The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 314 Provoking Discord
"How to sow discord?"

Ye Luxian looked at Li Yin and asked again, Li Yin hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Actually, it's easy to sow discord, just create a rift between them."

"Then how to create a gap between their monarchs and ministers?"

"Send a letter to Liu Jiyuan."

After listening to Li Yin's words, Ye Luxian nodded. He also felt that it was time to send a letter to Liu Jiyuan, but they needed to do one thing before sending the letter, and that was to start a war against the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is already November, and the weather in the north is extremely cold.

Liu Jiyuan's bedroom is as warm as spring, but his favorite thing to do every day is still playing with his concubine there, he always enjoys such games.

He thinks that in this world, what makes the country rich and powerful and the people live and work in peace and contentment is imaginary. He only thinks that life should be enjoyed and happy, and life is in a hurry. Why not live a more chic and nourishing life?
What later generations commented, recorded in historical books, what does that have to do with him?
He doesn't care what the historian says about him, as long as he is happy and free.

But when he was happy and free, a eunuch ran in in a hurry and almost bumped into his concubine. If he wasn't a eunuch, Liu Jiyuan felt that he must turn him into a eunuch.

"What happened, why are you so panicked?"

"Your Majesty, no... it's not good, the Liao Kingdom has used troops against us in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the ministers... are all waiting outside the palace."

"What?" Liu Jiyuan was a little surprised and terrified. All his happiness and freedom were based on the fact that the Northern Han Dynasty had always been in his hands. The survival of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Go to court." Liu Jiyuan didn't care about playing with the concubines anymore. After he put on the dragon robe, he hurried to the main hall.

The cold wind was heavy, and there was an indescribable coldness in the hall.

"The Liao people attacked us in the Northern Han Dynasty. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Returning to the Holy One, the Liao people attacked me, and their intentions are clearly revealed. I, the Northern Han Dynasty, are not their opponents. Why not send someone to sue for peace." A civil servant stood up and suggested.

Liu Jiyuan didn't speak, but thought in his heart, it's not impossible to ask for peace, but would the Liao people be willing to ask for peace?
Just when Liu Jiyuan was thinking this way, Liu Jiye suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to seek peace. Our Northern Han Dynasty has been fighting with neighboring countries for many years, and our financial resources are insufficient. If the Liao people harass our border, we will seek peace. And, then my Northern Han will only get weaker and weaker, while the enemy is getting stronger, and when the enemy is getting stronger, it is time for them to annex us."

Liu Jiye's words were so strong that the whole hall echoed his words.

It was not that the Northern Han Dynasty did not have the main fighters, so when Liu Jiye finished speaking, those main fighters all expressed that they would fight the Liao people.

Liu Jiyuan frowned slightly, and said, "Is there a chance of winning the battle with the Liao people?"

"Although the Liao people cannot be destroyed, it is enough to prevent the Liao people from entering our Northern Han Dynasty."

Keeping the gate of the country is victory. This is the policy that the Northern Han Dynasty has always implemented. They are weak and never thought of conquering other countries in the past. They just want to defend their own inherent territory.

Although Liu Jiyuan was greedy for pleasure, he also felt that what Liu Jiye said was reasonable, so he looked at the courtiers and asked, "Who is going to fight?"

The scholar in the court wanted to speak again, but he could see Liu Jiyuan's appearance and the anger of the military commander in the court, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

"The minister is willing to lead the army to fight against the attack of the Liao Kingdom." Liu Jiye stepped forward. He has always been the one who has fought against the Liao people, and he also hopes to fight against the Liao people most.

The Liao people occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun of the Han people, and even included the Great Wall. This was the most unbearable thing for him. Without growth, those foreign tribes could invade the Central Plains at will, which was simply a disaster for them.

For a long time, he wanted to take back Yanyun Sixteen States.

Facing Liu Jiye, Liu Jiyuan nodded. In the entire Northern Han Dynasty, only Liu Jiyuan could resist the Liao people.

After the order was issued, Liu Jiye immediately went to gather troops and horses, preparing to go north tomorrow to fight the Liao people.

And at dusk that day, Li Yin's letter quietly entered Taiyuan City.

It's just that although the letter entered Taiyuan City, it was not sent to the palace, but to Liu Jiye's mansion. It's just strange that before the letter was delivered to Liu Jiye's mansion, it was robbed by a spy .

The spy is Liu Jiyuan's spy.

In fact, Liu Jiyuan has always trusted Liu Jiye, but Liu Jiye's contribution is too high, and some civil servants often speak ill of Liu Jiye in Liu Jiyuan's ear, or ask Liu Jiyuan to beware of Liu Jiye.

Liu Jiye is the emperor, and the emperor is usually very suspicious. Although he doesn't have much Liu Jiye, it is possible to send a spy to monitor Liu Jiye, and this matter has already been inquired by the Liao people.

The letter was sent to the palace.

In the imperial study room, Liu Jiyuan snorted coldly after seeing the letter: "Damn it, it's really hateful, I trust you so much, but you want to betray me and take tens of thousands of my soldiers to join the Liao people. Jiye, Jiye, you have disappointed me so much."

After saying this, Liu Jiyuan immediately ordered: "Come here, pass on my will, and order Zhang Gu to lead the army to go out, and Liu Jiye will stay in the capital. I will use it."

Although Liu Jiyuan was furious after reading that letter, he had an indescribable trust in Liu Jiye. He didn't think Liu Jiye would really betray him, so although he didn't send Liu Jiye to fight the Liao people, he didn't. He was not punished, the capital is an important place in the capital, and letting him stay behind will not arouse his suspicion.
-
When Liu Jiyuan's imperial edict was delivered to Liu Jiye's mansion, Liu Jiye was telling his wife, She Saihua, to take care of the mansion after he left, and if there was anything to do, he could handle it by himself.

She Saihua is in her 40s at this time, but she still has a charming charm, and she has a heroine that is rarely seen in women.

She naturally nodded in response to her husband Liu Jiye's words, but she also had some words to tell Liu Jiye, such as not being impulsive when encountering an enemy, and not chasing the poor.

And just when the husband and wife entrusted each other like this, the imperial decree came.

When the imperial decree was issued, both of them were taken aback, but they didn't show any emotion in front of the eunuch who passed the decree. After receiving the imperial decree, after the eunuch left, She Saihua snorted coldly: "What do you mean by this, my lord? It's about to go to war, but he suddenly replaced you, I think he clearly doesn't trust you, our Holy Majesty, we don't have any skills, and we are very suspicious."

She Saihua was very dissatisfied with Liu Jiyuan. She originally wanted to say that she should not care about the mess of the Northern Han Dynasty, but she knew her husband very well. Did not say it.

Liu Jiye frowned. The emperor had always trusted him. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his mind this time.

"Ma'am, this matter is very strange. The Holy Majesty has never done this to me. Now, when the Northern Han Dynasty is alive and dead, why is he doing this?"

At this time, She Saihua had calmed down, she frowned slightly, and said: "I'm afraid the Holy One has heard some slander, otherwise, how could it be so?"

calumny?

Liu Jiye felt that his wife's analysis was very reasonable, but in the entire Northern Han Dynasty, who would dare to make such slanderous claims? Could it be that after the Liao people wiped out the Northern Han Dynasty, could they survive?

At this moment, Liu Jiye was a little anxious. He knew Zhang Gu's abilities. Although he was considered a fierce general in the Northern Han Dynasty, he was not as capable as a soldier. He might be able to win once or twice in a confrontation with the Liao people. It is impossible to resist the attack of the Liao people.

If Zhang Guzhen went to lead the army, it would be a disaster for the whole Northern Han Dynasty.

"Ma'am, what should we do now? Why don't we go to see the Holy Majesty for my husband, Chen Ming has a strong relationship, and lead the army again?"

She Saihua pondered for a moment, and said: "My husband, don't worry. There is a turning point in this matter. The Northern Han Dynasty will not perish. But my husband, you should not go to see the Holy One. The Holy One will not let you go out because he is afraid of you. If you ask, it will make the Holy One feel that you Is there really any disobedience, how can this be a good thing? As long as you can save your life, why worry about not having a chance?"

"This..." Liu Jiye is sometimes very foolish and loyal, and he can't turn his head around. Hearing his wife's words, he is somewhat unhappy. Understand the seriousness of things.

"I know what my husband thinks, but if it's useless and hurts me, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? If I say there is a turning point, there will be a turning point."

Liu Jiye is still very confident in his wife. Hearing what his wife said, he quickly asked, "Madam, how can I turn things around?"

"Nowadays, there are soldiers and horses from the Song Dynasty in the south of the Northern Han Dynasty. If the Liao people attack our Northern Han Dynasty, what do you think will happen to the Song people?"

"Song people have always wanted to destroy my Northern Han Dynasty, so they should take advantage of the fire to rob me?"

She Saihua shook her head: "Song people are powerful, they don't bother to do things like taking advantage of the fire, and what they want is our entire Northern Han Dynasty, they won't watch our Northern Han Dynasty fall into the hands of the Khitan people, if my expectations are not bad, When the Liao people fought against us in the Northern Han Dynasty, there should have been movement from the Song people."

Liu Jiye was silent for a moment, and said, "Madam, what do Song people think?"

"Most likely they will cooperate with our Northern Han Dynasty. They don't want to see the entire Northern Han Dynasty fall into the hands of the Liao people. This will not be a good thing for them to recover the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."

After listening to his wife's words, Liu Jiye somewhat understood the current situation, but he vaguely felt that it was not an easy task for the Song people to help them defend the Northern Han against the Liao people's attack.

The Liao people were ambitious, but the Song people were not so ambitious?
If they don't get some benefits from Beihan, how can they make a move?
