Yelu Hongji quickly reached an agreement with Yang Huairen, as long as Yang Huairen could find out the murderer and the mastermind behind the poisoning, and could persuade the Song emperor to support Yelu Yanxi to inherit the throne of Liao in the future, Yelu Hongji was willing to crown Yang Huairen as the king of the south, and the fiefs were the southernmost states of the Liao State, Qizhou and Mozhou.

The meaning of this agreement is to give Yang Huairen, a Song man, a vassal king of the Liao State, and the fiefs are the southernmost two states of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

It sounds a little strange, a county prince of the Song Dynasty was named the vassal king of the Liao State by the emperor of the Liao State, and anyone who hears it will feel incredible.

Moreover, according to the actual territory and control scope of the Song and Liao countries at that time, although the Liao State occupied the sixteen states of Youyun in the Great Song Dynasty, the two southernmost states of Yanyun and the Quanzhou should actually be all under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Hejian Mansion at that time.

The south side of the river is mostly under the control of the Song Dynasty, and the north half is under the control of the Liao State, and there are only the boundaries of Guiyi and Beigou counties.

Therefore, Yelu Hongji nominally gave Yang Huairen a fief of two states, but in fact there were only two small counties, and it was made clear that it was a fief given to the king of the south, not a fief returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and there was a fundamental difference between the two.

Despite this, Yang Huairen was also very satisfied, as long as the two counties were under his control, he didn't care whether the territorial division on the map belonged to the Liao State or the Song Dynasty, and the actual control was the most important thing.

It is by no means an easy thing to regain the land of Yanyun, and it is really too difficult to return to the territory of the sixteen states at once, but if Yang Huairen starts in this way, it will be of great positive significance for the Great Song Dynasty to recover all the land of the sixteen states in the future.

For Yelu Hongji, as long as Yelu Yanxi can succeed to the throne smoothly, he will not be reluctant to give Yang Huairen two counties, and the situation of a strong Liao State and a weak Song Dynasty in the future will not change fundamentally in his heart.

A few years later, Yelu Yanxi stabilized his dominance, and it is definitely not difficult to regret and bring back the places of the two counties with Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen also knew this, but he was still very cautious to ask Yelu Hongji to give a written document to prove that he had just agreed to Yang Huairen's matter.

Yelu Hongji's current situation could not write a decree in person, so he could only use oral dictation, temporarily find the imperial doctor to write this holy decree, and promised Yang Huairen that as long as the real culprit of the poisoning was found, this decree would be promulgated and effective immediately.

Yang Huairen happily agreed, and General Suwei immediately allocated three hundred Suwei forbidden troops for Yang Huairen's envoy.

Walking out of the Golden Horde again, General Su Wei also followed him out and conveyed a holy decree to the civil and military officials of the Liao State, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had specially appointed Yang Huairen, the golden sword concubine, as a special envoy to solve the poisoning case.

During Yang Huairen's investigation of the case, he carried the imperial golden wolf head token, and when he saw the token, he saw His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of the officials, people, nobles and civilians of the Liao State, they must cooperate with Yang Huairen's investigation.

When they heard this will, the people were in an uproar.

It turned out that His Majesty summoned Yang Huairen, an outsider, to order him to solve the poisoning case, but as for why Yang Huairen was specially appointed as a special envoy, many people did not understand.

Maybe Shi Xiaozhong is more likely to figure it out from another angle, Yelu Hongji handed over such an important matter to Yang Huairen, first, it is his trust in him, and at the same time, it is also an expression of his trust in Yelu Bawotai and Princess Anguo, and second, it may be easier to find the real culprit only from the perspective of an outsider like Yang Huairen.

Yelu Yanxi couldn't care so much, and asked with concern, "Don Ma, how is the imperial grandfather's health?" ”

Yang Huairen looked at the people who came up with a concerned look, and felt funny in his heart, and it was not convenient for him to tell everyone the true situation of Yelu Hongji in the Golden Horde, so he had to say with a smile, "Your Majesty has woken up after some treatment by the imperial doctor, but after all, he has just been poisoned in his body, and he still needs a period of cultivation."

Therefore, it is inconvenient to receive you, but in a few days, Your Majesty's health will improve, and you will definitely be summoned one after another. ”

Everyone was happy when they heard this, but in Yang Huairen's eyes, at least half of them had happy expressions that were fake.

Yang Huairen can only sigh in his heart, it seems that being an emperor is really not a good errand, so many people are looking forward to your death, and many of them are your dearest relatives, it's really pitiful to think about, no wonder the emperors call themselves alone.

Shi Xiaozhong said to everyone, "Since Your Majesty is fine, you can rest assured." His Majesty has entrusted Master Ma to be responsible for solving the poisoning case, so we should cooperate well and strive to find out the real culprit as soon as possible and bring him to justice. ”

Yang Huairen smiled and nodded, feeling that Shi Xiaozhong was really oily, assassinating the emperor and arresting him to bring him to justice, he was really good at talking, and even the rebels could not be offended, no wonder a Han man has been a Liao official for decades, and his popularity is still so good.

Yelu Bawotai asked, "Then how can the case be investigated in the current situation?" ”

He said and looked at the six lambs that were safe and sound, Yang Huairen also knew that there were many people who were suspicious at present, but there were few actual evidence, and the clues were very confusing, and he didn't even know what kind of poison Yelu Hongji had been poisoned and how he ate the poison into his stomach.

I had suspected that Yelu Hongji was deliberately acting and pretending to be poisoned to lure the mastermind behind the scenes to appear, but now it was not successful, and Yelu Hongji was also tricked, and things became more complicated.

Shi Xiaozhong originally thought the same way, but he had already captured something from Yang Huairen's words just now, Yang Huairen had a look of joy on his face, but it was only revealed when he said that His Majesty ordered him to solve the case.

And at the moment when he said that His Majesty was poisoned, it didn't seem like he was helping His Majesty cover it up, so Shi Xiaozhong also overturned his inference, and became more and more convinced that Yelu Hongji was really poisoned.

The ghost sister stood outside the circle for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to squeeze in, leaning on Yang Huairen and said, "Since Your Majesty has ordered you to investigate the case as a special envoy, don't live up to Your Majesty's trust and entrustment, no matter what help you need, just open your mouth, my father and I will definitely stand behind you and support you." ”

Yang Huairen listened to this, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Sister Ghost's words were not for him, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Sabi.

Xiao Sabi was very worried after hearing that Yelu Hongji was fine, but he tried his best not to show it, and at this time he didn't forget to show himself, and walked up to Yang Huairen and said, "Your Majesty wants to investigate the case, and this king also fully supports it, but I don't know where to start with the horse?" ”
