Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"And so the world of my Great Liao Dynasty changed."

The two reached a consensus.

He then hurried to the palace on horseback.

Empress Dowager Xiao was still grieving her husband's passing.

Hearing that Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi had arrived together,

They hurriedly sent someone to invite them in.

The two explained their purpose.

Empress Dowager Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Emperor Tianxi did indeed have this secret letter."

Xiao Gan did not actually suspect that Li Chuwen had forged the secret letter.

After Emperor Tianxi fell ill

Xiao Shi stayed by his side to take care of him.

It was impossible for Li Chuwen to obtain the secret letter without everyone's knowledge.

Although I know that Li Chuwen's secret letter is genuine

But Xiao Gan was still unwilling to let a Han Chinese ride on his head.

Chapter 1840 Elite Troops of the Liao Kingdom

"Li Chuwen has never led troops,"

"Another Han Chinese,"

"Make him the Grand Marshal of the Han and Barbarian Cavalry and Infantry."

"I fear the tribal soldiers below will not agree,"

"It will cause trouble."

Since the Khitan elite troops marched north from Nanjing and were decimated by the Jin army...

After Xiao Gan's Xi tribe became the most powerful,

Xiao Gan's domineering nature was then exposed.

Without explanation,

They directly threatened with military force.

Seeing Xiao Gan speak like this, Madam Xiao

His expression also darkened.

If it weren't for his and Li Chuwen's aggressive tactics...

Her husband, Yelü Chun, will not die either.

Yelü Chun's body is still warm.

He then tried to force the emperor to resign.

This is truly outrageous.

Fearing a rift between the two, Yelü Dashi quickly said,

"The Great Liang Dynasty unified the Central Plains,"

"Many more elite troops were transferred to Hebei,"

"It's hard to guarantee they won't use force against us."

"If Han Chinese were to command all the troops,"

"Once the Liang army presses in,"

"How can we expect them to fight to the death?"

"Therefore, I urge Your Majesty to rescind your order."

Although the Xiao family were Xi people,

But she was also the Empress Dowager of the Liao Dynasty.

If the Xiao family and Xiao Gan have a falling out

Even members of the imperial clan like Yelü Dashi could only stand on Empress Dowager Xiao's side.

That will be a conflict between the Khitans and the Xi people.

The Liao Dynasty was already in its twilight years.

If the royal family and the empress's family become enemies again...

Then the Liao Dynasty would never have a chance to recover.

This is something Yelü Dashi did not want to see.

Xiao also calmed down.

She wished she could kill all those who had driven her husband to his death.

But she also knew it was impossible.

The best way is to leverage the strength of a portion of them.

First, eliminate some people.

What she hated most was undoubtedly Li Chuwen and Xiao Gan.

Xiao Gan held considerable military power.

She couldn't bring herself to do it.

The only option left is to target Li Chuwen.

Now Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi are dissatisfied with Li Chuwen.

She used this opportunity to her advantage.

Eliminate one person first.

"Emperor Tianxi issued an edict,"

"How can I take it back?"

Yelü Dashi said, "The Empress Dowager is in charge of military and state affairs."

“Of course, everyone can be reappointed.”

"The Empress Dowager only needs to issue an imperial edict,"

"Make Li Chuwen hand over the secret letter,"

"At the same time, we can remove him from his position as Grand Marshal."

Xiao Gan nodded and said, "Da Shi Lin Ya is right."

"As long as the Empress Dowager gives me an imperial edict,"

"I'll take some men to make Li Chuwen hand over the secret letter."

Empress Xiao also knew that her imperial decree could only be implemented with the backing of force.

Otherwise, she would have issued hundreds of imperial edicts.

All the officials who had tried to force the emperor to abdicate were dismissed.

"Since both King Xiao Liang and Da Shi Lin Ya have said so,"

"It can't be wrong,"

"I will issue an imperial edict immediately."

Lady Xiao had an imperial edict drafted.

It was stamped with her seal.

Handed over to Xiao Gan,

"Thank you for your trouble, Prince Xiao Liang."

Xiao Gan accepted the imperial edict, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"I dare not, I will go and retrieve the secret letter immediately."

After saying that, he turned and left the hall.

The Xiao family saw that only a few members of the Khitan royal family remained.

I couldn't hold back any longer.

Pointing to the palace gate,

"Look at this fellow,"

"That's incredibly rude."

Yelü Dashi advised, "Your Majesty, please be patient."

"Now we must defend Nanjing Road,"

"We should rely on him more."

"Wait until the King of Qin arrives with his troops,"

"Then he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

Chapter 1841 Marrying into the Khitan

"Hey!"

Madam Xiao sighed.

"I never imagined that my Great Liao would fall into such a state,"

"Since I have married into the Khitan tribe,"

"Let us defend this last piece of land for your Khitan people."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Dashi and several members of the imperial clan

They couldn't help but bow in reverence.

"If my Great Liao can be revived,"

"It's all thanks to the Empress Dowager."

Xiao shook her head and said,

"I hope the King of Qin will bring his troops soon,"

"Otherwise, even if I, a woman, endure it all,"

"How could they possibly stop the Jin army?"

Yelü Dashi said, "The Jin army is still pursuing the Prince of Xiangyin along the Xijing Road."

"I'm afraid the King of Qin won't be able to come anytime soon."

"I believe it would be better to submit to the Jin dynasty,"

"Please appoint the King of Qin as the ruler of the Great Liao Dynasty."

Xiao frowned and said, "The Jin Kingdom has taken Xijing,"

"At the height of their power, they must be aiming to destroy our Great Liao in one fell swoop,"

How can you negotiate peace with us?

Yelü Dashi said, "Although the Jin state has seized many prefectures and counties from our Liao Dynasty,"

"But people's hearts were not yet settled,"
