The Liao State was defeated in Xixia, but it was a bit miserable.
It not only ruined a group of soldiers who were able to conquer wars, but also ruined the wealth that the Liao Kingdom moved out of the Goryeo Palace.
More importantly, it ruined the invincible reputation of Liao.
Liao State can accept the first two.
But the latter is really unacceptable to Liao.
Once the invincible name is erected among the nations, the Liao Kingdom will be able to make the enemy three points fearful just by playing the banner of the Liao Kingdom's foreign wars.
But once the invincible name is gone, anyone can come out to provoke the authority of the hegemony of the Liao Kingdom.
Little Xixia can defeat the Liao State, what about the wealthy Da Song
Can you work hard and teach Liao to be a man
The Liao State defeated Xixia, and the Liao people felt uncomfortable as if they had been skinned.
If only they were inferior to others, they would definitely hide themselves from self-pity, but now Kou Ji revealed that Yelu Angkor had leaked the wind when the Liao State soldiers were in Xixia.
Then they can't tolerate it.
There is no need for anyone to mention something, they will subconsciously think.
The Liao State defeated Xixia, it is possible that Yelu Angkor had missed the wind and was known in advance by the Xixia people.
In this way, the Liao Kingdom will be defeated by Xixia.
Since someone has committed an unforgivable mistake, he must pay a heavy price for it.
What about the son of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he is not the eldest son of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he has done something wrong and must pay the price.
Almost all the Liao officials, after Kou Ji finished speaking, their eyes fell on the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
As the leader of the Khitan, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, he needs to give everyone an explanation.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu felt their thoughts in the eyes of the Liao officials, but he did not open the mouth to punish Yelu Angkor. Instead, he stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "You still didn’t tell me how did you know what I wanted. Did you use troops against Xixia? How did you know when we used troops? How did you infer the route of our march?"
In an instant, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu turned the first question into three questions.
Kou Ji did not go to Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu for questioning. He nodded and said: "When the foreign ministers discovered that your country was going to join forces with Qingtang and to use troops against Xixia, the foreign ministers carefully observed your country’s affairs. trend.
When he learned that His Majesty the Emperor of Liao led a 500,000 army on a hunting tour, the foreign minister knew that your country had sent troops.
The reason why the foreign minister was able to infer the marching route of your country's soldiers and horses was also inferred at this time.
Your country wants to attack Xixia, and enters the mountain in the name of hunting.
Then the only way your country can go is mountain roads.
The foreign minister only needs to find a few veterans who are proficient in marching speed, and calculate them to control the marching speed of your country's soldiers and horses in the mountains.
But at this time, the foreign minister was still not sure whether your country really wanted to attack Xixia.
Until there was a food shortage in Da Song.
Eighteen states, including Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, were simultaneously suffering from food shortages.
According to the foreign minister's investigation, there was no shortage of income in these 18 states, but there was a food shortage for no reason.
Something went wrong.
The foreign minister carefully inspected the transshipment situation in the eighteen states.
Eventually, evidence of food purchase in your country was discovered.
The answer to the purpose of your secret purchase of grain is obvious.
It is to serve as military rations.
At the same time, Da Song fell into the disaster of food shortage, which caused my Da Song to be unable to intervene when your country attacked Xixia.
Combining the above reasons, it is enough to infer that your country is going to attack Xixia. "
"Boom!"
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Yelvzong would like to take a picture of the case in front of him, and stand up angrily, staring at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was a little surprised.
I don't understand why Yelvzong wished to react so much suddenly.
Just now he mentioned that when Yelu Angkor had indirectly leaked the secrets of the Liao Kingdom's attack on Xixia, Yeluzong wished not to have such a big reaction.
Now when the issue of buying food is mentioned, Yelvzong is willing to suddenly react like this...
Could it be
Wouldn't it be so coincidental
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said with a calm face, faintly said: "I thought that Angkor was only exposed to the flaws in Song Ting, and you were aware of my intentions. But I did not expect that he had already exposed before then. Two flaws.
I allowed him to spend a lot of money to buy food, and I specially reminded him not to show his feet.
Unexpectedly, he still left the end and was caught. "
Kou Ji's eyes widened slightly.
He really guessed right.
The person in charge of buying food is actually Yelv Angkor.
Before Kou Ji could react, Yelv Zongyuan had already left the case station where he was sitting first, and kneeled in front of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and said sincerely: "The boy begs my father, and I can spare my fourth brother. Life."
Subsequently, several other elder princes of the Liao Kingdom also came out one after another to intercede for Yelu Angkor.
In addition, some tribesmen from Yelu Angkor's mother's family came out to intercede for him.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu ignored them. Instead, he stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Ji, I ask you, if someone in your Song Kingdom commits such a big mistake, what should I do?"
Kou Ji wanted to be surprised.
What do you do with your son and ask me
As the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's voice fell, everyone in Nabo's eyes fell on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Minzhong, asking for an off-site assistance.
Who knows that Xiang Minzhong, who is not ashamed, did not pay attention to him at all, but blatantly took advantage of the maid of Liao.
Damn it!
Lao Xiang, are you embarrassed and thrown abroad
Believe it or not, I wrote this paragraph of you in the book, spread it for thousands of years, and let posterity scold you to death
Xiang Minzhong is unreliable.
Kou Ji could only look at Wang Zeng. Wang Zeng only glanced at the direction where Liao Emperor Yelulongxu was, without saying a word.
But Kou Ji understood the meaning of Wang Zeng's eyes.
It was his power that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu wanted to deal with his son.
Kou Ji can't participate casually.
Kou Ji immediately handed his hands over: "Teach your majesty the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the foreign ministers are still in a shallow career, and I have never met such a person."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu kicked the ball to him, and he kicked it back smoothly.
In fact, what Kou Ji really wants to say, Kou Ji can also say to Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Judging from the urinary nature of the Song court, if a prince made such a mistake, he would basically not die, maybe he would still live very well.
Why
Because if this happens, someone below will definitely jump out and commit the crime for the prince.
Even if the officials knew that it was the fault of the prince, they would not force the emperor to kill his son.
The end result is that the scapegoat will die and the prince will live.
And it will live very well.
But these words, Kou Ji would not tell the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
How the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu dealt with Yelu Angkor had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, Yelu Angkor had a hostile relationship with him. Before he spoke, he had already thought about pitting Yelu Angkor.
If Yelu Angkor was really killed by the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu's anger, he would be satisfied.
How could he speak for Yelu Angkor.
Seeing Kou Ji kick the ball back, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said in a deep voice, "Come here!"
"Your Majesty wait a minute..."
Just when the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was about to order the death of Yelu Angkor.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, Empress of the Liao Dynasty, spoke softly. She looked at Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and persuaded: "Your Majesty’s sons are not prosperous. Every one of them is hard-won and cannot be easily broken. Moreover, today it is only the bone (the true Khitan name of Yelvzong). It is not suitable to kill on your birthday."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu snorted coldly, and yelled: "This rebellious son has committed such a big mistake and don't kill him, how can I explain to the Manchu civil and military affairs?"
Shun Sheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin squeezed out a smiling face and whispered: "It's better to demote him as a herder, collect the money from his mother's clan, and distribute it to the Qidan eight..."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu squeezed his brows when he heard the words of Shun Sheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin.
He felt that Xiao Yujin, the concubine of Shun Shengyuan, became more and more arrogant in front of him, and frequently interfered in the affairs of the court. He did not put the Queen Xiao Bossa in his eyes at all, and faintly acted as a queen.
This made Liao Emperor Yelulongxu very unhappy.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had planned to listen to Xiao Bodhisattva's words, and let Yelu Angkor a horse.
But after hearing the words of Shun Sheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin, he decided to kill.
"Come here! Take the Yelu Angkor for me, put on shackles and locks, parade for three days, and beheaded to show the public after three days."
When Xiang Minzhong, Wang Zeng, Kou Ji and other Song Chen heard this, their eyes widened.
They find it unbelievable.
Yelu Angkor is his own son, not his nephew.
He said to kill and kill, how cruel it should be.
When the Liao officials heard the words of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, they also felt a little weird.
They originally thought that the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu would use Xiao Bodhisattva's words to follow the boat and let Yelu Angkor a horse. They did not expect that the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu would actually kill.
For an instant.
Those Liao officials who were staring at the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and prepared to ask for an explanation, were like quail, withdrawn into the case.
This kind of people who are not merciless in killing their sons will not be merciless in killing them.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was not an emperor like Zhao Heng, and he had to discuss everything with hundreds of officials.
He holds the power of life and death for everyone in the Liao Kingdom.
"Your Majesty..."
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva after the Liao Dynasty is ready to continue to persuade.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu interrupted him rudely, and said coldly: "You don't have to beg for mercy, my will has been decided."
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng couldn't sit still.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really cut off Yelu Angkor's words because of Kou Ji's words.
Then their situation in the Liao Kingdom is not good.
Those who are qualified to enter the palace of Liao Emperor Yelulongxu to help him give birth to a son.
His mother clan is in the Liao country and must have a lot of power.
Sending a soldier and horse to kill them on their return journey is easy.
"Your majesty, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the foreign minister thinks that this is wrong."
"The foreign minister also thought that this was wrong."
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng left their seats one after another and bowed their hands in salute.
Xiang Minzhong bluntly said: "As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat its children. His Majesty the Emperor of Liao should be kind to his children. When they make mistakes, you should teach them instead of killing them."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Xiang Minzhong, and said solemnly: "Gong Xiang, I know that tiger poison does not eat children. But I also know that you Song people, there is another sentence, called the emperor's violation of the law, and the common people Same crime."
Wang Zeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao, killing the prince arrogantly is a great taboo of the royal family. The former Tang Taizong Li Shimin killed his brothers and disciples to kill his children, and finally let the hundreds of years of the Tang Dynasty pass on in the killing. "
Liao Emperor Yelulong heard the words and said in a deep voice: "The lord, a foreign minister, can speak such heartfelt words for me, and I am very relieved. But since I became the throne, it has gone through dozens of years. distinct.
I can't break my rule of governing Daliao just because he is my son. "
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng still have to speak.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu interrupted them forcefully, saying: "The kindness of the two, I have taken it with my heart. When the two return, I will definitely give them a generous gift. But after all, the two are foreign ministers and are not suitable. Intervene in the affairs of our Liao Dynasty."
Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng opened their mouths, and finally had to shut their mouths again.
Then both of them glared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji looked at the expressions of both of them with a look of confusion.
I tried my best to let Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu kill his son, but you have to protect him
Is there something profound in this
Kou Ji thought twice and decided to follow the thoughts of Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng.
Although I don't know what the meaning of the two of them is.
But for them to show such a look, presumably the life of Yelu Angkor is very important to them.
Kou Ji has time to kill Yelu Angkor, so there is no need to rush for a while.
Immediately, Kou Ji said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao Kingdom, Shicai, you ask the foreign minister how to deal with this kind of thing if I encounter this kind of thing. The foreign minister answered that he didn't know.
But the foreign minister thought about it carefully just now, and remembered my story about King Chao Chu. "
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was taken aback, and the Manchu dynasty of the Liao Kingdom was also taken aback.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu pondered for one or two, and said: "But the old story of Song Tingchu King Zhao Yuanzuo burning the East Palace?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Yes... I made a terrible mistake against King Chu, but Emperor Taizong still missed the friendship between father and son and spared him his life."
Liao Emperor Yelulong heard the words and stared at Kou Ji and said, "You want to tell me that you should also think about the friendship between father and son and spare Angkor's life?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's eyes lingered on Kou Ji for a while, and said slowly: "Then I will listen to you, forgive Angkor's life, derogate him as a commoner, and confine him in the capital."
As soon as this remark came out.
Everyone in Nabo was stunned.
The Manchu civil and military, including the queen, the prince, the concubine Shun Sheng Yuan, and the two kings of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, who admired them, did not persuade the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.
But when Kou Ji spoke, he had persuaded Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Even Kou Ji himself was stunned.
He just followed the thoughts of Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng and casually persuaded them.
Unexpectedly, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu actually listened to him.
This is too much face, right
It feels unreal to give face.
Could it be that Kou Li's unreliable father was actually the brother of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu who lived in the Song Dynasty
As soon as this idea came out of Kou Ji's head, it was quickly thrown out of his mind.
This idea is too absurd and obviously unreasonable.
So why did Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu give him such a face
