Chen Yuan knew very well that the matter of Yelu Nian Chen was just one example, and the current Great Song Dynasty seemed to be a paradise in the surrounding countries, and some people of other nationalities chose to live here, such as the Khitans, Uighurs, Tibetans, Koreans, and Dongying people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven Ah San, who was thousands of miles away, now began to come to the Song Dynasty to do business, some of them were just passers-by, and many of them chose to settle in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.

Because of the successive victories in the war, the national sentiment of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely high, which also gave the Song people a sense of superiority in various fields, and they subconsciously did not allow people of other nationalities to surpass themselves, especially in some areas that they considered traditional advantages.

This situation must be changed slowly, because other peoples and other countries also have good sides, and the Song people must learn to accept and learn to absorb. The reason why the sea is vast is because she has the heart to accommodate all rivers. If the Song Dynasty could not accommodate others, it would not be able to take the steps of conquering others.

In early March of the fourth year of Huangyou, Wen Yanbo returned.

Xia Zhu asked him to come back, firstly, to help himself, and secondly, to give Wen Yanbo a chance to perform. But he was obviously late, just a few days late, and the seemingly ferocious turmoil had subsided, and everything seemed to be back to before, with the common people continuing to work in those workshops, the merchants continuing to make money, and the scholars discussing what to do next in the Song Dynasty.

But that doesn't mean everyone will treat it as if it didn't happen. On the contrary, whether the turmoil rises or subsides, it has caused a strong shock to the psychology of some people.

In their view, Ms. Chen's power must be limited. Yes, he doesn't have an official position now, but he has power, Chen Yuanshang can get Renzong, and the first-class officials in the court speak for him. The lower can drive those peddlers and pawns. He can set off a monstrous wind and waves with a wave of his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the wind and waves can be calmed.

This made those who were already very worried about Chen Yuan even more frightened.

Wen Yanbo really came back to report on his work. The main task of his trip became to deal with the issue of the Asan's request for help.

Wen Yanbo's privy envoy is quite competent, and he has some understanding of the current situation in the Chola Kingdom. At a glance, it can be seen that the Asan want to fake the tiger, or that they want to use their strength to fight with the power of the Song Dynasty to counter the threat of the Seljuk Turks.

Wen Yanbo's attitude was against sending troops directly, because in his opinion, the battlefield between the Zhu Luo Kingdom and the Seljuk Turks was too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the difficulty and risk of sending troops directly were too great.

But Chen Yuan put forward the opposite opinion, he wanted to send troops, and he proposed that the Song Dynasty should fight this battle.

And Chen Yuan thinks that the reason why troops must be sent is also distance!

Arabia is too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and if the Song Dynasty sends troops by itself, firstly, the labor expedition may not be able to win, and secondly, the expenses along the way are indeed a heavy burden.

But now that the three have spoken, it is much more convenient to send troops in the name of the alliance. Both the Uighurs and the Asan were obliged to provide military bases for the Song dynasty, and they had to bear a portion of the supplies.

The Song Dynasty could use this name to build a supply route in the Uighurs, and not only could the Uighurs not refuse, but they also had to provide sufficient convenience and manpower. The passage made it easier for the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty to become queens, and it also strengthened the Song Dynasty's control over the Uighurs.

This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and without this time, the Song Dynasty may have to pay a greater price if they want to control the Middle East. The Middle East is now nothing more than a desert in the eyes of everyone, and in the era of the Song Dynasty, as long as Chen Yuan knew the wealth contained under that land.

The troops were sent to reach out to the Middle East, to open the windows to Europe. Chen Yuan will not do what Ah San wants, and when the war is won, he will teach those Ah San, what is easy to ask God and difficult to send God.

However, the scholars and doctors in the court were very dissatisfied with running such a long way to fight, and Sima Guang thought that such an expedition of laborers would have no effect at all except for the loss of labor and money. Especially now that the Liao State has not been completely resolved, it is not appropriate for the Great Song Dynasty to intervene again in a war that may be lost.

The last confrontation between the Han Chinese and the Arabs dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when tens of thousands of Tang troops were wiped out on that land, a lesson that made many people afraid to approve of Chen Yuan's proposal to fight there again.

Chen Yuan fought hard about this, and the atmosphere in the court was a little unpleasant. Chen Yuan's tough attitude made Sima Guang even more annoyed. In Sima Guang's view, from the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, no one has been able to annihilate Chen Yuan.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Renzong asked Chen Yuan to go to see him alone, but Sima Guang went to Fan Chunyou to drink, wine is a good thing, but it can properly relieve the pressure he is facing. Fan Chunyou's current political concept is similar to Sima Guang's. The two have a lot of language in common.

"Prince Chunyou, did you see what happened in the court this morning? Master Wen Yanbo has just returned, and he has not yet expressed his opinion on the issue of dealing with the Chola Kingdom, so Chen Shimei can't wait to send troops to the Chola Kingdom! That look was as if he was a privy envoy of the court. ”

Sima Guang's tone was very angry.

Strange to say, Fan Zhongyan single-handedly implemented the reform of the Great Song Dynasty, but Fan Chunyou was the one who supported those old regulations, he felt that it was good like before, and now there is always an inexplicable pressure on being an official, worried that his position would be snatched away by others, and that his children would have no way out in the future. How good it used to be, everyone was in harmony.

Moreover, many of Chen Yuan's ways of doing things made Fan Chunyou disagree.

"Brother Sima, in fact, I still don't understand in my heart, why did Xia Xiangguo compromise with that Chen Shimei? If Lord Xiangguo insists, those who can't hold on to trading, as long as there are people in Bianjing, and if they don't do business, someone will do it, what are we afraid of? ”

Sima Guang sighed: "Lord Xiangguo is old, you should also know that he is now ready to let Wen Yanbo take over his class, what he wants at this time is stability, so there are some things he doesn't want to mess with that Chen Shimei too stiffly, he can't think like you and me." ”

Fan Chunyou nodded: "My father is the same, he asked me not to dwell on this matter." But they don't know Chen Shimei, even if we don't entangle, Chen Shimei will try other ways to achieve his goal. I dare to bet with you, this matter of Zhao Shu's establishment of the crown prince will definitely not be smooth sailing, and now Chen Shimei will definitely make a big fuss in front of the emperor! ”

Sima Guang smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand when Ling Zun and Lord Xiangguo understand?" It's just that they have the attitude of seeing the move, hoping to put Zhao Shu in the position, and then everyone will be harmonious. ”

Fan Chunyou's fingers gently circled the wine glass in front of him, stared at the wine in the glass and said, "A ball of harmony? Hum! Why did Chen Shimei help the Chola Kingdom fight? After this battle, my Great Song Dynasty will have to pay a great price, and only these businessmen can take advantage! ”

Sima Guang nodded: "I think so too, don't worry, as long as I'm still in the court, he Chen Shimei wants to do whatever he wants, it's still early!" ”

Fan Chunyou smiled: "That's natural, long live Shengming today, this time Brother Sima was promoted to the supervision envoy, which is to give you enough power to let you supervise the members of the imperial court, and I haven't congratulated Brother Sima yet, come, let's drink." ”

Sima Guang took a sip, and then said: "By the way, I heard that Yan Chasan, the first person Chen Shimei saw when she came back this time, was at the Yuelai Inn, and the two of them talked about it for a long time behind closed doors, and they didn't know what they were talking about. ”

Fan Chunyou asked, "What?" Does Yan Chasan also have anything to do with this matter? This time, Kaifeng Mansion's attitude is very neutral, but I think that Yan Chasan is still reliable. ”

Sima Guang looked at him: "It's because Yan Chasan has nothing to do with this matter, so I'm strange!" What did Chen Shimei do when she first saw him? ”

Hearing Sima Guang say this, Fan Chunyou also suddenly felt that there might be some article in the middle.

In the palace, Chen Yuan did not make any nonsense in front of Renzong, and they did not talk about the issue of the Chuluo Kingdom again, Chen Yuan and Renzong had a tacit understanding in this regard, Renzong asked Chen Yuan to let it go, but Chen Yuan had to convince those ministers.

Chen Yuan knew that if he wanted to persuade those ministers to rely on his own mouth, he had to build momentum, as long as it created a situation that required the Great Song Dynasty to send troops directly, then the matter would be much simpler.

Renzong called Chen Yuan over to tell Chen Yuan about Zhao Shu, that is, the family matter between them.

"Shimei, I will discuss something with you, you see if it will work."

Chen Yuan hurriedly clenched his fists: "Long live but please command, there is nothing wrong with Weichen here." ”

Renzong said: "Let Zhao Yi take the child to live in the palace for a while, and when the child is older, let him live in the palace." ”

This question really made Chen Yuan hesitate, and it was a good thing for both parties to give Zhao Shi to Renzong as his grandson. But Chen Yuan's idea was to just let Zhao Shi hang a name, did he really want him to enter the palace?

Although this place is the pinnacle of power, growing up here means that Zhao Shi's starting point is higher than others, but Chen Yuan knows that this place is not suitable for a child's growth.

Renzong didn't know what Chen Yuan was worried about, for fear that he would regret it: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him." ”

Chen Yuan was worried that Renzong doted on Zhao Shi too much, and when he said this, Chen Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but when he raised his head and saw the hot look in Renzong's eyes, Chen Yuan felt that this was an old man's expectation for a child.

The words that came to his lips were swallowed back by Chen Yuan: "Please rest assured, I will let the princess come back to live for a while after I go back." ”

Renzong put down his thoughts, and the smile on his face seemed even happier: "Then say so, I'll let the carriage pick them up when I get back, by the way, you have to come to see Zhao Yicai often, I will say it to the palace gate, and I will give you some convenience in the future." ”

"Yes, long live thanks."

Renzong's topic then turned back: "By the way, Shimei, what are you going to do about the problem of Liaoguo?" Xiao Tatari is here now, how are you going to arrange her? ”

"Your Majesty, how to arrange Xiao Tatari depends on her attitude. If she really wants to listen to us, that's for the best. If she had any other ideas, we would have to do it in other ways. ”

Renzong nodded: "Well, you can do it,"
