The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Although Yelu Yuliyan was temporarily freed from her wandering life, she was already disheartened by the current situation. The experience of being captured often woke her up from nightmares at night. After learning that Aguda was on his own expedition, she felt even lower. She had read extensively

Books, of course, I know that when the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed in history, every princess who survived was full of bitterness and humiliation. Therefore, she always kept a dagger next to her, waiting for the bad luck to come to her own end.

However, life is like a drama, full of joys and sorrows. The Dezhou Army not only succeeded in repelling the Jurchens, but also recovered the Xijing prefectures. Just as the panic settled down, to his surprise, he was pushed to the highest position of power on Xijing Road. In

Having grown up in the whirlpool of power struggles, she is very aware that her situation is the result of many compromises. However, as a princess, she can only become a tool for others to fight for power and gain, and cannot control her own destiny.

The hardships of her youth made Yu Liyan realize the sufferings of the world, and also tempered her tenacity. She knew that she could not escape, but calmed down. The world was so full of strife, and it was not easy to survive in the chaos.

Things that require a high degree of intelligence and survival skills

.And even among the Khitan people, where women have a high status, in a special era when monarchy and husband's power are equal, they only exist as vassals of men, and they actually have few opportunities to serve the country. By chance, she became

For a moment, she thought there might be something she could do.

On the fifth day of November, the carriage welcoming the princess of the Shu Kingdom of Liao Dynasty entered Xijing City. For convenience, she did not live in the left-behind embassy office next to Gongji Gate, but lived in a two-entry courtyard in the west of the city.

She is the Queen Mother of Liao Kingdom

Xiao Yanyan's palace is called Fengtai. The terrain of Xijing City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. This was originally the highest place in the city, so Empress Dowager Xiao built two platforms on the left and right several feet high. Buildings were built on the platforms, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery inside and outside the city.

.

Xiao Yanyan was an influential figure in the history of the Liao Kingdom. She once held great power in the Liao Kingdom and could be described as a veritable empress. She presided over the establishment of the "Chanyuan Alliance" of Song and Liao Dynasties. Yu Liyan's move in today seems to be the end of the world.

There is a certain number. The officials and clan members in the city came to congratulate the court, and they saw Gao

The princess sitting on the seat looked upright, looked calmly, and behaved elegantly. Coupled with her innate beauty and decent responses, people suspected that her appearance was not proportional to her actual age. It was really unbelievable, but she was indeed.

She is the princess of Shu who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

Yu Liyan went up to the dressing room, which was said to be the favorite place of her grandmother a hundred years ago. She opened the attic window and looked outside. The big flag on the flagpole in front of the door danced in the wind and made a loud fluttering sound.

Xijing City, which had just experienced the war, seemed to have not yet awakened from the panic. There was not a single pedestrian on the street. There were only a few sparks in the huge city, and it was so dark that it was depressing.

"Princess, it's snowing!" the maid put a white rat skin cloak on Yu Liyan and said softly.

"Yeah!" Yu Liyan responded softly, reaching out to catch a falling snowflake. Watching it slowly melt, "Will I be like a snowflake? Everything in front of me is just a passing cloud. A little bit of it will appear.

lose!"

The scene in the hall today is still vivid in my mind. Those people did not seem to take me as a princess seriously. Instead, she was a tool for power struggle between them, whether it was my uncle Yelu Yuqi or my uncle who claimed that he could not beat her.

Xiao Chala argued endlessly about the appointment of a small county magistrate in front of him, but no one thought to ask his opinion.

"Princess, they sent quite a lot of good things!" Just as Yu Liyan was feeling sorry for himself, the maid's exclamation came from behind him.

"Boriai, why are you rummaging through things!" Yu Liyan said with a frown as he looked at the boxes that were opened on the ground. The maids and guards in the yard were all arranged by her uncle Yelu Yuqu, and there must be spies among them to monitor her.

Every move she makes, so she has to be careful.

"Princess, I just want to put things in order, and don't want to disturb the princess!" Boriai turned pale with fright and hurriedly saluted.

"Who sent these?" Yu Liyan asked casually without going into details, seeing that these things looked familiar.

"Princess, the Commander-in-Chief said it was sent by the Second Young Master Zhao. Congratulations to the princess for taking over and staying at home. The white rat skin cloak was also sent with her!" Boriai replied carefully.

"Oh! How could it be him?" Yu Liyan was a little surprised. She only knew him once, so she didn't know what he meant by giving her a gift. "These are all my old things!" She opened a box and found that they were all her own.

The jewelry that was lost when captured by the Jurchens was opened again and turned out to be one of his own clothes.

"This Second Young Master Zhao is really interesting. When giving gifts, he gives others his own things!" Boriai said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yu Liyan glared at Boriai and said, but his heart stirred up.

Among the items returned were not only the daily necessities of the past, but also his own princess seal. These items must have been handed over to the Jin Emperor as the most important trophies to ask for credit. But now they were sent intact by Zhao Er.

Also, this shows that he took it back from the Jurchens, but according to his uncle, he is just a kid from a noble family, how could he have such ability? Could it be that he was the one who made a surprise attack on Aguda's camp?

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Boriai looked at the princess in a daze and asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, you put all these things away, I'm tired!" Yu Liyan said casually, but he was still thinking about it in his heart. Thinking of the meeting that day, Yelu Yuqu and Zhao Er seemed to be familiar with each other, and they called each other brothers.

, but his words were very respectful, which showed that he was afraid of Zhao Er.

"Could it be that Zhao Er is the real lord of Dezhou? He was responsible for defeating the Jurchens, seizing Xijing, regaining the lost territory, etc.!" Yu Liyan gradually figured out that this mysterious Zhao Er was by no means the person he seemed to be.

"My uncle is trying his best to get me married to him. I guess it's because of this! If it comes true, maybe he can help me!" If a woman wants to realize her ambition, marriage is often the only shortcut, just like in this building.

The ancestor who had lived there, Yu Liyan fell into deep thought again...

………

At this moment, Zhao Tong did not know that he had offended Yue Lao'er again. He was discussing with Ashu the establishment of a resistance army, contacting the anti-Aguda forces, instigating various Jurchen tribes, overthrowing the Aguda regime, and establishing a new regime. After more than half a year of planning,

, Ashu selected more than a thousand Jin Army soldiers captured by the Dezhou Army. After some training and brainwashing, and careful screening, only 500 people remained. These people will sneak back to Jurchen as his team.

Engaged in the revolutionary cause of overthrowing the tyranny of Aguda.

"Mr. Ashu, are these people you selected reliable?" Zhao Tong said as he poured a glass of wine for Ashu.

"Don't worry, brother, I have chosen people from the Pu Nie Tribe, the Mo Nian Tribe, the He Shi Lie Tribe, the Shi Lu Tribe, and the Tao Deli Tribe. These five tribes are feuding with the Wanyan Tribe and will never betray me!

"A Shu said with confidence.

"That's good. It's just that the Wanyan department has become a trend, so you still have to be careful!" Zhao Tong nodded and said.

"Tsk, who are the Wanyan tribe? They didn't dare to provoke us back then. Later, they got what they are today with the help of the Khitan people, but they..." Ashu drank all the wine in the bowl and started talking.

Their grievances with Wanyan Department.

Pu Nie tribe, this is an extremely fierce and powerful clan, and they have inherited the eagle spirit of being willing to bend but not bend in their bones. As early as the reign of Sui and Tang Dynasties, this tribe had a very rebellious spirit, "rebellious and submissive at times", and once assisted Goguryeo to prevent the Tang Dynasty

, assist the Bohai Kingdom to stop the Khitan. In the tribal war,

They continued to expand their territory. They and the other four adjacent tribes were collectively called the Five Kingdoms. When Yelu Zongzhen became emperor, in order to appease Jurchen, he awarded the title of Jiedushi of the Five Kingdoms to Ba Yimen, the chief of the Puni Alliance.

, during that period, the Wanyan tribe was far less powerful than the Punie tribe, and was just their little follower.

In order to resist the forced conquest of the Khitans, the five Jurchen heroes rose up to rebel against the Liao. They killed the Silver Angel, captured the Liao guards, blocked the Eagle Road, and prevented the Liao Eagle Envoys and officials at all levels from entering the Five Kingdoms.

During the process of pacifying Yinglu in the Liao Dynasty, those who accepted the invitation

The Wanyan tribe, together with the Liao army, defeated the coalition of five tribes, captured and killed the clan leader. These tribes became enemies with the Wanyan tribe and fought against each other. However, they were all defeated by the increasingly powerful Wanyan tribe and had to

Dependent on them, but the hatred did not disappear.

Zhao Tong slowly understood. It turned out that it was the Wanyan tribe that first accepted the leadership of the Liao Kingdom, and the tribe to which Ashu and the others belonged was against the Khitan. But as the Wanyan tribe was supported by the Khitan, they began to rebel against the Liao.

, but other tribes that were defeated by the Wanyan tribe began to cooperate with the Khitan people to deal with the Wanyan tribe. Among them, Ashu was their outstanding representative. Things are really fickle. Hatred can even make people change their stance and betray their past beliefs.

, now he is relieved!

"Brother, do you really think our chance has come?" Ashu has been fighting against the Wanyan tribe for more than 20 years and has experienced countless failures. Now that he is old, he really can't afford to lose!

"In the six or seven years after the Wanyan tribe recovered its various ministries, they traveled from Tokyo to Shangjing, from Shangjing to Zhongjing, and from Zhongjing to Xijing. However, they wanted to use troops against Nanjing, and they also provoked the party members. They used troops on such a large scale and tried their best to mobilize troops.

The long front, occupying such a large territory, has become the end of the war. It can be said that the more ferocious the climax, the faster the exhausted people will die!" Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"Haha, what brother said is rough, but it makes sense!" Ashu laughed and said, "Then why does brother want us to start from Korea?" He laughed for a while, wiped his tears and asked again.

"Liaodong is where the Wanyan Department has been operating for a long time. The taxes there are light and you can get some benefits. So if you enter rashly, it will be difficult to stand. The foundation is not strong, so it will be difficult to fight..."
