"My lord, I'm really sorry, but we cannot agree to this request of King Liao."
Jin Jing resolutely rejected the request of the palace servant... No, it should be Yelvertu's request. He looked at the chamberlain, then at Yelu Heyi who came with the chamberlain, and shook his head gently.
"It's not that we don't give face. This request is too outrageous for us."
"Is this what the military advisor wants, or..." the chamberlain glanced at Shen Cha, who was sitting next to him without saying a word, "What does the general mean?"
"It is our common intention." Shen Cha stared at the chamberlain for a long time with a cold face, "Whether the former King of Liao enters the royal tomb is an important matter within your country and the Yelu family. It should be decided by the King of Liao or the head of the Yelu family. Let us decide the outcome. We and the Duan family are all foreign ministers. We are here to express our condolences, but we have no qualifications or position to interfere with your country's internal affairs." She looked at Yelu Heyi and then at The chamberlain said, "Please go back and tell the King of Liao, I'm sorry to have to obey."
"This..." Looking at the expressions of these two people, the chamberlain knew that they had made up their minds, and it would be useless to waste words. He stood up and saluted Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "Since the general and military advisor said so, I'll take my leave."
"Sir, go slowly!" Shen Cha raised his chin towards Mei Lin, "Go and see off the master and General Yelu."
"I'll send it off!" Yelu Heyi smiled at the two of them, "I have to explain some things about the assassins to the general and military advisor."
After saying that, he led the chamberlain out of the inn and watched his figure disappear into the vast snow before turning back.
"General, military advisor!" At Shen Cha's signal, Yelu Heyi sat down across from the two of them, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Young master sent me to follow because I was worried that the two of you would agree to this ridiculous request. Although The young master also knows that the two of you will never agree, but it is still just in case. Moreover, the young master asked me to stay in the name of explaining the assassin's situation, because he was worried that someone would come to lobby you. If someone really comes, let me It must be blocked.”
"Your young master is interested." Jin Jing poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of Yelu Heyi, "Seeing our rejection, you relaxed. When we first came back, you were still very nervous. I remember your young master I said that this matter will be resolved soon, why are you still struggling?"
"It's ridiculous to say that now someone from the Yelu family has jumped out and said that the late king cannot enter the royal mausoleum or the ancestral grave because he is not from the Yelu family at all." Shen Cha and Jin Jing both looked surprised. , Yelu Heyi spread his hands, "My young master has told you that if you two are asked, you should tell the truth and there is nothing to hide. The person who raised this objection has always been against the king, the prince and the young master, and has given them all these years. It has caused a lot of trouble. Young Master suspects that someone from this group was also involved in what happened to Major General Ling."
"Yeluling?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked at each other, "Are people from this lineage the same as the Xiao family?"
"Of course not. When the Queen Mother came to power, their lineage suffered heavy losses. If the people in the Yelu family hate the Xiao family the most, it is not the king, the prince, or my young master, but them." Yelu Heyi sighed. He said, "Their lineage was almost lost at the hands of the Queen Mother, so it is absolutely impossible for them to collude with the Xiao family. Besides, the Xiao family was the one who advocated for the late king to enter the mausoleum. On this point, their attitude is the same as that of the king." of."
"Is there any famous person from this lineage?" Jin Jing lay on the table and looked at Yelu Heyi curiously, "It seems that I have never heard of it before. It seems that there are no children who have entered the officialdom, right?"
"The military advisor is right. The children of their lineage are in charge of the affairs of the clan. They are in charge of the weddings and funerals of the clan, the children's schooling, etc., but they never participate in the affairs of the court. That's right. Because of this, they suggested that the previous king’s bloodline was impure, which attracted everyone’s attention.”
"According to your statement, if the former King of Liao is really not a member of the Yelu family, they have seriously neglected their duties and they will not be able to escape their involvement."
"The military advisor is right." Yelu Heyi nodded, "It will take some time to find out the ins and outs of this matter, but not now. Most people, including the king, the prince, and the young master, I think the most important thing right now is to let the late king’s coffin go into the mausoleum while the envoys from various countries are there, and other things can be left alone. But... they don’t agree, and we must clarify the bloodline issue.”
"Then do you think the objections they raised are true or false?" Shen Cha yawned, "If it is nonsense, don't pay attention to what they say and do whatever you want. If it is true, As for the matter, just catch the person who handled it and interrogate it. Just sitting in the hall and arguing will not solve any problem. Or... is there a mystery behind this matter? "
"The general is wise, and he hit the nail on the head." Yelu Heyi nodded heavily at Shen Cha, "After several days of investigation, we found that they are no longer satisfied with just handling clan affairs, and want to have a foothold in the court. land."
"This is human nature, and it's not an exaggeration to have such an idea, but they don't have to use this kind of damaging move that can hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt themselves eight hundred! I believe the King of Liao is still willing to help the children of the clan , they can clearly raise it with the King of Liao." Shen Cha was puzzled, "Why don't they ask the King of Liao for any unspeakable secret? Have they had any enmity before?"
"I don't know this very well, but the elder who leads him does not like to see the king very much. But he is an elder, and the king will treat him as a son and nephew when he sees him, so those who dislike or don't like to see him will , you can just pretend you didn’t see it. Moreover, that elder has always been aloof and arrogant. If he is asked to lower his body and ask the king, it would be better to give him a knife. "
"For the sake of the future of one's own children, it is not a shame to lower one's head occasionally." Jin Jing shook her head in disapproval, "What he is doing now cannot achieve his goal at all. Didn't anyone persuade him? Once this is confirmed It's a false accusation. Let alone establishing a foothold in the court, it would be better if they don't open an ancestral hall and expel them from the clan. That elder is so old and has experienced a lot, can't he understand this? "
"This..." Yelu Heyi shook his head, "I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't know him well."
"According to our current inference, that elder wants more than just seeking an official position in the court." Shen Cha snorted, "The hidden secret should be here. What he is thinking about is probably …”
"General, you can't say this nonsense, this...this..." Hearing Shen Cha's words, Yelu Heyi was so frightened that he almost fell off his stool, "Isn't it?"
"It's not nonsense, it's a reasonable speculation. Otherwise, there is no way to explain what they are doing." Jin Jing stretched out her hand to support Yelu Heyi, "You also said before that they were under Major General Yeluling. They were also involved in the case, but it was not deeply involved. They probably just wanted to test it out. Seeing Yeluling's fate, they felt that the King of Liao...well, after becoming the King of Liao from the Regent, he would never protect his people. The approach became more obvious, and the restrictions on the clan members became stricter. This idea was probably used. Because the former Liao king was not supported by the Liao king. If the former Liao king was not a bloodline of the Yelu family, then the Liao king's guilt was not small. . When they are proven guilty of this crime, they will incite speech and propose that the King of Liao step down. At that time, they will have the opportunity to replace him. But they only deal with clan affairs all year round, so they should not be concerned about such conspiracies and calculations. I’m not very good at it, so I didn’t expect that I would be able to take responsibility.”
"One more thing." Shen Cha held out a finger, "They feel that their majesty in the clan is higher than that of the clan leader, so as soon as they raise this question, everyone will believe it is true. They just need to prepare As long as there are appropriate witness statements, they believe that no one will attack them and the people they push out."
"This is about interrogation." Jin Jing explained, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the King of Liao enters the royal tomb a day or two later. You can ask them to hand over the witness statements and interrogate them fiercely. It will definitely be solved." There are loopholes.”
"The military advisor's suggestions are very good. They must be reviewed and we must not let them lead us by the nose!"
Yelu Nan's voice came from the door. Yelu Heyi jumped up from his stool, ran to Yelu Nan and Yelu Lan, and took over the cloaks they took off. When he saw the third person entering the door, he couldn't help but pick a He raised his eyebrows.
Shen Cha and Jin Jing were also quite surprised when they saw the third person. Even if they were on the same side in this matter, they didn't think that this person came to the inn to see them specially. After all, they were at the palace banquet. On, they shocked people into silence.
"What a rare visitor. Mr. Xiao is here. I wonder if you have any advice?"
