Chapter 1088: The Storm is Coming (Part II)

Sister Ghost reacted quickly this time and immediately asked, "What do you mean...... Xiao Sabi thought of a way to get him power faster? ”

"Well," the corners of Yang Huairen's mouth rose slightly, "Although I'm just guessing, judging from Xiao Sabi's performance, he can congratulate me, that is, he has given in to Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi, do you think he is a person who is willing to admit defeat so easily?"

That's not his character at all, is it? So unless he has a better plan, he won't lose and be so calm. ”

Sister Ghost said to herself, "The simplest and rude way to say this to you is to ...... Riot seizure of power?! If this is the case, then the difference in strength may not really be so important, and the most critical thing is that it is the most appropriate time. ”

"This time is far away, close at hand." Yang Huairen said lightly.

"You mean, like our wedding?"

Seeing that Sister Ghost opened her mouth wide in surprise, Yang Huairen smiled, "Yes, it is this day that is a good time for Xiao Sabi."

Usually, Yelu Hongji is in the palace, and the Su Guards are heavily guarded, and trying to assassinate Yelu Hongji is tantamount to a fool's dream.

But ten days later, on the Bowl Festival, Yelu Hongji would leave the palace to celebrate this traditional festival of the Khitan people on the grasslands of the western suburbs, and the number of Su guards who accompanied him was limited, which gave an excellent opportunity for assassination.

And even if Xiao Sabi wants to kill the Khitan Emperor, there are many ways to do it on the grassland outside the city, and he doesn't necessarily have to meet each other. If he was smart enough, he could have devised an accident that would have killed Yeluhongki.

Then take this opportunity to kill Yelu Yanxi, so that Yelu Hongji and his line will have no orthodox heir to the throne.

In this case, the Khitan people will definitely not choose another merit from the imperial family to inherit the throne like our Han people, but according to the tradition of the Khitan people, whoever is stronger can sit on the throne legitimately.

At this time, as long as Xiao Sabi controlled the important officials and nobles of the court who accompanied the old Khitan emperor out of the city for the festival, he would have an absolute advantage in such a competition.

At that time, as long as he quickly controls the situation, those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die, and it will be natural for him to establish himself as emperor. By the time other forces that coveted the throne wanted to exert their power, they had already gone in general fashion. ”

Sister Ghost listened, but from the initial surprise to not panicked at all, "I understand what you mean." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Huairen smiled, "Can you really understand? ”

Sister Ghost nodded very firmly, "If it had been placed in the past, I would have felt that no matter whether Yelu Hongji or any other Khitan was in power, there would be no difference between us poor Han people."

Those who should be bullied will still be bullied, and those who should be oppressed will still be oppressed, as long as the Khitans rule, there will be no fundamental difference in the general situation.

But I remembered what you had told me before, and I understood what you were thinking. There is an essential difference between Yelu Hongji and Xiao Sabi.

This is not to say that the two of them are in personal ability, or which of them is a better emperor, but that if Yelu Hongji reigns, for the Khitans, the country and society will always be stable.

And if it is replaced by Xiao Sabi, or someone else, this stability will be broken, needless to say that those other tribes will have their own plans, and even the Khitan people will look like they are separated.

Because the new successor will not let go of the bloodline of Yelu Yanxi, the only orthodox royal family, no matter what, that is to say, their throne is not legitimately inherited after all.

People's selfishness will be even more inflated at this time, so Xiao Sabi's rule will never go well, and there will be different internal and external people who will stand up against him.

In this way, the Liao State will inevitably be in chaos, and the Liao State will be in turmoil, which will give the Great Song Dynasty a chance, and we Han people can also take this opportunity to send troops to recover the land of Yanyun. ”

Yang Huairen said, "That's right, you're smarter than before, because you can see the essence of things more and more." ”

Sister Ghost said coldly, "Do you still need to say it?" I was so smart that you didn't notice it. ”

"Ahem," Yang Huairen coughed a few times before he said disdainfully, "I said that what you said was good, but I didn't say that what you said was all right." Because all of this is still in our guessing stage.

Don't underestimate Xiao Sabi, and you can't ignore others. If Xiao Sabi usurps power according to our guesses, he will definitely use more high-pressure rule to defend his hard-won power.

Chaos is certain, but it does not necessarily mean that the world will be in chaos immediately. Perhaps the other Khitans would be intimidated by Xiao Sabi's violent rule and would not immediately stand up against him.

But as long as there is such dissatisfaction, it will accumulate more and more, and when the dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, it will bend or even break the pillar of support for the Khitan people to rule the Liao State.

This doesn't happen right away, maybe a year, maybe ten years, it's definitely a long process.

You said that the Great Song Dynasty can take the opportunity to send troops to recover Yanyun, I think it seems a little difficult now, first, the military strength of the Liao State is still there, second, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does not necessarily have such courage, and third, even if the Great Song Emperor dares to do this, he may not have enough strength to successfully recover the land.

It's complicated, and I don't want to argue with you. ”

Yang Huairen actually thinks the same as Sister Ghost, if it is him, he also wants to take a risk and take advantage of the chaos of the transfer of power in Liao to send troops to recover Yanyun, but when he really thinks about the details, he feels more and more unrealistic, and it is difficult to turn the plan into reality.

Just those bigwigs in the Great Song Dynasty don't seem to agree to do this, they are used to comfort, and they are no longer willing to take risks, so they say that this time Zhao Xu insisted on going to war with Western Xia, I don't know how many times he experienced court disputes, and finally it was at the insistence of him and Zhang Dian that he put his ideas into practical action.

If the Great Song Dynasty had just finished fighting with the Western Xia, and then turned around and started a war with the Liao State, the impact on the Great Song Dynasty would also be very great, and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty would not be able to support two consecutive wars.

Therefore, Yang Huairen felt that it was better to complete the original task first, let the Liao State be in chaos, and let them have no time to take care of the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia.

And as time goes by, the Liao State will only become more and more chaotic, and the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger under his constant changes, and under the advantages of one and the other, let alone recovering the land of Yanyun in the future, even if the Liao State is annexed, it is only a matter of time.

It's just that all this can't be said to Sister Ghost, so you can only keep her in the dark first.

The sky was fine, but suddenly there was a spring thunder, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the wind became a little cooler......
