Yelu Shou, the king of Wei, was brought up by the five flowers, Yelu Hongji was lying on the couch, his face was pale, and his body was wrapped in a thick cotton veil, although Yelu Pingguang did not hit the heart with an arrow, so that he was lucky not to die on the spot, but his injuries were still very serious, and the arrow alone almost killed him.

"Jerusho, are you guilty?"

Yelu Hongji's eyes were full of anger, and he stared at Yelu Shou, but the injury was too serious for him to have a seizure.

Yelu Shou was pressed to kneel in front of Yelu Hongji, he knew that he would inevitably die, so he simply let it go, he held his head high and scolded: "Yelu Hongji, the guilty person is you, the country that my ancestors and ancestors have worked hard to build, but it was ruined in your hands, you squandered extravagantly, killed the people, robbed the clan, cronies and traitors, and brutalized the loyal and good, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury, the boiling of public resentment, you recklessly mobilized the army, hundreds of thousands of Khitan warriors died in your hands, Nanjing lost, Xijing lost, Zhongjing lost, Tokyo lost, the Great Liao Empire rebelled and left, The destruction of the country is imminent, what kind of face do you have to go to see Taizu, to see the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Yelu Hongji was so angry that he trembled, waved his hand and said, "Get me out, hack to death and feed the dogs!" ”

The guards dragged Yelu Shou down, and Yelu Shou shouted: "Yelu Hongji, you don't even let go of your own son, you are destined to cut off your children and grandchildren, Yelu Hongji, you are the sinner of the ages in Da Liao........"

Yelushou's voice gradually disappeared, but his curse was like a knife to Yelu Hongji's heart and liver, Yelu Hongji suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted in the sky.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The surrounding imperial doctors were so frightened that they desperately tried to rescue him, and after a while, Yelu Hongji slowly woke up, and he let out a long sigh, "I am indeed guilty!" ”

"Your Majesty's injuries are serious, you need to take care of the dragon's body, and everything will be said when the injuries are healed."

"Go and call Hong Tai!"

After a while, Yelu Hongtai hurriedly came, knelt down and saluted: "The emperor sees Your Majesty!" ”

Yelu Hongji said in a low voice: "How much did the 40,000 army lose?" ”

"Your Majesty, about half of the loss is lost, Yelu Pingguang has fled, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"What about us?"

"Nearly 10,000 casualties."

Yelu Hongji regretted it very much, he only had a total of 70,000 troops left, and he was tossed 30,000 by Yelu Shou, and the Liao State was really going to perish.

"Is there any news from Tokyo?"

Yelu Hongtai nodded, "I just got the news that the Song army fleet has blocked the Liao River, and Fan Ning has led a large army to the west bank of the Liao Kingdom, and will launch an attack on Liaoyang City at any time." ”

"It's my incompetence!"

Yelu Hongji sighed again and said to Yelu Hongtai: "The ministers outside forgive them for their innocence, and I only investigate the guilt of King Wei's father and son, let them be relieved, go!" ”

"Brother Huang, please take care of the dragon's body, the younger brother will restore order in Beijing as soon as possible and revitalize the army."

Yelu Hongtai instructed the imperial doctor a few more words, and hurried out.

There were hundreds of ministers kneeling in the square outside the main hall, although they were not directly involved in the rebellion, but they participated in the establishment of the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi as the emperor, and now Yelu Hongji has come back, the king of Wei and his eldest son were hacked to death with knives, and his wife and concubine were punished as camp prostitutes, so that every minister was terrified, for fear that the son of heaven would be angry and affect his family.

At this time, Yelu Hongtai, the king of Liang, walked out quickly, stood on the steps and said loudly to the ministers: "The Son of Heaven only investigates the guilt of Yelu Shou and his family, and the other ministers will be pardoned, everyone go home!" ”

The ministers cheered, the right minister Yelu Ruinu, the left minister Liu Xu, and the privy envoy Yao Jingxing stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness, how is the injury of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Yelu Hongtai shook his head, and said with a heavy face: "Although the arrow did not hit the heart, it pierced the left lung, and the injury of the Son of Heaven is very serious, and the imperial doctor said that it will take at least half a year to recuperate, and the body will slowly recover." ”

"That'..... What about the imperial grandson? Jerurenu asked cautiously.

supported the one-year-old imperial grandson Yelu Yanxi to ascend the throne, and Yelu Ruinu was also one of the masterminds, and he was afraid that Yelu Hongji would liquidate himself.

Yelu Hongtai knows that this Xiangguo is an old fritter, and if he is strong over there, he will fall there, and his reputation is unreliable, but now that Da Liao is in danger, he really can't be chaotic anymore, and he must stabilize the court.

Yelu Hongtai hinted at him: "I heard that Zhang Xiaojie's crime of fornicating with the Song Dynasty was exposed, and he committed suicide in fear of crime, and Yelu Yixin's fornication with the Song Dynasty is also conclusive, I believe that they have other crimes, you can collect it, the court needs to punish these traitors severely, and with the Zheng Dynasty Gang, everyone will share more worries for the Son of Heaven!" ”

Yelu Hongtai has already hinted very bluntly, and by blaming Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin for various crimes, the court will have a scapegoat.

The ministers immediately understood and resigned one after another, and their next step was to fabricate accusations, and even put Yelu Shou's accomplices in seizing power on Yelu Yixin.

…………

Soon after the time passed, the news of the loss of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo reached Shangjing, at this time, because Yelu Hongji was seriously injured, he ordered his brother Yelu Hongtai to supervise the country, preside over daily state affairs, and major military affairs should be reported to Yelu Hongji, and he will decide.

As for the little emperor Yelu Yanxi, because he is the only grandson of Yelu Hongji, plus he is young, only one year old, Yelu Hongji did not embarrass him, but let him continue to be the emperor's grandson, and then ascend the throne and succeed to the throne when he grows up.

The news that Liaoyang Mansion was completely captured by the Song army, Yelu Hongtai did not dare to tell his brother, but said that Liaoyang City was engaged in a fierce siege battle, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but because the disparity in strength was too great, it was estimated that Liaoyang City was in general direction, and Yelu Hongji was asked to be psychologically prepared.

Yelu Hongji didn't care too much about the situation in Liaoyang City, he knew that Liaoyang City would be captured sooner or later, if he could kill more Song troops, it would be the best, he hoped to break Liaoyang City and give the Song army a heavy blow.

Yelu Hongji was still recuperating in the palace, but he spent most of his time hiding in the inner study studying the map, and no one knew what he wanted to do?

It has been ten days since the Song army captured Liaoyang City, and the Liao army of the entire Tokyo Province has also been swept away, Fan Ning ordered to clean up the Buddhist temples, confiscate the assets of the major monasteries, close the monasteries, and order the monks to return to the laity, which is the advice given to him by the Han officials who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the monasteries of the Liao State are insatiable, not only eating empty of the treasury, but also forcibly seizing the assets of the people, and the people of the Liao State hate them very much.

Attacking the monasteries, since they can get a lot of money to supplement military spending, they can also get the support of the people, win the hearts of the people, and also allow monks to participate in the work, solving the situation of lack of labor, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Fanning took this suggestion and set his hands on the dozen prefectures and counties with the largest number of Buddhist monasteries, obtained a large amount of wealth and land, and converted tens of thousands of monks to the laity, which indeed won the warm welcome of the people of Tokyo.

Soon, Han Jiang took over the local government affairs of Liaodong, and Fan Ning led an army of 300,000 to Dading Mansion to join the 30 army of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Ji.

In August of the third year of Xihe, 600,000 Song troops met in Changxing County, where the Dading Mansion of the former Liao State was located, and the grassland north of the entire county became a sea of troops, and the big tent where 600,000 troops were stationed stretched for dozens of miles, and the momentum was extremely huge.

At the same time, the 150,000 troops of the Naiman Tribe, the Dadan Tribe, and the Lieshan Department of the Mobei Grassland converged at Pibeihe City to prepare to participate in the war against the Liao State.

These steppe tribes have no sympathy for the weak, they worship the strong, the weak are just their dishes, when the Liao State is now in decline, the major grasslands are ready to move, ready to eat the fat of the Liao State.

Yelu Hongtai came to the inner palace worriedly, he was led into the inner study by a eunuch, and he was a little stunned, only to see Yelu Hongji was engrossed in what was being drawn on a map?

Yelu Hongji's injury is slowly recovering, and the arrow wound is not completely healed, but at least he can read some books, and he can get out of bed and walk a few steps with the support of the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has an important military intelligence report!"

Although he didn't want to affect the Son of Heaven's recovery, the stakes were so high that Yelu Hongtai couldn't hide it anymore, so he still decided to report to the Son of Heaven.

"Is it the Song Dynasty Emperor who drove the expedition?"

Yelu Hongtai was taken aback, "Your Majesty knows?" ”

Yelu Hongji shook his head, "I don't know, but I can guess that this kind of thing of glorifying the ancestors and showing a generation of gods and brave kings, how can Zhao Ji let it go, he will inevitably drive the expedition in person, how many Song troops are there now?" ”

"Your Majesty, at least 600,000 Song troops have gathered in Dading Mansion, and they will soon launch a march to Shangjing, not only them, but also the Barbarian Department, the Dadan Department and the Lieshan Department are also eyeing us, I heard that the three of them are preparing to meet in the grassland, we are caught in the north and south, and the situation is extremely grim."

Yelu Hongji sighed slightly, "I have expected this day a long time ago, so I have been thinking about countermeasures, I have been thinking about it for half a month, and there is only one way to ensure the continuation of Daliao, and that is to move the capital." ”

"Move the capital?"

Yelu Hongtai was taken aback.
