Five hundred and thirtieth chapters conspiracy
Yelu Zongzhen was originally very angry, but when he heard Yelu Xisun mention his grand plan, he quickly calmed down. When he ascended the throne, he was still young, so the power fell into the hands of his mother Xiao Nojin. However, in recent years, Xiao Nojin has been doing bad things in the country, which has caused resentment from heaven and others. Many noble officials in China are already extremely dissatisfied with her.
Of course, the above are not the most critical. The most critical thing is that after Xiao Nojin seized power, he was particularly cautious about Yelu Zongzhen, the emperor's son, and even many people were placed around him to monitor him, which made Yelu Zongzhen have no freedom. For example, this time, he could be scolded for a musician, and killing an eunuch almost made the mother and son turn against each other.
It was Xiao Nojin's surveillance of Yelu Zongzhen that made him increasingly dissatisfied with his mother. The already cold mother-son relationship between the two completely disappeared, so Yelu Zongzhen also wanted to seize power, because he was worried that if this continued, sooner or later, Xiao Nojin would kill him and then become the queen, just like the former Tang Dynasty's Wuzhou Queen.
"Xi Sun, will you have a chance recently?" Yelu Zongzhen thought for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice in front of me. Only he and Yelu Xi Sun and other few confidants knew about the seizure of power. These people were the old people when he was the crown prince, so they were definitely trustworthy.
"The Empress Dowager has always been very concerned about her own safety, and all of them are her confidants. His Majesty has almost no chance of winning if he wants to take action in the Empress Dowager, unless he can let the Empress Dowager leave the Nabo, it is just that this opportunity is not easy to find!" Yelu Xisun also replied with a serious expression.
"Even if she left Nabo, she would definitely have many personal guards around her. Are you sure you are sure to take her out of Nabo?" Yelu Zongzhen asked again with some disconfidence. Although he had been planning to seize power recently, because there were too few people available, he was not sure now.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhirang has secretly recruited 500 confidants, and is stationed near Zhongjing. In addition, there are some people available in the hands of the minister. As long as the queen mother leaves Nabo, as long as the queen mother gives her order, I can immediately control the queen mother!" Yelu Xisun immediately patted her chest and assured.
Yelu Zhirang, Yan Niang's younger brother, was also the guy who sent Li Zhang away from the Liao Kingdom. He was also one of Yelu Zongzhen's confidants and also participated in the seizure of power. He is now in the army to help Yelu Zongzhen win over some available confidants.
"Zhirang did a good job, but it's not enough to just control the empress dowager. Xiao Xiao was first the most important confidant around her, and he always held the power of the north and south courts. If he refused to surrender at that time, he might send troops to rescue the empress dowager, which would be bad at that time." Yelu Zongzhen praised Yelu Zhirang first, and then asked another question.
The reason why Xiao Nojin was able to seize power was not only because she was Yelu Zongzhen's biological mother, but also had a lot to do with Xiao Xiaoxian's efforts to help. Xiao Nojin also trusted Xiao Xiaoxian very much. Some people even said that they wanted to learn from Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Delang of that year and became husband and wife and jointly held power. This is also one of the reasons why Yelu Zongzhen was angry.
"Your Majesty is thoughtful. Xiao Xiaoxian is not allowed to take action against the Empress Dowager, but it is not difficult to deal with him. As long as the Empress Dowager leaves Nabo, Your Majesty finds an excuse to call him out, and then detains him and then attack the Empress Dowager. As long as you control him and the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty will officially summon ministers to stabilize the situation!" Yelu Xisun immediately suggested again.
Hearing Yelu Xisun's words, Yelu Zongzhen also smiled with satisfaction, and then pondered for a moment and said, "Winter is coming soon this year, and I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will not leave Nabo easily. However, every summer, she and I will go to the palace to escape the summer heat. Then it is a good time to do it!"
"The palace is a good place to do it, so I will prepare now!" Yelu Xisun immediately agreed with joy. In fact, he had already encouraged Yelu Zongzhen to start early, but Yelu Zongzhen was still a little worried. Although he asked them to prepare, he did not decide the time and place to do it. This time he finally made him make up his mind.
While Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Xisun discussed seizing power, Xiao Nojin was sitting there angrily in the big tent in the other place of Nabo. Yelu Zongzhen killed the eunuch he arranged, which also angered her. After all, since she took over the power, no one has dared to disobey her intentions, even Yelu Zongzhen could not do it.
"Empress, Your Majesty may have been confused for a moment, or believed the slander of some people around you, so he did such a thing!" At this time, a fair-faced eunuch came over to persuade him. This person was Zhao Anren, a close friend of Li Zhang. He was Xiao Nojin's confidant. After Xiao Nojin took power, he became even more red and became the first eunuch. When Xiao Nojin was angry, only he dared to come forward to persuade him.
"How could I not be angry? He is getting older and his wings are getting harder. He dares to kill my people at any time. He is simply brave!" Xiao Nojin slapped the table in anger at this time.
Zhao Anren also laughed in her heart when she heard this. Xiao Nojin really disliked Yelu Sect during this period, and often picked the blame on her. If she were Yelu Sect, she would probably not be able to stand it. However, Xiao Nojin was used to being domineering, so in her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her behavior. Yelu Sect was her son, so naturally she had to obey her arrangements in everything.
Of course, if you think so, Zhao Anren would definitely not say that, so he brought a cup of tea to Xiao Nojin and said, "The Empress Dowager calms down. If Your Majesty does something wrong, your health will be bad. This is the tea that has just been sent from the Song Dynasty. It is said that the taste is excellent. Drinking it often can make you look beautiful. You might as well try it!"
Although Xiao Nojin has a bad temper, he has a hobby, which is to drink tea. Zhao Anren naturally knows Xiao Nojin best, so he asked someone to bring a lot of good tea from the Song Dynasty. After all, the Liao Kingdom did not produce tea, and the tea he drank was bought from the Song Kingdom, which also made the tea extremely expensive and generally only aristocrats could enjoy it.
Xiao Nojin cursed Yelu Zong for a while, and then he felt a little thirsty. He took the tea cup and drank a few sips. He felt that the tea was indeed good, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, so he also praised Zhao Anren for a few words.
But at this moment, someone suddenly came to report that King Xiao Xiao of Chu had come to ask for a meeting. Now Xiao Xiaoxian was the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, and served as the government official and was also the Minister of the Situ. Almost all the power in the court fell into his hands. The reason why Xiao Nojin trusted him so much was actually because Xiao Xiaoxian was of the same clan and the two had affair, which also made Xiao Nojin trust Xiaoxian almost without reservation.
When Xiao Xiaoxian heard that he asked for a meeting, Xiao Nojin immediately asked someone to invite him in. After a while, a tall middle-aged man walked in. He saw that this man had a long face, tiger eyes, and mighty appearance. He was Xiao Xiaoxian who was the power-held Xiaoxian. It is worth mentioning that Xiao Xiaoxian's wife was Princess Nanyang, which is the half-sister of Yelu Zongzhen. However, during the Dayanlin Rebellion, Xiao Xiaoxian and his wife fell into Dayanlin's hands. Princess Nanyang died tragically, but Xiao Xiaoxian escaped.
"Why are you here in the sea?" Xiao Nojin asked with a rare smile when he saw Xiao Xiaoxian. Xiao Xiaoxian's small characters in the sea are usually called this title only very close people.
"You are the Empress Dowager, after I went back, I thought about it all the time. I always felt that the Empress Dowager's reprimand for Your Majesty was too strict. I am afraid that Your Majesty will be resentful to the Empress Dowager, which makes me feel very uneasy, so I came to the palace to see the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Xiaoxian bowed to Xiao Nojin with a serious expression at this time.
The reason why Xiao Xiaoxian was able to hold great power was not only because of Xiao Nojin's trust. In fact, Xiao Nojin had many brothers, and she also entrusted important tasks by her. However, none of them could compare with Xiao Xiaoxian. When Xiao Nojin scolded Yelu Zongzhen just now, Xiao Xiaoxian was also present, and he also found that Yelu Zongzhen was extremely full of Xiao Nojin, so he went to the palace to remind him.
"Hmph, he has been resentful to me for a long time. When he killed that old thing Xiao Guanyin, he obstructed him in every way. This time he dared to kill me without permission. I think it won't take long before he dared to contradict me openly!" When Xiao Xiao mentioned Yelu Zongzhen first, Xiao Nojin's anger just burned again.
Looking at the angry Xiao Nojin, Xiao Xiaoxian shook his head in dismay, because the other party didn't understand what he meant at all, so he could only patiently say again: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is not young now. I heard that some people already want Your Majesty to take charge of the rule. If I think Your Majesty has this meaning, then if Your Majesty really asks the Empress Dowager to return the power, what should you do?"
Xiao Nojin was not completely brainless. At this time, he was stunned when he heard Xiao Xiaoxian's words, and then showed a thoughtful expression. In fact, the reason why she disliked Yelu Zongzhen recently was that she was also worried that Yelu Zongzhen would regain the imperial power. After tasting the deliciousness of power, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to return it.
"What do you think you should do in the sea?" Xiao Nojin pondered for a while and finally looked up and asked Xiao Xiaoxian's opinion. In the whole tent, except for the two of them, Zhao Anren was the only one serving him. After Xiao Xiaoxian came in, Zhao Anren had already driven out the others in the tent very well. Now there are only three of them in the tent, so they were not afraid of the content of the conversation being leaked.
