"Phew! It's too much of a deception! In the palace of Shangjing, Yelu Jun angrily overturned the dragon case in front of him, and walked back and forth in the hall with a roar, before he had no choice but to ask the Great Song Dynasty to surrender on the condition, just hoping to retain the title of the emperor, as well as a piece of land that can be autonomous, for which he even promised not to keep the army, but he did not expect that in the end, although the Great Song Dynasty agreed, but changed a condition that he could not accept.

Seeing Yelujun's angry appearance, the palace maids and attendants in the hall were all frightened, and the civil and military ministers on both sides of the hall also shrank their heads one by one, no one dared to touch Yelujun's moldy head at this time, but if you look closely, you can see that some ministers have disapproving expressions on their faces, because Da Liao is about to die, and they have a lot less awe of Yelujun, the emperor, of course, no one is stupid to show it until now, and they can only plan for their future in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, in the end, Yelu Yixin could only stand up and say: "Your Majesty, it is normal for the Song people to propose to change the conditions, after all, negotiations need to be bargained, so Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry about this matter, it is better to urge Xiao Derang and let him talk to the commander of the Song army again, maybe ......"

"Talk? What else is there to talk about? Before Yelu Yixin's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yelu Jun in a loud voice, "I have already proposed not to keep the army, just hoping to retain the title of an emperor, but the Great Song Dynasty did not even agree to this small request, and only agreed to be crowned king, and when I see the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, I will even give him a courtier salute, which is simply a humiliation to me!" ”

It turned out that although Yang Huaiyu agreed to Yelujun's surrender conditions, he did not agree to retain Yelujun's title of emperor. This is not to humiliate Yelujun, but that there are no two masters of the country, since the Liao State has surrendered, then the Great Song Dynasty can only have one emperor, and the Liao State has always believed that they are the orthodox of the Central Plains Dynasty, because they established the country earlier than the Great Song Dynasty. However, the Great Song Dynasty believed that he was the orthodox Han people, and there were many disputes between the two countries for this reason, so for this reason alone, it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to let Yelujun retain the throne again.

Yelu Yixin didn't expect Yelu Jun to give him so faceless, not only interrupted him in front of the ministers, but also reprimanded him, which made him feel ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to contradict it, so he had to retreat with a black face. Seeing that even Yelu Yixin, a powerful minister, had touched the nail, the other ministers were even more afraid to speak.

Seeing these ministers who seemed to be dumb, Yelujun was even more angry, and pointed at them at the moment and scolded them again, but it was a pity that these ministers of the Liao State had already practiced the magic skills of not moving like a mountain, and no matter how Yelujun scolded, they would be treated as a breeze and not moved at all. In the end, Yelu Jun had no choice but to drive everyone out in a huff.

After the ministers were gone. Hu Yanjun sat on the dragon chair and sulked again, and finally returned to the inner palace angrily, there were many concubines in the palace that he loved, but at this time he was irritable, especially thinking that if Da Liao died in the country, his concubines might become other people's spoils. It made him feel extremely annoyed.

At the moment, Yelu Jun didn't have the heart to go to other favorite concubines, and finally unknowingly came to the queen's residence, according to the tradition of Liao, his queen was naturally born in the Xiao family, and this Xiao queen gave birth to the crown prince Yelu Yanxi for Yelu Jun. It's just that Queen Xiao is older, and she has already lost Yelujun's favor, and Yelujun rarely comes to her in normal times.

Today, Yelu Jun walked to Queen Xiao's place, but as soon as he came to the outside of the main hall where Queen Xiao lived, he heard a burst of crying from inside, which made him a little surprised.

"What's the matter, why are you mother and son crying?" Yelujun was already very upset, but now seeing his wife and son crying bitterly, he was even more irritable at the moment, and his tone of voice was also very unkind.

"Your Majesty, the emperor just got the news that the two younger brothers of the concubine went to the top of the city to command the soldiers when the Jurchens attacked Shangjing this morning, but the section of the city wall where they were located was broken by the Jurchens, although they were later recaptured, but the two younger brothers of the concubine have both been killed......" When it came to the end, Empress Xiao was already crying, since the Jurchens killed the upper capital, almost all the middle-aged men in the capital were conscripted, and his two younger brothers used to be generals in the army, This time, he was even more responsible for guarding the city wall, and finally died in the battle.

Hearing his wife's cry, Yelujun couldn't help but sigh, although Queen Xiao's two younger brothers have no special talents, they are also loyal and patriotic, and he has praised these two people before, but he didn't expect that even the other party would die in Shangjingtou. And he also knew that the nobles who died in the war during this period were not only Empress Xiao's two younger brothers, but also many people from the Xiao family and the royal family, who either voluntarily or were forced to go to the battlefield, many of them died on the city wall, and as for those ordinary people who had just been conscripted into the army, the number of deaths was even more.

"Father, the Jurchens are about to come in, should we avoid the edge for a while and go to other places to hide?" At this moment, Yelu Yanxi, who had just wiped away his tears, suddenly opened his mouth and suggested that he had been pampered since he was a child, and it was the first time he felt that danger was so close to him, and he had just come of age, and there were still good years waiting for him, so he didn't want to die in the hands of the Jurchens so early.

"Run?" Ye Lujun smiled bitterly when he heard his son's words, sat down weakly and said, "Where else can we escape, the north has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens, and the south is being pressed by the Song army step by step, leaving only one Yikun Prefecture to support it, but the treasury of our Liao State is empty, and the food is about to run out, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid we don't need the Song army to do it at all, we will starve to death!" ”

Hearing his father's words, Yelu Yanxi was stunned for a moment, and then said with an ecstatic expression: "Father, since there is no place to escape in the south and north, and there is the sea in the east, it must be impossible, then we might as well flee to the west, there is a vast grassland, and it is nominally under the rule of our Liao State, as long as we get there, maybe we can gather an army and find an opportunity to kill it again!" ”

As soon as Yelu Yanxi's words fell, he saw Yelu Jun smile bitterly again and said: "How can it be so easy, the Great Song Dynasty has long prevented us from fleeing westward, and the western army from the northwest has blocked all the ways for us to flee west, and even if we flee to the grassland in the west, but those barbarians on the grassland only nominally belong to our Liao rule, but in fact they are quite dissatisfied with my Daliao, and some barbarians have often rebelled in the past, if we flee to the grassland viciously, I'm afraid we haven't waited for us to gather an army, It has been eaten by those steppe barbarians, and there are not even slags left. ”

Hearing his father's words, Yelu Yanxi's face suddenly turned extremely pale, he thought that he had come up with a way to escape, but he didn't expect that it would still not work, could he only stay in Shangjing City and wait for death?

Seeing the frightened expression on his son's face, Yelujun suddenly felt a pain in his heart, the more critical this kind of moment, the easier it is for people to notice the feelings of their relatives, for example, Yelujun usually doesn't care much about Yelu Yanxi's son, but now he suddenly has a feeling of conscience discovery, which makes him feel a little guilty while worrying about his son's safety.

"Emperor, you don't have to worry, our Da Liao was attacked by the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, it is really the destruction of my Khitan, the so-called providence cannot be violated, I have decided to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and let Xiao Derang go to contact the commander of the Song army, but some conditions have not yet been negotiated, but as long as the Great Song Dynasty agrees to our conditions, we will be safe!" At this time, Yelu Jun showed a rare soft smile, and stretched out his hand to stroke Yelu Yanxi's forehead and said, although he has to bear most of the responsibility for the current situation of the Liao State, but in Ye Lu Jun's own opinion, this is not the case, but the will of heaven wants to destroy the Liao State, which cannot be stopped by manpower.

"Really? Then let's surrender quickly, the Jin Kingdom is a group of barbarians, if it falls into their hands, I am afraid that life will be worse than death, in comparison, the Great Song Dynasty is much more civilized, and we used to be allies of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as we surrender sincerely, presumably the Great Song Dynasty will not embarrass us! Yelu Yanxi was also pleasantly surprised at the moment, although he was also a little reluctant to give up on the rivers and mountains of Daliao, but now as long as he can save his life, he can't take care of the rest.

Seeing the longing smile on his son's face, Yelujun couldn't help but feel a softness in his heart, sighed faintly at the moment, patted his son's shoulder and comforted him a few words, and then turned around and left, but at this time he had already made a decision in his heart, and after leaving Queen Xiao's place, he immediately wrote a letter by hand, and then asked people to send it to Yikun Prefecture as quickly as possible.

Xiao Derang in Yikun Prefecture was also anxiously waiting for the news of going to Beijing, because Yang Huaiyu only gave him three days, if he did not give an accurate answer to Beijing within three days, then the Song army would immediately attack, and the grain and grass here in Yikun Prefecture were about to run out, and they could not withstand the attack of the Song army at all.

When Yelujun's handwritten letter was delivered to Xiao Derang's hands, he immediately opened the letter impatiently, and when he saw the reply on the letter, the expression on Xiao Derang's face was also relaxed, and then immediately sent someone to the Song military camp to agree with Yang Huaiyu again on the time and place of negotiation.
