Zhao Guangyi died suddenly, such a thing can't be hidden, and if it is not handled well, it may cause chaos in the world.

However, this time Tong Jiuyang and Min Yijiang also arranged more properly, they had already communicated with the prime minister of the current dynasty, Lu Duan, so with Lu Duan, the prime minister, most of the ministers stabilized.

In fact, for Li Jilong and Wang Jien's rebellious intentions, Lu Duan, as the prime minister, is naturally aware of it, and now that the emperor has died, he naturally supports the crown prince Zhao Yuankan as the emperor.

In this way, Zhao Yuankan ascended the throne as the emperor, although the people in the court were still a little uneasy, but at least they were stable.

Huang Xiao met Zhao Yuankan, Tong Jiuyang and Min Yijiang in the imperial study.

After seeing Huang Xiao come in, Zhao Yuankan couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Xiaoyaohou, you are finally back!"

In fact, Zhao Yuankan is not very familiar with Tong Jiuyang and Min Yijiang, although he also knows that they are both people trusted by his father, so they are naturally reliable.

But when he faced the two, he was still a little uncomfortable.

Compared with them, Zhao Yuankan became more cordial after seeing Huang Xiao.

After all, Huang Xiao had a relationship with him before, and Huang Xiao was a horse master, and there was not much difference in age between him and him, so he was naturally closer.

The death of his father naturally made Zhao Yuankan feel a little at a loss, at this time, he urgently needed someone who could support him, someone he was familiar with, so that he could feel at ease.

"Lord Huangmen, I don't know what Senior Sun said?" Tong Jiuyang didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

Zhao Yuankan and Min Yijiang both set their eyes on Huang Xiao, and Zhao Yuankan also knew the identity of Sun Lao, so he naturally wanted to know Sun Lao's attitude.

"Senior Sun refused the position of national teacher. Huang Xiao said directly.

Hearing this, Tong Jiuyang's faces changed, if Sun Lao really let it go, the Great Song Dynasty would not have the strength to face Wulongfeng again.

However, Huang Xiao immediately continued: "Although Senior Sun did not agree to serve as a national teacher. But he won't let Wu Longfeng act recklessly. ”

"Really?" said Zhao Yuankan with a smile on his face.

No matter what, with Sun Lao on his side, then his heart is naturally a lot more steady.

"Senior Sun is also conditional. Huang Xiao said.

"No matter what the conditions are, you can agree. Tong Jiuyang said.

At this time, there is almost no room for bargaining on the side of the imperial court, even if Sun Lao proposes any harsh conditions, he has to agree, because no matter how harsh the conditions are, can they be worse than letting Wulong Feng control the Great Song Dynasty?

"It's not that you think it's as bad as you think. Huang Xiao shook his head slightly, then looked at Zhao Yuankan and said, "It's up to you to do this." ”

"Me?" Zhao Yuankan was stunned, although he is now the emperor. But I can't do anything by myself.

"It depends on how you govern the Great Song Dynasty and whether you work for the well-being of the people. If you care about the world and the people, then Sun Lao will naturally defend you, if you are mediocre, then don't say that Sun Lao will not help you, and I will not let you stay on the throne. Huang Xiao said lightly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuankan's face became a little solemn, and then he said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyaohou." You can rest assured, I will inherit my father's unfulfilled wish and make the world peaceful. If I'm stupid, you don't have to be polite. Kill me, I don't complain, that's more than innocent. ”

"Anyway, you can remember it yourself. Huang Xiao said.

"Now I'm relieved. Tong Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

The pressure that Wu Longfeng put on him before was too great. He was a little out of breath.

Now with Sun Lao's support, he is naturally a lot more relaxed.

"There's one more thing I have to tell you. Huang Xiao said again.

"What else is going on?" Tong Jiuyang looked at Huang Xiao with some confusion, but when he saw Huang Xiao's face a little solemn. I couldn't help but have a bad premonition in my heart.

"I'm afraid the Khitan will invade the frontier in the near future. Huang Xiao said.

"Khitan wants to tear up the agreement?" Zhao Yuankan said in shock.

"There is this possibility, the emperor has just died, and it is also expected that the Khitan wants to take advantage of the unstable situation to attack. In fact, you don't have to worry about this, Lord Huangmen. Five years ago, the Khitan also often invaded the border, but my Great Song defense was still more than enough. Tong Jiuyang said.

"Not a possibility, but a certainty. Huang Xiao knew that Tong Jiuyang probably didn't know about this yet, so he continued, "This time, if the Khitan sends troops, I'm afraid there will be 500,000. ”

"Five hundred thousand?!" Huang Xiao's words made Tong Jiuyang's eyes widen suddenly, and he asked with a look of disbelief.

"Even if there are not 500,000, I'm afraid it's not much different. Huang Xiao said, "This is what Elder Sun told me." ”

Huang Xiao knew that if this news came out by himself, Tong Jiuyang and the others would probably still have suspicions, but this was the news that Sun Lao got, so they had to face it carefully.

"How is this good, the army stationed on the border is completely insufficient!" Zhao Yuankan's face changed, "Moreover, in order to prevent Wang Jien's army in Chengdu from mutiny, a lot of troops have gathered around Chengdu, this~~~"

In this case, it may be too late to quickly reinforce the northern border.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, we have to concentrate all the troops that can be mobilized around Kaifeng and send them to the border immediately. If the Khitan army is allowed to drive straight in, the consequences will be unimaginable. Min Yijiang hurriedly said, "Over there in Chengdu, there is a dragon guard, and the three banners of the Yellow Gate Lord are assisted, plus Wang Jien has been captured now, there should be no danger to the army there." Now it is necessary to immediately order the troops stationed in the surrounding provinces of Chengdu to immediately go north to reinforce them, and it may be too late. ”

"Okay, okay, just do it, I'll ask Commander Min and General Tong for a while. Zhao Yuankan suddenly lost his bearings, after all, he had never dealt with such a major matter before.

Because Tong Jiuyang used to be the general of the Great Song Dynasty, but later he went into hiding, and now Tong Jiuyang is regarded as an unofficial and unemployed in the imperial court, and Zhao Yuankan still calls him a general in order to respect him.

"Da Song, you arrange it in time, I want to go to Khitan. Huang Xiao said.

"Are you going to Khitan?" Tong Jiuyang's expression moved slightly, and then asked, "Looking for Ling Tianya?"

Huang Xiao didn't speak, just nodded.

Zhao Yuankan then remembered, isn't Ling Tianya Huang Xiao's grandfather, if Huang Xiao goes over this time, maybe it will be possible to convince Ling Tianya. After all, Ling Tianya, the leader of the 'Thousand Demon Sect', was enough to influence the major affairs of the DPRK and China in the Khitan.

"Even if it's you, I'm afraid it won't be able to change Ling Tianya's mind. Although the old man was not very familiar with Ling Tianya, he also knew his stubbornness. Tong Jiuyang shook his head and said. (To be continued......)
