Emperor Yelvxian of the Liao Dynasty came from Shangjing.

Accompanying him was Yelu Hongzhen, the former most powerful military commander in Daliao.

Yelu Hongzhen is already very old and has not been on the board of directors for nearly twenty years, but this does not mean that his influence has been reduced.

Whether in the royal family, the army, or among nobles and senators,

His influence is still extremely powerful.

As long as he doesn't die, no one will dare to ignore his existence.

But even so, no one thought that they would definitely win the final victory in this battle with the Queen Mother.

Over the past ten years, Empress Dowager Chengtian has penetrated her influence into all aspects of Daliao, and her prestige is unparalleled.

Even if Yelu Longxu Yelu Bianji and others now have military power,

Even the powerful officials like Yelu Huan and Yelu Sheng closed their mouths and prepared to watch from the sidelines.

Even if Yeluzhen is dead,

Even if Yeluhong really dragged his body that was about to enter the coffin and took his last breath to Xijin Mansion,

In the eyes of many people, the difference is evenly divided at best.

Not to mention anything else, just the 10,000 Shan army led by Sun Pu currently stationed in Xijin Mansion is enough to frighten everyone.

Not to mention, there were 5,000 heavy cavalry led by Guo Xie stationed in Zhongjing.

Murong Chong is the craftsman camp under the supervision of brother Murong Chong.

Don’t think that the word “craftsman” in the craftsman camp means you are looking down upon them.

In Daliao, the craftsman camp had always been under military control. All craftsmen and their relatives were organized into military households. They were both craftsmen and soldiers, and their chief generals were brothers Murong Chong and Murong Chao.

Artillery and gunpowder were produced by them.

These two things have always been forbidden to the Queen Mother, and outsiders cannot get their hands on them at all.

The wind is still strong, the snow on the ground has already covered my ankles, and long ridges of ice have hung down from under the eaves.

The atmosphere in Xijin Mansion is a bit more solemn than the cold weather.

Everyone knew that Emperor Yelvxian had arrived outside the Xijin Mansion and was preparing to go up the mountain to meet the Queen Mother. However, no one among the officials of the Xijin Mansion dared to go out of the city to see the emperor at this time.

The emperor stationed at the foot of the mountain all night, and all the lights in the government offices in Xijin City were lit all night, but no official dared to leave the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city, without receiving any instructions from their superiors, could only cautiously close the city gate at the right time.

This was tantamount to locking their emperor outside the city.

What made everyone in the Xijin Mansion breathe a sigh of relief was that the emperor seemed to have forgotten them and did not send anyone to summon them, which allowed them to avoid the crime of disobedience.

At this point, the emperor was also extremely smart.

It gave both parties a very respectable step to climb.

It won't be too awkward if we meet in the future.

Wise people will all choose to forget what happened today.

Then everyone will still be a wise king and a wise minister.

If we really break this piece of paper, how can we get along with each other in the future?

There will be knots in my heart.

The emperor went up the mountain.

Yelu Hongzhen also went up the mountain.

The emperor is alone.

Yelu Hongzhen only had eight bearers carrying the warm sedan chair.

The emperor and Yeluhong really didn't look like they were going to bargain with the Queen Mother, but rather they seemed to be asking for forgiveness.

This actually made everyone in the Xijin Mansion breathe a sigh of relief.

When the emperor is angry, he lays down millions of corpses and bleeds. This is really not a joke.

The Queen Mother has never been a soft-hearted person,

Over the years, hundreds of tribes and families perished at her hands, as well as tens of thousands of people.

The behavior of Yelu Longxu and others had obviously violated the Queen Mother's taboo.

When Xiao Ruoshui escaped back to Xijin Mansion alone, everyone here thought that a civil war was about to break out.

In addition to the huge defeat at the front, if civil war breaks out, Daliao may only have a short time to live. Many people here in Xijin Mansion have already begun to contact the Song people.

Nanjing Road was originally the most prosperous economy of the Liao Dynasty and the place with the largest number of Han families. Of course, it was also the place most closely connected with the Song Dynasty.

Whose house is opposite and doesn’t have any small activities?

However, when the emperor showed such an attitude, everyone felt that the civil war seemed impossible to fight.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

As long as the emperor comes down from the mountain safely, the danger will naturally be eliminated.

No one wants a repeat of what happened many years ago.

In that fight between the Queen Mother and Lin Ping, too many people died.

Yelvxian stood outside the wooden house,

He saw Sun Chun standing outside the door, looking like he was waiting for him.

Before Sun Chun could say anything, Yelvxian had already lifted up his robe and knelt down in the snow without making a sound.

This move actually stunned Sun Chun, who was stepping forward to greet the Holy Driver. He blinked his eyes for a while before he realized what he was doing. He quickly took a few steps sideways to avoid the front, and then he crossed his arms and raised eyebrows.

He bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Lan

"Please ask Sun Shilang to report back to your mother, and say that I have come to apologize!" Yelvxian looked at Sun Chun, and after saying this, he knelt down, folded his hands, and placed them on the snow.

The forehead touches the ground.

Sun Chun was at a loss. Even though he was resourceful, he never expected to face such a scene.

He could only turn around, hold up his robe with one hand, and run inside quickly.

Xiao Chuo was reading a brochure,

It was brought back to him by Sun Chun. It is said that it was some content of the "Tiangong Kaiwu" that was being compiled by the Academy of Sciences in the Song Dynasty.

Different from the earlier agricultural books that were publicly printed and distributed throughout the country, this Tiangong Kaiwu was much more mysterious. Sun Chun tried his best to find only a few that were said to have been obtained from the Academy of Sciences.

The remaining manuscript that came out.

After hearing Sun Chun's reply, Xiao Chuo laughed, put away the book, and said: "The emperor has been a smart boy since he was a child. Let's go and greet him." Lan

"Queen Mother, are you planning to go to Ruoyu Hall?" Sun Chun asked.

"No, go to Shouzhuotang!" Xiao Chuo smiled and said: "The emperor thought he would face a difficult negotiation today, so let's give him a big surprise!"

Sun Chun sneered and said: "The Queen Mother's foresight is beyond their imagination. Queen Mother, what I want to see most now is the disbelieving but ecstatic expression on their faces after talking to you.

I also want to see how they can sort out their current predicament without the Queen Mother's magical needle of Ninghai. I also want to see how they will be when the Song army crosses the Yellow River, crosses Guiyi City, and fights all the way.

What a look!"

"They were as confident as I was back then, and they all believed that they were absolutely capable of turning the tide and defeating the most powerful opponent. But the facts proved that I was wrong." Xiao Chuo said.

"Your Majesty, maybe a few years later, when they are slaughtered by the Song army and are running away, they will come to you again and want to take shelter under your wings!"

"It may be possible for others, but not the emperor!" Xiao Chuo said as he walked out: "The emperor is as confident and proud as his father. One day, he would rather die than beg for my mercy.

of!"

Stepping out of the door, Yelvxian, who was still kneeling on the ground, was covered with a layer of white snow.

"Emperor, what are you doing? Get up!" Xiao Chuo stood under the umbrella cover and said calmly.

"Mother, my sons and ministers have come to plead guilty!" Yelu Xian straightened up, and the snow rustled down.

"What is the emperor's crime? If it is true that he is guilty, it is also me!" Xiao Chuo said: "I insisted on the Southern Expedition. It was also my intention to appoint Yeluzhen as the commander. I personally participated in and agreed to all strategies.

Yes, the emperor was not involved."

"Since I am the emperor of Daliao, I should shoulder this responsibility." Yelvxian insisted loudly.

Xiao Chuo was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Is this why the emperor came today?"

"Besides this matter, I also want to pay my respects to my mother. Since the beginning of the Southern Expedition, I haven't seen my mother for more than a year. I miss her very much!"

Xiao Chuo smiled and looked up at the big warm sedan behind him: "Did the prince miss me too, so he came with the emperor?" Lan

The curtain of the warm sedan was half opened by a skinny hand, revealing a face that was not much different from a skeleton. Yelu Hongzhen smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still the same as before, but I am

I only have my last breath left, and before I close my eyes, I want to see you again, talk to you, and talk about the future of Daliao. The Queen Mother will not refuse the request of a dying person, right?"

"The prince is blaming me for not visiting you all this time." Xiao Chuo said.

"I don't dare. The Queen Mother has many things to do. I am just an idler who is about to die. Moreover, during the holidays, the Queen Mother's gifts are not cut off. My children and grandchildren are all in high positions. How can I dare to complain? Seriously.

Because people are about to die, they are very nostalgic for the past, and they are also very worried about what will happen after their death. The younger generation are not reliable in their work, so I want to come and see the Queen Mother!"

"Okay, since we're here, let's have a good chat. Just in time, I also want to talk to you about something!" Xiao Chuo turned around and walked inside.

Inside Shouzhuo Hall.

The earth dragon was burned extremely warm, and the room was as warm as spring. Four or five steps away, thick soft cushions were spread on the ground. Xiao Chuo didn't say much when he stepped into the room and sat on the left side.

Yelvxian was a little dazed again, and it wasn't until Xiao Chuo pointed to the opposite side of him that he realized what he was doing.

Xiao Chuo has always been at the top,

But today, Xiao Chuo actually asked him to be on an equal footing with him.

After hesitating for a moment, Yelvxian still sat down cross-legged. Four guards came in carrying Yelu Hongzhen and placed him behind Yelvxian.

Sun Chun, on the other hand, knelt and sat behind Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo stared at Yelvxian intently.

Yelvxian's body was trembling slightly. It wasn't until a skinny hand was placed on his back that he managed to calm down, took a deep breath, and faced Xiao Chuo bravely.

"I really didn't expect that such a day would come." Xiao Chuo sighed softly. "Emperor, do you know? You came in person, and you are still very respectful to me. I am very happy. It's just that you brought the prince, but you

This palace is not very happy." Lan

"The Queen Mother can treat me as a dead person!"

Xiao Chuo ignored Yelu Hongzhen and continued: "It's yours, and it will always be yours after all. But Emperor, when I want to give you some things, I will naturally give them to you. When I don't want to give them to you, you can't."
