On the Prince's Mountain, drums were beating loudly and the sound of killing was loud. In the past few days, Yelu Zongyuan's soldiers had been running around continuously. Last night, in order to prevent being attacked by a sneak attack, they rushed up the mountain early in the morning and saw an unexpected miracle. The emperor actually appeared among the huge rocks that were impossible to climb. Go up and fight back when people's hearts are broken.

The troops of the Pishi Army had rested for many days, and while the soldiers were full of energy, they were fighting under the eyes of their emperor. They were like tigers. This was a fight with a determined outcome. Amidst the clash of swords, swords, shadows, and steel, there were rebels. The wailing sound of falling to the ground.

When the sun shines on Mount Taizi, the fallen banner of Yelu Zongyuan and the corpses of rebels covering the hillside all look so pleasing to the eyes of Yelu Hongji. Yelu Zongyuan and his son Yelu Hongxiao , were tied up together, and the father and son knelt together under two boulders. Under the scorching sun, the father and son looked at Yelu Hongji's figure on the boulder, and then had to lower their heads.

Yelu Hongji felt happy in his heart. After holding it in for so many days, he finally saw a good show that excited him. Although he was happy, he was still somewhat sad, so he stood up and walked into the tower.

"Your Majesty, are you tired of watching?" A guard whispered.[

The soldiers standing behind the king and holding flags asked the king: "Wang Xianren, why is the emperor not watching the battle?"

Wang Pang looked at the battlefield in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart. War is a bloody killing. He said: "The emperor's uncle made a mistake and the people of Liao killed each other. Even if this battle is won beautifully, the emperor will feel sad."

"Well, it seems that Wang Xianren still understands the heart of the king. It seems that we just feel happy when we win the battle." The guard also said with emotion.

Wang Pang stopped paying attention to them, and he stopped looking at the battlefield under the boulder. Wang Pang found a place with a good view and looked towards the south. Yuexia was about to give birth. It didn't matter whether he was a boy or a girl. What was important was Wang Pang could not stay with his beloved woman. At this moment, he knew that after this battle was over, he could leave this place, but he would not return to the capital of Song Dynasty, but would go further away. Thinking of this Wang Pang felt very melancholy in his heart.

The battle was over, and there was a lot of excitement under the boulders. There were soldiers sorting out the battlefield, throwing the rebel corpses on carts, and transporting them to the foot of the mountain to find a place to bury them together. Some were sorting out the scattered weapons on the battlefield; The horses and supplies were counted; tents were set up under the boulders and bonfires were lit. The smell of blood was lingering after the battlefield. If not dealt with in time, wild beasts would be attracted.

Xin Zan, Zhe Kejun and others also returned with soldiers, and also transported back various steel bars, fasteners, wooden boards and other items for building a ladder that can be used to climb the boulder. Everyone is busy with only one purpose, Welcome Emperor Liao down from the boulder as soon as possible.

These workers worked faster this time than last time. After all, they were much more proficient in assembly and disassembly last time, and they did not need extra time to prepare materials. They could climb the boulder before dark. The airs had already been set up for four or five battles. The speed at which they worked stunned the Pi Shijun and Imperial Guards who had just won the battle.

That night, the soldiers worked day and night. Torches were lit everywhere near the boulder on Taizi Mountain. There were dots of bonfires under the boulder. In addition, the bonfires lit in front of Emperor Yeluhongji and Wang Pang on the boulder formed a unique scene. The scenery lights up the entire night sky.

Yelu Hongji and Wang Pang each had their own concerns that night. Yelu Hongji's concerns were revealed by Wang Pang. Although he won the battle, he didn't expect that he was not very happy, not to mention the throne that his father owed him. It was finally his turn to repay the debt. The two of them drank wine in silence and looked at the busyness under the boulder.

Finally, Yelu Hongji spoke: "Wang Xianren, I think at this speed, we can go down tomorrow."

"Yes, you have wronged your Majesty by staying on the stone for several days!" Wang Pian let out a long breath. Thinking about this move carefully, he realized that he was no longer the emperor, but he did not give orders to the princes.

"Wronged? Haha, that's not to say grievance. It's just a bit lonely without singing and dancing, otherwise we would have been like gods these past few days. You see, these past few days, regardless of the secular world, we drink and talk every day, watch movies in the morning and watch movies in the evening Sunset. How can there be any grievance." Yelu Hongji said it sincerely. He thought it was rare for him to have a few days without being chased by the officials with memorials every day.

The king smiled and asked Yelu Hongji not to feel aggrieved. He asked Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, now that the crime of rebellion against the emperor's uncle has been established, I don't know how your Majesty wants to deal with it."

Yelu Hongji thought for a moment: "Alas! Aren't you going to ask about the lost treasure in Tianwang Temple? But after all, you are not an official of our Liao Kingdom, so it seems inappropriate for you to ask."

Wang Pang nodded and said: "Your Majesty can send someone to interrogate in detail. In addition, I suggest that Your Majesty send someone to invite Master Qisong, the abbot of Tianwang Temple. This way, it will be better to ask someone who is famous."

Yelu Hongji was in a dilemma when he thought about how to deal with the emperor's uncle and his son. After all, if his father Yelu Zong really kept his promise, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom should be the emperor's uncle Yelu Zongyuan at the moment, not to mention that the emperor's uncle also founded the Liao Kingdom. So many military exploits: "It's easy to talk about it, but it's just about the emperor's uncle's rebellion. If I kill the emperor's uncle because I can't bear it, the world will laugh at me for being unkind; if I don't kill him, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. Immortal Wang, If this matter happened in your Song country, how should you handle it?"

Wang Pangxin said that in the Song Dynasty, people with a little ability, especially military generals, had long been regarded as dead and had no chance of success, such as his mentor Di Qing. Looking at his current situation, he smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, I told you how Taizu of the Song Dynasty relieved the ministers of military power. Here is a story."

Yelu Hongji hurriedly said: OK! I will listen to Immortal Wang talk about the affairs of the Song Dynasty again today.

After that, he ordered the guards to bring some wine. When the guards heard that Wang Pang was about to tell a story, they all gathered around him. Wang Pang said: "I think that when Taizu Huangpao of the Song Dynasty was behind him, he was afraid of the ministers, so he decided to cut off the wine of Shi Shouxin and others. Military power. One day, Song Taizu went to court and all matters were discussed. When he was leaving the court, he said to Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, Zhang Lingduo, Zhao Yanhui and other leading marshals: "Ai Qing and others will stay behind. I will stay here tonight." Hold a banquet in the banquet hall, enjoy the bright moon with your ministers, and enjoy the joy of the king and his ministers.'"[

"Oh? What does Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin want to do?" Yelu Hongji asked curiously.

The king smiled and continued: "These are all generals who have been granted the title of Jiedushi. Some are subordinates of Chen Qiao who rebelled to support Taizu's independence, some are ministers who supported Taizu in the court, and some are sworn brothers of Song Taizu. When they heard that Song Taizu wanted to have fun with everyone, they were all flattered. That night, Song Taizu prepared countless rare delicacies, wines and delicacies. These ministers and Song Taizu sat around the table. Ancestor's face was full of spring breeze and he drank as much as he wanted. These people talked about the past and the present together, the sea and the sky were vast, and they were in high spirits."

Yelu Hongji nodded and listened: "It seems that Song Taizu of Song Dynasty is also an approachable king!" He sighed.

Wang Pang did not follow Yelu Hongji's words, but continued: "When the wine was almost gone, Song Taizu suddenly sighed and said: 'If I didn't have your support, where would I be today? Now that I am the emperor, but But I am not as free and happy as you. Ever since I received the Zen title, I have never had a good night's sleep.'"

The guards, like Yelu Hongji, listened quietly to Wang Pang's story. One of the guards couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

The king smiled and said, "That's right?! Everyone was surprised. When General Shi Shouxin heard this, he quickly left his seat and asked, "Why are you so worried, Your Majesty?" Taizu sighed again and said, "I and you guys We are all friends in need, so I might as well tell you frankly. I am often worried whether the emperor's throne will be secure." When Shi Shouxin and others heard this, they were surprised and worried, so they kowtowed to the ground and said: 'Why did the Holy One say this? Today, the country is unified, the status of monarch and ministers has been determined, who dares to have different intentions?'"

Wang Pang took a sip of wine and saw that several people were listening carefully with their eyes open, waiting for his next words. He continued: "Song Taizu said: I know that you are sincere and will not betray me. But if your subordinates If you are greedy for glory and wealth, once you secretly instigate a mutiny, although you don't want to do it, just like what I did with the Chenqiao mutiny, when things come to a head and it's hard to get off, it will be difficult to go against everyone's will."

The guards looked at each other. Yelu Hongji seemed to have realized something. He nodded: "Wang Immortal, please continue speaking!"

Wang Pang said: "After listening to Taizu's words, Shi Shouxin and others suddenly realized: It turns out that Taizu was worried about the military power in our hands. They have followed Taizu for a long time and know that Taizu is not only a He is a mighty and heroic man, and he is also a master of strategy. He is even more aware of his characteristics of those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against will perish. Since Taizu’s words have made it clear, if you don’t follow Taizu’s arrangements, you will definitely suffer unforeseen consequences. disaster."

So Shi Shouxin and others knelt down and cried on the ground, saying: "I am not as stupid as this, and I beg your majesty to show mercy and show you a way out." Taizu saw that these heroes were just as he expected, and they were so knowledgeable. He was very happy and said: "Life Hurry is really unpredictable. Therefore, while you are alive, accumulate more gold and silver and enjoy yourself in time, so that you will not waste your life and benefit your children and grandchildren. It is better for you to remove military power, buy more fertile land and beautiful houses, and have singing children and dancing girls, so that you can be happy day and night, and live your life well. .I will marry you as sons and daughters, and we will live in harmony with each other. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?!'

Shi Shouxin and other generals quickly thanked them and left happily. The next day, all the military commanders complained about their illness and asked to be relieved of their military power. Song Taizu played them accurately one by one. In this way, Song Taizu cleverly cut the pieces while talking and laughing over a glass of wine. Seizing these founding fathers' authority to command the Forbidden Army.

After the king finished telling the story, he raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's uncle respected himself as a soldier, and now he has made a big mistake. Your Majesty took this opportunity to relieve the emperor's military power, and spared his life because of his blood relatives. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?! Your Majesty It is wise to build twin towers on the boulder and release the military power when suppressing the rebellion."
