He bowed respectfully to both ladies, his gaze involuntarily fixed on the western lady’s face, searching her gentle features for a trace of hazy childhood memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, time flew like a shuttle, past events vanished like smoke—though her tender face stirred a soft corner of his heart, it could not fully merge with the blurred figure in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelu Ao Luwan’s heart was a tangle of emotions: the joy of reuniting with his biological mother, yet also a faint estrangement born of years apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The western lady was indeed Xiao Seshe; her eyes were slightly red, her lips barely forming a gentle smile as she struggled to hold back tears. Her hands rested lightly on her knees, fingertips trembling, betraying the turmoil within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelu Ao Luwan caught this detail, and a warm current surged through him—the ineffable pull of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My son has grown.” Xiao Seshe’s voice trembled slightly, yet brimmed with maternal tenderness and pride. It seemed to transcend time, carrying Yelu Ao Luwan back to a distant but still warm memory—though hazy, it was enough to let him feel the warmth of a mother’s love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother.” Yelu Ao Luwan whispered those two words, his voice heavy with unspoken longing and accumulated emotion. In that moment, all his nervousness and estrangement dissolved—leaving only the pure, sincere bond of blood between him and Xiao Seshe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her son call her “Mother,” Xiao Seshe could no longer hold back her tears; even the eastern lady, Xiao Puxian, sighed softly, her stern expression gradually softening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agony of mother-child separation was unbearable for any pair; seeing this mother and son reunite after hardship, Xiao Puxian—who was also a mother—could not help but be moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been apart for over a decade, Xiao Seshe had countless things to say to Yelu Ao Luwan, but this meeting was not merely a reunion—it was a test: whether to name Yelu Ao Luwan heir to Yelu Yanxi’s throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Xiao Seshe restrained her emotions and asked Yelu Ao Luwan with purpose: “My son, the Liao emperor ordered you to die—why did you obey? Had it not been for the timely rescue by Liu Du Tong and others, you would already be dead. Did you ever consider launching a coup to save yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Xiao Seshe watched Yelu Ao Luwan with both tension and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelu Ao Luwan did not overthink—he answered honestly: “A sovereign commands a minister to die, and the minister who refuses is disloyal; a father commands a son to perish, and the son who refuses is unfilial…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xiao Seshe asked Yelu Ao Luwan many more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They covered everything: Liao politics, military strategy, and his personal character and aspirations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelu Ao Luwan answered calmly and steadily, his voice clear and resolute, as if each word had been carefully weighed. His replies sometimes cited classics, revealing deep learning; at other times, they drew from reality, showing sharp insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Seshe nodded frequently, her pride and satisfaction evident. She knew her son had not only grown into an outstanding youth but had also cultivated remarkable talent and virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiao Puxian observed Yelu Ao Luwan without expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yelu Ao Luwan found Xiao Seshe’s questions odd and harsh, his reverence for filial piety and his high regard for his mother’s reputation led him to answer every one openly and fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xiao Seshe even more pleased with her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had asked all she needed to, Xiao Seshe summoned Yelu Yuliyan and her three sons by Zhao Yu, instructing them to take Yelu Ao Luwan out for a walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yelu Ao Luwan left, several eunuchs drew back the screen behind Xiao Seshe and Xiao Puxian, revealing Zhao Yu and the entire Song court’s chancellor-ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Seshe and Xiao Puxian stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Yu: “Your servants pay homage to Your Majesty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu waved his hand slightly, signaling them to rise, then asked Cai Jing, Su Shi, and the other ministers: “What do you think of this boy? Is he fit to be Liao’s emperor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Jing’s gaze was deep as he replied slowly: “This boy speaks with sincerity; his loyalty and filial piety are plain to see. In matters of state and warfare, his reasoning is clear and his insight exceptional—a rare talent. If we install him as Liao’s emperor, it brings both advantages and risks to Great Song. Advantage: the Liao people will gladly accept him as ruler, swiftly uniting their forces to fight the Jurchens on the steppe, allowing Great Song to reduce its own investment and watch the two beasts battle. Disadvantage: if he truly defeats the Jurchens, his youth and ambition may make him uncontrollable, breeding endless future troubles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Shi added: “The Chancellor speaks truly. This boy is nearly of age; if he becomes Liao’s emperor, he will be the Liao people’s hope, uniting them in a decisive war against the Jurchens—fulfilling our goal of letting the Yubangxiangzheng , and the fisherman reaps the benefit. Moreover, his intellect and talent have already begun to shine; with proper guidance, he could become a solid northern bulwark for Great Song. Yet, as the Chancellor warned, his potential carries risk—if he grows strong, he may no longer wish to remain under Great Song’s protection. Should he one day turn against us or ally with the Jurchens, our northern frontier will be in grave danger. Thus, whether to install him or not requires careful deliberation and meticulous planning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other ministers held similar views: they deemed Yelu Ao Luwan a suitable candidate, yet feared he might one day become too powerful to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was natural—Yelu Ao Luwan was now fifteen, approaching the ideal age for an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The best age for an emperor to ascend the throne is seventeen: too young, and the realm risks instability under a child ruler and powerful ministers; too old, and he may die after only a few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearest example is Zhao Yu himself—he ascended at seventeen and revived the Song dynasty, which had nearly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yelu Ao Luwan was about to reach that ideal age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Song court’s ministers’ concerns were not mere suspicion—they were responsibility toward Great Song and toward Zhao Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-06-20T15:06:50.687Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2d5a4c2e964f5b69e3e876439d2660794628b4265f1792dc72c1d85ddf86a93b","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-303","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-301",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-cover.jpg"]
