Lin Ping looked at Ye Lujun who was standing tall on the bed, his eye sockets couldn't help but feel sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

I used to be such a person with strong opinions, but now I have become like this.

"Pingzhi, what's so sad!" Yelujun was extremely open-minded and said with a smile: "Although my life is short, it is glorious. Except for the founder of the country, the achievements of other ancestors can't compare with mine.

Oh! I have no regrets in this life. This is much better than living for eighty or ninety years but accomplishing nothing."

"That's what I said, but I always hope that your health will be better. Daliao cannot live without you right now!" Lin Ping wiped away his tears and tried to calm down.

Ye Lujun said: "This is not certain. Daliao will still be Daliao after leaving me, or maybe it will be better in the future. I have done what I want to do, and let future generations do the rest.

, the same thing."

Lin Ping's expression changed slightly and he said: "Your Majesty..."

Yelujun let out a breath: "Pingzhi, do you want to tell me about the queen?"

Lin Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, you and I are both monarch and minister, and we are as close as brothers. There are some things I must say out, not only for the sake of Daliao, but also for the future of Xian'er."

Yelujun nodded slightly: "Go on."

"How long does Your Majesty think your body can last?" Lin Ping asked.

"I don't know, maybe ten days, or a year and a half, but in short, the bull-headed horse-faced man is probably already waiting for me with a sword and chain!" Yelujun said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, over the years, you have completely delegated power to the Queen, allowing the Queen to control the power of Daliao effortlessly. Now in Daliao, many officials and localities only know the Queen and not Your Majesty!"

Lin Pingdao.

"Even now, I have never regretted delegating power to the queen!" Yelujun said calmly: "Pingzhi, ask yourself, how has the queen done in terms of domestic affairs over the years? In terms of integrating domestic parties,

How well does she do in balancing the interests between the Han people and the Chinese people?"

Lin Ping sighed: "Yes, she did a good job."

"If it hadn't been for her, there wouldn't have been this southern expedition, and naturally there wouldn't have been the victory that destroyed the Song Dynasty!" Yelujun said with a smile: "You can't just think about harvesting the fruits without thinking about what you need for this victory.

The price paid.”

"Your Majesty, if you are in good health, I will naturally not say any more nonsense!" Lin Ping said: "But now that your body is like this, you may return to the west at any time. Once you go, there will be no one in this world.

Who can check and balance the empress? The prince is young, and he is extremely dependent on the empress! Your Majesty, when the time comes, will the surname of Daliao be Yelu or Xiao?"

"Be at ease, wait a while, Bage and Yeluzhen will come over! Let's talk about it together then!" Yelujun said.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that you have already made arrangements?" Lin Ping beamed with joy.

Yelujun was noncommittal.

After a while, Wanyan Bage and Yeluzhen arrived one after another, and sat around Yelujun on small round stools.

"You three are my loyal ministers of the Liao Dynasty, and also my most trustworthy brothers!" After taking a breath, Yelu Jun said: "I really never thought that in my lifetime, I could really destroy Zhao and Song Dynasty and dominate the world.

Having accomplished this, I will die with peace of mind. At the moment, although Zhao and Song still have half of the country in the south, it is a snake without a head. Although there will be twists and turns in our next strategy for the south, it is estimated that the general trend will not change."

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until you feel better before talking about this?" Brother Wanyan said solemnly.

Ye Lujun waved his hand and said: "I don't know when my body will be gone, so I'd better make arrangements as soon as possible. Lin Ping has always been worried about one thing. If I die, no one will be able to control the queen, so Xian'er

Becoming a puppet, with Xiao Chuo's ability, she can indeed do this easily. Now that I am still alive, there are already many people gathered around her."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Yeluzhen looked at Yelujun with obvious shock.

Yelujun nodded: "If I go, I will leave a legacy and let Xiao Chuo be buried with him."

"Your Majesty, Daliao has never allowed a queen to be buried with her. Is this what I'm afraid of?" Yeluzhen's face turned pale.

"There is no precedent, so why not set a precedent?" Yelujun smiled and said: "I love Xiao Chuo very much, and even after death, I am not willing to be separated from her. If she loves me wholeheartedly, she will naturally not refuse.

Go hand in hand with me!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Are you worried that once this order is issued, the world will be unstable?"

"Yes!" Yeluzhen said. "The power around the queen is no small matter."

"The people who gather around the Queen are generally divided into the following categories. One is the generals like Yelumin who follow her wholeheartedly and only dance with her baton. The other is the Youyan like the Lu family.

The Han family, because of Xiao Chuo's existence, their political status has been greatly improved. The third is some Khitan nobles, because Xiao Chuo can bring them huge benefits. Except for the first type, the other two types of people can be resolved.

"

Yeluzhen frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the 50,000 Shushan Army is comparable to the 50,000 Pishi Army. Once there is a change, I am afraid it will be an earth-shaking disaster."

"Of course I have arrangements for this!" Yelu Jun said calmly: "By taking Tokyo and destroying the inheritance of Zhao Song, the army will continue to sweep southward. Yelu Min's Shan army is the vanguard.

The troops are here.”

"This is no problem, it's easy to arrange!" Yeluzhen nodded.

"As for me, it is basically impossible for me to make it back to Zhongjing. In my opinion, there is only a 90% chance that I will die in the Zhaosong Palace!"

"Your Majesty!" Several people were a little sad.

"Don't be sad, life and death are ordinary things. Every one of us has been going through waves all the way to death since birth. This is a circle. It starts from one point and finally returns to that point. The difference is that some of the circles can be drawn faster.

Some, some draw slower. The queen once told me that we cannot extend the length of our lives, but we can broaden the width of our lives. I think I have done it."

Yelu Jun lay calmly on the bed, looked at several of his ministers, and said: "After my death, you immediately ask Fu Ling to return to Shangjing. Remember, it is Shangjing, not Zhongjing. At this time, Yelumin's army is most likely still there.

Expand the battlefield to the south, but on his way back, there is a King Zhao!"

"Cui Ang?" Brother Wanyan was a little disdainful: "I'm afraid this person is no match for Yelumin."

"He is not good at fighting, but he is an expert in conspiracy!" Yelu Jun said with a smile: "And Qu Zhen beside him is also very experienced in military affairs. Cui Ang and Yelu Min had a father-killing relationship.

Therefore, if there is a chance, Cui Ang will definitely kill Yelumin. At that time, Cui Ang will never be able to let Yelumin return, which will isolate the queen's biggest support. "

He sat up with some difficulty, took out a small box, and handed it to Wanyan Bago beside him.

"Bago, take this box with you and find an excuse in two days to go back to Shangjing!"

Brother Wanyan stood up and took the box with both hands.

"In the box is my last edict, and all the final arrangements are written in it!"

"Yeluzhen, Lin Ping, you two, although one is Han and the other is Khitan, you are both well-educated. Over the years, the queen has worked hard to bridge the gap between the two races, taking advantage of each other's strengths and making up for the shortcomings of the other.

It can be said that the effect is excellent. You two must cooperate closely in the future. As long as there are no problems within us, Daliao will be invincible in the world."

Lin Ping and Yelu Zhen also stood up and stood with their hands down.

"The prince is young. You two will be my Tuogu ministers from now on. Together with Bage, the basic situation is stable. I also believe that you two have the ability to calm down the remaining unstable factors. With the great righteousness,

Because of their status, they dare not say anything more. You can also give them the benefits that the Queen can give them!"

Hundreds of thousands of Liao troops gathered in Tokyo City,

Should we continue heading south, or stop here?

"The army's intention is to strike while the iron is hot and make a big push." ​​Yeluzhen looked at Queen Xiao Chuo who was busy writing after the big case, with a complicated mood.

"They think things are too simple!" Xiao Chuo shook his head, "If we continue to fight south, the obstacles we will encounter will become bigger and bigger day by day, and it is impossible for His Majesty's body to hold on. The Generalissimo also

I have seen His Majesty, and I can’t say when His Majesty will pass away. If we continue to go south and this bad news suddenly comes out, I’m afraid it will be extremely detrimental to the morale of the army."

Yeluzhen nodded: "It's just a matter of military morale, so it would be a bit unwilling to give up."

"Sweep the capital!" Xiao Chuo said: "Generalissimo, in the following days, our most important thing is to sweep the surrounding areas and plunder the wealth, as well as all kinds of craftsmen and technicians. These are the top priority."

"Some people say that the queen doesn't want to go further south because your second brother is there in the south!" Yeluzhen suddenly said.

Xiao Chuo smiled slightly: "Generalissimo, do you know what my biggest wish is now?"

Yeluzhen shook his head.

"Earlier, my biggest wish was to flatten the city of Tokyo and capture the Zhao family alive. Now that I have achieved this wish, my next biggest wish is to defeat my second brother!" Xiao Chuo laughed:

"What does the Generalissimo think of my abilities?"

"I've only seen this in my life." Yeluzhen bowed and said sincerely.

"My second brother taught me this!" Xiao Chuo said: "So my biggest wish next is to completely defeat my second brother. If I can defeat my second brother in my lifetime, then I can say it in front of him.

, Second brother, I am better than my elder brother, how happy I must be! You don’t know that since I was a child, my second brother has been the one I look up to. I once thought it would be impossible to catch up with him in this life."

Yeluzhen said in surprise: "I always thought that the person you admire most is Mr. Xiao."

"No, a big part of the reason why General Manager Xiao became General Manager Xiao is because of my second brother's plan. My second brother is best at doing these things." Xiao Chuo said with emotion: "Big brother

Marshal, you may not know that I went out to meet two old friends two days ago. One is a shopkeeper of a restaurant. He was scared to death, but he still wanted to stab me to death with a knife. The other was so old that he couldn't stand still.

Even though he was dead, he still dared to stand in front of me and scolded me angrily."

"Didn't the empress kill them?"

"What's the point of killing?" Xiao Chuo said: "I told the Generalissimo these two things just to tell you that it will become more and more difficult in the future. Our war to win over Zhao and Song Dynasties in a flash is basically over.

, Next, it will inevitably enter a long-term confrontation stage. Our Liao army is not used to the soil and water of the south, and cannot stay in the south for a long time. The rest will have to be completed by those who surrender to us."

"Use Han people to control Han people!" Yeluzhen said.

"That's right! Only they know them best. All we need is the wealth and technology of these places." Xiao Chuo said: "Cui Ang and the others will definitely suffer several big defeats after we leave.
To be continued...
