back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 461
As the empress dowager of Daliao and the birth mother of the emperor of Liao, Xiao Tali's life is quite comfortable.When Yeluliang asked to see her, she really lived on a gallop and played polo.The imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom is not as petty as Dashun. It is called taking care of the people, and the imperial palace is small and exquisite.The imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom is very spacious, and the name may have "courtyard", but it is actually larger than a single hall of the Dashun Imperial Palace.

Before the founding of the Khitan people, the pommel horse was their home, and everyone could ride a horse, even the empresses and concubines of the past dynasties were no exception.Xiao Tali, as the eldest daughter of Xiao Xiaomu, the former privy envoy of the Northern Court, also knows how to archery and horse riding, and goes hunting in the army, which is as good as a man.Even as I get older, I still like riding horses.It is said that this polo came from the Central Plains, and the Han people in the Central Plains called it "Jiju". Xiao Tali fell in love with it immediately when he saw it.He never tires of it, and even formed a polo team, galloping with them in the yard every day to hit the ball.

Just after hitting the goal, Xiao Tali already had some wrinkles on his face, and he smiled happily.Just at this moment, the palace maid reported that Yeluliang, a fellow acquaintance of the South Court, was asked by Dunmu Palace to see him.Xiao Tali got off his horse when he heard the words, and after handing the stick to the maid, he wondered: "Why is Yeluliang here? Could it be that something happened in the court today?"

The maid did not dare to answer the words. Xiao Tali, as a generation of virtuous queens, has a very keen sense of politics, and has gradually smelled something wrong.As the Dunmu palace envoy bestowed by the first emperor, and also the authority to know the affairs of the empress dowager's palace, even Yelu Hongji couldn't remove him from his official position.As long as Yeluliang himself is not stupid, it is absolutely fine to live his life smoothly.

Xiao Tali also understands that once Yeluliang enters the palace to act, there must be some serious incident.Without thinking too much, he immediately said, "Call him in!"

After finishing speaking, after taking the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and gently wiping the sweat off his face, Yeluliang came in.

"Emissary Dunmu, it's rare for you to come to me this time. Do you have something important to report when you come here today?" Xiao Tali asked earnestly, staring at Yeluliang.

Yeluliang looked at the maids and servants around Xiao Tali in embarrassment, Xiao Tali's heart was like a mirror, and he naturally understood his meaning: "You all go down first!"

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

After the maids and servants left, Xiao Tali picked up the tea with goat milk, took a sip, and said, "Yeluliang, can you speak now?"

Yeluliang immediately knelt down and said: "This morning, His Majesty heard the rumors from the people in Shangjing that they want to hunt white tigers in Taizi Mountain..."

"Oh?" Xiao Tali was a little surprised, "This is a good thing, why is Dunmu Palace envoy so panicked?"

Yeluliang said: "It's so strange that Yelu Yixin, the co-prefect of the Northern Academy, brought up this matter, yet the emperor's grand uncle wants His Majesty to put state affairs first and oppose His Majesty's hunting."

Xiao Tali also felt that it was normal: "What's wrong? Yelu Yixin, the co-prefect of the Northern Academy, has always been at odds with the emperor's uncle. No one in the court knows about this?"

Yeluliang also knew that Xiao Tali could not be persuaded by this point alone.He couldn't tell a lie, so he explained exactly what Queen Xiao Guanyin said to him.Hearing such words, Xiao Tali also became nervous: "Unexpectedly, Uncle Huang is so cruel and wants to put my son to death!"

Yeluliang knelt down and said: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty favors the emperor's uncle and dare not act rashly. You can only whisper to the Queen Mother. In today's world, only the Queen Mother can persuade Your Majesty to change his mind. Minister Yeluliang is loyal to Daliao, The moon can be used as a lesson, please be aware of it, the Queen Mother!"

Xiao Tali was a very decisive person, and he immediately said: "If it is true what Xiao Hudu said, your Majesty's trip will definitely be a disaster. As the empress dowager, how can the Ai family sit idly by? You are here Wait, I will let His Majesty come here!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tali called a court lady to come in loudly, and said: "Go to Kaihuang Palace and find Your Majesty, and tell me that I caught a cold because of playing polo yesterday."

The court lady took the order and left, while Yeluliang got up silently and stood aside without making a sound.Xiao Tali said: "If it is an ordinary matter, His Majesty may not come so fast. With his temperament, he does things in a hurry, maybe later, he led the troops to Prince Hill."

Yeluliang lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty has such filial piety, which is rare."

The two said something insignificant, and within a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the palace.The imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom can race horses, but except for the emperor of the Liao Kingdom and the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom, no one else has this honor.Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the two people in the palace knew that it was Yelu Hongji who had arrived.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

After Yelu Hongji rushed into the palace, he found that Xiao Tali and Yeluliang were having a good time talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to be sick.He couldn't figure it out for a while, and turned to Yeluliang angrily, saying, "Mr. Zhi of the Southern Court, you are so bold!"

Xiao Tali said quickly: "Don't blame him, I ordered you to do so."

Yelu Hongji said dumbfoundedly: "My lady, there are a lot of affairs in my country, why are you still making such jokes?"

"There are a lot of national affairs, why give up hunting?" Everyone said that Mo Ruomu knew his son, Yelu Hongji cocked his tail, Xiao Tali knew what tricks he was going to play.

Yelu Hongji gave Yeluliang a hard look, and then said: "Mother, I am not here to hunt for fun, but for my Daliao. Do you know that there is a..."

"A white tiger came out, right? Let me tell you, you are in your thirties, why do you still think so simply? In my Daliao territory, apart from the east, where are there any big bugs, let alone the ones that look like you? Snow is a big bug!" Xiao Tali said mercilessly.

"But the rumors will not be groundless after all! Everyone in Linhuang Mansion knows about it, and even the big worm hurt several hunters! The meaning of the white tiger, the empress must not know? Let me tell you... "

Before Yelu Hongji finished speaking, Xiao Tali interrupted him and said coldly: "I don't know, but I know one thing, someone wants to use this to harm you and usurp the throne!"

Yelu Hongji was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke: "In the Great Liao, there are such people with evil intentions? I have millions of troops, who dares to be so overconfident? "

Xiao Tali looked at Yelu Hongji who was so arrogant and conceited, he was angry and angry, and said: "My son, don't be too happy, although you have a million troops, you can divide 20 troops in the northwest to defend the tribes, and divide the troops in the southwest with ten troops. Ten thousand guard against the Uighurs, another hundred thousand guard against Dashun, and another hundred thousand defend the Northeast against the Jurchens. The palace tent army in Linhuang Mansion is only 30! It's only 35. If someone tells you to go hunting, you will definitely not bring 35 troops by your side. You will only have 10 people by your side. At that time, they will collect [-] people to ambush you at the foot of Mount Taizi. You...you can still Can it fly out of someone's palm?"

Xiao Tali was so angry that he couldn't even finish his sentence, Yelu Hongji also knew that what she said was right, but he still couldn't think of who would be so bold, he asked in a deep voice: "Who is the person who wants to plot rebellion?"
