Chapter 1359 Madman
Yelujia and Yelu Xiao walked back to Shangjing with Yelu Hongji's head and coffin. No one dared to stop their progress along the way, and the ins and outs of things spread along the way. It was impossible to hide such a huge thing.
But all insiders concealed the fact that Yelu Hongji's head was made into a wine vessel.
This is a humiliation to the emperor and a humiliation to the Great Liao. Even if Yelujia hates the Empress Dowager and the court, he will not use Yelu Hongji's humiliation to expose them. To be honest, Yelujia really wants to see the expressions of Empress Dowager Xiao and the civil and military officials of the court.
After all, Yelu Hongji is also her biological son of Empress Xiao. Not only is he so powerful that he has met today, but he has also made his head into a wine vessel. How painful is this for a mother and a woman?
In fact, when Xiao Tali heard the news, he fainted. How could she not feel heartbroken when the flesh fell from his son? Although he had to die for the sake of Daliao, how could she bear such a huge insult to be made into a wine vessel?!
The emperor died in Zuzhou, which was something that many people could not imagine. They also believed that Yelu Hongji was seriously ill and stayed in the palace. Many people did not know the truth, but felt that Yelu Hongji might have returned to Zuzhou to treat his illness, and died in the end.
But more people learned from various channels that people on the street talked about the fire in the palace in winter and the empress dowager's command in the court. These things are linked to illustrate the problem.
It was not that people speculated, but that they had to think about it. The entire Shangjing City was in a strange atmosphere. There were not only those who were sad about Yelu Hongji's great deeds, but also those who were resentful of the Queen Mother's actions, and there were also many people who were loyal to the emperor and the Great Liao.
However, everyone knows that it has become a fact that the empress dowager has great power. Even if Batu proves that he is Xiao Man's person, it cannot prove that Xiao Man has any connection with the empress dowager or the Xiao family. Don't forget that he was sentenced to prison and Zuzhou City.
At this time, the court officials stood up and pointed the finger at Xiao Man, believing that Xiao Man was punishing the emperor who was dissatisfied with the treatment of the disease in Zuzhou City that year!
People often only believe what they want to believe. This view of the courtiers has been recognized by everyone, and they regard Yelujia and Yeluxiao as treacherous. Don’t forget that these two people have the responsibility to protect the emperor. You are now throwing dirty water on the empress dowager. Where were you when the emperor was stabbed?!
It was the fault of both of you who did not protect the emperor. Shouldn’t you admit your guilt and be punished at this time? Is it reasonable to still clamor in the capital that it was the empress dowager’s fault and the conspiracy between Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui?
So in the wind and waves, Yelu Xiao committed suicide. He shouted "Go ahead" and ran into death by the gate of Shangjing City. A large pile of red blood seemed so insignificant and so small compared to the entire Shangjing City wall.
Yelujia looked at all this in despair. Before they entered Shangjing City, everyone in Shangjing City stood on the side of the empress dowager. Even when facing the iron-like facts, there were still people who could turn black and white.
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Yelujia grinned and said that his affairs had not been completed and he could not die yet. The empress dowager of the Great Liao Dynasty did not dare to leave the city to welcome the emperor's coffin. It can be seen that she was timid in her heart. Not far away were Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui and many court officials. They stood there expressionlessly, as if the one who died was not the emperor or their monarch.
This is a great irony and sorrow. The death of a king of a country is so worthless. Yelujia took a last look at Yelu Xiao's body and walked slowly. The next way is to walk alone, but he will soon be with him.
Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui had very serious expressions. Yelu Jia actually saw sadness in Zhang Jian's eyes, and a strong sense of sorrow. He couldn't help but sarcastic: "What is the Left Prime Minister King Han doing? Why are you so solemn? You should celebrate it! Isn't this something you have been looking forward to for a long time? Your Majesty is dead, and your purpose has been achieved!"
Xiao Hui showed an angry expression: "Yelujia! You are arrogant, how can you talk nonsense at this time? This is a heart-killing statement!"
After a slap, Yelujia suddenly brought the wooden box in his hand to Xiao Hui: "Do you dare to say it in front of him?"
After seeing the wooden box, Xiao Hui's face changed drastically. He took a few steps back quickly, and his face turned extremely pale. This was his son-in-law and the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty. However, he was a supreme existence regardless of life or death, and his majesty was still there, so Xiao Hui really didn't have the courage to face it.
"The King of Han, the Privy Councilor of the Great Liao Dynasty, was actually frightened by a wooden box. Wouldn't it be a joke if you say it?!"
Zhang Jian stepped forward and reached out to take the wooden box beyond everyone's surprise, and his voice lowered slightly and said, "Yelujia, do you think you are not insulting the late emperor? The Empress Dowager has fainted several times in the palace. If you are still so crazy, you will be the one who ruined my great Liao Dynasty! Your Majesty should enter the tomb as the emperor's honor!"
Zhang Jian's actions did surprise Yelujia, but then he sneered: "I fainted several times? In my opinion, it is better to accompany Your Majesty on the road!" After saying that, Yelujia walked towards the emperor, Zhang Jian followed closely behind with the wooden box, and Xiao Hui cursed: "Crazy! Crazy!"
Zhang Jian knew that Xiao Hui was also scolding him, but he could no longer turn back at this time. It is true that he was on the side of the empress dowager. It does not mean that he had to give up the most basic things. Yelu Hongji was already dead. It can be said that all the rights of the Liao Dynasty would be controlled by the empress dowager, and internal troubles would be eliminated!
At this time, it was time to place the emperor, and at least let him enter the imperial tomb. Zhang Jian's heart was extremely complicated. Yelu Hongji's death was actually what he didn't want to see and what he wanted to happen the most.
His death meant that the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty ended, and that the rights of the Liao Dynasty were completely taken over by the Empress Dowager, forming a whole, without any problems of etiquette and law, and there was no possibility of restraint. The Empress Dowager's Junichi was replaced by the imperial edict and became the highest order of the Liao Dynasty.
Zhang Jian did this for the long-term peace and stability of the Liao Dynasty, and to allow the Liao Dynasty to recuperate as quickly as possible. After all, there is not much time now!
The palace gate of the palace has turned white, and the entire palace is also covered with plain white, with a bleak white veil covering everything. From the palace gate to all the palaces in the palace, all the white colors are all white, which looks quite cold in summer.
