Liu Liufu's face was flushed, of course he knew why.

The Liao people love the poetry of the Central Plains very much, and every time there is a good poem or a good word, there will be a fast horse starting from Bianliang, and it can be sent to the Liao country in a few days and nights.

Today's Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen is also a good poet, mainly influenced by his teacher Lang Sixiao, who highly respects Han poetry.

If something is good, the next will follow.

Therefore, the poetry of the Central Plains is also extremely popular in the Liao State. Especially in this land of Yanyun, most of the Han people settled, and there is no resistance to poetry.

The farewell song sung by Fan Yu at the farewell banquet in Bianliang must have been sent to Nanjing, Liao State first.

When the government and the opposition of the Liao State learned that the deputy envoy who came to envoy the Liao State was An Le Hou Fan Yu, the author of the farewell song, many people spontaneously came to greet them.

Fan Yu was stunned at this time, this Liao countryman, do you want to send yourself away? How should I respond, say goodbye, or sayayoura, or Annikese?

Just when the Song envoy team was in a dilemma, in the crowd on the other side of the Sanggan River, two people came out and greeted them from the bridge.

The two were old and young, the old one was wearing civilian clothes, but the young man was wearing a scarlet robe.

The two crossed the bridge and looked towards the Song envoy's team.

"Which one is the literary and elegant An Lehou?" The old man asked in a loud voice.

When Liu Liufu saw the old man, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the old man and said, "How come Master Lang is also here, you are a valuable teacher of Your Majesty, how can you easily come out to greet him." If His Majesty knew about it, I am afraid that he would blame it. ”

"How can my Lang Sixiao be precious?" The old man waved his hand and said, "It's just that I have been a teacher for Your Majesty for a few days, how can I be proud of my achievements." There is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher. Song Guo'an Lehou can make a farewell song, and he can be my teacher of a song. Where are the others, quickly introduce them to me. ”

Liu Liufu was helpless, he couldn't afford to provoke this Lang Sixiao, so he had to turn to Fan Yu and said: "An Lehou, this family is my Great Liao Emperor Master, Shamen Lang Sixiao Lang Master." ”

Fan Yu really didn't expect that the one who came to greet him was actually the teacher of Emperor Liao, and this face was too big.

He took a few steps forward and came to the front of Lang Sixiao, smiled and arched his hand: "I don't know that an elder like Master Lang is coming to greet him, it really torments me." ”

"Little friend, you don't have to be polite to me. When I came to see you today, I put aside my identity as an emperor, and you can also put aside your identity as an Anlehou of Song Kingdom. Lang Sixiao said very happily: "We will meet friends with texts, not anything else." ”

The younger Liao State official next to him arched his hand at Fan Yu at this time and said, "An Lehou, I am Wang Yingxiu, a scholar of Hanlin, and I am here to greet you." Please come with me to the embassy to hand over and then go to the reception banquet. ”

Fan Yu nodded, and said to Lang Sixiao: "Master Lang welcomes you personally, Fan Yu is full of hospitality." After finishing official business with this Wang Hanlin first, and then talking to Master Lang. ”

"That's as it should be." Lang Sixiao nodded in response, "Brother Fan can go and get busy first, and then I will ask you for poetry when I am old." ”

Lang Sixiao beckoned to Fan Yu and returned to the other side of the bridge, where he was immediately surrounded by several scribe-looking people. Looking at their excited looks, it was obvious that they were asking Lang Sixiao what Fan Yu had said, which was almost the same as the star chasers in later generations.

Fan Yu looked over from this side of the bridge and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Looking at the other party's posture, they also have to talk about poetry at the reception banquet. There are not many poems that I can memorize, and if I expose my feet, I am afraid that these scribes will also tear themselves apart.

However, Duan Shaolian, the main envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, was extremely disappointed at this time. From beginning to end, the Liao side did not ask who the main envoy was, and who the deputy envoy was. When people came up, they looked for An Le Hou Fan Yu, who had made a farewell song, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Even Wang Yingxiu, who was officially sent by the Liao State to do the handover, directly discussed with Fan Yu. even looked at Fan Yu with that kind of adoring gaze, where and where he had thought about who the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty was, and where he was.

Duan Shaolian's heart was extremely unbalanced at this time, he was going to Liao State this time, although he was a positive envoy, he had no sense of existence at all. Even as early as halfway through, he was already overturned by Fan Yu, and no one listened to him.

It's just that he doesn't reflect on himself, if he didn't deliberately make things difficult for Fan Yu, how could he become in such an embarrassing situation.

Fan Yu ordered Wang Zhongping, who was escorting the New Year's coin, to hand over to Wang Yingxiu of the Liao State, but he took Cao Fu to the Song Embassy in Nanjing City, the Liao State.

At this time, the Liao and Song dynasties were also very prosperous because of their frequent exchanges, so they built embassies in each other's territories. The function of this embassy is almost the same as that of later embassies, and the two are channels for collecting each other's customs and customs and transmitting information to the country.

The only difference is that there is no permanent ambassador in the embassy. In normal times, only a few post officials and scribes are left to take care of it, and when there is something to do, envoys will be appointed.

The Song Embassy is located in Ganquanfang, not far from the palace city of Nanjing, and the area is not large.

This is not that the Liao State despised the Great Song Dynasty, but that the scale of the Nanjing City of the Liao State cannot be compared with Bianliang at all, which is much smaller.

As far as what Fan Yu saw in Nanjing City, the prosperity was far less than that of Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

The handover was very smooth, and Wang Zhongping also took back the receipt and reported to Fan Yuyu that there was no wave.

Fan Yu had just finished listening to Wang Zhongping's report, and Wang Yingxiu, the Hanlin of the Liao Kingdom, came to ask for a meeting.

Let people into the main hall of the Song Embassy, Fan Yu asked Wang Xiaoding to make tea.

Wang Yingxiu didn't have the intention of drinking tea, but hugged his fist at Fan Yu and said, "An Lehou still needs to rest for a while?" Master Lang and the others have also gone to the guest house first, just waiting for the Hou Ye to move his toes. ”

"Wang Hanlin, although I have experienced a lot of fatigue today, I am already a little tired. But with so many good poets and lovers of poetry, how can I refuse. Fan Yu shook his head and sighed: "I'm just an occasional song, my envoy Duan Shaolian of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is also from Hanlin, and his literary talent is also unusual." ”

"Oh? Since this is the case, then please ask this Duan Zheng envoy to go with him. Wang Yingxiu said disapprerovingly.

Fan Yu asked people to invite Duan Shaolian, and with him, he could deal with some literati and scholars of the Liao State less.

Duan Shaolian heard that Fan Yu invited him to the banquet, so he balanced his heart a little. After all, he is the main envoy, and with the position of An Lehou's deputy envoy, he is obviously still a little worse.

When Cao Fu heard that Fan Yu was going to the banquet, he couldn't sit still and wanted to go with him.

Fan Yu asked Cao Fu to come with Di Qing and Yang Wenguang as his guards.

Jingke Building is the largest restaurant in Nanjing, Liao. On the third floor of the Ke Building, it has now been wrapped.

In addition to Lang Sixiao, there were several people who were already sitting upstairs waiting. Beside Lang Sixiao, there was also a young man in a brocade robe who was only twelve or thirteen years old, which was about the same age as Cao Fu.

Fan Yu, Duan Shaolian and the others went up to the third floor and saw the situation in front of them.

"Brother Fan is here today, and you and I are both treated as cloth clothes. Don't talk about national affairs, just compose poems, how about it? Lang Sixiao is not young, but this is naïve.

It's just that as an emperor, he said what he said, and no one dared to disobey him.

Fan Yu smiled at him and arched his hand: "Master Lang has this intention, Fan Yu dares to disobey his fate." ”

By the way, Duan Shaolian was introduced to Lang Sixiao, which made Lang Sixiao's old face even more ruddy. The characters of the Great Song Dynasty are romantic, and there are many people who can write poetry and words. If there is one more person to compose poetry, the more lively the better.

"These are Xiao Dapu, Xiao Lu Shilang, Zhang Suyu, Wang Yingxiu, and this is my student, Yelu Chongyuan." Lang Sixiao introduced the past one by one.

Fan Yu didn't remember the few people in front of him, but the four words of Yelu Chongyuan were in his ears, which startled him. This brocade-clothed boy is the true brother of Emperor Yelu Zongzhen of Liao, Yelu Chongyuan. Now, he has just been named the emperor's younger brother.
