Chen Yuan's open mouth surnamed Machinery, after a large bowl of tea was poured into his stomach, the breath was smoothed, and his head was a lot clearer. I saw him shake his head violently, then sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes roamed back and forth on the faces of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and after a while, Chen Yuan smiled: "It must be the emperor who wants to see me!" Yutang, Lord Zhan, do you know why the emperor summoned me? ”

Zhan Zhao smiled, he knew that Chen Yuan had returned to normal at this time. Don't hide it at the moment: "Shimei, you behaved very well last time you passed the court, and the emperor doesn't want to kill you anymore." But the matter has not been resolved, after all, it is a homicide, I guess you can't think of anything at all, especially your brothers, who are dead, there is always someone who has to pay for their lives. ”

Bai Yutang also said: "Brother Chen, those brothers of yours are very interesting, although we have arrested more than 40 people, but none of these 40 or so people said that your lord made them do it. At the beginning, Tie Anli said that he did everything and had nothing to do with you. You are really a good treasurer, and your brothers are willing to die for you, and now your life has been saved, and they are still in prison. Master Bao said that they killed people and witnessed them, and if you want to leave their surnames alive, you must let go of the party members and the emperor must speak. ”

The two of them spoke, and Chen Yuan sat on the bed and listened. His mood was becoming more and more stable, and his chest was no longer heaving. His heart was indeed very touched! Although Chen Yuan is not from the rivers and lakes, he still has to talk about the word righteousness when he can talk about it.

He is the main culprit, and Renzong sees that he must have not decided how to deal with this matter in the end. This is tantamount to telling Chen Yuan that there is still a chance! Since Renzong even forgives himself, it shows that he is really a very benevolent person. As long as he can behave better, say these Jurchens more miserably, and arouse Renzong's sympathy, it is not completely hopeless.

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth slowly raised a smile: "Lord Zhan, I'm fine." Can you tell me now why the emperor wants to see me? ”

Zhan Zhao could see that Chen Yuan was fine, and nodded immediately: "The emperor wants to ask you something about the Liao Kingdom and Na Yelu Gollum." ”

Compared with the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty seemed a little chilling. There is no Summer Palace, no Old Summer Palace, not so many houses, and no such grandeur as the Forbidden City.

This may be the emperor of the Song Dynasty in order to show his pro-people side.

In fact, Chen Yuan thinks that this is completely unnecessary. As long as an emperor can give all the poor people something to eat, and let all people have a grass hut to live in, he can live a luxurious life. Money is earned, not saved. The money earned is used for enjoyment, and it is really unwise to think that the Song Dynasty would put a lot of money in the treasury and wait for the enemy to come and harvest a good harvest.

The Liao State is now threatening to go to war, and they don't dare to fight at all, which Fan Zhongyan said is very right! But if the Liao State doesn't dare to fight, it doesn't mean that Yelu Rum doesn't dare to fight! For this Nine Princes, Chen Yuan still knows something!

Kneeling in front of Renzong, Chen Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, the sentencing people think that Lord Fan's speculation is quite inappropriate, and I ask the emperor to forgive the sinners for the crime of speaking out." ”

It was not the first time that Renzong sat high on the dragon chair and met a prisoner in the palace. The last time was a year ago, when he saw Bai Yutang. At that time, Bai Yutang used hundreds of heels to convince Renzong and made him feel pity.

Chen Yuan also wants to show his best side to Renzong today, and he also wants to make Renzong feel that it is the right thing to let himself go! He doesn't do somersaults, he wants to show his eloquence, as well as his wit!

Hearing Chen Yuan's denial of Fan Zhongyan's statement, Renzong immediately became interested: "It's okay for you to say it, I just want to listen to more opinions." ”

Chen Yuan looked at Lu Yijian who was standing on the side, and Lu Yijian also motioned for him to continue. Only then did he swallow a mouthful of spit and clear his throat: "Your Majesty, the people think that it is true that the Liao State is unwilling to fight on both sides now, but if it really fights with the Great Song Dynasty, they may take the approach of defending the party and attacking the Great Song Dynasty!" In this way, even if our Great Song Dynasty wins, we will suffer heavy losses. What's more, if Li Yuanhao reaches an agreement with Liao in this, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the outcome. ”

Renzong was deeply convinced by Chen Yuan's analysis, and said: "Well, I also think so, Lord Fan just means to scare the people of Liao, so that Yelu Ne Gollum should not be too arrogant, and dare to threaten the Great Song Dynasty at this time." We're not really trying to get involved. ”

Chen Yuan still shook his head: "Long live, please forgive the sinners for saying bluntly, Lord Fan's strategy is not wrong, it's just that he didn't see Yelu Gollum's personality clearly." ”

Renzong smiled: "Tell me?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "The ninth prince is insidious, cunning, very capable, but unscrupulous! Long live Rongyu, the sinners think that this time Yelu Gurner came to fight with the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Renzong was very strange: "Isn't Liao Guo afraid? ”

Chen Yuan was confident and said very confidently: "The Liao State is afraid, but Yelu Ne is not afraid!" This time, the Liao unified army attacked the party, it was Yelu Hongji, the son of Liao Xingzong, and it was reported that if Yelu Hongji won the battle, he could be the prince of Liao! Long live, Yelu Nee has been peeping at the position of the crown prince of Liao for a long time, and according to his surname, he will definitely not be willing to lose to Yelu Hongji. ”

After saying this, Renzong was a little unconvinced: "Won't it? No matter what, how dare he joke about Liaoguojiang? ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "In Yelu's heart, this is not a joke about the country. He believed in his own ability, and he believed that as long as the Liao Kingdom was in his hands, it would not take ten years to restore the appearance of the most powerful period! It won't take twenty years for him to be able to lay down the Great Song Dynasty and annex the party! Even if it leaves him with a defeated mess, he can clean it up. ”

Chen Yuan paused slightly, looking up to see the reactions of several people around him. Renzong fell into deep thought, Bao Zheng's face was like water, and Lu Yijian smiled slightly. He has a bottom in his heart: "Long live, among the new generation of Liao, Yelu Gollum's ability is far stronger than Yelu Hongji, not only he believes that he can make Liao rich and strong, but many people also think that Yelu Gollu is the best candidate for the prince of Liao!" So he wished that the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom would also fight at this time! ”

Seeing that Renzong had already paid attention to what he was saying, Chen Yuan couldn't ask Renzong the reason, so he explained: "Once we start a war with the Liao State, Yelu Hongji will inevitably be constrained in the party, and with Li Yuanhao's ability, the Liao State is likely to not be able to get benefits!" Yelu Hongji hit a wall, which is a great thing for him Yelu Negrune! As for the emperor of Liao, he is even more afraid of blaming him. Because once the fight starts, it will definitely be this Yelu Rum who will lead the army to fight with my Great Song, as long as he achieves enough results, he will be able to recover the disadvantage in the battle for the crown prince. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan was silent again, kneeling on the ground and waiting for Renzong to ask. What he said was the truth, and Renzong also knew about the dispute between the princes of Liao, but he didn't expect Yelu Nie to dare to joke about this matter!

"Chen Shimei, I heard that you have a good relationship with Yelu Hongji?"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart: "Your Majesty, it was a good relationship before, but now, the criminals dare not go to Liao again." ”

Renzong nodded: "Then I ask you, you see Yelu Hongji and Yelu Gollu competing for the crown prince, who can win?" ”

Chen Yuan's answer was categorical: "Yelu Hongji! ”

The reason for this is very simple, Yelu Hongji knows where he is inferior to this ninth brother, so he will definitely go all out. And what about Jermane's Gollum? He had no idea that there was a very powerful opponent watching him at any time!

Renzong didn't ask again, the whole palace was quiet, Chen Yuan didn't dare to speak, and Bao Zheng and Lu Yijian knew that Renzong was thinking at this time, and they wouldn't say anything.

After a long time, Chen Yuan's legs were a little numb, and Renzong spoke: "Chen Shimei, then what do you think we should do now to negotiate with Liao!" ”

As soon as he asked this, Chen Yuan immediately knew that Renzong had accepted his statement, as long as it was verified that his statement was completely correct during the negotiations, then not only his own little life, but also the lives of Tie Anli and Su Tu could be saved!

Thinking like this in his heart, he kowtowed busily and said: "The sinners are afraid, and the sinners dare not discuss it!" ”

Renzong may have been tired from sitting for a long time, so he stood up: "If I let you say it, you can say it boldly." You can overturn Yanjing in Liaoguo, I think you must have your own opinion on such a thing, tell me about it. ”

Chen Yuan no longer shirked anything: "Long live, the criminals think that this negotiation is actually completely unnecessary. As long as Banzai agrees to support the party, there is nothing to say to Li Yuanhao. He will surely send someone to thank him for his kindness. There's nothing to say to Yerune Gollum, because this guy is here to find trouble. ”

Renzong smiled: "Then what kind of support do you think I should give to the party members?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "It's okay to say a few words verbally, then Li Yuanhao is not a good person, ungrateful, two-faced." Just like when he was in Liao, Yelu Renxian helped him, but in the end, he still put Yelu Renxian together, just because he found a better partner. If Banzai really helps with all his might, then what we give him is likely to be a meat bun for beating a dog, not only will there be no return, but it will also make the dog worry about it. ”

Renzong laughed heartily: "Meat buns for beating dogs? Haha, that's an apt analogy. But although there is no need to talk about it, but people are going to talk about it, and we can't stop talking about it. ”

Chen Yuan, of course, understands that negotiation is a must.

Commercial negotiations in peacetime are for the purpose of dividing money, political negotiations are for sharing the spoils, and war negotiations are for the purpose of pushing the crime of war on one of the parties! Just like Lao Mei fights this and that every day, she has to talk about it before fighting, why? Just to show others: "Look, I didn't want to fight, but he didn't talk to me!" ”

Therefore, the Song Dynasty must negotiate, and try to achieve a favorable position in the negotiations. Renzong asked him to say so much just so that Song Qi in the negotiation could be more prepared.

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan: "Chen Shimei, I want to know, if you fight with Yelu Neghu, you will do this?" ”

These words made Chen Yuan overjoyed, and Renzong's questions were more inappropriate than one sentence to ask himself about this guilty businessman, but Renzong asked! He knew he had achieved what he was trying to achieve! Now it's time for you to come up with a good idea for Renzong! If things really developed as he expected, and he came up with this idea and helped Renzong, then Tie Anli and Sutu and the others would have hope to come back.

At the moment, he said: "The criminals now have an idea, since the Liao State wants to talk about it, and the party project also needs to be discussed, can the emperor consider pulling them to a table?" ”
