Chapter 259: The Duke of Zhou once came (4)

"Has Xiao Ci lost his mind and gone crazy?" Back at the house, Li Chuwen was puzzled.

Accepting Yelu Dashi's conditions is the best solution at present, which is also the thinking of most people in Nanjing. However, Xiao Cila wants to jump out and use his righteousness to mess up this matter.

What on earth does he want to do?

Li Yan was sitting on a chair, his scheming eyes shining in the candlelight.

After stroking his beard and thinking for a long time, Li Yan thought of the key point.

"Has Xiao Cila been in the palace recently?"

"I heard from Da Lang (Li Shi) that Xiao Cila has been in the palace in the past few days, and Empress Xiao (Xiao Puxian's daughter) talked to him alone twice." At this point, Li Chuwen understood clearly.

"Uncle, Xiao Cila got the instructions from Empress Xiao, so he came forward to sabotage this matter?"

"That's right. Nanjing went to Beijing to join forces and established His Royal Highness the King of Jin (Yelu Ao and Lu Ao) as the crown prince. The one who suffered the most was Xiao Puxian. His Majesty Tianxi Emperor is already old. Besides, the current situation is turbulent.

In just six months, Emperor Tian Zuo died, and Yelu Yu saw... How long Yelu Chun can live, who knows?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Once Yelu Chun passes away and His Royal Highness the King of Jin ascends the throne, the Queen Mother will no longer be Xiao Pu's virtuous woman. How could she be willing to accept the taste of power after she has tasted it?"

Li Chuwen's eyes showed a fierce look.

"This woman is not simple. In just a few months, not only Xiao Cila, but also Xiao Monk Nu, Yelu Zhang Jianu and other people with military power fell under his pomegranate skirt. Uncle, we will execute the second

Make plans and use force to defeat cleverness."

"Okay!" Li Yan responded immediately.

He also knew where Li Chuwen's confidential information about Xiao Pu's virtuous daughter came from.

The next day, the Nanjing monarch and his ministers discussed matters again in the palace.

Before Xiao Cila could make an impassioned speech that had been brewing all night, Yelu Dashi's envoy, Xiao Yixue, made an offer that no one could refuse.

"In order to show his sincerity, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang has discussed with the Queen Mother and His Majesty Tianfeng Emperor, and is willing to give up Tokyo and the Jin, Shi, Lai, Qian and Yuzhou along the coast of Tokyo and Zhongjing."

Everyone in the palace was surprised, and Yelu Di Ligu asked in surprise: "Is this true or false?"

"Of course it's true. His Royal Highness the King of Liang has sent an order to Tokyo and called Jin to strengthen the troops and horses of the five states and retreat to Tanzhou and De'an Prefecture. Just send troops to take over."

Xiao Degong, Zhang Lin and others repeatedly praised: "This action shows sincerity! Great kindness! Great kindness!"

Xiao Cila and others had nothing to say.

Yelv Dashi gave up Tokyo, and at the same time gave up the coastal states of China and Beijing - the channel between Nanjing and Tokyo. This changed the situation in Nanjing and allowed it to turn from defense to offense.

Once the peace negotiation fails, the army can start directly from Tokyo, rush to Beijing, and take away Yelu Dashi's lair.

Soon, all the ministers in the palace came to a consensus, and the peace talks could continue. However, Tokyo and the coastal states of Nakakyo Province had to be obtained first.

"You can ask Xiao Baoxian, the military envoy of the Liao Xing Army, to lead his troops to Tokyo. If the troops are not enough, Gao Yongchang of the Bohai Navy will be placed under his command."

The decision was made quickly.

Li Chuwen added: "It's not yet safe. Nanjing must send people there. The situation is now turbulent and people's hearts are uneasy. We need envoys from important ministers."

"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"

Everyone understood the meaning of his words. Now the situation in Daliao is in chaos, and the central government's control over the local areas has been greatly weakened.

What if Xiao Baoxian and others established themselves as kings after occupying Tokyo? The examples of Yelu Yujian, Yelu Zhangnu and others are before our eyes. I believe many people have grass in their hearts.

Nanjing must send important ministers to represent the central government and monitor the local area.

"What Prime Minister Li said is very true. If that's the case, then send Xiao Monknu as the recruiting envoy to the northeast, Yelu Zhang Jianu as the military envoy to Tokyo, and Xiao Cila as the envoy to propagate the Tokyo Road."

Xiao Qian suggested in a deep voice.

There was silence in the palace.

Xiao Qian was the grand master of the Fourth Army, and he controlled more than half of the Xi soldiers. These Xi soldiers were also a very important military force in Nanjing. His suggestions were of great weight.

Xiao Deli, Yelu Dabeinu and others all expressed their agreement.

Although these few officials do not hold high positions, they are all powerful figures and have soldiers at their disposal.

Yelu Diligu, Xiao Degong, Zhang Lin and other senior officials noticed something, thought about it briefly, and agreed with this suggestion.

It is a good thing to transfer these people to Tokyo, which can not only strengthen the control of the Tokyo area, but also eliminate the resistance to peace negotiations.

Although Xiao Monknu, Yelu Zhangjianu, Xiao Cila and others were unwilling to do so, the overall situation was decided and they could only leave Nanjing with three thousand troops and horses to take office in Tokyo.

That night in the Li Mansion, Li Yan, Li Chuwen, Li Chuneng, and Li Shi gathered together again to discuss important matters.

"Mr. Zhong, have you agreed with Li Kaishan?" Li Yan asked.

Li Chuneng replied: "Uncle, everything has been negotiated. They are all people who care about kindness. I read the letters written by my uncle and eldest brother to them, and then listened to the whole plan. I immediately expressed my willingness to obey the order unconditionally. At the same time, I also

Help connect and talk to Wu Cunzhong."

"Okay!" Li Yan said in admiration, stroking his palms, "In this way, half of the big task has been accomplished."

"Uncle, from Gubei Pavilion to Nanjing City, Zhong Yaoshi and other troops often have soldiers and horses transporting food and wages back and forth. With their cover, the journey will be smooth. But this Nanjing City is strong and has many soldiers. What should we do?"

"We don't need to worry about this. There is a way to open the door over there. It's just the Imperial City..." At this point, Li Yan turned around and said to Li Xi: "Xier, the next step is up to you!"

Li Xi's face looked uncertain, but Li Chuwen was anxious.

"Hu Tu! You stupid Hu Tu! Xiao Pu's virtuous daughter, a whore who can do everything for anyone, makes you so nostalgic! She is really worthless! After the great things are accomplished, you will be promoted to an official position, and you will have glory and wealth at your fingertips. What beauty is missing?

Woman?"

Li Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle and father, please don't worry! The imperial city will be left to me! I know a secret passage - the virtuous daughter Xiao Pu often takes this passage to lead people in and out of the palace..."

"Okay!" Li Yan said happily, "Contact them immediately. As long as everything is accomplished, we will definitely make Duke Zhou famous."

Li Chuneng chuckled and said: "I don't care about Duke Zhou's good reputation. I quite like Duke Zhou's power. Besides, it's already a period of great changes. The emperor's throne is flying around, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't fall.

Our Li family."

"Be careful what you say!" Li Yan scolded him, but his eyes were filled with blazing fire.

Four days later, Yelu Dashi led five thousand elite cavalry, quietly passed through the Gubeiguan Pass, disguised as a grain transport army, crossed the prefecture and counties, and headed straight for Nanjing.

That night, Yelu Dabei Nu opened the north gate, led Yelu Dashi's troops into the city, and went straight to the imperial city. Li Shi took a few confidants, led dozens of elite soldiers from Yelu Dashi's tribe, sneaked to Guangde Gate through a secret passage, and then opened the palace gate.

.

The Yelu Dashi tribe rushed in, and then the sound of killing shook the sky.

More than 300 people including Xiao Shituo, a member of Xiao Puxiannu's party, died in the rebellion. Then Xiao Yixue and Xiao Delidi persuaded Xiao Qian and announced that they would stand on the side of Yelu Dashi. At the same time, Yelu was greatly saddened by his slaves, and Yelu Huaxi,

Xiao Chengqian and others gathered the remaining troops inside and outside Nanjing.

The situation was decided, and senior officials such as Yelu Diligu, Xiao Degong, Zhang Lin and others half-heartedly and half-heartedly agreed to negotiate peace.

Soon, the result of the negotiation was that Yelu Chun, who was frightened half to death during the chaos and was bedridden, would continue to be the Lord of Liao and still the Emperor of Tianxi.

He was established as the crown prince. Yelu Dashi was made the king of Liang and the marshal of all the troops in the world.

Just two days after the edict was issued to inform the world, bad news came from Tokyo - Gao Yongchang, commander of the Bohai Navy, killed Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Monk Nu and Yelu Zhang Jianu, and established himself as King Tianyuan.
