Yelu Yanxi frowned and said: "Grandfather, don't you understand that the instability of the Jurchen ministries is secretly instigated by the Song Dynasty. The merchant ships going to trade with the Jurchens are all Song ships. If the Liao Kingdom just sits idly by and ignores it, it will definitely allow the Jurchens to become bigger." , and became a serious problem for the Liao Kingdom."

The benefits of ginseng were so great that the Jurchen tribes became increasingly rich and dissatisfied with the exploitation of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom could not sit back and watch the Jurchens become stronger. The contradiction between the two was irreconcilable. This was the conspiracy of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji sneered and said: "If Liao chooses to attack the Jurchens, it will really fall into the Song Dynasty's plan. Everyone knows that the Song Dynasty destroyed Dali, and the next plan is Xixia. Once the Liao Kingdom is restrained by the Jurchen ministries, If you stop, the Song Dynasty will definitely take the opportunity to destroy Xixia. Supporting Xixia and containing the Song Dynasty is also a century-old national policy of the Liao Kingdom, and there must be no room for failure."

"Since the imperial grandfather knows this truth, why is he unwilling to nip the Jurchen threat in the bud." Yelu Yanxi said puzzled.

Yelu Hongji said proudly: "Because the Jurchens are nothing to be afraid of! The reason why Xixia was able to establish a country is because Dangxiang has a population of several million, while the Jurchens have a population of less than ten thousand. They are nothing more than scabies. How can they threaten Daliao?" "

Yelu Hongji was extremely confident. The Liao Kingdom had millions of troops, while the Jurchen population was only ten thousand. Even with ginseng and weapons, it would not be a threat to the rule of the Liao Kingdom. If such a powerful Liao Kingdom could not defeat the little Jurchens, The Emperor of Liao was too much of a waste.

Yelu Yanxi argued hard: "Since it is scabies itch, it must be treated in advance, otherwise it will inevitably become psoriasis and become a serious problem in the future."

Yelu Hongji was a little disappointed with Yelu Yanxi and said: "Dali was destroyed because the south of it was the Bagan Kingdom. It had no way to retreat and could only be destroyed. However, this was not the case for the Jurchen tribes, which had a wider area to the north. The bitter cold land is covered with forests. Once our Liao army conquers it, the Jurchen tribes will definitely flee into the forests of the bitterly cold land and continue to harass the Liao Kingdom. At that time, we will surely lose our footing. We are now the biggest enemy of the Liao Kingdom. It is the Song Dynasty, and it is in the interests of the Liao Kingdom to support Xixia against the Song Dynasty."

Yelu Yanxi didn't take it seriously when he heard this.

"Now that the Jurchen tribes are still peaceful, Daliao only needs to increase heavy taxes on them and restrict their development. There is no need to force them to rebel for the benefit of ginseng." Yelu Hongji hammered Yelu Yanxi.

He knew that Yelu Yanxi wanted to monopolize the interests of ginseng, because the Jurchens were dissatisfied and interfered with the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty, which eventually led to a great reduction in their interests. However, this behavior was extremely short-sighted in the eyes of the emperor, and personal gains and losses were always greater than Not in the national interest.

"Grandpa Huang taught you a lesson!"

Yelu Yanxi was dissatisfied, but she lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

After Yelu Hongji gave some instruction, he comforted him by saying: "After the situation in Xixia stabilizes, it is not impossible to attack the Jurchens, but you must have a good reputation and kill all the Jurchen tribes with one blow, otherwise they will be allowed to flee to the north." The virgin forest will definitely be an endless disaster for the Liao Kingdom."

"Grandpa Huang is wise!"

Yelu Yanxi bowed and said.

After Yelu Hongji finished teaching his grandson, he couldn't help but look a little tired.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take ginseng soup!"

Upon seeing this, a medical officer came forward and offered a bowl of warm ginseng soup.

Yelu Hongji did not take it. The eunuch next to him stepped forward to test the poison in person and tasted the drink. After waiting for a period of time to confirm that it was non-toxic, he served Yelu Hongji to take it.

Yelu Hongji picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all in one gulp. The medicinal effects contained in ginseng immediately shocked him.

"Thousand-year-old ginseng is indeed a life-extending medicine. Although the Song Dynasty wanted to use thousand-year ginseng to provoke hostility between Daliao and Jurchen, they found a life-extending medicine for me!" Yelu Hongji said with satisfaction.

Yelu Hongji is now nearly seventy years old and already very weak. However, the news that thousand-year-old ginseng can extend his life suddenly gave him hope.

Moreover, through his consumption and personal experience, he found that the thousand-year-old ginseng was real and effective in extending life. This was also the reason why he turned a blind eye to the Jurchen tribes. The sufferings of the little Jurchens were nothing compared to his life. important.

Even after he took ginseng, even his long-lost glory was able to revive, which surprised him even more.

At that moment, Yelu Hongji waved his hand and told Yelu Yanxi to step aside. He had more important things to do.

"Goodbye, grandson!" Yelu Yanxi bowed and left knowingly.

When Yelu Yanxi returned to the Taisun Palace, his close confidant Yelu Zhangnu immediately came up to him and said, "Your Highness Taisun, has your Majesty agreed to destroy the Jurchen tribes?"

Yelu Yanxi shook his head and said: "Now that the Song Dynasty has destroyed Dali and is in the spotlight, Grandpa Huang is worried that once the Liao Kingdom attacks the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom will fall into civil strife, giving the Song Dynasty the opportunity to destroy Xixia."

Yelv Zhangnu was immediately disappointed. The benefits of ginseng were too great. If he could control all the Jurchen tribes, he would be able to take away all the wealth and wealth from ginseng.

"What does His Highness Taisun mean?" Yelv Zhangnu asked tentatively.

Yelu Yanxi solemnly said: "The Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible if they are full of ten thousand people. Today's Jurchens are indeed less than ten thousand. However, with the benefits of ginseng, it is only a matter of time before the Jurchen tribes are full of ten thousand. By then, the Jurchens will definitely become a big problem. We Daliao must nip hidden dangers in the bud."

"In my opinion, it's not that the officials don't see the dangers of the Jurchens, but they don't want Daliao to attack the Jurchens and cut off the thousand-year ginseng that has kept him alive! If the emperor's grandson can ascend the throne, he will definitely be able to lead Daliao to its peak." Yelu Zhangnu sighed.

"Be careful! The emperor's grandfather lived to be a hundred years old, which is the great fortune of Liao Dynasty!" Yelu Yanxi scolded.

When Yelu Zhangnu saw that Yelu Yanxi was just scolding him, he immediately understood that he was also dissatisfied with Yelu Hongji. He immediately said more aggressively: "Your Majesty lives a hundred years, but it is the greatest misfortune for the emperor's grandson!"

Yelu Yanxi frowned. What Yelu Zhangnu said was true. As long as Yelu Hongji did not die, he would not be able to ascend the throne.

Yelu Zhangnu whispered: "Thousand-year ginseng is a prescription for longevity of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and it has been proven effective by many emperors. With thousand-year ginseng, no one can be sure how long your majesty can live. Your majesty now uses thousand-year ginseng." Tonic, it is said that he has regained his glory, and maybe one day he can give birth to a prince for the Liao Kingdom."

Yelu Yanxi's expression suddenly changed. His status was as stable as Mount Tai. The most important thing was that he was the only grandson of Yelu Hongji, and Yelu Hongji could only pass on to him.

Thousand-year-old ginseng has extremely powerful effects. If Yelu Hongji has another son, it goes without saying whether he is a son or a grandson. Now Yelu Hongji is only seventy years old. There are not many centenarians in the Liao Kingdom. If Yelu Hong If Ji lives for a few more decades, it's hard to say whose hands the throne will fall to.

"If something unexpected happens to His Majesty, Your Majesty the Grand Sun will definitely be able to sit back and relax." Yelv Zhangnu said with a fierce look on his face.

"No! Grandpa Huang is closely guarded. Even the food will be carefully controlled by eunuchs. No one will be given a chance. I just need to wait for the opportunity. One day I will ascend the throne and revitalize the Liao Dynasty." Yelu Yanxi panicked. road.

Yelu Zhangnu said confidently: "We have a perfect strategy, which is enough to make His Highness the Grand Sun ascend the throne without anyone noticing."

"The perfect solution!"

Yelu Yanxi's heart suddenly pounded.

Yelu Zhangnu was moved when he saw Yelu Yanxi and said, "As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old ginseng can prolong your life, but it may also be poison, enough to kill your majesty."

"Is the thousand-year-old ginseng poison?" Yelu Yanxi looked at Yelu Zhangnu in disbelief. Everyone knew that the thousand-year-old ginseng was the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng to extend life, and it was proven to be effective. How could it be poison.

Yelvzhangnu sneered and said: "The so-called deficiency cannot be replenished. Sometimes the tonic may be a kind of poison. It is precisely because the medicinal effect of thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely strong. After all, His Majesty is already seventy years old and his body has already been depleted. If the ginseng's Increasing the dose of medicine will definitely make your Majesty's body weak and unreplenished."

At that moment, Yelu Zhangnu directly placed five thousand-year-old ginseng roots in front of Yelu Yanxi.

"Five thousand-year-old ginseng!"

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but be shocked. Thousand-year-old ginseng has extremely strong medicinal effects. Sometimes just a thin slice can kill a dying person. If five thousand-year-old ginseng has the same medicinal effect. Yelvzhangnu whispered: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely precious. Even if His Majesty cannot take Thousand-year-old ginseng every day, he will use a small amount of Thousand-year-old ginseng every time, and then supplement it with Hundred-year-old ginseng to replenish the body. If the grandson makes His Majesty's ginseng soup Instead of the century-old ginseng in the recipe, use thousand-year-old ginseng to brew it all. Its medicinal effect will definitely increase a hundred times, leaving the official family weak and unreplenished. Moreover, all the ginseng we are waiting for is good medicine, even better ginseng, even if it is an evil doctor. Even now, no poison can be detected."

Yelu Yanxi's heart suddenly pounded. Just as Yelu Zhangnu said, this thousand-year-old ginseng is a tonic, not a poison. It is impossible to detect it. This is indeed a foolproof strategy.

"Evil recipe!"

Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Zhangnu looked at each other. At this moment, they finally understood why the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription was always harmful, because the evil prescription was difficult to prevent and had no flaws.

"I also have three thousand-year-old ginseng hidden in my palace. Let's use them together." Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth and said.

You must know that although Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Hongji are grandsons and the only heirs to the throne, Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Hongji have a deep hatred.

At first, Yelu Hongji acted ruthlessly in his life. His grandmother Xiao Guanyin, father Yelu Jun, and even his mother died at the hands of Yelu Hongji. This made Yelu Yanxi appear to be humble to Yelu Hongji, but deep down in his heart. Hate.

Not to mention, Yelu Yanxi now thinks that Yelu Hongji has become fatuous and he is the savior of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Yanxi was the grandson of the emperor and had a powerful influence in the palace. Soon, a bowl of ginseng soup made from thousand-year-old ginseng was delivered to Yelu Hongji.

Poison testing and drinking! Passed one level after another quickly.

Yelu Hongji immediately picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all in one gulp as usual.

After Yelu Hongji drank the ginseng soup, he suddenly felt energetic and even started to feel hot all over.

Yelu Hongji stretched out his hand, and the eunuch beside him immediately understood and began to summon the concubine to sleep with him.

On this night, Yelu Hongji seemed to have returned to his youthful days, showing off his power overnight and even concubining several women.

However, just when Yelu Hongji was sighing that he was getting stronger in old age, he suddenly groaned and a drop of blood fell directly on the face of the concubine of Liao Kingdom.

"Ah! Your Majesty, you..."

When the young concubine saw this, she screamed and saw that Yelu Hongji was bleeding from all her orifices and her face was pale.

"Royal doctor! Send the imperial doctor quickly!" A group of concubines urged.

Soon, news spread that Yelu Hongji was critically ill.

Yelu Yanxi entered the palace as soon as he heard the news. Looking at the dying Yelu Hongji, he shouted: "Quickly, prepare thousand-year ginseng to extend the life of the emperor!"

The imperial doctor on the side was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but want to comment, because according to his diagnosis, His Majesty's body was supplemented by too much Thousand-Year Ginseng and he was too dissolute, which was why he suffered this disaster.

However, Yelu Yanxi frowned when he saw this and said: "The false name of thousand-year-old ginseng is the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Do you think your medical skills can match those of the evil doctor Fan Zheng? You still think that your father has used it for thousands of years." Ginseng is a waste of life."

"I don't dare!" A group of Liao imperial doctors immediately lowered their heads to apologize.

At Yelu Yanxi's signal, Yelu Zhangnu quickly got some ginseng soup made from thousand-year-old ginseng, and in full view of everyone, he tested the poison and tried to drink it! And he personally fed Yelu Hongji and drank it.

After that, Yelu Yanxi was even more undressed, personally serving Yelu Hongji, and did not hesitate to take thousands of years of ginseng to extend his life. However, Yelu Hongji's condition became more and more serious.

"Grandpa Huang!"

Yelu Nanyin, who rushed back after hearing the news, rushed into the Liao Palace with a sad face, but saw his brother Yelu Yanxi's sad face.

"Sister Huang, Grandpa Huang has gone!" Yelu Yanxi said with a sad face.

Under his 'careful' care, he spent hundreds of thousand-year-old ginseng to survive for ten days.

Yelu Nanyin was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but stare blankly at the imperial grandfather who loved her the most. Although she, like Yelu Yanxi, had the same hatred as Yelu Hongji for killing her father and mother, but because she resembled the imperial grandmother Xiao Guanyin, Yelu Hongji was particularly fond of him, and coupled with the temptation of having no imperial power, Yelu Nanyin was more grateful than complaining to Yelu Hongji.

"I would like to inform Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that now that Your Majesty has passed away, the country cannot be left without a master for a day. Please ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty, to ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the Liao Dynasty." Yelv Zhangnu suggested.

"His Majesty once issued a posthumous edict to appoint the emperor's grandson to succeed him, and he also invited the grandson to ascend the throne!"

Upon seeing this, the ministers also took advantage of the situation and asked, "Emperor Grandson Yelu Yanxi is His Majesty's only blood relative, so it is natural for him to ascend the throne. Why not do it if they take advantage of the opportunity and gain the merit of being a follower of the dragon."

Yelu Yanxi knew clearly that although he was the only heir, it did not mean that other royal families were not interested in the throne. Only by ascending the throne as early as possible could he take the initiative.

After pretending to shirk several times, Yelu Yanxi officially ascended the throne as emperor, and was honored by his ministers as Emperor Tianzuo.

"Back then, my mother was framed by Yelu Yixin. Today I vindicate her. I posthumously named my grandmother Queen Xuanyi, and she was buried in Qingling together with my imperial grandfather."

"The imperial edict was framed by Yelu Yixin, and the officials and titles were restored. Those who had lost their status were released, and those who were exiled were returned."

"The imperial edict was issued to punish the Yixin party, leaving their descendants to the side. They were allowed to wait in the tomb, cut open the coffin, dig up the corpse, and distribute it among the family members of the family of the slain."

………………

The first thing Yelu Yanxi did after he came to the throne was to avenge his grandmother and father and severely punish Yelu Yixin and his associates. This was his biggest worry in the past twenty years, and now he finally got what he wanted.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers were as silent as cicadas.

"Invite Song and Xia to come to Beijing to mourn for the imperial grandfather." Yelu Yanxi issued the second order for ascending the throne.

Although the Three Kingdoms actually fought endlessly, they still maintained basic etiquette on the surface. According to custom, when the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms died, they would send envoys to each other to mourn. This is a tradition. When Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and Empress Dowager Gao passed away, the same was true for the Liao Kingdom.

Soon, the Liao envoys rushed to Song and Xia.

At this point, the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms are all young emperors who are young and enterprising.
