"Old Fan, it's only half an hour, why are you drinking like this?"

Li Xun almost hugged Fan Zhongyun and walked out of the You Mansion gate.

Fan Zhongyun's face was flushed, she pushed Li Xun away, stood a little crookedly, reached out to rub her forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Your brother-in-law is so enthusiastic, I almost lay down and left here."

Li Xun laughed and said, "This kid is taking the opportunity to take revenge on me and expose his anger on you."

You Shaotang has no other skills, but he has a great alcohol tolerance. None of the ten Fan Zhongyun is his opponent.

Li Xun whispered: "Old Fan, I don't know what's going on. Today's birthday party, I always feel a little awkward, but I can't say what's wrong with it."

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "I asked clearly. Today, there were thirteen families. Almost all the families in Fengjing came, and all the families who came came were important figures in the family. Mr. You's reputation and seniority are indeed very high among the aristocratic families, but not to this level."

Hearing these words, Li Xun suddenly realized that in the circle of the aristocratic family groups, You Yuanfeng's weight is not small, but it has not reached this level. It is a very strange thing for so many heavyweights to come to support his birthday party. As the saying goes, you will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Perhaps they took advantage of the opportunity of You Yuanfeng's birthday party and everyone gathered together to achieve a certain goal.

After leaving himself, the others stayed. Thinking of the fact that You Mingyuan just told him that the child was sick and went back to accompany him earlier. Now it seems that this is a disguised way of seeing off guests.

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun and whispered, "What do you mean? Let's talk about it when we get on the carriage."

Li Xun nodded, and the two of them got on the carriage one after another.

There were two people in the carriage, Li Xun and Fan Zhongyun.

Li Xun asked, "What else did that boy You Shaotang tell you?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "I have said a lot. The most important thing is that You Yuanfeng's 85th birthday was not planned to have a grand ceremony at the beginning. Six days ago, Liu Jie secretly visited him late at night, and the two old men discussed for the middle of the night. The next day, You Yuanfeng changed his attention and sent invitations to invite all the aristocratic families in Beijing to come to the banquet."

Li Xun said strangely: "You Shaotang came back three days ago. He is a young boy. Will my father-in-law tell him all these things?"

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said, "Some things are not easy for your father-in-law to explain them clearly."

Li Xun was slightly stunned, and then realized that the You clan had great power in political decision-making, and You Yuanfeng had a great say in his decisions. Many times, You Mingyuan could only follow his decisions. Through the mouth of his son You Shaotang, he told Fan Zhong to let him go, and indirectly reminded Li Xun that this was a kind of love for his elders to his younger generations.

Thinking of this, Li Xun felt much better. It seemed that You Mingyuan still had his son-in-law in his heart.

Li Xun frowned and said, "There are many gaps between major families and uneven hearts. Even if they get together, they have their own ulterior motives. What big things can they do?"

Fan Zhongyun said in a low voice: "Since they are together, they must have a common goal."

Li Xun said: "Liu Jie and the You family have always been on the side of the emperor and are moderates. They have been in power for many years and have excluded most of the aristocratic families from the court. Now they are together again. Can they feel at ease? What trust can they have between them?"

"Li Xun, there are some questions, you're too simple to see."

Fan Zhongyun sneered: "Whether the Liu family, the You family, or the Yang family, what they did in the past was just a political means and attitude. It was because of the needs of the current situation that they did so. There were no enemies or friends in terms of political interests. Now that the situation has changed, the means and attitudes will naturally change. And after all, they belong to the same circle and the same class, and they have common fundamental interests, which will not change."

Li Xun heard the profound meaning of Fan Zhongyun's words and said in a deep voice: "What is their purpose of squatting together?"

Fan Zhongyun was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand. The current situation has not reached this point yet, but they did this. But I can tell you one thing for sure that their purpose of joining together was for the emperor."

Li Xun said: "The pressure the emperor puts on them is not huge, right?"

Fan Zhongyun whispered: "The political sensitivity of the aristocratic families is far beyond other people. The emperor has made great moves recently. He is to form a new army and to raise new policies and reforms. Both major events have almost bypassed the aristocratic families, which may have made them feel a huge threat and pressure."

Li Xun said with deep feelings: "I'm actually very surprised. Why is the emperor so anxious? The new army and the reform can actually be separated and carried out slowly. After three or five years, the new army will be consolidated and has strong military power in hand. Wouldn't it be easier to do something? Now, less than two months after the new army was established, the emperor has been eager to reform the new policy, and both ends are unstable. For this reason, I advised the emperor several times, but the emperor's attitude is very firm and he insists on doing it alone."

Fan Zhongyun said: "The emperor must have his own ideas and reasons for doing this."

Li Xun asked, "What do you think is the reason?"

Fan Zhongyun rolled her eyes: "I'm not a god, how do I know?"

Li Xun smiled and stopped talking.

Momeng Grassland.

Ningjing was first built in April of the seventh year of Chengping. It used hundreds of thousands of manpower and huge amounts of materials. It was not until today that it was completely completed.

As the capital of the Liao Dynasty, there is a very strange phenomenon here in Ningjing. Most people like to live in the city. The Hu nobles and ministers went to court during the day, and after work, they left the city and lived in their own large tents. Therefore, outside Ningjing, there were tens of thousands of tents and countless cattle and sheep. Many tribe leaders were appointed as court ministers. Not only did they go to Ningjing to serve, but they also brought their entire tribe. This phenomenon was very common in the Liao Dynasty. The Hu tribe still maintained their traditions. Whether it was migration or war, the entire tribe was in action.

There are more than ten people standing on a hillside high ground.

"Many ministers say that the land reform in Shuocheng is done well, and I have never believed it. I went to your side to take a look this time, which is an eye-opener. Many of your construction and plans have surpassed Ningjing. I am ashamed."

Huhebari pointed to the dense tents and cattle and sheep in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

Tumon whispered: "Prince, political reform lies in determination and execution."
