In the dark dungeon, Liu Liufu walked down the stone steps and came to Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian, the originally energetic prime minister, had become unkempt and dirty. Perhaps because of his white hair all night, the gray hair on his head was mixed with a little black look even worse.

The throat was slightly blocked, and Liu Liufu said in a slight voice: "Zhongbao..."

Hearing someone calling him a word, Zhang Jian looked up and Xiao Hui and Liu Liufu appeared in front of him. Zhang Jian felt that he was dreaming. He rubbed his eyes hard and believed that it was the two of them. He rushed over and pulled Liu Liufu and Xiao Hui's sleeves and burst into tears.

Until this time, he did not believe the news that Yelu Zongzhen had died in battle, and asked with sobs: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Is he really dead in battle? Xiao Hui, tell me this is not true... I would rather believe that this is a frame-up on me than believe that Your Majesty died in battle!"

Xiao Hui saw Zhang Jian’s appearance and sighed slightly: “Your Majesty, I really died in Yuanyangbo. Our Daliao lost…”

Zhang Jian, who was crying, seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat on the ground like a rotten wood, staring blankly at the scattered straw on the ground, and was stunned, muttering to himself: "How is it possible, how is it possible!"

Liu Liufu squatted down slowly and said to Zhang Jian: "Zhongbao, Your Majesty has been killed in battle. It is understandable that the general imprisons you. Da Liao has not forgotten you..."

Zhang Jian waved his hand powerlessly and said, "It's okay, even if Boren kills me? Your Majesty's death is my suggestion, otherwise Your Majesty would not surprise the imperial camp of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. All the blame is not as good as my head. The most important thing now is to defend Datong Mansion, otherwise the entire Yanyun will fall. The Song people will get Yanyun like a fish in water, and it will be even more difficult for me to go south to the Great Liao Dynasty. I believe that your Majesty's spirit in heaven also hopes that this will be the same. As long as you use the mourning soldiers, it is not impossible to win."

Even now, Zhang Jian is still worried about Yan Yun's problem, and is even more worried that he will not be able to fulfill Yelu Zong's true instructions. He must fulfill His Majesty's emperor's long-cherished wish, otherwise the guilt in his heart would torture him to death. Zhang Jian felt that the only value of his life was to protect Datong Prefecture and wait for the reinforcements from the Liao Dynasty to take back Yanyun's land.

Liu Liufu sighed and said, "Zhongbao, the land of Yanyun is important to our Great Liao Dynasty, but now there is an urgent need to be solved..."

After hearing his words, Zhang Jian suddenly whispered: "What else can compare to Yan Yun? What do you mean is that the Daliao wants to give up Datong Prefecture and even return to the capital?!"

As the Left Prime Minister, Zhang Jian saw Duan's suspicion through Liu Liufu's words. Since this is the case, Xiao Hui did not intend to hide it from this former old friend. He spoke in a low voice: "My Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty is facing the battle for the throne, and the Crown Prince Yelu Chongyuan may seize the throne... The imperial concubine ordered us to return to the capital to help the eldest son inherit the throne!"

After hearing Xiao Hui's words, Zhang Jian cursed: "Despicable and shameless! A treacherous villain! A stupid pig!... There is no distinction between family and country! How can we give up Datong Prefecture at this time? Once this happens, I, Daliao, will never take back Yanyun's hope! Could it be that Yelu Chongyuan wants to be a sinner of Daliao? How can he have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors of Daliao after his death?!"

That's right, Liu Liufu and Xiao Hui smiled bitterly and looked at each other and said, "Yelu Chongyuan's wolf ambition is more important in front of him than in Yanyun's land. His son Yelu Nelugu even spread rumors and spread the throne everywhere..."

Zhang Jian was shocked and pulled Liu Liufu's sleeve and said, "How could this happen? How could His Majesty's words after drinking were taken seriously?! Didn't there be any ministers in the court refute him?!"

Liu Liufu said with an ugly face: "How can it not be? But Your Majesty did say the words of the Crown Brother who passed the throne, which is something that many people know!"

Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian looked at Liu Liufu with an ugly expression and said, "So, the power of Shangjing City has begun to be divided?!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Liu Liufu nodded helplessly and said, "That's right, some of the civil and military officials in the capital, the North and South Yamen have begun to support Yelu Chongyuan. I don't know how many benefits he promised."

The three of them were speechless. In fact, it was the disaster left by Yelu Zongzhen himself. His Majesty trapped his mother and took over the power. Yelu Chongyuan was the one who provided information and was named the crown prince. As a result, he was favored and trusted by the emperor.

Even the mess left by the emperor, Xiao Hui, Zhang Jian and others, as court officials, wanted to clean up for him. Liu Liufu said with a sigh: "The emperor's sorrow is falling in his blood, this is the sorrow of the world!"

Zhang Jian quickly stood up, looked at Liu Liufu and said coldly: "You should not stand there and feel a lot of emotion. This is a very urgent time. If you believe me, you will let me go. Someone will fight to the death to protect the eldest son of the emperor ascend the throne to the throne!"

Xiao Hui and Liu Liufu looked at each other. It seemed that Zhang Jian knew that the Liao Dynasty could not live without him now, yes! Now it is the time to use people, but Zhang Jian's wisdom and means can help the eldest son ascend the throne successfully.

Since this is the case, Liu Liufu went to the water to push the boat. He originally planned to let Zhang Jian assist the eldest son of the emperor ascend the throne to the throne. Now that Zhang Jian gave him a step, he naturally asked him to come down. Liu Liufu said, "You are afraid that you know my purpose. You didn't come to see me off when you left the capital. Now that you are in trouble, I will help you."

Zhang Jian smiled and said, "I knew you were in danger. I didn't expect that you are my savior now. Well, I will accept your love. When the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne to the emperor, I will kill Zhang Jian, and I will immediately hit death on the imperial ranks?"

Liu Liufu reached out and hit Zhang Jian with three palms and laughed: "This is a great good!"

Xiao Hui was finally satisfied. In his opinion, Zhang Jian did not escape the blame, but he knew the tricks between civil officials? If Zhang Jian really assisted Yelu Hongji ascended the throne, would Yelu Hongji still let him die?

Zhang Jian’s lightness was actually just a trick. Liu Liufu knew this but he still wanted to borrow his power. After all, he was the former left prime minister and Yelu Zongzhen’s right-hand man. His methods were quite outstanding. Otherwise, the imperial concubine Xiao Tali would not have asked him to assist the eldest son by name.

Liu Liufu clapped his hands, and a waiter brought a gorgeous silk robes to present them. Zhang Jian's former left prime minister seal was also on it, as if Zhang Jian was not in prison but had just stayed in the inn, with his waist and decorations.

Even the prisoner's eyes looked at Zhang Jian, and he still looked up as respectful and upright as usual. What did he say? As long as the Zuo Prime Minister survived the disaster, he would definitely make a comeback. It seems that he was right to secretly give him good treatment. In the entire prison, only Zhang Jian's food was ordered from a restaurant outside, and only Zhang Jian's haystack was clean and fresh.
