Conspiracy

"Master Li, I don't know if you have come to the camp in person, but what new orders does your Majesty have?"

The speaker was a thick-set, middle-aged man. The skin on his face was covered with the wind and frost from staying in the northern land all year round.

"Marquis Yongding, there is no need to panic," Li Chenjin looked at the people kneeling on the ground and walked into the camp. "Your Majesty once ordered Marquis Yongding to stay still. However, Marquis Yongding repeatedly violated the holy will and sent strong soldiers to sneak into Pingzhou.

You rob civilian girls and plunder money, but you have rebellious intentions?"

Hearing this, General Zhao, the Marquis of Yongding, gasped in fright. He thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and these things of digging into the city walls and stealing chickens and dogs would only be rotten in the stomachs of their own people, but unexpectedly it spread to the emperor!

Marquis Yongding followed Li Chenjin and looked back at the crowd. There must be a spy among them!

But I didn't expect that this frail scholar-like general seemed to have eyes on his back, and said quietly:

"There are indeed people of mine among General Zhao's personal guards. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the northern border is particularly important, so he sent someone to secretly assist General Zhao."

Marquis Yongding was half-kneeling on the ground performing a military salute, feeling that his body weighed a thousand kilograms.

"General, please get up." A man who looked like a court official came up and helped Yongding Hou up. "The battle between Pingzhou and Liaodan is imminent. General Li is a civilized and military strategist with far-sighted plans, so your Majesty specially sent General Li to help General Zhao.

.”

"Your Majesty, I dare not refuse to thank you for your great kindness." After saying that, he kowtowed towards the south to express his gratitude.

"Sir," the Marquis of Yongning held a banquet in the Youshi period and invited Li Chenjin alone to greet him. "Zhao has been fighting in the north for many years. There have been constant wars in this area. Liao and Dan are very good at riding and shooting and have a strong army. It will be a matter of time before Pingzhou breaks the city."

- Why did Your Majesty ask Liao Dan to defeat the people and take advantage of those barbarians?"

Li Chenjin raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite him, "Your Majesty cares about all the people in the world. Since Pingzhou will be destroyed sooner or later, then we will send troops to help and take in the people of Pingzhou. Wouldn't it be a good thing to accumulate merit and merit?"

"What's more -" He drank a glass of sake, with unpredictable emotions in his eyes:

“How can we give up our country’s territory to others?”

Suddenly, Li Chenjin frowned and slapped his right hand on the table. Then a silver chopstick flew out and was nailed directly to the door.

"Who's out there?"

"General."

The actor opened the door and walked in from the outside with a smile on his face, as if he had escaped from death.

"Jing Jin?" Li Chenjin's scrutinizing eyes were locked on him, "What's the matter?"

"General, your Majesty sent someone to bring some of the best wine from the south and placed it outside. I don't know how to arrange it?"

He is obviously a man, but his gestures are somewhat feminine.

"Oh," the white-clothed general responded casually, with a somewhat unclear smile hidden in his eyes, "take the best two pots on top and give them to Queen Mother Shulu, and say that I wish her all the best."

become."

"Yes, General."

The actor named Jing Jin lowered his eyes, and the white powder paint on his face covered all his expression.

He bowed and bowed out respectfully.

In the Liaodan Hall, all the officials arrived.

Yelu Dejin led several pairs of elite soldiers and rushed into the hall regardless of the obstruction. He looked at the woman who had lost her right hand with a complicated expression.

The ministers discussed the matter in great excitement.

The Queen Mother Shu Luping stood in the hall with an expressionless face:

"Isn't Khan leading his troops to fight? Why is he back again?"

The young new king of Liaodan looked at her like this, was silent for a long time, and then said:

"Mother, I wonder what mistake my son has made? My mother actually sent an assassin to kill my son!"

Before he finished speaking, all the officials were in an uproar.

"Queen Mother, I am your biological child!" He clenched his fists with both hands and his voice was a little hoarse. "How can a mother in this world want to harm her own son? Queen Mother, what did I do wrong?"

Queen Mother Shulu in the palace frowned, but hundreds of eyes below the steps looked at her searchingly, and she could not get angry.

"My son Dejin, do you know what you are talking about?"

She held her severed hand in front of her threateningly.

"Last night, you sent dozens of assassins to sneak attack on the king's account. Fortunately, the soldiers around me reacted very quickly, and I was able to save my life."

"Mother, the leader is your trusted bodyguard! Those people said that you thought I was thinking too much about Pingzhou and missed the opportunity, so they wanted to get rid of me quickly!"

Two days ago, Li Qianyin told him:

Yi Wang Li Hehe was determined to negotiate peace. Since the peace talks failed to achieve the goal once, he would come again for the second time.

The Emperor of the Central Plains, Li Dan, secretly colluded with the Queen Mother of Liao and Dan, Shu Luping. Not to mention that Li Dan had long had murderous intentions towards Li Hexiang, and if the peace talks really succeeded, how could he kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and threaten the princes?

What's more, Li Dan's proclaimed emperor was not justified.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people's will is far more dangerous to him than a few old ministers jumping around in the court.

Therefore, he wholeheartedly waited for Pingzhou to be defeated and open the gates of Yechao to rescue refugees, and gain a reputation as a caring and virtuous man, so that he could sit firmly on the throne in the eyes of all the people in the world.

From this point of view, since Li Hexi was a true dragon descendant and blocked his grand plan, he would naturally secretly encourage the Queen Mother Shulu to take the opportunity to kill the former prince.

"Li Dan offered to pacify the state and help the new king ascend the throne, but these are not what the Queen Mother really wants."

"I know that the queen wants her brother to ascend the throne, but if this is not what she really wants, what does the queen want?"

Yelu Dejin was dubious.

"Isn't it clear to the Khan what the Queen Mother wants?" she asked, "What the Queen Mother wants is the same as what the Khan wants -"

"They are all from the Sixteenth Province of Youyun."

"Yes, if we get the sixteen states, the forces in the DPRK and China will definitely be one-sided, so why bother to grab them personally."

Liaodan Khan murmured.

Li Qianyin did not answer the words, but paused and continued:

"Even if the emperor is willing to give it, it is impossible for all the officials in the court to agree - the Queen Mother cannot get the sixteen states, so naturally she will not really help him kill Li Hexi, just to force Li Dan and raise the stakes."

"With collusion with the Central Plains, the Queen Mother will definitely not bring this matter to light. In this case, the Khan might as well take advantage of this matter and put this mess back on the Queen Mother."

At this moment, Empress Dowager Shulu never expected that her second son, who had been obedient since childhood and only knew how to lead troops in war, would actually plan so carefully this time and join her army regardless of the relationship between mother and son.

In order to ensure that this matter was exposed, the people she sent to assassinate Li Hexi were all extremely trustworthy people around her.

Looking at the dozen soldiers Yelu Dejin asked to be brought up, she could not refute.

Queen Mother Shulu staggered back a few steps, pretending to be unwell and slumped against the throne:

"Dejin, Queen Mother really has no intention of hurting you. She is just afraid that the Han people will hurt you, so she asked them to come and protect her."

She sighed deeply, "My mother is getting old. Since Khan came to the throne, she is no longer as filial as she was when she was a child. There are more and more gaps between you and me."

"My mother knows that the Khan just hates me and hates that I still control the government and refuses to let go."

"That's alright," Empress Dowager Shulu waved her hand, took a jar of good wine and two wine bowls, and filled them respectively:

"Today, my mother is asking you to apologize in front of all the ministers. If the Khan is willing to relent, just drink my bowl of apology wine."
