The unexpected incident happened so suddenly that Han Yanshou was so shocked that he almost fainted. When he reacted, Yelv Chun's bloody long knife was already on his neck. The bodies of Imperial Physician Lu and two other Imperial Physicians had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Han Yanshou had experienced countless dangers and witnessed countless big scenes in his life, but at this moment, he was sweating all over with shock and didn't know what to do. He never expected that Yelv Chun would be so bold as to show up at Yelu Zongyuan's house.
He started killing people before he was sick, and he was so unscrupulous. This was something Han Yanshou was absolutely not mentally prepared for.
"Prime Minister Han, hey, you old man. Don't move. My knife is very sharp. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. Hahaha, Prime Minister Han has lived for such a long time and is still afraid of death.
What? Do you cherish your life even in your old age?" Yelv Chun sneered with a hint of ridicule.
Han Yanshou forced himself to calm down, quickly thought of countermeasures, weighed the situation in an instant, and felt calm.
"Yeluchun, you are so brave. You actually dared to kill the eldest prince, and in front of the emperor. You are worse than a beast." Han Yanshou shouted sharply.
"Shut up, old man! What can I not dare to do? This is all because of you. You, old man, insist on protecting the prince and becoming the emperor, so who am I? Ah? I don't have any grudges against you, yes, yes
I had a dispute with your nephew Han Zhang and beat him, but you, an old man, are dissatisfied with me? So what if I kill the eldest prince? Father? My father is lying there like a living dead. He can survive.
Are you going to survive tonight? You and the eldest prince are plotting here. Once the father dies, you will probably let the eldest prince succeed to the throne. How can I let you succeed?" Yelv Chun said with foaming at the mouth.
Han Yanshou said coldly: "Do you think you can succeed to the throne by killing the eldest prince? This move of yours will be opposed by officials and generals. Not only will you not be able to become the emperor, but you will die without a burial place. Mo
Forget, the army is not in your hands, and no one will support your actions. The eldest prince has an heir in Zhongjing, and the ministers can nominate him to the throne."
Yelu Chun laughed loudly and said: "I knew you would say that, are you trying to scare me? Don't you just want to say that your nephew Han Zhang still has 60,000 to 70,000 elite horse troops? You want to threaten me not to do anything to him?
Are you making a mistake because your nephew Han Zhang will kill me? Hahaha, old man, but you have forgotten that it is not just your nephew who has soldiers and horses. I am not afraid to tell you the truth, the reason why I dare
They are so decisive precisely because they have the support of the tribal chiefs, who also have 80,000 or 90,000 troops in their hands. Moreover, they are ready to attack. I'm afraid your nephew is still whining in the military camp.
He was asleep, how did he know that the tribal soldiers and horses had surrounded their military camp and were waiting for my order."
Yelv Chun said these words proudly, and Han Yanshou's expression changed from anger to surprise, and finally revealed a look of surprise.
"I see, that's it. These bitches took advantage of the chaos to rebel after all. I was worried that they would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but I didn't expect them to find you. Hahaha, Second Prince, you are really stupid, you
Do you think they are really helping you? Your father is such a brave and resourceful person.
They couldn't hold them back or conquer them. They sent troops to enjoy more benefits and to become a state within the Liao. Your father was forced to agree to their harsh conditions, and they were willing to send troops.
These are evil wolves that eat people but don't spit out their dregs. Do you actually believe that they will help you? They just encourage you to do stupid things, and then they will hold you tightly in their hands and play with you. If they want you to die, they will kill you.
You can live if you want. Second Prince, think about it carefully." Han Yanshou sighed and smiled bitterly.
Yelv Chun frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Now you are desperately trying to frame them, but I don't believe it. So what if they have evil intentions? I'm just using them, and we use each other."
I have promised them that all the grassland and deserts three hundred miles west of Shangjing Road will be divided equally among them, and they will be kings of vassals and exercise autonomy. This is the price I am willing to pay. It is indeed a high price, but
So what? It's better than me being killed by you after the eldest prince succeeded to the throne. I won the position of Emperor of Daliao, which is already a great reward. I don't care if they want to govern themselves. Don't even think about your rhetoric.
Sowing discord. I just ask you, are you willing to support my succession as Emperor of Daliao? If you are willing to help me, I can spare your life and let you still be the prime minister. You only need to call your nephew.
, just order him to hand over his military power. We can talk about everything. Otherwise...don't blame me for being rude."
Han Yanshou looked at Yelv Chun blankly, and after a while he let out an old sigh.
"Second Prince, you have lost your mind. Daliao has already reached such a situation, but you still want to cause trouble to Xiao Qiang? Look at your father lying there, he has been messed up by Jurchen and is about to lose his life.
Now, can you really take on the heavy responsibility of Daliao? The main reason why I chose the eldest prince is that the eldest prince is more loyal than you. He can listen to the opinions of his ministers, and may be able to unite the ministers and share the burden.
You are responsible for the national calamity. But you can't do it. You are too irritable, too impulsive, and too casual. If you become the emperor of Daliao, you will not only be inconsistent with the ancestral system, but you will also be unable to reverse the current situation. If you become the emperor of Daliao, I, Daliao, will not be able to do it.
It’s over. I do this because I wholeheartedly serve Daliao. Yes, I am not a loyal minister. After your father seized the throne, I supported him and felt ashamed of the late emperor. However, I have no guilt for Daliao.
Because your father can make Daliao strong, he is a suitable candidate for the emperor of Daliao. So I support him. I act only for the overall situation, not for the small details. This is what I think is great.
Loyalty. Loyalty to the country, the country, and the country of Liao allows me, Liao, to continue to prosper. Do you understand my thoughts? You asked me to support your accession to the throne. In fact, I have no psychological discomfort at all, but the premise is that you are the best.
candidate. But you are not. Your behavior at this time shows that you are a confused person. You have put the country of Liao Dynasty in danger. You only care about being the emperor yourself, but you are the emperor.
Can you be comfortable? You are too stupid."
Yelvchun said angrily: "Shut up! Why can't I make Daliao stronger? How can you say that I am not suitable? Who do you think you are?"
thing?"
"Of course I am nothing, but I have my principles. I have assisted three generations of Liao emperors, so I naturally know what conditions are needed to be the emperor of Liao. It is definitely not someone like you. Second prince, I advise you to step back from the cliff.
.I can keep the matter of you killing the eldest prince a secret for you. Those chiefs have evil intentions. If you can help me lure them into the situation and kill them all, the blame for the death of the eldest prince will fall on them. After that, the chief will be elected.
The prince's eldest son Yelu Pingshan ascended the throne. Although he is only fourteen years old, I think he will be a good emperor. Second prince, you have made a big mistake. I am willing to cover up this mistake for you and work with you to resolve the crisis. But
You must not make the same mistake again and again." Han Yanshou said in a deep voice.
Yelvchun looked at Han Yanshou coldly and said: "After doing this for a long time, are you still unwilling to assist me in becoming emperor? Are you unwilling to ask your nephew to hand over military power? Are you just looking down on me?" I'm not even as good as that young boy from Yelu Pingshan, am I?"
Han Yanshou said softly: "Second Prince, everyone has his own strengths. The Second Prince's strengths are not in running the country."
"Hahaha, old man, aren't you afraid of death?" Yelv Chun laughed.
"I have lived to the age of seventy, longer than many people. Do you think I am afraid of death? Second Prince, do you want to kill me? You have to consider the consequences. This life is not taken lightly. ." Han Yanshou said coldly.
"Are you trying to scare me again? Let me show you my courage." Yelv Chun grabbed Han Yanshou and dragged him to Yelu Zongyuan's bedside. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am determined to be the emperor, father. , you are in pain now, my son will eliminate your pain for your own good."
After Yelu Chun said that, he raised his foot and stepped hard on the sunken purple spot on Yelu Zongyuan's chest. Amidst Han Yanshou's panicked shouts, the broken sternum on Yelu Zongyuan's chest made a rattling sound. The bones were pounding. It penetrated into the heart and lungs. Yelv Zongyuan, who was already unconscious, let out a shrill cry, blood spurted out from his mouth, struggled for a moment, and then died.
A cruel smile appeared on Yelv Chun's face, and he gasped: "See? I had no intention of leaving a way out for myself. Han Yanshou, you know my determination now, right?"
Han Yanshou looked at the dead Yelu Zongyuan, his long eyebrows trembling and the muscles on his face trembling. Although the emperor was about to die, his son killed him in the end. This was probably the most unwilling result for him. In an instant , Han Yanshou's heart was as cold as death. He knew that the overall situation could no longer be reversed, and the future of Daliao would be confused.
"One last question, are you willing to help me?" Yelv Chun shouted coldly.
Han Yanshou sneered repeatedly, without even looking at Yelu Chun. He only leaned over to wipe Yelu Zongyuan's wide, open eyes.
With a popping sound, a scimitar emerged from Han Yanshou's chest, and blood dripped down the tip of the knife. Han Yanshou stiffened and shouted tremblingly: "Your Majesty, my Daliao...is finished. "
After saying that, the body suddenly fell to the ground.
