...

Yeluchun originally wanted to call the Song State a vassal, and then borrowed troops from the Song State to defend against Wanyan Aguda in the north and Li Yan and Emperor Tianzuo in the west, so as to protect the land of Yanjing for the Liao State and their Khitan clan.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi went out without authorization and defeated the Song army completely, making Yeluchun's plan come to nothing.

Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi defeated Song State, which should not be defeated the most. No, it should be said that Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi fought against Song State, which should not be defeated the most, and ruined the last trace of life in Beiliao, leaving Yeluchun in despair. The condition worsened dramatically.

One day, Yeluchun, who was sick in bed, suddenly saw some black bats flying around in his bedroom, that is, the Yaochi Palace, which disturbed him.

Yeluchun said to the virtuous lady Xiao Pu who was waiting on him: "How come there are bats flying in in the broad daylight? Where did they come from? Get someone to drive them out!"

Miss Xiao Puxian hurriedly asked someone to drive away the bats.

In fact, there are no bats in the hall at all, this is all Yeluchun's illusion.

Anyone can see that Yeluchun's condition is getting worse and worse, maybe time is running out.

This made Yanjing, which was already shrouded in gloom, even more gloomy.

Since that day, Yeluchun's body has deteriorated day by day, and he is still in a trance and awake at times.

In the middle of June, Xiao Qian came to Yaochi Hall in a hurry.

Although Yeluchun was already dead, Xiao Qian still whispered in Yeluchun's ear: "Your Majesty, we just got a spy saying that Yelu Yanxi, king of Xiangyin, was defeated by Li Yan, and his 10,000+ army was defeated by Li Yan." Killed more than 7 people, captured more than 8000 people, Yelu Yanxi fled with only 500 people, and Li Yan only killed and injured more than 1 horses."

Yeluchun was greatly shocked, he hastily told Xiao Qian, "Hurry up and call a group of ministers and come here to discuss countermeasures!"

After receiving the notice, the Pan-Han ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty came to the Yaochi Palace for a meeting one after another.

Looking at the gray-haired, haggard, skinny, and lifeless Yeluchun, the Panhan ministers in the Northern Liao Dynasty felt sad and anxious.

Yeluchun was half lying on the bed, looking at the ministers, and said weakly: "The king of Xiangyin was defeated, and Li Yan only injured more than 1 horses. It may not be long before he comes to attack our Yanjing. You see, What should we do?"

After everyone listened, after being shocked, they immediately quarreled!
Some people said: "Fight to the end! Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, since my Liao man can defeat the Song army, he will definitely be able to defeat the Liangshan army!"

Someone snorted and said, "Li Yan has 30 troops, but we only have how many troops in Daliao. Can the paper-like combat power of the Song Army compare with the Liangshan Army who defeated the iron kite head-on?"

Someone said: "Li Yan is also the enemy of Song State. If Yanjing is captured by Li Yan, Song State will not be far from subjugation. We can form an alliance with Song State and deal with Li Yan together."

Someone laughed and said: "We just defeated Song State and killed tens of thousands of Song State's army. Can Song State form an alliance with us? Take a step back and say, even if Song State is willing to form an alliance with us, do we dare to let Song's army enter the territory? We are not afraid of Song State. The army pretends to attack Guo?"

Someone said: "How about surrendering to the Jurchens? Borrowing from the Jurchens..."

Before this person finished speaking, someone said angrily: "My Daliao has fallen into such a field because of the Jurchens' rebellion. I would rather surrender to Li Yan than to surrender to the Jurchens!"

Someone took the opportunity to say: "Then surrender to Li Yan?"

Someone threatened: "If you are not afraid of Li Yan's butcher's knife, then go ahead and cast it."

"..."

Listening to the quarrel of the crowd, thinking that they had nowhere to go in Beiliao, Yeluchun got angry and spit out a big mouthful of blood, then threw his head back and passed out!

Seeing this, the imperial doctors waiting by the side hurried forward to rescue him.

It was not until the next morning that Yeluchun woke up slowly.

Since then, Yeluchun's body has been completely exaggerated, relying on the thousand-year-old ginseng to hang his last breath.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, filling the wooden lattice windows.

Yeluchun suddenly felt that his mind was very clear today, so he asked Mrs. Xiao Puxian to inform Li Chuwen to come to see him.

In front of Xiao Puxian, Yeluchun personally wrote a letter (that is, a letter of appointment) to Li Chuwen, conferring on Li Chuwen as the Marshal of the Fanhan Horse Infantry, and letting Li Chuwen command all the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom. We must welcome King Yeluding of Qin to succeed us, there must be no mistakes."

Li Chuwen agreed with tears.

Yeluchun then closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.

In fact, Yeluchun didn't sleep, and he really couldn't fall asleep, "Now, Li Yan has fully occupied Yundi and defeated Yelu Yanxi, Xixia, and Mongolia can let go and attack Yanjing, and the Jurchen army has assembled to the north. Anzhou, the Great Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers on the southern border, these three sharp arrows are going to shoot at Yanjing, how can Yanjing be kept?"

Yeluchun slowly opened his eyes, then looked at Miss Xiao Puxian and said: "After I die, you have to take care of yourself. Sooner or later, I will be implicated in your enthronement and proclaim the emperor. You... Forget it, time and fate!"

After speaking, Yeluchun wept silently.

Seeing that Yeluchun was obviously about to die, Li Chuwen hastily sent someone to secretly inform the Khitan and the ministers of the Xi clan, saying that His Majesty's condition is critical, please come to the Yaochi Hall to attend to the illness.

Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle in the palace, Li Chuwen quietly left the palace city - he wanted to close the gate of Yanjing, keep generals such as Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi out of the gate, and then send someone to Xiongzhou to contact Tong Guan, Let Tong Guan lead the army to come, then he will open the door to welcome the surrender.

But when Li Chuwen arrived at the Yingchun Gate, the gatekeepers reported to him that Xiao Qian had just entered the city with [-] elite cavalry.

Li Chuwen was shocked when he heard the news!
At this sensitive moment, Xiao Qian led the army into the city. Needless to say, it must have been arranged by his sister Xiao Pu Xiannv.

Li Chuwen really didn't expect Xiao Puxian to move so fast.

Judging from this duel, Li Chuwen completely lost to Miss Xiao Puxian.

When Xiao Qian came to Yaochi Hall, Yeluchun had completely closed his eyes.

Xiao Qian immediately blocked the news, imposed martial law on the imperial city, and ordered the officials to come to Yaochi Palace to discuss matters.

When the ministers came to the imperial city, they saw a post at three steps and a post at five steps, and the atmosphere was extremely serious, so they all guessed what was going on.

really!

Xiao Qian quickly announced to the ministers: "According to your Majesty's dying will, Yeluding, the son of Emperor Tianzuo, is established as the emperor, and the concubine Xiao Puxian is the empress dowager. Since Yeluding followed his father to the north, the empress dowager Xiao The main military affairs."

Everyone is the only one, and no one dares to raise objections.

Xiao Puxian then changed her reign name to "Dexing".

Li Chuwen actually received the notice of the meeting, but he said at home that he would not be sick, so he asked his son Li Shi to contact the heroes and warriors of Yanjing to prepare for a secret uprising and dedicate Yanjing to Song Guo. In order to be safe, Li Chuwen actually also contacted secretly In short, Li Chuwen has already started to find a way out for his family.

As the head of the hundred officials, Li Chuwen did not come to pay homage, in other words, Li Chuwen did not recognize her dominance, which made Miss Xiao Puxian a little uneasy.

Xiao Puxian said to Xiao Qian: "Li Chuwen has a letter in his hand, which was written to him by the late emperor, and he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses. If that letter is in his hands, you should also be restrained by him. You should take that letter back as soon as possible. , can’t let that Zhazi be in the hands of a Han Chinese, so as not to leave future troubles.”

That's right.

Miss Xiao Puxian did not believe in the Han people.

It can even be said that Miss Xiao Puxian hated the Han people very much, hated them for being despicable and shameless, taking advantage of others' danger, swaying from side to side and always wanting to surrender.

Sometimes, Xiao Pu Xiannv wanted to kill all the Han officials and Han people under her rule to vent her hatred.

It's a pity that the current Beiliao is riddled with holes and does not support her idea at all.

Xiao Qian said: "Tomorrow the Empress Dowager invites him into the palace, and I promise to let him hand over the things."

Early the next morning, Miss Xiao Puxian ordered Li Chuwen to enter the palace immediately to discuss important matters.

Li Chuwen, Li Chuneng, and Li Xun discussed for a long time in the secret room of Li's residence.

Li Chuneng said: "Concubine Xiao De and Xiao Qian are both ruthless and scheming people, elder brother has to be on guard, I think it's better for you to continue complaining about illness, elder brother."

Li Chuwen smiled, and said: "Concubine Xiao De and Xiao Qian must be thinking about the handbook of Marshal Marshal in my hand, and want to force me to hand it over, don't worry, they only control the government, so they probably don't dare to poison me , let me go into the palace and have a look, what tricks do they have?"

Li Chuwen then entered the palace and came to the Linshui Hall on the bank of the Yaochi, and met Xiao Pu Xiannv.

And Xiao Qian is also here.

As soon as Li Chuwen saw Miss Xiao Puxian, he stepped forward quickly, then knelt down, and cried: "Your Majesty let go, the old minister was hit hard because of this, and he couldn't get sick. Today is better... The old minister, here is a copy of your Majesty's deathbed. The letter addressed to the old minister, the old minister dare not hide it privately, so I submit it to the Empress Dowager for disposal.” ——Speaking, Li Chuwen took out the letter from the Marshal of the Army and Horses from his bosom, and held it to Miss Xiao Puxian with both hands.

Li Chuwen's performance satisfied Miss Xiao Puxian very much. She smiled slightly and said, "Li Taiwei is old, so it is better to take care of his health. Let the juniors handle the complicated matters of the army and horses."

One day later, Miss Xiao Puxian accepted Xiao Qian as the privy envoy of the North and South Courts and the Grand Marshal of the soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers and horses in the world were under Xiao Qian's command.

Since then, the Northern Liao Dynasty entered the era of Xiao Pu Xiannv's rule, and she took the title of Empress Dowager as Empress...
