After Yelu Ruan was assassinated in Huoshendian on Xianggu Mountain in Guihua Prefecture, Shu Luping, the empress dowager of Liao State who was hiding in Guihua Prefecture, immediately appeared and won the allegiance of various tribes of Liao State. Shu Luping publicly announced that Yelu Deguang's eldest son, Yelu Jing, was appointed emperor. Yelu Ruan has died, and Shu Luping's prestige and power are unmatched, so no one opposes her decision.

In September of the fifth year of Tianlu, Yelujing successfully ascended the throne and changed the fifth year of Tianlu to the first year of the calendar. Although the original emperor of Liao and the empress dowager Shu Luping were not in harmony, but Yelu Ruan had died, and the dignity of the Liao State could not be lost, Yelu Jing issued an order to bury Yelu Ruan in the Liao Xian Mausoleum, and said that the filial piety and Emperor Zhuangxian, the temple name Sejong.

At the beginning, Yelu Honggu, Yelu Ruan, and Yelu Tiande competed for the throne of Liao, but in the end, the throne fell to Yelu Jing, who was not favored by many people.

After Yelujing ascended the throne, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty hurriedly sent people to congratulate him with heavy gifts. The two families continued to form alliances, and Liu Chong, following the example of Yelu Ruan, made the Liao Emperor his uncle (a little stronger than Shi Jingjiao), and was canonized by the Liao State as the Emperor Shenwu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Chong continued to ask Yelujing for help, hoping that Yelujing could help him restore the Central Plains.

However, after the assassination of Yelu Ruan, the vitality of the Liao State was further damaged, and it was no longer able to invade the Central Plains on a large scale. Therefore, Yelujing did not agree to Liu Chong's request to raise troops to the south, but only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to help Liu Chong defend the twelve states in Hedong.

After Yelu Jing succeeded to the throne, Shu Lu was peaceful, and after three years, he laughed three times without a problem, and collapsed in the palace of Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao State. He was buried in the ancestral mausoleum with Yelu Abaoji, and was later renamed Empress Chunqin.

On the way back to the Central Plains, Li Fengyun learned from Yan Wushuang's mouth that the reason why Nineteen came to Liao with Yan Wushuang to assassinate Yelu Ruan was because Nineteen was actually Guo Wei's person, and he secretly did a lot of things for Guo Wei. This assassination of Yelu Ruan was related to the safety of the Central Plains, so Guo Wei arranged for Yan Wushuang and Nineteen Yi to come to Liao to secretly help Li Fengyun.

The reason why Yan Wushuang didn't tell Li Fengyun in advance was entirely because Nineteen thought that there were some festivals between him and Li Fengyun, and if he told Li Fengyun, there would be many branches.

Li Fengyun snorted secretly, full of doubts about whether Nineteen was really loyal to Guo Wei. Not to mention everything arranged by the Nineteenth in Miaojiang, just talking about the death of Guo Wei's whole family is quite suspicious.

Since Nineteen is Guo Wei's person, then the assassination of Liu Chengyou in Kaifeng City was not successful, but the killing of Liu Chengyou's concubine was most likely planned by him, and this unsolved case is very similar to Nineteen's style. Nineteen arranged for someone to assassinate Liu Chengyou, deliberately provoked Liu Chengyou, and did not evacuate Guo Wei's family in the city, which is very thought-provoking, at least showing that Nineteen is not completely loyal to Guo Wei.

Could it be that Nineteen is actually doing things for Guo Rong?

Li Fengyun was full of doubts in his heart, judging from the results of this matter, Guo Rong benefited the most. Guo Wei's two sons were killed by Liu Chengyou, leaving only Guo Rong, the adopted son, if Guo Wei has an accident, then the most likely to inherit the throne is Guo Rong.

Guo Rong's original name was Chai Rong, and he was the nephew of Guo Wei's wife, Empress Chai, not Guo Wei's blood relative. And Guo Wei also has a nephew named Li Chongjin, who is also a well-known general, and Li Fengyun has also met him.

In terms of blood relationship, Li Chongjin is closer than Guo Rong and Guo Wei, but Guo Rong has been adopted by Guo Wei since he was a child, and the so-called biological relatives are not as good as adoptive relatives, emotionally speaking, the relationship between Guo Rongyun and Guo Wei is only much stronger than Li Chongjin. In fact, Guo Wei has also been vigorously cultivating Guo Rong.

If Li Fengyun was Guo Wei, most likely he would also choose Guo Rong as his heir to the throne. This is not only because Guo Rong and Guo Wei have a relationship between father and son, but also because Li Chongjin is just a fierce general and is not suitable to be an emperor, at least Li Chongjin's influence on Li Fengyun is so.

If the truth is really as Li Fengyun guessed, then Guo Rong's scheming is really terrifying. Because it is impossible not to tell Guo Rong about the assassination of Liu Chengyou by the Nineteenth Operation, otherwise he has done so many things, and Guo Rong does not know, wouldn't it be flattering for the blind to see, what is the point? Nineteen is by no means the kind of person who is willing to make wedding dresses for others.

Li Fengyun suddenly remembered that Su Yunong told him a story.

Su Yunong told him that there was a bird called the dove that did not brood eggs and did not feed its young, and when it was about to lay eggs, it would lay its own eggs in the nests of other magpies, but it would take one of the eggs laid by the magpie bird. So the magpie will work hard to hatch the young birds of the dove and feed them to grow up.

However, the first thing the dove did when the young birds came out of the eggshells was to squeeze the young magpie birds and the young birds that had not yet hatched out of the nest one by one by relying on their large size.

The poor magpie worked hard to raise the dove's young, but he didn't know that his children had been killed by the young bird.

That's why there is such an allusion, called "the dove occupies the magpie's nest". (Note 1)

Thinking of this, Li Fengyun couldn't help but shudder, the sinister nature of people's hearts was too difficult to speculate.

returned to Dingzhou, Yan Wushuang didn't stay long, and left. Seeing that October 15 was coming, Li Fengyun temporarily decided to retreat for half a month, after all, the five decays of heaven and man in his body were still hidden dangers, and if it suddenly occurred on October 15, the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, although he didn't have any interest in the gold-inlaid jade seal, he was still willing to take it if he could get it. Even if the so-called luck theory is unreliable and spreads, at least the people's hearts will fall to his side, not to mention that they may win the help of Xuanyuan Tai.

At present, it seems that among the various forces competing for the gold-inlaid jade seal at the top of Mount Tai, after Ye Luming and Xiao Qirui join forces, if Li Tianyao is added, there are a total of two peerless masters and a first-class top master, in contrast, it is the Liao State that is the most powerful and most likely to win the gold-inlaid jade seal.

The second is the Yonggu Palace, and the Yonggu Palace has Lu Jinghong, the Yonggu Palace Master and Du Ruyue, if the Yonggu Palace Master and Du Ruyue have not stepped into the realm of peerless masters, then it is a peerless master, and two first-class top masters, it is also very likely to seize the gold and jade seal.

On Guo Wei's side, there are Yan Wushuang and Nineteen, with a peerless master and a first-class top master, and it is also possible to seize the gold-inlaid jade seal.

Only Li Fengyun is here, he is alone and there is only one peerless master, and it is difficult to seize the gold-inlaid jade seal.

As for the other forces, Mo said that they had seized the gold-inlaid jade seal, and they were not even qualified to participate in the competition for the gold-inlaid jade seal.

The half-month retreat time is actually very short, and it is impossible for Li Fengyun to make his strength go further. Li Fengyun could only be used to cultivate the Great Shift of the Qiankun and suppress the five decays of heaven and man in his body, so as to avoid a sudden attack on the top of Mount Tai at that time.

I don't know if Senior Brother Lu Jinghong Lu has started to practice the Northern Spiritual Skill now, if he has already cultivated the Northern Spiritual Skill, and at the top of Mount Tai, he suddenly found that his martial arts could not be half of it, I don't know what he would think.

Li Fengyun secretly speculated to himself, although Lu Jinghong knew that Li Fengyun had the five decays of heaven and man, he didn't know that Li Fengyun's five decays of heaven and man were caused by the cultivation of the Northern Spiritual Skill.

Note 1: Modern research shows that this is how the cuckoo raises its offspring, whether the dove in the "dove occupies the magpie's nest" or "the dove occupies the magpie's nest" or "the dove occupies the magpie's nest" is a cuckoo, the dragon really does not know, but it can be seen from this that the ancients' observation of nature is no worse than that of modern people.
