Monument Yangmen

Chapter 643

It was the chief general of the Pishi Army who spoke, and he raised his head to look at Empress Dowager Xiao fearfully, then lowered his voice and said, "The sheep I mentioned... refers to the little lamb..."

"Oh!"

Empress Dowager Xiao slapped the table angrily.

Murderous.

The Pishi Army is the elite of the Liao Kingdom, and the salary they receive is also the richest in the Liao Kingdom.

However, with the salary of the Pi Shijun, he could only buy one lamb.

So, what about the other armies?

What about the people?
A towering and majestic Daliao Empire has reached this point, can it still be played?
"Why is this so? Why didn't I know about it until now?"

Empress Dowager Xiao was very angry. Since Manchao civil and military officials were unwilling to speak, she could only call names.

"Shangshu Hubu, tell me why this happened?"

"The minister...is guilty..."

The aged Hubu Shangshu knelt tremblingly at the feet of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her phoenix eyes, and said coldly: "Drag it out, cut it off!"

"Censor? Why have things come to this point, and I don't see that you have a book?"

"minister……"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng had a bitter face, hesitated for a long time, and then said one word.

"Drag out and chop!"

"..."

"Drag out and chop!"

"..."

"Drag out and chop!"

"..."

Empress Dowager Xiao questioned 16 people in a row and beheaded 16 people.

In her eyes, these people deserved death for their crimes.

As the censor of the Liao Kingdom, failing to report what he saw truthfully would be a capital offense.

As an official of the household department in charge of the Liao Kingdom's wealth, it is also a capital offense to cause such a great turmoil in the Liao Kingdom.

Empress Dowager Xiao felt that these officials of the Manchu Dynasty deserved to die.

"Xiao Cheng! Tell me, why is there such turmoil in my Daliao?"

A middle-aged official suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, trembling all over.

He is Xiao Cheng, descendant.

Empress Dowager Xiao's cousin.

Empress Dowager Xiao took Xiao Cheng for surgery, and the ministers felt a little thumped in their hearts.

The officials that Empress Dowager Xiao killed before were all Han Chinese, and did not touch people from the eight Khitan tribes.

So they all pretended to be indifferent and indifferent.

Now that the Empress Dowager Xiao is taking someone from the Xiao family under her knife, it would be terrible.

According to Empress Dowager Xiao's usual style, it is natural to kill one of her own people first, gag everyone's mouths, and then start to kill slowly, one by one.

This is terrifying.

This shows that Empress Dowager Xiao is really angry, and she is really going to raise the butcher's knife to kill wantonly.

"Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Cheng. The reason why my Daliao is in such turmoil is all because the Queen Mother favors the Han officials. These Han people are not of the same heart as us Khitan people. They must be planning something shady behind the scenes It's because of my deeds that it caused such turmoil in my Daliao."

Taking advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack, the party is united in attacking differences.

Look for an opportunity to put a black pot on the head of the person who doesn't like it.

This is a common practice in court.

This trick may have worked well before, but this time it obviously didn't work.

Empress Dowager Xiao was really angry, how could she be fooled by the courtiers?

Empress Dowager Xiao stared at her phoenix eyes, and said coldly: "When I tell you to speak, you don't speak. When I don't let you speak, why do you want to speak?
What I asked was Xiao Cheng, did I ask you? "

The civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty trembled in fright, and stood in the main hall one by one speculating and restless.

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Xiao snorted coldly, and questioned Xiao Cheng again, "Xiao Cheng, I am asking you something."

Xiao Cheng was trembling all over, and stammered: "Chen...Chen...Chen..."

He appeared terrified and could not utter a complete sentence.

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, she was even more annoyed when she saw how miserable the members of the Xiao clan were.

"Things that are worthless, drag them down and cut them off!"

"..."

"Sister-in-law wait a minute!"

At the critical moment, Brother Yeluxiu stopped the Empress Dowager Xiao by speaking out.

If the knife were to fall on the heads of the Xiao clan, that tragic massacre would be unavoidable.

Since Empress Dowager Xiao began to hang the curtain, the court has been cleaned up five times, and she dare not kill again.

Brother Yeluxiu stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, state affairs are the most important thing, and now is not the time for massacres. Now our Daliao is facing internal and external troubles, and we still need someone to appease the people.

Might as well give them a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

The most important thing right now is Da Song.

The envoys we sent this time happened to meet Zhao Guangyi who woke up, and we didn't get any benefit from Da Song.

The Tongtai Pass was breached and 10,000+ clansmen were slaughtered. We have to ask Da Song for an explanation. "

Empress Dowager Xiao had a gloomy face, undecided, for a long time she looked at the civil and military courts, and said coldly: "For Brother Xiu's sake, death penalty is inevitable, and living crime is inevitable. Each family has [-] cows and [-] sheep, full of For military supplies. There is no shortage of family members, and if there are fewer families, don’t blame me for killing people.”

This is an obvious robbery.

Manchu civil and military officials suddenly fell silent.

You want too much, we don't want to bleed, you'd better kill someone!

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao raised her phoenix eyebrows, ready to speak.

Brother Yeluxiu took the first step, and said in a cold voice: "Don't be shameless. Right now is the most difficult time for us in Daliao. This king knows exactly how much each of you has earned this year. Let you spit out some, too. For your own good. You have already pushed the queen mother into a hurry, so don't push the king into a hurry.

Otherwise, I don't mind removing one of the eight Khitan clans.

Under the dangerous nest, there are no eggs.

A short-sighted person is not qualified to sleep with Daliao and the country. "

At this time, Han Derang suddenly said with a smile: "If the Han family can be promoted to one of the eight Khitan clans, on behalf of the Han family, I am willing to donate 20 cattle and sheep each."

Caught off guard a move to draw fire from the bottom of the pan.

The nobles of the eight Khitan tribes gritted their teeth and agreed to the threat of Empress Dowager Xiao and Brother Yeluxiu.

The status of the eight Khitan clans was piled up by the people of their various clans.

They sacrificed their lives far more than hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

There is no need to abandon the reputation of the eight Khitan tribes and let Han Derang take advantage of it for the sake of 20 cattle and sheep.

Really want Han Derang's Han family to climb up and become one of the eight Khitan clans.

Then, except for the Yelu clan of the imperial clan and the Xiao clan of the later clan, the rest of the clans are all in danger.

In the Liao Kingdom, there are many Han people who want to become the top nobles in the Liao Kingdom.

They are very hardworking and have accumulated a lot.

Just missing an opportunity to replace it.

"The ministers and others would like to obey the orders of the queen mother and the prince."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty softened.

Only Han Derang sighed unwillingly.

Although he knew what brother Yeluxiu said just now was just a threat, but he hoped that it was true.

No matter how favored Han Derang is, no matter how high his status is.

The Han family is far from being able to compare with the Khitan Eight Clans.

Perhaps after Han Derang's death, three or four generations of the Han family declined.

But it is different after joining the Khitan Eight Clans.

Once one has entered the Khitan Eight Clans, as long as Daliao survives, the clan will continue to prosper.

However, hope can only be hope.

Even if Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to let the Han family join the Khitan Eight Clans, Brother Yeluxiu would not allow it.

After searching the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty once, the Empress Dowager Xiao's expression eased a little.

She started talking about Da Song with Brother Yeluxiu.

"Brother Xiu, this trip to Da Song coincided with Zhao Guangyi waking up, and our goal has not been achieved. If we want to get justice from Da Song, we have to fight.

Just now, Bengong ordered someone to take stock of the treasury. The money in the treasury can't even afford the food and pay for sending troops. How can we fight against Song Dynasty? "

Han Derang interjected: "Be patient?"

"inappropriate!"

Brother Yeluxiu shook his head and said: "This battle must be fought. This king knows Zhao Guangyi very well, and Zhao Guangyi knows me very well, Daliao. I, Daliao, have rarely suffered losses in the past few decades in the face of Great Song, even if I did. , we will retaliate soon.

We suffered a loss this time, if we don't take revenge and go back.It is easy for Zhao Guangyi to perceive the internal worries of my Daliao.

At that time, Zhao Guangyi will definitely attack with heavy troops.

At that time, I and Daliao are afraid that the country will be destroyed.

Therefore, the more this time comes, the less we can avoid the war, but face the difficulties.

To confuse Zhao Guangyi, let him know that our Daliao cannot move. "

Brother Yeluxiu's words fell to the ground, and the civil and military personnel in the hall spoke out in support.

Although they are greedy, they also know the root of Liao.

On the contrary, Han Derang, who had fought all the way because of the breach of the Tongtai pass, was now discouraged.

"Send troops rashly and have no food and grass. If we lose, it will be even more detrimental to Daliao."

Empress Dowager Xiao said with a frown.

Brother Yeluxiu said: "We Liao people came out of the white mountains and black waters. The reason why we came out is because we have no food and grass, and we are starving and cold. All we have are horses in our crotches and sharp knives in our hands. .

At that time, we had nothing, and with our hands, we created a huge Liao Kingdom.

Now that we have a huge country, how did we learn from the Han people?

The culture of the Han people is worth learning.But the military regulations of the Han people are not worth learning.

If the military regulations of the Han people are really good enough, they won't be beaten up by us Liao people every time. "

"The King of the Southern Courtyard is right..."

"That's right, why are we Liao people afraid of war?"

"Song people are just a bunch of lambs."

"..."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty spoke out one after another in support of Brother Yeluxiu.

Empress Dowager Xiao was indecisive.

"Let me think again and retreat."

Empress Dowager Xiao said to Brother Yeluxiu: "Brother Xiu, I will leave it to you to urge everyone to hand over their cattle and sheep. After getting the cattle and sheep, send some of them to the Pishi Army first. The Pishi Army can't be messed up."

"Sister-in-law! Da Song..."

"Let Ben Gong think again..."

"Hey!"

Brother Yeluxiu let out a long sigh and exited the hall.

All the officials in the hall disappeared.

Only the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor remained.

Empress Dowager Xiao caressed the little emperor's head responsibly, "Emperor, when will you grow up? After you grow up, the prime minister will govern, and the queen mother will not have to worry about these troublesome things."

The little emperor blinked his big eyes, he felt the sadness in Empress Dowager Xiao's heart, and felt uncomfortable.

"Queen, my son thinks what the emperor said is reasonable, why don't you agree to the emperor's request."

Empress Dowager Xiao stroked the little emperor's head, said with a wry smile: "My lord, you don't understand. Brother Xiu's statement is reasonable, but it is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the entire Daliao will be in turmoil.

Once the soldiers and horses going south were defeated, the Song people took the opportunity to invade our Daliao.At that time, my Daliao will become very dangerous. "

The little emperor clenched his fists and said angrily: "Uncle Huang is so powerful, he will definitely not be defeated by the Song people."

Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said with emotion: "Maybe it was before, but since the Yang family dominated the northwest, our Daliao troops have repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of the Yang family. If you go to the Yang family, it's hard to say."

The little emperor frowned and said: "Mother, didn't you say yes, a man should be able to take it and put it down, but more importantly, don't be bullied?

We were bullied, why can't we fight back?
Uncle Huang also said that we walked out of the white mountains and black waters with nothing.

As long as we have horses under our laps and knives around our waists, we are not afraid of anyone. "

"Ha ha……"

Empress Dowager Xiao pinched the little emperor's nose dotingly, and said gratifiedly: "The little guy has grown up, and he knows how to teach your mother a lesson."

"The emperor dare not..."

Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head and sighed softly: "My lord, today's Daliao is different from the former Khitan. In the past we had nothing, so we could fight for anything. But now we have everything, and we can use what we have It's not worth it to take risks.

There is a saying in the Song Dynasty that it is easy to fight the country, but difficult to defend the country.

The queen mother is a woman, there is no way to make Daliao's country bigger, and she doesn't have that ambition.

The queen mother only wants to help you, the emperor, guard this country.

When you grow up in the future, it's up to you to display your ambition and conquer the people of Song Dynasty.

do you understand? "

The little emperor tilted his head, nodded, and shook his head again.

He said seriously: "Some understand, and some don't understand."

Empress Dowager Xiao was amused by the little emperor's serious look, "Hehehe... When you grow up, you will understand."

"When will the minister grow up?"

"soon……"

"My son has grown up, can he beat Yang Yansi? He bullied Sister Han last time."

"..."

There is a saying that says Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Just when the little emperor was talking about avenging Han Qiong, Han Qiong entered the main hall from the apse.

"Greetings to Queen Mother, and His Majesty."

Han Qiong wore a fox fur cloak that symbolized the concubines of the Liao Kingdom, and inside was a robe made of brocade. When she arrived in the middle of the hall, she saluted slightly.

The little emperor was obviously very happy to see Han Qiong, he broke free from Empress Dowager Xiao's arms, and rushed towards Han Qiong.

"Sister Han!"

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned subconsciously.

Han Qiong was bumped into her arms by the little emperor. She hugged the little emperor and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty will not be able to call you sister concubine in the future. Concubine is your wife. When your majesty and concubine get married, you will be concubine." As Concubine Shu. So you should call my concubine Concubine Shu."

Han Qiong winked at the little emperor playfully, and said, "Of course, you can still call me Sister Han when you're in the palace. But I don't wake up in front of you."

Respectful yet intimate.

Be courteous without losing warmth.

The frown that Empress Dowager Xiao frowned subconsciously relaxed.

The emperor is the emperor.

In the past, when Han Qiong was not a concubine, she called the emperor sister and brother, which was intimacy.

But to become a concubine and still call the emperor sister and brother, that would be disrespectful.
