Chapter 670
If this was not changed because of my arrival, it should have been exposed by everyone later, because the poem was eventually still under Ouyang Xiu's name.
What would Wen Yanbo react when he knew it? The Song Dynasty was not modern. The scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty valued their wives very much, but they were often very casual about their concubines. Chen Yuan knew that later Xiao Susu often gave his concubines to others to show that he had a good relationship with others. I think even if Wen Yanbo knew about this, he would not care too much.
Even if you care, you can't show it too much, because if he had something happened to Ouyang Xiu because of a concubine, others would say that he was not romantic enough.
The other person's affairs were discussed at his own dining table, just to talk about them as a topic. After accompanying his family to have a meal peacefully, Chen Yuan took Yelu Lu Lu Ling and Yelu Nianchen to see Yelu Hongji together.
Zhao Yi told Yelu Luling that Renzong did not take Yelu Hongji, and that he was not even locked up in a prison. Just next to the Song army camp in the west of the city, Renzong specially prepared a house for Yelu Hongji.
Apart from being unable to go out and contact others, he would have whatever he wanted. When Yelu Luling saw his younger brother, he actually found that Yelu Hongji had gained a lot of weight during this period.
Yelu Hongji was also surprised to see the three of them appear.
His mo-like appearance was obviously very different from what Xiao Nianchen remembered. When Yelu Nianchen met his eyes, he actually felt a little afraid.
"Nian Chen" Yelu Hongji put down the teapot in his hand, jumped up from the chair, ran over and hugged Yelu Nianchen, hoping to throw him high like he did when he was a child, but now Yelu Nianchen is nine years old, and Yelu Hongji obviously can't throw him away again.
However, the familiar action still evoked the smile on Yelu Nianchen's face, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncle."
Yelu Hongji hugged him in his arms and kissed him hard on the face with his slutty mouth. Xiao Nianchen was obviously hurting and screamed loudly. Yelu Hongji laughed and put him on the ground.
Yelu Luling also laughed. Since the war between the Song and Liao dynasties started, she has been suffering. On one side is her husband, and on the other side are her parents and brothers. When the two sides are fighting on the battlefield, Yelu Luling doesn't know what she can do.
She knew she shouldn't do anything, but that worry and concern made her worry both worried whether she heard good or bad news from the front line.
Now that she saw that Yelu Hongji was really not hurt, she let go of her hanging heart.
"Hongji, how are you living here?" She tried to calm her tone so that Yelu Hongji would not feel the sadness, but at this time she began to worry about Yelu Hongji's future fate, so how could the sadness be controlled?
Yelu Hongji acted like a man with a smile on his face: "I have been very comfortable here. I have been so tired over the years. It's rare to take a break. Look, my belly is obviously getting up."
The smile on his face must have been pretended. No one could persuade him at this time. He was reduced from a king of a country to a prisoner under the ranks. The pain in it can be imagined.
He will bear this pain slowly by himself, and Chen Yuan cannot help him.
"Hongji, I have already told Wansui that from tomorrow, the princess can see you at any time. If you have anything to do, please tell the princess."
Yelu Hongji looked at Chen Yuan, and his eyes were very complicated: "What? Have you already won? Yanyun's Thirteen Prefectures are all yours now?"
His two questions were all about the situation of the war. Although Renzong did not have him, he cut off all the connection between Yelu Hongji and the outside world, so Yelu Hongji didn't know how far the war had been fought. However, now the Song Dynasty was willing to let him meet people, which means that the development of things made the Song Dynasty feel that the Liao Kingdom was powerless to reverse.
"Well, not only Yanyun's Thirteen Prefectures, but also Zhongjing."
Yelu Hongji's face suddenly turned pale. He was already ready to accept the worst result, but when this result was told by Chen Yuan, the pain in his heart almost made him unable to control himself and he had some urge to burst out.
After a while, Yelu Hongji asked, "How is the Queen Mother now?"
Chen Yuan patted Yelu Nianchen's head: "Let's go inside the house and talk."
Chen Yuan talked about the current situation in Liao Kingdom to Yelu Hongji, without any concealment. Because Chen Yuan felt that hiding them now was meaningless.
When he heard that Xiao Tali was in a desperate situation, the expression on Yelu Luling's face seemed to be hit hard, and Yelu Hongji's hand was even more trembling.
"My husband, please help your mother." Yelu Luling grabbed Chen Yuan's sleeve with his hands.
Chen Yuan gently patted the back of her hand: "I came back this time for this matter. The Song Dynasty does not have the ability to enter Shangjing directly now, so we want to try whether you can rescue your mother from Shangjing. My people are already choosing those good players, but this time the matter is very big. I can't guarantee whether it can succeed."
Yelu Hongji looked at Chen Yuan with his eyes: "You are not sure?"
"It should be said that you are not sure. Yelu Niegulu, you know that it is a difficult corner. He will definitely not relax his care of the Queen Mother. It is not easy to rescue someone secretly."
Yelu Hongji took out a yù card from his arms and handed it to Chen Yuan: "There are people in my place in the capital, you can try to find them."
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment. Yelu Hongji was an emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Even if he only did it for less than a year, it was normal to have a few confidants in the Liao Kingdom.
“Is it reliable?”
Yelu Hongji smiled bitterly: "If I were still the emperor, they would naturally be reliable. Now, I will give you a list and you can ask them to try it."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will choose the most suitable person for this matter. After rescuing the Queen Mother, we will support the Queen Mother to rebuild the Liao Kingdom and compete with Yelu Niegulu. At that time, Hong Ji might be able to go back."
Yelu Hongji sighed: "To be honest, I don't know if I should be happy."
Once Xiao Talis was rescued and another Liao Kingdom was established, the Khitan would be over. Yelu Hongji knew very well. He knew even more that if they did not agree to this condition now, Xiao Talis would lose any value in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty would never take the risk of saving an NV man who had no help to them at all.
Chen Yuan patted his shoulder and said nothing more.
Next is to say some common words. Yelu Hongji asked Yelu Luling and Yelu Nianchen about their current current situation, while Yelu Luling reminded some of the long-winded words that belong to NV people.
At this time, Bai yù Tang was outside holding the imperial edict given to him by Renzong and put it on the wine table: "See? This is the instructions made by the emperor himself. I can mobilize all the detailed works of the Song Dynasty in Shangjing and the strength of the army at will, and can also represent the emperor and negotiate with the ministers of the Liao Kingdom who are interested in contact with us. If you see clearly, you represent the emperor."
Jiang Ping picked up the imperial edict with envy and looked at it, with a flattering smile on his face: "Old Wu, it's not bad, you are the best now. This time you have given us the five rats on Shenkong Island."
The Song army in Shangjing had their own subordinates, and they would cooperate with this action, but if Baiyong wanted to mobilize them, it depends on whether they were willing to express their identity in front of Baiyong. As for the army, there was no Song army near Shangjing.
There are also ministers who intend to contact the Song Dynasty, not only Baiyù Hall, but also anyone with an official identity, who can even get an official identity can talk to the other party on behalf of the Song Dynasty emperor.
In addition to saying this imperial edict is better, the most important thing is to tell Baiyùtang what to do.
However, in the eyes of those who are like the world, the emperor can say a few nice words to them, which is enough to make their face shine. Lu Fang glared at Bai yùtang fiercely: "Lao Wu, can you show off such an important thing with you? If you don't know the importance of it, put it away quickly."
Bai yù Tang still listened to Lu Fang's words very much and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, brother, don't you see that the house is full of your own brothers? There are no outsiders, don't worry, I will never do this when there are outsiders."
Lu Fang was actually very happy, but he still looked very calm and said, "We must do this matter well. This is the emperor's trust in us. But just for our brothers, I'm afraid it won't work. I've sent someone to ask for help."
Bai yùtang was stunned for a moment: "Brother, we don't have that much time. The emperor asked us to leave tomorrow and we will definitely go to Shangjing in more than ten days. The matter of finding helpers is too cumbersome. Whether others can give us face or not is still a big deal. Even if we give it, we don't have time to wait for them here."
Lu Fang looked at Bai Yiù Tang: "Old Wu, do you know that although you have not been in the world in the past few years, your fame has become increasingly popular. Many friends in the world are proud to know you Bai Yiù Tang. In the past, people mentioned the Five Rats of the Sunkong Island, and they were talking about me. Now people talk about Lu Fang, by the way, Han Zhang, what did Liu Qing say last time?"
Han Zhang smiled and said, "Last time he told Master Zhikong that you are the eldest brother of Master Bai Wu."
Bai yù Tang was a little embarrassed, but the other four people were all smiling. Lu Fang said, "Did you hear it? Even I have to carry the title of "Bai yù Tang's eldest brother" to meet people. Many friends in the world have greeted me. They have long thought of finding them in the army or the court, saying that if they were sent to find them immediately, they would die. This family said something, let's tell them a little this time, so that we will not say that we are unrighteous and look down on them."
Bai Yutang raised his head: "Brother said that. Actually, I think it's a good idea, although this world is so happy, it's much more exciting than that on the battlefield."
Jiang Ping said: "Now the world is not happy anymore. You don't know what the fifth brother has. People are now living a comfortable life. Many of the bullies and húnhún from the past have switched to business. When we were chivalrous and righteous, we always said we wanted to kill all these bullies, but they really didn't have them anymore. Only then did we realize that it seems that we knights are useless."
