Not afraid of acne

However, none of the soldiers outside the city were vaccinated against smallpox.

If smallpox were allowed to spread throughout the army...

The epidemic then worsened again.

Smallpox vaccination is limited.

It can only be planted first for the people in the city who are suffering greatly.

The imperial court has begun artificially breeding cattle to be infected with cowpox.

Soon, smallpox vaccinations will begin in various states.

.....

at the same time,

Although Nanjing was the most prosperous city in the Liao Dynasty,

However, it still can't compare to Tokyo, the city that never sleeps, of the Great Liang Dynasty.

After nightfall, besides the patrolling soldiers,

There was hardly anyone around after that.

The Liao and Jin dynasties fought a war for several years.

Taxes are becoming increasingly heavy.

As soon as night fell, the people would all hide under their blankets.

Only a few large households had their lights on.

Drinking and drinking each other.

Although the national situation is difficult,

However, many Liao nobles

They still indulge in sensual pleasures and debauchery.

At the residence of Grand Commandant Li Chuwen,

It was also a gathering place for high-ranking officials.

In March, Yelü Yanxi fled into Jiashan.

After several days without any news,

Li Chuwen then led the way in supporting Yelü Chun, the Prince of Liang in the Southern Court, to become emperor.

Yelü Chun reciprocated.

He also entrusted Li Chuwen and his confidants with important responsibilities.

Li Chuwen was appointed Grand Commandant.

Li Chunong, the younger brother, was appointed to the Privy Council.

His son, Li Shi, became the Junior Supervisor of the Imperial Treasury.

His trusted confidant, Zuo Qigong, was appointed Minister of Works.

Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) such as Li Shuang and Chen Mi were also appointed to positions.

Relying on Yelü Chun's confidant,

Li Chuwen's faction is extremely popular.

Many members of the Liao royal family vied to befriend Li Chuwen.

In the past, when Li Chuwen gathered people, he would always throw a big banquet.

Laughter and cheers filled the air.

Today, however, everyone was sitting upright and proper.

The atmosphere was quite solemn.

Seeing that all his trusted confidants had arrived, Li Chuwen said,

"The King of Xiangyin has sent an envoy today,"

"It is said that the Prince of Xiangyin has already gathered 50,000 elite cavalry from Tiande, Yunnei, and other prefectures,"

"He will bring his troops to Nanjing in August,"

"To resist the Jin dynasty, send clothing from Nanjing to Shangjing."

Chapter 1833 Trouble in the Liao Kingdom

The crowd heard that Yelü Yanxi, whom they had deposed,

They actually managed to gather 50,000 troops.

Their expressions changed involuntarily.

Zuo Qigong said in a panic,

"Has the Prince of Xiangyin questioned Emperor Tianxi about his actions?"

Li Chuwen shook his head and said, "On the contrary,"

"The Prince of Xiangyin also commended the emperor for his meritorious service in defending Nanjing."

"The Liao Kingdom is now divided in two,"

"Emperor Tianxi ruled over Nanjing Circuit."

"The Xiangyin King commands some tribes in Xijing Road and Shangjing Road."

"How the Prince of Xiangyin turned against Emperor Tianxi,"

"It will only allow the Jin Dynasty to reap the benefits."

Li Chuneng said, "Perhaps it's because Emperor Tianxi is seriously ill."

"The Prince of Xiangyin wanted to sit back and observe the situation,"

"Take back Nanjing Road."

Upon hearing this, Li Chuwen

He couldn't help but frown.

Yelü Chun had only been emperor for a few months when

He suddenly got sick.

By this time, he was already quite ill.

Li Shi said, "If Emperor Tianxi welcomes back the Prince of Xiangyin,"

"At that time, the Prince of Xiangyin might not hold Emperor Tianxi accountable,"

"But those of us who were the first to enthrone Emperor Tianxi,"

"I'm afraid they won't escape punishment."

Before supporting Yelü Chun,

Li Chuwen served as prime minister.

His confidants were all civil officials.

Later, although Li was appointed as the Privy Councilor,

However, Li Chuneng was also unable to obtain the weapons from Xiao Gan, Yelü Dashi, and others.

How much military power did they seize?

They initially supported Yelü Chun as their successor.

This was also because Yelü Chun had a high reputation in the army.

Xiao Gan, Yelü Dashi, and others also sided with them.

Only then could they bestow the yellow robe upon Yelü Chun.

If the Prince of Xiangyin really returns

They also dared not punish Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi, who held military power.

But the lives of these civil officials were in grave danger.

Li Chuwen glanced at everyone.

"Emperor Tianxi will surely convene a meeting tomorrow to discuss matters,"

Do you have any countermeasures?

The people in the hall looked at each other.

For a moment, I didn't know how to deal with it.

Li Shi, Li Chuwen's son, saw that no one was saying anything.

"We absolutely cannot let the Prince of Xiangyin return,"

"Otherwise, we're finished."

Li Chuwen nodded.

"We were the first to support Emperor Tianxi,"

"The Prince of Xiangyin is not a magnanimous person,"

“Once they return, they will surely punish us.”

Zuo Qigong said, "Emperor Tianxi has no children."

"The King of Xiangyin has brought his troops,"

"The Jin Kingdom is eyeing us covetously again,"

"I'm afraid Emperor Tianxi won't refuse the entry of the Prince of Xiangyin."

Jinshi Li Shuang said, "The Prince of Xiangyin possesses the power of the entire nation."

"They have lost the hearts of the people by running away everywhere."

"Emperor Tianxi had no children,"

"We can welcome the King of Qin back to be the King of Liang,"

"But the Prince of Xiangyin was refused entry."

"In this way, we can also get Xiao Gan, Yelü Dashi and others to stand on our side."

Upon hearing this, Li Chuwen

My eyes lit up.

The King of Qin was the son of Yelü Yanxi.

She was also born to Consort Yuan, Xiao Fengxian's younger sister.

He was able to become prime minister back then

It was thanks to Xiao Fengxian's constant recommendations to Yelü Yanxi that he was able to succeed.

After Li Chuwen became prime minister

She also always fawned over Xiao Fengxian.

Xiao Fengxian had always plotted to install the Prince of Qin as the Prince of Liang.

Li Chuwen also contributed a great deal to the King of Qin.

In the first month of this year, Yelü Yudu, a member of the Liao royal family and a rebel general, was involved in a re

He led the Jin troops in pursuit of Yelü Yanxi.

Xiao Fengxian then spoke deceitfully,
