back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 871
But Yelu Hongji also knew that the border of Dashun was heavily guarded now, and the frontier troops were already ready to meet the enemy at any time.If he went out rashly, he might ask for trouble, but he was not reconciled.Think about his father, grandfather, who didn't beat Dashun to the ground?He asked himself that he was better than his father and grandfather in literary and martial arts, why couldn't he roam the grassland like them?

Perhaps the Khitan people have warlike genes in their blood.

Yelu Hongji thinks that Jurchen has been pacified and the cancer of the Liao Kingdom (Emperor Uncle Yelu Chongyuan) has been dealt with. The rise of the Liao Kingdom is unstoppable.How can the weak Han people be the opponents of the Khitan people?

Khitan cavalry, invincible in the world!
The ambitious Yelu Hongji began to prepare for the southward invasion.

Of course, you still have to ask the opinions of the courtiers. If the Khitan nobles don't support it and don't send troops, he will not dare to fight even if he wants to fight alone.After sending out all the palace tent troops, what if there is another Luanhe Rebellion?There is a saying that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.Yelu Hongji didn't dare to take this risk again. If Dashun was not defeated, and he lost the throne instead, the loss would not be worth the gain.

Yelu Hongji called Yelu Yixin, the most trusted co-prefect of the Northern Academy, Deputy Privy Envoy, and asked, "I want to conquer Dashun in the south, what do you think?"

Yelu Yixin was taken aback by his words: "Your Majesty, the Jurchen army has not yet withdrawn. Although there are 40 palace tent troops, they are not enough to protect His Majesty. Why did Your Majesty take the risk and attack Dashun?"

After hearing this, Yelu Hongji was a little moved.Why did he wait to see Yelv Yixin?Isn't it because Yelv Yixin thinks about him everywhere, and thinks about problems from his perspective.But Yelu Hongji would not know that once Shunliao started the war, the discussion field would definitely be closed again.Yelv Yixin's biggest source of wealth now is the market.Yelv Yixin took advantage of his position and power to steal a lot of money secretly.

People's greed is endless. With 50 guan, think of 100, [-]; with [-], think of [-], [-] million... Anyway, it's like a bottomless pit, no matter what you can't fill it.

Of course, this money Yelu Yixin was not taken for nothing, but was sold to Dashun at the price of the most confidential information of the Liao Kingdom.

It is his skill to have a treacherous minister like Yelu Yixin.

"But the more Dashun recuperates, the more uncomfortable I feel?"

Yelu Hongji is worthy of being the king of a country, and when looking at the problem, he saw the most critical point at once.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. Dashun has a lot of money, but it doesn't have the corresponding force to protect it. In my opinion, Daliao, it's completely defenseless. As for raising sheep, they have to be fattened before slaughtering. Why don't we conquer Dashun?" Take a rest for a few years and start fighting again?" Yelu Yixin said cautiously, for fear of arousing Yelu Hongji's competitive spirit.

Yelu Hongji thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "It makes sense, it makes sense. The Qing family is loyal to the country, and I am so relieved! Come here, give the deputy envoy a string of pearls, this is the Jurchens Each of the Dongzhu presented just now can walk dozens of times on the plate, which is rare!"

"My lord, thank you for your generous reward!"

After Yelu Yixin came out of the Dragon Eyebrow Palace, Yelu Yixin said in his heart: "No, I must interfere with the good deeds of that stupid king, and we must not close the discussion room!" Thinking of this, Yelu Yixin stepped on a fine horse, raised his whip and drank, Then galloped out.

After returning to the mansion, Yelu Yixin asked his confidant to invite the spy from the Supervision Department from Dashun to pretend to be "Ye Xianglang" and meet at the back door of his mansion at midnight tonight.

At midnight, Yelv Yixin was already waiting in the backyard.

Suddenly, there were two long knocks and three short knocks on the door from behind the closed door, and then someone said in vague Khitan dialect: "Yexiang is harvested..."

Yelu Yixin hastily opened the door, letting the man sneak into the mansion.

"Privy envoy, what's the point of finding a villain?"

The man said respectfully, but in fact there was no respect at all in his actions. He poured tea carelessly towards a stone bench in the backyard.

"Yelu Hongji wants to invade the south!"

Yelu Yixin lowered his voice very low, for fear of being heard by others.

"puff!!!!!"

The man had just taken a sip of tea, the Khitan man's tea was mixed with mare's milk, which already had a fishy smell, but as soon as these words came out, the man spit out.

"What?! Is the source of the news accurate? When will we set off? How many people are there? Who is the coach?"

Yelu Yixin shook his head and said, "Yelu Hongji asked me to ask questions because he had this idea, but I discouraged him."

The man pondered for a while, and said: "Yelu Hongji has great ambition and talent, and he is very happy with his achievements, so we must guard against it."

Yelv Yixin nodded, and said: "That's right, a mere Jurchen, he also has to hold grudges in his heart, conquering for ten years, wasting national power in vain. In the end, both sides will suffer, but he still wants to fight Dashun, he is really mad!"

"Does the privy envoy have a clever plan to prevent Yelu Hongji from going crazy?"

"It's not impossible, it just needs your cooperation."

Yelu Yixin has a lot of ghost ideas, and he can think of them in the blink of an eye, let alone think about it all day.

"I'm waiting among the people, and the privy envoy is in the hall, how can we cooperate?" the man asked inexplicably.

"Yelu Hongji is afraid of Empress Dowager Xiao, we can start from this aspect. You spread rumors among the people, saying that the 'Luanhe Rebellion' was not the work of Yelu Renxian and Yeluliang, but that Empress Dowager Xiao took control of the overall situation to protect Yelu Hong Ji was in danger and could keep the throne..." Yelu Yixin is indeed an expert in conspiracy, but he thought of this poisonous plan to sow discord in a single day.

"Empress Dowager Xiao is Yelu Hongji's biological mother, can this... be done?" The man obviously didn't have much experience in court struggles, and the words he asked exposed his background.

"Hmph, there has long been no relationship between father and son in the heavenly family. If Yelu Hongji became suspicious, how could he care about invading the South? Empress Dowager Xiao can unscrupulously mobilize the palace tent army, so what is Yelu Hongji?" What? If Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to change the emperor, wouldn't Yelu Hongji be arrested without a fight?" Yelu Yixin said coldly.

"...I understand. You will see the result tomorrow." The man said, "It's getting late, and if I don't go out, people will be suspicious."

"En." Yelv Yixin was still thinking about the key point, and responded noncommittally.

The man put down his teacup, looked at Yelu Yixin who was still in deep thought with deep eyes, and said in his heart: "This man is doing harm to the Liao Kingdom. Whoever offends him will die without a place to bury him? The viciousness is even worse than that of the Supervision Department, it is terrifying!"

Thinking of this, he swiftly carried the "Yexiang" that his servants had prepared long ago onto the wheelbarrow, and pushed it away crookedly with a creaking sound.
