Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "I wonder how she did it? Logically speaking, this is almost impossible. If it were easy, Brother Yeqianxiu would have done it long ago. Are you still waiting for her?"
Yang Peng nodded and said: "This matter has nothing to do with us. What we have to consider now is how to save people!" Na Ren nodded quickly, and Yelu Hanyu said nothing. Yang Peng thought: "
Judging from the information obtained so far, Brother Ye Qianxiu and Wang Jun should have completely broken up. The two people were already at odds over how to deal with the princess, and now they are at odds because of the struggle for the highest power.
It can no longer be reconciled. There's no doubt about that, and I think we can make the best of it."
No one knew what was going on, but Yelu Hanyu thought of something.
Yang Peng thought: "Brother Ye Qianxiu needs to go in and out of the palace frequently, and Wang Jun will often go out of the palace to her villa outside the palace. We have many opportunities."
As night fell, the palace hall was brightly lit. The royal nobles of the Liao Kingdom and foreign envoys all gathered in the hall, toasting to the new emperor's enthronement, and wishing the Queen Mother happiness, longevity and health. Congratulations suddenly burst out.
Echoed in the main hall; the king sat high to accept the congratulations from everyone, with the Queen Mother sitting next to him, while the emperor of Liao, the infant Ye Qian Longxuan, was lying in the arms of the Queen Mother. The king raised his voice and said: "Everyone
No need to be polite!" "Thank you, the Queen Mother!" Then they all sat down.
The king smiled and said: "Today the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world is celebrating. You all must have a great time!" Then he stretched out his delicate hand and picked up a jade cup in front of him. The white jade reflected the snowy skin very touchingly. The king said: "I will take this glass of wine on my behalf."
Your Majesty, please do it first!" Then I saw her holding the cup in both hands and tilting her head to do it. Two blushes appeared on her pretty face. She was so beautiful that many princes and ministers felt their hearts pounding.
, the foreign envoys stood up holding the wine glass, bowed to the king, drank the wine in their glasses, and then sat down one after another.
Wang Jun put down the wine glass, clapped his hands, and there were two soft pops. Then the music came, the silk and bamboo were melodious, and then dozens of graceful and graceful dancing girls wearing traditional costumes of the Khitan clan flew in like colorful butterflies.
In the main hall, people danced gracefully. Everyone enjoyed the dance, and the familiar people laughed and chatted with each other from time to time, while the king chatted with several important ministers sitting nearby, creating a very harmonious scene.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly sang a promise from the gate: "The Generalissimo is here!..." Everyone in the hall immediately stopped talking and looked towards the gate, only to see Brother Ye Qianxiu in military uniform.
He strode up to the hall. Everyone else wore gorgeous brocade robes to attend the banquet. Brother Ye Qianxiu's military uniform looked very eye-catching at the moment, and the king couldn't help but frown.
Brother Ye Qianxiu walked to the middle of the hall and shouted sternly: "Stop dancing and singing!" The music stopped abruptly, and the dancers also stopped dancing, looking at each other, at a loss. All the princes and nobles present looked sideways, some nervously.
They frowned, and some showed a look of gloating on others' misfortune, while Wang Jun looked very angry and glared at Brother Ye Qianxiu and shouted: "Generalissimo, what are you doing?"
Brother Ye Ganxiu ignored the king, turned around and bowed to the baby in the Empress Dowager's arms, and then said loudly: "Now that Liao is in trouble at home and abroad, is this the time to sing, dance and have fun? If the new emperor ascends the throne, if he does not work hard to govern, how can he do it?
To calm the hearts of the people in the world?" These words were so righteous that many ministers, including Ye Qianhu Cheng, nodded their heads. Ye Qianhu Cheng said: "Brother Ye Qianxiu is right! Now our Daliao Kingdom
The situation is far from good, and we really shouldn’t be singing, dancing and having fun!”
When the king saw that Ye Qi Hucheng said the same thing, he couldn't scold Brother Ye Qi Hucheng. He said warmly to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Your Majesty, Nanyuan, the reason why the Ai family holds this banquet is because it is a traditional banquet in all dynasties.
Traditionally, in order to harmonize the relationship between the new monarch and the princes and ministers, how can it be said that they are singing, dancing and having fun?" Ye Qi Hucheng felt that what the monarch said was right, and nodded: "The empress dowager's intentions are naturally good! But of course the intention is good!
This banquet is too extravagant!" Wang Junwei said yes, but he was unhappy in his heart. He felt that Ye Qi Hucheng was really ungrateful and refuted his face in public. As the saying goes, women are narrow-minded, but this is really true.
Wrong, just because of this trivial matter, the king hated Yeqihu City.
When Brother Ye Qianxiu saw Ye Qian Hucheng speaking on his side, he couldn't help but become more aggressive and said loudly: "I think the banquet should end here! If you want to drink, let's have a good time when the new king comes of age.
Drink enough!" His words irritated the king even more, because they made it clear that he did not recognize the king's regent status. The king said with a sullen face: "The new king will hold a banquet to entertain all the princes and ministers. This has been done since ancient times.
That’s it! Although the Grand Marshal has a noble status, you can’t withdraw at your own discretion. Do you think you are the emperor? In your eyes, where do you place His Majesty? The confrontation between Brother Ye Qianxiu and Wang Jun is full of gunpowder.
, all the princes and ministers kept silent, for fear of getting angry accidentally, while the foreign envoys were basically gloating about the misfortune. Only one person looked worried, and that person was the envoy sent by the Xixia Kingdom, the princess.
Li Qingxia, she traveled a long distance and came to the capital of Liao Kingdom without avoiding hardships. She wanted to form an alliance with Liao Kingdom and plot a way to deal with Yan Yun. However, the situation in Liao Kingdom made her extremely worried. The Queen Mother, who was holding the emperor, faced
The situation in front of me is very scary and I don’t know what to do.
At this moment, Ye Qian Hucheng yelled at Brother Ye Qianxiu: "Brother Ye Qianxiu, how can you be so impudent? The Empress Dowager was regent under the imperial edict, and she can be said to represent the late emperor. How dare you speak to her like this? How dare you speak to her like this?
Don’t kneel down!”
Brother Ye Qianxiu protested: "She is a Korean, how can she be the regent of our Liao Kingdom! How can we Khitan people be inferior to the Koreans? This is ridiculous!" As soon as these words came out, it immediately attracted people.
There was a buzz in the main hall, and the king clearly saw that many ministers had been persuaded by Brother Yeqianxiu, and their faces seemed to show dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said to Brother Yeqianxiu with a cold face.
: "Although I was born in Goryeo, I have been a Khitan since I served Emperor Taizong!" He glanced at everyone and said, "Don't you think that Emperor Taizong's concubine is a Khitan?" The princes and ministers were startled and felt that
What she said is right. How could Emperor Taizong's concubine not regard her as a Khitan?
Brother Ye Qianxiu snorted coldly, stared at the king and said, "There is a saying among the Han people that people who are not of my race will have different hearts! I will never believe you!" He glanced at the princes and ministers and said, "You are willing to be ruled by a foreign race?
, I, Brother Ye Ganxiu, am an extremely noble Khitan, but I don’t want to lower my noble head!” After saying that, he strode away.
All the princes and ministers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do. The king was so angry that his face was livid, his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't help but want to get rid of brother Ye Qianxiu.
Prime Minister Han Derang smoothed things over and said: "The Generalissimo is just too sad about the death of the late emperor. Please ask the Queen Mother, Queen Mother, your Majesty, please don't be offended. Please forgive him for his past merits."
The Queen Mother was a woman without her own opinion. She didn’t know what to do. She looked at Wang Jun. Wang Jun’s face instantly returned to normal, and he smiled and said: "The Generalissimo is heartbroken over the death of the late emperor. It is human nature to be a little rude. I will not blame him."
Yes!" Han Derang said, "The Empress Dowager is wise!"
Wang Jun raised his voice and said: "The singing and dancing continue, and everyone continues to drink." Then the music started again, the dancers danced again, and the princes and ministers started drinking again. However, in Wang Jun's eyes, the feeling just now was completely gone.
In the joyful atmosphere, it seemed that everyone had evil intentions, and everyone seemed to be secretly laughing and despising her. The king was so angry that he wished he could capture Brother Ye Qianxiu and cut him into pieces right now. Although he was so cruel in his heart
She was thinking about it, but there was no expression on her face.
A luxurious banquet where everyone had their own thoughts was finally over, and many people were relieved. The king returned to the palace, suddenly burst into emotion, and threw a precious vase to the ground, and it smashed into thousands of pieces with a clang.
The eunuchs were so frightened that they all remained silent and did not dare to express their anger.
Wang Jun stared in front, with an angry look on his face, and murmured: "Brother Ye Qianxiu, I will definitely let you die badly!!" He calmed down and began to plan a way to deal with Brother Ye Qianxiu. After thinking for a while, he
How to deal with Yeqi Hucheng? She is also angry about Yeqi Hucheng. She feels that Yeqi Hucheng also looks down on her and will not obey her orders, so it is also a target that needs to be eradicated...
In the morning of the next day, all the princes and ministers kowtowed and saluted the baby who was placed on the dragon chair. Everyone felt that it was very absurd in their hearts, but they did not dare to show any slightest behavior. Behind the dragon chair, a bead curtain was pulled up.
Behind the curtain sat a graceful figure dimly, it was the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother who had been ordered to listen to the government behind the curtain.
After the princes and ministers had saluted, they stood on both sides according to their rank. The leader on the right column was Prime Minister Han Derang, followed by Ye Qidan Jinglun, followed by ministers of various ministries and civil servants of the fourth rank and above in Beijing;
The first one is Ye Qi Hucheng, followed by Generalissimo Ye Qi Xiu, followed by the fourth-rank or above military generals in Beijing, including Han Chang and Xiao Zhanle, Ye Qi Xiu's cronies.
The old eunuch, a close confidant of the king, walked to the jade steps with an imperial edict, opened it, and read it loudly. Most of the content was nonsense. The most important thing was that the positions of all ministers remained unchanged, and they were all given first-class titles.
Yeqianhu was promoted to the Protector King and was responsible for the national military affairs. This was actually depriving Brother Yeqianxiu of his power in disguise. When Brother Yeqianxiu heard this, he looked very angry, but he had nothing to do. If the king appointed another
If a person comes to take over the military affairs, no matter who it is, he will come out and resolutely oppose it. However, he cannot and does not dare to object to Yeqihu City. The imperial edict also mentions the reward for Brother Yeqixiu, who will be promoted to King Longxiang and Councilor.
Military aircraft, this is a wonderful thing to say about military aircraft. It is dispensable and ambiguous.
The doctor bandaged Brother Ye Qianxiu's wound, then bowed and retreated. Xiao Zhanle finally couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, that woman dared to assassinate the King, we must not just let it go! We have to raise troops to attack.
Palace, kill that bitch!!" All the generals agreed one after another, and the crowd was excited. Only Han Chang frowned and remained silent. Brother Yeqianxiu said coldly: "I didn't want to fight with her, but I can't bear it.
This is unbearable, since she used such methods to deal with me, I have nothing to cherish!"
When Han Chang heard this, he felt very strange: 'Why did the Generalissimo say that? Could it be that the Generalissimo couldn't see the strangeness of this assassination incident? Those masked killers in black were extremely tough, and there were hundreds of them in his own party.
The guards were all elites on the battlefield, but more than half of them were killed or injured in an instant. The strength of those killers was unheard of, but how could the Empress Dowager have such a powerful force? With those Koreans who only know how to talk? This is simply a joke.
!I am afraid that these mysterious killers are not sent by the Empress Dowager. The Generalissimo has always been shrewd, how could he not see it? Oh, I understand, the Grand Marshal wants to use this as an excuse to attack the Empress Dowager!'
He only heard Brother Ye Qianxiu say to him: "Han Chang, go to our military camp outside the city immediately, assemble the three armies, and prepare for battle!" Han Chang promised and ran down. Brother Ye Qianxiu said to Xiao Zhanle again
Said: "Assemble the guards in the mansion immediately, listen to my orders, and be ready to take action at any time!" Xiao Zhanle responded excitedly and ran down. It needs to be explained here that according to the rules of the Liao Kingdom, no army of generals and princes can enter.
Those in Zhongjing City can only bring their own guards into the city, and the size of the guards is generally only a few thousand people. Although Brother Ye Qianxiu has a heavy army, the only army he can mobilize in the city is his own four thousand guards.
The situation in Qianhu City is the same.
Brother Ye Qianxiu stood up, walked behind the desk, sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it, wrote on the envelope the words "Xiao Sali, personally signed by the general," and handed the letter to someone.
A trusted officer ordered him to rush to the city defense general's mansion immediately and hand him over to Xiao Sali to drink.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother took a phoenix chariot to the Grand Marshal's Mansion under the protection of hundreds of palace guards to visit Brother Ye Qianxiu. When they were halfway on the road, they were sent to the Generalissimo's Mansion to express their condolences to Brother Ye Qianxiu.
The confidant of the palace lady rushed over anxiously and reported: "My Majesty, it's not good, the Generalissimo, he sent people to mobilize troops outside the city, and gathered the guards in the palace to prepare to do harm to the Imperial Majesty!"
The king was shocked when he heard this, and without thinking about it, he quickly ordered to return to the palace. As soon as he returned to the palace, the king immediately summoned the palace guard general Li Chonglong. This man was actually a Khitan with Goryeo descent. He was killed by the king yesterday.
He was promoted to the position of general of the palace guard and became one of the king's confidants.
"General, I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!" Li Chonglong paid homage to Wang Jun with utmost respect. Wang Jun said quickly: "General Li, there is no need to be polite!" Li Chonglong thanked him, stood up and stood respectfully below. Wang Jun asked hurriedly
: "General Li, how many soldiers and horses are there in the palace guard?" "Reporting to your Majesty, there are five thousand guards in the palace, including four thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry!"
The king lowered his head and frowned and said: "With only five thousand troops, I'm afraid I can't withstand Brother Yeqianxiu's thousands of battle-hardened troops!" He immediately said to Li Chonglong: "General Li, the situation is urgent now. Brother Yeqianxiu
There may be a rebellion, so go down immediately and gather the palace guards to prepare for it!" Li Chonglong was taken aback, responded and ran down.
The king then ordered a close maid beside him: "Immediately go and order the city defense army to close the city gate and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or exiting, and also order him to mobilize troops to defend the palace in front of the palace! Tell General Xiao Salihe, if you can do it at this moment,
After he has made great achievements, I will promote him to the king and regain control of the army!" This Xiao Sa Lihe has appeared more than once in the previous article. He is one of the famous generals of the Liao Kingdom. He has made great achievements in attacking the Northern Song Dynasty, but later Xiao Sa Li
Lihe was defeated one after another in the battle with Yanyun's army. He lost his troops and lost ground. In the end, he only escaped through Yanmen Pass with 20,000 to 30,000 remaining soldiers. Originally, according to the military law of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Salihe was going to be executed, but at that time
The Emperor of the Liao Kingdom finally exempted him from the death penalty because of his great contribution to the country, and demoted him to the position of a garrison general of Zhongjing City, responsible for the defense of Zhongjing City. The gap between the front and the back is self-evident. But in today's situation
Under the circumstances, Xiao Salihe has undoubtedly become a hot and key figure.
The palace maid took the order and left. Wang Jun was worried and said to a confidant of the palace: "You should leave the city immediately, rush to our military camp, and order General Jin Tongtian to assemble the army and prepare for battle, especially beware of those outside the city.
Ye Qianxiu, brother's army!" After saying that, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the palace maid. The palace maid came forward, took the jade pendant respectfully, and hurried out of the hall.
Wang Jun thought carefully about whether he had any flaws, and felt that everything he had to do had been done, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this time, footsteps sounded. Wang Jun turned around and saw the young Queen Mother coming over with the emperor in her arms, with a look of worry and fear on her face. She came forward, bowed to Wang Jun Yingying, and then asked nervously
He said: "Mother, I heard that Marshal Ye Qianxiu brother rebelled?" Wang Jun smiled slightly, with a calm expression and a confident look, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can touch you mother and son.
A hair on your head!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this, and said: "Everything depends on the Queen Mother!" Wang Jun nodded, "You can go back and stay in peace, don't worry!" The Queen Mother responded.
After making a sound, he hugged the emperor's son and left.
The smile on Wang Jun's face disappeared, and his brows wrinkled again on her beautiful face. Although she had said it was easy to the Queen Mother just now, in fact, she was not sure about the matter in front of her at all. If she had no confidence in Ye Qianxiu,
If I was very confident, I would have used thunderous means to destroy Brother Ye Qianxiu long ago, and he would not have waited until now. The king thought: 'Brother Ye Qianxiu has four or five thousand guards in the city, and I have five thousand.
The Palace Guard, he has 80,000 troops outside the city, and I have 100,000 troops. I still have the advantage, so what are you afraid of him doing?" Then she thought of Xiao Salihe, and what she was most worried about now was Xiao Salihe.
Attitude, the current situation is like a balance in a state of balance, and Xiao Salihe is a key weight. Whichever side he leans to will give that side a huge advantage, and the results are self-evident.
Xiao Salihe met Brother Ye Qianxiu and Wang Jun's envoy one after another. He couldn't help but be in a dilemma. He was in a dilemma about how to choose the more beneficial one. Now it was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to rise again, but this was not the case.
It is an uncertain multiple-choice question. If he chooses the right one, he will regain his previous power and glory, but if he chooses the wrong one, the consequences will be disastrous. He will be shattered to pieces along with the losing party.
Just when Xiao Sali was in a dilemma, his trusted general Da Buye hurried in and said urgently: "General, the King of the South Campus and the Prime Minister are here together!" Xiao Sali was startled.
He quickly raised his head and saw Yeqi Hucheng in military uniform and Handerang in civilian clothes coming hand in hand. He quickly stood up to greet them: "I didn't know that the King of the South Campus and the Prime Minister were arriving, so they were not far away to greet them!" Yeqi Hucheng stood up.
Waving his hands, "Stop saying these polite words! The Prime Minister and I came to you to ask you to immediately send an order to close the city gates! Go and send the order immediately!"
When Xiao Salihe heard this, he thought to himself: 'It seems that the King of the South Courtyard and the Prime Minister are on the side of the Empress Dowager!' After thinking this, he quickly said: "The general will send the order immediately!" Then he said to Da Buye:
"Immediately send an order to the four gates to close the city gates! No one can enter or exit!" Xiao Dabuye responded and ran down.
Xiao Sali invited Ye Qihucheng and Han Derang to take a seat. Ye Qihucheng said: "The situation is urgent now, so we won't sit down!" Han Derang said: "General Xiao Salihui, the current situation is extremely critical and affects us.
The rise and fall of the Liao Kingdom, the honor and disgrace! We hope you will guard the city strictly and not sway to any side!" Xiao Sali was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: 'Is it possible that these two are not trying to help the Empress Dowager?' This thought only flashed in my mind.
After passing, he quickly bowed and agreed. Han Derang said: "I have discussed it with the King of the South Campus. After the situation calms down, the two of us will recommend you to stay on Tokyo Road. I hope you will not disappoint us!" "Thank you, Prime Minister,
Thank you so much, King Nanyuan. I will definitely serve the country loyally and live up to your trust!" Han Derang nodded and said to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Let's go, we have to go to both sides to appease you!" Ye Qi Hucheng nodded,
Then he turned around and walked outside, followed closely by Handerang. Xiao Sali shouted and sent the two of them out of the door before returning.
Xiao Sali returned to the hall with a thoughtful look on his face, and tapped his fingers unconsciously on the desk. At this time, Xiao Dabuye came back, cupping his fists and saying: "General, I have already given the order!
"
Xiao Sa Li turned around and asked: "Tell me, what is going on with the Empress Dowager and the Grand Marshal?" Xiao Dabuye sneered: "What else could it be? They are just fighting for power and profit!"
Xiao Sali frowned and nodded, "Then in your opinion, who will win this battle in the end?"
Xiao Dabuye thought for a while and shook his head, "This subordinate can't see it!" Xiao Sali sat down and said, "If you say so, we can only listen to the King of the South Campus and the Prime Minister.
!" smiled and said, "The Han people have a saying, which is called 'sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight'. We might as well 'sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight'. When whoever has the upper hand, we will not be too late to help him. In this way, we can immediately
In an invincible position!" Dabuye sighed: "The general is really far-sighted!"
Yeqi Hucheng and Handerang acted separately. Handerang rushed to the palace to appease the Empress Dowager, while Yeqihucheng rushed to the Generalissimo's Mansion to appease brother Yeqihxiu. I don't know if it was the appeasement of Yeqi Hucheng and Handerang that played a role.
It was King Yeqianxiu who had other plans. Until night, the situation was still calm, and there was an armed conflict. However, rumors were already spreading in the capital, making people panic and everyone was in danger. Although Yeqianhu City, Handerang found out
It seemed that someone was deliberately adding fuel to the flames, but at this moment they did not dare to be distracted at all. All their attention was on Wang Jun and Brother Ye Qianxiu.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
