Chen Yuan also told Yan Chasan about his plans in Liao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some people in the current Great Song Dynasty advocated the annexation of the Liao State, while others advocated the establishment of the pro-Song Liao regime. Regarding Yelune, everyone's opinion is unanimous, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed. Chen Yuan and Yan Chasan said that Yelu Nie Gulu was a talent, and if it was possible, Chen Yuan wanted to solve the problem of Liao peacefully. Or to solve it in a softer way, so that the people on both sides will not be too seriously injured by the war.

These topics are purely heart-to-heart conversations between the two of them. When Yan Chasan walked out of the Yuelai Inn, he suddenly found that he had drunk too much unconsciously, and the figures on both sides of the street in his eyes were a little shaky.

But Chen Yuan is right, this newly made wine is really good, obviously drunk, but his head is still sober.

The coachman had been waiting for him at the door for a long time, and when he saw Yan Chasan's footsteps floating, he hurriedly came up to help him: "Oh, master, have you drunk too much?" Shall I send you home now? ”

Yan Chasan's head was not confused: "Where to go to Xiangye, I have something to say to Xiangye." ”

The coachman didn't dare to disobey: "Okay, then you sit down, I'll slow down the car." ”

met Yan Chasan at the Yuelai Inn, which meant that the news of Chen Yuan's return was about to spread. Hide when you should hide, and show your head when you should show your face.

After sending Yan Chasan away, he opened the door of the Yuelai Inn: "Shizhong, let Han Qi prepare the carriage, I will go to Xiangguo Mansion." ”

When Chen Shizhong heard this, he immediately said, "Big brother, shall I go?" ”

He knew that now that Chen Yuan went to Xiangguo's Mansion, Xia Zhu would be good to say that if Xia Zhu closed the door, then Chen Yuan's people would be lost. The president of Chen Yuan's Chamber of Commerce, those scholars don't regard the Chamber of Commerce as a thing, but the businessmen value themselves.

Chen Yuan knew Chen Shizhong's kindness, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "You will definitely not open the door when you go to Xia Zhu, so I'll go." Take the gift slip I wrote and go now. I want Xia Zhu to know that after I came back, I went to see him without even seeing the emperor. ”

Chen Shizhong didn't say anything more in the end, and turned his head to prepare for Chen Yuan.

Now Xia Zhu is worried about the affairs of those merchants, it is impossible for him to bow his head to the merchants, just like Sima Guang and Fan Chunyou said, this is a matter of principle, Xia Zhu would rather be dismissed by Renzong, not this Xiangguo, and will definitely not discuss anything with those businessmen calmly.

However, for a while, he restrained the servants and did not disturb the shops again, which meant to tell the merchants that they would continue to do business in peace. This action obviously did not make those businessmen comprehend, and did not achieve the effect that Xia Zhu expected.

Maybe it was because his message was not clear enough, Xia Zhu decided to find a suitable third party to come out and speak for him. In his opinion, this is already a great concession, if those businessmen still don't know what to do, Xia Zhu has no other way.

Just when he was discussing with Fu Bi about finding someone to come out and talk appropriately, the housekeeper walked in with Chen Yuan's name card: "Master, Master Chen Shimei is back, and now he is waiting for his master to see him outside the door." He said, no matter what, please take the time to meet him tonight. ”

Xia Zhu and Fu Bi were shocked at first, and then they were overjoyed at the same time!

Fu Bi got up busily: "Lord Xiangguo, this Chen Shimei must be here for the business of that business, you might as well listen to what he has to say." ”

Xia Zhu actually didn't have much confidence in his heart, Chen Yuan came to see him when he came back, and he was so anxious, which showed that Chen Yuan also wanted the matter to be resolved. In this case, Chen Yuan could only have two choices, one was to declare war with him, and the other was to come to make a truce with him.

Which one will it be? Xia Zhu said: "Okay, okay, no matter what he says, we have to listen to what he says." ”

Fu Bi clenched his fists and said, "Then the lower official retired first." ”

"Well, no, you're right here, let's talk to him together. Chen Shimei is very cunning, and it is good for you to help the old man come up with ideas here. ”

Chen Yuan came too suddenly, so that Xia Zhu couldn't guess where his bottom line was this time, with Fu Bi here, at least one person to help, Xia Zhu was more relieved.

Xia Zhu hoped that Chen Yuan was here for a truce, he understood that it would not be beneficial for anyone to make any more trouble, so it was a matter for him to return Bianjing to normal, to restore those things that had risen in price to the previous price, and to let those coolies have wine to drink after finishing their work.

Fu Bi thought for a moment and nodded in response: "Yes, the subordinate obeys." ”

Chen Yuan walked in with the housekeeper, just stepped into the door, hugged his fists, and went straight to the point without even saying polite words: "Lord Xiangguo, what happened when the lower officials left these days, it is really the subordinates who are messing around, offending Lord Xiangguo, and please Haihan is." ”

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, this attitude made Xia Zhu's heart feel like he had taken a reassuring pill! As long as Chen Yuan is here to talk about things, the best time to solve the problem has come, and the key now is where Chen Shimei's bottom line is, and whether there is a conflict between his bottom line and himself.

"What are you doing? Respectfully! Respectfully! You can't afford an old man, come, come, sit down and talk. ”

Xia Zhu personally stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yuan's arm, and pulled him to the chair to sit down.

"Shimei, when did you come back?"

"Hui Xiangye, I just arrived today. Originally, I wanted to go and meet Banzai first, but after hearing about the current situation, the lower officials came to Xiangguo first. ”

Xia Zhu shook his head slightly: "Shimei, this is your fault, you should go to see Banzai first, the old man will not have any problems here." I know that those businessmen are your people, how can they not give you face? ”

Chen Yuan looked very ashamed: "It's that the subordinate didn't make a thoughtful deployment after leaving, that Chen Shizhong doesn't know what to do, Xiangguo rest assured, I have already punished him, I asked him to kowtow to Xiangguo tomorrow and admit his mistake." ”

Xia Zhu smiled. Both of them understood in their hearts, how could Xia Zhu give Chen Yuan face? If it wasn't for the accident, what he wanted was to get the Chamber of Commerce done before Chen Yuan came back. Of course, Chen Yuan would not really let Chen Shizhong kowtow to Xia Zhu, this is all a courtesy of officialdom.

They sent a message to each other that the matter was negotiable.

"No need, how can the old man deal with those hairy boys? But Shimei, you have the name of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, according to the old man, you should take care of the Chamber of Commerce. Look at those guys, all of them are not big or small! ”

"Yes, Xiangguo is a lesson. After this time, I'm going to get it in order. Xiangguo, I have asked Ma Chang to come back, and all the shops that are closed will open tomorrow, but I also invite a large number of Xiangguo, and I am not to blame for the past. ”

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, especially when talking to smart people. Xia Zhu heard Chen Yuan's subtext. This Chen Shimei made a condition in this tone of begging for himself, that is, the matter is over, and he is responsible for handling it on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, but the scholar can't hold a grudge, so the page will be turned over, and neither party will mention it again.

Xia Zhu has nothing to say, although Sima Guang and those people are still clamoring to give Chen Yuan a little bit of power, but Xia Zhu understands that Chen Yuan has not done his best yet, and he has forced him to be in a hurry, and he may not be able to get any benefits.

Don't look at this person's respect, just think that people are really afraid of themselves. He has been mixed up for decades, and his eyes are much more vicious than Sima Guang's. It's a good thing that Chen Yuan doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he can't force him at this time.

"Well, Shimei rest assured, the old man has also taught Sima Guang a lesson, and he can't make trouble for others just because the businessmen said a few words. Our Great Song Dynasty still has laws, and the court is allowed to speak, so in the people, we can't seal the mouths of the people. ”

Xia Zhu said and stopped here. Fu Bi cooperated very well beside him, and immediately said: "I don't blame Sima Guang's juniors, most of these businessmen have never read any books, what to say and what not to say, they can't tell the difference at all." There are some words that the old man can't stand when he hears them, don't talk about those later generations. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Xiangguo rest assured, there won't be anything like that happening again." ”

The three of them talked about it as if they were talking about an ordinary dispute, and the agreement between the two sides was half reached. Now that the superficial phenomenon of the contradiction has basically reached a general consensus, the businessmen have taken the initiative to give in, and the scholars are not allowed to pursue it.

There is no need to think about the details, for example, this time Ma Chang and Sima Guang and others caused the conflict because of this matter, of course Chen Yuan would not say that letting Ma Chang set up a table of wine and invite Sima Guang to eat is considered to make amends, even if Ma Chang is willing to put it, Sima Guang may not go.

This kind of contradiction can allow him to continue to exist, as for the deep-seated things, regarding the question of Zhao Shi, Xia Zhu originally wanted to wait for Chen Yuan to come back and see his attitude, but now he happened to say it together.

"Shimei, long live to accept your newborn son as a grandson, do you know about this?"

Chen Yuan didn't deceive Xia Zhu, and nodded: "The princess told me when she was pregnant, and I wasn't sure if it was a boy or a girl at that time, so I agreed." ”

Xia Zhu doesn't care if Chen Yuan said it in passing, anyway, the matter was caused by your Chen Shimei's son, as Lao Tzu, you have to come forward to solve it.

"It doesn't matter if you say it casually, do you know how much turmoil the court caused?"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect it. ”

Fu Bi hurriedly asked: "Now the emperor and those princes are very stiff, Chen Shimei, you also know the emperor's surname, you must have a way to solve it." ”

Chen Yuan looked at Xia Zhu and then at Fu Bi: "Two adults, there is really no way for the lower officials, you also think about it for the lower officials, long live the mouth, what can I do?" Besides, you two first-class ministers are helpless, how about letting the lower officials do it? ”

Xia Zhu and Fu Bi looked at each other, they were a little suspicious, suspecting that Chen Yuan was shirking. Chen Yuan continued: "That's it, tomorrow I will ask Banzai to make Zhao Shu the crown prince, and I will say the words, as for the rest of the matter, please forgive the two adults for their slight words in the official position, and it will be annoying to the two of you." ”

Xia Zhu's eyes lit up, and then he nodded: "Okay, okay, tomorrow you come to talk, and we will do it." Let's discuss it now, and try to get Banzai to say yes tomorrow. ”

An agreement is reached. This is only a preliminary agreement, but such an agreement is sufficient for the dispute of the family. There is no need to be serious about state affairs, let alone explicit regulations, both sides know what to do.
