Xia Song thought he was going to the Imperial City Division to mobilize reinforcements, but Chen Lin didn't think so. He felt that Ye Anxun must be pulling him into trouble!
But out of curiosity and trust in Ye An, he still appeared near Honglu Temple, but firmly told Xia Song that he could not enter Honglu Temple. After all, his identity was very sensitive.
As the intelligence chief of the Imperial City Division, all forces in Tokyo will keep an eye on him. The seemingly peaceful Tokyo is actually already filled with all kinds of monsters and monsters. Underneath the calm, the clouds are treacherous.
Ye An understood Chen Lin's concerns and didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Xia Song to entertain the delegation. Although Xia Song had a higher official position than Ye An, Ye An was in charge of this negotiation and the matter had been decided by him.
With things like this, Xia Song had no choice but to do as he was told.
Before leaving, he deliberately grabbed Ye An and told him: "Marquis Ye, the Liao people must have had the confidence to double their annual coins, otherwise they wouldn't be so indulgent!"
It seemed that Xia Song was really panicked, otherwise he would not have said such words. On the contrary, Ye An did not think so. In his opinion, Han Chongan was bluffing.
Although he did not know the current situation of the Liao Dynasty, he was still familiar with the history of the Liao Dynasty. The situation of the Liao Dynasty at this time was exactly the same as that of the Song Dynasty, or even more complicated.
In a secluded foot shop, Chen Lin, who was wearing extremely popular clothes, was sitting in the corner. Everyone would ignore him as an old man, but who knew that he was the famous Imperial City Sidu Zhi?
The appearance of Ye An, a young man, was a bit eye-catching, especially the scarlet uniform he wore. It scared Xiao Si in the shop that he was dazzled, and after rubbing it vigorously, he sang loudly: "Little noble man"
What are you going to eat in the shop?"
Ye An waved his hand, and Xiao Si left wisely. He also knew that such an official would look down on such a small shop, so he was ready to argue with the shopkeeper, but he was stunned by the shopkeeper's slap and pointed at Zhu.
The red figure whispered: "We are closed today! Remember, our house is not open at all today!"
Xiaosi understood and hurriedly went to the door to put the plate on the plate. Who would care about a small shop like this? There weren't even any diners...
"A certain family came here after putting down the Imperial City Division's affairs. Don't regret it if there are no urgent matters."
Chen Lin was still so cold, huddled in the corner like a shadow, but Ye An didn't care, sitting opposite him and said: "I need to know who Han Chongan is!"
"Han Derang's nephew, Situ of the South Courtyard of the Liao Dynasty! He has won the trust of the Queen of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Bodhisattva. Han Derang is..."
"For the former regent of the Liao Dynasty, trust is nonsense. He was just a tool used by Xiao Yanyan. He was used to control the Liao Dynasty and frighten Xiao Xiao who was secretly spying on the country. After all, she was the one who saved him from Liao Jingzong.
Handerang!"
The stone-like Chen Lin suddenly moved, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye An and said: "You actually know the secrets of each?"
Ye An smiled, lifted his belt and said, "That's natural. When I was in the palace, I learned a lot about the old affairs of the Liao Dynasty. Don't forget that bachelor's degree students can enter and leave Chongwen Academy."
"Well, Han Derang didn't have the ability to lead the army. He relied on his father, Han Zhigu Yin'en, to be awarded the title. It was also a method used by Liao Jingzong to win over Han officials. Later, he fought against our Song army and was often defeated.
When he returned, Jingzong was angry and charged him with five crimes: disobeying the masses and going deep into the country, which is the first crime; marching in an unorganized manner, the second crime; abandoning the army and running away as rats, the third crime; waiting for a missed opportunity, the fourth crime; abandoning flags and drums, the fifth crime! Do you think such a person can do this?
Leading troops to fight?"
Ye An suddenly interrupted Chen Lin: "Xiao Yanyan really has an affair with Han Derang?!"
"Nonsense! One is the empress of the Liao Dynasty, the mother of the world, and the other is the minister of Jingzong Tuogu. How can there be an affair?! The rumors from outside are not credible. If you really believe it, you will be the stupidest fool!"
Ye An scratched his head in embarrassment. There were many such people in later generations. Many scandals in history were so miraculous that even some literati and historians recorded them as true. There is no reason why future generations would not believe them!
But Chen Lin soon changed the subject: "Although there is no personal relationship, there are always people who will slander her. Back then, Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang had an old relationship, and they jointly assisted the Liao Shengzong, so it is not surprising that there will be scandals."
Ye An nodded in understanding: "So the Han family is very powerful in the Liao Dynasty?"
"More than just being powerful? Why doesn't Handerang have a son? Will this all-powerful regent in the Liao Dynasty not have a woman? Will he have no heirs? Is it because he can't give birth to him or someone prevents him from giving birth? Huh?"
What the hell………………
Looking at Chen Lin's thoughtful eyes, Ye An knew that things might be very dark and terrifying. When power and conspiracy are intertwined, anything is possible.
Maybe Xiao Yanyan deliberately created the scandal, and then used the scandal to prevent Handerang from having children. Others and even future generations would tell her the lie!
Ye An took a breath and nodded slightly: "I know, it seems that the Liao Dynasty's defense against Han officials is not weaker than that against other royal families or tribes!"
Tuk-tuk-tuk…………
Chen Lin tapped her knuckles on the table, slowly stood up and said: "The Han family was born in Yutian in the Liao Dynasty. His ancestor Han Zhigu was from Yutian in Jizhou. He was captured by the Khitans and sent to the Liao Kingdom as a slave. But when Han Derang his father Han Kuangsi,
, because he was able to conquer battles, he became a rare general in the Liao Kingdom. He was good at strategy, knowledgeable, and could be reused. In the early years of Shencan, he was awarded the title of Military Envoy of the Zhangwu Army and the Disposal Envoy of the Southeast Road. He was trusted and benefited.
Du, the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, presided over the ceremonials of all countries, pacified the Bohai Sea, served successively as the hero of the promotion of loyalty and alliance, the commander of the Military Military Festival, the founder of the three departments of Yitong, Shangshu Zuopushe and Zhongshu Ling."
This is only the credit of Handerang's father, and Ye An knows a lot about Handerang's deeds. In one sentence, he can sum up his great contribution to the country and his power in the government!
It can be seen that the Han family in the Liao Dynasty is not to be underestimated, and it will also become the object of Yelu Longxu's fear. It just so happens that the current Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu is basically terminally ill, and the crown prince Yelu Zong is really young, even older than
Zhao Zhen is still a few years younger, and everything has returned to a familiar scene.
As a last resort, Liao Shengzong, who was good at painting, had no choice but to take care of Jiangshan Sheji and the young prince, and once again used the Han family as the pillar of the country.
This is a very helpless and safest method. Why did the emperors of the Liao Dynasty always use the Han family as their assistants?
The reason is very simple. They are Hanchens. No matter how powerful and meritorious the Hanchens are, they cannot justifiably sit on the throne of Khitan! How many relatives of the emperor are eyeing that position. If they want to sit, it will not be the turn of the Han family, a Hanchen family.
sit!
At the same time, the Han family had no choice but to protect themselves under heavy pressure. To protect themselves, they had to contend with the clans of the Liao Dynasty...
I have to say that this method is so clever that even Ye An couldn't help but admire Yelu Longxu. Although this Khitan emperor was a foreigner, his research on the Han family was comprehensive. He not only made great achievements in cultural accomplishment, but also was knowledgeable.
We have arrived at the essence of the checks and balances of the Han Dynasty.
This is not simple, and it can be considered as falling into a historical "trap".
This is the case for foreigners. The more they learn Han culture and religious beliefs, they will unconsciously learn various methods of governing the country, but they will also sink into it, making themselves more and more like Han people, but they will never become Han people.
.
History proves that starting from the Liao Shengzong, the Liao Dynasty reached the peak of prosperity, that is, starting from the Liao Shengzong, the Liao Dynasty confirmed the curse of "the yang pole becomes yin, the peak is prosperous and then declines".
But now Ye An has grasped the top priority. The Liao Dynasty mission is not as monolithic as it seems. Han Chongan is Han Derang's nephew, and there are irreconcilable conflicts between the Han family and the clan in the struggle for power!
That’ll be easy!
Ye An bowed his hand to old Chen Lin and took a piece of silver leaf on the counter of the foot shop. This thing has no official seal and can be spent casually. Qin Mumu put it in his sleeve specially.
Old Chen Lin who was sitting on the seat chuckled and couldn't help but murmured to herself: "It seems that the saint has really chosen the right person!"
