Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 342 Follow the Order!

Xijing City

It was already past the fixed watch time, and the imperial study room was still brightly lit. While yawning, Song Jue looked at the notes and memorials sent by the ministers, and made notes and instructions on them from time to time.Recently, Xijing City has encountered a severe snowstorm that has not been encountered in decades, and some residential houses have been damaged as a result, and people have even froze to death.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Pan stood aside, looking at Song Jue's sleepy look, feeling very distressed, "It's getting late, it's time to rest."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Song Jue waved his hand, "There are still many people in the city suffering, and I want to tide over this difficulty with them."

"Your Majesty...be kind!" Eunuch Pan raised his head to look at the roof, and when he heard the movement from above, he looked at Song Jue, "Your Majesty?"

"Go!" Song Jue waved his hand, continued to yawn, reached for a bowl of strong tea, squeezed his nose and drank it.

Hearing the noise from the door of the Imperial Study Room, Song Jue looked up and saw Eunuch Pan walking in with a man in black.

"The last general will see my emperor, long live my emperor!" The man in black knelt on one knee and saluted Song Jue.

"Thirteen?" Song Jue stood up, walked around the desk, walked up to Ying Thirteen, stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you go back to the border? Why... did you come out?" What's the matter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ying Shisan looked at Song Jue and then at Eunuch Pan, "It is confirmed that King Liao has passed away."

"..." Song Jue and Eunuch Pan subconsciously rubbed their ears when they heard this, and they looked at each other, seeing shock on each other's faces. "Passed away? There were rumors that he was seriously ill, but why did he pass away so quickly? The news... is it really accurate?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!" Ying Shisan nodded, "On the way to Beijing, the last general received news from the border gate that Yelunan came to the gate alone. On the surface, he came to report a funeral, but in fact... Definitely an alliance."

"Make an alliance..." Song Jue nodded, and gestured to Eunuch Pan, signaling to give him a seat and tea, "This alliance must be made, we can't form an alliance with Jin, it's just..."

"Your Majesty, it's useless to form an alliance with Jin." Ying Shisan talked about Wanyan Zongcheng's coma, "Looking at the current situation, we can swallow Jin and divide it up only if we form an alliance with Liao, otherwise...the two sides Maybe you can go back to the alliance and deal with us together." Ying Shisan looked at Song Jue, "Your Majesty means..."

"Sure!" Song Jue sneered, "Since the situation has developed to the point where the arrow is on the line, we have to do it. Jin's destruction is doomed, so we should obey God's will. Besides, for public and private, Jindu They are our big Xia's confidantes, get rid of them, and we can concentrate on dealing with Liao, so that we don't have to be distracted to deal with them."

"Your Majesty, forgive me for talking too much." Eunuch Pan bent slightly, "Liao is not easy to get along with. Forming an alliance with Liao is also seeking skin from a tiger. If you are not careful, you will easily hurt yourself." Seeing Song Jue nodding, he straightened up Looking at Ying Shisan, "Shen Guogong, Xue Houye and General Shen have a way to deal with it?"

"Eunuch Pan's concerns are right, but..." Ying Shisan finished his tea and wiped his mouth lightly, "Now there are no more, even if they want to take advantage of us, they have more than enough energy."

"Oh" Song Jue and Eunuch Pan looked at each other, "Why? "

"The new king of Liao has been appointed, and it will be Yelu Ertu."

"Yelultu?" Song Jue rubbed his arms and then his face, "Oh my God, I don't need to sleep tonight after hearing such horrible things. If I remember correctly, He once said that he would never become king, so he is... reneging on what he said? Slapped his own face?"

"Yes, but this is probably the result of a compromise between the major tribes and forces in the Liao Kingdom. However, this news has not been made public, but because it was confirmed by Yelunan himself, our people also confirmed that Linhuang Mansion The family and important officials have left the palace and returned to the palace, and Yeluertu has confirmed that he will start exercising his power as king."

"Who is the candidate for the Liao king that was decided before?"

"...Yelulan." Ying Thirteen cleared his throat, "The Duke, Lord Hou, and the boss mean...you can form an alliance with Yelulan and Yelunan, because this does not prevent us from inciting them to fight against Yeluertu. relationship between."

"I'm afraid we don't need to deliberately provoke their previous relationship?" Song Jue shook his head, "Yeluertu's move is really bad. The relationship between father and son, uncle and nephew can still be eased, but if he does this, not only will the relationship not be eased, but the relationship will deteriorate even more. Yelulan and Yelunan will appear to be indifferent on the surface, but secretly..." He shook his head again, "Yeluertu, I'm getting old and my brain is not working. Then, how do Haolin, Xiaotian and Xiaocha reply to Yeluertu about the alliance?"

"Of course I agree, if you don't agree, how can you provoke them as much as possible?" Ying Shisan smiled, "Both the Duke and the Lord think that Yeluertu will hand over Wanyanxi's affairs to Yelulan and Yelunan, but the boss thinks that the possibility is unlikely. Before the end will go out, they haven't discussed a result yet."

"Haolin and Xiaotian's thinking is right. Wanyanxi's matter is related to the interests of Yelu's family, and he will not hand it over to outsiders. Yeluertu probably also knows that his son and nephew have opinions on him, but he is wrong. As long as he doesn't Touching Ni Lin, he probably wouldn’t do anything to them. After you go back, tell Haolin, Xiaotian and Xiaocha that as long as it’s beneficial to Daxia, let them do it freely and don’t have to worry about it. .If anyone in Beijing dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will deal with them, so don’t worry.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"No need, Haolin and the others are all loyal ministers, and they are dedicated to serving the country. I can't hurt the hearts of loyal ministers because of some gossip." Hearing the footsteps at the door of the imperial study, Song Jue glanced at Eunuch Pan.

Eunuch Pan nodded, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, took the two food boxes in the hands of the waiter, waved his hand to let the waiter back, closed the door, came back with two food boxes, and took one of the food boxes. Put it in front of Ying Shisan, and carry the other one in front of Song Jue.

"Have you warmed up?" Song Jue smiled at Ying Shisan, "Eat something to fill your belly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and eat, you must be exhausted from the journey." Song Jue took out a small bowl of pigeon soup from the food box, "Pan Pan, the rest is yours."

"..." Eunuch Pan looked at the food in the food box, looked at Song Jue, and sighed softly, "The servant obeys the order."

"By the way, is it alright for Her Highness the Princess and the Grand Commander to be at the border?" Song Jue pinched a pigeon's leg, "Did they both get what they wanted?"

"The military adviser rejected Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness seems to have figured it out, and she doesn't seem to be entangled anymore. As for the commander..." Ying Shisan smiled, "It's really like a fish in water, and I hang out in the military camp every day. If I don't have to eat and sleep , he intends to live there often.”

"Sure enough, as His Majesty thought, the commander-in-chief is a little bit reluctant to leave."

"No matter how happy you are, you can't miss Shu. You have to come back when you should. Xijing City can't do without him." Song Jue yawned, seeing that there was half a tiger egg in Eunuch Pan's bowl, and stretched out his chopsticks to grab half of it. "Since the former Liao king has passed away, Yelunan came to report the funeral in person, which means that the funeral is about to happen. The Liao people in the city are not sure what they will do. Xiaobaizi has to come back to preside over the overall situation. Although Lao Lei is not bad, but here The acuity of aspect is still a bit weak, without Xiao Baizi, I am not at ease."

"Your Majesty, if there is a funeral in the Liao Kingdom, we must send envoys there. Since the commander-in-chief is at the border, the slaves think, why not..."

"Hey!" Song Jue waved his hand, "Since we want to form an alliance, envoys must be selected from Jiaping Guancheng." He looked at Ying Shisan, "When you go back, you will bring my handwriting. Xue Ruitian and General Changsheng Shen Cha led [-] elite soldiers to Linhuang Mansion to pay homage, Lord Zhen Haolin and Military Advisor Jin Jing commanded the Shen family army to guard the border strictly to prevent Liao and Jin from changing."

"The last general... obeys the order!"

　We have a meeting on Wednesday, and we have to stop for one day!
