Chapter 149 Bet to Lose the Country

Seeing Yue Li's anxious look, Wang Zhou immediately understood: Yue Li once cooperated with him to catch Nan Jifeng in Chenzhou; Yue Li and He Libo also knew each other. Thinking of this, Wang raised his eyebrows and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, letter reminder."

Yue Li waved his hand in a hurry. He had a very good impression of Wang. He had been supported by Prime Minister Bao since his career. Wang Bian, the adopted son of the Prime Minister, also had a lot of friends with him, and he also wanted to help him: "It's hard to raise your hand."

Wang was even more sure that the letter sent to He Liba was from Yue Li. Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "I want to ask my brother-in-law how he knew about this."

Yue Li, how did the worried king offend the prince? The king was not slow. Yue Li sighed and said, "A while ago, one of my classmates passed by here. The two of us were happy and drank a few more cups. He told me one thing and said that he intercepted several correspondences between the State of Liao and the State of Song. He showed me one of them. Yes It was sent to He Liba. It said that there was something wrong at home. Return as soon as possible.

Yue Li took a sip of water and then said, "At that time, I was just surprised by this ordinary letter. Who knew that my classmate said that it was not ordinary. The person who sent the letter was called Wanyan impeacher. This person was a real woman, a general under Yelu Zongyuan. Then he asked me if you know who this letter was for."

The king must have thought of this question. At the beginning, He Liju told himself that he heard Yue Li continue to say, "Of course, I don't know who this letter was sent to. I asked him. He said that it was a right-hand man beside Wang Shilang, named He Liba. I thought of you at that time, so I asked him. The Wang Shilang he said, but Wang Wang Ruowu, the adopted son of Prime Minister Bao.

Yue Li said and looked at Wang's side. Wang's side smiled as if it had nothing to do with him. This Wang's side was really calm. Yue Li couldn't help admiration in his heart.

"He said: It's next to the king. If this news tells the prince that it must be a great achievement, I wonder what a family letter can be great. Besides, Song Liao has no war now. My classmate told me that it was not a big deal, but Yelu Zongyuan's action is getting bigger and bigger now, and he is recruiting troops. The number has exceeded the normal defense. The impeacher told He Libo that there was something at home, which must have something to do with Yelu Zongyuan's action. If this can make Wang go to Liao and there is a letter from the people around him, once there is civil strife in Liao, it will be difficult for Wang to get rid of it.

Yue Li said and frowned. He scratched the boss's heart for Wang. Wang nodded thoughtfully: "So my brother-in-law deliberately sent that letter to remind me and He Libo."

Yue Li looked at Wang and said, "Yes, that's their family affairs. The matter has been written. If you have to make a mission, you can have time to prepare and find a reason to refuse. As for whether He Li Bo wants to return to Liao, it is completely up to him."

After listening, Wang thought for a moment and laughed. Yue Li looked at him and said, "If there is nothing, why are you still laughing?"

After listening to what Yue Li said, Wang felt much more relaxed. He smiled and said, "If my brother-in-law doesn't tell me, I don't know what will happen. Now after listening to this, my heart is open. At least I already know what the other party wants to do. Don't worry, brother-in-law, I have my own response."

He saw Yue Li nod, so he asked, "I want to ask my brother-in-law how Daizhou Liu Zhifu knows about this, and who your classmate can tell me, if I meet him when I travel in the future, I can be prepared."

Yue Li hesitated for a moment. After all, he was his classmate, but considering that Wang's side is now famous, what he did was not beneficial to the country and the people. If someone harmed Wang's side, it would not be reasonable from Yue Li. Besides, the man did things openly and aboveboard. He looked down on the classmate and the prince in his heart.

"Daizhou Liu Zhifu and I are old friends. He happened to come to me some time ago. Speaking of you, I am very grateful for your advice on the management of border logging. We talked about Yun picking the recommendation of the prince, and I told him the idea that you offended the prince. As for my classmate, brother, don't worry, Yue believes in his brother's brother. It's not shameful to do this to that person, so I'm telling you now that you should be more careful when you meet this person in the future.

The king looked at Yue Li and listened carefully,

Yue Li paused for a moment: "This person's surname is Qin and his name is Qin Minzhi. I don't know if the brothers next to Wang can recognize this person."

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have seen the name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. He shook his head,

Yue Li seems to have realized that his classmate is no longer in the capital all year round, and it is no wonder that the king doesn't know it, so he said, "He is a sailiff in the north room of the Privy Council. His current official position is Wailang, a right secretary. He often goes in and out of the Liaoning and is not in the court, so it is normal for no brothers to know him."

There are so many officials in the court of the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for the king to know. He knows that the north room is one of the twelve rooms under the Privy Council. There are twelve rooms under the Privy Council, including the north room, the Hexi room, the branch room, the Beijing room, the school reading room, the Guangxi room, the military registration room, the militia room, the official room, the knowledge room, and the horse. Room, small official's room,

This is not right. Now the officials of the State of Song know that Yelu Zongyuan of Liao recruits soldiers to buy horses. Doesn't Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, know that if Yelu Zongyuan really rebelled, it is not a secret.

"Brother-in-law, there is another thing I don't understand. Didn't Yelu Hongji notice such a big move as Yelu Zongyuan?"

"If there is no brother, you are not as much as I know. Yelu Zongyuan originally held a heavy army in his hand. Even if Yelu Hongji noticed it, he did not dare to make a standstill directly face to face. What's more, he is now the same as his father Yelu Zongzhen. He plays hunting and drinking all day long. There are only a few treacherous ministers around him, and naturally he doesn't care about it. So many political affairs, so what did his uncle Yelu Zongyuan do, and no one told Yelu Hongji.

The king speculated in his heart what kind of people Yelu Zongzhen, Yelu Zongyuan and Yelu Hongji were. He looked at Yue Li and seemed to know more about Yue Liao. It would be better to take this opportunity to ask more advice: "Brother-in-law, I also heard that Yelu Zongyuan could have been the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, but he has never done it. Why now? Instead, I want to take the position.

Yue Li smiled, and Wang was the right person to ask. Since he became the governor of Baozhou, Baozhou has been an important border of Song and Liao. Now Song and Liao are highly vigilant when he is a magistrate, so he is basically familiar with the history of Liao,

"Since my brother wants to ask, I'll just tell my brother..." With that, he was going to talk about the relationship between the three. Wang saw Yue Li pulling up his sleeves. It seemed that he didn't make three or two sentences clear, so he said, "Brother-in-law, later, I'll ask someone to prepare something. Wine and vegetables, let's talk while talking.

After saying that, the king greeted people to put down the wine and dishes, and listened to Yue Li slowly:

Yelü Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan were born to the same mother, and their mothers are both Xiao Yujin,

I have to mention two women here. One is Xiao Zhuo (Xiao Yanyan), a very heavyweight woman in the State of Liao, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who is very famous in history, met the State of Song against the "Yang Family General" and signed the alliance of Tanyuan with the State of Song.

Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Zongyuan's mother, Xiao Yujin, is a descendant of the aristocracy. After being made a concubine, she worked as a maid of honor in the Empress Dowager Xiao's palace.

When it comes to the second woman in Liao, she is indeed a gentle and virtuous woman, that is, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, the second queen of Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, and Brother Xiaozi Bodhisattva, the daughter of Xiao Kuiyin, the younger brother of the wise queen Xiao Zhuo (Xiao Yanyan),

These three women decided the battle for the throne after the succession of Yelu Zongzhen in Liao,

Empress Dowager Xiao is the daughter of Xiao Siwen, the Privy Council of the Northern Liaoning Court and the Prime Minister of the Northern Court. She is known as the "Empress Dowager Chengtian" in history. She is a famous female politician and military strategist in the history of Liao. She is very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, Empress Xiao Bo-in-law. Although she is also a close relative, the queen is weak and has no courage of Empress Dowager Xiao at all. The most important thing is The fate is that the queen's two sons died,

When Xiao Yujin served the Empress Dowager Xiao, the Empress Dowager Xiao found that Xiao Yujin was very thoughtful and bold. There was a legend in the history of Liao, which said that Xiao Yujin was originally very ugly, with a dark face and fierce eyes like a wolf. However, because of her background, the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu still married her. Entering the harem, Longxu never treated her as a concubine, but just arranged her in her mother Xiao's tent as a maid of honor. One day, when she was cleaning the bed for Empress Dowager Xiao, she accidentally picked up a golden chicken. Suddenly, Empress Dowager Xiao entered the account. In a hurry, she swallowed the golden chicken. Unexpectedly, the golden chicken was a chicken-like magic medicine. After a few God, Xiao Yujin's skin has been reborn and become radiant,

The fool also knows that this is impossible. It can only be said that Xiao Qianjin endured humiliation and finally won the love of Empress Dowager Xiao, so the Empress Dowager Xiao ordered Longxu to have sex with him. In February of the fifth year of Kaitai (1016), Xiao Qianjin really gave birth to a son and named him Mu Bugu,

This child named Mu Butu is the future Liao Emperor Liao Xingzong Yelu Zongzhen,

The queen raised Yelu Zongzhen as a very loving child. Later, Xiao Yujin gave birth to another son, that is, Yelu Zongyuan. Although the two brothers had a good relationship, Xiao Yujin regarded Xiao Bodhisattva as a thorn in his side and killed Brother Xiao Bodhisattva to become independent, and even planned to let Yelu Zongyuan replace the crown prince.

Later, Yelu Zongyuan made war achievements, and his military power became more and more powerful, but he still had a deep relationship with Yelu Zongzhen, who had succeeded to the throne. Yelu Zong Zhen believed in religion, but he still did not forget **le. On a trip, Yelu Zongzhen wanted to have fun in the temple, so he ordered his concubine to pretend to be a Taoist aunt, and was recognized by Yelu Zong Yuan. , so I asked the royal brother,

Yelüzong was really cunning and bet with his brothers that there was no concubine in the temple. If one of them would lose to his younger brother's city. As a result, several disguised Taoist nuns were found by Yelu Zongyuan. Yelu Zongzhen also felt embarrassed, but later Yelu Zongyuan did not mention it at all. Liao Xingzong In gratitude, he promised to pass on the throne to his younger brother Yelu Zongyuan after his death,

But Yelu Zongyuan was cunning again. After his death, the throne was passed on to his son Yelu Hongji. Now that Yelu Zongyuan's son Yelu Hongxiao (Nerugu) has grown up, he no longer wants his father to endure, not only for his father Yelu Zongyuan, but also for himself,
