Chapter 41 Make the two warriors of the Southern Dynasty compete for the lead

volunteered to be willing to send envoys, which is the hero of the Liao clan, and the general of Jin Wuwei, Yelu Yu, is also.

Liao Lord Yelu Yanxi saw that it was Yelu Yu, and couldn't help but nod secretly first. Counting it up, Yelu Yujian and him are still relatives of his brother-in-law! One of Yelu Yanxi's harems, Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, was a famous female poet in Khitan, Xiao Sese's eldest sister married Yelu Tart Haoli, and the third sister married Yelu Yujian - there is this relationship, Yelu Yanxi still trusts Yelu Yujian very much.

Yelu Yu stepped forward in high spirits to ask for orders, and he also had his own plans. Although the envoy to the Southern Dynasty traveled thousands of miles and was tiring, it was also an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and form diplomatic assistance - from the public point of view, to help Ximenqing for the Great Liao; Privately, for his nephew, the son of Concubine Wen Xiao Sese, King Yelu Aolu of Jin negotiated to aid Ximenqing.

Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, had six sons, namely Yelu Aolu, King of Jin, Yelu Yali, King of Liang, Yelu Tartlu, King of Yan, Yelu Xinilie, King of Zhao, Yelu Ding, King of Qin, and Yelu Ning, King of Xu. Yelu Aolu, the king of Jin born to Xiao Sese, is the eldest of the six, known as virtuous, has a certain prestige among the people, and has the highest voice as the emperor, so Yelu Yu is naturally active in this uncle, in order to make this nephew, who is deeply loved by the people, inherit the throne of Daliao in the future.

Liangshan Ximenqing defeated Zhao and Song, has become the new ruler of the Southern Dynasty, some time ago his people swept through the Western Xinjiang, Western Xia and Tubo are all tied, can be described as strong. The Jin King Yelu Ao Lu won the popularity of the people, and if he got diplomatic reinforcements such as Ximenqing, the stability of the throne would be more guaranteed.

Seeing that it was Yelu Yu, the royal prince of the clan, he asked for an envoy, and Yelu Yanxi was about to push the boat down the river, but one of the ministers flashed out early, and said loudly: "Long live my lord, this envoy of the Southern Dynasty, and the ministers are also willing to go!" ”

Liao Lord Yelu Yanxi fixed his eyes and saw that this second person who was brave enough to be the first was none other than the emperor's relatives - his double brother-in-law Xiao Fengxian.

What is a double brother-in-law? It turned out that Xiao Fengxian's two younger sisters, Xiao Duoli Lazy, and Xiao Guige's Empress Eying worked together, Xiao Duoli Lazy was the official queen of Yelu Yanxi, and Xiao Guige was Yelu Yanxi's concubine. Stained with the light of the two sisters, although Xiao Fengxian has been lazy since he was a child and does not learn and has no skills, the two sisters are a concubine, and they naturally become noble brothers.

Xiao Feng's ancestors, who don't learn and don't know how to do it, are still very sensitive to power and art by nature, and Yelu Yu saw the little careful thinking behind the volunteering, and he felt the same way. weishenme said empathy? It turned out that although the queen Xiao Duoli was lazy and had no children, Xiao Guige, the concubine who was most favored by Yelu Yanxi, gave birth to Yeluding, the king of Qin. As the uncle of King Qin, Xiao Fengxian certainly hoped that his nephew would ascend to the throne of the lord of the Great Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, Xiao Fengxian saw that Yelu Yu wanted to send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty, and immediately came out to compete with him - Ximen Qing also wanted to make friends with such a strong reinforcement.

Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, looked at the two people under the Danqi - one was the brother-in-law of the clan, and the other was the brother-in-law of the double material, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he was indecisive for a while.

Yelu Yu saw that Xiao Fengxian had come to ruin his own good deeds, and he felt a great hatred in his heart, and after a slight change of thought, he said loudly: "Long live my lord, the beginning of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the new lord of the Southern Dynasty, how important is this envoy?" You have to choose people carefully. If not, there will be the defeat of the river store, the loss of Tokyo Road, the misdirection of the country and the people, and it will be too late to regret! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fengxian's color immediately changed, and Guy Yelu was not annoyed when he saw it, and it hit his sore spot.

Two years ago, that is, in the fourth year of Daliao Tianqing (1114), Wanyan Agu raised troops to invade Ningjiang Prefecture, and Xiao Tzubu also lost the battle with Xiao Tzubu, the commander of the Northeast Road. Yelu Yanxi ordered Xiao Fengxian's younger brother Xiao Sixian to serve as the commander of the capital, and led the Fan and Han armies to attack and stationed in Chuhedian. The Jurchens secretly crossed the Tongtong River and attacked the Liao army unprepared. Xiao Si was defeated first, and most of the soldiers fled. Xiao Fengxian was afraid that his brother would be killed, so he said, "The defeated army of the Eastern Crusade fled with guilt, and robbed everywhere they went, and if they were not pardoned, I am afraid that they would gang up to become thieves and become a disaster." Yelu Yanxi obeyed his brother-in-law's words, and after Xiao Feng arranged everything first, he let Xiao Si go to the palace first to accept the punishment and conviction, and the board fell, but he was only removed from his official position. The military orders and punishments were so unclear that from then on, the Liao soldiers had no fighting spirit against the Jurchens, and they fled when they encountered the enemy, and the number of people who fell in the counties and counties was like day by day - this was the so-called "defeat of the river shop".

And the "loss of Tokyo Road" has nothing to do with Xiao Fengxian - it is Xiao Fengxian's brother Xiao Baoxian, who was left behind in Tokyo, embezzled and corrupted, looted Tokyo Road three feet high, and the people were poor. The officials forced the people to rebel, and they had to rebel, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong took advantage of the time to move and rose up in Tokyo Dao, killing Xiao Baoxian in one fell swoop, not to mention, even the entire Tokyo Dao was sold to the Jurchens.

"The defeat of the river shop, the loss of the Tokyo Road", these ten words are really like a soft knife that kills people without seeing blood, only cutting Xiao Fengxian's heart with blood, and shouted: "Yu Dugu!" You! Dare to expose Lao Tzu's shortcomings? I'm fighting with you today! As he spoke, he rolled his sleeves and fists and was about to rush up.

The minister next to him hurriedly hugged - "Lord Xiao! Calm down! Be calm! "Lord Xiao, long live before driving, you can't lose your manners!" "Lord Xiao, that Yelu Yu is a good martial artist, you can't beat him!" ……

Yelu Yu stared at the chaos here, sneered slightly, and didn't say a word. Xiao Fengxian relied on the favor of the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi, and put on a broken net: "You let go of me!" This nurse under the horse's baggage insulted me Xiao too much, and I will not stop with him today! ”

Seeing that there was a mess in the court, the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi was not only not annoyed, but laughed. He is a person who likes to hunt, disgusted with politics, today I finally went to the court, and I encountered such an interesting thing, if there is such a lively thing to see every day, then every day to go to the court, it is not a chore.

Looking at Xiao Fengxian, who was arrogant and screaming, Yelu Yanxi nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "It's better to be Xiao Qing!" Knowing that a certain family is annoyed by this government, he does not hesitate to play in this court, and I am happy, which is rare! Rare! ”

Yelu Yanxi watched the white drama with relish for a long time, and when the scene was already a mess, the Liao lord shook his majesty and coughed lightly. In the end, it is the Son of Heaven, under a cough, Xiao Fengxian, who is like a tiger, immediately became honest, and behaved like a kitten.

Some ministers immediately sent sycophants: "Long live Shenwei!" ”

Yelu Yanxi showed his imperial measure, and he was quite proud in his heart, so he glanced at Xiao Fengxian with affection and a smile, and then turned his head to the five old men with clay sculptures and wood carvings at the head of the hall and asked: "Five Aiqing, in your opinion, how should this matter of envoy to the Southern Dynasty be handled?" ”

Hearing that it was the emperor's inquiry, the five old men with clay and wood carvings finally returned to their souls, and they all said in unison: "Let the Holy Judge be in unison!" ”

Yelu Yanxi personally recruited the Jurchens, but was beaten by Wanyan Agu with fewer victories and more defeats. When the Liao lord couldn't get his face down, Xiao Fengxian stepped forward in time to slander the king, so he scolded himself for not knowing about military affairs, harming the holy lord, and causing this defeat, which is really a crime that deserves death.

No matter how guilty you are, a bureaucrat who deserves to die will never die, this is the law of history -- Xiao Fengxian is certainly no exception. Yelu Yanxi, who had obtained the steps, gave an order to remove Xiao Fengxian from the post of privy envoy of the Northern Court, and the defeat of the army was explained.

Since Xiao Fengxian has stepped down, it is right to use a group of people with both virtue and ability to boost the government. However, Yelu Yanxi wanted to appoint the elderly Yelu Dabei Nu as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and adjusted several ministers in important posts accordingly - in addition to Yelu Dabeinu, there were also Xiao Chara, the privy envoy of the Zhibei Yuan, and Wu Yong, Ma Renwang, and Chai Yi, five old men who were in charge of the Southern Court.

But these five people are all mediocre, and there is no way to govern the country and return the money, and the Liao court immediately fell into a state of inaction. At that time, there was even a ridicule among the people - "Five Weng Weng is 400 years old, and the south and north are sleepy." He can't control his own spirit, and he has a lot of intentions to kill the Jurchen. ”

From time to time, some ministers mentioned the ridicule to Yelu Yanxi, but Yelu Yanxi just laughed and did not answer. Of course, Yelu Yanxi knew in his heart about the incompetence and inaction of the five Weng Weng, but it was clear that he was not ready to change for the time being-he was ready to wait for the time being, when the big vegetables really couldn't stand the five four-hundred-year-old Weng Weng, and then send the loyal and loving Xiao Fengxian back, or let Xiao Qing be the privy envoy of the Northern Court under one person and above ten thousand people.

I don't live up to me, and I don't live up to me!

Today's court, Yelu Yujian and Xiao Fengxian both came to fight for the task of envoy to the Southern Dynasty, it is reasonable, and they have to consult the opinions of the five old ministers, so that the old men can go down in face, this is also the way to respect the old and respect the virtuous as an emperor, isn't it appropriate?

Under the respect for the old and the virtuous, as expected by Yelu Yanxi, the five old men still didn't know anything, and loyally pushed back the power of the holy judgment, this kind of harmony is really a model for countless officials in the world!

Lord Liao sighed with satisfaction, then straightened his expression and said in a deep and majestic voice: "Xiao Qing! ”

Xiao Fengxian hurriedly knelt down: "The minister is here!" Although there are many people with the surname Xiao in the court, there will always be only one "Xiao Qing" in the mouth of Long Live .

I heard Yelu Yanxi say: "Xiao Qing! You are determined to go south, and although your loyalty is commendable, you have mistaken your ideas! ”

Yelu Yu, who had been watching coldly, was surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this long live is going to refute Xiao Fengxian's house for the first time?" ”

But listening to Yelu Yanxi was not in a hurry, and said something. This is exactly what it is:

is all because of the brainlessness of the master, so that there is a favor to the minister. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
