How long Li Yuanhao can be happy Chen Yuan doesn't know, anyway, he is in a very unhappy mood now. Even if he is not happy, he still has to continue with the team, which is the price he must pay if he wants to be an official.

If it's just a business, I can't afford to provoke you if you're unhappy, at least I can afford to hide. But it's different in officialdom, not only can't you hide, but you can't let others see that you are unhappy with him.

Walking into Yanjing, the firecrackers began to be set off, and the emotions of those Jurchens were a little frightened, and from time to time some rotten vegetable leaves or rotten apples were thrown at them on both sides of the street, and the angry scolding was endless, making people like Wanyan Ruru a little frightened.

He is not afraid of death, and the Jurchens are not afraid of death, because from the moment they were born, they have been struggling on the line of death. But they were afraid that if these Liao people were excited and rushed over to make themselves half-dead, it would be miserable.

Chen Yuan obviously noticed this situation, and immediately divided two groups of soldiers to separate the crowd on both sides, ensuring that those Liao people would not rush up and cause any bloody crimes, except for being able to attack and curse from a distance.

Now in Chen Yuan's heart, he still adheres to the concept that the fifty-six nationalities are one family, and this concept has been instilled and deeply rooted since he was born in his previous life.

Chen Yuan's actions made the hearts of those Jurchen captives secretly grateful, and Yelu Nee smiled slightly: "Brother Chen is really kind-hearted, I dare to assure you that if we fall into the hands of the Jurchens, it will definitely be worse than death." ”

Chen Yuan disagreed: "The one you are talking about is you, I fell into the hands of the Jurchens, didn't I come out in a good way?" ”

Jermane grunted, "I almost forgot." By the way, Brother Chen, you won't blame me for not saving you, right? ”

Chen Yuan said: "What did the Ninth Prince say? If you had done what the Jurchens had told us at that time, we would have been really troublesome now. By the way, the Ninth Prince, why didn't I see that Yelu Shubao? It stands to reason that he shouldn't have appeared on such an occasion? ”

A sneer broke out on Jerune's face: "If I win, he will definitely come." It's just that I didn't fight this battle, and that guy thinks he's preparing something for me that will surprise me again! ”

Chen Yuan looked at Yelune's grunting face and said slowly: "If that's the case, he's just boring himself." After all, Hongji is still a child, and when he suddenly grows up a little, they want to make a fuss about Hongji, which is simply impossible. ”

Yelu Ne turned her head with a grunt: "Brother Chen, don't you have a good relationship with Hong Ji?" Don't you want him to sit in the position of crown prince? ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "I have a good relationship with Hong Ji, but I also admire you and you, the prince." Hong Ji doesn't have that ability at all now, I'm afraid that he is too young to stand the bewitchment of some people, and if he does something that damages the brotherhood between you, it will only cheapen others. ”

Yelu Neg's grunted face stretched a little: "What Brother Chen said is extremely true, in fact, if Hong Ji could, I would not fight with him, and now the concerns in my heart are the same as Brother Chen, but there are some things that are not good to say to Hong Jiming." ”

The second half of the sentence is true, but the first half of the sentence is obviously insincere. Of course, Chen Yuan would not discuss the first half of the sentence with him, and after listening to Yelu Ne's grunt, Chen Yuan immediately said: "The prince still has some trust in me, I will say it from the side, but I don't dare to guarantee what will happen to him, the ninth prince knows that those demagogic words are always better than the truth." ”

Yelu grunted and nodded: "In this case, I have to bother Brother Chen a lot." After entering the palace immediately, the emperor will definitely let you enter the court as an official, according to Brother Chen's talent, I think that the queen must be a person under one person in my Liao State and above ten thousand people. ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "If you can, I also hope that I can cooperate with the ninth prince in the future, and ask the prince to help." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived outside the palace. All the meritorious generals were waiting here for Liao Xingzong to summon them, and the four Xiao guards couldn't hold back the joy in their hearts, and they were already discussing on the side that they should go to the above place to celebrate in the evening.

After discussing for a long time, Escort Xiao walked over to Chen Yuan: "Lord Chen,"

Chen Yuan hugged his fists and saluted back: "Escort Xiao, what's the matter?" ”

A somewhat weird smile appeared on Guard Xiao's face: "Lord Chen, the brothers have been running outside for many days, and I want to find a place to have fun tonight, I wonder if Lord Chen is willing to go with me?" ”

Chen Yuan thought about it and understood, this was clearly to fight the autumn wind, and said with a smile: "If you are invited, you will naturally go down." Well, after coming down from the court, how about a few people wait for me here for a while? ”

Xiao Huwei and the others laughed very happily: "Haha, of course, of course." ”

They were talking and laughing very happily here, but the Jurchen leaders over there were a little worried about their unknown fate. Seriously, if he was Uta Begu, he would have recognized it at this point, and if he rebelled, he would have nothing to say if he was killed.

The key is that they are here to help, the robber ran away, but the one who let the wind was arrested. Will the Liao people use themselves as a knife?

Wan Yan Ruru looked at the several tribal leaders around him, and sighed secretly in his heart, this time he wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect to take the entire tribe.

The high-pitched voice of Chief Manager Liang finally sounded, and Liao Xingzong announced that all the meritorious generals should be presented. Everyone immediately lined up and walked in one after another according to the size of their current official positions.

Above the court, a group of important ministers of the Liao State stood on both sides, and when Yelu Nee came in, he saw that the ministers on both sides had different expressions on their faces, some were proud, and some were depressed.

And Yelu Hongji and Yelu Lingling were already standing under the dragon chair of Liao Xingzong, and opposite the two of them were Li Yuanhao and Song Qi.

After the generals entered the house, they immediately bowed down and gave Liao Xingzong a big gift.

After Liao Xingzong and the others finished saluting, they waved their hands to let everyone get up and began to announce rewards and appointments one by one.

Although this reward brought a lot of Liao Xingzong's subjective thoughts in it, it was not very fair, but in general, the generals who went on this expedition were all promoted, so no one said anything.

Until the end, Liao Xingzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, come forward and listen to the seal!" ”

Chen Yuan took two steps forward, Liao Xingzong looked at him and smiled slightly: "I, now appoint Chen Shimei as the Khitan general of the Northern Privy Council." ”

When Chen Yuan was about to thank him, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Long live!" The old minister thinks that it is quite inappropriate to reuse a Song person in this way! ”

Chen Yuan turned his head to look, but it was Hou Xi who stood up and opposed Liao Xingzong's decision.

Hou Sha's appearance, many people immediately echoed in unison.

The Khitan general of the Northern Privy Council of Liao, which is equivalent to the current secretary of the Office of the Vice Premier of the State Council, is not a very powerful position. It's just that, according to convention, this position is held by the Khitans.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhang Li, who once held this position. That was also after Zhang Li had completely gained the trust of the Khitans.

Now Liao Xingzong has put such an official position on Chen Yuan's head, not only to value Chen Yuan, but most importantly, to challenge the so-called "ancestral family law!" ”

Sure enough, as Liao Xingzong expected, after this position, which had always been held by the Yelu family and the Xiao family, was placed on Chen Yuan's head by himself, the entire court was in an uproar.

Not all of them opposed this decision, and a group of reformist ministers led by Yelu Zongyuan supported Chen Yuan at this time.

On the surface, the two groups of people quarreled over whether Chen Yuan could become the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but in fact, the most fundamental dispute was whether the official system of the Liao State would change or not change.

The reformers and the conservatives have quarreled many times in the court, and they are doomed to be fruitless. Chen Yuan stood silently in the middle of the hall, and he became a spear or shield in the mouths of the crowd, which was constantly carried out by both sides to attack the opponent or protect himself.

Yelu Renxian and others supported Liao Xingzong to reward these meritorious men under Yelu Hongji, because this was a blow to Yelu Niglu. But when Liao Xingzong said the appointment of Chen Yuan, they immediately stood up against it.

On the one hand, the reformers hoped that Liao Xingzong would continue to support Yelu Nie Gulu on the issue of the crown prince, and on the other hand, they would resolutely support this unconventional appointment, hoping to break the existing official system and break the stalemate between the two sides during this period.

This is officialdom, even if Chen Yuan didn't do anything, he was still pushed to the cusp. What's even more sinister is that he doesn't seem to have any ability to fight at all, and can only move forward with the waves, as for whether he will be sent to hell or pushed to heaven, it depends on the outcome of other people's battles.

All the important ministers of the Liao State who had the right to speak participated, and the court became more and more lively, Chen Yuan peeked at it, and Liao Xingzong, who provoked this battle in the entire hall, still didn't say a word, sitting on the dragon chair and watching the noisy ministers below.

Li Yuanhao and Song Qi, the two invited VIPs, did not speak, Li Yuanhao's face was always smiling so confidently, and when Chen Yuan's eyes swept over him, he found that Li Yuanhao was also looking at him.

"Chen Shimei, why don't you speak?" Liao Xingzong finally kicked the ball to Chen Yuan's side, his purpose of testing other people's reactions had been achieved, and the quarrel could not distinguish right from wrong, so it naturally could not go on endlessly.

Chen Yuan had already thought of the wording, and immediately said when he heard the words: "Back to the emperor, the grass people think that the reason why you oppose the emperor's proposal is not unreasonable. Thinking that the grass people just came to Daliao, although they were loved by the emperor, it was really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, and I hope that the emperor will think twice. ”

A smile appeared in Liao Xingzong's eyes, and he was very satisfied with Chen Yuan's words. Because Chen Yuan's resignation left a step for everyone, including himself. Now, Liao Xingzong is ready to go down this step, and there are no fools who don't know each other in this court.

Liao Xingzong nodded: "Okay, it's just that I have always said that what I say will not change." In this way, let Chen Shimei temporarily take over the position of Khitan general of the Northern Privy Council, observe for a while, and if he is qualified, he should be reused. If it is not qualified, it will be arranged separately. ”
