Chapter 1245 Changes in the Liao Kingdom
Han Qingxiong, the son of the late Marquis of Wuning Han Lingkun, who attacked his father, was convicted of murder in anger, which caused a storm in Luoyang and caused a sensation.

Killing is worthy of death, regardless of high or low.At that time, in order to leave a line of incense for Han Lingkun, and also to save face for the begging Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Liu ordered that when Han Qingxiong subdue the law, let him keep a seed.

Therefore, Han Qingxiong was able to become a romantic ghost. Before he died, he actively created human beings in prison. After some hard work, the two women who were sent to the prison to get seeds were pregnant, and then they waited for the "drawing prize".

In the winter of that year, Han Qingxiong was taken to the execution ground to execute the death sentence.And his posthumous sons were born one after another after Emperor Liu went on tour last year.The first one was a girl, luckily, the second one was a boy.

According to Emperor Liu's imperial edict, this son can inherit the title and property of the Han family. Now, since he asked for his order, Emperor Liu will naturally not break his promise, nor does he intend to set up obstacles.

This was a gamble. Han Qingxiong made the right bet and was able to retain the incense of Han Lingkun's lineage. Emperor Liu recognized this result.

After Emperor Liu's will was communicated, the camp was intensively preparing for the departure. However, his westward tour was once again hindered.This time, it was no longer an internal reason, and the followers did not dare to object.

Inside, Emperor Liu was visiting Concubine Guo Ning. After the hard work in winter, Concubine Ning became pregnant.Li Chongju, the envoy of martial arts, came to see him in a hurry. When he heard his intention, Emperor Liu couldn't help pausing his pear peeling knife, and asked, "Has there been a change in the Liao Kingdom? What happened?"

Li Chongju glanced at Concubine Ning, and upon seeing this, Concubine Guo Ning stood up tactfully, and said in a gentle voice: "If the official family wants to listen to the government, the concubine should avoid it!"

"No need!" When she responded like this, Emperor Liu was more magnanimous, motioning her to sit down, cut the peeled pear into petals, and fed Concubine Ning himself, while gesturing to Li Chongju: "But it's okay!"

Hearing the order, Li Chongju no longer concealed it, and said with a serious expression: "The accident should have happened at the end of winter last year. The Lord of Liao led all the officials to sacrifice to heaven, held a banquet that day, and drank all night. However, on the next day, the Lord of Liao went to camp, and suddenly Martial law sealed off, and hurriedly returned to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.

Afterwards, the whole city of Linhuang Mansion was under martial law, and entry and exit were prohibited.Everyone in the Linhuang Mansion knew that this matter was unusual, so they dared not neglect, and immediately launched spies to inquire about the news.

I learned that not only the Linhuang Mansion was under martial law, but also the external traffic roads were also tightly sealed, and the Liao Palace was even more heavily guarded.All the troops inside and outside Liao Shangjing, including the tents and guards, were also fully equipped, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.

At the same time, a large number of messengers were sent from Linhuang Mansion to various parts of the Liao Kingdom. These signs are extremely unusual, so upon receiving the information, I immediately came to report! "

"It's more than unusual! I'm afraid something big has happened in the Liao Kingdom!" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu's expression also became serious, with a pensive expression on his face, he asked, "Is the news true?"

"The investigators dare not be negligent and negligent. It was only confirmed after several spies and lost a lot of secret rooms! After traveling to many places and through secret channels, the news was sent back to China!" Li Chongju endorsed for his subordinates, with a solemn attitude.

After saying this, Emperor Liu fell into thinking again. With his sense of smell, he certainly noticed the specialness of this matter. However, what Li Chongju reported was only superficial and not conclusive. What happened to the Liao Kingdom is still unknown. Learned.

But that's what makes it all the more interesting.You must know that the Wu De Division and the Military Intelligence Division's spies ambush inside the Liao Kingdom have been operating for nearly 20 years. They have also spied out many secrets in the past and sent back a lot of valuable news.However, like this time, there is no real substance, which shows the seriousness of the matter and the special situation.

"Code, you have been in charge of the Wu De Division for many years. You are used to seeing news and intelligence, and you are especially good at analyzing it. Tell me, what is the reason behind these abnormal actions in Liao Kingdom's Shangjing? What happened!" Liu The emperor finally moved, and continued to feed Concubine Ning pear meat, and even scratched her rosy lips.

Upon hearing this, Li Chongju was silent, and hesitation was revealed on his calm face.Most of the time, the intelligence information collected by Wu Desi was analyzed and sorted out by him and his staff before reporting to Emperor Liu.But this time, he just made a summary of the situation in Beijing. Obviously, he was also a little uncertain.

But Emperor Liu asked the question directly, and he had no choice but to give his thoughts. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I can only make some guesses based on the known information!"

"What's the hindrance to speculation! Tell me what you think!" Emperor Liu turned his head and sat upright.

Li Chongju cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom hasn't experienced such a strange situation for nearly ten years! Everyone inside and outside the capital is serious. The last time, it was the time of civil strife in Liao, but this time it was serious and close, even worse. Minister I think this is probably another civil strife or a coup d'état in the Liao Kingdom!"

"Really!" Emperor Liu just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Li Chongju said again: "However, I believe that this matter is still unpredictable. Although there are various signs, but..."

"If you have any ideas, just tell them directly, without hesitation!" Emperor Liu took a breath and said calmly.

"The Lord of Liao has been in power for nearly twenty years, and there have been countless rebellions within him, but none of them succeeded, and they were all suppressed by him. Now, he has a deep foundation in Liao, his authority is growing day by day, and his military power and political power are firmly in control. In his hands, he is always on guard against those who harbor dissidents in the clan. Under such circumstances, if someone is said to be able to succeed in a coup d'état, I feel that it is unlikely!"

"There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. The Liao country is good at wine and contemptuous. Maybe it was negligence this time, and it was taken advantage of by others?" Emperor Liu smiled lightly.

Li Chongju shook his head: "If someone really rebelled, with the foundation of the Liao Lord and his control over the military and political affairs of the Liao Kingdom, the development of the situation afterwards will never end here. I'm afraid someone would have raised the banner of King Qin to punish the rebellion! Minister Guan went to Beijing The situation, every move, is seeking stability, blocking news to determine the situation, I don't believe that someone in the Liao Kingdom can control the situation of the Liao Dynasty under the circumstances of the coup!"

"Then tell me, what's going on?" Emperor Liu obviously approved of Li Chongju's analysis.

After pondering for a while, taking a deep breath, Li Chongju said: "The situation is unclear, and I really can't judge lightly, but what is certain is that a major change must have taken place in the Liao Kingdom, and the big man should not take it lightly!"

"Yes!" Emperor Liu stood up, sighed, and said leisurely.

"This happened almost a month ago!" Emperor Liu asked suddenly.

"It's far away, the transportation is inconvenient, and the blockade of the Liao Kingdom is almost the same! There will be further news in the future!" Li Chongju said.

After taking a few steps, Emperor Liu suddenly raised his hand: "Why do I need to bother to guess what happened a month ago! If the Liao Kingdom changes drastically, I don't know what the situation is now!"

Emperor Liu's eyes turned to the northeast, his dark eyes were full of waves, and he had the urge to cast his gaze to Linhuang Mansion thousands of miles away.After a long time, Emperor Liu ordered: "Pass down the order and let the spies in Liao Dynasty move to monitor their every move. I want to keep abreast of their situation!"

"Yes!" Li Chongju obeyed and left in a hurry.

"Officials!" Concubine Guo Ning walked up to the thoughtful Emperor Liu and called softly.

After regaining consciousness, looking at Concubine Ning, who had already reached the age of a mature woman, Emperor Liu smiled wryly and said, "Guo Ning, I want to take a tour west and see Yumen and Yangguan with my own eyes. It's really not easy!"

"Because of the Liao Kingdom?" Guo Ning asked curiously.

Emperor Liu shook his head and said, "As early as last year, I was blocked by severe cold and stayed in Liangzhou. I had a premonition. Now that it has been two months, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. I wanted to continue westward. No, something happened."

"Isn't the situation in Liao Kingdom uncertain?"

Emperor Liu gnawed the heart of the pear in his hand, and said: "If the news from Wu Desi is correct, the Liao Kingdom must undergo drastic changes. If there are any changes in the Liao Kingdom, the big man must deal with it. My western tour can continue. go down?"

"Clean up, prepare to go back east!" Emperor Liu sighed.

In the next one or two days, the intelligence news from the Liao Kingdom can be said to come one after another. Although there is still no conclusive news, the description of the situation is more detailed and vivid, which makes people have to pay attention.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Kaibao, Emperor Liu issued an edict, and Luan drove back to Beijing. He walked simply and quickly without any delay.
