Chen Yuan was very clear that Yelu Nianchen's affairs were just one example. The Song Dynasty now seemed to be a paradise in the surrounding countries. Some people from other ethnic groups chose to live here, such as the Khitans, Uighurs, Tubos, Goryeo, and Japanese. Even A San, who was thousands of miles away, have begun to do business in the Song Dynasty. Some of them are just passers-by, and many of them have chosen to settle in the Song Dynasty for a long time.

Because of the continuous victory of the war, the national sentiment of the Song Dynasty was extremely high, which also made the Song people have a sense of superiority in all fields. They subconsciously did not allow people from other ethnic groups to surpass themselves, especially in some areas that they believed to be traditional.

This situation must slowly change because other nations and other countries also have excellent sides. The Song people must learn to accept and absorb. The reason why the sea is vast is because it has a xiong style that can accommodate all rivers. If the Song Dynasty could not accommodate others, it would not be able to take the steps to conquer others.

In early March of the fourth year of Huangyou, Wen Yanbo came back.

Xia Shu asked him to come back first to help him with his fist, and secondly, it was also to give Wen Yanbo a chance to show off. But he was obviously late, just a few days later. The wind that seemed extremely fierce had subsided, and everything seemed to be back in the past. The people continued to work steadily in those workshops, the merchants continued to make money, and the scholars and officials were discussing what to do next in the Song Dynasty.

However, this does not mean that everyone will regard this as if it has not happened. On the contrary, whether this wind rises or calms down, it has caused a strong shock to the psychology of some people.

In their opinion, Chen Shimei's power must be limited. Yes, he has no official position now, but he has power. Chen Yuan can get Renzong, and all the first-rank officials in the court speak for him. He can drive the peddlers and pawns. He can raise his hand and stir up a huge wind, and a wave of his hand can calm the wind.

This made those who were already worried about Chen Yuan even more frightened.

Wen Yanbo really became back to report his work. His main task this trip became to deal with the questions raised by the Sans and others for help.

Wen Yanbo's Privy Councilor was quite competent. He had some understanding of the current situation of Zhu Luo Kingdom. At a glance, the three people appeared in the world who wanted to use the power of the fox to pretend to be powerful, or they wanted to use the power of the Song Dynasty to fight against the threat of the Seljuk Turks.

Wen Yanbo's attitude was against direct troops, because in his opinion, the battlefield between the Juluo Kingdom and the Seljuk Turks was too far from the Song Dynasty, and the difficulty and risk of direct troops were too great. It would be good to give some material assistance to the Sans, as long as they did not lose their promise.

But Chen Yuan put forward the opposite opinion, he wanted to send troops, and he suggested that the Song Dynasty should fight this war.

Chen Yuan believes that the reason for sending troops is also distance

Arabia is too far from the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty sent troops themselves, first of all, the hard-working troops may not be able to win. Secondly, the huā sale along the way is indeed a heavy burden.

But now that Ah San and others spoke, it would be much more convenient to send troops in the name of the alliance. Whether it was the Uighurs or Ah San, they were obliged to provide military bases for the Song Dynasty, and they had to bear some of the supplies.

The Song Dynasty could use this name to build a supply channel in the Uighurs. The Uighurs not only could not refuse, but they also had to provide sufficient convenience and provide some manpower. The completion of this channel could make the merchants of the Song Dynasty more convenient in the future, and at the same time strengthen the Song Dynasty's control over the Uighurs.

This opportunity is once a lifetime. If you lose this time, the Song Dynasty might have to pay a greater price to control the Middle East. In everyone's eyes, the Middle East is just a desert. In the Song Dynasty, as long as Chen Yuan knew the wealth hidden under that land.

He sent troops to reach the Middle East and to open the window to Europe. Chen Yuan would not do what Asans and others meant. After the war was won, he would teach those Asans what it means to ask God and send God to God.

However, the literati and officials in the court were very dissatisfied with running so far to fight. Sima Guang believed that such a hard-working expedition had no effect except for the hard-working people and the money. Especially now that the Liao Kingdom had not completely resolved it, the Song Dynasty should not intervene in a war that might fail again.

The last time the Han and Arabs went back to the Tang Dynasty, when tens of thousands of troops were destroyed on that land. This lesson made many people dare not agree with Chen Yuan's proposal to go there again.

Chen Yuan fought for this, and the atmosphere in the court was a little unpleasant. Chen Yuan's tough attitude made Sima Guang even more angry. In Sima Guang's view, no minister has ever been able to surpass Chen Yuan since the opening of the Song Dynasty.

After the scattered dynasty, Renzong asked Chen Yuan to see him alone, but Sima Guang went to Fan Chunyou to drink. Wine was a good thing, but it appropriately relieved the pressure he faced. Fan Chunyou's current political concept is similar to Sima Guang. The two of them share many common languages.

"Young Master Chunyou, have you seen what happened in the court this morning? Lord Wen Yanbo just came back and had not expressed his opinion on dealing with the issue of Zhuluo State. Then Chen Shimei couldn't wait to send troops to Zhuluo State with the expression, just like he was the Privy Councilor of the current dynasty."

Sima Guang's tone was very angry.

Strangely, Fan Zhongyan vigorously promoted the reforms of the Song Dynasty, but Fan Chunyou supported those old regulations. He felt that life was good like before. Now he always felt an inexplicable pressure to become an official, worried that his position would be taken away by others, and that his children would not have a way out in the future. How good was it before, everyone was harmonious.

Moreover, many of Chen Yuan's methods of doing things made Fan Chunyou reluctant to agree.

"Brother Sima, I still don't understand why Prime Minister Xia compromised with Chen Shimei? If the Prime Minister insisted, those who could not hold on to the business, as long as there were people in Bianjing, if they didn't do the business, someone would do it. What's there to be afraid of?"

Sima Guang sighed: "The Prime Minister is old, so you should know that he is now preparing to let Wen Yanbo take over his job. At this time, what he wants is stability, so there are some things he doesn't want to have too much trouble with Chen Shimei, and he can't think like you and me."

Fan Chunyou nodded: "My father is the same. He told me not to bother with this matter. But they don't understand Chen Shimei. Even if we don't bother with him, Chen Shimei will try their best to achieve his goal. I dare to bet with you that Zhao Shu's position as the crown prince will definitely not go smoothly. Now Chen Shimei will definitely make a big fuss in front of the emperor."

Sima Guang smiled bitterly: "Do you think Lingzun and the Prime Minister can't understand? They just have the attitude of counterattacking Zhao Shu, hoping to bring Zhao Shu to the spot, and then everyone will be harmonious."

Fan Chunyou's fingers gently circled the wine glass in front of him, staring at the wine inside the glass and said, "A kind of harmony? Humph, why did Chen Shimei help the Zhuluo Kingdom fight? I, the Song Dynasty, have to pay a lot of money after this war, only these merchants can get the advantage."

Sima Guang nodded: "I think so too, don't worry, as long as I'm still in the court, it's still early for him to do whatever he wants."

Fan Chunyou smiled: "That's natural, it's a long time to live the wise. This time, the promotion of Brother Sima as the supervisor is to give you enough power to supervise the officials of the court. I haven't congratulated Brother Sima yet. Come and let's have a drink."

Sima Guang took a sip and said, "By the way, I heard that Yan Chasan, the first person Chen Shimei met when she came back this time, was at Yuelai Inn. The two of them closed Mén and talked for a long time, but they didn't know what they were talking about."

Fan Chunyou asked, "What? Is Yan Chasan also related to this matter? This time Kaifeng Mansion's attitude was very neutral. I think Yan Chasan is still reliable."

Sima Guang looked at him: "It is because Yan Chasan has nothing to do with this matter that I wonder what Chen Shimei did when she first saw him?"

After hearing Sima Guang say this, Fan Chunyou suddenly felt that there might be some articles in the middle.

In the palace, Chen Yuan did not make any noise in front of Renzong, and they did not talk about the issue of Zhuluo Kingdom anymore. Chen Yuan and Renzong had a tacit understanding in this regard. Renzong asked Chen Yuan to let go, but Chen Yuan had to convince the ministers.

Chen Yuan knew that it would be impossible to convince the ministers with his own mouth. He had to build momentum. As long as it caused a situation where the Song Dynasty directly sent troops, the matter would be much simpler.

Renzong asked Chen Yuan to come over to tell Chen Yuan about Zhao Shu, that is, the family affairs between them.

"Shimei, I will discuss something with you. Do you think it's OK?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly clasped his fists: "Long live but please tell me, there is nothing that cannot be done here."

Renzong said: "Let Zhao Yi bring his children to the palace for a while. When the child is older, let him be in the palace."

This question really made Chen Yuan hesitate for a moment. It was a matter of both parties that they agreed to regard Zhao Shi as his grandson. But Chen Yuan's idea was to only let Zhao Shi have a title, would he really want to let him enter the palace?

Although this place is the peak of power, growing up here means that Zhao Shi will be taller than others in the future, but Chen Yuan knows that this place is not suitable for the growth of a child.

However, Renzong didn't know what Chen Yuan was worried about, for fear that he would go back on his word: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

What Chen Yuan was worried about was that Renzong was too doting on Zhao Shi. After hearing what he said, Chen Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but when he raised his head and saw the hot eyes in Renzong's eyes, Chen Yuan felt that this was an old man's expectation for his children.

Chen Yuan swallowed the words to his mouth again: "Long live and rest assured, I will let the princess come back and stay for a while after I go back."

Renzong put down his thoughts, and the smile on his face seemed even happier: "Then let me say that, when I go back, I ask the carriage to pick them up. By the way, you should also come and see Zhao Yi often. I will tell Gong Mén, so I will give you some convenience in the future."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Renzong's topic turned back: "By the way, Shimei, what are you going to do with the Liao Kingdom's problem? Xiao Tali has arrived now, how are you going to arrange for her?"

"Your Majesty, how to arrange Xiao Talis depends on her attitude. If she really wants to listen to us, that is the best. If she has any other ideas, we must use other methods."

Renzong nodded: "Well, you can do it,"
