royal robes

Chapter 430
All the extremely human ministers are human beings. They have already discovered that this is something that Yeluzhen and Yelu Anduan have negotiated privately. Although it is a bit surprising that Yelu Ruan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it is also reasonable. .After all, Yelu Anduan didn't need to make concessions, all he had to do was be shameless.If Yelu really wants to prevent the Khitan from splitting, he has to give in.

Yelu Anduan succeeded, Yelv Zhen also succeeded, Yelu Ruan succeeded, but Yelu Jing was the only one who suffered.The throne that Yelujing had acquired was actually handed over to others. Although this could prevent Khitan from splitting up, the benefits of doing so were too many. In fact, those who were willing to give in were the ones who were truly loyal to Khitan.

Obviously Yelvjing is not such a person, but Yelvzhen nodded, and Yelvjing had to obey.If he had to choose, he would rather split Khitan.But if that's the case, the territory of the Liao Kingdom will be devastated, and there will be countless casualties.Li Tang's defeat was precisely because of an Anshi Rebellion.

As the saying goes, if you sail against the current, you will retreat if you do not advance.Perhaps many people think that Khitan will only need a few years to make up for these losses.However, Khitan's economy and military have not developed in the past few years, but will continue to lag behind. However, the powerful Liwei will make the Great Zhou continue to develop. .

Yeluzhen's move of abandoning the army and protecting the commander was very good. He only sacrificed some power and dignity, but it won precious time for Khitan.Taking advantage of Guo Wei's fledgling, he once again showed him the powerful side of Khitan, so that he could continue to advance south while ensuring the safety of Liao.

But... Everyone can see that Yeluzhen didn't come up with this method, and the mastermind behind it should be Master Zongxin.It’s no wonder that Yeluzhen would rather exchange the seven suns of the unique martial arts Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue. Maybe many people think it’s not worth it, but in fact Yeluzhen and even the whole Khitan have made a lot of money. An incomplete martial arts cheat is actually exchanged for a nation. This is a great way for a country to maintain long-term stability.

Similarly, these ministers also believed that Yelu Ruan was an emperor worthy of entrustment.Because he managed the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures very well, the largest income of the Liao State treasury now comes from the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures. Without the economic support from the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, the Khitan Emperor might not even be able to support soldiers.

Regarding this matter, there is also Zong Xin.Because of Zong Xin's phrase "winter wheat and spring plowing" started the Khitan people's farming industry, and they no longer have to worry about the shortage of cattle and sheep. As long as these grains are used properly, Khitan will not only stop starving to death, but also support the army to stay in the Central Plains for a long time .As long as there are enough taxes, Yeluruan can send troops to the Central Plains.

Although it is not a good opportunity this time, it is possible to give Guo Wei a blow when he first established the country.Then you can ask Guo Wei for more benefits. Even if you can't break through Cangzhou temporarily, you can still make Guo Wei and Fu Yanqing suffer.

At this time, everyone focused on Yeluruan, because he was the next Khitan emperor.But Zong Xin paid attention to another person. This person was sitting behind Yelu Dilie. From his appearance, he should be a Han. What happened around him didn't seem to shake him at all. He still closed his eyes slightly and sat cross-legged. .

This person is very strange, why is he sitting behind Yelu Dilie?This person is definitely not a supporter, could it be said that he is a bodyguard invited by Yelu Dilie?It seems that this person's martial arts is indeed not low, but if Yelu really wants to make a move, there is nothing he can do.

In fact, if you take a closer look, this person is quite handsome, and he is a middle-aged handsome guy with a decadent style. This kind of person attracts the attention of little girls.Zong Xin had never heard of such a person in Jianghu, why did he become Yelv Dilie's bodyguard?Although he has never fought against him, or even seen him fight, Zong Xin can clearly feel that his martial arts are very high. It stands to reason that people with such martial arts should not worry about money.

Zong Xin walked towards this side slowly, then turned around and walked to Empress Dowager Xiao, bowed deeply and then whispered: "Empress Dowager, the plan is going well, and I am ready to listen to the government behind the curtain at any time."

After finishing speaking, Zong Xin stood up straight again.From outsiders' point of view, Zong Xin was just saluting to the Khitan Queen Mother, but very few people saw Zong Xin's mouth moving. Although they didn't hear his voice, they could almost assume that Zong Xin had reported something to the Queen Mother.

In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao was very strange about this matter, she knew that she had no communication with Zong Xin, and had only met twice in total.Why did Master Zong Xin help himself?Could it be that he is really for Khitan?Master Zong Xin is an eminent monk, but he is also a Han Chinese. Why did he let himself monopolize the power?
Although Zong Xin's current plan is to make Yelu Ruan ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, after that Yelu Anduan will find a way to kill Yelu Ruan and blame Yelu Jing, and at that time, he has already gained all the power, and he can cover up all the power in Khitan with just one hand. God, he can support his son's ascension to the throne and proclaim himself emperor.But in the end the truth was announced, and Yelvjing ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor...

However, during this period, Yeluzhen and Yelvjing will have a period of blank time. At that time, all the power will belong to him. Even if Yelvjing ascends the throne, his words will have no weight. The person who directly controls the fate of the Khitan nation is himself .

This plan is perfect, and of course Empress Dowager Xiao likes it very much.It's just that Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't figure it out, why did Zong Xin do this?What's in it for him?What good is it for Khitan?Or will it be of any benefit to the Central Plains?
Can't figure it out, Empress Dowager Xiao really can't figure out Zong Xin's intention.Sure enough, it was an expert who acted inscrutablely. Empress Dowager Xiao felt that this monk was too scary.Just letting Yelu Zhen form an alliance with Yelu Anduan to prevent the Khitan from splitting is already very powerful. This is definitely not something that ordinary people dare to think about and do, but Master Zongxin planned the subsequent series of events. His mind is too smart. , must not be his enemy.

Yeluzhen walked slowly to Yeluruan, and then took out a thumb-sized bead from his bosom.Everyone took a step back and bowed deeply.Even the people who had been sitting just now changed their movements. Apart from a few special people present, including Yelvjing, they had to kneel down to the bead.

This fire dragon ball seems to be surrounded by raging fire, but it won't be hot when you hold it in your hand, but it feels cold.In the eyes of the Khitan people, fire was originally a sacred thing, and this orb naturally became a national heritage.As for why this orb is so precious, I'm afraid even the Khitan people themselves don't know.

"This is a legacy of Khitan, and I will keep it from His Majesty." Yeluzhen knelt down on one knee and dragged the Fire Dragon Ball to the top of his head.

Yeluruan held the Fire Dragon Ball with both hands, and then raised the Fire Dragon Ball above his head.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Khitan's law is so casual, where the emperor is, the national policy will be there.Not sticking to the form, and even without any warning, when Yelu Ruan took over the Fire Dragon Ball, he was the emperor of Khitan.

Zong Xin didn't kneel down because he was a monk and not a Khitan courtier, so he didn't have to kneel down to Yeluruan.Empress Dowager Xiao did not kneel down either, because he was the Empress Dowager.Although the emperor has the highest status, but the queen mother is the direct elder, only the emperor kneels down to the queen mother, and the queen mother returns the salute at most.

Happiness came so suddenly, I didn't expect Yeluzhen to give the Fire Dragon Ball to himself so soon.In fact, many people guessed that the Fire Dragon Ball was in the hands of Yeluzhen, because he brought back the body of the first emperor Yelu Deguang, but the Fire Dragon Ball was not found on Yelu Deguang's body.

Next, Yeluruan will be busy, and the remaining ministers will discuss national policy with the new Khitan emperor Yeluruan.At this time, Zong Xin had disappeared, and few people even found out when Zong Xin left.Before he left, he gave Yelu Anduan a wink, and Yelu Anduan, father and son immediately followed Zong Xin, and after leaving the palace, they walked through the alleys and came to a very secluded place.

The moonlight was like water, and Zong Xin was wearing cassock and standing on the side of a silver lake with one hand behind his back, admiring the moonlight while waiting for Khitan Ming King Yelu Anduan.

"Master Zong Xin has improved a lot in martial arts. It's really gratifying." Yelu'an smiled and said, "As expected of an eminent monk, it was exactly the same as your plan, and it was far smoother than this king's thought. Yeluzhen actually compromised like this , it seems that for Yeluzhen, the survival of Khitan is far more important than which emperor to support."

Zong Dao: "Of course~ There is no king without a country? But Yeluu really won't give up. He will wait until Yeluuan fulfills his promise and let Yelujing become emperor. But to be honest, if Yelujing is 34 years old Yeluruan was almost old when he was born, and it would be beneficial for Khitan if the two of them changed hands. Maybe our King Shenwu comforted himself in this way."

Yelu Anduan said: "Master Zongxin and King Shenwu have been together for nearly half a month, and they should have discussed this issue after practicing. Is Yelu really suspicious?"

"It's strange if you don't suspect it." Zong said, "You think Yelu is really a fool? He is the King of Khitan, and he has already seen that you have the intention to kill Yeluruan, but Yeluzhen is not angry about it, but very happy. If it was really you who killed Yeluruan, then Yeluzhen would have a logical assistant, Yelvjing, who would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, wouldn't it?"

Yelu Anduan also noticed this problem, but Yeluzhen still miscalculated, because their first target was not Yeluruan, but Yeluzhen himself.Only by killing him can Yelu Anduan rest easy.

"Master Zong Xin, when do you think is the best time to do it?"

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me about this, I don't want to offend Yeluzhen. If you succeed in the assassination, of course everything will be fine. If you fail... I dare not imagine."

This is also what Yelu Anduan is most worried about now. Yeluzhen's martial arts are too high. Even if he doesn't have fire energy in his body, even if he feels absolutely sure... Yelu Anduan still feels very dangerous. If he makes a mistake and is caught by Yeluzhen At that time, the person who died at that time was himself.

This matter is too dangerous, if there is no 100% chance, I really dare not do it.
