At this time, a nobleman suddenly thought of something, and said in confusion, "It's just that the king of the Southern Courtyard is just a cousin of His Majesty's clan, and ...... Under the knees of the king of the southern courtyard, there are no heirs yet. ”

Master Shi retorted, "What about cousin? The blood of the Great Liao Imperial Family is also flowing in the body of the king of the Southern Courtyard. ”

Because Shi Xiaozhong knew that this suspicious person was a close confidant of Yelu and Lu Wei, so he turned his head and glanced at Yelu and Lu Wei, "It's true that the king of the Southern Courtyard doesn't have a son at the moment, but the king of the Southern Courtyard is in the prime of life, and he is in the prime of life, is it difficult to have a few sons?" ”

Shi Xiaozhong's performance surprised some courtiers, he usually has a gentle personality and has no quarrel with the world, unlike a person who speaks so harshly and will refute others for his own opinions.

Everyone guessed in their hearts that maybe Master Shi was old and experienced life and death to become so stubborn.

Thinking about the advantages of Yelu Bawotai in his words, everyone also recognized it in their hearts, maybe Yelu Bawotai is a mediocre person in the eyes of everyone, but after what happened just now, they found that this kind of person who usually looks very mediocre, and can stand up and become the backbone of everyone at a critical moment is the person who is really suitable to become the emperor of Liao.

Comparing Yelu Yanxi and Yelu and Lu Wei, this point is even more obvious, usually these two people are very beautiful, but when it comes to the critical moment, they have become waste wood.

Thinking about it this way, everyone nodded one after another, almost acquiescing to Shi Xiaozhong's view of supporting Yelu Bawotai as the new Khitan emperor.

There is another point that everyone has to consider, is it possible that Shi Xiaozhong is competing for the merit of support?

Although Shi Xiaozhong is old, his mental state is very good, his eyes are not dazzling or deaf, and he handles political affairs in a clear manner.

What are these Han Chinese officials for? Some people are for profit, and some people are famous.

Shi Xiaozhong lives a frugal life and does not pursue material enjoyment very much, so he is for fame, Shi Xiaozhong, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, this name is not only himself, his whole family, and even his children and grandchildren feel the brilliance on his face.

With such an opportunity to go down in history, how could he miss it?

In this case, everyone has gradually figured it out, there is indeed no more suitable person to inherit the throne now, rather than hesitating, it is better to conform to the will of heaven and fight for this support.

So everyone leaned on their mouths and said, "What Master Shi said is reasonable, and we are also willing to support the king of the Southern Courtyard to become the new lord of the Liao Kingdom." ”

The officials were unified, and although those Khitan nobles didn't think about it so much, they also knew in their hearts that the situation was like this, and they would only bring unnecessary trouble to themselves if they stood up and spoke against it.

They looked at the blood that had not been cleaned up on the grass, and they were still so shocked, thinking that the wolf army of Yelu Bawotai was in the camp, who would dare to say a word?

Most of the Khitan nobles also stood up and said, "Yelu Bawotai was originally a member of the royal family, and His Majesty also trusted him very much during his lifetime and reused him, otherwise he would not have become the king of the Southern Courtyard."

What we Khitans value is also a person's ability, and since Yelu Bawotai has just proved his ability, and the courtiers have all supported him to become the lord of Liao, we have no intention of objecting. ”

There are also a small number of Khitan nobles who did not stand up to speak, because most of them were related to Xiao Sabi or in-laws, and when Xiao Sabi rebelled just now, they were also the first people to kneel on the ground to support them.

Now the wind suddenly changed direction, and they didn't expect it. They are inevitably a little worried in their hearts, Xiao Sabi rebelled, although they did not actually participate, but they have some intimate ties with Xiao Sabi, if they support Yelu Bawotai now, then after he succeeds to the throne in the future, will they settle accounts with them?

Shi Xiaozhong is an understanding person, and when he saw those who had not yet stood up, he guessed what they were thinking.

"You don't have to worry, the king of the Southern Courtyard is kind-hearted and magnanimous, and you didn't really participate in Xiao Sabi's rebellion, not to mention that everyone didn't think clearly and did something unspeakable in a panic, and it is not unforgivable.

The old man believes that as long as you are loyal to the emperor of Liao in the future and do more beneficial things for the country and the people, the king of the Southern Courtyard will definitely open up and will not trouble you. ”

The men immediately looked at Jeruvarwotai as if begging for mercy.

Yelu Bawotai coughed lightly, "Xiao Sabi and his rebel henchmen, this king will definitely not let go, but you don't belong to this kind of people, and what you do is just a survival instinct, so this king will not care about you."

However, as Master Shi said, in the future, you must do more things to benefit the country and the people to prove your innocence. ”

As soon as these people heard that Yelu Bawotai did not plan to settle accounts with them, they hurriedly thanked them and also stood up to express their approval of Yelu Bawotai's succession.

At this time, Yelu Bawotai said to everyone, "This king has no virtue and no talent, and he is shy in the position of the king of the Southern Courtyard, and he already feels powerless, so the matter of electing this king to succeed to the throne as the emperor is also invited to discuss it again." ”

Yang Huairen could only shake his head and sigh secretly at this time, "The actor, the actor!" ”

Shi Xiaozhong looked resolute, "Why did the king of the Southern Courtyard refuse?" If you can't take on this great responsibility, I'm afraid that there will be no second person in the Liao Kingdom who can take on this responsibility. ”

Yelu Bawotai excused himself again, "The stakes are so important that this king does not dare to agree, and I hope that you will choose another meritorious." ”

Shi Xiaozhong saw that he was still pushing, which proved that Yelu Bawotai was not a person who coveted power, and he was even more determined to support him.

He suddenly knelt down in front of Yelu Bawotai, and said with a crying voice, "The king should not worry too much, and he should also focus on the rivers and mountains of Daliao!"

If the king refuses to inherit the unification, the Liao country is in danger! Please obey the will of heaven! ”

When everyone saw that Shi Xiaozhong knelt down, they also knelt down, and Yelu Bawotai hurried to help everyone, but no one was really pulled up.

Yelu Bawotai had a bitter face, "Everyone, why are you suffering? ”

After saying that, I don't know what happened, and the soldiers of the Wolf Army, who were originally standing in the distance, suddenly knelt down and shouted in unison, "Please obey the will of heaven!" ”

Tens of thousands of people shouted loudly, and the scene was very shocking, as if the entire camp trembled.

"Alas......"

Only then did Yelu Bawotai sigh and said in embarrassment, "In that case, this king has promised you for the time being, please get up quickly!" ”
