In the imperial garden of the palace in Shangjing, Yelu Hongji is holding a banquet to entertain Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan brothers, speaking of which, he usually does not live in Shangjing, but because Princess Zheng Guo got married a few days ago, he temporarily came to Beijing to live for a few days, and also received Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan brothers here.

"Two imperial nephews, what is your impression of my Da Liao along the way, and what is the difference between you and the Song Kingdom?" I saw Yelu Hongji holding his wine glass high and asked Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan with a smile on his face.

There is still half a month before Yelu Hongji's birthday, and today the other party invited Zhao Yan to them just to chat, and the queen Xiao Guanyin was also by Yelu Hongji's side, and there were also Yelu Jun, Yelu Chongyuan, Yelu Yixin, and Zhang Xiaojie on the Liao side, and in addition to Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan on the side of the Great Song Mission, Su Shi, the deputy envoy, was also here.

"Qi Yu Majesty, our two brothers have gone all the way, and now the people of Liao State live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are also conscientious, which is not inferior to my Great Song Dynasty, it can be seen that under the rule of His Majesty, Liao has become more prosperous than before." Zhao Ji replied without blinking his eyes, but Zhao Yan next to him pouted, Yelu Hongji is a famous faint monarch in the history of Liao, under his rule, Liaoguo has been going downhill, Zhao Ji really didn't even have to fight a draft when he lied.

However, Yelu Hongji obviously did not have this awareness, he heard Zhao Ji praise the Liao State for being very prosperous under his own governance, and he couldn't help laughing proudly at the moment, and then raised his glass to Zhao Ji again, Zhao Ji and the three of them naturally did not dare to slack off, and raised a glass together to salute, and then drank it all.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Yelu Hongji turn his gaze to Zhao Yan again. Then he smiled and said: "I have seen the paintings of Zhao Yan's imperial nephew, it can be said to be wonderful, although I have countless painters in Daliao, but none of them can reach the level of the imperial nephew and you, and even I am not as good as myself, so I specially invited you to Daliao this time, I hope the imperial nephew will not blame me for being too abrupt!" ”

Zhao Yan also learned to deal with this kind of scene during this time, and replied with a smile at the moment: "Your Majesty is polite, painting skills are just a small way, and the Liao country is full of talents." Naturally, it is not comparable to a little nephew. In addition, His Majesty has a big birthday, and the little nephew can make a contribution, which is naturally a great honor! ”

Seeing such modesty, Yelu Hongji couldn't help but laugh again. Then he raised his glass again and again. Naturally, the others followed suit. As a result, after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the banquet slowly became warm, among which Yelu Hongji, Xiao Guanyin and his wife talked about poetry with Su Shi. Instead, Yelu Jun and the Zhao Yan brothers had a good conversation, and as for Yelu Yixin and others, they also interjected a few words from time to time, making the banquet look harmonious.

However, Zhao Yan didn't patronize and drink, but also secretly observed Yelu Chongyuan and the others opposite, only to see that Yelu Chongyuan was a burly middle-aged man, looking very mighty, and unlike his son Yelu Nerugu, Yelu Chongyuan couldn't see the slightest arrogance, but talked and laughed with Zhao Ji and others, and it didn't seem difficult to get along with.

In contrast, although Yelu Yixin, who was sitting next to Yelu Chongyuan, was middle-aged, he was dignified and personable, and he turned out to be a very rare beautiful man, but Zhao Yan knew that this Yelu Yixin in front of him was an out-and-out villain, and after Yelu Chongyuan rebelled and committed suicide, Liao became Yelu Yixin's Yiyantang, and he also concocted the "Ten Fragrance Words Case" with his own hands, and unjustly killed Xiao Guanyin, who was sitting next to Yelu Hongji, and Yelu Jun also died in his hands. In the end, he almost seized the rivers and mountains of Liao, which can be said to be extremely insidious.

As for the last Zhang Xiaojie, although he looks like an old-fashioned old pedant on the outside, Zhao Yan learned from Huang Wude that Zhang Xiaojie is a wavering duplicitous, and he used to be attached to Yelu Chongyuan, but then the two didn't know why they broke up, so Zhang Xiaojie turned to join forces with Yelu Yixin to fight against Yelu Chongyuan, but during this time, Zhang Xiaojie seemed to have signs of reconciliation with Yelu Chongyuan, which also caused Yelu Yixin's dissatisfaction, and it can be said that the relationship between the three of them is simply complicated. The intrigue in the court is also undoubtedly revealed in the three of them.

Just when Zhao Yan was secretly observing the three of Yelu Chongyuan, he suddenly saw Zhao Ji stand up again and salute Yelu Hongji and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang has long heard that His Royal Highness King Xu of Da Liao is unparalleled in his wisdom, and when he sent me to the Great Song Dynasty, he once refuted my Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers speechlessly, and later he was even more conquest of Western Xia and East rejection of the Jurchens, he is really the first capable minister of Da Liao, Xiao Wang has already been very admired in the Great Song Dynasty, why didn't I see King Xu to the banquet today?" ”

King Xu in Zhao Ji's mouth refers to Yelu Renxian, that is, Zhang Xiaojie's sworn enemy in the court, in addition, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin don't like Yelu Renxian, but don't look at the other party's popularity in the court, but Yelu Renxian is extremely talented, whether it is military, political or economic, he has made great achievements, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the first capable minister of Liao, so even if he has been framed before, Yelu Renxian is still named King Xu.

However, when I heard Zhao Ji call Yelu Ren Xian the first capable minister of Da Liao, Yelu Chongyuan, Yelu Yixin, and Zhang Xiaojie's faces immediately became a little unpleasant, after all, none of the three of them liked Yelu Renxian, and now Zhao Yan called the other party the first capable minister, so doesn't it mean that these people are not as good as Yelu Renxian?

Yelu Hongji didn't think much when he heard Zhao Ji's words, after all, Yelu Renxian is also his very important courtier, and Yelu Renxian is indeed very talented, for example, when he served in Nanjing, he was very loved by the people, and when he left, many people sent him off, so Yelu Renxian's prestige among the people is very high, and even some people have long praised Yelu Renxian as the first capable minister of Daliao, and now Zhao Ji specially proposed to see Yelu Renxian, which will only make Yelu Hongji happy that he has such a courtier.

"Haha, King Xu is a busy man, I originally invited him to the banquet today, but unfortunately because there was something temporary, he couldn't get out of his body for a while, so he couldn't come, but it doesn't matter, I will help you find an opportunity in the future, and I will definitely let you make friends with King Xu!" Yelu Hongji laughed at this time, but unfortunately, as soon as his words came out, the faces of Yelu Chongyuan and the others became even more ugly.

Just when Yelu Hongji was talking to Zhao Ji, suddenly an attendant hurriedly ran in, and then said a few words in Yelu Hongji's ear, but Yelu Hongji's face immediately changed, and after a moment of sinking, he suddenly said to Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan: "Two imperial nephews and deputy envoys Su, I want to lose my company now, and I can only let the queen and the crown prince accompany you on my behalf, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Your Majesty's daily affairs are all about state affairs, so you don't have to mind!" Zhao Ji smiled slightly when he heard this, but a trace of imperceptible secret joy flashed in his eyes.

Yelu Hongji didn't be polite when he heard Zhao Ji's words, and immediately called Yelu Yixin, Yelu Chongyuan and Zhang Xiaojie, and then the four of them hurried to the front hall to discuss matters, and only the queen Xiao Guanyin and Yelu Jun were left in the garden to accompany Zhao Ji, Zhao Yan and Gongshi.

After seeing Yelu Hongji and the four of them leave, I saw the beautiful Xiao Guanyin smiling and glancing at Zhao Ji and the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on Su Shi and said: "Deputy Envoy Su, I have long heard that your poetry is the best in the world, and I talked to you just now, which also made the palace gain a lot, it is better to make poetry now, so that the palace can taste it!" ”

Speaking of which, the reason why Xiao Guanyin was able to become the queen, in addition to her extraordinary background, the most important thing is that she is also a very talented woman, and she is an extremely famous female poet in the history of Liao, plus she is extremely beautiful, so Yelu Hongji immediately fell in love at first sight and made her the queen, and the relationship between the two is also very good. It is precisely because she loves poetry that when she met Su Shi, a newly rising talent in the Great Song Dynasty, she also wanted to see the other party's talents.

"The queen mother's mention is good, I have long heard of the name of Deputy Envoy Su, but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to talk with Deputy Envoy Su along the way, now the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, it is the beautiful scenery at present, if Deputy Envoy Su can show his poetry, it is definitely a rare elegant thing!" Ye Lujun also agreed loudly at this time.

Seeing that Xiao Guanyin's mother and son wanted to listen to their own poems, Su Shi was not easy to refuse, plus Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan also agreed very much, so I saw him suddenly stand up, and then walked around the garden a few times, and finally when his eyes fell on a begonia in full bloom in the garden, he immediately recited with a flash of inspiration: "The east wind is full of sublime light, and the fragrant mist is empty and the moon is in the corridor." I was afraid that I would fall asleep in the middle of the night, so I burned a high candle to shine red makeup. ”

Su Shiyin's begonia was his work many years later, but today, on this occasion, it was actually made in advance, which made Zhao Yan a little surprised. After Xiao Guanyin heard this begonia, he lightly opened his lips and whispered the poem several times, especially the last two sentences of the poem, which used people to refer to flowers and flowers to people, which made people can't help but applaud.

"It's a 'I'm afraid of falling asleep in the middle of the night', Deputy Su really impressed the palace!" After a long time, Xiao Guanyin woke up from the world with a bit of psychedelic colors created in the poem, and couldn't help but praise Su Shi at the moment, speaking of which, she has always been conceited and talented, and even thought that no one in this world could beat herself in talent, but when she saw Su Shi today, she was willing to lose, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Su Shi again.

For Su Shi's begonia, Yelu Jun and the three of them also applauded loudly, but although Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji praised loudly, they all seemed a little careless, because they were all thinking about the reason why Yelu Hongji left just now, if nothing else, it should be that their plan has already worked, but whether this plan can be implemented can only depend on the appearance of Yelu Chongyuan and others.
