Chapter 864: Xiao Hui's confidence
Zhang Ao was naturally very happy about Xiao Hui's willingness to fight in the front, and someone would test King Qin's thoughts, which would make him safer. He didn't know that Su Shi immediately ordered him to contact King Qin, so he naturally knew that there would be no danger.
Let's not say that the Qin King Yelu Chongyuan in history really rebelled, let's just say that with Zhang Ao's identity, no one with a brain would dare to deal with it at will, otherwise this would be tantamount to offending Su Shi to death in the Dragon Empire, and not everyone could afford this consequence.
Qin Wangfu.
Xiao Hui's arrival surprised Yelu Chongyuan a little.
Speaking of which, the two have known each other for many years, but the friendship is not very deep, mainly both of them are selfish people, and it is difficult for people with the same personality to have real cooperation.
But considering the identity of the privy envoy of the other party's Southern Court, Yelu Chongyuan still met him in the main hall, and after the next person served tea and left, Xiao Hui's next sentence almost choked Yelu Chongyuan, who was drinking tea.
"Master Xiao, do you know what nonsense you're talking about?" Yelu Chongyuan stared at Xiao Hui with a very angry look.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, what the old minister said just now was from the bottom of his heart, what does that Yelu Hongji child know, and put the great responsibility of our Liao Kingdom in the hands of such a person, then our Da Liao will not be far from the death of the country. On the contrary, only by entrusting the heavy responsibility to His Highness can the Liao Kingdom regain its strength and move towards a more powerful land."
Xiao Hui said with a serious face. And after finishing speaking, in order to strengthen his sense of trust, he knelt on the ground despite the plop of his old face, bowed his head and said, "Xiao Hui is not talented, he is willing to be a pawn of His Highness, help His Highness achieve great causes, and do his part for the growth of our Liao Kingdom."
is saying such righteous words, it is really impossible for others not to believe it.
Especially Xiao Hui's own status is very high, and being able to kneel down to others at this time is obviously full of sincerity.
Seeing Xiao Hui kneeling in front of him, Yelu Chongyuan hesitated a little.
The first thing he considers is whether the other party is trying to deceive him.
But soon, this idea was rejected by him. Without it, the current Liao State is at the time of fighting against the great enemy of the Dragon Empire, and it is impossible to have civil strife.
If it was true that Yeluhonki had sent this man to test him, then his head must have been squeezed by the door.
Under the strong enemy outside, internal strife is definitely not the work of a wise man.
If it wasn't Yelu Hongji's meaning, it should be Xiao Hui's own meaning. It's just that how could he be so shrewd, how did he know that he would be rebellious if he didn't obey Yelu Hongji in his heart?
Could it be that I usually disguise myself well enough?
How could Yelu Chongyuan know that Su Shi was a person from later generations, and he was very clear about some major events, and he also knew more about him than others.
There were doubts in his heart, but Xiao Hui immediately came to the door, and he still decided to see what the other party had to say before making a decision.
"Lord Xiao, don't talk nonsense, Yelu Hongji is the crown prince appointed by His Majesty, and we, as courtiers, can only obey this order." Yelu Chongyuan suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and said with a righteous and righteous expression.
"Your Majesty King Qin, it's not that we don't obey Your Majesty's decision, it's really that this Yelu Hongji is too unruly to do things, this hasn't become the emperor yet, so he already doesn't like us old ministers, if one day, he really inherits the unification, will there be a way for us courtiers to live at that time?"
"There is an old saying among the Han people, saying that if there is an old man in the family, there will be a treasure. We, the old ministers, do things safely, and we are the pillars of stability in Daliao. But now, he is picking his nose at us, which will only chill the hearts of our old ministers, how can we conquer the hearts of the people, in the long run, everyone is in danger, the ministers will not be ministers, and the country will not be a country. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Daliao, please ask Your Highness to raise your arms and shout."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is wise and martial, has both ability and political integrity, and is regarded by His Majesty as the brother of the humerus, Song has a brother to pass on the position of younger brother, so why can't we Liao?"
"The ministers have the courage to implore the King of Qin to ascend the throne, so that they can truly conquer the hearts of the people and the move that everyone expects
It is also a blessing for the people of Liao."
knelt on the ground like this, and Xiao Hui's shameless flattery was sentence after sentence, and there was also a convincing attitude, which seemed to come completely from the bottom of his heart and from his heart.
As soon as these words were said, Yelu Chongyuan was a little fluttering.
There's no one who doesn't like to be listened to, and there's no one who doesn't want to be recognized by others.
Especially a minister like Xiao Hui, who is also more qualified, he can take the initiative to say this, which naturally makes Yelu Chongyuan very happy.
Don't say it, that's what he's always thought.
In his opinion, his brother Liao Xingzong is naturally wise and martial, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will not continue to grow in his hands. But once the royal brother is old, that round should also be his turn.
After all, in terms of qualifications, ability and ability, he prides himself on being not inferior to Yelu Hongji, a yellow-haired boy, on the contrary, he is more mature and better than the other party.
It's just that Liao Xingzong is still there, but he is not in good health and can't manage the government, at this time, it is indeed a little inappropriate for you to let him show his antipathy and oppose his nephew Yelu Hongji's ascension. In his mind, if this nephew still respected him as much as he used to, he would continue to watch. But once the nephew wants to show his fangs to himself after he takes the throne, then he will definitely not get used to it, and it will be overthrown.
The emperor takes turns, why not my family?
There was such a thought in his heart, but in Yelu Chongyuan's opinion, this is a very distant thing, and he only needs to have such a preparation, that is, everything has to wait until the best time.
What is the best time?
Yelu Chongyuan believes that the young and vigorous Yelu Hongji will not tolerate the greed of some old ministers, and once he wants to attack the old ministers, it will be when his opportunity to stand out will come. But I didn't expect it to be so soon.
Yelu Hongji just showed a trace of dissatisfaction with Xiao Hui, and this person actually took the initiative to come to the door and persuaded him to set up his own door.
Then the question arises, should he say yes or not?
"That's... Lord Xiao, this matter is very important, and it is not something that you and I can decide, but we need to think about it in the long run." Yelu Chongyuan hesitated for a long time and decided to test the other party again. If Xiao Hui came to him with a hot head, then this matter could only be done first, after all, such a big thing might hurt his life, and if he didn't have any preparation, it would never work.
Yelu Chongyuan still wanted to wait, how could Xiao Hui be willing to agree.
Yelu Hongji just gave him three days, and after three days he was going to release food, so it was tantamount to bowing his head, so what courage did he have to face the other party in the future?
Besides, his huge interests are at stake, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment. When Du looked at Yelu Chongyuan, he decided to add some chips, so he said: "Your Royal Highness King Qin, although this matter is a minister looking for His Highness, but in fact, there are many old ministers who have such thoughts, but they have not been found by Yelu Hongji, so it is inconvenient to come forward. This is exactly the genius of that little child, one by one, slow knife to cut the flesh, and when the others cry out in pain, it will be too late."
"The minister is not talented, willing to be the first person, and willing to contribute all the strength of the minister, Yelu Qingde is the general of the outer city, he has an excellent relationship with the minister, and he has received the favor of the minister in his early years, as long as the minister says a word, he must be willing to listen to the words of the minister, and it will also be under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness."
"Jerehim is one of your men?" Hearing this, Yelu Chongyuan was also shocked by it.
Yelu Qingde, just by looking at his name, knows that he belongs to the Yelu royal family, and is also deeply trusted by Liao Xingzong, otherwise it is impossible to hand over such a heavy task as guarding the outer city of the imperial capital.
It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of Yelu Qingde's position is far more important than Yelu Chongyuan. Without it, his own forces are mainly in the Zhongjing area, and he is a son and daughter of the local snake Sun family there, and the relationship is very good, which can be described as sharing glory and loss.
That is where Yelu Qingde's foundation lies, and it is also the place where he can really rely on, it is precisely because of the existence of the Sun family that he is very confident, and he can speak louder than others in the court
A few.
Similarly, it was precisely because Yelu Qingde's forces were not in Shangjing that Liao Xingzong kept him by his side and used it with confidence, without worrying about what moths he would come out of.
Yelu Chongyuan's strength in Shangjing City is limited, which is another reason why Xiao Hui took the initiative to mention it just now, and he will hesitate again and again.
It's just that he never thought that Xiao Hui, who usually looks a little incompetent, would secretly have such strength, and when this point was said, he couldn't help but be surprised, and even a little moved.
Yelu Chongyuan didn't speak, all this fell in Xiao Hui's eyes, he knew that there was a door, and immediately said with a heavy weight: "His Royal Highness King Qin, in fact, not only the old ministers, but also many people are dissatisfied with Yelu Hongji. For example, Yelu Angkor and others, who were scolded with the minister today, if His Royal Highness needs it, the minister can take the initiative to contact them, I believe that they must all admire His Royal Highness for a long time, and they will definitely be happy when they hear such a thing. Oh yes, and most importantly, in fact, the Dragon Empire also supports your Highness."
"Hmm. What?"
Yelu Chongyuan, who was listening carefully, immediately widened his eyes, and looked at Xiao Hui with an unbelievable look.
I already knew that there would be such a result, Xiao Hui was proud in his heart, but he said with a humble look on his lips, "His Royal Highness King Qin, I can't hide it, the reason why the minister has the courage to come to His Highness is also the reason why he communicated with the Dragon Empire first."
"This time, our Liao State intervened in the war between the Dragon Empire and the destroyed Goryeo, and in the final analysis, we were a little nosy. It's no wonder that the First Emperor of the Dragon is angry and wants to fight with our Liao State."
