Back in the embassy, Fan Yu went back to his room.

It didn't take long for Duan Shaolian to come to Fan Yu regardless of his previous suspicions.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Fan Yu: "An Lehou, today's events are a little strange. You and I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the imperial brother came to visit. Is there something we don't know about? ”

Fan Yu thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Duan Zheng envoy don't think about it, you and I are just envoys." Even if I'm a nobleman, what can I do? Is there anything worth thinking about in the Liao Kingdom? The only thing to worry about is that they are forcing you and me to let go. If you and I make a promise to the Liao State in private, it will make my Great Song Dynasty extremely passive, and that is the way to die. ”

Saying this, he is warning Duan Shaolian not to have a mentality of being negotiable and muddy. If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by the other party, and you will regret it at that time.

Duan Shaolian has read a lot, but he is by no means a person who can do anything. usually quotes scriptures and talks eloquently, but when something happens, there is less calmness, and I can't see through the cause and effect of things. In later generations, he is an expert who grew up in an ivory tower.

"An Lehou said lightly, if the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State blindly force each other, what can we do." Duan Shaolian was actually panicked.

Today, Xiao Hui was not polite to the two of them, which made him feel the danger and was very unsteady in his heart. It is precisely because of this that I will find fifteen-year-old Fan Yu to say these words.

"As Duan Zhengenvoy said, this is indeed a problem." Fan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If we are so passive, it is not a matter for them to rub and rub. Since this is the case, we will go to the Liao Imperial Palace in a while, ask to see His Majesty the Liao Emperor, and tell Xiao Hui about it. If we don't give you and me an explanation, we won't come back. Instead of waiting for the opponent to make a move, it is better for you and me to strike a backhand, which is the worst and can also make the opponent appear passive. ”

When Duan Shaolian heard this, he still had to go to the palace, which made his heart even more bottomless.

"If we are with Emperor Liao, we won't be able to please us?" Duan Shaolian said worriedly.

Fan Yu said with a smile: "If you can't please it, you can't please it, how can anyone be respected and liked anywhere." If you are in Liao, you must be prepared. If Duan Zhengzhi has already rested, let's go now, okay? ”

I had the heart not to go, but I was a righteous envoy, so Duan Shaolian could only nod and agree.

Fan Yu asked Wang Zhongping to take someone to prepare the car, and the two took the carriage and went to the palace of Liaoguo.

Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen had already received a report from Prime Minister Xiao Hui and knew that he was forcing the Song envoy to agree to Liao's conditions, but the Song envoy did not agree.

Regarding this matter, although Yelu Zongzhen hoped for success, he also knew that the Song State was a big country, and it was not so easy. I didn't take this matter seriously, just a temptation, and I didn't take it to heart.

But who knows, the two Song envoys actually came to ask for a meeting, which was really unexpected by Yelu Zong.

It stands to reason that if an envoy of a country wants to see Emperor Liao, he should make an appointment and come back to meet again. These two Song envoys are good, so they came directly.

Yeluzong really didn't see it, but he also heard the literary name of Anle Hou Fan Yu, a farewell song is very beautiful, and a treasure knife poem is tragic and passionate. What's even more rare is that this An Lehou is only fifteen years old, and he must be the dragon and phoenix among people, if he doesn't see it, there will always be some regrets.

In the Qingfeng Palace, he met with Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian.

Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian entered the Qingfeng Palace, and saw a young man less than twenty years old sitting on the throne in front of them.

Yelu Zongzhen is only eighteen years old this year, and he has been in power for two years, compared to Zhao Zhen, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the difference in age between the two is very small.

"Foreign ministers Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian have seen Your Majesty." Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian bowed together.

Yelu Zong smiled, raised his hand slightly, and said, "The two Song envoys have worked hard all the way, so let's be exempt." But the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, I don't know if I want to see you today, but is there anything to prepare in advance. ”

Fan Yu smiled and arched his hand: "The foreign minister came from afar, how can he see His Majesty again at the New Year's Day, wouldn't he be less respectful to His Majesty." When I came to see Your Majesty today, I had a glimpse of Your Majesty's face. Now when I see it, I can confirm that His Majesty is in good health and health, and he has the potential to be a tiger on the dragon plate, which is really an imperial atmosphere. The foreign minister was overjoyed and wished His Majesty a long life. ”

Duan Shaolian couldn't help but disdain in his heart, what turned passive into active, and what came to complain, it was all nonsense. This entry will be a colorful slap of the horse's ass, where there is a complaint meaning.

Yelu Zongzhen listened to Fan Yu's words, so he laughed, waved his hand and said: "An Le Hou Wen Ming moves two pictures, and this eloquence is really good." Since An Lehou has come to the palace, then I will teach you some knowledge of poetry. ”

Since hearing that the two Song envoys came to ask for a meeting, Yelu Zongzhen guessed that these two people had come to complain. Therefore, I also wanted to divert the topic and distract the two of them.

But of course Fan Yu couldn't let the other party get his way, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we are here, in addition to wanting to see Your Majesty, we also want to give some opinions to Xiao Xianggong." ”

"Oh? If An Lehou wants to have any opinions on Xiao Qing, you can talk to me. If it makes sense, it is okay to let Xiao Qing do it. ”

Yelu Zong could only pretend that he didn't know anything, so as not to embarrass himself.

Fan Yu glanced outside the Qingfeng Palace, shook his head and said, "Xiao Xianggong is so ambitious, and he is impatient and rough. What he did was detrimental to the national body of the Great Liao, and also damaged the prestige of the Great Liao, and he did not have the mind and means of a prime minister. Today, the two of you and I should meet with Xiao Xianggong at the Prime Minister's Mansion. But who knows, this Xiao Xianggong disagreed, so he put our two envoys representing the Song State under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, when the two of us come to see Your Majesty, we ask Your Majesty to give us an explanation. ”

Tapping his fingers lightly on the tabletop, Yelu Zong couldn't help but have a headache. Sure enough, this matter cannot be bypassed.

"Is there such a thing?" Yelu Zongzhen changed his face and said, "If Xiao Hui dares to do this, I will definitely not spare him!" However, Xiao Qing is the prime minister of my Daliao after all. It's not that you don't believe the words of the two envoys, but you can't be gullible. I must always let me investigate the matter and understand it, and then give justice to the two Song envoys. ”

Duan Shaolian's face softened, and he wanted to say something.

Fan Yu didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Your Majesty is too benevolent, you must know that Xiao Xianggong's move is too blind." What the two of us represent is not ourselves, but our Great Song Dynasty official family and imperial court. If you just wait slowly, there will be no consequences. But what Xiao Xianggong did was to insult my Great Song Kingdom. Since the Abyss Alliance, nothing like this has happened. If Xiao Xianggong cannot give us a satisfactory answer, I am afraid that the relations between the two countries will be unfavorable. ”

Yelu Zong couldn't help but laugh and said: "An Lehou, if you say so, it is not possible that the Song Kingdom still dares to send troops to my Liao State." ”

"Of course my Great Song will not start a war lightly." Fan Yu Zhengse said: "However, if even a prime minister of the Liao State is so arrogant to my envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, then the two countries will no longer be brothers." In this case, the New Year's coin will also be canceled. If the Liao State is dissatisfied and attacks our Great Song Dynasty, it will be like the Battle of Lanzhou back then, and there may be a chance to completely destroy the unrighteous army. ”

What Fan Yu said was the battle before the covenant of the Yuanyuan Alliance. At that time, the Liao army could not advance or retreat under the city of Lanzhou, and the army of King Qin of the Great Song Dynasty gathered. The time, place and people are all on the side of the Great Song Dynasty. If Song Zhenzong was willing to make up his mind to fight at that time, the Liao State would be very dangerous.

Yelu Zongzhen frowned, how could this An Lehou not know how to be flexible like other envoys of the Song Kingdom, it was not easy to deal with.
