Chapter 598: Mediation (2)

Yeluruan and Shu Luping glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and the two sides calmed down for the time being.

Yelu Wu cleared his throat and said, "Queen Mother, King Yongkang's heart knot Lao Chen understands, and all so many tribes are willing to support King Yongkang as the emperor, and Lao Chen also understands. One of the main reasons is because the empress dowager did not follow Emperor Taizu's testament and appoint His Royal Highness Yelubei, the crown prince of that year, as the emperor.

Lao Chen wants to ask the Queen Mother, when Emperor Taizu made Yelu Bei the crown prince, after Emperor Taizu died, the Queen Mother wanted to change Yelu Deguang as the emperor, why did the Queen Mother do this?"

Shu Luping hesitated for a moment, she did unreasonable in this matter at the beginning, and it was difficult to explain, so she had to say: "When Emperor Taizu was alive, he once said to the mourning family in private: Yelu is too heavily influenced by the Han people, and has developed many bad habits, and it is difficult to adhere to the nature of my Khitan tribe. Emperor Taizu feared that Yelubei, becoming emperor, would turn the brave Khitans into sheep like the Han Chinese.

The Mourning family renamed the second son Yelu Deguang as the emperor, and they also acted in accordance with Emperor Taizu's last wishes!"

Yelu Ruan snorted and opened his mouth to refute, but thinking of the promise he had just made to Yelu House, he finally didn't argue with Shu Luping.

Shu Luping's words are often untrue, Taizu Emperor Yelu Abaoji's words, except for Shu Luping himself, no one has heard them, the truth is difficult to distinguish, and it is not enough as the basis for her to change Yelu Deguang. However, after all, Shu Luping is Yelu Abaoji's wife, Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang's mother, and Yelu Ruan's own grandmother.

Everything is in silence, but it is up to those who hear to believe it or not.

Yelu Wuzhi turned around and asked Yelu Ruan: "It is a major matter of the country to ascend to the throne and become the emperor, why did Your Majesty do it without first reporting to the Empress Dowager and obtaining the consent of the Honorable Elder and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Yelu Ruan's face was angry, and he replied: "Back then, my father was supposed to inherit the throne, but because of this so-called elder who was holding hostage for personal gain, he was not allowed to stand for no reason, and was forced to go away to the Central Plains, so he died in a foreign land. Yeluqing's family, how can you tell me to trust such a venerable elder? She is not worthy of being a venerable elder at all, and I am not willing to report to such a venerable elder.

At first, I did want to go to Shangjing and determine who would inherit the throne through the Manchu civil and military ministers.

But I didn't expect that on the way, I came across a gang of horse thieves. Such an arrogant horse thief actually dared to gather a large number of soldiers and horses in my Daliao territory to assassinate me, the king of Yongkang. And the martial arts are strong, one of the horse thieves, a first-class master under my command, was killed by him in one face.

Yeluqing's family, tell me, such a horse thief, except for the Queen Mother, where else can you find it?

Excuse me, how can I report to her in this situation?"

After listening to the words of Yelu Ruan and Shu Lu Ping, Yelu Wu said: "At the beginning, the human emperor lost his status as the crown prince, and he never raised troops to fight, why does Your Majesty want to do what your father refused to do back then?"

As for the Queen Mother, even if Emperor Taizu had the idea of changing the crown prince, it was only a temporary idea, and it was not announced to the public, let alone implemented. In other words, Emperor Taizu still recognized Yelubei's status as the crown prince from beginning to end.

For the sake of her own selfish preference, the Queen Mother tampered with the last orders of the first emperor and gave artifacts in vain, why is she still unwilling to admit her mistake?"

Shu Luping's expression changed greatly, and Yelu's words seemed to be fair, but in fact, he had faintly fallen to Yeluruan.

Yelu Wu blamed Yelu Ruan, but blamed him for not raising an army against his grandmother, and did not say a word about Yelu Ruan's unauthorized claim to be emperor. This is to avoid the important and trivialize, which also means that Yelu Wuzhi believes that there is nothing wrong with Yelu Ruan's move to become emperor, and recognizes Yelu Ruan as the emperor of Da Liao.

On the contrary, Yelu Wu Zhen accused Shu Luping, but what he said was, "For his own selfish preference, he tampered with the last emperor's will and gave the artifact in vain, why is he still unwilling to admit his mistake?", which means that Yelu Wu did not recognize Shu Luping's move to establish Yelu Deguang as the emperor at all, and thought that the root of this matter was Shu Luping's fault.

"The mourning family is not wrong, isn't Yelu Deguang not good enough in the past twenty years?" Shu Luping said angrily. In the past 20 years, she has been full of her words, who has stabbed her in the face like this? Shu Luping couldn't hold back.

Yelu An, who was sitting on one side, couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "Empress Dowager, you just promised to accept the mediation of Lord Yelu Ya, and you said that you trusted Lord Yelu Ya, do you want to regret it at this time?"

Shu Luping's face sank, and he said: "Yelu An, the first emperor and the mourning family are not thin on you, why do you want to betray the mourning family?"

Yelu An sneered and replied: "Empress Dowager, have you forgotten that Weichen's father is Yelu Dieli, and the Ming people don't say secret words, may I ask what crime Weichen's father committed back then, and the Empress Dowager must put him to death? Not only Weichen, but also the hundreds of ministers who were forced to be martyred for Taizu by the Empress Dowager, what crime did they commit?"

Shu Luping was stunned, speechless for a while, now that she has lost her absolute advantage, and talking about those deceitful nonsense words will only backfire and provoke more betrayal. Shu Luping repeatedly gave her cronies and ministers a look, hoping that they would come out to speak for her.

However, in this case, Yelu Ruan and Yelu Wu joined forces, and the defeat of Shulu Ping was a foregone conclusion, and who else was willing to protect the former queen mother to the death, and bring disaster to himself and his own tribe? Those ministers bowed their heads and pretended not to see.

Yelu Honggu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shu Luping's secret eyes. Shu Luping understands very well that Yelu Honggu is more than brave, but in terms of scheming, he is not as good as Yelu Ruan, and even those ministers. If he speaks, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be caught and attacked, and instead of solving the siege for her, it will make things worse.

This is not a place where she can say anything in Beijing.

Shu Luping couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart, it turned out that when the matter came, even her cronies abandoned her for self-protection, and she was already a betrayal of her relatives. Could it really be that she was wrong?

Yelu Wu arched his hand and said: "The first emperor Yelu Deguang is a saint of heaven, eloquent and strategic, and has countless military exploits, for the rise of my Khitan tribe, dominating the world, it has indeed played an irreplaceable role, and the merit is great!

I Da Liao, the future life and death of my Khitan clan are now in the hands of the Queen Mother, please think twice!"

"Please think twice before you act!" the ministers in the audience persuaded one after another, including even Shu Luping's close ministers.

Seeing the betrayal and separation, embattled on all sides, Shu Luping was anxious and angry, ashamed and disappointed, closed her eyes, and two strings of tears dripped down her cheeks. After a long time, Shu Lu Fang said: "At the beginning, Taizu was rebelled by his brothers, the world was poisonous, and the sores have not yet recovered, how can the mourning family let Daliao suffer another rebellion?

Everyone's hanging hearts fell suddenly, and Shu Luping admitted his mistake, which means that the status of the ancient crown prince of Yeluhong is invalid, and a military disaster has finally been eliminated. All of you here are Khitans, who wants to fight in the same room?

Who knows, Shu Luping opened his eyes and said: "Yelu house, now the mourning family has admitted their mistake, and the mourning family has promised not to fight again, and the peace is over." The events of the past cannot be changed, and now, everyone should think about who the throne should be passed on!"

Everyone was stunned, what's the matter? Shouldn't the position of emperor be handed over to Yelu Ruan as a matter of course? What does Shu Luping mean by this?

However, everyone quickly figured out that Shu Luping was retreating, and she deliberately divided one thing into two things. Although Shu Luping admitted that she had done wrong back then, she promised not to meet again. However, she did not recognize Yelu Ruan's status as emperor. Whether Yelu Ruan should inherit the unification or not remains to be discussed.

Moreover, in this way, if Yelu Ruan waved his troops to attack Shu Lu Ping, he would be considered that the war was provoked by Ye Lu Ruan, which would inevitably arouse the disgust of all ethnic groups, and it would be even more difficult for Yelu Ruan's soldiers and horses to stand on Yelu Ruan's side blatantly.

Shu Luping is worthy of Shu Luping, so quickly thought of a way, even eliminated it, and with a few words, he unloaded the current obvious advantage of Yelu Ruan's troops.

Putting aside their respective positions, everyone secretly admired Shu Luping's reaction.
