Chapter 5
Sejong is dead, who is the new emperor?

In the Forbidden Army Camp at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Siwen, who had just escaped to his death, sat opposite Yeluwuzhi, and in front of him was a letter sent by Shouan King Yelujing, saying that Chage sent someone to contact him, and wanted to cooperate with him and embrace him. For the emperor.Yelujing wrote this matter to the housekeeper, and attached the letter of cutting, which was upright and upright.Just like this, the anti-religious people are embarrassed.

Yelu Wuzhi spoke first: "What do you think?"

Xiao Siwen was silent.He was not good at arching horses since he was a child, so he devoted more attention to Sinology.Although his wife is Yelvjing's sister, he is closer to Yelvjing in terms of friendship, but in terms of political stance, he is closer to Sejong's idea of ​​Sinicization.

He knew the meaning of the house quality, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Shulu is very smart and has a city, but he is too smart..." Too smart, so he thinks too much, hesitates and repeats, can't trust people, can't become A good emperor.

Ya Zhi nodded: "I plan to support him."

Xiao Siwen was startled, and lost his voice and said: "In one night, we only escaped with our lives. He has such a backhand waiting, it is clear that the praying mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind." I believe that the quality of the house should understand.But he didn't expect that Wu Zhi would make a decision so quickly.This decision was too cold-blooded for Yeluruan, so he couldn't help but clarify the matter.

At this time, he was only in his 30s, and he was not yet able to fully become a cold-blooded politician like Ya Zhi.

"I know." No one knows better than Yazhi what a coup is. From Abaoji's execution of his younger brothers, to Shuluping's massacre of officials, to Yeluruan and his grandmother's confrontation with the army, every incident of the Yelu family Political change requires the death of a large number of people, and he is the one who cleans up afterward.

"Even if King Shou'an intervenes, so what?" Wu Zhi said coldly, "This is a civil strife in the royal tent. Now that the overall situation is settled, no matter whether it is your descendants or our royal family, we can only Choose another talented person in the horizontal tent. The lord is dead, the first prince was killed, and the second prince is missing. Now the bloodline closest to the throne is King Shouan. He has every chance of winning. Only by supporting him can the rebellion be put down as soon as possible influence the political situation."

The so-called horizontal tent refers to the tent of the royal family, and the three houses of the horizontal tent are the three sons of Yelu Abaoji, King Yelubei of Dongdan, Emperor Taizong Yelu Deguang, and the youngest son Yelu Lihu.According to the old customs of Khitan, the position of khan was originally held by brothers in turn. Therefore, in the hands of Yelu Abaoji, there were several "rebellions among brothers" in which the younger brothers refused to accept him as the Khan who had been sitting for a long time and competed with him.After A Baoji's death, and because of the intervention of the Empress Dowager Shulu, all three sons had the right to inherit the throne.

For decades, the Hengzhang Sanfang has been fighting endlessly for the throne, which has also caused the upper class of the Liao Kingdom to be in a tense political situation.Whoever is the emperor, who conspires to seize the throne, the quality of the house cannot be controlled.He can only control the loss of the tribe to a minimum after the incident.

Why did Yelvjing write this letter? Because he was ambitious.Through the rebellion of censorship, all the neutral factions were pulled out, and this group of people had to advance and retreat with him.At this time, Yelvjing had all the chances to win, so why did he have to deal with the rebellious Chagao who was supposed to kill the king in name, so he sold Chagao backhandedly to show good property.

Wu Zhi and Xiao Siwen knew his plot, but they had no choice but to swallow the bait he offered.In order to stabilize the overall situation as soon as possible, Wu Zhi even used his own affection to help Yelujing: "I'll go to Lou Guo." Yelu Louguo, Sejong's younger brother, is also the person closest to the throne, but unfortunately, the general situation will not allow it.

Xiao Siwen let out a long sigh: "It's just that it's a pity for the Lord, and it's a pity for the Eastern Alchemy King."

Wu Zhi said indifferently: "After all, it is a matter of the third house under the horizontal tent..." He paused for a moment, and also sighed, "There is a saying in the Han people that 'a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall'. Be careful."

Xiao Siwen only felt that his heart was very blocked: "My lord is also doing it for the sake of Daliao... Sigh!"

Wu Zhi glanced at Xiao Siwen: "I know that besides you, there are many people who feel dissatisfied, but for the sake of the overall situation, and for the stability and unity of Daliao, this is the only way to go."

Xiao Siwen was in a mess in his heart: "It's a pity, it's a pity...the master's new deal and the opportunity to march south, they were all interrupted."

Wu Zhi sighed: "I'm afraid this time, there will never be such an opportunity again." He walked out.

Xiao Siwen looked at his back and thought of Sejong, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "Death before leaving the teacher will make the hero burst into tears."

He turned his head, wiping the tears from his cheeks.

When Wu Zhi went to find Lou Guo, Lou Guo was not convinced. Sejong died, and the life and death of the little prince were unknown, so he should be the one closest to the throne.But the quality of the house convinced him.

Lou Guo is fighting for the throne at this time, and there is no chance of winning.The most powerful group at present is actually the wait-and-see and neutral group.The courtiers who are willing to support Shizong's line are now held hostage by Chagao.Even in the Pishi Army he now controls, some of the family members of the generals have become hostages.

If Lou State becomes the emperor, Chaga will definitely refuse to accept it. At that time, he will hold hostages, and success or failure is still in doubt. After all, the loyalty of these generals to Lou State is far lower than that of Sejong.

Although this group of people on the sidelines did not participate in the conspiracy, they sat back and watched Sejong be killed, so they would not want Sejong's younger brother to sit on the throne. Who knows if Lou Guo will pursue today's matter after he is firmly seated on the throne?This group of people will easily invest in Chage, or bet on others in the battle between Chage and Lou State, all of which cannot be controlled by Lou State's ability.The result of having to fight a battle and kill a group of people is exactly what Yu Zhi wants to see the last time.

Lou Guo was helpless, he had experienced Sejong's seizure of the throne, and knew that without the support of the house, it was impossible for him to become emperor.So he made a request: "The head of the person I want to cut off will not die, and I will never bow my head."

Yelvjing couldn't help hesitating after receiving replies from both Wuzhi and Lou Guo.Wu Zhi's reply surprised him.In fact, before that, what he hesitated the most was how to choose the quality of the house.If the property refuses to support him, then he will be the most hopeless when the two sides fight.These neutral tribes are actually the most difficult to control.They seemed to be standing behind him, but they just chose to wait and see because they didn't want to bear the consequences.Once he has no way to control the situation on both sides, this force will collapse at any time.

He has planned for this day for many years, although the development of things is somewhat out of his plan.If Lou Guo hadn't run away, and the property had run away, then Chagao would be a dead person now.

He didn't care about Lou Guo's life in Chagao, Chagao was a person who was going to die.But now he can't agree to Lou Guo.If Chage knows that he must die, then he will go crazy and out of control, and he controls so many civil and military ministers, tribal leaders and their families.Once these people die, the people who are in control of the house quality will also lose control.At that time, he seems to have a chance of winning, but these neutral wait-and-see people may not completely listen to him.

When Shizong won the throne, he was envious, jealous and regretful. If he hadn't backed down that day, then maybe he was the one who ascended the throne.But at this moment, the throne is only a few feet away from him, so he knows what kind of pressure, what kind of fear, what kind of difficulty, and what kind of division it is.

The best consequences and the worst consequences were intertwined in Yelvjing's mind.The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to escape, and even began to regret the step I had taken.

"How can I make Chagua work for me and meet Lou's requirements?" Yelvjing asked Yelufeng Sage.Fu Sage is his same mother and brother, and the two have had a very good relationship since they were young. The whole plan this time was planned and implemented by the two together.

Fu Sage hesitated for a moment: "How about I go and persuade Lou Guo to make a concession?"

Yelujing shook his head: "It's difficult, it's difficult for Lou Guo to let go, and Wu Yu's loyalists will not let go of Chagao, Chagao will die sooner or later." But the trouble now is that if he doesn't keep Chagao, then Chagao will die. The power in the hands will be out of control.

At this time, a report came from outside the account: "Your Majesty, the Lord Enemy Lie is here."

Yelvjing frowned: "Let him in."

Yelv Dilie hurried in. This young man who looked too clever was Yelujing's younger brother.Although Yelvjing left the camp, he left Di Lie behind just to let him play the role of threading the needle in the Chaga camp.

"Brother, don't worry, I've persuaded Chacut to serve you."

Yelvjing stood up and said happily, "Really?"

When Di Lie was in the Chagao camp, Chagao was on the verge of going mad.

Shizong favored Han women, appointed Han ministers, suppressed tribes, and provoked public anger.Chagua thought he was standing out for everyone, and was the first to reach out.However, all the people immediately walked away as if they didn't know him, pulling their horses and watching him from a distance like a clown, with bloody hands and desperate.And Yamashita, Yazhi and Lou Guo are already discussing the date of his death.

"Since I'm going to die..." Chage sneered and looked at the ministers, nobles and family members who were escorted up, "Then you all die with me."

Yelu Dilie was shocked.He was left behind by Yelujing to observe the changes in the situation, so naturally he couldn't make Cha Ge really go crazy, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Cha Ge: "Uncle Taining, the matter has not reached this point, you have forgotten that there is also my elder brother, He will keep you."

Chaga hesitated.Yelujing conspired with him, but when he made a move, Yelvjing left the camp, which made him in a dilemma.Can this former ally still be trusted?
He glanced at Di Lie, and said with a sneer: "He took Fu Sage away, but left you behind. He is not afraid of losing your life in the chaos? It can be seen that he still trusts Fu Sage. You say this now If so, what's the use?"

One word hit Di Lie's heart, and he secretly hated him.However, no matter how Yelujing treats him, he can only be honored and humiliated with Yelujing, so he can only smile and say: "Brother kept me to help Uncle Wang. Even if Uncle Wang doesn't believe me, he should trust my elder brother. "

"Now he is colluding with Wu Zhi and Lou Guo, and he is going to be the emperor. How can I trust him?"

Di Lie pulled him aside and said with a low laugh: "Whose credit is it for him to become emperor? Could it be that you helped Uncle Wang? Uncle Wang, think about it for yourself. If you think you can be emperor, you should be I didn't say anything. If you don't have the confidence to be the emperor, who do you think will be the best for you? The soldiers and hostages in your hands, no matter who you vote for, will be a big help. Who will not give you Face, don't you benefit?"

Chagao was immediately moved. He did have the intention of becoming emperor after killing Shizong.But if the situation is unfavorable, he is naturally willing to surrender.

"It's just..." Cha Ge hesitated after all.

Di Lie saw his hesitation and persuaded: "Wu Zhi has agreed to appoint my elder brother. Uncle Wang, think about it, how many troops Lou Guo can have on hand, and how many troops do you have on hand? No matter who it is, weigh the situation, I have to choose you instead of Lou Guo."

Chagao finally made up his mind: "Okay, go and tell your elder brother, if he can swear not to kill me, I will surrender him."

Di Lie was overjoyed, and was about to leave, when Cha Ge said again: "Sage only lied to me, and I have already killed her. But her youngest son is gone, and I have never found it. Tell your elder brother, if this child In the hands of the house, be careful that the house will make a fuss about this child after it gets through this crisis."

Di Lie was startled, knowing that Cha Ge's remark had no good intentions, but he could only respond quickly, and rode a fast horse to deliver a message to Yelujing.He negotiated with Chagao, one is for the throne of his branch, if Yelvjing can become emperor, he will get more benefits than others being emperor; secondly, he also wants to escape from Chagao.After seeing Yelvjing, he made his request and added Chagao's last words.

After hearing this, Yelujing hesitated.

Di Lie was in a hurry: "Brother, you should make a decision earlier. Chagao is timid and unstable. If he doesn't reply in time, he will easily go crazy and kill people when he gets scared. Wouldn't it teach others to hate you? "

"He wants me to swear not to kill him, but Lou Guo wants his head. How should I deal with both sides?"

"What's so difficult about this? Why does elder brother kill him with his own hands, leave him to Lou Guo, and let Lou Guo kill him himself. In this way, it's not considered that elder brother broke his oath, and Lou Guo can take revenge with his own hands, wouldn't it be better?"

Yelujing's heart shuddered, and he glanced at Di Lie.The Khitan people still value the oath very much, he hesitated for a long time with Feng Sage, because of this dilemma.Unable to imagine that Di Lie could handle the breach of oath so lightly and without any obstacles, he immediately felt vigilant and distant.But at this moment he still needs Di Lie, pretending to ponder: "Is Lou Guo willing?"

After all, Di Lie was young, so he didn't know that a frivolous sentence at this moment would affect his future.Seeing Yelvjing and Fu Sage, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded after a while, only to feel that these two people were not as smart and decisive as himself, and he was even more proud: "I will go to persuade Lou Guo, and he will definitely agree."

"Then, Lou Guo will be handed over to you."

Di Lie smiled and bowed to Yelujing: "So, the throne is already in the bag. My younger brother congratulates the Lord first."

Yelvjing laughed, and patted him on the shoulder: "You and I, brothers, share the world."

After the inspection was rewarded, he settled down and led his troops to surrender.

In front of Yelujing's camp, Cha Ge handed over all the hostages to Yelvjing's subordinates, walked up to Yelvjing and knelt down: "I am willing to surrender to the Lord."

Yelvjing looked at the person kneeling in front of her, feeling excited.This was the first person who surrendered to him besides his own brother.Then, the entire kingdom, like the person in front of him, will surrender under his feet.

Xiao Siwen led his group of officials to follow behind, saluting Yelujing.At this time, his state of mind is also like the quality of the house.Now that Sejong is dead and the general situation is over, they, as courtiers, can only try their best to calm things down in order to minimize losses.But saw the light of the knife flash, and Chagua's head rolled to the ground.The ministers didn't want things to change so suddenly, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, Yelvjing was the one who was the most frightened. He thought everything was under control, but he didn't know that things changed suddenly. He only felt his heart constrict, and he took a step back, thinking that the next knife was coming at him.At that moment, I was so overjoyed and scared that I almost turned around and ran away.

The man who killed the police stabbed his knife, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Brother Emperor, I have avenged you." After saying that, he burst into tears.Yelujing fixed his eyes on Yelu Louguo, and then looked at the direction in which he jumped out, it was right behind Yelu Dilie.Yelu Dilie was grinning, obviously the two had conspired long ago.For a split second, fear and anger intertwined in his mind, he just wanted to kick Lou Guo and Di Lie to the ground, and cut them as well.

Yelupen, the clan clan, were all conspiring against Chagao. Seeing that the situation was not good, they shouted: "King Shou'an, you promised not to kill us. Are you going to break your oath?"

Yelvjing sneered, and only glanced at Yelu Louguo, Louguo jumped up and shouted: "King Shouan promised you, but I never promised. You killed my king and brother, how can I not?" Take this revenge. This is my own revenge, and it has nothing to do with King Shouan."

Pendu looked left and right, saw that the general situation was over, abandoned the sword and sighed: "I have advised Chacut a long time ago, either not to do it, or to do it absolutely. It was his luck, and he refused to listen to me. Now that the winner is the king and the loser, I still do it." What is there to say!"

Lou Guo saw that the throne was hopeless, so he simply took this opportunity to kill and take revenge.The pots were also arrested, and a large number of people who worked with Chagou were arrested, and they were all taken to death. Chagou was chopped into meat paste to vent his anger, and he personally led his subordinates to kill Chagou's sons.

During this process, Yelujing only glanced at Di Lie, without saying a word.

Di Lie stood aside and watched with a smile. He and Lou Guo conspired in this matter, but he thought to himself that it was all for Yelvjing.If Yelvjing wanted to be emperor, he had to make Lou Kingdom surrender, and the condition for Lou Kingdom's surrender was to kill Chaga.He let Lou Guo into the tent privately, just to help Yelujing solve the problem.Let Lou Guo kill Chagao, Pendu, and all the murderers, so that Shizong's family can vent their anger, and Yelvjing doesn't have to do it himself, which will arouse the resentment of Chagao's family.Wouldn't it be good for bad people to let others do it, let others get blood on it, and clean their hands to achieve their goals?

He didn't discuss with Yelvjing in advance, not because he didn't expect it, but because he felt that Yelvjing seemed hesitant in this matter.And this killing time is the best.Once Yelujing really accepted the surrender, then Lou Guo would have to get Yelvjing's consent first, but Lou Guo didn't intend to do this at all.

After all, he is too young, high-spirited, takes on the most difficult things without realizing it, and is also proud, only that everyone is not as smart and decisive as him.But he didn't know that those who hesitated just thought more far-reaching than him, and were more concerned about the balance of interests behind the matter.

After being cut and punished, Lou Guo surrendered, and Yelujing became the candidate for the new emperor.He then ordered to collect the corpses of Sejong's family and lead all the officials to offer sacrifices, and immediately stop the spirits in the sacrifice hall.Everyone has gathered and asked each other, but the strange thing is that no one knows the whereabouts of the second prince Ming.

Xiao Siwen was suspicious, so he immediately asked: "The whereabouts of the second prince Ming is unknown now, what should King Shou'an do?"

Yelujing asked himself that he didn't do anything wrong with this matter, but Sejong's faction is still there. In order to appease this faction and eliminate the influence of Lou Guo, he said generously: "I know your intentions, Ming is a great line. The emperor's son, now that his whereabouts are unknown, I must find him and regard him as my son."

Lou Guo sneered: "How dare you swear?"

Yelujing heard the word "swear", and thought of the severed head rolling down at his feet just now, he just felt stabbed in the heart, saw the faces of the people, and immediately knelt down: "I tell the law, I am the grandson of Taizu Abaoji, Taizong De Son of Light, I swear in front of the spirit of my ancestors that I will find the prince in the end of my life, treat him as my own son, protect his life, bring him up, if he violates the oath..."

He was only halfway through when there was a sudden commotion outside the tent: "The second prince has found—"

Yelvjing stood up in shock, and turned her head to look, only to see Han Kuangsi, General of the Right Guard of Changning Palace, holding a young child, barging in, shouting: "The second prince has been found."

In an overnight incident, Han Kuangsi and his ministers were taken hostage by the police, and they did not perform their duties until they were released.He went to command the sergeant, cleaned up the corpse, and resumed his daily life.

The imperial chefs who were released rushed to start the fire to cook, but saw the chef Liu Jieli died in the kitchen, and rushed to report to the sergeant.Unexpectedly, when the sergeant pulled the corpse, the firewood pile outside collapsed, and he exclaimed, "There is someone in the firewood pile!"

This group is exactly in charge of Han Kuangsi.Hearing the sound, he rushed over, and saw the sergeants pulling out a child wrapped in a blanket from the woodpile. A small head was exposed from one end of the blanket, shaved clean with only a few braids.Han Kuangsi took the child and found that the child was wrapped tightly in a blanket, motionless and unable to make a sound.Looking carefully, he saw a smear of congealed blood hanging on the small face, and his eyes were dull, as if he was frightened.Han Kuangsi also knew that the search for the second prince had already been turned upside down, so he picked up the second prince and rushed to the sacrificial hall before he could think about it.But when Yelvjing knelt down and swore to save the second prince, he hurriedly sent him in.

Yelujing's expression changed, and he was pushed by Feng Sage behind him, and was about to pick him up, but Xiao Siwen stepped forward and hugged him to the house.

Wu Zhi took over the second prince, but found that the child looked dull, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with him?"

"Maybe I was frightened." Han Kuangsi patted the second prince gently and called out. "Ming, Ming, wake up..."

That night, Mingyu was frightened and cold, and his whole body froze. He was hugged by Han Kuangsi all the way back, and he kept comforting him. His body temperature recovered a little, and he gradually came back to his senses.At this moment, being carried back to the Wang Tent, seeing a few familiar people, he finally opened his mouth and burst into tears: "There are bad people, there are bad people, it's all blood, it's all blood..."

The quality of the house does not know how to coax the child, seeing that Han Kuangsi was a little coaxed, he handed the child to him: "Little prince, don't be afraid, there are ministers here."

Han Kuangsi also coaxed: "Don't be afraid, Mingji, the bad guy is dead, you are safe now, safe!" But Mingji was only a four-year-old child after all, after being frightened, he kept crying, calling for his mother , To ask the father, the legs kicked so hard that even Han Kuangsi couldn't hug him.

Yelujing was about to finish his sentence before accepting the courtiers as emperor. Han Kuangsi found the little prince at this time, and it was just when his merits and deeds were consummated. Who would have thought that this little boy would cry endlessly, causing many important officials to coax him together advise him.

Suddenly, his heart became angry, he clenched his fists, trying to restrain his temper, but he couldn't suppress the violence, Yelvjing strode forward, snatched the little prince from Han Kuangsi's hand, and shouted: "I am a Khitan man!" , how can you be so cowardly!"

Before Han Kuangsi could react, Yelujing had already strode to the God's table with the little prince Mingzhang in his arms, and lifted Mingzhang's small body up high, where the Empress Dowager, Sejong, Empress Zhen, Sagezhi and Hou'a were standing there. No corpse.

"Ming Yan, look, your father, queen mother, and your older brother are all dead, and now you are the only one left in the lineage of the emperor of the kingdom. You are a good boy of Khitan, how can you cry like this endlessly!"

Poor Xiao Ming is only four years old, he was already frightened all night, but he calmed down a bit, the nature of a child is eager to find comfort in the arms of his parents.All the officials dared not say anything, they just coaxed him, but how could he calm down when he didn't see his parents.What he experienced this night, let alone a child, even an adult couldn't bear it. Bai Mo passed out.

Han Kuangsi rushed forward anxiously, snatched the little prince away, and shouted angrily: "King Shou'an, he is just a child!"

But Yelvjing felt that the roots of her ears were finally cleansed.He was also impatient just now, but now he saw that Wu Zhi and several other important ministers were showing reproaches, his thoughts turned, and he touched his chest pretending to be sad and said: "Ming Yi, you are my Khitan boy, even if you are young , you shouldn’t just cry, you should take responsibility!” Saying that, she was going to hug the little prince.

Han Kuangsi dared to hand over the little prince to him again. When he saw him come to pick him up, he knelt down in a hurry, and cried to Sejong's body, "Emperor Daxing!"

Yelujing took it empty, feeling displeased.

Gu Sage was clever, and when he saw this, he hurriedly pulled Di Lie and others, and knelt down together: "Emperor Daxing Bintian, the country cannot be without a master for a day, please King Shou'an take the throne, my emperor, long live, long live, long live age!"

As soon as he took the lead, several courtiers immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live" sparsely.Wu Zhi let out a long sigh, knelt down first and said: "This is the end of the matter, I ask King Shou'an to take the throne, long live my emperor!" Seeing Wu Zhi kneel down, everyone also knelt down, shouting long live.

Standing in the hall, Yelvjing saw that everyone was already kneeling in front of him, surrendering to him, for a moment he didn't know if it was an illusion or real.He wanted to speak, but found that he could barely speak, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.He clenched his fists hard, gasped for breath two or three times, and then said loudly: "Everyone is flat."

Fu Sage wanted to open his mouth to thank him, his heart trembled, he first squinted at the house, saw that the house was not moving, then looked at the little prince in Han Kuangsi's arms, suddenly realized, coughed lightly, and signaled Yelvjing to look at the house. child.Yelujing suddenly understood, thinking that he was really impulsive just now, which made people suspicious, and immediately knelt down towards Abaoji's portrait: "I, Shulu, swear before my ancestors, that I will treat my nephew as a son for the rest of my life. Keep him safe all his life, raise him to grow up, if he breaks his oath, he will be destroyed in the sky..."

Fu Sage immediately shouted: "My lord is kind! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Wu Zhi sighed softly: "The Lord is kind."

This is the end of the ceremony.Yelvjing helped up the house himself, and then Han Kuangsi: "Kuangsi, Mingyu was frightened, and you have excellent medical skills, so I will hand over Mingyu to you."

Han Kuangsi had no choice but to respond: "I obey the order."

Yeluruan, the third emperor of the Liao Kingdom, reigned for five years, and was assassinated and killed in Yuxianggushan. The temple name was Sejong.Empress Dowager Xiao, who was assassinated on the same day, was posthumously named "Queen Rouzhen"; Empress Xiao Sage was only named "Queen Xiaolie" and later changed to "Queen Huaijie"; The only female empress of the Han Dynasty in the history of the Liao Kingdom was never mentioned by the public, nor was she given a posthumous title.

Yelujing, the eldest son of Liao Taizong, succeeded to the throne as emperor, that is, Liao Muzong, and changed Yuan Yingli.

After Mu Zong succeeded to the throne, the first order was that Sejong's accidental assassination was all caused by the Southern Expedition, and the Southern Expedition should be stopped immediately, and the camp should be returned to Beijing.The group of onlookers didn't want to go south at first, but when they saw Yelvjing's actions, they immediately felt relieved and shouted long live.

Xiao Siwen, Hanchen Shifang and others all lamented the death of Sejong. Seeing Han Kuangsi hugging the little prince, he stepped forward to look at the child and patted Han Kuangsi on the shoulder. At this moment, he could only say: "Kuangsi, Please, little prince."

Han Kuangsi carried the little prince around twice, not knowing what to do for a moment.Yelvjing just threw the child to him, but he had to take good care of it.Seeing that the child was still unconscious, he had no choice but to carry him back to his tent.

Seeing him coming in, a ten-year-old boy hurried up to greet him: "Father, you are back." Seeing Han Kuangsi hugging an unconscious child, he asked in surprise, "Who is this child?"

This boy is Han Derang, the second son of Han Kuangsi.He wanted to bring his second son to practice with the army this time, but at this moment the little prince was frightened and couldn't be comforted, so he immediately thought of his son.He handed the mask to his son: "Put him on the bed quickly."

Han Derang took it, and seeing the child's eyes stared blankly, terrified and dull, as if he had no response to external things, he touched his forehead and exclaimed: "What's wrong with him? His whole body is cold, is he frozen? ?”

Han Kuangsi wiped the blood from his face and sighed, "It would be better if it was just freezing."

Han Derang hugged Ming Yan to the bed, but unexpectedly put him down, Ming Yan closed his eyes and screamed.He was at a loss as to what to do, Han Kuangsi had already opened the medicine box and came over with a silver needle, and hurriedly ordered: "Hold him down!"

Han Derang hurriedly picked up Mingjian, but seeing Mingjian's small body twitching continuously, his face pale, screaming again and again, he couldn't help but appease and pat him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, don't be afraid."

His small body was trembling, Han Kuangsi gave several injections, Ming Jian closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep after a while.

Han Derang only had time to ask: "Father, who is he? What's wrong with him?"

Han Kuangsi looked sad: "He is the second prince of Emperor Daxing." This sentence answered everything.

Han Derang shivered. He was escorted back and forth during the chaos last night, and he immediately understood: "So, is it really treason? The Lord is already dead?"

Han Kuangsi sullenly sighed, "Not only the Lord, but also the Empress Dowager, Empress Xiao, Empress Zhen, and the prince are all dead."

"All dead?"

Han Kuangsi nodded with a heavy heart.

The boy's face turned pale, and he looked at the child in his hand: "Then he..."

"You hug him first, he was very frightened, and now he can't do without people."

Looking at his son's childish face, Han Kuangsi sighed in his heart.Han Derang felt that his father was looking at him more and more seriously, and moved his body uneasily. He only felt that the child in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, but he dared not let it go.

Han Kuangsi let out a long sigh, and suddenly thought of his own childhood, as well as his father's childhood... the hand of fate stretched out an opportunity again.At this moment, he can only bet on his son.

In the face of national calamity and family calamity, the children of the Han family are doomed to have no way to have a childhood.The fate of generations can only be struggled hard, working hard in the predicament, fighting for a chance of life, and fighting for a chance of life.

Han Kuangsi suddenly sighed, "Derang, you are ten years old, right?"

Han Derang nodded in bewilderment.

Han Kuangsi gritted his teeth: "Ten years old, not too young, I should also treat you as an adult."

Han Derang was puzzled and looked at Han Kuangsi.

"When your grandfather was six years old, he witnessed the murder of his father and brother, and he was taken into slavery; when I was eight years old, I entered the tent of the Empress Dowager Shulu as a servant boy; now, you are ten years old... Every generation of the Han family must have someone Come out and take on the opportunity of the whole family. Derang, from today onwards, I will hand over the second prince to you."

Han Derang didn't understand why, so he just said in a daze: "Okay."

Han Kuangsi said solemnly: "You have to treat him as your younger brother!" Seeing Han Derang nodding, his expression became more severe, and his words were like nails, hitting his son's heart: "I want you even more, to treat him as my loyal lord forever! "

Han Derang hugged the little prince and was stunned on the spot.He did not expect that at the age of ten, after taking over the little prince, he would be unable to break free for the rest of his life.
