As a nomadic dynasty, the royal court did not have a fixed resident. The emperor had spring water, autumn mountains, winter and summer Nabo, and a group of civil and military ministers also moved. The spring water was a place with big rivers and lakes. The emperor caught geese and fished, which was an old habit of fishing and hunting.

In the second year of Baoyuan, Yelu Zongzhen set up Changchun Prefecture in Yuerlu, which became his favorite place to come in spring.

In the spring of this year, Yelu Zong was still here. He brought his confidants to Yueryu to fish and catch swans, while the ministers handled political affairs at the garrison, and everyone was used to it. Seeing that in late spring, if you were to avoid the summer heat, you would set off, and the Oludo was busy. At this time, Liu Liufu returned from the Song Dynasty and caught up with Yelu Zongzhen.

When you go to the imperial garrison, in Khitan, like officials from the Song Dynasty, they can also be called the Hui Dynasty. Although the Khitan has four capitals, some capitals and Da Nei, they are actually only named but not real. The emperor is not there, and the central court is not there.

At this time, the top minister of the Khitan was Yelu Zongzhen's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, who was sentenced to the affairs of the North and South Privy Council. However, he did not take much care of daily government affairs. He only went out to fish and hunt with Yelu Zongzhen every day. The state affairs were handed over to the North Privy Council Privy Council King Zhao King Xiao Guan and the South Privy Council Privy Council King Wu Xiaomu, and to take charge of political affairs with Ma Baozhong, Prime Minister and Privy Council Privy Councillor Ma Baozhong.

The Khitan official system was learned from the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Although it was the same as the Song Dynasty, it had different positions. The Khitan's Zhongshu only had his name, and only the Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi of the Nanyuan was the prime minister. If he did not serve as the Privy Council, he would not participate in major national affairs. The whole country was determined by the Privy Council, and the Privy Council was actually the prime minister of the previous dynasty.

The mobile royal court of Yelu Zongzhen was called Oludo. It was a nomadic tribe that united military and civilians. As he moved all year round, it was actually a nomadic tribe. Each emperor would leave an Oludo. After his death, he would be in it. The descendants of the emperor who had not become emperors were all set up. In addition to the emperor, the empress dowager who was appointed as the throne would also have Oludo. Of course, by this time of Yelu Zongzhen, there was also a special person, Han Derang. These ten Oludos, plus the central office mainly of the North and South Privy Council, were the Khitan royal court.

The North and South Privy Council was an old system that began in the Tang Dynasty. The two Privy Councils each established their own departments and were in charge of state affairs. Because the Khitans had their own doors, both houses and clan tents, they opened to the east, and the two Privy Councils were located in the south and north of the imperial tent, which was named after them. The Privy Council was divided into two, and there were also remains of the Song Dynasty. Now the Privy Council in Kaifeng City is actually divided into two courtyards, and there are two official seals. However, the Song Dynasty only used the seals of the East Court, and the two courtyards were actually integrated.

The Khitan's North and South Courts were actually the East and West Courts of the Song Dynasty, but the customs of the Han people Shangnan and the Khitan's Shangdong had different names. At this time, the Second Court divided the labor, and the North Court was in charge of the affairs of the Khitan headquarters and other nomadic tribes, while the South Court was in charge of the Han people and the Bohai people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. At the same time, the directors were not only the two Privy Councilors, but also the Prime Minister Ma Baozhong.

When Liu Liufu arrived at Yuerlu, Yelu Zongzhen cherished the time he was leaving for the last few days and took his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan to fish. Liu Liufu could only meet the two Privy Councilors.

The Khitans naturally respected the Khitans, and the one with the highest status among the two courts was also the Privy Council envoy of the North Court.

When he arrived outside Xiao Guan's tent, he asked someone to go in and report. Liu Liufu stood outside the tent and looked up at the vast grassland that had turned green. He felt extremely heavy in his heart. When he went to the Song Dynasty, he wanted to extort some benefits, but he did not expect that the Song Dynasty's monarch and ministers did not agree, but he also expressed without any weakness that he would wait for Yelu Zongzhen to lead his troops to fight in Wuyuan. Speaking of which, if the Khitan did not send troops to deal with it, it would be difficult for the two countries to get along in the future. The pattern set by the Chanzhou Alliance must have changed.

As Xiao Guan's guards entered the tent and finished their salute, Xiao Guan said to Liu Liufu unhappily: "After the bachelor has been gone for several months, there have been no letters to return to the court. How could it be so unreasonable? Even if Song State does not agree, they should have known it early! We were originally scheduled to go to Kaifeng Prefecture together, but I set off one step late, so I was stopped by Song State. If I had known this, I would not have let you go first!"

Liu Liufu smiled bitterly: "King, you are wronging me! I went to Song State and got my companion on the way to stop me. When I arrived in the capital, I was in Duting Post for many days. Not only did I not see the Emperor of Song State, but I didn't even see the Prime Minister. How could I send any letters back? This time we responded to Yuanhao and mediated for him and Song State. I am afraid that it was a big mistake!"

Xiao Guan suddenly stood up and glared at him and said, "Does Song State not agree? It's outrageous! He is not afraid that my army will go south!"

Without catching up with Liu Liufu, Xiao Guan was promoted to the King of the North Court after he came back. He was in a hurry. When Liu Liufu said that things were not going well, he was about to break out. When Liu Liufu was still in Kaifeng and had not come back, the Khitan had gathered some soldiers on the border, which was to scare the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it would not work at all, so Xiao Guan could not bear it.

Liu Liufu asked how he was delayed by Fu Bi on the road with various excuses after he arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture. After he arrived at Fu Bi, he could not see Zhao Zhen and the prime minister. Finally, he showed Fu Bi the intention of a military threat and was immediately pushed back and told Xiao Guan one by one. Since the Khitan wanted a military threat, the Song Dynasty stopped talking and sent Liu Liufu back directly and sent troops on the front line.

Xiao Guan's face became paler and paler as he heard it. He never expected that this would be the result. Changchun Prefecture was far away from the northeast, thousands of miles away from the northwest. The Khitan monarchs and ministers knew nothing about the situation where Dangxiang were, and they thought the two countries were still fighting hard. But they didn't know that in the past few months, Xu Ping swept the leaves in the autumn wind in Dangxiang, so there was no room for mediation.

When he heard the most sentence, Xu Ping wanted to hunt with the Khitan under Yinshan Mountain, Xiao Guan could no longer bear it. He slapped his desk and said sternly: "How can the king and minister of Song Dynasty dare to say such words? How can they bear it? The scholars took a break, and I asked the King of the South Court and Xianggong Ma to come over and discuss together. Then he sent someone to inform the officials and return to the imperial tent to discuss matters!"

After saying that, he sent someone to invite Xiao Xiaomu and Ma Baozhong from the Southern Court, and then sent someone to inform Yelu Zongzhen and Yelu Chongyuan who were hunting. In name, both the north and south courts were under the jurisdiction of Yelu Chongyuan, although this official position was more like a noble family for him.

Not long after, Xiao Xiaomu and Ma Baozhong arrived at the North Courthouse tent, and Du Fang, the deputy governor, invited him to come. In the Khitan, the governor, the governor, had to be appointed as an envoy to participate in military and national affairs, which was different from the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, the governor, was invited.

After hearing Liu Liufu talk about the mission in detail, Ma Baozhong looked heavy and said, "This matter is not small, I am afraid that we will be reckless in agreeing to Yuanhao's request this time! In recent years, the Song Dynasty has been prosperous, and there are many fugitive households on the border, which are not comparable to before!"

Xiao Guan waved his hand suddenly: "No matter how prosperous it is, can it stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of this dynasty? How can the Song State bully us so much? Needless to say, when the official family comes back, they will order all the troops to kill them!"

The South Court is in charge of Youyun's affairs, but it is not as optimistic as Xiao Guan. Xiao Xiaomu said: "Don't shout for fighting and killing, let's make it clear first, what's going on. Hundreds of thousands of troops can't come just by speaking!"

Xiao Guan was not willing to listen, and just said, "It's no need to say that if the Song people want to fight, then just fight! Since the Chanzhou Alliance, the two countries have not fought for decades. It seems that the Song people are tired of having a good life! If they don't send troops this time, they will be unable to get along in the future!"
