Bingzi (15th) of the eighth month of the first year of Da'an in Daliao.

On the grassland outside Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty was in the palace tent to welcome this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

The entire grassland is full of people singing and dancing.

Khitan, Xi people, Bohai people and Han people all joined in the singing and dancing.

In Yelu Hongji's imperial tent, the ministers celebrated their birthdays and drank wine. The ceremonies and procedures were almost completely copied from those of the Tang Dynasty.

Even like the Tang Dynasty, there were envoys from Zubu, Heihan and other vassals dancing in the emperor's tent to congratulate him.

All he needed was a Turkic Khan to give Yelu Hongji the title of "Heavenly Khan".

In such a festive atmosphere, Yelu Hongji was inevitably in high spirits and a little drunk.

So, he could only lean on the throne, half-squinting his eyes, and look into the tent.

Slightly drunk, Yelu Hongji almost had the illusion that he was in the Tang Palace in Chang'an or Luoyang at this moment.

At this time, Han Xianrang, the most trusted minister around Yelu Hongji, came to Yelu Hongji and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Yelu Hongji sobered up from the wine.

He sat up straight, looked at Han Xianrang and asked, "Did the new king of the Southern Dynasty give a gift to his grandson?"

"Bring it quickly, I want to enjoy it with all my colleagues!"

Therefore, Han Xianrang ordered someone to bring the gifts that Yeluju and others had sent back to Beijing to the imperial court in the tent.

But it is a box locked with a jade box.

Yelu Hongji looked at the box and waved to his grandson: "Yanxi, come to my grandfather..."

Yelu Yanxi came to the king under the leadership of her wet nurse.

Yelu Hongji put his grandson on his knees, and then they opened the jade box together.

Inside is a thin booklet.

Yelu Hongji looked at Han Xianrang, who immediately explained: "Your Majesty, these are the notes of the Sutra Banquet written by the Master of the South..."

"The Lord of the South said: I have heard for a long time that the king of the Liang Dynasty in the Liao Dynasty was Congjun and Renzong, and I am willing to follow the story of Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty and Renzong of the Southern Dynasty, and support each other for a long time as brothers... Therefore, I give the banquet note to the king of Liang to continue the relationship between Xingzong of the Liao Dynasty and Renzong of the Southern Dynasty.

The friendship between Renzong in the Southern Dynasties..."

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he was a little unhappy at first, but soon he started laughing.

"I accept the wishes of the Young Master of the Southern Dynasty!"

Then he looked at Yelu Yanxi who still didn't understand what was going on: "Yanxi, you can't live up to your brother Ru's kindness!"

He took out the pamphlet, handed it to Yelu Yanxi solemnly, and warned: "As the saying goes, as there are comings and goings, so are the friendships between gentlemen...Yanxii should also study hard and give back with notes in the future...

…”

The officials of the Liao Kingdom in the emperor's tent, especially the Han officials, all reacted at this time and congratulated collectively: "My great-grandson's reputation of being wise, benevolent, and filial has spread far and wide to the Southern Dynasties. Now the Southern Dynasty has given me the notes of the Sutra Banquet..."

This shows that the great grandson is smart and handsome, and his reputation for benevolence and filial piety is widely spread!"

"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty...congratulate the ancestral temple and the country!"

The Emperor of Daliao is now such an only grandson.

Of course, the Han officials in the Liao Kingdom collectively supported this great grandson.

But the Khitan nobles in the North Courtyard were dissatisfied and uneasy.

It can even be said that it is ready to move!

Now, the young master of the Southern Dynasty sent the notes of the sutra feast to the great grandson.

what does that mean?

At least in the eyes of the Han people, this means that the Southern Dynasty has expressed its position that we only recognize the grandson of Daliao as the only legitimate successor of Daliao.

This is called holding Song’s self-importance!

The best thing is - although the young master of the Southern Dynasty was only a little older than his great-grandson, according to legend, he was the wisest and wisest king, and was more intelligent, handsome, benevolent and filial than the Han Ming master.

Now, the young master of the Southern Dynasty presented the scriptures and banquet notes to the grandson of Daliao.

Isn't it a different kind of recognition that Taisun Daliao is on the same level as him?

Take the deeds of the young master of the Southern Dynasty and package it up, wouldn't it be the story of the great grandson of Daliao?

It's enough to fool the people in Xiazhou.

Yelu Hongji listened to the congratulations of the ministers, reached out and gently touched Yelu Yanxi's head: "Yanxi, you must not let down your grandfather's expectations!"

For Yelu Hongji, there is nothing more important now than letting Yelu Yanxi successfully take over and ascend the throne.

In his eyes, this move of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was helping Daliao stabilize the government and the public.

This even made the Emperor of Daliao happier than his income of 3 million yuan that year!

Yelu Yanxi didn’t quite understand what happened?

But he looked at the notes in his hand, listened to his grandfather's words, and felt the eyes of the officials looking at him.

Inexplicably, the young King of Daliao Liang shuddered.

He could only say weakly: "Grandfather, Sun Chen must study hard..."

"Huh?" Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to muster up the courage and said loudly: "Sun Chen must study hard and not lose to that Southern Emperor!"

Yelu Hongji then smiled with satisfaction: "It's great that King Liang has this ambition! It's great!"

The ministers then paid their respects and congratulated him again.

But many of the nobles in the North Courtyard lowered their heads at this time, their brows furrowed.

The stability of Yelu Yanxi's position is not good news for them.

It should be noted that when the Grand Master of the Liao Dynasty and the King of Wei came to power, he framed the death of Queen Xiao Guanyin and poisoned the Crown Prince Yelu Jun.

If King Liang successfully ascends the throne and takes power, how can he not avenge his grandmother and father?

King Wei is dead now.

But back then, everyone had obeyed the orders of King Wei and received benefits.

Will King Liang let them go?

No one knows, but no one would dare to bet.

Yelu Hongji was naturally keenly aware of the atmosphere among the nobles in the North Courtyard.

He quietly whispered to Han Xianrang.

Han Xianrang nodded, and after going to the emperor's tent, he summoned Xiao Wotelan, the concubine of the Emperor of Liao Dynasty and the biological sister of the current queen, Xiao Tansi.

Wote was too lazy to enter the emperor's tent and sat next to Yelu Hongji. Then he waved to Yelu Yanxi: "Prince Liang, come to me..."

Yelu Yanxi obediently walked to Xiao Wotelan's side and sat down, just like mother and son.

When the nobles of the North Courtyard saw this scene, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of peace of mind.

Because, Xiao Wotelan is not just the queen's biological sister.

She was also the princess of Yelvsui, the eldest son of King Wei.

After the King of Wei was killed by the rebels, Yelu Yanxi was brought into the harem, and an edict was issued for Xiao Tansi and Xiao Wetelan to raise Yelu Yanxi together.

This is a reassurance for the nobles of the North Courtyard.

However, it didn't take long after Xiao Wote sat down lazily.

There were waves of exclamations coming from outside the tent: "The Tengu is eating the moon!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Hongji immediately stood up and led his officials to the outside of the tent.

Just looking at the blue sky, the full moon was gradually swallowed by something unknown.

The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom fell into silence watching all this.

On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I encountered the Tengu eclipsing the moon.

A very bad omen!

…

Xingqing Mansion.

Bingchang raised his head and looked at the moon that had been completely swallowed up by the Tengu, with only a crescent left.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"Tengu eclipses the moon...Tengu eclipses the moon...Good! Good!"

This was a sign of great misfortune, and it happened that the condition of his mother, the Queen Mother of Daxia, was deteriorating.

This means that God is telling him that he is finally coming through!
