The next day, Chen Yuan and Yelu Lingling took Yelu Nian Chen to the mausoleum of Liao Xingzong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although Yelu Lingling has lost Liao Xingzong's favor in the last few years, although Yelu Nian Chen is also a child that Liao Xingzong doesn't want to see, but Yelu Lingling is still crying very sadly, and Chen Yuan also kowtowed a few times in a proper manner.

In the following days, Chen Yuan was really honest, basically his activities throughout the day were quite regular, eating when he should eat, sleeping when he should sleep, and taking Huyan Ruizhu with him the rest of the time to see how the market of Yanjing was buying and selling on the street. And when he went out for a walk, he usually took the initiative to find a few officials from Liao to accompany him.

There is also going to a banquet for some Liao people, and all kinds of indications indicate that Chen Yuan is now in Yelu Ling, and he will return to the Great Song Dynasty after Yelu Lingling comes out of the palace.

Chen Yuan really doesn't want to do anything now, because this is the Liao Kingdom, and it is the territory of Xiao Tatar. One of the main reasons why he was able to escape last time was because Xiao Tatar's target was not him. It was Yelu Renxian who was going to fight, and Chen Yuan just happened to be used as a pawn.

But this time it's different, all Xiao Tatar's attention is on himself, if he shows a little bit of aggression, Xiao Tatari has enough ability and means to send himself to see Yelu Renxian.

So he just inquired about some market conditions in trading, and by the way, he also asked the people of Liao about their views on the current situation. The Liao officials who accompanied him did not stop him in this regard.

After five days, even if Chen Yuan never urged, Yelu Lingling felt that it was a little too much to stay any longer, and said goodbye to Xiao Tali and Yelu Hongji at the moment. Xiao Tali didn't keep it anymore, but just reminded Chen Yuan not to forget what he promised.

Chen Yuan promised Xiao Tatari that once he returned to the Song Dynasty, he would immediately transport a batch of weapons from the Song army. At the same time, he also promised that he would try his best to persuade Renzong not to start a war against the Liao State within two years.

Embarked on the way home, and arrived in Bianjing more than ten days later.

This time, Chen Yuan couldn't run away, and his carriage was seen by Wen Yanbo as soon as it entered Bianjing. Just as the militia pushed the news tree after the devil entered the village, Wen Yanbo told many ministers the news of Chen Shimei's return as soon as possible.

Those ministers were deeply afraid that Chen Shimei and Renzong would make an offensive and defensive alliance again, and regardless of the fact that it was no longer the time to go to the court, more than 20 people signed a joint letter together, asking Renzong to go to the court immediately and open an afternoon court to solve this Chen Shimei problem.

Chen Yuan originally wanted to go home and have a meal with his wife and children first, but as soon as the table was set, he received a holy decree from the palace, and Renzong asked him to go to the court immediately, immediately.

Chen Yuan was very annoyed by this, but those ministers were even more annoyed.

In their opinion, this Chen Shimei is hateful! What happened in Kyoto in Bianjing has spread in the Great Song Dynasty, those Dongying women have mouths, and most of the high-class goods selected by these Song Jun are Dongying ladies, and many of them can speak fluent Chinese.

After they entered the Song Dynasty, the news of what the Song army had done in Dongying immediately spread. The Song Dynasty has always been a state of gentlemen, but Chen Shimei, as a court official, did that kind of thing in Dongying, which made those officials intolerable at all!

Under the anger of the masses, Renzong could only let Chen Yuan stand up to these ministers.

The leaders are Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu. When Chen Yuan entered the court, the ministers had already come forty or fifty people, they stood in two rows very regularly, and their eyes fell on Chen Yuan's body like a knife, and without waiting for Renzong to speak, Fan Zhongyan stepped forward: "Chen Shimei, you are also a scholar, although the Dongying people have cut off contact with me in the Great Song Dynasty for many years, but since the Tang Dynasty, the Dongying people have always respected our Han people, why are you killing in Dongying?" ”

Fan Zhongyan's finger when he said this pointed at Chen Yuan, and his fingertips trembled slightly: "We have always said that the people of the Liao Kingdom are inferior to the beasts, but this time you have done more than the people of the Liao Kingdom, so what kind of face does my Great Song Dynasty have to claim to be a gentleman's state?" ”

Chen Yuan knew that Fan Zhongyan was very angry, he could understand Fan Zhongyan's feelings, how to say this, now if the [***] team enters Thailand and kills on a large scale, then the leader will definitely be blamed in the future. The reason is that the Chinese do not hate the Thais, and there is no big grudge between the two sides. Even if there is any criminal case, it is an ordinary civil dispute between the two countries. It's like the relationship between the current Great Song Dynasty and Dongying.

Chen Yuan secretly glanced at Renzong, and saw that Renzong was sitting on the dragon chair and did not speak, and immediately knew that he was ready to let himself carry this matter.

Carry it, carry it, Chen Yuan was ready to carry it on the day he destroyed Xiao Yueben.

There are many ministers who have prepared their rhetoric, and once Chen Yuan refutes Fan Zhongyan's words, they will immediately attack him.

Chen Yuanchong Fan Zhongyan made a long bow, did not deny it at all, and admitted his mistake very sincerely: "Lord Fan, the official did something wrong in this matter, and when I came back this time, I asked Long Live and all the adults for their guilt." ”

When it's time to admit defeat, your cards are already turtle ten, or someone else sits in the bank, why continue to follow?

His attitude made those ministers a little unexpected, and even Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and took back the finger pointing at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, why did you do that?" ”

He asked again, although his tone was still so intense, but Chen Yuan could hear it, and the anger in his tone had eased slightly.

Renzong coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "Shimei, if there are any details in it, you can tell it slowly, if you have any other troubles, you should explain it carefully, the adults of the province have misunderstood you." ”

Renzong's words were obviously looking for steps for Chen Yuan. After hearing this, Wen Yanbo stepped forward: "Long live, how can Chen Shimei be in trouble?" The minister heard that the Dongying people had already surrendered to the city, and it was his wolf ambition that tricked the soldiers into Dongying. Long live I don't know, those Dongying women are born with gentle and quiet surnames, but even that kind of woman he Chen Shimei will not let go, under their bewitchment, those reckless men of the army have done a lot of beastly things, please long live! ”

Chen Yuan turned his head and glanced at him: "Master Wen, how do you know that Dongying women are born with gentle and tranquil surnames?" ”

Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment, and then blushed. Chen Shimei's Crescent Moon Villa has a batch of good goods from Dongying, which has already spread in Bianjing. Wen Yanbo prides himself on being a romantic talent, so naturally he will not just stand aside and listen to what others say. And what he said about Dongying was also known from the mouths of those women.

But this thing can be used elsewhere to show off, as the capital of his own romance. But in front of Renzong, he can't be too romantic.

Chen Yuande looked at him with disdain.

If this question is replaced by Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Xiu will admit it immediately, no matter what the occasion. If it is replaced by Song Qi, Song Qi will say loudly: "Where did I get it and what does it matter to you?" ”

For such a person who dared not admit or deny what he said to himself, Chen Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head to Fan Zhongyan and Renzong and said, "Long live, Lord Fan, Xia Guan really knows that he is wrong. I don't want to talk about the reason, it's just that this matter was done by the lower officials, and it has nothing to do with the sergeants, as Lord Wen said, they are just being bewitched, and please don't punish the soldiers on the front line. ”

If he continued to deny it, Fan Zhongyan would be indignant and desperately try to get him, but now Chen Yuan's attitude is so sincere, and he also took the initiative to take the mistakes made by the sergeant, which made Fan Zhongyan, who had also led the soldiers, suddenly eliminate a lot of anger in his heart, shook his head slightly and took two steps back, and didn't speak again.

Xia Zhu came up at this time: "Chen Shimei, what are your grievances, but it can be said, the old man knows that you have always been a stable person, and you have never made such a mistake over the years. ”

Renzong also said: "Yes, Shimei, you tell everyone what happened as it is. ”

Chen Yuan's face hesitated, and his eyes looked around: "Your Majesty, there are too many people, it's not the time to speak, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

After hearing this, Renzong understood and nodded: "Okay, let's go back first, Master Fan and Xia Xiangguo stay, and the three of us will listen to Chen Shimei's explanation." ”

Xia Zhu and Fan Zhongyan were the heads of the hundred officials, and at this time, the two of them came forward, and the others naturally didn't say anything, and those ministers immediately obeyed the order and retreated.

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart, this matter is estimated to be like this, Renzong helps himself, and he will definitely not be in danger. Just now, it was forced by form, so many ministers attacked themselves together, not to mention Renzong, even if Jesus came, he would be crucified.

Now only Xia Zhu and Fan Zhongyan are left, Fan Zhongyan is no longer so angry with himself, Xia Zhu has obviously had a tendency to develop towards redundant officials after he became a prime minister, he has not sought merit over the years, but he has no fault, and he will not be too serious when he thinks about it.

Some things are just afraid of too many people, and if there are too many people to coax together, it will be difficult to do anything.

After Renzong waited for the other ministers to retreat, he immediately asked, "Shimei, what can I say now?" ”

Chen Yuanyi clenched his fists: "Yes, long live, the beginning of the matter has already been explained in the transcript that the sergeants did have some excesses after entering Dongying, but that was the action of a small number of sergeants." Things spiraled out of control while our negotiations with Emperor Toei were underway. At that time, the minister received news that the army of the Liao State was assembled on the border of Goryeo and was ready to kill Goryeo at any time. ”

Fan Chunyou had already said this question when he came back, Fan Zhongyan knew it, and Renzong also knew it. Chen Yuan's pretense, Fan Zhongyan frowned after hearing this, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Yuan continued: "After hearing the news, the minister tightened the blockade of Dongying, but inadvertently captured an envoy from Dongying who had just returned from Liao. From his mouth, the ministers learned that those Dongying people wanted to agree with the Liao people to immediately defeat the remnants of Goryeo's army. I thought that if we let them succeed, our situation would be very unfavorable. ”

Renzong was very cooperative and asked, "How is it disadvantaged?" ”

Chen Yuan continued: "The Dongying people still have a certain amount of naval strength, and the Liao naval division should not be underestimated, if they join forces to occupy Goryeo, they can easily cut off the return route of our Dongying troops. Also, when we fight against the Liao State in the future, we will have one less helper, and the Liao people can completely let the Dongying people help them deal with the Liaodong Jurchens. ”

What he said is half-true and half-false, it is really the Liao State but there is such an arrangement, if it were not for the sudden death of Liao Xingzong, then the Liao State would definitely make such a move. What is fake is that Liao's arrangement has nothing to do with Chen Yuan's slaughter of Dongying people, and he has just had an idea to bring the two things together.

However, Chen Yuan's explanation obviously made Fan Zhongyan accept it. His brows furrowed tightly, already thinking about how to deal with Chen Yuanyi. If Chen Shimei really made such a mistake out of consideration for Da Song, it seems that it is a little inappropriate to punish him too much.
