Xiao Chuo's hand shook slightly, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen, staining a large piece of the fold.

"I understand, go ahead!"

"Your Majesty, please rest early, don't overwork your body!" Beside him, the old eunuch bowed and bowed, took a few steps back, then turned around and left the palace.

He slowly put down his pen, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Sihai Tower.

Regardless of whether Yelujun is there or not, Sihai Tower is always brightly lit at night all year round.

After exhaling a heavy breath, Xiao Chuo walked out of the palace door.

Along the long corridor, Xiao Chuo slowly moved forward. From time to time, among the houses on both sides of the corridor, people came out and returned to the team accompanying Xiao Chuo.

"Mother!" A clear cry came from a side hall. Xiao Chuo turned sideways and looked in the direction of the sound. Yelvxian held a thick wolf hair in his hand and jumped up and down from the room.

Come out of the house.

"Is Xian'er practicing Chinese calligraphy?" Xiao Chuo asked with a smile, looking at Yelu Xian whose face was covered with ink.

"Yes, Queen Mother, this is the time for me to practice Chinese calligraphy. Queen Mother, let's see if my writing has improved compared to before. I feel much better!" Turning around and saying hello, a eunuch immediately shouted.

He came over holding a large letter.

"There is indeed progress, and the strength is much stronger than before!" Xiao Chuo praised, "How about you show it to your father?"

"I'm afraid my father will look down on me!" Yelvxian was a little afraid and shrank back.

Xiao Chuo smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Yelu Xian: "At your age, it is already rare to be able to write like this. Your father will only be happy and not angry."

Holding Xiao Chuo's hand, Yelu Xian walked past and said, "But since my father came back, he has never smiled once or praised me in front of me. Instead, he has scolded me several times."

"Your father is afraid that you will be proud!"

"But why isn't Queen Mother afraid of my pride?"

"Because you already have a very strict father, the queen mother must be more tolerant!" Xiao Chuo said: "Relaxation is the right way. This is what a person close to the queen mother told me a long time ago.

He said that when teaching children, you can’t just be indulgent, but you can’t just be strict either. You must be both lenient and strict, a blend of fire and water to cultivate a normal child.”

"normal?"

"Yes, Xian'er, normal is the vast majority, excellence is the exception!" Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "Of course, Xian'er, you are the exception."

"The Queen lied to the child again!" Yelu Xian looked much more relaxed, and his hold on Xiao Chuo's hand became slightly looser. "The Queen is going to see the father at this time. Is there anything important to discuss?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Then Xian'er might as well not go!"

"I'm going, Xian'er just wants to listen!" Xiao Chuo said: "You are the prince of Daliao, and you always need to learn how to govern. It is rare for your father to stay in Shangjing for a period of time every year. Such an opportunity,

You can't miss it. Your father is the most powerful emperor in the world."

"Where's the one in Bianliang?" Yelvxian raised his little face and asked curiously.

"That's just a foolish king. Sooner or later, he will ruin his country!" Xiao Chuo said coldly.

Feeling Xiao Chuo's sudden change of mood, Yelvxian immediately shut his mouth.

Just across the road from the Imperial City is the Lin family's house.

Like any place, the place where you live actually represents a person's status. The closer you are to the king, the naturally it represents his degree of honor.

Half leaning on the soft couch, Lin Jing slowly drank ginseng soup, and Lin Ping, who was sitting in front of him, was telling Lin Jing about his experience in Bianliang this time.

Lin Jing was not too concerned about the changes on Hebei Road and around Bianliang. He just raised his eyebrows when he heard Lin Ping talk about meeting the new Yunnan pacification envoy Luo Gang who left the capital and took office.

"The Southwest Third Road has actually escaped the control of Bianliang." Lin Jingdao: "The real controller is Erlang of the Xiao family. This will be a big variable in the future."

Lin Ping didn't take it seriously: "This time, we joined forces with the Song people to kill the eldest son of the Xiao family. The second son of the Xiao family is far behind his eldest brother."

Lin Jing stared at his son for a long time, then slowly shook his head, "You are wrong about this!"

"Father, do you think that Xiao Erlang is more powerful than Xiao Dalang?" Lin Ping was puzzled.

"Not only this, I want to say that your judgment of the entire current situation is wrong!" Lin Jing shook his head and said: "You are so boring as the king of the South Campus."

"What do you mean, father?" Lin Ping sat up straight.

"Xiao Chuo is not a drunkard." Lin Jing sighed: "This time, she really deceived everyone in the world! The three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family are more powerful than the other. Even though that old guy Xiao Yu died a coward,

, but he gave birth to such three amazing children, which is enough for him to boast in front of the King of Hell."

Listening to Lin Jing's words slowly, Lin Ping's face became increasingly ugly.

"Don't be dissatisfied. With this plan and scheming, Xiao Chuo, the queen of Daliao, is extremely qualified. In the history of Daliao, there is no queen who can benefit the country like her.

Already." Lin Jing said calmly.

"I am the King of the South Campus, and she actually lied to me!" Lin Ping said angrily: "Just treat me as a gunman. Don't I have the right to know the truth?"

"Xiao Chuo is very malicious towards you!" The wrinkles on Lin Jing's face deepened: "There is no doubt that Yelu Zhen and Qin Min must know about this matter."

"Of course they know, otherwise how would this plan be implemented?" Lin Ping said dullly.

Lin Jing took a deep look at Lin Ping, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth slightly lowered, obviously dissatisfied with his son's reaction.

Looking at his father's appearance, Lin Ping was startled, but his mind suddenly reacted like lightning, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Have you thought about it?" Lin Jing said: "Yeluzhen is your majesty's direct confidant, but on this matter, Xiao Chuo communicated with him without reservation, but your majesty had no knowledge before this.

.His Majesty didn’t know about it until after the entire plan took shape.”

"Xiao Chuo has already dragged Yeluzhen to her side!" Lin Ping said in horror.

"It's hard to talk about it, but Yelu Zhen is completely different from Yelu Hu." Lin Ping said: "The reason why he defected to His Majesty, who was not favored by others, without hesitation was because he felt that His Majesty could make Daliao more beautiful.

Powerful. And now His Majesty’s health is not good, and he doesn’t know when he will die. He..."

"If he thinks Xiao Chuo can keep Daliao strong, he will join Xiao Chuo!" Lin Ping said.

"Xiao Chuo has proven her ability to Yeluzhen. Although the prince is studious and intelligent, he must be too young, and he is too deeply influenced by the queen. Once His Majesty suddenly leaves one day and the prince takes the throne, the queen will definitely supervise the court!

"

"Then our Lin family will die without a burial place!" Lin Ping let out a breath.

"Otherwise, why would I go into the palace and be the prince's teacher when I'm so old?" Lin Jing said.

Lin Ping's face looked extremely ugly.

The death of Xiao Yu and his wife was not due to personal hatred, but for the sake of the country. But now, Xiao Chuo has put the hatred on his head, and he has nothing to say.

"We can no longer let the prince follow Xiao Chuo. Father, your majesty is still obedient to your words. Why don't you tell your majesty that the prince is getting older and needs to go out for training, and let the prince follow your majesty to the four seasons to pray for alms. The prince must be young after all.

After a while, you will naturally distance yourself from Xiao Chuo."

Lin Jing shook his head and said: "This is unlikely. His Majesty is not in good health and will not let the prince leave Zhongjing."

"Father, we can't sit still and wait for death, right?" Lin Ping said. "If Xiao Chuo's plan is successful this time, her arrogance will become even more arrogant, and more people will fall to her."

Lin Jing raised his hand, waved it, and said: "Be your King of the South Campus and fully cooperate with Xiao Chuo's plan to implement it smoothly. The next things will definitely not be hidden from you, the King of the South Campus. Because the next thing is

The implementation of this plan will all be presided over by His Majesty. Pingzhi, remember, don't think about making trouble, His Majesty can't get the sand out of his eyes. His lifelong dream is to destroy the Song Dynasty and unify the world.

.Now that his health is not good, Xiao Chuo has worked hard over the years to plan and layout, and finally completed all the preludes to this plan. Whether he can realize his dream depends on this blow. If you ruin this plan, use

If Xiao Chuo doesn't take action, His Majesty will destroy you."

Seeing Lin Ping's unwillingness, Lin Jing said: "How long can I survive?"

"Father, our Lin family is loyal to Daliao, and our father and son are even more willing to sacrifice themselves for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, are you just going to ignore us like this?"

"You are wrong!" Lin Jing said: "Your Majesty's intelligence is not inferior to that of any sage in the history of the Liao Dynasty, so there are some things that you don't need to worry about. All you have to do is to do your duty as a minister."

"I understand!" Lin Ping nodded. "I will go all out to do this well. If it is really successful, I, the king of the South Campus, should be able to go down in history even if I die!"

"It's good if you think about it!" Lin Jing lay down and said, "Go ahead, I'm tired and want to take a nap!"

Lin Ping stood up, tucked his father in, turned around and walked out of the room gently.

Outside the door, the moonlight was just right. Lin Ping raised his head, took a deep breath, and strode outside.

From today on, I will live in the government office until this matter is completed.

In the Juma River, on several pontoon bridges, countless people dragged their children, carried burdens, and led their livestock. Driven by the soldiers, they set off on the road away from their hometown with tears at each step and back at each step.

journey.

It's been five years.

Originally, they heard that the Liao people were going to return these lands to the Song Dynasty, and they were all happy. However, what they never expected was that they would move away next. They heard that the place they were going to was far away.

The capital of the Liao Kingdom.

Whether to go or not to go is not up to them at all.

Before moving them away, no news came out from the Liao people. After the order was issued, the Liao army had already blocked all escape routes. There were only two roads in front of them.

Either go!

Or die!

A total of 30,000 households, nearly 100,000 people, were forced to embark on the migration journey.
