Yelü Yanxi has been having a tough time lately.

This hunting emperor had finally decided to personally lead an expedition, but halfway there he heard that the vanguard army at Hubudagang had been defeated and retreated dozens of miles!

Both vanguard commanders have disappeared without a trace!

He was stunned. What the hell? Both of their key generals were gone?

So he had to stop halfway and wait for news from ahead to see what had happened!

He waited and waited, but all he received was bad news.

First, he met Yelü Dezhong.

"Yelü Dezhong? Why aren't you with the vanguard? Why did you come back?!"

Yelü Yanxi thought, "Can you please stop being so outrageous!"

Why are you bringing a few thousand men here and ignoring the 300,000 people on the front lines?

Don't forget, you're still a criminal!

Someone like you, how could you possibly be a high-ranking general under Wuyan Guang? I seriously doubt Wuyan Guang's abilities!

But Yelü Yanxi didn't expect that he would soon hear a second piece of bad news.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Yelü Zhangnu, Yelü Zhangnu, he is plotting a rebellion!"

When Yelü Dezhong heard Yelü Yanxi complaining about him as soon as he arrived, he didn't try to defend himself. Instead, he told Yelü Yanxi directly, "Something big has happened. Are you going to take care of it?"

"what?!"

Yelü Yanxi was so frightened that he dropped his chair!

Despite his fierce rhetoric and threats to personally lead an expedition against the Jurchens, he was actually a coward who was most worried about losing his throne.

He only dared to act so arrogantly this time because there was an absolute disparity in troop strength between the two sides.

"How many people joined him in the rebellion?"

In the face of rebellion, everything else is trivial. Yelü Yanxi's first priority was to find out how many people Yelü Zhangnu had taken with him.

"I do not know."

Yelü Dezhong shook his head.

"You don't know? How could you not know! Weren't you on the front lines with him?"

Yelü Yanxi was very dissatisfied.

"Upon learning of his impending rebellion, I immediately led my troops away from the camp to warn the Emperor. When I left, he had not yet made a move..."

Yelü Dezhong said that it wasn't his fault, he really didn't know!

"Yes, it's very kind of you to have this intention, but the problem is, you know nothing, so what can you remind me of?"

Yelü Yanxi said, "Don't just come in person! At least bring some useful information!"

Yelü Dezhong was speechless when asked the question. No, this is also my fault.

If I really knew everything, wouldn't I be in cahoots with Yelü Zhangnu?

"If that's how Your Majesty sees it, then I really have nothing more to say. I'm exhausted from my journey, so I'll take my leave."

Yelü Dezhong stood up and decisively declared that he was quitting and didn't care what anyone did.

"Alas, alas, my royal brother, my royal brother!"

When Yelü Yanxi saw that Yelü Dezhong was really about to leave, he panicked again and quickly tried to call Yelü Dezhong back.

But he was too proud to admit it, so he shifted the blame to the guards at the tent entrance.

"Are you all blind? Can't you see that the Great King is so tired he's standing up? Aren't you going to bring him a chair?"

Yelü Yanxi described Yelü Dezhong's act of getting up as stretching because he was tired; his shamelessness was truly astounding.

The guards, of course, dared not contradict their emperor, so they could only take the blame, forcing him to smile and move a chair back for Yelü De.

"Your Majesty, please have a seat."

Yelü Dezhong was defeated by Yelü Yanxi's shamelessness, but he still gave Yelü Yanxi face and sat down in the chair.

"My brother, did Yelü Zhangnu rebel because he wanted to become emperor himself?"

Yelü Yanxi changed his approach to obtaining intelligence.

“But Yelü Zhangnu’s bloodline isn’t enough. In our Yelü family, it’s not his turn!”

“If he rebels, the elders will never agree. Without their support, he can't sit in that position!”

Yelü Yanxi seemed to be encouraging himself, stating a reason why Yelü Zhangnu would never be able to successfully rebel in his lifetime.

"He didn't want to be emperor himself."

Yelü Dezhong shook his head, thinking that his older brother was really too brainless.

"No? How could that be? Throughout history, which rebel didn't want to become emperor?"

Yelü Yanxi was even more dumbfounded after hearing this. Was Yelü Zhangnu really the legendary good man who conquered the world and then gave it away to someone else?

"He wants to depose his elder brother and then install another emperor."

Yelü Dezhong said.

"How dare he! Did he collude with my son? Tell me, which one is it?"

Yelü Yanxi's idea was that one of his sons couldn't wait any longer and wanted to seize the throne ahead of schedule!

Yelü Dezhong shook his head again.

"Not my son? Could it be you...?"

Yelü Yanxi looked at Yelü Dezhong with some suspicion. If he wasn't a prince, then he must be the emperor's younger brother!

"Your Majesty, if I were to be enthroned as emperor, I wouldn't be here right now!"

Yelü Dezhong prepared to leave again. He couldn't communicate with Yelü Yanxi anymore. Let this fool do whatever he wants!

"Brother, brother, sit, sit. I didn't mean that."

Yelü Yanxi quickly put on a smiling face.

“Brother, who exactly wants the throne? If, if he is truly more suitable than me, with a formidable enemy at hand, for the sake of our Great Liao, I am not incapable of negotiating peace with him.”

Yelü Yanxi said hypocritically.

"The one he wants to establish is Uncle Chun."

Yelü De glanced at Yelü Yanxi again. "What are you bragging about? You think you can abdicate? I know you too well."

Besides, when it comes to bloodline, Uncle Chun is more qualified than any of us in this generation!

"Chun, Uncle Chun?"

Yelü Yanxi was dumbfounded.

If it were anyone else, he could have cursed them out, but Uncle Yelü Chun Chun… he dared not, and could not!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Yelü Yanxi looked incredulous.

"How could Uncle Chun possibly rebel? He is a high-ranking official of our Great Liao Dynasty and the uncle I respect most!"

"Uncle Chun probably didn't even know he was going to rebel; it was Yelü Zhangnu who wanted him to be emperor."

Yelü Dezhong looked at Yelü Yanxi and said, word by word:

"He said that it was because an incompetent person usurped the throne that the strength of our Great Liao Dynasty declined day by day. Yelü Zhangnu couldn't bear to see the Yelü family's foundation destroyed like this, so he wanted to bring Uncle Chun out of retirement!"

"Your Majesty, who is this incompetent person that Yelü Zhangnu mentioned?"

"How dare you, Yelü Zhangnu, he, he, he actually dares to insult me ​​like that!"

Yelü Yanxi was so angry he jumped up and down!

"My uncle would never agree to that! I trust my uncle!"

"Your Majesty! Everyone knows what the Imperial Uncle's heart is, that's not the point. The point is, it's clear that some people within the Imperial Clan are already dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Has Your Majesty realized your mistake?"

Yelü Dezhong took the opportunity to ask Yelü Yanxi.

"I am wrong? How could I be wrong! I am not wrong!"

Yelü Yanxi shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

He's the emperor, how could an emperor be wrong!

"Your Majesty! Are you truly without fault? Twelve gold tablets..."

"Yelü Dezhong! How dare you!"

Upon hearing about the twelve gold medals, Yelü Yanxi became anxious again!

"I'll say it again! I did not make a mistake! There were no twelve imperial edicts! There was no personal expedition by the emperor!"

"The ones who are wrong are all petty people! They're all petty people!!..."
