Yang Huairen was not in a hurry to appear, so he looked out of the door from a tall building in the Wanguo Temple first, and then figured out the situation first.

Sitting on the second floor of a teahouse directly opposite the ring, several people in Khitan Chinese costumes were the most conspicuous among all the people who watched the excitement, Yang Huairen raised his eyes and saw Cui Qing sitting in the front row of the upper row, and he understood who the young man in Chinese clothes sitting in the middle of the teahouse was.

Yelu Yanxi is dressed in regular clothes, but he also looks very noble, even if he is only eighteen years old this year, the interesting thing is that he has two mustaches, as if the beard makes him look more mature.

It's a pity that others are used to being pampered, and the skin of life is white, even if he tries to make a dignified and majestic appearance, he still feels very immature no matter how he looks at it.

Yang Huairen, the person on Yelu Yanxi's left, is very familiar, it is the Yelu Bawotai who accompanied him all the way from Xijin Mansion to Zhongjing, the old thing and Yelu Yanxi talk and laugh as if they are very intimate, Yang Huairen guessed that the old guy should be boasting to Yelu Yanxi that he had already tried Yang Huairen's cooking skills.

And Yelu Yanxi's right hand is a Khitan man in his forties, who is very capable, with crooked eyes, and looks as if he has always maintained a smiling appearance, and he is also interjecting with Yelu Yanxi from time to time, and it seems that their relationship is also very close.

I don't know this person Yang Huairen, but fortunately, there is Xiao Lao'er, after all, he comes to Liao every year to send New Year's coins, and the Khitan nobles should know a lot.

Xiao Lao'er squinted his eyes and tried to take a look before he smiled, "This person's name is Yelu Pu, he is the grandson of Liao Shengzong, he is Yelu Yanxi's cousin, and he is also a Khitan nobleman who is relatively powerful today.

Because the titles of the Khitan people change too often every day, Yelupu can't remember what kind of official he is, but he knows that he should have just been promoted last year, and now he is in charge of the left battalion of the Great Eagle Army, and he is a senior general among the Khitan generals. ”

Yang Huairen nodded, it seems that the supporters around Yelu Yanxi are very strong, the two in front of him, one is the current Southern Privy Council envoy, and the other is a general of the forbidden army, it can be seen that Yelu Hongji is still very concerned about his grandson, and he also specially promoted his cronies to assist him.

Yang Huairen pointed to the spectators on the second floor of the restaurant on both sides of the ring and asked Xiao Laoqier to introduce, Xiao Laoqier identified them one by one, and recognized several big people, and Yang Huairen was most interested in Yeluchun and Xiao Dabuhe.

Ye Lu Chun is in the restaurant on the left side of the ring, he is the son of Ye Lu and Lu Wei, the generalissimos of the Liao State today, and he is also in a high position in the forbidden army.

And Xiao Dabuhe, who is sitting in the restaurant on the right side of the ring, is the son of Xiao Sabi, the envoy of the North Privy Council, who seems to be less than thirty years old.

Judging from the situation where they were seated, Yang Huairen sensed that the relationship between them was very delicate.

For example, Yelu Bawotai and Yelu Pu, according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, one of them is Yelu Yanxi's uncle and grandfather, and the other is a clan cousin, which is definitely not as close as Yelu Chun, Yelu Yanxi's orthodox cousin.

But in reality, Yelu Yanxi's closeness seems to be completely opposite, Yang Huairen has to wonder, is it this Yelu Chun who threatens Yelu Yanxi's status as the heir to the throne?

Therefore, it seems that there is no deal between Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun, and as for whether they have other grievances or stories, Yang Huairen has no way of knowing, so he can only wait to contact Cui Qing for further analysis.

Xiao Dabuhe's side, Yang Huairen knew with his eyes that this kid seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yelu Yanxi, there was jealousy and hatred in his eyes, but because he was too obvious, Yang Huairen felt that this person had no heart and did not look like a person who could achieve great things.

In fact, according to the purpose of Yang Huairen's visit to Zhongjing, it is not necessary to make a big mess in the Khitan court, as long as there is chaos, so that they have no time to take care of the war in the west, or delay the response.

So no matter who Yelu Yanxi's opponent is, and no matter whether he has enough scheming to get things done, as long as he can help add to the chaos, it will be enough to achieve the goal.

In addition, beside them, Yang Huairen also found several high-ranking Han officials, it seems that the relationship between these Han officials and Khitan nobles and officials seems to be very harmonious, and some talk and laugh and even give people the feeling that they are very close.

Yang Huairen frowned and couldn't understand it a little, and Xiao Lao'er suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and explained a little embarrassed, "Grandpa doesn't have to be strange, and he doesn't have to take it too seriously."

In fact, in Liao, most of the Han people who were bullied were poor and ordinary people, and some of the Han children of local Han families and big families actually had a very high status, and there was no need for the Khitan people to have a bad status.

Yelu Hongji's policy of getting close to the Khitan and Han people began to be implemented from these Han people.

In fact, after the Khitans occupied Yanyun, in order to stabilize the situation, the Liao Emperor attached great importance to some famous sons of the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun at that time.

In addition to retaining their original official positions, they also gave them titles, and there were not a few who were knighted and worshipped, although the actual power of Han officials was limited everywhere, and everywhere was lower than that of their Khitan counterparts.

But at least the nominal status is very high, grandpa, you also know, we Han people have such shortcomings, love face, as long as they have a good-looking and good-sounding name, they don't care too much about the amount of real power.

They make a lot of money, they don't do a lot of officials, and they live a leisurely life, so this kind of Han people actually don't have much sense of identity with our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yang Huairen was surprised, "Recognize the thief as a father? ”

Old Xiao smiled awkwardly, "Uh...... Kind of that, I guess. Let the lower officials say something, and now in such a situation, they can't complain about it.

After all, the Khitans have occupied Youyun for nearly a hundred years, and these big families of the Han people were also interested in the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, but later our Great Song Dynasty really did not have the ability to recover Yanyun.

When the people contributed money and efforts to rebel against the Khitans, they asked the Great Song Dynasty for help, but the domestic situation in the Great Song Dynasty at that time was not stable, where could they take care of them?

Ignoring their lives and deaths in this way chilled people's hearts. While ignoring it, on the other hand, high-ranking officials are trying their best to win over, under such a gap, it is difficult for people's hearts to remain unwavering.

Later, the children of these families were all born in the Liao State, and their parents were all officials of the Liao court, although they were Han Chinese, but their hearts were already inclined to be loyal to the Khitan Emperor, so they gradually lost their sense of identity with the Song court. ”
