickly, learn from the old wisdom of Zhou Bo, a famous minister of the former Han Dynasty, to subdue the Northern Army and quell the rebellion of the Lu family, and use Empress Xiao and Yelu Longxu to occupy the position of righteousness, and take the lead to firmly control the palace army.
The leaders of the palace division army looked at each other, most of them only knew that the duty of the palace division army was to guard the royal family, and a very small number of those who had colluded with the ministers of the sect had colluded with the court, how could they roll up their left sleeves in front of the public, for fear that if they just took a stand, they would immediately be divided into corpses. The generals who were loyal to Xiao and Yelu Longxu and their personal soldiers immediately rolled up their right sleeves, and most of the palace branch janissary commanders who had no position also rolled up their right hand sleeves, and in the end, there were only a dozen commanders left in the school field, who refused to roll up their right sleeves, but they did not dare to blatantly roll up their left sleeves.
In the school field, there is a clear distinction between loyalty and treachery, and the commanders of the palaces have surrounded those who refuse to roll up their right sleeves, and pulled out their swords to surround each other, but these people are also quite tough, gathered together, and one of them is called Yelu Xin, and one of them scolded loudly: "The new monarch's accession to the throne is a family affair of the Khitan Yelu clan, when will it be Han De's turn to let you speak!"
Han Derang frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, the archers who were ambushed by Xiao Guo next to him strode forward and shot towards the hundred and ten people who did not roll up their sleeves in the middle of the school field. Some of the people around who rolled up their right sleeves didn't expect Han Derang to be so ruthless, and they actually exterminated the dissidents without saying a word, with fear on their faces, and some of the palace commanders who were originally loyal to Yeluxian, Han Derang and the Xiao clan were calm, and the Khitans were heroic, and they were broken when they were broken, and they were soft even when they killed the enemy, how could they convince everyone to follow.
Seeing that all the disobedient people in the school field had been eliminated, Han Derang immediately dispatched more than ten cronies and generals, with his henchmen and soldiers, holding Xiao Xuan's holy decree covered with the jade seal of the Liao Emperor, to take over the subordinates of the generals who were executed at the right time. The people who were executed were all the relatives and nobles of the clan outside who were very close, and they would never support the generals of Yelu Longxu, Han Derang had already understood clearly through the eyes of the palace army, and what he did just now was just to force them to show their attitude, so as to find an excuse to kill.
Witnessing this decisive scene, the little emperor Yelu Longxun leaned closely on Empress Xiao's body, looking up at Han Derang's tall back, his face was pale, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, but it was Han Derang who moved away and led him to the front of the many palace divisions.
"Since the palace division army is loyal to the royal family, loyal to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, this is a great gift to the new emperor. Han Derang said in a deep voice, took a few steps forward, turned around, stood in front of the commanders of many palace divisions, knelt down first, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, long live, long live, long live!"
Seeing that Han Derang first shouted long live, the commanders of the palace division army woke up to the fact that since the establishment of the Liao State by the Khitan people, most of the court etiquette came from the Southern Dynasty system, and the three long live support etiquette was quite natural to accept, so they knelt on the ground and shouted long live regardless of the uniform.
Seeing that Han Derang was in the backhand, he took the palace division army for his own use, and the overall situation was initially stabilized, Xiao Xuan's heart was excited, and his eyes flashed with gratitude, and he took Yelu Longxu to signal to the loyal palace division army. She calmed down the emotions in her heart and said loudly: "The loyalty of the generals is remembered by the royal family, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds in the future." Han Derang, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, was loyal and commendable, and he commanded the various armies of the Su Guard and gave orders. In the past, she used to give orders to the courtiers and the army instead of Yelu Xian, but at this moment she was worried, but her words had her own majesty, the commanders of the armies had been loyal to Xiao and Yelu Longxu, and her orders were also awe-inspiring.
The bonfire was blazing, illuminating the entire Liao royal tent camp as if it were day, Han Derang got Xiao Houyi's decree, and led more than ten henchmen to take over the palace and the guards, and he personally took the knife to patrol outside the camp tent of Empress Xiao and the young lord of Liao, Yelu Longxu, to prevent the assassination of suspicious people in the palace.
Xiao Xuan looked at Han Derang's parade, and said to the little emperor Yelu Longxu: "Your father's body is not cold, and there are more than 200 relatives and nobles in the clan, seeing that our orphans and widows are easy to bully, they are all gearing up to harm us, although Lord Han is a Han, he is the first to stand up to protect us, he is the benefactor of our mother and son, and you will respect him as you respect your father and emperor in the future." Yelulongxun listened to his mother's words and nodded vigorously.
The little emperor Yelu Longxu has just been twelve years old, and he seems to understand the major affairs of the military and the private affairs of his children, and he grew up in the royal family, and he has heard of the bloody struggle for the throne since he was a child, and his father, who has just passed away, was framed by political enemies before he ascended the throne, and fell into a lifelong disease. At this moment, Yelu Longxu felt that the relatives and nobles of the clan outside were extremely terrifying, and the only safe reliance was this Lord Han, who had no blood relationship with the Yelu clan. Soon, fear and tiredness came together, and the child could not stay up all night, so he fell asleep in his mother's arms.
Xiao Xuan hugged the child, staring at the figures passing by from time to time on the wall of the tent, not feeling stupid, his cheeks flushed for a while, pale for a while, shy for a while, and guilty for a while. was originally panicked because of the death of Emperor Yeluxian, but at this moment, he felt peaceful and peaceful, and after a while, he fell asleep rarely, frowning and gradually relaxed.
