Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    He was not born into the second generation of officials, nor the second generation of rich people, nor the popular outcasts or illegitimate children of wealthy families.  As a well-established and well-established woman, Zhang Fan expressed that she was under a lot of pressure. In order to punch the second-generation officials and kick the second-generation rich, she had no choice but to become a super nouveau riche.

    Teachers, school beauties, and mature women are all here, so why is there still a wealthy daughter?  It's wrong to not have the right door!  Your family won't discriminate against me?  Sorry, I am discriminating against the wealthy Chinese families who steal the country and steal the people.

    Although Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom was the most prosperous city in the Liao Kingdom, it was not as good as Tokyo, the city that never sleeps in Daliang. After nightfall, no one moved around except for the soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Only a few wealthy families' homes were brightly lit and people were drinking and drinking.  Although the country is in a difficult situation, many nobles of the Liao Kingdom are still intoxicated with sensuality.

    There were even more senior officials gathering at Taiwei Li Chuwen's house.

    In March, Yelu Yanxi fled into Jiashan. After several days of no news, Li Chuwen took the lead in supporting Yelu Chun, the king of Nanyuan, as emperor.

    Yelu Chun reciprocated the favor and entrusted Li Chuwen and his cronies with important responsibilities.

    Li Chuwen was appointed as Taiwei, his younger brother Li Chuneng knew the Privy Council, his son Li Shi was appointed as the Shaofu¡¯s young eunuch, his confidant Zuo Qigong was appointed as Situ, Jinshi Li Shuang, Chen Mi and others were also appointed.

    Relying on Yelu Chun's cronies, Li Chuwen and his family were very popular, and many members of the Liao clan were vying to befriend Li Chuwen.

    In the past, when Li Chuwen gathered everyone, they would have a banquet, with constant laughter and laughter. Today, everyone is sitting upright, and the atmosphere is quite solemn.

    Li Chuwen saw that all his confidants were here, so he said: "Today the King of Xiangyin sent an envoy, saying that the King of Xiangyin has summoned 50,000 elite cavalry from Tiande, Yunnei and other states. In August, he will bring troops to Nanjing to fight against the Jin Dynasty.  Please ask Nanjing to send clothes to Shangjing.¡±

    When everyone heard that Yelu Yanxi, whom they had deposed, actually summoned 50,000 troops, their expressions changed.

    Zuo Qigong was flustered and said, "Then King Xiangyin has asked Emperor Tianxi for his crime?"

    Li Chuwen shook his head and said: "On the contrary, the King of Xiangyin also commended the emperor for his meritorious service in guarding Nanjing. Now the Liao Kingdom was divided into two. Emperor Tianxi controlled the Nanjing Road, and King Xiangyin commanded some tribes on the Xijing Road and Shangjing Road. Xiang  If King Yin turns against Emperor Tianxi, it will only benefit the Kingdom of Jin. "

    Li Chuneng said: "Perhaps because Emperor Tianxi is seriously ill, King Xiangyin wants to sit back and watch what happens. Then he will take back the Nanjing Road."

    Li Chuwen couldn't help but frown when he heard this.  A few months after Yelu Chun became emperor, he suddenly fell ill and was already seriously ill.

    Li Shi said: "If Emperor Tianxi welcomes King Xiangyin back, King Xiangyin may not accuse Emperor Tianxi. But those of us who were the first to support Emperor Tianxi may not escape punishment."

    Before he supported Yelu Chun, Li Chuneng served as prime minister, and his closest confidants were all civil servants. Although Li Chuneng was later appointed to the Privy Council, Li Chuneng was unable to wrest much military power from Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others.  .  The reason why Yelv Chun was supported in the first place was because Ye Lu Chun had always had prestige in the army, and Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others also sided with them.  Only then can they add Yelu Chun's yellow robe.

    If the King of Xiangyin really comes back, he will not dare to punish Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi, who are armed with soldiers and horses. But the lives of these civil servants will be in danger.

    Li Chuwen glanced at everyone and said: "Emperor Tianxi will definitely convene everyone to discuss matters tomorrow. Do you have any countermeasures?"

    Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chuwen's son Li Shi said, "We must not let King Xiangyin come back, otherwise we will be doomed."

    Li Chuwen nodded and said: "We were the first to support Emperor Tianxi. King Xiangyin is not a generous person. Once he comes back, he will definitely punish us."

    Zuo Qigong said: "Emperor Tianxi has no heirs, King Xiangyin is coming with troops, and the Kingdom of Jin is eyeing him. I'm afraid Emperor Tianxi will not refuse King Xiangyin's entry."

    Jinshi Li Shuang said: "The King of Xiangyin is sitting on the power of the whole country, running away everywhere, and has lost the hearts of the people. Emperor Tianxi has no heirs. We can welcome the King of Qin to come back as the crown prince, but refuse the entry of the King of Xiangyin. In this way, we can also let the King of Xiangyin enter the country.  Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others are on our side."

    When Li Chuwen heard this, his eyes lit up.

    King Qin is the son of Yelu Yanxi and the son of Xiao Fengxian¡¯s sister Yuan Fei.  He was able to serve as prime minister in the first place only because Xiao Fengxian continued to recommend him to Yelu Yanxi.  After Li Chuwen became prime minister, he always fell in love with Xiao Fengxian.  Xiao Fengxian had been plotting to make the King of Qin the crown prince, and Li Chuwen also made a lot of efforts for the King of Qin.

    In the first month of this year, the rebel general of the Liao clan, Yelu Yujian, led the Jin soldiers to pursue Yelu Yanxi. Xiao Fengxian said slyly: "Yel¨¹ Yujian is here to greet his nephew King Jin. If he kills the King of Jin, the Jin soldiers can retreat without a fight." Yelu Yujian.  Yanxi quiltThe Jin soldiers were so frightened by the pursuit that they ordered the king of Jin to be killed.  As a result, the Jin soldiers still attacked Yelu Yanxi's palace, which frightened Yelu Yanxi and led his troops to flee again, losing all the imperial seals on the way.

    Yelu Yanxi also woke up and knew that Xiao Fengxian was a traitor. However, he was moved by Xiao Fengxian's slander and did not execute Xiao Fengxian and his son. Instead, he had them driven away.

    As a result, before they had gone far, Xiao Fengxian's followers tied up Xiao Fengxian and his son, and gave them to the Jin soldiers who followed them in exchange for wealth.  The Jin people also knew that Xiao Fengxian was a treacherous minister of the Liao Kingdom, and beheaded Xiao Fengxian's eldest son on the spot.  Xiao Fengxian hurriedly mentioned that Wanyan Aguda refused to dance for Yelu Yanxi that day, and he escaped because of his good words.  The Jin general heard that Xiao Fengxian was kind to the emperor, and he did not dare to kill again. He had to send people to escort Xiao Fengxian and his second son back to the Kingdom of Jin. He did not want to encounter Liao soldiers on the way, and Xiao Fengxian and his son were kidnapped by the Liao soldiers again.  When Yelu Yanxi learned that Xiao Fengxian wanted to invest money, he was no longer polite and had Xiao Fengxian and his son beheaded on the spot.

    Li Chuwen took the lead in supporting Yelu Chun because he was afraid that Yelu Yanxi would send people to pursue Xiao Fengxian's followers.  His position as prime minister was recommended by Xiao Fengxian, and later he devoted himself to supporting Xiao Fengxian. He can be said to be Xiao Fengxian's best confidant.  If Xiao Fengxian's gang members were captured, he would be the first to be arrested.  Therefore, there was no news about Yelu Yanxi for several days, so Li Chuwen immediately encouraged everyone to support Yelu Chun.

    Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others fled everywhere because Yelu Yanxi did not actively resist the Jin Dynasty, and did not want to sit back and watch the Liao Kingdom's demise.

    Li Chuwen was very close to the King of Qin when he was attached to Xiao Fengxian.  If the King of Qin is brought back, not only will he not have to worry about being accused, but he may also be able to go one step further.

    Li Chuwen patted the case and said, "Okay. This is a very good plan. Li Shi, go to Xiao Qian's house and talk to him about this matter to see what his opinions are."

    Li Shi did not dare to delay, and immediately got up and went to Xiao Qian's house.

    It wasn¡¯t until Li Shi brought back the news that Xiao Qian agreed to the matter that Li Chuwen let everyone disperse.

    Early the next day, an envoy from the palace came to invite Li Chuwen into the palace.

    Li Chuwen rushed into the palace with his entourage. Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi had already entered the palace not long ago.  Grand Master Zhang Lin also came.

    Before supporting Yelu Chun, Zhang Lin was also the prime minister. Yelu Yanxi asked Zhang Lin, Li Chuwen and Yelu Chun to guard the Nanjing Road.  On that day, Li Chuwen and Xiao Qian planned to support Yelu Chun and gathered Yelu Dashi and other officials and tens of thousands of people in the city before inviting Zhang Lin.  Zhang Lin heard the plan of Li Chuwen and others.  It is recommended that Yelu Chun be regent. If there is news about Yelu Yanxi, everyone will not be at fault.  However, Li Chuwen rejected Zhang Lin's proposal and insisted on letting Yelu Chun ascend the throne. Although Zhang Lin was unwilling, she did not dare to object.  When everyone arrived in front of Yelu Chun's house, they asked Yelu Chun to come out.  Li Chuwen put a yellow robe on Yelu Chun and asked the officials to lead the people to worship.  Yelu Chun was also horrified and refused again and again, but Li Chuwen and others firmly disagreed.  In the end, he had no choice but to become Emperor Tianxi and demote Yelu Yanxi to King of Xiangyin.

    A few days after Yelu Chun ascended the throne, there was news about Yelu Yanxi.  Yelu Chunxu was frightened and fell ill not long after he ascended the throne.

    Yelv Chun was already terminally ill at this time.  I can only lie down on the bed.

    Seeing that the four summoned people had arrived, he asked his attendants to help him up.  There were several pillows placed behind his back, and he was half sitting and half lying, leaning on them.  Then he motioned to Mrs. Xiao who was sitting by the bed to speak, and then closed his eyes.

    Queen Xiao said: "The King of Xiangyin sent an envoy yesterday. He has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses. He wants to come to Nanjing Road in August to resist the Jin soldiers. What do you think?"

    The four of them had actually received the news, but they still looked surprised when they heard the news.

    Li Chuwen said: "The Jin soldiers have been chasing the King of Xiangyin, and Xijing Road has defected to the Jin Kingdom. How could he gather 50,000 soldiers and horses? I'm afraid there is some fraud in it."

    Mrs. Xiao shook his head and said: "Probably not. Most of the people he summoned were from various grassland ministries, so he asked us to send clothes."

    Li Chuwen said: "Even if the King of Xiangyin really gathers 50,000 soldiers and horses, he can't welcome him back. There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Now that the Liao Kingdom already has Emperor Tianxi, when he comes back, there will definitely be chaos.  Take advantage of by Jin Bing."

    Mrs. Xiao said: "If you reject him, what should you do if he leads troops to attack?"

    Li Chuwen thought for a while and then said: "If the King of Xiangyin is allowed to come back, even if Emperor Tianxi abdicates, I am afraid that the King of Xiangyin will not be able to accommodate the emperor. The heroic spirit of the King of Jin has not gone far. Moreover, the King of Xiangyin likes hunting and is not interested in military affairs.  , has long lost the hearts of the people, and does not actively resist the Jin Kingdom. If the throne is returned to him, the Liao Dynasty will not be preserved sooner or later. We might as well take the King of Qin back and make him the emperor. The King of Qin also has a virtuous reputation. If he is allowed to be the emperor, the country will be in trouble.  People's hearts can be united again to protect the Liao Kingdom."

    Yelu Chun had already discussed with the Xiao family about abdicating the throne to welcome Yelu Yanxi back, but the Xiao family did not agree with this matter.  not sureWhen Yelu Yanxi came back, Yelu Chundu was already dead, but she could not die or escape. If Yelu Yanxi wanted to be held accountable, she would undoubtedly become a scapegoat, so she was unwilling to welcome Yelu Yanxi back.

    Hearing Li Chuwen talk about the King of Jin, Mrs. Xiao felt even more unable to welcome Yelu Yanxi back.  The King of Jin was the son of Yelu Yanxi, and he had always been prestigious in the army. However, he was first framed by Xiao Fengxian for rebelling, and was put under house arrest first, and then forced Yelu Yujian to rebel.  Later, he believed Xiao Fengxian's slander and had King Jin killed.  It can be seen that as long as it harms Yelu Yanxi, he will not let it go.

    Although Mrs. Xiao has always been dissatisfied with Li Chuwen and Xiao Qian who held Yelu Chun hostage, today she had to agree with Li Chuwen's idea and turned to the other three people: "What do you think?"

    Xiao Qiandao: "I think Mr. Li is right in saying that the King of Xiangyin cannot continue to be emperor."

    Xiao Qian is the king of Xi Liubu and the general manager of the military affairs of the East Road, and he has the greatest military power.

    Xiao Qian agreed, and Zhang Lin said: "I also agree."

    Yelu Dashi thought about it for a moment and felt that Yelu Yanxi was indeed unreliable. He nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is good."

    Seeing that all four people agreed, Mrs. Xiao turned to Yelu Chun who said nothing and said, "The four important ministers have agreed. Is it okay for the Emperor to see it?"

    Yelu Chun opened his eyes, glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and said: "This matter is related to the national destiny of the Liao Kingdom, so we should summon all officials to discuss it."

    The civil servants of Nanjing were headed by Li Chuwen and Zhang Lin.  The military attach¨¦s were led by Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi. The four agreed, and most of the officials followed suit.

    Although Mrs. Xiao couldn't figure out why Yelu Chun went to such unnecessary lengths, she still asked people to invite hundreds of officials in the city.

    It took half an hour for all the officials in the city to arrive one after another.

    When Mrs. Xiao saw that everyone had arrived, she said to Yelu Chun who was concentrating with his eyes closed: "All the officials have arrived."

    Yelu Chun just said something and seemed to have exhausted all his energy. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Mrs. Xiao, then closed his eyes again: "Tell them."

    "kindness"

    Xiao turned around and said to the crowd: "The King of Xiangyin has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses. He is coming to Nanjing in August. Taiwei Li, Taishi Zhang, King Xiao, and General Yelu proposed to welcome the King of Qin and refuse the entry of the King of Xiangyin.  Lieutenant Li, please tell me what you think."

    Li Chuwen said: "The king of Xiangyin likes hunting, and he is too busy with military affairs. Let him return to the throne. I am afraid that the Nanjing Road will not be protected. The King of Qin has a good reputation. Welcoming him as emperor can unite people's hearts and protect the Liao Kingdom."  "

    Xiao Qian was a warrior, so he was impatient to discuss further and said directly: "We all agree to welcome Qin and reject Hunan. Those who agree stand on the east side. Those who oppose stand on the west side."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the people standing on the west side moved to the east side one after another.

    Not long after, only Yeruning was left in the south to deploy the camp in the west.

    Li Chuwen felt that he had said a lot and saw some objections.  He frowned and said, "Why do you oppose welcoming Qin and rejecting Xiang?"

    Yeruning said: "If the King of Xiangyin can indeed gather a large army to march to Nanjing, how can he refuse even if the days are not over? Furthermore, Qin and Xiang. Father and son, if they refuse, they will both refuse. Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of welcoming a son but rejecting him.  Father?"

    Li Chuwen smiled and said: "The King of Xiangyin did not dare to resist the Jin Kingdom with the strength of the whole country. Now only the Nanjing Road is left. Do you expect him to come back and use the Nanjing Road to resist the Jin Kingdom?"

    Xiao Qian became even more furious and scolded: "Yeluning slapped the army into disarray. Please order the emperor to kill this person to serve as a warning to others."

    Yelu Chun opened his eyes, looked at the two sides with huge disparity in power below, sighed, and said: "Yelu Ning is a loyal minister, how can I kill him? If the King of Xiangyin really comes, I will only die. How can I show my face?"  he."

    On that day, Yelu Chun was also dressed in yellow robes, thinking that Yelu Yanxi was dead, so he agreed to be the emperor.  However, he is also a responsible person and does not shirk responsibility.

    When everyone saw what Yelu Chun said, they all looked at each other in shock.

    Xiao Qian looked at Li Chuwen and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

    Li Chuwen immediately followed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

    "Your Majesty, please think twice."

    ¡­¡­

    Yelu Chun saw that all the officials were following Xiao Qian and Li Chuwen to kidnap him. Thinking of the day when he ascended the throne, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes in anger and fainted.

    Mrs. Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor."

    After Yelu Chun fell ill, he was always accompanied by an imperial doctor.

    Seeing that Yelu Chun had fainted, the imperial doctor quickly ran to him, picked up Yelu Chun's wrist and felt his pulse, shook his head and said, "The emperor's condition was already serious, and he was so angry just now that he was very angry. I'm afraid"

    Although it was not stated clearly, everyone knew what the imperial doctor meant.

      When Mrs. Xiao heard that her husband's life was in danger, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Qian and Li Chuwen who were taking the lead with hatred.

    Li Chuwen couldn't help but tremble when he saw Mrs. Xiao's resentful eyes.

    Xiao Qian was unmoved. He was the king of Xi Liubu, and the Xiao family was also a Xi person. There was no inextricable hatred.  What's more, most of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing Road are under his command. Even if Yelu Yanxi comes back, he will not be afraid, so why should he be afraid of a woman from the Xiao family.

    Zhang Lin said: "The emperor is not feeling well. It is better for the officials to retreat temporarily and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the emperor. The emperor is a lucky person and should be able to survive this disaster."

    Mrs. Xiao also ran out of ideas and nodded: "Yes, yes, please invite other imperial doctors."

    Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was ignoring everyone, Xiao Qian simply cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave."

    After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

    The generals under Xiao Qian also resigned one after another. Li Chuwen did not want to stay with a woman who wanted to take her own life, so he resigned with his civilian officials.

    In the blink of an eye, the palace became deserted, with only one imperial doctor and a few servants left.

    Seeing the dying Yelu Chun, Mrs. Xiao could no longer suppress the grief in her heart and cried on the bed.

    That night, Yelu Chun died.

    Mrs. Xiao knew that the news in the palace could not be hidden from anyone, so she immediately sent people to invite hundreds of officials to the court overnight.

    Li Chuwen came to the palace and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yelu Chun's body.  Although Yelu Chun is critically ill, he is the emperor they support after all, and he has always had prestige in the army. If Yelu Chun must welcome back the King of Xiangyin, 80% of the Khitan clan will side with Yelu Chun.  Now that Yelu Chun is dead, the Khitan clan is leaderless.  Although Yelu Dashi has prestige, he has only been an official for six or seven years, and his qualifications are still relatively young.

    After everyone paid homage to Yelu Chun, Grand Master Zhang Lin said, "Does your Majesty have an edict?"

    Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "The emperor has not woken up."

    Why is Zhang Lin saying, "Without the imperial edict, where should we go?"

    Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears and said, "What ideas can I, a woman, have? You are the ministers of the imperial court. You can tell me."

    Xiao Qian immediately stepped forward without hesitation and said: "For the purpose of the Liao Dynasty, I thought we should welcome Qin and reject Hunan."

    Li Chuwen also said: "I also thought that I should welcome Qin and reject Hunan."

    As soon as the two opened their mouths, dozens of wings immediately echoed.

    Yelu Dashi and the Khitan clan looked at each other and said, "I also thought that I should welcome Qin and reject Xiang."

    "I thought I should welcome the King of Xiangyin back to the capital."

    Among the voices of welcoming Qin and rejecting Hunan, only Yeruning insisted on welcoming the King of Xiangyin. However, he was not senior enough and did not have military power in his hands, but he could not overcome the opinions of others.

    At this time, Mrs. Xiao also realized how helpless Yelv Chun was when he was held hostage, and said helplessly: "Then welcome Qin and reject Xiang."

    Zhang Lin said: "The King of Qin is far away in Jiashan. Military and state affairs cannot be left without an owner for a day. I think that we should establish the King of Qin as the emperor from afar and respect the Queen as the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother will deter military and state affairs and change the Yuan Dynasty's organizational system."

    Mrs. Xiao declined and said: "We welcome the King of Qin as the emperor, and the Queen Mother should be her biological mother, Concubine Yuan. How can I dare to overstep her bounds?"

    After some refusals, Xiao finally became the Queen Mother and changed to Yuan Dexing. The power was still controlled by Xiao Qian, Li Chuwen and others.
