Chenliu is located thirty miles east of Kaifeng, is a small county town, in the history of the Central Plains, Chenliu has been set up as a county and country several times, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Chenliu County is Cao Cao's place of troops, and it is precisely because of this, so Emperor Xian of Han was imprisoned in Chenliu, which also opened the history of Chenliu imprisoning the abolition of the emperor, but in the Tang Dynasty, Chenliu County was completely abolished, since then there is only Chenliu County and no Chenliu County.

The Great Song Dynasty is in Kaifeng, which makes the jurisdiction of Kaifeng City is also very large, Chenliu County is naturally one of the jurisdictions of Kaifeng, but it is precisely because Chenliu is too close to Kaifeng, here is not very prosperous, this is like Beijing and Hebei in later generations, too many political and economic conditions have been artificially gathered in the capital, like a vampire to absorb the surrounding population and resources into the capital, although the surrounding areas are backed by the capital, but can not develop.

Chenliu is such a situation, originally this county is still a middle county in Kaifeng, but as Kaifeng City becomes more and more prosperous, the population in the county has rushed to the capital to find something to do, and even the people who farm the land are a little insufficient, and now Chenliu County has fallen to a level, becoming a lower county, and even so, the population is still in the continuous loss, it is estimated that in a few decades, I am afraid that the entire county will disappear.

However, this situation has been improved a few years ago, because the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Liao State, and the Liao Emperor Yelujun led his troops to surrender, in order to settle Yelujun, these Liao nobles, according to the conditions promised to them by the Great Song Dynasty, so Yelujun was named the king of Chenliu, and almost all of him and those important Liao nobles were moved to Chenliu, and these people and their families together were more than 2,000 people, which also made the whole Chenliu lively all of a sudden.

In order to guard these Liao nobles, especially Yelujun, the king of Chenliu, the Great Song Dynasty arranged heavy troops around Chenliu. In addition, there are also a lot of garrisons in Chenliu's territory, and even to some extent, Chenliu's troops are more than the Imperial Palace in Tokyo City, but unfortunately, although these troops are usually responsible for protecting Yelujun's safety, but in case of any critical situation, they will kill Yelujun as soon as possible. lest anyone rescue Yelujun and cause wind and rain.

With the arrival of Yelujun, the remnants of the Liao State, Chenliu, a small county town that was already a little decayed, began to flourish again, first of all, the imperial court began to pay attention to Chenliu, such as all the main roads were replaced with cement roads, and even the imperial court was preparing to wait for a railway to open here, of course, these were all to facilitate the monitoring of Chenliu's movements.

In addition, although those Liao nobles lost their country, and even the capital was occupied by the Jin State, although they were later recaptured by the Great Song Dynasty, they also discarded most of their belongings when they fled. But even so, they are still much richer than ordinary people, not to mention that in order to appease the hearts of these Liao nobles, when Yelujun surrendered, the Great Song Dynasty rewarded them with a lot of property, so after these Liao nobles came to Chenliu, many merchants immediately came to hear the wind and set up shops in the city. For a while, the whole Chen Liu seemed to have a second spring, and there were more pedestrians on the street.

Zhao Jia took Yeluchun's family in a carriage to Chenliu County. Because there are too many Liao people in Chen Liuzhong, no one dares to guarantee whether there are still people who hate the Great Song Dynasty, so for his own safety, Zhao Yan deliberately brought a thousand guards, and when his team came to the gate of Chen Liuxian County, it also attracted the attention of many people.

"Chenliu County!" Jerezon, who was sitting in the carriage, saw the name on the city gate. At the moment, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, he finally understood the arrangement of the Great Song Dynasty for him, it turned out that he was going to lock him up with his cousin Yelujun, speaking of which, it was he who took the lead in surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, which led to the lack of cities to defend in the south of the Liao Kingdom. In the end, he ended up defeated, so if Yelujun didn't hate him, I'm afraid Yeluchun himself wouldn't believe it.

As soon as Zhao Yan and his party came to the gate of the county seat, they immediately saw an official leading a group of clerks and officials to come forward to greet him: "Chen Liuxian ordered Zhao Xun to meet His Royal Highness King Yue!" ”

"Zhao County's order doesn't have to be polite!" Zhao Yan saw this county order of the same age as him and smiled and said, this Zhao Xun not only has the same surname as him, but also a member of the royal family, but he is already a side branch of the royal family, and the family has long been without a title, but this Zhao County Commander is a resolute scholar, from his teens to the imperial examination, until he was in his thirties, Ye Lujun was sealed in Chenliu, and he needed an innocent official to manage Chenliu's affairs, so Zhao Xun entrusted him with the blessing of his birth, and suddenly became Chenliu's county order, Now Chen Liu has barely reached the level of the upper county, and the average jinshi can only serve as the county commander of the middle county at most.

At the moment, Zhao Yan entered the county seat under the greeting of Zhao County's order, only to see people coming and going on the streets of the county, of which the Han people accounted for the majority, but there were also many Khitan people walking on the street, these are the Liao nobles and their family servants who were imprisoned here, although they were nominally imprisoned here, but in fact, as long as they did not leave the county seat, they would not be ignored, there was a white line in front of the county gate, there was a forbidden line for the Liao nobles, once someone approached, they would be driven back by the defenders of the city gate, If someone dares to forcibly break through, if there are Liao nobles who dare to leave in disguise, then what awaits them is the whole country's wanted, and if they are caught again, it will be a capital crime.

"Zhao County Order, Chenliu County is quite lively, how is the situation in the city during this time, is there anything unusual happening?" Zhao Yan asked Zhao County to get into his carriage, and then asked casually while looking at the situation on the street. In addition to managing the affairs of the entire county, the most important thing is to monitor the movements of Yelujun, the nobles of the Liao State, after all, he is a county order, and it is very convenient to do this kind of thing.

"Your Royal Highness, everything is normal in the county, two hundred and thirty-seven Liao nobles are registered, and they are all honestly staying at home, at most they are going around the county, no one has ever dared to make any changes, but ......" At the end, Zhao Xun seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face showed a look of embarrassment at the moment.

"What's the matter, just say anything straight!" Zhao Yan saw the look of embarrassment on Zhao Xun's face, and spoke again at the moment.

"His Royal Highness, it's not a big deal, it's just that King Chen Liuwang has begun to like to plant flowers and grass since he came to Chenliu, some time ago he also personally came to the county government and asked the lower officials, hoping that I can help him find some seeds of exotic flowers and plants to send to his house, and after the secret observation of the lower officials during this time, Chen Liuwang stayed in the house every day and did plant flowers and plants, and every day he personally watered the flowers and plants, although this seems normal, but it is very different from his previous temperament, That's why Xia Guan feels a little strange. Zhao Xun said cautiously at this time, it is normal to like flowers and plants, but this is not like what people like Yelujun do.

Zhao Yan was also a little surprised when he heard Zhao Xun's report, he also knew more about Yelujun's character, as far as he knew, Yelujun was not like a person who played with flowers and plants, but he was very interested in drinking and having fun, otherwise he would not hand over the government to Yelu Yixin to deal with, but this can't be said to be impossible, maybe Yelujun was hit by the death of the country, and suddenly changed his interest and began to shift all his energy to flowers and plants.

When he was talking, the carriage had passed through half of the county, and finally came to the gate of a new mansion, only to see that the area of this mansion was very large, and it was not inferior to Zhao Yan's Yue Wangfu, but it was much worse in architecture, but it was also a first-class mansion, and the plaque on the door of the mansion was written with four big characters "Chenliu Wangfu", after all, Yelujun was also a prince no matter how he said it, so Da Song couldn't treat the other party too slowly, this palace was also built for him in Chenliu County after Yelujun surrendered.

At that moment, Zhao Yan stepped out of the carriage, Ye Luchun also got down from the carriage behind at this time, when he looked up and saw this large-scale mansion, his face showed a little bitter smile again, originally the person he didn't want to see was Ye Lu Jun, but unfortunately now it seems that he can't hide, but I don't know if his cousin will go crazy when he sees him?

Although Yelujun is a prisoner of war of the Great Song Dynasty, but now he is also the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also Zhao Yan's brother-in-law, so it is impossible for him to break in directly without politeness, but to let people send his name sticker, and guards are also arranged in front of the palace, and these guards are not arranged by the Great Song Dynasty, but the palace guards of the Liao State who surrendered with Yelujun, they are all diehard loyalists of the Liao State, so even if Yelujun is no longer the emperor, they still serve as Yelujun's guards, but their number is not much, There were only fifty guards in the entire mansion, and the rest were all disbanded as civilians of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yan's name card was just sent in for a while, and he heard a rush of footsteps from inside, and then he saw that the door of the mansion was opened, and Yelu Jun, who was dressed in civilian clothes, also strode out of the mansion.

"Haha~, Brother Yan, you are a rare guest, why did you think of coming to sit with me today?" Yelujun was the first to see Zhao Yan standing in front, and immediately greeted him with a big smile. But as soon as Ye Lujun's words fell, he suddenly saw Ye Lu Chun standing next to Zhao Yan smiling bitterly, and his face couldn't help but stiffen at the moment, and his steps forward stopped suddenly.
