Thinking of this, Xiao Hu said inconspicuously: "Xiaguan has long admired the imperial uncle, but the lower official knows that his official position is low, and he does not dare to bother rashly if he does not enter the eyes of the imperial uncle." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yelu Nerugu spoke quickly and said: "What did Lord Xiao say, my father had long wanted to ......" Before he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Yelu Chongyuan, who was sitting on the side, and he jumped up in pain, looking at Yelu Chongyuan with a face full of disbelief: "How can you still have this kind of strength when you are old?" ”

Xiao Hujian was also shocked by this scene, but quickly figured out the taste: "King Wu, but this tea is too hot?" Xiaguan will let people change the tea ......"

Yelu Nerugu is also a little anxious, although from time to time he makes some puzzling things, but he is not a fool after all, and hurriedly said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, it is this king who is in a hurry to drink that causes this." Father, you go on, go on. ”

Xiao Hujian already knew the meaning of Yelu Chongyuan well, but it was really unwise to sneak into his camp before the actual benefits were in his hands. This kind of practice is something that a rookie in officialdom will only do when he is hot-headed, who is Xiao Hujian? Can be suppressed by Yelu Yixin, and still firmly occupy the position of important ministers of the court, how can Yelu Chongyuan's words be provoked?

Seeing that Xiao Hujian only smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, he only drank tea with a teacup, and did not speak, as if he was waiting for something. Yelu Chongyuan also understood that he was waiting for his offer. After pondering, Yelu Chongyuan suddenly said: "In today's Liao Kingdom, is there still half a scene from when Taizu was back then?" Today, above the court, the ministers are in charge, blinding the Son of Heaven and making the court miserable. This king is His Majesty's imperial uncle, how can he sit idly by? However, Your Majesty has been bewitched for a long time, where can you listen to the advice of this king? This king was born and died for the Great Liao, guarded the northeast, and tried to ensure the peace of the northeast for more than ten years. In the end, it was such a chilling situation! This king is indignant in his heart, but he can't support it alone, what about it? ”

Hearing that Yelu Chongyuan portrayed himself as so great, Rao was cheeky and cheeky, and his face was hot when he heard it. But Yelu Chongyuan is arrogant, and his calm appearance of identifying himself as a loyal minister is also admirable.

Before he had time to digest this reversal of right and wrong, Yelu Chongyuan continued: "Brother Xiao, the situation in the court is so difficult, are you willing to help this king, sweep away the traitors, and return the Qing Dynasty to Daliao?" ”

Xiao Hujian put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Although the lower officials are not talented, they also understand the truth of Qingjun's side. But Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, even if there is a traitor who can be deceived for a while, how can he be deceived for a lifetime? As long as we do our duty, after a long time, Your Majesty will naturally wake up, so why do we need to do this more? ”

Yelu Chongyuan had long expected that Xiao Hu would not give in so easily when he saw this old fox, so he simply said straight to the point: "This king has already heard that Brother Xiao is also at odds with Yelu Yixin, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao Huzhen said: "Where did the imperial uncle get the news? The lower officials just have different political opinions from Lord Yelu, and they are all rumors and rumors! ”

Hearing this, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Nerugu secretly cursed in their hearts at the same time: "Old fox! ”

Yelu Chongyuan pondered for a while and said, "Brother Xiao is too cautious, there are no outsiders here, so this king will spread out and say it directly." This king wants to clear the king's side and remove Yelu Yixin, Xiao Xulie and other traitors from His Majesty's side. At that time, with Brother Xiao's ability, will the privy envoy of the Northern Court still be able to escape from the palm of your hand? ”

After a pause, Yelu Chongyuan lowered his voice and said, "This king and Yelu Yixin have long been on the same page. It is Xiao Xulie, and he is also the king's great enemy in the court. The king did not notice it for a while, and was defeated by the sneak attack of the Han people in the south, and he had lost his sacred heart. In the future, I am afraid, it will be difficult to return to the Northeast for half a step. If Brother Xiao joins forces with this king, what will Yelu Yixin and Xiao Xulie be worth, it will be no problem! In the past, this king dealt with the two of them alone, and his own skills were lacking, and His Majesty also favored them more. Fortunately, this king is loyal, so His Majesty will not be suspicious. If there are one or two more such characters to suppress this king, this court is not their world? When the time comes, I'm afraid Brother Xiao, you will not be able to escape their clutches! ”

What Yelu Chongyuan said, Xiao Hujian didn't know. After carefully weighing the difference in strength between the two sides, Xiao Hujian found that although the imperial uncle in front of him was a little out of position at the moment, he was very accessible. Coupled with the identity of the clan, Yelu Hongji needs to think twice before he wants to suppress it. It's already isolated, so why not fight together?

Under the sharp change of thoughts, Xiao Hujian had already made a decision, and immediately got up and said: "What the imperial uncle said, the lower officials think so. The two of us have formed an alliance, and the DPRK and China will take care of each other, support Your Majesty, and eliminate treachery! ”

This was said so righteously that Yelu Chongyuan's father and son almost vomited when they heard it. What kind of people are on both sides, and who doesn't know whose bottom line? Acting in front of the other party is just wearing a transparent mask.

However, at this point, the two sides reached a secret agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance, and Xiao Hujian officially joined the camp of the imperial uncle, which was considered to be a gain. And Xiao Hujian's addition not only increased Yelu Chongyuan's power in the court, but also brought Xiao Hudu and Xiao Ge in by the way, which can be described as a great harvest. After all, once a party or faction is formed, others will classify you as one and in the party, and you will not be able to wash yourself by jumping into the Yellow River.

After confirming the camps of the two sides, the three of them began to think about how to bring down Yelu Yixin in the long run. It's just that Yelu Yixin is in a high position by virtue of Yelu Hongji's favor. Even if there is any minor mistake, suing Yelu Hongjina is only a few words of gentle reprimand, and it is insignificant. But if you are caught by Yelu Yixin and sue in front of Yelu Hongji, the three of them will not die and shed their skin. This kind of asymmetrical contest must be carefully planned and must be hit in one fell swoop. If it doesn't hurt and is beaten by the opponent, it doesn't make sense.

They discussed for a long time and confirmed that as long as Yelu Hongji's favor to Yelu Yixin was defeated, Yelu Yixin would not be able to make any waves. But that's the hardest part. How can we make Yelu Yixin's no longer favored? Unless he gets dizzy and does the next stupid thing himself, he may be abolished by Yelu Hongji. But pinning your hopes on the opponent's mistakes is the most helpless thing to do. The three of them can be regarded as worthy of Zhuge Liang, but they still can't discuss any good ways.

Seeing that it was getting late, there was a curfew in the capital. Xiao Hujian wanted to stay with Yelu Chongyuan's father and son to eat at the house, but Yelu Chongyuan refused. Their relationship should not be exposed too early. If he is targeted by Yelu Yixin, he will lose the opportunity.

Taking the reins of the horse handed over by the house slave, Yelu Chongyuan turned over and said, "Lord Xiao, please stay, talk about poetry and poetry today, my lord is really good." Change the king of Japan to bother again, and talk about poetry with adults again! ”

Xiao Hu saw his understanding and said, "Uncle Huang walked slowly, and the lower official sent ...... not far away."

This scene has long been hidden in the dark by people with intentions and seen in the eyes. In a short time, this information was handed to the desk of the privy envoy of the Northern Court, Yelu Yixin. (To be continued.) )
