Chapter 598: Mediation (1)

Gongsun Wuwu's guess was right, just as the three of them were talking, on the top of a small hill in the upper reaches of the Huang River, more than 20 miles away from them, there was a big tent, and the mountains outside the tent were heavily guarded, and the rangers were released ten miles away.

In the big tent, there were more than a dozen people sitting, and three people sitting on the north side.

One of the people in the middle is a middle-aged woman, well-maintained, looking as if she is only in her early forties, wearing a crown of emerald wind, inlaid with various colored gemstones, dazzling, magnificent, with pearls strung on both sides, hanging down on her chest; a pair of phoenix eyes, sharp eyes, aggressive, teaching people not to look directly; wearing a dark green robe, the robe is embroidered with gold thread with various auspicious patterns. This woman is Shu Luping, the empress dowager of the Liao State who has been the dominant Khitan for decades and whose prestige is comparable to Yelu Abaoji.

At this time, between Shu Luping's eyebrows, he rushed angrily, turned his face obliquely, and refused to look at Yelu Ruan, who was sitting next to her on his right side.

At this time, Yelu Ruan was wearing a dragon robe, with a golden crown facing the sky, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and like Shu Luping, Yelu Ruan was also full of anger. Although the vision is not as sharp as Shu Luping, it is as vast as the sea, but it gives people a sense of depth and elusiveness.

Jeluhonggu was also present, and was sitting on the left side of Shuluping.

On both sides of the big tent sat more than a dozen highly respected ministers of the Liao State, the leader of which was an old man, wearing a felt hat, with a white goatee, and a smile on his face. This tripartite meeting was initiated by him. The 100,000 troops he led will also play a decisive role in the great battle between Yelu Ruan and Shu Lu Binh.

"Why do the two of them quarrel with each other when they meet? After all, one is the empress of Emperor Taizu, the other is the eldest grandson of Emperor Taizu, the other is the Holy Grandmother, and the other is the grandson of the Holy Emperor.

"Hmph, the mourning family has nothing to say about this disobedience! Yelu house, as long as you say a word to the mourning family, do you help him or help the mourning family?" Shu Luping turned his head, and two sword-like eyes covered Yelu house, "Yelu house, should you forget Taizu's kindness and trust in you, and forget my son Deguang's value and entrustment to you!"

There can only be one emperor in Da Liao, the heir to the throne, and my son Deguang has already determined when he was alive, that is, Yelu Honggu, and no one else is qualified to be this emperor. ”

"Hahahaha!" Yelu Ruan didn't give an inch, and laughed, "The Empress Dowager seems to have forgotten that twenty years ago, Emperor Taizu had appointed the heir of the Khitan, why didn't the Empress Dowager execute the heir of Emperor Taizu back then?

Yeluqing's family, it's not that I, Yeluruan, must be this emperor, it's the people of Daliao who support me as this emperor, and it is Changshengtian who appoints me to rule Daliao. Yelu Honggu, what virtue does he have, how can he have this ability to govern the world?

Yelu Honggu, relying on the support of Yongwu and the Empress Dowager, is brutal and unkind, if the Great Liao falls into his hands, it is bound to be ruined by the people, and the soldiers are plagued one after another. He wants to be the emperor, first ask Changsheng Tianxu or not, the 200,000 army was beaten to the ground by my 60,000 forwards, and almost the whole army was wiped out, what face does he have to fight for the position of emperor of Daliao?

If he really becomes the emperor of my Great Liao, I am afraid that in a few years, the territory of my Great Liao will be defeated by him, and there will be few places left for millions of people. ”

Shu Luping sneered a few times and said: "In the world, how many people have not experienced a few defeats? How can you judge heroes by success or failure? If you win a battle, you can become an emperor, and then the emperor should not be you, Yelu Ruan." ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting. Yelu Wuzhi stretched out his arms, pressed down, and said, "The two of you should actually know very well in your hearts, and now in this situation, the two of you can no longer fight." If you continue to fight, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, the result will be the same. My great Liao, my Khitan foundation for thousands of years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Now the wolves are around, and it is not only the Tatars, Tatars, and Xi people who are staring at us, but once the Central Plains recovers, they will also send troops to sweep the grasslands. Even Goryeo, which has been subjugated to the foot of our Great Liao and has risen for less than 30 years, is equally ambitious, and may pounce on us at any moment to bite us.

Do you really want to watch the decades of hard work of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Xian fall apart, and my Khitan people are once again displaced, humiliated, and never come out?"

Shu Luping and Yelu Ruan Qi snorted coldly, but they didn't make a sound. They understood that what Jerod had said was not a lie, but a fact that they were likely to face.

The tribes of the steppe have never been loyal and reasonable, and the meek sheep that once crouched at their feet are likely to suddenly leap up when the old wolf is old, weak, sick and disabled, showing its sharp fangs, and deliver the final fatal blow. The Xiongnu were so powerful in those days, but who can still find a Huns in this vast steppe now? How arrogant were the Turks in the past, but where are there still Turkic people on the steppe today?

The truth on the grassland is that the weak obey the strong, and those with hard fists are kings and hegemons, and they can do whatever they want.

Whether it is Yelu Ruan or Shu Luping, they are already deeply rooted, and they cannot be killed with one fist, and the two tigers fight, and the final result can only be that one tiger is killed in battle, and the other tiger is seriously injured and dying. At this time, a cunning fox sprang out in time, and it was able to bite the seriously injured tiger to death in one bite.

Because of this, Yelu Ruan and Shu Luping agreed to Yelu Ya's request, and came here to mediate the dispute between the two. In the final analysis, they are all Khitans, and the prosperity of the Khitan tribe is where they are fundamental. If even the Khitan tribe doesn't exist, what else is the Great Liao Emperor? If the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached?

After being silent for a while, Yelu Wu continued to say: "The old minister thinks that neither of them wants to see such an ending, so he took the liberty of inviting the two of them to see if they could dispel this catastrophe." I wonder if the two of you are sincerely willing to accept the mediation of the old minister?"

Shu Luping took a long breath and said: "Yelu house, the mourning family can trust you, and you come to administer justice for the mourning family." ”

Yelu Ruan also said: "Yelu Qing family, I have never doubted your loyalty to Da Liao and my Khitan people, and I also believe that you can deal with it fairly. ”

Yelu Wuzhi stood up and arched his hand: "The old minister thanks the Queen Mother and His Majesty for their trust, but if you want the two to truly reach a reconciliation, the old minister asks the two to temporarily put aside their grievances and stop arguing, so that the minister dares to speak." ”
