back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 386 The Pain of the Liao Kingdom
After hearing this, Lu Chengqi understood.In the official history, Di Qing served as a privy envoy, and was repeatedly suspected by the emperor and court ministers, and finally died of depression at the age of 49.In this time and space, because Di Qing did not achieve the official position of privy envoy, he received relatively little suspicion, so he has lived until now.

Lu Chengqi nodded, and said: "Qi Que can't be saved by using skills, how can medicine and stone be able to catch up? Since Liu Yuyi has done his best, let's do his best and obey the destiny. Liu Yuyi has worked hard. If there is no use for lunch, the imperial dining room There are still dishes, I will give you a lunch."

Doctor Liu said: "Your Majesty's grace, how dare I not accept it? It's just that I've had lunch and I'm so tired that Your Majesty is concerned."

"That's very good. If nothing happens, you can step back." Lu Chengqi said lightly.

Liu Yuyi said goodbye: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body, and I will leave."

Lu Chengqi was also unambiguous, and stepped into the Chui Gong Palace.As expected, during Lu Chengqi's absence, there was not a single memorial.It is estimated that the cabinet played a huge role in helping him handle most of the state affairs.

Lu Chengqi, who had nothing to do, walked to the dragon chair and sat down, and began to practice calligraphy with a brush.To practice calligraphy, you must be calm.If you are impatient, not only can you not write a word well, but you will also be upset and depressed.This practice of calligraphy is the best project for self-cultivation, and it is also to cultivate Lu Chengqi's calm temperament as an emperor.Mount Tai collapses in front but does not change its color, and the elk rises to the left without blinking. Are these words referring to generals?As an emperor, one must have such qualities.If something big happened, the emperor himself would be in chaos first, not to mention the whole Dashun.

Just when he was copying the "Yan Qinli Stele" written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher of the former dynasty, he wrote less than [-] characters, and when a piece of rice paper was not filled, a small yellow gate hurried into the Chuigong Hall, bowed and said : "Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the Supervision Department."

Lu Chengqi stopped writing and raised his head, reaching out his hand to accept the secret message.Judging from the form of the secret report, it should be a secret report from abroad.If it is a domestic secret report, it will be wrapped in a wooden box painted with wax.As for foreign secret reports, because they must be kept secret, they can only be in the form of letters.

After waving the small yellow door back, he deftly picked apart the wax and took out a letter full of numbers.Ordinary people would have no idea what it said.And Lu Chengqi knew that this was his "invented" cipher book, and he needed special books to decipher it.

Seeing the words "21" written on the envelope, it means that a code book with No. 20 is used.This password book corresponds to a book.Lu Chengqi got up and went to the bookshelf, took down a collection of Anthology of Analects from the row of books marked with numbers, and then corresponded to the numbers on the secret newspaper, and translated it into a paragraph: "Holy Majesty, the birth of a girl has already been taken by me." The inspectors instigated and prepared to openly rebel against the Liao Kingdom. Giving birth to the Jurchen patriarch, Wanyan Wugun wanted to get my Dashun's support."

After roughly understanding the content, Lu Chengqi began to think about it: "The Jurchens have always been rebellious, and the Khitan people have always regarded them as thorns in their eyes. Even if there is no provocation, they will rebel sooner or later. However, from the previous letters, the number of the Jurchens is not large. Many, it is indeed difficult to fight against the Liao Kingdom alone. Moreover, after Dashun and the Liao Kingdom have made good friends, they will face even greater pressure. Anyway, the necessary assistance must be given, otherwise the Jurchen tribe will be wiped out by the Khitans, and Dashun will have to go alone Facing the Liao Kingdom, it is not worthwhile."

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi sent a personal eunuch to pass on Xu Jingchun, the director of the Supervision Department, and prepared to give some benefits to the Jurchens.It's nothing more than some food, some weapons that have been eliminated by Dashun, and some iron ore.

In the Linhuang Mansion of the Liao Kingdom, in the Khitan Palace, the Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom was furious: "Yelü Yixin, tell me, why did those birth girls turn against each other again? I have treated them well all these years, and I have never recruited them. The warriors in their clan, why do they still force me?"

Yelu Hongji was considered a successful emperor of the Liao Kingdom, at least most of the military power was in his hands, and his prestige was very high.But when he was furious, the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan didn't have any expression on his face.

But it's a pity that he doesn't make trouble for others, but others want to make trouble for him.Yelv Yixin, who had always been at odds with him, said: "Your Majesty, I will ask the emperor's uncle about this matter. The mature woman is really the emperor's uncle's tribe, and the birth girl is next to the emperor's uncle's tribe..."

Seeing that Yelu Yixin led the disaster to the east with no integrity, Yelu Zhongyuan couldn't help it: "Mr. Beiyuan, what you said is wrong. The Jurchens are under my command, so they are submissive. I don't know why. , Ever since someone decided to suppress Sheng Jurchen, Sheng Jurchen has never stopped tossing about. Your Majesty will naturally understand who is right and who is wrong here."

It has to be said that Yelu Zhongyuan's Tai Chi skill broke the position beautifully.Although he is not good at leading the army, but in the court of the Liao Kingdom, there are few people who are his opponents, except Yelu Yixin, the fellow magistrate of the Northern Academy in front of him.

Yelv Yixin was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and immediately retorted: "Uncle Huang, who are you targeting with your insinuations? Since the first emperor, Shengnuzhen has been tossing and tossing. His Majesty has agreed to suppress Shengnu. You Are these words questioning His Majesty's decision-making? Or, do you have the heart of disobedience?"

This sentence was extremely heartbreaking, and Yelu Zhongyuan said coldly: "The North Academy is good at eloquence, but if you were not the leader, how could your majesty make this decision? I, Yelu Zhongyuan, have been loyal to Daliao You can learn from the moon. How can you be the one who can turn a deer into a horse with a few words?"

Seeing that they couldn't stop arguing, Yelu Hongji felt upset and shouted: "Enough, you still don't think I'm annoying enough? I want you to come up with a solution, not to see you bickering!"

Yelu Yixin glanced at Yelu Chongyuan and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the emperor's uncle is not good enough to lead the army. If he is allowed to keep guarding the northeast, I am afraid that the birth of Jurchen will be a big one. I think that the emperor's uncle's tribe should be withdrawn to Linhuang. Mansion, replace Beifu Prime Minister Xiao Xulie to suppress, can win a battle..."

Even a man can't stand others saying he can't do it, and Yelu Chongyuan was even more furious, shouting: "Yelu Yixin, you are so bold! As the emperor's uncle, why can't I lead the army?"

Yelu Yixin counterattacked unceremoniously: "It's a trash that can't even beat the southerners, so what if I say a few words?"

Yelu Hongji saw the quarrel started again, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang is old, it is inevitable to be negligent in battle, Yelu Yixin, what you said makes sense, so do it. But you are right Uncle Huang is disrespectful and fined you half a year's salary, can you accept it?"

This is clearly showing favoritism to Yelu Chongyuan, but it is actually shielding Yelu Yixin.If the colleagues of the North Court had lived on their salary, Yelu Yixin would have starved to death long ago.There is not much difference between having and not having a mere half-year salary.

Yelu Chongyuan also knew that since the defeat, his reputation had plummeted, and even this nephew didn't trust him very much.He is now a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering, so he could only say: "The minister leads the decree!"
