Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Xiazhou, called "Tongwan City" in ancient times, is a very old city. The palace where Xiping King Li Yiyin lived was called the Dingnan Army Military Mansion, but it was almost the same as Miyagi.

At this time, the place where Li Yiyin lived was heard the sound of wooden fish "boom". A young woman wearing a colorful round hat took three incense sticks and lit them on a candle, and then handed them to Li Yiyin's hands.

Li Yiyin took the incense, closed his eyes piously at a mud bodhisattva, and whispered the scriptures in his mouth.

The few people standing around were very quiet, only the monotonous percussion of wooden fish in the hall.

Li Yiyin's temples have turned pale, and his face is not very different from that of the Central Plains. Their family was successful in rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tuoba clan changed the surname to Li. It is said that the father's father was originally named Li.

He was reciting the scriptures intently, as if praying.

At this moment, a man with a cone-shaped top hat hurriedly walked to the door. The woman next to her looked back, placed her index finger on her lips and let out a soft "hush", then looked at her father who was facing away from the door.

The woman's eyes are very bright and flexible, as if she could speak. The visitor understood immediately, bent down quickly, walked in carefully and stood by.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Yiyin suddenly said: "What's the matter?"

The visitor hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Li Yiyin's ear: "The Zhou Dynasty officials have arrived in Xiazhou, and they are asking the king to meet him."

Li Yiyin was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "The Zhou Emperor will visit the west, he will naturally send someone." After saying that, he opened his eyes and worshiped the Bodhisattva three times, and then put the incense in the incense burner, beside the futon. Sit down cross-legged.

The nobleman who just came in said: "We haven't responded to the Khitan people, do you want to see the envoy of Zhou?"

"I want to see you." Li Yiyin said without hesitation, "You ask someone to arrange it and report it to me."

After hearing this, the nobleman said solemnly: "The king is wise. The Khitan envoy was sent by Xiao Simwen, deputy envoy of the Northern Court of the Liao Dynasty. I heard that Xiao Simwen was the defeated general of the current Emperor Zhou..."

Li Yiyin made a voice, noncommittal.

Upon seeing this, the noble bowed and retreated. At this time, the woman next to him said: "I will give you a gift to uncle."

After the two left the palace one after another, their expressions were relaxed.

He didn't hide a smile: "Before I entered the palace, Brother Xi asked about Princess Yueji."

The little girl named Li Yueji was white, with a hint of red glow on her face. She was very conspicuous. Her eyes flickered, and she looked at it from the left: "The Khitan people and Han'er both want to form an alliance with their father. I don’t know which side my uncle likes better. people?"

He didn't hide his words: "I don't like both sides if I want to talk about my preferences. Han'er has a loyal face, but in fact he is very cunning; the Khitan people are barbarous and brutal, and they are unreliable. It is better for us."

Li Yueji nodded and said yes.

He did not hide the saying: "But the tribal exchanges are not based on preferences; I prefer the Zhou people to come and go. Xiao Siwen means that the emperor of the Zhou state will visit the west, and he is staring at the army, distrusting us; asking us to rebel Zhou, Liao is willing to borrow troops to help..."

Li Yueji said, "Father believed in Buddhism and was unwilling to use military force."

He didn't say anything about it, and said: "The people of Liao were too busy to take care of themselves. Xiao Siwen was originally the Great King of the Southern Court. He repelled the Northern Expedition of the Zhou Army in Youzhou and was transferred back to Beijing. Instead, he became a clerk's deputy. Since Guo Rong, the country’s armed forces have been prospering. Now the opportunity is not right."

...

At this time in Beijing, Xiao Siwen saw the messenger sent back from Xiazhou. The messenger brought back news, and the negotiation was not going well.

The party members first questioned whether the Liao State could really send troops and horses to help them, and then believed that the Liao State's statement that the Zhou State forbidden army would attack Xiazhou was false.

Fan Zhongyi, a Han official, said straightforwardly: "Dangxiang people's reasons are just excuses. In fact, they are the people who see the wind and make the rudder. When they see the state of Zhou _ strong, they will become ministers to the state of Zhou."

Xiao Siwen agreed, and sighed: "After all, Daliao is still weak and its prestige has declined."

Fan Zhongyi said in advance: "At this time, Zhou's military force is becoming stronger and stronger, and the goal is our Daliao, not to persecute the party too much. At this time, it may not be easy to persuade the party to revolt. It is better to change the strategy and ask them to have no time in the Zhou army. Whenever it expands its territory, the Liao State is willing to help with all its strength... As long as there is movement there, it can at least contain the Zhou army, which is beneficial and harmless."

Xiao Siwen said: "This plan is very clever, I immediately called people to rush to Xiazhou as soon as possible. I also urge the envoys to remind the Xiazhou Li family to understand that once the Lord Zhou vacates his hand, he will not trust the party members and let him look at it. Farther!"

Fan Zhongyi stopped talking, and finally couldn't help saying: "Dong Khan treats Xiao Gong in this way, Xiao Gong is still loyal and laborious to Daliao, and his heart is really admirable."

Xiao Siwen said calmly: "We still focus on the overall situation."

Fan Zhongyi bowed his head and said nothing. As a Han official, Xiao Siwen also knew he was inconvenient to say more.

Many people really feel that this transfer is unfair! Isn't Xiao Siwen angry in his heart? At the beginning of the year, he stayed firmly in Youzhou. Although he could not defeat Zhou Jun, if he hadn't defended Youzhou, would Yeluxiu's men have a chance to defeat Zhou Jun? Later, the merits were better, and all the credits belonged to the North Road Army, and even the North Road Reinforcement Vice-General Yang Dagon was more credited than Xiao Siwen.

Xiao Siwen was transferred to the North Court as deputy envoy to the Privy Council, and he didn't even have the power to make decisions... Compared to being the king of the South Court, his power is now greatly weakened, and he is in a situation of being demoted after he has done meritorious service!

Xiao Siwen took a sigh of relief and said, "You can rest assured, I have never done anything wrong, what will my sweat do to me?"

... After a few days, the general of the Liao State Yelu Xianzhen led his troops to tour Beijing, and Xiao Simwen picked up the dust for him.

After drinking in the evening, when Yelu Xiezhen and Xiao Siwen were alone together, Xiao Siwen said: "When I stepped down as the king of the South Campus, I wanted to recommend the general to preside over the South Campus. After thinking about it, I didn’t want to play. If I recommend it, I’m afraid it would be right instead The general is unfavorable."

Yelu Xianzhen suddenly looked angry. He was the son of Taizu Abaoji’s confidant Yelucholu. He was born in a high position, and was much more courageous. He immediately said: "When Duke Xiao was still in Youzhou, I sent my confidant to ask you. Promise, how is it now?"

Xiao Siwen said: "If I promised the general, it would be difficult to say whether Youzhou is still the land of the Liao Dynasty."

Yelu Xianzhen frowned and said nothing.

Xiao Siwen said: "If Youzhou is lost, the fortune of the Liao country will be worrisome. Such a situation is not only harmful to the overall situation of the Liao Dynasty, but how can we live well as the Daliao nobles?"

Yelu Xiezhen listened and worshipped, and then said anxiously: "I was afraid that the profligacy would be disadvantageous to Xiao Gong, it's too late to regret!"

"If the fate should be like this, I have to admit it." Xiao Siwen sighed, "but I was thinking about the Daliao, and it did not harm the tribe. The tribes will comment and give me justice!"

Xiao Siwen leaned under the light, and then said solemnly: "I expect that the master of Zhou Guo Tiejiang will not give up to Youzhou! His west tour is probably to stabilize the rear. If Daliao did not prepare early at this time, then It's too late to regret!"

Yelu Xiezhen boldly whispered: "The emperor of the Liao Dynasty is not like a human leader. To regain the prestige of the country, he must first change himself..."

Xiao Siwen shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

He said in his heart: The chaos in Daliao at this time is not the responsibility of Yelujing alone. It is indeed the root of many disputes between the royal family. If only to drive Yelujing down, the newly appointed emperor can control the situation?

According to Xiao Siwen's consideration, it is necessary to fundamentally solve the grievances that have been for many years. There is only one way...

Let Yelujing take all the mistakes!

When Yelujing did a lot of wrong things, and many disasters broke out during his administration, the grievances of various races accumulated to a certain degree... Then Yelujing was the real "tyrant".

The so-called "No Ji Tai Lai", only the person who replaces the "tyrant" is the virtuous monarch who can correct the chaos. At that time, the new monarch will be supported by all parties, the general trend will truly reorganize the situation!

Before that, instead of continuing the civil strife to seize power, it is better to support Yelujing and reduce turbulence.

After thinking about it, Xiao Siwen hurriedly said: "You must not act rashly. At this time, you must not trigger a rebellion and civil war. Beware of the Zhou people from taking advantage of the situation.

We must do our best to resolve internal grievances and support the profuse sweat before we can compete with Zhou Guoren! "

Yelu Xianzhen frowned and said, "Why is Xiao Gong so afraid of Han'er?"

Xiao Siwen said: "Because Tiesmith Guo is in power. I think this person must be an ambitious person!"

Yelu Xianzhen nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Simwen said: "These years, the Liao Dynasty has been difficult. As long as you get through it and wait for the situation in Zhou to change, then we will be the world of the Liao Dynasty again."

Yelu Xiezhen was persuaded by Xiao Siwen and agreed with him.

Early the next morning, the Liao Emperor Yelujing couldn't wait to meet Yelu Xiezhen who had just returned to Beijing in the hall on the hill.

Humanity is Yelujing's alcohol addiction and sleepiness, but this time he is very active.

Above the hall, the atmosphere was very dull, and the nobles were frightened. At this moment, Yelv Xiezhen made a statement about the tour~www.readwn.com~ with a respectful attitude and sang praises to Yelvjing many times, and everyone was relieved.

Later, Xiao Siwen also stood up and told about Xiazhou, and he had no complaints about his transfer. The people in the hall gradually started talking about the matter, and they all expressed their opinions and cursed Han'er and the party members together.

The high-ranking Yelujing was reticent, looking from the faces of the nobles, and gradually his expression relaxed slightly.

At this time, Xiao Siwen put his hand on his chest and bowed: "Daliao is blessed by the gods, and the Khitan warriors are fierce and fierce. As long as all people are united, they will be able to defeat the people of Zhou."

Brother Yeluxiu said in a big manner: "The Khan only hopes that the previous betrayal will not happen again."

Xiao Siwen said: "Whoever has a double heart, do things that make the loved ones hurt and the enemies happy, the ministers cannot let him go!"

The situation seems to have changed for a while. Southern Zhou Kingdom had two consecutive northern expeditions in recent years, and he has never forgotten Youzhou. External pressure has promoted the interior of Liao. Since this year, there has been no rebellion in Beijing.
