After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

"Mother!"

"You absolutely cannot stay in the country any longer. Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie have insisted on your relationship with Zhao Weiyi, and the Emperor has issued an imperial decree ordering your death!"

"We must find another way to survive in order to break the deadlock!!!"

Yelu Jun knelt in front of the wounded Xiao Guanyin and whispered.

"cough cough..."

Since being imprisoned, Xiao Guanyin has been tortured. The once charming beauty is now covered with bruises and seems to be at the end of her life.

"Find another way to survive? How easy is that... The entire Liao Dynasty belongs to your Majesty... cough cough cough..."

"As long as he wants, there will be no way for me to survive..."

Xiao Guanyin was completely confused. She never thought that she would reach this point one day.

Thinking back to the time when she and Yelu Hongji expressed their deep love to each other, they loved each other so much and became the emperor and empress that everyone in the Liao Dynasty envied.

But in the blink of an eye, the unpredictable emperor believed Yelu Yixin's words and framed himself in the false case of adultery.

"Mother...we still have a chance!"

Yelu Sagu, the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, just knelt on the ground and held up her mother's scarred hand.

"Yes, we can flee to Song State and seek their asylum!!!"

Yelu Jun's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. He was filled with anger and hatred towards Yelu Yixin and his gang of treacherous ministers, as well as his own father, Emperor Yelu Hongji.

He couldn't understand why his "wise and brave" father could so easily believe one-sided words, causing his mother to be imprisoned and tortured.

This was something he couldn't forgive. Why had Yelu Hongji become like this?!

"Are you crazy?! How can you seek political asylum in the State of Song?!"

"That group of people, especially Han Jingyuan, are like jackals, tigers and leopards."

"If you cooperate with him, it would be like trying to get the skin of a tiger. You will definitely not end well in the end!!!"

Xiao Guanyin immediately became nervous and held her son's hands tightly.

"But mother... do you really want me to watch you die with my own eyes?!"

"You were wronged. The whole country knows that it was those two bastards Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie who framed you, but your father just can't see it!"

"He no longer possesses the wisdom and bravery of his youth. His only focus now is consolidating his throne."

"Do you know that Yelu Yixin has already made plans in advance? As soon as you die, he will use the excuse of rebellion against his sons and ministers as an excuse to wipe out the entire lineage of your family!"

"I don't want to die, nor do I want you and my sisters to die, and I don't want Zhen'er (Empress Zhenshun Xiao) and Aguo (Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi) to die!"

"Mother!!!"

"Let's escape together. As long as we flee to Song and cooperate with them, we'll be able to return to Liao alive one day!!!"

Yelu Jun's words made Xiao Guanyin tremble. Her face was already pale, and now it looked even more pale and miserable.

"How could this be... How could Your Majesty be so absurd and ignorant... The Liao Dynasty... Khitan... will all be destroyed by Your Majesty's hands!!!"

Xiao Guanyin cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

“Mother——!”

“Mother——!”

"Mrs. Madam—!"

"Mrs. Madam—!"

"..."

The three sisters who were waiting on the side as well as important officials of the Hou Party, Xiao Weixin, Xiao Yanshou, Yelu Shiliu and others shouted loudly and hurriedly tried to support Xiao Guanyin.

"What should I do? My mother is so angry that she fainted."

Xiao Guanyin's second daughter, Princess Zhao Yelu Jiuli, immediately looked at everyone, but her eyes were actually on Crown Prince Yelu Jun.

"We don't have time to waste. We must escape from the Liao Dynasty as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Father and Yelu Yixin find out, we will be dead in the end!!!"

Yelu Jun has been eloquent since childhood, studious and well-educated, smart and intelligent, and his vision is more far-sighted than many people present.

"Your Highness, the border troops are all His Majesty's men. It's not easy for us to go south?!"

"Yes, and now the relationship between Liao and Song is tense. It's even a question whether we can successfully enter Song territory?!"

Deputy Privy Councilor Xiao Weixin and Shunyi Army Jiedushi Xiao Yanshou all asked about specific matters.

"As for the border troops, I have a group of people to support them. This is not a problem. As long as we can rush out before the emperor orders a siege, we will be safe."

"As for the Song State, I have already sent someone to pass on the news and intelligence to them in advance."

Hearing that Yelu Jun had arranged everything, Xiao Weixin and others felt relieved and immediately proposed a plan to escape from the Liao Dynasty.

"Big sister, you and your sisters, as well as Zhen'er and Aguo, should take Mother out of Shangjing City first. Don't take the Zhongjing Road. Go directly west towards Datong Prefecture."

"That's now the border of Song State, and it's also our fastest route out of Liao."

"Yelü Shiliu, Xiao Yanshou, you two will accompany the Empress and protect everyone as they journey south. Deputy Envoy Xiao and I will stay behind to delay Father."

Yelu Jun immediately gave orders and arranged everyone.

"Brother, won't you leave with us?!"

Princess Yelu Tri of Yue State nervously pulled Yelu Jun's sleeve and asked.

"I can't leave now. If the news of my leaving the palace spreads, my father will definitely not let us go."

"I will cooperate with Deputy Envoy Xiao to buy time for you."

"Once you are safely out of the way, I will come and join you."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Yelu Jun reached out and hugged his younger sister Yelu Teli tightly to comfort her.

"Brother..."

Yelu Tri was so frightened that he was trembling all over and clutched Yelu Jun's sleeve tightly.

"You must reach Song safely... Little sister, when you arrive in Song, you must personally visit the Duke of Wei. We met him once before... He will definitely help us."

Yelu Jun whispered in Yelu Teli's ear.

"Well... Don't worry, brother. I will definitely contact that person!"

Looking at this pair of siblings, Xiao Weixin and the others looked at each other and sighed inwardly, what kind of sin had they committed?!

. . . . . .

Just as Yelu Jun and others were plotting to escape from the Liao Dynasty and sneak into the Song Dynasty, the earliest piece of intelligence had arrived in Bianjing City.

After the military reform, the Song Dynasty's intelligence network now covers the entire border of the Song Dynasty, and important information is collected and flowed in every moment.

The most important information this time was the collective movement of the Liao Dynasty's Houdang clan southward to the Song Dynasty to seek political asylum.

The news secretly reached the Privy Council. When it reached Han Ming's hands, he was shocked at first, and then fell into deep thought.

"My Lord, could this be a trick played by the Liao people?"

Fu Yaoyu, who is still wasting his time in the position of Deputy Privy Councilor, is now older and will probably retire in a few years.

As for staying in the Privy Council, it was mainly because Han Ming intended to let this old man take over the post of Privy Councilor, and then use this stepping stone to enter the Secretariat and take over the position of Prime Minister.

After all, this old man has a strong character, is loyal and sincere, and he works seriously and never compromises.

This is a good candidate for the successor to the seven prime ministers.

As for the next position, it is estimated that it will be between the oldest Lu Huishu and Wen Kuanfu. After all, both of them are now in their seventies.

Lu Huishu is just in his early seventies, and Wen Kuanfu is already approaching eighty. They are really too old.

"Not necessarily. In recent years, the Liao Kingdom has been plagued by fierce internal strife, especially Yelu Yixin, who has become a powerful force that is difficult to eliminate."

"He has a bad relationship with Xiao Guanyin and his followers. He must eliminate them in order to continue to control the Liao Dynasty's government."

"I heard that Yelu Yixin fabricated a 'false case of adultery' to nail Xiao Guanyin to the pillar of shame."

"He even planned to exterminate Yelu Jun's entire lineage and dominate the government alone."

"Tsk tsk, what a wonderful show!"

Han Ming chuckled, stood up and walked to the map of the Song-Liao border in the center of the lobby, thinking carefully.

"So, Grand Minister, what you mean is that the words of Yelu Jun and others can be trusted?"

Hearing this, Han Ming smiled and said, "Whether it's credible or not, we'll know once they enter the Song Dynasty and are under guard."

"No matter what methods they use, once they enter the Song Dynasty, we have the final say..."

Han Ming's words made Fu Yaoyu burst out laughing. This Han Shanggong was different from his grandfather and father. He was an extremely scheming person.

The Liao Kingdom's group of grassland foreigners wanted to fight him, but they were still a little naive.
