"Catch it!" Guo Chong's shout came from the window early in the morning. Guo Shao put the silver spoon in his hand into the porcelain bowl after drinking the porridge, walked over and looked outside, and saw two children jumping towards a basket. Guo Chong was overjoyed and lay straight on the ground to see the frightened sparrow inside.

Seeing this, Guo Shao thought these two children were quite amazing! Guo Shao had done this more than once when he was a child, and the impact was very deep. He tried many times and only caught it once, because the sparrow was very alert. Whether he would go in to eat rice depends on his luck; and the waiting time was too long.

"I'll see they're two." Guo Shao praised in front of Jinzhan.

Before Jinzhan could comb her hair, she came out in her regular clothes and helped Guo Shao dress up while not waking up, and laughed softly, "You have to be talented if you want to play."

Guo Shao said seriously: "It's really difficult to catch sparrows like this. I definitely can't catch them now and I don't have that patience anymore."

Jinzhan said: "How to deal with the sparrows that the children caught?"

Guo Shao said: "After a while, Jinzhan asked them, I have to go to the Political Consultative Hall."

Fu Jinzhan walked around Guo Shao's waist with her arms, and she had to lean on Guo Shao's chest, pulled the ribbon from behind and buckled it on him, then reached out to smooth the silk surface on his shoulder, and said, "It's easier to get my hair up, so you don't need to comb your hair."

Guo Shao smiled and said, "The monks in the temple are the most convenient!"

Fu Jinzhan whispered, "I heard that Wang Zhong sent Xiao Siwen's daughter to the Wansui Hall the night before yesterday. Why did Your Majesty drive her away?" She stood on tiptoe and said in his ear: "You can do anyone."

Guo Shao was speechless. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to Jinzhan and left Zide Hall.

As soon as he reached the steps, eunuch Cao Tai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yiyin has been escorted to Beijing."

Guo Shao paused for a moment, turned around and asked, "When did it happen?"

Cao Tai said: "I came to Tokyo last night. After hearing this, I only waited for the report this morning."

"I understand." Guo Shao walked down the stone steps.

The imperial chariot was surrounded by the front and back, and went south along the straight and wide central axis. After passing Xuanyou Gate, he saw the magnificent and familiar Jinxiang Hall complex. As soon as Guo Shao got off the car, he saw a woman standing far away on the roadside, which was Li Yueji.

Guo Shao was slightly stunned and turned to look at Cao Tai. Cao Tai said, "I am on duty these two days. Concubine Li Xian begged him, so I dared to let her go out of Xuanyou's Sect... Because Your Majesty is coming to Jinxiang Hall today."

I'm afraid he was pleading for her father again, so he said calmly, "The time to discuss politics is still a little short. Please let Concubine Li Xian come to Yangde Hall."

"I obey the order." Cao Tai bowed.

Guo Shao first arrived at Yangde Hall, but it was still early. The sky was already bright and the sun had not yet risen. The light in the palace in the early morning was dim. The layout of the outer court of the palace was magnificent and upright, and the overall layout was relatively grand. There were few bright red and green colors, which made it even more ancient at this time. Guo Shao walked over the wooden floor of Yangde Hall and sat down on a collapsed wall.

A palace maid came in first and brought two cups of tea. Guo Shao smelled the fragrance of tea to prepare for the start of the day.

After a while, the eunuch Cao Tai brought Li Yueji in. She stood in front of several cases and hugged her hands in front of her abdomen, bent her knees and said, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

She was wearing a light purple skirt and red silk. Her fair skin on her face was carefully dressed up with rouge and powder, which made her look more gorgeous. The long skirt made her figure look longer, and the softness of the silk made her look more concave and convex. Guo Shao looked at it and felt that Li Yueji was actually quite beautiful and elegant. When he thought that she was a famous beauty in Dangxiang, he suddenly realized... But in the palace of the six palaces with beautiful women, he was no longer as noticeable as before.

"Concubine Li Xian, please sit down. Look, the palace servants have given you two cups of tea." Guo Shao said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yueji sat down carefully on the collapse beside several cases.

Guo Shao's health improved, he was in good spirits, and his eyes looked at her were very vivid. He spoke faster, but his tone was gentle and direct, "General Li (Li Yiyin) has arrived in Tokyo..."

Unexpectedly, Li Yueji said, "I want to talk to Your Majesty about Lingzhou today."

When Guo Shao heard this, he immediately stopped talking and looked at her face seriously, looking patiently at listening. He was not very interested, but just a skill of experience.

Li Yueji's eyes drooped and her voice gradually lowered, "I really know that I was wrong. You can't blame Your Majesty for not hiding Brother Hu's death. If you have to blame me, you will only blame me for doing whatever I want... If I hadn't been confused at the beginning, I wouldn't have agreed to take me to escape privately."

Guo Shao said in a generous tone: "It's over, it's better not to mention it."

Li Yueji raised her head, with a complicated expression, but looked at Guo Shao sincerely, "I don't know that the world is high and the earth is rich, so I regard marriage as a joke. The road to escape is difficult and I almost died at the mouth of a beast. Fortunately, Your Majesty saved me in time. I shouldn't have any grudges against Your Majesty, and I am just grateful for my life-saving."

Guo Shao nodded slightly, thinking. He thought that no matter what the purpose of both parties was at that time, marriage was something that both families agreed to, and it was really not up to me... But he also knew very well that if it were not for the force of the situation and power, would Li Yueji say this now?

Li Yueji asked softly again: "Your Majesty no longer blames me?"

Guo Shao said: "I don't care anymore."

"Your Majesty is so generous and has a lot of breasts." She pursed her red lips and looked at Guo Shao with a smile. Although the smile in her eyes was a bit forced, she felt much more relaxed.

Guo Shao glanced at her thick and smooth lips with an inadvertent look, picked up a few tea cups on the table and took a sip of water.

After a brief silence, Li Yueji also picked up the teacup and placed it on her lips, but did not drink it. At this time, the teacup between her fingertips was slightly awesome, and the tea water slowly flowed to her chest, and the soft silk material was immediately wet.

Guo Shao was stunned and stared at the scene in front of him. Li Yueji also looked at him, and the two looked at each other.

Not long after, Guo Shao thought about Li Yiyin's affairs and put down his teacup immediately, looked up at the eunuch Cao Tai at the entrance of Yangde Hall, and said, "Go to pass the imperial edict. I will not go to the Political Consultative Hall today, so I will let everyone go to the government office to scatter."

...

Xiao Siwen was in a bad mood. He gave up Yunzhou and led his army to Fengzhou first, and then returned to Shangjing.

Hedong gathered countless troops from Xu's army, and most of the Liao army mobilized by Xiao Siwen was trapped in Yanmen Pass and was completely damaged. At this time, it would be meaningless to compete with Xu's army for Yunzhou. So Xiao Siwen lost this city a few days after Xiao Siwen recovered it.

It was dusk when it arrived in Shangjing. Xiao Siwen immediately received the imperial edict from the Emperor of the Great Liao. The important ministers and nobles in the capital came to the palace to discuss matters the next morning.

Xiao Siwen didn't even have time to rest, so he immediately contacted Yelu Xizhen and Xiao's confidant overnight to go to the mansion to discuss first.

Tomorrow morning in the palace, it must be said that the Liao army suffered heavy losses in Hedong and suffered a huge defeat! The most important thing is, whose responsibility is?

When Xiao Siwen saw Yelu Xizhen, he said, "Fan Zhongyi and Yang Gun misled me! These two people are the culprits of the siege of Yanmen!"

Yelu Xizhen obviously knew about the defeat in Hedong for a long time, and was not surprised to hear this. He frowned and said, "Fan Zhongyi swears in front of the Khan and the officials, but now he has ruined such a big thing. He deserves his guilt... But Yang Gun is a little unfair."

"Oh?" Xiao Siwen made a casual voice. He thought about the reason why Yelu Xizhen pleaded for Yang Gun. One reason was that Yang Gun followed Yelu Xizhen's intention and came to persuade Xiao Siwen; the other reason was that Yang Gun saved Yelu Xizhen's brother Yelu Huer.

Yelu Xizhen and Yelu Huer are half-brothers of the same father and the common brotherhood does not seem to be really good. However, Yelu Xizhen must be repaid by Yang Gun's love because of his brotherhood...

Yelu Xizhen pondered: "Yang Gun wanted to dissuade this from the beginning. He heard that after he and Fan Zhongyi returned to Yunzhou from Hedong, they did not find any evidence of Xu's deceiving and seducing the enemy, but they persuaded Mr. Xiao and did not recommend that the Liao army enter the pass rashly."

Xiao Siwen said calmly: "If the King (North Court) thinks that Yang Gun is innocent, of course I have to look at your kindness."

Yelu Xizhen frowned and said, "Yang Gun's affairs are not important. He doesn't even have a single official position, and Fan Zhongyi is not important... These people are not in a position enough, so they may not be able to bear this responsibility."

"What does the king mean?" Xiao Siwen asked.

Yelu Xizhen said in a deep voice: "If you only blame two villains for their defeat, and such a great defeat will be left alone, many people will be dissatisfied. Instead of letting the people from Taizong take the opportunity to threaten us, it is better to retreat and advance. Mr. Xiao, you may not be able to escape this matter."

Xiao Siwen really couldn't deny it. Everyone knew that if he had not supported this big event, Fan Zhongyi and others would definitely not be able to do so! Xiao Siwen didn't say a word.

Yelu Xizhen sighed again and advised with kind words: "I have always supported Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao must be clear about it. However, the Liao Dynasty suffered heavy losses and so many people died. If the central government of the court was still the head of Prince Xiao, there would definitely be many people who were dissatisfied... What I mean is that Mr. Xiao retreated from the chair of the Privy Council envoy of the North Court and everyone would recommend another person to preside over the national affairs, which would ease the situation."

Yelu Xizhen paused and said meaningfully, "Even if the Privy Council Privy Councilor is not Mr. Xiao, at least he is still ours."

"The king said it is reasonable..." Xiao Siwen replied softly, but did not comment.

He walked back and forth in the room, and a very bad premonition enveloped his heart.

Xiao Siwen has never been obsessed with power and status, and has to sit in a position, but sometimes power and power really dare not let go easily... In the past, many people did not dare to act rashly on him because he was extremely powerful. If he attacked him, the opponent would also bear great risks; if there was no power and revenge, what else would those enemies under the hidden waves be worried about?

It’s too easy to retreat to advance.
