Chapter 1448

Xiao Shen suddenly thought of yesterday. While chatting with him, Zhang Xiaojie was looking up the notes here, and he couldn't help but read the contents of the notes curiously.

This is a letter from the Privy Council of the Great Liao Dynasty. As the prime minister, I naturally have the right to understand it. The content of this letter is not complicated. This is information from the East Road of the Great Liao River.

The content inside is that the Secretary of the Western Xia, Ling Renduozong betrayed Xixia, and the Baorenduo clan fled to the Song territory in the south. His son Renduoxianzong even seized a state of Xixia in the inside and outside.

At this time, Xiao Shen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the meaningful but confusing words of Zhang Xiaojie last night came. "A land of a state is not as good as a land of a path, and it shows more sincerity..."

Xiao Shen's face suddenly turned gray and his mouth began to tremble, and his whole body trembled like the fallen leaves of autumn in the wind.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shen, who was extremely angry, appeared in front of Zhang Xiaojie, who was yawning, still with a calm but indifferent attitude.

He held the note and pointed at the tip of Zhang Xiaojie's nose, but for a long time, he couldn't say a word.

"I originally thought you could figure it out last night, but unfortunately, I just waited for you all night for nothing..." Zhang Xiaojie put down a book that was almost broken and smiled bitterly with a look of tiredness.

"Sir, are you saving me? Or is you harming me?!" Xiao Shen finally did not throw the note on Zhang Xiaojie's face, but threw it on the ground and roared in a low voice.

"I am saving myself, and I am saving you, my nephew..." Looking at Xiao Shen with blue veins on his face, Zhang Xiaojie sighed slowly and said earnestly.

"If you think I am harming you. Just hand over me, I will definitely not blame you. After all, if I leave you, where can I go to find someone to shelter?"

"Sir, but do this..." Xiao Shen finally sat down next to Zhang Xiaojie with a deep sorrow, and he could not help but pick up the note with a bitter look on his face.

"If you can resign and go to my Daliao River East Road to recognise your position, you can know the benefits and interests of it just need to consider it a little bit, and this is the best choice for you."

"First, you may resign and go to the border town to guard the border for the Liao Dynasty. This will not only greatly improve your impression of you, but also block the attacks on you by all officials in the court."

"After all, you are the one whom Your Majesty has promoted you. You take all your guilt and ask yourself to guard the border. Your Majesty will definitely remember your achievements, but will protect you."

"If so, if Your Majesty can survive this period and be in good health, then if there is anything else in my Daliao, Your Majesty will definitely not forget you, a loyal minister who is determined to be loyal to Your Majesty..."

"If there is anything wrong with Your Majesty, the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely clean up the obstacles in the court. At this time, you are far away from the border and away from the center of power, and it will not easily cause trouble to you."

"If the prince is the prince, he really wants to insist on attacking you, then the nephew who is in charge of the government can think about where the future is..."

Xiao Shen listened silently to Zhang Xiaojie's analysis. He had to admit that Zhang Xiaojie, the prime minister who once controlled the government of the Great Liao Dynasty with Yelu Yixin, was indeed worthy of his reputation as a scheming person.

The strategy he made for himself was a perfect strategy, besides the fact that he took the initiative to speak out, which made Xiao Shen confused.

What's more, he deliberately left the letter on the book case, not only describing Renduo Zongbao's rebellion, but also recorded that Renduo Zongbao was awarded the title of Duke of the County after he entered the Song Dynasty, and his son also became a general of the border.

All of his clans were under the protection of the Song Dynasty. Liang Yibi, who had been the former, now became an Anleweng in the Song Dynasty. Even the captured Xiaoliang of Xixia was said to have been enclosed in a nunnery, at least he did not need to worry about his life.

Seeing that Xiao Shen fell into deep thought, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand, Zhang Xiaojie stroked his long beard and said to Xiao Shen. "Do you know why Yelu Yixin was killed by Your Majesty?"

"This... Xiao remembered that it should have been detained in Laizhou because he sold banned goods in a foreign country. Later, his Majesty seemed to be grateful to Prince Zhaohuai, so he secretly ordered him to hang him."

Zhang Xiaojie stroked his long beard, and his eyes that were slightly concave were narrowed to a thin slit. "That's just that His Majesty did not want his ministers to know that the prince of the Great Liao royal family was actually trying to turn against the country and surrender to Song..."

"What?!" Xiao Shen jumped up in shock.

"Tell you, when Yi Xin was the prefect of Xingzhong, he was indeed convicted of "selling prohibited goods in foreign countries" and was reported to the Youzi Jujube, and he should be sentenced to death according to the law. At that time, Yelu Yan came to find me to save my life. I gave him a plan, which was to reduce the sentence according to the laws of our Great Liao royal family, and use the eight-plot examples.

Yelu Yixin was therefore spared from death, and attacked with iron bones and sticks, and was detained in Laizhou. Unfortunately, after he arrived in Laizhou, he was angry and secretly sent someone to contact me. He wanted to raise an army to surrender to Song..."

"But, the visitor just handed me the news, and he was investigated by Your Majesty because of the leak. Your Majesty was furious, but he was unwilling to let people know about the scandal of the royal family treason and surrendering to the enemy, so you hang him to death..."

Xiao Shen looked at Zhang Xiaojie in amazement and told this royal secret. He never expected that this old driver would hide so deeply.

"And those who know this and can survive in the world are probably no more than ten fingers. I am one of them..." Zhang Xiaojie's wrinkled old face showed a strange smile.

Returning to his home and study room, Xiao Shen, who had hesitated for a while, finally made his decision. When it was almost dusk, the carriage ran out of Xiao Shen's mansion and galloped towards the emperor of Zhongjing Road.

Xiao Shen quietly entered the palace to meet Yelu Hongji. It took an hour before he left. Yelu Hongji, who was already very healthy but still seemed to be staggering, saw Xiao Shen bowing to the ground outside the palace gate and crying.

"Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body. I am afraid that the guilty minister will not be able to continue to serve Your Majesty for a while..."

Yelu Hongji raised his hand, and the eunuch who understood the spirit quickly stepped forward and helped Xiao Shen up. "I know very well that you are loyal to the court and to me, I will definitely not let Xiao Shenqing down all his efforts."

Seeing Xiao Shen finally got up and gradually drifting away, Yelu Hongji returned to the couch and sat down with the support of the eunuch.

The flames of the copper furnace in front of him blocked the coldness of late autumn. Yelu Hongji leaned on the couch with a tired face and rested. Since he woke up again after waking up from a coma this time, Yelu Hongji found that he was getting tired more and more easily.

My favorite Baodiao bow was in the past, but his face was not red and his breath was not breathing when he even shot ten arrows. Now, after only two or three times, he felt his face hot and his heart was beating violently.

"Are I old?" Looking at the flames that rushed out of the copper furnace from time to time, Yelu Hongji stroked his long and delicately maintained beard, and there seemed to be more and more silver threads mixed inside...
