Chapter 606: Re-entering the Liao Kingdom
readx;
Huyan Ruizhu didn't say anything more, she knew that after following Chen Yuan, she had to give up the kind of happy and resentful life, and take her husband as the key link like an ordinary woman. Although www.biquge.info was full of sympathy for the fate of those Dongying women, he didn't mention it again along the way.
The fleet sailed downwind and arrived in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in less than half a month. Chen Yuan's looted goods this time filled this thousand-ton "raider" to the brim. When it docked at the Bianjing wharf, it really caused a huge sensation.
Whether it was the big ship or the goods on board, the people of Bianjing were amazed, and Han Qi's cargo bank had already received the news that hundreds of carriages were parked on the edge of the dock, waiting to get off the ship.
This time he can be regarded as a triumphant return, in Chen Yuan's heart, the moment when he cut off the head of the emperor of Dongying, he still has a sense of accomplishment compared to when he leveled Li Yuanhao in the party. But no one applauded his actions this time, including Ouyang Xiu, who had always had a good relationship with Chen Yuan, and did not come to pick him up.
They didn't know that they had already killed Emperor Suzaku, and if they knew about it, they would be the scum in the eyes of the scholars.
It doesn't matter, Chen Yuan doesn't care, as long as he can destroy Xiao Yueben, what's the harm in being a scum? Besides, those scholars and doctors had no other means than verbal and written criticism, and if Renzong did not move himself, it would be useless for them to itch the roots of their hateful teeth.
And now that they are in control of the bank, the development of many places depends on the bank to provide them with financial support, as well as the implementation of the new policy, all of which are useful in their own places, as long as they are a little low-key, the impact of this matter is eased, and then help them do something to let them extinguish the fire, should not let their image that has been in business for many years completely collapse.
So he didn't plan to stay in Bianjing at all when he came back this time, and now these scholars have their guns very upright, waiting to shoot at themselves, and staying here must be a target for them.
After getting off the "Marauder", Chen Yuan didn't go anywhere, and went directly to the palace to ask Renzong to see him, and ask Renzong for permission to go to Liao to explore the situation, to see how far the current situation in Liao has developed, and if there is anything that can be done. At the same time, he sent Yan Ruizhu back to the Horse Mansion to inform Yelu Lingling to get ready, and if Renzong nodded, he would leave immediately.
Renzong seemed to know Chen Yuan's thoughts, and when Chen Yuan asked to see him outside the palace gate, Renzong was taking a lunch break, and he immediately got up from the bed and met him in the study.
Chen Yuan first told what happened in Dongying, especially the last time he cut down Emperor Dongying, the detailed process and his thoughts at the time could not be explained in the song.
When Renzong saw that the Dongying people wanted to attack the Song army, he knew that there must be Chen Yuan's hands and feet in the middle, and he was also very curious about this, and the inquiry was quite detailed.
After Chen Yuan repeated what had happened again, once again explaining how much benefit it would have for the Great Song Dynasty to immediately pacify Dongying, Renzong did not say anything for the Emperor Dongying, who had never come to the Song Dynasty to worship.
"What you have done is a bit too much, it is better to go to Liao Kingdom first, avoid the limelight, and don't have a hard time with those officials. They haven't gotten rid of my private transfer of troops, and you're making such a fuss again, hehe, those officials have something to do this year. β
Renzong still had a smile on his face when he said about Yanguan. This means that his attitude towards the speakers has changed, although he still lets the speakers speak, and can still listen to them, but he is no longer as fearful as before.
Chen Yuan clenched his fists: "Yes, the minister will go to Liaoguo immediately, and he will not stay in Bianjing for a moment." Hooray, General Di Qing's troops should have set foot on Goryeo now, and the ministers asked them to temporarily pacify those Dongying people in the southern part of Goryeo. As for whether to go north in the future, the minister thought that it would be better to look at the current situation of the Liao State before making a decision. β
Renzong agrees with this statement: "Well, you can grasp this measure, to be honest, now the Liao State is coming to fight, and I am not afraid of them." Shimei, do you know that after Xia Sui and Li Shibin made moves in Western Xinjiang, both the Tibetans and the Uighurs sent people to fight the Liao State with us. Also, that Wang Lun did a good job in the north, and I heard that he had gathered 8,000 Mongol cavalry, and he had won small victories in several battles. Many of the Mongols who were driven to the north by the Liao last time came back to help them fight again, and where the Liao people now deployed 40,000 troops, they still can't quell the war. β
This is really good news for Chen Yuan, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Long live, that Wang Lun's wife and children, as well as the parents of the party gentleman, are all in the Great Song Dynasty. β
Renzong pondered for a moment: "Of course you can, I will let people do this immediately, and it can be regarded as I told Wang Lun that as long as he does a good job in the north, he will not be able to lose him when he returns to the Great Song Dynasty in the future." β
Chen Yuan responded: "Long live the wise." β
Renzong looked at him: "Shimei, some time ago, I have sent Fan Chunyou as an envoy to Liao to congratulate them on the enthronement of the new emperor, so if you go this time, I can't give you the identity of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, you have to be more careful." β
The Liao State sent people to the Song Dynasty and immediately sent people over, this is a matter of etiquette and surname, and it is impossible for Renzong to wait for his return. There can't be two envoys in one thing, and Chen Yuan fully understands this.
"Fan Chunyou? It's the son of Lord Fan, right? β
Renzong smiled: "Yes, if you want to say that although Fan Zhongyan has a somewhat stubborn temper, he is also an upright person. Most of the ministers like him in the court have already arranged their children. Xia Zhu's son is now in the Ministry of Officials, and Fu Bi's two sons are also serving as local officials. Even Ouyang Xiu found a good errand for his protΓ©gΓ© named Su Shi. However, my Fan Aiqing let his son study at home and participate in the scientific examination in a proper manner, which is really a model of this dynasty. β
When Chen Yuan heard this, he said: "Lord Fan is so surnamed Fan, otherwise the hundred officials would not respect him so much." β
Renzong said: "I really can't stand it, anyway, this time I just went to fulfill a ritual procedure, and I called his name." After I came back, I arranged for him, and let Fan Zhongyan take care of me, so that I could say a few words later. β
Chen Yuan disagreed: "If Banzai thinks like this, I'm afraid it's a miscalculation." The minister thought that Master Fan would never swallow some of the things he thought he should say in his stomach because of his son's affairs. β
Renzong actually knew that Fan Zhongyan wouldn't, he was an enlightened monarch, for those courtiers who dared to speak out, although sometimes the roots of his teeth itched with hatred, he was always able to tolerate it, and even promoted such people who dared to say no to themselves.
He didn't say this to Chen Yuan again, and waved his hand: "Okay, you can also leave when you are ready." Things in Liao are still faster, to be honest, when I heard the news of Liao Xingzong's death, I felt very happy at first, but then I actually felt a sense of loss. I wanted to fight him again, but I couldn't get another chance. β
Chen Yuan commanded: "Long live rest assured, if the affairs of the Liao State are favorable to us, it may not take five years for us to fight a victorious and very easy war." β
Renzong nodded: "Well, you can do it." This time I went to Liaoguo to remember, Fan Chunyou is still young, if there is something unexpected that he can't handle well, you have to help him. β
This is natural, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the Han people always talk about a friendship. Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Chen Yuan has always respected Fan Zhongyan's character, and if Fan Chunyou encounters difficulties, he will naturally go to help.
It's just that Fan Chunyou's task this time is very simple, and I'm afraid there is little chance of using it to help.
When he arrived in Liao, he met Yelu Hongji, submitted his credentials in the general form, and said a few words on the scene, and his task was completed. If you have some free time, you can also walk around Yanjing.
When he came out of the palace, Han Qi had already prepared the carriage, and all the people who were going to Liao were on the carriage.
Yelu Lingling, Yelu Nian Chen, Huyan Ruizhu, as well as Qingyuan and Pang Xi.
Qingyuan didn't want to come, he was now from Tianbo Mansion, and he hadn't done anything about fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes for three or four years. But Pang Xi knew that this trip might still be risky, and it was really difficult for him to protect Chen Yuan alone. couldn't stand Pang Xi's invitation, and there was still a little bit of the idea of not being willing to be lonely, Qingyuan was finally pulled over by Pang Xi.
There are also more than 20 Jurchen guards in Tie'anli. This time, take them to Liao, if the situation allows, Chen Yuan will release these people.
In his concept, capable people should go to fight the world and trap them by their side, they are unhappy, and they have a lot less helpers.
Chen Yuan greeted everyone, stepped into the carriage and said, "Hurry up, within ten days, we must reach Yanjing." β
When he walked into the carriage and saw Yelu Lingling, Chen Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he hadn't seen Yelu Lingling for so long and looked a lot thinner, and the bags under his eyes were very swollen, and at a glance, he knew that it was caused by poor sleep and long-term tears.
Chen Yuan can completely understand her feelings, she is the princess of Liao, but she lives in the Great Song Dynasty. When she made this choice, it meant that she gave up her status as a princess.
The identity of the princess can be given up, how can her feelings for Liao Guo and Liao Xingzong be said to be let go? Liao Xingzong died, and she couldn't even go back to take a look, and the pain can be imagined.
She is now Chen Shimei's wife, the Song Dynasty will not let her leave as soon as she says, and the Liao Kingdom will not let her come as soon as she says. If it weren't for Chen Yuan taking her back, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have the opportunity to kowtow on the grave of Liao Xingzong in her life.
This is the status of women, the status of women in the Song Dynasty.
Although Chen Yuan respects several wives very much, and is often bullied by them at home, when he goes out, people still say: "Look, that's Chen Shimei's wife." Even for Zhao Yi: "Look, that's the princess of the Chen Juma family." β
Chen Yuan looked at Yelu Lingling's appearance and felt a little distressed, sat beside her and hugged her gently: "Don't be sad, let's go to Yanjing immediately, where we get there, let's kowtow to your father and emperor together, and then look at the current situation in Yanjing, and then we'll come back, okay?" β
Yelu Lingling knew that Chen Yuan must have gone to find out the truth of the Liao Kingdom this time. But she doesn't care about these, the exchanges between the two countries, it is normal for one country to change and the other to see the situation, even if Chen Yuan doesn't do it, there are other Song people to do it. As long as he can kowtow a few times in front of his father's grave, Yelu Lingling will not force anything.
She nodded in Chen Yuan's arms: "Okay, listen to you, Xianggong, it's best if you have time to stay for a few more days, I miss my mother." β
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, Xiao Tatar? I was a little scared to see this woman. He patted Yelu Ling's shoulder: "Okay, I'll try to stay a few more days." β
