An old man and a young man walked down the winding stone path.

The older one holds the younger one's hand.

"Did you cry again last night?"

"Second Grandpa, I'm not crying." The younger one raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, but his expression was extremely stubborn.

"If you cry, just cry. I'm a man, and I've never done anything I dare not admit!" the old man said calmly.

"I didn't cry, I just shed tears!" The younger one lowered his head.

The old man was startled. He didn't expect such an answer. After thinking for a while, a little smile appeared on his lips. "So that's it!"

"That's it!"

"Your father is the best emperor today, and he is also one of the top three emperors in the history of the Liao Dynasty for hundreds of years. You are his son, so you should not fall short of his ambitions."

"Second Grandpa, my grandson understands!"

"Have you seen all the great aspirations stated on the monument erected by your father on the mountain?"

"I saw it."

"He has already accomplished the first few things, and there is only one last thing left, which is the great rule of the world. I leave it to you!"

"My grandson will definitely not disappoint his father."

"very good!"

The old man smiled happily.

The old man and the young man are called Yelu Hongzhen. He is the uncle of Yelu Jun and the younger brother of Yelu Hongde, the previous emperor of the Liao Dynasty. He was also the marshal of the Liao Dynasty. Although he retired long ago,

He still had great prestige in the Liao Kingdom.

The younger one is naturally Yelvxian, the son of Yelujun and the new emperor of Daliao who is about to ascend the throne.

Now, he is only twelve years old.

"Second Grandpa, I'm tired. Next is the Juxian Pavilion. Let's sit there before we go!" Yelu Xian said as he saw Yelu Hongzhen holding his knees and panting.

Yelu Hongzhen smiled and rubbed Yelvxian's head. This grandson is indeed smart and discerning, and he also knows how to take care of others. He is even better than Yelujun looked when he was a child.

Speaking of this, Yeluhong really felt that he really needed to thank Xiao Chuo.

Yelujun has been wandering around the vast territory of Daliao, suppressing, not to mention educating children, and basically leaving all internal affairs to Xiao Chuo.

At first, old people like Yelu Hongzhen were very dissatisfied with this, but they couldn't resist Yelujun's insistence and had no choice but to follow Yelujun's wishes. However, people like Yelu Hongzhen also stared at Xiao at the beginning.

Yelu Hongzhen, who never stopped retreating, was ready to catch Xiao Chuo at any time, as long as he got the handle.

But what happened later proved that their worries were unnecessary.

Xiao Chuo did an excellent job, even better than the previous emperor.

The power of the Liao Kingdom is booming, especially the conflict between the Han people and the Khitan people, which was well reconciled by Xiao Chuo. The Liao Kingdom is getting richer and richer, and the treatment of their old people is getting better and better. Those hidden crises,

They were resolved one by one by the couple calmly.

Yeluhong was really relieved.

He felt that he could enjoy his old age in peace.

But I never expected that Yelujun would die like this.

After capturing the city of Tokyo and capturing Emperor Zhao and Song, he died like this.

The news Lin Ping brought back made Yelu Hongzhen dubious, so he had to go out again and go to Daoxijin Mansion in Nanjing in person.

Lin Pingyan said with certainty,

Wanyan Bage locked himself in the military camp, and even if he came to the door, he would avoid seeing him.

Lin Ping walked around on Shangjing Road,

The entire Shangjing Road is really about to experience a storm.

But Yeluhong really knew that few old guys like him in Shangjing Road believed Lin Ping's words.

Because Xiao Chuo has brought so many benefits to everyone over the years,

Whether it's economic or political.

Xiao Chuo is a good choice.

If she is willing to be a helper.

Yelujun died, he was old, and Yeluxian was still young.

However, what should Yelujun do if he really left such a will?

Brother Wanyan locked himself in the military camp without seeing anyone. Was he protecting this decree?

If there is such a will, it must be with Brother Wanyan.

At present, only the Pishi Army Camp can ensure Wanyan Bage's arrangements. If he really dares to show his face, Xiao Chuo might send someone to take his life. This is not a strange thing.

"Second Grandpa, sit down!" Yelvxian supported the old man and said.

"Do you know who your father built this pavilion for?"

"Of course I know, it was built for Grandpa Lin. He is my father's teacher. My father once told me that without Grandpa Lin, he would not be the emperor!"

Yeluhong really laughed: "At that time, there was indeed a person who seemed to be closer to the throne than your father. Your father, you and Grandpa Lin stayed here in Xijin Mansion for seven or eight years, working hard and alone.

, After years of planning, we finally overthrew King Jing of Zhao and Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and destroyed the Hebei border army, so that our great enemy of Daliao was completely defeated. Only then did today’s Southern Expedition succeed!”

"Grandpa Lin is a very good man." Yelu Xian thought for a while and said, "But Second Grandpa, why did Lin Ping say bad things about the Queen Mother in front of me? He said that the Queen Mother would come back with an army and would use

If the army comes to threaten me, I will become a puppet of my mother, and my life will even be at risk in the future."

"Lin Ping is also thinking about you. After all, that woman is not your biological mother!" Yelu Hongzhen said with a smile: "Lin Ping is also a loyal minister. Ah Xian, you know, if you want a country to be good, then you must

It’s better to have different voices in the court!”

"Are you telling me not to kill Lin Ping?" Yelvxian raised his head.

Yeluhong was really shocked: "You want to kill Lin Ping?"

"Why not? His malice towards the Queen is very deep!" Yelvxian nodded. "Whoever dares to harm the Queen will be killed by me."

Yelvhong looked at Yelvxian in shock. He never expected that Xiao Chuo was so important to Yelvxian that Yelvxian would say such a thing.

"What if your mother really returned with a large army as Lin Ping said?" Yelu Hongzhen asked. "You have to know that now more than half of the army in Daliao is under the control of your mother.

She can do whatever she wants, even if she doesn't let you be the emperor but does it herself, she can do it."

Yelvxian thought for a while and said: "No. Over the years, my mother has been teaching me how to be a good emperor."

"That's because my father is still here."

Yelvxian shook his head: "Second Grandpa, facts speak louder than words. I believe you will see the results soon!"

"I hope so!" Yelu Hongzhen nodded.

Speaking of which, he hoped so too.

Xiao Chuo's reputation in the Liao Kingdom is too high now, not only among the people, but also in the officialdom. Her strength is also extremely strong. As Lin Ping said, I am afraid that there will be a war in Daliao soon.

There was civil unrest.

This really hurts my head.

Of course, if the edict that Lin Ping mentioned was really there, things would be much easier to handle.

But looking at Yelvxian's appearance, Lin Ping would definitely not be able to kill Xiao Chuo, and letting her stay in the harem would be a good choice.

But without that edict, how to save Lin Ping's life is another big problem. How could Xiao Chuo allow Lin Ping to live?

Not to mention the personal grudges between them, Lin Ping's activities in Shangjing this time were enough for Xiao Chuo to kill him a hundred times.

Lin Ping can’t die either!

He is Lin Jing's son, and Lin Jing is his only friend.

Lin Ping was the king of the Southern Academy of Daliao, and he also had real talent and learning.

More importantly, if Xiao Chuo is still in power, having a person like Lin Ping in the court can also give Yelvxian more protection.

After all, I won't live much longer.

But it seems that Yelvxian hasn't understood this truth yet.

After resting for a moment, when the old man and the young man stood up again, several people below were flying towards them.

They climbed up the stairs quickly.

"What's the matter?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.

"Marshal back to the capital, your highness the prince, the southern expedition army has crossed the Juma River. Except for General Yeluzhen's personal army and the Pishi army, the remaining Han army, Touxia army, and tribal army have crossed the river.

, and have already begun to disband and return home.”

"Second Grandpa, what do you think I said?" Yelvxian's face showed a look of relief: "I knew it was like this."
