Chapter 1128: The Truth About Poisoning (9)
For Yang Huairen, he really doesn't look down on the general benefits, he already has millions of dollars, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger, if Yelu Hongji just promised him some gold and silver treasures, it is impossible to impress him at all.
The general of the guard asked with a gloomy face, "I wonder what benefits the colt wants?" ”
Yang Huairen smiled slyly, "Well, I said it myself, it's not very good?" ”
"You say yes, as long as it's not too much, Your Majesty will promise you."
Yang Huairen squinted at the tall and mighty General Su Wei, and said in his heart, When did you become Yelu Hongji's spokesperson?
What's not too much? You asked me to make a request, am I an honest, kind and righteous person, don't ask too much, am I embarrassed to ask for it?
Besides, it's not too much, it's not up to you to have the final say? In my heart I want a hundred and eighty ...... Ten thousand taels of silver is not too much, maybe in your hearts it is too much to ask for ten thousand taels?
And money is secondary, is there anyone in the world who dares to be as bad as his brother?
Seeing Yang Huairen looking at him with a slanted gaze, his expression was smiling and he didn't know what he was pondering, General Su Wei felt a little hairy in his heart, and he asked impatiently, "You said, what benefits do you want, such as how much money do you want?!" ”
"This general, you're really joking."
Yang Huairen said righteously, "In your eyes, am I such a greedy person? Your Majesty...... How much are you prepared to give? ”
"You...... Alas......"
General Su Wei shook his head, Yelu Hongji was not very surprised, he understood his situation, and also understood the situation of his grandson Yelu Yanxi, in this case, he had no other choice, no matter what price Yang Huairen offered, he would satisfy him.
The huge crisis is in front of Yelu Hongji, and someone poisoned him, which is the prelude to rebellion and usurpation of power, so why doesn't he worry about his death?
What about his grandson Yelu Yanxi? Although he has helped Yelu Yanxi cultivate a lot of forces in the past few years, it is really impossible to say that these forces are stable enough.
He attracted a lot of people to stand by Yelu Yanxi's side, which is true, but most of these people were relieved to assist Yelu Yanxi because of Yelu Hongji's power as the emperor.
In case of a major change in the political situation of the Liao State, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not abandon Yelu Yanxi and find another high branch, are there still few people in this world who see the wind and rudder?
It would be foolish to expect them to swear allegiance to Yelu Yanxi. Even if he wants to support Gu, there is no suitable person at the moment.
His younger brothers, Yelu and Ruyu? He couldn't believe it, especially in the current situation.
Now King Liang controls half of the forbidden army, but the generals and colonels in the army are all raised by Yelu Hongji himself, Yelu Hongji is in power, even if he has the courage to rebel, those generals will not follow.
But if Yelu Hongji is gone, loyalty to Yelu and Lu Wei may be their only choice compared to Yelu Yanxi, who has no feelings.
What's more, Yelu Hongji's poisoning this time is too weird, and even he is not sure whether Yelu and Lu Wei are doing something from it.
Jeruvarwotai?
Maybe he is currently the most trusted person in Yelu Hongji, but Yelu Bawotai's forces are all in the area of Xijin Mansion, and he may not be ranked in the top five in terms of the forces of Zhongjing Mansion, even if he can bring the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Province to Zhongjing, it is estimated that it will be half a month later.
Time is precious at this time, when the situation in the struggle for power changes rapidly, and perhaps decisive events can decide the whole situation in a day, or even an hour.
Not to mention what will happen in half a month, Yelu Hongji doesn't even know how long he can live, so the far water in Yelu Bawotai can't solve the near fire in front of him.
How many old ministers in the court? There is no ability to control the situation, an old courtier like Shi Xiaozhong has the ability, but it is a pity that the real high-ranking people in the Khitan court are all controlled by Khitan nobles.
For example, Shi Xiaozhong's Ministry of Rites, Shangshu is held by a Khitan nobleman, although this Khitan nobleman is not in charge of things at all, and it is Shi Shilang who actually exercises the authority of the Ministry of Rites.
Shi Shilang has connections, but he has no military power, it is useless to find him to be alone, the emperor of the Khitan people, it is impossible to listen to the words of a Han courtier, and Shi Shilang himself has always been clean and self-conscious, and he has not participated in this struggle for power.
Therefore, looking for Yang Huairen, a Song man, first unraveled the truth of the poisoning, found out the main messenger behind the poisoning, and first eliminated the biggest threat, so as to ensure that the Khitan throne would not fall into the hands of others.
"You...... Want...... Miscellaneous...... What...... I...... All...... Answer...... Ying, "This time it was Yelu Hongji who spoke in person, and this time he didn't jump words, but said all the words, but because of his poor breath, it was extremely difficult to speak, and it was intermittent.
"No...... Pass...... Precondition...... You...... Persuade...... Song dynasty...... Coming forward...... In the tank...... Yanxi ...... Succession ......"
Yang Huairen said, "Let me summarize what Your Majesty means, is it that as long as I help Your Majesty find out who is behind the poisoning of Your Majesty this time, and then I can guarantee that the Great Song Dynasty will come forward to support Yelu Yanxi to inherit the throne of the Liao State in the future, Your Majesty is willing to agree to any conditions for me?" ”
Yeluhonki blinked.
Yang Huairen felt that his whole body was excited, in such a situation, even if he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, Yelu Hongji had to agree to him, so he said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly don't want money. I want, the Sixteen States of Youyun ......"
Yelu Hongji almost jumped up from the bed immediately, and the general of the guard glared at him and scolded angrily, "Yang Huairen, are you crazy, you really dare to say anything, aren't you afraid to flash your tongue?!" ”
Yang Huairen also knew that it was a fool's dream to let Yelu Hongji give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, don't worry, let me finish my words."
What I'm saying is, I want, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun...... in the land of two states. ”
General Su Wei scolded, "You madman, Your Majesty will not give it to you!" ”
Yang Huairen ignored him, but looked into Yelu Hongji's eyes and said seriously, "Your Majesty, please listen clearly, what I said is that I want, not that Your Majesty will cede the two states to the Song Dynasty, I don't know if Your Majesty understands." ”
Yelu Hongji's eyes immediately lit up, and his eyes were staring at Yang Huairen's eyes and refused to leave.
Yelu Hongji was extremely surprised in his heart, surprised by Yang Huairen's calculations, and surprised that he could come up with such a way at this moment, let him accept this condition, and would not be ridiculed by other Khitans for his cowardice.
Yelu Hongji really stared at it for a long time, Yang Huairen's face was resolute and confident, but he was also beating the drum in his heart, and he couldn't be sure whether his sudden idea would be accepted by Yelu Hongji.
Suddenly, Yeluhonki closed his eyes, and then he opened them again, and blinked......
