Yelu Hongji couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Xia's imperial concubine was born in the martial arts, and her martial arts are extremely high, and she established the Yipintang to gather martial arts masters. She had suffered a great loss at the hands of Master Chen, and she was very afraid of Master Chen. There is another thing, the minister's wife is the sister of the concubine of Emperor Xia. ”

"Ahh There is still such a relationship! ”

Yelu Hongji asked: "It's just a national matter, how much effect can their kinship have?" ”

Yelu Hongji was born into the royal family, and he paid the least attention to this kind of kinship, and in the face of the vital interests between countries, was this relationship reliable?

Xiao Feng said: "Your Majesty, there is not only a simple relationship between them, but also the tilting between martial arts masters, Xia's imperial concubine is the master of the fearful ministers." ”

Yelu Hongji is the emperor, how can he understand that the royal people are afraid of a Jianghu person?

Yelu Hongji asked, "What can you do if you don't listen to your master?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "The martial arts of the Xia Emperor Concubine are extremely high, above the minister, but the minister's master wants to kill her, it is as easy as a hand." ”

Yelu Hongji was shocked, is Xiao Feng the concubine of Emperor Xia? Is this a warning to yourself?

Xiao Feng didn't know the shock in Yelu Hongji's heart, and continued: "Liaoxia joins forces, even if he can really destroy the Song Dynasty, and even the emperor of the Song Dynasty can be killed, but the master of the minister will not be in any danger, but at that time, if he wants to settle accounts with Xia, even if he pours out the strength of Xia and the whole country, he will not be able to protect anyone that the master wants to kill." What's more, the minister thought that if Liaoxia really joined forces, he would not be able to destroy the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the minister was worried that Xia would not attack Song at all, but would only join forces with Song to attack Liao. Xia fought for money, Song was a lot of money, and with sufficient supplies for Song logistics, Xia's army was no less than Liao. ”

Yelu Hongji was silent, and Xiao Feng was also silent, giving Yelu Hongji enough time to think.

Yelu Hongji was not thinking about who Xia would unite with, but asked, "If Liao attacks Song first, will your master come to kill me?" ”

Xiao Feng was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to think about this matter.

Xiao Feng shook his head: "No, Master won't do such a thing." If he would do this, how could he allow his ministers to be the official of the Liao Dynasty? In fact, the master only has an idle position in the Song Dynasty now, teaching a ten-year-old prince the art, and he has no chance to interfere in this kind of national affairs. ”

Yelu Hongji was stunned again, and wondered: "Back then, he could still send an envoy to Daliao, why was he still less and less important?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Originally, the master had been released as a party to Zhizhou, but the minister suddenly became the king of the Southern Courtyard of Daliao, and the relationship between the minister and the master, the minister and the master did not hide it, so the master was temporarily affected by the minister, and the Song court did not dare to reuse him." ”

Yelu Hongji was overjoyed: "The Southern Dynasty does not reuse your master, I can reuse it, if you take your master to Daliao, I will also treat it as a teacher, entrust me with important tasks, and I will have it at my fingertips when the time comes." ”

This time it was Xiao Feng's turn to be stunned, how could this Sichen keep up?

Xiao Feng flatly refused: "Impossible, it is impossible for Master to come to Daliao." Chen, the master's family, is very wealthy, has an ocean-going fleet, monopolizes the ocean-going trade on the sea, and the wealth is so huge that it may not even be comparable to the royal family. He didn't want to be an official, he just wanted to be an idle cloud and wild crane, but because his old father was obsessed with the imperial examination, Yanping Huang did not have a champion, and the master had to participate in the scientific examination in order to comfort his father, and he won three yuan at the thirty-eighth o'clock and became the first champion of the Huang family. Master is not greedy for power, and can return to his hometown at any time. In fact, even if the war starts, he is just an idle job now, and it has little to do with him, just because Youchen, a disciple, is involved, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to stay out of the matter, and the minister does not know how much energy he has. ”

Huang Shang's experience is too mysterious, which makes it difficult for Yelu Hongji to understand and accept it for a while.

Yelu Hongji suddenly thought, could it be that Xiao Feng didn't want to attack the Southern Dynasty, so he deliberately made up such an outrageous person and coaxed himself with words, right?

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "Brother, you don't want me to go south? ”

Xiao Feng heard the meaning of Yelu Hongji's words, and said: "The minister really doesn't want the Liao and Song Dynasty to go to war, and the war will be ruined. But the minister's main concern is that Da Liao may not be as smooth as His Majesty thinks, but this is just the minister's idea. If His Majesty insists on going south, he will not be able to trust the minister, remove him from the post of king of the southern court, and choose another high-minded and trustworthy minister, and the minister will never give up. ”

Xiao Feng gave everything he could, and all the choices were given to Yelu Hongji.

Xiao Feng was outspoken and put distrust on the table, which made Yelu Hongji, who was used to rounding things in officialdom, also a meal.

Yelu Hongji believes that Xiao Feng is loyal, and if he is in trouble, Xiao Feng will definitely come forward. But in the matter of the southern invasion, it is obvious that Xiao Feng's attitude is negative, but it cannot be concluded that he has two hearts.

After all, Xiao Feng grew up in the Southern Dynasty, he is familiar with the Southern Dynasty, but he is unfamiliar with the Khitan, and it is reasonable that some feelings are difficult to give up

Yelu Hongji thought about it again and again, and said loudly: "Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, listens to the seal!" ”

Xiao Feng bowed his head and obeyed.

Yelu Hongji said: "Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard, is loyal to the country, is the son of the Emperor, and is the king of Song, and commands the three armies with the generalissimo of Pingnan, and admires this!" ”

Yelu Hongji did not dispel the intention of the southern invasion, and the entire Liao State began to dispatch troops.

The military movements of the Song Dynasty could not be concealed from the Liao, and the military movements of the Liao could not be concealed from the Song Dynasty.

When Emperor Zhao Xu was not at war, he was full of sharpness, and he was actually preparing for war when he was training, and he had no intention of going to war immediately. The Song army is not weak by one or two, nor can it be changed by one or two.

However, as soon as the Liao State moved, the war was already close at hand, and Zhao Xu still inevitably gave birth to the blessing of tension, which was really the battle of Song and Liao, and the bravery of Taizu and Taizong did not take advantage.

He deposed the old party and restarted the new party, but these people were a little numb in the face of the powerful Liao State, and they did not approve of a war with Liao.

It's a pity that it's not as simple as Song's own training of generals now, you can stop by stopping, and now Liao has already moved, and Song has to follow if he wants to move or not.

At this time, someone remembered Huang Shang, a champion who was idle because his disciple was a senior official of the Liao State.

Huang Sheng was idle because it was from the hands of the old party, not that the new party felt that he should not be idle, but that when Huang Shang was idle, it was the old party that was in power.

It's not that Huang Shang should be reactivated, it's just that once the war starts, his disciple will be the commander of the Liao side, and he can't stay out of it.

Zhao Xu privately summoned Huang Shang, which was also the first time Huang Sheng met the emperor.

Huang Shang's grade is usually not enough to meet the emperor, he has only seen the first emperor, that is because he is the champion hand-picked by the first emperor's imperial pen, and the first emperor still values him very much. This emperor has been on the throne until now, and he is a puppet, and it is not his turn to see who he wants to see or who he does not want to see.
