The extremely human ministers are all human spirits, and they have already found out that this is a matter that Yelu Zhen and Yelu Anduan have discussed in private, although it is a bit surprising to let Yelu Ruan ascend the throne and become emperor first, but it is also reasonable. After all, Yeluanduan didn't need to make concessions, all he had to do was be shameless. If Yeluzhen wanted to stop the Khitan split, he would have to give in.

Yelu Anduan succeeded, Yelu Zhen also succeeded, Yelu Ruan succeeded, and the only one who suffered was Yelu Jing. Yelu Jing's throne was actually given to others, although this can prevent the internal division of the Khitan, there are too many benefits of this, in fact, the people who are willing to give in are the people who are truly loyal to the Khitan.

It was obvious that Yelujing was not such a person, but Yelujing nodded, and Yelujing had to obey. If he had to choose, he would rather let the Khitan split. But if that is the case, there will be countless casualties in the territory of Liao. Li Tang's defeat was precisely because of an Anshi Rebellion.

As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Perhaps there are many people who think that the Khitan only needs a few years to make up for these losses. But in recent years, the Khitan economy and military have not developed, but will continue to lag behind, but the powerful Liwei will make the Great Zhou continue to develop, even if Yelujing reunifies the Khitan again, he will not be able to compete with the powerful Liwei.

Yeluzhen's move to abandon the army and protect the commander was very good, just sacrificing some power and dignity, but it won precious time for the Khitan. Taking advantage of Guo Wei's fledgling, he once again showed him the powerful side of the Khitan, so that he could continue to advance south under the condition of ensuring the safety of the Liao State.

But...... Everyone can see that this method was not thought up by Yeluzhen, and the mastermind behind the scenes should be Master Zongxin. It's no wonder that Yeluzhen would rather use the seven yangs in the unique martial arts Jiuyang Burning Heaven Recipe as an exchange, maybe many people think it's not worth it, but in fact, Yeluzhen and even the entire Khitan have made a lot of money, and an incomplete martial arts cheats are actually exchanged for the long-term stability of a nation and a country, this method is fantastic.

In the same way, these ministers also considered Yelu Nguyen to be an emperor worthy of trust. Because he governed the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun very well, the largest income of the Liao State Treasury now comes from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, if there is no economic support from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, I am afraid that the Khitan Emperor will not even be able to raise soldiers.

Regarding this matter, there is also a letter to Zong. Because Zongxin's sentence 'winter wheat and spring ploughing' made the Khitan farming industry begin to develop, there is no need to worry about the shortage of cattle and sheep, as long as these grains are used properly, the Khitan will not only no longer starve to death, but also support the army to stay in the Central Plains for a long time. As long as there is enough tax revenue, Yelu Ruan will be able to send troops to the Central Plains.

Although this time it is not a good opportunity, you can take advantage of Guo Wei's just founding of the country to give him a dismount first. Then you can ask Guo Wei for more benefits, even if you can't break through Cangzhou for the time being, you can make Guo Wei and Fu Yanqing suffer a little.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Yelu Ruan, because he was the next Khitan emperor. But Zong Xin paid attention to another person, who was sitting behind Yelu Martyr, who should be a Han from the outside, and what was happening around him seemed to him to be unshaken, still sitting cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

This person is very strange, why did he sit behind Yelu Enemy Lie? This person is by no means a supporter, could it be said that he was a bodyguard invited by Ye Lu Enemy Lie? It seems that this person's martial arts skills are indeed not low, but if Ye Lu really wants to make a move, he has no choice.

In fact, if you take a closer look, this person is very handsome, and he is a middle-aged handsome guy with a decadent style, this kind of person attracts the attention of little girls. Zong Xin had never heard of this person in the rivers and lakes, what was the reason for him to become Yelu's bodyguard? Although he had never fought against him, or even seen him do it, Zong Xin could clearly feel that his martial arts were very high, and it stands to reason that people with this kind of martial arts should not be bothered about money.

Zong Xin slowly walked to this side, then turned around and walked to the side of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and then whispered: "Empress Dowager, the plan is going well, and you are ready to listen to the government at any time." ”

After saying that, Zongxin straightened up again. From the outsider's point of view, Zong Xin just saluted the Khitan Empress Dowager, but a very small number of people saw Zong Xin's mouth moving, although they did not hear his voice, but it was almost certain that Zong Xin reported something to the Empress Dowager.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao was very strange about this matter, and it was clear that she had no communication with Zong Xin, and she had only met twice. Why did Master Zongxin help him? Could it be that he was really for the sake of the Khitan? No matter how high Master Zongxin was, he was also a Han Chinese, so why did he let himself monopolize power?

Although Zongxin's current plan is to let Yelu Ruan ascend the throne and become emperor, but after that, Yelu Anduan will find a way to kill Yelu Ruan and then marry Yelu Jing, and at that time he has gained all the power, and he can cover the sky with one hand in the Khitan, and he can support his son to ascend the throne and become emperor. But in the end, the truth was revealed, and Yelu Jing ascended the throne as emperor......

However, during this period, Yeluzhen and Yelujing will have a blank time, at that time all the forces will be in their own hands, and even if Yelujing ascends the throne, he will not have any weight in his words, and the person who directly controls the Khitan national fortune is himself.

This plan is perfect, and of course Empress Dowager Xiao also likes it. It's just that Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't understand why Zongxin did this, what was the benefit to him, what was the benefit to the Khitan, or what would be the benefit to the Central Plains?

I can't figure it out, Empress Dowager Xiao really can't figure out Zongxin's intentions. Sure enough, it was a master who acted unfathomably, and Empress Dowager Xiao felt that this monk was too terrifying. Just letting Yelu Zhen form an alliance with Yelu Anduan to prevent the Khitan split is already very powerful, which is by no means something that ordinary people dare to think of, but Master Zongxin planned the next series of events, and his mind is too smart to be his enemy.

Yeluzhen slowly walked to Yeluruan's side, and then took out a bead the size of a finger from his bosom. Everyone stepped back and bowed deeply. Even the people who had been sitting just now had a change of movement, and in addition to a few special people present, including Yelu Jing, they had to kneel down to the bead.

This fire dragon ball seems to be surrounded by raging fire, but it doesn't burn in your hand, but it feels cold. In the eyes of the Khitan people, fire was originally a sacred thing, and this jewel naturally became a national heirloom. As for why this jewel is so precious, I'm afraid even the Khitan people themselves don't know.

"This is a Khitan heirloom, and I will collect it from Your Majesty. Jerujin got down on one knee and dragged the Fire Dragon Ball above his head.

Yelu Ruan held the Fire Dragon Ball in both hands, and then held the Fire Dragon Ball high above his head.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

The laws of the Khitan are so casual, where the emperor is, the national policy is there. Not rigid in form, not even without any premonition, when Yelu Ruan took the Fire Dragon Ball, he was the emperor of the Khitan.

Zongxin did not kneel because he was a monk and was not a Khitan courtier, so he did not have to kneel to Yelu Ruan. Empress Dowager Xiao did not kneel down either, because he was the Empress Dowager. Although the emperor's status is the highest, the queen mother is a direct elder, only the emperor kneels to the queen mother, and the queen mother returns the salute at most.

Happiness came too suddenly, I didn't expect Yelu Zhen to hand over the Fire Dragon Ball to himself so quickly. In fact, many people guessed that the Fire Dragon Ball was in Yelu Zhen's hands, because the corpse of the first emperor Yelu Deguang was brought back by him, but Yelu Deguang did not find this Fire Dragon Ball on his body.

Next, Yelu Ruan was busy, and the remaining ministers discussed national policies with the new Khitan emperor Yelu Ruan. At this time, Zongxin had disappeared, and few people even found out when Zongxin left. Before he left, he gave Yeluan a look, and Yeluanduan, father and son, immediately followed behind Zongxin, and after leaving the palace, they walked all the way through the alley and came to a very secluded place.

The moonlight was like water, and Zong Xin stood on the side of a silver lake with one hand behind him in his robe, admiring the moonlight while waiting for Yelu Anduan, the king of Khitan Ming.

"Master Zongxin's martial arts have improved a lot, which is really gratifying. Yeluan smiled and said, "It is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, exactly the same as your plan, and it is far smoother than this king thought." Yeluzhen turned out to be so compromised, it seems that for Yeluzhen, the survival of the Khitan is far more important than which emperor he supports. ”

Zong Xin said: "Of course~ How can there be a king without a country, but Yelu Zhen will not give up, he will wait until Yelu Ruan fulfills his promise and let Yelu Jing ascend the throne as emperor." But to be honest, if it really is true that when Yelujing is thirty-four years old, Yeluruan is almost old, and it will be beneficial to the Khitan if the two are replaced. Our Shenwu King may have comforted himself in the same way. ”

Yelu'an said, "Master Zongxin and King Shenwu have been together for nearly half a month, so I should have discussed this issue after practicing." Is Jerod really suspicious?"

"It's strange not to be suspicious. Zong Xin said: "Do you think Yelu is really a fool? He is the Shenwu King of Khitan, and he has long seen that you have the intention of killing Yelu Ruan, but Yelu Zhen is not angry because of this, but is very happy." If you really killed Yelu Ruan, then Ye Lu Zhen has a logical assistant to Ye Lu Jing to ascend the throne and become emperor, right?"

Yelu Anduan also noticed this problem, but Yelu Zhen still miscalculated, because their first target was not Yelu Ruan, but Ye Lu Zhen himself. Only by killing him can Jerianduan be at ease.

"Master Zongxin, when do you think it's best to do it?"

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me about this, I don't want to offend Yeluzhen." If you succeed in the assassination, of course all will be fine. If you fail...... I dare not imagine. ”

This is also the problem that Yelu Anduan is most worried about now, Yelu is really too high in martial arts, even if he does not have fire true qi in his body, even if he feels that he is nine out of ten...... Yelu Anduan still feels so dangerous, in case a mistake is caught by Jeruzhen, the person who died at that time will be himself.

This matter is too dangerous, and if there is no 100% chance, I really dare not do it.
