Monument Yangmen

Chapter 683
Even if Yelu Xiezhen is willing to feed on the enemy, and the officials are willing to donate money and materials, there is still a drop in the bucket.

"I have something to say..."

A middle-aged official in his 30s suddenly stood up. Looking at his unique felt hat and fur attire, it proved that he was a general.

Xiao Talin, the Metropolitan Superintendent of the Southern Courtyard, is the No. [-] figure in the Grand Palace of the Southern Courtyard, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and a confidant of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Seeing Xiao Talin speak, the Empress Dowager Xiao's face became much gentler, "Does Chiyu have a good plan?"

Chiyu is Xiao Talin's cursive script.

Empress Dowager Xiao can be in the imperial court and call her intimately, which shows that she has a lot of love and trust for Xiao Talin.

Xiao Talin nodded, bowed and said: "At present, the army is about to go out, but because the treasury is empty, it is difficult to send troops. As far as I know, although our Daliao treasury is short of money, in the capital, there are There's a lot of money in one place."

Xiao Talin seemed to wake up the dreamer with a single word.

All the officials in the court immediately thought of the place Xiao Talin was talking about.

All the officials subconsciously looked at Queen Mother Xiao.

It was a special place, and it was also a place beyond the control of the Great Liao Dynasty.

On top of this court, it seems that only Empress Dowager Xiao can barely intervene in that place.

From the eyes of all the officials, Empress Dowager Xiao could easily tell what place Xiao Talin was talking about.

Empress Dowager Xiao said with an unnatural expression: "You want me to let me steal my daughter's private money?"

When it really came to Daliao's life and death, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't mind grabbing her daughter's private money.

It's just that Daliao hasn't reached the end of its rope yet.

The officials were unwilling to bleed, but wanted Empress Dowager Xiao to steal her daughter's private money, which made Empress Dowager Xiao a little annoyed.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao had her own plans in mind.

In fact, she has been thinking about those money for a long time. She wants to save the money for the little emperor to use when he grows up.The little emperor has grown up, and if he wants to secure the throne in Daliao, he will naturally have to fight a tough battle, winning a battle to boost his power.

The reason why Empress Dowager Xiao kept the money was to pave a smooth road for the little emperor.

However, it was obvious that Baiguan was not willing to let her do what she wanted.

Seeing Empress Dowager Xiao's unsightly complexion, the officials couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty.

Because the Empress Dowager Xiao did not speak, no one could get the money out of that place.

Xiao Talin carefully glanced at Empress Dowager Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, the battle is imminent, there is no other way. Zhao Guangyi summoned an army of one million to attack this time, clearly with the intention of destroying our Daliao .

If it is because of a little money, the war will be delayed and the war will be defeated.Then we in Daliao are afraid of the disaster of destroying the country. "

Xiao Talin's words were not exaggerated, what he said was very real.

Although there is a little selfishness in it, it is more public.

After all, the Xiao family is a descendant family, and they both prospered and prospered together with Daliao, and lost each other.

Under Xiao Talin's persuasion, Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to be struggling a little.

She looked down at the little emperor in her arms.

Seeing her son's ignorant eyes and his well-behaved appearance, she slowly made up her mind.

Money can be earned slowly, but the late emperor entrusted the country to her, so she must guard a complete country for her son.

"it is good!"

Empress Dowager Xiao almost popped this word through her teeth.

Taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager Xiao said unwillingly: "The money does not belong to the palace, nor does it belong to Daliao, nor does it belong to you. You should be very clear about who the money belongs to.

It was left by Yang Yansi to the consort Yang Yanhui, and that girl Tie Jing was not qualified to use it.

Only Yang Yanhui and his and Tie Jing's son are eligible to use it.

Although Yang Yanhui is my son-in-law of Daliao, he can only be regarded as half a Liao, so I don't need to care about him.

However, he and Tie Jing's son is Ben Gong's grandson, a pure Liao man with noble royal blood flowing through his body.

Taking money from him, if there is no explanation, how will I face my grandson's questioning in the future? "

No one questioned what Empress Dowager Xiao said.

Indeed, Yang Yanhui can only be regarded as half a Liao man, even if he is a consort-in-law, he can only be regarded as a mid-level nobleman.

But his son is a Liao man, a Liao man of noble blood.

For this, no one dares to question.

Because in the Daliao Kingdom, anyone who is stained with the blood of the Yelu family is considered the top nobleman.

More importantly, whether it is the child's grandmother or the child's uncle, they are the most honorable people in Daliao.

Of course, the child also has an equally honorable uncle.

Although his uncle is not considered a Liao people, he can even be said to be the deadly enemy of the Liao people.

But relying on his uncle's ability, no one dared to question that the other half of the child's blood was not noble enough.

All in all, it's just such a little guy of noble blood, who can't be said to be civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty.

Is it useful to reason and give an explanation to a little guy who can't even speak?

Empress Dowager Xiao made it clear that she wanted to embarrass the officials, but the officials had to suffer from being dumb.

At the end, only Qi Qi bowed to the Empress Dowager Xiao, "Everything is up to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, and her smile was full of sarcasm, "I am a woman in this palace, it is difficult to decide such a matter. My emperor is the real master of Daliao, and also the uncle of that little guy. This matter is up to my emperor." Let's decide."

Empress Dowager Xiao lowered her head, looked at the cute little emperor who was pretending to be serious, and asked softly: "My lord, you heard that too. Now that the country is in trouble, I want to borrow some money from your little nephew. Tell me, what can we do about it?"

The little emperor had a stern face, rolled his eyeballs, and said, "Conferred the title!"

Empress Dowager Xiao was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Why do you have such an idea?"

The little emperor tilted his head, and said seriously: "When you return to your mother, the emperor read Tang history a few days ago, and saw that those who donated money to the country when the country was in great trouble were all conferred knights..."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and nodded, "The emperor's words are reasonable, so tell me, what kind of title should you confer on your little nephew? He borrowed a large sum of money to the court..."

Empress Dowager Xiao deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and changed donating money into borrowing money.

The meaning is obvious, it has to be paid back.

How can we repay the money borrowed from the war?

Naturally, it is exchanged for the dividends of the war.

Very early on, when the Liao people first made their fortunes, they understood one thing.

The purpose of war is profit.

Perhaps in terms of culture, the Liao people are much different from the Song people; but in terms of understanding the law of the jungle, the Liao people understand far more thoroughly than the Song people.

The reason why the Liao people frequently invaded the Song Dynasty was because it was profitable to invade the Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, in the war between Da Song and the Liao people, Da Song has been in a situation of spending money, and rarely gains any benefits from Liao.

Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to determine the distribution method of war profits before the war started.

Although the money was nominally returned to Princess Tie Jing's son, it still belonged to the little emperor in the end.

As for borrowing a large amount of money, the little emperor has no idea how much it is.

But he listened enough to Xiao Zhuo's words, knowing that the large sum of money that Xiao Zhuo can specially ask must be a lot of money, and it is very important.

So after the little emperor listened to Empress Dowager Xiao's words, his face became very serious, and he said very seriously: "Conferred the title of prince!"
