Lu Jianxing, a commander of the Imperial Guard, strode quickly with the eunuch and headed straight for the main hall of the palace.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Lu Jianxing, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, pays his respects to Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty."
Xiao Yanyan glanced at Lu Jianxing: "The Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty? I've never heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard before."
"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is an institution that Jiang Zemin just established. It has been less than a year since its establishment."
"Lord Jiang, which Lord Jiang? Jiang Tian?" Empress Dowager Xiao was furious at the mere thought of Jiang Tian's name.
"It is indeed Lord Jiang Tian."
"Our Liao and Xianbei cavalry have organized an army of over 200,000, ready to storm the Great Wall at Changxiong Pass at any time."
For Xiao Yanyan to say such things in this setting shows that she doesn't take Lu Jianxing seriously at all.
"Is the Empress Dowager preparing to wage war against our Great Xia Dynasty?"
"I heard that Jiang Tian has led the main force to attack Japan. Your country is vulnerable, and the number of refugees and rebels is springing up like mushrooms after rain."
"If I don't attack you now, why should I keep you alive?"
Empress Dowager Xiao asked a question in return.
Lu Jianxing immediately laughed: "The Empress Dowager is taking advantage of our lord's war of annihilation against Japan. Isn't that too despicable?"
"Don't you Great Xia people have an old saying that war is never all about deception?"
"If we don't destroy you now, when will we?"
“If the Empress Dowager believes you have the ability in this area, then you are welcome to give it a try,” Lu Jianxing said angrily.
"I think the Empress Dowager should still remember that our family member did not use the imperial army, but destroyed your Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou all by himself."
"Arrogant!" the eunuch beside him roared.
"Empress Dowager," Lu Jianxing said without even glancing at the eunuch, because he felt that a mere eunuch was not worth his attention, "I have come here on the orders of my lord, Lord Jiang."
"Lord Jiang said that he will personally visit the Liao Kingdom in a month. Our lord hopes that you will do your best to be good hosts and do a good job in receiving him."
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
Jiang Tian is knowingly heading into danger.
"Jiang Tian is back?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Our lord is still continuing the war of annihilation in Japan, but he is confident in his ability to achieve this goal," Lu Jianxing said coldly.
"Your Lord Jiang is quite arrogant," said the North Court King, his face full of anger.
“My lord is arrogant, and he has the right to be arrogant. When I came here, I set off from Japan.” Lu Jianxing continued, “At that time, the million-strong army of the Great Lord of the Desolate Lands of Japan had already been wiped out by our Lord Jiang.”
The new Emperor's million-strong army south of Susanoo is fighting desperately against our lord.
However, we adults have enough strength to wipe them out within half a month?
Our superiors said that after we wipe them out, we'll come and take a look at your Laos.
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
A million-strong army was wiped out in an instant.
How much strength does it have?
"How many people have you dispatched?" asked Yelü Chucai, the Grand Prince of the Northern Privy Council.
"In a war to destroy a nation, of course the more people you send, the better."
Lu Jianxing did not continue speaking, but instead cupped his hands to Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao: "I have conveyed the lord's intentions. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Empress Dowager Xiao quickly stood up: "How many people do you Jiang people plan to bring to visit our country?"
"An overseas visit is not a war. Apart from a few personal guards and a few personal maids, there should be no one else with you."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand and said, "Guards, take the Embroidered Uniform Guard envoy away to rest."
"promise……"
Several eunuchs quickly stepped forward and led Lu Jianxing down the mountain.
As soon as Lu Jianxing went down to the main hall of the palace, the Liao Dynasty's civil and military officials were thrown into chaos.
"The Xianbei cavalry want to cooperate with us, but Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness, they are courting their own destruction."
"Thinking that Jiang Tian actually launched a war of annihilation against Japan, our Liao Kingdom has also dealt with Japan. Although the people in the Eastern Camp are short in stature, they are brave and fierce, and there are many of them."
"I heard that Japan has a population of tens of millions."
"Your Majesty, please forgive my bluntness, but the population of Japan far exceeds that of our Liao Kingdom. If they have all been destroyed, we should behave ourselves and not oppose Jiang Tian," said Yelü Xian, the Southern King, quickly bowing.
Upon hearing Yelü Xian's words, Yelü Chucai immediately pointed at his nose and cursed, "Yelü Xian, I've long heard that your daughter has an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Tian. At this time, instead of standing on the side of our Liao Kingdom, you're standing on the side of an outsider."
Yelü Guangliang: "Yelü Xian, as the Southern King of Liao, you only utter words that boost the morale of others and diminish our own prestige. What is your punishment?"
Xiao Shan: "Yelü Xian, just for what you said today, it wouldn't be too much to drag you out and behead you."
I think you'd better hand over the throne of the Southern King as soon as possible, lest the Empress Dowager be angered and have your entire family executed along with your nine generations of relatives.
The entire court, both civil and military, went into overdrive.
They unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on Yelü Xian, the Southern King.
Yelü Xian suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Everyone, did I say something wrong?"
"When Jiang Tian went to the Xiongnu, he wiped out Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou's army of 100,000..."
He burned down the capital of the Xiongnu.
He also burned down the sacred site where the Xiongnu worshipped Heaven.
The Xiongnu Chanyu, leading 70,000 cavalry, was utterly subservient, treated like a dog by Jiang Tian.
"Gentlemen, put your hands on your chests. Is our Liao Kingdom more capable than the Xiongnu?"
No one at the scene listened to what the Southern King Yelü Xian had to say.
In their view, Yelü Xian's words were meant to bewitch people.
"Guards! Take the Southern Prince Yelü Xian away and imprison him for execution in the autumn. Yelü Chucai, the Northern Privy Council Prince, lead your men to confiscate his property."
All of his family's property was confiscated.
Throw his entire family into prison and wait until autumn to execute them all.
"promise……"
Yelü Xian never expected that he would be treated this way simply for speaking the truth.
"Empress Dowager, what have I, Yelü Xian, done that you would want to execute my entire family?"
"If you can't even listen to a single piece of honest advice, our Liao Kingdom will be destroyed by you, woman, sooner or later."
"What are you all standing there for? Get him out of here right now! I, the Empress Dowager, never want to see this arrogant and shameless person again."
Several palace guards rushed over and dragged Yelü Xian away.
Yelü Xian wanted to curse again, but someone stuffed several pieces of rag into his mouth.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, you have all heard about the Xiongnu."
"If Jiang Tian doesn't die, our Great Liao Kingdom will remain his dog."
