Zhang Yuan didn't care what he said, and continued to agitate his lotus tongue: "Brother Chen, we fought a few battles in Waqiao Pass, the Song Dynasty should clearly see the fighting ability of our party's warriors, if our two families join forces, it will not be a problem to destroy the Liao State!" ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Lord Zhang thinks too highly of me, to be honest with you, what you said is a major national matter, without the authorization of our emperor, I dare not promise anything to Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Yuandao: "I know. I have already written to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and told me what I think. I have heard that many ministers of the Celestial Empire also think so. If my guess is correct, these emperors should summon Brother Chen, and ask Brother Chen to say more when the time comes. ”

Chen Yuan's heart suddenly chuckled! I don't know if Zhang Yuan's words were intentional or unintentional, the emperor wanted to summon him, and Song Qi had just told Chen Yuan in the morning.

In the past few days, Song Qi has reported to Renzong that everything has gone to him, how does Zhang Yuan know that Renzong is going to see him tonight? Chen Yuan immediately understood that with the development of the war situation, after the party members unexpectedly fought two small victories, some officials in the Song Dynasty who were very hostile to the Liao State must have smelled something from it.

There must be someone among them who has already connected with Zhang Yuan, and the idea is the same as what Zhang Yuan said, the two countries will destroy the Liao State together!

The hatred between Song Liao is too deep! Hate is something that can really make people lose their minds sometimes.

Chen Yuan knew that cooperating with the party now would not benefit the Song Dynasty at all! Liao is a wolf, and Li Yuanhao is not a good thing!

He didn't blame those officials for discussing cooperation with Zhang Yuan, but when they revealed that Renzong was going to summon him today, it was obviously a bit excessive! It can be seen from this point that after some officials saw the opportunity to destroy Liao, they really lost their proportions!

Chen Yuan himself is still sensible, he thinks that what Da Song should do now is not to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but to take a quick breath while the two tigers are fighting, and then sharpen the sword in his hand, and wait for the right time to kill the tiger, and kill both of them if he has great strength! If you don't have enough strength, kill the one who is about to win!

He also knows that now is not the time to hold officials accountable, and he should try his best to make up for it!

Chen Yuan smiled at Zhang Yuan: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, I also think that if we cooperate to destroy the Liao people, it will be the best!" If the emperor really sees me, I will definitely speak for Lord Zhang. By the way, Lord Zhang, please let them live in the matter of my brothers. Didn't we know each other at the time? It's all my fault for making this unpleasantness, and for the sake of us now sitting together to negotiate, can we relax and relax? ”

Chen Yuan talked about Tie Anli and the others again, and Zhang Yuan looked embarrassed when he heard it: "Brother Chen, it's not that I don't give you face, to be honest, my brother doesn't want to do this, it's just that our king must let me give an explanation to those who died, and those of us who do things under him really can't be the master, Brother Chen should know this." But I've already told our king that Brother Chen helped us a lot during this negotiation! Our king is now hesitating. ”

Chen Yuan scolded secretly in his heart, he knew that Zhang Yuan still wanted a princess, and this kid clearly didn't see rabbits and eagles!

scolded in his heart, but there was a grateful expression on his face: "Then thank you Lord Zhang for mediating it, Lord Zhang rest assured, tonight I will definitely talk to the emperor about cooperation with the party, as well as the marriage of the princess and the king, I also think that it is better to be sooner rather than later, since it has been negotiated, why wait until the end of the war." ”

Zhang Yuan knew that Chen Yuan was the condition for opening a transaction, and made a surprise at the moment: "Really? That's great! If Brother Chen can let the princess marry into the party as soon as possible, the king will be very happy, then your brothers will definitely be fine! ”

Chen Yuan also looked at him: "Really? ”

"Really!"

"Hahaha!"

The two of them squatted in the latrine, smiling very happily.

In the whole process, the performance of Chen Yuan and Song Qi still made Renzong more satisfied, at least the Song Dynasty could choose so far. Now only the question of the princess remains, and Zhao Yi himself said to let Chen Yuan decide.

"Chen Shimei, do you really think it's appropriate for the princess to marry Li Yuanhao now?" When Renzong asked this, his eyes looked at Chen Yuan, with a very complicated expression in his eyes. He hoped that Chen Yuan would say that it was appropriate, which would make it easier for Zhao Yi to forget this man.

It is undeniable that Chen Shimei is also a very good man, smart, handsome, and the most important thing is that he can take off the only cotton clothes on his body to Zhao Yi in the ice cellar. Renzong knows that such a man is worthy of a woman's lifelong trust.

It's a pity that Chen Shimei already has that rhombus flower! Even if they haven't visited the church yet, but Zhao Yi is their own daughter, how can a princess share a husband with others? Even if the princess is willing to share with Linghua, Chen Shimei's hometown still has a genuine lady! How can a princess be small?!

Chen Yuan didn't know that this princess was Yang Chun who was trapped in the ice cellar with him, and he didn't know that he could survive, it was Zhao Yi who returned to the palace to invite the imperial doctor. The princess was a vague concept in Chen Yuan's heart, and it made him a little afraid.

"Long live, the grass people don't dare to call the shots. It's just that the grass people are absolute, marrying the princess to Li Yuanhao now will definitely make the Liao State fearful, and when fighting with Li Yuanhao, they will inevitably divide their energy to guard against the Great Song Dynasty, which will make them fight longer. ”

The meaning of Chen Yuan's words was very clear, and Renzong knew that this might be the best ending for Zhao Yi, but he was still a little stunned in his heart, so he changed the topic: "Okay, the princess's question is like this." You go back and tell Zhang Yuan that he can leave when Yelu Gollum leaves, and the princess will go back to the party with him. Today, the Liao State has come to the state letter and asked Yelu Gollum to go back, and I think that the negotiations can be stopped immediately. Chen Shimei, you did a good job this time, what reward do you want? ”

Chen Yuan knelt down busily: "The grass people serve long live, serve the Great Song Dynasty, and don't dare to ask for rewards." The emperor pardoned the sins of the grass people, which is already a great grace. ”

Renzong smiled: "I heard that when you were in the Liao Kingdom, you talked to Liao Xingzong about changing the law, so that Liao Xingzong regarded you as a genius of the world, is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Yuan was shocked in his heart, this emperor is the emperor, although Liao Guo kept everything he did in Yanjing secret, but as time passed, Renzong still knew about his situation, including some details. Does he know about himself and Xiao Tatar?

Chen Yuan's eyes rolled: "Long live back, it's true, the grass people were just trying to gain his trust at that time." ”

Renzong nodded, and asked again: "Chen Shimei, if you say a word of truth, who is better than me and that Liao Xingzong?" ”

Chen Yuan did not hesitate: "Long live!" Then Liao Xingzong is a barbarian, to put it bluntly, how can he compare with you? ”

There was no smile on Renzong's face, and he waved him to stop talking. Because Renzong knew that Chen Yuan would definitely have a long list of sycophants next. The sycophants are comfortable, but useless. He wanted to hear the truth.

Chen Shimei didn't say it, Renzong said it himself: "I always feel that Liao Xingzong is better than me. He had the courage to bring the matter of the change to the court, but I didn't even dare to say it. Do you think that the things you are making trouble in Yanjing, Liao Xingzong is like a piece of wood, being deceived and played by the surroundings? ”

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, he really thought so in his heart.

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan's expression and smiled slightly: "This is even more of his excellence, if he is really wood, he will be killed by you and Li Yuanhao that night!" Think about it yourself, Liao Xingzong wants to change the law, and the biggest obstacle is Yeluren first, and now Yeluren is dead! After changing the law, he was afraid that there would be a dominant force, and now Yelu Zongyuan was not as good as before. Although Xiao Tali is smart, this woman has to hide behind others after all, and she can't pose any threat to Liao Xingzong. ”

Chen Yuan was shocked by Renzong's words in his heart, and it was true when he thought about it. He was a little afraid, if this was really the case, then it would be a miracle that he could come back alive! He immediately said: "Hooray, if it is as you said, then doesn't Liao Xingzong know about Yelu Gollum and his son fighting for the crown prince now?" ”

Don't say that Chen Yuan can't see through it, he knows this question very clearly! It's just that the sycophant didn't shoot just now, and I always feel unwilling. He understands that questioning Renzong appropriately shows that there are some things that he doesn't understand, but Renzong can understand, which is a kind of more clever sycophant.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on Renzong's face: "Do you know that mastiff is an animal? ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "When the grass people were in the Liao Kingdom, they saw it, this is an animal that looks like a dog, but it is much more fierce than a dog, and it is loyal, and those Khitan herdsmen are happy to have such an animal." ”

Renzong nodded: "If a dog gives birth to nine sons, there must be a mastiff!" It's just that when you are first born, you don't know that it is a dog and that is a mastiff, and if you raise a mastiff as a dog, it will grow up to be a dog. Do you know how the Liao people identify? They kept all nine dogs in a cage and were denied water or food. Two months later, I went to see the cage, and the last one to survive was the mastiff. ”

Chen Yuan immediately made a statement of enlightenment: "Oh, long live means that Liao Xingzong used this method to choose the crown prince?" Yelu Hongji and Yelu Gollum, who can survive to the end, who is the future king of Liao? ”

Renzong smiled: "You are really smart, this is also where I admire Liao Xingzong, that Yelu Hongji is his biological son!" ”

This is the ancient law of cruel competition, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that the fate of the Great Song Dynasty was the same, there must be a mastiff in the nine sons of the dog, and only by killing the other few can you live! The practice of providing the opponent with New Year's coins like Da Song can only raise the opponent and cannot avoid the doom of being killed in the end.

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Long live, the grass people said something that should not be said, the grass people think that in this war, if a round of fighting starts in that cage, whether my Great Song can take the opportunity to get the most advantageous position is related to whether we are mastiffs or dogs." ”

Renzong nodded slightly: "Yes, mastiffs, at the beginning of the fight, they always don't take the initiative to attack, they curl up their bodies as if they are asleep!" Chen Shimei, this is the reason why I agreed to give up a few hundred miles of Waqiao Pass, we Da Song want to be that mastiff. ”

He spoke calmly, but his calm tone made people feel a kind of strength. This power comes from his identity, he is the emperor, as long as he has determination, he can do it! A small person like Chen Yuan is not qualified to decide whether Da Song wants to be a dog or a mastiff.

But even if Chen Yuan was just a parasite, he wanted to parasitize on a majestic mastiff! Immediately said: "Long live the wise!" ”
