Duan Shaolian couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw that Fan Yu and Yelu Sect were talking about the truth.

The main envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is himself, but this An Lehou is out of the limelight, which makes him very uncomfortable.

But what if you are uncomfortable, your calculations are not as good as Fan Yu, and your poetry is not as good as Fan Yu, except for being honest and obedient, there is nothing to do. He wanted to make waves, but wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford it. One bad is the danger of being crushed.

"What is a good story, as long as Your Majesty is satisfied, it is the foreign minister who has done his best." Fan Yu said politely.

"Iron Horse Binghe fell into a dream, this sentence is the most expressive and moving." The more Yelu Zong really reads it, the more immersive he feels, "The army is vertical and horizontal, and they are all said with one word with their fierce and majestic posture!" An Lehou, you can tell me, I have such an army, wouldn't it be invincible and invincible. ”

Fan Yu's heart sank, although this Liao Emperor was young, he also had ambitions.

"What Your Majesty said is good, with such an army, it will definitely be able to conquer everything and be invincible." Fan Yu didn't refute but agreed, but after a change of words, he said: "But the foreign minister also knows that the end of the strong crossbow cannot be worn by Lu Mian." The army is strong, but it is only strong for a while. If there is no food and grass, they will eventually flee overnight. Raising troops to conquer the Quartet will make the people's livelihood in the country tired. Everything in heaven and earth has its own reason. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The same is true of His Majesty's governance of the country, if the loss of civil and military strength is too much, it will shorten the national ancestry. ”

Fan Yu even used the Nine Yin True Scripture, trying his best to tell the disadvantages of war and avoid the other party's possible threat of force against the Great Song Dynasty.

Listening to Fan Yu's words, Duan Shaolian was shocked. His Majesty the Liao Emperor just showed off his military strength with you, are you just cursing the Liao Kingdom for a short life, don't you want to die?

"An Lehou said this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, which founding monarch is not going to fight in the east and west, otherwise how to build a country." Yelu Zong was really very unhappy.

Fan Yu smiled before he said, "Your Majesty, the so-called loyalty is against the ear, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins." All the founding of the country is because of the chaos in the world, the suffering of all the people, the lack of food, the stomach and the clothing do not cover the body, and the life in the troubled times is not even as good as the dog of peace. As a result, there is the so-called founding king, who can take advantage of the opportunity. If the world is peaceful and all the people are full of food and drink, and Your Majesty leads them to fight and kill, do they hate Your Majesty for taking them to fight and die, or do they happily go to attack the Quartet. ”

Yelu Zong was really silent for a long time, and Fan Yu's words made him feel a little shaken in his heart, and even doubted whether he should not use force at will.

"If a foreign enemy comes to attack, can't I raise troops to counterattack?" Yelu Zong really wants to get some face back for himself.

"Defending the family and the country, this is naturally no problem." Fan Yu nodded and said: "If the people's fields and pastures are invaded by foreign enemies, they will definitely fight with one heart and death. Therefore, if you defend the land and protect the home, the military and the people can use it. If you attack the Quartet, the people will not give up their wealth and soldiers, and they will not give up life and death. ”

Hearing this, Yelu Zongzhen looked at Fan Yu as if a layer of aura appeared on his body. Although this An Lehou is not very old, his words are philosophical and thought-provoking. Regardless of whether Yelu Zongzhen wants to use force externally in the future, he has great respect for Fan Yu.

"What An Lehou said is reasonable, which makes people deafening." Yelu Zongzhen said with a solemn face: "With the great talent of Anle Hou, he is just an idle prince in the Song Kingdom. If you are willing to live in my Daliao forever, I will immediately crown you as the prince of the country. ”

This is to extend an olive branch to recruit Fan Yu.

Duan Shaolian's eyes widened, and he almost pulled off his beard, but he still didn't dare to speak. If An Lehou agrees and asks Emperor Liao to kill his only witness, what can he do? Although he didn't have a chance to speak, his heart went up and down, and he was not idle at all.

"The foreign minister is a member of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he carry the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has never been responsible for me, and foreign ministers are not allowed to defect to His Majesty. Of course, Fan Yu would not agree to the other party, so he had to explain: "If you were born in the Song Kingdom, you are a person from the Song Kingdom." How can you be unaware of it for a while, so you throw yourself into the outside. If the Liao State ordered me to plot to attack the Song Dynasty, wouldn't the foreign ministers become disloyal, unrighteous, unkind, unfilial and forget their ancestors? Your Majesty, if you use a despicable person like me, you can still use it with confidence. ”

In order to clarify the problem, Fan Yu had to hack himself.

When Yelu Zongzhen heard this, he laughed and arched his hand at Fan Yu: "It's me who underestimated An Lehou, I understand." ”

Duan Shaolian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can take a fancy to An Lehou, because he is attracted to each other and loves talents. However, An Lehou was in the Great Song Dynasty, and politely refused. This is the same as watching the painting and writing the poem just now, and it is going to become a good story. ”

The two of them had some gossip with Yelu Zongzhen again, and then they left the Qingfeng Palace.

It will be the New Year's Day in two days, and Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian have more things to do.

And there are many officials of the Liao State who will also visit the embassy of the Song State. Mainly after learning about Fan Yu's achievements, he came here.

On the day of the Zhengdan ceremony, Fan Yu and Duan Shaolian were dressed neatly and left the Song Embassy together under the escort of the guards.

The two got into the carriage and went straight to the Liao Imperial Palace.

When I arrived outside the palace gate, there were already envoys from several countries waiting.

As soon as they got out of the car, the envoys of the other nations approached. Fan Yu and the others didn't care about it for the time being, but took the gifts and other things they brought from the carriage and handed them over to the Liao State Rite Officials.

A man with shaved hair, draped in a robe obliquely, arched his hand to Duan Shaolian and Fan Yu: "The two are the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, I am the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, Yeli Renrong." The first time we met, the little envoy was polite here. ”

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was still the nominal suzerain of the Xia Kingdom, and Li Yuanhao did not claim the title of emperor. Although there were wars between Song and Xia from time to time, the overall situation was not bad.

Duan Shaolian hurriedly returned the salute, "I am the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Duan Bulian." Brother Yeli, please take care of each other. ”

Fan Yu also arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yeli, fortunately." ”

The other envoys from the Uighurs, Goryeo, Khotan, and Qarakhanid also came together and introduced each other.

As soon as they had said a few words to each other, they saw the palace door wide open.

A Liao official hurriedly came to the envoys and beckoned, "Envoys, you can enter the palace now." But you have to keep your place and enter in turn, and don't scatter. Otherwise, it will be rude, and I am afraid that I will be condemned by Xiao Xianggong. ”

Fan Yu pushed Duan Shaolian and asked him to stand up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Duan Zhengzhi has already stood up, please line up together, and enter the palace according to what the official said." Fan Yu followed behind Duan Shaolian and turned back to the envoys.

Yeli Renrong smiled faintly, and was about to stand behind Fan Yu, but he didn't want a figure to be faster than him, but it was the Goryeo envoy Lee Jae-seok.

At this moment, the smile on Zino Renrong's face seemed to freeze.

Da Song is strong, and he will have no opinion on being in the first place. But what is this Goryeo envoy, he dares to be ahead of him.

"Brother Li, you are on the wrong side." Yeli Renrong couldn't help frowning.

"Hehe, how could I be wrong, it must be Brother Yeli who is wrong." Lee Jae-seok just dealt with it casually.

Yeli Renrong didn't want to make trouble, so he stood silently behind Lee Jae-seok. Behind him were the envoys of the Qarakhanid, Khotan, and Uighur.

The envoys lined up, and the guards they brought followed behind the envoys, and the flags of their countries were also unfurled.

When you are ready, it is time for the New Year's Day ceremony to begin.
