Chapter 750: Westbound
As Xiao Chuo said these words, the temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply. Everything seemed to be frozen at this moment. Bang
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Yelvxian's forehead, but his whole body was cold.
At this moment, he really regretted coming up the mountain.
At this moment, he truly realized what it means to kill someone with a knife, and to kill someone else.
Life and death, honor and disgrace, are all in human hands at this moment.
So what if there are thousands of troops outside, on this mountain, in this room, Xiao Chuo only needs to say a few words, and everything will be stopped in an instant.
Behind him, Yelu Hongzhen coughed lightly, breaking the cold silence in the room.
"Queen Mother, the emperor has absolutely no such intention. Otherwise, how could he come to see you alone? They say that the royal family has no family ties, but the emperor is sincere and filial to you. With all due respect, the emperor has no blood connection with you.
It's really unusual for a relationship to be like this. As for me, a dying person, I actually don't care about the Queen Mother. This time I came here, I also tried my best to show off my last old face. Queen Mother, when you met
Even though I, an old man, have gone through so many hardships for you, I have done my best for you! Over the years, even when the Queen Mother has lowered her curtain, the old man has not felt sorry for you at all!" "Bang!
Xiao Chuo chuckled: "The emperor is indeed a person who values affection and righteousness, but this is also the result of my careful teaching for many years. I have a clear conscience about the emperor's teachings. Whether it is a person or a political administration, he can do it well."
It’s said to be extremely excellent.”
"This is obvious to everyone in Daliao, so the old man also felt grateful for the Queen Mother, so he dared to show his shame. Although Yelu Longxu and the others did something a little outrageous, they did not dare to say a bad word about the Queen Mother, no matter in front of or behind them! The most outrageous thing.
They just think that the Queen Mother’s philosophy of governing the country is not in line with theirs. But Queen Mother, before Yelu Zhen’s failure, they did not slack off at all. Queen Mother, I never believe that Yelu Zhen was killed by Yelu Longxu.” Yelu Hong.
Zhen spoke intermittently, coughing as he spoke, Xiao Chuo waved his hand, and a eunuch knelt down behind Yelu Hongzhen and gently stroked his back.
"If he dared to say a word of disobedience, he would be dead by now!" Xiao Chuo said solemnly. "As for who killed Yelu Zhen, as the emperor's letter written in blood arrived in the hands of Yelu Yixin,
It’s not important anymore.”
Suddenly, Yelvxian's body, which had just calmed down, started shaking again.
"Of course, this is not a mistake!" Xiao Chuo waved his hand: "I actually want to see what you can do in this game of chess. Overall, your performance is pretty good.
That’s right. Such an emperor of the Liao Dynasty may be able to survive the attack of the Song Kingdom for a longer time in the future!”
"Queen Mother!" Yelu Hongzhen's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
"You actually have only one thing to do when you go up the mountain today, and that is to ask me to withdraw from the curtain and return to power, right?" Bang
Yelu Hongzhen didn't speak. He turned to look at Yelu Xian.
The Queen Mother is not an ordinary person, and if she plays the role of a filial son and grandson at this time, she will look down on her and be counterproductive.
"Yes!" Yelvxian swallowed and raised his head bravely: "My son is eighteen years old! Under the guidance of his mother, he is no stranger to governing the country. In fact, many government affairs,
The queen mother has left her son to handle it."
The more he spoke, the bolder he became and his fluentness became more and more fluent.
"Mother, this time Jianghuai was defeated, Daliao was greatly damaged, and it was time to change course. However, when national policy changes, someone must be responsible for previous mistakes. Therefore, in the long run, mother will withdraw from the curtain and return to power.
, this is the best time! It is also the thing that everyone in Daliao takes for granted. In this way, state affairs can be smoothly transitioned, and the relationship between our mother and son can still be as usual."
Xiao Chuo looked at Yelvxian with interest and said with a smile: "I would like to know, if I really return to politics, what will you ask me to do? Have you thought about how to arrange for me?"
Yelv Xian was slightly startled, and then said after a while: "At that time, the queen mother naturally lived in seclusion in the palace." Bang.
Xiao Chuo laughed: "Emperor, have you ever thought about it, even if I withdraw the curtain, return to politics, and return to the palace to live in seclusion, can you really take control of the power? Those people can only obey your orders? As long as I
As long as I live, I'm afraid you won't be able to truly hold power."
Yelvxian was speechless.
How to say?
Sue? Xiao Chuo, if this is really the case, will I try to kill you?
This is not the way to seek death.
"The old prince is so sophisticated that he has never thought about this problem?" Xiao Chuo turned to look at Yelu Hongzhen.
Yelu Hongzhen sighed: "The old man believes that everyone in the world has a tendency to support the hot and ignore the cold. If the Queen Mother really wants to live in seclusion in the palace, even if there are still buddies, most of them will hesitate and turn around, and they can always be bribed.
When it comes to the last resort, we have no choice but to take the last step. Even if a queen mother lives in seclusion in the palace, even if she still has real power in her hands, it is still incomparable to listening to politics behind the curtain." Bang.
Xiao Chuo nodded repeatedly, "Emperor, did you see this? This is what adults say. If you really want to take power, you have to kill me!"
"My son, I have never thought of it this way!" Yelvxian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"It's okay to think about it!" Xiao Chuo said calmly: "Xian'er, when you followed me, you were only about two years old. Although you are not my biological child, you were raised by me. Very early on, I thought of
There will be a day like today. Regardless of whether my southern expedition to the Song Dynasty failed or succeeded, how could an emperor with ideas and abilities be willing to be a puppet all the time? I taught you, so I naturally know what abilities you have.
But you have done a lot of homework in the past two years."
"Mother, I..."
"There is no problem with this!" Xiao Chuo continued: "I am very pleased because I have been planning how to face this situation since very early on."
"I wonder what the Queen Mother wants to do?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.
"I will leave!" Xiao Chuo said calmly. Bang
"Leave?" Yeluhong was really surprised, "Queen Mother, are you ready to return to the Song Dynasty? But you are the Queen Mother of Daliao. If this is the case, the old man will never agree."
"I have already been an eagle soaring in the sky, how can I be willing to be a canary in a cage?" Xiao Chuo sneered: "Old Prince, didn't you let me return to power? Okay.
, No problem, Daliao, give it to the emperor. I will go and open up another world!"
"Where are you going?" Yelu Hongzhen was confused at first, but then he suddenly realized: "Western King Yelumin of Zhenbei!"
"Yes, before the southern expedition, I ordered Yelumin to lead his troops to expand to the west. Yelumin also lived up to his expectations and destroyed the Black Khan, Huacizmo and other countries. Now he has stopped advancing and is waiting for me to join him.
!" Xiao Chuo said: "In fact, no matter whether the Southern Expedition wins or loses, I will leave, and Daliao will be returned to the emperor. Daliao is just a tool to me. I use it to achieve my goals.
Basically, all my wishes have come true. Although I lost miserably in the final battle, it doesn't matter. I can afford it but let it go. I am happy to win and happy to lose!"
"The Queen Mother is going west, how will the court explain it to thousands of subjects?" Yelvxian's voice was trembling, with both joy and uneasiness.
Happily, it seems that what the Queen Mother said about returning to power is true, but the Queen Mother who went to the west is like a sharp knife, hanging above her head all the time. When will she want to come back again?
"When the late Emperor was here, he was busy all year round, but rarely stationed in Shangjing. This is why I was able to gather all the power in my hands step by step." Xiao Chuo said: "This time I go west, the emperor can spread the word
I also went to Nabo. The West is unstable and needs people to patrol and suppress it. This is a tradition for us in Daliao. As for whether the emperor can clean up the situation after I leave, it depends on your ability. But
No matter what, I'm not going to look back, good or bad, Emperor, just take care of yourself!" Bang
"Is the Queen Mother planning to stay in Huacizimo from now on?" Yelu Hongzhen asked.
"This world is very big, very big! Going west, there are wider areas worthy of my exploration." Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "I failed in going south, then I will go west and have a look! In the west, I
I probably won’t meet anyone more powerful than me!”
Yeluhong took a deep breath. At this point, he confirmed that Xiao Chuo was indeed ready to leave. This was undoubtedly a blessing.
To be honest, even if the Queen Mother really lives in seclusion in the palace, how to deal with her party members is really a difficult task.
If you don't deal with it, then the Queen Mother will not remove the curtain. If you deal with it, it will most likely cause a backlash.
Now the Queen Mother is leaving, and she is taking her party members with her. This is of course the most ideal thing.
Speaking of which, Daliao is still expanding its territory! Bang!
This makes sense based on logic. Daliao suffered a defeat in the south and suffered a loss. Naturally, it had to make up for it elsewhere. The west is the next target Daliao has chosen now.
No one in the Liao Dynasty has any doubts about this. In this way, the impact of this political turmoil can be minimized, and the Liao Dynasty can smoothly transition from the Xiao Chuo era to the Yelv Xian era.
"In this way, I wish the Queen Mother a smooth journey to the west. Anyone who wants to stop the Queen Mother will be crushed into powder by the Queen Mother." From sitting cross-legged to kneeling, Yelu Hongzhen touched his forehead to the ground and said to Xiao Chuo
Give a great gift.
Seeing this, Yelvxian also hurriedly bowed and thanked Xiao Chuo.
They have been worried that Xiao Chuo will not let go of power, because judging from the past, once people in power let go of power, the consequences are usually not very good. This is not because the new people in power are ruthless, but because they have to do it.
But Xiao Chuo had arranged everything early.
Judging from her tone, even if the Southern Expedition is victorious, she will leave. Bang
"Although Daliao has suffered a huge defeat now, it is no weaker than when Yelujun was alive!" Xiao Chuo said: "From this perspective, I am worthy of Yelujun, but it's just that
