After talking about the envoy of Dihu, Xiao Ji brought the topic back to Rong Shi again: "I have privately discussed with several confidant ministers, and their idea is to allow Rong Shi to declare independence as the queen mother of the Dihu Khanate. He Liantuo became the new Khan, so as to divide the Dihu people and divide the Dihu Khanate into two. We, Daning, will support Helian Tuo to fight against He Liantao, and let the Dihu people fall into a long-term civil war. In this way, we in Daning can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"I think this plan is feasible, but after all, you sent someone from the Rong family to infiltrate Mobei, and they came out after going through untold hardships, so I think it is necessary to ask your opinion on this matter."

Having said that, in Xiao Ji's view, everything is just a formality. After all, using Heliantuo to split or even control Dihu is a plan that their father and son have conspired for a long time. They are all under control, the time is ripe, and it is time for them to implement the strategy of splitting the Dihu Khanate.

However, to Xiao Ji's surprise, Xiao Jie shook his head without any hesitation and said, "Father, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this plan is definitely not feasible!"

Xiao Ji was a little surprised, but his expression remained unchanged, and he just asked calmly, "Tell me your opinion."

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Father, the living environment in Mobei is completely different from that of the Central Plains, and there is also a big gap between their Dihu people and our Central Plains Han people. Worshiping the strong has weak moral values. For them, although Heliantao's killing his father and seizing the throne is a treasonous act, it is not an unforgivable thing. What they value is that Heliantao, the new khan, can If Heliantao has given them more benefits than Helianluo, they will forget about Helianluo's goodness and support Heliantao, the new Khan, in favor of the Dihu people."

"The barbarians outside the Great Wall don't respect the laws of heaven, how different they are from animals!" Even though he knew that what Xiao Jie said was true, Xiao Ji still felt angry for no reason, and couldn't help cursing in a cold voice.

Although Helian Luo was also his enemy, but as a father, Xiao Ji couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he died at the hands of his own son.

"What my father said is very true, but the nature of the Dihu people is like this." Xiao Jie knew where his father's anger came from, and he didn't refute it. Instead, he continued, "In the eyes of the Dihu people, Han Talent is their greatest enemy. If we, Daning, support Helian Tuo to become the new Khan and Helian Tao, it will make many Dihu people see clearly our Daning's intention to divide Dihu, and will force some The Dihu people who originally opposed He Liantao turned to support and support He Liantao, which is not good for us."

Xiao Ji couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "What you said is not unreasonable...but if that's the case, what's the point of us sending people to rescue Rong's family?"

"My son is naturally determined to send someone to rescue the Rong family back to the Central Plains. It will be of great use." Xiao Jie suddenly betrayed the situation when he said this, then changed the subject and asked with a smile, "My son I dared to ask my father if after my father explicitly rejected the envoys of the Dihu people, they still stayed in the capital and refused to return to the royal court of Mobei to return to their orders."

Xiao Ji felt slightly displeased at his son's sudden betrayal, but he did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he nodded and replied following Xiao Jie's words: "Yes, they have been staying in Honghe for a long time. In the posthouse arranged by the temple, people are sent to write letters to me every day, wanting to talk to me again, but there is no need for me to talk to He Liantao at all."

While speaking, Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Jie with some puzzlement. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Di Hu's envoy's actions. After all, the mission He Liantao entrusted to them had not yet been completed, and they had no face to return to the royal court of Mobei. , can only stay in the capital with a stern face, trying every means to beg to see himself every day.

Xiao Jie smiled lightly, and said: "Father, have you ever thought that all this is just a trick of the Dihu envoy?"

"Blindfolding?" Xiao Ji frowned, looking at his son in confusion.

Xiao Jie nodded, and then continued: "Based on Erchen's understanding of He Liantao, he is a very quick-witted person. Since he sent an envoy to Beijing for peace talks, he must have thought that Emperor Father would not easily agree to his conditions. It is also impossible to pin all hopes of success or failure on the father alone, if the father cannot agree to the conditions of the Dihu people and hand over the three Rongs, the envoy sent by He Liantao must have other plans."

"The important place in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, why, they still want to commit murder under my nose?" Xiao Ji couldn't help but a trace of anger flashed across his face when he heard this, and his tone became colder.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, some unidentified people have appeared around my son's mansion recently. My son guesses that these people must be related to the Dihu envoy. Their purpose is Heliantuo who lives in the son's mansion. After all, as long as Once He Liantuo dies, no one will be able to threaten He Liantao's Khan position, and he will no longer have any worries." Even though there was no one else in the hall, Xiao Jie subconsciously took a step forward and told his father in a low voice. one thing.

"It's simply unreasonable. The Dihu people are so courageous that they dare to act recklessly in the capital." Xiao Ji was completely angry, and said coldly, "I immediately sent someone to the Jinwu Guard to issue an order, asking them to send troops Immediately arrest these Dihu people and put them in prison to see how they continue to commit murder in the capital."

"Father, you must not startle the snake." Xiao Jie hurriedly stopped him, and then continued, "Father, just rest assured, my son has strengthened the security of the Qi Palace, and will never let these Dihu people succeed."

Xiao Ji frowned, still puzzled and said: "These people are always a disaster, why do you keep them?"

"So I want to use these people to kill the Rong family." Xiao Jie smiled mysteriously, and the words were startling, "Father thinks carefully, if these Dihu people want to assassinate Heliantuo, but accidentally kill the Rong family, what will happen now?" How should things end?"

Xiao Ji couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and then his face sank, but Xiao Jie didn't wait for him to ask, he continued to smile and said: "Father, don't worry, my son is not really going to kill Rong, but just wants to use this to arrange Rong's death." In order to let Heliantuo escape from the capital and return to Mobei under the pretext of us protecting his mother, in the name of avenging his father Khan and his mother, he wooed the Dihu tribe who were dissatisfied and opposed Heliantao, and Heliantao The Dihu Khanate has been divided for a long time because of the division of courts against courtesy."

"As soon as Rong's death, Heliantuo's brand of Han people will fade a lot, and many Dihu people will remember that he is also the son of Yida Khan, and it is only natural for him to avenge his father and mother. However, as long as he does not claim himself as a khan, the Dihu people will naturally not hold grudges, and those Heliantao's enemies are also willing to form an alliance with him to fight against Heliantao, and Dihu will only fall into endless civil strife. middle."

Although Xiao Ji was silent on his face, he was secretly moved. After all, compared with Daning, he publicly supported Helian Tuo as the new Khan against He Liantao, and let Helian Tuo fight against He Liantao in the name of revenge for his father and mother. Being an enemy is indeed easier for the Dihu people to accept, but he still has some concerns in his heart: "But Helian Tuo is alone and alone, I'm afraid he may not be Helian Tao's opponent."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Father, although we Daning cannot openly support Helian Tuo, it is not difficult to support him secretly. You only need the cooperation from Youzhou, but on the bright side, Helian Tuo needs He made a gesture of resenting Daning because of Daning's unfavorable guards, and even attacked Youzhou from time to time to make the Dihu people believe that he did not collude with us Daning. Rather be an enemy."

Xiao Ji nodded, as if he agreed with Xiao Jie's plan, but he also heard his son's implication. The most important point is to cooperate well with He Liantuo, and there is only one person in the world who can do this best. That was his biological elder brother Ye Qiu. ,

But Xiao Ji didn't hesitate at all, instead he said with a smile: "Qin Yang, the governor of Youzhou, told me several times that he wanted to resign from the post of governor of Youzhou because of his old illness, but I haven't found a suitable successor. I heard that Ye Qiu has done a good job in the position of Governor of Annan, and he is also a talented person who quelled the turmoil in the Nanyang countries several times in a row. I will appoint him as the governor of Youzhou. As for Gao Yang, let him Let’s go to the position of deputy governor of Jiaozhou and the chief guardian of Annan to practice and practice.”

Although Xiao Ji said it a bit lightly, Xiao Jie knew the weight of it, and he could also appreciate the trust his father had in him.

Xiao Jie felt that his nose was a little sore, but he didn't say much, just nodded heavily: "I thank you, Father."

(I'm sorry, I got stuck last night, and I didn't update until today.)
