Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 435
"The officials said that there will be civil strife in the Liao Kingdom in the past few years?" In the main hall, several prime ministers looked at him in surprise.

In any case, this incident was so bizarre and shocking that even though Shi Congyun explained the reason and clues to them, the prime ministers still found it unbelievable that they could judge the affairs of the enemy's temple thousands of miles away?Could it be a fairy.

Everyone's reaction was beyond Shi Congyun's expectation, and he immediately understood that Ye Luxian had indeed usurped the throne in history, because Ye Luxian had a great reputation among the many emperors of the Liao Kingdom.

And Yelvjing also died unexpectedly, because he knew the result, so he retreated from such a result. When everyone knows nothing about it, of course, facing his statement will feel far-fetched. After all, the north is too far away, so easy to catch. Feng Chuying jumped to conclusions, without the seriousness of national decision-making, those who didn't know thought he had lost his mind and went crazy.

Emperor Shi even saw the deep worry in Fan Zhi's eyes
Damn, this old man might really suspect that he is crazy.

Shi Congyun had no choice but to change the tone of his affirmation, saying that it was his immature speculation that it might happen.

Having said that, a few people slowed down and began to think about the possibility of things.

"Officials, the Khitan people were originally a barbarian country. Disasters in the court occurred from time to time. The court was in turmoil. Coupled with several defeats, there was a possibility of mutiny." Wei Renpu said seriously.

Shi Congyun coughed twice, thinking that the south is not much better. The average emperor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms reigned for three to four years, and the dynasty changed every ten years. In comparison, the Liao Kingdom is extremely stable, right?

Of course he wouldn't say these things at such a time, he just agreed: "This is an important reason for what I said."

"The descendants of Yeluruan according to the officials"

"Yeluxian, it's in Yongxing Palace. What I got out of King Anping's mouth yesterday, Guo Jin's spies in Youzhou also said that many people from Liao Kingdom have been going to Yongxing Palace since this year."

When Shi Congyun slowly connected these clues for them, the expressions of several people gradually changed from disbelief to suspicion.

"Officials, does the ruler of the Liao Kingdom care about such actions? Could it be a trap." Fan Zhi cautiously asked a question.

"Yongxing Palace is far away from Shangjing. King Anping also told me that the ruler of the Liao Kingdom is not good at women, but he is addicted to hunting and wine and meat. He often hunts in the northern grasslands and ignores the government." Shi Congyun said smooth Desktop map, pointing to the upper right corner, "It's nearly a thousand miles away from Nanjing."

Everyone stared at the map for a long time before realizing that Liao Kingdom had different national conditions from theirs. The area of ​​the South Courtyard near Nanjing was dominated by Han people, followed by Khitan people, and the rest were mixed with other ethnic groups.

This part is headed by Youzhou, which is very Chinese.

The other part is dominated by the grassland tribes in the north of Shangjing and the northwest of Shangjing. The main body is the nobles of the traditional Khitan tribes and other grassland tribes under the rule of the Liao Kingdom. For example, the Mongolian tribes are also under the rule of the Liao Kingdom at this time.

Most of these people retain nomadic traditions and live in the northern grasslands all year round. Their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, their living customs and culture are also quite different from those in the south.

However, the current ruler of the Liao Kingdom is different from the later Yeluxian, Empress Dowager Xiao and their successors, who are still very nomadic. The in-depth Sinicization reform was carried out during the period of Yeluxian and Empress Dowager Xiao, so Yelujing is still on the grassland most of the time. .

His management of Nanjing and even Beijing is very loose.

"And it is very likely that after successive military defeats, many people in the Liao Kingdom may be ready to move, making Yelujing tired of coping." Shi Congyun said his speculation, and his words were not based on speculation.

"Yelujing's position is not right, there were many people who coveted it, there was a rebellion before, and now he has been defeated several times, his prestige is not as good as before, and there is probably an undercurrent in the court of Liao Kingdom.

At this time, Yeluxian, the direct lineage of the former lord, is extremely important. "Shi Congyun tapped the location of Shangjing on the map with his knuckles.

What he said completely shut up the old men, and they all began to think seriously.

"Officials are far-sighted and far-sighted." After a while, Luqiu Zhongqing couldn't help cupping his hands, his eyes filled with reverence.

Emperor Shi was very helpful. Who told him to read the past history, so that he could think of the later events from these clues. It is indeed very difficult to speculate out of thin air.

After that, Shi Congyun gave several prime ministers a task, which was to discuss a set of executable plans.

There are two main points. First, monitor the internal situation of Liao; second, if civil strife occurs in Liao, the Qin army must be able to intervene immediately.

For these specific implementation plans, Shi Congyun asked the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall to discuss them, and gave them half a month to make sure they were perfect and come up with a feasible plan.

As for himself, he took Xiao Huanghua and Lin Shanggong to Wei Mansion.

In the Wei Mansion, Empress Dowager Fu's belly was obviously swollen. In the small courtyard in the distance, there were dazzling flowers, and the second younger sister Fu was dancing a sword among the flowers.

Shi Congyun watched from a distance, and asked Lin Shanggong to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone for him, and Xiao Huanghua made tea for him. Looking at the yellow flowers in the courtyard, Shi Congyun felt it, and wrote down the words he had copied. of that word.

"Life is easy, God is hard to grow old, every year is Chongyang.

Today it is Chongyang Festival, and the yellow flowers of the battlefield are very fragrant.

The autumn breeze is strong once a year, not like spring.

Better than the spring, the boundless river and the sky are covered with frost. "

It's just that when he wrote it again this time, he had a completely different experience in his heart. At the beginning, he copied this poem in the mountains of Qinling Mountains just to pretend to be coercive, but now he is in a different state of mind.

Empress Dowager Fu also came over to watch.

"The words and sentences of the officials are unforgettable every time I read them, and they will be passed down through the ages, and those burning martial arts will be remembered by future generations." Empress Dowager Fu said softly.

Shi Congyun couldn't help getting up and hugging her in his arms, "It's better for you to speak nicely."

"But the handwriting is not good-looking." Empress Dowager Fu whispered.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore."

As he spoke, he took Empress Dowager Fu's hand, turned his head and said to the two followers: "You guys are playing here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and grabbed the hand of Empress Dowager Fu: "Come with me for a walk."

The flowers in the small courtyard were just in bloom, and the freshness of autumn was blowing in the wind. Empress Dowager Fu became more and more beautiful.

"You come into the palace with me, the child must have a father." Beside the flower bed, Shi Congyun finally stated the purpose of his trip.

Empress Dowager Fu took a look at Emperor Shi. She was not the submissive woman who let Emperor Shi bully her when she had a child. She suddenly read a sentence: "If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night?"

Emperor Shi froze for a moment.

"Officials can also write such touching love poems. Now everyone in the country knows that everyone knows that the official's affection for the concubine is really a lesson from heaven and earth, and everyone knows it." Empress Dowager Fu pouted slightly, originally graceful and luxurious A beautiful woman is like a jealous little girl.

But she quickly restrained her emotions: "Please show mercy to the officials. It's better for me and the imperial concubine to be on our own side, and I don't want the officials to be dragged down because of me. It's already very good in the Wei Mansion."

"Do you think I'm afraid of people with a bad reputation? I'm afraid of everyone when I'm sleeping, and I can say whatever I want." Shi Congyun said, he didn't care about the infamy.

Empress Dowager Fu blushed: "Butler. But I have my own insistence, and I ask the officials to help me."

Shi Congyun sighed and sat down by the corridor, pulling the Empress Dowager Fu to sit next to him: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, and I will make the child king when he grows up." He always respects the choices and persistence of women.

Perhaps for him, Emperor Shi, the comments of later generations are not worth mentioning, but for Empress Dowager Fu, that is what she values ​​very much, so there is a conflict between their ideas.

And what Empress Dowager Fu said was indeed reasonable, she and Zhao Shijian didn't get along, and it was not good to live together.

The two women are very strange. When there is a crisis, they can cooperate when he is not in the capital. But once the crisis is over, the two start to dislike each other again. Well separated.

On that day, Shi Congyun stayed in the Wei Mansion, but the lively and active Second Sister Fu was serving the bed. Since the Empress Dowager Fu did not want to enter the palace, the Second Sister should also stay in the Wei Mansion for the time being. The two sisters have companions.

In the days that followed, Emperor Shi became sensual again, quietly waiting for the good news from the south.
