Chapter 403: The Strange Disease of the Liao Envoy (I)
Yang Huairen knew that he was not a good person, but he was not a cold-blooded person. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info He doesn't like Wei Cai, but an old man with gray hair kneeling in front of you and crying so sadly, it's hard for anyone to say that he can be ruthless.
After this farce, of course Xu Tuiguan knew that the initiator behind the false accusation of Yang Huairen was Wei Cai, and since those little minions had been arrested, this mastermind naturally couldn't let it go.
He ordered two officials to come over and pull Wei Cai from Yang Huairen's thigh, brutally holding him under his backhand, and the other took out a rope to tie him up.
"Wait!"
Yang Huairen said, "Forget it, let him go." ”
He wanted to preach to Wei Cai, but he was only an eighteen-year-old young man, and it didn't seem appropriate to say some life principles to an old man in his sixties, so he simply didn't bother to say anything big, leaving only a sentence of "You can do it yourself", and then ignored him.
Seeing that the parties were no longer being pursued, the officials let Wei Cai go. Wei Cai's pair of old Yan were dim and hazy, a little sluggish, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart, but what he could see was that he had a sense of fatigue, but he had no desire for revenge.
Fan Chunren praised Yang Huairen, "Be forgiving and forgiving, and have a mind." ”
Yang Huairen had no choice but to smile bitterly, no matter how bad Wei Cai was, it was just greed, colluding with the Khitans, it was not a betrayal, for the sake of his age, let him fend for himself.
It was just past noon, and the garden was full of guests, including the old man who complained about the pork in the noodle bowl instead of beef, but they didn't really care much about it, the point was that the red noodle soup was just as delicious and cheap, and they didn't have much dissatisfaction.
Yang Huairen originally wanted to invite the two ministers to the mansion for a few drinks, but Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang were in a hurry to go back to the palace to report the process and reason of the matter to the empress dowager and the official family, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so Yang Huairen respectfully sent the two bigwigs out of the door.
When they were leaving, Yang Huairen certainly didn't forget to say some kind words of compliment to the two bigwigs, and promised to order someone to go to the two mansions to send some tomatoes in the afternoon.
The status of the two ministers is respectful, and they are still very particular about the arrival of lower-level officials, if they send gold, silver and jewelry directly, they will definitely be scolded back by the two, but they can send tomatoes, they have nothing to refuse, and they acquiesced to Yang Huairen with a smile.
As for Yang Huairen, he naturally didn't think it was a bribe, but giving away these tomatoes, which were ordinary in his eyes and extremely precious in the eyes of others, played a role in buying people's hearts.
He is not very familiar with the way of officialdom, but he still understands this basic way, although the matter of being falsely accused, although it is not a big deal, and it has been designed by him to solve it satisfactorily, but in the Empress Dowager and the official family, Yang Huairen does not want what he did to be amplified by them and then relayed.
This incident is indeed a frustration of the prestige of the Khitans, if Fan Lu and the two return to the palace in front of the emperor and the queen and the official family to brag about it, maybe tomorrow they will have to praise Yang Huairen in the main hall again.
Being praised like this sounds good, but it's not a good thing. What is too high-profile, it is easy to attract envy, and the most important thing is to be hated by the Khitans.
Didn't you say that if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, that's the truth. It would be good to keep a low profile, so that the Khitans can restrain a little bit because of this matter and achieve their goals.
Regardless of whether the Liao envoy's request to raise the annual currency is reasonable, under the current circumstances, they will definitely not give up, and the imperial court will not really reject the people's request all at once, a group of ministers are fighting back and forth, and finally have to face a reality that they have to face, people's military strength is strong, and the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is weak, so they can't really turn their faces and turn the table, let's see you on the battlefield, right?
At that time, it will be the Great Song Dynasty that will suffer, as well as the people of the Great Song Dynasty. To be strong, it's not just words, it's not something that happens overnight, someone needs to do it, it takes time to change all that.
Yang Huairen only hopes that through this incident, the officials and many ministers in the court will understand that if they are weak, they will be bullied, and if they are not bullied, they will have to become stronger.
It won't last long to expect a covenant and others to call you brothers, and people won't really look up to you.
So there is still a long way to go, and Yang Huairen also feels that he still has a lot to do.
Leaving Suiyuan and returning to the house, Lian Zigeng was already waiting for him, and Ke Xiaochuan, Xiaoqi and Xuanshen returned to the city with him yesterday.
These people, no matter how tall or short, used to be rough old men, but how long has it been, and they have begun to become Sven in their dress.
In the past, the coarse cloth clothes were tied around the waist casually, who cared about their own image, but now they have a sweetheart, and his grandmother has begun to pay attention to the appearance, Lian Zigeng, a guy with thick arms and legs, actually wears a plain Confucian shirt and gown, and I don't know that I really think he is a scholar.
"I mean, you guys, you don't need to do this, do you? Looking at the outfit you guys are wearing, I thought I was in some kind of poetry meeting, haha. ”
Ke Xiaochuan's face was feverish when he said it, but he still retorted, "Brother Ren is really not afraid to flash his tongue when he says cool words, your old man has married two little ladies who are like flowers and jade, we are still single, and then like before, people dislike us." ”
"Okay, you Ke Xiaochuan, I'm not afraid that your two sisters-in-law will hear this, be careful to convey this to the monk sister!"
Ke Xiaochuan immediately snorted, covered his mouth and pretended that he hadn't said anything just now.
The brothers joked with each other, and after laughing, Lian Zigeng said something serious.
"Master Hou, when we inquired about the Liao envoy Yelu Didi, we found a strange thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with the new envoy of the Liao State this time."
"Oh, strange things? Let's hear it. ”
"The identity of the Liao envoy Yelu Didi in the Liao State is very noble, and he is still the cousin of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, and he was named the king of Shanyang County.
He came to the Great Song Dynasty as an envoy of Liao this time, and served as an envoy in this noble royal capacity, which was something that had never been done before, and if you look at it normally, it may be that he is using his noble identity to show that he now attaches great importance to the matter of asking us to increase the New Year's coin, but in addition, there is another reason.
According to the reliable information found by the brothers, Yeludidi had a strange disease that no one could cure in the Liao Kingdom, so he came to our Great Song Dynasty to cure him by looking for a more intelligent Langzhong in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
