Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 497
"Do you think the Liao Dynasty will take action?" In the backyard of Daxiangguo Temple, Emperor Shi was playing chess with Zhao Kuangyin.

The reason why they came here was that Fu Ermei and Xiao Hunian both came to offer incense. Unexpectedly, as a Liao native, Xiao Hunian also believed in Buddhism very much. Emperor Shi had no choice but to accompany them.

I didn't expect to meet Zhao Kuangyin's family unexpectedly under the old willow tree outside Daxiangguo Temple. I didn't expect that he also accompanied his wife to worship Buddha.

The old ladies went in to worship the Buddha, protected by the forbidden army, and they were not afraid of anything, so Emperor Shi and Zhao Kuangyin chatted on the stone table outside the courtyard to relieve their boredom.

Lao Zhao is now a direct bachelor of the Privy Council, a senior official of the Privy Council, and in charge of military affairs. Although he can't lead troops to fight, he can participate in the country's military decision-making. He has lived up to Emperor Shi's high expectations. A military strategist who has fought many battles, Shi Congyun can rest assured when he makes military decisions.

Regarding this question, Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Officials, from a certain point of view, it will definitely happen, but it must be kept secret, and we have to hide it."

"If the people of the Liao Kingdom dare to act now, they must think that we know nothing about it. If they know the secrets of the officials and have already guessed about their thoughts, then they will be afraid of throwing a mouse, and they will never dare to take risks." The old man Zhao Dao, a big black face is very close.

Shi Congyun nodded. Indeed, Xiao Siwen and others must have thought that he knew nothing about Ye Luxian in Yongxing Palace and their ambitions, because after all, in this era, transportation is inconvenient and communication technology is backward. In order to guess their secret plan.

Presumably, even among Xiao Siwen and others in Nanjing, this is top secret news, only a few people know it, and they think that it is impossible for Emperor Shi to know it anyway, and they have never even thought about this possibility at all, unless Shi Congyun is not man, but God.

Of course, Emperor Shi is not a god, but he has read history books!
In history, Yelujing, the current lord of the Liao Kingdom, died incomprehensibly. He was assassinated by several servants and cooks. As soon as he died, Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and others in the South Court immediately led the army to support Yeluxian, and then Xiao Siwen sent Yeluxian to the throne. The daughter married Yeluxian as the queen, and immediately stabilized the court.

This is recorded in the history books, but Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and others give people a weird feeling of "coming prepared", and this coup is almost the same as the Chen Qiao Mutiny in the Song Dynasty, there are too many doubts that are difficult to resolve Said, so everyone suspects that this is a coup planned by Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and others, as well as opponents in the Liao Kingdom.

Emperor Shi also believed in this statement, because he knew the complexity and complexity of a state machine, and Xiao Siwen, Gao Xun and others almost supported Yeluxian as soon as Yelujing was assassinated, and then stabilized the situation, unless they and Liao Many people at the top of the country have reached a tacit agreement in advance, otherwise it is impossible for things like the assassination of the emperor not to cause great turmoil.

Of course, Xiao Siwen and the others thought that they were a secret plan that was confidential and confidential, but it was a pity that Emperor Shi had read the script, so he paid attention to this matter and Yongxing Palace from the beginning.

Moreover, he found that because of the two defeats and the loss of soldiers and generals, the domestic conflicts in the Liao Kingdom came faster and more intense than in history, but because of Emperor Shi's several times of stirring up shit, they have not acted yet, probably a few times Qin The actions of the army disrupted their rhythm.

With all kinds of trivial news from the spies in the Liao Kingdom, Emperor Shi felt that the day when they launched a coup was not far away.

In the Liao Kingdom, only the senior members of the Privy Council and a few prime ministers knew about this matter. Some of them did not believe it, and felt that the emperor should not place his hopes on the internal strife in the enemy country.

There are also some people who believe that although this matter is indeed outrageous, Emperor Shi has been wise and powerful for more than ten years, and he has exhausted his strategy. But they still chose to believe in Emperor Shi's judgment.

Old Zhao is one of them. Of course, whether he is sincere or flattering, Emperor Shi does not know.

In any case, Old Zhao is very insightful, Shi Congyun nodded, "You are right, no matter what, let them believe that I don't know and don't care about things in the north, what should I do? Dajun It has already been dispatched, and this time they are even more hesitant."

Old Zhao frowned and pondered, and after a while he said: "Guan, there is a way!"

"Let's hear it." Shi Congyun immediately approached curiously. He rarely put on airs with his subordinates and courtiers except in formal occasions.

Old Zhao came over and said a few words, and Emperor Shi frowned after hearing this: "Is this possible?"

"It's best to publicize it in advance, and it's best to start this winter. Let Concubine Shu from Jiangnan preside over this matter, and make it bigger." Old Zhao instructed.

Emperor Shi nodded, "You can indeed give it a try."

Hearing this, Old Zhao grinned, looking at his big black face, and hearing his plan, Emperor Shi finally became convinced that Old Zhao deserved to be the one who could bring about the Chenqiao Mutiny, he was capable!
In the afternoon, everyone had a fast meal in the backyard of the monastery.

This time Shi Congyun asked Lao Zhao to stay and eat with their family, just like eating a homely meal. During the dinner, everyone chatted, and Lao Zhao's daughter-in-law was very nervous. Lao Zhao, who has experienced many battles, is much calmer.

As we talked, because when talking about the recent incidents of Daliang security, Lao Zhao mentioned his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi who was a gatekeeper at Fengqiu Gate.

Emperor Shi sighed in his heart, he still can't forget your stinky brother!

But in fact, it is not difficult to understand. In ancient times, elder brothers are like fathers, and Zhao Kuangyi is 12 years younger than Lao Zhao, which is a full round. In Lao Zhao's heart, he really regards his younger brother as his own son.

It's a pity that people don't treat you as a father. Shi Congyun shook his head and said directly: "Zhao Aiqing, you are capable, but your younger brother is really inferior to you, let's talk about something else."

Seeing what he said, Lao Zhao was very savvy, and immediately stopped talking about his stinky brother, and continued to talk to Emperor Shi about the recent security situation in Daliang City.

Because in the past ten years, the population of Daliang has increased a lot, and many people from all over the country gather in Daliang, which has brought heavy pressure on Daliang.

Moreover, because many descendants of high-ranking officials are concentrated in the capital, some of them still maintain the style of the Five Dynasties, which leads to the deteriorating public security situation in Daliang.

Although these discords have been covered up in successive victories, Lao Zhao's opinion is that they must be rectified severely, otherwise something will happen sooner or later, and the sooner the better.

To do this kind of thing in the capital, you must have a courageous, courageous and ruthless person to do it.

Emperor Shi immediately looked at Zhao Kuangyin, damn, aren't you recommending yourself!
Because in history, Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor of the Song Dynasty who killed the most ministers, and he was relentless in killing corrupt officials. He once again killed more than 100 recruits for strict military discipline. He is a ruthless man.

Most importantly, this is an errand that offends others. If Lao Zhao is allowed to do it, he will offend many people and he can sleep soundly.

So he immediately looked at him with bright eyes. Old Zhao is a smart man, and his face collapsed in an instant, and his big black face became even darker.

Emperor Shi got up, and patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "What Aiqing said is very true. I also think that the security of Daliang, especially those noble children who are misbehaving, should be rectified sooner rather than later. You are a capable person. This matter I'll leave it to you!"
