The matter mentioned by Han Yanshou was an extremely serious topic. Everyone was silent for a while, not daring to express their stance easily. If they expressed the wrong attitude on this matter, there would be no good fruits in the future, so everyone behaved
Extremely cautious.
Han Yanshou waited for a while and saw that everyone was unwilling to express their opinions, so he said: "I know that this matter is very sensitive, and you should be cautious. Then I will be the one who takes the lead. I will make a statement first.
, my proposal is from the perspective of the Liao court, and is definitely not out of personal gain. The two princes are actually very good, and both can take charge. But there can only be one person in charge. I prefer the eldest prince to take charge.
The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor. It is our rule in Daliao to establish the chief minister. Letting the eldest prince take charge is also in line with our ancestral system in Daliao..."
As soon as Han Yanshou finished speaking, Yelv Chun shouted: "Why? Why do you want to establish a chief? When did Daliao have such a rule? Prime Minister Han, you are just partial to the eldest prince, why bother with this?"
The reason for prevarication? I, Daliao, have never had any nonsense rules about standing up for a chief. Don’t think I don’t know. I am also my father’s son, so why can the eldest prince take charge of affairs but I can’t? What a joke.”
Han Yanshou frowned and shouted: "Second Prince, in Daliao, we have appointed elders as princes from generation to generation since Emperor Tiansheng. This has been regulated for a long time. If you don't know this, don't talk nonsense."
Yelv Chun sneered and said: "I don't know what happened before, but I know that my father's accession to the throne was not for a long time. My father was not the son of the late emperor, but his younger brother, and he was only the fourth brother of the late emperor.
Didn’t he also become the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty? What’s the point of talking about the rule of establishing a chief? Even if there is this rule, it has been abolished in the hands of my father. If the prime minister still talks about this matter, isn’t it a joke? "
Everyone looked at Yelv Chun with strange expressions, thinking in their hearts: Are these two princes crazy, actually exposing the emperor's scars at this moment? The emperor's throne was taken from him, and the previous emperor was passed down to his eldest prince. The current emperor
It's just the emperor's uncle. He just raised an army to seize the throne. This matter is already very sensitive, and it is extremely taboo in the court, and no one dares to say it openly. It would be better for him to use this matter as an example to refute, he is crazy.
"Yeluchun! What did you say? You bastard! How can you put your finger on what my father does? Stop talking!" Yelucai scolded in a deep voice.
Yelvchun sneered and said: "First Prince, don't be hypocritical. Don't use your father to pressure me. Now that Prime Minister Han wants to keep you as his heir, you are naturally overjoyed. What is the position? It's just an excuse. Da
Prince, what qualifications do you have to inherit the throne of my father? Wen Zhi, you are not much higher than me. Neither of us can write a good article, so needless to say. In terms of leadership ability, you are far behind.
Far inferior to me. Do you still remember the battle outside Xingzhongfu City? I just can’t figure out how you and your hundreds of thousands of cavalry were ambushed by the Jurchens? That was a wilderness with no hiding place at all.
In this way, you were ambushed by others, maybe you are blind. If you were not ambushed by them, and there were only 20, 30,000 of the more than 100,000 cavalry left, that would have been our best chance to defeat the Jurchens. My ten
Thirty thousand cavalry plus your 120,000 cavalry total 250,000. We can completely defeat the Liao people's 170,000 cavalry at the foot of Xingzhongfu City.
All annihilated. If we had succeeded at that time, how could we have fought today? How could so many people die? Such a high price was paid? How could my father be shot by a crossbow arrow and dying under the Liaoyang City? All of this was caused by your stupidity.
As a result, if something happens to my father this time, it will be your fault. Why do you still have the face to inherit the throne? If I were you, I would be ashamed to death."
Yelucai was stunned, pointed at Yeluchun and said: "You...you...you are talking nonsense. How can this be my responsibility? You...you...spew blood."
Yelucai's eloquence was not as good as that of Yeluchun. He couldn't find the words to refute for a while, so he could only refute with nonsense and bloody words. But the refutation was obviously weak.
Yelv Chun was very proud. He felt that if his words came out, everyone would lean towards him. The eldest prince was a loser. It was a joke for him to take charge.
"Second prince, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. The eldest prince was ambushed and defeated in the battle at Xingzhong Mansion, but that is no reason to blame him. Who among the leading generals here has never been defeated? Aren't they all incompetent?
?How can you put the blame for the emperor's injury on the eldest prince? Not to mention your emperor's succession to deny our dynasty system. The first thing the emperor did after he succeeded was to issue an edict to inform the world.
All the regulations remain the same, don’t you know? Even if you don’t decide whether to establish a heir apparent or not, the decision should be made through peaceful discussion, instead of being angry and accusing like you, or even criticizing with blood. No matter what, the eldest prince is your elder brother.
You still have to abide by it, right? It is unethical for you to be so rude to your brother. For this alone, you are not qualified." Han Yanshou said in a cold and deep voice. Yelucai may not be able to refute him with words.
, but Han Yanshou easily caught him, and quickly controlled the situation with a series of blows.
Yelv Chun said angrily: "After all, didn't you Han Yanshou just want to establish the eldest prince? Then why are you discussing it in a hypocritical manner? To put it bluntly, are you treating everyone like monkeys?"
Han Yanshou sneered and said: "If you say that, I won't refute it. I only know something that is for the benefit of Daliao, and I have no selfish motives. I have a clear conscience."
Yelv Chun sneered and walked out, waving his hands and saying: "Everything you say is right, but now that my father is seriously injured, you are here to bully me. In short, I, Ye Luchun, do not recognize the results of your so-called negotiation. I just
Listen to your father's will. If your father decrees that the throne is for the eldest prince, I, Yelvchun, will not say a word of objection and will wholeheartedly assist the eldest prince. However, if someone oversteps his authority and takes advantage of my father's critical situation for selfish reasons,
Yelvchun will never agree to the appointment of a crown prince."
Brother Meng Sa, Bald Bone Sa Xiao Zhenggang and other chiefs also stood up and walked out. Brother Meng Sa shouted: "We agree with what the second prince said. The emperor is in a coma now and don't believe it. It is not the emperor's wish to establish a crown prince at this time. We don't agree with him."
Agreed. We don’t care who you want to appoint. Anyway, we won’t recognize it. Unless the emperor gives an order.”
There were more than a dozen officials and generals from Yelvchun's side, and they all got up and left the table with them.
Han Yanshou's face was livid and he frowned silently. The second prince and several chiefs were making such a fuss, which made things very embarrassing. Han Yanshou deliberately ignored them and directly decided on the eldest prince's affairs.
However, I am afraid that it will lead to division and bad consequences, so I am hesitant.
Yelucai said softly: "Prime Minister Han, gentlemen, why don't we discuss this matter for the time being. My father is still in critical condition, and I don't think it's a good idea to talk about these things at this moment. Besides, my second brother's temper... I don't think so either.
I don’t want to hurt the harmony.”
Han Yanshou looked at Yelucai blankly and sighed in his heart. At this time, Yelucai still said such things, which shows that he may not be suitable to inherit the throne of Daliao. At this moment, he should do his duty, make a decisive decision, and be decisive before he can deal with it.
People's hearts control the situation. The fact that he said these words shows that this person really has no ability or means, and it is almost the same as a waste. Maybe he should change his mind. Although Yelu Chun is arrogant, maybe he is the most suitable candidate at this moment.
.
Once he had such an idea, Han Yanshou's intention to force a decision on the matter was shaken. So he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, we will decide later. Let's not decide on the matter for the time being to avoid complications."
…
Yelv Chun came out of the tent angrily, and led his guards back to his camp in Nancheng. When he returned to the tent, it was dark and cold inside, and there was not even a brazier lit.
He was so angry that he called the servant who was serving him and almost chopped him with a knife. Later, he found out that it was not because the servant was lazy, but because there was no charcoal to light the fire.
The supplies and food that were supposed to arrive this afternoon have not arrived. At this moment, the charcoal fire in the camp has been cut off, and the only way to make a fire is to wet the trees with felled firewood. The servant actually lit the fire, but the smoke from the wet firewood was too great, and the second prince
Another one with bared teeth and smoke all over the tent, the second prince would definitely hit someone, so he exterminated him. I was trying to find a way to find dry firewood everywhere, but I didn’t expect the second prince to come back at this time.
After finally finding dry firewood and lighting up the fire, the tent became a little warmer. Yelvchun's anger slowly subsided. But he was still angry and sat by the fire in a daze, thinking about something. At this time, there was a sound coming from outside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the curtain opened, and seven or eight tribal chiefs, including Meng Sa Ge Tu Gu Sa Hulu Ba, came in.
"Why are the chiefs here? Why don't you go back to the camp to rest so late?" Yelv Chun was a little surprised. He actually had no friendship with the chiefs. These guys were always against their father. In fact, Yelu Chun
He still had some opinions against them. But today they all spoke up for him, and Yelv Chun suddenly felt good about them.
"The Second Prince was angry in the tent today. I'll wait to see the Second Prince comfort you. No, we went back to the tent to get some wine and meat. This is the reserve of our tribe's soldiers and horses, and there is only one left.
Not much. But since we are here to see the second prince, how can we come empty-handed? That would be very rude. Let's drink some wine and eat some meat together, and we will feel better."
Tu Gu smiled and took out the two large jars of wine he had brought. The other chiefs also took out a few pieces of beef and mutton. These things were good things at the moment, and Yelv Chun was also a good drinker. When he saw the wine
The kind that just couldn't walk, my throat suddenly became fluid and my stomach growled.
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Yelv Chun said politely, but he already signaled the servant to bring an iron pot and put it on the fire, put the meat into the pot and started cooking it.
