Xiao Feng knew that if he continued talking, he wouldn't get any benefits, but would be exposed in public, so he laughed and said: "Young bachelor, don't get angry, why should you be like this rough guy?"
In his heart, Yelu Dalin had no choice but to curl his lips and say: "I am a caring scholar, but I never thought that my good intentions would be treated like a donkey's liver and lungs."
Chen Ke smiled and said nothing, just picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I understand."
"The bachelor has friendship with me, the Emperor and Empress of Liao. Now that I have a new prince, why don't you write a congratulatory poem for me to take home with you? I think my Empress will be happy." Xiao Feng changed the subject and added
Use the prince's affairs to provoke the Song Dynasty emperor.
"Now that we have five princes in the Song Dynasty, we also asked King Xiao to write congratulatory poems... five of them." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"This..." Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I am very talented and knowledgeable, so it's better not to show my shame."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, would also like to ask for instructions from me." Chen Ke turned to the official and said.
"Haha, that's right." Zhao Zhen naturally wouldn't stop him, and said to himself: "This Chen Ke is indeed a wonderful man. Should we transfer him to deal with the Liao people?" He suddenly felt more dignified and said: "Ai Qing, then
Compose a poem to congratulate the emperor of the Northern Dynasty."
This naturally did not bother Chen Ke. He stood up to accept the order and composed a long and gorgeous poem "Congratulations to the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty on the Joy of Playing Zhang" with allusions in every sentence. He wrote it impromptu and naturally won a round of applause.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the banquet was given, the ministers thanked each other and left the palace. Everyone went to the banquet and enjoyed the New Year.
This Spring Festival, Chen Ke is extremely busy. First of all, he has two in-laws. Secondly, one of the in-laws has a lot of relatives. In addition, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, Wang Gui and other seniors need to move around, and there are still some who cannot be pushed away.
The party... was mainly the honorable banquet that Li Weixian dragged him to in order to persuade the general.
It is said that Li Weixian's attitude has changed greatly since he was repaired by Wang Gonggong. He made up his mind that he would never let himself become the scapegoat of Jiang Men or Chen Ke, so he would involve Chen Ke in every gathering. If the other party could persuade Jiang Men, it would be natural.
Yes, it's not your responsibility to say if you don't agree.
Chen Ke had a positive attitude towards Li Weixian's transformation, so he naturally didn't care about his petty thoughts. From the first to the tenth day of the lunar month, he had almost no free day.
When he got up early that morning, Chen Ke was discussing with the two ladies who would accompany him to the Wang family for a banquet later.
This reflects the advantages of two wives. Yue'e and Xiaomei can take turns to accompany him to socialize, and one of them can always take a break. Moreover, both of them have their own merits. When Yue'e came out, she was full of energy. Those so-called nobles, from then on
From big to small, no one dares to be presumptuous. Chen Ke can eat and leave easily. When the younger sister appears, she will naturally be ridiculed by others, but she always has the ability to use her elegance and wisdom to make everyone happy in the fastest time.
Everyone feels deeply ashamed. At this time, the conversation naturally becomes more in-depth.
Therefore, when Chen Ke had someone he needed to persuade, he would bring his younger sister with him. If it was just for ordinary entertainment, he would send out Yue'e. The ease with which he chose was the envy of the officials in Bianjing City.
While the three of them were chatting and joking, Arou, who was in charge of the inner house, came in to report: "I said earlier that a Khitan man came to visit."
"Oh?" Chen Ke asked curiously: "Khitan?"
Arou presented a unique leather-bound book of famous books.
"Xiao Feng..." Chen Ke couldn't help but ponder. Although the two countries are known as friendly countries, they cannot change the nature of hostility. Therefore, apart from official business, there is no personal relationship between the ministers. Thinking of this, he opened the famous thorn and took a look.
Smiling, he handed it to his younger sister and said, "I'm actually here to give you a congratulatory poem on behalf of Empress Xiao."
"Are there any officials from this dynasty accompanying you?" the younger sister asked.
"No." Arou's ability to become the housekeeper is inseparable from her meticulous character and her wholehearted consideration for her master.
"How is this possible?" Chen Ke said in disbelief, but thinking about Xiao Feng going out so early, wasn't it just to get rid of his companions?
"If you don't see me, you'll be too courageous." Yue'e said quickly, "If you see me, you'll be gossiping." She laughed first as she said that:
"It's better to leave the things behind and ask people to take them back."
"The purpose of coming in so early is to block me at home," Chen Ke said with a bitter smile: "And the reason is so good. If I don't see you, it will be disrespectful to the Queen of Liao. If they file a lawsuit, I will eat it no matter what."
Hanging."
"It seems that he is deliberately trying to meet the third brother." The younger sister said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to meet. Why not follow the example of the ancients and have a 'middle door wide open'."
"That's right," Chen Ke nodded and said, "Everyone else is coming to the door. If I hide away, won't I fall into the Chen family's trap?" He said loudly: "Open the middle door and meet the guests in the front hall!"
Looking at Chen Ke's back as he left angrily, Liu Yue'e asked curiously: "What kind of family style does our Chen family have?"
The younger sister shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just a very strong wind..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he arrived at the front yard, Chen Ke saw four large carriages driving in. A group of strong Khitan soldiers were carrying gifts from the carriages into the hall, loading one load after another, filling the huge hall.
Chen Ke did not go out to greet him, because that would be impeached as "disgraceful", but if he sat in the hall and did not go out, he would be suspected of being arrogant... In the Song Dynasty, a country that had no confidence in facing the Liao people, and the Liao Dynasty
The contact between high-ranking officials is really the most troublesome thing, and it’s no wonder that everyone avoids it.
Chen Ke lowered his steps to greet him, cupped his hands and said: "Your envoy is here, but I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me for my sin."
"Bachelor's words, Xiao Wang is already satisfied if he can enter this door." Xiao Feng was dressed in Han clothes from head to toe, with a precious jade belt wrapped around his waist. He looked no different from the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty, except that his beard was a bit thicker and he was thicker.
A little more.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Please go inside to talk." Chen Ke smiled noncommittally.
The two entered the front hall and sat down separately for the honored guests. When the maid served tea, Xiao Feng looked around and saw that the main door and the door of the sedan hall were both wide open. He could clearly see the outside. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Unexpectedly, Bachelor."
So careful.”
"The melon fields do not accept shoes, and the plums do not trim their crowns. This is the way of a gentleman to cherish his body." Chen Ke said lightly: "Not only that, even the gifts sent by the bachelors, please make a gift list, so that the lower officials can report them to you.
.”
"This is given to you by the Queen." Xiao Feng gave Chen Ke a meaningful look and said, "Bachelor, don't let the Queen down."
"What is the identity of the prince?" Chen Ke said coldly: "The national envoy or the representative of Empress Xiao?"
"Is it convenient to talk here?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.
"I have nothing to say to others." Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
Xiao Feng understood it and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang has nothing to worry about, as long as the bachelor is not afraid."
Chen Ke wondered in his mind whether he was coming to inform me that he was going to be a father? But then he thought that it was absolutely impossible, so he remained calm and listened to what he said.
Seeing Chen Ke's business-like expression, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh: "I remember how elegant the bachelor was when he was in Daliao. Why did he become so cautious when he returned to Bianjing?" He said with a half-serious smile:
"Why don't you give up your official position in the Southern Dynasty and become prime minister in our Northern Dynasty? Wouldn't it be nice?"
Chen Ke frowned when he heard this and said, "Is it just to say this that the prince has gone to great lengths to come here?"
"Of course not..." Xiao Feng naturally knew that it was impossible to make Chen Ke rebel. But it would be a pleasure to tease Chen Ke, who had made him suffer repeatedly in the past. Of course, going too far would not be enough, so he immediately said seriously: "Actually, I
I was entrusted by the queen to ask the bachelor for advice."
Chen Ke felt inexplicable disappointment in his heart and said calmly: "There are so many talented people in the Liao Kingdom, but Empress Xiao didn't ask them, but came to ask me?"
"Because none of them can be trusted." Xiao Feng said bluntly: "The bachelor has been to the altar, and he must know the situation in Daliao very well. Nowadays, the whole Daliao, especially in front of the emperor, is full of emperors.
Uncle Tai's people, such as my deputy envoy, I came to visit so early just to get rid of him."
Chen Ke was silent as he continued: "It goes without saying that the military and political affairs of Daliao are now completely controlled by Chongyuan and his son, while His Majesty the Emperor himself spends all his time and energy hunting in the deep mountains and old forests. And Chongyuan
While the father and son encouraged the emperor to hunt, they also took the opportunity to act recklessly. If something went wrong, they claimed that the emperor was ignorant and it was all your majesty's responsibility." As he said this, he said heartbrokenly: "Everyone knows about his wolfish ambitions, but your majesty is the only one who doesn't know!"
"The only one who can check and balance this father and son now is my Majesty the Queen." Xiao Feng said.
Chen Ke nodded. He knew that the Khitans were actually the marriage between the Yelu family and the Xiao family. The Xiao family was a descendant and had its own tribe, namely Oruduo, who was also the mother of the future emperor. Based on these two points, the Xiao family had always been
They are both the most powerful women in the world, and can even rival the emperor.
But no matter how good the power is, it depends on whose hands it is in. If it is in the hands of Xiao Yanyan, it will definitely destroy the emperor. But in the hands of a beauty like Xiao Guanyin who was born in the wrong child, it is inevitable that Wang Xiaoer will celebrate the New Year - a
Every year is worse than the last.
However, her people are not idiots. They know very well that once Yelu Chongyuan succeeds in usurping the throne, Empress Xiao and her close relatives will all die. But even if Yelu Chongyuan becomes the emperor, the descendants will still be the Xiao family.
In addition, Xiao Guanyin was not from a wealthy family in the Xiao family, so many clan members secretly changed families and began to flatter Zhongyuan's wife.
The Queen's close relatives like Xiao Feng were naturally in panic, with nothing to do and no one to turn to, so they went to the doctor in a hurry, thinking of the all-powerful Scholar Chen.
"You're not afraid of being tricked to death by me..." Chen Ke felt that there was nothing more ridiculous in the world than this.
"I think that an emperor as ambitious as Chongyuan and his son," Xiao Feng said calmly, "for your country, he must not be as good as the current Lord of Liao, right?"
"This is enough to kill you." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"It can be seen that Xiao Wang is sincere in asking for advice." Xiao Feng looked at him and said.

I finally have a full day to work tomorrow. I don’t know if the child is not sick, but when he gets sick, the whole family is exhausted physically and mentally... No wonder everyone told me that I must take good care of the baby.
