Early the next morning, the palace went to court early. 【Read the latest chapter.】
Zhenzong sat peacefully in the Jinluan Hall as usual. Not a word was said about last night's assassination.
Kou Zhun saw this situation. Secretly sighing that Zhenzong not only did not take the assassination to heart, but also forgot about the personal conquest. So Kou Zhun went to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, I learned yesterday that Marshal Yang was killed in the battlefield, and the city of Chanzhou is in danger!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were panicked. Zhenzong lamented and said: "How is the battle situation of the 150,000 troops I sent?"
Kou Zhun said: "Our army has marched to Chanzhou in advance. Unfortunately, the soldiers lacked fighting strength and were defeated again and again by the Liao army."
Zhenzong looked around and asked, "What should we do?"
Kou Zhun said confidently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. The Liao thieves have worked hard to attack far away, so they must fight quickly. Our army is waiting for work. If we can persist in the stalemate, within a few months, the Liao army will be out of food and grass, and they will be in chaos without fighting. By then, Our army will attack the city with all its strength, and we will surely win a complete victory."
Zhenzong asked: "Our army was defeated in one attack, how can we maintain a stalemate?"
Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty has agreed to go on the expedition. Now everything is ready, just waiting for your Majesty to come to Chanzhou in person!" Zhenzong still hesitated after hearing this.
Prime Minister Bi Shi'an remonstrated: "What Lord Kou said is exactly what the current situation requires. The world is in danger. I hope your Majesty will put the overall situation first."
Kou Zhun continued: "In the past, Emperor Taizu conquered the world on horseback, but now the world is in danger. It is reasonable for your majesty to resume using the holy sword to defend our country in the Song Dynasty. Marshal Yang and all the soldiers have spilled their blood on the battlefield and swear to the death. Report to Your Majesty. Why is Your Majesty so hesitant in saving the country?" After saying this, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground and in unison asked Zhenzong to personally conquer. "
Seeing this situation, Zhenzong had no other choice but to follow everyone's advice and prepare to go out that night.
After the officials dispersed, Wang Qinruo pulled Bi Shi'an over and said, "I'm looking for someone to watch the sky at night. There are some bad omens, which may not be conducive to my Lord's trip."
Bi Shi'an said generously: "I have various bodies. If the celestial phenomena change, I would like to use Bi's signs of decline to respond to the celestial phenomena."
Wang Qinruo wanted to stop his own expedition, but when he heard what Bi Shi'an said, he was anxious and annoyed, so he had no choice but to leave...
That day Yelv Xingnan hurriedly returned to the Tianmen Gambling Hall and sat down angrily. Zhang Bushan came to greet him early: "How come your Majesty is so cool?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Thanks to the Lord Skeleton Castle for saving me today, otherwise he would have died long ago. Kou Zhun has been prepared for me to enter his urn."
Zhang Bushan said: "We are well prepared, why should we follow other people's traps?"
Yelv Xingnan sneered and said: "Yes, our plan is indeed comprehensive, but someone is secretly informing the Song Dynasty, otherwise it would be easy for me to kill the Dog Emperor."
Zhang Bushan asked: "Who does your Majesty think this person is?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Let's not discuss this matter for now. Let's go down and call Liu Lizhan, Niu Gui She, and Dong Yijian, saying that I have important matters to discuss."
Zhang Bushan obeyed the order and went down to deliver the report. Soon everyone arrived.
Yelv Xingnan said: "Although our king has returned in defeat today, he cannot let go of any opportunity. I think the time has come for Daliao to launch a general offensive. I hope that you will give your full help to achieve a great event for our Khitan."
Liu Lizhan was the first one in front of him and said: "We, the generals, will swear allegiance to Daliao to the death, and we will never have any second thoughts."
Behind them, Niu Gui She and others also spoke in unison to help Daliao.
Yelv Xingnan said: "Okay, thank you all very much here in Xingnan." He then continued: "If we can't assassinate Emperor Song today, I think he will be on strict guard in the future and take advantage of this to act early. So I want to do it tomorrow." I will go for another assassination later in the evening. This time I don’t want Zhenzong’s life. I want everyone to bring Kou Zhun’s head to see me. If Kou Zhun is removed, my serious troubles can be eliminated and the Khitan’s great cause can be accomplished!”
Liu Lizhan said: "I wonder how the king will arrange it?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Niu Gui Snake and the Japanese Yi Jian went to assassinate each other. No matter whether they succeed or not, don't go back to the Tianmen Gambling Bureau. The four of you can just rush to Chanzhou City. Assist Empress Dowager Xiao to eliminate the remnants of the Natural Gate. "A few people said yes. Yelv Xingnan said to Zhang Bushan: "General Manager Zhang will go to Chanzhou City to help in the battle first." Zhang Bushan said yes.
So Yelv Xingnan called a few people back, and called Prince Chai of Lai'an. When Yelv Xingnan moved the capital to Tianmen Gambling, Prince Chai also followed. She did not enter the palace to meet the emperor, but went to the court to see the emperor. He made a secret visit and informed Yelv Xingnan about the palace guards, giving him an opportunity to assassinate him. Yelv Xingnan said to King Chai: "Your Majesty rushed back to Lin'an immediately and transferred all the 50,000 guards from the palace to Tokyo to await orders.
King Chai returned to Lin'an after hearing the order. At this moment, he did not know that his fifty thousand guards had been transferred back to Tokyo by Kou Zhun to defend Tokyo.
At this moment, only Liu Lizhan was left in the room. Yelv Xingnan ordered him to summon Hai Yingzi, and Liu Lizhan brought Hai Yingzi there when he was young.
Hai Yingzi asked: "I wonder what the king ordered me to do?" Yelu Xingnan said: "If it weren't for Feng Yue Mei, I would not call him brother Hai Ying."
Hai Yingzi asked in surprise: "What's the beauty?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Recently Xiao Yuerong injured Xiao Talan with an arrow, causing Xiao Xianfeng to die. Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to have lost her arm. Our army's vigor has been greatly reduced, and we have been unable to attack Chanzhou for a long time. Now Xiao Yuerong has ruined my assassination mission. This person is not Nothing but good things."
Hai Yingzi asked in surprise: "Your Majesty asked me to kill Xiao Yuerong. Am I not asking for my own death?"
Yelv Xingnan sighed: "Xiao Yuerong is invincible only to Yan Zhen and the Skeleton King. Now that he is in Tokyo, it is even more difficult to hurt him."
Hai Yingzi said inexplicably: "The villain doesn't understand the king's intention?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Let's get rid of Xiao Yuerong's natural gate first, and measure the waves that Xiao Yuerong, no matter how powerful he is, can't trouble him."
Hai Yingzi said: "The king asked me to go to Chanzhou to destroy the Natural Gate?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "No need to ask any more, I'll send you a letter from me to Empress Dowager Xiao of Chanzhou City, and she will make her own arrangements then." Hai Yingzi nodded and asked, "I wonder what kind of romantic jobs your Excellency has arranged during this period? "
Yelu Xingnan said: "Yun Lingyan and Wu Hongyan both have all kinds of romantic and charming looks. Let brother Haiying choose. Isn't this a good job?" Hai Yingzi smiled and said: "Is it really a good job?" Went down too.
Liu Lizhan asked: "What should the villain do?"
Yelv Xingnan said: "Brother Liu has been working hard for the cause of Liao Dynasty. A few days ago, he worked with me to eradicate Yan Zhen of Jinhuotang, which can be said to be indispensable. I ask Brother Liu to stay with me now, and then I will have my own Arrangement." After saying that, he asked someone to bring out a large plate of jewelry and give it to Liu Lizhan. Liu Lizhan's eyes widened when he saw it. He held the jewels in both hands and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Liu Lizhan retreated with a smile.
Yelv Xingnan watched Liu Li Zhan walk away and couldn't help but smile coldly.
The wind is blowing and the night is not over.
Yelv Xingnan stood outside the Tianmen Gambling Bureau, blowing against the wind, looking at the boundless black screen in front of him, and thinking. The sleeves of his robe were fluttering in the night wind.
"Why doesn't the king fall asleep yet?" Suddenly someone behind him asked. Yelv Xingnan didn't look back, he already knew who this person was.
