Xiao Sabi turned to Yelu Bawotai, who had been speechless, "Brother Yelu, I know that the two of us didn't have much friendship before, but I appreciate you.

As long as you obey the will of heaven and support me as emperor, I will keep you and your precious daughter safe, and promise you to be the lord of the southern court forever, how about it? ”

Yang Huairen smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out that Xiao Sabi could let him go, not because he was an envoy of the Song Dynasty, but because he was now the son-in-law of the king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Bawotai.

Xiao Sabi calculated very clearly in his heart, as soon as Yelu Hongji died, he would make Yelu Yanxi's image in the eyes of the ministers an incompetent person, with his current background and strength, almost no one could compete with him for the position of emperor.

Yelu and Lu Wei are only two years younger than Yelu Hongji, and his character and usual scandals have made him have no place in the hearts of the ministers, and the only one who has a little chance to compete with him is Yelu Bawotai, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

Speaking of which, Yelu Bawotai is also a member of the royal family, but it is just a side branch of the royal family.

But Yelu Bawotai is now the king of the Southern Courtyard, and Nanjing Dao is left behind, holding military power, if he can't use Xiao Sabi as the emperor, it will be a huge trouble for Xiao Sabi in the future.

So at this moment, he had already thought about winning over Yelu Bawotai, not to mention that in his impression, Yelu Bawotai was very sleek, and compared to Yelu and Lu Weilai, he was relatively indifferent to fame and fortune, and he didn't seem to have any pursuit of power.

As long as Xiao Sabi can say that Yelu Bawotai will give up resistance, then the rest of the Liao State will not be afraid, there are many forbidden troops who are truly loyal to Yelu Hongji, but after Yelu Hongji dies, how many of these forbidden troops will be loyal to an incompetent Yelu Yanxi?

They also have families, wives and children, even if they don't plan for themselves, they have to think about their relatives, resist Xiao Sabi, maybe they will get a good reputation, but their lives are gone, what's the use of having a reputation?

Xiao Sabi just saw that those forbidden soldiers would not insist on resisting to the end after receiving the news of Yelu Hongji's death, and he only needed a little temptation to say that they would remain neutral.

Then in the end, only Yelu Bawotai, who held 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Southern Courtyard, was left, Xiao Sabi was not afraid of him, but he didn't want to waste energy, financial and material resources to go to war with Yelu Bawotai.

Yelu Bawotai scolded, "Shameless dog thief! You poisoned Your Majesty, and did great rebellious things, everyone was punished for it, although I am not talented, but I know the gift of loyalty and filial piety, the way of benevolence and righteousness!

Let me be in the company of a dog thief like you, am I still human? Xiao Sabi, you save it, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it, if you want me to surrender on my knees, it is absolutely impossible! ”

Xiao Sabi was not in a hurry, "Yelu Bawotai, you have thought clearly, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to consider your baby daughter, and of course, your new son-in-law." ”

Yelu Bawotai sneered, "Xiao Sabi, you don't have to bluff, Yang Huairengui is the envoy of the Song Dynasty, if you hurt him, you are an enemy of the Song Dynasty."

Although the Song Dynasty is not as strong as my Da Liao military, if you don't want you to succeed to the throne smoothly, there are many ways, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it then, right?

If you kill me, there are still 200,000 soldiers and horses in the southern courtyard of Xijin Mansion who will not obey you, do you have the ability to kill them all? ”

Yelu Bawotai turned to the ministers, "You don't have to be afraid of him, he is a thief who steals the country, and he will not last long!" If he kills one person today, ten people in Daliao will stand up against him, and if he dares to kill a hundred, thousands of people will stand up against him! ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, so that the ministers who were already trembling with fear suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and they gradually calmed down, thought about Yelu Bawotai's words, and felt that it was very reasonable, Xiao Sabi killed the king is a senseless move, how to gain the support of the Liao State?

What he said was very cruel, saying that one did not accept and kill one, and ten did not accept and kill ten, until the rest of the people were served, but did he really dare to risk the condemnation of the world and kill all the courtiers?

Thinking about it like this, suddenly everyone was not so flustered, Yang Huairen admired Yelu Bawotai for his righteousness and fearlessness at this moment, but he suddenly faintly felt that the Yelu Bawotai at that moment just now was too different from him in peace.

The usual Yelu Bawotai seems to have a peaceful temperament, and he also looks like he is indisputable with the world, although he stands on the side of Yelu Yanxi, he gives people the impression that he just conforms to Yelu Hongji's holy will, and he does not look like a person who is greedy for power.

Perhaps in the eyes of the ministers of the Liao State, Yelu Bawotai's rapid ascension to the throne in recent years is because he is Yelu Hongji's cousin, and Yelu Hongji's handing over the Xijin Mansion to him is also an important way to better control the forces in the south of the Liao State.

Although this person has done a lot of bad things in the past few years, everyone still thinks that it is harmless, and since he served as the guard of Nanjing Dao, he has been mediocre and does not participate in the power struggle between the DPRK and China, but has become a good official who has no quarrel with the world.

What he said just now suddenly made people start to admire him, and in the face of the threat of death, Yelu Bawotai did not fear power, but said what everyone thought in their hearts, but did not dare to say it.

Yang Huairen was surprised, and felt more and more that things were strange, and he also felt more and more that Xiao Sabi might just be a fool who was pushed out to be strong, it seemed that he was in control of the situation, but in fact he had fallen into the trap of a smart person.

Although these were all speculations on Yang Huairen's part, and he hadn't figured out how the whole thing happened today by some kind of force, he trusted his instincts, at least for now, he should be on the side of Yelu Bawotai, which was the most beneficial for him and for the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiao Sabi saw that the ministers had the backbone of Yelu Bawotai, and knew that things were not as simple as he imagined, if Yelu Bawotai really wanted to fight him, he could only risk a big battle with the 200,000 troops of the Southern Courtyard, and he must get rid of the threat of Yelu Bawotai.

"It's really embarrassing," Xiao Sabi spat arrogantly and scolded viciously, "Yelu Bawotai, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, it's you who want to die, and I will fulfill you today!" ”

Xiao Sabi was going to kill chickens and monkeys, and when everyone saw that Xiao Sabi really dared to kill an important minister of the court, they were so frightened that they retracted their necks.

Only Yang Huairen was not in a hurry, he intuitively felt that Yelu Bawotai had already made full preparations, and in the face of Xiao Sabi's threat, he would definitely not be restrained.

It's just that Yang Huairen is very curious in his heart, what kind of method does he want to use, not only to save his own life, but also to strike a counterattack on Xiao Sabi?
