My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

The location of Dadingfu is probably in modern Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. At this time, the climate here is mild and the water and grass are abundant, which is extremely suitable for farming and grazing.Dadingfu has not been built for a few years, and the roads and houses are still very new. The overall design has a bold and unconstrained beauty that is different from that of the Song Dynasty.

It was Zhang Jian, king of Han, who received the envoys from the Liao Dynasty.Speaking of this person, he can be regarded as a legend.Although the Zhang family is Han Chinese, they have been officials in the Liao Kingdom for generations. Zhang Jian is the No. 1 Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom's imperial examination examination.

Han Qi didn't take any chances because the other party was Han, because he knew that if he wanted to be reused in a foreign country, he had to be more decisive in dealing with his own people than others. He heard that Zhang Jian proposed the increase of the old coins.

When the two met, they exchanged words first, and then the Liao Mission was arranged to enter the embassy.

Unlike ordinary He Zhengdan envoys, Ye An and the others came to Liao this time to bargain, and the Liao Kingdom naturally did not treat them well.If you want to go shopping, you have to apply to the higher authorities. People in the Song Dynasty are very high-spirited, and they all take it with them in the embassy when they see this.

After being left in the air for a few days, finally, the monarch of the Liao Kingdom planned to host a banquet.

Xingzong Yeluzong is a real man with ordinary abilities, but his ambition is not small at all.Fortunately, he liked Sinology since he was a child, and he was kind to Song envoys.

After the banquet begins, enjoy drinking and singing as usual.Ye An was sitting in the back row, absent-minded, when suddenly a shadow fell over his head.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came, I would have picked you up if I had known so." Ye An looked up, and found a heroic young man from the Mediterranean standing in front of him, his forehead shining brightly under the candlelight.

Good, so dazzling!Ye An was dazed by the flash, and for a moment forgot who this person was.

The young man originally saw the beauty's eyes burning, but when he saw that she didn't respond for a long time, anger gradually appeared on his face: "I am Yelv Baoxin slave! I met you in Bianliang before!"

It was only at this point that Ye An realized that this man was the second prince of the Liao Kingdom.I haven't seen him for two years, and he seems to have grown a lot taller.Ye An looked at the other party with a bit of a sour look. He had stopped growing since last year, so now he dislikes all tall people.

Yelu Baoxinnu looked at the other party as white as beautiful jade, his eyes as spring water, he couldn't help being a little fascinated, and blurted out what he thought in his heart: "Brother An, you are still so beautiful, I..."

"The song and dance is coming to an end, it's better for the second prince to return to his throne as soon as possible."

Before Yelv Baoxinnu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Shi who was sitting near Ye An, who was also a rare handsome man.But for some reason, as soon as he saw him, Bao Xinnu felt a faint feeling of displeasure in his heart...

"What does it have to do with you when I reminisce about old times with An Geer? If I don't leave, what else can you do to me?" Yelv Baoxinnu said provocatively.

...How could he do anything to you.Ye An meditated in his heart, thinking that in the Song and Liao cuju competition, if not for himself, the life of the second prince of the Liao Kingdom would have been in the hands of the teacher.

Pan Yuanqing just stood there with a calm expression and did nothing.After a few breaths, Baoxinnu broke out in cold sweat on his back.He looked like a large beast, he bent his hands and couldn't help supporting the saber at his waist, every hair on his body was screaming, this man in front of him is very dangerous!

Among them, only Ye An didn't know why, and looked at the guarded Bao Xinnu with a confused face.At the same time, the singing and dancing ended, and this scene was noticed by everyone almost immediately.All the sons and daughters of Liao Xingzong were descended from Empress Xiao Tali, only Bao Xinnu was born to a palace official because he drank too much, so many people disliked her.

The third prince, Yelu and Luwo, were the first to complain: "I said why I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, so I went to meet Song Shi secretly."

The face of Xingzong who was sitting above changed. The matter of "private meetings with other courts" can be big or small. Now that the two countries are negotiating, this situation has to make people think about it.

"Hey, I was going to look for Mr. Ye Xiaolang too, but I didn't expect that Xiaoer would take the first step." Before Baoxinnu could speak, a young man sitting at the lower left of Emperor Liao smiled and said, this man is handsome, It was Yelu Chongyuan, the young emperor of Xingzong, Generalissimo of the Liao Kingdom.

"Oh? Isn't there something special about this little gentleman?" Xingzong asked curiously after his attention was diverted.

"I don't know, Brother Ye, Mr. Ye Xiaolang is a well-known Confucian merchant in Bianliang City. The rouge gouache that is very popular in the palace recently, as well as the loose tea and white sugar passed down, are all from him."

Xingzong was surprised and said: "Sure enough, a hero is born as a boy. Those things you manage are very popular in Dading recently."

Ye An raised his hand in embarrassment to salute, he didn't expect that the protagonist of the banquet would become himself.

Then Xingzong said: "But the word 'Confucian merchant' is interesting. If you dare to call it a Confucian merchant, it means that your knowledge must be very good. How about this? My eldest son admired Sinology since he was a child, and his poetry is also one of the best in Liao. You guys will compete in the next game, and this banquet will be the theme."

Ye An: "..."

Unlike him who was quite speechless, the eldest son of the Liao King jumped out enthusiastically, and after thinking for a while, he said intoxicated: "The king's banquet was drunk with fragrant flowers, and he called the royal group to praise him.

Also took advantage of the early opening to reward all people, and Xuan You accompanied Yue Mingmiao again. "

"Good!" Liao people waved their hands in praise regardless of whether they understood or not.Seeing this, Ye An also breathed a sigh of relief, and wrote a doggerel.

Xingzong went up to taste it carefully, and said with emotion: "We are no different, you and my son are called 'Crouching Dragon and Phoenix', and the literary talent of the Song Dynasty really lives up to its reputation!"

Ye An was also not sure what he was talking about. He only knew that when his poem was recited, the Song Mission felt ashamed, and Master Han Qi Han's gaze seemed to be able to eat people.

What confuses him the most is that he is being praised. Yelu Zhongyuan, Generalissimo of the Liao Army, looks extremely proud and even gives him a thumbs up.

Ye An: "..." Damn crazy!

.........

"Look at you! What are you writing! I have been in the Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and I have never had a time when I can compose poems on par with the Liao people! How did Wang Anshi teach you!" The faces of several ministers of the Liao regiment turned red with anger , shouted in a gaffe.

Ye An lowered his head guiltily, he didn't expect that he would be asked to write poems.

"That's all." Han Qi took a sip of tea, "Don't forget what we are here for. It's not better than someone else's poetry."

Then he frowned suspiciously and said, "But why did Yelu Zhongyuan speak for you?" He himself knew that Ye An had saved the life of Prince Liao Er, so he had this consideration in bringing him here, wondering if he could add something to the negotiation Chips, but Yelu Chongyuan was indeed unexpected.

"I don't know either." Ye An was at a loss, he had never even heard of this person.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingjing popularized the Liao State Army Marshal for her popular science.

This starts with Xingzong's origin. Liao Xingzong's biological mother had a low status and was raised by the former queen since childhood.Due to his young age, the succession was in the hands of his biological mother, Xiao Lujin.

Xiao Yujin was very ambitious, and once wanted to abolish Liao Xingzong and make his youngest son Yelu Chongyuan the emperor, but Yelu Chongyuan didn't appreciate it, so he secretly told Xingzong about it.So Xingzong preemptively launched a mutiny and imprisoned his mother in the temple, and he has been in power ever since.

For the younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, Xingzong was very grateful and trusted him. He not only guaranteed that the throne would be passed on to him after his death, but also rewarded him greatly.

"Oh! That's right!" Xiao Jingjing suddenly said: "The Marshal's original spouse died long ago, and I heard that the second wife is a Han. Maybe it's because of this that he has a good impression of us."

"Yelu Chongyuan can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people in the Liao Kingdom. If he helps to say a few words this time, it will definitely be very beneficial to the negotiation." Han Qi looked at Ye An thoughtfully.

Ye Anxin nodded understandingly and said, "I'll visit his house tomorrow."

Nodding in satisfaction, Han Qi drank up the tea.He knew that it would definitely be useful to bring this child.
