Yang Dagon didn't dare to agree to admonish Xiao Siwen. He recently asked Xiao Siwen for something important, so how could he dare to disobey?
After coming out of the Yelv Xianzhen Mansion, Yang Dang returned to a simple tent. His wife Xiao and his son got out of the tent with a bent over. They looked a little anxious and said in Khitan, "My husband, you are finally back."
Yang Dagon also bent over and got into the tent. His son came over with cheese tea, and his wife Xiao eagerly said: "Yelü Dilie has been here. He didn't see her husband, so he said something to me. Di Lie said that several leaders agreed to reinstate the husband and the ruler and restore the fief..."
"I know, I know." Seeing his wife's expression, Yang Dagon became anxious, "Tell me what I don't know."
The wife said: "Everyone wrote memorials and asked Da Khan to agree, but he was sent back by Da Khan! Di Lie said, the person who refused everyone's request was Xiao Siwen, and he could not help..."
"What?!" Yang Dagon was suddenly stunned.
The wife thought he did not understand, and repeated: "The husband cannot be reinstated because Xiao Gong disagrees!"
Yang Dagon suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I was wrong! A big mistake!"
At this time, the past twenty years have come to Yang Dagon's heart one by one, and now he has to sort it out again.
Yang Dagon is a Khitan born in the land of Yanyun. Since the Tang Dynasty, many Khitan people have admired the high gates of the Central Plains, so they have Han surnames (such as modern countries often have English names), especially the Khitan people living in Hebei This kind of atmosphere is more prosperous, and Yang Dagon is one of them. At first, he followed Yelu Deguang (Liao Taizong), the second emperor of the Liao Dynasty, to fight in the north and south, and was well appreciated, so he was named Yeludilu in Khitan; he was able to marry a woman from the Xiao family, who was the gate of the queen. The prime ministers and queens of all dynasties came from Xiao Clan.
This is the problem!
The root cause of the civil strife in Daliao for decades is the struggle between the two lines of Liao Taizong and Liao Yizong, both of whom were the sons of the founding Tai|Ancestor. The Taizong of the Liao Dynasty whom Yang Dagon followed and the assassinated "tyrant|jun" Yelujing belonged to the line of Taizong of the Liao Dynasty; and the current Dahan Yelvxian belonged to the line of Yizong, and Xiao Siwen and others were also in line with Yizong The relationship is deeper.
Yang Dagon was a general under Taizong's subordinates. After the "tyrant|jun" Yelujing succeeded to the throne, Yang Dagon was also one of Yelvjing's confidants, and was once a hot imperial celebrity.
But royal power|power struggles with impermanence. A few years ago, Yelujing was stabbed|to death, and Yelujing carried a **** pot. The loss of Youzhou and the decline of the country are all his responsibilities... Yang Dang is finished. However, the person who knows the current affairs is a junjie, he invested in Xiao Siwen early and was able to save it.
Yelüxian ascended the throne, Xiao Simwen and Yelv Xiezhen, etc., formed the power center, purged a group of "tyrant|jun" factions in order to prevent others; but obviously it is impossible to eliminate all dissidents, because Taizong has been in power for many years , The party feathers are scattered all over the Daliao province, and it is impossible to kill them all. If they are too ruthless, they will hurt the bones.
So Xiao Siwen needs to win over most of Taizong's people, and Yang Dagon is one of them.
Yang Dagon was still cautious at the beginning. When he was defeated in the Battle of Pingxia, Xiao Siwen saved his life by arguing. Yang Dagon completely believed in Xiao Siwen's sincerity...
But now, it seems obviously not what Yang Dagon thought.
Yang Dagon was sitting in front of the shabby wooden table. The milk tea in the ceramic bowl in front of him was almost cold. He stared at the milk tea dreamily, shaking his head unceasingly.
Shaw never trusted him! Saving Yang Dagon’s life was for others to see and show his posture; perhaps, there is some reason to appreciate his talent? But... Xiao Siwen didn't want people like Yang Dagon to re-enter the dynasty to take real power!
At this time, his eyes lit up and his wife came in from outside the tent again. She cleaned up the ceramic bowl on the table and asked: "Is Xiao Gong going to have trouble with our family?"
Yang Dagon came back to his senses and shook his head and said: "It is also a mess that Xiao Gong took over. It is not easy for him. I can understand his intentions. In any case, Xiao Gong saved my life."
That said, Yang Dagon's face was still full of loss and helplessness. He sighed, "It's better to die than to live!"
A few days later, Fan Zhongyi returned to Beijing.
A few people first discussed matters at Xiao Siwen's mansion, and Yang Dagon was also invited. There was no hope for the official to resume his post. Yang Dagon remembered what Yelv Xiezhen had said, so he might as well sell his love to Yelu Xiezhen, and he persuaded Xiao Simwen on the spot.
Of course it's not very useful. Yang Dagon has no real power. He can make suggestions, but he can't decide anything.
...The next day, on the hills in the capital of Daliao, a group of important court officials discussed important matters in front of Da Khan.
This hall looks very old. Several emperors are here, and the dirt in those corners may be solidified blood!
Emperor Yelvxian is eighteen years old, but his figure is still thin, and his body seems to be not very good. But Ye Luxian was sitting on a big tiger-skin chair, and his posture was much more natural than when he first took the throne. He held a scepter in his right hand, and put his left elbow on the arm of the chair. He supported his head with his palm and looked down at the Minister, his eyes were gentle and tolerant, and he looked humbly accepting advice.
Xiao Siwen, who stood closest to the throne, said: "Let Fan Zhongyi, an official of the Northern Court, tell the story of Xu Guo first."
Fan Zhongyi stood up, his expression excited, but deliberately suppressed, after all, he was facing the highest ruler of the Liao Dynasty | He gave up holding his fists, pressed his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to the person in the chair.
"Fan Mansion has nothing to say." Yelvxian's voice said.
The sweat actually spoke to him! Fan Zhongyi's voice trembled a little: "Yes, sweat profusely."
Fan Zhongyi straightened up a little, and said in a Khitan with an improper accent: "Xu Guopu | Emperor Guo Shao was poisoned in his body and had no medicine to cure. He ignored the court for several months, during which he fainted during his lunch. Life is at stake.
Guo Shao has two princes, both of whom are several years old; the queen Fu clan governs the country. The queen is the daughter of Fu Yanqing, a big family in Hebei. Although the Fu family is powerful, it stops in Hebei and cannot hold Tokyo. Xu Guozhu's weak ministers have become strong.
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains changed its dynasty five times, and all the generals of the army took advantage of the decline of the royal family to usurp the throne, and Xu Guopu|Emperor Guo Shao did the same. Therefore, Guo Shao was afraid of it, in order to eliminate the armed generals and take precautions.
The founding father Li Chuyun was poisoned to death, Luo Yanhuan, the protector of the country, was |forced to kill him, and Shouzhou defender Guo|jin was killed by his subordinates to claim credit. Nearly 10,000 people below the prime minister's quality were implicated, and countless dead! "
Fan Zhongyi stopped the general situation, and he took a sigh of relief and continued, "The bloodbath is far from over. Hedong Yangye, Wuzhou Gao Yanjian, Pingzhou Liu Renzhan, all in the south , Must be cleared.
Yang Ye and Zhe Dexuan are relatives by marriage, and these two are the first to deal with after Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan.
Zhe Demei’s family members are in Tokyo. Most of the old divisions were disbanded and scattered. The Pingxia army under his command was all ‘guards’. The soldiers’ homes were in the country, so it was difficult to get up and the threat was relatively small. Therefore, Guo Shao wanted to plant the prestige first, and then implicate Yang Ye to get rid of it!
In late July, Guo Shao summoned Yang Ye and Zhe Dehu into Beijing at the same time. Yang Ye approached the road and went to Tokyo first; Zhe Dexie hadn't arrived yet, but due to lack of facts, the court of Xu Guo was not afraid of it.
When it was, Zhe Demin saw the clues and informed Yang Ye that Tokyo had conspired a big trap! Governor Xu Shi Zhouduan will be charged with a felony, and then: put to death the protector of the country, Luo Yanhuan, who has admitted to colluding with Zhou Duan; implicate the stolen goods, and harm his in-law Yang Ye.
Yang Ye was skeptical, and found that Zhou Duan was suddenly convicted of conspiracy. Yang Ye made a decisive decision, suddenly abandoning his ceremonial entourage, ditching the work that monitored him, and escaped from the cart.
Because the court of Xu Guo didn't dare to arrest Yang Ye without name and reason, and because Xu Guowenwu of Hedong Qianying Military Mansion had not prepared properly, it was unexpected that Yang Ye would discover the conspiracy so early. Suddenly, the court of Xu Guo was caught off guard, and Yang Ye was able to escape back to Hedong. "
Fan Zhongyi paused and said, "At this point in the conspiracy, an accident occurred. After Yang Ye returned to Hedong, he immediately summoned the former camp military officials to supervise the army on the grounds that the Liao army harassed Hedong; then before the blockade Battalion Army House.
Most generals of the Hedong Army were soldiers and generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty). Yang Ye was a veteran of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was very famous and had a way to destroy the power of Xu’s imperial court and instigate the orders of Hedong tribes.
The situation is serious at this point. Of course, the court of Xu State was unwilling to raise troops to conspire against Yang Ye, otherwise internal friction would damage the national strength and it would take more time. The pseudo|Emperor Guo Shao is in ill health and is in danger. Time delays and cannot continue to deal with other threats. At the same time, the counterinsurgent generals get the power to go out, which may cause hidden dangers when the power of Tokyo is replaced.
The court of Xu Guo immediately dispatched the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the assistant minister of the cabinet Lu Duoxun, and went to Daizhou, Hedong, to negotiate a peace with Yang Ye.
Yang Ye should be very hesitant at this time. On the one hand, escaping and blocking the former camp military mansion had already violated the law, and had torn his face with the court. If he compromised, he might be liquidated by the Autumn Queen. Very worried and afraid in my heart!
On the other hand, if he raises troops, his chances of winning are not great. Although the Hedong Army was slightly inferior to Xu’s Forbidden Army, it was also the most powerful force among the previous nations; however, when the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed, the morale of the soldiers of the Hedong Army in the civil war was bound to fail... Once the counterinsurgency broke out, Yang Ye worried about the internal Soldiers will be bought, persuaded to surrender, and fight unintentionally. Li Jun and Guo Jin recently conspired and were all killed by his subordinates who asked for credit. Yang Ye had to guard. "
Fan Zhongyi exhaled: "What we worry most now is that Yang Ye and the court reached a compromise. Yang Ye would choose to sacrifice his life and save his family. The generals of Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan died before, and Guo Shao did the same. Leave room."
At this moment, a Khitan nobleman said loudly: "Fan's residence will not be over after a trip to Hedong, so he knows so clearly? It sounds as if you have seen those things with your own eyes, do you have evidence?" /
Fan Zhongyi turned around and said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes. The whole thing is a reasonable speculation. But we also have a lot of facts! Only by speculating like this, so many things can make sense; if you don't agree with this theory , I guessed it anew to explain what happened in Xu Guo."
