Three hundred and seventieth eight chapters wind and clouds
Brother Zhao Zhong did not encounter any difficulties when breaking through. After all, this is just the prince's mansion. Although Prince Yelu Jun is the only heir to the throne of the Liao Kingdom, its importance is far from reaching the procedure of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom. Ten years ago, Brother Zhao Zhong broke into the palace in a grief and angry manner and still could still retreat safely, so naturally he would not fall here. However, his ability to retreat so smoothly is because Yelu Yixin is too powerful, and there are also some capable people in Liao Kingdom. Brother Zhao Zhong is not so arrogant that he thinks that he is unrivaled in the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention Xiao Hugu, who has died of illness, the martial arts level of several Khitans is similar to his, but he has not been deployed here.
When the prince's guards found his figure, they could no longer form a siege, and it was impossible for him to pose a threat. In addition to quickly resolving several stumbling blocks along the way, Brother Zhao Zhong quickly came outside the courtyard wall. Looking at the burning prince's mansion, his anger that had been in his heart for almost ten years finally dissipated a lot. He turned around and quickly marched towards the pre-arranged retreat route.
After seeing Brother Zhao Zhong, Nie Xin and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. This step was the most dangerous thing in the whole plan. As long as you pass this level, you will be talking nonsense. If Brother Zhao Zhong exposed his identity, the Liao Kingdom's intelligence network would also lose a lot, at least there will be no spies like Ma Renhua.
When Ma Renhua, Zhao Zhongge and others set up a banquet in the house to celebrate, the entire prince's mansion was in chaos, and the flames of the prince's mansion also alarmed the palace. Yelu Hongji actually valued this only son very much. After all, he was in his thirties. Even if he was born to the inheritance army, he was still young and would inevitably have something like the heroine. This is definitely not a good thing for the country. When the eunuch sent an eunuch to inquire, he found that the situation here was much more serious than expected. After listening to the eunuch's report, Yelu Hongji was shocked and rushed to the prince's mansion immediately. Under the heavy escort, the only one he saw was Yelu Jun's cold body, and Xiao Su and the slut Xi were killed at the same time. These two people, Xiao Su, were the Privy Councilors. Xiao Xigang was Lin Ya, and their official positions also had a place in the top leaders of the Liao Kingdom.
Yelu Hongji was no longer interested in thinking about why Xiao Su and Xiao Xi appeared in the prince's mansion. In fact, he knew very well that Yelu Yixin and the prince had caused the political forces in Liao to be divided into two distinct factions, and Xiao Su and Xiao Xi were both people who had Yelu Yixin in the Liyuan Garden, so they naturally stood on the side of the prince. This death was a pure coincidence.
Yelu Hongji lost his only son. Although he was still in his prime, the beauties of the palace were more fulfilling than those of the emperors of the Southern Dynasty. However, Yelu Jun's talent was also highly praised. Otherwise, he would not have been inquired about such things as Yelu Jun dismissing more than a dozen suspenses in a day after regent. Now that Yelu Jun died, he was just filled with anger in his heart - he wanted to use blood to calm his anger - after Yelu Hongji got up from his son's body, his first order was to kill all the guards and palace maids in the prince's mansion!
Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie could not have known about such a big thing. After the Prince's Mansion caught fire, they and Yelu Hongji received news that the Prince Yelu Jun and the Prince's Dao and the Prince's Grandson were assassinated. Although Yelu Yixin loves money, he is a very capable person. After decades of ups and downs and downs, how could he not know that this incident was actually dangerous and unpredictable for him! Yelu Yixin immediately stamped his feet and said hatred: "Who dares to bully someone like this?" Such behavior made the confidants next to him feel very puzzled, but Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie did not hesitate at all and immediately went to the Prince's Mansion.
When Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie came to the Prince's Mansion, when Emperor Yelu Hongji was angry, he wanted to execute all the guards and palace maids of the Prince's Mansion. Zhang Xiaojie immediately walked forward and said, "Sir, please calm down! Now the murderer is running away. The poor protection of the Prince's Mansion caused the prince, the Prince Dao and the Prince's Mansion to die. However, the Prince's Mansion has always been tightly defended. It is still unknown whether there are spies in the middle and assassins. The Prince should detain them for strict interrogation and then make it clear that right and wrong!"
After hearing this, Yelu Yixin immediately made a judgment in his heart - no matter what, the prince died, although he was the one who wanted the prince's life the most, the prince was assassinated. He could imagine that the bullet chapters written by his opponents would drown him by dawn tomorrow. It would be impossible to waste him when the emperor was so sad and angry. The best way was to leave the life of the prince's mansion guards, and he could deal with his opponents after being beaten up.
Yelu Yixin nodded when he looked at Zhang Xiaojie and looked at Yelu Hongji who was about to get angry next to him. He immediately stood up and said, "Master Zhang said so much. The Majesty should now issue an order to detain the people in the Prince's Mansion and investigate them before making a decision, otherwise he would let the villain succeed!"
Yelu Hongji's eyes were red, and he could imagine how angry he was in his heart at this moment, but Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin were his closest ministers. In the ninth year of Xianyong, the ministers accompanied the emperor to have a banquet. He once said: "The late emperor appointed Yelu Renxian and Yelu Huage because they were both virtuous and intelligent. I have Xiaojie and Yixin, and their virtuousness are not as good as Renxian. I have indeed obtained talents!" These two people were praised by Yelu Hongji many times, and their trust procedures were extraordinary, not to mention Yelu Yixin praised his gangster Xiao Xiama's sister for being beautiful and virtuous, and was extremely favored by him as a concubine in the palace. Yelu Hongji could not give these two people face no matter how frightened or angry.
"According to the advice of the two public, all these guards and palace maids will be detained and the two public will be interrogated for strict trial. It is necessary to get who the assassin is!" Yelu Hongji said hatefully, and after that, he shook his sleeves and turned back to the palace.
After Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie saw Emperor Yelu Hongji leave, they stood up straight and looked at the messy scenes in the yard, and both smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Yelu Hongji is now in a state of rage. He is blinded by hatred. This assassination is the happiest thing for both of them, but now that things have happened, they feel even more crisis.
"Who would have hoped that the prince would die so much?" This question remained in the minds of many people, but they were puzzled. Among them, Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie were even more attached to the fog of five miles.
"Overall people think that Yelu Jun's death is not clean. After all, no one in the eyes of outsiders hopes that the prince will die more than them. Especially the prince's grandson also died. In this way, Yelu Hongji's lineage is basically an heir, and even if there is an heir, he will not be a descendant of the Xiao clan. In the long run, such a result is undoubtedly what Yelu Yixin hopes to get the most. If things are delayed for about a year, it will not cause too much storm. After all, it is very easy for Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Yixin to control the government and kill the prince without the protection of the queen. However, at the critical moment when Empress Xiao was sentenced to death, the biggest crisis was these two people!" Nirhin said with a smile.
"Oh! Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie are so trusted by Yelu Hongji, how could they fall into a greater crisis?" Zhao Zhongge asked while pouring wine into his mouth.
"The ancients had the saying that 'three tigers'. If the people of the Hou tribe took this opportunity to mobilize all the opponents of Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie to impeach them together, then they would be really bad!" Ma Renhua said with a smile.
Brother Zhao Zhong swallowed the flesh in his mouth with difficulty and said with a smile: "If Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie take the stage, then Uncle Yan will be in trouble in the future, but Brother Ma's future official fortune will be successful!"
After hearing this, Nie Xin and Ma Renhua looked at each other and smiled. The Ma brothers, Ma Renhua, entered the official career and held important positions, but they were vaguely disliked Yelu Yixin and others. However, their younger brother Ma Renwang got along well with Yelu Yixin with his flattery and huge financial resources. The situation of the Ma family is very similar to that of the Han family, a prominent family in Hebei, the Song Dynasty.
"If Yelu Yixin doesn't appear on stage, it depends on how adaptable this person is. I expect that the ministers who are already familiar with the matter will jointly impeach Yelu Yixin. Then we can see how he deals with it. To be honest, although this person's career experience is despicable, Yelu Yixin really has three-point means, otherwise he would have been killed by Yelu Chongyuan long ago!" Ma Renhua said lightly.
Nirhin has been in Dading Prefecture for a while. After he came here, he not only engaged in his own job, but also had to be as familiar with the situation of the Liao Kingdom as possible, especially the recent major political events of the Liao Kingdom. He was naturally very clear about the matter between Yelu Yixin and Yelu Chongyuan mentioned by Ma Renhua. In the ninth year of Qingning, Yelu Renxian was the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court. At that time, the son-in-law Xiao Huji, who was relying on Yelu Chongyuan to form a clique for personal gain, naturally could not tolerate Yelu Renxian's report to the emperor in Dading Prefecture, and said, "Renxian can serve as the Northwest Road to seek consultation.
"The emperor planned to follow his advice at the time, but Yelu Yixin submitted a memorial: "I just participated in the national affairs and did not know the outline of governing the country. Renxian was an important minister of the previous emperor in the court, so you should not leave the court suddenly!" It was precisely because of Yelu Yixin's suggestion that Yelu Renxian stayed in the court. He also used the influence of Yelu Renxian to fight against the very powerful Yelu Chongyuan at that time. After the Yelu Chongyuan rebellion was quelled, he also took advantage of the achievements of keeping Yelu Renxian in the court and took the throne of the Privy Council envoy of the North Court to start his own control of the government.
Perhaps outsiders think that Yelu Yixin started his business by rumoring to take over power, but Nirvana was trained by Wang Jinghui as a counselor since he was a child. He has his own unique judgment standards, and the unified opinions of outsiders are sometimes just a joke in his eyes. Although Wang Jinghui himself is not good at strategy, he was a good person when selecting textbooks for Nirvana. The masters of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were very skillful, Nirvana did not disappoint Wang Jinghui. He was much better than Wang Jinghui himself. His brothers and sisters were particularly respectful to him. Among the twelve disciples, he was the brain.
It was from this incident that Nie Xin wrote a long-lasting analysis of Yelu Yixin's character to Wang Jinghui. This material was more than the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji, and this was also because Yelu Yixin had long controlled the actual governance power of the Liao Kingdom. Just because Yelu Yixin dared to oppose this with Yelu Chongyuan, who was in power at the time, Nie Xin did not dare to underestimate his political sense - he did not think that Yelu Chongyuan could stand firm for a long time, on the contrary.
People at that time had different opinions. He had long seen the trend of Yelu Chongyuan's destruction from all kinds of clues, and even accurately grasped the specific time! As a politician, this is very terrible. Will people with such ability to grasp the overall situation come on stage because of the murder of the prince? At least Nirhin didn't think so! But what surprised Nirhin even more was that from the meaning of Ma Renhua's words just now, Ma Renhua was full of confidence that Yelu Yixin could cross this threshold.
"This Ma Renhua is not simple either! It seems that he dares to fight Yelu Yixin in vain because of his brother..." Nirhin made a quick judgment in his heart, and looked at Ma Renhua who was drinking thoughtfully.
That night, the entire Dading Prefecture implemented very strict martial law, and all the garrison troops of the Dading Prefecture were dispatched to carefully investigate the suspicious people in the city, which made the entire Dading Prefecture a mess, and basically all the shops were closed. The inn was even more unmanaged. There were as many as a hundred people arrested on that day, and the people dared to be angry but not speak out. At this time, everything happened in the Prince's Mansion was spread. However, no one dared to go to the restaurant and tea shop to discuss publicly, for fear that it would be difficult to say if he said a mistake, he would be trapped or even his life would be in danger.
Ma Renhua's mansion was also investigated, but due to Ma Renwang, the search officers and soldiers were quite polite to the Ma Mansion, which was just a routine matter. It was also because the women and children of the Ma family basically went out in the name of traveling and there was nothing to search. Nie Xin even lived in the Ma Mansion a few months ago. Before that, the Ma brothers had already perfectly led the identity certificate about Nie Xin, thus avoiding the soldiers' investigation. However, it was not until this time that Nie Xin and others knew that in addition to killing the prince Yelu Jun last night, Brother Zhao Zhong's scattered arrow also killed the Privy Councilor Xiao Su and Lin Ya Xiao Xi. At that time, Brother Zhao Zhong was not in such a good mood to confirm the results of the battle. After knowing that Yelu Jun was killed by him, Brother Zhao Zhong just wanted to escape, and did not expect such a big gain.
The martial law in the whole city of Dading Prefecture was carefully checked. It was entirely the movement caused by Yelu Yixin. Fortunately, Nirhin released the pigeons who reported the message last night. The letter was written completely with the agreed code number. The pigeons will fly to Lazhou and there will be someone to pick them up there. In addition to bringing all important members of the Ma family back to Dading Prefecture, they also reported to the Kaifeng Intelligence Bureau of Biandu. It is estimated that the person who came to the prefecture now knew what happened to Dading Prefecture.
Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie were not having a good time at this time. As expected, as both of them expected, the bullet stamp presented early this morning submerged them both. Emperor Yelu Hongji urgently summoned many ministers, and there were many of their opponents among them. Fortunately, there was no big problem. Since some ministers were summoned secretly, even the eyes and ears of Yelu Yixin arranged in the palace could not know the specific situation. He did not know Lin Ya Xiao Yanshou's secret comments: "Since the crown prince participated in the government, Yelu Yixin was suspicious and frightened. He also attached himself to Prime Minister Zhang Xiaojie, and he might have bad plans. Don't let him live in a critical place..."
At that time, the Emperor of Liao divided the Diala tribe Yilijin into two kings in the north and south, and the Diala part was two parts, called the North and South Court. Prime Ministers, Privy, Xuanhui, Lin Ya, and down to Langjun, the guards were all divided into two parts, north and south, and they were actually in charge of northern affairs. All officials in the Liao court, the Northern Privy, the Southern Privy, the Southern Privy, the Ministry of Personnel, the Northern and Southern Kings were in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the One-Lecture was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, Xuanhui was in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the Eminent Liema Du was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Prime Ministers of the North and South were in charge of the state affairs. Lin Ya was the chief Wen Han, who had some Hanlin meaning in the Song Dynasty. Basically, the official positions of the Liao Kingdom must have Lin Ya's qualifications, just as the Song Dynasty wanted to be a deputy to the political affairs and auxiliary minister, so it was necessary to be an official in the local area.
Xiao Yanshou is very old. He was once an old man in the residence of Prince Yelu Hongji of Emperor Yelu Hongji. He has a close relationship with Xiao Xi, who is also Lin Ya, and the two have blood relationships. It is precisely because Xiao Yanshou is smart that he does not oppose Yelu Yixin like the ministers around him. He directly puts the post of assassinating the prince on Yelu Yixin's head. Instead, from another perspective, it shows that Yelu Yixin's current power has threatened Yelu Hongji's rule. This can even impress Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji ascended the throne at the age of fifteen. Less than twenty years have passed by the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan's lesson. Yelu Hongji almost died in that rebellion and is very cautious about anyone who threatens his rule.
