When it was almost noon, Zhao Yan came out of the palace, and then took the carriage back to his own county palace, and when he came to the inner house, he happened to see Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an, Princess Shoukang, and Xue Ning'er talking and laughing, and when Zhao Yan came in, Princess Bao'an spoke first: "Why has the third brother stayed in the palace for so long?" The third sister and I waited for you in the carriage for a long time with Ying'er sister, but we didn't see you come out, and finally we had to come back together. ”

"The eldest brother said that my father had something to look for me, but it has been delayed until now." Zhao Yan smiled energetically, and then he asked Cao Ying again, "By the way, didn't I let people inform you and let you come back first?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Cao Ying said a little embarrassed: "I originally thought that today's New Year, my husband would not stay in the palace for too long, so I wanted to wait for you to come back together, but I didn't expect you to go for so long, I knew that I would come back early with the second sister and the third sister." ”

"Giggles, in the palace, I persuaded Sister Ying'er to come back early, but she said that Third Brother, you are tired all night, so I want to come back with you, but I didn't expect you to go for so long." Princess Shoukang also opened her mouth at this time, and her eyes at Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were also a little smiling, which made Cao Ying very shy.

Zhao Yan accompanied Cao Ying and them to laugh a few words, and then ate some lunch casually, at this time several people yawned one by one, after all, they all stayed all night and did not sleep, and this morning they went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, which is also thanks to their youth, otherwise if they are older, I am afraid they will not be able to stand it a long time ago.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan and the others went back to their rooms to rest. However, after Zhao Yan was lying in bed, although he felt obviously tired, he couldn't sleep, and he was thinking about going to Liaoguo together, the reason why he didn't tell Cao Ying and them just now was that he didn't want them to worry, and now it was the New Year, and he and Zhao Ji were going to Liaoguo to leave in two months, so there was no need to let Cao Ying and them know so early.

As soon as he thought that he was going to Liaoguo, Zhao Yan thought of Yelu Chongyuan again. Speaking of which, this man is not very famous in history. The reason why Zhao Yan remembers him is also thanks to the fact that he was an out-and-out martial arts fan in later generations, and he also read Tianlong Babu, a martial arts novel based on the Song and Liao periods, many times, among the three protagonists. Zhao Yan is like most people. My favorite is Xiao Feng. So I know the plot related to Xiao Feng well.

In the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, the main reason why Xiao Feng was able to become a brother with Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, was that he saved Yelu Hongji's life in a rebellion born within the Liao State. And the person who started this rebellion was Yelu Chongyuan, who was named the emperor's uncle at that time, and there was not much ink on this role in the book, the reason why Zhao Yan was able to remember this person was because Yelu Chongyuan also had a very strange title, that is, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, originally Zhao Yan thought that this title was just made up in the novel, but then he looked it up on the Internet, and it turned out that Yelu Chongyuan was really named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in history.

It is precisely because of a small act unintentionally in his previous life that Zhao Yan knew the deeds of Yelu Chongyuan, speaking of which Yelu Chongyuan is also very strange, he is the younger brother of Yelu Hongji's father Liao Xingzong, and when their father Liao Shengzong died, their mother Xiao Yunjin favored Yelu Chongyuan, so he plotted to abolish his eldest son Liao Xingzong, and then set Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor, but Yelu Chongyuan immediately told his brother after knowing about it, and Liao Xingzong was furious, abolished his mother's title of queen mother at once, and then named Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's younger brother.

Originally, the above incident was just a simple palace struggle, Yelu Chongyuan may have betrayed his mother out of some considerations, and as a result, his mother was demoted, but he got the title of the emperor's younger brother.

But then there were twists and turns, blame Liao Xingzong for being a big mouth, after a certain drunkenness, he actually promised Yelu Chongyuan that if he died in the future, he would definitely pass the throne to him, not to his own son, but this matter Yelu Chongyuan took it seriously, and as time went by, he slowly became a huge interest in the throne, and looked forward to the early death of his eldest brother at home every day, and then his wish really came true, and Liao Xingzong died before he was forty years old.

But what Yelu Chongyuan never expected was that before Liao Xingzong died, he passed the throne to his son Yelu Hongji, and he had nothing to do with him. So in this case, Yelu Chongyuan was also very resentful in his heart, even if Yelu Hongji ascended the throne and named him the emperor's uncle, and concurrently served as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he still couldn't calm the anger in Yelu Chongyuan's heart, coupled with his son Yelu Nerugu's prodding, and finally Yelu Chongyuan finally rebelled, but unfortunately the rebellion failed and committed suicide.

Thinking of Yelu Chongyuan's life in history, Zhao Yan gave the other party a two-word evaluation in his heart, that is, "toss". Originally, after the death of Liao Shengzong, Yelu Chongyuan's mother Xiao Yunjin was regent, Liao Xingzong had just sat on the throne and was not stable, if Yelu Chongyuan agreed to rebel with his mother Xiao Yunjin at that time, it was very likely to win the throne, but unfortunately he chose to give up, but a few decades later, he actually rebelled to seize the throne of his nephew, and ended up committing suicide.

"Calculate the time, Yelu Chongyuan should also be about to rebel, if my eldest brother and I go to Liao at this time, and then stir up trouble in secret, maybe it will make this rebellion more violent." Zhao Yan suddenly said to himself at this time, although the rebellion is not a good thing, and countless people must have died because of it, but anyway, the rebellion of the Liao State is not the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Yan, who has killed many people, will not frown, and even he hopes that the Liao State will be greatly injured because of this rebellion, and then the Great Song Dynasty will not have to worry about this strong enemy, and even deal with the group of robbers in Western Xia with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan also strengthened his determination to go to Liao, of course, he was also a little worried, in case he and Zhao Ji arrived in Liao, and happened to encounter Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion, wouldn't it be dangerous for him? You must know that Yelu Chongyuan has always advocated attacking the Great Song Dynasty, and if he and Zhao Ji fall into the hands of the other party, there will definitely be no good end.

However, Zhao Yan quickly dispelled this worry, Yelu Chongyuan has endured it for so many years, it is impossible for him to rebel when he went to Liao, and he and Zhao Ji are princes, and their luck is not so bad, otherwise they would not have been reincarnated into such a good family.

In addition, if they take another 10,000 steps back, even if their luck really declines home, they just happened to encounter the Yelu Chongyuan rebellion, but according to the original history, Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion is a tragedy, coupled with the special identity of him and Zhao Ji, when the rebellion is born, it will definitely be protected by Yelu Hongji, and there will be no accidents.

Thinking of these, Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and completely relieved himself about this trip to Liao, as for the matter of sowing discord at that time, it does not necessarily have to be done by him and Zhao Ji in person, didn't Huang Wude have planted a lot of people in Liao, and when he finds an opportunity to use these people, it will definitely have a better effect, Zhang Renxian did this in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is too bad to set fire to the palace, Zhao Yan wants to play high-level, this time it must make Liaoguo hurt his muscles and bones.

Zhao Yan was thinking about the affairs of Liaoguo in his mind, and finally fell asleep unconsciously, and this sleep was very heavy, and when he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day, and he asked the little bean sprouts to know that Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an did not eat dinner yesterday, and they slept until midnight before waking up, and then the four women got together and played mahjong again. Hearing this, Zhao Yan couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that the charm of mahjong is really ancient and modern, and even Cao Ying and her smart women can't escape the clutches of mahjong.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were busy, they not only had to go to the elders of the royal family to pay New Year's greetings, but also went to the Cao family to pay New Year's greetings, and many people went to his house to pay New Year's greetings, and Zhao Yan felt that the New Year was even more tired than usual, but fortunately, around the fifth, this custom of mutual New Year's greetings finally passed, and he could finally take a rest.

Time flies quickly, this day is already the fifteenth day of the first month, that is, the Lantern Festival, but in the Great Song Dynasty it also has another name, that is, the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival in Tokyo City is not only famous in this era, but even passed on to future generations, such as the Water Margin, one of the four famous works in later generations, one of which talks about the Liangshan heroes in Tokyo, because those heroes want to enter the capital to watch the Lantern Festival, and even the robbers have to risk their lives to enter Beijing, which shows how attractive the Tokyo Lantern Festival is.

In order to enjoy the lantern festival on the fifteenth, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an both slept after lunch, and did not wake up until it was almost dark, and then excitedly pulled Zhao Yan to go to the street to see the lights. Speaking of them, these aristocratic women are not easy, usually even if they go out, they are also in a carriage, and they rarely have the opportunity to show their heads like ordinary people, but the Lantern Festival is different, even if it is a girl who is still in the boudoir, you can also play on the street on this day, and even when you meet your favorite man, you can also take the opportunity to make love, so the Lantern Festival can be said to be the ancient Valentine's Day, which is very popular with women.

Zhao Yan also looked forward to the lantern festival in Kaifeng City for a long time, and now he took Cao Ying and them out together, surrounded by a group of maids and women, and guarded by guards on the periphery, so as not to be hit by idle people and other nobles inside, after all, the Lantern Festival is not an ordinary lively, with the identities of Zhao Yan and Cao Ying, it is naturally impossible to really squeeze around like ordinary people. It's just that Zhao Yan didn't know that there was a big surprise waiting for him in this Lantern Festival. (To be continued!)
