Chen Yuan was not afraid of him saying this at all, at least until the task was completed or failed, Pang Xi would not do it to himself.

He glanced at Pang Xi: "After entering the city, let's go to the inn to stay first." You go look for that Shawsuri, remember, and find out where they are standing. It would be great if we could ask about the military movements of the Liao State by the way. ”

Pang Xi nodded: "Got it, when are you going to see Xiao Suli?" Let me tell you, although he has no real power, his sister is the queen of Liao, and she can help us a lot. ”

Chen Yuan said: "I know, you pave the road first, and I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, he turned around and shouted: "Amuda, Xiaowen, you two come here." ”

Amuda and Yang Wenguang came to Chen Yuan: "Shopkeeper, what are your orders?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "Amuda, you go to one inn to another and find out where that Wang Lun lives." They're taking shortcuts, and they're trying to get faster than we do. Xiaowen, tonight you arranged the accommodation of the guys at the inn, everyone has worked hard, remember, four words: eat well, drink well! ”

Yang Wenguang and Amu mostly said that they understood, and Hu Jing's eyes looked at Chen Yuan very longingly.

Chen Yuan found that the woman was really a very strange animal, and she was in charge of everything before she was pushed down. Now it's okay, I asked her not to talk outside, and she really didn't speak, which made Chen Yuan feel a sense of accomplishment.

Stretching out his hand and beckoning, Hu Jing immediately came over to listen to the instructions. Chen Yuan smiled at her: "Promise me not to make trouble!" ”

Hu Jing nodded: "Hmm." ”

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this attitude: "Okay, come with me to the banquet in the evening." ”

Pang Xi on the side was stunned: "Are you really going?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded and did not answer Pang Xi's words. This guy is well-limbed and simple-minded, this trip to do business is all a pretense, the real task is to provoke the competition between the Khitan and the party members, if you don't contact their real power figures, where to start?

Despised Pang Xi in their hearts, and they walked into the city gate.

Due to the special care of Yelu Gollum, plus two Liao soldiers to open the way, after a simple check, the group entered Yanjing.

Yanjing is the capital of Liao, although it is not as prosperous as Bianjing, but from the clothing of the residents and the buildings in the city, you can see some shadows of Bianjing.

This is the true manifestation of the regime of an ethnic minority in the face of the thousand-year-old history of the Han people. On the one hand, they cursed the Song Dynasty and despised the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, they are unconsciously following suit. I hope I can be like the Song Dynasty.

The change that Liao Xingzong is going to do now is actually to bring up from under the table what some Liao people are already doing, and what they really want to do.

However, there are always some people who have a good face, or they will always violate the interests of some people. For example, Na Yelu Renxian, who scolded the Song Dynasty for a lifetime, and now suddenly asked him to admit that he studied the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't save face no matter what.

But he didn't say that he couldn't pull the son, he said that the ancestors couldn't pull the bottom. In this way, there are many people on his side, using the excuse of protecting the face of their ancestors to protect their current interests. Among them, the king of the north and south courts, who was very powerful in the Liao State, Yelu Hujian, and Yelu Hanba, two very powerful old ministers.

In addition to the support of the emperor, Yelu Chongyuan's father and son raised the flag, there were also Yelu Qiuhan, Hou Hao, and a group of newly rising Han officials to cheer for it.

Chen Yuan had no interest in the battle of the Liao State in the slightest, he was only concerned about whether the situation in the Liao State would have an impact on his mission. In other words, can you find the factors that are convenient for you to complete the task from the middle?

Yelune's footsteps had already caused a sensation before he stepped into Yanjing. Because everyone knows that the emperor will immediately make him the crown prince.

Everyone also knows that whether it is Yelu Ni Gulu or Yelu Shubao who comes back this time determines the political trend after the Great Liao Dynasty.

They walked into Yanjing with the grunting footsteps of Yelune, and all they heard in their ears were everyone's speculations about what kind of storm the court would set off because of the return of the ninth prince.

Two soldiers led them a few blocks and stopped in front of a decent inn.

The first one, the name of the inn is called the first one. After Chen Yuan looked up and saw these three words, he immediately said loudly: "Okay! That's a good name! This first three words are better written! ”

The soldier who led the way hurriedly said: "Hehe, Shopkeeper Chen is really eye-catching, I don't know what is good about this name, but the signboard on this inn is inscribed by our emperor himself." ”

Chen Yuan was even more surprised when he heard this, you must know that Chen Shimei is a literary talent, although Chen Yuan does not plan to explore Chen Shimei's literary talent, but the quality of the words can still be seen.

The neatness of the three Chinese characters on the signboard is not lost in freedom, but the square can not be closed to the faint domineering, which is enough to show that the person who writes has some deep attainments in calligraphy.

In Chen Yuan's imagination, the emperor of Liao may be a standard barbarian who doesn't even know Chinese characters, so after hearing that these three words were written by Liao Xingzong, and knowing that Liao Xingzong is committed to reforming the national politics of Liao, he felt for a while that the title of this barbarian emperor seemed to be not applicable to Liao Xingzong.

The inside of the inn is also very exquisite, the lobby is spacious and bright, and the tables and chairs are also very clean. The rooms are divided into four classes. In addition to the upper, middle and lower classes that are common in the Great Song Dynasty, there is also an additional shop, which is specially for those who are lower or poor to live.

Another soldier said to Chen Yuan: "Shopkeeper Chen, rest assured, this is the best inn in Yanjing, it has always been for state guests, if it weren't for the acquaintance of the ninth prince and this boss, he wouldn't be able to book a room today." ”

Chen Yuan smiled, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if this is a place where Liao State entertains state guests, wouldn't it be able to meet Song Qi?

Arrange the guys first, thanks to their hard work along the way, otherwise Chen Yuan would have died in the hands of the horse bandits by now.

Although it was a bunk, Chen Yuan asked for an extra quilt for each person to ensure that the guys would not feel cold at night. I also specially asked the guy to prepare good wine and food, these guys don't have to do anything tonight, just eat and drink well.

Seeing the guys settle down, Chen Yuancai and Hu Jing went with the two soldiers to Yelu Niglu's house, which is now the Great King's Mansion in the North Courtyard.

"By the way, what's your princess's name?" Chen Yuan accosted the two soldiers.

Asking this sentence just wanted to open the soldier's chatterbox, and also to tell Hu Jing that he didn't care about the princess at all, and he didn't even know his name after getting along for so many days. In fact, he already knew that the princess's name was Yelu Ling.

The soldier immediately replied and whispered: "Our princess's name is Yelu Ling, and she is the eldest princess of the emperor. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Oh, the family of the two military masters is in Yanjing City, right?" ”

The conversation box opened, Chen Yuan slowly chatted with them, chatted and chatted, and also talked about the issue of Liao's law change, Chen Yuan knew that the most important point of whether a law change can succeed is to see if you meet the interests of the majority.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty that he knew, it seemed that the Liao State had not changed the law, and it was a failure.

Sure enough, as soon as the two soldiers mentioned changing the law, they immediately felt bitter water in their stomachs: "Oh, what kind of change!" You don't know the shopkeeper, that's not called changing, that's called tossing! ”

Chen Yuanda was interested: "How to call tossing?" Can you talk to me in more detail? ”

There is no need for Chen Yuan to ask, the two soldiers' prison scratches have already reached their mouths, and it is very uncomfortable to hold back if they don't spit it out: "The emperor said that the grassland should be changed into fertile land, and let us learn from the Han people to farm." I just learned. But as soon as this kind of seed was sown, the emperor over there changed his mind again, saying that the grassland around Yanjing was not suitable for farming, so let's go to a distant place to open up the wasteland. ”

As soon as this was finished, another one immediately said: "This is not the end, we went to the border with the Song Dynasty to farm." There are enough people, the ground has opened, the seeds have been planted, and they can be ripe when they look at it, but in the blink of an eye, they are going to fight with the Song Dynasty! The emperor gave another order, saying that the military rations were not enough, and cut our fields again at once. ”

The prison that initiated the reform of Liao Xingzong, they seemed to be endless, this one just shut up, and the other said: "The emperor also said that it is necessary to rectify the taxes and let us all pay less taxes." But the tax is constantly decreasing, and he subtracts one on one side, and two pop up on the other! ”

Chen Yuan smiled, he could now clearly understand the mood of Liao Xingzong. No matter how enlightened and wise Liao Xingzong is, he is also a person. Now his heart must be as contradictory as the court of Da Liao.

It has been said that in front of Yelu Neglu's house, which is the mansion of Yelu Zongyuan, the king of the Northern Court of Liao, today.

Yelune Gollum is quite interesting, although Chen Yuan's identity is just a businessman, but when Yelune Gollum arranged the seat, he put Chen Yuan among his group of friends, and Chen Yuan himself is a sociable person, so he was not embarrassed.

Of course, Hu Jing was not allowed to attend the table, and in the Song Dynasty, few women showed up on occasions where they were generally invited. The weathering of the Liao State was more evacuated than that of the Great Song Dynasty, but ordinary women could not sit on the seats with men.

Although women are not allowed to sit at the table, the topics of conversation during the banquet are indispensable to women, especially when there is too much alcohol.

From their mouths, Chen Yuan heard two pieces of news, the first of which was about the Liao State to take a military move because of the sudden increase in the power of the party members.

This issue is very controversial in Liao, and these young generals of Liao at the wine table are divided into two obvious camps, one camp believes that the party is a newborn calf and has nothing to fear. Now it is time to unite with the party members and kill the Song Dynasty first.

The other group of people has a completely different view, they believe that the Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly, and after the Yang family has been killed and wounded, there are no good generals. And the party members are in full swing, and Li Yuanhao must not be allowed to develop. So now it's time to hit the party first.

Regardless of the faction, there is a striking unanimity on the issue of the second message. These young Liao warriors unanimously agreed that Liao Xingzong asked the princess to marry Li Yuanhao, which was really an insult to them.

Some people even said after drinking too much that this time the party members came to ask for relatives, and Li Yuanhao did not come in person, which is really wise. If Li Yuanhao came, he would definitely not let him get out of Yanjing City alive.

That's all for the useful information. The rest of the words were said by these boys after they drank high, and they shouldn't be true.

After the banquet was dismissed, when Chen Yuan returned to the inn, it was already the middle of the day.
