It was getting late, and Yelu Yixin left the palace and rode in a carriage to go back to his mansion to rest, there was still some distance before the curfew, but the pedestrians on the street had already begun to speed up their pace, because if they did not return to their homes before the curfew, if they were caught by the guards, they would have to be whipped and even beheaded.

Compared with those pedestrians who are in a hurry, there is another kind of people on the streets of Tokyo, that is, refugees who have taken refuge in the city, these refugees are piled together in a pile of east and west, huddled motionless on the street corner, as if they are dead, and there are also some unwilling refugees who continue to beg for pedestrians, but the price of food in the city has skyrocketed, even the small rich families can only live on gruel, and ordinary families can't even eat themselves, where is there surplus food to give to these refugees?

Looking at the refugees struggling on the streets, Yelu Yixin's eyes flashed a little indifference, in his opinion, these refugees are not worthy of pity at all, but because of the existence of these refugees, the security of Shangjing has become very bad, and even many refugees break into other people's homes at night, in order to grab a bite to eat, sometimes encounter resistance, the vicious people among those refugees will also kill, as the prime minister of Liao, he hates this situation, but unfortunately he has never reflected, Who is primarily responsible for this?

Yelu Yixin's mansion was not far from the palace, so soon his carriage came to his mansion, but what he didn't expect was that in the open space of his mansion, there were also a lot of refugees, and there were thousands of people at a glance, which made his face a little unsightly, and immediately said to the steward who greeted him in front of the door after getting off the carriage: "There are so many refugees in front of the door, why don't you drive them away?" ”

Hearing Yelu Yixin's blame, the steward was also frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Master. It's not that we don't drive them away, it's that there are too many of these refugees, and they really have nowhere to go. Even if they sent the family to drive away, it was useless, and even they almost fought with the family ding, the villain was afraid that there would be a real conflict, and it would not be good for the reputation of the master, so he didn't dare to come hard. ”

"Oh?" Yelu Yixin was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the refugees who were usually timid as mice would be so tough, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem strange that these refugees didn't want to eat. The lack of drink, combined with the fact that the weather is getting colder, has plunged these refugees into despair, and in despair they can do anything, so now these refugees are like a powder keg, perhaps with a little spark to cause catastrophic consequences.

Thinking of this question, Yelu Yixin couldn't help but be a little afraid, but soon he thought about it again. They had already reached the conditions of surrender in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song army was rushing to Shangjing. As long as the Song army arrives, the Jin army in the north of the city will definitely retreat, and the situation in the city will be easily solved. He no longer has to worry about this ruined Liao State.

At that moment, Yelu Yixin raised his foot and wanted to walk into the mansion, but when he crossed the threshold with one foot, he suddenly stopped, only to see him standing there pondering for a moment, and then turned his head to the steward next to him and asked, "How much grain is there in the mansion now?" ”

"Don't worry, sir. There are three large granaries built in the house, and the food in them is only consumed by the people in our house, and I am afraid that we will not be able to eat it for three or five years, but now that the price of grain in the city is soaring, we can sell some grain and make a windfall! I saw the steward smile and said, in fact, the food shortage in the capital is not as serious as it seems on the surface, at least there is a large amount of grain stored in the mansions of the nobles, but everyone tacitly stores the grain, which leads to the soaring price of grain, and this is the opportunity for the nobles to take the opportunity to make a windfall.

Yelu Yixin has always been greedy for money, and he would definitely be very happy to hear this news on a regular basis, but today after hearing it, he suddenly shook his head and said: "It's not proper, so let's order someone to fetch some food, and then set up a porridge shack at the gate of the house to help the refugees!" ”

"Huh? This ......" The steward couldn't help but pluck his ears when he heard this, wondering if he had heard it wrong, because he had followed Yelu Yixin for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had seen Yelu Yixin so generous, you must know that at the current price of grain, a pound of grain can be exchanged for copper coins of the same weight, and if you open a porridge shed, you don't know how much money the food consumed every day can be exchanged?

"Ahhh Hurry up and do what I tell you, the sky of Daliao is about to change, and no matter how much money we can't keep, it's useless, so now we need to exchange the money for something else! Yelu Yixin said lightly at the moment, and after speaking, he didn't care if he could understand the matter, turned around and entered the mansion with his hands behind his back.

The reason why Yelu Yixin is so generous is naturally for his reasons, just like what he said, Da Liao is going to change, don't look at him now in power, but after the Great Song Dynasty took over here, he couldn't even grasp his own fate, and he knew that his reputation was not very good in Liao, so at this time he was most worried that after the surrender, the Great Song Dynasty would settle accounts with him, so he was ready to do some good things, although there was a suspicion of grinding guns, but at least it could make him feel at ease. In addition, as soon as the Song army arrives, the grain in the rear will definitely be transported in, and the food will be worthless at that time, so it is better to take out some of it now and do some good deeds, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Yelu Yixin's mind is naturally not something that a small steward can understand, but he also knows that it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand some things, he just needs to do what the master tells him, which is also the main reason why he can stay by Yelu Yixin's side for more than ten years without returning.

After returning to Fuzhong, Yelu Yixin ate dinner in the company of his family, compared to the gruel drunk by the victims outside, his dinner was naturally much richer, full of a large table of dishes, but unfortunately he was old, he really had no appetite, only tasted two mouthfuls and drank a bowl of lotus seed porridge and couldn't eat.

After dinner, Yelu Yixin took care of official business for a while, and then took a hot bath under the service of the two concubines, which is also a habit he has developed in recent years.

In the end, Yelu Yixin lay on the bed under the service of the concubine, and then waved everyone to retreat, he was old, and he was already powerless for beauty, and the concubines around him were just for others to see, at most they could only be maids.

At this time, it was already the second watch, Yelu Yixin slept very lightly, not only could there be no light in the room, but also there could be no sound outside, but even so, Yelu Yixin still did not feel the slightest sleepiness at this time, and could only look at the moonlight through the window and think about things quietly.

Now that the court of the Liao State has slowly regained its calm after the initial chaos, most of the people have accepted the surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and even Yelujun himself has become at ease, and has been staying in the palace waiting for the arrival of the Song army.

Speaking of Yelu Yixin is also a person who is unwilling to live under others, and even before he was secretly laying out in the court, preparing to plot the throne of Liao, but later saw that the Liao State was becoming more and more decaying, and finally lost to the Jin State and the Song State one after another, which made him keenly aware that the time of the Great Liao was short, since this is the case, then he might as well be his own prime minister honestly, and other things still let Yelu Jun have a headache, and now it seems that he still has a vision, otherwise it is now that he surrenders to the Great Song Dynasty.

Thinking about the things in the court, Yelu Yixin slowly felt a little sleepy, and finally fell asleep in a daze. However, this sleep did not last long, and soon Yelu Yixin was woken up by a noise from the outside world, which made him sit up from the bed very annoyed, and just wanted to call the people outside in and scold, after all, he would never allow any loud noise outside when he slept.

But before Yelu Yixin could speak, he saw that the door was pushed open all of a sudden, and then a steward broke in in a panic and shouted: "Master, something is wrong, there is a rebellion in the city, and there are rebels killing our house, let's run away!" ”

Hearing that there was a rebellion in the city, Yelu Yixin couldn't help but feel his heart jump, and hurriedly put on his shoes at the moment, and at the same time reprimanded the steward: "What are you panicking, quickly organize the generals and servants in the house, this thief can't be killed at all!" ”

The steward saw that his master could still be so calm, and he felt like he had a backbone at the moment, and immediately ran out to organize people to defend. Yelu Yixin walked out of the room quickly, and found that the house was already in chaos, and he hurriedly scolded a few times, called some henchmen to surround him, and then he sent people to organize all his family members together, and prepared the carriage, so that if the rebels sent people to attack him, he would definitely not be able to hold it with the men in his house, and he could only flee at that time.

Sure enough, Yelu Yixin was the actual ruler of the Liao State, and the rebels naturally would not let him go, and after a while, someone reported that a rebel army of 2,000 people came in from the main gate, and the generals and servants in the house couldn't stop it at all, so Yelu Yixin immediately let his family members get into the carriage, and then under the protection of some henchmen, he was ready to leave quietly through the back door. It's just that what Yelu Yixin never expected was that when his Ma Liu came out of the back door, he saw a scene that made people vomit blood. (To be continued.) )
