Chapter 118 Contradiction (please subscribe, support!)

Chen Yuan was not afraid of him saying this at all. At least until the task was completed or failed, Pang Xi would not do anything to himself.

He gave Pang Xi a blank look: "After entering the city, we will go to the inn first. Go and find out that Xiao Suli, remember to find out that they are standing there. If you can ask the Liao Kingdom's military trends clearly, that would be great."

Pang Xi nodded: "I understand, when will you go to see Xiao Suli? Let me tell you that although he does not have real power, his sister is the queen of Liao Kingdom and can help us a lot."

Chen Yuan said: "I know, you pave the road first, I will go tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "Amuda, Xiaowen, you two come here."

Amu Dai and Yang Wenguang came to Chen Yuan by horse and said, "Shopkeeper, what are the instructions?"

Chen Yuan said: "Amuda, go and look for each inn to see where Wang Lun lives. They are taking the shortcuts, and I think we will get on a little faster than us. Xiaowen, you will arrange the accommodation for the guys in the inn tonight. Everyone has worked hard. Remember, four words: Eat well and drink well!"

Yang Wenguang and Amuda both said that they understood, and Hu Jing looked at Chen Yuan very eagerly.

Chen Yuan found that women were really a very strange animal. Before she was pushed down, she took care of herself in everything. Now that she asked her not to talk outside, she really stopped talking, which made Chen Yuan feel very accomplished.

After reaching out and waved, Hu Jing immediately came over to wait for the order. Chen Yuan smiled at her: "Promise me not to allow it!"

Hu Jing nodded: "Yes."

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this attitude: "Okay, go to the banquet with me tonight."

Pang Xi on the side was stunned: "Are you really going?"

Chen Yuan nodded without answering Pang Xi's words. This guy has developed limbs and simple minds. This trip is a cover for business. The real task is to provoke a fight between the Khitans and the Dangxiang people. If he does not contact their real power figures, where can he start?

Just as they were despising Pang Xi in their hearts, they walked into the city gate.

With the special care of Yelu Niegulu and the two Liao soldiers leading the way, after a simple investigation, the group entered Yanjing.

Yanjing is the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Although it is not as prosperous as Bianjing, some shadows of Bianjing can be seen from the residents' clothes or the buildings in the city.

This is the true manifestation of an ethnic minority regime in the face of the thousand-year history of the Han people. On the one hand, they cursed the Song Dynasty and despised the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, they were imitating it unconsciously. I hope they could be like the Song Dynasty.

The reforms that Liao Xingzong is going to do now are actually to raise some of the things that the Liao people are already doing and what they really want to do from the bottom of the table.

But there are always some people who have good face, or doing so will always offend the interests of some people. For example, Yelu Renxian scolded the Song Dynasty for a lifetime, but now he suddenly admits that he can't save face no matter what.

But he didn't say that he couldn't hold his pride, he said that his ancestors couldn't hold his pride. In this way, many people stood on his side and used the excuse of safeguarding the face of his ancestors to safeguard their current interests. Among them, they were very powerful in the Liao Kingdom to serve as the king of the North and South Courts, Yelu Huji and Yelu Han Ba, two very powerful old ministers.

The strength of the reform faction is not inferior. In addition to the support of the emperor and Yelu Chongyuan and his son, Yelu Qiuhan, Hou He and a group of newly-rise Han officials cheered for him.

Chen Yuan had no interest in the battles between Liao Kingdom. He was just concerned about whether the situation like Liao Kingdom would have an impact on his tasks. In other words, whether he could find factors that facilitate his tasks to be completed in the middle.

Yelu Niegulu's footsteps had already caused a sensation before he stepped into Yanjing. Because everyone knew that the emperor immediately made him the crown prince.

Everyone knows that this time it was Yelu Niegulu or Yelu Shubao who came back, which determined the future political direction of the Liao Dynasty.

They walked into Yanjing in Yelu Niegulu's footsteps, and all they heard were speculations and conjectures about what kind of storm would be set off in the court because the Ninth Prince came back.

Two soldiers took them through several street intersections and stopped in front of a very decent inn.

The first inn is the first one. After Chen Yuan looked up and saw these three words, he immediately said loudly: "Okay! This name is well-known! The first three words are written better!"

The soldier who led the way said hurriedly: "Haha, Manager Chen is really eye-catching. I don't know what's good about this name, but the sign on this inn was written by our emperor."

Chen Yuan was even more surprised when he heard this. You must know that Chen Shimei is a literary talent. Although Chen Yuan did not intend to discover Chen Shimei's literary talent, the quality of the handwriting can still be seen.

The three Chinese characters on the sign are written neatly and freely, and they are bound by the square but cannot control the faint domineering spirit. This technique is enough to show that the writers have some profound attainments in calligraphy.

In Chen Yuan's imagination, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom might be a standard barbarian who didn't even know Chinese characters. So after hearing these three characters were written by Liao Xingzong, and also knowing that Liao Xingzong was committed to reforming the national affairs of Liao Kingdom, he felt that the title of barbarian emperor seemed to be unsuitable to Liao Xingzong.

The inn is also very particular. The lobby is spacious and bright, and the tables and chairs are very clean. The rooms are divided into four levels. In addition to the upper, middle and lower grades that are often found in the Song Dynasty, there is also an additional bed for those who live in or poor people.

Another soldier said to Chen Yuan: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Chen, this is the best inn in Yanjing. He has always been used to entertain state guests. If the Ninth Prince hadn't been familiar with this boss, he would not have been able to book a room today."

Chen Yuan smiled and couldn't help but think that if this was the place where Liao Kingdom entertained state guests, wouldn't it be possible to meet Song Qi?

Arrange the guys first, thanks to their hard work along the way, otherwise Chen Yuan would have died at the hands of the bandits.

Although it was a bed open, Chen Yuan each asked for an extra quilt to ensure that the guys would not feel cold at night. He also specially asked the kitchen to prepare good wine and food. Tonight these guys didn't have to make anything, just eat and drink.

Seeing the guys settled down, Chen Yuancai and Hu Jing accompanied the two soldiers to Yelu Niegulu's house, which is now the Great Palace of the North Courtyard.

"By the way, what's your princess' name?" Chen Yuan talked to the two soldiers.

I just wanted to open the soldier's chat, and also told Hu Jing that he didn't care about the princess at all. He had been with him for so many days and didn't even know his name. In fact, he had known that the princess was Yelu Luling for a long time.

The soldier immediately replied and whispered: "Our princess is Yelu Luling, who is the eldest princess of the emperor."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Oh, the family of the two military masters is in Yanjing City, right?"

As the conversation started, Chen Yuan slowly chatted with them, and as he talked, he talked about the issue of the reform of the Liao Kingdom. Chen Yuan knew that the most important point of whether a reform could be successful was whether it was in line with the interests of most of the people.

According to the history of the Song Dynasty he knew, it seems that the Liao Kingdom had not changed its rules, and it seems that it was a failure.

Sure enough, when the two soldiers mentioned the reform, they immediately felt bitter: "Oh, what method to change! You, the shopkeeper, don't know, that's not called reform, that's tossing!"

Chen Yuan was very interested: "What is called "Tumbling"? Can Jun Ye tell me in detail?"

Without Chen Yuan urging him to ask, the two soldiers' complaints were already at the mouth, and they felt uncomfortable if they didn't vomit it out: "The emperor said that we would change the pasture into fertile fields and let us learn to farm the Chinese. I just learned it. But after this kind of seed was sown, the emperor changed his mind and said that the pastures around Yanjing were not suitable for farming, so we could go to the distance to open up land."

Just after this, another said immediately: "This is not the end. We ran to the place where the Song Dynasty bordered the Song Dynasty and went to farm. There were enough people, the land was blooming, and the seeds were planted, and it seemed that they could be ripe. But in a blink of an eye, we were going to fight with the Song Dynasty! Just fight, and the emperor ordered another order, saying that there was not enough military rations, and we cut our fields all at once."

They seemed to be endless when they started the reform of Liaoxingzong. One just shut up, and the other said: "The emperor also said that we should rectify the tax and let us all pay less taxes. But the tax is constantly reduced. He reduced one while he lost one, and two appeared on the other!"

Chen Yuan smiled and now he could clearly understand the mood of Liao Xingzong. No matter how enlightened or wise Liao Xingzong was, he was still alone. Now his heart must be as contradictory as the court of the Liao Dynasty.

He kept saying that in front of Yelu Niegulu's house, the mansion of Yelu Zongyuan, the king of the North Court of Liao Kingdom, is now the mansion of Yelu Zongyuan.

Yelu Niegulu is quite good enough. Although Chen Yuan’s identity is just a businessman, when Yelu Niegulu arranged a seat, he placed Chen Yuan among his group of friends. In addition, Chen Yuan himself is a social person, so he never felt embarrassed.

Of course, Hu Jing could not attend the table. In the Song Dynasty, women rarely appeared in the occasions of meals and invitations. The weather in the Liao Kingdom was more evacuated than in the Song Dynasty, but ordinary women could not sit in the seats with men.

Although women are not allowed to attend the table, women are indispensable for the topics of conversation during the table, especially when they drink too much.

Both Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan were relatively young. From their mouths, Chen Yuan heard two news. The first news was about the issue of the Liao Kingdom's military moves due to the sudden increase in power.

This issue was very controversial in Liao***. The young generals of the Liao Kingdom at the table were divided into two obvious camps. One camp believed that the Dangxiang people were newborn calfs and had nothing to be afraid of. Now they should unite with the Dangxiang people and kill the Song Dynasty first.

Another group of people have completely different views. They believe that the Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly and the Yang family was killed and injured, and there were no good generals. The Dangxiang people were in full swing and Li Yuanhao must not be able to develop. So now we should fight the Dangxiang people first.

No matter which faction it is, there is a surprising agreement on the issue of the second news. These young Liao warriors unanimously agreed that Liao Xingzong asked the princess to marry Li Yuanhao, which was really an insult to them.

Someone even said after drinking too much that it was wise for the Dangxiang people to come to propose marriage this time, but Li Yuanhao did not come in person. If Li Yuanhao came, he would definitely not let him walk out of Yanjing City alive.

There are only some useful information. The rest of the words are what these guys said after drinking too much, and they cannot be treated as true.
