"Has Yelvsa's attitude changed? Does he really not care about the friendship between Emperor Sejong and his father?" After hearing Yelvxian's words, Nuli expressed confusion and even a little anger.
Among the people here, he is the one who hopes most for Yelvxian's success in succeeding to the throne. As long as Yelvxian ascends to power quickly, he will be able to reap the fruits of victory, and by then he will have glory, wealth, power, and beautiful women.
Yelu Xian looked calm, couldn't help coughing twice, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said: "After all, it is a matter between the fathers. No matter how deep the love is, after so many years, it can still be left." What’s the score?”
Yelv Xian looked at the ministers present, and said calmly: "Yelusa sent someone to deliver a letter to me, saying that the duty of the Pishi Army is to defend the emperor and defend the Liao Dynasty. They should only be loyal to the emperor and obey orders. The emperor, other than that, will not participate in anything else! The late emperor was assassinated, and the Pishi army could not escape the blame. He felt that he was ashamed and regretful. He should return to the military camp, restrain the soldiers, guard the camp gate, and wait for the new emperor to take the throne. Ask for punishment... ....”
"What...what does this mean?" Nuli asked blankly after hearing Yelvxian's description.
In this regard, Xiao Siwen lamented: "Sagui is a smart man! He does not want to participate in the battle for the throne, and only wants to follow the final winner. This is a wise way of protecting himself! However, this is fine, if he can be impartial and maintain Be neutral and not be won over by the King of Yue. Relying on the King’s popularity and strength, he will surely succeed in succeeding to the throne!”
Hearing what he said, Nuli couldn't help but said: "If I had known that today's situation would happen, I shouldn't have worried too much and delayed it. I should have supported the king's succession as soon as possible, and wouldn't have given other people time to react and end up in the current trouble.
Your Majesty, the Suwei are still in our hands. Yi La dare not have any different intentions. There is nothing better than bringing troops into the palace, summoning the clan ministers, succeeding to the throne in front of the coffin, and determining his title as early as possible. If there are any opponents, just kill them! "
"No!" As soon as he made this suggestion, before anyone else could say anything, Yelvxian expressed his attitude seriously and resolutely.
After pondering for a moment, Yelvxian said: "Mutiny is an act of desperation. Don't act rashly unless you have to! Otherwise, even if it succeeds, it will not win over people's hearts and there will be endless troubles. If internal strife is provoked, it will be extremely dangerous. Liao, if it causes civil strife in Liao, I would rather not be the emperor!"
Yelvxian's opinions and attitude were very thoughtful. Yelvxian fully recognized this and immediately raised his hands and praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"
After pondering for a while, Yelv Xianshi said solemnly: "Now, the throne of the emperor is vacant and people's minds are changing. This is not a long-term solution. The overall situation must be determined early. The current situation in Daliao is not safe. Even in critical moments, the Han Dynasty in the south is always watching. , let alone give it a chance. The battle for the throne cannot be dragged on any longer. The dispute must be ended. If unification cannot be achieved, then even if the army is used, we will not hesitate to use it!"
Whether it is Yelv Xian or Yelv Xianshi, they are both outstanding people in the Liao Kingdom at present, with great ability and knowledge. If they unite together, it means that they have a great possibility of accomplishing something.
The reason why Yelvxian has been supported by so many people is not just about his identity. The core factor is his outstanding personal charm and ability. Otherwise, if he was a mediocre person, Yelu Xianshi and others would never choose to support him like this.
"Make arrangements, I will personally visit the King of the South Campus later!" Yelvxian's expression changed a little, he stood up and said with determination.
"You should also pay attention to the movements of the King of Yue!" Yelu Xianshi said, but there was a little doubt in his tone: "However, during this period, the King of Yue has always been silent, focusing on attending to the national funeral and not focusing on this matter. It seems that he has no intention of doing anything. The battle for the throne..."
"The King of Yue's move is nothing more than an appearance, just to deceive people's hearts! With so many people supporting him, and with the throne in front of him, how can he not be moved?" Nuli said with a sneer.
"I'll go see the King of the South Campus first!" Yelvxian said after a moment of silence.
"Your Majesty, I think you should go see these two people!" Xiao Siwen spoke at this time.
"Who is it?" Yelvxian looked at Xiao Siwen, slightly curious.
"Taiwei Han Kuangsi and Prime Minister Gao Xun of Nanfu!" Xiao Siwen said: "Among the officials of the Han Dynasty, these two are respected. The Han family has deep roots in the Liao Dynasty, and Gao Xun has outstanding achievements. If they have the support of the two, they will With the support of Han ministers, at this time, the influence of these Han ministers cannot be underestimated! There are many Han troops and Han people in the southern city of Shangjing!"
"If it hadn't been for the reminder from the servant, I would have almost overlooked this point and missed a big deal!" Yelvxian's eyes lit up and he said with excitement: "Gao Xun can be bribed by high officials and nobles. As for the Han family, my Han Derang has a good relationship. This person He is also a great talent, and we can speak through him. Many of the Han family’s children hold important positions in Daliao, so if we get his help, we will have no worries!”
...
When the Liao Kingdom fell into the whirlpool of the succession struggle in Beijing, Emperor Liu was still on his way back to Beijing. Along the way, we still passed by in the name of inspection, but it was just a formality, and there was hardly any stop.
The march was very fast, almost at a speed of sixty miles a day. After meeting Prince Liu Yang in Qinzhou who was patrolling the area, he abandoned a lot of baggage and accelerated with light equipment.
It only took half a month to pass Fengxiang Mansion. Tossing, tossing, the camp personnel were almost exhausted to death. This patrol was probably the worst "torture" for the accompanying personnel. The intensity of the journey was even comparable to that of a march.
Probably because he felt that it was not easy for the people accompanying him, after entering Jingzhao Mansion, Emperor Liu finally issued an order to stop temporarily and give everyone a chance to rest for a day.
"What a pity!" In Chang'an Palace, Emperor Liu was lamenting the death of one person.
Of course, it was not because of the death of Emperor Liao, but news came from Luoyang that Han Xizai had died of illness. Han Xizai was once famous all over the world, but he was not active in the political arena of the Han Dynasty. His status as a surrender was the biggest limitation. However, within a limited time and amid countless criticisms, he still completed a major event for the Han Dynasty court and rectified the situation. southeast.
It was also the time in Han Xizai's life when he displayed his talents most freely and without constraints. It was the warmest spring in his political career, although it attracted a lot of hostility, criticism and abuse.
After resigning as the pacifier of the southeast, Han Xizai returned to the court and took up the post of admonishment official. This was not to kill Emperor Liu, but to protect him.
Two years ago, Emperor Liu intended to let him come back, but he was old and contracted some diseases, so he had no choice but to give up and let him rest and recuperate.
Unexpectedly, I survived until I died of illness...
It was obviously impossible to say that he had any feelings for Han Xizai. Therefore, Emperor Liu did not show any sadness, but simply sighed.
"Pass an imperial edict, posthumously gifting Han Xizai Shizhong, Tongping Zhangshi, and Jixian Palace Grand Master. He will be kind to his son and hire him according to his talents!" Emperor Liu put away a letter from Han Xizai's posthumous letter and turned to Prime Minister Li Ye and his chamberlain Yan. Tuo ordered: "I heard that the expenses of his big family are not small and it is not easy to support. I took out 10,000 yuan from the internal funds and gave it to his family to handle the subsequent affairs in a decent manner. The remaining Just subsidize your family’s income!”
"Yes!" The two responded.
"Han Xizai's suicide note said a lot of things. He also recommended a person to me, Pan You. He said that this person was a capable person and I hope he can be put to good use. Who is this person? Do you know?" Emperor Liu asked.
Seeing the emperor's eyes turned towards him, Li Ye showed a little embarrassment on his face and responded with his hands raised: "Your Majesty, this unknown person, I forgive my ignorance and have never heard of him."
Emperor Liu frowned slightly. Seeing this, Prince Liu Yang took the initiative to relieve Li Ye and said, "I know this person!"
"Oh?" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang in surprise and motioned for him to talk.
Liu Yang said: "When Han Gong was Prime Minister in Jiangnan, he presided over a reform. Pan You was one of the most capable people under him. After I was in Pingnan, I heard about this person by chance. He was specially summoned for questioning. This person has an extremely thorough understanding of laws and systems, and he often gets to the bottom of things when discussing matters, and gets straight to the point..."
"Since you are an official, why do you want to be a small Suzhou Sima?" Emperor Liu smiled and directly ordered: "Since the prince said that this person is a talent, Han Xizai also recommended him, so he went to the official department to evaluate the promotion. Bar!"
