    Yang Gun did not dare to agree to the request to admonish Xiao Siwen. He had asked Xiao Siwen for important matters recently, so how could he dare to disobey him?  After coming out of Yelv Xiezhen's mansion, Yang Gun returned to a simple tent. His wife Xiao and her son stooped out of the tent, looking a little anxious, and said in Khitan language, "Husband, you are finally back." Yang Gun also  He bent down and got into the tent. His son came over with cheese tea. His wife Xiao said impatiently: "Yelu Dilie has been here. He said something to me without seeing my husband. Dilie said several things  The leaders all agreed to reinstate the husband to his position and restore the fiefdom" "I know, I know." Yang Gun became anxious when he saw his wife's expression, "Tell me what I don't know." "Wife £¤¡¾£¤¡¾.  £¤¡¾Bar,¡Í.¨‹¨R.¦æ said: "Everyone wrote a memorial and asked the Great Khan to agree, but the Great Khan sent it back! Di Lie said that the person who rejected everyone's request was Xiao Siwen, and he couldn't help.  " "What?" Yang Gun was stunned for a moment.  The wife thought he didn't understand, so she repeated: "My husband can't be reinstated because Mr. Xiao doesn't agree!" Yang Gun suddenly slapped his forehead with his palm and said, "I thought wrong! Big mistake!" At this time  , the past events of the past twenty years came to Yang Gun's mind one by one, and he had to sort it out again now.  Yang Gun was a Khitan who was born in the land of Yanyun. Since the Tang Dynasty, many Khitans admired the high-ranking families in the Central Plains, so they had Chinese surnames (such as modern countries often have English names), especially the Khitans living in Hebei.  Genglong, Yang Gun is one of them.  At first, he followed the second emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Deguang (Taizong of the Liao Dynasty), to conquer the north and south. He was highly appreciated, so he was named Yelu Dilu of the Khitan. He was also able to marry a woman from the Xiao family, who was the queen's family.  The prime ministers and queens of each dynasty all came from the Xiao family.  The problem lies here!  The root cause of the civil strife in Daliao for decades was the struggle between Liao Taizong and Liao Yizong, both of whom were sons of the founder of the country.  Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, who was followed by Yang Gun, and Yelv Jing, the "tyrant" who was assassinated, were from the Taizong lineage of the Liao Dynasty; and the current Great Khan Yelvxian was from the Yi Zong lineage, and Xiao Siwen and others also had a deeper connection with the Yi Zong lineage.  Yang Gun was a general under Taizong. After the "tyrant" Yelujing succeeded to the throne, Yang Gun was also one of Yelujing's confidants. He was once a hot celebrity in the imperial court.  However, the power struggle in the royal family is unpredictable. Yelujing was stabbed to death a few years ago. Yelujing took a big blame. The loss of Youzhou and the decline of the country were all his responsibility Yang Gun was finished now, but those who understand the current affairs are heroes.  , he surrendered to Xiao Siwen early and was saved.  After Yelv Xian ascended the throne, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xiezhen and others established a power center and purged a group of people from the "tyrant" faction to serve as a warning to others. However, it was obviously not possible to eliminate all dissidents, because Taizong's line had been in power for many years, and his party members were spread throughout Daliao.  It is impossible to kill them all, and if you strike too hard, your muscles and bones will be broken.  Therefore, Xiao Siwen needs to win over most people from Taizong's lineage, and Yang Gun is one of them.  Yang Gun was cautious at first, but when he was defeated in the Pingxia battle, Xiao Siwen saved his life despite everyone's opinions.  Yang Gun completely believed in Xiao Siwen's sincerity But now it seems that it is obviously not what Yang Gun thought.  Yang Gun was sitting at the old wooden table. The milk tea in the ceramic bowl in front of him was almost cold. He stared at the milk tea in concentration, shaking his head.  Xiao Siwen has never trusted him!  Saving Yang Gun's life was just for others to see, and it was just a show of gesture; perhaps, it was also a reason to appreciate his talent to some extent?  But Xiao Siwen doesn't want people like Yang Gun to re-enter the court and take real power!  At this time, his eyes lit up, and his wife came in from outside the tent again. She cleaned up the ceramic bowls on the table and asked, "Is Mr. Xiao going to have trouble with our family?" Yang Gun came to his senses, shook his head and said, "  What Mr. Xiao inherited was also a mess, and it was not easy for him. I can understand his intentions. No matter what, Mr. Xiao also saved my life. " Having said that, Yang Gun's face was still full of loss and helplessness.  He sighed, "It's better to die than live!" A few days later, Fan Zhongyi returned to Beijing.  Several people first discussed matters at Xiao Siwen's house, and Yang Gun was also invited.  There was no hope of being reinstated. Yang Gun thought of Yelu Xiezhen's words and suggested that he might as well sell his favor to Yelu Xiezhen. Sure enough, he persuaded Xiao Siwen at the scene.  Of course, it is of little use. Yang Gun has no real power. He can make suggestions, but he cannot decide anything.  ¡­The next day, on a hill in Daliao Shangjing City, a group of important officials from the imperial court discussed important matters in front of the Great Khan.  This hall looks very old. Several emperors have come to court here. The dirt in the corners that cannot be washed away may contain solidified blood stains!  Emperor Yelvxian is already eighteen years old, but his figure is still thin.He never seemed to be in good health.  However, Yelvxian was sitting on the big tiger-skin chair, his posture was much more casual than when he first ascended the throne. He held the scepter in his right hand, put his left elbow on the armrest of the chair, supported his head with his palms, and looked at the people below.  The minister's eyes were gentle and tolerant, and he looked like he was humbly accepting advice.  Xiao Siwen, who was standing closest to the throne, said: "Let Fan Zhongyi, the minister of the Beiyuan Prefecture, report the matter to Xu Guo first." Fan Zhongyi stood up, looking excited, but deliberately suppressed. After all, he was facing the supreme ruler of Liao Dynasty to report the matter.  !  He gave up the clasped fists as a salute, pressed his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to the person on the chair.  "Let's talk about Fan's affairs." Yelvxian's voice said.  The Great Khan actually spoke to him!  Fan Zhongyi's voice was a little trembling: "Yes, sweating profusely." Fan Zhongyi straightened up slightly and said in Khitan dialect with a bad accent: "Guo Shao, the puppet emperor of the Xu Kingdom, was poisoned by a strange poison that had no cure. He was incurable for several months.  During the visit, he fainted when he went to court, and his life was in danger. Guo Shao had two princes, both of whom were several years old. The queen was the daughter of Fu Yanqing, a wealthy family in Hebei. Although the Fu family was powerful, it was limited to Hebei.  , unable to restrain Tokyo. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains changed dynasties five times, and they all took advantage of the decline of the royal family to usurp the throne. Guo Shao, the puppet emperor of Xu, was also afraid of it and wanted to eliminate it.  The generals who supported the army were poisoned to death, the protector Luo Yanhuan was forced to commit suicide, and the Shouzhou garrison Guo Jin was killed by his subordinates. Nearly ten thousand people under the prime minister Fan Zhi were implicated, and countless people died!  After talking about the general situation, he took a breath and continued, "The bloodbath of purge is far from over. Yang Ye of Hedong, Gao Yancian of Wuzhou, and Liu Renzhan of Pingzhou are all generals from the southern countries who have surrendered. They hold heavy troops and will definitely be among the purges.  . Yang Ye and Zhe Deku are in-laws. These two are the main opponents after Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan. Zhe Deku's family members are in Tokyo. Most of their old troops are disbanded and scattered, and their Pingxia troops are all "guards".  At home, it was difficult to cause trouble and the threat was small. Therefore, Guo Shao wanted to frame Zhe De and then get rid of him! In late July, Guo Shao summoned Yang Ye and Zhe De to the capital at the same time.  Arrive in Tokyo first; Zhe Deku has not yet arrived, but due to lack of strength, the Xu court is not afraid of it. At that time, Zhe Deku sees the clues and informs Yang Ye that Tokyo has plotted a big trap!  Zhou Duan will be convicted of a serious crime, and then: he will put to death Luo Yanhuan, the protector of the country who has admitted to colluding with Zhou Duan; he will be implicated in framing Zhe De Kao, causing harm to Zhe De Kao's in-law Yang Ye. Yang Ye will be suspicious, and then find out that Zhou Duan is suddenly plotted.  Yang Ye made a decisive decision and suddenly abandoned the guards who were monitoring him. He rented a horse from the carriage house and fled.  The civil and military forces of the state were not ready yet, and they did not expect Yang Ye to discover the conspiracy so early. The Xu State court was caught off guard, and Yang Ye was able to escape back to Hedong. "Fan Zhongyi paused and said, "The conspiracy has happened at this point.  Unexpected. After Yang Ye returned to Hedong, he immediately summoned the officials of the former camp to supervise the military affairs on the grounds that the Liao army was harassing Hedong. Then he blocked the former camp and most of the officers and soldiers of the Hedong army surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty).  General, Yang Ye is a veteran of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a high reputation and prestige. He has the ability to destroy the military checks and balances of the Xu Kingdom and instigate orders to the tribes in Hedong. The situation has become very serious at this point. The Xu Kingdom certainly does not want Yang Ye to rebel, otherwise it will cause internal strife.  National strength will take more time. And the puppet emperor Guo Shao is in critical condition, and if time is delayed, he will be unable to deal with other threats. At the same time, the general who suppressed the rebellion will gain military power and go out, which may cause hidden dangers to the imperial court in Tokyo.  Immediately dispatched the Minister of Rites and the Assistant Minister of the Cabinet Lu Duoxun to quickly go to Daizhou, Hedong to negotiate peace with Yang Ye.  Yang Ye¡¯s attitude at this time should be very hesitant.  On the one hand, escaping and blocking the Qianying Military Mansion was a violation of the law and broke the law with the imperial court. If he compromised, he would probably be liquidated by the Queen of Autumn.  I am very worried and scared!  On the other hand, if he raises an army, his chances of winning are not good.  Although the Hedong Army was slightly inferior to the Imperial Army of the Xu State, it was still the most powerful force among the previous countries. However, with the destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Hedong Army would definitely be poor Once the counter-insurgency war breaks out, Yang Ye is worried about the internal conflict.  Soldiers will be bribed, persuaded to surrender, and unwilling to fight.  When Li Jun and more recently Guo Jin rebelled, they were all killed by their subordinates who wanted to take credit.  Yang Ye had to guard against it.  " Fan Zhongyi exhaled: "What we are most worried about now is that Yang Ye will reach a compromise with the court and Yang Ye will choose to sacrifice his life to save his family.  Previously, the generals Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan died, Guo Shao also did the same to leave some room.  " At this moment, a Khitan noble said loudly: "Fan Mansion didn't go to the east of Hedong to know so clearly?  Sounds like youIt seems like you saw those things with your own eyes, do you have any evidence?  " Fan Zhongyi turned around and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes. The whole thing is just a reasonable speculation.  But we also have a lot of solid evidence!  Only by such speculation can so many things make sense. If you do not agree with this theory, please speculate again in order to explain the major events that happened in Xu State.  "
