Chapter five hundred and seventy first: the most favorable choice(1/2)
"Your Highness, have you gained anything?" Yelu Hongzhen asked with a smile.
Yelu Xian obediently moved a brocade stool for the other party, helped Yelu Hongzhen sit down, and said: "It's true that I have some experience. The teacher has never told me before that the livelihood of these ordinary people is actually related to my life."
Liao’s life and death are in danger.”
Xiao Chuo, who returned to the main seat and sat down, smiled and said: "Compared with Song Dynasty, we were very poor in the past. Speaking of which, we received a large amount of annual coins every year, but the money was still in our hands.
After it changed hands, the merchants of the Song Dynasty made money back. The people of Song Dynasty were rich, so they could use the money to purchase more armaments, build more Kaijia, bows and feathers, and feed more soldiers."
"The queen is right. The Song army maintained millions of soldiers and horses, and its military expenditure was beyond our reach. If they had no money, how could they afford it? If they had no money, they would still insist on it.
That would have aroused civil unrest in the country a long time ago." Yelu Hongzhen said.
"So, a country's major plan is not military, but economic!" Xiao Chuo touched Yelvxian's head, "I asked you to listen to this today. Do you understand this?"
"I understand!" Yelvxian nodded repeatedly: "With money, we can raise more soldiers, build more weapons, and make our army stronger. And if the court wants to be rich, the people must first be rich.
When people have money, we can collect more taxes."
Having said this, Yelu Xian seemed to suddenly realize: "No wonder you, Queen Mother, brought so many craftsmen from the Song Dynasty and gave them such good treatment. Even the farmers were not allowed to be harmed. But those scholars, beautiful young masters, please be more kind."
I don’t care. Just because of these craftsmen, can farmers create more wealth for us?”
Xiao Chuo laughed, wearing plain clothes and a beautiful face. This smile was really charming and stunning, even Yelu Hongzhen, who was nearly seventy years old, turned his head unnaturally.
"It's not that my mother doesn't care about scholars, but I am a scholar in Daliao, and I am not bad at all!" Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "Even in the past, there were many scholars from Song Dynasty who came to Daliao to take the imperial examination! You
Look at Governor Yeluzhen, is he a man of great learning? Is Mr. Sun Chun Chengyi a man of great talent?"
Yelvxian tilted his head and said: "But mother, my father once said that to govern a country, scholars are still needed. There are not too few scholars. And even in Nanjing Road, it seems that among the officials below, there are still some who can't read a single Chinese character.
Where's the basket basket? Didn't you tell it as a joke to me last time?"
"Of course there are not too many scholars!" Xiao Chuo nodded with satisfaction: "But these scholars we brought back from the Song Dynasty are only thinking about the Song Dynasty. If we don't let them suffer, how can they serve us?
What? Now, the Queen Mother will humiliate them severely and let them experience the sufferings of this world. They will know that life is not easy. When the Xian'er ascends the throne, it is just a matter of will to give them favors.
, at that time, these people will naturally be grateful to you, and it will be easier for us to use you."
"The Queen Mother is really well-intentioned!" Yelvxian nodded repeatedly.
Even Yelu Hongzhen was full of joy.
"Xian'er, it's time for you to practice calligraphy again. You go ahead. Your grandpa and I have some things to discuss." Xiao Chuo waved his hand.
"yes!"
The two of them watched Yelvxian skipping away.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. If he is still acting like this, the Queen should teach him more rules!" Yelu Hongzhen said.
"The temperament of a young man should be like this!" Xiao Chuo said: "Being an emperor before a man, he should naturally be steady and dignified. When he returns to the harem, he is just a twelve-year-old boy. If he wants to be relaxed, he should be relaxed. Only in this way can he be relaxed.
If you grow up healthily, you will not develop a intolerant character. If the leader of a country is intolerant, it will not be a blessing to the country."
"With the Queen's upbringing, the prince will become a great person!" Yelu Hongzhen said: "Then the Southern Dynasty also established a new emperor. I heard that he was also twelve years old, but he was the same age as Xian'er, but he was above this age.
I don’t think the other party can be as outstanding as Xian’er.”
Xiao Chuo slowly shook his head: "But that Zhao An has a master who is much more powerful than me. That person may be Xian'er's lifelong enemy! I only hope that in my lifetime, I can defeat him and truly unify him.
The world."
"The queen is afraid of Xiao Erlang?"
"My second brother and I grew up together, and no one knows him better than me. My parents are not good, and my eldest brother is not good either." Xiao Chuo said softly: "Uncle Huang thinks that I have great abilities, broad knowledge, and profound planning.
, What a pity, everything I know was taught to me by my second brother."
"If the queen is afraid, how can she possibly win this game?" Yelu Hongzhen frowned.
Xiao Chuo smiled: "In terms of ability, I am far behind my second brother, but now the cards in my hand are much better than his. This brings me and him back to the same level.
Yes, this is my confidence. Uncle Emperor, you came into the palace today and seemed worried. I heard that Lin Ping went to see you. Is there anything that embarrasses you?"
When Lin Ping went to see him, he naturally couldn't hide it from Xiao Chuo. Yeluhong really didn't feel dissatisfied and nodded: "There is indeed one thing that I want to ask you. Although I don't believe it, Lin Ping is so sure that it makes people feel sad.
concern."
"Uncle Emperor, it's okay to speak frankly."
Yelu Hongzhen hesitated for a moment before telling what Lin Ping said.
To Yeluhong's surprise, Xiao Chuo actually laughed.
"Queen, this is not a joke." Yelu Hongzhen was a little anxious: "From my original point of view, today's Daliao is indispensable for you, the Queen, and His Highness the Crown Prince cannot do without you. But if this edict is
If it really exists, it will be a big trouble. Lin Ping will definitely stick to this matter, and the grudge between you and him is simply irresolvable."
"It seems that the emperor is standing next to me, Luo?" Xiao Chuo stood up with a smile and filled the tea cup for Yelu Hongzhen.
"I'm not standing there!" Yelu Hongzhen shook his head: "I simply feel that if you follow Lin Ping, I'm afraid there will be civil strife in Daliao. Depending on your temperament, you must have something planned."
"Uncle Huang, Lin Ping is telling you that now is his only chance, right? Uncle Huang's prestige and the Pishi Army you brought back are enough to control the situation in Linhuang Mansion?"
"That's almost it!" Yelu Hongzhen nodded and said: "The edict is in the hands of Wanyan Bage. It is now hidden in the late emperor's mausoleum and guarded by a battalion of Jurchen soldiers. It will be difficult to deal with them. In addition, Wanyan Bage
When fighting abroad, it is easy to cause trouble, but it is easy to deal with Lin Ping."
Xiao Chuo laughed and saluted Yelu Hongzhen, but Yelu Hongzhen immediately avoided him.
"I'm just for Daliao!"
"Uncle Huang, I'm afraid Lin Ping has already publicized this matter to more people, and he is definitely not the only one who knows about it. If he follows the emperor's wishes and solves Lin Ping's problem, it will settle the matter.
But I’m afraid that I will suffer more criticism in the future, and in the long run, it will also be detrimental to Daliao’s government.”
"There is no better way." Yelu Hongzhen shook his head.
"First of all, I don't believe that the emperor would leave such a legacy. How I married the emperor is very clear to the emperor. For more than ten years, our husband and wife have been singing together, playing the harp and the harp. I can say that I can boast that Daliao can have many people.
Today, I, Xiao Chuo, deserve a share of the credit."
"Just one point?"
"So with the wisdom of the emperor, how could he destroy the Great Wall and cut off his limbs!" Xiao Chuo said decisively: "This so-called will that asked me to be buried must have been fabricated by Lin Ping. If there really was this so-called edict, it would be completely
Will Yan Bage go to encircle and suppress the Uugu enemy Liejunsi rebels so simply? Isn't he afraid that I will suddenly attack and kill people and silence them like the emperor's uncle said?"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course!" Xiao Chuo said decisively: "So, uncle, if Lin Ping wants to do something, let him do it! You can even call Wanyan Bage back. Didn't he say that ten days later will be an auspicious day, suitable for burial?
Okay? Okay, just do what he said. When the emperor is buried, in front of all the emperor’s relatives, relatives and important ministers of the country, open this edict and read it out!”
"The queen said this because the emperor gave you any instructions before his death?"
"Uncle Emperor, the Emperor was with me until he passed away. It was I who guarded the Emperor until he breathed his last breath!" Xiao Chuo said: "The reason why Lin Ping did this was because he had other reasons."
"He did this just because of his past grudge against you?"
"More than that?" Xiao Chuo sneered, turned around, took down a stack of files from the big eucalyptus, and said: "Uncle, this is the file on the rebellion of Yelu Xi and others that was just reviewed, but take a look, I
Dao Yeluxi was a person who had been imprisoned for more than ten years. There was so much energy coming from there to conspire and rebel, and he didn't move. He became a sensation and in a short period of time, the entire Tokyo Dao fell. If I hadn't been in the Jurchen Department
We have already made arrangements with Dading Mansion, I am afraid that the whole country of Liao Dynasty will be in chaos."
"Is it related to Lin Ping?" Yeluhong was really surprised.
"Isn't it just related?" Xiao Chuo said: "Everything was planned by Lin Ping. Our king of the South Campus knew that I would not let him go. For the sake of his own glory and wealth, he actually conspired to make Yeluxi rebel.
, after Yeluxi captured Liaoyang Mansion, the next step was Dadinghui, and he was in Linhuang Mansion to take care of it. If we hadn't responded quickly, we would have been separated from Xijin Mansion."
Yelu Hong was really shocked. He looked through the thick files carefully, and the more he read, the more angry he became.
The testimonies of Ye Luxi and others complement each other, and are even mixed with the testimonies of some important figures in the South Academy. It can be said that this file can fully prove Lin Ping's treason.
More importantly, Yelvxi is still in prison and can be dragged out to confront Lin Ping at any time.
"What a thief, how could Lin Jing give birth to such a bastard!" Yelu Hongzhen was furious.
"If there was no grudge against me, Lin Ping wouldn't have reached this point!" Xiao Chuo picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, "It's really hard to worry so much for him!"
"Since there is such conclusive evidence, why are the queen still hesitating? Why don't you arrest such a rebellious official and traitor?" Yelu Hongzhen said.
Xiao Chuo shook his head: "Uncle, after all, the Lin family is also a big clan in Daliao for hundreds of years. They are such a big family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. They are deeply rooted and their influence is intertwined. Moreover, Lin Jing and Lin Ping even established the throne for His Majesty.
I have made great contributions, and Lin Jing is His Majesty's teacher, and Lin Ping is His Majesty's senior brother. If I do it casually, I'm afraid I will be stigmatized by others, not to mention, Lin Ping has already slandered me in front of and behind. Now he
If you want to kill me by reading this edict before the emperor's burial, then I will use such a situation to let everyone recognize his true face. Only in this way can I kill him with one blow and leave everyone in the world speechless."
"Since the queen is so confident, I am relieved." Yelu Hongzhen nodded and stood up: "Then ten days later, I will recruit Wanyan Bage back?"
"Yes!" Xiao Chuo smiled.
"Then the old minister will resign!"
"Uncle, why don't you just have dinner in the palace? It's great, and you can also see if Xian'er's calligraphy has made any progress?"
"I really don't see what's good about this old minister. It's enough for His Royal Highness to have the queen to take care of him!" Yelu Hongzhen bowed in salute, then turned around and walked out proudly.
It was already dark when I returned to my home and read a book www.uukanshu.com.
Yeluji was called to the study, and when he heard his father's story, his face was deformed with shock.
