When the news of Yelu Deguang's death came, everyone in Yanjing celebrated. The Khitans were always the great enemy of the Central Plains. Now that the enemy chieftain was dead, the whole country naturally celebrated.
A few days later, Yang Yi from Dingliao sent a letter to the Privy Council, suggesting that the Central Committee must take strict precautions against the Khitans.
Since Yang Yi was injured, he has been idle for a long time. Mobei is divided into two parts, with the eastern military power in Shijian and the western military power in Shiba. Wuzhou's front-line defense team was divided into two groups: Chai Rong and Yelu Antuan. Both of them were directly affiliated with Yanjing. After Yang Yi gradually recovered from his injuries, martial arts scholar Ding Hanshan once suggested that he should be allowed to take charge of the army again. At that time, the great scholar Feng Dao thought that Yang Yi's body had not fully recovered and it was better to continue to recuperate. Therefore, during this period of time, Yang Yi, as a general, had no military power and was idle in Dingliao until now.
Yang Yi¡¯s suggestion was not top secret, so Cao Yuanzhong brought it up for discussion.
According to the system, the spokesperson has the right to keep everything secret. However, in the past, Yang Dingguo spent most of his thoughts on civil matters. Zhang Mai and the Government Affairs Council did not invite him, so he had the right to pretend that he did not know. After Feng Dao took over, he became more active. Therefore, they requested that the Yibing Hall, one of the twenty-four halls, be allowed to participate in the matter.
Zheng Wei was quite disgusted with this and rejected Feng Dao's request on the spot.
Although the Correctional Forum has the setting up of the Military Council, it is completely different from the Privy Council in terms of function. It has three main functions: the first is to discuss issues related to military system construction and formulate motions; the second is to monitor the system of the military system. The current status of the problem and the formation of a restructuring motion; the third is to supervise the military's supervision system, the Fa Cao. If the Fa Cao's tendencies deviate, the Yibingtang has the right to intervene to prevent the corruption of the Fa Cao system itself.
The above three items all play a role at the institutional level, so the five censors of Yibingtang are elected from the grassroots, middle and senior levels of the army, as well as from the military family members. Coupled with a non-military personnel, these people can well represent the military spirit of all walks of life, but they are not wise, brave or famous generals in the army. As for Yang Yi's suggestions, they were matters at the implementation level. Zheng Wei's mind was very clear and logical, and he was quite strong in the face of Feng Dao, so he refused to participate in the correction forum. Only the Privy Council, the Government Affairs Council and the Hanlin Academy were allowed to conduct court deliberations. But out of respect for the big spokesperson, Feng Dao was invited to attend.
As a result of the court discussion, Ding Hanshan, a scholar of martial arts at the Hanlin Academy, said he should support Yang Yi's suggestions, but several officials in the Government Affairs Council felt that Yang Yi was too sensitive.
The Liao people will plant spies in Yanjing, and the Tang army will naturally arrange spies in Tokyo. The senior officials in Yanjing are all aware of what happened in Liaoyang Mansion recently. Fan Zhi and Li Ma both believe that given the current situation in Khitan, Yelu Deguang will If the Liao Kingdom dies, there will probably be civil strife. Under such a situation, as the saying goes, if you have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you invade the west? Zhang Yi maintained neutrality on the grounds that he was not good at military affairs.
Even in the Privy Council, Lu Jialing felt that Yang Yi's argument seemed unreasonable. Cao Yuanzhong had been in the army for a long time, and he vaguely felt that Yang Yi's motion seemed unreasonable, but it contained an intuitive prediction of the enemy's situation. However, he still agreed with Zhang Yi Same. Deliberately maintaining a neutral opinion.
Ding Hanshan did not have a strong voice in the entire court discussion, and the final result of the discussion was. The general opinion is that Yang Yi's judgment is not accepted, but as a respect for General Yang, he still orders Wuhan, Luan, Tianjin and Deng to strengthen border defense as a routine.
When the court meeting was about to end, Feng Dao expressed his opinion that Yelu Deguang was the emperor of the same country, even though Tang and Liao were enemies. But it is also time to send envoys to greet them, and by the way, they can also send envoys to get a glimpse of the Khitan's reality. Everyone felt that this was appropriate, and then discussed the etiquette of envoys.
¡°As a result, without realizing it, the court meeting accidentally went awry.
After Guo Fen got the result of the court discussion, he thought to himself: "Since Brother Yi has proposed defense against Liao Dynasty, it must not be without aim. It's just that this is everyone's decision, and I can't overturn it without a valid reason. Alas, these military matters I half understand things, but now there is no one to ask!¡±
It stands to reason that the Hanlin Academy should be prepared for the emperor's questions and should appear at this time, but Ding Hanshan, a martial arts scholar in the Hanlin Academy, seems unworthy of this responsibility. There are many brave generals in the Tiance Tang Army, and there are also many famous generals, but they are all distributed in various places, and there is not one in the capital! So he wrote this trouble in a letter and rushed it six hundred miles to Kucha. At the same time, the results of the court discussion were reported back to Yang Yi.
After Yang Yi got his opinion, he invited him to Beijing to discuss the matter.
He is a person at the level of a general. He is both a soldier and an important political official. If a general wants to go to Beijing, he not only needs the approval of the emperor and the consent of the Privy Council, but also the disciplinary committee and the supervisory committee are alarmed. Feng Dao is the first to object. Although Wei Renpu resigned, he still held objections to this. The reasons expressed by everyone were very polite, that is, they believed that Yang Yi had worked hard for the country and was now ill, so it was better to rest instead of working hard. But in the end, they all mentioned that General Yang would Before returning to Beijing, it is best to wait until the marshal returns to the west.
"Guo Fenzheng is worried that no one can ask the military.?, I was happy to hear that Yang Yi was coming back, but when I saw the reactions from all parties, I couldn't help complaining to my daughter: "Why is it hard to fight for the country? What is better for resting instead of working hard? Why are they worried about me?" Don¡¯t you know?¡±
The things that civil servants were worried about were too sensitive, so no one mentioned them even in the top-secret memorial. However, Zhang Yunzhao had no taboos. He pouted and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that Uncle Yi will rebel if dad is not around?"
Li Fang next to him said in surprise: "Princess, don't talk nonsense! It will be a big deal if these words get out!"
Zhang Ynzhao smiled and said: "If you dare to think about it, don't let me say it! But, dad is not here, and with Uncle Yi's prestige, if he really wants to raise his arms and create a Qingjun or something, no one in Yanyun and Hebei can stop him."
Li Fang¡¯s expression changed drastically, he knelt down to Guo Fen and said, ¡°The princess made rude remarks, please reduce the blame!¡±
Guo Fen saw that Li Fang had such a big reaction. He understood why he was like this, but he also felt that Li Fang was making a fuss out of a molehill. However, what he said was not completely unreasonable, so he scolded Zhang Yunchao and said, "Don't talk nonsense about important national affairs." ¡±
Zhang Yunchao stuck out his tongue and made another grimace.
Li Fang was very dissatisfied when he saw Guo Fen letting him off so lightly. But there is no way.
In fact, this matter was not an overreaction by Feng Dao, Li Fang and others. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, warlords took over power. Soldiers force generals and generals force kings to emerge one after another. Everyone talks about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but no one believes it in their hearts. Therefore, anyone who supports the army is tabooed by the master. Although Yang Yi does not have troops now, he still relies on his prestige in the army. As Zhang Yunzhao said, no one can stop the rebellion without Zhang Mai. Since he has the ability to rebel, no matter whether he has the intention to rebel or not, he should be on guard against death. This is the first reaction in the minds of Feng Dao and others. To be fair, the starting point for Feng Dao, Li Fang and others to think so is, first of all, for the sake of the country. , the second is for the royal family, not necessarily for themselves.
But Guo Fen has not experienced the various political tragedies that Feng Dao and the others have experienced, and his mind is relatively bright. Since he believed that Yang Yi could not rebel, he felt that Feng Dao and Li Fang were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Although Yang Yi was in Dingliao, Yanjing still felt suspicious of him. His two requests were rejected. No matter how upright his original ambition was, he felt a little depressed for a moment and couldn't help cursing: "I, Yang Yi, only serve the country, what are these rotten scholars thinking!" But think about the difficulty of starting a business in this country. Considering that the current situation has not come easily, I really don¡¯t want anything to go wrong. So he suppressed his anger and asked Guo Fen to confirm the bitter cold in Liao Dynasty, hoping to go to Miyun with beautiful environment to recuperate.
Even Guo Fen understood that recuperation was just an excuse, and thought to himself: "Looking at Brother Yi's repeated requests, he is probably afraid that something big will happen. He wants to deal with it nearby." Then he figured it out.
Li Fang is the secretary, and this matter has to be handled by him. When he heard about it, he objected on the spot and said: "Miyun is close to the capital, coming to Miyun. What is the difference between coming to Yanjing?"
Guo Fen said angrily: "It's not General Yang who wants to come to Yanjing to discuss military matters. It's my brother Yang Yi who wants to come to Miyun for recuperation! This is a private matter, not a public matter. Do you need approval for this? You are just a little kid. The little secretary is not the parent of my Zhang, Guo, and Yang family!"
Li Fang knelt down and said: "I don't know who brother Yang Yi is! I only know that Yang Yi is the general! Every move of General Yang is related to the state! Although the empress exercises power on behalf of the emperor, she cannot cause chaos! This matter Without the approval of the imperial court, I have to draft a document promising General Yang to come out, unless I am killed!"
"You!" Guo Fen was furious and was about to hit Li Fang on the head with the imperial seal. He barely held back before taking action and sneered: "That's it! If I really beat you, it will be you." This is the fatuous heroine that Confucian scholars call her! The court discussion is the court meeting, and I will be the one to hold the court meeting this time!"
She went down to Xishan that day, went straight to Youzhou, and held a court meeting as the emperor. The Privy Council, the Imperial Academy, the Political Council, the Review Board, and the Supervisory Board all arrived. This time Guo Fen took the chief seat and sneered at the beginning: "Dingliao is broken. General Yang Yi couldn't bear to recuperate, so he begged to come to Miyun to recuperate, I agreed! Who objects?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment. Of all the important officials present, no one except Ding Hanshan felt it was appropriate. Among them, Feng Dao, Fan Zhi and Li Bo frowned the most!
Fan Zhi had been in Liangzhou for a long time and was well aware of Guo Fen's strong character. When he saw her face, he knew that a person who resisted would not be rewarded. Feng Dao was square on the inside and round on the outside. Since he was round on the outside, he would not disobey the master regardless of the situation; Only Li Bo stood up on the spot and said, "I object!"
Guo Fen stared at him and said, "What if I must agree?"
Li Zhu said: "The emperor's order without reason is a disorderly order! If the emperor has a disorderly order, the ministers will not dare not oppose it!"
Guo Fen sneered: "I know what you are afraid of! I know what you are worried about!"
Li Bo said: "Since the empress knows what I am worried about, she should not bring up such things that will embarrass the ministers and worry the country."
Guo Fen laughed and said, "Do you think I'm just making trouble unreasonably? Do you think I'm showing favoritism?"
Li Bo and others did not answer, but the expressions on their faces clearly said: Isn¡¯t it?
Guo Fen sneered again and said: "I don't know much about national affairs, but I finally know a little about people's hearts! You don't believe in Yang Yi's loyalty, and you are afraid that Yang Yi will rebel, but have you ever thought about it? If you are so suspicious of a person who has never done anything bad, will this person feel better? Once rejected, twice rejected, three times rejected, even a fool will know that you don't trust him! Who are you! What you represent now is the country Ah! You are doing this to make Yang Yi feel that this country does not trust him!"
Feng Dao and Fan Zhi looked at each other and thought that although Guo Fen had a high status, she was an ignorant woman after all. She even said the words "rebellion".
"Yang Yi's rebellion" is something that all ministers in Beijing are afraid of, but it is also something that no one dares to say publicly. But at this time Guo Fen exposed it himself, and the court discussion was almost completely open to discussion.
Li Bo said: "No one said that General Yang would rebel, but the emperor is on a tour to the west. At this time, he should act more responsible."
"What is duty?" Guo Fen said: "The enemy country has changed. Yang Yi wants to come to Beijing to counsel the military aircraft. Isn't it his duty? Okay. You let him recuperate. He feels uncomfortable in Dingliao. You are not allowed to come to Miyun. Could it be that once he entered Beijing, he lost his duty?"
Li Zhu said: "When the emperor leaves the capital, the princes should observe the courtesy. This is the duty! When the powerful commander enters the capital, the country is in turmoil. This is not the duty."
Guo Fen laughed and said: "A Yang Yi enters the capital. This country is in turmoil? Then this country is too frivolous. Huh! I don't believe that our country will be so fragile!"
"An ancient saying goes: A gentleman takes precautions before they happen." Feng Dao saw that the smell of gunpowder from both sides was getting stronger and stronger. Li Bo's face turned red. Seeing that he was about to say something radical, he quickly intervened and said in as calm a tone as possible: "I'll wait. It¡¯s not that General Yang is disloyal, it¡¯s just a matter of people in the melon field. Since it can be avoided, it¡¯s better to avoid it. It¡¯s just a precaution against the slightest change.¡±
Guo Fen said: "The word "defense" has already revealed your distrust of him! Humph, you don't just distrust him, you yourself are also not confident! You are not confident, so you are afraid of him, you are afraid of him. That¡¯s why we guard against him!¡±
Fan Zhidao: "It's true to say that we are afraid. Dong Zhuo brought chaos to the Han people, and Zhu Wen replaced the Tang Dynasty. Since ancient times, powerful commanders entering the capital have done nothing good. I don't dare not be afraid!"
Guo Fen said: "Okay, you are all knowledgeable. I am not as good as you. But I want to ask: Is Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, or Dong Zhuo more powerful? Li Jing, Li Ji, or Zhu Wen?"
"This" Fan Zhi said: "Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen are rebellious ministers and traitors, how can they compare with Wei Huo Erli!"
Guo Fen said: "I'm not asking the loyal and rebellious ministers, I'm asking them who is the best!"
Feng Dao sighed: "Wei Huo and Li are famous generals throughout the ages. How can they compare to Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen?"
Guo Fen said: "Have Wei Huo Erli ever entered the capital?"
The ministers were speechless, and Guo Fen said: "Wei, Huo and Li, have all entered the capital, right? Why were there no chaos in the Han and Tang Dynasties at that time?"
Li Bo said: "Wei Huo Erli, at the time when the Wu and Tang Sects of the Han Dynasty were in power, how could anyone with the wisdom and martial prowess of the Wu and Tang Sects of the Han Dynasty be able to cause chaos?"
Guo Fen laughed and said: "That's it! It can be seen that it is not Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen who are in danger. It is the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty that became weak and chaotic first, and then Dong Zhuo and Zhu Wen could cause chaos! So now our country is weak and chaotic? ?¡±
"this¡¡"
Guo Fen said: "Our country is now at its peak. In the words of the marshal, it is going uphill. At this time, let alone one Yang Yi enters the capital, what will happen if ten Yang Yi enters the capital? Everyone in the world is really blind. Really? Do you really think that all military officers and soldiers are fools? Do you really think that if Yang Yigao shouts, everyone will follow him in rebellion? "
Li Bo said: "Although today's national situation can ensure that Yang Yi will not rebel, the country cannot guarantee that it will always be as strong as it is today. Setting this example may leave an excuse for future generations with ulterior motives."
Guo Fen said: "Excuseexcuse! You also know it's an excuse! Since it's an excuse, why can't you find it? If a person with ulterior motives wants to do something, is he afraid that he can't find an excuse?"
Li Bo said loudly: "What you say is sophistry! In a word, Yang Yi's visit to Beijing today is not necessary, but has hidden worries. If this is the case, why do you have to set this evil example!"
"It's not me who sets the bad example, it's you! It's you!"Guo Fen said: "If Yang Yi comes, let him come! This is my trust in him and the country's trust in him. If he fails the country, everyone in the world will see it, and Yang Yi will also remember it in his heart!" But Yang Yi is coming, and you don¡¯t want to let him come. You don¡¯t want to let him come. You don¡¯t dare to let him come! This is your suspicion of him and the country¡¯s distrust of him! If it is finally proven that Yang Yi did not rebel His heart is that the country has failed him, and everyone in the world will see it, and Yang Yi will also remember it in his heart!"
Li Bo said: "Yang Yi, as a minister, is loyal to the country and loyal to the emperor. Even if he is a little wronged, it is what he should do to endure it!"
"The country doesn't trust him, but he wants him to trust the country? Is there really such a fucking thing in the world to use the marshal's foul language?" Guo Fen said: "You Confucian Mencius, don't you also have an old saying? A king treats his ministers like brothers, and his ministers treat each other like brothers. The king is like a confidant, the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, his ministers treat him like a passerby, and his ministers treat him like dirt. His ministers treat him like enemies! Trust is always relative! If a country wants the loyalty of its people, then it must at least trust its people! If the country wants its people to be patriotic, then it must at least be patriotic! For a country that doesn¡¯t trust itself, why should Yang Yi be loyal to him? If you don¡¯t trust Yang Yi, why should you want him to be loyal to you? The country doesn¡¯t love him. Yang Yi, why should Yang Yi be patriotic! In the words of the marshal. If this country really becomes this fucked up, then let people rebel and destroy it!"
Regardless of Feng Dao, Fan Zhi, Li Bo, or Li Fang, all the civil servants looked at each other in shock.
Zheng Wei suddenly laughed and said: "That makes sense! I agree with Madam's motion! Let Yang Yi come to Miyun to recuperate."
Zhang Yi has been in Xiliang for a long time. He has cooperated closely with Zheng Wei and knows Zhang Mai's character well. He knows that Guo Fen's words are indeed Zhang Mai's style. If the marshal here is here, he will probably make the same decision. He also feels that Yang Yi's entry into Beijing may not necessarily Can subvert the country's foundation. At that moment, he also said: "I second the proposal."
Lu Jialing's thoughts were similar to Zhang Yi's, and he agreed immediately. Cao Yuanzhong rolled his eyes and came out to agree. Although Fan Zhi was a Confucian official, he was also heavily influenced by Zhang Mai. At this time, he felt that Guo Fen's words were not unreasonable, so he did not object fiercely. Although Feng Dao disapproved in his heart, he said nothing more.
The Imperial Academy¡¯s monitoring station is leaderless, and Li Bo is unable to support himself alone. Guo Fen's order finally passed.
Zheng Weihu said: "Yang Yi's entry into Beijing will have a huge influence on the Tang-Liao conflict. He can come to Miyun. But he must go south secretly and the matter must be kept secret. Please give me a strict order, madam!"
Guo Fen then said: "As the Prime Minister has agreed, today's matter must be kept secret until it is made public! Anyone who leaks it will be killed!"
But just as Fan Zhi and others expected, after Yelu Deguang mourned. The Liao Kingdom was soon on the verge of internal change.
The king dies, what should we do?
According to normal thinking, the succession of the crown prince to the throne was naturally the same as the Southern faction's original plan.
But now the situation has changed! Yelu Lihu, who had never concealed his ambitions, became the marshal of the world's military forces and controlled the military power of the entire Liao Dynasty. Who knows what will happen next!
What¡¯s even more confusing is. He should have announced the crown prince's succession as soon as possible to calm people's hearts, but Shulu Ping did not speak for a long time. On the fourth day after his death was announced, Yelv House finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked Prince Shuluping in front of the mourning hall when he would ascend the throne. Only then did Shuluping agree to hold a court meeting after the first seven days.
Shu Luping said: "In three days, we will hold a court meeting to discuss this matter."
Yeluwu asked: "Discuss? The prince has ascended the throne and only needs to implement it. What else do we need to discuss?"
Shu Luping's face turned dark, and Cha Ge shouted: "Enemy Chan, you are getting more and more impudent! The Queen Mother has already said that she will discuss it at the court meeting in three days. Are you making noise here to force her into the palace?"
Yelu Wuzhi couldn't hold it back and didn't dare to say anything more.
After Han Yanhui returned home, he and his son hid in a secret room to discuss. Han Deshu said: "Since Li Hu Bingzheng, today there will be an increase in taxes in southern Liaoning, and tomorrow there will be an increase in taxes in southern Liaoning. I don't know how many people in Liaoning and Tianjin have been forced to lose their families by the national debt." How much! Is the Queen Mother confused? You are still letting him go like this! Don¡¯t you know that if this continues, there will be civil strife in Daliao? "
Han Yanhui sighed and said: "She is not confused." Seeing that his son seemed puzzled, Han Yanhui said: "You have been in Liaojin for the past two years, so you don't have a deep understanding of the situation in Liaoyang Mansion. In the past few years, Liaoyang Mansion The life of the Han people in the south is gradually becoming more stable, and many businessmen in Liao and Tianjin are getting rich suddenly. However, the old Khitans here in Liaoyang Prefecture are selling gold and silver to make a living, and they are all holding fire in their hearts. This is the case here in Liaoyang Prefecture, Not to mention the Hun Tong River. The richer the south, the more resentful the north will be, and the further north you go, the heavier the resentment will be."
Han Deshu said: "Whether the Han people in the south or businessmen, this money was not stolen! It is all earned with hard work! The old Khitan refused to work hard in farming and did not know how to do business. This was his fault."People in the north are incompetent, how can they blame the south?" "
Han Yanhui said: "That's the truth, but they don't think so. People in the north just think that the Queen Mother is partial and makes people in the south rich. This time Li Hu raised taxes and taxes in the south, and it's not just He is just messing around just to let the people in the north take a breath. If he doesn't take a breath, I'm afraid that the old Khitans on the other side of the river and the Liaoyang Prefecture will cause trouble."
Han Deshu complained: "In order to let them breathe out, the family in the south will be destroyed?"
Han Yanhui said sadly: "If the north rebels, Daliao will be divided even if it does not perish."
Han Deshu smiled bitterly and said: "But even if the Han merchants in the south are squeezed, we dare not speak out, right? So the Queen Mother would rather attack the south."
Han Yanhui said: "The South has grievances, but it is always just grievances. The North will use force, but the South will not. In order to maintain unity, naturally it would rather let the North have peace than squeeze the South. So, the Queen Mother is not confused."
"What about the crown prince's ascension to the throne? Now everyone knows that the Queen Mother intends to establish Li Hu. Isn't this confusing?"
"This" Han Yanhui sighed: "As for my son, I can only say that the old lady is really confused"
Han Deshu said: "If the Queen Mother really wants to depose her grandson and establish her son in three days, what will father do?"
Han Yanhui seemed to be depressed: "What are the plans? Now I can fully understand that no matter whether you give me the title of prime minister or king, a slave is just a slave. These things are not something we can interfere with"
Han Deshu's eyes flickered, but he suddenly said: "But over in Yanjing, the great spokesperson chosen by the people holds the seal of dethroning the monarch!"
Han Yanhui was stunned: "Youwhat did you say!"
Han Deshu said: "What my son is talking about is the 'Seal of Words for All People'! Didn't father pay attention to the recent Yanjing University endorsement election?"
"I paid attentionbut so what?"
Han Deshu said: "Feng Dao was chosen! It wasn't someone from the Zhang family who was chosen, it wasn't someone from Guo Yangluzheng who was chosen, and it wasn't someone from Hexi who was chosen. It was Feng Dao who was the last to join Tiance! He was chosen, In other words, if it were you, dad, you would have a chance! Even if you, dad, don¡¯t have a chance, my son would also have a chance. Son, I don¡¯t have a chance, but maybe your grandson will have a chance!"
Han Yanhui said in shock: "Youwhat are you going to say?"
Han Deshu said: "Dad understands what my son said!"
Han Yanhui's thoughts suddenly fell into turmoil.
When I first heard about the bottom-up mechanism of the Corrective Commentary Platform, I just lamented that Zhang Mai loves the people, but now it seems that the situation is far from that! Especially after Feng Dao was elected, it had an impact on many people!
Now think about it carefully, the reason why this top-down system makes me feel excited is not out of any noble motives at all. Although it is cloaked as people-oriented, the most important thing about this system does not seem to be benefit. Zexiamin.
As a first-rate contemporary wise man, Han Yanhuimin realized that the most important thing about this system is to make more people feel that they have a chance!
Yes! You have a chance!
Three days later, Liaoyang Mansion.
At the Khitan ministers¡¯ meeting, not to mention Yelu Shuogu and Yelu Chage, even Yelu Anduan came, but the prince did not show up! But Li Hu was sitting next to the Queen Mother!
Yelu Wuzhi changed his color on the spot and stepped out to question: "Excuse me, Queen Mother, where is the Prince?"
Shu Luping's expression darkened and he said: "God forbid my Khitan to take away both my Mobei and my Ming Lord! Now, the country is in turmoil and Tiance is watching. At this time of danger, the Ai family thought , if a young king is established, it will not be a blessing to the country."
Her words suddenly became formal, but as soon as she said these words, everyone in the room was shocked.
